A Tmobile G1 being released. The world was in awe of an "Open Source" Smart Phone running a OS only known as ANDROID...Since then, There has been Alot of good info and various ROM's out there and the latest the Hero rom that can be used. Gotta love open source, Android, and the friends we all have virtually made from it all. But even though we have come this far, now we all cannot forget who was the key to allowing us to have this opportunity to really enjoy the openesse of the android product.... Jesusfreak himself along with the core members who assisted him in getting us ROOT. because without ROOT there would be no Hero/Rosie/Google Ion/Dude's Build/Cyan/or any now or in the future.
Not trying to say JF is any better than anyone else. It is just the thanks and appreciation has to be spread all across the field to the individuals who make haveing a G1 so friggen AWESOME, and it all starts with JF...just remember when you boot into recovery to alt+s to the next fantabulous ROM that is out and you see that JFv1.4x and talk about Nandroid backup, remember that there are a whole lot of other players in this field than just one individual.
Thanks Steve, a.k.a. Haykuro for an awesome release. And yes what an awesome release it is...
Thanks to all the developers, who brought the G1 to where we can enjoy the heck out of it no matter what ROM we are running (I don't know how my little microprocessors are still alive, so many different ROMs they have seen. LOL)
Enough of my ranting.
Just wanted to say thanks to all. I know there was a thread about showing appreciation to all developers, etc... I just wanted one to show appreciation to JF and those who started it all
Quite so, I thank you all as well.
ProTip, JesusFreke doesn't release anything that isn't, for the most part, stable.
Yes, I have Hero, but I also stayed awake till 7am.
And if not for JF's foresight, I'd have bricked my phone a jillion times this week.
But I was only an ADB Remounting of a new update.zip away.
I keep a JF build on a backup memory card JUST IN CASE, lol.
I've currently settled down with CronosDroid 2.13 the last few weeks and it's been ok. A little unstable at times (OC to 670ish MHz) and keep having to kill tasks all the time but it's not bad I suppose.
I wanted to try Froyo out and was looking at FroydVillain and Cronos Froyo.
I will try them both myself, but I was wonder what you guys think of FroydVillain 1.4 vs Cronos Froyo 1.02?
Any particular positive or negatives?
Froyd over Cronos
Positives:
Active Development
Dedicated Support
Probably as simple as that really.
Just try Cronos once, then you will come to know !

and what exactly is he meant to do when (and it is definitely a when) something goes wrong?
I love you're argument - it is so based in faith that it is a superfluous statement. You haven't provided a single reason for the OP to use the rom aside from your own arrogance. Please provide something useful to the discussion or don't bother to post. (Edit: sorry to bash you but there are so many cronos users who have no idea what they are talking about and have never even tried another rom)
I would love to hear some genuine reasons for using Cronos (from users who have tried both, like myself) because I actually respected it as a rom, but I do believe with the most recent release of Froyo that the unsupported Cronos release is obsolete.

I think both are being actively developed and have dedicated support. The thing is all the roms are getting so good now that it really comes down to personal choice. Try both and see which one you like would be my advice.

What guys are you saying : Cronos = Hate, what's that ?
Try the 2 Roms and you will have your personal idea.
(Cronos have their site for support and it's very active)
O interesting news that the Cronos project is back. Just be careful as the developer hasn't released his source code (which is against the GPL agreement which the Android platform is a part of, and his linux code isn't available either - once again illegal...). But lets not get into that again.
If Feeyo is providing support on his site I would keep all discussion there as you won't find much favour for the project on XDA at the moment
Edit: I take that back, just seen info about his sources - will see how things work out, maybe Feeyo will come back to XDA in the future and things can move on
This new all makes my first post mostly superfluous now too. My advise is now to try them all (froyo builds) and see which one suits you the most.
Well I've had FroydVillain 1.4 installed all day.
Trying to get used to Launcher Pro... Its cool, but just different. The dock makes a lot of other short cuts obsolete! Maybe thats why it comes with 3 homes screens as default... no way you need 7 with that dock.
What a shame there aren't more icons for it.
I'll let you guys know what I think after a few days time.
Thanks for your input!
Boogwee try here:
http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/
try both and pick. i used cronos for longer as froyd seems to have constant fix-patches which may be good but seems bad.
that said, i'd recommend elelinux.

Doubt that. Personal opinion no real reason.

I agree which ROM is better has alot to do which what you like I personally like Cronos better but before there was Cronos I tried the Villain stuff but I PERSONALLY never really cared for their ROMs they always lagged with me but I haven't tried any of their newer ones so the problems I experienced are probably solved.

10char.....
I have only ever used the Cronos ones.
I thought about trying a villain rom once, but i don't like the way the devs waffle on like the wideboys of XDA, so i never tried it.
Before Froyo, i only ever used the SenseHero 5.1 roms, which after some previous searching, gave me links and messages from the VR team *****ing about Stickman,
Well I stuck with Cronos for a few weeks but the last update 2.14 slowed it waaaay down do instead of going back to 2.13 I thought I would try the new FroydVillain 1.5 and I have to say it's pretty awesome! SUPER fast.
I'm even getting used to Launcher Pro instead of sense..
Thanks for the link spamianspoon, that's an awesome site..
Hi guys,
my 2 cents:
I used Feeyos Rom from the beginning, cause for my felling they were the fastest.
Since Froyo is out, i tried both, Cronos and Froyd. Till release.. i thin it was 1.0.3 or something, i was not really happy with Cronos. So i tried Froyd, which was bette at this time, but not perfect. It's just a feeling that things in the Froyd Rom take a ( really just) little bit longer.
Since Cronos 1.1.0 my opinion is clear: Go and take Feeyos Rom. It's just as fast as no Rom before at my Hero. Everything is fast and responsive.
Ah but i know one thing i miss in the Cronos Roms: MORE THEMES If you want to have very much nice looking themes you should try Villain.
But since Computerfreak ported his theme to Cronos i'm happy again I think they will be more Themes in the future.
So my opinion: Cronos Froyo
Cheers
Froyd 1.5 would have to be the fastest rom. But then again I've never tried Chronos.
Gotta say ive found Cronos Froyo to be the fastest without lag.
Hopefully MrBang will release a froyo rom, as his 1.5 was the fastest rom ive used.
did someone try the cronos 1.1.1 and froyd 1.5?
bb.

The reason I am writing this thread is because of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883222
The OP raised his concern regarding Cyanogenmod not being the biggest concerns for the Dev's. But I honestly think that during the times of CM6 the Dev's could have played a bigger role of bringing it to our Vibrant. I know Eugene tried to do something with it, but i think the release of Gingerbread 2.3 made his work not worthwhile because it was based on 2.2.I am aware that CM7 is in"heavy development cycle" due to Gingerbread 2.3, and most likely will be coming to our Vibrant. With that being said, I feel it is necessary because since we were not able to get CM6 to our phones then why not go for MIUI.
Honestly it is one of the greatest ROMS out there and sometimes i feel that our Vibrant should be getting some more love.Keep in mind that I am in no way bashing TW/Eugene or any other Dev's. Their work is nothing short of quality since I have been a very heavy user of both the Nero and Macnut Series. But I am sure that most people wouldn't mind having MIUI on their phones since its the best of both worlds. (Iphone/Android) Also, I wouldn't know the full process porting such a ROM because it is not an easy task and I am in no way a developer. Maybe it is being worked on with a 2.3 Base? Idk? I am just seeking for answers as I am sure most of other people are as well. I really hope that MIUI really comes to our phone and it becomes one of those projects where many Dev's were in the process to port the SenseUI (back in the day). Just trying to make our community better.
For Those who are unaware of MIUI ROM, here's a demo:

Flame me, Hate me, w.e.. I just think its a debatable subject.
Ty.
What is this? A new trend?
hopefullu for the good.
Here is why, in my opinion.
If 25% of the masses want cm or miui, 25% want 2.2.1, and the rest want 2.3 - 2.3 it will be.
I like miui, I even had a barely working version of it for a little while. But, the guys who use my releases know what they want, those who use TW want their roms bionic, etc for master, eugene et al.
Nowdays, with leaks once a week, I think it will be tough to get a dev to drop everything else and start a port like miui.
But, if I could do it, I would, I think.

Wow, that was the exact answer I was looking for. Like I mentioned before I am no Dev and you being here longer than me and more experienced I will take yourword for it. Your also right about these leaks coming very fast. Hopefully after a full port of 2.3 is done maybe just maybe we can get MIUI.
Thx Alot.
Yeah I Was Gonna Start Working On MIUI But I Need A Cyanogen Source, There Isn't One So I Kinda Hit A Wall
Maybe If Jellette Can Send Me What He Started I Can Just Port MIUI

Demo of the ROM.
I don't have enough posts yet to post on ROM specific threads. But I wanted to write to say a heartfelt thank you to the Einherjar Development team for making my Samsung Vibrant phone the exact phone that I dreamed it could be.
I don't have any development or coding skill, but I love to customize my phone by studying what's available and carefully following instructions. As a result, I've tried Bionix, CM7, Simply Honey, Axura, Nero and a few others. These are all great ROMs.
But nothing has ever given me exactly what I want as much as Trigger, and now Project V with the trigger theme. I am really picky about my technology, and most of the time I end up having to settle with not having everything exactly the way I wanted. But you guys at Einherjar Dev make deliver such quality, and these latest ROMs are so perfect that I even stepped back down from Gingerbread ROMs to keep using Project V.
Thank you for all of your hard work, and PLEASE keep it up!
I typically avoid these type threads, but I agree. Project V with the Trigger Theme is perfect. It allows you to have everything working and it does it well, while looking good.
I am now trying Asgard. 2.3.4 brings a LOT of features I like, but it's not the same as PV+Trigger (and that is at no fault to them, they don't have source).
Tonic_Acid made a great theme for Asgard also.

does it havehardware acceleration like asgard in te browser?
i flashed the sensation theme from EDT to the Asgard and it knocked me down to 2.3.3 and removed my voodoo lagfix.
Same here. Project V is sooo good. Im still holding from Gingerbread just because of PV. Thanks for all your hard work guys, we appreciate it.
Agreed!
While I'm sure they would prefer to be thanked in the form of donations I bet they enjoy just being appreciated as well.
Good on ya!

Heck yeah. Been using EDT ROMs since I first really wanted to flash and it's been really hard for other ROMs to be my daily driver.

I was a long term user of team whiskey roms but have flashed every rom out there outside of gb....but on 6/5/11 I found Project V and now I cannot find any reason to look elsewhere.
Project-V 6-5-11
Agreed - EDT is fantastic!
While we're on the topic - I LOVED Trigger, and now I'm on Bi-Winning v3.0. I tried Asgard, and I was impressed, but as mentioned, since no one has source, GB ROMs can only go so far. I haven't tried Project V, and I'm curious as to why everyone is all ga ga over it. I read the description as basically just being the stock ROM with tweaks, and that didn't didn't sound that exciting to me. So what is it that has everyone so excited about PV?

I don't think that's possible. I'm running Asgard with the Sensation theme and I'm on 2.3.4. I don't think it's possible for a theme to change your firmware version.

Well, that other Sensation was actually a complete ROM. He's updated it to be purely a theme now.
love 2.3.4 rom
The things I care about in a ROM are as follows in order of importance from MOST important to LEAST important:
- Aesthetics
- Battery Life
- Stability
- Performance
Yes that's right, aesthetics are a deal-breaker for me. If I can't get a ROM to look and feel the way I want, I don't care how good the performance is, I won't use it.
- Project V with Trigger Theme has perfect aesthetics for me giving me exactly what I want across every aspect of my android experience (the themed MMS is the best.)
- It delivers the best battery life of any ROM I've used to date, particularly when combined with the Bali kernel (most geared toward battery life, though Bullet is an excellent 1.45ghz option for performance)
- It is rock-solid stable, smooth, crisp and lag free.
- It's performance, meets all my expectations and needs, though being Froyo it obviously lacks GB features.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to surf ROMS. I'm too excited by all the awesome development going on. I mean, CM7 is amazing. And there's several ROMs from developers I've never even flashed yet. But I think EDT delivers high, high, high quality, and I just wanted to thank them.
First off a big thank you to all the devs and forum members who have made owning a HD2 such a joy these past couple years. Easily the best phone I've eve owned.
My question
I recently upgraded my wife to a Galaxy Tab. We live in Thailand and my T-mobile HD2 has never worked quite right here so I will be sending it back for my daughter (11 y.o.) to use in the USA. I will be taking my wife's Asian HD2 for a daily phone. My daughter wont be able to upgrade ROM's.
My question to the forum is...what would be the best, most stable daily ROM for the T-mobile phone going back to the USA. In other words, if you knew you could only flash one more ROM and that had to last the lifetime of the phone, what would it be? I am leaning towards a GB ROM due to the stability issues I am experiencing with ICS (Paranoid atm) but I am open to any recommendations.
Thank you.
id say you were right on the money with a GB rom, , ics is fairly stable, but not quite there yet. Id also stay away from sense roms, they look lovely, but will possibly make the phone feel a little sluggish to an 11 yr old, comparing it to her friends.
a CM7 rom, would be my suggestion, something like typhoon.
stability= hyperdroid rom
I reccomend you to stay away from the Sense, MIUI etc. roms. My all-time stabilty favourite is Nexus HD2, version 3.2a. It's a clean Android 2.3.7 rom. It litteraly never crashed on my EU HD2.

I agree i never had a phone until i could pay for it myself xD but hey all my friends had them, granted they were stick phones but they still had them. I just hope she doesnt use it for wrong things :/ i know too many of my friends who got in trouble for sending inappropriate things to guy friends. Makes me wonder what this world is coming to.. i hate it.
However!
ON TOPIC :S
I actually would recommend a MIUI ROM considering many younger kids have the iPhone, and MIUI is a lot like it. Simply put, i think it would be easiet for her to use. Where as CM7 has so many options for things that she may not even know how to navigate around, but since i dont know her she may be smarter than me xD i would say its up to what your daughter likes, does she like customability, or does she like ease of use? Plus ive never seen many posts about people struggling with MIUI roms (i.e. random crashes bootloops etc) So there are my two cents
+1 to MIUI. I only used it for a short while, but the UI was very slick compared to CM7. Would be ideal for a younger child.
