Which ROM should I download?

Default Which ROM should I download?
I am currently running CyanogenMod 5.0.5.3 on my nexus one. However, I am eager to try something new. The reasons for switching are due to some stability issues with the ROM.
My checklist is quite small:
1) built in tethering
2) easy of use
3) very reliable and stable
Optional
2) would prefer support for Persian/Arabic font. however, it' is not essential
Any ideas?

you can try Enomther's latest release (1.9.2) released today; very stable with bunch of features; check out his changelog in the development section

If you want bunch of features, try Cyanogen's...

dont ask.....different ppl....diff opinions.... diff tastes.....try them....there are not many

Why not just wait for Froyo? Tethering out-of-the-box.

+1 agreed...

He's posting this across multiple boards trying to get answers... as I told him on another board:
Run over to XDA and read the posts on the ROM's out there and look at the feature lists.
You really should do the legwork yourself as other have.

The time spent to make an account and spam all these boards with this post could have been used to read the feature lists and decide on a ROM for himself.
As chowdarygm said, there are not many...

HI - well you have a decent amount of choice if you're using the nexus one. I tend to stick with roms from either @cyanogen or @kingklick92 i.e the CM rom or Desire Port respectively.
I made a blog post about it - have a read and maybe it will help with your decision.
Moving on from that there are a few enhancements you can apply to the ROM's, specifically you can 'undervolt' your ROM to save some power by moving across a new kernel.
I've tried loads of them to be honest - as earlier posters have said, the Nexus one development forum here at XDA is a great place to start, there is a stickie with a ROM list - a good start.

thanks, I appreciate it. I am still a newcomer.

No problem at all, if you want any more advise , let me [email protected] or blog comment

Try Kang-o-rama...
New beta is based on CM 5.0.7, includes an OC/UV/21MB kernel, mods, optimisations and some great apps.
The best thing is that it installs in one hit, works together and is nice and quick.

Same here. The only mod I make to it is swapping out HelixLauncher or whatever it is for Launcher Pro, which seems to be much more stable.
I stick to the Cyanogen-based stuff because it's the standard, and also because I had a hell of a time dealing with those KingKx roms for my old G1. I was flashing and wiping so much my ass was raw, and Cyanogen roms are usually wipe-free.

[Q] What is the status of virtuous ROMs ? UNITY kernel ?

Are the virtuous ROMs dead ? should we switch to Taboonay ?
EDIT:
1. ALL the 4 virtuous ROMs are stuck at their versions for the past few days since 19th July
2. http://www.virtuousrom.com/ update from 22nd July states that UNITY project is on hold.
EDIT 2: People are saying "this thread should not clutter Dev threads".... well, please read the bolded part above. Asking Qs in generic area about Dev status of ROMs would be inappropriate.
EDIT 3: I think too many folks took this negatively. Changed topic from "[Q] Are the virtuous ROMs dead ? should we switch to Taboonay ?" to "[Q] What is the status of virtuous ROMs ? UNITY kernel ?". Hope that clarifies that this thread is not to denigrate any developer.

There will be a new Super ROM out any day, call the "SuperHootchieCoochie ROM". Wait for it, cuz when it hits, it's gonna make ALL other ROMS obsolete!

lol guess you are one of the spoilt ones as no updates for a few days everyone panics. they are not dead but i do think if there are no major updates from the sources then nothing more to add i am afraid. what i would like to see is kernel updates for the actual virtuous roms available. its not secret i love virtuous galaxy but thats stuck on unity v7 while some have v8/9 etc. mdj has said that galaxy will be updated when updated firmware is released. i am not a flashaholic like some as once i have a stable offering i am happy however i do like to have the latest available. i am currently trying out thor galaxy v1 to see what that offers as its a fusion of galaxy and asus goodness. i have stayed away from official acer 3.1 mods ad acer driers are not the best. saying that virtuous picasso 1.10 was electric

If you don't know about SHC rom then you're not worth it.
On a serious note... There is no need to flash every single day. If the rom is bugfree and/or there are no new sources then there's no reason to update it.
So chill back and wait for SuperHootchieCoochie ROM.

Do us a favor and ask such questions in the general area, keep this clean for development ...

+1 not only a rom oesnot need to be updated every day but cooks also have a life
Finally definitively not the good place to ask the question...

Not sure about that. A bit of a grey area This is asking about development of a specific rom. Surely its only the devs in the dev section who will be able to answer this. Its not a tip for users, a theme or an app question he is asking. Chill abit with the 'this is not for this section'.
Anyway when are we getting GT 3.2

I tend to agree with the topic starter. Although I know the developer does a great job, having 4 or 5 different roms to support, makes things confusing, not only for the developer, but also for his followers.
They wonder, what rom should i take, why he switches from Acer to Asus to Galaxy to Xoom and then hops from one rom to another. It makes me think the developer also doesnt know what he wants. Shall i use the asus core or perhaps the acer core, and if that choice is made, he hops back to another core.....
Also, if developing that many different ROM's, what you end up with is a less polished result as when you stick to one dev. direction, which is - in my eyes all to clear as m-deejay's roms still have problems with random power off, wifi problems, and some more, while i do know roms with other kernels, which dont have those problems.
So instead of showing us how many different developments the developer can keep up with for 30-40%, i think he should stick to 1 or 2, and make those 2 100%, or as close as possible to a 100%.
Just my 2 cents......

virtuous alive. moderators please close this thread

How alive is virtual picasso?
I believe Virtuous hoochiecoochie can be alive, but applies the same to the other treads, i really doubt that, as still the wifi problems, the random power offs, random screen-freezes are still as bad (or good, depending on how much you mind) as several versions before.......

Virtuous roms are very unstable, id move on if I were you.
MOD: Please dont close this thread.
Cheers!

As far as virtuous galaxy goes random reboots are a thing of the past since unity v2. From v3 onwards the kernels have been good. However unity v7 in VG 1.0.5 seems to have reverted back to old ways instead of going fwd. Its a shame thor wont release his kernel sources as this would greatly enhance the custom roms we have on here. I do agree that having so many ports can tend to confuse but from my hd2 days mdj works that way!

And 1 for closing this thread as this cant be constructive. Where would this acer forum be without devs like mdj? We have more choice than most of the other tablet owners on here. We have the chefs enhancing the stock option and we have mdj providing us with flavours from deifferent devices. That cant be bad can it? If the virtuous roms are too buggy then we all have the choice to stay clear. However there are many that prefer the custom options and can live with the bugs. We have choice in here not just from stock optimisations but custom mods from various devices. Thats must be a good. What we dont want is people starting to get on the chef and he leaves xda like most of the exp chefs all over xda are doing!

Close This thread!
For example galaxy is more or less perfect, 3 small issues to fix, but what else should be updatet. So not much to do for mdj.
And no need to flash a new rom every day, I think. Don't change a running system.

There will be a small price you have to pay for it, approximately 1000,000 pesos. But it's worth it bro! It even comes with a hot secretary that will type for you........"wait for it"!

another 1 for closing
Case in point:
I bought both the Iconia and Transformer and had a tough time deciding which to open and keep. What made me choose the Iconia was the dev support in comparison. Lets realize without dev support our tabs, phones, etc. Wouldn't be functional or as fun!
If the dev of the rom says he's still developing, then case closed.

Why Atrix developers doesn't seem like to dev directly from ICS AOSP?

Usually, (for other devices of course), ICS roms that are developed from AOSP tend to be more stable, less buggy and better than CM9 roms, so im kind of curious why Atrix developers have decided to work on CM9, even thought its far from complete?
Just a question.

I'm not 100% but I think the developers need something from the moto/nvidia which is why the rom was ported from the photon and not just built From the ground up .

NVidia won't release the drivers and sources required to accomplish this, so a 1/2 ass port is all that can be done at the moment. This has nothing to do with the devs. They are giving us the best they can with what they have right now.

Not saying that they arent working hard, just asking why they choosing CM9 instead of AOSP 4.0, just a simple question. And ponting out that builds based on AOSP seems to be more solid and stable than builds based on CM9, mostly because CM9 itself its still not from complete

Also, IIRC, they're borrowing heavily from CM7 for our current CM9 builds. I believe we'll see more options when we finally get official source and drivers in Q3.

Please read the above before commenting again! If you had read it the first time you would not have posted what you did below!.............Or maybe you still would have, who knows!!! You can program all you want for an AOSP ROM, but without device specific drivers you can never optimize for any one device. Simple as this, for any ICS on the Atrix, whether AOSP, CM9, MIUI, or whatever, you still need device drivers. Try running your NVidia graphics card in your computer without a driver................yeah, see what I mean (but then again you might like 640 x 480!)!

Woops, i forgot to tell that i was refering to other devices AOSP 4.0 ROMS, but if you are as inteligent as you seems to be, you should have known that because the Atrix actually doesn't have any rom coded from AOPS 4.0, at least on this forum.
The roms i was refering to was ICS Passion and ICS Euforia, both made by the same developer, Neobuddy, made for the Samsung Vibrant, a 1ghz phone, with 512mb for ram, without official drivrrs released, and the rom is more stable than the current Atrix ICS builds (no offend, i recongnize the guys are doing a great job making it happen), and almost as smooth as a the builds, and that phone is in a similar condition driver-related, that its, without any drivers being released. Thats why my doubt came, why the developers chiosed CM9 as a base, even thought it isnt really stable yet, and not completed, and why builds made from AOSP 4.0 tend to be more stable?

And that's why I asked you to link them. You are comparing AOSP ROM's on other devices to CM9 on other devices. Because you see something run more smoothly on one device, does not directly mean it will run smoothly on another device. In any event, your question was answered in as far as there are drivers and source that the devs do not have in order to make any ICS based ROM's work optimally on the Atrix. If I had to hazard a guess as to why the devs are using CM9 as a base, it would be because the groundwork has been laid for them. The Atrix doesn't have an army of devs, so we get a smaller mix of options with ROM's.

custom roms for arc s review

hi every one
i would like to open a thread about reviews on custom roms on ARC S
reviews made as ORDINARY USER
it is just about how you think of your device AFTER a custom rom
what you like or dislike.....
what you miss or need and didn't found ....(no need to tell how and what you do , because that's another subject)
NO NEED to post Q or BUGS or HOW TO or REQUESTS or DEEP DEVELOPER details JUST....USER OPINION!!!
AND please give credits to the developers of the ROMS by posting links to threads you found the custom rom in.
Starting form here:
Arc S with rooted GB (LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62) and CWM installed
AtoMic GB 5.0 final (custom rom)
AtoMic Gb 5.0 Arc S patch!
Atomic mod system ui
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083286
-device working fine no lags or errors ..until now
-installing apps &games and they are working good for me
-no file manager pre-installed
-don't like ring tones
my overall opinion it is GOOD rom to try!!!:good::good:

You should use the respective Rom threads to post reveiws about romS!
edit:
allright if everyone wants it

Well I think it's a good idea for a thread that could help people in finding ROM's with features they are looking for. I dislike posting off topic so here I go:
CyanogenMod 10
+Clean
+Stable
+Fast
+Not as bloated as stock ICS
+JB notifications are useful
+Supported and actively developed
+Open source
-Camera is awful
-Ringtones could be better but who really cares?
Oh and don't take XtremeSilencer seriously he's not so bright...

The way People can find what they're looking for is by reading the ROM threads in the development section, not by reading noobs opinions on one of the many variations of a "best ROM" thread, which this is, evident by the short summary of what the OP thinks about the ROM.
I can't agree more. Which ROM is the fastest? Which kernel is best? etc. etc. It's like walking into a bar and asking which drink is the best. You can't get your answer because every person around has a personal taste and looking for something different.
Going further. Telling that one ROM is better than another is quite disrespectful to developers. Most of them spent much time making their work for FREE and one guy can easily depreciate their work.
If you're looking for answer - try. It's easy and making it on your own is much funnier than looking for spoon feeding in every situations. Thinking is fun

I can't see this as valid review, because every user is different and every user has its own needs. 2 people will not have totally same user experience on same ROM and kernel.

Actually I have an Ultimate HD of course, with Ultimate HD Mod and I like it very much.
+almost no lags
+xperia z theme
+modded statusbar (better than stock, I think)
+configurable
+quite frequent updates
-few useless system apps
Grade: 5,5 (in Poland we have grading scale from 2-5 at universities )
Previously I had used several other ROM`s, for example Viper Xpieria (good, 4,5-5), Racing Bean (not so good, 3-3,5), CyanogenMod 10 (good, 4), MIUI (good, 4), Jelly Sandwich (very good, 5, but it`s no longer developed I think) and CAMPS+ (bad, 2,5-3).
So to sum up, in my opinion the best ROM actually is Ultimate HD + Ultimate HD Mod, cause of no lagging, stability, and almost no bugs.

I've been using Custom ROMs for about 6 months. So, didn't try too many of them. The reason why I switched to custom ROM was Sony Bloatware and the slowness of official ICS ROM. What I was looking for was more internal space and get the phone up to GB speeds.
First try was CM9.
+ Easy to install, best documentation out there,
+ Good customization options,
+ Frees up load of memory,
+ The GUI doesn't lag too much
+ Fast boot-up.
- Apollo player (hated it and due to regional issues, I couldn't install Google Music),
- WiFi issues
Next I tried racing bean with Fusion 4.4
+ The GUI is much more fluid than anything I tried on my Arc,
+ Customization is on the same level as CM9,
+ Same internal storage usage as CM9,
+ Includes good players/utilities,
+ Battery life didn't shorten despite the fact that the phone became more fluid and responsive,
+ WiFi locks very fast and stable,
+ No issues with 3G,
- There are 3 camera programs included. The panaroma one doesn't even launch (force close immediately). The other two are definitely below the Sony's original camera application,
- The kernel boot takes forever. I see the Fusion logo for about 40 seconds. Once the Nexus animation starts, the boot-up goes very fast. I get the feeling that the Fusion kernel is waiting for a timeout,
- The phone reboots occasionally. Especially when GPS is used (like with dedicated navigation programs). I think when the phone is under heavy load (you feel that the GUI starts stuttering and lag becomes apparent) almost immediately the Nexus X logo comes up.
I heard good things about the Ultimate HD ROM. Will try that one once I get some free time.

Each user will have different experience with each ROM. So an opinion from a certain user about a certain ROM may differ from another user. The only way to truly find the best ROM for your phone is to try it out.

i know XDA is a developers' site it's on the TITLE..... but leaving is another thing,when i breaks a forum rule i think i will be forced to leave till that happen(if it could ever) i think i will STAY. after all WRONG or WRIHT depends on where you STAND and WHAT you are tallking about.
The NOOB-thing:
if the site admins don't LIKE noobs or don't WANT them to post they coud have made subuscrition rule that ANY ONE shoud POST some thing he actually DEVEOPED before posting
AND for GOD'S sake don't keep on posting anti-noobs or NO-use comments here...if you want it to die just wait for it....don't bother to replay..you'll just make it last longer!!!!

u should try by yourself. believe me buddy, its fun if you try by youself. This is not about how you install something that is inserted into your device, and you show people that you mostly have advanced technology. more than that comrade ... it's about development.
respect those who have tried to create a custom ROM and share it here...

Stupid Macbook Air can't fly

good room and very flixable but have 2 prob power sever axperia arc s 4.0.4 and restart phone

Best ROM's for Arc S (Stable only)
Well I don't have 10 post under my belt so I can not post on developer thread but am a hyper droid flasher. Rooted my phone the very next day and voided its warranty. Since then have used many many ROMs but only few are there to remember.
Let me just go by Droid OS versions:
1. ICS 4.0.4= Pureness ROMS, VIPER
2. JB 4.1.2 = Slim bean or Super JB
3. JB 4.2.2 = Paranod Android v3.6 (Rizal Lovins) My current ROM

KitKat made for low end devices with 512MB

Hello,
XDA and other sites have broken news on new features in KitKat and one of them is that its made for wearable devices with as low as 512MB. Our Desire Z has 512MB so this will be great news Obviously our processor still lacks and GPU drivers are sticks and gum but something is better than nothing.

I was excited to hear this when I first read that about KitKat. I'm quite excited to see if anyone out there is gonna work on a ROM once everything needed to port it over is available.

The team at Cyanogenmod has commented that this wont mean a revivial of old devices since a lot of things (drivers) are needed besides RAM but needless to say in my opinion and seeing what Jelly Bean brought to the table, I think its a good sign of things to come.
Sadly, there are few really active developers on JB/Desire Z. Lets hope someone comes out with a KitKat ROM.

Speaking of KitKat, here is a lot of the stuff ripped from the Nexus 5 ROM, I personally have all of them running on CM10.1 Andromadous (I think that's the right spelling.) Hope it helps people! bit. ly /1arIQCU (via DroidLife)

I would be very surprised if Kit Kat is ported to this wonderful device. The fact that it has been ported anything beyond Ice Cream Sandwich is astonishing already, so whether they support Kit Kat or not I'd still be happy until a true hardware keyboard phone comes out.

I would be really happy to see KitKat ported over. I mean even if it isn't I'd be happy running either CM10.1 or the Gslim 1.6 ROMs, but I hope that since KitKat supports lower ram that it helps performance wise. I'm tempted to try and get into developing roms but I'm quite a newbie when it comes to that.

i hope that somebody make it for our device

I'm a newbie as well when it comes to development, but if i have the time and someone ports 4.4 to a similar device (desire HD perhaps) then i'll definitely attempt to port 4.4 to the g2. I love my old g2, when i had to send my GS3 back do to a defect in the screen I used my g2 for 2 weeks and was still impressed with how snappy it was. So yea, I may end up attempting a 4.4 rom at some point. I'll share it here and perhaps some of the better developers can take it and improve on it

If you want a tester if you do attempt it, count me in. I'm looking into porting roms currently since I have a ton of free time

Desire Z has 384MB of RAM. Rest is allocated for video memory.
But not sure if there is a way to strip the video memory or even have dynamic vram.

Still, seeing as how smooth CM10.1 is even on our device, shows pretty good promise for KitKat in my opinion

I think it's fantastic, once in a while I'll come across a small little hiccup, but that's expected personally for a port. I would make it my daily driver but I use Gslim as my daily rom only for battery life because not around my charger much, otherwise I'd be running CM10

I meant just trying to start with that, but it's far away from being so easy. I have no experience! and we need drivers!

Oh oh oh, I understand what you meant now. I was still waking up when reading that, I'l use that as an excuse. I'm slowly teaching myself how to port over roms, I'm probably going to end up buying another secondhand G2/Desire Z as a test device so I don't bork the one that I use daily

cm11.0
I'm currently working on getting cm11.0 4.4 to build. I Had it built already and a new version of cwm recovery 6.0.2.8. The rom starts but there is no splash for the time being. Don't even have permission to view the log cat. Been working off of nevergone's stuff. What recovery version do you guys have?
For your guys proof
github - adknight87
I'll upload the new cwm-recovery image on dropbox if anyone wants to try it out lol.

I can't get it to build anymore for some reason and I lost all my work I still have the zip but it doesn't boot. But I got
https dl dropboxusercontent com/u/70782275/cwm-recovery-6.0.2.8.img
I can't post in the dev side of the xda here but where can I find the work gits for someone working on cm11.0 for this device I'm trying to get this thing to work again. Also is there a irc room for the group?
I figured the cwm version that built worked with the new set_metadata in the updater-scripts for the 4.3 and up

I would like to help with, (attempt to) coordinate, and start the development efforts for KitKat/CM11 on the G2.
I can beta test, build, and debug/reverse-engineer where needed.
I'm getting a build environment prepared, so it will be a bit until I crank out builds.
