"Whats the best Rom" threads. Some info you need to know. - EVO 4G General

So first of all please do not create these threads. They just create jealousy, fights, people leave, devs quit, and so on. Second, by papasmurf151's own words, you WILL get INFRACTED for even responding to the thread. The op may get banned. So (noobs especially) unless you want an infraction or want to lose your brand new account, don't make them please. It needs to stop. I've seen so many in the past month. Just flash all the roms, then choose which YOU like best. Everyone has their own personal preference
Not trying to start a war here, just informing fellow XDA'ers. This is supposed to be a peaceful thread

Thanks for making this.

I think we should just sticky a list of roms and kernels with what's actively supported, what's not supported and which kernels work with which roms basically
Supported ICS ROMs:
Rom1
Rom2
Etc
Supported ICS kernels:
Kernel1
Kernel2
Etc
No longer supported ICS ROMs:
Rom1
Etc
And do that for each android version and tthe matching kernels so people can see whats supported what's not supported because its outdated(froyo) or the dev has moved on and then they have the list of kernels that work with what roms so they can try them out and stop asking
"What kernel works with romX?" "What's the best rom" then we can just point them to the list and say find out for yourself. And I'm not talking about linking the roms in the list just a basic list of the names for them to go and research but atleast they have an idea of what's old, what kernel works with what roms etc then I can stop :banghead: everytime I see a best rom thread pop up at least once a day makes me wanna smackanoob

Must be able to maintain the op on regular basis.
Op contains jb roms/kernels, ics roms/kernels, gb roms/kernels, and sense roms/kernels with version of sense for each rom
Op must specify version number and active or abandoned
Must link each rom/kernel to specific thread of rom/kernel
Go through pages 1-10 in dev section
No personal opinion at all in op
Must be clean and easy to read. Perferably using bbcode that this site offers to embed links and bold, color, etc...

I haven't even checked the wiki since not long after I started Modding my evo, mostly cuz even back then it was outdated and most of the links were broken. And my goal isn't to necessary to give people links but more of a list of what kernels work with which roms and the names for them to search for. Just to give them an idea of what they are looking for when searching, and to give them a push in the right direction for which kernel will work with the rom they want to try. That way they aren't posting things like "I flashed tiamat 3.3.7 on Tommytomatoes classic v0.1.0 and now xxx doesn't work anymore" :thumbup:

...I can see using that :good:

I would be willing to make a list, but I won't commit to.updating the wiki because I don't mod my evo that often any more and I'm not always checking the evo forums to keep up with everything. I think a simple list of roms and kernels set up in a format of type of rom gingersense, aosp GB etc and the kernels in the same format so you can see these are gingersense kernels and they go with these gingersense roms etc so when noobs go to search they have an idea of what they are searching for. I can almost guarantee 90% of them search for something as simple as "gingerbread kernel evo 4g" and don't understand that the kernels have to match sense or aosp as well as the android version and device type, so they end up flashing an aosp kernel on a sense rom and it breaks something and then they think either the rom or the kernel sucks and is broken when its actually just mismatched

Hello people.
I pm'd PapaSmurf about this and he gave the go ahead so if no one else has made a start or opposes it I will have a go at creating a thread containing Rom/kernel details and what not. I will follow along the lines of what evil konceptz proposed along with links where possible.
If anyone else has any suggestions for information let me know.

I created a website with all that for the Nook tablet, but there are so few roms it was useless. ill be willing to create one for the Evo, and I can set it up so multiple people can edit it and update it as need be. If i can get two or three people to help me, I can make it really useful. my nook tablet version can be found here
edit: Robobob1221 if you want to help me with this I can probably start working on the site tomorrow or monday.
also- im subscribed to the development thread, so I get daily emails whenever any thread is updated, or a new one is added, so I can at least get all the new ones and not be too much of a hassle to keep it updated, even on my own.

lmao wow by far one of the best ideas I have seen here in the forums.
not that i don't entirely agree with some of the sentiments of the more senior members, but i was a complete noob w/ my 1st smartphone not too long ago so I can see how someone coming into this now after all of the DL09/EB01/EB16 releases can be overwhelmed...
so here's a link to a thread on android central with exactly what you are looking for
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...ks-roms-themes-kernels-updated-3-17-11-a.html
... a LOT friendlier with a handful of senior members that seem to be on always to walk noobs through
you won't get as many comments that, although may be true and one should take note of, doesn't contribute at all to what you asked.
Again, everyone is entitled to their opinions on a forum, so I'm not making any attacks toward anyone, but I feel like you know when your comment doesn't help the OP and only helps you feel better about walking into a post that annoys you... and maybe consider that there are people of all different ages and lives that may not allow for hours upon hours of catch up reading

While I agree that if such a form existed... at the end of the day it most really be useless.
People will still have the same questions about this and that rom, and term, and version of phone.. etc... and if you combine ALL those answers into one form, well I would maybe make it too the third or fourth page before I give up and move on. Like a lot of forums now, some are a thousand pages.
I'm sure many people will agree the next scenario, which I find myself in a fair bit. You just soft soft bricked your phone, or something new is released... 20 min later you're sitting down with 5 or 6 browser windows open, each one has 20 tabs, and you have 30 new bookmarks made just case there something you might need later from one those pages.
lol... i tell you guys, its awful messy sometimes.. Especially when a friend gives me a phone he bricked and I've never used the phone before.

He has been bumping dead threads for the past couple days and judging by his name "1997" that is prob the year he was born.....need i say more.
Wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to unlock OEM for the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G model G988U1 (z3q) and flash a custom ROM to it. I'm aware that certain models don't allow this and I'm hesitant to test it out from the posts that I've seen describing how to do it. I saw the same thing for my model of the Note 9 and soon after found out that it's not possible for my model of it. If anyone can confirm whether or not I can and provide a link to a thread that includes the sources to what I need or links directly to the things I need it'd be much appreciated.

The Official Thunderbolt ROMs and Kernels Listing (DEAD)

Thank you very much everyone for all your support. This iteration of the listings is now dead as I'm moving onto Version 2 which will continue the evolution of the listings. I hope you all continue to help give ideas, suggestions, and what not to the new version much like you have with this one.
The new version is here:

See you all there.
Mods.... you can close this now.
Nice compilation. The only reason I am not complaining about a "repost" is because you provide much more detail than the current sticky
I think this is useful. It would also be nice to include MD5 sum of the files for those who wish to verify before flashing. This may require a lot of effort to maintain though.
*EDIT* and at this point all of the ROMs are based off of sense, but once the RIL issues are sorted out and AOSP ROMs start dropping then it would also be nice to have a line for each ROM stating if it is Sense-based or AOSP-based.

Certainly once AOSP ROMs rather if they are Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream, Honeycomb, Chocolate Cake, Sherbet, Fudgecicle, Peanut Brittle, Oreo Blizzard, Sundae, or heaven forbid... Apple Pie... then I will update the listing to reflect that.
Great post OP! The only thing I have to add is Virus ROM 3-1 version (nonsense). I believe it's the same as 3 but with all sense elements removed.

Thank you very much everyone for your kind words. I certainly plan on keep this updated as well. I might not update it right away whenever a new ROM/kernel comes out but it will be done. As far as this thread getting a sticky I'll leave that up to the mods/admins here if they want to do that or not. I'd love for it to happen but in the end (sadly) its not my call.

SFR 1.2, still the king after all this time. Until official GB or 1.3 drops, I am staying with it. Need a phone with all of its functions working reliably, none of which current GB leaks provide. CM7 holds a lot of promise but until devs get everything working I will not use it as my daily driver.

I see you are using the XDA app. You would need to switch to Browser view and search there. Or you can scroll down the General and Q&A list since it has been asked at least 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Only you can decide what ROM is best for you. You will find people that love SRF 1.2 and people who had problems with it. The same goes for any ROM because every phone is different. You won't find an answer here. You will need to go to Development and read the threads under each ROM and make your own decision. A lot of developers left XDA for various reasons, some just upgraded their phone so there is not a lot of development going on for EC05 and GB is still just a leak with no source for ROM, only kernel. That leaves only a few ROMs left and everyone wil tell you the one they are using is the best. I went to Gingerbread leaks right in the beginning and never looked back.
I'd like know this also.
I personally dont like theme of SRF1.2
and right now, themes that I like doesnt work well with SRF1.2.
I am wondering if there is stock CM7 like super stable rom for froyo?
Currently, I am tired of instable GB roms. That made me use phone less.
Is there froyo custom rom with good themes (or stockish theme)?

If themeing is your only thing then flash a prerooted stock ROM like ReRFS and then flash your themes. Super stable stock.

I used to browse the General and Q&A threads to find my own answers to start rooting long before I registered and could post at all. Later I registered myself, and used my gained knowledge to answer questions for other people in these threads.
But now, all one can find is the same repeated questions from lazy users that won't even put the slightest effort in. And none are so irritating as the "Best Rom?" threads and half of them are "for a friends phone."
Oh well, I think I'm done with the General and Q&A threads. The spirit of rooting has run dry here.

I used to browse the General and Q&A threads to find my own answers to start rooting long before I registered and could post at all. Later I registered myself, and used my gained knowledge to answer questions for other people in these threads.
But now, all one can find is the same repeated questions from lazy users that won't even put the slightest effort in. And none are so irritating as the "Best Rom?" threads and half of them are "for a friends phone."
Oh well, I think I'm done with the General and Q&A threads. The spirit of rooting has run dry here.

Random FTW! (Great roms btw dude.)
I've had the most success with EC05Plus from chris41g and DRockstar's Clean Kernel. Nothing else, other than stock, works well for me.

New Kernel?

I would like to build a new Kernel for the EVO...
I know some of the kernels we have for Gingerbread
have been apparently EOL'ed prematurely.
This is for a development of a new kernel but if it
is in the wrong section then please move this to the
right place.
I would like to build a new kernel with ALL the governors
built in them.

Could anybody help with this??
for sense, PM lithid or netarchy
for AOSP, PM Carnairb
good luck, and please include SBC
you will need to first decide if you are making it for Sense or AOSP - I would then recommend checking out threads with kernels made by dev's here (such as this thread by Lithid) as it has source links to help you out. I myself have no idea how to compile one, just wanted to help ya out some
I'd love a kernel based on the latest OTA, but with the ability to over and underclock, and with all the governors. I like the latest OTA kernel, but I miss the battery savings I can get with SetCpu.

Try the Freedom kernels. I'm using the agressive kernel and get about the same level of battery life I did when running SBC Savage Zen on AOSP and they are built off the stock HTC kernels.

I think destroyer is not updating anymore but GW is constantly updating is ROM working on putting leedroid tweaks on it. But if tethering is what you're looking for then there's an app for that. But shooter is the IMHO the best sense 3.0 there is.

SOS (swagged out stock) is nice it has tether built in I'm pretty sure. With an aggressive freedom kernel you get great battery life.

Yeah yeah, some of us were reminded not to flame while the mods has time to move the post to correct section.
Since this hasn't been moved yet OP, wrong forum and use google. Download the code, build and compile. Not rocket surgery.
I don't think we will see a new kernel till the source code is released for the new ota kernel. Just my opinion. Would love to see one before that though.

Thank You! about reminding them not to complain! I had
asked them to move it as needed in which this is a Development
area of the phone.....
I am not very good at building and compiling unfortunately
so was why I was asking for a combined effort on building a new
kernel....Nobody was making anything new (FroYo had TONS
of kernels) I had PM'ed Lithid and I have gotten nothing back...
All I wanted from him was on how to add the governors...
I use nothing but his kernel and I get nothing in response..hmm
anyways I think I will be asking a different user/modder/complier
for help from now on... (and maybe switching kernels)
Oh well....it was a lost cause I guess :/
This post has gotten well over 1k views and a lot of buzz...
there are people who want a new kernel just from the looks of it!

Definitely would love a new kernel myself! Lithid has a 3d now so I doubt he will get back to you. He is kinda sharp tongued as well. I'm sure someone will help. I would but I have no idea... Be persistent, it'll pay off.

The very first thing you need to compile a kernel is setup a Linux box if you're unfamiliar with Linux you might as well try to learn to read hieroglyphs cuz that's what trying to compile a kernel in Linux with no knowledge of the OS is gonna seem like, coding is done in string from a konsole no GUI easy to make a typo and screw the whole.code up of suggest getting familiar with some basic source before diving into kernels maybe open up your favorite rom and manually input pvyparts battery bar code then go from there that's a simple few lines of code that need to.be decompiled edited and recompiled

I use full blown linux and I know how to use the command very well...Just need to know where
to get all the stuff at to where I CAN cook up a new kernel lol
Source code at htcdev, or use am existing kernel as base.
Check out existing github accounts and look under commits, sometimes individual modifications are on a single commit and you can see how they did it.
Follow lithid's walk through to get a sense on how to compile a kernel before you start tweaking it. This will also help you get the packages needed to do kernel work. Sorry I don't have the link on my phone.
You can also google how to compile sense kernels for more info..
Remember when you add everything into it, modules, governors, etc..it makes the kernel bulkier, and in some cases slower.
Good luck to you on your quest. Remember to that research is key

[Q] Integrating Cornerstone in to a custom ROM? (how hard would it be?)

Just read that the CM team is integrating this in to CM9, it looks amazing!!
How hard would it be for someone more knowledgeable than me to integrate it in to a ROM for our Tablets? It's open source so I don't know if it's as simple as just compiling and installing, or if you would have to compile a ROM from the google AOSP after adding it?
http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/
Thoughts?
bumpity bump
I wish I had of thought of that. Why not, Google should think about integrating this as well.
Awesome idea.. would put Ios off the grid of usable tablet
very interesting .
I so would love something like this on our tablet .Thanks for the Link .I am not a developer in any way. But I did send them a email asking for more information.Maybe we can get a Developer to spark some interest when we get ics.. As of for now stuck waiting for a major update.. nothing will be seriously developed for our tablet..
This could put android Way over the top...

I asked them to visit this xda banned site.

Can someone give me a brief run down of this situation?
Just for the record, if this site requires registration for downloads then it should not be linked to. If not it's fine as long as no non gpl compliant works are linked to.
Also, roms are not subject to the gpl only kernels are.

Are you guys totally blind that you've managed to miss the DOZENS of times this has been explained in these forums!?!?
Basically, Thor refuses to release is kernel source code as required under the GPL license. Because of this, his ROMs, which have his kernel integrated, are not allowed on XDA, nor are links to his site.
He's done this because some people took his code, made cosmetic changes, then released it as their own without giving him credit. Instead of dealing with it maturely and getting those people dealt with by the mods, he decided to throw his toys out of his pram in a toddlers tantrum and withdrew his sources. Legally, he has no right to do this because, no matter what changes he has made, it is NOT his source code and never was.
Note, the above applies to his kernel only, but as he ships his kernel inside his ROMs, his ROM's are included in the ban along with his kernels.
It's a damn shame because he's a pretty good developer, but XDA have to protect themselves from possibly GPL violations, so out goes his code.

I, just don't monitor every forum every waking hour of the day. For that I can only apologise.
As for the kernel, yeah your right, it has no place here under those circumstances.
It does not stop anyone linking to that site though, providing the other criteria are met.

Assuming they linked to the Thor's dev thread there for ICS, it falls under the criteria of registering for downloads.
By the way, can we PLEASE make it clear to other users the importance of GPL compliance on XDA? I'm getting sick of others and myself getting called jealous haters for explaining basic forum rules. I'm just as bothered we're out a good dev as others but it isn't anyone's fault but Thor. And I'm not the only one who sees this. I've talked to other users and they're just as shocked by what goes on in here.
Edit: And Aaron if you have ever been into the development subforum maybe you'd have seen the sticky of the rule I have been citing about GPL compliance. You know, the ONLY rule I ever bring up on this subject. Is this the one I'm "making up"?

Actually, I'm kinda glad to see you in here... We've been pretty modless for ages and tbh, it's gotten ridiculous. I know we have mods that drop in sometimes, but really, we need someone checking things daily. I'd offer myself but I'm not exactly innocent of losing patience with some people...
