If your looking for fonts just check out the fontchanger thread in this section also get a good launcher witch ever one you chose spend the money and get the pro version they have more options also the gingerbread key board works great there is some good battery status and notification bar symbols floating around to go to show us your home screens to see what others are doing hope this helps!!! Oh almost forgot a set CPU and rom manger are a must sense you will be doing alot of back ups HAPPY FLASHING!!!!!!!

Ice Glacier is a great rom.
A couple of my favorite apps that I must always have are:
Widget locker lockscreen
Quick desk
Rom Manager
SMS pop up
Quick boot or equivalent
And if coarse my button mods

It is in the devolopment forum but here is the link. http://files.androidspin.com/downloa...5.1_signed.zip
And the reason you dont have the market with CM is you need to download and install Gapps.zip for all CM roms. They are not included.

Not really sure why everyone seems to swear by iced glacier on here (other than its been out Longest) but I personally enjoy the sense ROMs provided by evil and gorilla a lot. The look of true HTC sense is beautiful by itself, though there are a lot of ways to theme them to your own liking. Plus, you get your HTC widgets by default, as well as other awesome HTC services. Plus, if speed is your thing, both can be overclocked. Battery life is good in both.
Anyhow, that's my two cents. Everyone has theit own opinions on what ROMs are best, and that's mine.

I dont swear by Ice Glacier. It is a good rom, but the others you mentioned are very good also. It is really about what you like personally. That is the great thing about Android and a rooted phone. You can check them all out and then decide what you like. All of them can be themed and every one can be overclocked for speed. Including Ice Glacier.

[Q] Whats better....? CM7 or RoyalGinger 1.6

Over all i want to know comparison please if y'all can help! If you had to choose which one would be better CM7 or RoyalGinger 1.6. I am on CM7 just trying to see if its worth getting RG1.6 help me out here!! Thanks in advance!!!!!

CM7 Nightlies

Thanks I'm really liking it but I heard the RG looks great and saves battery life
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

I switched from cm7 to royal Ginger 1.6. Very fast and responsive. Moving from screen to screen is quick. Apps load up fast. Actually i am having trouble using up my battery everyday before charging it at night. Sometimes it will last two days without needing to be charged. Coupled with faux's latest kernel Cfs lv I have not run into any problems so far. Signals are good and strong.

I moved from CM7 to RG1.6 and can say it runs a bit faster and good on battery.

I have to give that a try sometime. faux keeps releasing a new version every day...i am tempted. I have always been fan of pure google experience (and then customize on my own)

use the new CM7 (7.0.2) its very stable.

If you want pure aosp that is fast as hell without the extra crap... get faux's rom. Its amazing.

Don't really like questions like this but every rom is different. It is all personal preference. Your phone is different as well it may not like certain roms. You should do try out different roms to see what your phone likes best.

I think what is being asked here is not which one is better, because that answer would be based on opinion; the info sought here is what are the ups and downs of each ROM so he will know which one would be best for him.

The only way to know based on your own preference is to try them all. It only takes a few minutes to change roms. I suggest you try them all for a few days each ans go from there.
My personal preference is pure Google. I hate extra stuff. Some people need a little flavor so CM is great. Just try them all and make your own choice

I would say that is the best thing to do try them all... I'll be honest with ya out of the GB experience i like what Royal Ginger has done lately and the new Cm7 is really really stable good experience.. But i always and i mean always go back to Royal Glacier (mysense) i know i know.. but it's fast as hell in my eyes.... and i have ALL of my phones functions... anyways, to each his own..

lol... well yes, but that ruins the purpose of MIUI

I bounced back and forth between sense and miui for weeks, and finally decided on miui. For my phone, miui is way faster than sense. My battery on sense would only last a few hours under heavy use. With miui, I can go all day and still have battery left over in case I forget to charge it when I go to bed. The argument that using a third party launcher doesn't make any sense to me. The purpose of custom roms is just that, custom. With miui, I can do whatever I want with it just about, it even already has a pretty extensive theme database set up that's as simple as download and apply. Every miui theme is fully customizable, and is compatible with go launcher, which is the launcher I use. I just can't give up my app drawer for some reason. I love miui so much, I even use it on my Nook Color over CM7, it's all about speed for me, and sense really slowed me down.

I like Muiu because it isn't as bulky as sense and still manages to look really good. I basically only use launcher pro so I can keep my app tray. As far as speed and battery, it seems that Miui is the sure winner. I will say that Virtuous Unity seemed a lot less buggy
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

MIUI for me lol. It honestly comes down to the fact that I can have heavy use, lots of customization and still get insane battery life.

I just flashed VU 2.39 again just to see if I would miss it since I used that before Miui and nope. I can't see myself leaving Miui for a sense ROM in the foreseeable future.

Sent from my HTC myTouch 4G using XDA App

Me personally, I don't get better battery life on miui. I get around 12-15 on miui and virtuous unity 2.39 I get 16-24 hours with tdj kernel. Miui's operating system is faster in general but it's not like sense is slow at all so no problem for me. GPS on miui would take forever to lock on then it would drop and require a restart of the app after 5 minutes. Sense GPS locks in seconds for me and doesn't drop. But besides the lockscreen, dr. dre beats eq for music, and overall sense polish, the real, make or break reason I use sense over cm7 and miui is the integration of flash in the sense rom. It just works! No black screens or choppy stuttering (after fixing the the black screen problem by stripping permissions on the flash file) like on miui am cm. Basically if you want your phone to just work then sense makes sense. Use a launcher like go launcher if you want a speedier set up with all the sense integration and under workings. That's what I do. I couldn't be happier !

I prefer Miui simply for the customizations and battery life. I'm a heavy user so battery life is essential and I get roughly 17hrs out of it using tdj kernal. By no means is there anything wrong with a Sense rom, it has great battery life and is visually appealing as well, guess it all comes down to taste! And everybody uses their phone differently and has different setups which determines the battery life you get. Battery Life and Customization is what I look for and is why I chose Miui

Is ICS being developed for mt4g

Just wondering if any of of our developers started cranking away on an ics port for our phone. It seems development has kind of slowed a little on our front and considering the mt4g is still a beast of a phone i would hope so... Thanks!
Sent from my myTouch_4G Doubleshot 1.6 using XDA App

Development has slowed? Seriously? The dev forum for the Mytouch 4G has exploded recently. ROMs galore.
I have read that devs trying to compile from ICS source are having difficulties. Just give it time.

Actually TDJ and RK have resumed development of that port. Not sure why since Capy is now developing his original ROM for the MT4G.
CM9 will be brought to the MT4G and I highly doubt we'll see any decent ICS ROMs before then.

Yea i saw that. The only thing making that rom perfect is the ffc being upside down, which is an issue in all 3.5 roms ive ran across at least in my experience. But im sure ics will be awesome once it comes, cyan expects it being about 2 months before we see anything cm9 released.

I am good, Deving away with this great device. My old team pretty much jump started the dev community for the MT4G about a year ago, we released like 10 Roms, Now we all went are seperate ways and I joined up with TDJ and we are now DARKSIDE Dev Team. I am working on Sense 3.5 Rom, ICS Rom (built from source), and a CM7-Hybrid Rom. Besides that I am hanging in there. Thanks for the Mod. What are you up to?
Edit: Anybody wanting to try this, Do it, I completely support anything Sparksco offers, his Rom was legit back in the day of the G1, He is a great dev. There you go gave you some endorsement. lol

It depends on what you/he wants. They all have their advantages. Personally I like the Dark Unicorn... but ROMs change quickly, so pick one, try it, and if you/he don't like, try another.

The 3rd thread about "Best ROMs". How many times does everyone have to say this: There is no best ROM. It's all based on what your brother uses and needs to be working. He could be a huge bluetooth user, and a ROM could have broken bluetooth. That ROM might be good for someone else, but not your brother. Come on...there are threads about it. And just look in the dev section of what looks best.

I just flashed the latest CM7 nightly. Honestly, its really great. I was all ICS for a long time, and was surprised by how blazing fast and super stable it is.
Edit: Saw your request for links below.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2269/update-cm-7-20120603-NIGHTLY-glacier-signed.zip

I get the Keyboard lag issue with CM nightlies, but I don't with BlackIce. That's what I'm currently running. I don't know if they do something to pep it up or if its in my head.
I know you asked for AOSP, but I'd also recommend the StockMOD ROM before they added Beats Audio. You could just run ADW Launcher but you get some of the bonuses of Sense. I know people like to grip about Sense but in my experience after about a week of using both, StockMOD was barely slower and got about an hour less battery life each day. Everything worked though and the Sense camera is much nicer.
