Hello All, I am considering purchasing a MyTouch 3G but need full Exchange Support. Which ROM out there is my best choice? It needs to be stable for day to day use with Bluetooth and WiFi working. Any recommendations would be greatly appriciated. Otherwise, I may end up going with the Touch Pro 2. Thanks.
I use this one, it's superb

Hello All, I am considering if you even tryed to use the search there should plenty of info about this around.
Further more i wonder if you even tryed to read the sticky topic "Please dont start a new thread if something like this happens"
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.
There ya go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555499
Edit: reported for being a noob creating an profile and posting his first question in the wrong category without even reading the rules or trying to make a search on the subject!
Wrong forum section dude, try general instead. Thread has been reported.
MOD EDIT
Moved to general forum. In future please try and post in correct forum.
HINT - For example in your case, ask yourself is your query about themes, software, games, android development etc. No its not, so post in general.
First, sorry about posting in the wrong thread. I thought a question about rom's would go in the rom's forum, guess I was wrong.
Second, I have spent time, a LOT of time, searching the forums regarding which rom to use. I was hoping to get feedback from other people that have been using them in regards to my specific requests - Exchange, WiFi and Bluetooth. Honestly, the forums get really confusing with the multiple names the devices have, the cross device porting and such. It is not a simple task to find a ROM with XYZ. Plus the forums do not always state what does work. I was just looking for some feedback before sinking a couple hundred bucks on a phone. Sorry for being a noob.
_Belial, thank you for your recommendation.

Well i guess many people using xda started to get frustrated and annoyed about how hard it can be to find what you seek. But one of the reasons for it is that things started to get messy cause of to many topics concerning the same problems/solutions.
We all been new around here once and we can all make mistakes so no hard feeling. At least we have some good moderators trying to get things in there right places
i think the question about full exchange support is a valid one.
there are many roms out there that support exchange, but they only support email, not calendar and contacts, and the change log doesn't always reflect this.
Ok I love the xda forum but there are some things that tick me off and I feeli should say what I need to say to better this forum
1. XDA needs some sort of live chat service for those who need help and answers quick
2. We need more people with knowledge in rooting and flashing roms on and to anwser questions
3. Better tutorials because these tutorials aren't that straight foward and is a bit difficult make a for dummies.
Post what you think xda needs to do to better this site

3 things I can think of right away:
1. A limit on how big your signature is. I'm so sick of seeing 1 line post and half-page long sig with bunch of worthless info in there (including your last 10 phones, gaming consoles, your cars) and load of meaninless pictures.
2. A waiting period between time when one registers and time when they can post. So many people register, don't read anything and just ask stupid questions over and over again. I'm oficially done holding people's hand to do anything that was walked-through before.
3. A required field with phone info (including bootloader, radio, rom, etc). No more guessing.
Yes, I'm demanding but I really see these forums degrading over the time.

He's not so wrong. I also noticed in the last time, that several times the same question was asked, even if the answer to the question was already given one or two days ago.
In addition it would help much to know, what is already installed on the phone, especially SPL and RADIO. So you can suggest directly some steps, without asking first about the configuration. Probably we can provide a template for the information which should be included within the signature.

mod edit: Posting PMs in public without consent is rude at best. I'll consider the below an 'open PM' back to me:
Let me say this. Everyone KNOWS XDA-DEVELOPERS is where it's at! I am in no way attempting to take away from the FORUMS, or even the WIKI! But... the Wiki is nice and all, I just see a better way. I am not taking ANYONE from XDA, I'm offering higher speed downloads, a dedicated server, and am not attempting to keep anyone from going to XDA. I am simply attempting to make (a generous one I think) an attempt to bridge the gap for files. They are gone!! We spend hours trying to find what we need. I'm trying to fix that.
Obviously the community is interested in what I am attempting to offer. Again, I am in no way trying to take from the community. I am trying to add to what is alreay here. Don't be so INSECURE. XDA is the best. I know that, you know that, we all know that. Without XDA my phone would be something totally different, and I appreciate that.
Now, I'll gladly move somewhere else if you want to keep on with the drama, as so many others have. Is XDA developers a dictatorship? Or does the community make it what it is? A community? I'm here to add to, not take away from. Don't like it? Get over it. Get under it. Or get behind it, you choose.
Regardless of what your intentions are, you are breaking the rules. So just stop doing it. You are trying to stir up drama for no reason.
I'll highlight the portions of the rules you're breaking.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
•Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
•Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Ok so one snwagner was not trying to sell anything two it's very very convenient to have an awesome site with highspeed downloads. Three why is it such a big deal if posts links. Everyone on xda has posted a link which can draw people away from the website. So now is it illegal to post links on xda? Give me a break.

As I said in my PM, everyone appreciates a good file host. I recognize that you are providing a service that is valuable, and that it is in line with the XDA rules on off-site downloads.
Obviously the community is interested in what I am attempting to offer. Again, I am in no way trying to take from the community. I am trying to add to what is alreay here.
But... you're not adding it here...?
Don't be so INSECURE. XDA is the best. I know that, you know that, we all know that. Without XDA my phone would be something totally different, and I appreciate that.
Insecurity is not the issue - the rules are the issue. This thread discusses starting a phone information site (albeit not a 'forum', per se), which is certainly against the spirit of rule 11. Again, as I mentioned in my PM, I agree that the forum format is not the best way to deliver or index all information, and the wikis exist to address that. They seem like an ideal canvas for the type of information you want to aggregate and the method you wish to use to distribute that information.
Now, I'll gladly move somewhere else if you want to keep on with the drama, as so many others have. Is XDA developers a dictatorship? Or does the community make it what it is? A community?
There's no drama here as far as I'm concerned. XDA is a community with rules, just like every other community. I'm advising you against potentially taking resources away from our community, which, again, is covered by parts of rule 11.
I'm here to add to, not take away from. Don't like it? Get over it. Get under it. Or get behind it, you choose.
I am 100% behind you adding to the community here via posting, hosting, or anything else. It's my job as a moderator to support that! Let's put this behind us and go back to work.

@snwagner, you'd probably get better luck using twitter and hashtagging XDAdevelopers and Droidx and giving it as an option. I'm don't know the site politics, but if they're sensitive to that sort of thing, there are other avenues.
Mrkite, if you ever actually spend time on this forum as a normal member of the community instead of a mod, you would see that people get very tired of being asked the same question over and over again. To my knowledge, NOBODY uses the wiki, if they have a question, they will ask it in the forum. And everyone is tired of threads about how to root and unroot. This site will eliminate the need for those questions and by doing this make the community more productive.
Now I understand that you are just trying to enforce the rules of the site. However, I think you should consider the benefits of this site before you immediately consider it illegal. If you think this is illegal can you please tell me how you allow people to post links to other sites because these tell people directly to leave the site. How can you possibly allow this but not allow out site? Have you even looked at the site? It is not, in any way, a forum and more people will be able to root, which would draw more people to xda.

I'm very aware of the issues you mention. The better the wiki is, the more people will use it, which should mean less duplicate threads / posts, which is why I suggest directing your time there.
Posting links to resources outside XDA is allowed - not doing so would be unhelpful and impossible to enforce. But when someone starts a thread on XDA that says "Hey, I'm going to start a new site that will compete with XDA - come with me" - why would XDA allow that? I am not arguing with your reasons, but the method is not allowed.
This thread is closed. If you have any further questions, please PM me.

Hi Guys
I have recently decided to start a torrent tracker for android roms due to some slow download speeds from some filesharing sites, as well as for people who cannot use some of these sites depending on there location.
I have basically spent a couple of days reading up on trackers and managed to get one working OK using xbbt and xbtit.
I am looking for people/devs etc who would be willing to help out the community and either upload there roms or even better be able to help with some basic design etc.
The site is barebones at the moment, it still has the default logo! I am currently looking for some people who have a bit of time spare to create a logo, category images etc, I have recently moved across to Ubuntu Desktop and am getting nowhere with GIMP!
I also have a couple of seedboxes set up, so we can give new roms a kickstart when they are released, looking for a few more if people have space spare to hopefully get close to a max download speed
What it seems I am really after is a couple of staff who are willing to donate some time to getting this off the ground, hopefully we can extend the xda community out into torrents for another download option.
The site is romtorrent.com, if you are interested in helping then please drop me a pm with how you can help.
Cheers
Dave
Now got a few roms up and am on the lookout for more If you are a developer and are interested then get in touch
nice job man! I really respect people like you! I'd like to help but I guess there's nothing I can do since I can't code or design logos...

Thanks You can help just by asking the developer of the rom you are using if the mind a torrent mirror
OK, so I've searched the forums, and so far have come up empty. Mods, if I missed a thread , I apologize.
What I'm looking for and would love to find, is a list of ROMs, sorted by device. Like if I wanted to see what ROMs are available for my Nexus 7, I would like to be able to visit a website, enter my device and be shown every ROM that is compatible with my device..
I believe developers would have an easier time of spreading the word about their products, if people didn't have to spend hours surfing the forums, searching for people who are running whichever ROM on whatever device. Just my 2 cents.
The fact that something like this doesn't exist is beyond me. Maybe I just can't find it..
It doesn't exist because it is logistically unfeasible and impractical. The closest you could hope to come to something like this is goo.im, and it is by no means all inclusive.

You could certainly start a Wiki. It would be a service to some.
My own request would be for people who start topics, give them a title as specific as possible.
A topic as general as this one wastes an awful lot of folks time, opening it to see what it is about.

How is logistically impossible? Its just data being pointed to by hyperlinks.. All it would take is for various developers to submit links to a particular site that would allow users to search for their device. Much like this site, as it allows you to select your device then attempts (horribly) to show you what is relevant to your device. Problem is, if you want to find out, for example, what's the hottest new stable ROM for your device, you have yo sort through all the crap unrelated posts to find it.
And as far as practicality is concerned..it would be EXTREMELY practical. The idea itself is to simplify to the process by which people access information. Pretty sure that's the DEFINITION of practical.

In most forums there is a reference thread with a list of all the ROMs/kernels/mods/guides&tutorials. Its in the android development forum for the n7

What you propose would necessitate all developers submitting their Tom's and updates. As of six months ago, there were roughly 4,000 distinct versions of hardware running Android in 195 countries. Also take into account the multitude of individually compiled kangs, along with the fact that many roms see updates on a daily basis, and the necessary scope of such a project gets even deeper and more costly.
For the devs, it would represent nothing more than yet another repository for them to keep up with. Others don't want their roms mirrored by third parties, as they prefer to either directly track their downloads or have the traffic driven to their sites.
As it stands, goo represents the most comprehensive solution to your query given the real world limitations faced.

Bad Idea.Confusion and Bricked Devices would Increase
i think having a list type site would be a injustice to the rom Developers. As they post vital information and updates as well as user feedback on the Developers. Rom threads posted here in Developer forums.. Also it allows feed back between developers and users on what they want ,what works and what does not...
Not to mention the ability for users to help with the development of there favorite rom by passing donations to the Developer..
The so called list is here alive and active. Its called xda developer forums.. Each device has its own forum each forum is broken down into sections. What more would be needed then our Developer forums . Then developer rom threads.
I would not download a rom bases on a list from a 3rd party site.. I can see that causing roms being mistaken from one to another..
Just my opinion.. what we have now is not broken.. No reason to fix it cm 10 has a download list of all roms... Paranoid andorid does as well all the big dev teams do this... Your just not looking deep enough ...
One more thing. If it were that simple without having to read about a rom. There would be a ton of bricked devices from people not knowing what they are really doing when flashing or the risk they are taking..
Good Luck on your List and getting developers on board..
