Hi everyone, hope you are ok
I want to change my sister's android, she has a droid pro , from Argentina 2.3.6 no root, and was coming here to watch the roms and stuff ( I'm not a noob in this, i have an lg gt540 and i have done everything with it lol)
But i'm kinda confused since it seems that roms are not for any countries...
So my question is this
what's the best cm7 rom out there? or the best aosp out there? I don't want cm9 or ics because i think it's not well developed for this phone yet, but maybe cm7 or aosp ginger is ok
please help me with that! and obviously the first step will be root, i tried z4root and universal click root with no success so any help with that too!
and if everything goes wrong, i always can turn back to default with rsd lite and the argentinian xml isn't it? thanks in advance!
pd: if anyone know if changing your android system in Argentina voids the warranty, please let me know!
I tried CM9 last night, and it was gorgeous! The only issue, my phone calls sounded like they were coming from the back of the phone, instead of through the speaker. So i decided to try dettofatto's rom....and after fiddling and fiddling for hours, finally realized how to get CDMA enabled (im on Verizon)
Its nice. Its almost stock, but its crazy fast....
Thread Closed, best rom threads are not allowed on XDA.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Im new on the Android World. I have a new Motorola Milestone 2 from the Claro Company in Argentina with the Android 2.2 with motoblur. Somebody told me an Android update should increase the performance of my phone, but Claro wont offer me any update for the moment.
Doing some research I realized that I can perform my own "UNOFFICIAL" update porting these "customized" roms. Here is where Im a litle lost.
I have red a lot of info and a lot of different ways to flash the phone and port a new rom. So, I kindly ask you to give me some guidance on this. Here are my questions:
How can I upgrade mi Android?
Which is the correct procedure?
Which ROM to use for mi Milestone 2?
I have red some post of users that bricked their phones during the process. Is this real? Can I loose my phone doing this?
I would really appreciate your help with this.
Thanks a lot.
every rom have diferent procedure.
you can try this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216705
i tested 5 diferent rom and don't bricked my phone. If you have full batery always when phone don't boot you can flash stock android via rsd.
Every time when i change 2.2.2 to 2.3.4/5 i have gsm problem but this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182050
everytime solved it
Thanks!
Thanks for the info, I am trying different roms now.
There are currently 3 roms in development session!
I recommend CM7. great
Does CM7 fix crap like the keyboard double-press and the multitouch bug?

Double pressing can be fixed without flashing a ROM. Search the forum, there is a fix.
For multitouch there is a Defy multitouch app.

i had bricked mine also. i live in russia but im not russian hardly i could find a tech service coz i cant speak russian. they are going to run jtag on my phone they were asking for rom or something like that. finally i have found a u8800 pro rom on xda. tomorrow i'll se what will happen. and i can share all my experince with it
edit: the guy who was going to run jtag on my phone in moscow now and he'll be back only on 11th of december.. unfortunatelly i'll wait or i'll try to contact with an official service center in other cities. the problem is i can not find any official service center even in other cities
I can access to the pink screen, but i don't have the image folder... can somebody help me?? i have a big problem if i cant fix it.. it reboots every 80 seconds with the unfinished root image file.. if someone can give me the original one for 2.3.5 pleeeeaaaseee send i to [email protected] i really need it, im having a hard time trying to fix it.. help..!
You need different ROMs compared to u8800, as some people discovered (rather painfully). So far, there are 4 ROM options. Stock ROM options include the stock 2.2, the stock 2.3 (no problems as with the 2.3 for the u8800), however they both suck performance wise.
Then there's a MIUI port which I couldn't even get to install on my device and finally comes cyanogenmod which is the best option so far and the one I'd recommend (you will see a tremendous difference in the performance of the UI).
hi everyone right now im on an errand for a friend of mine, i've been searching and i haven't found something that can serve me, i have found that i need to upgrade to froyo to install cm9, well in fact my friend will be fine if i just can put gb on his defy so if it is a real mess to install ics on this phone i think i will stick to cm 7.2 or 7 it doesnt matter i just need it to work fine and that he is able to install some apps that my firend isnt able to, i havent done root so if someone provide me with a good way to do it i would apreciate it a lot.
Does not mind whether you want CM7 or CM9 - first you should upgrade to froyo, best way through moto RSDLite program.
Upgrading to froyo will let you always downgrade to froyo again and you will have a way to any proper CM7 or CM9.
All info u can find here and here
U have to root, install sndInint, check whether u have green or red lens and choose any proper CM7 or CM9 to flash
Always do all steps as in threads - then u will not get into trouble
Hello everyone
Finally rooted my LG L700 last night, with the v20a rom. It said it was a European rom.
I've seen many roms around and I have a US phone. Are there rooted roms specifically for the US L7 or does it not matter?
I couldn't find any US roms on the lg l7 firmware list.
Also which is currently the best rom to have at the moment?
Just flash cm10 and thats all (cm10 official - also the best rom currently)
CM10 is the best.But on my phone (p705) deep sleep not working.
Thank you guys!
Can I just install CM10 onto my already rooted (v20a) phone?
Or do I need to go back to stock firmware again, and THEN install CM!0?
Well I just installed CM10 for the first time and HOLY ****ING ****
THIS THING IS INCREDIBLE!!! my phone is soooooo much faster and ridiculously clean looking. its like that "new phone feeling" all over again
Just came across a problem, I'm not getting any service.
Edit: Nevermind I fixed the no service issue, just needed to reinstall the baseband.
pac-man question
hi guys so i'm on cm10 and about to switch to pac-man. do i have to reset and format system when flashing pacman because i heard that pacman has a part of cm10 in it.

me too, how to fix it?
I am currently on MIUI 7, the one just before it updates to MIUI 8. What I want to know is, what is the best possible custom rom I can flash to that will work with this device? I have Team Win Recovery 3.0.0.0 installed.
I have installed Redmi 2 2014811 for my casual user (no root or else) with this base rom : miui_HM2XWCProGlobal_V8.0.7.0.LHJMIDG_3240991baf_5.1.zip via CWM

Cool thanks, I will look up the rom. I thought about Android 6 or 7, but see those still have some major issues here and there.

Major issues?which ROM r u talking about?there are so many ROMs those are pretty stable.Only minor bugs(miui also have this)
BTW devs work very hard for these ROMs and they got nothing but our thanks and encouragement. These custom ROMs are way better in performance and customization than sluggish and heavy MIUI rom.
My phone is 8months old and this phone is still with me because of efforts of devs.
So don't be so demanding about 200% no bug and be thankful to them.

Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful. I worked on Windows Mobile roms back in the day so know what type of work goes into it. I have only started to look at custom roms today and am so completely lost, guess I chose the wrong word being major. When i said major I had camera and Gps in mind, as I saw some of those roms had issues with those. So again, no disrespect meant from my side and I apologize if It came out that way. I was just kind of hoping someone could bump me in the right direction. The last time this phone was flashed the previous owner flashed it in such a way that the sim card could not be detected, after fixing that I flashed a MIUI rom, but that was sort of the Chinese version and stuff like google services did not work properly and push notifications would not work unless you turn the phone on and go into the app. So yeah if you can point me in the right direction I will appreciate it a lot.

Video recording was a issue for Nougat based ROM but it has been fixed.And about gps, it is working fine (i like to use waze)with Marshmallow based ROM.I don't know about nougat as I didn't fully moved to nougat.I have downloaded Tesla (N) and sodamod(cm 14) today .So I will report you soon about GPS in Nougat.
Till now I have tried cm(M),RR(M),DU(M),Tesla(M),orion(M),zephyre(M),AICP(M),AOKP(M).Most of them has kept my expectation.Now I am on project-x(M).It is also suberb with almost no problem.
If you want to stick with miui based then there is also"thunder-miui" by @gkalen.
Try these ROMs and see which is suitable for you.I like to stick with cm based for C.M.T.E.
Edit:-GPS works fine in nougat.
Lollipop (5.x) - CM 12.1
Marshmallow (6.x) - MoKee
Nougat (7.x) - I only tested Suda not good for daily driver
