[q] What's the best custom rom around? - Omnia 7 General

I've been using stock roms only, and wanted to try a custom one, mainly because of internet sharing (my unlocked omnia 7 doesn't have it). Also, i value a good battery life (which the stock 7.8 managed to ruin). Any tips on what custom rom i should try?
Also, what do people mean when they say to "clean the storage" when flashing a rom?

You can look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136379
Clean storage means hard reset, which you can find with the how to flash guides.

not a fan of custom roms tho :/ any way to revert? (have a Zune backup, but it won't restore)
edit: after hours managed to flash a stock rom... Updating back to latest version to check if i can restore my backup. Anyway, anyone could cook up the latest update while adding only internet sharing to it? :/

Pretty please? Stock rom + internet sharing only, no need for unlocks? No?

I'm using a stock rom, and have been using it for a few months it opens doors to other marketplaces, and tweaks. But issues too, as above user said it is a little hard to go back to a stock ROM

I'm not looking for any added features other than internet sharing tho :/ I'm even willing to donate for a 7.8 build with IS :/

Dynamics ROM is the best nowadays

Dynamics v2 is the best ROM around for Omnia 7. Simple installation, powerful Apps. The only tip for those how want a smooth flashing, use a Windows 7 x86 machine. I had troubles using Windows 8 x64.
Download MAGLDR: HERE
Download OMNIA 7 ROM: HERE (Download Omnia__8858_Release.rar file)
Clear the storage is the same as hard reset. Turn off your device, then hold Voulme Down + Camera Button + Power Button. Press the Home (Windows Logo) key twice, and it's done. Remember that all your local data, settings and apps will be lost.
Regards!

I don't think so, at least not without dropcap (see above post) You should also update your ROM, yours is so old lol.
CM7 does have screenshot built into it once you hold down power button it one of the option besides power off, reboot, etc

So does CM7, I just assumed that since the OPs ROM is so old it wouldn't.
I have ROM MANAGER installed and it gives various options such as .... download ROM and install ROM from SD card. I've downloaded one the newest Typhoon ROMS and it asks if I want to back up my previous ROM (I ticked yes) and then it says it will restart the phone and install ..... it does restart the phone, but doesn't install? Any ideas.
Am I being stupid in saying that if I install this newer ROM it should overwrite the existing ROM?
u can backup ur rom in 1 step, manually restart the phone and then install the new rom manually..

I wouldn't advise using ROM manager, I'm not sure it works on the HD2 (if you have MAGLDR at least) and you can just use Clockworkmod.

Help choosing ROM Orange San Francisco

Hi all, i bought Orange San Francisco few weeks ago, and now i am on stock ROM by Orange. (2.1 Enclair)
I wanted to ask other users what ROMs are recommended , and should i go for Froyo or Gingerbread?
My phone is Gen.1 and TFT screeen.
And also is Blade faster with custom ROM?
My two main reasons i wanna try custom rom are:
1. Moving apps to SD
2. Flash support
This is my first smartphone and i have never flashed a ROM before on phone, but i have read a lot about it and i think i understand WAY more than before.
Today i rooted my San Francisco, and i have
recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-blade-gen1 and RecoveryManager_v0.37b on my PC ... will copy them to SD using USB cabel.
But i need to know what ROM works good without bugs...
Any help is welcome , thx in advance
You should see a good speed improvement using a custom rom over the Eclair stock rom. I would go for one of the Gingerbread roms as they are the most up-to-date, and most seem pretty good for everyday use. Personally I use CyanogenMod7, but everyone has their own preference.
To install most of the gingerbread roms, you'll need to convert your phone to Gen 2. You can do that by following the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855
That will convert your phone to Gen 2 and install Clockwork in one go. After you've done that, you can install your chosen rom. Put the rom on your sdcard before you do the TPT so its ready to go. Once the TPT is finished, it will boot into Clockwork. From there you just navigate to "install zip from sdcard" using the vol+/vol- keys and use "home" to select, "back" to go back. Then pick "choose zip from sdcard" and navigate to the rom zip you put on earlier. Once its done, you just reboot your phone, and thats you. If you decide to go for Cyanogen, remember you also need to install the google apps (gapps) zip as well.
Ideally you need to change to gen 2 this can be found in this forum, this will allow you to install most new roms such as cyanogen mod 7.1.0, it's a good Rom to use.

Ginger stir fry is pretty fast and close to stock but recently stopped development I believe.
However CM7 is more advanced and offers more options and tools.
Both are running on the latest android kernel and offer android 2.3.7.
CM7 uses the ADW Launcher, GSF uses the stock launcher. Both are nice, just a matter of preference, although ADW offers more options.
If you fancy froyo more (android 2.2) there's a rom around, can't recall the name right now, check the zte blade rom forum.
CM7 runs quite fast and stable if you turn the setting down a notch (no animations, 16bit transparecy and some more in the adwlauncher).
There's a lot of support for the ZTE blade, here and on MoDaCo, but the key is trying a few things out.
Installing a new rom is childsplay so test a few out for a week or so to find one of your liking.
Don't forget to install the google apps package along with the rom (contains the market, gmail, goggles, etc.) and you can make a backupp of your apps with Titanium Backup, spares you a fresh download and install

You just need an app that can check md5sum files, there are lots of others, I haven't tested them all. I didn't realise AFV isn't available in some countries.
Either that or you just need to open android terminal, or adb shell & type
Code:
md5sum -c /sdcard/image/nandroid.md5
I used MD5 Checker to check md5 of:
CM7.1 Version (Upgrades from Gen1 to Gen2 & installs CyanogenMod 7.1 - all in one) and number in guide matched number i got in MD5 Checker.
But reading the flash guide it says i have to :
(long press on nandroid.md5 file, then Verify Nandroid Backup)
I dont have that option: Verify Nandroid Backup.
Also i try without doing that part, i just copied CM7.1 Version (Upgrades from Gen1 to Gen2 & installs CyanogenMod 7.1), unzipped it and pressing volume + and menu button while power up, but my phone froze on green Android robot logo...
I just unplugged battery and it works normal again.

The Verify Nandroid Backup option is what its called in AFV. Other apps may not have that option or it may be called something different.
When you say it works normally again do you mean the TPT worked, or its just back the way it was? If its just back the way it was and the TPT did nothing, was the image folder on the root of your sdcard? Did you hold the menu and vol+ buttons and then press the power button, continuing to hold them for a few seconds?
If you did all of this and it hasn't changed anything, try with another sdcard if you have one. Some just don't seem to work for whatever reason.
back the way it was and the TPT did nothing...
But i was first holding power button, and then holding vol+ and menu buttons with power button.
I see that in same guide one person had same problem (stopped @ green Android logo).
I didnt put it in any folder just on SD card and unzipped, then Image folder was created with other sub-folders.

Sounds like you unzipped it ok, try it again holding menu and volume+ and then press power.

Download gen1 to gen2 (there is a download link in this section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855
Unzip the file and place the image ( the image is called image, not gen1 to gen2) on the root of your sd card (ideally it is best to do this on a pc)
Also download and place the Rom you wish to use on the root of your SD card (cyanogenMod 7.1.0 stable release works well) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297776
DO NOT UNZIP THE ROM at this stage.
Put the SD card back into the phone.
Power off the phone, hold menu & vol + (up) & power at the same time, you should see some green writing, wait until it is finished (well done your phone is now gen2)
You should now arrive at the clockwork recovery screen, if not power off the phone, then hold vol - (down) and power (together), clockwork will boot.
Now using clockwork recovery, clear data/factory reset, then install your rom from the zip, that is all there is to it, obviously you'll have to enter your login details to use the market and sync your contacts etc, but your phone should now be working.
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup.
Goodluck

That thread is really out of date though, the first post was last updated 3 months ago. The roms that those TPTs would install are much older than the current ones, and the partition sizes will be too small in some cases too. Much better to use the other TPT thread that's already been linked.
Ginger Stir fry is the best I have used simply because it is super fast and pretty close to the stock 2.3, as for flash I just downloaded a arm v6 last night and it works pretty well. cant link but if you search reddit for
"flash 10.3 for ARMv6"
There should be a thread.

Vote for Cyanogenmod. Newest Android version, 2.3.7. I think it's pretty stable today. Why I think it's better than any other rom, is because it has so much features. Plus theming! Android looks ugly without themes, as you may have noticed!

if you installed clockwork mode on your phone, it's easy to install a custom rom.
To get VR 13 you have to download the rom first and copy it to your SD card root. After that you have to reboot your phone into recovery mode, by pressing for a few seconds Home + Power button when the phone is OFF.
After entering the recovery mode, i recommend you do the next steps that are very easy?
1. Backup you existing ROM (the is a section that is called Backup and Restore)
2. Wipe phone data
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Go to advanced -> and wipe dalvik
5. Press back to get back to the main menu and chose to install zip from SD card and after that Chose the ZIP and select the VR 13 ZIP and install it.
6.After installation i recommend that you flash Flykernel 13. You install it just like the rom. You chose the zip and install it. After flashing the kernel you reboot your phone and wait 10 minutes
7. When the phone is ready it enters setup mode and you know what to do from there
8. Ejnoy the new rom
If you have any other problems leave a message.

Sorry missed the other questions
1)Yes it should work in Canada
2)The backup is saved to your SD-card in the clockworkmod-folder, it will then display in rom manager (if it's installed).
You can also get to the backup through the recovery. (The same place were you installed the rom) by holding home+power on startup
Cheers

When I hold the home and power and it comes on I just get a red Triangle, I have Titanium back up and did a full back-up and used ROM manager as well, any suggestions, thanks,

You need to install a recovery.
Tap "Flash ClockworkMod recovery" in rom manager. When it's done follow stefpaul's instructions

HD2 can't get over booting procedure, unable to get to recovery

To make it quick, I tried to flash a ROM and it obviously didn't work out, so I'm pretty much stuck.
Tried to get back to recovery, but the HD2 always tries to boot the not working ROM.
How can I get back to recovery so I can flash a ROM the right way?
Thanks in advance
Push
Come on, there's gotta be a way to get into recovery to wipe and flash properly...shall I get over the procedure of flashing CWM and this stuff again? Would that get me to recovery again so I can flash a ROM properly?
Otherwise I'm really exhausted and out of ideas...
Gesendet von meinem Desire HD mit Tapatalk
Start up your device and press and hold the Red Button (end call button) until it loads the MAGLDR. Then choose 8 and load into recovery.
I read something about 7 seconds, but it's starting to boot after estimated 5 seconds.
I'm actually not at home, I'll try it in few hours.
Thanks so far.
Do I need to wipe and then flash? and which ROM can you suggest?
Gesendet von meinem Desire HD mit Tapatalk
Just press and hold the End call button after turning it on.
And yeh, always do a wipe (Wipe Data and Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache only) if you are going to flash a new rom. But do not delete your SD files like music etc
and i can recommend - HyperDroids CM7 Rom - based on Android 2.3.7 because im using it by myself. Absolutly no problems hereto check the links in my sig.
Have fun!
BTW:
The problem for not booting up might could be a too small Recovery Layout. Most Roms require a 150MB system partition and 5MB cache partition. Just check this out in the Rom's Thread there should be always a info to-
I guess I'm not at that point yet
I just flashed CWM and then flashed a ROM, which was to install via 5. USB Flasher and some sort of installer on PC - before I tried to install a ROM via CMW and that didn't work.
Well, now I have a ROM on it, SU is on it as well but I don't have root access.
Looks like a pretty old ROM. Froyo 2.2 with HTC Sense 2.1.
But my question now is: How to gain root and if I've done that, can I just flash a different rom (for example the one you suggested) via CWM?
I'm happy, that I have Android on it now but I'd like to have Gingerbread.
(The ROM on it is named DFT_Android and is to be installed via an executable DAF.exe while the device is on point 5 USB Flasher)
And if I can't flash ROMs on CWM, is there a newer ROM which is to be installed like my current one?
and by the way: Thank you very much, your solutions made it work for me
I'll try to flash the ROM you named tomorrow with their instruction of a clean installation

First of all the DFT stock leo is an old and outdated ROM with no root access. Android 2.2 with Sense 2.0 is still very fast, just outdated. And the lack of root is the killer for me.
Secondly, CWM is definitely the way forward, you won't be able to do much without it.
Thirdly, which partition size did you use (first time around)? Too small a partition could cause issues (all of which are of course correctable) so you may want want to check this. As said in the post above, many CM7 ROMs require a 150Mb partition.
If you want a full guide which enables you to flash Android via CWM, see this guide
I'm not sure, but I think I took 150mb. Well, if I flash another rom, I'll just make it 150mb, if it isn't
If I flash a ROM via CWM will I have root on it? Stock ROM has Superuser, but obviously not really useful, maybe because it's outdated, iono...
Another thing is that I only have a 1 GB microSD for the HD2.
Would a bigger microSD be recommended?
I see that now on this old stock rom that a bigger microSD would make sense, since I'm very limited in the number of apps I can install.

Although not necessary, I would definitely recommend a bigger MicroSD. I have a 16GB one on which I can store tonnes of apps, as much music as I want (but I still need all of it for when I'm bored) and plenty of other stuff I may want.
As for the root question, you were unfortunate enough to pick the only ROM in the NAND development section to come without root Everything else has root permissions
Those nand roms are mostly using app2sd or data2sd (think sense roms only) which require an ext3 or 4 partition on your sd (this can all be done with cwm). So 512mb ext partition should be fine for lots of apps. So imo 1gb is enough if you dont want to store lots of music, movies, other roms and 900 backuped apps ;d

Thanks guys, now I have cyanogen on the hd2 with root...well, battery life sucks, but I really didn't expect something else and since it's not my main smartphone,I can easily live with that

I need someone to install a Rom for me.

Alright. Weird question.
So my iocean is at the factory to get its screen repaired, is now went back to using my HD2 with the dreaded broken power button.
Managed to find a way around this by using the volume to wake and a notification for screen off.
But the problem is the following.
When i install a new rom, the touchscreen would not work in Aroma. Which means i can only install roms without too many options, by using the home and green start call key to continually press next and so finalizing the setup.
I have had great a lot of trouble finding a rom that could do this. I have found the new official MIUI rom, but that would not let me configure my google account. Now i am using a ICS rom, which is just teribbly slow.
I really like the Nexus rom series, so naturally i want to try the new kitkat rom (http://androidforum.tytung.com/nexushd2-kitkat-cm11-0-t230.html
But the rom has options for a full install, or one where you can choose the apps you want.
I can't select any of these options, therefore i was not able to install the rom.
I did try to remove the bit where you can select the options from the aroma installer, but no dice.
So my question is, would someone be able to install a full install on NativeSD of this rom for me, then make a clockworkmod backup out of it so i can install that? Or if someone could explain me how to install the rom perhaps without the aroma GUI then that would be great too.
Well No Problem ...
