Hi, me too! It's great to see people still using and especially supporting this phone. I've used Cyanogenmod from the official site for a while and have been testing out different roms on here. It's fun!
Edit: Still figuring out the forums, ha.

Welcome! I assume you mean that you used to use CM back when they used to support us, correct? Because they don't do official builds for us anymore...

Yeah, too bad. I used 10.1.3 I think it was for a while. Over the last month or so I've tried a few out here on the boards. The unofficial CM11 is really nice but eats my battery away. I was using one from August, then upgraded last week to the October one and it was much bugier. Right now I'm using SlimKat... I think I like CM better overall but SlimKat is really nice. I've run into a few bugs, the Menu/Home/Back/Search buttons won't light on notification. That's the one feature that seems not to work that I really miss.. But SlimKat is nice enough and gives me twice the battery life as the unofficial CM11.

Ooh, I didn't know anyone was going to do a Lollipop ROM. That's exciting, thanks! Also never heard of CyanFox, I'll have to check that out. I really hope there's a SlimPop (or whatever they call it) ROM for our phone... I'm really loving the performance and battery life on this.
Also, if anyone could help me out... what effect battery life? Is it mostly the apps and base system, or can the kernel itself be a big part of it?

Eye opener thread MIUI have you tried it??

Now I have flashed every rom that can be flashed since flashing for the epic has started and I must say I feel like an idiot never having flashed MIUI ROM... So sunday I flashed it and I must say there is so many fantastic things about it. the breakdown in battery use through the use of its own built in settings!
from launcher customization and speed again through its own settings... there is a lot more id like to discuss I think you should try it for yourself!
check out the youtube vids for yourself if you don't believe me! it has soo much potential in its current ALPHA state for our epics........
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952615
I think we should all try MIUI I think development is slowing down in general and not just in MIUI... for all epic roms I miss the constant checking everyday and not being dissapointed cause no update was posted on my current rom or others for that matter
I think the MIUI thread is dieing and well I am a new user to MIUI and I wish another dev could help out it is a fantastic ROM and even with the call bug from the CM6-7 bug where speaker needs to be toggled and the incoming call need to wait like 3 rings before you can pick it up I am sure with a little work these bugs can be fixed. I also wish colorize widget worked with MIUI I guess what I am asking for is for those of you who haven't tried MIUI try it and show your support by reporting bugs on the page for the DEV's
I never gave MIUI the light of day till sunday and by the way I am happy I did battery also is great with MIUI and TWS BUG IS NOT THERE! 2 days standby time in my house and 5% TWS

DUAL BOOT KERNEL FLASH AFTER FLASHING MIUI ROM
http://www.multiupload.com/GTUOUQFMNC
+1! I had tried every other rom except MIUI, untill yesterday. I do have to say though it sure is amazing! I'm not too in love with the launcher & no app drawer, so I'm using lpp, but other then that and a couple bugs, the rom is great! The look and feel is awesome.
I think the reason people aren't trying it as much, is because the thread isn't being updated with a changelog and what not, normal users may look at the title and see last time it was updated was on the 24th of feb (I believe). I know that's a reason I didn't even look in the thread until yesterday, turns out there is someone else workin on it and posting updates on it. You guys should go check it out.

4g
See anything you dont like let us know...Btw i dont know why MIUI-DEV is down but our thread has been down almost an hour...
miui on superAMoLED screen! can't wait for a stable version! I use 4g often these days ever since sprint decided to put a tower in detroit. but when i'm done with school i'll be back home with no 4g, so i'll give it a run then. I hope MMS and bluetooth can be fixed. i'm more sicked for this rom than GB.

Nixo31, I am confused here. I know ahmgsk has been working on MIUI, and you are also. Are you guys working on it together? If not I think you guys should, also maybe ask him if you could take OP of MIUI thread in development until he becomes less busy, Like I stated before, reason people is not giving this a try as much is because the thread is not updated. I think once people seen it was being updated and worked on they would try it more!
Just a thought..

Well the Nexus S 4G comes out in about a week and a half, so that should help too.

Why so many broken roms whats good?

So I would like the latest and greatest, but seems like so many roms being released in dev forum are missing a lot of functionality or broken. The only rom that I ever kept and still am using is called "Koni's Elite" something. Is there a sense 3 rom that has gps,4g,sprint hotspot, gapps etc etc all working? Why do people even release broken stuff in the first place.

The Elite 3 is sweet he is coming out with a Elite 4 be4 long. The latest rom's aren't really broken they are built off the latest OTA leak and some other leaks. So it's all for eye candy and something new for people to mess with.
Until sprint does the OTA update the latest roms that are built off leaks are buggy. They are waiting on sprints OTA to get all the info and fix all the bugs that are in the builds so until then they are just working with what they have.
Try kings rom or CM7 there nice. The Devs do what people wanna have and see and have. They want more eye candy something new even if it's broken or buggy. So there working pretty hard to keep things going.
No there is no sense 3.0 that is out or anything that is built off it that isn't bug free yet.
Hope this helps PM me if you want to know of some other roms that not buggy and are nice.
CM7 is all you need...........
CM7 is great to use waiting till they fix most of the bugs or till the next stable build comes out. If you use CM7 keep it update they had to fix a security issue with the older builds. This is a sweet rom tho. Nice clean.
King's rom out of this world is fast decent battery life.
Virus rom's are nice.
Look in the Dev's list wiki.
Myn's Warm Point 2.2 is sweet
Mik's Rom is fast and looks great.

Go back to stock and stop taking up space in the general forum with questions which should be in the Q&A forum.
Really? These people put in their free time without pay DEVELOPING rom's to work on our phones. That is why it is called development. They release it to us "broken" so we can test it and help them in the development, and because it is fun for us. If it is that much of an inconvenience for you then either don't flash it or develop a ROM yourself that is bug free. These guys work around the clock to try to bring you the latest ROM/leak free of bugs. It is not as easy as you might think.
Lol there are still good roms out there im happy we get to test things without having to pay a big ass feee to try. Since it's free and you can edit it makes it a playground for good stuff to happen oh yea
CM7 is the latest and greatest (AOSP) and is fully functional minus 720p recording.
Tapa tapa tapa

Thanks. That cleared things quite a bit. I will give CM7 a shot bc I can live without 720p recording on a crappy camera. Didnt mean to sound unappreciative of the communities efforts.

Testing complete - SentinelROM

BETA Testing now complete....
ROM will be available in the Development section soon.
Sentinel196 said:
Hi all,
I am the developer of SentinelROM, which is one of the most popular ROMs for Nexus 10, Nexus 7, Nexus 4 and HTC One X.
SentinelROM is compiled by me with modified CyanogenMod 10.1 code (additional tweaks for performance and battery life, as well as some theming). So far the ROM has been very successful.
I've decided to release the ROM for Samsung Galaxy SIII (i9300) also, but I need your help as I don't own a SGSIII to test with.
I am reaching out to anyone who would be willing to flash my test ROM and test a few things for me.
If you're interested, please PM me either here, or via the SentinelROM facebook page. I will reply with a download link and instructions.
I only need a few people for testing, so please don't be offended if I don't get back to you with a download link.
This ROM is for i9300 only at this stage, so please do not reply if you own an i9305 as the ROM will not work on your device.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Everyone, this guy turns out a great ROM. I have Sentinel ROM on my Nexus 4 and it's very, VERY nice. I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the plug mate.
OP updated with a download link so you can get up and running right away.
Looking forward to some feedback so I can launch this ROM
Well i am installing this now will let you know how it goes..
Thanks heaps!
how did you go?
I wish I cud try it too. Any chance for us I9305 users to get this? Maybe later when it gets a good rep on i9300? I know you asked us users to not to reply but I cudnt resist asking

Well everything is working as normal. I played about with the rom it is pretty stable. Everything works, and when i fell asleep unlike cm the battery never drained maybe about 3 percent drain overnight which is great. So the battery life on this rom is excellent. You're good to go with your rom. Sorry for the late reply i installed this around midnight. Used the rom and till about 2am and fell asleep. I am still using it. I must say overall it is a great rom. Thank you very much. I've not yet found a fault but maybe i might find one but that would be cm related.
For a beta rom this is really stable. Onlything maybe it isn't a big problem now but in the ota updater lol it doesn't recognize the device as MO.
Beautiful!!!
I'll credit you in the OP. Thankyou very much!

sentinel rom v 4.5 for gt-i9300
Hello, Sentinel.
First of all I'd like to thank you for this truly amazing rom, there's so many things I can do with my phone and change almost everything I want to within it. I only found 1 issue which may not be an issue at all, I might still be a bit inexperienced with all this modding stuff, but I haven't found a way to overclock or undervolt my phone using your kernel, but I took a risk of using siyah kernel 1.9.1 which is said not to be compatible with 4.2.2 JB and basically all new roms that are out now, but the funny thing is IT DOES WORK! And I think that siyah 1.9.1 kernel and your custom sentinel rom is the best combo ever for my galaxy s3. The battery works great even when I overclock it, it's really stable and never glitching. I can say I'm a heavy consumer, wifi constantly on, and I'm playing psone games with and emulator alot and it still does a pretty decent job. On my next payday I'm definitely donating, buddy. And in a months time when s3 stock 4.2.2 JB will come out, I'd like to see what you can do with that one aswell.
Keep up the great work, best regards, Lietus.

Hi Lietus. I assume you posted this here because you can't post in the ROM thread, so I'll answer you here
My official position on over/underclocking and UV/OV is discussed on my website. Have a browse.
Sorry but it's not something I support in my ROMs. People are alwsys welcome to use other Kernels to unlock these features if they want them.
Looking forward to payday
Hey, this is my first post, you did a really good job with this rom!
Is there any way to disable the fullscreen keyboard feature?
I understand where you're coming from and I totally agree with you if we users want we can make it ourselves using different kernels especially when your ROM is that great and it accepts different types of kernels. And I've got 5 different types of android machines which could use some improvement so if you're interested and have the time to expand your ROMs through those it would be just awesome. Because your ROM is actually the first custom one I've tried, and after a lot of research I can't seem to trust myself with someone else's

KitKat made for low end devices with 512MB

Hello,
XDA and other sites have broken news on new features in KitKat and one of them is that its made for wearable devices with as low as 512MB. Our Desire Z has 512MB so this will be great news Obviously our processor still lacks and GPU drivers are sticks and gum but something is better than nothing.
I was excited to hear this when I first read that about KitKat. I'm quite excited to see if anyone out there is gonna work on a ROM once everything needed to port it over is available.

The team at Cyanogenmod has commented that this wont mean a revivial of old devices since a lot of things (drivers) are needed besides RAM but needless to say in my opinion and seeing what Jelly Bean brought to the table, I think its a good sign of things to come.
Sadly, there are few really active developers on JB/Desire Z. Lets hope someone comes out with a KitKat ROM.
Speaking of KitKat, here is a lot of the stuff ripped from the Nexus 5 ROM, I personally have all of them running on CM10.1 Andromadous (I think that's the right spelling.) Hope it helps people! bit. ly /1arIQCU (via DroidLife)
I would be very surprised if Kit Kat is ported to this wonderful device. The fact that it has been ported anything beyond Ice Cream Sandwich is astonishing already, so whether they support Kit Kat or not I'd still be happy until a true hardware keyboard phone comes out.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I would be really happy to see KitKat ported over. I mean even if it isn't I'd be happy running either CM10.1 or the Gslim 1.6 ROMs, but I hope that since KitKat supports lower ram that it helps performance wise. I'm tempted to try and get into developing roms but I'm quite a newbie when it comes to that.
i hope that somebody make it for our device
I'm a newbie as well when it comes to development, but if i have the time and someone ports 4.4 to a similar device (desire HD perhaps) then i'll definitely attempt to port 4.4 to the g2. I love my old g2, when i had to send my GS3 back do to a defect in the screen I used my g2 for 2 weeks and was still impressed with how snappy it was. So yea, I may end up attempting a 4.4 rom at some point. I'll share it here and perhaps some of the better developers can take it and improve on it

I think it's fantastic, once in a while I'll come across a small little hiccup, but that's expected personally for a port. I would make it my daily driver but I use Gslim as my daily rom only for battery life because not around my charger much, otherwise I'd be running CM10

Oh oh oh, I understand what you meant now. I was still waking up when reading that, I'l use that as an excuse. I'm slowly teaching myself how to port over roms, I'm probably going to end up buying another secondhand G2/Desire Z as a test device so I don't bork the one that I use daily

I can't post in the dev side of the xda here but where can I find the work gits for someone working on cm11.0 for this device I'm trying to get this thing to work again. Also is there a irc room for the group?
I figured the cwm version that built worked with the new set_metadata in the updater-scripts for the 4.3 and up
I would like to help with, (attempt to) coordinate, and start the development efforts for KitKat/CM11 on the G2.
I can beta test, build, and debug/reverse-engineer where needed.
I'm getting a build environment prepared, so it will be a bit until I crank out builds.

Kit Kat

Wouldn't it breathe new life into this wonderful device given the low ram requirements? I hope some of the amazing guys bringing the latest can work their magic and get 4.4 on here.

Pons said he would be working on it. And I am sure that tiny will help a little.

I'm sure we'll see kitkat eventually for the inc. I've been tinkering with it just a bit myself. At this point Evervolv has a kitkat branch for the inc, but it is not in a buildable state. Stuff is still changing so fast that there's not a lot of point in digging into it real deep just yet.
I'm very glad that Google have given the opportunity for low ram devices to Run KitKat.. I hope Pons or Tiny will make KitKat rom very soon..Inc is still breathing !!
CM 11 for HTC Incredible
HTC Incredible "S" have got an unofficial build of CM 11 which gives Android Kitkat ahead of CyanogenMod's official release. Incredible "S" got just a little bit of RAM more than the dinc.. I really hope that some creates a rom for dinc soon... Come on !!

They're not the same SOC so they're not that similar.
Also, this point sounds like begging or on the borderline of demanding. This device is nearly dead. There are nowhere near the resources there used to be.
With that said, the evervolv team is working on KitKat for similar devices. Inc support will probably be added once we can get it building.

Progress is being made. I was able to get it boot and with the current status of Evervolv and a few patches Nexus 1 already have wifi working but no data.

Thats great news !! I hope it will be ready soon !!
Just a heads up. I hope the developers will pay more attention towards the glitchy video Camera and the battery life.. I really hope Kitkat will be out soon..

This is not meant to be rude in any way but please just let them work. There is nothing that devs hate more than questions about release dates and notes on what you think they should be addressing. I'm more than impressed at the simple fact that tiny and pons are considering spending time on this ancient hardware.

Be glad the developers want to still work on ROMs. You could just buy a new phone if you want to not deal with bugs. Battery life is going to be best on this phone on CM7 or Sense. That's how it's going to be. The newer OS'es are a lot more resources intensive just to run things.
While asking is kind of pointless, if this could be made into a reality, a useable one at that, my god that would be awesome. Also, on an unrelated note, do you go to OSU?

Thanks for the update. At this point I'd love it even without data. It's my "tinkering around" device. Wi-Fi only and Bluetooth is all I use it for. Again, thanks for all the hard work you and others out into these devices.

I agree it's kind of a pointless question, but I was excited to see the low device requirements to get it up and running.
I am an Ohio State alum. Graduated from there 5 years ago.
While searching the forum for kit kat, I've found a build for the INC. Android 4.4 KitKat ! Yes ! by musical_chairs. Heres the link -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046220&page=52
Good luck.. I am just downloading the build..
By the way its not the official build !! Official build is yet to come !!
Can anyone find G-apps which will work with this build. I tried out a Gapps from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857 but it didnt work out. :crying:

The KitKat builds are bigger than the previous versions, so there's not much room left in the /system partition.
You'll need the GApps Core from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=9199
The core ones will give you just the basics to save space.
The full GApps won't fit on the small /system partition on our phone with the size of KitKat.
Thanks. So simply all i have is Playstore as an app and other stuff. The rest i will have to download right ? What about Google Experience Launcher (which replaces stock launcher) and other stuff like Google Keyboard ? In the official build will i be able to have the full G-apps ? Just a little clarification needed ? :silly:
So this is not the official release right ? I am really excited about this !! I just tried it out, it is damn snappy and super fast ! Great jobs devs !!
A few small probs i found are the videos are being recorded but is not shown in the gallery, And the external sd card is not shown (and cant access it)
By the way, dont think i am always complaining, i just saw some errors thats it, i hope they will be fixed on the official release..
Job well done Devs !! You gave a new life to my old play around device :highfive:
