Hey everyone, I just rooted my device and was looking for a custom rom and was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions. I know all the roms offer something a little different depending on what the user is looking for, and was looking for a rom that had all the bloatware removed, optimized for performance and battery life, and maybe have a coll updated ui. Im looking forward to your suggestions
Also,since i just rooted it do i need to flash the radio before or after i put on a custom rom(or do i need to do before and after)
also.also, i backed up my system using titanium backup right before i rooted it, will this allow me to put back all the apps i downloaded on my new rom? if so, how do i do this.

Read the rom threads and this does not belong in this section. Ask in the Q and A forum
I installed fresh .3 and my battery dies in 2 hours without having even been used.
Probably not fresh's fault but just saying.

hello all. this is my first time ever setting foot in the incredible threads. im currently a roooted eris user, but recently upgrading to the incredible due to eris's limitations. i should be recieving one in the mail today hopefully. i have a few quick questions for you guys and im hoping i can get answers today or at least before i start rooting my phone.
1) can titanium backup restore all my apps + data and configurations, that were backed up on my eris without any issues?
2) which rom is the best so far? i was enjoying cm 6.0 port on my eris but i prefer sense now because im not much of a fan of stock vanilla look.
I do enjoy the 360 degree rotation and was wondering if anyone has created a sense based rom with that particular feature or does cyanogen have a monopoly on that one?
3) does metamorph work on the incredible? and are these roms available now currently themable
4) which is the most preferred kernel? ive read so far about hydra kernel and kingx, what are the advantages each have over the other
5) in case of a necessary warranty exchange attempt, is there an ota based ruu rom available to restore the original bootloader? in other words is it unrootable as of yet? (eris users are currently able to do this.)
Oh and i forgot to ask.
6) is the 2.2 ota released for upgrade or are the 2.2 roms available right now leaks?

1) Most likely not, while just restoring apps should work, apps+data may bring about problems because they are different phones. don't quote me tho. (My advice make a nandroid before you restore apps+data then if you get FC'cs you'll see something went wrong and can go back)
2) The most popular ROM on this forum seems to be Skyraider, it has both a sense and vanilla version. There are 3 more fairly popular ones on ROM manager, I advise you to test them all out they all have their own flair.
3) Yes, check out the theme's section for more info on that.
4) Both kernels work well, it's all a matter of what you're happiest with. I'm not sure of the specific differences of both tho, so maybe someone else can answer that.
5) If you use Unrevoked3 you can RUU back to stock yes. If you use Unrevoked forever (which is S-off) there is currently no way to get S-on. So you would just have to hope if you turned it in for warranty that the guy didnt check the bootloader.
6) Most 2.2 ROM's right now are based off a leak released here on 8/1/2010. There is no official 2.2 release for the Incredible.

I am rooting my 2.2 phone tonight and all I want to do is get rid of the damn 30fps cap, remove bloatware and keep everything else pretty much stock. Is it possible to load a custom kernel when using a stock rom or do I need to use a custom rom as well? I really like how sense integrates facebook into the contacts and don't want to lose that.
Also, any kernel/rom recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I have an 003 evo with a Novatek screen.

Most custom kernels work with any ROM, as long as they are for the same build! I put emphasis on this because if you use the wrong ROM/Kernel/Radio combo, you could brick your phone. So do so very carefully. Only use a kernel/radio if it is built for a specific build number.
So I need to find a kernel that is for the 3.26.651.6 build that I want to install? Do you know which kernel will work?
I've had good luck with netarchy's kernels(currently using v4.18). You can find them in the dev section. Using a stock ROM here.

i just flashed this today, so far i'm pretty impressed and liking it, especially since i'm also using Netarchy's HTC OTA froyo final build, both work perfect together so far, i've seen my fps so far bounce to 47fps, lol, sweet.
Thanks for the input guys. I used netarchy's kernel with the rooted 2.2 rom that got installed during the 2.2 root process. It works great and looks awesome, it's so smooth.
New To rooting and all
Hello Everyone;
I have a Droid X running stock ROM version 2.2 I have rooted to remove bloatware but have not done much else. I am interested in using setcpu but do not want to do so unless I can monitor CPU temp. I am wondering where to find the kernel for this, what is it called, and how do I install it step-by-step.
Sorry if this has already been answered but I have been searching for quite some time and can not seem to find the answer.
Thanks For the help.

Does anyone have the most recently updated ROM, that is still stock and rooted?
Just looking for something that is really stable and has as good battery life as the most recently updated stock ROM.
Also, I want an "as close to stock" rooted ROM as possible to play with making my own ROM. Any recommendations on how to get started?
Already did a search and couldn't find any recent Evo rooted stock roms. :/
Thanks!

I bought an S3 ( i747 with some ATT bloatware on it) on ebay and it came rooted with " Lidroid Mod ( ported by Wanam)"
I am getting ads in the notifications bar and a icon( "get apps" on my homepage keeps on popping back up everytime I delete it.
Can some kind soul give me some basic information:
Can I unroot and return to the original configuration and be ablt to recieve updates to Android
OR
suggest another very stable ROM. I am a simple user so I don't really need fancy mods.
Note: It came with SuperSU and AdvanceS loaded

You can unroot and move back to stock, and I recommend you do that first. Only reason for me would be to completely reset the phone as if you have gotten it the first time. From then on, I would root and play around with this device.
Here is an instruction for you to get started (to unroot):

or
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/
After unrooted, simply factory reset your phone so your phone is brand new

If you want to root (and get custom recovery) then follow these instructions:

For roms there are a lot of stable roms, the question is what roms suit you?
If you want pure AOSP builds or something close to that, I suggest CM10.1 (OR soon to be CM 10.2) or Task650's AOKP. I'm actually using Task650's AOKP rom right now, and it's VERY stable. Smooth as well. Battery life is Okay, similar to stock.
CM10.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778270
Task650's AOKP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
If you want TouchWiz features but you also want an AOSP experience then check out Dandroid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121506&highlight=multi+window
There are more great roms but I'm lazy to add more lol
Thank you very much
I will give this a try on the weekend
I looked into your suggestions for ROMs and in the threads for them it seems that there are bugs or dev support issues that make me want something more reliable.
Is there a way that I can load a Stock ROM and selectivley eliminate the bloatware?
I have an i747M 32GB

Check out mrRobinson's debloater here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732039
Grab one of the stock firmware downloads and root it and make sure to install CWM recovery. Then use the debloater - he has instructions in the thread.

Thanks guys, I now have a rooted phone with a stock ROM that is deblaoted. ( I would have prefer that mu ebay special unknowingly didn't arrive rooted with suspicious software, but I made the best of it).
Thanks again
I successfully rooted MM following all the how to's! What i am looking for is a debloater app? or at least a list of what can be disabled/removed. or a debloated stock 6.0.1 rom?
If one doesn't exist yet, thats not problem, just tired of all the "crap" on these Roms....

Hey I'm trying to do the same thing. Did you figure this out?
My battery was great after I rooted and installed the PaulPizz Rom, but now I reverted back to Stock so I have pass SafetyNet. The battery is not as good as it was before. There are many new wakelocks and even regulating them doesent seem to stop them. I assume this is due to the bloatware that the Stock setup comes with.
Any relevant insight?
Thanks!

If your running a stock rom you might like my rom. It's a stock rom that passes magisk and has extra features included. Modest Rom link
For debloating, I have a script available that will work on any stock rom. You can run the script per the instructions here or just view it and delete the manually with a root explorer. Either way, I would suggest taking a look at it so you can remove any of the apps that you may want to keep.
