Develop Bugs

preferred rom?

I see the bonsai and the viper are the 2 most common ones? (I based it off the replies to the threads lol)
just a new rooter looking for a good rom.
anyone have any advantages over another?
one thing I'd like is speed, battery life and a gps fix. obviously stable is good too
thanks!
oh, and ease of install is a big plus too
i just loaded up clockwork now.

try this rom, its the fastest

Is there any way to put up like a warning screen that only DEVELOPERS should be posting new threads in the development forum? Like when you click new topic something pops up and makes you do something annoying that forces the user to actually read that their inane question does not belong in the development section?

well I was directed here for root related questions so...
you realize it's probably setup like this, because it wasn't intended for developers to post new threads only right?

NO you are WRONG! Seriously this is getting old! Read the forum rules before you post! Post in the GENERAL section!
Mods please get rid of this!

so where should I post my root questions? in general?
I understand I shouldn't start threads here, so a place to ask my questions would be nice. I was told general is not for root questions
thanks

Dont say that... we try to help everyone we can, and we try to make the Rom better for YOU. I normally keep my nose out of things but this is going to far. Say what you want about the Rom or me, but our team tries really hard for YOU. They're good guys.

Agreed, your ROM is amazing. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is the design of the user interface and notification bar...the gradients are too harsh and it doesn't blend well. Keep up the awesome work, just please try to improve that a little bit
Also if you're ever in need of someone to help out with designing the UI, I'm down.

[Q] Differences between Fresh Evo and Sprint Lover's?

I've used both ROMs and they're awesome, stable, and fast. Beyond a few differences, though, nothing really different sticks out to me except that Fresh doesn't use the Sense launcher.

You are not going to get flamed because you are not asking which one is better, you are going to get flamed for posting this in development, and it is your first post? You indeed are asking a question so this belongs in the forum called Q&A, it has nothing to do with development. Mods, please move.

Sprint Lovers
For the most part both are quick and work fairly seamlessly. I prefer Sprint Lovers personally but that's me. I think as a whole it works smoother, but that's an aesthetic thing. Both give you what you want out of a custom rom, wifi tethering and all that. Fresh has issues with clockworkmod recovery though, need AmonRA in order to use properly. Personally this irritates me but I don't really see it as a problem. The one nice thing I found in Fresh that came with it automatically was the file manager it provides however all you need is ASTRO with Sprint Lovers and you're good to go. Fresh is more customizable for the average user I suppose but if you are comfortable with adb and SDK then you should be able to customize on your own anyway (look into themeing and how it's done properly before you attempt to do anything and by all means don't mess with .9 files unless you have an understanding of how they work) Other than these issues I didn't find any major differences but have my preference as you can tell. Try some others out too though, some people like Cyanogen's stuff. Good luck.

let's reopen by moving back to general thread see how we do.. I think the desire s port had the most working I.e. GPS etc.. we should start with a port.. a work on one at a time.. wifi is the biggest need it seems for most
Sent from my HTC Glacier using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

So....what is the purpose of this thread?

to figure out how to get the ball rolling in an organized way again.. I pm'd mars who ported desire s to see if we can start there again.. I don't know if he can or will use this for his port.. or if we go back to the general thread... I just think to much progress was being made to shut down..

The mods obviously disagreed, so what makes you think starting another thread in the development section was a good idea?
The dev section is for posting actual software...ROMs, kernels, recoveries, etc. Not for discussions. That's what the General section is for.

well for starters...
WHY IS THIS IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION????
btw, ever think of WHY so many devs are leaving and giving up? maybe it's because people like you are spamming the dev section and the rom threads with random garbage.

i really really hate it how the ICS development ended... i just hope it will come back soon.
thanks everyone for all the your hard work

I do have an idea. IDK if you'd agree on this but heres my idea:
All developers from the Desire S, MT4G, Desire HD need to come together to work on ICS. Things would get done faster and we'd basically have the same builds but the developers would independently work on drivers and such alone unless they want to work on 3 devices completely.
I'm just saying this because then the work could get done much faster with developers pulling together. The only other option seems to create additional threads like some others have with different ports but make them completely separate. I do agree that many builds should not be posted within 1 thread. However, I do not agree we should only have 1 thread on ICS. I also agree that people shouldn't be asking the same questions over and over. We could possibly develop some kind of bug reporting policy. The devs could use our help and by us reporting the bugs and making logcats we can further help the developing along faster.

What happened was people couldn't wait one damn minute for a upload and couldn't read what was posted a page back. It was disrespectful. Try doing that on any other thread. It would've came if people just had patients. People have lives outside of xda. (Jobs) Hopefully next time it won't be like that. I'm gonna go on cm7 and post a port of cm9 because they are taking too damn long...get it?

Every freaking comment was about the stupid wifi issue, a person didn't need to read more than 3 posts up to know that was an issue. Some peoples kids I tell ya! Read at least the last few pages and get a.decent feel for how the rom is, and if you want a stable rom...then you probly shouldn't flash a BETA rom geesh

What happened to the MIUI v4 ICS for the HTC EVO 4G

There was a thread for the ICS MIUI v4 in the Dev section, What happened to it?

Check out the original miui thread in the dev section. Swiperat has been listing some ics miui alphas in there.
Don't forget to hit the thanx button :thumbup:
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

What happened is that when the OP wrote that he thanks the devs that created the ROM, apparently it wasn't enough for some whiny crybabaies that don't understand the concept of open source and didn't have their ego's stroked enough, so they threw little-girl tantrums and got it taken down.

Too bad. I grabbed and flashed. Not a huge fan of miui, but this is the good.

It's too bad, it ran pretty stable for me. Think ill go over to the ns4g section and remove my thanks I left.
I guess I understand where they where coming from, I mean how hard is it to pm some one and ask for permission first, but damn. Atleast he linked to their thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Pwermission?? That's like asking God's permission to share water.
The OP posted that it wasn't his and said "thanks to the great devs that put this together" with a link to the original thread.
It's stupid.
Anyone that supports this should be on a list of opponents to Open Source

you hit the nail on the head hipkat. kind of sounds like an apple or microsoft fit huh. I could understand if he was posting it as his work.

I completely agree with you about having to ask permission for porting a rom. One of the lasts posts in the thread was from one of the devs who had made the original rom for the ns4g.
He mentioned asking permission as a matter of curteousy. He even said that he would have told him to go ahead. Pretty ****ed up if after saying that they went and had the thread closed.

Exactly!!!! Maybe he should have just named names so the original Devs could flaunt to the world that they got credit for something....

Maybe you guys should search Google for "frankinrom," then you'll find a great miui pics beta. Don't forget to thank.

Advice on choosing a bare bones ROM

I'm setting up a DInc2 for my technically challenged mother. I'd like to install a ROM that is easy to understand and straight forward. But my biggest concern is that the ROM be extremely de-bloated and very stable. I would appreciate recommendations as to which custom ROMs would be best suited given these parameters.
Thanks in advance!

We would all appreciate a post in the right section. How come no one reads the rules when they sign up?? Maybe I'm weird, but I thought that was just a common thing.
To answer your question, go with cm7. Its super light weight, and can't really go wrong with it.

Should this rather have been posted in the General section? Since this involves custom ROMs I figured this was the place, but I'll be glad to abandon this and ask in the General section if that is appropriate.
In any event, thanks for the recommendation.
