[Q] Rom Questions?

OK, OK before anyone starts flaming me and saying read honestly it's too much to read I work and have a family and cant read 1,000 post threads to get my answer.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way let's start with what i'm looking for.
I want a rom that has mostly all the stock things like sprint nav, sprint zone, gtalk, sprint football, flashlight, fm radio etc...... Most of the stock goodies or at least an option to install what i want to install from the stock apps.
Also I want a functioning 4g, 3g and possibly a free hotspot app if not no big deal. I dont want a rom where major things (or mostly anything) is broken.
Now hears the hard part which would prob bring the flame, and please be gentle guys for example virus rom looks like it has some goodies, mikfroyo, and one i really like is myn's warm two point two.
With that said i need to have my phone work not halfway working but fully working web, calls, etc.......
Is it possible to have the best of both worlds with these roms fully functionality with the beautiful customization or is it impossible.
I want opinions or experiences or suggestions and please if your not gonna help my cause you dont have to post.
Thanks in advance to all who help in any way they can

I don't know what your idea of halfway working is, because pretty much all sense roms (besides Desire HD and Desire Z) here have everything working... Myn's is no exception. If you like the way his rom looks, use it. The only roms with outstanding issues (4g and hdmi) are aosp based roms (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, LiquidE). Hope this helps.
FYI, there is a Q&A (questions and answers) section, where this post would belong

semi new
I'm semi new to the android seen but I have used all of the following:
Myn's TwoPointTow
MIUI
Synergy
Virus AirBourne
CM6
Ava-FroyoV9
Frost
Fresh
Out of all of them my personal favorite is Ava-FroyoV9. It does everything I want with no problems what so ever and has a nice look to it also.
Again, just my opinion.

Using virus anthrax and its my favorite so far . Miui looked cool but buggy. And know 4 g. Avav9 was also great myn as well.Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

You don't have to read a 1000 pages to get this info..
the Dev's have all the info your looking for in the first post of their rom threads.
They say wether or not something works or not.. and if it has the stock apps your looking for.. and MOST of them give you the .APKs to install the stock apps after if you want them on you SD card after install..
Simple as that..
Simple rules of thumb:
if its a Sense based rom, everything works.. (Desire based sense roms excluded)
if its a ASOP based rom, no HDMI or 4G yet.
and Almost all of them have the wifi-tether program install by default for hotspot. If not its EASILY installable..
and to avoid flaming wear a fire proof suit. (q&a section, there are no stupid questions there)

Azrael best Rom if u ask me

I personally like xxbabiboixx and virus anthrax ROM.. just a matter of style.

If your looking for a basic stock sense with wi-fi tether and a few light mods this is a great ROM: "Sprint Lovers ROM"

hahaha. lol. this is hilarious. cause i have kids, wife and a job also and just like CheesyNutz i was able to find all the information i needed by putting the time in to search for what i needed to find. it also didnt take reading 1000's of post's. but that is beyod the point...... oh wait no it is the point. he knew that he was going to get flamed for not wanting to search the forum for the info he needed. instead he just went ahead and started yet another thread asking the same question asked in other threads. maybe that is why you have to read 1000's of post's.
Okay with that being said...... I personally like AZRAEL rom and the stock sprint apk's are included in a folder that is added to the sdcard when you install the rom.

Little nevous so I have to ask.

I am thinking about rooting using unrevoked 3. I am pretty sure that is strait forward. After that I should install titanium back up and do a nand back up? Then after that I should be able to delete the sense apk and htc lock apk screen and it should be stock vanilla 2.2 right. If I want to restore for a OTA can I just use the nand backup?
Then if I want to try flashing Roms what should I do? Is the Rom manager app all I need?

I usually try to ignore these threads but jesus man read a lill first

OK.
First, wrong section. This should be in Q&A whether anyone responds to it there or not.
Second, Titanium doesn't do NAND backups. That's a job for the recovery.
Third, deleting two apks will not make the ROM "vanilla". It will only mess things up and ruin your experience. If you want "vanilla", there are plenty of AOSP ROMs you can flash after you root.
Fourth, you don't do OTAs after you're rooted. It would unroot you, and you'd have to start all over, and there's no guarantee there would be root available for the new OTA. You should just stick to flashing rooted stock ROMs.
Fifth, I would personally advise against ROM Manager and tell you to learn to do it manually. It's not difficult at all, just a matter of learning a specific sequence of simple steps.
I think that about covers everything. I'm sure someone else will fill in the pieces I've missed.

You should probably do some more reading. Titanium back up only backs up apps. If you want a nand back up you do it through recovery. Deleting that stuff does not make it vanilla lol. If you want a vanilla build run a AOSP rom. I don't use Rom manager it crap I flash manually

Please post your source codes along with the ROM/APP/Development you are doing in this thread.
if not then you realize this is not in the right section. not to be rude but its pretty straight forward with the unrevoked..dont be a ***** and just do it. Otherwise just leave your phone alone.
THIS MIGHT HELP YOU
http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/a-reminder-from-the-xda-moderator-team/

Google is your friend, learn to use it. Also not trying to scare you, but you could get stuck in bootloops so its better to read everything first then try flashing something.
Your post shows that you are completely clueless, so I really recommend that you read and research before you even attempt to do anything to your device.
Google the following:
1) how to root android
2) how to install custom roms
3) how to use Titanium backup
4) Difference between ASOP and Sense
5) Search in this forum "How to unroot your Evo in two easy steps" if you dont understand or cant follow the instructions there, you may want to reconsider rooting your device. Since if something goes wrong, you will need to unroot the device before taking it to Sprint, etc.
Also dont get offended by these comments because XDA isnt usually like this. But when its very clear that a member hasn't done any research, and expects to be spoonfed all the info, you will get flamed.
How did OP even start this thread in this section? He only has 5 posts... Did the rules change?

wow, my mistake. I'll just stick to Android central.

The reason you got the response you did is because you posted in the wrong section. Whike I know you are new to the forum out is always a good idea you read the stickies on any forum you visit.
Tons of new people make the same mistake.i wouldn't let it turn you of but use it as a learning experience.
Xda is an amazing forum (if you are willing to take the time to search post in correct places and do a little work yourself by researching.)
If you aren't willing to do those things then you will find it a cold unfriendly place.
Fort better or worse it is not always newbie friendly. On the plus most of the major developers are here so once you learn you have tons of resources.

As others have stated previous, irritation arose due to posting in the wrong section (initially) and coming to the table without having first exhausted all resources outside making a new thread (see: Google, searching XDA, other forums, YouTube, even).
There are many guides to help you out there, many on these forums specifically. As one other said previously, as well, don't let this shown irritation from other users discourage you from using these forums. XDA is, by far, the best place regarding the rooting, flashing, development, and customization of our phones. You would be wise to stick around and learn the ropes a bit.
Next time, if you have a question, try posting what you did in the body, explaining what research you have done and what did or didn't work before you decided to post a new thread. This will help others see that you have indeed looked around some and tried some things out instead of rushing to post a new thread without seeing if your question(s) was/were already answered.
Overall, your experience can be very good and you can learn a lot from these forums. I'm still pretty new myself, but I visit these forums every single day and read up on things and just take it all in.
Have fun with everything! If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to help. But do some research before, if you do!

I would suggest reading and asking lots of questions and reading and asking lots of questions and reading and asking lots of questions before doing anything to your phone....
I think all of these responses would make me a little nervous as well...

EndlessDissent -
I have found Rom Manager to be quick and painless, why would you advise against using it?
fyi - I use it w/clockwork recovery instead of Amon-RA. And have downgraded it because of some kind of edify scripting problems. is this less than optimal?

Ok I think I have read all I can and watched all the youtube videos I can handle. It looks pretty strait forward and seems to be easier that the palm pre.
Now can anyone recommend a GB Rom? I would love a pure nexus s expirence. I plan to get it when it comes out.

I would recommend CM7, but some would say no cuz of weird instances that happened to a couple people. Evervolv, Salvage, king's ultra, and miui all have gingerbread though.

I second CM7. There are thousands of users, thus lots of potential help. It is a ROM that has been for awhile and they have really worked out quite a good percentage of the bugs that will inevitably come with any GB ROM.
Flash CM7 and get a good feel for it before you start hopping ROMs. Also do yourself a favor and make sure you use the search button liberally before you post questions/issues in the CM7 threads and provide some info on what you did to resolve your issues (you will have issues). If you do that the chances you'll get help rather than flames goes up 10,000%.
I would strongly recommend against MIUI. It is unquestionably the best ROM I have ever used, but it is really not a good ROM for an EVO rookie. The quirks in the flashing process are plentiful and the preciseness required by the nature of the ROM will suit you much better a month from now.
I'm sure there will be people who disagree with me, but I help people everyday who would not have needed help if they had learned a little more about the process on a more basic ROM with lot's of support and fewer bells and whistles. Just my two cents.
The options in teh roxxorz's post are good options as well.

Weekly ICS ROM Updates

Hi all,
I am going through all the threads that have ics based roms for our phone and thought it might be a good idea if we had a communal collation of all ics roms that are active in this forum with provided chainlogs and small reviews of said rom and what issues they have.
Reason for this is simple, to help other users that are not confident in flashing up to 4.0.3 unaware that they may run into something that they did not bargain for.. Hopefully this way we
A) Get a general run down each week as to what rom is working well which are not.
B) Issues/bugs.
C) Reviews of what works and not.
D) Temp fixable issues ie: auto rotation.
E) May help in less clutter in actual development thread.
I thought I would put this out see if anyone agrees here. I am more than welcome that if we use this thread as a starting point.
In no way shape or form that this thread will be used as a means of competitiveness between devs, to start flaming in any sort of fashion, this is purely a thread designed to help everyone with ics progression where its at, what dev's are up too and which would be safe to flash and what is not and is for experimental use.
Hopefully this could be a useful thread, with the dev's permission in doing this of course
Cheers.

I like the idea

+1 to this idea!!

There are already Q&A threads for each of the ROM's. Why make the board more cluttered than it already is by re-posting what is already in those threads?
People need to learn to use the search function and stop being lazy and actually take the time to read a thread every now and then. A thread like this will do nothing but enable the lazy to be even less productive and will not help. You will just see the same questions asked here over and over and over and over and over just like in all the other threads.
Also if people would read a damn OP like they are supposed to before flashing a ROM they would already know what does and doesn't work and if the ROM is a RC or experimental.

Valued response, and yes using the search tool does help, but. rather than searching for what is needed why don't we have one thread to sum up on all progression? This thread is not designed to have countless questions all this is to gather weekly updates on ics roms from there respected developer. If someone wanted to ask questions they should be directed to the respected Q&A thread as they have there own. If someone wishes to choose to read up on what is happening in the world of ics t989 development then they come here nothing more nothing less.
As this wouldn't be hard to do at every week commencing someone can be anyone can choose to post up any sort of update to any rom and that is valid for that week only... then make up another thread so for example this one wouldn't spiral out of control and inform a mod to delete or close thread... simple that way it would stay fresh relevant with what we want to know, and of course anyone can participate in this.
Again thanks for your input, I'm not saying this is what we should be doing but a suggestion to everyone and see if this would make life a little easier on some. Alternatively if you don't like it then don't post anything worth mentioning and leave for people who could benefit from it
Cheers.

To replace my battery and my camera since it force closes, I use QuickPic as my gallery and Camera zoom FX Pro as my camera. They work pretty well with some minor set backs.

Echo?
Are there any ICS ROMs that do not have an echo????

It seems to be an issue with the flashing process as far as echo goes...easy does it, my DD has no echo...actually while many people have reported that among other bugs the only one I have is the reboot hang...which really...tough **** I have to hold the power button down the few times I need to turn it off lol. Oddly though it does not hang if I reboot into recovery from rom manager.
Ics is really weird...everyone is getting different bugs following the same install process. I'm guessing some of our devices are more willing to adapt to the skyrocket kernel than others...

Guess you got the one with the magic bean.

Well before I went on vacation Tuesday I was playing around with a few of the different ics that are there for tmo gs2 and found that a lot of issues went away when I unmounted the SD card. The camera had no problem and I didn't notice any echoed sound. Kind of strange but one thing I noticed that a lot of native ics devices don't have external SD cards. Might be something for devs to look at.

Rather than start another thread, while perusing the amaze forum I stumbled.upon info on CM9..
According to this https://plus.google.com/106544349933037831956/posts/4Lpyw9bPBCq
Which is the Google+ page of the dev in charge of maintaining CM9 on the amaze, no cyanogen dev is currently.working on our device. Sad to see but figured I'd share for those ccurious

CM10 Rom Help

I have been trying to figure out two things with this ROM that perhaps someone can point in the right direction on:
1. WI-FI tether seems to be inconsistent, slow or not useable when tethered to my New Ipad compared to the speed I get directly to my phone. Not looking for exact same speed, just basic functionality. Is there any special settings I need to configure to make it work better?
2. Gmail - Why can't I email out to my gmail groups? I used to be able to when it was stock and even rooted...a basic function that I need multpile times daily and REALLY need a work around fast.
Thanks a ton!

You should try the CM10 thread or Q&A.

I would love to but don't know where that is at.
Thanks

Posting something once in the wrong location. Okay sure no problem... but posting it TWICE one after another, in the same wrong location... come on...
And then, trying to placate your ignorance by giving some BS excuse about not knowing where it's at...? If you have the ROM and have it installed, you've obviously been around enough to know how to go about getting it which would incidentally make it equally as possible that you could find where it's at.
It's quite obvious that you posted here because you thought it was going to get "more attention."
I refuse to condone these actions, and thus I will not help you. Good luck to you, sir.

[MK5][STOCK][ODEXED/DEODEXED] Removable Apps??

Hey guys I was wondering which apps were safe to remove from this rom. I am using the [ROM][MK5][STOCK][ODEXED/DEODEXED]- Virgin Mobile/Boost Mobile rom on my Boost Mobile phone. Dunno if that matter or not but figured I'd share that info lol.

Why are you creating a thread to post questions like this in a Development forum when we have a Q&A forum?
Not to mention that your question has been answered numerous times in numerous forums.
Thread moved.

A lil less attitude please thanks. No need to come off as brash as you are. I went through 15 pages worth of posts back to Late October to see. I am using the MK5 4.3 Stock Deodexed Rom. As such There are no posts referring to removal of apps from that particular rom. Simple mistake and misunderstanding is all.

That's my build, so here's a good place to start....if you flashed the Knox App Remover, those are gone as well...so do a backup(good habit when you start deleting apps), and go to town on this list... Enjoy
