Hi,
I really hope you can help...
I'm looking for a fast, stable rom for my P3600 (danish version). I don't think that there is any 6.0/6.1 danish rom out there, so an english would be great.
Sooo... please give me some recommandations. I would like to try it out tonight...

Please, not another "recommend me a ROM" thread!

Not a very usefull answer. Its understandable, that you as an expert regard this as a stupid question, but I simply havent got the time to read through more than 50 pages of posts - sorry.
On the contrary - a link to a page like this would have been usefull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385579
I found it, installed it, and it works brilliant! This could have saved me from hours of reading...

...and still you've learnt from it on your own rather than me or someone else giving you a link to what we like.
We all went through almost every ROM till settling for one. Ones were too [email protected]#, others were too $%^ and so on. The point is that liking a ROM is subjective, many users like speed, others like functionality, others the looks, others prefer memory, others prefer lots of apps, others prefer ballance!
Which one of those are you? Can you answer this question without trying at least one ROM from every category I've listed?
People don't answer to threads like yours for two main reasons:
1. there are plenty similar threads started and people get tired of giving same answers to same questions posted by users who are not willing to use the search function to get the info. Hey, it is always easier to just post and ask, huh?
2. ROMs are subjective like the people who make them, like the people using them. We like sweet, others bitter, some love blondes, others redheads, I like fast ROMs, others app packed. Bottom line: free will! Let the user decide for his ROM/chef of his choice. Plus, reading the ROM thread tells you almost everything about bugs, fixes, tweaks, tips, etc.
There's no bad blood in it, it's just we're too tired of answering a question that has been asked so many times and which can't even be answered!
Hope it's clear now!
P.S.: Thanks, but I'm not even 5% close of being an expert, but I search and read alot!

everybody who came in a forum and need help can have a constructive awnser...
it is true that there is a lot of subject like this one but as he said read 50 page to find an info was very boring...
when i post to find my french rom i was glad to find someone to know where to search in the mess of the forum.
just be nice with noobs because in every noob there is a future senior member lol
...and every month there are new roms, some have new builds, other have just other programs or languages in it ....
so i think it's a good question once in a while. i am lost either...
anyway, here you can find all the roms in a list. (don't know if they're up to date.)

And maybe it wouldn't be so messy, if there wasn't so many threads created just to ask a question that has already been answered in 10 similar threads. Or threads created to ask a question about and issue of a particular ROM, when it should be asked in the ROM thread....
Many situations contribute to the mess you're refering to...
Even the forum search has been enhanced with google search, directly in the forum's search function, but still, it seems to be easier to many users, to just ask instead of searching.
Sometimes a thread is started with something like this:
"I've searched for this but couldn't find it...."
When this happens, search some more, use different keywords, because 95% of the times, the question has already been answered before.
I'm not flaming anyone with this, and I don't have nothing against noobs, as i consider myself one, but please use search, read and then read some more.
Hi everybody,
I wonder why a thread of mine was closed in one of the forums and I really have no idea what I did wrong and even who to ask what and why? (The thread is in the ROM development section of the Topaz forum, concerning cooked ROMs that support handwriting).
Are there seperate admins for each sub-forum and if yes, how can I find them? Or who else can I ask?
thanks & cheers

Any mod will do. You may have either posted warez, links to it/them, instructions on how to get them. Or simply posted in the wrong section altogether.

Thank you for the quick reply. I understand the warez rules and all. But this question... in the ROM development section:
Is there any decent cooked ROM that either supports the official HTC handwriting update for the Topaz or even has it already integrated?

Maybe someone else asked something similar and you are getting penalized for not searching before posting. That is the only other thing that I can think of.
oh dear, if thats the reason, I'm simply to stupid for this forum I searched and poured more than 8 hours yesterday over posts, especially the ROM post, which all have well over 2000 replies. So I know that people are asking about handwriting but the question usually just goes under in the ROM threads....
Nevermind, will post it in the admin question thread where it probably belongs. Owe you a coffee though, let me fix my paypal issues first
Hi tesla33,
Which thread? I'll have a look to see if there was a "closure" reason added. It's possible it may have inadvertently been closed during Spam cleanup by a mod that had multiple browser session/tabs open.
Cheers,

More than likely it was closed because it has nothing to do with rom development. The rom development forum is not the place to ask for specific roms or features. It should have been asked in the general forum.
The Mod should have given you the courtesy of moving it for you or at the very least a short explanation. I have from day one, had a problem with the quick unexplained trigger finger of many mods on this forum. A little common courtesy would be nice.
@denco7:
Agreed. Going to "chalk" it up to an honest mistake made by the moderator who closed it (not me).
@tesla33:
I've re-opened the thread and moved it to the General section. I see no reason why the question can't be asked . The Admins are working on the Search function of late to see about improving it ... cause at the moment, I've found needles in haystacks far sooner than answers.

As far as the searching, once you are in a thread that you think may have some relevant information for you, you will see a button that reads "Search This Thread". Simply put in your search parameters and choose to get "posts" for results. This will make it a lot simpler than going through 2000+ posts.
As far as the transcriber, there are cabs out there since lots of Chefs actually leave this option out due to lack of space in the rom. Let me know if you need help finding the cab.

Thank you, thank you and thank you
Again, I'm not complaining. I was actually considering where to put it and thought "hhmm, I'm asking about custom ROMs wit a certain capability, so better put it in the ROMs sections"
I understand how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a forum of this size and activity (I was once a Diablo2 Battlenet Mod ) and I appreciate the work you all put in there. I probably wouldnt have made this thread if it was my 400th post... after a while you get a feeling for where what goes and also for the search cloud and how to find stuff. But imagine if a newbie comes in here and wants to find out if his new Topaz is an ARM or a SH3 because he/she wants to download the Total Commander Beta... (ok, well maybe this is not the forum for people who dont know what hardware they are using)
I promise I'll behave in the future
Thank you again for sorting this out for me, very much appreciated
P.S.

Understood. But with threads this big, lets assume that somebody asks in Dutty's ROM thread if it supports handwriting on page 100 something. You cant be 100% sure that if the question was answered it contains the word "handwriting" again. So you do have to read to the nect 150 pages to see if somebody actually answered the question (Nobody did, I should know)

The transcriber apps never seem to work as well as HTC own software. I did try some (calligrapher etc) but the results are less than I expected
Ok, I really shut up now

I am actually talking about the transcriber itself, not calligrapher or anything else.
Good morning,
slight misunderstanding here because: dont ask me why but HTC did not include a transcriber in the Topaz ROMs

any devs/mods here working on porting froyo to desire or not ??? if yes, we all wanna know their progress... i mean they may feel bit relaxed if they leak their success & failures step by step....
we are very curious to know & play with froyo..... kindly keep us updated about froyo development....
Have you even looked in the Desire Android Development section ?!
Are you serious!?
The devs have been releasing builds of Froyo for AGES now!
Perhaps a quick search or even a browse around the forum would have avoided this pointless thread! lol
hehe.... all i am asking is latest FRF83 build based custom ROMs.... with fully working functions including video recording at 720p & wifi N hack..all these r available ??? dont i know that i can search in dev thread & after searching there only i am asking here....
all i asked here was the news about the development stages & what devs have achieved & what they have failed.... that is interesting to know.... i am not as foolish as some people point me to look at somewhere instead of asking for froyo builds in general section....
mind you guys, pls read my heading & its content.... then u r at ur liberty to comment wisely.....

5 minutes or less reading the initial post of the FRF83 roms in the development forum would answer all of these questions

I fear many people around here can't read ---- or use a simple search button
In the good old days people helped others on forums.. now i see a lot of flamming and cant U read answers. Lets keep helping eachothet instead of replying useless answers.
To be fair there's not much help anyone could give. If he's been away from the forums for the last few weeks and hasn't seen the news on various blogs about FroYo then he's not as interested as he's made out, and his search skills are lacking. Not much anyone can do about him not being able to use Google or this sites built in search.
i'm currently using DeFrost 1.4 and it's wicked. other than the camcorder not working, it seems fine. I'm sticking with it for the moment. BUT BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL ROM!!!

In the good old days, people weren't as *****y.
He's asking if anyone's working on a (presumably semi-functioning) ROM built from the 2.2 source, not a Nexus port.
How can you thank someone, everyone speaks of thanks button but I cant find it, is it because I have under 10 posts?

http://www.hallmark.com/online/ideas/thank-you-and-appreciation/
I wanted to put this in the thread it applies to, but I can't post there because I'm a noobie . This seems a good place to put it - partly because I can't see a Thankyou button either - Tweet it, Face it or Report it, yes; Thank it , no.
Anyhow this is ref: "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo" in the G2 and Desire Z Android Development forum. If a mod wants to move it there that would be nice - thankyou.
I just want to say THANKYOU to Setherio and strawmetal for their guides and download links.
For some time I've been investigating moving my DZ from HTC Gingerbread to Cyanogen, but from what I could see getting round S-ON was going to be a nightmare, if even possible. The information around is confusing to put it mildly.
This thread gave me hope and these guides actually made it simple ... well maybe not that easy, but following them went pretty much without a hitch.
I just had two notable hiccups: At first adb couldn't find the files, but that was sorted by a cd to the platform-tools folder and run it from there (yes, I did change the environment Path as instructed - perhaps I needed a reboot too). The other hitch was just me mistyping a path for one command .
After dropping off the end of these guides I even got CM7 loaded using the Cyanogen wiki instructions, but it all went a bit pear-shaped then as it got stuck in a boot loop. A bit of googling found a solution - seems some other peoples' guides aren't as good as this xda one and didn't mention certain clearings of caches that were needed. But it's all up and running now.
So once again a huge THANKYOU to Setherio and strawmetal - I literally couldn't/wouldn't have done it without you.

Same here, and I can´t find nothing, nowere!!!
It would be easy for us, noobs, if we can find about in some place. Like the post who explains this new funcion, could have "but only if... you could use this".
I use some good advices here and i don´t really need to post dumb stuff just to say thank you!

Hi, that's my first post. :silly:
I came here trying to find a way to thank a dev that made my phone even more impressive. (tytung)
But as the rom is in the "Devs only area" (min 10 posts) I could not thank him.

Screw that idea. Wrong section = no answer until it's in the right one.
answer... so it can be closed and moved
MetroPCS... you have the following three choices that I know of:
Stock (the basic RUU [with or without update(s)]) -> Go to Football's thread
I made a lil stockish rom (think its over on AndroidForums)
Henry09 has HenseMod that works with MetroPCS
Other than those, other roms may work, but I wouldn't count on them being a daily driver.. SMS/MMS or something will give you difficulty sooner or later.
I will also say it is my personal recommendation to NOT install ctmd with HenseMod.. repartitioning has screwed up so many MetroPCS's data; that I choose not to go into a rant about it (yet I have supported them the best I can).
That's it man... all I've seen. Yep Simon's 3.5 is an evolution of JMZ's 3.5, and it is the ONLY 3.5 I've seen on the CDMA side.. there may be/probably will be bugs as both of those devs (as well as I) are with VM USA; plus its a port.
Ok that's all I got.. pack it up and move it to general.
Regards,
Rob
