Hey Everyone,
So I just picked up a MyTouch Slide for my Mother (Yes I'm a good son) and I need 3 things in a ROM as a must for her.
She wants a very large font & so I know I can just go into the build.prop file and edit the density to 240. But I've tried it with sense roms and for some reason, nothing looks right & it doesn't work. I tried it on a Vanilla Froyo rom and it looks perfect.
2ndly, she is in an area where she gets like 1 bar at her house so I need Wifi Calling (I use it on my sensation and it works flawlessly). This is a must!
And then 3rdly it needs to be able to hotspot tether for her new wifi tablet.
So 3 things, again...
1. A vanilla froyo/gingerbread rom (for lcd density purposes)
2. A rom that supports wifi calling & works!
3. Hotspot tethering.
Please let me know what you suggest. Thanks for your help in advance!
Have you tried CyanogenMod? CM7 is gingerbread and I think its meant to be pretty close to vanilla, but with extra features. I would assume the font fix would work with CM.
I'm running the latest CM7 stable (found here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso)
And I flashed this wifi fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177650 (the file linked to in the first post is flashable with clockworkMOD recovery v2.5.0.7)
I have Wifi calling working as well. I don't think it comes with CM, but you can install it and it works.
Also, the wifi hotspot is built into CM7 as well, or you can install an app for that.
edit: oh heh, i just saw your other thread and you got some good replies there.
Awesome thank you sir! So is everything on Cm7 stable? I've heard its hit and miss?

I'd say CM7 stable is pretty good. I haven't had any issues with it. If you do have issues with wifi or gps - there are fixes for those (the wifi fix is linked above).

Just wondering what roms fellow TELUS Desire HD users are using, and if you're experiencing any mass bugs? I'm currently running ARHD 3 with sense. After install I still needed to install the telus/inspire audio fix because prior to it my calls sounded horrible. I haven't played much with setcpu, but have pushed my CPU up to 1.2ghz for a bit. The first Rom I used was raidroid and as of yet I haven't flashed any custom kernels. I've also flashed the elequant blue theme for a quick change but I'm already becoming restless. For the record though everything seems to be running fine eg. WiFi, video, weather. Also note - before ARHD 3 I did a full wipe. So what are your suggestions for a different kernel or do you think there is a better alternative rom, or ones to stay clear of for now?
My Telus DHD with ARHD 3.0 has one bug in it, It wont let me connect to the mobile network. When I try to turn it on it just gets stuck at "Turning On" and doesn't progress. If anyone knows what i need to do to fix it (other than flashing ARHD 2.1), it would be much appreciated
I'm running CyanogenMod 7 nightly #11 on my Telus desire HD. Been pretty happy with it, no major issues or bugs.

Did you do a full wipe before flash? Also I flashed Telus Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 awhile back (via usb/pc not clockwork mod). Lastly I used APN Manager to backup my APN before I ever flashed any roms and then I reinstall and restore my APN backup everytime I flash a new rom. Did you configure your APN?

Nice thats what I want to try next. Any extra effort required eg. Telus Kernal?
The only other thing I had to do was flash the inspire audio fix to get rid of the tinny sound.

Ill wait for #13. They say everything will be fixed in it and nothing more will be needed.
Decided to Try CoreDroid 3.1 Themed
Wow. I'm loving it. Blazing fast great battery life, and love the experience. My favorite so far for the speed and simplicity and the very subtle theme tweaks. You can tell they took their time getting this right. My only 2 beefs are that the home screen launcher bar looks almost like the basic stock one even though its menus are awesome, and I had to select United States english. But damn that's knit picking this rom is awesome. Also I had to flash the Inspire 4G/Telus audio fix for phone calls, and set APN manually. The only downside is when I finished completing a full wipe and flash of the ROM 3.1 they released 3.2 with an updated kernel. 3.2 is based on 1.84.661.1 and the recommended radio is 26.06.03.24_M2. Sounds like a perfect match for me to Telus. I'll let you know how it goes tonight.
A few weeks ago, I bought a used EVO off ebay and it came in good condition but had the 2.3.3 ota update and was locked out till Revolutionary came along and allowed me to s-off and get SU access. This was all done with the intention of trying a few other custom roms with Sense 2.x, 3.x and AOSP. After having tried, played with used and read about various roms on XDA for the EVO, are there ANY roms that work as well or better then the stock rom????
To me is seems more like what are u willing to deal with or live without ranging from HDMI, GPS, 4G, Camera issues. I've used 2 roms that can even keep a folder I created on my main screen with a few apps in that folder from removing those apps when I reboot or shut down my phone. Is there and AOSP rom that has more then 5 home screens, wereas the sense roms have 7.
I love the newer mail app that will display all your accts on 1 screen, I have yet to find any ROM with sense 3.0 that can or will display all the google calendars that I have access to view. The carosel of the home screens is the best part of the custom ROMS.
While I truely do appreciate the awesome and very hard work that the developers do to make theses roms to add functionality to our EVO's why would you put something our that isn't ready for daily use??
Are their any Custom ROMs that have ALL the pieces working???
I get where you're coming from, because i cant keep a ROM knowing that something isnt working properly, plus i dont like getting all fancy with the ROMs i like em simple and the sense feel.
Check out the Sprint Lovers ROM with a custom karnel, that should suit you.

I love the nice simple design of the ROM, and EVERYTHING from GPS, 4G, Camera, WIFI work. Not sure if HDMI is working but im sure it does.. im able to keep apps in a folder after a restart too. Not sure about the email app and google calenders thing.
Golden Monkey and Supercharger are just a plus for speed.

Try miui. It is amazing. Only thing that doesn't work is 4g. That's because it's originally made by the Chinese.

Well see thats kinda what I'm getting at, something that doesn't work. Now if I didn't live in an area that didn't have 4G coverage, I might consider MIUI, but i do live in a 4G area. TY for the reply, much appreciated.

I don't have 4g where I live so that why its not a problem for me. I would probably use it even if I did. I barely use data anyway cuz I have wifi at home I just use that.

You know, Wi-Fi isn't necessarily faster than 4g. I'm not trying to be a troll though, just explaining it so you don't have the wrong impression.

Well if you go to your fridge, you should find the pickle rom, or even the orange juice rom. I've heard they are the most stable.

Hmmmm.....
I think we can help....Click back on your browser, scroll down...and READ THE REST OF THIS FORUM FOR SENSE 3.5 ROMS. You obviously "no" how to post in the forums...surely you can figure out how to search.
That is mostly a matter of what hardware/ROM you are using. Different software behaves different ways depending on what hardware it's installed on. The easiest way to find out what's going to work for you is to experiment with a variety of ROMs. MikG works well for me. Just a suggestion for future burn prevention (getting flamed) post your questions over in the Q & A section. Development is usually reserved for active ROM development and how-to guides. You'll find people to be a bit more helpful with questions over in Q&A as well.

hello! my brother rooted my phone last week before he left out of the country and he left me his xda info to ask if i had any questions since i wont be able to contact him much. my question is, does anyone know of a rom i can use that has functioning wifi tether? we have the unlimited plan but no tether and i would really love to use it. my brother installed darthstalker x and im kinda bored of it (its a great rom dont get me wrong). im just looking for something like an aokp? or aosp? idk what the difference is.. and if possible, maybe with the same motion functionality like on the original s3 rom. i like sliding my hand across to screen capture and all that haha. thanks for all the help!
ps he also installed a different kernel? idk what that means except that he said that i'll get better battery life, thats always a plus
If you want motion functions then you need to stay with a touchwiz based ROM, I think most of them have the free tether cooked in by now, it should say in the first post or changelogs if it does or not

CyanogenMod 10.1 4.2.2 latest nightly works great, including encrypted WiFi hotspot as long as you flash a kernel with it. Stock Cyanogen kernel breaks encryption. The kernel I am using right now is LeanKernel, and everything works great.
Another great ROM is PACman 4.2.1, which is a combination of ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, and CyanogenMod. I stopped using it, cause the settings are kind of a mess at the moment with most of the AOKP options being blank, but again, everything works on it, including encrypted Hotspot, and Bluetooth streaming. I like this ROM mostly because of the ParanoidAndroid settings that let you change the screen density, and per app density. This one does not need another kernel to get the hotspot working.
Here are some links:
CyanogenMod 10.1
LeanKernel
PACman ROM
Oh, and some info on tethering....T-mobile blocks it on PC's using pretty much any ROM, but you can spoof it with a browser UserAgent change and you should be good to go.

You went back to a 4.1 build, wifi tether worked fine back then.
If you want 4.2.2 with encrypted wifi, try the latest CM10.1 nightly with LeanKernel 2.6. That combo works perfect for me.
Hello, I am wondering what is the newest most advanced ROM that has T-Mo's Wi-Fi calling?
I ask because there was a ROM that stated it in the title but no longer seems to do so
I also assume there are a bunch of great ROMs out there that support it and don't adverstise it
Lastly, is there a zip/apk we can flash onto any ROM? I know this used to exist but didn't always work
Any help would be much appreciated
I'm asking because I have been away for a while
I had found this ROM:

Embrio is a very nice rom. I'm partial to Jedi Mind Trick V4/5. Its a great TW ROM that has the WIFI calling you desire. It is in JB 4.1.2 However if you like to be able to skin your ROM how you like check out AvatarROM. It also has WIFI calling as well. It has a theme engine which you can use to employ themes that are available in-rom to download, or pick a theme from the market. It runs 4.2.2. Both are stellar ROMs and run very fast. And FYI. If you require a ROM that can use WIFI tether, JMT does the job well. Even uses the stock tether app too. (Take that T-mo.)

Both ROM's support custom kernels. I am using the most recent kernel build from elbermu, which is the TW_1.02 for JMT. Does a great job. Supports Kernel tuner and TweakMod. Just make sure you are using the correct version kernel for the correct ROM build (i.e 4.1.2 with the proper 4.1.2 kernel. I learned the hard way) Also GApps packages.

When I loaded Avatar up, I had to turn WIFI calling off I believe. IDK. I don't run it as a daily driver ATM. But I can tell you that JMT does. Thats my daily driver. Works like a champ. WIFI calling works, but I don't use it much. Sorry if I misinformed you earlier about Avatar and WIFI calling. The new version might not have it.
