[Q]Roms

So, since AlphaRev is comming soon(-ish) I would like to get some information about roms. Or some suggestions.
I'm looking for a non-sense rom, that is fast (preferably Gingerbread).
Also; If I install CM7 (GB) will I have to install any custom kernels for overclocking?
Thank you for your help :]

No, CM7 comes with a kernel that supports overclocking by default.
ROM List here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318

Thanks for that info.
Concerning your list, I'm looking for some input from other users

Can't really help you there, because the only AOSP (Non - Sense) ROM I have used till date is CM7, both stable and nightlies. Personally, I am very satisfied with it, and would whole heartedly recommend it, but, ROM choice is a personal thing.

What is the main advantage of nightlies over the stable one?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App

Nightlies integrate many changes, developed over time.They are kind of "unofficial / beta builds", so there's no official support for bugs on those. Thus, nightlies may give new features, but may also have the potential for introducing new bugs.
One example: The nightlies use Android 2.3.4 since quite a while back, but all stable versions are still on 2.3.3. The next stable version will obviously incorporate 2.3.4

Thank you
Guess I'll go for the stable cm7 once AlphaRevX comes.

indeed..
so true.
but the problem is many people doesn't know (or doesn't want to know) if Defy-Wiki was exist.
even it's on sticky...
i think everyone can contribute and add information on that wiki.

[Q] Going from Cyanogenmod to ics beta

I am currently on cyanogenmod 7.2 stable release. i wanted to go the Official ICS beta but am unsure how I would do this.
I tried looking everywhere and i cant find anything.
I was looking at installing R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK that I found on here as Sony Companion will not let me update to 4.0.2.A.0.42 as ! am on a modified mobile.
Does anyone know a better way than this or should i just flash this to my Xperia play and then update it to official ICS and then install Doomlords kernal v03 for ICS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have only ever used cyanogenmod and their Xperia play roms are never that brilliant and wanted to try ICS.

I recommend you stay away from the ics beta as it's bad in many respects. You'll be better off trying cm9 or aokplay

Thanks for the advice. I went for CM9 fxp 125 in the end seems to be working really nice.
Only had one question though and that was in the guide on here it said I needed to update my baseband to .62
I didn't do that but seems to be working fine.
Will I get any benefits to updating to that?
Thanks again XDA members, you the best!

What's best for nitro p930?

Hi guys, got nitro hd a few weeks later. Till now never rooted and it's still in gb 2.3.5. Now wanted to try something and thought of upgrade or flashing a roms.
So what I need is, should i go for official ICS or cm rom. And as I'm a noob would like a detailed tutorial on flashing/rooting.
Thanks in advance.

Here's my suggestion of how to progress into the custom ROMs world...
1. Read about rooting your Nitro. Look in our Dev Forum for guides on doing it.
2. Root while you're still on 2.3.5 (to circumvent any of the stated issues with rooting Official ICS), also install CWM (ClockworkMod) on it as it will allow you to easily install ROMs.
3. Then try the CM9 ROM nightlies. It's fast, stable and smooth.
4. After you've gotten comfortable with that and have gone through a few nightlies...Then you can feel free to venture forth into the other custom ROMs (MAKE SURE you're familiar with making proper backups in case you want to revert back to previous builds/ROMs), or even the CM10 Preview builds.
Good luck!

Sorry to Hijack .But isnt it like a Pain to Root the Official ICS update ,wouldnt it be easier to root on 2.3.5 and install CWM and then flash ? Im not second guessing you ,I just got my Nitro HD today but been reading that the process to root ICS is kind of long and tricky.

You could be right. I rooted mine back on 2.3.5 so I haven't gone through any of the hassles as have been stated with rooting from official ICS. I shall adjust my original post.

Doble check.
OP double check your baseband version cuase if its 2.3.5 V10j ,it has been stated that its nearly impossible yet doable after many tries.

To be honest, I don't know more details about the android world. Can someone plz link the basics of android like cwm, adb & so I can have some basic knowledge about it.
Actually, I feared I would brick it.
And thanks guys for the replies.

Will do it by evening and any idea abt roms & cmw. I like to try the ICS.

If you wanna try the official ICS, get cwm from ROM manager. Then download honos flash able official ICS. Try it out, if you like it, keep it, if you don't, switch to something like cm9 or cm10 or hono's full throttle or honos aokp, the choices are endless, all you need to do is search .

There is no chance of bricking, if you get cwm from ROM manager itself.

Try the official ics before custom ics, it's WAY faster than official gingerbread, it's stable and once debloated it's pretty perfect as it is to me.
Then if you want to taste something else, try the cm9/10 but I would let them as a second passage to ics/jb.
For the official rom you can either flashing with lg tool (using the before - after rooting method brianlily posted here) or go with cwm as stated by rani9990, it should be the same.. the substantial difference is that if you don't put the cwm recovery before ics, then you'll need to go through partial unbrick process to revert back to gingerbread, because on ics the cwm won't be possible to install.

I would advise to take it a step further and unlock your bootloader and install CWM... then install one of the latest JB Roms (they all run great), I personally have a few JB Roms in the forum if you are interested but you can also go for CM10.1 (mustaavalkosta) and JellyTime (randomblame) or Paranoid... etc. The choice is yours...

He used to installed it but jb have reputation to drains more battery compared to stock rom. My recommendation will be either ARHD or rooted stock rom that you can find in the devs section.
