So, having tried out three Roms, it's a lot of fun seeing the differences, but the lingo is still way over my head, sometimes.
Sense is an HTC brand launcher/theme, if I understand correctly?
And of the Roms I've tried, stock debloated and Skyraider are Sense Roms, and cm7 is not?
What I definitely need in a Rom is the ability to use the phone with local sim cards in Europe, the ability to turn off/dim the softkey backlight, good signal and battery usage, and reasonable stability.
Skyraider is great, but I can't turn of the softkey backlight (to my knowledge).
CM7 is very nice, but has issues with the sound level. Heard about a certain kernel fixing it, but am too new to understand kernels and how to get back to your old one, if need be.
Does anyone know of any Roms that fit the bill, that are safe for a noob?
Skyraider and cm7 both do all but the back light thing and no Rom does that yet.
Flashing a kernel is just like flashing the Rom and to return to the kernel in the Rom, just flash the Rom again without wiping.

tiamat is the kernel that fixed sound on cm7 you flash a kernel just like a ROM but you don't need to wipe data first. I just flash. don't use aosp (cm7, miui,omgb) kernels on sense roms and vice versa it will cause problems. I like miui that's the ROM I use. stable fast and very customizable. not sure if it supports global mode or not I don't need it. if you have any further questions just ask

MIUI dims the soft-key back lights in conjunction with the screen, and at the lowest screen brightness, the soft-key back lights are completely off. I love how it works, I could never stand how the soft-key back lights on my Fascinate would totally outshine the screen when it was at it's dimmest setting.

So, just place the kernel on the root of the sd, and flash with CWR?

Maybe I should give that one a try, and then flash to a "known to work with global" rom before the trip.

I saw you mention the kernel, but as someone who can only follow instructions, and not really understand all the reasoning behind it, I didn't want to jump in with both feet and mess up.
What does aosp stand for?
Is there something like a kernel manager that will show you which kernel is appropriate for your rom?
And once I have tried a bunch of Roms, and made backups of them in CWR, can I just restore the one I want, instead of flashing from sd card, and having to reinstall everything? And if yes, do I still want to do a full wipe before?
Thanks for all the help, everyone!

You must wipe Dalvik cache prior to flashing a new kernel.
If you need something with global access, CM7 and any GSM port really won't be a wise choice. If you want to use ROMs like those while maintaining global access, you probably want to do a nandroid backup of a stock ROM and keep it handy or flash Skyraider. Skyraider is a great choice.
Not sure why you'd want to turn off the keys backlight with them off you can't see where the keys are lol.
I never wipe dalvik before flashing a kernel. aosp is Android open source project. its a ROM built from that source. miui and Cm7 for example are aosp roms

I really like Skyraider, so will keep that one handy.
And the backlight is really annoying when reading at night, or having the clock on at night, or watching vids.
What's the reason for CM7 not working for global?

The benefit of sense ROMs is when you flash one, at least one based off the original ROM you can expect everything to work. CM7 won't support it, unless someone figures out how to code the hardware to AOSP. Just like when CM7 was released for the EVO. It took some time for them to get 4G to it. It really depends on how many are trying to get CM7 to the incredible 2...
But that's one of the benefits of a sense ROM. Things just work.
Edit: previous post says it may be working.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
to answer your question about restoring backups, it certainly doesnt hurt to wipe before restoring but I dont and never had issues, the reason being is that backups are an EXACT system image of when you took the backup so all your settings apps etc are left intact and it completely overwrites your previous rom. backups are very handy but remember they take up a lot of space at minimum they take up 500 mb but in actuality they probably will be much larger

I like sense, but this is my very first smartphone, and my only android experience is with a Nook Color, running phiremod, so I've not seen much.
I've seen a report or two that cm7 works with different sims.

Thank you! And yes, I've noticed that a 2GB card fills up in no time.
I will have to get something larger, so I can transfer the backups (are the files in the clockwork folder all I need?) I made, plus fit my documents, music and videos onto.
Is there a way to verify a CWM backup, apart from actually restoring it?
well I'm sure there is a way to verify a backup but if its no good it just simply won't flash it will say installation aborted so I never really bothered to check integrity. I will say though backups aren't always 100% for example I restored a backup once and the status bar was completely missing but they are usually reliable. and yes your backups are stored in your cwm folder that is all you need

Stock and Vanilla in this case don't mean the same thing -- stock roms are Sense based, and Vanilla refers to android without any sense -- as you would have on the nexus one, or compiling from Android Open Source Project code.

hey tc, i tried to port frf92 as well, but my question is, why are folders missing after the port.
hope your port goes well. i made a patched cm6 to hold myself over until there was a vanilla port, but as the time goes by, i just feel more and more like the real vanilla. good luck.

After trying both CM6 and SkyRaider Vanilla, I'm still looking for a true vanilla rom!!
CM 6.0.1 is vanilla, but it's still HEAVILY modified. Plus, it freezes with a blank screen, or Exchange stops updating, or force closes pop up every once in a while, etc.
SkyRaider has a "vanilla" version, but again it's heavily modified.
I'm not asking for just a vanilla UI, I'd like a vanilla UI AND OS. Give me a vanilla OS that hasn't been screwed with...please? A clean, stock, VANILLA UI and OS that's as near to Google's code as possible (like the Nexus One for example), that hasn't been tinkered with, and that just works on the Incredible.
Is this possible????
Check out the Ruby rom in the development section.

I think it'd be interesting for someone to come up with a ROM possibly cyanogen or liquid based, and replace everything possible with go apps. ie: go launcher, go locker, go weather, go sms, etc.. it would add an interesting theming aspect that I think many would enjoy. Would this be possible??

That makes me think, I wonder if (since I've heard TW is a pita) you could do the same thing with MIUI and sense. So you could still have a lot of the sense aspects but also have the functionality of MIUI similar to your senseless ROM.

This seems like it would be too much of a hassle when you could just as easily install all of the apps the GO Team has to offer and make it look like you have a full GO ROM.
You could always flash MIUI. IMO it's pretty close to the GO with the right theme settings.

It still wouldn't be the same. I'm talking have something fully themeable like MIUI or cyanogenmod but everything is go instead of whatever is stock in the ROM. I guess, yeah you could do it by downloading it all, but it'd be kooler to see more integration.
Oh, btw nitsuj, I messaged andmer about the MIUI/Sense hybrid. I told him I'd be willing to test if he felt like even fooling with it.

I find both are equally stable, I haven't had a single issue with either. CM9 is incredible, however. Better battery life with CM7 though.
Kind of apples and oranges kind of thing since 1 is GB based and the other is ICS based. I prefer CM9.

They're both on par with stability. However, Cm9 will be more draining on your battery when you actually use the phone, as each app is given 8mb of memory for hw acceleration. Not sure if that's been tweaked. But CM9 is what's poppin and worked on. If you want the latest, CM9, if you're a geek who's crazy over battery in Cyanogenmod roms, CM7. Both last fairly if you don't use data and let it go in deep sleep, it's your call as we all use our Epics differently and are all occupied with our phones in various ways.

Start with CM9. Set it up the way you like. Get the feel of all the new settings and get your apps set up. Don't forget to flash the gapps with the install. Then you make a nandroid of your working setup and try other ICS based stuff like AOKP.

I think it's on par with stock rooted. I tried v2 and v3 and it's just not that big of a deal. It doesn't seem worth it.
I used to run FreeGS3 on my first S3 (from ICS 4.0, before it got stolen) and it was the best of the best. Very lean and great battery life and very nice involved developer. Then it started getting more and more "feature" wise with things i considered silly fluff, but most were optional which i liked anyway, pick what you want or not.
After replacing my S3 a month ago, i decided to run stock TouchWiz rooted and have kept it that way ever since. Same battery life, fast, stable, solid.
In my opinion, stock rooted is what i find the best. But if ask me what the best custom ROM is out there, i'd still recommend FreeGS3.

It is also very customizable via morphology..you can change toggle colors, toggle background, status bar background, battery, Wi-Fi, 3g cell icons and colors. You can also customize your dialer background and colors. There are also full themes or you can change just what you want.

I have a stock rooted GS3. I used odin and had CWMR. I downloaded TWRP ran that and made a backup. Then when i tried running the Freegs3 rom following the instructions from qbking77's video. I did everything like in the video and saw all the same results he was seeing in the video but when it was finished and it went to reboot i didnt see the sonic logo and my phone went right back into TWRP. I tried rebooting a few times but it always right back into recovery mode. Finally I wiped everything again and restored to my back-up of the stock root. Has anyone seen or heard of this before? Anyone have any tips of suggestions of what i may be doing wrong? any help would be appreciated. Thanks

MY LATEST W/ WIFI CALLING
SHADOW is a very resource conscientious ROM @ around 260MB... radio is about 40MB and is included as well as TWRP 2.6 recovery
1 minute Initial BOOTUP TIME
Excellent Use of all available JB partitions
Very light and even somewhat future proofed... How, you ask?
Well I simply didn't include apps that were in the /system or /preload tray that are easy to update on PlayStore.
So what ends up happening is our device has an old version in system/apps and a newer version is in /data using space and resources in both folders.
Gnow for instance will have two copies [one old one new] as soon as we update if its included in the system/app.
Don't include it and it goes to /data only and works like a charm.
That being said I made excellent use of these folders we have on 4.1.2 .
My kernel is included... I built it from from Samsung source for full function of our device. Of course the Rom is compatible with our 4.1.2 kernels uvmc6 found in our dev threads for our devices.

~~~Giving Thanks~~~
Giving thanks is important. It lets people know that their work or answer is appreciated. It is a faster
method of feedback than posting a reply like "Thanks for your answer!" You must have one post to
give thanks, so here is a good place you can do that: The "Say Hi" thread.
You can go do that now and come back and finish here please.
You get 8 thanks per day, and they renew after 24 hours or so. Each thanks is independent of the others,
so if you give someone a thanks at 3, and then another at 4, those will renew at 3 and 4 the next day.
If you run out of thanks, then save that page in a new tab and give thanks later when you have one available.
If you use them all every day you are doing it correctly.
Another classic rom from Rushing?! DLing now! Woot!
Nice to see another one of your ROM's
Back with a vengeance!! Always liked your stuff bro... :thumbup:thanks for your contribution to this Hercules community.

Wow, was looking for something like this. Will try soon and report back
Any screen shots? I am looking for something a bit more stable than jmt for my wife's s2! So how does it compare to jmt 6?
Loving it!

Not questioning, just asking.... What's wrong with Jedi? I've ran it several times in the past and never an issue. I only changed to go back to the AOSP feel / Vanilla. Everything Rushing has ever put out has been above par and right on task as a daily driver. I will say that he doesn't publish often, but when he does its worth taking a look at.
But like always, nandroid first and then test this out. If its not for you, no hard feelings, return to previous setup.

screen shots in OP now... I never tried jmt 6... from what i read there are lots of users. I predict this ROM to be more stable cause there is less going on, but this is still testing and not a final so we will see.
please report any problems... thanks

I will flash and report back tomorrow! It's my wife's s2 and ever since I flashed jmt 6 on her phone and she has been having small issues. And since she is not really that savvy with all this stuff she doesn't know how to fix it! I love jmt and have been using it before I went to AOSPA!
Glad you came back Rushing! The first custom ROM I flashed on my s2 was one of your ICS touchWIZ ROMs!

Pardon me. Can you make one for the telus rom? I'm looking for a lite, debloated stock ROM and this one looks and sounds good.
Thanks in advance

You could always after flashing this ROM, you flash a Telus specific kernel and radio!
That could always work, a lot of people from the sky rocket community flash ROMs from the t-mobile s2 forums they just flash their kernels and radios and it works just fine!

Bam very nice!
I'm sorry but is there a way to change the setting ui to stock color?
if not, thanks for great ROM
Rushing,
First, thank you for your hard work. I will be using this ROM as my daily driver.
I've been thinking about the UI recently and I see that you have power toggles enabled on your phone. Is is possible to create a MOD disabling the toggles and brightness bar so that power toggles takes the place of the SystemUI toggles? The reason I ask is because I think it would 1) be more visually attractive & 2) save space, the toggles and bar take up ~1/3 of the screen in the notification shade.
Also, I think it would be very efficient if the search key were remapped to recent apps.
*I know the things I mentioned potentially cause problems with stability but I think they would make good add-ons.:good:
Great room. Smooth. I have one question though. I couldn't get my Gmail calendars to show up. I downloaded Google services and even downloaded the Google version of the calendar. I checked my accounts and calendars don't show up to sync. I did a fresh install and used the wipe scrips.
