ROMs

What's up everyone, I'm kind of new too this whole rooting thing. Any one got some personal favorite ROMs for the G2?

errmm once rooted, make sure you have s-off, anndd i like the nightly builds, they are based on cyanogen mod roms and offer more settings and tweaks than most android roms. i also like the launcher pro, you need to buy it for around $3-4 or £2-3, install it then use titanium backup to to remove the adw launcher.

I was using GingerVillain 1.5 for a while but recently switched over to meXdroid meXperia remeX and have been loving it. GingerVillain 1.5 was a great ROM as well but with meXdroid I am noticing some better battery life and when scrolling through home screens using launcher pro, the motion seems a bit more fluid than it was on GV.

can you show some pictures?

the acer liquidmetal rom in the android development section is one of the sickest interfaces ive seen ever on android theres screenies on that thread.

Umm...shouldn't this be in Q&A?

...and shouldnt they be using the SEARCH feature?

Ultimate Droid 3.2.0 Its stable and super fast, its got some pretty sweet customizations that other rom's don't.

Ultimate droid I would say is the top rom IMO.. smooth, custimazation features build in, quick, stable. Its like cm7 on crack.

...now that you mention it, I do recall something called a "search" feature.

I have a HUGE problem with UD, they were dirty and I think the only reason why the post is still alive on XDA is because they either cleaned up their act, or a mod just did not notice it yet.
They were banned on XDA and another site this pretty much explains it: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/android-soap-opera-ultimate-droid
Also I don't like the whole money for nightly thing. Something seems morally wrong there.

+1 for acer liquid... i just tried it... its cool!!

best rom opinion

This is super subjective but im curious to see what the majority is....
right now im on virtuous 1.0.2 with the oc to 15xx.... but the last while my phone has been laggy as all can be, lots of programs such as sms and email etc is always freezing and crashing....
so since im switching up to sgs2 in a few days, wondering what ppl think is the best overall rom for our phones....
plan on giving this to my wife, so i want something with the least amount of bs, and great speed, fluid feeling, with good battery
Thanks all

Man there are couple of these already...

Ya well when.the search via the phone didnt bring it up, figured no harm in asking, also you could contribute vs saying something with zero relevance to what I asked.... thnx tho

If by "couple" you mean "100,000" then yes.
OP, if you want a basic, stable ROM (aka not sense) you can check out an AOSP ROM like stock Gingerbread (I've used the one from Xboarder) or CM7.

I like the flinny cm10 nightly. he is still in development but its got a tone of promise!

[Q] cyanogen mod vs miui- which looks better?

My vote goes to cyanogen mod since miui just didn't feel right. Didn't like the look of the majority of the apps either.

Cm7 ftw.. if you like miui, get an iphone...

My thoughts exactly. I don't like the feel of miui nor the look of it.

miui = polished android. if you like miu you don't necessarily need to get an iphone... JUST CHANGE YOUR LAUNCHER! ITS THAT SIMPLE. I consider miui menu style, popup system, and customization leaps and bounds ahead of stock android look. also this thread won't do justice to the xda'ers who've had miui and that can really comment on this.. would be nice to see this thead in Android General.

Throw a nice theme on cm7 with good looking icos an you have a winner

Only thing I like about it is the messaging pop-up. Other than that it's mostly eye candy to me. No more or less functionality than cm

why do you think the iphone is the most successful smartphone ever made. because iOS looks clean and ordinary folks like the eye candy! android has more features than ios but lacks in the aesthetic department.. where stock android lacks, miui succeeds. ICS is going in the right direction..

Its the most succesful smartphone because people stick with what they know, and most wouldn't know how to use android to its full potential to begin with.

I like the transparent dock of miui and go launcher

Im glad somebody asked this. I was wondering the same thing. I want to try one out, I just don't know which one has the least amount of bugs.

Both are good. I like CM better because it's more flexible and more along the lines of AOSP andriod. I would call it a roided out AOSP rom. With MIUI, once you add a launcher on top, besides the pulldown whats the point? If you want the iphone look then there are alternative's to miui like Espier which is more Iphone like than even miui (at least until apple sues the developer).

try both since each user has their own preference. cm7 has less bugs i believe. i rocked both but right i'm back to ec05 until stable wifi/video gets fixed. both very important to me.

Right now for the Epic, CM7 development is a bit further along than Miui. I've been running CM since the 11th and it just keeps getting better with every new release.
Note: I don't/can't use wimax.

same function but miui is better eye candy. one would be silly to think your only stuck with miui launcher and that any other launcher on top would hinder performance. same goes for cm7 which had adw integrated.

I have been flipping back and forth on my Nexus every day. I like how on Miui you can use the dialer from one theme, mms from another, pulldown bar and boot ani from another, etc but CM7 seems more refined development wise and it has plenty of good themes as well...and CM7 has 4g
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

MIUI is more customizable, and it's basically like a Sense, MotoBlur, or TouchWiz made by Root Developers. That's the main reason I lean to it more then anything, but CM is just so stock and has everything but it has it so minimalistically, and that's why it's better. Both have their pros and cons, no one ROM is perfect, but both are amazing.

Use sms pop up for text msg pop ups onscreen very nice. Problem solved lol

CM7 with themes. Got a crap load of themes installed. Makes Android actually look good for the first time...

Id vote for Cyanogen, I like the minimalistic look of it all.
But I can't vote right now.

ROMS??

I have done a search and have not found the answer I'm looking for what is the difference between roms they have aosp,sense,miui all kinds of different roms what makes them different.... Any links that tell me would be good or any info on them thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Not really...
Sense - Some sense version of HTC sense. Has the stock UI, though its advanced in the more current version; 3.5 is the latest/ Each version offers improvements/features over the previous
AOSP- Android Open Source Project roms are light and fast, and don't have the heavy laggy sense UI on them. They over heavy customization and generally have bettery battery life and performance over sense. Though you lose the Sense integration of some things and apps, over using sense.
MIUI- AOSP rom, but its its own source, not built upon CM. has an Iphone aesthetic looks, but its android. No 4G on the rom, and it offers its own uniqueness you won't get in other roms; such as its lock screen customization.

they all have different advantages and disadvantages AOSP= Android Open Source Project basic google rom offers the opportunity to customize more to your liking offers different UI's like GO launcher and ADW
Sense is an interface laid over android more of an eye candy then anything else in my opinion.
MIUI Chinese iphone clone
The real answer to this question Now that you are rooted you are free to try out anything you want and make your own decision.

Sense is a UI laid over, just like touchwiz [samsung], and motoblur [motorola].

I tried all of the roms they got on XDA and the best is to stay with the sense. Personally that is the main reason I chose HTC android over other android devices.
Im running Radiance RC4 right now, and its been running smooth. it has a sense 3.5

Need more custom roms

we need more custom roms for the tmobile galaxy s3...
anyone else agree?

Start making some! Go around to other phone forums and start asking them to dev for us. Start giving out massive donations?

it's the most popular phone out right now(blew away even the iphone in terms of just sales). trust us, there'll be a huge rom selection. just give the developers some time. they do it for free during their spare time for our benefit, and only ask for donations.

I agree, actually, I think the hold up is jelly bean is fixing to be released and many devs are waiting for that, they don't want to spend alot of time on these older roms, frankly, I am waiting with serious anticipation Although CM10 is looking real good.

I think we need more variety, most of our ROMS are just tweaked stock ROMS with ugly, terrible themes. Everything else is CM10 or CM9 stuff. It would be nice to see some MIUI, Sense, FlymeOS or even just completely stock AOSP roms.

AOSP roms are stock cm9 and cm10... Sense and stuff would be nice, and there was a team working on it in the sprint section and they just died out, MIUI is reported to be in the works still... and don't call the themes people give you as an option "ugly" cause they work hard to get you something to flash, it isn't cool of you to just call them ugly and terrible lol.

We don't NEED roms! Fortunately our phone works very well on stock rom. I am all for custom roms and can't wait for miui and hopefully a sense Rom. Our phone is brand new just give it some time.
I also agree it's bad taste to call peoples work ugly. You don't like the themes don't flash em. Me personally I live the wicked red theme. Because I can't dev I can't make roms and what not so I am extra appreciative. Its not like people are getting paid to do it

Hey now, you can still be grateful and still have an opinion. For example, I appreciate the work put in on the Intrigue Rom, but I still find the icons to be in bad taste (some icons aren't meant to be blue IMO). That's just my opinion.

Yeah I've used launcher and noticed a lot of lag too. But my friend has an international gs3 and has miui on it and its pretty smooth. I just hope its the same on our device.
