Which roms for certain carriers? - HTC Wildfire S

Helping my buddy flash his virgin mobile wfs. After going through everything to get s-off, root, and custom recovery, we are stuck at which roms to flash. (was hoping for cm7, but no go with camera so far) Any recommendations?

Nothing other then stock but we will get CM7 soon and do a nandroid Backup for your buddy now just in case he flashes something he doesn't like

Yeah us cdma users don't have much development going on but there are a lot of people working in fully functional roms so try back next month to see if anything happened.but we have overclock kernels here if you need them

Don't really want to put him on that path yet, lol. But thanks. I wanted the cm7.2 that is in the development section, but alas, it is for gsm. Flashed it and got stuck at the HTC screen. Then found out that there were more carriers, so did more research and found the cm7 cdma port. But like me, he has family, and needs his camera. So I put him on a stock rom with root and the wonderful world of Go Launcher, lol. He will be good while they figure out the bluetooth and camera issues. Just hate he has to miss out on the CM7 coolness.

[Q] Anyone have a copy of UltimateDroid 3.3.0 ROM

Anyone have a copy of UltimateDroid 3.3.0 ROM or a link?
I keep reading great things about the ROM but cant find a copy.
Is anyone using it and what is it like?
Yeah I have one on my sd card still =). I dunno how to upload it to anything though but it was speedy. I liked it, just the lockscreen has that ultimate droid on it. I may even go back to it lol. If someone can tell me how to upload it I will.

Trust me...it is that good. Its stable and VERY speedy. I never had a sinlge issue with it. If it used the newer kernels id be on it still. It had this thing where you could download different boot animations fonts and everything, the servers have went down and the rom has become like the villainrom. I haven't even tried villainrom. I think the dev was in a flood or major thing happened and he has been rebuilding his life. Hopefully he comes back, I found out about it late.

Lol this keeps getting asked. Its a rom that's different. I'm not a developer so I truly can't tell you. I think its based off cm7. Its very speedy and what made it great was the ability to change boot animations, fonts, themes and all kinds of stuff on the fly. They were built in I should say. It was always stable for me and if it ran the new kernel id be on it for sure. You can't download that stuff anymore because his servers are down. He was in a natural disaster so I think thays why. I hope that helped. If not I know you can google the rom and see reviews and stuff.

Definitely abandoned. I'm calling bull$hit on the whole natural disaster thing. The whole project went under a lot of heat and then it suddenly all stopped. I don't see it coming back, but I'd love to try it if it did. I don't want to use an outdated ROM though, because there is no support or future hope for it.
Great rom thank you

[Question] CM7 Roms for Marvel a510c?

Since alquez is the only one working on a port and he clearly states
"The only fully supported phone variant atm is MARVEL.
MARVELC/MARVELCT owners need to be a little patient and do not flash this rom until it's fixed (unless they have some dev experience - it's the kernel)"
my anwser is 'no there isnt'.
I doubt there ever will be.

working stock is for sure better than buggy anything ... thought cdma marvel has support for data2sd, oc and stuff, right ? so its not like there isn't anything out there....
like when we had locked bootloaders
At the moment her phone is bone stock, so no goodies at all. I'll probably put Simon's rom on it in a few days, but I need to give it a break for a bit. She needs time to forgive me, and remember how bad stock sucks!

My epic touch is arriving tomorrow

Thanks for all the input last week guys. My new phone will be arriving tomorrow night! I plan on rooting immediately, what method is the best? Automated? Have there been any Samsung updates that break this method?
As far as modems goes, which one should I flash for the least amount of LoS issues? I've been hearing about two lately.
I plan on flashing cm7, dual booting if that is ready yet (I need gps sometimes). I understand there is a lot if drama recently but I just love cm and hope that he's got dual booting finished.
Lastly, what are these Odin counts that I have read about? Do they keep track of flashes for screwing you out of your warranty should something go wrong? Is there a way to reverse this?
What other roms would you recommend? I understand ics is a ways out.... That will be disappointing because I am rocking a very solid build on my Evo Shift....
I can't wait for tomorrow night!!!
Thanks again

Use sfhub's autoroot for quick and easy rooting. The EK02 OTA update and the EL13 leak have both helped people a lot with LOS issue. Many/most of the custom ROMs are now based off of EL13. All of the custom ROMs are pretty much fine tuned now with most of the good mods. The only thing you may need to add is 4g Hotspots hack

Oh wow that is good to hear! I used his hero rom back in the day... Also believe he was the first to get Gingerbread running. Had that running for a couple weeks until I "upgraded" to my Shift and was stuck with freakin sense and no permanent root for a few months...
Now that I have ics on my Shift I'll be temporarily stuck on gingerbread... This is truly great news! Darchstar is the man!

Try it stock for a few days just so you can get a feel for it.
This way if you Root it and something doesnt work you will at least know it worked on Stock.
GPS, WiFi, Los are examples.
I am on a stock ROM and my device is working great. No issues.
I got mine a few days before Christmas, and I am loving it. I am coming from the original HTC Evo 4G that I had since it came out. I ran CM on that for nearly the entire time I had that, so I was a little sad to see the E4GT did not have CM support. That being said, I am actually glad it did not have CM support because I have had to learn more about other ROMs, kernels, etc than I had to with CM.
I rooted right out of the box using the auto root method (stickied in the development thread).
I flashed the EL13 modem next and have had no issues.
I am now running Strongsteve's Odexed Blue ROM with the Rogue Desperado kernel v1.3.0.
I would post links, but I am not allowed to yet since my post count is so low.
To me, the phone is a lot snappier than my Evo 4G, and I have been generally pleased with it so far.
Awesome thanks for the info. I plan to run stock for a few days... It should be arriving over the next couple of hours. None of the Samsung updates break root right? I want to update it asap but don't want to lose access to root

I want to make a JellyBean rom!

There is a nandroid dump floating around and there are already custom roms out for other phones.
What would I have to do to convert the nandroid dump or a rom for another phone to our phones?
Could I use a 4.0 kernel in a 4.1 rom?
Also, if I flash a bad rom, I can still get into recovery and restore a good one, right?
Im new to this, but I would really like to contribute to this and maybe get a project started.
If anyone with some more experience could help answer any of my questions that would be great.

Sent from my HTC Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Port the dump to our phone. Install the port if you can. Flash one of aeros ICS kernals one top of that. And if it boots, you have started a project. If not......... it was worth a try.
Could brick your phone, but if you wanted to start somthing this would be my best guess.

Development is for roms, not talk or asking to make one.
I'll move this to general
if you have never made a stock rom before, let alone ported a rom...and if you arent familiar w/ modding the ramdisk and hacking up jars/apks and what libs do what......
then dont bother
(this isnt me being a jerk, just pointing out you have to walk before you can run a marathon)

I believe they are all great ROMs but there are some YOUR phone is gonna like more than others...that's the best answer I could give you. Luck homie.
That to me is an unaswerable question. Its like asking what undys should I wear today to your buddies. Not really a question anyone but yourself could answer lol.
Ok im teasing don't hate me lol. I guess what I mean to say is what ever rom feels that meets your needs.
I have flashed over 5 roms in the last 3 weeks and I finally found one that fits me. DS Rev.7.
I suggest to flash a few and see which one is your favorite. Or just keep flashing til you burn something out lol.
Hope this helps

I so agree with you bro.... the devs are just doing all of this for free. Which ever any of us use is just icing on their cake. To them it just means that their knowledge has paid off.
Too many choices out there to make one single decision. Carry 1-2-3-8 roms in ur card. Choose a diff one everyday of the week. And one day it will make its mark that the one your using will meet all your needs. Until then........ PLEASE!!!!! Read instructions and follow devs install guides. Their there for a reason. Don't be one of the many that post treads about how they didn't research and ended up with a paperweight.
Thats my .02¢
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I don't mean to sound politically incorrect here. But I don't think devs do this for us at all. If I had the talents to dev my main reason for developing would be my own personal gains in being able to improve the experience with that shiny new device I've been wanting. Then after I would upload my work for anyone else if they wish. Hopefully cash in some sweet donations if my work is THAT good. But I will never ever believe that devs do it "for us". All devs are hackers. And hackers all hack for the same reasons. Personal gain and attention. Just my 2 cents.
