[Q] Rom options for noob with specific needs

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.

Thanks for explaining!
So, just place the kernel on the root of the sd, and flash with CWR?

Sounds like me!
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

I just flashed this ROM today... and I'm still playing around with it... but is it missing the Voice software that my stock came with? (Voice instructions... Driving mode... Ect)... I installed the Google files suggested...
Also, I'm not seeing Swipe at all...

Swype isn't there, I just signed up for the Swype Beta and got it back...the keyboard on this version of Swype is actually preferable to stock imo

Awesome!! Thanx so much for the quick reply...

Cm will be missing alot of extras that came with our phone... but extra customization features that didn't..
Personally I like touchwiz and tw framework apps like the camera and mms app so I stick with roms based of stock.. still fast and look great..
That is till miui drops

Is this your first time using CM? It's the most barebones rom you can get, there won't be any extra software installed like on other roms. It's basically just the core files needed for the phone to operate plus some tweaks & customization options, so you'll have to manually add things like Swype and Driving mode. This is what *I* love about CM though, it's almost like a 'build your own rom' deal.

I'll stick with TW based roms, might try out MIUI. Using the stock android camera, calendar...no thanks. The TW roms are just as fast. I noticed nothing working faster running the CM7 build which is the usual want from everyone at the expense of good looking and more features(not tweaks).
I just flashed CM9 on my Nexus S, it's meh.

Well then welcome to the wonderful, addictive world of Android If you like to customize then stick with CM7. It's pretty safe to assume that development for this phone is gonna be very good. There are a lot of themes on the market, just search "CM7 theme".

If you don't want tw, wait for miui. Theme chooser sucks. Miui destroys everything as far as theme customization goes. You can mix and match parts of different themes.

Ohhhh.... Intrigued!!! I like the sounds of that!

i wanted to find a rom that was NOT heavily themed, but performed very well and had good battery and such, and wanted to know also if i found one, could i have the touchwiz 5 on it?

I don't know about TW5, but give The People's Rom a go.
If you desire a custom look, then either flash a compatible theme or use a 3rd party launcher and their themes.

I really like miui either ginger or ideally V4 ICS they both have a theme button you can download tons of different themes and then go with ADW or Apex launchers and Launcher 7 is fun once you tweak it a bit
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

oops, i meant not heavily themed, but miui is nice

Did you want AOSP or TouchWiz based? I suggested a TW rom based off your comment to want TW5.
If you're looking for something flexible, clean & battery life then pretty much any of the following:
Here's your list to try out.
AOSP based:
CM7 (Gingerbread)
CM9 (ICS)
AOKP (ICS)
MIUI v2.1.6 (Gingerbread)
MIUI v4.x (ICS)
TW based (Gingerbread):
The People's Rom [FC09]
Clean GB [EL30]
Cut & Paste Rom [FC09]
SleeperRom [FC09]
RandomRom Thunderhawl v5.1 [FC09]

Quite frankly and its funny coming from me but i think STOCK is honestly better than shadow and yours and Samurai's. Used to before on GB it was the other way around.

Personally I love AOKP CM9 build 39 is decent and on play store you can get quite a few like motoblur, touchwiz, and blueinfintium is a nice minimalistic that I prefer. Infintium has pink, orange, blue, black ect

Best GB rom w/theme support?

Right now I'm on some random rom. Don't even remember what. But.I'm rooted and clear for flashing.
I don't want ICS or JB, because the battery usage is ridiculous. GB works just fine, I suppose..
Now, I like themes.. I especially hate that the notification bar is black. I like my phone to have a good theme to it..

I've been on ICS roms with this phone for some time now, but when I first rooted my phone and exclusively stuck to GB roms until I was a little more comfortable with everything, my favorite was Blazer 4.0 and I also recall it having quite a few themes out there to choose from. As far as overall performance and variety of themes, that's the one that sticks out in my mind.

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.

Nice to see another one of your ROM's

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.
