Hello fellows, just wanted to ask if there is any way to bring ICS soft buttons to a Gingerbread rom, specifically Oxygen. Though I like ICS roms, they are still sort of unstable from my experience and tend to reboot exactly when I really need the phone -.- So I prefer the speed and stability of GB roms but my hardware buttons are really barely hanging on and thus I might be forced to switch again to ICS which I don't want to atm. I found the button saviour app which is nice but doesn't really do the same job as original ICS soft keys. Any help is apreciated!

Lol...
Title says it all...
What rom are u running?
And if u want to say why, go ahead lol
Thanks =)
There is new thread like this (what is the best/most stable/your favorite ROM) created about once or twice a week. So you can just use the search function to find a bunch of opinions without have to wait for people to reply to this one.
Personally, I'm back to Bell stock/shipped ROM with Godspeed kernel. Its the only combination I've tried so far that seems to be completely free of SODs for me (screen of death, screen randomly won't turn on no matter what, unless you pull the battery). But this seems to be a fairly uncommon issue (and not yet solved) that most people don't need to worry about. The stock ROM is also plenty stable, and the Sense camera app is better than Android stock.
Virtuous is good if you want a clean (no bloat) Sense Froyo ROM. Very stable, but not much different than stock Sense, aside from some optimizations and a few added features like trackpad button wake. Lots of people like CM7. Cool if you want the latest and greatest Gingerbread features, and CM extras. But it still has a few annoying bugs.
Mods, can this thread either be locked or merged with the other threads similar to this? Thanks.
im using meXdroidMod meXperia remeX
its just awesome, experia arc merged with cm nightly, just is fantastic
Hi all im a noob at the whole flashing roms thing.
i have flashed leedroids newest rom 3.0.3 which as i understand is based on the leaked gingerbread.
i thought i read somewhere that gingerbread was supposed to get a revamped keyboard but leedroid still has the same keyboard as froyo.
so my question is
are there any roms out there that has the new revamped keyboard?

Sorry, not exactly what you're looking for but I like LeeDroid ROM so in an effort to get you to keep it....
You can download it from the market. It's called something like "Keyboard from Gingerbread"
thanks i like leedroid but as i said i am just new to this so am going to try other roms 1st before settling on one. i was just wondering if anyone knew of one that had gingerbread keyboard
If you are not fussed about sense try an AOSP ROM like CM7 Cyanogen.
The sense ROMs use the HTC keyboards.

sorry should have mentioned yea i like sense.
ive just tried a rom that was supposed to have sense 3.0 in but was a bit laggy so back on leedroid atm
It is a great ROM. But like I said, you could always download the Gingerbread Keyboard app. Not perfect but is one solution.
I always treat Sense ROM's as something you have to make sacrifices with (as a fan of non-sense ROMs) and that's why CM7 runs on my phone a LOT more often than LD's.
i tryed gingerbread keyboard but like swypekey which i previously used it has no navigation keys. i have settled on leedroid and am playing with different themes now.
i have also purchased thumb keyboard because it was the only keyboard with navigation keys that i could find.
thank you for your help

That thumb keyboard does look good.
Swift has arrow keys but they are in a sub section (pressing "alt").
Good luck with it all, sorry couldn't have been better news.
I didn't see them but I only tried the 1 month trial. I like this keyboard as it has the navigation keys and i like the number pad in landscape mode
hey guys i am having a hard time finding the rom i really want it either leaves one of the features out or is too laggy. currently i am on a team-nocturnal g.b. rom. the features i want in a rom is non sense i hate sense it always resets on me. i also want a volume rocker wake option, i have tiny fingers i also want 4g i pay for it so why the hell not. and some theming options i have not yet found one the best one so far i have found is cwm however there is absolutely no theming if there is, it is not to my flavor any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Might I suggest AOSP? Perhaps Deck's? You can find different flashable themes in Evo Themes and Apps for it or download some from the Market. No Sense, has 4G, and you can find the volume rocker setting in Advanced Settings.

Don't mean to be smart-ass, but you sound too picky. Cant possibly eat the cake and have it too.
You will need to find a rom with most of your wanted features, possibly an AOSP one like cyanogenmod 7 as you dislike sense.
The theming part is comparatively easier, so find one that has all the features and apps you need. Then get one of the many themes out there for the T-mobile theme engine on the market/xda or help yourself to the UOT kitchen.
At times the ones that suit your flavour might need you to buy the dev some beer, and its worth it.
Was going to originally post this in the actual ROM thread but I just made my account so it wouldn't let me. I'm wondering how (if even possible) I would go about getting rid of the virtual buttons under the dock (back, home, recent apps). They take up a lot of space on the screen and are incredibly unnecessary when I already have hardware buttons. I looked everywhere so I figure its either not an option or I'm blind. Is it an Apex setting or what?
I know there are a couple other JB roms that don't have these virtual buttons that I have flashed but this one hands down has the best features and is the most smooth not to mention the working camera. The only other camera mod is preludedrews and that one has very limited customization so I would prefer to stick with this one.
bump!
Hmm, working camera, soft keys? What ROM are you on? You may still be on an ICS ROM.
Correct me if I'm wrong

No there are new BlackBean roms that have cameras working at 8mp and onscreen controls (which I hate). Search for BlackBean. He has a Baked and AOKP
Sent from my EVO 4G Supersonic
I was curious if there are any roms or if its even possible to have a rom that has CM/AOKP look and feel but retains some stock samsung features...Something that has the best of both worlds. I love the CM10/AOKP type roms for the look but hate that i loose the touchwiz gallery,and keyboard(the numbers above the qwerty specifically). other than that i wish there was an option to enable/disable bootup sounds at will. some of the rom replacement startup screens are awesome but arent the same without the sound. I personally dont mind waitng an extra 3 seconds to boot up.
And just to simply state, i hope this doesnt come off as whining or me bashing any roms, thats not my intent, rather just an inquiry..
Keyboard....
