I dont know how far i am saying it right im a noob but some questions going in my mind,
1. Is it possible to port a rom with samsung UI for wildfire?
2. If porting of rom is possible from galaxy mini to wildfire then i guess we might have a stable rom for ics
3. Some other phones have also attained stablility with their custom ICS versions so it would be a great option to port ICS from their built
-requesting your generous attention. :fingers-crossed:
1. By samsung ui do you mean touchwiz. Actually it may be possible but most people dont bother.
2. Actually for a rom to be stable the base rom should be perfect. Like our cm9 has native cancorder bug so it will be present in every cm9 based rom.
3. This is the same as no 2.

There are quite a few ROMs available, but one thing is not entirely clear to me. Why aren't there any clean AOSP ROMs for the Wildfire? I can understand it would be difficult to develop newer Android versions like Gingerbread that were never officially released for the Wildfire, but wouldn't it be relativly easy to compile a working ROM from the 2.2/2.2.1 source code? Or am I completely missing the point here?
It seems to me all the materials are available to pull this off without too much effort, right? The Kernel source is available from HTC and the Froyo source from our friends at Google.
From what I understand there are also some vendor specific issues that need to be solved, but the Cyanogen developers apparently have this solved already.
That pretty much covers everything right?
So my question would be, is it possible to easily build a clean version of Froyo for the Wildfire by doing the following:
1. Grab the kernel source from HTC and compile it (or just fuse a pre-compiled one seeing as there are quite a few available).
2. Compile the Android 2.2/2.2.1 source
3. Apply vendor specific fixes (assuming they don't have to be incorperated in the code directly).
4. Flash kernel + ROM, thereafter Gapps
5. win?
Basically something like Openfire without bugs. Which reminds me, wouldn't the video recording/SIM card issues be fixed with the official HTC kernel? In which case, I see little reason to try and compile the stuff by myself.
Ah well, I really really hope someone can enlighten me on this subject.
TL;DR: I want to create a basic a clean AOSP Froyo 2.2/2.2.1 ROM which should be easy right because we already have the required materials (proper HTC kernel -- or third party one, 2.2/2.2.1 source, cyanogen vendor fixes), so compile = good to go?

There is always CM7
Remember you use these at your own risk
Thank you for your reply, but it doesn't really address my questions. I am aware of the custrom ROMs available, none of them really meet my demands.
Cyanogenmod is an excellent ROM, but CM6 has some issues and CM7 is based of Gingerbread.
Utmost and Wildmix are both based on Openfire. The problem with Openfire is that it has a lot of internal stuff I don't really like. Seeing as Utmost and Wildmix are based on it those don't really float my boat either.
My eventual goal would be to create a clean AOSP like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162656
Unfortunately it's based on Gingerbread and not fully functional (yet!).
That is why I asked the questions that I asked. I'd rather do it myself from scratch, but in order to do any work I could really use an answer to my questions
Thanks anyways.

Got that after posting that
But gingerbread is much better than froyo and compatible to nearly all apps you can have

Anyway what's wrong with gingerbread??
I figured since 2.2.1 is the last available official version released it would be easier to get all hardware functioning properly. But if those new ginger AOSP projects fix the video recording bugs and get everything else fixed, ill gladly switch to it. Maybe ill use xdbg's (spelling?) ginger aosp as a base as soon ss the bugs are fixed.

Hey guys I just flashed a sense 4.0 ROM but the cam doesn't work I was wondering if I could use the drivers from the Stock ICS camera from the ROM that I was using (ICECREAM JIBWICH 2.0 ) because it has a woking camera ?
Well if you know how to pull the drivers from the stock rom and put them onto a custom rom go for it. But I have not had camera problems on either the CyanogenMod 9 beta 13, nor the EliteMod ICS rom I'm using now on my G2.
There is no stock ics rom for our phones. The camera that is working with some custom ics roms are patched/hacked and not yet 100% the only ones that work are all compilled from the same rom and will not work across a different base. If you have a sense rom that you like you need to have a hacked camera for that rom. If it were as easy as stealing a cm9 based camera mod and putting it in a sense rom it would be done by that rom developers by alapha.x
Until the drivers for ours or similar device is released we have to happy with what we get. And until then expect flaws

... use a different rom with it working well enough for your taste?
or wait untill the other HTC desire's (HD en S) get their official update to ics and the dev's port that to desire Z.
Hello guys...as every galaxy w owner wants best possible rom for his/her phone...people try switching between different ROMS and dont figure it out as some roms drain battery...some give fc's at while performing operations...so for those users (mostly noobs) ...best possible soultion is a stock rom...now mostly people say stock ROM is very much laggy...i had the same experience with my stock ROM...but now there is a new ROM Launched for Galaxy W XXLM8 Europe....this is very good as compared to other roms as it also brings some ICS features like Face Unlock...and is much smooth as compared to previous ROMS...
Following Link would help you with that...
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654643
And for those who wanna use custom Rom...Rebel Rom is a good option....and Cyanogen mod is also about to get its fifth update...so till it's fifth update...You can either use Rebel Rom or there are more that might get ur day good...!
As this is a guide for new users...so if anybody wants to ask any questions about his phone such as Rooting,CWM Recovery or Flashing Via Recovery or Odin....i am always there to help....Thanks

Hey guys ,
Im new to the Galaxy S III forums and I was just wondering based on testing/results which ROM would be best to run? There are so many out there that i'm just not sure which one to choose. I wouldn't mind a JB ROM but i'm just not sure how stable they are. Please let me know what ROMs have been working out best for you guys.
Thanks,
Indian
if you want a very stable rom, go with triune II its an ics based rom, and if you want a stable jb rom go with smartguys rom
If you don't mind losing touchwiz (I don't like it...but some do) then CM 10 is very stable and fast. It is jellybean based.

Hello.
My friend asked me to reflash his Desire Z, so I'm looking for some stable daily ROM (ICS or higher).
For now I chosen:
MIUI 4.2.28 multi
AOSP 4.2.2 Jelly Baby (really not sure about this ROM)
Sensei 1.3.0
Sabsa Prime v15
any other tips?
Thanks
Normally best dd ROM questions are not to be asked, but I assume sense you are doing this for a friend you won't easily be able to flash a bunch and try them out as what is normally suggested
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You will find a list of all ROMs here, many will say the most stable and fastest ROMs will be gingerbread based as that's as far as HTC brought this device. But many 4.x ROMs are quite nice for dds
Best recommendation is to flash a couple of the "more popular" ROMs and make nandroid of each and place on SD card, then instruct your friend how to easily change between them so s/he can decide for themselves what is best

Thanks for reply.
I know that it's not possible to say one ROM, but on the other hands always exist ROM which can't be marked as very stable (e.g. KitKats build now)
I really missed your list, thanks for info
(Because I already found some list, but it wasn't updated for a long time)
Anyway thanks for you work
BTW the first 3 ROMs has same link in your list
