UPDATE!! Ric is back on board and actively working on Azrael 4.0!!! THIS IS INDEED GREAT NEWS! I am going to leave this thread open just to continue showing my support for his work and would appreciate it greatly if every Azrael user continues to show support here in case he ever needs to be reminded again. Thanks to all that contributed in persuading him to continue developing this awesome Rom!
So Ricsim78 has recently posted in his thread for the Azrael Rom that due to too many complaints to his Rom that he may or may not end up hanging up the towel for good and ending the development of his Roms. Personally this saddens me. So i ask here.....Do you use any of the Azrael ROMS?? Did you use one and switched due to issues?? Should he continue to build his ROMS??? Read his original post .......

I am going to make a few different versions of Azrael X Final, keep this thread updated as progress is made, but I think I have been shown the way by the community here.
I appreciate all the people who do support me. I am forever grateful but I am pretty disgusted by the acts of some people on here. There are lots of ROM options here, so I am sure there is a good new one to pick up.
Nothing lasts forever; maybe my decision will reverse, maybe not. But as it stands, I begin work on one final release of Azrael X. It will be called just that and may well be my last public release of my ROMS."""""
Some may have issues with his Rom but i have not experienced any of these issue nor have any of the other 15+ HTC EVO's that I have flashed his Rom to. Plenty have requested that he use a different base for his Rom. I disagree with this as well. His Rom is plenty fast and plenty stable and if you have problems with how he makes his stuff.....try something else or learn how to develop your self. Its that simple. There are PLENTY of other options to chose from. If your like me and your incapable of developing your own stuff....take what you cant get and thank these fantastic developers that do everything they can to make our good phones the best phones they can be.
IF YOU VOTE ANYTHING OTHER THAN YES, PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND POST YOUR REASONS HERE. PLEASE LIST ANY BUGS YOU EXPERIENCED. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT PARTICIPATE.
I will only use Azrael roms....Ric's support for his roms is secound to none!!!!

yea you said it. 10 fold.
Yess!!! Thats what im talkin about!!! Everyone show your support for this amazing rom here and maybe, just maybe we can convince him all his hard work has not been in vain!!!! (cross your fingers azrael lovers!!) thanks guys!!
Ok so I flashed my Evo about a month ago and I tried a few different ROMs and I have been on Az's for the whole time. I love it and won't flash anyone else's ROMs now. Please don't go Az.
Ric should do what makes him happy. I did however vote for how much I like his work though and the selfish part of me wants him to keep making them. If he were to ask me, which he hasn't of course, I would say to always listen with an open mind, but not to ever worry or sweat about what the negative folks have to say and concentrate instead on enjoying the process of his work and the majority of us who enjoy it. Here's to you Ric, thanks for everything that you've done so far, I will appreciate it and you no matter what.
I personally don't use his ROMS but I do think losing a Dev from the community because of a few bad apples is poor form. It's too bad he feels this way and I think this thread is an awesome show of support!
I love his roms. I personally love the way sense looks and he keeps that look. Its snappy reliable and awesome on battery life. I hate animations and this rom has the best ones I've ever seen. I use the phone heavily and at 11pm it still has 40% on the stock battery. Everyone says there rom has great battery life and they don't but AZs Rom does. I would like him to continue his dev work but if he must go then that's that. And we should remember his awesome work.

I have been a supporter since the day I rooted my phone. I have had no issues at all and definitely hope he changes his mind. Excellent work and thanks for your passion.
It is my ROM of choice and now use it exclusively.
I love the X rom...
I think the trouble most people have is from the different kernels. I run his rom with the stock #15 kernel. It's the only one that flies on my Evo. Any other kernel sucks!
I use it, and its the only rom ive had NO problems with. Id be very disappointed to see the development of this rom stop.
Az I used 3 other roms before flashing yours, and yours is the one that I liked best. I tried a few of the other roms from the devs that I liked on my hero but I didn't like theirs as much as I love yours. So if you do decide to go please add me to your mailing list. I would be honored.
P.S. I check every day to see if you have posted an updated rom.
Take care my friend

I have never used Azrael's ROM, but that's just because I've been stuck on a different ROM for a while now, and haven't strayed from it yet. It saddens me to hear of this, possibly losing a dev from the community. I love having so many options for different ROMs, and I find them all to be great, and have different tweaks and features that fit different scenarios. I have never heard anything bad about Azrael's ROM, just the oppositte actually, people praising it. I am not up to par on the type of comments people were saying about it, that prompted his (for free!!!) decision, but I find that terrible. People should show nothing but respect and support for the devs here, and the hard work that they put in. And as far as I know, it seems that most of the devs here work together, and trade info and what not. I hope that people step up and show him support so that his decision can be reversed.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and that is what the thread voting and rating system is intended for. BUT there is a very small handful of members here that need to learn to show some respect! Life isn't perfect and neither is each and every custom ROM. Those who down rate a ROM thread because they have some technical difficulties are morons!
I have yet to see a ROM thread where the dev does not ask the community to please report any issues you find. So how can anybody be so dumb and down rate just for spite?
Rick, I can totally understand how you must feel to put a ton of pride and effort into this nice custom ROM to have it all crushed by a few idiots who can't see past their own selfish moronic ego's. It's a shame these members can't somehow disappear and take their ungrateful selves far from this community and never come back! They will surely continue this childish behavior on other ROM threads. This community would be much much better off without this small handful of ungrateful [email protected][email protected]$!!! Please forgive my French...
Do what you think is best Rick, I totally understand. My advice is to sleep on it a few days and start over... there's always new things coming down the pipes and mabe one day you'll feel better about your much appreciated work. Don't let a couple of dumb punks distract you. We all know your work is at the very top of the list without a doubt. Those couple of spiteful members casting bad votes means nothing to this community. Believe me we ALL know you are the real deal when it comes to your work and awesome support!
Yes and i have never had a problem with his Roms. Hope he never leaves. Rick you rule!
a few words
I've been a longtime Lurker who does not post anything but I had to give this man some much needed appreciation. Hands down this Rom is the best that I have tried here. Its silky smooth while maintaining speed and awesome battery life. I really hope he decides to keep developing but I cant fault him for choosing not to. By the way I just donated to you ric. Hope this helps out the coffee fund.
The ONLY issue I had with his 3.0 rom was the tethering. Not the hotspot but the Android tethering. To this day Im not to sure what happened with it as it just quit on me one day. I didnt blame the rom itself if people read my posts, but I also know I sure as hell wouldnt vote someone down (whatever that is actually lol).
My little brother was talked into (by me), into using his 3.1 and he loves it,cept the android tethering is not working for him either. So other then the tethering issues (which im now leaning more towards rom issue, as im now running Mik and its working again flawlessly), his works been pretty awesome.
Hey guys, sorry if this has already been brought up or not. If this has, I'm very sorry but it's early in the morning and I had a bad dream, lol.
I'm excited about the official GB update and I know the actual OTA update has everything working, like the brightness and camcorder working, but I got an email from Evo Hacks and they mentioned the rooting method being different. I really don't feel like dealing with all that. I'm dealing with a lot of medical issues and haven't really been feeling very well lately. I'm too excited and can't stand having too late anymore.
I know there are many ROMs out there running the update already but I've also seen things about brightness problems and camcorder controls not working. Can anybody tell me if there are any ROMs that have EVERYTHING working and would be sweet to start off with? I'd like to find one really stacked with goodies like sd speed tweak and definitely the camcorder working. I don't know if I could live without it, lol.
Once again, I apologize if I sound lazy, that's not the case at all. Thanks everyone, I do appreciate it.

What you're looking for doesn't exist yet, in a full release. There are some Beta's, but you have to give the Dev's more than a day to cook up something that's fully functional, tested, re-tested, bugs worked out, etc....

I remember skimming through the development forum, the night it was released, and I know there were several new ROMs launched that evening. I was in such a hurry that I wasn't paying attention as to whether or not any of them were fully functional. I don't really have time to check right now but I could have swore that there was at least one. Who knows with my memory these days, lol.
I just figured I'd throw the question out there. If there aren't, maybe once some are released fully functional, somebody will remember about my thread and give me a heads up.
Okay, so I really am not a complete noob lol, BUT I've heard that the jelly bean update made certain methods unusable, and frankly I have a policy of being well read and informed before screwing around with my phones. I was well versed with odin, recovery, flashing whatever i could get my hands on lol. But this is a new phone and I want to be educated, so could someone please walk me through some things. first of all which method works for a new jelly bean, I noticed a thread with a one click stock with root and a deodex option. is this where I want to be. How do I grab a custom recovery. Is it similar to the epic where once i have recovery and root i can just flash appropriate mods roms,kernels from recovery? Is there a good walk through some place that's relevant to the new jelly bean update. I was all excited to jump in, i downloaded the latest odin and drivers and then started seeing some posts about older methods causing soft bricks on jelly bean, and being humility is a good policy I thoght I'd come here, chill out for a night and follow the lead of those wise than I haha!
I can understand it,so no need to baby me, but i would love for some thorough reading links, places with good info. I would ordinarily spend half the night searching ever last link, and did look a little and find how to get into download mode, but frankly I'm sick and suffering with some MS like issues they are trying to nail down and my eyes go in and out of focus at times, dizzy, and already have a spinal cord being hollowed out from the inside out and have ALS symptoms (i have syringomyelia), so not to whine whine, it is what it is, but i just wanted to say I'm not trying to be lazy as I've seen since back on sdx days with the moment, people popping in, not doing their homework and *****ing and whining for hand holding lol, it's just not as easy as it used to be to stay up and just learn myself when my eyes refuse to keep going and I have the kiddies and too many classes. So I'm hoping a generous person(s) could help guide me a little?? I would really appreciate it. I've always had a slide phone I liked being able to edit from recovery from the keyboard, create symbolic links, move thing etc. It just felt like I had more control over the phone, so this is my first attempt at a purely touch phone, but really 2 years on the epic and I was starting to not even care that it was running like junk i was so bored. I had gone through every MTD rom and just bored haha so here I am guy and gals...guide me wise yodas! and an extra thanks to all the work I saw people involved in. It truly blows my mind, the most i ever did was modify a malfunctioning apps2sd mod for the moment to make it work, by following the logic from the original development and fixing the permissions in the link...haha and that's rather pathetic to what i see being done all over, so hats off, buy ya a red bull, beer or whatever many thanks! let the S3 games begin! where are good info posts to aquaint me, what is this flash count thing all about? what methods for jelly bean, recovery, etc...and many thanks. I really love these communities and I can't tell you how hard i try to get my i phone friends on over to here haha...you guys are a great bunch!

I came from the epic 4g touch and it was kind of a mess because of the emmc bug. This phone is easy to work with though. Look up qbking77 on YouTube also he has a video on how to root and reviews for about every ROM I think.
This message brought to you by my SPH-L710 aka Sprint Galaxy S3 on CM10 using Tapatalk 2
Most of all, Welcome to the family, Use the search function, if you can't find an answer, We will help! This community is wonderful and helpful. As was stated Qbking77 has some of the most helpful reviews/how-tos around.
I will admit to being a complete noob when it comes to rooting/flashing phones, and the GS3 was my first attempt. The guides and videos mentioned in the above posts are what I used to learn what to do with the GS3. I was shocked at how easy it is! I did read, and then read again the many posts concerning rooting/flashing before I did it myself, but the process is a piece of cake.
I will add this though: when you have chosen a ROM that suits you, please check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968724. You can use Morphology to really make your GS3 unique, and very much "your" phone!
Love that you came from moment, to Epic 4G and SG3 as did I!! Check out Team Veniums Roms Daze does really good work and always updating them!!

Thanks everyone. I I greatly appreciate the warm welcome to S3...it is an amazing phone... Sorry for delay we had a family emergency and now i have a 6 months old for the night lol but I am excited to read through the suggested places. I bet this phone is so snapy when tweaked! I its so cool to see if am no alone in moment to epic etc lol I honestly have had no desire to look at an HTC or other information just loved the waythe sSamsung was set up, and could 3 finger it while driving with my knee wipe and flash a new baby haha maybe not safe but it was that effortlessly maybe once a Samsung lover always a Samsung lover I I'll have to let you know how it all works out when I'm does with emergency baby duty... Night all! I and thanks and feel free to anyone in to throw out any thoughts... My goal is to know every rom and kernel development mod by next semesters start haha
so diff from epic...what is best procedure for wiping? when flashing
So I feel a little lost in TW recovery. On my epic most OP clearing listed the proper procedure, davlik x3, cache x3, and occassionally data x3. simple. Well I go into the wipe section of this new recovery and frankly I'm guessing lol. My phone has been acting super junking since i rooted and flashed a rom. I wanted to try out some other modems because sprint is sucking up all over western mass....and half the modems told me no sim card. Even when i went back and flashed the all in one fimrware/modem for jelly bean, my data was all screwed practically non existent. I did a davlik wipe in between Went back to flashing a rooted near stock rom after basically wiping everything haha, except for my external card. because i really don't know what the appropriate procedure is. The epic CMW seemed pretty straight forward and the OP's either listed the procedure or it was assumed, everything times 3
so basically I am wondering if someone can direct me with the TW recovery, when flashing a new rom and wanting a nice clean install, what do i need to wipe
also if flashing something like the modem picker zip, or just flashing a modem myself, or a mod, what needs to be wiped.
I don't know if the LJ7 modem just wasn't playing nice with the FREEGS3 latest rom, but it was so screwed up i was bummed, and I did read thoroughly, swamped my CWM recovery,
I noticed a post that listed fix permissions in procedure, then others that don't, and I'm a big fan of knowing what the F*** I'm doing before screwing with my phone, so I'm aggrivated with the seeming ambiguity . If anyone can listed some 101 for the S3, for flashing, what needs to be wiped, when i need to fix permissions etc. I'd be very grateful. I'm scanning through 1300 pages of one thread and want to shoot myself due to headache. And everything I look at isn't working today HAHA, dish TV bombed and will be down a week. My asus (unrooted, stock) transformer is being a punk, and my Boxee just decided it's not working too...awesome day, need a snappy working phone to perk me up, so going to ODIN back to stock , root and wait for a little direction on procedure for cleanest install, before screwing with a rom
any thoughts between Peoples or FREEGS3? I like both, but I feel like FREEGS3 calls to me, lol, maybe I shouldn't admit those things outloud.
Ok so here we go. There are a whole lot of fantastic ROMS out there. But how come none have the whole package. I've seen roms out there with multiview; some with page buddy; some with the Note 2 keyboard, etc. But none with them all.
Is this hard to do. If i could learn how to develop roms i sure would make this. Maybe this is impossible, maybe not.
So here is the challenge: (and its probably not a challange)
We have MB1 odexed and deodexed. That can be our base. after that we can implemnt a number of tested and working mods, to include, but not limited to the ones outlined above. After that we can use morphology or whatever app we want to theme and customize this rom. Not everyone likes the Note 2 keyboard or multiview. But some of us like them all. Or maybe just want them just because we can have them.
So what do you think. Please, if you read this leave a response telling what you would love to have in your rom. Maybe we can get a rom call something like your rom that all the devs can contribute to based on this thread.
THANKS:laugh:

correct you are and i just noticed the spelling. sorry.
However correct as you are. Im gonna give you a scenario:
I am on a rom now that has the note 2 keyboard, great battery life, and overall is a great rom. But i tried to flash the multiview mod and it broke the contacts and dialer. The mod worked but after i installed i couldnt dial a number to call out. Dirty flased the rom and all is well now, but no multiview.
I was on another rom. It had multiview and page buddy, but no note 2 keyboard. Now when i flashed the note 2 keyboard mod, it didnt work. The mod seemed to work for international only, not ours.
I am something like a noob although ive been flashing since the first galaxy s1 and i have had all three since then and other galaxy variants. I just think this would be a fun project for us ALL to work on and it would be something that wouldnt end.
Sorry if i offended you with my spelling and/or my challEnge.

you know what guys... nevermind. Everyone making me feel stupid. I was just thinking that it would be a way to incorporate all the WORKING mods in one place as opposed to all over xda. Instead i get a bunch of people making me feel stupid. I found zips for the note 2 keyboard but none of them worked for the us version. Thanks though for the link to the one that came out last week.
I remember when i first signed up for xda i read somewhere that everyone in the forum is friendly.
Anyway ill leave the thread up for a few hours then ill take it down. I supposed i offended quite a few people with my stupid idea.

It's not that it's a stupid idea, just it's been asked a million times before. What happens is that devs bust there butts for free to give us roms. It's not easy being a dev. I'm not a dev by any means but I know it's not easy.
p.s. Don't say you don't know anything about being a dev, send out a challenge then use words like "we" and "our" when you would have no actual dev help.

Don't worry about it, man. Truth is, many people on xda are no talent assholes that get their jollies by berating others. I'm not sure why its the case.
I think this is a good idea but I also agree with strongsteve, perhaps you could try to build it yourself. I have thought to myself, if only I could have a ROM with x, y and z it would be perfect. However, I'm far too busy to learn coding and ROM building right now so I make do with what's available.
I know how you feel about the people around here, I asked a simple question about a certain mod in a ROM thread and was belittled and basically ostracized from that specific community. I don't let it bother me after all, at the end of the day its just an internet forum about phones.

This.... Is the reason that people get so irritated here. This isnt a solution to the issue the person posted... A proper response isnt just telling the op to learn to code. You are on a forum that you are obviously quite active on, providing helpful responses seem to be the common thing to do.
I understand where the op is coming from, and i have ran into this issue many times with many different roms across many phones. Heres my solution to you. Rather then use your base rom as a stock unodexed rom. Would i seem to find to be the best workaround would be to use CM as your base. You are far more likely to have the CM Team push out a version of CM to which ever device you are using. From there you can request certain features and mods tailored to CM. You can then create a supplemental mod section for that version of CM, similar to how we have a morphology section, and have a list of flashables. If you are decent enough you can even create a kitchen or make an updater just for cm that flashes these mods. From there you can create individual titanium backups and re-flash those backups each time you update your CM version.
Your issue that you have with certain roms only being tailored to certain people isnt new. This is the "advantage" that apple fanboys seem to boast about is how all the Iphones can download Any program that anyother stock Iphone has. They claim Fragmentation i call it tailored preferencing. I personally find the note keyboard bulky and i hate it, i am true to swype as im more familiar with it so regardless the rom im on i always just install my swype APK.
I figure this would help out a bit, although i provided no clear solution other then say its a bit easier to tailor a mod to a rom then a rom to a mod.

This.... Is the reason that people get so irritated here. This isnt a solution to the issue the person posted... A proper response isnt just telling the op to learn to code. You are on a forum that you are obviously quite active on, providing helpful responses seem to be the common thing to do.
I understand where the op is coming from, and i have ran into this issue many times with many different roms across many phones. Heres my solution to you. Rather then use your base rom as a stock unodexed rom. Would i seem to find to be the best workaround would be to use CM as your base. You are far more likely to have the CM Team push out a version of CM to which ever device you are using. From there you can request certain features and mods tailored to CM. You can then create a supplemental mod section for that version of CM, similar to how we have a morphology section, and have a list of flashables. If you are decent enough you can even create a kitchen or make an updater just for cm that flashes these mods. From there you can create individual titanium backups and re-flash those backups each time you update your CM version.

Thanks for this post. I didnt think anyone would understand where i was comming from. I wasnt asking for a rom, just for maybe a thread or somthing with all possible mods. That way we could use what we want. I personally like the note keyboard, page buddy, and multiview. But there arent any roms out there with all three. And until I made this thread i couldnt find a working note 2 keyboard that worked for our us versions.:good:

You don't really need a thread with all these mods grouped together. A thorough search would likely land you the apks or zips you're looking for.

Tbo having a thread dedicated to mods is a great idea that way it would be easier to find mods your looking for it would also help clean up all the thread in the development section as well which make it more focus on roms. Now about search I'm sure a lot of the people on this board use xda from the app which has been a known fact for a very long time to be not very useful. Op great post love the idea.
I love the 90s. Good times.
Now, a thread with all the mods wouldnt be helpful.... HOWEVER a wiki page that lists that particular rom and all the mods that are availible to it that links back into the thread for each mod actually sounds like a viable solution...

you know what guys... nevermind. Everyone making me feel stupid. I was just thinking that it would be a way to incorporate all the WORKING mods in one place as opposed to all over xda. Instead i get a bunch of people making me feel stupid. I found zips for the note 2 keyboard but none of them worked for the us version. Thanks though for the link to the one that came out last week.
I remember when i first signed up for xda i read somewhere that everyone in the forum is friendly.
Anyway ill leave the thread up for a few hours then ill take it down. I supposed i offended quite a few people with my stupid idea.

It's cool man, don't feel bad.
The thing is, everyone's kind of bought into this dev-worship thing and interrupting their circlejerk is definitely a no-no. Unfortunately, it has become a common position to hold that you should shut up, take what you're given, and if you're not happy, learn to do it yourself. This is a fine position when it comes to literally complaining or bashing devs for not implementing 'X' feature...But it has been taken to an extreme by some devs, and most users, that any asking for features be met with harsh criticism and intolerance. Fall in line, take what you're given.
Of course, this is an absurd position to take, one they don't accept in any other facet of their life.
What no one seems to have realized is that, aside from the use of the world challenge, your post wasn't at all contentious. I apologize, on behalf of those of us who are still willing to think, for how the people in this thread have treated you.
As an aside, a genuine thank you to the devs who don't take any chance to jump down the throat of a user who is simply asking for specific features in a rom.
To actually answer the OP...
The closest you would get be to compile the flashable zips of all the features you like for yourself
Put the Note 2 keyboard, multiview, and any other mod that you want into a zip and just have it handy for yourself, thats the best you can do short of porting the remaining stuff over haha
As things go popping up, which I'm sure they will, you can go on adding them to your zip
I can't do this techy stuff so I will sub the work out to someone else. As the title says,I want to improve my Epic 4g Touch. Things I have had done are flashing the phone for Pageplus and getting SU/Root Explorer,as well as JB 4.1.2 GB27. Would like to spice it up a notch or two.What could I be doing with this phone to bring it to a new updated custom platform? I hear cyanogen being referred to often but I don't know.If I keep updating the phone it would be almost like getting a new phone each time without having to get one.Thanks
Well...now you should find some Roms that are suited towards the style you are looking for.
There are a lot of awesome developers in our forums. Too many to list....but you are correct in saying that the changing of custom Roms does give the feel of a new device.
Just take the time to make sure you read all the OP of whichever you decide to do.
This particular ROM is my current daily...very stable and very cust.
Good luck and enjoy the forum...its awesome here

I am liking Project X black and blue V2 myself.
Overall not a bad rom, with decent battery life if you load the comodose 3 mod.
I did have to switch out the dialer though. The included one was just not my thing.
Also the older gmail here is very nice to go with it.
This is just a bit too close to a Best ROM type thread. If you wish to improve your device, read, read, read, read again, learn, read some more, and then make a decision based on the information you've gathered.
We do not allow Best ROM threads because everyone has a differing experience and opinion, what works great for me may not for you...
Thread Closed.
