Ok after browsing all these ROMS and basically starting to get a headache lol, can anyone recommend a rom thats stock froyo (or close to as I use the football app and the nascar app etc) that also allows me to tether wifi. Ive probably looked at over 7 roms maybe more and they all seem custom in some way shape or form which im not interested in. I did look at the stock rooted 2.2 but I dont think it suits my needs, unless theres something im missing about tethering

Once you are rooted, the wireless tether application for root users will work on every rom. You can use any stock rom of your liking and then add the wireless tether app from the market and you will be all set.
Wow! Seriously?! Why in dev section?! I'm sorry to be rude but I'm getting tired of ppl always posting non-developing stuff on the DEVELOPMENT section. I almost never comment but I'm tired of this.
Please, next time post it on the Q&A section.
Thanks.
Edit: I'll be glad to help if mods move it to Q&A.
Stock froyo like sense 2.2 rooted? There's that option, if you mean like stock android froyo ala 2.2 there is CM6

OP,
I understand your headaches since I am basically wanting the same thing. But after a little looking around, think that the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 is what you are looking for. They use to have a thread on just ROMs, how they have been modified, etc.
Also krazyconejo, maybe this is a way for a developer to help out a user? I know that the developers love to have their ROMs used, or at least some input instead of jumping on a guy, maybe you should strongly suggest for future education. Sometimes it is better to coach a fellow member than hit him over the nose with a rolled up news paper (figuritively speaking) - without being disrespectful to you.
Krazy..ive spent the past few hours searching and reading this section of the forums, so excuse me for posting here and upsetting you lol. Since this is a question about ROMS specifically and this section has them all listed, I felt it would be better answered here, then in a general Q&A section. I tend to value the replies I get in a specific forum topic more then a general one
like I said before I usually don't say anything and just ignore it. But if I come to the developing section, I expect to see that and not waste my time with this.
As for OP sorry for being mean but if you would had posted this in the right place, I'm petty sure someone would had helped.
*Not gonna respond anymore. OP if you still help pm me and let's just let this thread die.
Thanks.
if you want the football and nascar app...just flash any rom and install those apks.

Sorry, I didn't get past this part. I'm still too busy reeling from the discovery that someone actually uses those two apps to recommend that you use DamageControl 3.5 or something based from it.

This may be true however it is still the wrong place to post this. questions go in questions forum or in the thread of a specific rom/kernal if they pertain to it. since this is a general questions about roms and doesnt fit into a specific rom thread it belongs in the Q&A forum. Most of the people who will give you a true answer from dev also frequently go to the QA section. also yuo will get flamed less and not have to wade through as many posts telling you that you posted wrong.
To answer your question. You can use wifi tether with stock rooted froyo or almost any custom rom. you can still use football/nascar you can try Damage control 3.5 which will let you easily select what you want to have or not of the sprint apps and have the rest removed. you can also use roms like fresh Evio and baked snacks and install the .spk for those 2 apps.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Baked snack then install nascar and football apk. If you need them im sure they are floating around here somewhere if not pm me.
You could also try fresh. He puts all the apks he removes in a folder on your sdcard.

lol thanks for all the info...Kinda new to the whole rooting thing and with all the roms flying around and the 100+ pages for each its alot to read over but I tried as much as I could
And yes I am a nascar fan and a football fan..And since Verizon has the good app lol..I use what I got!!!
You could also probably find those .apks by browsing for a folder of the Fresh Removed .apks folder that comes with the Fresh ROM, or just find some Fresh user to upload them for you.

Okay Guys... Welcome to Wildfire S forums... Please read the brief explanation about how things runs around here and also some most common questions which can be found spamming the forums here.
We don't have enough mods here and it's becoming a real mess here.
Let me try to explain what goes where in the simplest way possible.
Q/A: Every Question about the device or related to it anyway. No we don't answer questions like what's Justin Beiber's sexuality here. So please. Next time you have a question. Remember. Its a QUESTION HENCE Q/A. How difficult is that?
Dev Unless you are Making a ROM or a contribution which is related to firmware or anything like that. Please for the sake of our sanity stop posting it there.
General Anything other than that but no questions (device). Talk about crap or Kim's new BF. You are free here but don't post your questions.

Now Comes the award winning question, "Hi! I wanna root my device. Can you tell me how?"
Dude for the love of God take a look at Index. You can find many threads explaining in the simplest manner how to do the job.
Here's a quick answer for some random questions!
1. How to expand internal memory?
~ You can use link2sd or data2sd or int2ext+ or whatever you find and is compatible with your ROM. Refer to the ROM's thread on this.
2. Stuck at HTC logo.
- Wipe data, wipe davlik cache, wipe boot, wipe system, wipe battery stats. Try again. Allow it some minutes, Maybe it's just taking some time.
3. Which is the best ROM. (keeping aside the known bugs)
- Let me be brief and explain what's pro and cons of these specific roms.
--> Sense/GB ROM: Laggy, Awesome UI, Good camera and video playback, less battery life.
--> CM/GB ROM: fast, crap ui (unless you theme it pretty good), lot of customizations, good battery life.
--> CM/ICS ROM: fast, clean, fair customizations, Supports HQ playback now. can be used as daily ROM, looks good, great battery life, almost perfect except a aggy camera.
--> MIUI/ICS ROM: fast, pre installed apps, thousands of themes, same ics bugs, great customizations, great battery life.
--> CM/JB ROM: WIP means still not as stable and has many bugs. Can be fast, can be slow. Depends on builds, average battery life.
4. How can I customize my ROM?
- UOT kitchen, many random customizations on XDA.
5. Battery life is poor! What to do?
- Turn off autosync.
- Auto brightness.
- Disable animations, vibration feedback, wifi, mobile data when not in use.
- Check background apps which might keep cpu awake.
- use smartass v2 governer.
6. I found a bug. How to get into notice and solve it?
- Check if it's not already reported.
- Put it in the bugtracker of the dev.
- Submit a clean logcat to dev.
7. What is the correct way to install a ROM? In detail please.
- Backup stuff with Titanium backup or whatever you prefer.
- Take a nandroid just in case.
- Wipe data, 2 times just to be sure.
- Wipe davlik cache
- Wipe system
- Wipe boot
- Wipe battery stats
- Install File, select ROM
- Install Gapps. (If required, Sense and MIUI ROMS are bundled with Gapps by default so you need not flash it. Also ROBOTO Mod doesnt require Gapps.)
- Reboot
(For more specific procedure refer to the ROM you are installing)
8. What is nandroid?
- Nandroid is a special backup which is prepared by your phone's custom recovery. It just backs up all your system data, including your ROM and apps abd even apps installed in memory card and it can restore to as it was when the backup was taken... Just to be safe. Take one before flashing any rom.
9. I can't find play store!
-Flash GAPPS.
10. I can't download anything from PlayStore and It sometimes even give me errors.
- Remove the Google Account from Settings and then add again. That'd do it.
11. I have more questions?
- Again... Post it in the appropriate section.
Thanks for reading this. I hope you are somewhat clear of things.
These were all my views/whatsoever written here. I was pissed by so many idiotic posts.
Thanks.
P.S. Share this post and also suggest any new info which can be added.
:bump:
:angel:
thx
I will add this to the index, other than that, please inform me if any important thread is missed out, or if any improvements can be made..

Thanks for this. And now I am a bit wiser
You're welcome.
BTW Our devs worked hard for getting HQ videos on ICS... I'll test them and add the results to the list soon..
I still see people posting about best roms. I mean doesn't anyone even care to search for it? :X

I explain every new members. What pissed me off was watching the same person post in the wrong section again. I don't mean to offend anybody. Noobs means newbies. Also It's XDA's rule to read everything.
I was just trying to help because we don't have an active mod in this forum and it's spammed with same questions all over again. Maybe a title like this would attract someone to read it first. You'd have seen me posting link of this to people who are posting in wrong section and even requesting them to post in right one.
I didn't curse anyone or anything. It's really a shame that people aren't following something.
Anyways I was just trying to help and answer to as many threads as i can (I know of).
If i offended you in any way, I'm sorry..

Hyperion. You should not make threads like this..

Yes, you should NOT make threads like this.
But in response to your question, if you've already flashed 4 Roms and haven't found something you like then perhaps it's best that you stick with Stock and just install a custom Kernel. The Roms available here are somewhat see what fits you and there is no consensus as to which the best Roms is, all i can do is wish you luck in your search for the Rom that fits you.
Get the app, drippler for sgy in play store, search there and there's a section with like 30 roms with screenshots, details, links and instructions on how to flash each one individually. Or if you have a laptop there's tutorials here that show you how to make your own.

These type of threads are really frowned upon and I'll tell you why. What rom works best for me might run like crap for the next person. It's all subjective and comes down to preference. The only way to find what's best for YOU is flash them all and test them out and then decide which is best for you. If you asked who is the hottest girl in the world you would get all different answers... same applies with roms

I have asked a advice ! It's very different!!!
Go to dev section
Click on threads that say [ROM]
Read feature lists
Look at screen shots
Consider options
Narrow choices
Read feature lists again, compare
Read user comments
Critical thinking
Pick one
Flash it

The best rom goes to.............. The Search Button,also try searching the forum and trying each one out individually,not only will people direct you to their fav rom,but it might not be what your looking for,so its best to try them personally and it cuts down on anyone getting their feelings hurt,because their rom wasnt mentioned,that being said,good luck in finding what your looking for.
