im looking for the fastest rom to put on my wing i been searching and looking at all the roms but i cant choose and i been reading that there is a windows 6.1 manila rom or something like that but i cant find the download for it anyone willing to help :]
Well the best ROMs I think are Just2Clean and Open Touch 6.5 lite no spb.
I use the Open Touch one cause it is real fast and comes with good programs that I use a lot of and I've been using it for a long time. Those Manilla ROMs suck and are slow even while being overclocked and the TF2D eats RAM especially if you also have S2U2 in the background.
hmmm ok ill check those out and thats the one im looking for too i went on youtube and watched some vids im just having trouble finding it >_<

Post the youtube video here. Maybe we can figure out what it is.
As far as posting this in the Development section: This should be moved to the Herald or Herald 6 section (which should be renamed the Herald ROM questions section.)

That's based on one of my older ROMs. Just2Clean.
They modified it by adding a few bits of software. ^_^
I happened to run into that video yesterday and a post in a different forum describing it. It was lucky that I found it before you asked.
I'm also working on a more current ROM, JustStable.
I also made a JustMe after Just2Clean.
yes thats the one that i want which one do would you recommend for my wing cause im getting tired of not having enough memory to open the camera and i want to have a fast phone too that works with everything :]

Just try one. JustStable hasn't been released yet, but it's the newest. If you want the ultimate in RAM and storage space, try JustMe. I have NEVER run out of memory while using it. And you also get 70mb of FREE storage space.
I haven't finished JustStable, but there will also be a stripped version.
Any ROM you get from these forums will be 100x better than the tmobile one. The only thing required is that you read up on:
HardSPL for Herald/wing
How to flash through an SD card for Herald/wing
And what a ROM is.
ahhh ok ok thanks soo much :] i will

No, it doesn't look like that. He themed it differently. The core itself is my ROM. The speed is my ROM.
ok so i understand, your roms are stripped clean so that there is room to add what i want? htc home screen, themes and sw is that right i can be a little slow lol

That's right. My ROMs tend to be stripped to the core.
Hey, i'd love to get that one too. Please feed the needy.. I installed some crappy ROM named Yang something and after installing a the touchflo 2D and a couple of other cabs, i did a hard reset and it keeps restarting. Don't know what to do. Please help..

I don't overclock my phone. No need to in my ROMs. JustMe is a little more complicated. It's not really meant for newer users. It allows you to create a custom ROM. If you just want a ROM, try JustStable, it's not finished, yet, but it's "release" quality right now.
Search for the "how to flash" guide.
JustMe requires that you CREATE a custom version of my ROM.

ohh okay no wonder is sooo hard hahahh ok just stable then where can i download tht? n thx for the helps for reals thanks ivan
what is the difference between the three? are they suppose to be combined? which one is most useful for the sensation
The kernel is a small file that you flash that pretty much runs the phone... And tells it how to run. A Rom is the actual OS on the phone.. it's everything you see. A theme just changes the look of the Rom... Usually wallpaper and menu color etc....
I guess if I had to compare it to a car... Kernel = engine
Rom = car
Theme = paint job

LOL, a ton of answers to that, most folks have personal preferences. It's the most often asked question.
I guess the first question is Sense or AOSP based. This is a more fundamental change than the Theme. Using the car analogy, 4 x 4 with loads of bling vs a pruned down sports car. ;-)) Then again I use CM7 as I wanted a lighter (ASOP) system.
Best advice is to flash a few ROMs and decide for yourself. They are all good, just some do bits better than others. Just remember to take plenty of Nandroid backups so you can revert back if needed.
EDIT: Meant to add that any ROM you install will also include a "base" kernel. So install a ROM and it's good to go.
pranker98 said:

If you want a non-Sense ROM, I think that CM7 is the best, very smooth, stable. CM9 with Ice Cream Sandwich should be out soon too. I use bricked kernel, but faux is very good too.
If you want a Sense (3.0 or 3.5) ROM, InsertCoin or Revolution HD are both very good, pick one, try and decide ;-)
so when you take nandriod backup for your current ROM, how do get back to it for extraction? and how do do you back up 2 ROMs without deleting the other? where do the back ups go (SD card or internal)?

Hi,
Nandroid backups are stored on your sd card in /sd card/clockworkmod/backup.
You can make as many as your sd card can hold.
In order to get a ROM back,simply "restore" it from within CWM.
firmware vs ROM
sorry for stupid question, although I wanna ask what is the difference between firmware and ROM? is flashing the firmware the same thing as flashing ROM?
Firmwear is kinda like what runs the Rom, if you don't have the correct firmwear your Rom won't work or bootloop. So its VERY important to flash the correct firmware with your Rom. If its ICS based Rom the firmweare is 3.32. That will need to be changed if you want a GB based Rom. Just make sure when flashing its the same firmweare as you have. Usually if your unsure the firmware is available to flash with the Rom. I hope this helps! Have fun!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
this is a bit of topic, but when you flash firmware , you actually flash the kernel, right? you get ftf package. then after unpacking it there is a kernel.sin(.img etc) file which you flash to your phone. I am new to this stuff so I wanna be sure how it really works
Yes that's right and for Rom Most any Rom will INCLUDE,a good base kernel so you can flash the firmweare, flash the Rom and be good. Hope this helps.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
Like the title says I'm working on building a ROM of my own. I am new to this but am not stupid. I've looked around the forums and have bookmarked quite a few threads that will help me. My question is, how would I go about putting a custom CWM flashing screen in? Like on Eman..and ZTR where it says Collective, and flashing modem, etc. etc. And if anyone can point me to a better "ROMS for dummies thread that would be great Thanks for any help
Edit: Scratch that question, just found it lol. But any pointers will still be appreciated

For camera I believe you will also need to pull the camera firmware apk too-so you need to put the modded camera.apk and camera firmware.apk in your from (both can be obtained from any of bigfaus roms
For epm you need more than just the settings apk, you also need to replace the frameworks that come with epm (policy.jar, framework-res.apk, and framework-res.jar) I believe that's all you need
As always, if you choose to upload your rom for others be sure to give credit-bigfau for camera, and I'm assuming you got epm from dman so dman for epm
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
Also for battery mods (and other stuff too) a great place to go is a website called UOT kitchen-just choose your battery mod then upload your frameworks and it will place the modded battery in there for you, then replace your old frameworks with the new ones from uot kitchen
*do this after you have epm set up and running...unless you plan on doing it manually using dmans how to guide*

Alot of people have been asking me how i ported Slim ICS, soooo...i made a tutorial on how i port AOSP ICS roms...this is a general tutorial that should be just enough to get the port to boot. your port will not be flawless and it will probably have some major bugs that need fixing which are usually fixed by libs.
This should work with all AOSP ICS roms except those formated in a MTD file system (MTD is not supported by the infuse)...but for best compatibilty use a similar phone like the galaxy s...also before porting if you plan on uploading it you must get permission first!!! Dont make the same mistake i made with slim...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loFHhYf0ca4
Guide:
***DISCLAIMER***
i am not responsible to any damdge caused to your phone by following this tutorial, you are doing this at your own risk. Before beginning you can not be afraid to mess with system file, to experiment, to get boot loops or even completely destroy your phone-for the infuse this is highly unlikely
if you fear bootloops or bricking a phone than you should not follow this tutorial
this guide should work for all phones and all AOSP roms, however every rom is different so some may require extra steps which you will be on your own for...this should be enough to get you to boot up though.
***END OF DISCLAIMER***
if you have any questions please feel free to comment bellow, dont message me on youtube i probably wont answer...if you do comment i may or may not help you, but maybe somebody else will. i have a busy life, and am constantly busy with the infuse and can not spend the time to address everyones issues...but by commenting maybe some one will help.
TOOLS/PROGRAMS NEEDED:
1) 7zip or other archive program
2) text editor, for windows i would use notepad++
STEPS:
1) download CM9 for your device or other AOSP based ics rom ***This is your base rom, you will use this to replace files in the rom you want to port***
What ever firmware your base is is the firmware you will be able to port...EX: 4.0.4 base=4.0.4 port
***for this tut i will be using CM9 4.0.4 for the infuse found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844 ***
2) download rom you want ported ***it can be from any phone, but for best compatibilty/least amount of bugs use a rom from a similar device, since i have an infuse i will use a Galaxy S ICS rom"
3) open up the CM9 or whatever base rom you are using with 7zip (dont extract it just view the archive...for 7zip right click rom, go to 7zip option and choose view archive)
4) delete the following folders in the system folder: app, framework, media, and fonts
5) open up the rom you want to port and use the app, framework, media, and fonts folder to replace the ones you just deleted in the cm9 base
6) copy libandroid_runtime.so *located in /system/lib/* from the rom you want to port into the cm9 base (you are replacing the one already in there) keep a copy of the one in CM9...if it doesnt boot up put the CM9 one back in
OPTIONAL/NOT NEEDED to make the rom run
a) go to build.prop and change the name of the rom
b) change the name of the CM9 base zip to whatever you are porting
7) place the rom on your sd card and flash...if you get bootloops do a logcat
If your rom is unresponsive/not working right you may need to replace some stuff in the /system/lib/ with stuff from the rom you are porting (just compare the rom you are porting with cm9 and whenever you see something missing in the CM9 base or dif size switch it over BUT keep a backup of the unresponsive one that booted...this part is all trial and error) i can not help you with this part...you are on your own, but feel free to comment and i may try and help or someone else may try and help
Also logcats will help in diagnosing problems...
please dont pm me for help, comment on this thread and if i have time i will try and help...or someone else will. im really busy, im a junior in highschool, so i have homework monday-friday, not to mention that my 92 year old great aunt is moving in with us as she can no longer take care of her self alone so i will be busy taken her to appointments and what not.
If i could i would help each and every one of you guys...but i just dont have the time to help everyone so if we can restrict the questions and answers to here hopefully we can limit the amount of questions asked.
Saved for Q&As...
just in case...
Thank you very much MG for your hardwork and dedication. This guide will actually help and inspire many of us to bring ICS flavours on Infuse. :thumbup:

Hi there are some realy good ROMS about and i wanted to try make one how would i go about that?
Your best bet is to search for a ROM kitchen. There is one being developed for the s3 in either the development or original development forum.
I could be wrong (i have made mods, not full roms) but the idea is start with a ROM image (usually a samsung one unless you want to venture into the aosp realm), run various options in the kitchen to prep the ROM (deodex, zip align, etc), add your mods (maybe a themed SystemUI.apk, a modified framework-res.apk, remove app apks, or add app apks), and use the kitchen to zip it all up in a cwm zip.
Anyone who finds fault in this explanation please correct it.
