Hey
I was just wondering what rom all you android users are on atm. I am running cyanogen 3.6.8.1(I think lol) and have used JF and Hero builds. JF is rather basic as it is just modified TMo OTA updates and the Hero builds I have tried have all been slow/laggy/buggy (will check back in time. Anyway what are your current and/or fave builds and what distinguishes them from others?
Thanks,
A. Noob

How do u get JF's v1.5 in Haykuro's latest 1.5 build? Thx
are you asking how to use JF's Kernel in the Haykuro build? to make a hybrid build?
I think it would be easier to import the bits you like from Haykuro's build into JF's build.
yea cuz haykuro's build has the zoom feature with the camera and camcorder but jf builds are lacking them

Why not just use Haykuros build?
To answer the OP's question you don't. Pick either Haykuros, The Dudes or JF's build and install, from there you can try to customize the build to your liking.

Unfortunately this post does not make much more sense than your first one. Take your time and formulate your sentences. This is not meant as criticism, but it is hard to follow what you are asking.
If you are on JF's 1.42 build and want to go to a 1.5 (cupcake) build then you have a few options:
1) The "official" google ADP build. This has the benefit of being unmodified but honestly I can not think of a reason to go to this rather then JF's build.
2) JF's 1.5 build. This is basically the android build with root and a few features useful for root. To get the full list of changes go to JF's blog.
3) Haykuro's build. There are two versions of this build one based on Googles ROM release and one on HTC's. The HTC one has some added programs including Exchange sync and a PDF reader. Some have reported speed and/or stability problems but the latest builds from Haykuro are supposed to have corrected these problems. Short version: few more added programs than JF's build. I do not use this build so if my statements as to it's features are incorrect feel free to correct me.
4) The Dude's ROM: A different variation based on the cupcake source tree. I am sorry to admit I know little about this build.
So to recap. If you are on JF 1.42 and want 1.5 then make a choice among the ROMs listed above and go to the appropriate thread an the development subforum, read up on the features as well as limitations, and follow the instructions to flash your phone.
Any update of 1.42 to 1.5 will be a firmware update though. any update to any ROM would be a firmware update. None of the above are the official releases from any carrier however so there may be missing features, namely the Amazon music store and the various IM clients that are not gtalk. Again research the thread for the various ROMs.
Thx. Mod plz lock
Hi,
Thank you guys (and girls of course) for pushing the android experience more than just-another-smart-phone for the curious users.
I have searched a lot by moving around in this forum for last couple of days, looking for a cool ROM for my first ever (but not last, only the beginning) ROM upgrade.
I have read the wiki and have explored all the given links. But I couldn't find few simple answers. Please help me by answering my following questions-
1. Is there any list of currently available ROMs with pros and cons of each ROM? Is there any benchmark for stability, performance,supported features for all the available ROMs ?
2. What's there any matured stable 2.x.x ROM for HTC magic 32A which is not-slow and does well what it is supposed to do?
3. What's the pros and cons for older versions and newer versions? In another way of asking- why you developers still working on the 1.5 and 1.6 ROMs? Why not 2.x.x for HTC magic?
4. (lame question) Which of the ROM versions does have flash 10 (so that flash videos or files will work on webpages)?
Please ignore my lack of knowledge and enlighten me and other newbies as well.
Thank you very much once again
1. No but you may have a look at this.
2. Manup456's Eclair is what I'd go for. It isn't slow nor buggy but keep in mind that there are things that still don't work properly and probably won't until HTC or some operator releases an official 2.1 update for the Magic. You'll also need a port to install it on a 32A.
3. 1.5 and 1.6 have been officially released for the Magic while 2.xx hasn't yet. That means everything works as it should on 1.5 and 1.6. On 2.1 you get the new Android features but you lose some functionalities as well so it all depends of what you need and don't need (if you can live without camera recording and hardware acceleration you'll be fine). People also stick to some 1.5 ROMs because of SenseUI (there are a few 2.xx ROMs with SenseUI but none of them is really ready for prime time).
4. Flash 10 isn't available to us yet. There is a version of Flash Player included in the HTC Browser (meaning you need a ROM which includes the HTC framework) but it's not that great as it doesn't support the newer Actionscript 3/FP 10 Flash files. It can play Youtube videos though.
My personal advice would be to avoid 2.xx ROMs for the moment and to try a good stable 1.5 SenseUI ROM like Cursorsense or GyD... and if you then feel that 1.5 is too old you can try Amon RA's Donut or Ahmgsk's.
Hope this helps... you could have posted this in the general forum though
I've been searching and trying many different roms for the MT3g that are android 2.1, and there are many many talented developers on this website it's too hard to just try them all.
Can anyone point out there most "stable" and working rom for 2.1 32B they have use / are using
It's been annoying having to change and reflash different roms every other week for something new / need something else to work that I wonder if anyone has their preferred roms they could point out
Thanks in advance

where have you been?? lol.. cyanogen mod 5.0.7... go check it out in the g1/dream forum...
oh yea it is marked as experimental but i think its pertty solid compaired to anyother eclair rom..
...and for new Radio?
...and for new Radio??
edit: nevermind, smoki is only for 32A
Just so we're clear, I have simply collected some links to help people use the CM6 nightly builds. I had NO part in the creation of this software and I take no credit for it. No one asked me to collect this information, and if anyone has a problem with it being available they can PM me and I'll remove it.
All of this information is present throughout this Cyanogenmod forum thread. I've just brought it together to make sense of it.
NIGHTLY BUILDS ARE PRE-TEST BUILDS AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL, I NOR THE CYANOGENMOD TEAM ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WITH THIS INFO! THIS IS *ONLY* FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRY AN INCOMPLETE AND UNSTABLE CM6 FROYO ROM.
This is for Dream/Sapphire (Magic) and Old Radio ONLY. Don't flash this sort of thing unless you really know what you're doing.
Since I am just collating the information I probably won't be able to help you troubleshoot. I have flashed the latest nightly myself and it runs, but it's very unstable.
Anyway, long waiver done, here's the info:
The nightly builds can be found here. You'll probably want the latest .zip. These builds are created by the CyanogenMod team, if you want up-to-the-minute news I'd suggest following Cyanogen, Wesgarner, ChrisSoyars, and Koush on twitter.
Early 32A port kernels can be found here. You'll want the .zip that corrosponds to the nightly build you downloaded. These are being developed by bcrook (aka 'bcrook88' on Twitter)
Google Apps can be flashed from this. Not sure where they're from or who made them available. It flashed fine for me, but GMaps FCs whenever it's opened, very unstable. This version of google apps has also been suggested as more complete and better, but I haven't tried it myself.
Very much OT, but are you actually running the SPL 1.76.2007 together with the old radio, as your sig seems to indicate?
I think by old radio, he means the one that comes with dangerSPL, the one ripped from the engineering Magics? (i'm not sure where it came from) rather than that new one that someone found in an HTC rom, and everyone flashed.
Oops, nope my sig is wrong. Should be HBOOT 1.33.2010
Also if you feel like compiling , there is a wiki article here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Compile_for_dream
Edit: Sorry its only for the dream :-(
Thanks, flashing now. Any update on what works/doesn't work?
I haven't spent much time with it yet, but 3G works. I would imagine Wifi, GPS and Camera are the usual culprits to be broken, but I haven't tried them yet. You can always check the check-ins and bug tracker that the Cyanogenmod team uses to see what they're working on.

Main known issues with nightly builds include GPS/Maps FC, camera and video broken, voice input FC..But speed is insane for pre-test build..Can't wait for CM6
I have a quick question, and it may seem dumb. But im kinda stuck.
I understand how to update the spl to what is required, but where can i get the radio 3.22.23.18 ? i cant seem to find it anywhere and thats the only problem im having.
i can load up this rom and its great, i just dont get a signal lol.
thanks.
I'm not using an unusual radio version or anything. Just use this tool to change your radio (relatively) safely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677045
Couple more things, u can actually flash pershoots 32a .34 kernels on top of this and they run fine. Also if frf83-mdpi apps are giving users issues, ive ported frf91 gapps to mdpi and so far havent heard complaints and im running it as well so it shud b gud.

Hey im still running Android 4.4.2 CleanRom and its been a while since ive been around. I feel a bit outdate and was wondering what i should upgrade to. Not looking to do nightly's as i do not have the time, just looking for something new and stable. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hi, here on xda we dont compare roms, sorry. its just taboo of the worst kind. Also please post questions in the question and answers portion of the forum, thanks and cheers.
I'll go ahead and reply with respect to the split between KitKat and Lollipop. You'll note a bunch of Lollipop-based ROMs appearing. Some have chosen to flash those, to be on the cutting edge. However, the Xposed Framework - one of the most useful customization tooks in the Android world - has not been updated to work with the "ART" (Android Run Time) and instead is only still compatible with Dalvik-based system. The developer of Xposed has indicated that he may work on updating XPosed at some point, but there is no firm commitment or timeline.
I personally will not be upgrading to Lollipop as I find that the tweaks made available by the Xposed Framework and the plethora of modules built for it, are simply too important me to lose by upgrading to what isn't all that radically different of an Android update.
But to each his own. Thought I'd give you a bit of the background.
P.S. Anything by Santod is quality work (NuSenseSix, UnSenseSix, etc). He really knows Android.
Nothing beats stock as far as stability. For newest, well, the newest official software is stock as well until VZW releases Lollipop.
Sacred cows make extra tasty steaks. That said, I'll make recommendations. I think Fluent is as reliable as the stock 4.4.4 and more so than some of the more radically tweaked 4.4.4 ROMs out there built from non-Verizon sources. NuSense is solid as well, but hasn't been updated in a while, is minimally modified, and is based on the oldest of the lollipop releases. if 4.4.4 is all you want, Clean ROM 3.0 was a solid runner for me.
If you can do your own mods then I would go with Lollipop as you don't need xposed if your looking for stable stick to 4.4.4 for now.. Make sure you upgrade your firmware before if you haven't as you r still on 4.4.2 ROM I'm taking a guess your haven't updated firmware.

What do you mean by doing your own mods? Short of coding them, I'm not sure how one would go about getting Samsung Milk to work, or cleaning up the Notification menu, or a bunch of other things that just aren't commonly built into customized ROMs. If you do know of a way to get such things working in Lollipop, do let me know - I'd then be able to make the switch!
