Best ROM? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

i was just wondering id there was a "best" rom out there, easy to use, i use the push method to get my EvilEris? on a hero? they said it would work, but any others that will be better and cn just be pushed on to it? idk if that makes sense i'm a litle tipsy, but i'm looking for speed and style, and could someone hook me up with stuff about making custom roms/themes?

ROM CHALLENGE 32b

if i knew how to i would make a rom i would make a rom like this
youtube.com/watch?v=7SImOIMcMlk
But i cant so i have to make this challenge to get a rom like that/
I have a mytouch 32b and im putting out a challenge to see if anyone can make a fully working rom like this one in this video asap to be crown the best developer in the world.
this means the bluetooth, wifi, cam, video, touch screen, and volume, calling, text, and everything else for the 32b need to be working for you to be known as the best developer in the world.
also im putting out another challenge. I look and looked and i cant fnd any rom thats not based off of any other phone besides from tat which is impossible to get their roms. besides tat rom all the roms out there is based off of the mytouch slide, hero, or nexus. I want a rom that fully works and is not based off of any phone out their and mind blowing cool. i want it to be available to the mytouch 32b.
for the both of these challenges if it dosent work with mytouch 32b then u cant be mark as the best developer in the world. but im not making a rule saying u cant make a version for 32a and one for 32b.

are you some type of idiot?
no offense not trying to be rude but this is primarily for 32a sapphire development and really your request is not even possible with the hardware on the phones we have - do you think 3d effects can be possible with the same crappy screen?
obv not - do some homework and stop making requests that are ridiculous

it is possible. if you look at the nexus roms 3d gallery and the video you notice they both act the same. all u have to do is some how convert the code for the 3d gallery to the main home screen and trick it into thinking the icons for the apps is pics. then rewrite the code so when u selected an icon it will do what u want it to
anyways about the hardware being crappy thats kinda a major point to this challenge. anyone can make a great rom on the best hardware with a little bit of time but only the best can make a great rom for crappy hardware.

thanks i will see what i can do but this is still a challenge so anyone can post their rom on here and we will see what comes of this challenge
ROM(e) wasn't built in a day! Anything's possible with the right amount of resources. If you're willing to fund it, I'll be willing to do it Talk is cheap, except on my Rogers bill!

lol nice. but ya its a challenge and sadly i dont have the money. the main reason why i made this challenge is it seems like everyone who makes roms only makes them so their phone is like a newer one that just came out. kinda like a keep up with the Joneses thing. i want it where we have roms that is so good that the new phones that are coming out will try to keep up with us and question why a few people that makes roms on their spear time is better then people who are paid to make it for new phones.
anyways if u are worry about money the person with the best rom will be known for the rom and just like Cyanogen he has people donate to him and if he wanted to he most likely could get ads on his site. like if this challenge go well then most likely there will be another one down the road and maybe that other one down the road will have money but in order for there to be another one this one has to go well

[Q] A question

I just had a question on whether anyone knows any ROM devs that either keep as close to stock "vanilla" android, or if anyone knows the least amount of things that have to be coded to create a "vanilla" ROM.
I don't know if I am the only person who would like just straight up google android 2.3 to rn with their non-modded UI, but that is honestly what I'd like.
If I have to I will create my own as long as I know the super basic things I have to change to get it to run.
I had a G1 with CyanogenMod on it and while I enjoyed CM, I have no idea if they even plan to make a version of CM 7 for the shift.

[Q] Port from non cdma phone

Sorry if this is a repeat thread. But how do you port a non cmda phone rom to a cdma phone?
You are better off asking in the irc. Since I am not familiar with the mes that great but the desire. I can't give all the info.
But in turn I do know you will need the kernel, libs, modules and probably a few other bits. Along with editing the build.prop.
The better question might be, which ROM are you hoping to port? If you're after CM7, that's pretty much done, and very well supported. If you're after MIUI, I think I'm about the only one working on a GB port, but it's at least still being poked at. Those would be the big universal ROMs I can think of.

Miui will be missing the same things. No AOSP based Roms currently have this functionality for us.
I'm currently in the process of beating my head against GB MIUI to get it to work. Thus far, I've had EXTREMELY limited success (I got it to boot ONCE). I've had limited help, but I could really use more from experienced ROM porters.
That said, yeah, anything CM7 is missing, MIUI will also be missing.
I've heard good things about the kernel JT1134 is working on, but I have no idea how far along he is, and how easily it will be tied into CM7 (and hopefully, MIUI).
Bottom line: The functionality you want can really only be found in a TouchWiz ROM. If you're after MIUI + Functionality, consider trying MIUIWiz.

[Q] From CM to OEM MT3G OS

I have been searching the forums for a while now and i cant seem to find a clear cut way to achieve this. So many of the rom threads have grown WAY BEYOND search ability. Here is what i want to do.
I have the Mytouch 3g "Fender" (3.5mm Jack). I currently have Cyanogen Mod 6.1(im pretty sure its x.1)
I want to go back to the DEFAULT os (Froyo aka 2.2 i believe it is). I was the one who rooted and flashed my phone however i am by no means an expert. I jsut followed directions. I want to be sure i dont brick my phone(i know there is always a chance if the user is an idiot or impatient etc etc).
Can anyone point me to the correct file(s) needed. Maybe perhaps proved a step by step guide? Do i need to flash my radio again? New Kernal? Gapps?
FWIW, the reason i want the stock OS is because after using CM, ive noticed the phone deteriorates in terms of performance and responsiveness.
If someone wants to talk me out of this or maybe wants to point me to a mod that is better(more reliabe, better performance) that would be fine as well. I know the MT3G is old and not really a super fast phone, but loading google.com on my wifi connection shouldnt cause the phone to freeze. And when i click one app icon it shouldnt bring me to my messaging app.
TL;DR. I have CM6. Performance deteriorates over time. I want my Stock(OEM) Rom/OS/RUU(whatever its called). Need steps and files please.

Hey there, well theres a lot of option out there and i know that while giving variety also makes it harder to stick with one ROM.
Theres definetly not a BEST ROM, since they all have different points for different people. I am about to tell you MY opinion of some ROMS, that doesnt mean this are better or worse than other ROMS simply that they fit MY style.
1.- The all time "standart" Gtgx Infused: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
ITS STABLE, and the thread has an EXTENSIVE guide for begginers.
2.-MaxQ Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338554
I find it QUICK, STABLE and i love the green theming and the Sony Sketch look a like font ( or maybe it is actually sony sketch font). Also I love the fact i hold down the "Wifi or bluetooth" icon on the drop down menu and it brings me to the wifi or bluetooth or gps etc settings.
3.-MIUI (Galnet edition)
Galnet MIUI is banned from XDA so theres not a current build on dev section. IF you want to get a build of it you have to get it directly from the source
http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/weekly-builds/ ( And look for Infuse)
Its fast, its eye candy with all its "ISC" framework. BUT its a bit unstable sometimes and you will lack support since its banned from XDA( Dont ask me why idk, apparently some rule breaking from Galnet team)
4.- CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311960 or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195525
CM7 has SOO much to offer to be put in a few wors, you ca try it yourself!.
There are MANY roms, many ports and you can try em all or just one its your choice I repeat Im just posting MY liked ones.
Sorry, ignore my post. Wrong section
