Switching roms - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey everybody im new to roms and I wanna try out a few before I decide which one I want. Im currently on gummybear 2.5 and I have made a backup. I want to try apex 1.3.1 (apex apix? Idk too high to remember) any way I hear its easy to switch roms once you've had it installed and made a backup. Any thoughts on how to switch roms a lot?

I have it for liberty and fission already.... what do you have on apex that neither of those roms supply?
I can get the animation package over for you if you want it.
If enough people want it ported over I can do that but if only one person wants it I wont do it.

I have flashed liberty and it was my first blurless rom and I noticed I did like some blur things after having liberty for a week and a half or so...i haven't played with fission since I don't have alot of free time with school..but I like apex so why change it if its not broken ya know? If its too much of a hassle, no worries I'm ok with nextheme until someone makes a new theme for apex... thanks!

Just keep it in the car dock all the time
On a serious note, I don't believe on the stock rom it can be changed at all. But I know when I had my INC there were a couple roms that had the Landscape Rosie. Unfortunately I don't think any of the roms out for the TB can do that, yet.
Haha I meant use HTC s implementation on other roms

G2X froyo roms question

so i bought my gf a g2x for her birthday, but as i was told they are super buggy on the stock rom, i flashed it asap. ive been using GB roms but they all seem to be kinda buggy and i would prefer the LG camera fully working, so im thinking of going back to a froyo rom. my question is: are there any known bugs with the froyo roms? im mainly looking for stability as its not my phone so i wont be able to mess with it constantly to fix bugs. thanks guys

Try Ultimate G2X 1.0. Its based on stock Froyo. Its super stable, everything works, great theme.
I'd give EaglesBlood a try.

I gave sinister a try, I hated the theme on it, but it was stable. Personal preference I guess.

Infuse Roms?

Hello everyone i just signed up and i own a Samsung Infuse 4G and ive been flashing some roms on it lately and i want to know in your opinion what is the best rom.
i tried zeus, and i like it but i hate build 5.2 and build 6, because of the fact that wallpapers do not scroll. live wallpapers do, but static ones do not. I love build 3 fixed for ZEUS because it has scrollable wall papers and the app drawer is transparent. i dont like the black background when looking through my apps i like it see through.
but, being build 3 it freezes quite a bit. i tried CM7, didnt like it. i want to try something else.
I hate flashing roms and testing them because every time i restore it gives me an error saying "No sdcard/.android.secure Found. Skipping restore of SD card apps." so i have to re install 1 by 1 the apps with titanium backup and its really annoying. once i reach my 10 post mark i will start to post in the developers thread but this is all i can do now.
in a rom in need stability, no freezing no non working elements, all that.
clean, simple and crisp.
no dumb animations to lag the os and use mass ram. clean simple and fast. id even use gingerbread with touchwiz 4.0 like on the samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket LTE that has a very good stock OS. maybe there is a way to put that on my infuse? I want to try s.u.r.f.a.c.e. rom but that's a hard way to flash it
any suggestions?

You can always Port your own ROM. Just saying.
If all you don't like about ZEUS is the launcher's look, then you can use one of the alternative launchers available off Market... err Play... or whatever Google is calling its new and improved more privacy breaking app download thing.
Off hand, the two I can think of are GOLauncher and PhoenixLauncher. I currently use GOLauncher on ZEUS and like it quite a bit, plus it's free. I think I'm going to give PhoenixLauncher a go after some of the bugs are worked out.

I agree, and also I'd recommend GoLauncher as I use it on Zeus build 5.2 and love it. Give it a Try!
I don't like those launchers iv tried them, I like touch wiz 4 which Zeus build 3 has, so I am using this for now.
Has anyone flashed the s.u.r.f.a.c.e rom?

Yerp on the surface rom...super lite...has lots of add on apps...smooth,stable....
The reason that wallpapers don't scroll is a SAMSUNG issue, not a Zeus issue, a change they made in the new gb leaks, so they wont change, on any rom built from that leak. Build 3 is no more and outdated, so if you don't want another launcher I suggest keeping build 3 because I removed it from the server. And tw 4 is way too buggy and unstable, that's why it was removed and will not return.

Alright thanks,
And now I understand that about Zeus,
But anyway great job with it its still an awesome rom. I'll try to flash s.u.r.f.a.c.e
How can I flash surface from my current position (Zeus build 3 with the ruxk kernel)?
Thanks for your replies

Well I'm currently running Z.E.U.S Rom Build 6. When I was stock GB (for the short time that was) I used the TouchWizz 4.5 Launcher, and I'm using it now. Scrollable wallpapers plus you can flash icon themes. Here is the XDA Thread Link:

And the download itself:

Hope that helps man
From what i understand...its bad to restore all apps from TB, as some may not be compatible with other roms due to missing or added files
At least if your restoring the data part too

I was sorta feeling the same until I came upon this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643406
If your running cm 9 alpha 4 download some themes and use theme chooser and see how you like them. I have a sense theme running currently and if you get bored with one, use another.
