[Q] What rom is legitimately best for mesmerize?

I know, I know, this sounds like a typical newbie opinion question. But I'm not exactly looking for opinion here. I'm looking for FACTS pertaining to which ROM is going to give me the most optimized performance (un-altered benchmarks or whatever) while still giving me the most functionality(I.E. all aspects of device performing as well or better than stock). I got this device a little over a week ago, and really like it. I have been reading thread after thread and just want some help, so please don't think I'm just looking for a quick un-researched answer. I am looking for legitimate advice. I am currently running VOODOO kernal and oc'd to 1.2 ghz and getting benchmarks around 1650 ish? i believe. I do like TW, but dont swear by it. I tried MIUI, and i cant really stand it. CM doesn't want to flash right either, and i don't know which direction i want to go. I also feel this thread might help others in my position. Does PnP offer noticeable performance increases, aside from removed bloat? Thanks in advance for any advice provided!

Heintz 57 is the best, most stable and functional. Everything works. PnP is a very close second and everything works as well. I say try em all. I have and keep finding myself back on H57. It's really a matter of seeing which one best fits YOUR needs and style.

I prefer miui, hands down, and i've tried them all. Miui + glitches kernel, i can get over 3k quad scores. Not to mention, its super cusomizable--super easy to change themes (no need to flash). Not to mention, it's updated weekly by a great team of developers so it's constantly improving.

I am running the same MIUI and Glitch and it is impressive, smooth, very customizable ect. For pure performance I found JT's Vanilla GB V6 with either his new kernel V3 or Glitch Kernel to be the fastest performer. Any of the MTD based ROMs seem to perform better and I won't go back myself.

miui ftw.

Any mtd rom but my favorite is miui

Miui is sex. Somebody used to put a lot of hard work into porting it for us, hmm perhaps he's off developing elsewhere.

I heard there is a good trigger rom around somewhere. I forget who the dev was but he used to be here. He was AWESOME! But they kicked him out for some reason

I honestly like the MIUI rom. Everything looks and works amazingly. Only one bug atm, no MMS while you are on Wifi. So.. all you do is just disable it and then get your MMS's, and then go back on. It works.

CM7 is my favorite. It's well thought out by the original developers, looks great, runs good, and will run 3x the benchmark your friends still on stock will! That being said, it's still under development, and will sometimes do some strange things. For example, I woke up one morning to find my screen was on with colors inverted. Had to pull the battery to unfreeze it.
So, for stable ROM, I like H57. It's not as new and sleek, but it's stable and works perfectly!

Can someone post links to the MIUI thread, and links to glitches kernel? I'm running pick-n-pack and ready to try something new. I want to make sure I grab the right files and get this going but I am having a hard time finding the right things. I just need someone that can confirm what the latest files are so i grab the right stuff. I guess I am looking for MIUI and Glitches Kernel. I should be able to figure out how to root, red recovery and use odin out as I've done all of those before.
Thanks.

I would stick with the bundled JT's kernel for the moment. Right now if you flash the latest MIUI then the Glitch kernel, you'll lose all sensors. It sounds like they should have the problem fixed soon, though.

Thanks for the quick reply. Are the links in your sig where I can watch for this to make sure I can do this when it's fixed?

You wont find the latest MIUI releases on here anymore. [mod edit: you know the rules....]

I can't seem to find the latest stable build for Heinz, can anyone link?

tried flashing samsung galaxy s 4g 2.3.4 leaked rom...

so i got bored and tried flashing a samsung galaxy s 4g leaked 2.3.4 rom... i did it thru odin everything went fine after it got done flashing, sound booted up but screen did not turn on for me... i tried taking the battery out and turning it back on... nothing but the sound coming on, then i tried going into download mode it wouldnt let me. so i guess i bricked it. but anyways went to tmobile got a new sidekick. so my question is if im able to flash thru odin successfully and the boot sound comes on, is it possible to flash a samsung galaxy s 4g rom if a dev put some work into it?

It shoulb be possible but first the would have to still get a. Ginger kernel that works with our hardware
Sent From My Rooted Sidekick 4g XDA Premium App

Odin flashing is nothing but a special way of writing data to the flash memory on the phone. It in no way means the software being flash works on the platform it was copied to.

just because the sound driver works, doesn't mean that anything that actually matters would work.

You could use JIG to force it into download

2.6.35 kernel source for Galaxy S Series phones was released by Samsung. So someone good enough to do it should be able to now. Its just finding a developer good enough to do it.
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA Premium App!

Although it's technically possible, our phone has entirely different modules and drivers from every other Galaxy S phone. So although yes, there is technically a source for the Galaxy S, there's no source for our specific phone.

Shouldnt matter. The Dream and Sapphire didnt. They were never meant to have GB. Same with some other phones. It needs build for our phones using those sources.
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA Premium App!

The dream and sapphire have a team of the best devs that exist on Android, including Cyan himself. Half of those devs work for HTC or Samsung. Building the general Galaxy s source for our phone wouldn't even boot correctly, as it wouldn't have any drivers to make any of the hardware work.

They do have the best developers. Cyanogen is not one of them anymore. And hasn't been in quite a while. None of them work for any companys like that except for Cyanogen. I didn't say to just build the source. I said to use the source to tweak and build for the sidekick. It can be done. I wish I could do it.
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA Premium App!

There's a reason that there's no CM7 on the Dream/Sapphire, and that's because CM quit developing for it. there's plenty of them that work for companies. the hardware changes for the sidekick require much more than just minimal tweaks, that would require essentially rewriting drivers to be a part of a new kernel.

There is CM 7.1 for the Dream/Sapphire because me and a few others have built it. Cyanogen only quit developing for it officially. And i didnt say minimal tweaks. I said tweak. I understand its a lot of work thats why i said we need some developers here good enough and willing to do it.

Then go find some. If you're not going to appreciate the devs who are here, who try their best to work on this phone, then do it yourself. If you can't do it, then find other devs, or be grateful for the time we put into our work on this phone, rather than constantly telling us that we are inadequate.

Never once did i say you guys were inadequate. I appreciate your guys work. I was just saying we need a developer that knows how to bring us CM. No reason to get mean. I never said the roms here were bad. We need these roms. A variety is good. Not everyone wants CM. But some do. How did you take anything i said as being directed to you? And if you want to be truthful. You guys are constantly taking shots at revolutions work. So calm down just a bit. We all appreciate the work you do. And if i could bring CM to the Sidekick, trust me, i would. And also trust that i have been trying to find other devs to bring CM to the Sidekick.

I work with Revolution on things that he needs help with, I haven't been taking shots at him. Some do, but I don't. My apologies if it was misplaced, I guess I had lumped you in with all the kids who were so used to having CM that they expected it to be done within a month of the phone release, and got super upset when it wasn't done, my bad.
If nothing else, this has made me want to try porting the kernel again, I'm gonna give it another shot, to see if I can come up with another way to do it. We'll see what happens, once again, my bad, I'm sorry.

[ROM] Cyanogenmod 9 v1: Youtube Fix Attached!

youtube fix attached until i can bake it into the rom and reupload, expect a few more changes once the reupload happens
hey guys
updated with usb mass storage quickfix
back again with a new rom port. this is cyanogenmod 9 for the heroC.
please do not expect cm9 to be a magic cure all for all the problems we still face on our older devices. this runs equally as well as eligorom (evervolv) and will most likely stay at the same pace as evervolv
i take no responsibility for your phone crashing and burning in an epic fashion, or the naked zombie from miami starts a worldwide zombie outbreak. or war, or famine, or disease, or anything of the sort. try at your own risk, dont bother me if your phone blows up
dont give me any credit, give the following people mad props and donate to them if you wish to:
erwinp for youtube fix
stritfajt for getting the camera working
mongoosehelix and all the crew over at the eris forums
1ceb0x for the kernel minfree tweaks and the crew over at the hero gsm forums
dsixda and his kitchen
matt, jaybob, dastin and the heroc crew
zeppelinrox and his v6 supercharger script
tvall and the crew at the g1 forums for the rom
all the people who test this rom and give me feedback
im sure i forgot people, im sorry if i did and if i forgot you please yell at me and ill make sure to thank you
what works:
touchscreen
sdcard
radio (data and calls)
adb
camera preview and taking pics
fixed keyboard
wifi
sound
buttons
audio
root
vibration
bluetooth
zeppelinrox's supercharger script
minfrees are set at boot, no need to change them
video playing from sdcard (software encoding)
displays correct carrier, and hopefully mms should be fixed
usb mass storage (had to use an app, not ideal, but working)
youtube (non hd)
what im working on:
need someone to test mms with stock app
what doesnt work
hardware acceleration
youtube hd (almost unrealistic, at least it works)
probably others
works with problems:
camcorder (displays preview but will not record)
long press home displays large previews, not sure why just yet
other stuff im sure
when you flash this, remember i did not sign it, so if your using clockworkmod recovery toggle signature verification
i reccomend downloading Script Manager from the market and running V6 supercharger. the reason behind this is while minfrees are set already, trebuchet could use being bulletproofed.
this is the gapps i use from evervolv eris: http://www.mediafire.com/?qbpc1zthauh4c1h but feel free to use whatever ones you want
and now for the link:
CM9HEROC v1-1
http://www.mediafire.com/?zutjrhbizhuhhqu
md5sum: 2d9fb865dae038a9c87e4e13db2b5a4c
happy flashing!

Thank you
will pull my Hero out of the draw and give this a shot!

Does camera autofocus work or do we still have to set focus to infinity?

i havnt tested it out yet, but seeing how there is little to no difference at all between evervolv, aosp, and cyanogenmod ics, if we run into camera problems in one ics rom, we will have it on all ics roms
im going to take the safe road and say no autofocus doesnt work, still gonna have to choose infinity. we're amazingly lucky to have camera on ics, and stritfajt did his best to give us what we have.

I was getting nothing but fc's when I flashed this :/ I have firerats at 170 50, and nothing is different from flashing other ics roms. I was able to get through the gapps setup, and settings worked fine. The fc's I remember seeing were browser, email, trebuchet, and the gapps process.
Sent from my HeroC using XDA

hey shakes,
yeah fc's are an unfortunate part of our ics experience right now. if you flash just cm9heroc, you dont get half the fc's as flashing gapps also.
gapps are slowing down our ics roms pretty noticeably bad. im not 100% sure what to do about it at the moment, but im investigating.
when you get those fc's, just hit wait, and then wait a minute or 2 for everything to chill out on your phone, and you shouldnt have many (or hopefully any) force closes after that.
(this is my assumption that you had just flashed the rom and gapps and got all the fc's immediately)
can anyone test if mms is working through the stock app? much appreciated
oh hey and im going to be uploading another build with a way of fixing usb mass storage, not my ideal way, but it works. plus a few build.prop tweaks.

Which sources/manifest are you using? I've been off and on working on cm9 with our TeamICS repos on github. It compiles and boots fine but every app force closes and then the phone starts melting. I haven't had enough time to figure it out but seems you got it all working! Look forward to testing this out.

I'll try just flashing cm9, but wouldn't trebuchet (the launcher) still fc? And these aren't fc's where you're given the option to wait, it's just the dialogue that basically says such and such app stopped working, just letting you know, hit okay to dismiss. Haha. I'll take another look later today and see what's going on, right now I need my phone so I'm running your everevolv rom.

Same too on the GSM hero side

hey kayant and shellnutt
i ported this from g1. i dont have the internet speed to download the repos or else i would be working on a true cm9 port built from source. sorry for the inconvenience.
shakes,
the only time ive gotten trebuchet to force close on me is when i first boot the phone and unlock the screen too fast. if you can, try to get a logcat and let me know if you find anything out of place.

I'm not sure if I can, I'll definitely look into it though. Any chance of an update for this?

always a chance for an update to this, i just have to have something to update from since i cant build from source.
if anyone knows how to build from source, has the internet speed to dl and the processor and memory to build, PLEASE build cm9 from source. then we can pull in all the fixes that are going to make it into future versions of cm9.
if anyone manages this, please upload your work.

This is why we were merged with evervolv, so that any changes they make for devices like ours get to us.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA

there has to be a way to pull those changes from evervolv over to cm9 though, they are basically sitting on the same base. really its just frameworks that are different, and not different by too far.
i respect everything that the evervolv team is doing and i appreciate the hell out of them for keeping us in mind even with how old our phone is, but many of us are used to the cyanogenmod feel after using it forever on many different phones.
as long as some device like ours has a cm9 built from source though, ill continue to port it on over to heroc and hopefully keep everything evervolv has working consistent through changes.

Hey ya'll, I was just snooping around here in the hero forum since I just flashed a rom on my wife's sprint hero. I see ya'll have a cm9 port over here as do we Evo'ers too. I am using CM9 from Team D.I.R.T over there in evo land. It is great and I thought it would be worth mentioning that "videocam illusions" works great with CM9 on the Evo 4g. We use it to replace the native camcorder. It is free in the Google Playstore. You can give it a try, nothing to lose. Maybe you will get lucky.

thanks cityneversleepz ill have to give it a try, been super busy havnt had time to mess with my phone in a while

Not coming for G2x I guess, not until LG/Nvidia release something.

All we can do is hope an official ICS release is made for the G2X or the O2X so we actually get hardware acceleration...

i know everyone wants an official ICS release but there are plenty of ICS roms for our phone, whats so special about a CM9 one? they all have the same drawbacks so really its just a matter of preference. and since cyanogen makes roms for just about every single phone out there he cant take the time to customize one for our phone, thats why i think the devs here make better roms

Aren't you the beta tester for someone on these threads? You should learn a little more before saying things that are incorrect to the public... Yes our group for the G2X is doing some awesome work, but none of those are actually usable for a lot of us. I use my phone actually, alot and ICS is no where near usable, I don't even record or anything but even taking a picture and exiting out the app a certain way will cause for a reboot to be able to take a picture again... and like monkee said, Ricardo (Cm_arcee) is the CM dev for our phone and almost if not all LG line of phones. If CM team were to release an official RC it would be with fully working everything at least. That's why we were excited with it, compared to what is available now.

totally forgot about arcee and as far as all the roms here using his fixes i dont see that as completely true as there are some roms here that are using AOSP pure so not using CM at all. unless (and this may be possible) his fixes are getting added into the code upstream then in a round about way those using AOSP would be using his fixes

and yeah im a beta tester for Genesis and what did i say that was incorrect? and just because im a beta tester does not necessarily mean i know everything there is to know about android, but i know enough. i didnt mean to offend CM or people who love CM, but ive used it as well and really it just comes down to preferences. i truly dont think that CM is the be-all-end-all of G2x roms...thats all im saying
and why would anyone think that when CM releases a rom that it will be error free or have all features? i've been using 7.2 and for a few releases bluetooth call audio isnt working and that is the case with 7.2 stable, so your argument about having everything working doesnt hold any water

Don't mean to sound like I'm bashing you but I don't mind spreading the knowledge I've gained over the years of basic rooting and android...
None of what you see except for the OTA stock based roms are doable without the CM team... EB AOSP included. It says on their 1st page "A BIG THANKS TO CM-TEAM for they're amazing work without these guys hard work and great features none of this would be possible for me..." it's just how it is, Steve (cyanogen) Kondik has been at it since the G1 days... so CM is pretty much the "be-all-end-all of G2x roms" if your phone didn't function well on stock... every phone is like that, not just the G2X, other wise we will have stock based roms with tweaks here and there but making the lock screens and coding them out to where they function like they do is mostly and all Cyanogen... This is what I've gathered over the years if I'm wrong about some of it, I wouldn't surprised... Since I've been rooting and everything for the past 4 years, I should be a Dev by now but I'm too lazy for that plus work, school and a social life, I don't have the patience either haha.
7.2 stable is not stable but it is about 100X more stable then CM9 in my eyes and lots others, some people have no issue with it being the way it is but I'm super picky and 23 years old, I go out a lot and answer lots of calls, need stable battery those sorts of things, ICS is none of what I need or want on the G2X... also why I'm switching phones shortly.
again I didn't mean to attack, just opinionated I guess lol.

no worries, i didnt take it that way, im pretty opinionated as well
and you have great points about how you use your phone and what you need from it. i guess thats where i need to make a mental note that not everyone here uses their phone the same way and want different things from it and the software that runs on it
and i did not in anyway mean for my posts to sound like i was bashing cyanogen (dont know him well enough to call him Steve LOL). what they do is incredible and they (and all the other devs here) make flashing our phones fun (at least for me)
i think this can be let go, no harm no foul?

I told everyone that Ricardo promises to port it as soon as he gets his hands on it. I had a long conversation with a friend last night about these fauxm9 ROMs. If you read my interview with Ricardo you would know he totally regrets his decision to release this crap. Source has even been pulled from cm. Our "CM9" source is a pile of app breaking hacks. I have the upmost respect for our devs, it is not their fault, but they have put soooo many band aids on this turd that I've noticed stability diminishing with each release. Too many patches, no real fixes. If anyone has noticed, ics releases have slowed dramatically. On the other hand, CM7 is on the brink of perfection, yet nobody's doing any kangs. What's left on CM7, blue tooth? I'm sure if devs worked on it they could figure it out in no time. Anyway, that's my opinion, and it's formed from pretty good sources.
I'm sure everyone knows what great friends mt3g and I are, but I stand by his his last comments. CM9 doesn't exist for our phone. Period.

Couldn't agree more .

Right! I love ICS and CM9, but fact is, these latest kangs of kanged kangs are soooo unstable it's comical they're being released. Focus should turn to CM7 until cm or lg releases something for ICS. Trust me, LG has to do ics for the O2x, it will be here soon enough.

CM10 JB nightlies for Skyrocket - Unofficial

Since I'm a new user, the forums won't let me post links until I've posted 10 times, so until then: Download links are in the text file below
Hi Everyone,
I've noticed a lack of nightlies available for the Samasung Galaxy S2 LTE (rogers: SGH-I727r) / Skyrocket(AT&T: SGH-I727) for us flashaholics to get the latest and greatest from the guys down at CyanogenMod. So, I've decided I'll be running nightly builds with merged fixes (official ones, my own and anything anyone else wants to contribute) for everyone to share.
OK, I now realize the above is wrong. More accurately I will say a lack of developers helping to iron out the bugs and merge new things. So I'm contributing by building nightlies and developing fixes and hopefully others will contribute as well. The more the merrier right?
Download nightlies here
I am running these nightlies as my daily driver and so far everything is running very stable.
Working:
-too many to say, just look at what is not working
Known Issues:
-Bluetooth audio out of the box, read fix below.
-USB mass storage out of the box (see fix below)
-Occasional SODs (Sleep of Death a.k.a. doesn't wake up after locking screen)
Bluetooth fix:
This is confirmed to be working by myself. Connect to bluetooth audio device and make a call. If audio is still coming out of your phone then while still on the call, disable bluetooth and then re-enable it. Once it reconnects the audio should now be coming out of the bluetooth device and will continue working no matter how many times you reboot, shut off your bluetooth device(car) etc...

USB fix
Contribute:
If people could post their bugs up here, that would really help since I don't use every single feature of Android so some people may experience different issues than others.
When posting bugs, please post what other things you have installed that could potentially be relevant. Also, say what you were doing when said bug occurred.
If it is not on the known issues list, it is worth mentioning. If it is on the known issues list, post anyway! Maybe your post will lead to a fix.
Installation:
-you must have either TWRP or Clockwork mod recovery on your phone, I use TWRP but I'm sure CWM will work as well.
-from recovery, make a backup of your current set up in case these nightlies aren't for you.
-wipe cache, dalvik cache, /system and factory reset 3 times each (there have been weird reports of remnants of files after single wipes)
-flash the nightly of your choice
-flash Google apps if desired. I usually do this after the first boot just in case there are any issues so that debug is easier.
-reboot device and let sit for a few minutes to allow the system to initialise for the first time
-LTE and APNs are net set correctly after boot so you will have to go into system settings->More...->Mobile Networks and set Network Mode to LTE / GSM / WCDMA and select the appropriate Access Point Name as well. I know for Roger in Canada it should be ltemobile.apn
-enjoy your rom!
Upgrading from another one of "my" ROMs:
-download new nightly to your phone
-reboot into recovery
-no need to do any wipes unless you are experiencing difficulties
-flash new nightly from SD card
-boot for the first time. If some things aren't working, reboot and see if it fixes things. Sometimes after an upgrade I have no cell service until I reboot.
Note: It is possible that certain updates may break things as they are nightlies, not stable releases. Flash at your own risk, I do not take responsibility for anything that may go wrong, but I will try to help.

I think rpr69 has unofficial nightlies. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871261

You are right, however, apparently things like camera are broken(unles they've been fixed). I haven't tried them to be honest but it can't hurt to have someone else building and making fixes, right? Plus it looks like he has a flashable bluetooth fix which will most likely work with my builds. I'll give it a shot.
Thanks
Tom

Oh there is nothing wrong with someone else building and developing for sure. I'm just saying that there was another thread. Once you can post URLs, you might drop your build server URL in the unofficial nightly thread. Like you said, never hurts to have more people working towards solving problems.

With everyone complaining about new users coming in and demanding devs to make their phone cool, this new user comes here with a substantial contribution right outta the gate and this is how you repay him?

The camera has been working for weeks. The only thing right now that is a known issue is the irregular SOD's. I haven't experienced them to the level that some people have, but I have gotten them occasionally. Other than that, it's rock solid, at least in terms of what I use the phone for. Sure, there are little bugs here and there, but there is nothing that is a showstopper. It's been my daily pretty much since Alpha1 was released.
Tom

Thanks, I wasn't sure what stage those builds were at or what modifications were merged. Hopefully we can all contribute to making a solid ROM!

Yes! Yes! Scare the newbs away no matter what they may have to contribute! That's the best way to manage a community! /sarcasm

actually you will be making it more confusing for the noobs by having 2 unoffical cm 10 threads where both devs are building from the same source. there is less confusion unifying the threads & builds.
op i suggest you look at the BMP rookie thread in dev section and share your builds there.

They are built daily from bone stock CM10/TeamChopsticks sources, the only modification currently is the BT in-call audio fix, until it gets committed to trunk. I leave all the customization/modification of ROMS to people who know what they are doing. For anyone who wants pure CM10, use my builds (or yours assuming they are untouched), for anything else, look elsewhere.

@quikt
Definitely something to consider however I am too new and I am not permitted to post in the dev section.
Also, if we are merging different fixes, then we are not building identical ROMs which then makes my builds relevant (I hope). For noobs, they are presented a choice. Both RPR and I try to present as many details as we can to allow them to make an educated choice. Although you may be right. I'm not a noob with this sort of thing so I don't know if its confusing, I'm just trying to help.
I honestly didn't expect this much criticism contributing to an open source community...

not sure how you plan on merging fixes, but if u merge like the rest of the CM devs, the gents here are still going to be building off the same code hence the same builds.
u are getting flak because we have a cm10 unofficial thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871261

K maybe merge isn't the right word. I mean compile my own fixes and submit merge requests to the cm stream. So basically changes will be made here before they are uploaded to the cm repos.

Dude, keep your thread and start pumping them out.
Forget about noobs, they aren't the reason the forum was made and you don't have an obligation to any of it.
Your thread is justified because it isn't the same as rpr and that's all that matters. If people have a problem, they won't download your work and if noobs are confused with choice, they can go back to their trusted old source.
Looking forward to checking out your work. Hopefully you don't waste any more time on this useless discussion.

Bro keep your head up and build your ROMs. Honestly don't know where the criticism is coming from but lots of devs pull from source and make their own fixes to AOSP code. You're good to go and I look forward to seeing your work.

I wasn't criticising, at least I hope that wasn't how my comments were taken. I am not a developer, I just build, if you can actually fix things, more power to you!

No you weren't criticising, thanks for the insight into what you're working on. Much appreciated!
btw I am a dev and will be fixing things if people were wondering. I'll be updating a change log in the main post as I roll along.
