UPDATE:
I have posted a beta to see if you guys like it it was built from CM and AOSP sources. I just have to compile kernel and change lockscreen.

I was thinking the same thing.
OP You should start with aosp source and fix that if you want as pure as google android as you can get.
By the way you your picture you have up there is not stock launcher it's adw launcher. And the rotary lock screen is not stock either. Sorry.

I have the stock launcher installed in this version that screenshot is old. The Google lockscreen is included but not set as default ( trying to learn how to do this). I have remove Most of the CM stuff except for somethings i need to learn ( edit settings.apk to remove The CM settings ( which will not open when clicked on). All the apps on this rom come from a aosp rom for the DroidX( except for Terminal, Rom Manager, and File Explorer (which is very useful). All traces that i can remove so far have been removed.

haha dicks, just rippin him apart and the rom hasnt even been out for a day LOL

I applaud the effort. Congrats on your first rom and look forward to see the improvement. As far as removing apps, one thing I do is find it in Titanium then see what the file is named, then you can remove it out of the app folder.

Like stated above, you should work with a pure aosp base and you won't have to worry about any of that CM7 stuff. In my opinion, I think aosp is about as smooth as it gets when it comes to UI. I'm sure people would love to have a pure aosp ROM around here since there aren't any yet that I'm aware of.
Good luck with everything and if you need any help just ask.

I'll give a shot. I love loading new roms. Thanks and good luck.

The problem is that I remove CMparts.apk and cyanogenMod settings is still in my settings menu (like a ghost menu ( it won't open). I need someway to edit setting.apk to remove this from the settings menu but im not skilled enough to do this any help would be apreciated.
Also The RenderFX widget is unable to be found (If someone has a location or what file it is in please tell me)

tell me how it is please!!!!!

OP There is a lot more to removing cm then you are thinking. Cm is not just the addition off apps but also modification of all what is android. If you want aosp start with aosp

Ok I tried it and honestly it looks just like cm7. I don't know about creating roms but it seems that this is cm7 renamed and the boot screen changed. I would seek advice on properly creating roms and start over. Good luck.

If I were to create this from a aosp rom I first need to get my hand on one. I need to get drivers (I have no Idea on how to do drivers). And what kernel would I use. also what drivers would i need and don't need (screen, mix, speaker, touchscreen, bluetooth,wifi?)
Also would you want to make this rom with me?

Building from source ie. google. You can google ginger bread aosp and it will bring up this or from Git. You are going to have to build a kernel from source as well. You take the drivers that inspire already has. Its alot of trial and error to see what works and what doesn't.

Is there anywhere that has all the information necessary to build a rom compiled into one handy area?

Google is your friend if you want to learn how to compile asop. You can check out the android source site http://source.android.com/ or the developer sitehttp://developer.android.com/
Sent from my Incredible using Tapatalk

I have found a outdated 2.3.1 Asop rom for Desire HD (camera not working and USB mass storage not working ). Also If any one has any idea of how to copy CM7's drivers for USB and CAMERA I would love to hear from you!!!
Also How can I update this rom to 2.3.3 without having to recompile from ANDROID-SDK

I'm gonna take a crack at building from AOSP tonight. Gonna use the kernel and proprietary files from CM7. If it doesn't boot though, I don't have the patience to start looking into the kernel and framework to fix it. Wish me luck!

Best ROM for Nexus S? And how to flash it?

Hi guys!
I'm using standard Gingerbread Android ROM and I'm getting a little tired of it so wanted to ask if someone could suggest some ROMs to try. Also, I'm not sure how to flash them on Nexus S. I heard that there are many Androids that can be rooted by clicking one button in an app, but for Nexus I found a long tutorial here on XDA and I'm a little hesitant to try it.
Any tips will be appreciated!
Thanks much
Okis

I have tried out just about all of the roms out there now for the nexus s and now I have reverted back to stock. I have found something wrong with every rom I have tried. Custom roms are just too buggy for me even ones marked as "stable". If you're willing to deal with bugs things not working phone reboots and dropped calls by all means try some custom roms. Now I'm just waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich to come out.
oxygen rom is one of the better ones out there.
oh and btw nexus s is one of the easiest phones to root follow the guides carefully and you'll be done in minutes.

This has been discussed couple of times here, do a search.
For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239365
If you don't really feel comfortable flashing a ROM, hang around in dev section where most ROM & guidelines are available and read the feedback from users on each ROM and see which one fits your needs.
And there are NO best ROM only most suitable to your needs, what is best for others doesn't necessarily fit your needs.
I'm with blowtorch, you have to try it to find out yourself...I myself did and at the end of the day I'm perfectly comfortable with stock rooted.

The longer and harder thing to root a Nexus is to installer drivers on computer. After it's fast and easy.
Oxygen is great after 2 or 3 days. I use adw launcher ex, or stock launcher.
Sms, mms, video gtalk, video skype and so on.
Everything is juste ok.
2 days of battery life with heavy use.
I try ns collab, superosr, it's great too. More cyanogen like.
I never use miui more than 5 minutes...but i read and heard that it's a good rom too.

I love Ice and Fire. Has an Ice Cream Sandwich style launcher. Lots of extras.

This x100.
Stock Rom may not be flashy but its rock solid and fully functional.

I once searched for something like this and found that there's no clear cut answer for "best" ROM. Like others said try them all (one you figure out how to flash) or do watch videos showing off each rom to get a sense of what it's like. I don't have my NS yet but I'll be trying NSCollab and SuperOSR when I get it. Odd considering I'm not a CM7 fan...

Depends on the features you are looking for. For me at least, I got the Nexus S so I could have stock AOSP. I've been sticking with Oxygen for a while now as its close to stock with some useful added features. CM wasn't for me though I may give it another shot soon.

There's a lot of tutorials on youtube that show you how to flash a ROM. I suggest you watch a few of 'em to get an idea how to do it properly.
As for the best ROM, like others have said, it all depends on your needs. I use Oxygen because it's very stable and has extra features that I find pretty useful.
I also like minimal bloatware so I downloaded ES File Explorer and removed most Google apps since I never use 'em!

I read about it already, and the question is - is there a simpler way to root Nexus S than installing all of these SDKs etc on the computer? I guess, not from what I see here.
Don't worry, I won't **** my pants)

there is one...give it to someone who knows how to do it.
You are asking for best ROM, how to flash it, finding simpler way to root it without installing SDK, etc. on computer....and that's the only way I can think of.

Multi-Boot different ROMs. Boot Manager Pro Compatibility list.

[ MyTouch 4G Slide - Boot Manager Pro Compatibility ]​
I'm not affiliated with Init 2 Winit Apps in any way. I'm just an average user aiming to help the community.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Boot Manager Pro is an application that allows you to boot different ROMs easily (the App claims in can handle unlimited slots, as long as your SD Card supports it ). Kinda like Dual Booting Linux and Windows, two different operating systems on one computer. Boot Manager Pro is like that, you set up your default ROM through recovery and then you "Install" ROMs on separate slots, and then you boot them with a simple tap. This is perfect for Flashaholics and anyone who simply desires to test a ROM, no need to be constantly backing up and restoring different ROMs from nandroids.
This App is NOT free, you can get it from the Android Market for $2.99 [as of Feb 25, 2012]​
Over the past few days I've been playing with this app, trying to get ROMs running on it. Some MyTouch 4G Slide ROMs are compatible with Boot Manager Pro, others aren't. This thread aims to list what ROMs work, and what ROMs don't work with this app. If you've tried any additional ROMs, please add a comment and let us know! Also! I recommend plenty of storage space. Each ROM would take about 1.9 GB off your SD Card. I recommend a 16GB Class 6 or 10 card. Whatever suits you best!
This App was developed by Init 2 Winit Apps. Credits and a Screen shot are attached.​
Working ROMs​
Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.1
Pyr-o-Ice Sense 1.1.0
Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 ROM (I wasn't able to install it from ZIP, instead I had to install it from recovery, run a nandroid backup, and then restore the nandroid to a ROM Slot on Boot Manager Pro. This ROM has the original stock Doubleshot Camera)
TBalden's CM9 OpenSensation Port
Rubix ICS 5.3 (thanks dung8604)
Wildchild IcE v0.1 ALPHA (AOKP/CM9)
ICS Virtuous ROMs should work (not tested)

MIUI (tbalden was able to get it working by unplugging the USB, removing the battery, and rebooting constantly until it worked - if it works for someone else, please confirm)
CM7
Virtuous Infinity (thanks NovaxxBite)
Hopefully we can find a reason why these ROMs don't work. It can perhaps be the version/kernel of the Phone's ROM, who knows!
If anyone can get one of these ROMs working by Flashing them as the phone ROM from recovery, making a nandroid, and restoring the nandroid to a separate slot, please let us know!

If anyone has tried any other ROMs, please let us know! Also, messing with the Boot Manager Pro settings may enable some ROMs under "Non-Working" to work, I have yet to try it.​

I think I have a copy of that ROM sitting on my SD Card, I loved how smooth that ROM was but I started disliking it when it began to be stripped out of it's core functions... Like, when the DS camera was removed. Thanks for the heads up!
What's your Phone ROM currently ?

Currently on pyr o ice 1.1.1, gonna update soon to 1.1.2. I believe I was able to flash the gallery and camera zip fixes. I plan on using it mainly for tv out, and if I want really good pictures. Day to day, camera ics and/or the sensation camera that came with pyr o ice is good enough.
If you want to keep all that stuff, just use 5.2. There isn't a whole lot of difference between the two.
On another note, I've been trying for like four hours to get miui.us to load in slot 2. Still no go. I have no clue how tbalden got it to load.

I used to have 5.2, well... Whatever, I'll give it a shot later! Pyroice does have a good Camera, but it's missing 1080p recording. I use Pyroice as my daily driver, and if I need to take an HD video I just switch quickly.
I loaded MIUI as my Phone ROM, But I've had no luck getting it on any slot. It gets stuck on the Splash screen. I asked tbalden for advice and he suggested the battery pull technique, I gave
up after 6 boots... Lol!

Same here, I don't know how he got it working. I'm not even all that interested in miui, but not being able to load is is annoying. Boot manager is really flaky sometimes.

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or what, but this app is flaky for me. Can't get wildchild's ROM booting, and I really want to try it

I was able to boot CM7 selfkang via BootManager.
one thing i notices is when you first create a slot you have to make sure the screen dosnt go to sleep because if it dose it seems to stop creating the .img files and then they are not in the proper size they should be and that seems to cause issues at least for me i dont know if anyone else experienced this issues.
After the files were created successfully install CM7 in it worked perfectly for me.

Honestly, I've done everything right. This app is beta at best. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Is it worth unlocking and installing custom roms at this point?

Basically im trying to get convinced on whether unlock the tf300 or not. Most i see around is people with issues and bricking their tablets
Im used to the g2x its my only experience with custom roms and it seems there is a lot more to the tablet than to my phone.
I see a lot of people complaining about not being able to return to stock..Is there an efficient way to restore to non rooted stock through cwm or that other thing forgot name. Also wich of those recovery's is best to be used. I would like to be able to return to stock unrooted at any time in the case I have to return to bestbuy or any similar issue .
I would also like your experience on the roms out there right now what are your preferences wich one is working best, is battery better than stock rom, is it worth it basically .
Do people that have bricked their tablets have done it because of bad luck it has a chance to happen or simply didn't follow the correct procedure.
I'm still a noob into this unlock bootloader and all this I would apreciate it a lot of I could be pointed the correct way of doing things
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly apreciated.
PS: I find ridiculous that interface studders a bit while on power saving mode quad core 1.0-1.1ghz come on.. Hopefully this isnt the case in CM9 ^^
I'm still in my 30 days for replacement so thought it be best to do this while that in case anything opps it died gime new =D

Hi,
If you unlock the bootloader, there is no way back!
I and I think most of the others brick there dev not while unlocking the bootoader than while rooting and then flashing the wrong image inside CWM (one f*** click).
Hope that helps

I tried the custom roms here. CM9, AOKP,
But returned always to stock rom.
The thing is I like the extra functions of the custom rom. But hate it if somethings do not work. And losing the Asus stuff.
Custom roms are still in early development stage.
Hopefully someone makes a stock based custom rom.
I always was able to restore via CWM backup. But there are always risks.

Although I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet, based on my experiences with the TF101 as well as other android devices...if you are looking for the safe route and stability, i wouldn't recommend unlocking your bootloader and installing custom roms yet. As stated above, development for the 300 is still young, which means there will be plenty of issues that has to be ironed out yet. Usually the people who do this early on in development are the devs themselves or people who are willing to take risks and pretty much accept that they can't really use their device as a daily driver. I have experimented with CM9 aosp, miui, and other aosp stuff, and I always find myself going to a custom stock rom because they are not as plagued with as much issues like the others. There is a thread in the development section that is attempting to reverse engineer the unlocker program so that it doesnt run and tell asus on you. Once you unlock your bootloader, your device's warranty will forever be voided. Since rooting does not void your warranty, I am happy with that for now and see what becomes of the unlocker project. When doing any mods to your system, you always want to make sure that you can undo them before you actually do it.

I just dont see it worth it for us who just want to flash something better that just works and not mess with it for a while. I love cm based roms on my g2x and it saved my from replacing my phone.

What he said. Well, I tried AOKP but due to a couple of things I switched back to stock rom again (aside from no Slovene keyboard layout (yet) for the dock, it had a few tiny things didn't work as I'd like and it annoyed me ). I also like ASUS's weather and battery widgets and the Day Scene live wallpaper is also great (I managed to install the weather widget and the wallpaper in AOKP, but the tiny things were still there).

You're doing the right thing.
Unless you really need to tinker alot with it - root is enough for now.
It's practically a baby when it comes to custom roms.

Since we don't have a custom stock ROM yet, here are some ways to have a custom stock ROM like experience...
1. Obviously have your TF rooted
2. Download and install adfree from the play store for ad blocking
3. Download and install Titanium Backup from the play store
-Using TB, you can debloat and remove any apps you don't want. I recommend using the "Freeze" option because some bloat apps are needed for the next OTA update to work. Use the "Defrost" option to get them back.
-Using the freeze option, freeze the app, DMClient. This will completely disable the OTA notification from appearing. Defrost it when the next OTA becomes available.
4. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641219 for build.prop edits. These are performance and battery tweaks that may improve your TF.
5. Search the play store for any apps that may provide you with the functionality and additional options/settings that you may be looking for in custom roms. Theres apps for just about anything these days.

[Q] To root or not to root...

Hi,
I have a Triumph and I'm considering rooting it, but I was wondering if doing so would disable any of the stock functions like the camera or the HDMI output.
I'm also wondering what the best firmware is for it. I know most are partial to Cyanogen Mod. Are there others that are better?
Thanks,
Lanie

Well there's Rooting and Flashing
If you root it then everything will still work fine
If you flash a Custom Rom then it's unlocked or Pre-Rooted, but there are things about each
1. Froyo Roms: Custom Froyo Roms should have all things working as stock but they'll probly function better, there are some froyo Ported roms however that have things not working so read the first posts carefully
2. Gingerbread Rom or CyanogeMod 7 or CM7: CM7 Roms have everything working just like stock except the mini hdmi, mini hdmi wont work at all anymore, but there an upgraded android os gingerbread, adds many things like tethering, overclocking and many custom settings
3. Ice Cream Sandwich or CyanogenMod 9 or CM9: CM9 has no camera and no mini hdmi but its two android os's above froyo, also adds tethering overclocking and custom settings
4. Jelly Bean or CyanogenMod 10 or CM10: Still Highly Alpha or Still Highly in Test Phase, No Camera, No Mini Hdmi, Many other things dont work but if you were feeling sporty you could atleast see Jelly Bean on your Triumph lol

No it won't disable any stock functions but it would open your phone up to more options and possibilities then before. I would root the phone and flash 2.3 (gingerbread) on it, froyo is pretty out dated but 2.3 is a really good ROM, a lot of development went into it, especially cm7

Nothing wrong with the stock rom either, once you root and clean house.
