[Random] Nightlies are like crack.

I will be the first to admit that the idea of flashing roms was ridiculous and not my thing, but I have to love it. I don't necessarily need to experiment with different kinds, but I like having options. And of course it is very clear that the G2X is a bust for tmo, so I don't expect too much from them.
Thaynjs to all the devs that work hard to keep us happy.
Im done. No more posts from me...

LOL I'm a crack flasha too. I didn't think this phone was THAT big a failure for T-Mobile though.

I have not tried any other Roms on this phone. But I know what you mean. When I had my G1, I was always looking foward to The nightlys of My Roms.

thats the one thing i miss about htc phones is the fact that i can switch between sense roms then try aosp for a while

I never wanted to try a sense rom. The Widgets are pretty but it reminds me of my Windows Mobile days... even then I built roms without sense.
Once you try MIUI, sense is a laugh.
I think I've converted over to MIUI full time. Updates aren't as frequent to cut back on my daily urge and all the little tweaks really make the phone a joy to use. CM7 is great too but MIUI is like a polished CM7.
Nightlies are fun for a while but with the G2x, there is rampant APN and GPS issues that rear up occasionally that have bitten me several times. Nothing like being in a strange city with barely any service and your GPS is boinked.
I'll probably flip back and forth once they settle down with the GB source but reading the nightly thread it seems there are some big problems in the past few releases that I'm in no hurry to rush into.
I think I'm enjoying MIUI too much.

Look like 124 is out. I wonder if the 4G/H icon issues is phone dependent or nightly build.

Nothing new for the g2x in the new build

I've been rocking the nightly's since 55 and haven't had any trouble with any of them. GPS and both cameras have worked for me the whole time. Got 124 earlier today.
I third the MIUI is an iPhone rom...if you like it you'll probably love an iPhone...haha
CM7 has it on lock. I have bluez IME and can connect a wiimote to my phone and map all the wiimote keys to do any ascii I want. From there I can play pretty much any emulator with the wiimote and hdmi out to a projector or tv.
I have netflix it runs fast as hell and the battery lasts 3-4 days if I'm only using it for phone calls. Lasts about 6 hours if I'm gaming or watching movies.
Only complaint is they didn't steal the HDMI settings from the stock rom yet, so it will only auto out hdmi to 1080p tv's. So if you only have a 720p tv, probably not for you, but the perks might still make it worth it.

Oh yah, and if your worried about your settings. Don't wipe anything when you update your nightly. Download however you do, if you use rom manager, just say no when it asks to install, then shut down, load your recovery, flash the new nightly right over your old one. All setting remain the same. (Keep a good nandroid backup at all times and every once in a while restore your backup and flash new nightly over that for good measure)

Just install a custom launcher. I can't stand the iPhone style either so I run adw launcher.
Miui is the most customizable room out there by FAR.

[Q] Best ROM for the MT.

I'm coming from LG Revolution land and my girlfriend has the MT. She wants her phone to be like mine and be able to tether, get rid of the dumb VM boot animation (and the power off animation if possible), and have a different theme more like mine which is kindof like GB but at the same time completely different. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.
Also, I'm a major fan of the thanks button and I hit it everytime someone helps me out.

Let's see...
PunkROM has a couple extra themed apps and in some respects looks more like Gingerbread and sometimes a little different; it's also been out longer than mine.

I've tried them all except for punk and its come down to bouncing back and forth between cm7 and miui. why would you settle for froyo when gingerbread is so stable now? For a minute miui was the best but now that the beta cm7 are fully functional and butter smooth I am finding myself less inclined to flash and that is amazing! Ruined my Samsung captivate while I was still learning, be very careful going back to froyo roms from gingerbread on that one. Darkys killed it! My Triumph however seems unbrickable and is overclocked and stable. The stock rom was a joke and I got rid of that clumsy bastard the third day. Thanx to all the devs for working hard and kikin ass!

In CM7 - You don't--at this time anyways--unless you don't mind certain things not working since the only kernel is old and outdated at this time or unless you build your own OC kernel for CM7.
There's a couple of OC kernels available for FROYO roms atm. Just check the Dev section.

CM7 or MIUI are good ROMs, now they have worked out most of the bugs for this phone besides HDMI and something with camera mirror.
I switched over from the Optimus V and I have a gtablet, im really pleased by CM7 on this phone. I haven't had any problems at all, and the battery life with the last two releases on CM7 is great.
I will try the MIUI ROM as well though, I just chose CM7 because I have had prior experience with it.

I've never had any problems with my phone on the stock-ish ROM, but then again even on my desktop Skype appears to be mirrored (although the other side is okay)... from what I've heard, this is the way desktop Skype works.

I believe the HDMI and Mirroring problem are the custom ROM bugs, but I didn't stay on stock ROM longer then one day to find out how it was.
I am used to rooting and custom ROM's now, for me it's interesting to try different things out customizing my phone.
Edit: sorry for the confusion if I implied that HDMI and Mirroring on the camera are stock ROM bugs.

I'm refusing to switch to the Gingerbread Cyanogen mod simply because it doesn't have hdmi output. Even though I can't use the HDMI output anyway. There's probably a pill to alleviate that.

I'm refusing until you can use wifi with bluetooth, and the niggling audio bugs I keep reading about go away.
I hear that the gingerbread development is winding down now, so we may just be stuck with current cm7 and miui for a while...without fixes.
If I could just figure out what is killing battery so much faster than my optimus V, I'd be happy....

b_randon15 has a newer cm7 kernel that he claims takes care of the wifi/bluetooth issue. I'd give it a try, but I cant get clockwork to work!

Advertise CoreDroid elsewhere, he's asking specifically about CM7. Anyhow, I used to run it but the AOSP camera is a joke. There's always Senseless roms that keep the camera, but they don't feel as light weight as CM7 did. Right now, I'm waiting for CM9 before I go back to Cyanogenmod.

Id like to keep this a cm thread but thanks for letting us know bossman.

Been swapping ROMs every few days lately, but at the moment I'm on HyperSensation which is based on CM7.
CM7 is great, apart from the lack of 1080p support and sub-par camera app (compared to Sense), along with the buggy sensor usage (i.e., battery drain after an app has used the compass). Apparently the 3D Gallery was causing some issues with battery drain too.

The camera works great for me quality wise and we all know that the video recorder just crashes the phone but who cares? Unless u film stuff on the reg.
sent from an HTC sensation on CM7 alpha #10

For me, a 95% working AOSP ROM is better than a 100% working Sense ROM.
So I'm running CM7 as a daily. The battery life is good (At least a full day. 2 if I don't get a lot of calls on day 1)
It's smooth and speedy.
There are a few quirks though. I can't get wifi calling to work for some reason (though it apparently works for others in CM7) and I have 1 app that won't play properly.
Other than that....

Which app wont play?
Sent from my Sensation on CM7 Alpha#10

Currently running HyperSensation, and it's absolutely perfect.. I love how minimalistic it is, I actually uninstalled more apps that I don't use. Videorecording Isn't that important to me, and and I don't think the aosp camera is THAT bad lol. I also underclocked to 1ghz, because it doesn't need to be higher Imo. I'm 100% happy with this until a mode stable ICS rom is available.

Full Screen Caller ID.
The app loads and I can adjust all the settings, but it won't overlay the full screen caller picture. Doesn't work in SelfKang's version or Hyper Sensation.

Daily driver is RevertedASOP 1.2 (CM7 based) with Faux's latest kernel. Everything works well for me, and underclocked to around 1ghz it is way faster and smoother than my test ICS rom. More than a full day of battery life too.

Only thing kept me from using is the crappy Launcher Pro performance.

I'm only commenting because you asked. I love CM, but not any of the Sensation builds. I've tried several kernels to no avail. 4-5 times a day I'm removing my battery because of freezing. I've done clean installs and not even installed programs to see if my installed apps were the problems and I still had reboots. I'll wait for a stable version of CM9. My glacier(mytouch 4g) has 7.2 unofficial and it never reboots or freezes. I'm waiting for that kind of stability. Don't get me wrong though I absolutely love CM! Go devs!

I have not liked the sensation build of cyanogen mod either. Lost of stuff that made it apparent to me that this was definitely not a priority to the cyanogen mod team. I am however anxiously waiting for the cm9 for the sensation

I would use MIUI but the latest build has a wifi bug where it auto turns wifi on and eats the battery.

Well I don't mean to be a downer again but I have noticed sense about the 15 of last month we Sensation owners haven't heard anything new towards the advancement of CM9 for our device. Maybe it might be time for me to get a Nexus. Has anyone else here heard of anything at all about CM9 and Sensation?

If u mean nexus s i just came from one. Awesome phones but they get boring really fast. Il sum it up for you. Nexus s runs cm7 perfect. It runs miui buttery smooth. The cm9 alpha roms suck. The ics official rom for the nexus is garbage. More power to ya for going with a nexus it just got boring for me fast. Plus the phone feels like a plastic toy compared to our sensations. Im sure good stuff will cone to the sensation.

recommend a rom for me

i just traded my htc vivid for my bros samsung infuse. I loved the vivid but my bro wants it and infuse was mine in the first place. did some swapping around with my brothers. I just hate the stock rom and all the bloatwares. Can someone recomment a smooth stable rom for the infuse? also one that can tether.

Which Rom is a personal preferance.
I currently run F1 Innovation, Fast, Stable and smooth. Not sure about tethering.

Check out the super thread: Infuse Super Thread

The current miui does tethering very stable and fast. Also the battery drain seems to be fixed which is a huge plus.

Still i haven't installed it but I read that CyanogenMod 7 works flawlessly on the Infuse. I read you can use it to connect usb devices to your phone so i guess it can do pretty anything, tethering included.
The only thing that seems to work crappy is audio through bluetooth but i bet it's not a big problem : bluetooth is one of the most stupid and unsecure tecnologies ever invented.
You will find on this forum tons of informations about roms...just read it!

I have a preference for Infuse based ROM on my infuse.
they are listed in the dev section under superthread

Don't install a Samsung based rom, which is everything but CM7 or MIUI. Both CM7 and MIUI are AOSP based. MIUI is too much like iOS for my liking. I have been running CM7 on my infuse since I got it, and before that on my inspire, and before that on my captivate. CM7 is the only way to go.

For what it's worth, I'm running CM7, the newest nightly on 1/19. Very stable (some apps I had while running stock Froyo or Infused 2.2.3? would force close alot, not on CM7, but it's a very selective few apps I use for work), very smooth, very fast, overclockable to at least 1.4 gHz for most people. Some people do 1.6 gHz but it's not stable for my phone. You can undervolt it by some amounts for that extra battery savings, and it's constantly having features added to it, like T9 dialing that I discovered was included (much MUCH love for this small thing).
For all the added features, I regularly go through my phone and make sure I don't have apps that do things that are now part of the phone, so I keep the app list short and sweet. Having redundant features means that 2 things are trying to do the same thing, and I'd rather punch out my battery more and more without giving up some conveniences I had Dialer One on my phone, and it's not that great looking, but I had it just for the T9 dialing. Once I saw that CM7 had a T9 dialing feature, I uninstalled Dialer One. The music app, while not as heavy on the eye candy, made me get rid of Doubletwist and Airsync. Airsync never really worked great, for me at least.
CM7 doesn't have fully working bluetooth on the Infuse, some people have trouble with auto brightness (my personal preference is that I'd rather use the status bar slider to adjust brightness), and HDMI out doesn't work. It also has some extra niceties, such as theming, a DSP Manager app (that controls audio levels and equalizers), and is pretty much always being updated.
The drop down bar can be customized almost entirely, and because bluetooth doesn't work, not that I want it, I got rid of that icon. I replaced it with a screen timeout toggle. It has many more options than that.
One thing, and I don't think this is CM7 exclusive, is that sometimes my text messages won't send. I'm using GOSMS as my messaging app until the stock messaging app starts sending ALL of my texts. MMS relies on a data connection so I tend to pull the drop down and enable that when I want to send a picture or download one. Once it starts working the same way, I'm uninstalling GOSMS because it tends to be heavy and sometimes lags up noticeably.
I don't use bluetooth, and I don't think I've ever opened that HDMI dongle packaging, much less tried to use it. While it would be nice if they functioned, I get from day to day without even thinking about those. Your mileage may vary.

I'll throw my support behind CM7. I briefly tried ZEUS, but switched back after a couple days.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

The only way to get a rom that has everything working like it should is to flash an infused based rom ...NOT an aosp rom..... cm7 is good if you don't need Bluetooth....as cm7 and miui use a different bt stack then Samsung ...so in my opinion that issue wont be fixed....and they have been known to have data issues....flash ANY of the infuse based Rome if you want complete functionality....period
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Like others say if you need BT audio or HDMI stick with Samsung roms. I could care less about both, i have been bouncing back and forth between CM7 and MIUI for months now whenever there is a noteworthy update. Both are very quick and clean in my opinion and you can't go wrong with either one. I have tried most Samsung roms available but they are always short lived on my device...they always feel as if lacking something. Props to the devs for making them available though!!!

thank guys for the responses.. I am currently running the cm7.. looks great and smooth but i got a few issues maybe its the phone itself.
first: seems like my internet/wifi doesnt stay on at times or its not using wifi even tho its turned on.
second: the browser seems to be very slow and it force closes at times maybe it the site that i go to. ESPN scoreboards, i bet a lot so i check scores frequently and open a lot of pages.
third: yeah, battery does seem to go fast maybe because of the excessive use of the web.
BTW do you guys have to put in any apns?? I didnt'.

I don't think it's your phone. I'm still new at this, but as I understand it, you can make/flash tweaks and different modems that may help with the issues you encounter. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Go to wifi settings, hit menu button and go to advanced. Under wifi sleep policy choose never. Should fix the wifi connection issues your having.

I've tried many, but Zeus is the best one that's fully functional (BT and HDMI).

Definately Zeus for now. It's snappy, everything works and theres even a few themes as well as an ICS launcher. All the AT&T bloat has been removed. I used to prefer stock, but Zeus made me convert. It's just more responsive than any other rom for the Infuse.

It's all a matter of personal preference. I've run about 12-15 different ROMs on my Infuse so far. I keep coming back to Sensation 1.1. I really like being able to edit my status bar.
I didn't care for the camera in CM7, but it is a very nice running ROM. Only thing I miss is not having an extended power menu.
Just play with a bunch of them until you find one you like.

Waiting until the official ICS update comes out

I played around with the custom ICS today & I like the interface 'n all but there were a couple of problems (most noticeably, WiFi wasn't connecting). So I'll just stick with GB until the official version comes out. How does everyone else like ICS?

The smoothness and battery life is a musthave, the instability sucks, but the battery life and overall performance is so great, that I can't force myself to reflash 1.17 and a Sense rom.

Sense 3.5/3.6 looks really ugly to me.. but probably because I prefer the blue look that I get with the Blue Sky skin in Sense 3.0. Even with that skin on Sense 3.6, everything is completely black.. and sleek round buttons of 3.0 are replaced with really fugly huge rectangular buttons; it looks like a step backwards in UI. The browser is very fluid, but the top controls don't look quite right either.
Hopefully that's just a beta thing since it's a leaked test build. Might push me to whack out Sense and go CM9 down the line. Then again, even AOSP keeps changing with every version.. why can't Google design one decent looking UI and run with it?

i also created an extreme blue theme

I use Elegancia ICS 2.1.6. This is blue, stable as a rock and blazing fast. Never had any problem with this ROM.

I use Android Revolution HD 6.1.0 and it's AMAZINGLY stable and the battery life is epic. So much so that I'm almost afraid to update to the latest version.
23hrs 24m on battery, Display on 2h 22m, 1h 1m of voice calling. My best up-time before I reset a few days was 144hrs with no random reboots or other issues as seen in the screenshots below
Edit: I don't even use Juice Defender anymore, I keep data (or wifi) on all the time

I'll wait. I rooted and romed the crap out of my n1, I don't mind waiting for ics ota.

Currently on VI 3.0. For the most part I like it, it feels really fluid and snappy and quite stable. But I'm considering going back to GB for two reasons: Can't run juicedefender and wifi tethering is broken. Can't post in the developer's thread because of new account...

It seems the release isn't that far... HTC hub started working for me today on AR HD 6.2.1 (it didn't worked before at least in my phone)

I can't complain about Wifi not working. Tried four or more ICS Roms, all are fine! I think the devs do a great job!

That's ROM related.. My ICS-HTC Hub worked out the box since first leak over a month ago. Nothing new.

That might be so but it's not working for me. The Sensation would broadcast and I can connect, but I can't browse the web. When I go into manage users, there's never an IP address for my computer, only the MAC address.

baadnewz fixed wi-fi conenctivity and wi-fi calling in his latest rom.

I am using ICS ROMs since they started getting posted...I don't like the idea of going backwards so to speak however I wish there was a pure AOSP ROM with working bluetooth. I can't wait to get my hands on CM9

Hi, Someone else having a issue said to try this which worked for them:
Turn on portable hotspot. Pull down the notification bar and go into the hotspot settings. Turn it off but without exiting hit the option button and go into advance, then lan settings and hit reset. Go back change ur name and password and turn it on.

Tried it, no dice. Thanks for trying though. Hopefully it'll be resolved in the next update.

Have a look HERE in the Ics fixes thread. The work around for wi-fi tether is about the eighth one down in the first post.

waiting.
from the amaze camera failing or wifi/wifi calling not working its not worth it at this sstage. I have the Elegancia GB ROM and i don't use Sense so it is fast and what I need right now.
I will wait until there is a stable ROM after the ICS release so I can tweak and get the Amaze camera ported over. i LOVE that thing.

I have used the test leak RUU roms and a few custom ICS roms. The performance is snappy and battery life was best with the stock, non-'hex-edited' kernels, although there is a sweetspot I have found that works for me: use the custom kernel (or stock for XE) at 1.5 GHz (not 1.7 GHz, as I have had random phone crashes/hangs/restarts etc.) and enable the 2nd core. Works fine if you can put up with the small number of bugs you might come across, although most of these have been ironed out with sense 3.6 and the custom roms are always updating their firmware/rom base.
Loving ICS, cant wait for official release and kernel sources for more power and battery life
