I've been given a new replacement Wizard, so im back to my old crappy T-mobile ROM (cringes). I have not been on for ages, so i just thought id ask you to recommend me a good new ROM.
Im looking for a largeish pagepool so it will run nice and quick. I have an SD for programs etc . I wouldnt mind some decent software as well, not really bothered about the stupid cube or any of that ****, but HTC Home etc working correctly would be nice. See what you guys think
There are currently many great new roms here, so long as your phone is unlocked and ready to receive the new roms. There are sticky posts at the top that tell you how to tell if, and how to unlock the phones accordingly.
G3 or G4 ??
The latest roms here are working well for the majority of the users - and each offers a little something for everyone, depending on your needs - one may be better than the other.
Slim 6.1 / TNT lastest / KhanX / Octavio 6.3 / Vanilla roms
All great roms, read the posts, see what users are having issues with - and pick the best one for your needs. No easy answer - try them, and use the one that best fits your needs.
Good luck
Looks like they've given me another G3 which is good. I like the the G3 method, allows me to revert back if it ever needs fixing again. Ive been looking at that Slim one, which looks very interesting. TNT is what i had on before, but it sometimes was slow, but that was possibly my fault. If only i could utilize the internal memory and make a bigger pagepool
What would you guys recommend then, based on what im looking for?
Doesnt matter,look at bill_in_mtl his post,just get oneand try,G3 is oke,if you have a G3 device
true it doesnt, but i havnt been here for a while

I think one of the differences between say the TNT and the Slim ROM's is the amount of programs built into them. I have used the Slim ROM and liked it as it has very little included. The TNT has more built in even the offical version has more than I like but that is just me.They all seem to work well. Myself I cooked a very plain 6.0 ROM with theloons kitchen and so far I keep going back to it. Give me a kitchen for the 6.1 ROM and I'm all over it. its right as said that he may release a kitchen for his ROM. That would be great.

Im trying the TNT rom. lets see where i get .
Im going to change the pagepool, whats the maximum recommended? is there any sort of size where the performance wont improve?
Cheers
OK, whacked on TNT. running great, but the Home audio manager (which im very used to using lol) comes up with some error "AudioManager.exe" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate....... etc etc. Is there anyway of signing it, because i know its installed properly!

I think the max page pool is 12Mb but could be wrong. Somep;ace in the system is a place to tell it not to worry about trusted certs. Can't rememebr where it is at but a search will turn up the info.
Kirby
working on finding that place. Now ive upped the pp to 12mb, it runs like a charm. and i installed this SRS WOW driver and its a beast. just going to install home then im sorted
Someone said it might not be, and thats its files missing. but that actual software itself works. it just happens to not execute from the front of home!
Okay, i think i want to change already. When you press the power button, the audio goes off as well that was one of the best features of the old TNT rom. Looks like its time for a change

Just go back to TNT's latest 6.0 ROM it is real nice.
Slim 6.1
By Merlin Reloaded
Super fast and super stable and not loaded up with ANY bull****. That means you can add all the bull**** your self.
I tried TNT 6.1 Rom and even with a huge pagepool it ran slower. I noticed that 6.1 roms run better with a smaller PagePool.
I tried OCtavio's rom but I think it had some annoyances I couldn't live with.
TNT is best in Batery,
Octavio's rom was very good..
But so far my favorite is Merlins 6.1 It has a medium drain on the battery so I bring My charger if I plan to surf the web at starbucks. other than that it will last over a day with normal use. (like 1hr conversation and about 50 text; google downloading mail; and so on. also WiFi G enabled.
ahh, i migth put the slim one on just to try it. but id rather not have it drain battery. for some reason the sound has gone dead on my phone. ive read somewhere its a glitch (ive got that one i posted in below). how do you get the sound back ?

Sounds good. Ill bang it on tonight. Im using one thats real nice, but its just a bit too clustered, if you get what i mean. Theres applications everywhere and its totally unsorted. seems very badly done, but actually it runs great. I wouldnt mind SRS WOW as well and I know TNT has it, so i shall experiment. Does the audio manager boot from HTC Home etc? And does it allow me to turn the screen of when listening to music ?

Well as much as I love OMFGB and CM7 I still LOVE MIUI a million times more. I figure if we can get some guaranteed donations going well may be able to get some of these RIL geniuses going on it.
I'm a poor SOB but I'll throw in $100 via PayPal. $25 up front the rest once data/voice is working on par with the current AOSP runs.

I just noticed something today, had not really paid much attention till I upgraded to the latest Cyanogen 7.1 RC1. I lost my MP3 download software and when I went to look for a new one, there are NONE on the market now. Did I miss something? Not that I'm shocked by any means, just usually something like this would have some pretty huge write-ups about it.
Thanks

Here is a list of all the roms so far.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
Don't forget about Hellraiser, which allows you to run I9000,Captivate and possibly Vibrant roms also(only been tested on I9000 and Captivate Roms).Try'em all til you find your flavor.
And I would not say they are better than Infused or worse. Everybody has a favorite.
Hell, the jk2 leak is running great for me. I mean almost a day and a half battery life, fast, don't need any hacks or work arounds. All the other options bigfau mentioned I've tried, I like speed and stability and this is just what's best for me.

if you do not have to have GB i highly recomend infused 1.6 froyo
been my daily driver since it was 1.4
very fast and stable
FBN
I use serendipity 7 with hell raiser as my daily and really like it. If you don't mind working a bit to customize. Battery is good, got 30 fps working, using jl2 modem, and used the charcoal theme from the website for a clean look.

I recently got my infuse and im ready to shop for some roms. Infused 2.2.3 will be my first try.
Im really trying to go for a red and black theme
Cryogenic mod 7 for me. It's very fast, stable, customizable and works with the wii mote/ps3 controller. Only downside is the normal bluetooth a2dp doesn't work yet. I was on rogers stock gb, but cm7 is better for sure

does it work well with music streaming apps?
I used vevo and youtube no problem, so Pandora and other music streaming must work just as well.
I guess I'm confused as to the point of the original question. Infused hasn't been updated in a month, so you're wanting an alternative? Is that right?
Given that AT&T hasn't released an official Gingerbread ROM (and we're lucky that Rogers did), and the official ROMs are generally the source of custom ROMs, it's really no shock that a) there aren't more custom ROMs for the Infuse and b) Infused hasn't been updated in a month. However, just because it hasn't been updated doesn't mean it's outdated. That's important to note. I mean, short of just slapping a new modem in it and putting a new version number on it, what else is there to do? (Random rhetorical question: If there was a modem added every time a leak came out, and the ROM had a new version number slapped on it, would that be enough to call it "updated" and keep you using it?)
Personally, I use CM7. I use it because I have been using it for ages on my Captivate. It's fast, bloat-free and includes what an OS should include - just the facts, ma'am. If I want anything else, I add it myself. Bluetooth obviously isn't 100% and there are other quirks that pop up from time to time, but it's something I'm willing to deal with and I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. YMMV, of course.
Try MIUI, you'll never look for another new ROM again

Holy moly you can do that? Ha well I recomend either dlev or cm7 the compiled version. This is because dlev is just plain cool and fast (good job big fau) and cm7 is just plain fast and awesome for the people with the need for speed. Dlev has a good blue theme, and cm7 is just endless with their themes. Dlev has everything working except hdmi of course, and cm7 does not have bluetooth and hdmi not working. I recomend either of these two roms though, as they are very stable for me, while I would actually get force closes on infused every once in a while. Oh by the way, cm7 has a newly compiled rom almost every day. Dlev is probably better for a newer flasher though. Ha miui may be good, its based off of cm7 but has an iphone like look to it.
use infused + uckj2 modem and gb kernel
If you need bluetooth for streaming audio or making phone calls (at least with a car stereo) then forget about CM7 or MiUi. Neither work for Bluetooth in this regard.
If you don't, and you like customization, then I'd start with those two ROM's first. MiUi and CM7 are totally different, but both top dogs at what they do.

So far so good with my infuse running Dlev rom
Okay, so I recently rooted my phone, and discovered just how awesome it is to break free of the stock limits imposed on us by the corporations.
However, I have been having a hard time finding the right ROM for me. I've flashed several ROMs so far (at least 4), and I haven't found one that meets my needs yet. Here are the one's I've tried:
CyanogenMod 7.2.0 - It's wonderful; I love every feature. However, a lack of .wma support is a big deal for me, seeing as I use Windows Media Player for a lot things,from managing my library to ripping music off of discs. So a significant portion of my media library has become unuseable. The lack of gapps out of the box was also very annoying.
SmartDroid - It was nice, but it also lacked .wma/.wmv support. It also did not have the features that CyanogenMod had, such as the over/under clocking embedded in the OS, and various other features that allowed for a significant amount of customization.
MookeOS - This was a terrible OS. Very unstable and error-prone. Also lacked key features. To it's credit, however, it was pretty smooth in terms of aesthetics.
CyanogenMod 9.0 - I never got to try it; it bootlooped on me. I waited like 5 hours for it to load up, and it never happened.
There might have been one more, but it too, was bad.
So here's my question:
If I want a ROM that offers a multitude of features, (preferably) a non-Sense OS, and provides good array of performance and customization options out-of-the-box, where do I turn? What ROM is right for me?
Go with MIUI, it is customizable beyond belief and is based off of cyanogenmod. It has lots of features and is really polished and nice looking, not to mention the immense amount of theming you can do. I have been running it for over 6 months now without a single problem. Also it is quite fast
Let me know what you decide on and I hoped I helped

I know that the app PowerAmp will play wma files. Give that a shot. It should work with any ROM. The full version of that app is $5, but you can get a trial and see if it works. There may be other players that do this too.
Get mx player, and use cyanogenmod...great combo

Thank you guys so much for your responses.
I did try a variety of media players (including the aforementioned video player) to solve the problem, but the problem still occurred. I figure that it wasn't the application's fault so much as it was the OS. It just doesn't recognize that particular format (for whatever reason).
I actually flashed EnergyROM earlier today, and I think it's the one for me. It's what I was looking for at the least. So far it has met all of my expectations and more, and I will probably stick with it; I still have plenty of features to play around with.
Thanks to you all again, I really, really appreciate it.
Best of luck to you all, and happy flashing. :laugh:

I've been running JellyTime_R29 for the lest several days, and it is flawless. It is based on CM10, so it might not be what you're looking for but it certainly an incredible option. I think I'll stick with this ROM for a while... The only quirk I've experienced is the camera app changed from JellyBean4.2 camera to the ICS camera and I don't know why. Everything is butter smooth, which is a concern for our device sine it is only a single core processor.... Google Now works and is amazing just to top it off. Extremely customizable ROM.
