[Q] Questions about choosing a ROM... - Milestone XT720 General

Hey guys-
I'm getting kind of fed up with the performance/stability of my phone on stock, and I'm tired of waiting for the official 2.2 upgrade. So I'd like to venture into the world of Froyo ROMs.
I've watched reverendkjr's videos and feel comfortable doing this, but I don't really know which one to pick. I know there's Dexter's and khalpowers, and I guess a third MIUI one now, but ultimately I just want the best performance and stability possible. Also, its my understanding the khalpowers ones come with non-default skins on the ui- is there a way to change the skin to default android or to another skin? What else differentiates the ROMs from each other?
Sorry if this has been discussed before- I searched for a while on the forum and couldn't really find anything.

Try this: http://www.multiupload.com/BUDRPCK8EO StealBlueEpic Optimized. Excellent preformance. I'm with StealBlueEpic and I did optimized it myself and I'm pretty sure this will work the same way. As for the theme... yes! You can change your themes true updating'em true Open Recovery or Theme installer from Nandroidiani. I'm personaly using http://www.mediafire.com/?rx0f4443571d05d DarkFroyoRemix from 3rdstring and it just looks Awesome!

Most of the "guts" of the ROMs are very similar now (except the MIUI which I think is pretty different). If you prefer a stock-flavored ROM, you can try Dexter's 1.3 with the bugfix v3 patch. I think Khal's are the most updated at the moment--there are some things he's tried that I'm still evaluating before adding them to bugfix v4.

Thanks, guys. On Dext3r's now and LOVING it- faster, more stable, everything I was looking for!

Hi,
Does Dexter's ROM have gallery buttom working ?

Nope. None of the ROMs based on Dexter's 2.2.1 have working gallery button. You can long press the camera shutter to open the camera, though. The FM Radio volume also doesn't work (but fwals has a modified FMRadio.apk so that you can change the radio volume from within the FMRadio app). I don't know about the status of the gallery button or FM radio support in MIUI.

Thank you, I hope it will be fix soon.

Gallery isn't working, that's right. But my FM-Radio volume does work. Just listening and changing sound volume.

Details please! Are you using fwals' FMRadio.apk or the FM radio volume works everywhere (lockscreen etc)?

How to find out whether it is fwals Radio?
I am using dexter's 1.3 and 3rdstrings "orange" dark froyo theme.
I will try it out later with lockscreen etc as I have no ear-phones on me right now.

Also there is rusmod for russian speaking users.
It also using everything that we can found/change.

The volume button only works within the FM app.
Doesn't work on lock-screen or elsewhere.

[ROM] Virtudude's Rogers Mod [v3 - 6/4/2009]

I've been working on a mod of haykuro's Rogers ROM and it turned out decent, so I figured I'd share it. My primary motivation is to maintain a stable build with Exchange support for the G1.
Here's what's in it:
v1:
Kernel and modules from JF 1.51
Root (SuperUser, Term, etc)
Amazon MP3
Voice Search
Meltus Louder Sound profile
Multitouch Browser
Removed Rogers apps
Removed HTC Sync
Paid apps support
ext3 AppsToSD support
dalvikvm from ION
v2:
Everything above plus ...
RIL from ION (should fix the "My Location" issues some users were having)
Upgraded Meltus to v4 (supposedly clearer sound)
v3:
Removed the Multitouch Browser in favor of the default HTC Browser (attached to this post in case you want to add it back)
Removed the Meltus Louder Sound profile
Added Lucid's awesome do everything script
Here's the ROM:
v1: http://drop.io/rogersvirtududev1
v2: http://drop.io/rogersvirtududev2
v3: http://drop.io/rogersvirtududev3 Mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4E8OIOQ4 (thanks robpet2)
Here's the modified JF build environment I used:
v1: http://drop.io/rogersvirtududebuildv1
v2: http://drop.io/rogersvirtududebuildv2
v3: http://drop.io/rogersvirtududebuildv3
I'm including the build environment because I know it's frustrating not having the tools to build things yourself.
Much of this stuff was ripped from ROMs from JF and cyanogen, so thanks to those guys, and of course, thanks haykuro for another awesome port.
Note: Like the original ROM from haykuro, this requires SPL 1.33.2005.
Thanks for creating your own Thread!!
This rom is super stable and blazing fast!!
Thanks for all your work on this!!
Yeah 1+.
Great stuff virtudude. I'm just updating my phone right now. Will post any issues later.
For future releases, do you know if you can add 5 desktops rather than 3? I know someone has done this here. I am not sure how hard is this or if its even possible.
bluetooth
Can anybody verify if their Bluetooth headset is working with this build? Other than that I Love this one! Id put it a notch above ion. Apps2sd no exchange no Rogers crap lol and no force close on the camera = heaven in a cell phone. Thanx for modding it! I hope its not my headset that's the problem.
I went from JF 1.50 --> 1.51, then to Cyanogen's 3.2 --> 3.3.4, then to ckrest's Rogers R2, and then to Virtududes V1 --> V2 --> and now on V3. This is the best build I've had to date. All of the others were good. I had few to no problems with the JF stuff, then even Cyanogen's experimental 3.3.4 ran great for me, and as good as those were, this is even better. Thanks for the work.
This is good to have your/its own thread.
Any chance of using cyanogen's kernel in this build? Its so fast..

I'll look into it. I wouldn't do it without cyanogen's permission, though, considering that is unique to his ROM.

Exchange works perfectly on this build.
Just HTC (desktop) sync was removed.
I went from
1. JF-1.5
2. Rogers - Haykuro
3. Optimized Hero ROM - R1.3
4. Hero (Rosie) - Haykuro Origianl
5. Virtudude's Rogers Mod v3
5. Cyanogen's 3.3.6. (currently running) w/ HTC Hero v1.0 Theme
in a matter of 4 days.
Love Cyanogen's 3.3.6 (speed) but love Rogers V3 (camera). If you could get the speed of cyanogen's build in your Rogers build that would be awesome.
Great Stuff.
Originally being against the removal of multi-touch browser, I tend to like the HTC more now.
How often would you use two fingers to zoom? I liked the double tap better as it zoomed in and out quite easily.
I think the one on Hero has flash working in it. Is it hard to get that one in without losing the snapiness?
desktop
I actually meant no desktop lol I never used it. I don't use exchange either but I don't mind it. I'm just gonna watch this thread and hope somebody else ha a buetooth headset issue. Id hate 2 leave this build but I use my g1 for music @ work and there's no way I'm goin back to wired headset after bragging about my stereo Bluetooth! Lol

Helluva job sir. This rom is pretty fast and superfast with the overclocker widget. This will definitely hold me over until a better Hero build comes out.
good job on this!
anyway for you to implement this into your builds?

thanks.
Thanks for this, Hero rom was just way to slow and unstable to use.
Multitouch browser
Does the apk he provided work for u guys....i mean replacin the v3's browser with his multitouch apk
Another DL link
ive tried several times to download the rom, it downloads and shows it being 56mb but when it finishes it only shows it at 5mb...i noticed it when i first tried to flash it and it was telling it the file was unsigned...is anyone else having trouble with the link?

[ROM][32aNR]Robomix v0.1 Wifi,BT,GPS,Camera,rot/Gallery3D 02/04/10

Taking some experience from porting Villain roms,
i decided to make a maxmix based on a new SPRINT LEAK Damagecontroll 2.05, thanks damageless
I stripped it from all, i think at least, sprint stuff,
which is at no use outside sprint network.
It is running on .29 kernel with sanpeis patches, thanks sanpei
It is a GSM rom, but based on CDMA, so it is problem with locals,
i turned on languages, but very little things are translated.
If someone have a sollution on that, please let me know.

...::: YOU NEED NEW RADIO/SPL/ext2/3 :::...
FULL WIPE NEEDED
Robomix v0.1

ADDED
Quick System info (you can kill processes with it), ES File Explorer, Gallery 3D (rotating works!),
Launcher, Launcher2, Home Switcher, Live Wallpapers, Brut Maps, Market Enabler, A2SD... + other.
REMOVED
Everything from Sprint, exept animated boot thing

Wifi, GPS, BT, Camera thanks to Sanpeis experimental lib, Rotating Gallery 3D,
You Tube SD/HD, Friendstream WIDGET...
NOT WORKS / PROBLEMS
LEDs, May be problem with MMS, then look here,
may still be some probs with camera, the lib is still experimental,
Before install i recommend to clean your SDCARD from stuff wich is not yours,
like, rosi_scroll or Android, leave your stuff only, like DCIM, Music or nandroid
Ok, now as allways, i need you to test it and repport, so we can make it better.
I am not so experienced to make such makeovers and mixes so there may be some bugs, which are not in Villain.
Happy testing

live wallpapers works, in launcher or launcher2, you choose it with home switcher...
this FC, is strange it is there but just at the begining... and not always.
any way gonna check it later.
If this includes the Sense UI Launcher.. does That launcher have live wallpapers?

I used the home switcher and still livewallpapers is buggy (for example the grass wallpaper close when the phone is locked)
The force close has appeared in first and second boot about 2 times but its not appearing now
The 3d gallery is awesome and works perfectly (no crashes till now )
wifi works fine
still testing
This rom is very fast
Thanks

in sense launcher you can only preview them but they won't apply (at least for me).

SenseUI launcher doesn't work with live wallpapers. As robocik said, you MUST use Launcher2(Nexus launcher) or the normal launcher.
Anyway....I also got a FC with this OMADM, but it continued to FC every time I restarted the phone(4 times total from first boot) so I just removed it and it's ok for now. Does anyone even know what is this app and what is it for? I never saw it in any other ROM so far...maybe it's some sprint app? Also what is this Device Self Service app...when I start it, it just closes on me(guess another sprint leftover? ). Also bugs from 5 v04 experimental are still there regarding camera. Still same bug with shutter sound and no possibility to zoom. Still, this rom is BLAZING fast One question tho...is there a possibility to replace this phone.apk with the one in 5 v04 because I liked the darkened theme :$
Hi Robocik,
Great Rom buddy. Fast and no problems with camera til now. The only problem I have is brightness full after close camera. I think is because this rom is based on Droid Eris (who has a light sensor). I turned off the automatic brightness change and now it's ok. Keep doing the good work.
what about htc sync, it works?
Hey all friend here ,
The is base on Legend or hero Browser ?
Because Legend Browser will add the Dictionary check ...
Thank you !!

[Rom][32a][3.22] BetA - GSM Release 2.1 Hero port (06/08/2010)

This is a port of Paul O'Briens release of chunghwa 2.1 hero original thread
ported to the old radio with a couple of additions by me
using pershoots .34 kernel from cm the rom is very fast
things known to be broken :
Bluetooth (never can be fixed for hero ports to this radio... hope to have a nice new radio kernel as well )
APNS - make sure you can enter yours or use APN backup and restore from market
things working fine :
camera has some bugs but it works fine and image is fine ... mostly
music
video
all apps included
updated to newest superuser app by chains DD much better
RC1
edit : seems broken things are incoming call ringtone... very minor - can confirm 3d is working though...
I just play around with sense etc really prefer aosp like cyanogen mod as it is generally better and faster
will see what I can do to fix the ringtone issue though - I got my gmail fine though..
Thanks to Case for your help appreciate it - your advice helped this work out perfect - and so did your rom files i used some of them
also to cyanogen pershoot and bcrook as always and ofcourse paul obrien
reserved
reserved for future updates etc
Alan, you're our "Hero"
Thanks for all your work for our Magic
updated to stable release - everything works but bt and 3d here and 3d fix is coming tomorrow night
also like i said will have an updated cm version - hope new radio kernel works
..
The ringer does not work, can not hear anything, only the vibrate works ..

Re: [Rom][32a][3.22] Stable - GSM Release 2.1 Hero port (06/08/2010)
Is this available for the MT3G Fender LE/1.2 with the 2.X radio? Just inquiring? Not new to Modding (Windows Mobile), new to Android though kind of.
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
3d should work in this release - think originally i just had a bad install of neocore...
will work on a more substantial release to fix the remaining problems and see what can be done to speed up the rom
RIngtone is not coming just thte vibrate, apart from that rest seems to be fine, will be great if there is a fiz for it soon great job though
Nice work
Music app didn't work, I don't have a logcat but you can recreate the issue by plugging in your headset and playing a song.
Hello and first thanks for the great ROM! Run really fast and smooth! But i got fc on weather app (HTC)! And the phone also only vibrate on incomming calls! Maybe an update????
Thanks

CM 6.1 or Liberated FR008

I have finally gotten my Aria rooted and running with both Liberated FR008 and CM 6.1. I am looking for people who have tried both and why they decided one or the other. I like the way CM lets you customize the Mod itself but I miss the Sense widgets that the Liberated has on it. I'm hoping that some of you have found things within either Rom that I have not discovered yet to push me in either direction. Thanks for the help.

CM without a doubt. Yea the sense widgets are nice and fancy but to be honest, that's a small sacrifice for complete customizability.

Do you use a Bluetooth headset with your Aria? If so, then CM 6.1 fully implements all of the BT Voice Dialing features that have been added to Froyo 2.2, whereas HTC has not fully implemented all of the BT Voice dialing features. Both of these ROMs will launch the Voice Dialing app by pressing the headset button, however, the Voice Dialing app can apparently be started in BT mode which allows you speak the voice command through the BT headset. On HTC Sense the Voice Dialing app will launch, but it is not running in BT mode, so you have to speak the commands into the phone's mic.
Another thing I noticed is that HTC is not using the Froyo email client which allows for a combined inbox.
Other than that, to each his own. I am running CM 6.1, but I have installed the HTC_IME keyboard; it is the only thing from Sense that I really missed.
They are both excellent roms, but I must agree with the above statements. Especially since CM is coming out with 2.3 for Aria hopefully in the near future.
I liked the sense widgets as well but I was able to fix that craving with beautiful widgets and launcher pro. Life is good on CM 6.1.1. Now if I could just fix my exchange bug that keeps showing up every couple of days...
None. I would choose Liberated R012. Works flawless and it doesn't lag like the Froyo ROM. CM is great but the basic android looks horrible to be honest.
A few things keep me on Sense, even though I really like CM. Last time I ran CM6, it did not have copy/paste in the Email app or the Browser whereas Sense has it. Gingerbread seems to have better text selection, so when that's available for Aria, I'm there!
Also, Gallery 3D does not run well on my phone.
Lockscreen gestures on CM are a pretty huge feature for me... without unlocking the phone, I can draw a heart to call my wife, an H to call home, a C to activate the camera and a V to activate the camcorder. You can use a gesture to do almost anything on the phone, so these are just a few basic examples.
guys I am looking at rooting my phone, but instead of flashing a whole new rom onto it, can I just do the root and have clockwork recovery installed, then can I install just the froyo update ontop of what I already have on my phone?

There is no Froyo update for your phone.
so the froyo rom thats release and is used by attn1 etc isnt that the froyo update? Cause I heard its available in Asia atm.
Also without the update or flashing a new room, but rooting the phone and installing titanium backup etc, I know that I can delete bloatware apps using titanium backup, can I also move apps to sd without having froyo installed but as the phone is rooted, will it allow me to do so?
Thanks again

ATTN is a rom, it is not an update. You have to start from scratch. Also you cannot remove bloatware with Titanium or any other app.
Liberated, but without sense launcher. I love the way sense sync does it's job and keep my contacts updated with their fb and twitter. I know there is ways for this in cm but its not the same. I use launcherpro because sense launcher is kinda laggy.
You will probably get bored sense Widgets after some time. I just like clock and weather widget and there is absolutely the same known as fancy widgets.

I agree that R012 seemed more stable than FR008, and a tad more responsive. However, R012 does not support app2sd so I can't have as much crap on my phone as I do now. I did slim down the FR008 ROM a bit by removing the Mail, MMS, calendar apps, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube as well as most the Sense widgets (you delete them from ATTN1's zip file before flashing).
I have tried CM6, many people have good things to say about it but the UI just seems so... unpolished for lack of better word. Yeah, this is eye candy, but I like the Sense eye candy. Having 7 home screens helps too. Last but not least, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to disable the home screen animation and it annoys me to no end so CM had to go. Credit where credit is due... it does seem very zippy on the Aria.

Lag? Maybe it's because I am using Launcher Pro but my phone moves on both FR008 and CM 6.1.1. Very crisp and very responsive. The only thing that lags for me is the gallery app in CM. Everything in FR008 is butter.

Liberated, but without sense launcher. I love the way sense sync does it's job and keep my contacts updated with their fb and twitter. I know there is ways for this in cm but its not the same. I use launcherpro because sense launcher is kinda laggy.
You will probably get bored sense Widgets after some time. I just like clock and weather widget and there is absolutely the same known as fancy widgets.

I second launcherpro! I paid for launcherpro and beautiful widgets and I don't miss sense at all. Launcherpro has a nice calendar widget(like sense) and a nice messaging widget as well as some others. Launcherpro is faster than sense for me as well. Beautiful widgets can look just like the sense clock/weather widget but with tons of skins to choose from. Both are worth every penny.

No, you can't. Titanium backup will not do this on nand-locked phones, even with root. Until S-OFF is available for the Aria, it is nand-locked.
The Froyo IS available for the Aria if you have clockwork - just flash LA FR008 or CM6 - soon CM7.

Soon CM7?? yay!
Sounds exciting. How long are we going to wait approximately for a RC version?

Like MIUIXT's Speed but hate the UI, what to do??

as title suggested, I have been enjoying the MIUIXT, it is the most reponsive n stable rom out of all other I have used, including, Dexter 1.3 + bugfix v3, CBW 2.2, wanhu, 2.1 Strikes back
the problem is I hate the Setting Menu, Option Menu, Lock Screen so much, does anyone how have them back to Stock Android ?
or is there other rom has the same Stability and Speed ??
After a lot of testing the only one that has the same speed (if not faster) is eclair strikes back imo. Unfortunately it has stability issues sometimes (freezes fairly often). I'm on it right now.
I've used every ROM including WanHu and Khal WanHu.
v4
you can try khals v4 rom. its good with a little overclocking and also has a LOT of free ram. didnt bother using swap. very responsive for me and very few FCs too. the most stable rom. its as good as, if not better than miui on my phone.
WanHu is just as speedy

I'd agree with that. I find Wanhu's to be very responsive + the FM Radio volume works, the Media key works & magnification during cursor positioning works. Personally the MIUI Lock screen & responsiveness are the only things I really liked about MIUI.
You can change menu in setting to get the android style, use other launcher and custom your lock screen. It will be fine.
But i think you should try Wanhu.
lol, guess I need to move back to froyo: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones-with.html
You know what I find it hilarious? People talk about fragmentation in android a lot, but the only apps/things that are froyo+ exclusive that I want are google ones (new market, music, youtube, gmail). Google is the one who is making everything fragmented for me lol.

Bingo. I couldn't care less about flash. I found the lack of animated .gif more annoying than lack of flash.
Yeah, right after I first installed 2.2 I immediately installed flash because that's what everyone talks about for 2.2. I uninstalled it a few minutes later, wondering what use I have for it on my phone (only slows things down).
Anyways I guess I'm gonna put MIUI on again. WanHu and Khal's ROM are good, but for some reason don't play nice with my fav app SPB shell 3D and MIUI seems a bit faster I think. Just don't like all the IOSy stuff, but what can you do... Bah, I wish someone would get some progress with CM7 already. Wish there was a way to get a bunch of experienced devs to just port it easily lol.
i'm back to MIUI from WanHu, MIUI runs more smooth and faster. My apps run all fine on MIUI.
