I wouldn't say its like cm7 it has a lot of different features, such as a fully customizable kernel (on EVO anyway; not sure if it'll be possible on NS4G). Very lightweight download, super fast. Not a lot of bulk like CM. I've used both CM and SZ for the EVO and id stand by SZ all day. Not knocking CM by any means though. Both are great ROMS. Just a matter of choice.

****how is it not like cm? the "custom" stuff is kernel related, we could definitly use some more kernels on the ns4g. but you gotta remember that all the groundbreaking stuff on the evo isnt applicable to the ns(4g and hdmi).

seriously though, i would love to see more devs working on stuff for the ns4g. im not knockin the rom at all. just pointing out that its cm based...

ok, ok. dont wanna argue. it obviously has the same features that set cm apart from aosp. hope to see this rom soon

OK, first of all, I need to point out that while SZ is NOT CM based, it does incorporate SOME of it's features. Both SZ and CM are based on Google AOSP code.
WiMAX is not a CM feature, it is Google code. We use the Google implementation of 4G in our ROM.
Other than the few CM mods we include, SZ has a set of it's own tweaks, mainly related to our tweaked kernel. We concentrate mostly on performance in our ROM, trying to made it less bloated and more stable than other AOSP variants. Right now, we have an extremely fast and stable 2.3.4 base which we will build an entirely different user experience on top of.
Our ROM does include the T-Mobile Theme Chooser so if you do not like our stock look, you can use ANY T-Mobile theme, 4 bar OR 6 bar. We modified the app for compatibility.
Once our ROM is released and works our kernel devs will be releasing a kernel for the NS4G which will really enable the full potential of the ROM.
Once released, check our ROM out. If you don't like it or miss some of the CM features, by all means please switch back. Just PLEASE don't complain that we are CM or that we are based on CM or we should incorporate this specific CM feature. We have worked really hard getting this ROM up to par for the Evo and will do the same for the Nexus S (when the time comes), but these kind of comments honestly just piss me off.
Look forward to supporting the ROM for Nexus S. Please be patient and let me get it working with my testers before I officially announce it.

Noah my raised hand was a vote for "yea."
And I ask of Devs, please dont turn this into a Nazi forum where threads are gobbled up by florid pissing contests. I saw one of the G Tablets best Devs peace because of that 'ish and its pathetic. More Devs equal more heads.
...and more head is never a bad thing.

What kind of comments piss you off? I think your overreacting TBH. Your rom may not be CM, but it has some of the same features. You say so yourself. If this is the kind of BS you and your "team" are bringing to the NS4G side, Ill pass. This has been a peaceful section so far. The evo section is a bunch of know it all hotheads and I could live without that ****. If someone making an observation about your rom really makes you that mad, maybe you shouldnt be dev'n.

Jesus dude, I was just saying that when people constantly say that we are the same thing as CM, it aggravates me. Don't start jumping down my throat, I'm not starting an argument. noahguz asked me to post in here explaining some differences and I did, that's it. I wasn't calling you out or starting crap over here, I get enough of that on the Evo forums, which is probably why I get annoyed when people say we are the same as CM.

Still waiting

Still waiting on more development for the G2X, flashed the early release of Gingerbread and my facebook syncs don't work and neither did my gps, flashed Cyanogen and still had a few bugs and havent tried Bionix yet cause I don't like the all black theme. So I guess i'm patiently waiting for something to catch my eye.
And you started a thread just to tell us your still waiting? Lol you think anybody cares? There are a bunch of options out there to run most of which are amazing. Spend some time running the different roms and I think you would be pleasantly surprised that they are pretty bug free. It would have been a more rewarding time then making another I want more development thread.

Wow I can't believe you started a thread just to whine. When last time I checked, devs are not your employees or your slaves. If you don't like what's out there, tough, make something yourself.
To me, it seems like the rate of development is great compared to the time the phone has been out.
Really guys, calm down I was just expressing my feeling. You guys didn't have to reply to this either. I have been testing out other roms and these were my thoughts. Skyhigh2004, which rom are you currently running.
I'm running faux's aosp newest release and the ext 4 0.0.7 kernel. Smooth as butter, no lock ups, and everything that I have tried or needed works flawlessly. I have ran all of the roms on xda and I would also recommend bionix. I know you said you didn't like the theme but there is an optional stock Ginger theme in the theme section, its a really smooth rom. Try them out.

Just sit and hold your breath till a perfect rom comes out, seriously man how can you say you are waiting "patiently" when you start a new thread to complain....just run stock froyo! Or make your own rom!!!
G2X
Stock Gingerbread won't sync Facebook. Google did away with it. Only Custom roms will have this functionality.
As far as the theme, CM7 (and other custom roms) usually have built in Themes which you can download from the market and install. Changes the colors of the icons, notification bar, icons, etc.

Hey I flashed faux's aosp also but what do you mean "and the ext 4 0.0.7 kernel" Doesn't flashing it change the kernel?
I meant I flashed the alternate ext4 0.0.7 kernel on top of the rom after it booted up and I waited ten mins. The rom itself as packaged is ext3. There is a seperate thread for faux's extra kernels.

Coming from the Vibrant where we had only 4 major devs (Team Whiskey, EDT, Eugene and Master) I think this phone is doing pretty good!
We already have 4 major devs (Team Whiskey, Team Shockwave, CM7 and Faux123) in one month! And I've seen two others saying they are making roms for it too, just have not release them yet! Forgot their names!!!
I think what we do need is more themes, but that's it!

I haven't caught up on what happened but its not the first thing that makes it seem like they aren't playing nicely.I wonder if it also have to do with both google and facebook possibly becoming competitors in some of the same markets they are trying to expand into. what ever happened to the recently re-rumored facebook phone?

and along the same token, your lack of concern for preserving the awesomeness of the camera is your opinion and, I imagine, not one that is held widely by the MT4GS userbase.
one of the selling points of this phone is the camera... and that goes out the window with the AOSP camera app. before this phone, I wouldn't have cared either, but since it has such a capable setup out of the box for being a point and shoot replacement, it seems like a waste to toss that just to get an AOSP rom.
Before jumping to conclusions about the built in Camera software versus the third party camera apps available on the market, we should test them out first.
I'm absolutely certain that there will be apps out there in the future that will be able to control the entire camera in this phone. The only question is when. That being said I only care in so far as being able to turn the flash on and off. I'm usually taking pictures in default settings though I might turn the flash off.
The Sense 3.0 camera app is the same as the one we have on the MT4GS, and as long as we run a version of Sense 3.0 we shouldn't have any problems. AOSP would be nice, but I'd like to have the nice camera functionality, and honestly I loved Virtuous Fusion ROM running Sense 3.0, I can't imagine how fast it would be on this device!
Yeah, the camera is something that I really want working on a custom rom. coming from the cliq though, everything seems fast stock on this phone.
I can't wait for Cyanogenmod on this phone. It really opened up my 3G slide with all kinds of cool stuff. When 3G slides were bearly getting official 2.2 Froyo from HTC, I had gingerbread for a while. I can imagine this bad boy running 3.1 or even the 4.0 that's supposed to be out soon!
Loved CM on my 3G slide, but I *personally* would not want to part with the functionality of the camera. Now if workarounds are discovered than that is a different story.
This phone is so much better out of the box than the 3G slide was though.

[ROM][09/16/2011]Senseless_v2.1.2 Tweaked, Modded, Debloated, AOSP Pieces, ONLY 180MB
Just because something isn't CM7 doesn't mean it isn't a good ROM. People need to pay respect to those developing ROMs other than CM7 and MIUI as well, if it weren't for them we would still be on the stock rom with S-ON. Give this ROM a shot, I've been running it for a while and it is much better than the shipped rom and has full camera functionality.
The reason we don't have cm7 support is because there is no source code yet. You stuck with sense until then. Complain to HTC not within xda.

Wasn't complaining. Was just asking if any work was done. I found this article through a Google search and then did some forum searching after posting. Sad that the source for the kernel has to be released first. But if that ROM is more AOSP and has full camera functionality, it might be worth rooting my phone over.

Miui or Ginger

I was wondering who was using gingebread or miui
And why
I was on Ginger but I switched to miui
Like the interface better

I love MIUI but with ICS buzz, I'm going with CM7 and a ICS theme.
MIUI got too buggy for me. I haven't tried the new updates in fear I will love it too much.
LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV
CM7, only because MIUI on the G2x isn't exactly the most stable. I was spoiled with the MIUI on the MT4G, thing was a beast and never had any bugs.
The MIUI on the G2x is good for the most part, but gets slow and has bugs here and there that bothers me so I'm happy with CM7.
I use Miui now and it seems pretty stable. I choose miui because it just looks really nice and runs soo smoooth.

Depends on what CM version you use. You also need to properly factory reset your phone, clear caches, etc because CM7 is a different beast entirely. Coming from other roms, especially stock roms such as Weapon, it is especially important to do the proper flashing techniques or you WILL run into problems.
That said, MIUI should be better now. I dropped off months ago when only Whitehawk was developing for it (aka just porting the latest version). Now we actually have devs focusing on MIUI for the G2x and trying to work out the kinks. It should be much better now.
MIUI isn't as compatible as CM7 with apps and such. More apps will not work on MIUI vs Stock or CM7. Most do, but this is something to expect if you run MIUI and your favorite app won't launch.
I had too much fun with MIUI though. Always changing my lockscreen type, always themeing, changing this and that. Gets addicting.
MIUI is different and most people get turned off by the iPhone-like launcher. But throw ADW EX or Go Launcher and you'll love it.

I started with a Cm7 rom and ics theme and then went to miui recently. Theres an ics theme for it too.
Using the galnet ics version that whitehawk ported over. Miui is different and at first I didn't like it, but I spent a day or two with it and I grew to like it. I think I just wanted something different since ics is a ways off.

Miui
I hated Miui when I first installed it, my phone would boot loop after calls that weren't answered, random reboots throughout the day, and it was a major battery hog. That was about 3 months ago.
I have it installed now and I love it. I have no problems at all with it, save about a 1 minute warm up time for an accurate lock on gps. Coupled with Juice defender and Launcher Pro, I get all the battery I need, and an app drawer with mods that rock!
love miui. been using whitehawk builds since he started and have no problems with stability, performance, or compatibility. I prolly wont even flash ics when we finally get it because its so hard to give up the level of customization miui offers.

yup. hope current themes will be compatible or updated quickly.
miui all day with a touch of an ICS theme. The customization of MIUI is just unparalleled at this point. The ONLY bug with the current build of MIUI that urked me was when you connect your phone via usb to a pc it sometimes freezes/randomly reboots. But with wifi explorer this issue is easily bypassed. All in all i still love it

are you saying that will be on the G2X today? just confused, but if so I'm backing my phone up now lol.
Probably means "one day". I know MIUI was already using some of the ICS source files but since they are based off CM7 kernel, one would think CM9 would have to be out first.
EDIT
Looks like pics have surfaced of MIUI running on top of ICS and the source was annouced... I don't think this means it will come out for the G2x today. Supposedly it is based off the CM9 kernel with hardware acceleration enabled.

Which ROM should I use with my TB?

So I've been out of the whole ROM scene for a while now, I have CM7 on my TB still and it sucks pretty hard, and I'm looking to install a new rom. I mostly tether, text, and sometimes talk on the phone. I'm not that big on apps except like sports center, twitter, and facebook...usuallly don't play games. Any suggestions on where to start?
There isn't much to complain about in regards to CM7, as we don't have a whole lot of new development. Slayher's CM7 build is still my favorite T-Bolt rom in terms of speed and stability. I run a 1.6ghz OC and it's pretty snappy. Thundershed is a very popular ROM right now and is based off of the CM7.2 codebase with an ICS theme, so I would certainly check it out if you are looking for something that feels different. You'll probably want to look into various roms on your own as it's honestly opinionated with a few exceptions.
Team Liquid is also working on an ICS rom that has working Phone and SMS, but data isn't working yet(they are coding the RIL from scratch). I would keep my eye on it as the rom will probably become ready for daily use in the near future. As soon as data works, I'll probably switch over from CM7 unless there are other issues that arise with the rom.
I used to suggest to users any rom by ThunderStick, but he was a complete dbag recently on his rom thread when questioned on one of the issues the rom had. I guess because he moved to a nexus he stopped caring about the TB. I would check out the rom list (thunderbolt development forum) and go through each one. BAMF has always been high on peoples list.

Come on, you asked a question that any amount of thought or common sense should have answered for you, thunderstick and others gave you appropriate responses. Back on topic though, skyraider is great. Thundershed, jellyblur, and sfkcm7 are awesome AOSP roms and worth a look too. There's also a bunch of solid desensed roms out there. It's best to flash some roms and get to know your own tastes that way. After all, only you know what your ideal rom is.
*Thunderbolt 4G*
I've been running sfk cm7 for about a week and I love it. Great battery life and slick as hell with tiamats 1.1.5.

All of them.
Signature.
If you're looking for something different, Vicious and SPJester's MIUI rom works very nicely. It's easy to customize using the built in MIUI system. Everything but MMS works I believe, but the way the rom is set up is a bit strange (as there is no app drawer, sort of like IOS). Still, very solid and, having tried pretty much every tbolt rom out there, this is the one I always come back to.
Using JellyBlur v1.3 and having 0 problems so far. Been running it for awhile now without any problems and love it. Thinking about putting it on my husband's Thunderbolt as Skyraider Zues is giving him some problems.
Agreed Jellyblur 1.3 CM7.2 Rocks!

I'm with you, personally Jellyblur 1.3 has been the best running, slickest rom I've used. I've tried Bamf, and quite a few other roms out there. This for me is going to be my daily. I'm hoping we can get ICS (but not counting on it, and the only reason I want it is so the devs can grab the RIL and do something awesome with it).
Rem.
I love ODJDUB HD express. It's fast really nice and I get great battery life.

Been running liquid smooth 3.2 on my thunderbolt. I haven't found anything else that is faster than this rom.

When you get too many suggestions I'm not sure how helpful they are but I emphatically urge Thundershed. In fairness I haven't tried every rom mentioned here but TS simply works.
sfkcm7
I've been using sfkcm7 with imoseyon's kernel and it's been smooth

If you prefer sense, skyraider was awesome, so many customizations.
Liquid ICS Jmod! A few people's efforts got 1x working and ICS feels soooooo good
Jellyblur V1.3-CM7 y SPJester
I recently went through most of the recommended ROMs (after unrooting to get the OTA radio update, doing a clean wipe, then re-rooting) and I have landed on Jellyblur V1.3-CM7 y SPJester which seems to be the slickest and best-running I've seen so far. Battery life is good, audio, SMS/MMS, data, and phone work. It is thankfully De-Sensed and instead uses the Go Launcher.

[Bounty] Absolutely barebones, stock, pure Google ROM needed. No mods...

I'm hunting for a 100% pure Google, stock, barebones ROM for my S3. Not aokp, not aosp with this mod or that mod. Just a stock, pure replica of what is on my Galaxy Nexus. That's it. I can't compile it myself cause I don't have the machines otherwise I would. So, I'll pay someone to take those Nexus factory images and make them/it flashable on my GS3(for lack of better terminology).
That's not going to happen. Aosp is as close as your going to get.

So is this a bounty or you just putting up money for someone to do it for you. You might want to list what you are willing to pay.
Why not just run CM10? Even if someone builds a rom without the mods it will still have the same issues as all the other AOSP roms.
What is the benefit of this ROM?
Tweaks, bells, and whistles is much better.
I just prefer a stock experience. It is THE one thing I miss about the galaxy nexus. I don't know what kind of work, time or effort goes into compiling a rom but I'd pay what the dev assumes is a fair price.

You wont see this build anytime soon unless someone wants to personally make one for you. And honestly using CM10, you can disable all mods yourself with some simple googling or unchecking boxes.......

AOSP is the closest you'll get. out of curiosity, why is this not suitable?

FYI AOSP is what this guy wants........ Cyanogenmod roms are based on AOSP with mods, this guy just doesnt want the mods....
AOSP = Android Open Source Project

Would you be okay with a port of an AOSP ROM that has no mods? I'd like to help you out, but I don't really have the time to compile one from source right now. I can port AOSP pretty quick.

Dude AOSP is a 100% pure Google, stock, barebones ROM.
Sounds like you are one of those Vanilla Android snobs, that doesn't know what Vanilla Android is.
Have you even tried flashing CM10 or AOKP to see if you like them?
Don't know why you are against any Mods but most AOSP based roms allow you to disable mods pretty easily in the settings. If you really want someone to compile a totally "vanilla" rom, you should state how much your are willing to pay.
Otherwise just flash CM10 or AOKP and disable anything you don't like

Yea haha, I dont think the OP realizes that AOSP more or less CM. After all Cm is based on AOSP
AOSP is much more stable and sometimes tends to get better battery life. Sometimes people don't need crazy optimizations and features cluttering the ROM up.

This is true if you have a Nexus phone since AOSP is created to work on the NEXUS reference design.
However, for any other phone unless you have the manufacturers documentation(which Samsung has decided not to provide ), most of the time to get everything to work you have to use a workaround or even port some of the stock UI code to AOSP to get the phone to work.
As you probably already know there still isn't a "Vanilla Android" rom you can flash to the GS3 that has everything working with or without customization. In fact most phones don't have a pure "Vanilla Android" rom that works without any customization.
In terms of speed and stability, I'd argue that CM7.2 was as stable or more stable than most of the skinned manufacturer 2.3 roms. Eventually we'll get there with JellyBean
IMO "Vanilla Android" ignores Android's greatest strength, but if you really want "Vanilla Android" with no additions get a Nexus phone
The OP wants someone to compile AOSP from source for his GS3, he doesn't seem to understand that it would not function on his phone, because AOSP is designed to function on Nexus.

He wont ever have vanilla AOSP, EVER. AOSP needs to be hacked to work...... our phone isn't a google reference device for a reason.
Peter Alfonso Bugless Beast series is the main rom I've seen that was AOSP with a absolutely no mods. I've only seen a few builds not on a nexus though, like the Droid Incredible.

I know that... but you can compile pure aosp using the device and vendor files that your CM10 maintainers have created to compile AOSP which should function the same as it does on a nexus device except for device specific stuff.

I bet if you removed the CM stuff from a CM rom (wallpapers, build.prop, bootani) and modded the settings.apk to not show the cm settings panel the OP couldn't tell the difference.
