New to Charge coming from Fascinate

I'm coming from the fascinate and will have a charge this Friday and have a few questions. How close is the charge to getting an aosp rom? My favorite rom on the fascinate was MIUI. Which rom would be my best choice on the charge? I like reliability and customization. Please don't flame me if I did something wrong in this post. Thank you for you replies

Welcome to the Charge forum. OMFGB is in the works. MIUI is probably a longshot as the Chinese Devs don't care about LTE as they don't have it yet. LTE will be the issue.
BTW you can't go wrong with GummyCharged.

Welcome, I, myself did the jump last week. Check the thread below.

So far there is no AOSP rom at all. There are some in the works, like OMFGB, but it is no where near complete. But some of the TW roms listed above are very good. I find myself liking TW roms more and more now.

On the fascinate we had a guy named andmer that gave us MIUI and I don't think he was Chinese. I might be wrong though. And I heard about OMFGB coming to the charge but I wasn't sure how far they were with development. If somebody brought MIUI to the charge i could probably donate like $20 - $50 or more depending on how broke i am at the moment

[Q] Is anyone in the loop on new Roms?

Im thinking about trading my Droid incredible 2 for a charge, and i'm only looking in the development threads right now. Are there any new ROMs on the horizon? Or any latest news i can be informed of?

Well gummycharged 2.0 is currently in the works and from the previews we've seen it looks pretty good. I don't know much about the other froyo ROMs and I haven't messed with GB yet. But development is still going strong for the charge.

The developer community for the Charge is likely smaller, so the number of available ROMs is lower compared to the Inc2. However, what is available is pretty good for being all based on the stock software. AOSP based ROMs will come in due time, but again, given the small developer community, it may take some time.

Darkslide charged is suppose to be coming soon! it will be GB.

Appreciate guys. I almost assumed it was a smaller Dev. community but that doesnt make it any less good to everyone, Everyone on the DINC2 forums were great, and im hoping to join this. Im no Dev, but i still would like to give something back to help anyone out there as best as i can

OMFGB/OMGB & CM7 are coming to the Charge but it's rumored to be a long ways away. Gummycharged 2.0 is looking great and Team Gummycharged keeps growing. As of now the best ROMs out are Gummy/Humble/Eclipse, my personal favorite being Eclipse.

If u have lte its probably worth the trade...otherwise.

Yeah, 4G Area over here

Once you go 4g you don't go back.

I thought that was black...
anyways
Yeah the gummycharged roms are very solid. 2.0 will be amazing. 1.9rc2.3 is a gingy build and is already rock solid.
AOSP will be great once we get it. I heard it is partially samsung's fault for making their phones so hard to port from one to another or we would have had it a long time ago with the dev community on the fascinate.
As long as kejar doesn't go anywhere, we will be good lol. He is a mastermind.

[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 built Black Lightning off Gingerbread (and PunkROM!) as a base, and integrated the safest and most stable-looking mods. So it's minimal, but theoretically powerful too if it needs to be.

I just installed CM7 and its amazing, I cant believe how functional it is already. Pretty much everything works.

MIUI is the best
Sent from a amazing Ipad 2

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!

Custom ROM - better than Infused v2.2.3

Infused v2.2.3 last update is 09/23.
Any kind soul would like to share with me which other ROM now is fast & stable than Infused v2.2.3.

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

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.

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.

[Q] What's the general consensus on the official version of GB?

Hi All,
I'm currently on Humble 5.0 RC2, and find it fairly stable, though my battery life is no where near as good as it was under Humble 4.0.
I'm curious as to the feelings of those who have switched to the Official GB release.
Were you on a custom ROM before? If so which one?
Do you think it is worth the hassle of changing to the new ROM?
I'm in a strong 4G area so I rarely have issues with switching between 3g/4g.
How is the GPS on the new release? The one I've got in Humble 5 sucks. H 4.o's was okay, but nothing I do seems to give me a quick, accurate lock in GPS.
I noticed Infinity released a ROM based on the EP4D, How does that compare to Humble?
Should I wait for Danalo to release a EP4D version of Humble or switch now?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I can recommend the 1204 release of Infinity. It's a pretty sweet looking and very quick rom. It doesn't have TSM parts in it yet, so if you're like me and like Infinity but not TSM, this is the perfect time to grab it.

When you say "waiting out the "Push"", what are you referring to? Kernel source? Thanks

Hello.. No.. I was told when I called Verizon to see if they could stop the push to my phone that Samsung is the one pushing the update out.. and they are going to push it for another 10 days or so.. I am Hitting "Update Later" until the push is over on my phone because the GummyCharged Froyo 2.0 Rom Runs 100% Stable & Smooth for me along with Go Launcher Ex.. I have no desire to mess things up with the Gingerbread Update when I would get zero benifits out of it..
