Hi all !
Browsing the Android Development forum I could find those roms :
MoDaCo Custom ROM, Bionix NS and GingerS SMALL
As I understand, all three :
- are based on GRH78
- have su / root
- have an unsecure bootloader to enable adb remount
- have the new market
- have busybox
- have various kernel and system optimisations
So, I would like to know :
* What are the diference between them ? (not which one is the best, which is a very different and troll-making question).
* What are the advantages of each of them ?
* Why are they better than the OTA rom (considering that su / root and the new market are installed) ?
Thank you very much !
I know this isnt going to answer your question, but it really is all preference
modaco ROMs are all about being very close to stock ROMs, but with some nice refinements and extras that you need like super user etc.
i dont know those other 3 unfortunately...
MoDaCo is all about maintaining a stock look and feel with just some of his own "optimization scripts" ran on the system. I believe he also deodexes so you can apply themes. He's big on stability as well.
I've only used Bionix on my friend's T-Mo Vibrant, so not sure about on the NS, but it seems more geared towards tweaking out every last bit of performance, and changes the look and feel. It's been a great ROM on my friend's Vibrant.
I've never heard of the third one you linked until you linked it.
I've not yet felt the need to move from stock on my NS. There's a few tweaks I'd like to see (like battery percentage in the status bar), but unlike previous phones, this one just feels great right out of the box.
I'll probably go for Cyanogen v7 once it's stable. Best of the Best on most devices.
But like slowz3r says, it's really just preference. Try them all if you really feel compelled and see which fits your tastes the best.

Also being NAND memory, and without TRIM support on Android, you're theoretically hurting that partition's read/write performance each time you flash a ROM. That said, I've flashed the living daylights out of my Nexus One, and it never felt any slower. From what I've read about SSDs on standard PCs, it isn't too horrible.

I had a HTC Hero before my NS, I'm already a flasher addict. It's too late for me
To summerize and help me choose, I did this chart. It is probably incomplete and relies only on the rom description by their author. If they have a feature and did not mention it, it will be absent on this chart. Sorry folks, if you don't advertise it, we can't know it's here...
As soon as Cyanogen Mod 7 is stable, I'll go on it (CM is such an amazing work). Meanwhile, I think MoDaCo will be fine for me.

He made it.
You should consider CM7 Alpha3 as well. Its very stable and comes with a few extra goodies that the other ROMs don't have.
For example, the notification bar widgets, various tweaks in CM settings, rendering effect etc.

may i suggest you keep updating that chart, im sure people will find it useful
A lot of people are awaiting CM7 Stable.. but honestly, the nightlies are stable and I haven't experienced any problems with them. Torch isn't working, but there are alternatives on the market.
Try it out, just perform a nandroid backup before flashing.. don't like it? Nandroid restore and you're back to where you were before you flashed.

I'll try a preview or rc version, maybe even beta, but I'm just not interested in anything that's still labeled alpha, personally, though not arguing that it's not stable.

Well I have trouble understanding it's completely stable with the "alpha" postfix. Some hardware, some features, I don't know, something must be unstable for it to be marked alpha...

Its labeled alpha because some of the CM specific goodies are not yet included (battery %, UI customizaion, phone/mms lockscreen sliders and other tweaks etc).
But otherwise its stable and everything pertaining to stock GB works fine.
CM7 RC1 cannot be << CM6.1.1 Stable .
I was just looking at the latest MoDaCo r6 and it actually looks interesting to me now. Maybe the flash-a-holic in me is resurfacing. LOL.
Hello,
I bought my nexus s today, and i noticed that Facebook wouldn't sync to my phone! it starts by not asking whether or not to sync contacts when i install the Facebook app and continues by not responding to 'ass account' in 'accounts & syncs' in settings.
I really like the option that i can see my fav's pictures.
can i solve this? any suggestions?
but all and all amazing phone, specially after coming from here, after two years
Google removed this option on Nexus S...
thanks, i guess it's like Google want that i will root this phone..
Please don't cross post in multiple forums.
If you just want contact pics, try "syncmypix"

or use CM7.. unsure why people wouldn't want to use it. CM7 enables Facebook syncing again.
Don't even say you don't want to use it because its "unstable" its stable if you know how to properly set it up.

blasphemy much? especially when its a "Developer Phone" and its pretty much encouraging you to hack it. but everybody has their taste
and no. i dont believe anybody wants to run their phone stock/unrooted.. especially when we're on XDA, this forum is primarily here to hack your phone and to maximize the most out of your ~$530-$580 purchase ($199 with contract). If people wanted to leave it the way it is, they would be on other forums but they found XDA, with the majority of the users here are here to mod their phones. I would find it reasonable that they have a interest in doing this.
People primarily leave their phone stock on the forum because they're afraid that they're going to void the warranty / whatever. I'm just pointing out that it is a very hard phone to brick and they should use custom ROMs because they really do improve the Android experience.

I just really find it funny when people's answers is always "root it", "use cm7", "adb this", etc..etc.. (Personally I do run CM7 Nightlies, but get tired of these 'replies'). Not everyone wants to root their phone, not everyone wants to run a custom ROM. Some people just want to run their phones stock, even if it is a "developer phone" (which is an argument in itself). It's as bad as people saying "you have a 'developer phone'" course their's always bugs in it when someone points out a simple bug.

Just like what I editted my post previously in regards about XDA & users. XDA is primarily a forum for getting the most of your phone. So yeah, I will continue assuming that they want to get the most out of their phone. This forum isn't for unrooted/unmodded areas. Thats what Android Central is for (no disrespect to Android Central, I think its a great website but they are more friendly towards stock roms).
And no it has nothing to do with "developer phone," anything that Google makes is considered a beta. Especially when you get a product from them in its early stages. Early adopters encounters bugs, its apart of Google.
We all pay a price for being early adopters, it could be a success or fail. No one knows.
Android isn't iOS where everybody will run on Stock. Android is a versatile mobile OS, we have many options. If we don't like something that Google or a manufacturer did.. we're able to change it. So if we dont like Google's decision on Facebook Sync we can take it into our own hands. The OP wanted sync with FaceBook, I simply gave him a solution to fix it by flashing a custom ROM such as CM7. Am I coercing him to root / flash? No. the decision is up to him. But if he did try it out, I'm certain that he will enjoy it.
Edit: After reading this thread once again:
The OP said:

So your reference about him not rooting is false. Rooting is a gateway towards flashing custom ROMs. And stop trying to be a moderator by telling him to stop posting in multiple forums.
cool so some can sync with som roms and som not an stock roms cant sysnc too
but the real interessting thing is:
how to get any rom to sync with facebook????
some roms have "fixed" that so ho to get this "fix"???

if the ROMs are based off CM7 then it can sync. Unsure if Master changed it for Axura or not. But I believe at this point, it'd be CM7 and MIUI with FB Sync (uncertain about MIUI but it is based off CM7)
Edit: GBCollab is Cm7 too
hmm ... but interessting thing is:
why is it working with CM7? what did they make that it is working?
i think they didnt call the big abracadabra and then it was working ...
so why is it working in CM7 and is it possible to get this "what ever it is" in to a other rom??

Because Android is AOSP? And CM7 is compiled from AOSP with tweaks and additions. All they have to do is find the line that disables the sync and remove it or modify it.
I could imagine that if u use GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk or GooglePartnerSetup.apk from stock 2.3.2 Rom it may work again, since 2.3.3 is the first rom that has fb sync disabled. But i didnt try it out and im on cm7 anyhow, i just think it may be worth a try.

it works in cyanogen because he turned it back on. it is open source software, so you can do whatever you want to it. google removed this feature, but cyanogen added it back. pretty simple, and that is why it is always worth using a custom ROM over stock ROM. no reason to never root.
good thing .. finaly i try to get somthing more ...
is there anyone who can tell us what we have to change that we all can turn it on again?
or with other words ... is there a tool to turn it back on?

no. just flash CM7. if you want it THAT badly, go get the source of CM7 and go look at it.. and compile your own AOSP with that line of code to re-enable but its way too much work. just flash CM7
I though fb sync still worked on CM7 as he uses the android open source version of 2.3 and allot of the other roms out there use the nexus s release of 2.3 as their base?
Facebook sync wasn't disabled on the N1 just the NS
I am new to the forums and have been reading a lot. So much so that things are becoming blurry! There is a lot of talent here and I appreciate the guidance.
I'm looking for the Crysis Battery Percentage for Samsung Galaxy SII LTE (Rogers Skyrocket SGH-I727R). I have a stock rom with dagkernel 0.43pre2. I'm trying to stay as close to stock as possible as I use my phone for work and need my phone, email, sms etc. But I really don't want the bloatware associated with Rogers. Anyway, all the help is greatly appreciated and thanks once again ahead of time!
Brett K
UOT kitchen for the battery percentage, and if you want stock without bloatware, and are already using dag's kernel, flash tpc v3 by twopumpchump, problems solved.
Thanks so much! I hate to ask, but could you point me to the links?
You can find a link to the cry sis battery with percent in the SkyICS multiple flavors thread in the skyrocket dev forums. I'm running it on my phone. Also has cry sis signal bars there too!!!!

hit that thanks button, I'll be ur first . As for cooking, easiest way is to use Astro or another file manager and copy framework-res.apk file located under /system/app to sdcard and connect phone to computer and copy it over
Not sure where the "thanks" button is but when I find it, I will hit it for you!
Question:
Would I have a problem going with RC7 and the RC7.4 update? Since there is much experience here I appreciate the advice.
Again, I need WiFi, GPS, phone, mms, sms, and of course email.
Sorry for all the questions, but just need a stable platform without the carrier garbage. I have "Frozen" the apps using Titanium Pro that I know I don't need, but I'm sure that that doesn't speed things up much if at all. Plus the stock launcher sucks as you cannot change the dock apps so I've gone with go launcher ex, but I'm sure although awesome, it bogs everything down.
Thanks again!
wait. U wanted near stock and sta

LOL yeah! I sat there the other day looking at my phone and wondering if I should apply the new roms and after some thought decided to go for it. Then, my phone froze up and then it looped after applying roms, kernels etc. and finally, I figured out how to put it into download mode and put it back to stock.
I'm really wanting ICS in the stock version for my phone with an overclock kernel and of course all the mms, sms, email apns etc. and a crysis type of battery icon. Perhaps that's why it seems that this RC6 or RC7 is intriguing to me.
I'll give that RC6 a try.
If you think that the TPC V3 is the best way to go for now, please let me know.
honestly skyics is very stable, ALOT of forum users use it. I however stick to tpc, as it a) is the only rom with a rogers framework specific build, and b) never experienced SOD's with earlier kernels = super stable. That being said, we didn't have mhx or silver deving at the time, and I've heard there roms are good too.
I am helping a close friend out with their new HTC One S. They really like the stock TMobile US Rom but complain about battery, and performance. I would like to know if there is a customized rom that is close to the TMo stock rom. Optimizations for performance, stability, and battery are all that is really wanted. Sense, with stock TMo bloat is just fine, and no theming.
Noble Series ROM seems to be the closest to my request, but it's a discontinued project with no download links.
Next closest appears to be TrickDroid, but the customizations removed some stock apps and changed some features that are missed.
I tried searching for roms to find one, but the descriptions are severly lacking. If it were my phone, I would just load new ROMs till I found one I liked, but it's for a friend and I can't get a hold of their phone long enough to do all that.
thanks guys!

Before this post get move to Q&A..
I'm running TrickDroid v3.0, which is stock rom. You can flash tweaks afterward if you like.
What are the features your friend looking for?
Another rom you can look into is Zydroid 2.0 similar to TrickDroid, but a little different in my opinion.
Battery is great on both..
Wrong section bud, try general or Q&A. My choice goes with TrickDroid, best for performance and battery and has TMOBUS version. You can use LeeDroid (I prefer much more) as it works extremely well on my TMOBUS device.
I remember back in the old days on my old device, people who posted in the wrong section got banned! This guy gets off easy
i apologize for posing to the wrong forum. I assumed as I was asking about a custom rom, that it was for dev area.
Mod's feel free to move this to Q/A.
Zydroid clearly states that it removed the bloatware.
TrickDroid does not state this, but it is removed.
We'd like to keep the stock apps if possible.
With TrickDroid, I know you get all regular apps EXCEPT the bloat **** T-Mobile puts on the device (why would anyone want this worthless crap anyways?). You still get all HTC Sense stuff and common Android apps (Play, music, Beats, browser, blah blah blah...). Same goes for LeeDroid.
anyone know what the diffs are between zydroid and trickdroid? ...... leedroid appears heavily themed. I dont care for or want theme changes.
both are based on stock w/sense. the appear competitive on tweaks. both have the stock TMO apps removed.
I'm about to release one as I've just got a One S in my hands It'll be good...
I've tried both trickdroid and zydroid, but not yet touched leedroid as it seems more of a international version. also now that you mention about the extra theme that kinda seems like a turn off to me.
So far although both are great roms I personally prefer zydroid's version, seems smooth, to the point and intended more for tmo user as it was created by a tmo user (granted trickdroid does have a tmo version, it was created by someone who is not using tmo). as far as the extra apps u get from tmo well... yes they both take them off but if there is any that you did want you can go back to the playstore and download them again for free
Hope that helps

(For instance, I'm listening to music plugged in AUX to my car and then if it switches to Voxer or Phone, its super low(even at full vol), then it goes back to full volume with music) Very annoying.)
I'd definitely give zydroid ago, Zylith is a great guy and has some excellent responses with his ROM

Glad I can help, I'm still somewhat new to the android world trying to learn, Getting there tho!!
I maybe mistaken but from what I have read, the guys from trickdroid and zydroid are chatting on helping each other out for their next project. Can't wait to see how that turns out!
all great posts. you guys are great!
I have a Galaxy s blaze and i rooted it to get rid of the bloatware. I did not install CWM. Still on stock rom adn everything. I heard about "bln" and that it requires kernels that support it.
However it seems that only CM roms support this. I am satisfied with gingerbread so i will not flash any roms.
Is there not a kernel for gingerbread that i can flash?
-Thanks in advance
It's great that you recognize you are satisfied with GB, but I was also recently jealous of button light notifications so I looked a little into it, with getting them in ICS somehow. I was on stock rooted ICS for a time, found it fine, but it really seems that as time passed, advancements with features was always geared with whatever was the most recent.
Having BLN, from what I read anyways, requires both kernel support, as well as framework stuff that is usually just included with the rom. It seems the kernel stuff was on the easier side to do...
Assuming that is correct, if there's a kernel that supports BLN for it, you're going to need it in the rom anyway, and the stock rom doesn't do it. Which means you're going to be flashing anyway.
Having said all that, jellybean has some nice additions that certainly made it worthwhile for me to switch. I've been real happy with CM10, and wouldn't go back. But if I wanted to, it would literally only take a few minutes to switch back to ICS.
What I'm trying to say is...give an updated rom a try. I have a suspicion you'll not want to go back.
I get what you're saying. However for me its a more been there done that. I owned a Wildfire S and tried a lot of their roms and stuff but overall for me when it comes to phones i really like it normal. I hate now they includes their boot animations and extra backgrounds and all these extra options. I know they took their time to make it but i like the t-mobile feel of this branded t-mobile phone.
Anyway so you're saying i will have to flash roms if i want backlight features. However no GB roms support?
As I mentioned in the first reply, seemed that way to me when I was first looking for something with BLN.
As for the "boot animations and extra backgrounds and all these extra options." opinion, I'm not sure if this really makes sense to me.
Cyanogen for example, actually has a less obtrusive boot animation. I mean, it flashes Samsung briefly, than the circle shape cyanogen thing spins around for a bit, and then you can unlock your phone. I have not timed it, but I think it's even a faster boot time, this is good, right? I think most would agree the boot animation doesn't even matter, but let's be realistic, it's not like the stock boot animation on this phone is something that someone would say is cool, or anything. It just is.
As for the background situation... uh that doesn't make any sense either. As I'm sure you're aware you can use whatever background you want. Personally I have almost always used the "no wallpaper selection" because I like the plain black background. Icons and what not, are pretty much the same. Any of the "over stylized" stuff are just themes, something that's not even included with CM10 by default. If basic and not stylized is what you want, CM10 is EXACTLY that.
Heck, I'd go so far as to say that a large portion of the people who use CM10 like it for that very reason, because touchwiz is in fact the over modified monstrosity they are trying to get rid of.
As for the extra options...They are options, you don't have to use them. You don't even have to use BLN, but in your case I know you want to.
You can also very easily set it up to only have BLN active when you want it to, even on a scheduled basis, thanks to the alarm clock being able to change your profile, if you wish.
I've not used it so it's not a personal recommendation, but it sounds like AOKP might be something worth checking into for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989825
If the icon placement and arrangement looks foreign to you, it's just a launcher. You don't even have to use it. Just saying.
In the end, customization is what makes Android great. If you want simple and straight forward, with additional features, loading a non-stock rom is by far the best way to get it!
Again I get what you mean but I've used cm on my wildfire and I didn't like it. Yeah it's a different phone but the basic rom itself is universal if I'm not mistaken just every phone have their different features. I like touchwiz and I love how fast and responsive my phone is now. I COULD get better performance from any other mod but I'm not willing to try that. My phone and my laptop don't really come across each other a lot and I like that. I don't wanna install cmw and do all this other stuff. For instance, with my wildfire I rooted and the only reason I did a custom rom was because I messed up the stock one without doing a backup. Everything worked fine for a few months then if I tried restart the phone it would boot loop. 10 minutes later after I had to re flash it and use titanium I had the phone back but it was a hassle. Maybe bad rom maybe my fault but that's the point I'm trying to say I don't want that stress. I even got tricked into updating the wildfire which turned out to slow it down even though most people said they got better performance.
Also I mean I bought a t mobile phone from Samsung and I like the professional boot animation representing that. I actually like watching the loading bar. It boots way faster than my wildfire and I only restart it when I'm in my room anyway so speed really isn't a priority for me in this department.
I just thought bln was a cool simple idea that maybe someone would have made compatible one gb and maybe I missed it when searching. But I guess not :/

It wasn't simple. Still isn't. as BLN is still buggy for us.
Thanks I guess? I'll just check In a couple months and see if they make one for gb through Odin or something. :silly:
That's not gonna happen gingerbread is a wrap. Soon ICS will be too. Open the jelly bean jar or forget about bln. I use it and love it no kinks. Plus its a lifesaver when you didn't hear a text or noti .
I've not used it so it's not a personal recommendation, but it sounds like AOKP might be something worth checking into for you.

If the icon placement and arrangement looks foreign to you, it's just a launcher. You don't even have to use it. Just saying.
In the end, customization is what makes Android great. If you want simple and straight forward, with additional features, loading a non-stock rom is by far the best way to get it![/QUOTE]
I don't follow what you're saying. Couldn't find any support on bln and why that rom even exist?

Aaaaaand I'm done.
So if you don't like a custom boot/shutdown animation what's stopping you from replacing it with the stock ones? That seems like a silly reason to avoid a rom
As others have stated, development for GB is over and done. If there's something you want that's missing in GB you need to change versions to get it. This rule applies to all OS's i.e. wanting trim in windows xp.
