I have tried a few rooted roms and each one seems to have some glitch or problem.
are there any 2.3.4 stock roms that arent deox'd or zip aligned? Just a plain rooted stock rom?
I have tried a few already but there is always some quirk.

Hey Folks,
I'm pretty new to this Rooting and Roming of Android devices so please bare with me if this sounds like a stupid question.
Last weekend I roots my nexus s i9023, installed ClockworkMod 3.x and Axura NSE Rom ( Gingerbread 2.3.3 ) with netarchy 1.2.5cfs Kernel. Everything went perfectly but now I'm being badgered by the Auto Update to in OTA update 2.3.4. The Nexus S is on Vodafone NL.
My question being a nooby is can I go ahead and let the OTA update install on reboot ( will it have any effect on my rooted device, recovery image or custom rom? ) ?
If not, how do I get to 2.3.4? Do I wait for Axura 2.3.4 update? Or is there a way to disable Auto Update from bugging me every couple of hours.
Any help would be great,
Neil
I don't think you will have able to update to 2.3.4 its because you flashed clockwork an you have a custom rom. I suggest trying out another rom that has a 2.3.4 Core. Also axura nse is no longer supported by master so you might not see an update on it.

You will lose root and recovery if you install the OTA. Not hard to root again, but just install a custom 2.3.4 rom

Well my inspire came 2.3.3 out the box and seems to run pretty good to me. The radio seems to be a lot better than when i tried a inspire during launch week. What will i really be gaining by flashing a custom rom? Which one will work the best with stock 2.3.3 radio?

The roms will work with all radios, just make sure to note the radio version you have and to have the ril flashed with it on a sense rom. The radio differs by location and not rom.
Like i said its completely stock on the 10.04.03m radio
For me, the one benefit I've noticed is battery life. Running stock gingerbread, I could maybe get 10-11hrs out of a charge. Running AR 6.1.2 with the recommended radio and similar use a (subjective, I know), I'm seeing over 20hrs on a charge.
First of all, I am a iphone convert (this week) and bought an Infuse. love the phone and android. I am a noob and have a noob question:
I would love to upgrade to gingerbread and don't want to root. I believe I can do that with the stock ROMs. My question is a stock ROM such as ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6] 100% stable with everything working?
I use my phone for business so I can't have calls not come thru or other problems on it.
Any insight is appreciated.

I've installed every single stock leak there is (I hate ugly modded roms). KK3 is NOT the way to go. KK4 was just released and currently it's not rooted and runs beautifully. Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, data and phone are all working great. 9 times out of 10 the rooted versions suck anyways because they use a buggy kernal that wasn't meant for it. There's usually some kind of trade off with rooted roms so if you don't care about rooting, grab KK4 and flash with ODIN.

this is exactly the type of info I was looking for! Thanks! Is absolutely everything working on the KK4? all the apps and everything?

I've been playing with it all day and I have yet to find any issues. All apps work, no shutdowns, no lagging, no dropped wifi, no data switching, no bluetooth problems...nothing. Definately one step closer to "official".
the custom kernel is usually packaged so people have cwm and dont get in a panic not being able to flash out of the rom the same way they flashed it. if i knew how to repack the initramfs id give a shot at making a more stock kernel with cwm. but unfortunately like the rom chefs here i dont have that knowledge. you can absolutely have kk4 rooted without a rogers based kernel, it just means flashing twice. maybe ill fill that gap since flashing the stock kernel back to the phone is too much for many people to figure out. the phone retains root if you flash the stock kernel. what is going on is there is a script in the custom kernel that copies the su file and simlinks it while the phone boots in an insecure state. once root is there it stays unless you flash the rom. after the phone is rooted the kernel has zero effect on root privledges.
Last week I got the i727r from my work and was wondering if I have to be careful which roms I use. I am not on the rogers network but have unlocked it and using it with another network currently.
Am I ok installing at&t based roms in this case or do I have to be picky on what I install.
I have previous experience with rooting and installing roms, but seems like there might be some hickups.
Thanks in advance
From what I understand by reading the rogers based roms usually play nice with att but I don't know about the carrier your using.

There are some minor differences make sure the rom says it will work with the rogers version of the phone.
If it's a work supplied phone you most likely should not be flashing roms on it as if you ever need to fall back to odin or if you brick it then that's not cool.
It's not I work phone I just work for a dealer so it's unlocked working with my current provider. I had no problems getting root working and tried a few roms just nothing seems to satisfy my geek yet for the i727.
Seems like most of the roms are debloated versions of the stock rom, but the stock rom works so well I am not unhappy with it.
I do understand the risks of rooting and roming I have been doing it since the HTC G1 (Oldschool android lol) just my first Samsung experience all I can say is WOW!
Thanks for the advice and the answers!
Keep the community rocking
If you flash att roms youll need to change your apn settings. And should flash red sonja rom
Debloated rogers rom is fine for now. I'm running the Go launcher with ICS theme and Roboto font and it is nice. We'll have to wait for new official roms to get some better 3rd party roms and that includes that Red rom.

I found red Sonja pretty Laggy actually
Which ROMs are recommended for a SGHi727r? I have recently acquired the cell (and love it) but the guy in the store says its sooo much more capable when it isn't stock. (with stock settings, the cell would last only half a day... until I got JuiceDefender, now it lasts a full day hehe)
I was wondering which ROMs you more experienced guys would suggest. (and that would be ROMs that do not increment the flash counter of course, still not sure of how this works, however I do know how to verify it) My phone was rooted by using SuperOneClick

Be carefull
just be really careful what roms you are using i almost brick my phone twice using a i727 rom not really compatible with the i727R
so if you are not good with computer and dont know how to restore kernel, original roms and cwm to do hard reset and clean cache (cause sometime the ok button in android 3e recovery is not working at all ) with odin you will be ****ed !
im still looking for a stable version so if anyone have a good one please keep us inform
You will never brick flashing any 727 roms as far as use they should all work with proper setup pay attention to what your doing and bam problem solved

I have tried almost every rom on here, and have only had problems with certain MIUI due to the recovery i use. For Battery i found Alien ICS had the best battery it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608088
If you want to stay on ginger bread then i would recommend TPC found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357506
Now I know your not on rogers but if you need name display and want to use ICS you will have have to use an UCLE2 ROM/Modem. The best way is to read a lot i did and make your own decisions and just remember as long as you can get into Download mode you can use Odin to go back to stock
I have been using the CM9 ROM's since they came out, and they are fast, no buggier than any others, and I can get quite literally 24 hours on a charge with over 2 hours of screen time. Right now I have been on battery for 2.5 hours and I am still at 96%.
I personally don't think you can go wrong with CM9, but that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about those...
I have flashed pretty much every i727 ROM on my i727r and haven't had a problem.

Hey guys.
Just wondering is there a solution for downloading apps which are made for canadian based roms but i am use Sky ICS.
Basically it says that the software is not supported for this device. Is there a way to change the ID in the phone software so Google Play sees the device as a I727R (rogers).
Be nice if rogers would get their act together and release their rom so the community can start creating custom roms with it.
Thanks.

I've upgraded my Rogers Infuse with CM10 Jellybean and have had many issues with it freezing and not letting me answer incoming calls, etc. and camera app jittering while recording video.
I was told that the android 2.3 is the most stable version for this phone. But when I have had issues getting stock ROM for Rogers Infuse. In this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248 the download links direct to lnx.lu and tries to get me to install iLividSetup.exe which is a virus. The links are basically dead.
I've tried installing other roms just to get back to stock with lots of problems but eventually got ZEUS rom installed. They say that its stable but this rom is either very buggy or I didnt install it properly. The built-in apps have are there but their icons have been erased and have been renamed to com.android. and when I try to launch any of them it says that the app is not installed on the phone. Im talking about necessary apps like play store, etc. So I cant use the phone like this.
I need help with getting my Rogers Infuse back to stock or a very stable install. Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this.
I would suggest odin back to stock or heimball one click explained in many threads in the dev section. I use Aeon rom wich works better then stock for me. But i dont think u will find the 2.3.3 rogers rom anywere . Pm me if u do i want it lol . U will have to go with an att 2.3.6 wich will still be considered stock rom and will work on rogers. I was using att rom with Bell canada
