Still on the fence.... yet another root question

I know that my question has been answered in countless threads.... but what I'm hoping to do is get this information compiled into one thread (and if it exists already, please point me there).
What I'm wondering is who's stock, who's rooted, what ROM you're running and if you had any issues.
I'm really not looking for any fixes to problems in this thread, just a simple compilation to get percentages, because I like to play the numbers.
I'll even start:
Stock Inspire with official sideloading and custom APN for hotspot
Only a random occurance where screen rotation stops
Owned since April 22

I've run LeeDroid and Android Revolution so far. With both ROM's I've noticed nice improvements in overall responsiveness of the phone. However, both suffer slight lag from the application Slacker Radio (just in case you enjoy streaming music ) that builds up over time to the point where I have to reset my phone just to continue to use it.
With LeeDroid, I've noticed that my Pandora app doesn't give it lag, or such a small amount that I don't really notice/care about it.
I've run a lot of Radio's (With their RIL) so I won't go into that, but the only Kernel I've ever played with was the oen for LeeDroid. Dunno if it actually did anything.
LeeDroid also, of the two (three if you count stock) ROM's I've run has the best battery life by far. Can't really go into official numbers since I've been tweaking my phone non-stop for a week now working out a few signal/speed bugs, however I've noticed that I don't have to plug it into my external battery except once a day, even after tweaking and adjusting non-stop for 4-6 hours.
So yeah, that's my take on it. If you're willing to sit down and play with things to get it to work, I'd say go for it. If you want something quick and easy, then I'd suggest maybe holding off a bit and enjoying stock.

Well, I ran my phone bone stock for the first 3 weeks of owning it, then rooted without any issue using bubby's simple root method.
Waited another ~1.5 months before flashing the rom I'm using now, Inspired Ace.
The rom has been a flawless, near stock (sense) gingerbread experience. I often forget I even flashed anything, except for the little gingerbread differences, of course.
Seriously, my guess is that an offical gb release from HTC for this phone would look nearly identical to this rom.
Haven't done anything radio-wise aside from flashing the matching ril for the stock radio. I haven't even updated to the new OTA radio yet.

Nah. I've actually been getting the "itch."
There's so many roms to check out, and I'm running out of excuses not to try some.
I'm just still a little hazy on some of the pre-flashing procedures, mainly cwr related. Like differences between "wiping" and format /system, /data, etc.
I'm finding that trying too hard to avoid misery before it happens results in perpetual inaction, though.

I just got the Inspire last week (my first Android phone), and I can't help but tinker, so I've rooted and put a custom ROM on already. (LeeDroid and now CyanogenMod 7) I found these two video guides to be very helpful, as I wasn't familiar with a lot of the terminology people throw around.
Rooting:

Custom ROM:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUUo9EMlT5Y
Be warned, this took me a lot longer than I anticipated (a couple of hours total, but I was multi tasking. [multi tasking = watching Game of Thrones]).
I really like CM7, it feels faster than stock and my battery life seems better as well.
Good luck!

I ran Stock for about 2 days. No known Issues.
I then Rooted and Ran Bubby's one click and ran the rooted stock RUU for about 3 days. No Known issues.
I then flashed Ace Inspired. It was fantastic. I ran it for about 2 days. Only issue I had was screen would stick in rotation. It just wouldn't move. A Reboot fixed it. I made a back so I could easily return to it. I haven't.
I then flashed Leedriod. I have been running this rom since. Its amazing. I have seen no issues. I Also made a Backup of this rom so I could easily return to it. I have.
I then flashed Gingerbeast yesterday. Its fast and clean. But...Sirius Radio would randomly disconnect. Wireless would random disconnect. Bluetooth stuttered.
I returned to Leedriod this morning. Again, no issues.

When my inspire was stock everything seemed to work like it should. Except I had one huge problem, and its a problem that I have had with any phone from at&t, I had absolutely zero service here in southwest Wisconsin where I'm going to school.
I then decided to root in hopes that with a new radio I could get signal. I went with Leedroids Rom and kernel and couldn't be happier. Now I get full service edge! I didn't even have to mess with the radio.
I still can't believe that with those two changes I get great service. I'm comparing to 3 phones all on the same network, razr, blackjack 2, and Samsung flight 2. The inspire was the second to worst service here, now blows all of the other phones out of the water.
Thanks Leedroid!!

I keep seeing people getting ripped for rooting business phones. I'm a self employed IT tech, and I use my phone for everything from remote access (RDP& TeamViewer) to mobile doc (Docs2Go) to social networking to business calls to gaming to kill time.
Would I be stupid to root this phone?

Thanks Tx, I appreciate that. I have yet to flash a rom the "regular" way, that is, other than rom manager, with the exception of rooting, but that was rather automated, so having these step-by-steps is extremely helpful.

Not necessarily. There was a recent thread where someone was having problems with sound quality on his phone, which he depended on heavily for work, but i suspected other factors involved with that.
I'll tell you right now, this here phone in my hands is work-ready. Rooted and flashed a stable non-stock rom.
If anything, maybe if you had a backup phone just as a CYA type of thing for the process and a "burn-in" period, in case you run into some speedbumps along the way.
I mean, if you plan on going off hard on the flashing thing, then just due to the shear number of rom changes, something is bound to get a little goofy on the software end, but not anything that isn't fixable, for the most part.
When you start getting careless with things like partitioning or radio flashing, then you could run into some serious problems.

A few points:
-it's very, very hard to brick your phone by rooting and flashing roms, so if you're stressing about that at all, don't. It only gets dicey is you are flashing radios via fastboot or messing with ENG-OFF. You don't need to do either of those things, and you won’t either accidentally.
-tinkering and trying many roms is very easy. If you do a nandroid backup (aka a backup with Clockworkmod recovery), you’re golden. It takes about 5 minutes to do a backup. If you want to come back to the previous rom, simply restore in Clockworkmod recovery. EVERYTHING will restore as it was before. After you do a backup, boot up and rename the backup file to something meaningful, like “Dilligaf5-20110534”. Make sure there are no spaces in the name, or Clockworkmod recovery will upchuck. The backup files are on your SD card in the \clockworkmod\backup directory. I have a collection of 10 backup roms. I can restore any one of them in 5 minutes with all my settings intact.
-if you are going from froyo to froyo or gb to gb, you can used Titanium backup to backup and restore sms/mms. Just backup “dialer storage”. When you get your new rom up, restore dialer storage. You will have to reboot after you restore in order to see your sms/mms messages.
-buy Setcpu and root explorer.
-checkout the rom kitchen. You can do lots of neat stuff like changing the battery meter, status bar, icons, fonts, animation, and boot animation. http://uot.dakra.lt/
-AOSP roms like CM7 and others are very fast and have good battery life, but some the apps are not as feature-rich. For example e-mail is missing a lot of options.
-GB roms (like LeeDroid and AR) are nice, but to me, GB doesn’t really have that much to offer over Froyo. LeeDroid has a great kernel and battery life. It also has a really nice call recorder. From a UI perspective
-My favorite rom is Dilligaf 2.0. You should give it a try.

Since I can't delete, just ignore this post. Lol

I knew it was really a matter of "when" not "if" (My iPhone was JB when I bought it.... A guy wanted it unlocked, so I JB it for him and then saw that it was 3.1.3 before they had released the exploit for that baseband, so I bought it _CHEAP_)
Anyway, Looks like I have a project for this weekend
Since this is my thread, I'll feel free to derail it a bit.....
Any reviewsa on MIUI? I like Sense, but mostly just b/c I think that HTC's clock widget is >*, and I see that MIUI's widget is very similar.

You could just buy beautiful widgets and use it on whatever rom you prefer.

I rooted and tried several ROMs. RCMixHD and TB Fusion were both nice, but the keyboard seemed to lag and freexe a good bit on those. Inspired Ace is the ROM I am currently on. I used the battery calibration technique used here to maximize my battery usage. For the battery history section of that thread be sure to grab this app, as the method listed there is not coded into GB ROMs. I have flashed ROMs once or twice and they have not booted, but a simple battery pull and boot to clockworkmod recovery (turn on with power and volume down buttons pressed at the same time then scroll to recovery) to wipe and reflash worked fine.

Well, I now officially have no warranty
Waiting for my SD contents to copy back over, and I think I'll start with Inspired Ace.
I welcome recommendations, but for now I think I'll stick with Sense ROMs.

WIFI Calling routing to speaker

This issue, that while using WIFI calling my audio during calls is routed to the external speaker, rather than the earpiece, has plagued my phone for weeks.
It seems to have started on the first BALI kernel, though as per Honk, it shouldn't be his kernel causing the issue. Though some are not reliant on WIFI calling as I am, I know there are others plagued with this issue..
That being said I started this thread to see if we can figure out what the issue is and not clog up the Bali thread
here's some info I found on a CM7 forum albeit for a different device, ZTE Blade, though with a very similar issue with all VoIP calling being routed to speaker.
It seems they were having alot of trouble figuring it out as well, and i'm not sure I understand some of the fixes they were trying to implement. maybe it can help though..

I guess I'm the only one w the issue.. back to the Bali thread lol
sent from my real Gs move in silence like lasagna

You're not the only one with the issue...just the only one that it's really bothering. I don't use wifi calling being in NYC so the coverage is fine.
But I described that issue in the bali thread along with others, and also noted some issues possibly related to it.... voice dialing doesn't work, bluetooth voice commands don't work.
I'm using a stock deodexed Whitehawk KD1. The ONLY thing I flashed was Bali, and the issue has ALWAYS existed in each of the Bali kernels. It HAS to be Bali.

Yeah it is definitely the bali kernel it wasnt there before i flashed thus kernel i usw it sometime but it really not that important always 4g whereever i am going in my city
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

I wouldnt blame the kernel, still running stock and have the same issue. I think it's the free wifi apk. I never experienced it before I called t mob and asked for the "upgrade". now on incoming calls I get speaker connection and on out going calls the recieving end always complains about echo.
On the moon our weekend are so advanced they encompass the entire week

I've been having the same problem for the past few weeks. For me, it started when I switched from the stock rom to teamwhiskey's rom. Its very annoying.

Yeah the echo is a problem too but I attributed it to Bali as well.. when the phone was stock there was always a low volume issue.. maybe tmobile will upgrade the app

I can confirm this as well... routing to speaker on occasion and echoing
I live quite a ways out of town and so wifi calling is the only option for me. My service out here without wifi is absolute ****. Given that I work from home and I'm always on conference calls, this is a real problem. I flashed the 3.3 Bali today and can confirm that it's still happening. Are there any updates to this at all?

I think were SOL at this point.. hopefully when GB comes out with a new custom kernel it'll work properly

Stock ROM, stock kernel does *not* do the same thing. I've flashed stock to bali to stock to bali to stock again, and *EVERY* time I flash Bali, the problem starts. EVERY time I replace bali with the stock kernel, the problem goes away. I get nearly no signal in my room, and I rely heavily on wifi calling. Without a fix for this problem, the bali kernel is basically useless to me. Whenever I turn on wifi, all my calls route through the speaker and the other end complains about a terrible echo.
This is clearly an issue between the kernel and the wifi calling app, and since the stock kernel works fine whereas the bali kernel doesn't, my thinking is someone should setup some kind of data gathering layer BETWEEN the kernel and the wifi calling app to figure out how/why the two kernels are handling the wifi calling app differently.
Either way, this is not happening on the stock-from-t-mobile rom+kernel.

If you are not getting a signal from your room, try switching modems.I never got signal in my apartment and I flashed to kf1 and I started getting full bars and 4g. The stock wifi app seems to be giving a lot of users problems. I'll look into an alternative app

Quetion about switching from a Virant 3g to 4g

So I just got me a Samsung 4g (I know, I know, what took me so long) well anyways I had a Vibrant 3g since day one and I love it. Now my brother gave me his 4g and I am wondering do I really want it. (besides having ffc, 4g and other stock specs) I hesitate because I have rooted and flashed so many roms finding what is best for me and now I have to start all over. So I have some questions for all you 4g owners. I love tethering so does the Vibrant 4g force me to activate through Tmobile or does a custom rom already have it avoiding tmobile to activate it. That leads to my next questions, what in your opinion do you think is the best rom (looks doesnt really matter I prefer launcer pro anyways) I was running Masters rom, Axura and though that was great for the 3g.

first off, let me say that the two phones are VERY different. dont come into this forum thinking they are the same. i am telling you this now because if i read a post saying "i used rom manager" or "i flashed a vibrant rom" "...and now I am bricked...you HAVE to help ME"...then i will ignore it.
other than that...Welcome!!! had to get the above out of the way. anyway. you should be able to create a hotspot for free. i dont really tether, so idk.
as for the roms, check out the Bible thread (search:"Bible") and it will list everything. you will probably want to go to Gingerbread, so check out the ICBINB GB roms because they have every SGS4G tweak in them.
if you want froyo, icbinb froyo with the sweet acid theme is really nice. i am currently on bionix frost and i love it completely. i can walk you through flashing any froyo rom out there. for gb, a ton of people have made detailed walkthroughs and phreshjoker is recording videos.
let me know what you decide to do after you read and i will gladly help in any way.

Thanks for your imput and the heads up, I though flashing was going to be exactly the same to be honest I will definatly go over the flashing threads and the bible of course. I will try bionix frost, but I like to have the most up to date rom so I have a feeling I will end up sticking to gingerbread ICBINB GB roms
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Welcome to the dark side!!! We have cookies!
While it's definitely tempting to jump right into ICBINB GB ROMs, I would suggest to wait. Since the flashing process is different compared to the Vibrant, you should get comfortable with using the SGS4G CWM first. That would mean going for the Froyo ROMs first. As soon as you're comfortable, you should make the jump to GB. Just a suggestion though.
As for my favorite ROMs here, I would say Bionix Frost, ICBINB Froyo and GB, and Audiophile Series (Froyo and GB). Bionix Frost was my first ROM and is still the easiest ROM to flash on this forum. Just check your mounts through CWM and flash. ICBINB is the fastest ROM I've run on Froyo, so that would be on the top of my list. Audiophile is fast and great for...audiophiles, so if music is your thing, this ROM will definitely be for you.
Of course, there are plenty of great ROMs on this forum. I haven't tried all of them (I haven't actually tried Audiophile either), but these seem to be the most popular.
Lastly, remember to read all directions carefully! Good luck!

You can still get your flash on... Just read up..

[Q] What ROM will make my Charge work like I need!?

I'm just so effin fustrated cause this crap is getting old. ALL I WANT IS A PHONE THAT DOES WHAT IS SAYS! Stock was crap, so I rooted. Now the Roms I've tried are way above what stock was. I'm gratefull to all the Devs that make this all possible. I'm in no way upset with all their hard work. They've worked hard to improve the crappy stock ROMs. Here's a list of my probs...and this is common with ALL ROMS, stock, custom, bloated, debloated, odexed, deodexed, w/ voodoo, w/out voodoo. most of my probs are with the net.
4g freezes...I get constant hiccups when I need the net the most. I just want it to work all the time..jebus!
HotSpot freezes...this is caused by the problem above. Now I pay for hot spot and use the App, and since rooted I use WiFi tether. Still same prob. My PC loads pages fast and DL quickly, then all of a sudden...nothing. I have to cycle Airplane mode. This is just getting old already...just work like it does in the damn commercials!
SiriusXM....I love listening to it. I listen in the car, but when I have a 4G hicupp, music is gone...cycle airplane mode...or restart cause the App gets frozen as well. The app works by DL about 5 mins of airplay at a time...I get stops and freezes when it does that too.
Madden 12 not smooth...why have a game compatable with a phone that doesn't work properly? BS...
Same with Skype...never works like it should.
I just want my phone, apps, and internet to work when I need it. IS that too much to ask? I can never catch a break. Right now I'm on HumbleComb 4.0. So far this is the best ROM I've had. Still have same probs, but they happen fewer than with other ROMS...
I never tired Darkcharge cause it didn't have the toolbox. Now that it does I might try it. Should I? Or should I wait for the new 2.3.5 that P3 has been saying is the best Stock ROM beating out MotoBionic, and HTC Tbolt?
Anyone else have all these issues? Am I too picky? Just wanted to vent my frustration and see if other experience the same.

Check your PM.

sucks to hear you're having these problems but a lot of them are hardware/software related an not fixable as of yet, there is a huge issue with data connectivity on the Charge which seems to be the huge deal and the GB leaks are full of bugs (and not officially supported yet which is why there's problems with apps/games on GB)... the only thing I could suggest is Imnuts Infinity rom, I had maybe 1 little issue the whole time I ran it which I unfortunately can't say about the other roms
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge

The best luck I've had is with the ep1w leak that I manually de-bloated, and zipalign using the ron toolbox. Also installed immuts repacked 2.3.5 voodoo kernal. Runs smooth. I can't remember my last force close or restart since I've been on this set up. Also using launcher pro plus

Thanks for the replys...I will try what has been suggested... still I hope when we finally get an official update(2.3.5)...and the ROMs that follow that..

[Q] I have had it with this horrible phone. Help me get a good flash for once.

In the life of this phone, I have easily flashed a good 15-20 different Roms onto the device and used most of them for a decent amount of time. NO ROM has ever worked very good at all. The best luck I have ever had were with a couple like Valhalla and Octane that would work pretty decent for a couple months then the problems would always return in full force. Again, EVERY single rom has gotten extremely annoying problems eventually. I have had it with this phone.
I don't know what I could be missing here, as I have tried multiple times to start completely fresh from stock and wipe everything before and after a flash, but nothing works. The current ROM was installed after an sd card format, full wipe, wiped caches, etc... Right now it will randomly exit the messaging app frequently, has wifi problems, apps force close, random restarts, it often won't upload/download things because it says it doesn't have an sd card, and to top it off, CWM is having problems and will get stuck on a screen with just a picture and no words.
This phone is borderline unusable for its stability and other issues and I am tired of trying to make it work well. I am not even new to flashing roms, but this phone is a headache. Someone, please help me figure out what is wrong with this phone.
Even with these problems and my long rant here, this would still be a great phone and should have plenty of life left in it. I had minimal problems with my old SGS Captivate that I had before this, so I don't know what is wrong. Perhaps a piece of hardware is faulty? I would highly doubt that. I need help!

Use the GB Starter Pack. If you are using Titanium to put everything back, it may lead to problems. I remember a couple of times where restoring all my apks and data with Titanium caused a soft boot or force close cycle.

It is currently on the non-themed Octane 3.0. I don't have the phone next to me right now, but can you explain the process for taking a log?

It sounds like you've wasted too much time trying flashing roms and trying to make the piece of crap perfect than actually using the phone. As much as I hate the stock of this phone, I will suggest using the one click kj6 heimdall then root it and voodoo no tweaks. Also start from fresh and try octane v3.0 w/o tweaks or kernal updates.

I hope that helps you out. There are some apps on the market like CatLog and aLogcat that also take logs if the guide doesn't work for you.

Im not trying to make it perfect at all. I am just trying to make it usable. It is extremely annoying when all you want to do is create a message but the app constantly force closes no matter what you do. The dialer has had the same closing problem also. Or the frequent rebooting multiple times a day. Like I said, I have had a few good flashes, but they only last for a few months until the problems come back.

To me, it seems as if though you are having some cache problems. Start fresh. Flash to froyo and try. If that doesn't work, then take your phone to t-mobile, because that is a hardware problem. I have been using the same rom for a month or two now (latest beta version of my AOSP Style) and I haven't had a single fc. I have even used processor tweaks and whatnot. SO before you cuss this phone out, I suggest you try my solution, it is guaranteed to work.

Oh yeah, as air said, it might actually be a hardware problem.

Not really sure, but if you are back to stock, I'd try to exchange it for another phone. I've had this phone since June (also not on contract), and I haven't had any of the problems you've had. Yes, I do need to reboot my phone every once in a while because bluetooth sticks and won't come on, but that's about it.
Usually, after I flash a rom and restore my programs/theme, I'll go back into cwm, wipe cache, wipe, dalvik, fix permissions, and then reboot and let the phone sit for a while. That usually takes care of making sure everything works right.
