Just came from the Sidekick 4G family, and now I was looking for some feedback on the best ROMs, themes, apps..
Can I root with the Super One Click method?
Any feedback greatly appreciated

I dontknow if the one click method works with gb. I rooted mine before one click was available and have t kept up on it.
All u gotta do I follow the steps for installing cwm, backup ur current set up, then flash whatever rom you want. These steps are in the development section.
Welcome, enjoy

This is probably a great place to start:

If you're looking for a ROM based off the the stock OTA 2.3.3., Weapon is really popular.
Otherwise, you can stick to the guide and install a nightly of CM7 or, one of my favorites, doniqcc's EaglesBlood which is CM7 based.
Oh alright thanks dudes
I'll give it a go and see what happens

I want to switch between MIUI and CM7 and I was hoping that I could just flash each one whenever I want. Im currently running CM 7.0.3.1 for the HTC evo 4G if that helps. Thanks for any help

You can just make sure u wipe everything before u flash it and it should go alright
Make a backup of your current rom in recovery. Wipe factory/data, cache, davlik, flash the other rom, flash gapps, then make a backup of that rom. Then you can switch between the backups in recovery.
First of all thanks for the help guys but I think I didn't explain what I was looking for very well. I wa hoping that I wouldn't have to wipe and stuff. I wanted to just be able to keep my data folder and just have to flash the Rom each time without having to wipe and after restore

You'll have to do a full wipe whenever switching to a different ROM. The only time you do not have to do a full wipe is when you are changing nightlies or updating your current ROM.
All right thanks. U mind telling me which one is better in ur opinions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Actually their both good! I started out w/ CM, the nightlies have a few bugs at times, but most of them eventually get resolved..!! At the moment though i use Evo Decks and/or MIUI, just because everything works w/ these roms and they agree w/ Tiamat kernels very well, fast and smooth and battery life is great!!! If you like changing the look of your phone often, then i'd go with MIUI coz of the theme manager...

I like CM7 but I kinda just reminds me of my old moto Droid but Miui thats just a turn in a new direction. I would choose MIUI over CM7 but both are great! Right now im running the rom from E prophecy, its just sense but im a flash-a-holic so I wanted to try it out.
All right awesome thanks a lot guys. Tonight I'm gonna titanium backup and then flash Miui. Thanks again guys
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Well Im running miui now and I love the UI. Thanks again

switch to savage zens rom. Its super fast, stable, and fuzes elements of both MIUI and CM7.
I just switched to it from MIUI, and I ran that for a week after a month of using CM7, and I am in absolute love. I encourage anyone to give it a shot.

Just a heads up if you want 4G/Wimax MIUI doesn't have it yet. CM7 and Savaged-Zen do.
Im gonna download it tonight and try it out. Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
i switch between miui, cm7, and savaged-zen pretty often. the latest miui builds seem slow on my phone no matter what kernel, and the latest builds of savaged zen dont agree with my phone, so im stuck with cm7 for the moment which is not half bad
Well looks like nostalgia kicked in because it still prefer CM7 out of the 3 roms mentioned here unless anybody has any other AOSP rom suggestions

I like decks rom. Based off cm. Has it's benefits plus what he's trying to implement. Such as sprint dial codes

hi. i rooted my phone for the first time yesterday. i only did it because i'm new to this and i'm kind of a dork i wanted to see how it works. i also wanted to get rid of some of the stock apps that i don't use. what's the best ROM to flash for a beginner and is there somewhere i can find instructions on how to do it? i know bricking is a possibility if i do it wrong, and that's what i'm trying to avoid.
You can search for specific things, or look at the Bible thread. Tells you exactly what you can do with the phone
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Check out the bible. Its very helpful. I'd stay away from gb Rom until you are comfortable with flashing.
Personally i like the audiophile redux and icbinb. Those ares smooth roms. Black ice is good but it's a little difficult to get running.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
GB is definitely tricky, but fbis has a great tutorial on how to flash. GB starter pack

I would flash Valhalla the dev gave really easy instructions of how to flash it

Im currently running tsugi rom. And ive been wondering if i can get stock look on it (basically everything). Is there a flashable cwm zip somewhere? Ive looked for it but i havent found it. If anyone knows, please post link to download or the link to the thread with download link. Thanks .
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Either use xborder's stock ROM, or EaglesBlood stock ROM. Both have the stock GB look.
Im asking if i can get the stock look on tsugi.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I gave you his those two options because there's no way to get the stock look on Tsugi unless you know how to do it yourself, or use the UOT kitchen.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Couldnt i just flash a stock framework-res.apk from either those roms? Or is the g2x more complicated?

You might mess up stuff. Tsugi's framework is different from stock. He added the toggle widgets that you see and probably did other changes as well. So it might be trickier than that. Do you not wanna leave Tsugi?
Because there's other alternatives to the stock ROM.
Id be willing to flash weapon g2x as ive used whitehawks roms on other phones too and they're flawless. But maybe ill try eaglesblood once he updates. Thanks for your help!

I have a vibrant and a mytouch 4g and i know almost how to do everything on these phones and u guys know how stressful and how much information u need to suck in before u feel comfortable attempting to root and flash roms and I'm used to rom manager and stuff that I understand u can't use on this phone So my friend wants me to root his galaxy s 4g so it can be faster and have a lot more app space. But I don't feel like researching and testing for hours. So I was wondering if u guys could help me out and point me to the best way to root and best rom and tweaks to apply and if u guys could I would be forever grateful. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Best way to root is to Odin a modded kernel. You get root and clockworkmod in one shot. Just use a gb kernel if on gb and if on froyo use a froyo kernel. as far as roms go I loved Valhalla. Very few issues and good speed/battery life.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Well he is on froyo now but would want to get to gingerbread what would I want to flash I'm guessing gingerbread but just want to make sure and could u recommend one that is good and can undervolt
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Personally I would use kies mini to upgrade to the official gingerbread then Odin a modded kernel to get root and cwm then flash either whitehawkx's Valhalla or ravers' octane rom. Flashing a gb rom while on froyo will cause bootloader issues.

I have a Vibrant also and after doing alot of searching and reading I found a thread called GB Ext4 Starter Pack which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
Follow it exactly and your friends phone will be fine. I also recommend flashing the Valhalla Final Rom. It is by far the best Rom I've tried for the SGS4G. Good luck.
Thank u everybody

The same way you flashed CM, download, put on the root of your sd card, and flash them. I believe these are the latest: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
Thank you so much it works great thank you again

So you obviously know way more then I do about this what is the best rom in your opinion? And does that app pack work on all roms or just cyanogen mod?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It works on all ROMs except the CM9 alpha that was released. Until you're less new you might want to hold off on that until there is a stable release.
Thanks the cyanogen nightly that I installed is slower then the stock one .just wondering what roms are best
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Google Euroskank and go to the first one that pops up, hit the P999 tab and grab the latest and grab any of the custom kernels that strike your fancy or do what I started to do and try one for a week or two and see how I like it.
I thought those were only for the O2x not g2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Nope, just make sure you choose P999 from their page. The official CM got was down and I liked their nightlies and had no problems I didn't have on the stable release.

So what would be the best in your opinion to use
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Kernel?
It depends: If you want battery life get Trinity ELP (I that's the one, the one which only allows to OC to 1.1GHz) if you want pure power go for Faux, if you want a balance (don't know if it has Voodoo sound though) go for Dragon for CM7 (not OTA).
So I take it that you can use different kernals with different roms and you flash them the same as the roms?

Most, if not all of the newer custom roms are debloted, meaning the bloat has been removed in OTA based roms. If its AOSP or CM based, it's built without bloat.
