Recommend an ROM

Hey... I'm a little confused regarding which ROM to pick for my 32A magic.
I really like the new officialli feautures (Sense and look--- Home screen, weather animations etc etc) on the HTC legend and Desire.
That's why i wan't to pick a rom which look like the "feel" of Legend / desire.
But what roms is like that?
What's important is:
- Stable
- Fast
What can you recommend? Unfortunately there are very little screens of the different version / comparisons... Thats why i'm asking here

Recommend: Read this before starting a thread, Most Question Asked are Answered
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.

Yes but instead of testing all the roms... Then i know that many doesn't meet my requirements..
"I really like the new officially feautures (Sense and look--- Home screen, weather animations etc etc) on the HTC legend and Desire." Therefore i will like a rom based on that..
And without to many screens on the site :/ it could be very easy for someone just to recommend me a couple based on that..

You can start your search here, it even includes some ratings for stability/speed etc. Just make sure it's the correct type (32A/32B) and that your radio version is correct for that rom.

I'd recommend Senpei's Legend rom. It's 2.1 with all the Sense UI goodness without too many crazy mods to unbalance it. It's for 32A w/ 6.35 radio.

For SenseUI on 32A magic, I suggest CursorSense. It's cupcake, but everything works, it's fast and perfectly stable. I still find alot of the eclair sense ROMs for new radio are still a bit unstable and some things like camera and BT may or may not work.

The problem about a topic like this is that we get one every week or so. And since it doesn't have anything to do with development of phone OS related stuff it would probably fit better in another category
Anyway
32A Cupcake with HTC sense go for CursorSense.
32A Eclair with HTC sense go for Senpei's Legend or CapySlide.

Alan090 had a decent port of the my touch slide rom here recently. Old radio.
Only thing not working decently appeared to be bluetooth. But this is a sense issue affecting android 2.1 ports to magics apparently.
I Think you would find that this rom had alot of what you want.
Personally im hoping he keeps updating it with the new cm kernel ports and the pershoot improvements. I Would like to move to it soon as my second rom.
Otherwise I agree with ronni.
The only problem I had with any new radio sense port was the fact that usb tether doesn't work properly for me.

I have tried really many different roms.
Currently i am stuck with "CyanogenMod 5.0.7t3 - Fastest Eclair 2.1(05/11/2010) OC/UV (576Mhz)" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673394) which really is very fast and stable.

just cus u asked so nicely I will grant your request and add pershoots kernel
was waiting for an update to the rom from chiefz but he seems to have been on cyanogenmod 5 or something I know thats what I am using
also this is either suited for the general section - or like above - try out a bunch
see what works for you

Thank you very much... I will look into the different Roms listed here...
But one major thingh missing.. Is screenshots of the rom's. Ex just a screendump of the homescreen and menu screen could be VERY usefull...

Changing the bluetooth stack in Android?

How easy/difficult is it to achieve this feat, and is it a kernel dependency? Main reason I ask is that Sense UI is almost perfect, but it's BT stack is the only flaw, and for some a glaring one. How would one going about replacing HTC's deficient version with, say, Koush's Cyanogen Mod version which seems to work flawlessly? Thanks in advance for any answers or insight!

no one knows? i would have thought for sure somebody here would have done it or know if its possible. I'm looking for this as well

Bump... I've been asking the same question myself recently. I have an HTC Evo 4G and love my Sense-based ROM, but I hate the fact that I can't use certain Bluetooth accessories with it (ahem... Wiimote). Does someone have an answer?

Simple answer is no. You can try a CM based rom that gives you those options but the stacks cant be swapped due to driver problems. It is a give an take. The Default has better strength and range but is missing a few unneeded option (PO), while CM uses Bluz stack which gives you the option but you lose some BT signal strength and range.

[Q] FM Transmitter

I had thought about getting one for the G1, but I kinda forgot about it.
I remembered just now that it would be nice to have one now that I have a new phone, but I wouldn't mind knowing if any of you guys have any experiences and recommendations of a good FM transmitter that I can use.
I found one on Amazon with mostly good reviews, but it seems that most of them are for the Hero, G1, MT3G and Droid. So I'm a bit apprehensive about just buying it without researching first.
Here's the one I'm looking at:
http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-System-Transmitter-Charger-ANDROID/dp/B002UKTABI
If there are cheaper or better quality FM transmitters, please let me know.
Thanks!

I'd wait on this. It appears that an FM receiver AND transmitter is in the chipset capabilities of the G2, but the question is did they connect an antenna to it. It just got eMMC perma-root, so hold on a week or so--custom ROMs, possibly with this capability, are on their way.

Sweet. I didn't think an FM transmitter could be added within a ROM. That would be awesome!

It can't, but the FM transmitter is already there, so we just need to get software to support it.

If I recall correctly, the Nexus One had the same theoretical capabilities based on it's hardware, however, at this point nobody has taken advantage if it there either :-(

Don't we just need a kernel module and some userland software to interface with it?

Wanted to know if anyone has looked into this any further.

It needs not only kernel module (drivers) and userland interface, but also framework support as well. This is similar to A2DP audio redirection to bluetooth. The kernel has to be able to communicate with the audio device, the framework has to be able to redirect the audio there, and the user has to be able to configure and enable/disable it. It's a big project.

IIRC, the MIUI team was working on FM transmission as well.

if u install the desire z rom which is sense u can use the fm radio with the wired headset plugged in on the g2. Tried,done and works

They are talking about an FM Transmitter not Receiver Richierich... Yes FM Receiver works fine on CM and Desire roms but we want the Transmitter so we can send audio to the car radio.

BT on Sense 4.0 builds

Rather than annoy devs on each Sense 4.0 post I thought I'd ask this simple question here as the BT problem is the same on each build.
BT was never working until Mdeejay fixed it (from memory). However, all the builds seem to only have a partially working fix as I cannot get my car to fully connect anymore (fine on Sense 3.6 etc).
My question is...is it a known issue that its a partial fix or do Sense 4.0 BT just not work with all devices. I need my phone to connect to my car and am happy to wait but perhaps I'm waiting for something that'll never happen!
Thanks for any heads-up

Hi,
BT stack is notoriously poor on the Sensation.
I have seen some people using the latest FAUX 005b1 KERNEL on their Sense 4.0 ROMS .
He has had a degree of success in improving the BT stack.
Might be worth a try.

Thanks. Rather embarrassingly I have never swapped the kernel that's already included in the Rom so that might be a challenge. I'll read around and see if I can do it as I like the idea of this kernel having an improved BT stack.

Hi,
Not difficult at all.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP.
Wipe cache and dalvik,
Flash kernel like a ROM.
Et voila.

Just worked that out (minus the wiping bit so not sure what I've got now )

Ahh, I see. The faux kernel made no difference and now I know why. Couldnt find that changelog but at least I know a part 2 is likely!

Has any of the dev's been able to slove the bluetooth issues as yet on sense 4. roms or near to solving the issues.

BT Fix?
Same here, like most Sense 4.0 Roms that I have tried out have been almost near perfection right up until you get to the bluetooth part, like it really bugs me cause i'm normally on my BT majority of the time. Does anyone have any idea of an ETA on the fix? Cause I really would like to go back to Sense 4.0 instead having to use Sense 3.6 still

One rule of CyanogenMod which probably applies here is don't ask for ETA it is done when its done

Eta = when it's ready/fixed.
That goes for ANY project on xda/rootzwiki/etc.
It's not like these guys are getting paid to do this, nor is it their job title of "developer".

Anybody know of a 3.6 rom that has working bluetooth voice dialing?

I agree. And for clarification, I didnt ask
I know I could just check the change logs on the each Rom but is there anywhere I can go to see progress or updates on this issue? Something about rootwiki but no idea where to look!
Thanks.

[Q] Is there any 4.2.2 ROM with working Bluetooth A2DB

I really like the new features of JB 4.2.2 based ROMs but i have one big issue:
NOWHERE the bluetooth Car Connection A2DB is working!!
I tried Vanilla Rootbox, Avatar, PAC and a few other 4.2.2 (CM10.1 based ) ROMs.
Streaming music to my car is working perfectly, i can sync my contacts to the car but a Phone call just makes "white noise".
I switched to Stock ICS 4.0.4 and here i can use the Car connection and audio is great - but Stock ICS this is abslutely not my taste.
For about 2 Weeks i'm searching for a solution now without any success
Anybody has any suggestion for a ROM, Hack or fix? <- PLEASE!
btw: Vanilla Rootbox 7 for Galaxy S is working - why not on Galaxy R??

I think its known bug buddy. Let it be fixed.

Thin is a known bug since at least january!! I thought ast least one ROM could be there where this basic wefa
Don't get me wrong all the devs do a really great job here!!
But why is the priority if implementing the basic features so the ROM gets usable so extremely low??
Who do i have to donate to get this fixed?
I would be availabe as a tester for Car Bluetooth

Also, When Devs works over any project, then they fix Major problem, not the basic one.
So let Dev to handle this.

Devs r working on it..u just have to be patient n everyone knows dey can get it done..respect wat dey have done to our device which ll not be having 4.2.2 if dey wer not der..if ur desperate to use Bluetooth a2dp, den switch over to ics

First thank you both for your answers!
I did not intend to offend somebody - sorry if it came over this way. I'm just telling my experiences and maybe i cannot write it in a polite enough manner (which is a known bug in my personal firmware).
I do respect all the devs! I already said they do a great job!
JB (CM10.1) based ROMs are great with battery life, usability, flexibility, features and everything works - except receiving calls an A2DB car hands free calling.
I tried serveral JB ROMs for a few months now, because i really like it - but my wife got crazy by now! She could almost never reach me, because the phone ignores incoming calls when it's in deep sleep or roaming - a known bug, i know. This one must be a lot harder to fix than a simple Bluetooth audio config which is 98% working anyway - thats way i just asked if there was a fix i didn't find.
On other Devices these features seem to be much easier than on the Galaxy R because both these issues are forking perfectly on our Galaxy S (1).
Regard Donation: Well, i thought the problem with this fix is that somebody might be missing a bluetooth headset to test it.
Since Media A2DB works but Hands free Calling does NOT i thought it might be just something VERY simple to fix and just the needed test-equipment is missing..
According to your recomendation i'm back to ICS Blueberry.
Thank you again!

I have the bluetooth handset.. And I know how to test Self... But no time...
