[Q] Customizing Rom - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

hey im some what of a newb. ive been installing several diff roms and testing them out.
my question is can i use the add-ons and downloads at the end of rom posts for any rom? or are those specific to the roms that are posted?
ie i like the stock looking roms bc of the performance. but i like ICS rom bc of some of the animations. would i be able to install animation zips from seans ICS rom to a NeXusMOD, without screwing up my phone?
Thanks in advance!

Some ad ons work with some roms. Do a nandroid backup. And test them for yourself. But notball work on all roms. So if u cant find anything in a particular roms thread pertaining to it. Your going to have to just test it yourself.

it should say what rom it's available for... if not just assume that its for the rom it's posted under... cuz that's the way they do it most of the time anyways..

hey, can we get a bigger font? i have been drinking tonight and i cant read the OP

thanks for all the answers! i will be doing a lot of testing in the next few days. and yes sorry i did make that font a lil bigger than i needed too lol.

(REQ) stock tmo us 2.3.4 rooted

since there seems to be so much confusion about this update for those of us that are on stock 2.3.3 rom and are rooted and s off revolutionary , i would like to request a rooted stock version of 2.3.4 since i don't know what would happen if i try to apply this ota update with my situation. thanks
No one has it yet. Most of the people posting links to download isn't even the full ROM.
Install a custom ROM!
Stupid and useless Thread ... sry but we dont need it!

Full ROM isn't needed to make a rooted version of an update.
I've had a Nexus One and a Nexus S, they're quicker over there.
simple request, maybe its useless for you then don't read it ****...I don't want a custom one, I like stock and I'm sick of people like you on these forums that criticize people for wanting a stock rooted rom and don't want all the extra tweaks. Worry about what your running and not everyone else
@xtcislove
I will have a stock rooted rom up in a little while
thanks man!

Amen to that, about the custom ROMs...You custom ROMers are just pushing us stock ROMers further away. The only custom ROM, aside from having this one tailored to us noobs with S-oFF, CWM, and root,that I want is CM7.
Enough pushing already! We know where to go if we want a ROM. Seriously, I dont understand this peer pressure BS? Is there money involved? WTF is it? Why do people here give a crap about whether or not someone has a custom ROM over stock?

As you said, peer pressure. They must think that their way is the only way; hence, the pushing.

I agree. And those people pushing us to use custom roms must think that they're cool just cause they're using custom roms. Funny, when you go to the custom rom threads that they're pushing us to use, they have tons of issues and problems too! A lot more than the stock rom ones. And yet they tell you to install custom roms when you post having issues with the stock one, like they don't already have their own. I myself use custom roms every once in a while, I admit. But for reliability on the gps, camera, MMS size etc., I always go back to my nandroid backup. Custom roms are just for aesthetics and not too reliable as some of these fanatics are claiming. Also, my nandroid sensation with bloat removed is just as fast or even faster than most of these custom rom ones. And more reliable.

I appreciate there are other roms similar like teppic74 or alex's gingerbread(where these mods came from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745919) but this is bloatware free unlike above
many thanks to the devs that made the mods and inspired me to want to modify my own rom, alex and rootsu for answering my noob questions and assistance.
Im not a dev just someone who wanted more space, so any noobs want a clean base with extras to start or just want a easy rom here it is.
http://dev-host.org/u5i04vkddfpb/apps2sdfinsih.zip
heres a lighter rom with even less apps,calculator.rss. others,cant remeber what, enuff space to load apps on system so keep your partition free for even more apps!! plus new battery mod
http://dev-host.org/thbccdzk9ulx/dw2.3lighter.zip
heres a version of the rom that will fit into the data++ hboot. slimmed down and added zeam launcher,by xda member oudbrood.big kudos to u man.

@dan281082
Please give the credits to the DEVs of mods. You write that you are not DEV, but somewhere you have to have the mods. Thank you
i come her for the knowledge others can pass on and if i can pass on anything to anybody then ill be pleased, there obviously others who dnt appreciate there are noobs who dnt want to deviate from what they have to much just want space and other mods.
i may post this back up if theres interest .
i wanna thanks 2 people who made the effort to help not hinder me when i needed it. they are what these forums are about alex, and rootsu.cheers guys.
well, to be honest, this might be all I need. thanks
This did fill a gap. Init.d support?

i was going to start making my own rom then i asked myself that question...couldnt answer it with something not already on the current roms -_-
Sent from my potato using xda premium
the thing you gotta ask yourself like the others are saying is what do you want your rom to have. you want a theme feel to it or do you wanna keep it looking stock. also gotta figure if you wanna add some tweaks or not. there's a lot you gotta figure out before you make a rom. also, you gotta know a lot about what does what when tweaking and all that. i was also thinking about doing some roms myself, but then decided against cause i for one don't have the time nor do i have the patience the devs here have. you also gotta remember that there are gonna be people here who want you to change some things about your rom. and not to mention, you gotta have the time to offer support for it as well. if you do decide to go for it, i wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing your work.
well i do want to learn how to tweak the phone and themes and all that good stuff, i recently messaged raver and he gave me a good start, so i will start studying linux and java then ill be back hopefully with enough info to tweak some newer OS leak or if anything help out on another phone ( hopefully it wont be that long) but like i said i want to learn for self knowledge and also to help create some awesome stuff in the XDA
and i do have the time to support and modify roms as needed.
so if anyone has any advice on the best way to learn linux and java faster post post post!!! lol
and ill come back and read between my readings thanks for not being jerks by the way lol
Also i might base my rom on Android 2.1 J/K haha but im off to a good start tonight

if you wanna base a rom on froyo, by all means go for it. you would be surprised how many people still run on froyo here. some are afraid to take the plunge to gingerbread cause its not official yet for our device. go with what you feel is best. personally, i think there should be a dev who still makes roms for froyo for those who don't wanna take the plunge. its all up to you though. good luck with your journey either way though.
your right im on raver's octaine and its cool but a couple days ago i flashed back to Audiophile Redux 1.3.3 and i saw a big difference in radio and wifi strength so i might actually start off with a Froyo rom, but i was just making a joke earlier cus i said 2.1 like an eclair rom lol
sence so many are intrested in this actually didnt think that many would.. after i update my roms maybe before then i dono... Ill make you all a compendium of how to build apps how to modify exzisting roms how to build your own rom aka asop how to port roms theme them etc... Ill also prob ask krylon and whitehawk and any other dev that wants to contribute to this. If anyone does. It doesnt hurt and hey if a few ore devs come out of it so be it .. If anyone ever has a question 99 percent of the time u can ask people i will reply and give u the answer or if i dont know the answer ill direct you to the proper place to look for it
haha aawesome!!! see this is exactly why i only flash Raver roms!!! wooo i went from octaine 1.0 to audiophile redux to octaine 2.x to audiophile x2 back to octaine 2.x haha
If Raver leaves my phones post- SGS4G will all remain stock lol
im also looking into modding nd tweaking roms myself so a guide like the one raver is gonna make would be very helpful. thanks in advance
As the OP can i erase some comments on this post? lol just asking...again!
also one more question im back to Audiophile Redux 1.3.3 would the SGS4G Adrenaline shot v12 work with my Froyo rom?

2.3.6 VictoryRom -> ?

Hi Guys,
I'm currently on 2.3.6 VictoryRom v1.1 which new ROM has ICS and will give me the best performance?
Will it be as simple as installing from .zip using clockwork?
Thanks for the help!

To use ICS roms you have to upgrade to ICS first.
As for roms, it's all personal opinion what is best. If HDMI/lapdock support isn't essential for you, I would recommend CM10.

Cm10 roms are not stable.you can update to stock pics and root your phone.then pimp it(using pimpmyrom) free in play store.

Uhh..no CM10 is actually really stable. There are a couple really minor bugs left.. but it's Jelly Bean so it's smooth as butter (project butter) and is well worth the tiny bugs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869692
yeah, cm10 is very stable.. no random reboots or anything for me.. sure it has a few bugs, but nothing to stop you from using it as your daily driver. Actually what keeps making me go back to cm10 is that its so friggin smooth and ofcourse the little customisations you can do and themes..
For the OP, I dunno much about the GB roms, but id recommend both cm10 and and magicmod with performance and customisations in mind and that they are JB based
If you want full functionality, then all the ICS roms are good, just read thru the threads for the ROMs and devs description and screenshots and try the one according to need.. the latest one is numa and the first one is SCV7 which still is one of the best roms for our phone on ICS. If you ask me, you'll know which one to use only after youve flashed enough
Also remember to read the devs description of the ROM and how to flash properly, cause you need to use different recoveries for different ROMs. So better if you read up as much as you can. Do keep a backup of your stock ICS on ur sdcard, (i have like 3 now stock, cm10, numa) but you know how it goes, since youre already on a ROM..
Mostly youre gonna love your phone more after you get on ICS and flash one of the ICS and JB roms. Happy flashing !
EDIT: i missed it, but better if you post questions in the Q&A thread..
Thanks for the reply. I'll try CM10.
When installing ICS, will all I need to do is install .zip Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip? for ICS leak#1 or will I have to downgrade first?

yes.. I got Optimus G Lets see how it works out. I was actually about to recommend your rom to this guy.. So was checking your both roms. Anyway We will meet again. I was off the development for sometime as I had SGS2 (I9100), It had so many roms that I did nothing. But Now as I'm on LGOG may be I might need to cook. if time permits.
anyway from my side a BIG THANK YOU to you and Jim.. for putting so much work on this tread.
I loved Victory Rom. I'm sad to hear there wont be another one for my A2
CM10 doesn't have a functioning camera? doh

I'll be updating this as soon as I can, busy work/life ATM, but wanted to have a place for Gee One's debloated roms/CWM since he's put a lot of work into the community.
What kind of ROM is it?
Based on?
Whats the major differences to Cyanogen Mod?
Bump... Any links? Can't find it in the development thread.
Bump... sure would like to see these ROMs. Stock has a ton of bloat.
