A Purely Informational Poll Of Samsung Captivate 2.3.x Rom Usage. Cast Your Vote!

Hello Community,
This is mostly for my informational purposes, but id really appreciate it if everyone would cast their vote as to which rom they are on currently. This can also serve in the short term as an informational compass to point new users twards a rom to try out. All votes in the polls are appreciated!
Thanks,
HaiKaiDo

Nevermind...

Dude, give it up. Whether you like it or not, the forum management do NOT like these kinds of posts that put the work of developers into a popularity contest. And leaving out Andromeda, one of the most popular ROMs in here, just makes the poll look silly.

I was asked by the forums mod to repost this and that he was going to lock it and sticky it so that posts like this would no longer happen and people would be able to vote without flaming. Also Apex and Andromeda will be added.

Dude you look silly
I do not see anything wrong with a thread like this. Maybe it can prevent some additional threads about what rom is best for me.
And by the way, screw you for not including asop roms, my vote is miui. (just kidding on the screw you, kinda)

That verbiage right there makes this little more than a popularity contest. New users should be reading up on any ROM they want to try, not making decisions based on the number of people using a particular ROM. The power users are switching ROMs pretty regularly, some on a daily basis, so how should they vote in this poll? The only way anyone interested in modding their phone with a custom ROM will get the info they need is to READ THE FORUM and invest the time to know what they're doing. They will only run into problems if they simply look at a thread like this, pick the one with the most votes and go at it. That's the natural tendency of humans and it goes against the grain of what users in here should be doing. There are no shortcuts.

come on man seriously , no need to stay here and set fire to my thread AGAIN. For whatever reason the mod that said he was going to lock this and sticky it has disapeared for the moment, but i suppose when he gets back all these posts will be deleted and the OP can be used to exactly what it was intended. Just a collection of data, not a popularity contest, not a noob guide to tell them what rom to install. Its just a small collection of data to see what the community is upto.

I didn't post a thing in your last thread, so don't blame me for that one being closed. The reality is that your poll is flawed simply because you limited it to only 2.3.x ROMs. That will not give a clear picture of what ROMs are being used since it omits some very fine 2.2 ROMs like Andromeda and the many users still on stock Froyo and Eclair. That renders it pretty useless as far as a statistical analysis and dangerous as it might convince some to jump to a Gingerbread ROM before they know what the consequences might be. Don't we have enough people in here with bricks and flashing problems? Why contribute to it?

just move on and don't vote

Okay lets clear this up....
I DID tell the OP to repost this thread.
Heres why.....
I agree with the rest of you that "best" rom threads are pointless and often offensive. I do not allow "best" rom threads in any of the sections I moderate.
However, this thread was not supposed to be about whats "best".
The intention was to set the poll, stick the thread and close it to prevent the usual barrage of venom and verbal diarrhea that goes with the aforementioned "best" rom threads.
I for one am curious as to how the userbase of a particular device is split between the various roms on offer and I think its a shame that there is no way to utilise the poll option to asess this.
I spoke to the OP about this and it was clear to me that he did not want to encourage discussion about whats "best", just collect the numbers out of curiousity so I agreed to give this a go....
As it stands, its not possible to close a thread and leave the poll open so it looks like we'll never know.

CM7/AOSP/ICS Discussion Thread.

Hey there everyone.
I'm from the Vibrant section, and I have some questions for you Galaxy S 4G users, please do know I searched around, but I thought it'd be best to have all the information anyone had on this particular topic all in one thread, so if anyone feels this is useless, feel free to delete it, I'm just trying to gain some knowledge. My girlfriend has a GS4G, and although the devs have done a great job modding Samsung's ROMs.. they don't compare to AOSP ROMs in my opinion.
Now, for the questions.
1. Why is it we can't get a working kernel to boot for the GS4G? (Someone please do explain in detail.)
2. How far has someone gone/gotten? (I know krylon handed the work to someone, but I don't think they've reported back?)
And please, no stupid answers. This is pure discussion. If a kernel dev is what we need, I could try to find one that's willing to work with me, but we'd need testers and such.

From what I heard and read around, you guys don't have any devs thats capable of doing that.

Alright, flame me.. because I'm definitely doing something wrong. I'm in no way demanding an ETA or even demanding anyone to start working on this, I simply wanted to group the information anyone knows so we could help each other.. you know.. kind of what a community does?

Guys, being cynical and trolling won't get us anywhere, and tell you the truth, it's childish and starting to bore.
The guy said he wanted a technical status summary and specifically said he wants to help.
In this case, i think we do need to maintain a thread of work chords and specify the barriers.
I thank every new dev with a will to help.
I think he deserves a different attitude than a noob, especially if we don't want to scare all devs from here.
That's my opinion anyway.

It's ok. I've responded to a few of these threads. It's surprising how many people don't click 'search' and search for 'cm7' or 'cyanogenmod'. I also don't expect people to read both rootz and xda. So if you read my op on the kernel thread, I have a "Plans" section (on both forums!).

Starting threads like these without searching only causes trolling and thread thrash (a lot of useless threads in the forum that blur the current state).

Lets keep this thread going I am also wondering how come there is so little development here but what developers we have are dedicated!

We have great developers that work hard on cm. The sgs 4g is the problem of not having it, freaking sammy with their experiments. i really enjoy their masterpieces(devs). Op you just have to have some patience, cm will come to us i believe in our devs.

Then why didn't you group all the information that is already available in the 50 other threads about CM7 into this one?
if you really wanted to do that, you could have made your OP a summary with bullet points of the details of everything that was already discussed, and then updated it with new information that comes along.
did you even search at all??

Personally I think the person that cast the raise dead spell should be getting beat with the flame bat.
I swear sometimes people are too eager to flame somebody. Its like they had a bad day come to xda to post behind a anonymous screen name and then walk away feeling better. But that is just me, Im sure my observation is wrong.

First of all, this has never been my primary device. I have never owned this device. I used to own the Samsung Vibrant, now I own a Nexus S. My girlfriend owned a Galaxy S 4G, and was using her phone to try to bring something new to you guys. (First ICS theme for this device ring a bell?) It's not my job to group 50 other threads about CM7 into this one. That's not what a community is. I am in no way a recognized developer, I know my stuff, but I have a long way to go. But it's people like you that make devs want to leave and stop posting their stuff. You swear people have time to do everything. And indeed that was my intention, but I wasn't going to pull useless information from other threads that members have posted, that are often inaccurate. This thread was mostly meant for devs, that could actually help out, and working together.
In other news, I finally have some time to mess around with stuff, might look into more themes or something, but I lack a device to work on, so I guess if some people would like to help (testing, etc.) I'd be glad to push things out from time to time.

[Q] Thinking About Getting a Xoom

So I see a lot of questions about ICS roms. In the past, I had read that this is considered a Google Experience flagship, that it didn't come with any skins and was a pure Android. Since it's upgrade to ICS, is this still the case or have skins like Motoblur been added?
Also, if this is pure Android, then why is there interest in making additional roms for ICS if it is already barebones Android?

Is this really so hard a thread for you more experienced lurkers to answer? I see I must have obviously offended someone by asking it in the question and answer board. Thanks anyway.

You offend people with the lack of effort on your part. Your answers could easily been found by going to a custom rom thread and reading the list of additional enhancements. Hell, if you are lazy you can even go on YouTube and watch people talk about the rom. There also have been threads that talk about this already. Use the search feature and if that doesn't work out well, use Google and include "xda" along with whatever you are searching for.

I actually have looked into it, and everyone does praise ics on the Zoom, and it is never explicitly said that it has a skin on it, but that doesn't change the fact that xda is more appropriate a source for a correct answer. I haven't seen any quality reviews for it, the hardware being as old as it is. No one has anything to say other than it got the update and that it's fast.
As for the part about roms, they are sexondary, and no, I didn't do any research into that; I will acknowledge that I should have.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA

No skin.
Stock is stock. It gets updated in major revisions only. Custom roms have nightlies, even.
Additional hacks and upgrades are made with custom rom. Like having a stock car, and then putting a loud sports exhaust on it. Undisirable to most, but gives more performance to those that want it.

Development : Posting ROM issues in the first post?

I've happily owned a G2X for almost 7 months now, and have used a custom rom for essentially the entire time.
Prior to the G2X, i used the HTC HD2 - a Windows 6.5 phone that gained notoriety after having android ported to it through the hard work of developers.
However, one thing that I feel is truly missing from the development community here is what most HD2 devs did; that is, they disclosed the problems with their ROM in the first post of their threads.
So, rather than having to hunt through a 200+ page thread, not knowing what build people are referring to, in order to find out issues with a ROM, it would very much simplify the ROM selection process if devs would disclose known issues such as "non working camera" etc.
Obviously every issue cant be accounted for, but I think the big ones being posted would help clarify a lot of things.
Thoughts?
Edit:
For example, here's a link to one of tytung's HD2 roms (he's one of the more popular developers for the HD2):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
If you scroll down, you'll see he has a list of "working" and "not working" features.

Nobody has any interest in something like this?

Well the thing is all our rooms are based off stock,cm7, or cm9 in one way or another. So everyone knows of the known issues. If its a weird issue out of the norm its usually stated.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Reasoning above doesn't hold up, because each rom has things that are fixed or not fixed individually.
I'm not sure of the reasoning, and i guess different devs might have different reasons. Depending on their priorities and skill levels.
Of course if someone is cooking and theming and/or just vanilla compiling then maybe there's less reason (and perhaps more reason to deemphasize bugs?).
Anyways, i agree that an informative first post with a real change log and working and non working features is a very handy thing to have.

I don't think everyone knows the issues. In fact, if you're new to the community you certainly wont.
Stating the problems is what sparked a ton of competition in the HD2 dev community. The first guy to fix the camera, first guy to fix bluetooth powerdrain etc always got a ton of donations and a better rep. I just don't see that competition here at all.
I don't care about a custom bootloader image or some custom wallpapers. I care about the issues being fixed, and I would love to know which devs are the ones fixing them!

It really doesn't matter who fixed them, as long as they're fixed. It's not a competition over here. The devs here help each other, especially with ICS. If one of us has a fix for something, it's shared and we all get it. Majority of the people doing the reading that they're supposed to do know the issues that we have with this phone. It just comes down to, are you willing to read to get all of the facts?

Exactly. We don't do this for competition. We do this as a hobby and we all learn from each other. And even the best developers out there are still learning. If you think developers do this for money you are sadly mistaken, money is in app development not roms.
We all have families, kids, school, jobs and a real life. Therefore free time is hard to come by.
You can go to any development thread skim over the last two pages and have the known issues.

I guess your reading comprehension isn't very good. I explained why and how there may be differences. If your experience is mainly doing what I called "vanilla compiling" or theming then I guess I could see how you would generalize that all ROMs will be the same though.

I'm not sure why you feel the need and give yourself the permission to get up on your high horse here. I'm aware of source control and I was using it and writing C code nearly 20 years ago although I'm not a programmer now nor was I then but thanks for informing me. I also note the lack of a git or other source control published in the first post of your ROM in the dev section. As I'm sure you know many (most?) other ROM's don't either in there.
Not sure what you're afraid of to be getting your back up. Nobody cares if you just barely learned how, or are an expert at, writing code. People will appreciate a community contribution regardless.

Well plainly you have not read the umpteen million threads regarding lg and nvidias lack of open source. If you want the source for any of the roms I've posted that are based off of a stock rom. My source is right there in the rom. Decompile it and look at it. Just like i decompiled it and modded it. You want the source for my cm/aosp based roms its on my github. Want the source for aokp? Its on github and gerrit.
People clearly appreciate my contributions in the android community. I'd say 1000s of downloads and being kanged countless times can prove that. And in case you haven't noticed their aren't many devs in the g2x community. And certainly hardly any of them are going to come answer a thread posted in the wrong section.
Lastly I am not on any high horse nor have I ever been. I have done more then my part to help and contribute to this community. When you post something constructive then you can try to bring your constructive criticism my way.
That is all have a good day. We will post our threads how we want to. Please learn to read a few replies and the answers are there.

Pretty sure this response answers the OP's question far better than I ever could have. Thanks for demonstrating.

Friendly forum

I just wanted to say that everyone has been so nice and helpful on this forum. I came from the atrix 4g forum and wow can people get *****y and snap at every little thing. God forbid you're a noob over there, cuz if so you ask a question and get attacked! So I just want to say its nice to see not everyone is so grouchy on these public forums.

haha you'll have a fair share here as well, you will have people bashing on other people for not using the search button to find their answer but you know somewhere in time they also did the same :silly:
as long as you give a positive attitude and give constructive replies then you should be good.. not much of a fan of those people who just bash other people and not even answer the question lol

Oh yes I know. that is pretty much what most people do over there. Bash bash bash, then report the thread. Just makes you not feel welcome if its your first time there. I try to help if I know the answer, if not, I move on even if its annoying. Being a noob once myself, if I had gotten that kind of welcome I would have said forget it. But here, I jumped right in and have gotten nothing but nice answers from people. 2 weeks with the rocket now and i feel welcome.

Skyrocket is a good phone and the developers here are great. If you haven't tried the CM10 builds you should, it's a really nice rom.
There are plenty of bashers here, but I tend to just ignore them, and you will soon figure out who the valuable contributors are...

Do not forget to mention a whole lot stable and very solid ics based roms. And yes this particular forum can get aggrivating at times. I'm pleading the fifth for a here and there moment.

Thanks to both of you. I really like this phone. I love and still have my atrix, but I wanted some support and once you buy moto, seems they just don't care anymore. I have already tried 2 cm10 ROMs, liquid and orthus. I really liked liquid, but the freezing and reboots plagued me so gave orthus a shot. No problems at all. I've asked questions of both developers and got quick nice responses. Such a welcome change from being told to figure it out myself from members at atrix forum.

I recommend slim or aokp xperiance for the job action. Both seemed to have less sods and RRs.

As someone who occasionally falls into the "basher" category here, I can honestly say that it's not without reason. If you come in and post a series of questions that show that you didn't read a thing before flashing, I'll tell you straight up that you're going to brick if you don't stop. I don't hold the hands of people who can't be troubled to figure out which JB ROM is most stable the same way the rest of us did--by reading and flashing. Going into ROM threads and baselessly slamming the dev will also get me riled up quickly, because I have yet to see a dev community as thorough and thoughtful as the one the Skyrocket has.
Even still, I'd like to hope I've mellowed out lately, if for no other reason than I've just accepted that those who don't want to read won't read a thing until they have a brick. Hence my new signature line. And for what it's worth, this is one of the more positive XDA communities I've read through. I've seen members on one board intentionally try to hard-brick others who repeatedly ask dumb questions!

I'm with this guy:good:

I love that you feel that way.
I think we just have much stricter moderators than many of the other forums. I've read through quite a few of the other phone forums and it seems like people get away with A LOT more than we could.
That being said- even MY version of trolling will get you reported here (very low key.. Just nicely point people in the right direction... But people like to get angry when you tell them they are wrong). So I don't even do that.
Glad I could contribute to your overall good feelings here, though. I work really hard at being nice
