[Q] Cognition 4.1 Rom Boring????????

I was using Cognition 2.3. The home screen was simpler and has a sleeker look. The app screen was the same. Why does Cog 4 seem like a jump back to my Stock Rom. Maybe I'm just stupid???? lol

Because, you know, it IS a jump back to stock ROM?
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod

whats the point?
why release a new version that is less impressive than its predecessor? Doesn't make whole hell of a lot of sense to me. But again maybe I'm just stupid.

DG's whole point with Cog 4/4.1/4.1.1, is to try to keep it looking and running as stock as possible. Everything that was pre Cog 4 already had an ass ton of themes that were compatible and DG started incorporating them into the ROM's.
DG has a life, so don't jump his nuts and complain about him pushing out a boring ROM. For free. Nobody told you to flash it, and there's plenty of other ROM's out there. Or you can just switch back to your previous ROM.

+1 He even says that he tries to keep it as stock as possible all ROMS have their differences its all about your own personal preference.

I love ALL these custom ROMS I can't seem to keep the same one for more than a week, the only ones that I have been able to kep for long are Cognition and Serendipity.

Cognition 4.1 is meant for people like me that wan custom r o m,but wan it to look like stock 1

I don't think he meant boring like a bad job. Once some themes are ported then everyone should be happy. You can't knock the performance or smoothness of cognition. It will work and be consistent. Maybe it is boring in the fact that you can run it and forget you even have a custom rom going. That's because DG is that good. Thanks again!

Cognition may be boring for some but I need my phone to work and so far it gives me the best balance of features and reliability.

Cognition isn't as much a rom as it is a rooted, debloated, stock setup. Couple theme improvements like extended power. Using a voodoo enabled kernel. It is a setup one could achieve if they updated to kb1 on their own relatively easy.
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App

I liked Cog too, but wanted something different than stock. That's why I loved perception, but its discontinued now. Perception 10.4 is a solid rom, stable, fast, and has that slight aosp feel.
Ultimately I went to FireFly. I love it. I how easy they made it to customize. It comes with an app that will showcase and download the other battery's and dialers. I sometimes feel like I need to enable the lagfix, but haven't yet.

Two posts in the forum and you've managed to criticize the excellent work of one of the most prolific ROM cookers on XDA solely based on your ignorance of what DG does and why. You might want to create a new account and start over. Knocking a guy's work that he provides for free is just bad juju.

I think he can leave his screen name alone. He did not say anything offensive just asked an honest question.

It was an ignorant question, not an honest one. I wasn't in here long before I knew what DG's ROMs are about. Cog 4.x is all about providing a ROM that is as close to stock Froyo as possible without all the bloatware and just a few tweaks to provide better peformance. The kind of things most users who don't want to mess with themed ROMs or exotic kernels want. And criticizing the work that someone provides for free is just wrong whether it makes sense to him or not. I can see knocking a dev for putting out a shoddy product, but with all the choices in ROMs available in here for the Cappy it makes no sense to knock one just bcause you find it "boring."

[Q] Which ROM to install on my wifes Infuse (NEED SOME HELP)

This is my first post on your site and I have to say what a site it is...this has to be one of the best D:
I’m looking to install a good ROM on my wife’s infuse and have found so many fantastic looking ones on XDA but unsure which one is the best ( I know its hard to say who’s is better than who's but could you guys/girls give me some recommendations? one that will at least help battery life and more flexibility on the phone I was thinking about [UNOFFICIAL] Compiled CM 7 for Infuse 4G [2.3.7] any suggestions / recommendations I would appreciate it. Thanks

try a few see what works best

I could do that but figured I could do a one shot and be done lol

I haven't personally tried it out since my phone's just now starting to get back from repair, but I hear dman's ZEUS is a fantastic ROM.

He heard about it.
I am using it.
Flash ZEUS on to your wife's phone, and then sit back and relax.

For your Wife's phone? I'd recommend ZEUS...it's no hassle and once you get it running it should require minimum support.
CM7 is also very nice and has most of the AT&T bloatware removed.
I have had excellent battery life on both.

Thanks lads.. I will go with the ZEUS and see how that works out.

Zeus is a very good choice love it. But I've got a new spit in my heart for super cm7

I ran it for a few days, was stable, very flashy on colors, links are still there just because the threads closed but I am sure with the amount of people that DL it, a mirror can be sent your way. Common bug, didn't see or feel more like people just unfamiliar with the setting, lots of setting the individual user can apply, so people just had issues making their way around the ROM.

Zeus has framework edits and files added from i9000 and libs, and some from cappy to make jkay work... I had to do what I had to do to make the mod work... its not a port bruh .... its infuse based with a lot of major edits, more like hybrid... you Dont like it flash something else, I'm just tired of all the crying over 3 weeks of fezzy and my hard work... that's why I closed the threads.. people are just ungratefull .... it says final for a reason... no more development.... so now ill just pull the download and be done with it. No skin off my back. I thank the ones who actually support Zeus and the work we put in.. have a nice day all...

Take care...

i have been running zeus since the first day i had my infuse , even though i flash other roms i always went back to zeus because it is my DD , sorry if you think my words are ungrateful but i'm just reporting what i experienced , i'm a noob at android and when i said it feels like a port because well, it acts like a port like you said( hybrid ) and the bugs ( not for some ) acts just like the i9000 ports not trying to flame you at all. and i know you put 3 FULL weeks working on this final rom. but don't expect to be perfect, nothing is perfect we are all just guinea pig to your roms ,thats what you want right? or to have nobody running your hard worked rom
why would you take the download link off? if i offended you, just be pissed at me there are hundreds of people wanted to try out your rom , too much coding make you stressed
i'm still running zeus ztr it as i type
anyways when i get a note i'll be running solaris prime

Does anyone here have a copy of of Z-TR that they can be so kind and upload because the original thread link is not working at all, keeps talking about 404 errors.

I have a copy of ztr 4 of em lol however i dont have the ability to upload it for people to dl!
And after the amount of horsehocky Dman and those who put their time and effort into this have endured, i probably wont upload this file to a share site out of respect to the devs who worked on this!
As much as i would like to be able to lock my phone so no one can access my phone and have my bluetooth fixed, Dman was very clear 2 weeks before release of z-tr that he had gotten sick of all the people giving grief over this that and what not!
When he released z-tr he was also CLEAR as no further dev would go into rom "hence final release".
When he opened a thread for themes i was like sweet a lil theme work perhaps a tiny patch, but once again Grief hit and well it is what it is!
Im happy with what Dman Fezzy and the rest of the collective did with Z-Tr.
My Advice to those griefers dont like the work at&t came out with the update IT SUCKS!
THANKS TO THE COLLECTIVE AND THEIR WORK.
when i get a dif phone i will be looking to the collective and dman for what he makes for [email protected]!

Guy this question has been asked a thousand times with a thousand different answers. There is no top or stable ROM, they are ALL GREAT. Only what you feel best using and your needs of it. Try a few on for size and see what works for you and feels best for you. Coredroid for a stock look or absolution 3.7 for a no sense. But then these are my favorites but watch how many more responses you get till you get closed.

Look, I use my phone as a work phone (so I need an amount of stability), and I find aospx AR28 stable enough for a daily (that said, AR26 saw fewer freezes and reboots, food for though).
However, if you need camcorder, aospx (any ICS?) isn't for you.

Well lets start with congrats man on getting an Inspire. The Inspire community is awesome and there is a constant flow of great work being done by the amazing devs here. First, please search. I don't mean to come off as a jerk but it is part of the rules you agreed to when you signed up and literally if you searched "best rom" or "stable rom" you would most likely see what we have all been telling you and that is: There is no best stable ROM. Every ROM has its issues. What one person swears by another person won't. Only you know what you're willing to live with and live without. Try some ROMs out and see what works best. Here are my recommendations but they are by no means an all inclusive list of "best ROMs", just my personal preference.
Sense 3.5 = Bindroid
Basically stock = Cleardroid
AOSP/CM = Absolution
ICS = Redemption or Melchizedek

if i could stay on one rom long enough to find out if it's stable or not would be a great thing. stupid ROM A.D.D.

Don't forget cyanogen7.2 (newest release) for a wide variaty of customization.
Like others said before there are tons of roms in the developer section of the xda/inspire4g.
Welcome to the freedom of android. The best thing about rooting is the personalization. You can find just about any theme, os, app, or widget you can imagine.
Start with the ace hack kit, read the effin manual (that's what its called) do some reading on the available roms, download from the site or open up rom manager (if available) flash from rom manager.
Which ever rom you choose remember read the first post on the dev thread back and forth up and down. Once you do that...... read it again. All the important info you need for that rom is in the first post.
If you have questions on terms or what something is. Just Google said something followed by xda htc inspire 4g and you should find exactly what your looking for.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.

As stated none can tell you what rom will work best or be the most stable on your device and your set up. Even stock roms have bugs. It is just something you live with or dig in and try to fix when you own a smart phone.
Just pay attention to the OP of each thread and so the proper research and you will be fine.

Any better ROMS than Valhalla final?

Do not mean to be disrespectful its a great rom and I have been using it for many months... I'm just asking if there are any stable roms like Valhalla final but ICS and not gingerbread.
if its not too hard please post ur recommendations and explain what's good about that rom.
Thanx a bunch.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

I would recommend trying them out start with cm9 for a few days. I love aokp personally with hefe kernel, there are so many little options to make the phone feel like it's yours. They all have little twists to them and the older more updated ones are more stable. If you haven't felt ics yet your in for a treat.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I like barebones,its completely debloated and has the look and feel of stock gingerbread
I've tried all the other roms and yes with cm9 comes alot of customizations and neat tweaks.....but also they come with alot of bugs.
I miss the fun stuff but love everything working and love the touch wiz.

Nothing ICS that is as bug free as Valhalla final or black edition. The ICS roms are definitely all good enough for daily drivers, but the battery life is inconsistent to say the least and your going to have issues with voodoo sound still being partiality busted if that matters to you. I flash the new CM9 builds and ROM's based off of them when they come out to look for bugs and generally see first hand how the development is progressing but still using Valhalla black as a daily driver for the reasons I mentioned previously
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Since you are in GB and Valhalla is a stock-ish ROM, then I suggest Barebone or if you want some more theme and custonization then go for Valhalla Black either Raver or FB with Anton's Basic with a Twist kernel.
My pick is FB's Valhalla Black, but Barebone is awesome too. I'm just not a fan of stock.
ICS ROMs are all good. I use CM9 and AOKP, they all have bugs and some issues. Development is still ongoing. Yet, once you try it, it would be hard going back to a GB ROM.

the best rom is the one you feel is the best.. Seriously. Its not a omg this is the best rom ever made we all do different things different flavors .

This is BEST Answer. I know BUT I want to know another PROFESSIONAL OPINION as a beginer.

Some of the people that have responded are the developers, and all of the people have tried many (if not all) of the ROMs. In my humble opinion, that is as "professional" as it gets. The best advice here is to try them out and see which, if any, you personally feel drawn towards. You can always go back to the one you like best. Being a beginner can be scary, but read, read, read before you do anything, make backups, and follow the directions. It is very easy once you get into it.
Good luck! Oh, I like the AOKP best, so far, but I haven't tried Raver's ICS ROM yet. That's next on my list.

basically, raver is saying that everyone has their own opinion on what is the best rom. each person wants different things. you can't just ask people which is better. you just have to try out each and decide for yourself. so in other words, don't be lazy by asking people, check em out yourself.

"No" was simply the answer to the ops question. Unless he enjoys random reboots, sub-par battery life and lack of functionality then he should wait for a "final" ICS rom. Last time I checked there wasn't one.
