This is my first post and, I am truly sorry if I did not see anything already in General about a Rom Selection.
My first root is going to be a EVO 3D. I have found your page on doing so and it was very useful. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192245)
I just need suggestions on what ROM to take on. I saw that the biggest are the mikG and Viper rom. If my understanding is correct you can get better battery life with Viper? Thats what I am aiming for.
Also once flashed could I go back to the original stock rom, lets say if sprint found out? or my phone broke and I needed to get a new one? I am sure some sort of warranty is not valid.
Also would Windows be the best option to root with or could I just use my iMac?
I greatly appreciate your time and if I am overstepping my bounds then I would be glad if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks much.

This may be better suited for the evo3d section in q and a or general.
However, I could highly recommend both roms though i am not a e3d user. Once you are rooted make a back up. There are RUU'S which will take you back to stock if necessary though it is no longer sprints policy to take action on rooted phones.
I honestly don't keep backups unless I am going to flash something new and had a flawless setup prior. Just have fun and keep a backup of what is working, as in backup as soon as you root. Get titanium backup also, for your apps.
You will most likely flash a lot of roms initially until you find one you love. Or your dev updates every few days. Have fun!
On the platform, I am not familiar with the new exploit but I am sure they support both Mac and pc
P.S give Viperrom a go for me, I am jealous he is over there and I am here... though he left behind a great mod for us evo users.

Much appreciated for the info.
I did not know if I could post in any other section cause I am new.
I think I am going to have to have 10 posts before I can.
Regardless thanks for the information and pointing me in the right direction.
CHEERS.
You only need 10 posts to post in development sections.
You are welcome. If you try out viperrom will you let me know what you think?

I logged on to leave feedback for other flashers and keep getting a bulletin message saying I need 10 posts...... so here I am writing nonsense on threads I am not interested in.
Even 5 posts would be good to eek out the spammers.
Right...... only 4 more random comments to make.
I flash my GF's phone with Gingerbread and after a few roms shes having voicemail notification and low wifi calling volume issues. Ive been told flashing back to Froyo will fix these so ive decided to return the phone back to stock. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this? Maybe an Odin file containing the stock rom? I would like it to have root again but its not a requirement. I can always root it again myself. Main thing at the moment is completely restoring it to how it was from the factory.

You can flash this via ODIN. From there you can use Kies Mini to get back to stock.
If you're just wanting KD1 with root, check out the Bible.
The Bible is a good read; it has a lot of stuff in it.
Unless your gf is giving you too much grief about making her phone meet it's potential... you should update her rom to one of the new official amazing custom GB roms. Any issue she could have has been or is being addressed. You need to read. READ. Search for your issues and read. Don't waste people's time asking questions like this as you will learn more figuring it out on your own.
I had a voicemail notification issue... I read and figured out you need the Visual Voicemail app to have functioning voicemail. Your wifi issue has been discussed thoroughly MANY times. Read and u shall be enlightened with knowledge and can impress her with an amazing phone.
As the last poster said you are on 2.3.3. That was before the devs had the official code. Follow their direction, flash an official rom, read the forum for issues and fixes the rom may have (even stock roms have issues) and give her phone back improved.

Thank you. I will try flashing the WiFi calling listed in that thread first to see if it fixes the low sound problem. My main point was I wanted to restore it back to 100% factory stock for a fresh start.

She does not care about potential, she wants reliability. I dont want anything custom I just want it back to how it was shipped from the factory. I have read plenty. Last time I was here Gingerbread was out for these phones and people were using it with no issues, however that is not the case for me. I was told that the only way to fix those issues were to go back to Froyo so thats all I was asking. Visual voicemail is already installed in the phone but that is not a fix, that is a workaround. I need to fix the issue. I dont even want an official rom that has issues. I want the one it came with when it was shipped so its reliable and functional. If it was my phone I would be all for messing with it but I dont need to be troubleshooting her phone all the time. I am experienced with HTC's not Samsungs, all this Samsung formatted ROM business is confusing to me. All I was asking was a simple "Flash this via Odin to get back to stock" kinda answer, not for someone to tell me to read. It was a simple question that required a simple answer.
Sorry, but that simple question really only required a simple search.
A simple search and a little effort would have brought you to this thread, and solve your dilemma.

I think if you had made the effort to find a fix and actually READ you might understand why I encouraged you to read up on it instead of asking the redundant question that has been answered more than once in the forum. All these lazy questions clog the forum with junk threads that bury all the good information. Think about it that way.

Im pretty sure the Q&A forum is for questions and answers. I did not post a question in the Development thread. Im not too sure how asking how to stock restore a phone will piss any developers. Cant expect everything good to stay on the first page forever. Remember theres a search feature to find anything that will get buried

I know it's an old posting and solved problem, but not for me. I've been receiving normal Voicemail notifications for months - after rooting my phone and removing the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Then, suddenly, 3 days ago, the notification icon simply disappeared. So, sometimes the answers posted here are helpful and correct for many users, but they are certainly not foolproof. Criticizing someone who posts a question and assuming that person did no research toward solving the problem is shortsighted.
Also, I just restored the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app using the free version of Titanium Backup. This did get the notification icon to start working again - at least for one test message left by my wife. Too soon to see if it this fix will last.
My questions are these: why did my Voicemail notification work fine for months - without the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app installed, and what made the icon stop working?

I would like to try my hand at making/porting a ROM, I have experience with Linux/Unix. Is there a resource for learning the ropes of making a ROM?
still waiting for my atrix, but count me in .. I'm quite familiar with linux but never develop any ROMs..
I'd like to try and help.
Hey guys, I just want to re-open this call for help.....
I know that both lfaber06 and I are swamped with day to day stuff as well as things in here, and we also have cogery helping out, and JRW28 has jumped in and done a couple of things as well.
Thanks cogeary and JRW 28 for all the help so far!
We really need some people to jump in and help with ROM development and porting, no experience needed, just the desire to give it a shot, and some time to spare and have fun with it.
I have been unable to work on any ROM building/porting in quite a while, since I am working on some very low level hacks, if you want to know something I am working on, it is the same thing kohlk and a few others are working on, for the razr and bionic. I am not ready to reveal anything yet, because I don't want Moto or AT&T to catch wind and block in the next release. I am getting closer to this, and it is something I have been working on in here since day one, so most of you know, with out me saying anything, what this is.... don't ask in this thread what it is, PM me instead if you must know.
If you want to and are able to help, with ROM building/porting, reply here, and send a PM to lfaber06 and I, and lets hopefully get some more stuff flowing.
Thanks!

I'm willing to be a part of developing for this phone. I do have to admit, while I'm a fair hand at linux, and have the Android SDK set up on both Ubuntu and Windows 7, I have never even begun to try my hand at Android development. I'm familiar with reading code syntax, though I can't actually code, and I know my way around both bash and the windows command line. I am however, gifted with the ability to learn very quickly, and have a lot of time on my hands at the moment, so if there's anyone that can help me along with android development, I'd love to be more of a contributor.
I'm still willing to help in any way I can.

These two ROMs, Superlite and Sky ICS seem to be the best alternatives for moving my Skyrocket to ICS. I'm not going to ask which to install, I know what you will tell me..…try them both.
I'm hoping I can get some opinion as to which is more stable, more likely to install well over my configuration without problems, which is being developed more regularly, which has more known bugs, stuff like that, battery life.
I have a 727R, that's the Rogers Skyrocket, with the latest CWM, the faux kernel, 2.6.35.14, v10m. The radio is i727UCLA3, and the ROM is UCLA3_2.3.6_rom.
I want to install with a ZIP file, without the leaked ICS via ODIN. Not sure if this matters.
So grateful to any advice.

They are both being developed regularly. Read through the threads and you will see development, bugs, and progression.
there are 100's of pages of threads from different periods in their respective developments. It's hard to keep straight what's old and what's current.
I'm looking for help, the same as I would give you if you asked. so please xcrazydx, if you have nothing of value to offer it's better you just don't waste your valuable time replying.
Its easy to try them out yourself. Everyone is different. Flash one, run it for a few days then flash the other.
PS. Don't be a jerk, and just go read for yourself. We don't owe you anything. Quit being lazy!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Not as simple as you think. Over the last 2 weeks since the leak, there has been talk of Rogers not working, or having to install the leak first with Odin and then install a ZIP rom. Also worried about the radio with Rogers, I've heard problems with that.
So I'm nervous, and I'm looking for some help. No, you don't owe me anything. I try to help people here who I don't owe anything. It's just the decent thing to do. It's why we have discussion forums with places for questions. And how is it lazy by asking people to share experiences? Jeez, this place is turning ugly. Try to remember when you were new here.
The whole thing about it is, if you don't do the reading, you will most likely end up writing repeat questions because you didn't feel like doing the reading to fix any little issues you may have with a ROM. Reading first is like getting free experience.

You asked about 2 specific roms. If you don't have the time to read through some posts you shouldn't be here and you shouldn't be flashing anything at all. I help people all the time, but this is something you must do on your own. No reading = you asking stupid questions that have already been answered multiple times.
I gave you a courteous answer and explained they are both worked on regularly by the devs.
Which is not what I asked. Why don't you go away. I can say for certain you've turned me off this forum.
Jeff, I have read both threads completely. I don't understand why I can't ask a simple question here about experience with Rogers phones on these two ROMs coming from Gingerbread just to get confirmation that there are no major issues which were first reported when the leak came out.
And I don't understand why people who don't want to answer, feel they have to come her and criticize.
Didn't even ask about smooth ice by rem... Which i think is super awesome too... The long and short is this, all the roms are built from same base so not really any huge differences
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I can give you my opinion if that would help. I had less problems with sky ics. None are perfect. But both are better than stock.

Hahaha, I tried to help. Without reading the threads of the roms in question one cannot make an educated decision on which one is best for your needs. I even answered one of his questions. I don't get what his problem with me is.
If u want an opinion. Sky ICS. Then remove more Bloat if you want and make it more "super lite" my "opinion" is Sean updates more often and listens what people want. But it is so easy to just flash both and give both roms a try and see what "you" think is better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Both roms are based off the same ics leak so in that regard they are equally stable. Just install the from that has more of the features u want, because from a majority perspective both have been well received
I can't comment on Sky ICS but I've been using Superlite 5.0 for a while now and I'm very satisfied with it. It's very stable and relatively bugless for me. But to repeat what others have said, it's really down to personal preference. Both roms come from the same source, therefore stability wise there isn't going to be a major difference. If it helps, I used both sean and mhx's GB roms, and I preferred the latter, which was a big part of why I went with ICS Superlite in the first place.
Today (10/27) I got notified of an OTA on my Skyrocket, and I haven't heard anything about one. I am running 4.0.4, rooted, with CWMR v5.5.0.4.
I did a nandroid backup, backed up all my apps with TB, and set SuperSU to survival mode. Then I let the OTA download, it installed and then it rebooted - into recovery. I continued the reboot from CWMR and when it finished the boot, the OTA said it was interrupted and couldn't finish. I cannot find a zip file on the phone anywhere to manually flash.
Tried this twice with the same result. What is going on? Where did this OTA come from anyway? What should I do? I think rebooting into recovery is interrupting the process somehow, but I am at a loss as to what to do now.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

It really amazes me how lazy people are these days. They didn't see the other 100 threads before they made 10 more new ones? Come on guys!

So this post could've been left at one reply telling the guy that he can't install and should've looked in general. But no, feeling the need to further stomp the guy into the dirt was at the top of the priority list. If you saw someone already make the point, why not report and move on? Saves a lot more time.

I'm not really lazy, I just don't have all day to hang out on a forum like some other people. I told you that I did a quick search and when I couldn't find an answer, I asked a question - in the Q&A section.
Sorry I'm not an expert in everything and ruined your day by asking a question.
You could have just ignored my post, but I guess you needed to prove how superior you are. I'd looked at some of your posts and a lot are like the one above - no help, lots of ego.
Thanks for the no help. The whole point of this forum is share information and help each other out. Guess you missed that stickie.

In his defense I was able to find an answer to your question on Google fairly quickly, but then again I have no clue what you Googled.
Still, the first reply gave an answer to your question and crazy came in well after that was posted. He didn't have to, yet he went out of his way to make you feel like crap.

OTA Update can not be Done on Rooted phone. Not worth going back to stock for this Little Update. Wait for Jelly Bean....
He didn't make me feel like crap - complete strangers do not do that for me. It's just annoying because posts like that can drive people away.
However, I did feel bad after I realized that there were several other threads on the same topic. I usually make an effort to avoid duplicate posts, but in this case I was in something of a hurry. In any event, I found my answer - I'm not taking the update, it's not worth the effort to go back to stock recovery.
Thanks!

Wrong, this forum is for developers not lazy users who can't operate Google efficiently.
Carry on and have a nice day

It may have started that way years ago, but you should look around. There's lots of plain simple regular users here now, looking for answers.
Peace

There's a good amount of normal people on here. If the site was how you describe it they shouldn't let anyone who isn't a developer join. "U NO MAKE ROMS OR KERNELS U NO WORTHY OF FORUM" is basically what's spewing from your mouth. Have whoever's in charge kick every single member off of the site if they're not a dev since that's the attitude you wanna have.
Otherwise, stop being such a damn bully and stop giving the site a bad rep. He made a mistake and got his answer. You clicked the thread, saw the answer and still decided to pummel him. That's called "being an asshole".

Very cool story. However, the forum is called xda developers and this is a place for developers. Read the rules and ask the moderators what this place is about, and they will tell you the same thing. Also, you have a potty mouth.

The basis of my post was that not everyone on here is a dev, regardless of if the site is called xda developers. Don't throw that up as an excuse to be a jerk because he's not the only non-developer in this forum or on the site.
And stuff like this makes me angry. Like, I could understand if you gave him an answer and then laid into him, but you just flamed him. My apology for swearing.
You wanna talk rules? Try reading section 2.5 under forum & marketplace rules.

I don't like lazy people. This generation is the laziest, most pathetic I've ever seen. You can either make an effort to change it or make it worse. Your choice, man.

That I can get behind. But there's also nothing wrong with a friendly reminder of the rules on researching first. Emphasis on friendly.
