What's a good ROM? - General Questions and Answers

I need a ROM for my Samsung Exhibit 4G. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Come on people. I know you have some suggestions.

its best to try out a ROM and see what you like...if you don't like it, flash another ROM and give that one a try.

This phone has a amazing battery life as it is, and most ROMs do help battery life. So yeah it does.
have you experianced any issues thus far? with the infused rom
Easiest and quickest way possible to probably install this rom, is Odin flash the refused rom because that has root and modded e3 recovery in it, once in that rom, you can download "rom manager" from the market, flash the Galaxy S i9000 clockwork recovery, download gtg465x infused rom and flash. Done
do i do this all on my phone? or do i need my computer as well ?

Not at all it smother then stock I think, and it uses a black theme witch responds better with Super AMOLED screens. Plus its just cleaner then stock also.

[Q] Can I manually download the INFUSE V2 ROM (since server is down)

I see that the gtx465x server is down (won't let me download the ROM from the Rom Manager).
Is there a way to manually download?
I was thinking of just downloading it and putting it on my SD-Card and than doing the flashing from there (is this even possible)?
Thank's so much

All Infused v2 releases were pulled temporarily by gtg, with the exception of a 2.0.3 test release halfway through the thread which is still available I think. (However it's at this point an unsupported "use at your own risk" release. If you haven't found it on your own it's probably not for you...)
It has always been possible to flash without ROM manager, in fact in my opinion flashing through ROM Manager seemed more likely to fail.
THANK YOU
"All Infused v2 releases were pulled temporarily by gtg"
Why?
Also, since I just got my infuse today, and I have the time, should I try a different ROM (if there are any) that is recommended? I will try anyone that is better than the stock one.
That being said, I am the kind of person who prefers speed (!) above anything else (looks and effects and whatnot)
Thanks again

Well then the Gingerbread ROMs are not for you. The Rogers RIL seems to have data speed issues on the AT&T network. I'm happy with it as I live in the boonies and don't see 4G speeds anyway and probably won't until I'm due for a phone upgrade - I bought the phone for the nice screen.
This issue and poor user attitude are why gtg pulled the ROMs for a while. They are back, but the mods are paying MUCH closer attention to the thread this time.

I keep numerous ROMs on my phone just in case I get bored, but my daily right now is Serendipity 7, it's extremely reliable. Everyone here is going to suggest a different Rom, it's all about personal opinion..
And before flash I clear dalvik cache, cache partition, and wipe factory data, then install your zip
I know its about personal opoinion but I like to see what other peoples are, since I'm new I have no idea what these roms look like. Anyone have a website that shows all of them? I like roms that completely change the look and make it unique.

I wouldn't use Rom Manager unless you are flashing Infused... You need to download the rom zip file and put it on your internal sd and boot into CWM and from there install zip from sd card and find the zip. Check the android development section and read the instructions that each developer gives you. Here is the thread for Dlev.
Alright ill check that out, so do you have a site that previews them? And what are the buttons u have to press to get into recovery?

All Roms are in the Android Development section and find the rom you want to flash, and you need to make sure you have a grasp on how to do everything before you start flashing, you don't wanna brick your phone, cuz thats a whole other ballgame, read read read lol. To boot into CWM just open rom manager and select boot into recovery OR with the phone off hold both volume buttons + power button for about ten seconds.
Every time I try to download one it says " download unseccesful." Why can't I download?

There could be a lot of reasons bro, this thread will not get much attention if it's in the themes apps section, you should probly start a new thread in the Q&A.
I suggest you start here it's your best bet. Then try flashing.
Your first flash should probly be the Infused 1.6 froyo rom until you get a better grasp on things. Its the easiest and most thoroughly instructed rom thread. Infused 1.6
Well right now I'm downloading serendipity 7. Looked amazing. Infused looked boring. Has. Thanks for the info bro.

[Q] HTC One S International Custom ROM??

So I was trying to find a custom ROM for my international HTC One S but my searches only yielded results for the USA version of the device. Anyone pro care to shed some light??

I take it you blind too because those are for the USA version of the device which is running an S4 chip and isn't compatible with the international version of the phone running an S3 chip.
All new HOS's are running S4 afaik. My brand new EU HOS is S4.
There are som other versions in asia, like the SU and SE, but other than that theyre all S4.
What I mean to say is - S4 isnt an "USA version".

Well not the skin parts like menus but you can remove pretty much everything of sense but make sure you have apps to replace them installed first.
