If everything goes well tomorrow night, The stock graphics are crap and hard to work with plus like I said I have a few bugs to work out. Not to mention the unbelievable stomache ache I got from drinkin to much damn wine at thankskiging dinner...

Love that circle battery.h

Looking good
I'm in for a test drive!

The more the better... Does it run on the new Modem and kernel

Ok, dancing android while charging is awesome. If you had the battery percentages in single digits that would be awesome. Also, if the charging animation consisted of like 20-25 PNG's, the dancing would be epic. Imagine the Android doing the robot dance while charging. WANT.

Looks great

It's based on the DK17 but you might have to flash the modem with odin... I'm tryin my best guys with the limited time I have.

WOW impressive. Can not wait to test this out.
Dont work to hard and be careful at walmart stay away from the fat chicks in line!

Did you fix the 1X icon in the theme?

Yeah this looks very promising... any chance of making the rom theme a flashable zip for users who may prefer another ROM?

Hey I completely wiped before flashing and I only get a steady blue droid while charging, he's not dancing or changing colors, is this known to work yet?

Opinions on current jvb ROMS

Ive been hooked on MIUI for the past month and love the ui and ROM but I've been thinking about trying out a new jvb rom. I just want to know what peoples thoughts are on perception 2, gr-x, and continuum v5. That being said I know there is no best rom. I am just asking what everyone's favorite aspects/features are of each rom. And please don't say to flash them and find what works for me. I wont be able to flash for a week and have and opinion formulated.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

Read the features of each and decide for yourself. They are all fast and smooth.
So your choice comes down to which dev you like most basically!
Samsung Galaxy S i896 on Cezar's Continuum v5 GingerBread

gr-11 is fast beautiful and polishd but support for flac and maybe other codecs is missing, still trying to isolate the missing files. perception is very quick but the talon kernel breaks my gps. this is not typical. then there is c5 which is great all around but gr-11 has much cleaner and better looking implimentation of tw4. then there is subpression, i havent tried the v2 if this yet but it is very light and my sd card wouldnt mount to linux when i tried it. subpression also has touchwiz4 but on v1 which i tried it was that one with the ugly glass bubble icon and very slow.

At the moment I'm on GR-11. Great battery life, really stable.
It really depends on what you're looking for in a rom, though. MIUI and CM7 are going to give you a really custom experience, obviously. GR-X is going a fairly vanilla experience relatively.

ya i've only heard good stuff about gr-11, even DG has said its the best jvb rom out there. and i completely agree about miui and cm7. ive been on both and they're great but i can only stay on one rom for so long before wanting to test something else out.
not sure if we can but it would be sick if we could combine some of continuum's themes with gr-11. from what ive seen theyre sick.
and what to you guys think of tw 4.0? i find it kinda weird that everyone is so interested in it when almost everyone hated tw 3. maybe its just the latest and greatest and will pass over eventually

i like the stock implimentation of tw4. i also like tw3 so take that for what it is. the themed tw4 that is floating around is too slow and the icons dont match and features dont work. in gr11 tw4 (that's the stock one) is great, good looking and no slower than tw3 with the addition of support folders in the app drawer and easier editing with a way to pull icons into a blank page @ the bottom of the screen. also it has a widget picker similar to the way miui is implimented.

Im on Continuum and Im loving it. Im gonna wait another day or two for Phoenix to release something before trying Perception though

Just installed GR-11 and I gotta say I'm impressed. I know Quadrant scores don't mean much but check out the cpu score. This is on xcal kernel (the one that comes with GR) on RFS

[WIP] Triumph Rom

So ive decided to start deving my own bit of droidness this is a WIP rom and am building using ACS's build of the ec05 once aosp is released officially i will be switching over to that but until then I will get started here.
There has been a slight change i will be building based off of official Samsung release of the ec05 build from scratch I will be including the 6 mod lock screen as well as some other various changes which will be disclosed upon release in the changelog.
I would like to give thanks to pfftmedic for the help along the way here as well as chevycam over on droidforums as for he got me in to deving for aosp back on the og droid without him id be lost and wouldnt be doing this now.
I will be posting further as my work progresses and letting all know who are interested the updates of my success.
Slight delay - there will be a delay in the release i was shooting for this week but maybe a bit longer I dont want to just put out trash so I really want my first release to be something worthwhile and to build on.
Wanted to show all who are anticipating some of my custom work here is the def background that will be included in rom

Yea its been something I have wanted to do for quite a while now and started to back in the day but due to personal situations and having to move life got off track so finally getting things put back together I need a distraction from the norm.

Good luck man. Wish you the best. BTW second!!!

Building a ROM is too much for myself, glad there's more devs out there. For now, my goal is just to finish completing my themes. haha

Good luck sir! i'll be happy to support you!! and by the way rjmjr didn't do anything for SRF ROMs. credit goes to k0nane and the kernel developer, tatnime (idk how to spell it ><)
He (jmr) barely knows how to flash a ROM on his own epic.

yea
Thank you all I had gotten in to themeing on the og droid for a minute was working on a really nice looking red white and blue patriot theme for droid but never got to finish it had everything done though far as the framework res and such just needed to go in theme all of the standard apps and keyboard but phone was done dialer etc was clean.Wish i had some screenies to show but i reformatted and didnt think to back those up since i was no longer using them but they would have come in handy now lol oh well just about done getting everything situated on the comp got the build.prop finshed up and the updater script for the rom just need to work out the framework-res and apps themeing wont be heavily themed however as I want users to be able to customize to there liking and not mine but I promise when aosp comes out it will be very nice as i already have a good foothold in modding for og droid froyo.

test
this is a test post

test
Voila Got it finally siggy is up and will post a d/l link once rom is uploaded.

So many ROM's.... Which one?

After work tonight I'm gonna dive in and unlock my HOX bootloader and dive in to some new ROM's. I see there are now a multitude of choices here, and I am wondering if I could get some feedback regarding which ones are viewed best. Fast, clean, best battery life, customizability... so many criteria I'm a bit confused. Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated.

This should be in Q&A but try clean ROM it's the best in my opinion.....now prepare to be flamed...

The second I clicked "post" I realized I put this in the wrong forum. I am SO sorry. I don't know how to move it. I hope the Mods move it for me. I don't want to be flamed! I'm really sorry.

FLAME!
i'm sure the mods will move this at some point.
personally, i like clean rom DE, sense is pretty, but it's such a huge resource hog still, aosp ICS is so much lighter on ram, even in its faux aosp iteration on our phones.

Duuude, you're sooo stooopid.
Just kidding.
Its not that hard. If you intend to flash the "typical" way using CWM, and not mess with desktop installers then that excludes Magnolia and Sirius (these were released before the bootloader was unlocked) . At least until they are updated to flash via CWM.
There is a stock deodexed 1.85 ROM, and a 1.88 ROM. But as the names tell you, they are just stock ROMs, just deodexed. Good if you want a base to do other mods (which often require deodex) but that's about it. And 1.88 is based on an Asian ROM, and it breaks AT&T LTE.
What you have left is only 3 custom ROMs. CleanROM DE has an AOSP look, if you are looking for that. If you like Sense, pick CleanROM or Nocturnal. CleanROM is somewhat close to stock, but with performance tweaks and other mods, and de-bloated. Nocturnal looks to have lots of customization options when you flash thanks to AROMA. I haven't personally tried Nocturnal. But I've used ROMs on a previous phone that utilize AROMA, and its very slick.
If you want to see the current ROMs listed in an organized fashion, have a look at my index thread (shameless self promotion):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
That's all there is to it, at least for now. Hopefully we'll have a lot more to choose from soon! That's one first world problem I would like to have . . .

Can't go wrong with cleanrom, I've been using his roms on a few phones, I love it.

Wrong section

For me I came to the HOX from my GNex so my assumption was I was going to want to get closer to AOSP / CM9 as soon as possible.
I was surprised to really enjoy a few different tweaks to Sense that HTC has done like the lock screen shortcuts which I use constantly.
For me I have been sticking with CleanROM since the 2.0 version. It has been very very stable and the little tweaks available by default are really everything I want.

I'm really enjoying CleanROM DE. Smooth and ASOP elements are sexy.

Clean ROM for me as well, been using it ever since it was first released.

[Q] Why flash custom ROM on SK4G?

First, I am very new at rooting and customizing Android and appreciate any help understanding. Please don't take my questions wrong, the screenshots on these ROMS look amazing and I know more than a few tons of hours went into developing and testing, it really is that I am not comprehending the differences I'm finding.
Thanks to the help of the great tutorials here, my SK4G is now successfully rooted! I've been looking at ROMS now for a very long time and found I am really leaning towards Glorious Overdose v5 or neXus JB.
What I'm wondering though, is why would I go through the trouble and risk of flashing if it is essentially still running froyo? Since it's rooted, could I simply uninstall the junkware and use Holo or ADW for a similar effect and virtually no risk? Of course I do see the difference in the kernal version, but as I said I am new to this and it's just my guess that kernal is even a big difference maker.
I am very obviously missing something here, and though I am searching I'm not quite finding what it is I'm not understanding. Otherwise as the video stated when I signed up... I'm a noob...

Thanks for pointing out Overdose is buggy, I have that and nexus JB downloaded so perhaps I'll go with JB. Admittedly I'm a bit nervous to take that next step and flash. If I brick I have no backup phone, but it looks like the instructions here on this website are pretty clear and easy to follow. Plus, I'm a risk taker lol!

There are many reasons to flash a custom ROM, in addition to what Immortality said: you can flash one that looks and feels more like GingerBread, IceCreamSandwich, JellyBean, etc. You can pick one that isn't so bloated (although once you're rooted, you can pretty easily remove the bloat). I've tried a few, and here are my notes:
GOV33+LEAN-PERFORMANCE-RELEASE - Started out good, but over time SU stopped working, battery life degraded. Liked LauncherPro. Maybe it just needs to be reinstalled
neXus_JB_v1.2 - Colors hard to read (white on gray). Seems like too many unnecessary apps (live wallpapers, etc).
MeMoRy - Based on GOV3.3 Lean. Uses Lightning Launcher, which I didn't like at first, but it's very simple and presumably lightweight. However, the supplied Jelly Bean keyboard keeps crashing. I installed the ICS keyboard and removed the JB keyboard, and this is now the ROM I use.
Windxixi just posted about a new ROM that he says is based on GB and works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42562471#post42562471. Might be worth following.

But I still wouldn't use it if this is your only phone. Keyboard does not work so you are stranded with a virtual keyboard. Battery life does not seem to be all that great. No buttons work on the actual phone except the power button, trackpad button, and the volume down button. The gyroscope does not work and I have not even set up my SIM on this so I don't know how it works with actual use.
