Best rom for T-Mobile Vario?

Quite a few roms ive seen here are taken from some pre-release test build thats then been hacked to work. Not the best way.
Anyone know of the best rom for a T-Mobile Vario, ideally based on an official rom just for cleanness. Thanks

[Q] ICS ROM for Samsung Galaxy S

Hi Forum
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 which is out of warranty. As is known to most, Samsung is most likely not going to come out with an ICS upgrade to this model.
I live in India and travel frequently to the UK, and am therefore looking for a stable ICS ROM that will work on my phone and render the phone usable in India and the UK. I did try with a Cynogen Mod 9 ROM for the i9000 which worked in the UK, but the moment I landed in India, the SIM refused to register with the GSM network in India. My IMEI number also changed when I flashed my phone with this ROM.
Currently, my phone was brought back to a working condition with a Samsung Android 2.1 ROM, but this ROM is really bad and makes my phone freeze frequently.
I am looking forward to some advice from the XDA Forum members to point me to a stable ICS ROM that I can download and flash my phone with, so that the phone works in India.

There are no stable ICS roms for GS2 yet (at least from Cyanogenmod) but they have a gingerbread one (which is better than the 2.1 you have ;P )
Here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxys2
Anyway, I suggest you stay out of ICS until they make a stable ROM. Port only if you can help develop it

Thanks For the reply. However, I am looking for an update for the Galaxy S. I do not have an S2. My Galaxy S has been sparingly used and I think it has at least a year left in it.

Ooooops I'm really sorry about that. here's the link for the stable CM7 build for the Galax S:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
I suggest you use this for the mean time while waiting for the ICS Cyanogen

I would prefer that you use the rom from team icssgs RC4.2 (4.0.3)

I had cyanogen mod 7 installed but was not very happy with it.
So try it out.

Faryaab is also doing a good job. You should check this out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628028

I tried ICS Custom Rom from Darky. It worked fine to my SGS1 without any problem. You can try it.
But I already changed to the latest one Jellybean Custom Rom from C-Rom Bean. I find this better in terms of graphics and Google applications.

D850 w/ T-Mobile sim AOSP KERNEL PANIC LTE

I've been asking around a lot about this and really haven't gotten anywhere. Jist of it is that when using AT&T LG G3 with a T-Mobile sim running AOSP roms i get kernel panics while using LTE. It's fine and dandy with stock based roms. I don't like stock so please don't tell me to do that. Here is a last-kmsg I've pulled after my latest kernel panic. I mainly run Androiduser00110001 cm12. EVERY AOSP rom causes it but I've found when i run his 12.11 build they come far and few. Like once or twice a day. Compared to every time i start using data otherwise. I asked androiduser00110001 what was different about that build but still haven't heard back from him don't plan on it either he's a very busy dev. It's bearable now with this build. If i flash a newer one I'm screwed. I've tried. I've tried every AOSP rom for our device. Please don't tell me to get a T-Mobile variant or get att service please. Some people here have been very dickish about it. Not going to mention any names. I'm just looking to see if anyone can look into the logs i post here. One more thing, this does not happen with att sim. Thank you.

I can't offer you much help, but I can tell you that my D850 unlocked and being used on T-Mobile doesn't have this problem. One issue I encountered with one of the cm12 based roms was it would keep losing the APNs.
I can only suggest doing an Advanced wipe in twrp on everything except your external Sd card and starting from scratch.

[GPS ISSUE] HTC One M8 VZW - & CM12 based ROMs

First of all, this issue isn't just gonna get fixed by flashing a Sense-based ROM, then going back to CM12. This goes deeper than that...it seems to be working fine for guys running the same ROM with TMO and other carriers.
What does anyone know about GPS not being able to communicate with GPS satellites when running most CM12 ROMs with Verizon's 4.4.4 firmware on your M8? Could this be kernel related? Is it that Verizon 4.4.4 firmware (CDMA) is conflicting with something? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

same issue on Sprint m8

I just flased to CM 12 Nightlies and my GPS lost as well. The GPS worked great on stock kit Kat.

That does fix the issue for a lot of people and is recommended across devices when trying to get a GPS lock on an aosp Rom (example: vzw note 2) also, some people have to do it a couple times before it works. If it still isn't working for you you can try a clean flash to stock sense get the lock etc, and then copy gps.conf from /system/etc, restore your bAckup of cm12 and paste it in the same place (back up the original first), set perms to 644, reboot and hope for the best

Just so I said it, I've got the same issue on the sprint version.

Lost GPS
I did as you suggested and tried Skyfire. The gps worked But no service or mobile data (waa waa). I made a copy of the ect/gps file and replaced it once I flashed back CM 12. Un fortunatly that didn't do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Verizon M8 and CM13

Greetings everybody! I just purchased a refurb M8 (stupid duo cam isnt working, but I'm not here for that) and noticed the lack of forums for CM13 support. I had a rezound many many years ago and back then there was a "dont want sense, dont get an HTC" sort of mentality. Is this still true? I want to try CM13 on it and can't find a certain link to a download. Do the nighties on the CM site work for all carrier variants, and generally are there problems on the device? Thanks in advance.

I think the GSM phones work better with CM13. Verizon seems to always be a little difficult. I think CM13 only has one unified build.
CM13 Builds

You can use CM13 on a Verizon M8, but my experience is that you'll lose 4G LTE unless you flash CM13, flash stock recovery, then factory reset. From there you can do whatever (including reflash a custom recovery). I'm currently using a stock ROM because CM13 was too buggy.

Any other major problems? Thanks for the feedback

CM13 user here, just wanted to chime in and say I've had basically 0 issues with it on the VZW M8 over the past several months. 4G works perfectly fine, it's nice and clean, just follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightlies-htc-one-t3256696
Every few weeks someone manages to work a minor bug into the nightlies (that's why they exist), but they are usually patched next day or overcome by simply reverting a day and waiting for a quick fix.
I can neither confirm nor deny the need to flash/revert/reset for 4G because this is something I already needed to do a while back for a completely different GPE ROM, but I didn't have any 4G issues when I switched to CM. I consider it an inevitable step when initially starting down the ROM path. Just back up whatever's important and go for it
