[Q] Which rom should I use?

Okay I'm pretty new to Android and rooting and all that stuff, so I'm kind of confused by everything. I rooted my Inspire with Bubby's one-click method (except I don't understand why it's called "one-click" because it took me like two hours and wasn't one click...) and I'd like to install a custom rom now, but I have no clue what to be looking for...Are there any Honeycomb roms for the Inspire yet? Can anybody recommend something good for me? Also a video or detailed instructions on how to flash it would be helpful. (I watched a video on how to root with Bubby's thing)

Moved to General. Please refrain from asking questions in development forums.

:O sorry, I knew it seemed odd that there were no questions in there...I guess I should have looked into it more, haha. Thanks for moving it.

IM using CoreDroid 5.0 and its really good. I recommend it.

What does it have? Like what android version and what version of sense? Also where can I get it?

Yeah, prolly be a good idea if you've never flashed before to stick with one of the stock based roms to begin with...probably without even an overclocking kernel in it.
Get the basics down before you go after the more elaborate ROMs.
1. Go to Market
2. Download ROM Manager
3. install it
4. Open it and click "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery" allow root permission
5. will say "confirm model" (though it only gives you htc Desire as option)
6. Click that and allow it to flash - will say "success" when complete
7. Click on "back up current ROM"
8. It will then boot you into clockworkmod recovery and do a back up
9. Once complete...Reboot
10. download a custom ROM (From phone browser or pc)
11. place into root of sdcard
12. on your phone click on ROM Manager
13. click reboot into recovery - click ok
- wait for recovery menu to load up. -
14. (depending on ROM - you may need to click "wipe data/factory reset" then "wipe cache partition" its always not a bad idea anyway...'specially if your coming from different ROM builds. To keep your apps and data, download Titanium Back up from market and back up your user apps and data, like account info and email data. That way you don't have to re-enter all that stuff each time you flash to different ROM)
15. click "install zip from sdcard"
16. then "choose zip from sdcard"
17. scroll to downloaded ROM .zip - choose it
18. goto "Yes- install (name of .zip)" choose it
Then let it do its thing...once its completed installing...choose go back and then Reboot system.
depending on ROM it might take a few minutes to load..but I say no more than 5 minutes. Once rebooted, skip all the account stuff, goto market, download Titanium Backup (if not already in flashed ROM) and restore your stuff.
That's the most basic way...get used to doing that...then move onto more crazy ROM's where you gotta flash 3 or 4 or more patches.
enjoy your new ROM.

i think it would be better to get a general idea of how each rom runs on the phone...then narrow down your choices from that and by which particular options or themes and such. everyone is going to have an opinion on which rom is the best...
Coming from the captivate section though....i think it would be nice to have a breakdown of known problems from each rom base. For example, which roms are known to need a sound fix, or which ones are known to cause battery drain, etc etc.
From what i have read, the desire hd based roms need the sound fix, but what are the other problems with using it? What are the problems/reasons more people aren't using the Inspire rom as a base? Are the gingerbread leak based roms for the DHD and have the same problems? What are the known issues with CM7 so far?

Just for the fun of it, you should try MIUI. The instructions on the thread are clear and easy, and it's a different experience than the rest of the others. I don't know why more people aren't trying it, it's really smooth and damn fast. If you want to stick with the regular ROMs, dilligafs ROM is a great piece of work.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G MIUI using XDA Premium App

My personal experience is cm7 is great. I'm currently running the latest nightly and have had 0 issues with it. I've tried other roms such as the sense based ones but i just can't stay for some reason. I tried MIUI as well but it's just not for me. I'm a fan of vanilla android so cm7 seem's the one to be the closest that i can get to it, atm anyways.
But you should try multiple roms and decided which one you perfer the best.

But do I have to lose all my stuff everytime I try a new ROM? I lost all but like 10 contacts when I rooted and I lost all my apps...I thought the apps stayed in my Market Account, but nope. I was wrong.
Okay so in ROM Manager, when I go to "Download ROM" there's a Core Droid ROM, but there are two. Which one do I use? One is 4.8 and the other is 4.9, but the 4.9 one says "patch" in the description so idk if I'm supposed to install both, or what?

you'll have to read that thread under the Inspire 4G Android Development and ask over there...I'm not familiar enough nor have I tried that one yet. Or I may have...I can't remember. The Ingersoll ROM and the dilligaf ROM are the only 2 oc Roms I've flashed and had no problems with when installed. But I'm looking for speed and performance over bells and whistles.
I would read and download from the threads rather than Rom manager.
Yes you will prolly lose stuff when you flash different ROMs. That's why I also suggested you should get familiar with titanium back up...it was made for stuff like this...and guys like us

Use titanium backup to back up your apps and app settings. Use google contacts to backup your contacts.
Instead of downloading the rom in RomManager, you can download it from the threads in the dev section, transfer it to the SD card, and then flash it with Clockwork Recovery.

okay I'm having a problem now. I tried to boot into recovery to do a Nandroid backup, and I installed an app called Quick Boot that has a button to boot into recovery, so I did it, but it just came up with a blank screen. The screen wasn't off though, it was just blank. I tried to look it up and somebody said hold down power, volume up, and home, and I did it, it vibrated a couple times, then the screen went off. Now the LED is just flashing...I have no clue what to do now...Can somebody help?

Help me load a custom rom

Hey XDA team!
Here is what I have done so far:
1 click root and removed the fota files,
installed the Recivery: CWM Final
followed a youtube video to upgrade to 2.3.5 with odin
followed a youtube video to upgrade to 2.3.5 with voodoo lag fix with odin,
my goal is to get this on the phone:
{rom}Cwm-GB-2.3.6-Octane-V3.0 XPLOD NO CIQ EDITION 12-10-11
I have worked with other android phones so I figured I just load this through the recovery, so what I did was try to change the mounts to UMMU, however I was unable to unmount system, kept getting the error.
Regardless I still went to install zip from sd and installed the rom.
I did factory reset, clear cache and davlik cache, after first boot I went back, disabled lagfix, installed busybox, and enabled lagfix again (or vice versa)
My phone says it is now 2.3.6 but looks nothing like the screenshots in the rom, and although I am scoring high quadrant scores (up to 2000) it is still not as high as the rom states.
Please help me figure this out
Thank you!

I think the screenshots on the OP for that ROM are themed. Version 3.0 says "version lite no theme just modified lib's etc". Maybe try one of the earlier versions?

Have I done everything right up until this point? And is the system unmount going to be an issue

It sounds like you're OK. Though I'm not sure what you flashed when watching the YouTube videos.
If you're trying to get to 2.3.6 then have Octane running on it:
Go back into CWM & disable voodoo lagfix on everything
Download RaverX3X's ODIN 2.3.6 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176
- Put it in the PDA section of ODIN and flash it
Factory data reset/wipe the caches
Download drhonk's ODIN flashable KJ1 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032
- Put it in the PDA section of ODIN and flash it
- Let it boot up; if voodoo lagfix enabled itself go back into CWM and disable it to be safe.
Download bhundven's "Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380331 to your SD card
- Flash it via CWM
Download Octane from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305145 onto your SD card
- Reboot into recovery and flash it per Raver's instructions on the link
As for the system mounting issue it's a known bug/issue with Gingerbread and the version of CWM prior to the version in bhundven's "Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix"

Wow thank you! That was very detailed! Judging by your inductions I missed a few steps. Also it looks like there is not much of a selection when it comes to roms, have I made a good choice with the rom I want out should I go for something else

There are a few different methods to get things done; I just laid out the way I would do it There are a few ROMs and everyone has their own opinion of them. I'm currently on RaverX3X's stock 2.3.6 with Bhundven's Subtly Modified Stock kernel. Some folks rave about Ocatne (no pun intended), some love Valhalla Final, others love Airfluip's AOSP style ROM. My advice is to try them out & find which you prefer.
Best of luck; let me know how it turns out.

Once I install my rom by following your directions, to try out different roms would I just install the rom through recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, or are there extra steps that I will have to do for every different rom?

Each ROM is different. Some flash via ODIN/Heimdall, some via CWM. You'd have to follow the instructions for each ROM. If, after flashing a ROM, you have weird issues do a cache wipe & factory reset. That usually will clear out any demons

You are a hell of a nice guy stephen taking time to answer these redundant questions. It amazes me how many people need their hand held and ask others for their time when all the answers they need for most issues (especially flashing roms) are posted multiple times in the forum.

Yes thank you for being a good person. I currently own the hd2 the mytouch 3g the moto xoom the g2 and the galaxy s 4g, all of the phones are rooted with little difficulty by reading the articles here on xda but when it came to the samsung everything was different. The file types and the steps involved were completely different from anything I have done with my other devices and the articles were either hard to follow or referred to other articles.
Once again I want to thank you for explaining this in an easy to understand manner and giving me all the information needed to accomplish my goal.

CWM for root. Quickie.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the help with my previous question. Now that I got that fixed, I have another question regarding Titanium Backup Pro and Clock Work Mod for the galaxy S 4G. I downloaded the key for the Titan. Backup to make it Pro. I installed Titan. backup fine no problem. Them when I try to install the key that would make it Pro, a popup came up that said: "Titan. Backup Pro cannot be installed. Free up some space and try again." Well I searched around and found that I should clear the dalvik cache using Clock Work Mod.
My question is how would I install Clock Work Mod on my device and How would I go about clearing the davlik cache using Clock Work Mod?
Are there going to be problem after clearing the davlik cache? And if further on along the line, I want to flash ROM's, should I clear my davlik cache every time just to be safe?
Thank you for the help if you guys/gals can help out.

First off are you running a custom rom? Or are you running stock?
Is your phone rooted?

I am running stock ROM Froyo. Yes, it is rooted.

I'll have to leave it to somebody else to help. so long since I've run froyo... That I wouldn't know were to start lol... plus at the moment I am driving

Use the guide in the second link of my signature to put yourself on Gingerbread - flash with bootloaders - then post back when finished.

Do we have clockwork recovery kernels for froyo?

I was wondering about flashing a ROM like the ICS port, the AOKP one. But I figured that it would be a lot safer if I had a backup of all my data first so I decided to get Titan. Backup. to do the job. and that was what landed me where I am right now.
Any help would be appreciated.

In case you are unaware, you cannot use the guide in the first post as Kies mini will not recognize rooted phones.

To be honest I wouldn't worry about all that if you end up going with gingerbread or ice cream sandwich just go for it

Ah, the thing is I'm also interested in Titan.'s other feature's like freezing apps and stuff like that. Add to that the fact that I bought the app already that would make the regular version turn into the Pro version.

My bad Lumin,i actually was unaware. Think this would work, right lumin?

If you have bought titanium backup pro you should have gotten a file emailed to you that you put on your sdcard. Once its there just run regular TiB as its the same but the license will unlock other features.
As for keeping data across the different os's I personally dont recommend saving anything but non system apps. If you want to save texts use sms backup and restore from the play store. Otherwise start fresh that way you dont introduce new bugs into the phone.

Gremlin Remover or Heimdall KJ6 One-Click. The reason is they will both flash bootloaders for you. I referred the OP to the Heimdall One-Click guide because of the more detailed directions and pictures.

So I should just flash a ROM like GB or the AOKP Team Acid ROM anyway right and forget about Froyo? Then install Clock Work Mod on my device or does Clock Work Mod come with the ROM's themselves? If I flash a new ROM, will my dalvik cache be cleared so that I would have enough space to install things? How would I be able to save my contacts, just save them to my SIM card and they should be fine right? Would flashing a new ROM take up my phones internal memory?

You need to flash a gb rom with bootloaders if you are on froyo. Otherwise you will be back upset your phone is broke.
A custom recovery is included in all roms. Once you flash part of the instructions are to factory reset/ data wipe in recovery.
Back you contacts up to the sdcard if you dont use google contacts otherwise you wont be able to access them from the ICS variants.
Yes like I stated when installing a new rom part of it is doing a factory reset/data wipe.

If you really do want to stay on Froyo and you want CWM... then this should work for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
But yeah, you should definitely consider upgrading to Gingerbread asap, *especially* if you're wanting to flash custom ROMs later on down the line. Use the Heimdall One-Click sticked in the development forum.

Eollie i bought tb pro and all that's done is it applies as an app nothing different than when you get tb originally from the market

Lol if you do gremlin remover one click you don't have to make an extra step of flashing a cwr kernel.
As I'm aware heimdall doesn't do it

You soft bricked your phone because you are using 4.0.4 as the device now ships with ICS- k0nane's root kernel won't work for ICS. That root method only works for GB. You need to put CWM on your phone to root ICS (flash superuser or supersu zip through CWM). Also once you have CWM on your phone you can flash any ROM -stock or otherwise- to your phone through CWM. The link with the other person having the same issue was resolved...

GOD DAMN, THANK YOU,its so overwhelming though ;/
unfortunately, i am one of those people who literally need step my step instructions and im not too sure you would like to help me through this long process. i have no idea where to start and do i just ignore the google framework error and try to "ROOT" again?
I am very sorry for being such an inconvenience

update: I did all of these steps:
((((((((((((((After downloading all the files first move the Superuser.zip to the root of your sdcard..not internal sdcard but the removable one. Then unzip the Odin zip and once unzipped:
Step 1:
Run Odin 1.85.exe, and prepare Odin:
Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.
Click PDA and select the TAR for clockworkdmod you downloaded. Click PIT and select the Blaze PIT your downloaded.
DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE REPARTITION UNCHECKED
Step 2:
Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
Remove the battery.
Reinsert the battery.
Hold down Volume Up + Volume Down
Then while holding the voume keys plug in USB cable
You should now be in Download Mode
Step 3:
Make Sure repartition is still unchecked and click START in Odin.))))))))))))))
note* for the superuser.zip, i just downloaded the file and dragged it into my microsd, is that right???
-WHEN i am done with these steps, i get back to the "Welcome to SGH-T769, TOUCH THE ANDROID TO BEGIN" but whenever i touch the android, it gives me the same error "GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK HAS STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY" again, IS THIS SUPPOSE to happen?

Run Odin 1.85.exe, and prepare Odin:
Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.
Click PDA and select the TAR for clockworkdmod you downloaded. Click PIT and select the Blaze PIT your downloaded.
DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE REPARTITION UNCHECKED
Step 2:
Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
Remove the battery.
Reinsert the battery.
Hold down Volume Up + Volume Down
Then while holding the voume keys plug in USB cable
You should now be in Download Mode
Step 3:
Make Sure repartition is still unchecked and click START in Odin.))))))))))))))
note* for the superuser.zip, i just downloaded the file and dragged it into my microsd, is that right???
-WHEN i am done with these steps, i get back to the "Welcome to SGH-T769, TOUCH THE ANDROID TO BEGIN" but whenever i touch the android, it gives me the same error "GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK HAS STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY" again, IS THIS SUPPOSE to happen?
i am extremely confused

Try to boot cwm and factory reset to clear up framework issue. Edit: wipe davlik also (located in advanced) .Yes putting SU zip on your sd card is right. You will need to 'install from SD card' and then choose zip to install to flash su for root. If framework continues to be an issue after factory reset then I would suggest flashing a custom ROM (same flashing process as root normally - read ROM op first!). There are quite a few stock based ROMs that are great. Or you could go straight to JB/cm10. Up to you.. there's so many great ROMs for this device!

Check for superuser or supersu in your app drawer. If either is there (I don't know which one you decided to use) then you are rooted.:good:

wow, thanks a lot, yes I have superuser when I open my apps. This is really more difficult then jailbreaking =p but I would like to ask, what I have to do to get "roms" or "kernels" and "apps" after my device is rooted?
Will changing roms mean I have to re_root?
sorry for having these silly questions but after resolving my problems and hrs of frustration, IM rly beginning to like this phone thanks again in advance
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app

After flashing a new ROM , just set phone up as usual when it boots up... then just enjoy having a kicka$$ phone no need to re-root.. just read installation of ROM good write it down if you must I did when I first started. Look and shop around there's plenty of great ROMs for this phone

Actually, depending upon what time frame you rooted the idont device, rooting this phone with CWM is SIGNIFICANTLY easier than jailbreaking. Your problems of course, started because you didn't come here in the first place. Had you done that, it would have been a breeze.
As for your question about changing roms and will you have to re-root?
Don't look at it that way...If you want to switch to another rom that is applied through CWM, you're pretty much doing the same process you did when you came here, you're just only selecting the other rom through CWM. Don't forget to reset/wipe through CWM first though!

is that not extremely tedious, i thought titanium backup only backs up like game data or soemthing.
is there anyway i could backup the apps that i already downloaded through apptoide and google play?
and also i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228 to root my phone, does that mean i can only download ics 4.0.4 roms and kernels? (do i download roms and kernels serperately?)
ive heard that jelly bean is the lastest and fastest one, is there anyway for me to get this and what rom would u recommend?

if your rooted on ICS u can flash anything in cwm. For a daily driver I use cm 10, bug free. There's also slim bean, aokp, pacman, paranoid android.
Whatever you choose create a backup first in cwm, than flash ROM, than gapps, than factory reset/wipe cache/ in advanced wipe delvik. Reboot and give it time to boot. I would also recommend a launched such as nova or holo. They will allow u to backup your home screen and drawer preferances , and hide apps. Google can automatically redownload all your apps minus any save data. Tb can be a pain when switching roms, not all apps will work coming from ICS to jelly bean. Make sure and be safe, go ahead and write down all your contacts before flashing. I've flashed jb on three different phones and lost the contacts each time. After the initial flash of jb , flashing updates and such you won't lose any contacts as long as they are synced with Google. Happy flashing

what link from the bible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574556 )would i have to use to get cm 10 jellybean
what do you mean by not all apps will work coming from ics to jellybean?i've made up my mind to get jelly bean but im still confused at how i would backup the apps i downloaded from "apptoide" and "google play"
whats a gapp?

if your rooted you grab the zip from here http://get.cm/?device=t769 , now you need the gapps or known as your Google app pack you can find those in the blaze bible. Once both are downloaded, reboot into cwm. Now flash the cm 10 zip ( go for the newest one the stable is quite old and missing some features) once it completes flash the gapps zip. Now do a factory reset, now wipe cache, last wipe delvik. Once you've done these steps reboot your phone. Now be patient and wait. It can take in some cases 10 mins to completely boot. If everything was done correctly you will be greeted with a setup prompt. Enjoy
Apps from Google play are listed in my apps. Check your apps play page to see what version of android they are compatible with
Oh yeah your ROM has your kernel included. The kernels listed in the dev section are for over clocking and under voltage and are for people who've done this before. Besides I don't use them, not necessary.

[Q] Upgrade CyanogenMod 10.1 with goo.im not working

Hello Everyone,
Im new to this forum as a poster, I do have read quite a few tutorials on here on how to unlock/root/s-off my device but now Im stuck again and can't seem to find a solution.
I have a HTC Sensation Z710e and I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1-20130309-Albinoman887-pyramid. Now whenever I watch a movie I there are no troubles BUT when I scroll in the movie or pause it or whatever I get an error. I looked it up and found out my version is an unstable one. So a friend of mine explained to me I could update via Goo.im, and here's the problem. It says there are no updates for my device even though that friend of mine updated to 10.1-20130601-Albinoman887-pyramid in the same way.
I did get a message like 2 weeks ago there was an update available for my device but when I clicked the notice nothing happened.
Now my biggest question is, is there some way I can download an update zip in stead of the 10.1-20130601-Albinoman887-pyramid Rom and have to start all over again with all my apps, or am I just ****ed and need to start backupping what I want to backup and start over again?
Thx for any and all insights,
Marius

well if the rom is just an update from the same rom, get it from another repo (download it from your phone or pc) and flash it with TWRP/CWM
It should work, I've done many rom upgrades without wiping my system.

So you're saying I should just "install from sdcard" with my 4EXT and it will not wipe all my settings? Even though its a completely "new" ROM but just an update of the one I have right now? I dont have to invoke something like "update"?
I did already download the file with Goo.im (that did work ) and it was about 157mb, that gives me the feeling its a completely new ROM, that's why Im a bit hesitant
Thx for the info though

MariusJP is right, there's no need for a wipe when you are flashing an update, but it may depend from ROM to ROM and from update to update. Just flash it and look for problems. If there are problems you'll have to wipe.
You should do a Backup via CWM before flashing any new software especially when it's not a stable one.
Flashing this update won't wipe your settings and data.
