best rom threads aint really allowed on xda.
Anyway u wont go wrong with blackout so yh flash that 1. Niks project x is still under development so stay away from it for now as the phone is ur niece's.

i know there not allowed and trust me im glad there not but needed to get a quickish answer. all the ones i had a quick look though blackout did look the most promising. anyway i will proberly go scanning through that thread for awhile because ive had that on my incedible s before and was the best one i had anyway thank jmcclue

Blackout just got an update + theme aswell and i think its gona be the last so it will be rock solid

As you know, this sort of thread isn't allowed, so closed

Thank you ahmgsk!

Nothing much but just tell you small thanks for your hard work for this community, Since i've got my first htc magic i had no clue how to deal with roms or android at all.
I've found ahmgsk on this forum and just added him to my gtalk and said "oh well, if i've a luck he will approve me" and guess what? he has.
since then he has teached me step by step about roms, about android explained me about radio, roms and helped me with many upgrades/downgrades and saved me from screw up my device as many would in this forum while trying change the radio or what so ever. he NEVER asked me to vote or review him. But after his decent help to me, a person he never knew or got anything from. I want just tell you, thank you for what you are and hopefully see you keeping up your great work at this community!
You are an leader, I'm the follower.
Good luck

+1 i can only agree with that.. to bad that there is some idiots instead of getting a live spending thy're time on frustrating and annoying others.
thx to ahmgsk i have come along way with my sapphire too
and point i would like to mention to people here about ahmgsk. Even he has lost his Magic in the past december. He has still worked hard to bring the Magic owners the great roms, he has exchanged many of his must study hours to create roms and help people all the time.
He is a truely good person with good intentions, when he even lost his own Magic he didnt said "i lost mine, so i dont care of others" he kept working hard and every second he could borrow magic from some one, he used to keep and creating great things for everyone here!
Sorry but have I missed something regarding ahmgsk!? would someone be kind and filling me in what has happened?
i also want to thank ahmgsk for his hard work and great roms
i like his work he is one best in rom dev.but feeis sorry for what happen in his latest rom thread which was unfortunate.
i will request him to continue his great rom devlopment thank u
I'm pretty sure if he left the community on his own accord, he's no longer interested and never will be.
I think we should be standing behind the devs who are still here and truly are dedicated to this forum.
+1
and not the ones who asks for money and quits.
it's a shame.
I agree with all of you, except one or two. He for our did a great job only for our entartainment. You like it or not, this is the truth. It is truth that nobody put him to do that, but at least we can a little respect for his great work. I and probably most of you are waiting for him to come back.
So good luck and come back soon.

please show me where he has stated that he won't be doing any dev job without getting a money/donations?
guys... he deved on friend device... that one he dont have anymore how u whant him to dev without device ? he is a good coder... but its like u cant code on typewriter... anyway he did things because he like not because he needed...
if he had a personal magic he never quit... trust me
Yeah, and a lot of people donated a lot of money for his nee Magic. Do you belive that he didn't get enough money (about 350$ for brand new)?? I belive he gets the money! But now he won't develop for us anymore. It is too sad, because he promise that new version will come at tuesday, then he said on friday, then on sunday and finally - no release for u f****s... OK THANKS for the "no release".
Hope you will spend our money for one good weekend.
In fact it is not so dificultly to make roms by yourself guys. I am making my owns, when i am tired to wait somone to give me a good rom. Maybe i should start to recruit some donations and after 1 month develping will tell you - go away, i am tired? Good idea.... but i am not like the others. If i start to release modified builds, there will be no link for donations.
i agree
any of you actually use ahgmsk roms?
the last one I found usable was his superD port only
rest of them were too incomplete to even work other than tests
:lol: @ This Indian kid running off with your donations after only releasing Beta roms. Only daily rom was Super D, and that was ported.
Really, how hard is it to port a donut rom to NR?
those were not even new radio when he made that port lol (superd ahgmsk port was old radio)
that was before he started his work on porting sense dumps to the NR

yes, I use his SuperHero1.5.
I'm very happy happy with this rom, it is the fastest one (with SenseUI) I ever tried (and I tried many)!
SuperHero2.0 would have been great, but ok, i can stick with SuperHero1.5 until htc releases the offical update.

hey robocik is pretty damn close with his robomix
its pretty premo - some DiS here and there - and ofc usb problem but its almost daily usable
on the otherhand, that is why I have 2 complete up to date donut roms ported which are suitable for daily use, and I was downloading from you LONG before I got frustrated with the roms around here, to have to make my own ports
to all the people that can live with bugs on a rom and use it, im not one of you - sorry
need stable!

Good Job Sensation Devs

Wow Im trying to find a stable rom for my buddies mt4gs and their roms are all terrible maybe because its a laggards phone having that stupid keyboard and all. I love my Sensation and our developers kick ass !!!!!!
There's not much development for that phone at all.
Thankfully the Sensation is a worldwide device and we have dev's from all over the world making roms for us.
Yes the development on the sensation is great when you go to the development already you can find update every single day down there are you use or droid actually now it's called coin droid and it's updated all the time I love since 4 it's much better than all the other senses once people get a little bit more tweaks going for it it'll be perfect so I also thank the devs good job.

Watch your language and attitude when posting on XDA.
Or suffer the consequences...
Having previously been on the MT4GS before this, I can tell you that the phone doesn't suck whatsoever. In fact, with the physical keyboard I actually prefer it to the Sensation. I do like the big screen I must admit, but the MT4GS can do everything this phone can do (and the camera pummels this one). Yes, there's a lack of support for the phone despite having the same hardware as the Sensation, but don't knock their devs. For being so few, they've accomplished quite a bit.
If you want a ROM without sense, try Virtuous Inquisition. That one's as stable as almost anything here, with some nice OC/UV features that enhance battery life. If you want Sense, Virtuous PrimaDonna or Pyr'O'Ice Sensed (I believe they're now the same thing) work just fine for DD's. There are a few bugs, but that's to be expected with almost every ROM that does not have official support. As for GB ROMS, anything on there works pretty well, but people seem to be very fond of Bulletproof.
It is awesome to have all these ROMs to choose from now, but there are still some very good good (albeit few in number) ones for the Doubleshot.
Hurrah for vorbeth

XDA Sensation Developers Rock!!
I have to say that as a pretty new user here, the level of support from both Developers and also senior members is really fantastic. It really blows away other forums I have been part of previously.
I would also agree with the above. Coming from a Blackberry to my Sensation and Android was a big change for me. All of my answers were to be found for getting the device rooted and running a custom rom in no time.

Thanks for following the rules and using search.
check out the HTC HD2(Leo) section of XDA... i think that is the most dev friendly phone of all time
I'm newly registred to this forum but been looking around XDA since a few months back and never registred (really can't say why) and I must say that the atmosphere is great here on XDA, there is alot of support from devs as well as members of the site and I love it and the devs seems to know their thing. See you around the forums!
EDIT: I must agree with shee-b. All my questions already had answers and I as well got S-OFF and a custom rom running from a completly locked Hboot in no-time thanks to all the great guides and of course with a bit of help from the search function
Bad time to have a sensation, Has anyone else noticed the only consistant roms from developers now are ordroid and vorbeths ones? Haven't seen Baaad for a while and his rom says finished,Leedroid hasn't had an update since the One X. Not to seem rude but they seem to have taken the donations for a new device and buggered off :'(

Well, yes, on ine hand it does feel like it. On the other, there isn't much more to do.
I agree with whoever said that Hd2 is the best forum. Members are extremely helpful there.
I'm glad Sensation forum is becoming like that. Tou should have seen it a year ago, it was a right sh****le. Flaming, abuse, name calling.... You name it.

I must agree. I have successfully overcome my fears of rooting. The devs have all done fantastic work, and the guides are great.

Thanks for the Good Times Guys :)

Thanks for all the custom roms and development that's been going on in this forum since the desire S release. I've had my desire S for about 14 months now and I've been following this forum for about a year. Just like to say I'm gonna miss it. I've had great help with my issues and there has been so many fantastic roms. I hope you get the kernel source soon I've just got the One S and I'm selling my desire S so thanks guys. Anyone else making the same move with me any time soon?
Good bye mate I personally wanted a One S, but the one in India has an S3 chip and I wanted the S4. Plus, it's much costlier than I expected, so I'll stick to the Desire S. Enjoy your new phone
Another one bites the dust!
See you around! Enjoy your new device! don't forget to pop into the OFF TOPIC thread and let us know how you are getting on and what you make of your new device.
Jelly .. :3 .. See you around mate!
I'll see you around guys. Cheers for the send off! I may keep glancing back at this forum to try and help a few guys if they have issues

New to LG g2x help please

Hd2 died and had to find a phone, got a g2x! Seems fast and works but I loved having my hd2 rooted and trying different ROMS. I have tried looking at a lot of threads and just can't seem to find anything or anything I can understand. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Well you're a little late to the G2x party, although it might start up again soon.
So g2x is one of the easier phones out there to root/rom.
Read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
And after that you'll be ready to install your Rom, just visit the g2x Android Development forums and look through them til you see one that you like. The CM9/CM10 based ones aren't really ready yet, but they will be soon. So find one that says CM7 and just look through the threads til you find one you like.
I currently have Hellfire Pheonix on myself. It's not the prettiest stock, but you can change the theme.

Similar to the post above, I recommend finding yourself a cm7 based rom currently until the new su660/990 cm10 based stuff starts floating out. I personally run basic cm7.2 with the faux kernel. All of the cm7 based roms are rock solid stable generally, any of the cm10 based roms you see will have various bugs (gps/data-sms/battery drain/video record/etc). The cm10 roms are usable, just not 100% stable at the moment. Once the cm10 port drops which should be fairly soon, you'll be in good shape with just about anything in terms of reliability.

Than you again for help, Hellfire was nice but people are rude there. Looking for another one who are helpful and im willing to donate at some point.
Try mokeeOS. It's what I use coz its very well themed right out of the gate and a daily driver for me. Everything works as other mention coz it is CM7.2. Once the port for cm9/10 is ready, we'll love our phone more.

A word of advice, be like me and just lurk most of the time, people around here aren't here to teach us untalented people the basics. These saints are here to share and discuss with other developers, not baby us. I read an analogy somewhere "XDA-forums are as if developers are older brothers that just let us play with their toys, but they get annoyed by us easily."

Don't consider my answer as a decision. Still you'll have to finalize.
My consideration is that, Samsung users are more similary there are lots of developers too when compared to HTC.
So i hope that would be a better choice, since you say that you used to play with things such as modding, tweaking, and using different roms.
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free

I have a regular HTC One from T-mobile, and I love it. Its fast, good camera performs exceptionally well. The development community is amazing, and this phone is very active among the community. I've unlocked and rooted it as soon as i got it (when it came out like 7-8 months ago) and now theres even easier methods to unlock. By the way, currently HTC has the regular (sence version for all carriers) phone on Android 4.3 with plans to update to 4.4 by Jan and the GPE version is already at 4.4 so thats even better for the modders! Good luck!
