All of them. See what you like and don't like.

Then report your post and ask a mod to close it.
Then head over to the dev section and start flashing. You'll find something you really like.

I installed this rom ( LINK UP[ROM][CWM] updated 12/23/2011 | AOSP Style 2.1 | KJ6} ) and got into lots of bugs so I'm gonna share it here what I did to fix it
1. Root was not working properly can't get permission from superuser
FIX: (I have to root the phone again with superoneclick 1.6.5 is the only one working for me)
2. SU binary won't update missing md5 blablabla cannot remember what it was
FIX: (I installed busybox to fix the missing file)
3. Android Keyboard force close error (the application android keyboard process com.android.inputmethod.latin)
FIX: (I look for gingerbread keyboard and flashed it)
You should post in the rom's thread so that the author takes notice.
EDIT
Just noticed you don't have enough posts to post in the dev section yet.
Try PM'ing him a link to this thread I guess.
Have you tried a data wipe and then reflashing? I was on that rom with no issues

Yeah, I had no problems with this ROM either... It's great, actually.
Rather than creating a thread saying that this person's ROM creates problems, PM is the best choice. Especially if you've read through the ROM thread and did not see a bunch of complaints.

jeeze, how many times do I have to tell people that I am working on a massive update. The android keyboard fc is a problem with Valhalla final. Also the root isn't an issue. Plus all users should flash the beta 2d kernel.

Maybe you should post this info in the OP of your development thread so you don't have to keep telling people. it first look like you ever update it and I wouldn't expect many folks around here to read the entire thread even though they should. maybe you should Post a section about other suggestions such as update to the new kernel and that the keyboard fc is a known issue. Btw, in observation, it looks like you might be starting to understand why people ask you to keep quiet about cm variations un less you have some development to offer

maybe its just me. I wasn't able to post a reply on that dev thread because I don't have enough post so I just make a new one and maybe can help other new user too having same issue.
I'm not saying that its the dev I just wanna share it to other users that might have same problem
I was on KD1 rom and reset my phone to factory settings delete cache in cwm and installed the rom. that what I did. and for the android keyboard I was gonna post the link for android keyboard here where I got it but it won't let me

Being on froyo and flashing a GB ROM may have been the "root" of your problems. Try my upgrade guide then re flash the ROM and give us an update

so far im not getting any issue going on right now after the fix I did.
I also have some question I have a Samsung Vibrant (T959) which has Bionix V based on froyo I believe and I really like it so I just wanna know if there's a rom like that for Galaxy S 4G? I've tried to flashed the bionix frost but I didn't like the custom theme running on proluncher and I don't like apps running in the background I like my phone on stock theme
EDIT: I didn't like the music player that comes on this AOSP syle rom I like the one that comes with the bionic V that I have on my Vibrant and I tried to install that music player apk I took from my vibrant to my galaxy s 4g but Im getting force close error is there a way to make it work?
use anything you want. Also, can people stop making a complain thread and close it.

lol yeah that what I need I'm just a new guy here and trying to learn everything slowly
Hi, dont know if this has been asked before, but it's there a way to somehow install another kernel (maybe overclocked) instead of the current kernel? And I like the HTC camera present in Sense ROMs instead of the camera in MIUI (my current ROM) or in Cyanogen ROMs. Can I install the HTC camera over my current one?

First of this should be in the Q & A section and the search function isn't broken but here is a kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078049
Just flash it in recovery like a ROM. Be sure to wipe cache and salvia prior to flashing.

Yes just look for compatible kernel for your rom and flash, backup first.
Oh and get ready to get flammed! Wrong section!

All these questions being asked in the developement section is getting old.

The search button is yours and everyones friend. I can say never once did I started a new thread asking a question that's already been asked. Actually the only thread I've ever started was one thanking the devs and the people making guides on how to do anything with this phone. This is my 1st android and I've flashed a few ROMs and kernels in the few months Ive had it cause of the info I found here. And I've never had any problems. All the info you'll ever need(and some you dont) is on XDA. And if after a relentless search for your question leads to nothing, then by all means ask away. Not tryin to hate, just stating facts
Thanks creglenn. I can never seem to find the right section to post in. il look there.

Well, since the thread is already created, can anyone tell me if it's possible to for example to install the music player from MIUI into my Eaglesblood ROM?

Wow! I cant believe I asked this question. Lol. Sorry for the bump, and there is a new question here. Aaaand on second look, that was me... lol. Geez.

Hm.. I'll recommend five things. Firstly, I'd recommend the Q&A section, as I see that you posted in.
Secondly, I'd recommend looking at the posts that come up when you make this post.
Thirdly, the search menu. I know, they did a good job hitting it in on the top.
Fourthly, I'd recommend looking here, which you would have found if you did a search. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18669986
And Finally, I'd recommend hitting the thanks button over there. >>
But seriously, who am I to tell you?

[Solution] Custom DPI and market incompatibility
So this morning i rooted my 5.0 player. Still has factory rom/kernal and runs on gingerbread 2.5 or whatever the stock firmware and os is. Anyyywaaayy. Its rooted. I have all in one tools and memory cleaner to optimize performance. I am usin an ics theme but i feel like im missing something. What kind of things can i do to enjoy the rootness on my mini tablet? Or could some of you guys help a noob build confidence about flashing. Idk i saw a mobile version of odin. Not sure what to think. I would love a jellybean os or something better than gingerbread.. It sucks. Lol what can i do now?
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Well my friend, we do have our own forum, and recently we got jellybean on our devices thanks to medorval. But here is what you should do, first, get the newest version of Odin on your computer. I use 1.85 i believe, then go download and flash entropy's kernel, which is overclocked for speed and, well, tech stuff. If you need more clear steps, contact me or go to our forum. Just type in galaxy player in the search your device and it should pop up for the 4.0 and 5.0. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you can't find them, I can help.
That is only the start of what you can do.
DO NOT USE MOBILE ODIN. DO NOT. IT BRICKS OUR DEVICE.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Very helpful thank you! Im so strung out on information overloaf that some links might be even more helpful lol => with your pep talk im craving jellybean more and more. Thank god you steered me way from mobile odin!

Ok right now I'm going to leave you hanging because I'm falling asleep trying to do this. It's the fact that I'm taking finals this week and I'm exhausted. Right now I recommend you do some reading on our forum and get to know the device. Sorry bout this but I will continue posting links tomorrow. I promise!

Lol no problems i certainly wouldnt want you strung out on account of me lol thankbyou for your help. Ill probably flash jellybean on.here in a few moments ill get started.
Good looken out friend and look luck with your academics!
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Haha thanks. And just a heads up so there is no frustration, you have to be on an ICS rom to update to jellybean. For some reason, you get errors while trying to do it on gingerbread. And flash jellybean through CWM.

besides, do you NEED an sd card to flash kernels and roms? i dont have one =P
Sorry for cluttering this up with such a basic question, but I have no idea what to do. I'm a total newbie to this and there are like fifty thousand ROMs to choose from in the ROM section.
I'm just looking for something clean and simple which will minimize battery usage as much as possible and possible speed things up. I wanted to use NeatROM, but it doesn't look like you can use it on the Skyrocket.
Thanks for any help!
No best ROM thread. Just read,read again, and read one more time then nandroid, then start flashing have to learn on your own at somepoint. I.e. start with slimbean then work your way down to others
+1. And do a lot of reading first. Only flash roms you find in the i727 xda development forum. Neat rom is not one of them and you most likely will brick your phone flashing the wrong rom.

Oh ya random question... can the ROM affect the quality of music playback?
Yes it can and the best one IMHO for that is CyanogenMod. Do not try beats audio drivers, they make it sound bad. And CM has a DSP app that handles sound for you. Any other suggestions from anyone else to help our new friend decide?
:beer:

Ah ok great thanks.
I was considering CyanogenMod, UCM1, and SlimBean... so maybe I'll just go with CyanogenMod. I listen to music all the time so I want something decent.
