[Q] which rom is beter??

Guys I'm a newbie in this forum so please guide me which rom is better.........dexter's froyo or that one of khalpowers.
I'm totally confused.And if someone could tell me that if I install one of these roms
will the installed apps and other data like contacts or stuff will remain or be removed.
Please also state the disadvantage of these roms as compared to the stock 2.1

For russian speaking users i recommend RusMod.
For everyone else - use Khalpowers mods with mine kernel from fastboot.
Or Dexter's 1.3 with Mioze7ae patch.

they all good for me ,just have to choose which one suits you ,Dexters is the original Froyo and others is optimization based on the Dexter's rom..if you like the Original one ..choose Dexter..or elase..you can try others
i think you should try the Froyo of Khalpowers ,it's base on Dexters and xavwanted's and it's the latest froyo till now..many user discuss about the khalpowers and you can get more help in the froum.
"if I install one of these roms
will the installed apps and other data like contacts or stuff will remain or be removed."
yes ..coz after you finished installation of Froyo ..you need to wipe everything ..so eveything on your phone Memory will gone..(everything in SD card ..Photo,vdo,songs..etc..is fine)
"Please also state the disadvantage of these roms as compared to the stock 2.1"
1. you can use flash in your web browser watch youtube in webpages..(performance not good lag.. due to the CPU ti 3440 and ram 256..)
2.you can move your apps to your sd and you can play bigger games with large data
3. you can use many apps that require running on OS 2.2
4. you can use 3.5mm TV out...
i might be wrong in some point....so it's just my experience

Thanks for replying guys!
please could you explain me what does fastboot patch does and is it neccessary.
Also for enabling apps to sd in khalpowers rom do i have to do something else apart from creating a partition?
And how can i use hdmi cable to play games on tv with this rom??
help?

Guys one more thing
if i want to return to stock 2.1 I saw the video made by reveren the stock 2.1 file is of cincinati bell so would this create any network problems as i am not using cicncinati bell.
I know this must be a stupid question but please do answer!

How to use the 3.5 mm to mirror my phone on the tv....which wire is required?

[Q] No 3G connectivity after custom rom (only edge)

Hey there folks!
this is my fisrt post on the forum so here goes.
I've got my first android phone a couple of weeks ago and since then I did the S-OFF and rooted it. I read the boards here, i maneged to get new roms on it without any problems and I am very happy with the performance of the phone now.
The only thing is that I can not get 3G data connectivity only EDGE.
I live in a place that always has 3G and it seems a little odd.
If anyone has encoutered this problem please let me know if and how to resolve it.
Thanks.
Phone: HTC Desire S S-OFF
Radio: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
Kernel: 2.6.35.13-Tiamat_Saga-v1.0.4+
ROM: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-IncS

Have you tried with another ROM? ZuluGen or the inofficial nighthly? These are not ports from Inc S, but made directly from Cyanogen source.
I think it's worth to give it a try... Just don't forget to do a NAND backup before flashing a new ROM! (This can directly be done in ROM Manager when choosing the ROM to flash. )
I assume you know how to use Titanium Backup to port all your settings and apps to the new ROM. If not, no worries... it's fairly simple and actually self-explanatory!
If help is needed, feel free to ask here!

[Q] Cyanogenmod and MIUI: FC's after restoring

Hi all,
I start this thread since I reported it yesterday in the support page but the issue was closed today (even when there are more people with the same problem). The issue details are available at http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4586
The problem is after restoring apps or apps+data using Titanium Backup Pro or Mybackup Pro in Cyanogenmod or MIUI ROMs.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) with CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6, JVK radio,
gapps-gb.20110828-signed and I am using the Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable for my device.
I installed CM 7.1 9 times and I tried it 9 times (7 times after a clean installation). The problem is that I start receiving many FC's (mostly gapps app, folder organizer app, hotmail app, picplz app and phonebook app but there are more apps affected) when I try to restore user apps + data using Titanium Backup Pro (I tried 2 versions) or Mybackup Pro (v3.0).
If I restore only the user apps (with no data) no problem but after configure the apps manually FC's appear again and I can't do anything (one or two FC per second).
I only have this problem using any MIUI and CyanogenMod ROMs, no problem with other Froyo or Gingerbread based ROMs (eg: Criskelo v75 [based on 2.2.1, JS8], Criskelo v79 [based on 2.3.4, JVQ], Darky Rom extreme 10.2.2 [based on 2.3.4, JVQ]).
I even tried going to Titanium Backup preferences and changing the app processing mode to "Auto, Indirect" but problem perssisted.
I have apps installed using apk files and Market apps (none other Market app installed). Obviously I can't attach anything since I am unable to do anything in the phone due to I receive 1 or 2 FC per second.
No matter the number or wipes I do before or if it is a clean installation: always the same problem. More people with the same problem: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/34286-constant-fc/
Can anybody help on it since Cyanogenmod developpers refused that (they closed my ticket without any comment or help).
Thanks and regards.
I think I found the reason why /data/data folder size is only 170 MB: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/29756-datadata-partition-size/ I think that it is the problem.

Sorry if it wasn't the right section to post the problem: I thought it was the more suitable. Where should I have posted it? Could you please move it or tell me the right section (and I will post there)?
Sorry again. Regards.

other than stock, I've only used cyanogen roms...and after numerous nightlies, I've gotten to the point that if I'm going to try a new one, I just prepare my self to start clean...basically don't restore everything...
even in the situations where things seems stable..like throwing a new nightly over the top of the existing..it only lasts a few days, or maybe a week...before it start FCing everything and then gets into a boot loop.

I just want to use the Cyanogenmod stable realease, not a nightly. But I don't like the 170 MB (well, 153 MB because problems appear when reaching 90% of 170 MB available in /data/data) limitation. I have a Samsung Galaxy S, why should I be limitted as if I have a HTC Wildfire??????? I have maid much more than people who has a Wildfire so I should be able to use all my device features, such as the internal storage.

It is being handled by devs: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4600

Your question is not related at all to this thread. Please, search for any MIUI ROM thread and read it (it's explained in all the MIUI ROMs threads) and you will know the answer.

[Q] How to Root Samsung Galaxy S 4G and Install Jelly Bean 4.3 (CyanoGenMod)

Hi Guys,
I am an IT person, but totally new to Android. I am having Samsung Galaxy S 4G (T959v) running GingerBread (2.3.6).
I had upgraded from Froyo to GingerBread using Kies mini... and since that I am facing a lot of issues running... like slow responsiveness, phone hangs, some times unable to make calls, very high RAM usage etc...
So to fix these issues, I am thinking to install custom ROM (Jelly Bean 4.3 - CyanogenMod 10.2). But I don't know how to do that.
What I read on thread is it first needs to ROOT the device, but I am not sure how to ROOT the device.
Please help me to ROOT the device in easy steps and install custom ROM.. (Off course without bricking my device )
Thanks.

Look at the second link in my signature. Instead of flashing the whole package just flash AntonX's kernel. Read the first couple of posts in the Heimdal thread and you will hopefully know what I am referring to.
From there, follow the directions in the OP of the ROM thread that you would like to flash. The OP will also tell you what works and does not work for that ROM.

I would suggest making a backup copy of your efs folder for the just in case..

Advice Please regarding Marshmallow on Note 3

Hello.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 currently running the Vodafone official Lollipop ROM. I find it very sluggish and would like to speed it up.
Would I see any benefit in rooting my phone and going to CM13 or an alternative Marshmallow ROM ?
I have 2 apps that I use constantly - IBM Verse and VPNCilla, both of which I use for work. Would both of these apps work
on a custom ROM, as this would be a deal breaker if they did not.
If all of the answers to the above were yes, where would be the best place to download the necessary ROM etc, as it has been a while since I have done this.
Many thanks,
Simon

Yes marshmallow is more smooth relative to lollipop.
As for your apps it depends on the ROM, if the ROM you are using has a VPN bug it means you won't be able to use vpncilla properly ,just check known issues of the ROM before flashing to make sure
XDA is the good place to find development
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3238064 try any other if you don't like it ,lots of marshmallow based ROMs out there nowadays
