i need your opinions on the strengths of various roms that you like.
if you could mix the strengths from any dx roms, which ones would it be?
please only give your opinions on ones you personally have run.

name the rom, the strength it has you like, and any specifics that you like about those strengths.

thanks guys.
 
i would have to go with apex and rubix..mainly older versions of rubix that seemed more stripped down (still love drods newer versions though they are perfect for me like apex)i think in rubix things were very clean and smooth and fabs scripts and the bloat that was left like the alarm and hotspot and messaging is a good way to go...it gives the user options.....or even tranq 3.6 is amazing in almost every aspect with the toolbox and the ability to have 6 different themes to be able to flash withut having to go into recovery is a huge step ....and being able to change fonts on the fly as well is awesome.....i like too much tp be honest faber:D..im an addict lol:)
 
Personally I would take the look and feel of Ultimate Droid and add it to the usability of GummyJAR. UD was my first and still favorite ROM. But Gummy works better than anything else I've flashed.

ud you have to sign up for? or is there a place to download it without signing up. i know its trivial, but you dont see any other rom requesting a person sign up to try their software out.

appr. the come back. ill see what comes out the free download version they had up....thnks. :)
 
It was my first and still favorite ROM. Waiting patiently for them to find fixes for GPS. Camera isn't that big of a deal, sure I'd like to have a fully working ROM. But if/when they fix the GPS I'll be all over it. If you think Gummy is fast, wait until you get your hands on UD!

followed link. saw download option. (2 actually) tried both and they wanted me to register.

when he is ready to put up a version a guy can try out like all the other devs do without having to give him my info; then ill try it out.

appreciate the info. though.
 
whew....man i dont know where i went wrong with tranq but i wound up sbfing.
probably somethign i did.
bazinga or whatever was kinda a strange rom.
like apex.

really out of all the one i messed with on a minimal level i like fission, apex, gummy so far. for what my inexperienced opinion is worth.

How ironic. I just sent my phone into an endless bootloop while flashing Tranq on Wednesday.

But it was definately my fault. I got sloppy with my ROM flashing technique. I still remember how freaking anal I was when I flashed my very first ROM (UD)... I probably made 4 or 5 nandroids... made backups of my backuped backups... synced all my apps to the AppBrain cloud more times than I can count.. took me all damn day to work up the nerve.

Once I got around to flashing Tranq I was driving down the highway, already had the zip file downloaded and sitting on the root of my SD card. And I wanted to flash it right then so my phone would be ready to play with once I got home. So I went for it without double checking the instructions on the website on how to flash it... BIG MISTAKE!!!

Now I still don't know where I got this in my head, but I was sure that I'd seen that I was supposed to go into 'Mounts and Storage' and format the cache, the data AND the system. I remember seeing that somewhere and having to read it again because it seemed strange to me formatting the system first because I'd never seen that done before. Since SBFing I've gone back to look, and I don't see those instructions on anything, none of the ROMs I was checking out. But I swear I saw it somehwere, I didn't dream those instructions... they are the instructions for something!

So anyways, after I flashed the zip everything looked like it had gone off without a hitch just like all the rest of them. So I rebooted, and the Tranquility logo came up instead of the Moto "M". After about 20 minutes (I gave it some time because I've heard some ROMs take a few minutes to load up the first time. But after 20 minutes had passed I figured I was in trouble. Sure enough it took me two days to get back to where I was before this mess (running GummyJAR). That was my first time every having to sbf. Was rather challenging without having the internet there (only internet I have is through my phone) to assist me in getting the right drivers, the right version of RSDlite, and to ask questions on how to go about doing the actual process.

Now that I'm back to where I'm loving my phone, I'm questioning if flashing anything else is even worth it anymore? I mean why fix something that isn't broken right?

Awe who am I kidding, I have to get back on that horse and ride!!!

your not crazy outlaw i am almost positive a while back my first version of fission i had to mount system etc....
 
i sbf'd twice today....lol....

i had to be doing something wrong.

tranq loaded for me fine and was going, but every time i downloaded boot strap and tired to install it would reboot. sometimes it just reboot anyway. after the reboot it wouldnt work and i had to bat. pull. then it would boot but still wouldnt download boot strap....it would just keep rebooting b4 it installed. beats me what i did.

then i downloaded fissions 2.5.7 or whatever they are on now from their web site in the froyo version and put it on and that sent me in to a boot logo then back to recovery, same thing anytime i tried to load it.
i format my sd card and wipe everything when installing especially fission (esp. after running another rom) so i had nothing else to load while in recovery (dont have a mini sd reader).....
so finally i just sbf'd it again and loaded 2.5.6 be. that went fine.

again probably all my fault with all the flashing of roms i was doing and messing around.

originally i was looking at mixing some of the rom strengths.
i found myself with a set up with fission base and gummy: slider, music widget, animations (which provided some of the gummy snappiness, but not all), and that widget thing that puts them all together in the menu. that went well and loaded fine.

so then after some playing i realize now that fission already offers the slider, animations usually get changed by themes, and the music thing isnt that big a deal.
that basically leaves the interest in the widget minder thing, which could probably be worked in to a theme if someone wanted it (havent tried it yet).

i was also interested in trying some of the other things like the font switch on the fly and etc as long as i wasnt putting out paid software, but had such a mess of a time with tranq., im not trying that again. (again prob. my fault).

so i guess i wont write any of it off as a loss as much as a bit of a learning exp. ....lol.

messing with the inside of roms is kinda new to me, barring themeing exp.
 
maybe it wasnt me on the fission froyo sbf deal;

"The FroYo Themed ROMs are back up...sorry once again...not sure what happened but they are working, just freshly tested by me."

posted after a couple people had same issue i did.
 
The only two things about Blur that I like are the alarm clock and the camera.

Consequently, I think I like GummyJar best - especially the dialer, the Blur dialer has nice features but it bogs stuff down and I don't care much about the extra features - and would like the Blur camera and alarm clock.

I love the ApeX scripts, making it easy to add/remove pieces you want or don't want. So, GJ + Blur alarm/camera + ApeX scripts = perfection. I may restore my ApeX build today and copy the scripts over to GJ.

i think that combining them would be an awesome idea,,,,,i also love the scripts myself..the only blur apps i like are the alarm clock ,messaging and hotspot....i also love that fab installed very little blur and left the rest up to the user rather then installing all the blur and if we want to strip it down then its up to the user....i have tried roms like that like chevvy ssx rom and im not saying anything bad about his roms i just didnt prefer that method
 
I'm currently learning about the update.zip process to see if I can put together a little add-on kit for GummyJar. I could do it all manually for my own phone, of course, but I'd like to see if I can successfully use the .zip process.
