Root Rom Comparison

[adicken1]

Can someone that has extensively used each of the more popular ROMS list the differences, and possibly the pros and the cons of each?

I'm currently running Epic Experience and chose that over Quantum for the moment due to not being able to select a ringtone without the app freezing, then subsequently FCing. (Minor reason I know, but a reason none the less)

I haven't tried any of the others yet, but couldn't even really tell the major differences between these 2 besides a couple of apps and little things such as the indicator on the battery of Quantum... I'd imagine it would take days of regular use to notices even the changes between the ROMS and the stock DK28.

Thanks in advance.

FWIW, that ringtone issue is fixed with Quantum.

Samsung Galaxy S/SPH-D700 - XDA-Developers Has the features of the different ROMs.

Roger that. I must have downloaded an outdated version of the ROM... I read a post of yours a while back that referenced that the FC issue was resolved, but wasn't sure if these issues were one in the same.

Thanks for the link. I searched high and low and couldn't find anything.

BTW, Kelmar, I know you're running Quantum... What specifically led you to that decision?

You have to flash the Phone Fix as well and it'll be fine.


I usually keep flashing ROMs until I find one I like. I also read the comments. Are the ROM's usually problematic or do they work... does the Developer seem to know what they are talking about or is it just a themed version of a stock ROM (which I would rather just theme myself to my liking).

Quantum fit my needs and likes and so it stayed.

 

[adicken1]

Right on.

Thanks alot.

have you guys noticed on yours that when you leave the physical keyboard open, the keyboard lights will flash on and off randomly when the device is in sleep mode? i've read that this happens on other froyo-based roms as well. it happens on my Epic with Quantum v 2.1.

Yes.

From what I can tell it's ONLY when the phone is open though.

right, seems to be that way. not a huge deal but hopefuly they'll make a fix?

Purely a guess.... but probably not (at least not for DK28). If DL11 really is released on Sunday the 26th, the developers will focus their attention on the official release rather than leaks.

If the problem spans onto DL11, I would imagine that the developers and Samsung would both be working on a fix.
