Hello all,
Made some research and found out in bad surprise that lots of the ROMs offered here are developed by some guys coming from conflict regions or cultures that preach and encourage "holy wars" against civilized, peaceful countries. This makes me somehow doubt the software/malware contained in these distributions, given the latest "digital guerillas"... I don't want my phone call information, emails, SMSs or phone call recordings being transparently forwarded to some intelligence agency.
Can somebody please reccomend a clean origin distribution so our phones are safe ? Please do not ask me to point the suspicious sources, I do not want to accuse anyone, I just want a clean, trustworthy source.
sorry vasilica2008 the mods do not allow us to give an advice about what is a good rom. simply because a good rom differs for everyone.
some like them close to stock, some like them most stable, others like max speed or naked.
it is a personal thing a rom.
if you had used the search in this forum you would have seen that all the threads asking similar questions are locked.
just look at the first few posts on a rom thread. the cook will explain what he has done to the rom.
if you like it read further. and try a few. you will find your rom for sure.
Finally read the guide about flashing. things can go wrong and most of them are easily prevented or solved.

i see that in the mean time i was typing you changed the post to this . I this case can you thrust anybody's rom????
i think the chefs are integer persons. if you are this afraid just stick to stock roms and look no further for any improvements and any software. as you dont know the source of any of them.

I don't know why you have such suspicion, having flashed a zillion of roms and cooked a couple myself, I had never come across any of the dubious sources you have described, and even there is indeed one, the power of the community would have such source clamped down fairly quickly.
If you still do not trust the cooks here, then I suggest you should just stop flash and stick with your stock rom.
Surely, even if true and some developers come from regions in conflict, is it fair to damn them because of that (Embargoed countries withstanding). There are very few countries in the world that are ethically clean - I am from and live in the UK and there is a lot that has been done in the name of England in the past 150 years that I would be mortified if I, as a person, was judged for.
Malware? I guess that's possible with all cooked ROMS, regardless of country source. Best advice - if nervous, look carefully at conversation threads in this forum (and beware the usual false positive (search the HSPL / HSPL2 thread).
Let's not turn this thread into a political discussion

Isn't it to late for april fools?
Sorry, no joke intended. Thanks for the answers, lads, I'll stick with the stock ROMs then. All the best.
hey its a risk walking on the streets! Do your research like everyone else and if you have your suspicions then don't take risks, coming out with these accusations don't help anyone!
Everyones taste is different.
You'll be missing out on a lot if you stick to stock ROM's... but hey - your choice.
it's worth remembering hundreds, thousands in some cases, of fairly technical people install some of these roms every day.it would be very difficult to conceal anything untoward in a rom for long.
Sorry guys, we still dont know who has the rom, but i guess, she may be a businessman. the reason why she dont want to release the rom is that she just want to raise the prices of HD2. i hate this practice. I have inquired the mobile char, its belong to the Shenzhen City.
You may have already seen the video, but somebody may need it:
Link:http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjIwODU2NzQ0.html
no idea why anyone would want to watch another video of someone else's phone.
The hype over wp7 on hd2 has got totally out of hand. It's not even particularly good on a wp7 phone.
Bored of wobbly videos. They should release it so people here can try it or shut up!
hi, guy, Don’t be so grumpy about it. we just want to confirm that the HD2 can really run WP7, sooner or later they will release the rom, whatever it takes, this is a good news, right?

Don't mean to sound grumpy or put anyone's efforts down.
But its just not news anymore. I think most rational minded people have probably accepted wp7 on hd2 exists. That much we know from Devs inside XDA already.
Yeah I'll try it on hd2 when released.. but I already know I'll use 6.5.3 as my daily driver for a good while to come. WP7 is everything we here should hate given its so locked down - it really isn't worth this fuss!
Ok nice but wheres the link????

I think one of the reasons people are hungry for news of running Windows Phone 7 on the HTC HD2 is that it is part of the inherent spirit of the original purpose of organizing XDA-Developers in the first place. XDA of course was a brand name used by 02 on the first phones they sold that were manufactured by a relatively young Taiwanese company that had changed its name of Hi Tech Computers to HTC. The original XDA-DEvelopers guys were mostly engineers and were determined to unlock more features of these PDAs, as well as making these PDAs do more than what they were first intended to do. The XDA-Developers guys knew that the more people involved, the more knowledge could be gained and shared.
I still have an old O2 XDA II that is happily running Windows Mobile 6.5.3. It originally came with Windows Mobile 2003, Chinese version. XDA-Developers has allowed this old PDA to have a really extended life.
XDA-Developers has really changed over the years as membership grew. Much civility of the older members is being drowned out by new members, to the point where a noob of a few months calls others noobs and cannot offer any other information than to search.
I enjoy seeing any news on the development of Windows Phone 7 on the HD2; it is similar to when our PDAs running on 2003 could migrate to 2005, and then 6.x
I also appreciate the fact that our friends in China are participating more now. Some of the younger guys there now are really highly trained specialists in areas that pertain to smart phones. And, I appreciate the fact that some of these guys in China are making an effort to keep us updated on any progress that is made there.
I think we should all also remember that for some Chinese it is a daunting challenge to navigate a complex site like XDA-Developers, and that it is not always easy for them to communicate what they really want to when they have to translate from Chinese to English. It is much more difficult to do this than, say, translate a European language into English.
So, hopefully, allowances should be made, and we should all welcome the participation of our Chinese friends. Now, I wish HTC would go back to making truly global phones, rather than regional phones, LOL
Thank you for your understanding.
Thank you for the info, but i can't find the link to the video ^^
Plenty of intelligent comments there. Hey I wouldn't be reading the thread if I wasn't interested in the news.
On the subject of spirit of XDA though - until there's openess and sharing then they're not complying to what this place stands for. Right now its just building publicity and we're all wondering for what gain for them.

My own personal opinion is that there has been no sharing of the ROM demoed in the videos is that what we saw was actually an earlier test of Windows Phone 7 on the HD2. I am sure you know that the HD2 was used as a testbed for the earlier development of Windows Phone 7. Others have commented on certain elements in the video that appear to be similar to earlier testing ROMs.
So, I guess, in the end, those in China who are in possession of the HD2 running WP7 are not much closer to developing a flashable ROM than others. In short, I think there is no ROM yet to be shared.
I think we also need to distinguish those who filmed the video (who may well be doing it for financial gain) from our Chinese friends who have signed up as members of XDA-Developers. Clearly, there is a major difference between these two groups of people.
Of course, all the above is just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.
You got a good point.
True, patient is a virtue. Please get yourself a seat and wait! Hope that gooooood news pop out soon!
This is an english only forum, please start writing in english before a mod comes here and erases your posts.

I think we should refrain from making posts in languages other than English as the rules of the forum are that it is an English forum. XDA-Developers moderators tend to get upset when they see other languages!
Other than that, no way will I get involved in flag disputes, but I do love those old Japanese style bath houses in Beitou, just north of Taipei. Really a relaxing experience after debating on XDA-Developers hours on end.

Preface: The continuity of posts leading to the following mini-essay were rightly deleted by the mods, as those posts contained languages other than English. However, I feel the main points of this mini-essay remain valid. I am not trying to create conflict, but remind others what XDA-Developer is all about: inclusiveness instead of exclusiveness, and technology, not nationality.
Although, due to historical and geographical reasons, I am much more familiar with Traditional Chinese characters, rather than Simplified Chinese characters, I was able to follow the gist of the conversation. Even though the conversation was mostly in jest, it still was somewhat unsettling to me.
Just as I will stand up for you guys in China, so I will do for the Japanese. If you check all the different forums on XDA-Developers you will find many Japanese who have made exceptional contributions to the site and its members. XDA-Developers is really a global tech site, which should remain inclusive rather than exclusive. So, when we log in, I think we should drop our nationalistic preconceptions at the door and get down to the work of concentrating on our devices supported by XDA-Developers. What do you think about that?
In the past I have chastised those who use cheap nationalist jokes against others from another country, and I will do that again. You know that to be a truth, as you have read some of those posts.
I know some of you guys from China have had a bit of a tough time breaking into the social community of XDA-Developers, so I hope you guys don't dish out to others what you suffered when you first joined this site.
Well, that is said and done, and soon to be forgotten.
And, I can climb down from my soapbox again. I think I need a vacation from climbing up and down from that soapbox. It is really tiring me out!
PS. A couple things to always remember, always post in English, don't assume "others" aren't comprehending what you type in your native language, and park nationalist prejudices at the door so that you can truly enjoy what XDA-Developers has to offer without causing conflicts.
Hi all.. I would like to know that developers that develop ROMs for Samsung Galaxy S II...
Im Spanish and Im thinkin about buy Galaxy S II... I can buy it now but there is a problem...
Galaxy S II was anounce with NFC technology but it seems that NFC wont be available in UK Galaxy´s S II...
My problem: Im spanish and here arrives 15 may but i dont know if spanish version will come with NFC tech or not...
I just wanted to explain all that because I want to know if the best developers got Galaxy with NFC or without.
PD: Sorry if i write something wrong... And thanks all comunity
PD: Sorry! I foget "???" in headline...
knobody can tell me if developers will use UK version?
first learn to speak decent english... its very hard to digest the meaning of what you are asking & moreover, you are asking something which no one has.... why do you need that NFC technology ???
once it becomes popular, then you can think of that.... you know there is a technology where you can use this NFC function on SIM card.... i dont remember where i read it.... if that NFC method becomes so popular in your country, this technology will also become popular & it will be available for all....
till then dont worry about the NFC & better start learning some simple & understandable english pls.... or ask an apology at the end of your post.... atleast

I know what he was asking, no need to try and be pretentious.
I don't know the answer to your question. It depends what country the developers are in etc.
It also depends upon the devs having access to the SGS 2 . Buy them one and i am sure it will be worked on .
Devs are a hobby not paid for they do it in their spare time and have to buy their own phones .
Russian devs but Russian SGS UK devs buy UK SGS .
As the SGS 2 is barely released who knows about NFC yet .
jje
Thanks everybody...
Sorry again for my english.. maybe is not normative.. But it think that somebody who knows english can understand it..
It's okay, your English is alright. It's not intuitive to understand but it gets the message across.
We do not know which areas will be getting NFC versions, when they will get them, or how incompatible they will be with each other.
If stuff for one version works, or is easily modified to work on the other version then there will be no problem. This is what I believe to be likely, but have no way of confirming. After all, we do not really have any details about the NFC version.
Personally I would not worry too much either way.
I think no matter it has NFC or not,only if it is i9100,roms will be compatible.
Or in another word,if the ROM of NFC version is not compatible with non NFC version,the name of NFC version won't be i9100.
At the Samsung Galaxy on Ice event in germany they said that the NFC version will only be available in Korea.

Be nice, be helpful.
By the look of it, this device seems way too awesome not to get a lot of developer support. Plus by the sounds of it, a lot of the SGS kernel work with regards to CM7 will be portable across here? I'm definitely going to be trying to get my hands on it! (Not that I count as much of a kernel dev, but we will get some real pro devs for sure! )
As to NFC or no NFC versions, they will probably be a different model number if it requires kernel changes. The kernels will probably be very similar anyway and easily portable between different SGS2 models, as with the SGS1. Except for the non amoled/exynos cpu versions, which would have very different drivers.

Say goodbye to your phone because I bet you've got the wrong model fas it's probably the i9000G firmware as per the other thread(s) about it.
Why would you ask others to check it when;
a) You didn't give them a link
and
b) You're already flashing it?
There's 2.3.6 update for SII but AFAIK it's for at&t one..
but someone mentioned every SII got that..

Intratech,
Greetings.
I have been following your great topics and tips for a while. So I thank you.
But I am little disturbed by this comment. No, I am not pulling the race card because I think you are not a racist. While I can understand you may not be familiar with my culture and it is right that there are many garbage, copycats in many forums, you have discounted the good works like in here do exist in many Chinese forums. Moreover, xda also has got enough clueless posts too.
From my first hand experience, there are some smart guys just like you and others in xda would write up tutorials, guidelines, organize the releases/requests of features/workflow, customizing the ROMs for specific Chinese markets and users. Some even tag with a MD5 hash for authentication. There are also "just rooted" stock ROMs... I have been using those and never have a single bot, malware, rootkit, spyware detected.
I hope you and others would not label all Chinese enthusiasts and developers as bad apples. Peace.

Sorry, I didn't mean to brand all Chinese and Russians as being bad, I'm just talking about getting something from a forum I don't know about. Being as I work in IT who know a small amount the security aspect of it, it makes me inherently sceptical of software from people I don't know especially when it comes from China, Russia and Eastern Europe.
I'm sure there are lots of talented Chinese, Eastern European and Russian developers right here on XDA and once I know them I wouldn't have a problem using their work, if I haven't already, but I still wouldn't get anything from a Chinese or Eastern European forum.... forum not the race/people.
As for Racism, if anyone tries to accuse of it they will probably get laughed at by anyone who knows me. I'd have a hard time living in my family if I was racist as I'm pretty sure we have the whole racial spectrum covered.
Intratech,
Thank you for your prompt response that clarifies where you stand. Granted it is only fair for you or anyone not to just take whatever available online without further scruntizing. At least, in your context, I can now understand you are more about exercising a necessary precaution. Especially when you do not know what exactly you are dealing with. To be honest, I would have become a hypocrite if I just do the same with other ROMs specifically customized for other markets than mine.
I think that we can call it a matter of principle and personal preference when choosing the right combo for each of us.
Once again, I appreciate your reply.
All users on the latest i9100G are already using the 2.3.6 out of the box, so it is available for SGS2 except not for the i9100 yet. The G already has this but words is that the firmware running on the G has a capped of 1008mhz on the CPU.
This question has been asked here (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/from-the-bbq-omnirom/) but seems didn't get a reply from mods.
what makes it so special compared to other ROMs like AOKP/PA which are just threads in the device forums. Pulser_g2 has mentioned transparency in another post in the past but this forum section seems to go above forum rules. thanks
You know i've been wondering that myself...not that i care really. I'm more excited about wanting to port it lol ...will still be nice to know

As far as I know it doesn't. The main Omni sub forum is only here for better communication between the devs and its community otherwise as far as I know the ROMs itself will be in their own respected device forums.

then why not just create the relevant threads on the supported devices?
I never saw a dev/maintainer having problems communicating with its users on the device threads.
honestly does it really matter? this is how it should be for cynogen/aokp/paranoid as well since they are the most popular. will make communication and guides a whole lot easier.
perhaps this is xda way of going down that isle

My guess (purely a guess) is because there is meant to be more community discussion around new features. CM seems to just be lead devs in private discussions about upcoming stuff, the rest of us know about it when the commits start to roll.
This sort of "upcoming feature" talk is more appropriate in a central forum, rather than spread across x amount of individual device threads that noone will ever read. The "Feature Development" sub also sort of confirms this a bit.

The plan is for these forums to be for coordination between developers on device-independent stuff. I also hope to have, eventually, a "neutral ground" where the leads of various projects can communicate. There are always going to be things (usually differences in UI/UX direction) that drive the existence of multiple projects - but there are a lot of areas where the work done is common and I think that the various projects can do better communicating.
I would not have any problem with other firmware projects having coordination forums for "core" work here on XDA.
As I've said in other posts - this is the very earliest stages of things, and there are still a lot of details to work out. There's a possibility that the current "omni" forums could change drastically in structure as things get fleshed out better.
Thanks Entropy. clear and concise. couldn't ask for more. all power to the new team/ROM. Competition is ALWAYS good.

It is an experiment - while we can sit around at XDA Towers and come up with wonderful ideas of how to improve things for developers, it's important to see how they work.
In this case we can see how the concept of having a centralised area for non device specific discussions works. It's easier to try it out on something that can be undone if needed, which is starting off slowly.
If that works out, I don't think it takes a genius to imagine the direction that we would look towards in the future.
It's worth noting that Rootzwiki sort of has a similar structure for AOKP and a few others under the "Team Forums" section. Definitely seems like a good structure to experiment with. I know a lot of ROMs tried running their own forums but the problem is that everyone is here and no one wants to make a bunch of new accounts, so this makes more sense in the long run.

I think what you mean to say its the bonnie wizzer and the king grux grew crew!
I can't believe you actually said mix tape. I have a pair of Converse that say mix tape.
From the VERY little I've seen about this rom it's reminding me of SalvageMod, which I really really liked.

It was a workaholics reference, obviously you didn't get it.

Don't want to date myself, but we had a similar forum back in the Motorola heyday.
Back than seem editing and various other methods of modding
various Motorola phones, starting with the Motorola v3 were discussed.
It worked very well than and should now. Motorola released different phones,
but they all basically had the same but updated firmware.
I am the Administrator of one of the forums that still survives, but not much activity these days.
