Best Stable ROM w / Full Exchange Support

Hello All, I am considering purchasing a MyTouch 3G but need full Exchange Support. Which ROM out there is my best choice? It needs to be stable for day to day use with Bluetooth and WiFi working. Any recommendations would be greatly appriciated. Otherwise, I may end up going with the Touch Pro 2. Thanks.

I use this one, it's superb

Hello All, I am considering if you even tryed to use the search there should plenty of info about this around.
Further more i wonder if you even tryed to read the sticky topic "Please dont start a new thread if something like this happens"
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.
There ya go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555499
Edit: reported for being a noob creating an profile and posting his first question in the wrong category without even reading the rules or trying to make a search on the subject!

Wrong forum section dude, try general instead. Thread has been reported.

MOD EDIT
Moved to general forum. In future please try and post in correct forum.
HINT - For example in your case, ask yourself is your query about themes, software, games, android development etc. No its not, so post in general.

First, sorry about posting in the wrong thread. I thought a question about rom's would go in the rom's forum, guess I was wrong.
Second, I have spent time, a LOT of time, searching the forums regarding which rom to use. I was hoping to get feedback from other people that have been using them in regards to my specific requests - Exchange, WiFi and Bluetooth. Honestly, the forums get really confusing with the multiple names the devices have, the cross device porting and such. It is not a simple task to find a ROM with XYZ. Plus the forums do not always state what does work. I was just looking for some feedback before sinking a couple hundred bucks on a phone. Sorry for being a noob.
_Belial, thank you for your recommendation.

Well i guess many people using xda started to get frustrated and annoyed about how hard it can be to find what you seek. But one of the reasons for it is that things started to get messy cause of to many topics concerning the same problems/solutions.
We all been new around here once and we can all make mistakes so no hard feeling. At least we have some good moderators trying to get things in there right places

i think the question about full exchange support is a valid one.
there are many roms out there that support exchange, but they only support email, not calendar and contacts, and the change log doesn't always reflect this.

[Q] I Rooted my phone and now it won't update

I Rooted my phone and now it won't update, it usually said connecting to server checking for updates you have the latest updates etc or I could download them. I install OTA Root protector but I have uninstalled that and still no joy Model number:GT-i9300 Android version 4.1.2 any help would be greatly appreciated, I am completly new to smart phones and clockwork recovery mode was not installed when I rooted could that be the problem? Now when I go to about device>software update>update it doesn't say connecting to server it just says checking for updates and the little wheel can spin all day without anything happening.
Thank you in advance

This is a consequence of rooting.. when you root the stock Rom, an indicator (visible under settings>phone info>status) shows you're running a modified system and this doesn't allow you to update. However, if you undo and you unroot your phone, you'll be able to receive ota updates, or you can temporarily reset this indicator using triangle away

As said root = no OTAbut Kies will update and remove root .
All this is in the basic faqs and guides that you should have read first .
Please read rules questions are in Q&A

General > sticky roll-up thread
Read "understanding the basics before rooting"

As the other members said, you should read FAQ before asking & this is wrong section.

Not a very helpful site at all would be as well just to Google everything which brings about the question why have a forum on it if members can't tell you what to do that is the whole point of any Forum. And the capicha everytime you have to reply is just totally uncalled for.

Well its very very simple its you asking the question once and failing to bother reading the faqs and guides its thousand with multiple same posts daily .
You and many others are just not interested so why should forum members help you .
This is XDA Developers forum not a fix my phone that i carelessly broke service centre .
Get it a developers forum for developers run by developers if you don't want to learn the basics its pointless being a member as we don't do spoon-feeding .
Please read the rules before posting .

When you take you're car to a garage and don't know what is wrong with it does the mechanic give you books to read on every aspect of the car before he fixes it. No he doesn't because he has the knowledge of how to fix it and if you read everything about the car you wouldn't need the garage get it.

Facts a garage charges you for the work the mechanic does the work .
This is a developers forum we do not fix your phone but we do have the basic faqs and guides free for you to read .
You are only to willing to whine and moan but to lazy to read the faqs and guides .
Suggest you try another forum as you totally do not understand what XDA is and think it exists to fix phones .
Goodbye .

my phone is rooted and my status says normal. not that i would want to take an ota because like kies I am sure it would unroot my phone. but if there were an ota wouldn't I be able to download and install it without having to use kies? I ALWAYS JUST ASSUMED THAT WAS AN OPTION. stock system+stock kernel+stock recovery. flash counter at 0. nothing custom or modified in system status or download mode.

Send me your phone and I will give you an estimate on the cost of fixing it. Estimate cost $30 average repair cost $100 :silly:
If you want to do it yourself then you better start understanding how to do it
Why would someone write again the same information that others have been pointing you, too. By all means google your question, chances are you will find it has been answered (on this forum).

The problem is your car is working as expected. This thread is similar to "Every time I move this column stick on the steering column down, a light starts flashing on the outside of my car". To which the mechanic would probably refer you to the user manual.
We're pretty much doing the same thing. Not knowing that you cannot accept OTA updates once rooted is basic root knowledge. I spent a long time putting a thread together that gives you ALL this basic knowledge that you already should have.
As already stated, this is a developers forum, not a help forum. There is an expectation that you read the basic guides and FAQ's before asking questions, in particular questions like this that are non-development related. XDA members take the time to put these guides and FAQ's together for people who do ask for help for non-development things. This forum is not here to spoon feed you the answers. It is here to help you learn the answers and that's what the guides and FAQ's are for. If you are not interested in learning, understanding or fixing things yourself, this is not the forum for you. Try android forums.
Otherwise, as per my first post in this thread, read "understanding the basics before rooting"

Sure. Please let me know how much you paid for the forum repair service. I'll be sure to refund every cent.

Suggestions for 3rd-party device hardware distributors?

I'm interested in replacing the 1/8" stereo out jack on my n4. It went out a few months back and I could have and still can start an rma with google but I enjoy DIY projects and this one would be a good learning experience. I'm just looking for suggestions or advice pertaining to aftermarket hardware components and the best route to take in acquiring them.
thanks!

Sweet, I'll check that out. Thanks.
Guess I'm just gonna have to bull**** my way past the oppressive 10 post initiation period. Time to go ask some stupid questions in the wrong categories without utilizing the search feature first.... :cyclops:

Information for easy access

My apologies if this is a stupid suggestion.
It seems reading a lot of threads, especially about(at least my own tablet,yoga 2)that quite a few members have one way or another "broken" a normally working tablet, either by updates not taking correct or flashing the wrong files to their tablet.
Would it be an idea to place all the relevant files in one place, such as in what files will go to which model and how to identify which file to use eg-bios versions and how to tell which one a member is on (kitkat or lollipop),and what ROM to use.
I know ionioni answers a lot of questions and I have noticed quite a few repeats, would it take the strain off of him and other members if the answers were already there in one place.
Only a thought(I'll now go back to sleep)

such a place exists already (not to say about new threads opened right after a thread named 'this is how you solve your problem')
if i recall you are the guy that asked for help, then ignored the advice, sent the tab to lenovo, got it back unfixed weeks later, then asked again for help, received the same advice etc...
maybe you should start a new thread and make it the way you think is better... (a good title would be 'Lenovo - for those who don't read')
consider also that most of the 'i need help' owners are neither in the tech stuff (installing some driver is maybe the most that one can ask from) nor familiar with xda

Point taken ionioni.
When I first came here I admit I knew absolutely nothing,but I have done a lot of reading (I really mean a lot) and I am more confident about what to do and what not to do.
I thought maybe to help people like myself that start out knowing nothing, a single place of reference might help instead of asking repeated questions (like I myself did).
I did not post to offend anyone, just trying to help.

so make one, i was serious. theres also a how to root made by some androguy that is filled with good stuff

New with the tablet

Hi everyone,
I just buy my tablet by Amazon and I'm waiting to receive it.
I have some doubts that maybe you could answer me.
My intention is use the tablet to play, I read there were a lot of people with problem connecting a Xbox game-pad. Anyone has information about that?
About a cover case, I was thinking to buy one with a keyboard, in case I want to do something productive (basically use Team Viewer or answers e-mails), Anyone could recommend me one?
Thanks in advance !
