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] Can newbies have directly support from other xda-users?

I am a newbie to Android operating system. As many other newbies, I got a lot troubles and puzzles when using my android phone, recreating themes or modifying ROM, etc... Then I have to post a new thread on forum and waiting for an advice. Sometimes it takes a lot of time just for a easy bug fix.
Therefore, I wonder if some experienced android users can leave their gmail address so that newbies like me can add as buddies in g-talk in order to asking for advices in some cases.
Thanks.

Best advice I can give you is to start here reading the Noob bible, read read read, then once you are more familiar with the phone, I would join one of the developers personal website forums. The people in there can and will give you advice, you can look into EDT forum, TW etc. All these groups have a varying level of skilled people in each of their respective website forums. But, before launching over to one, you need to have some education, and understanding so you can ask useful questions.
Good luck............. android is a great platform

99% of the time, all the "easy bug fixes" that you're referring to have already been addressed and resolved. I have been at this a while and have yet to start a new thread because my questions have either already been asked/answered, or I just figure it out myself. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with people asking legit questions, but members starting new threads about common questions is a little irritating and shows a lack of effort in my opinion.

My bad - accidental repost.

Yeap I see, thanks a lot. ^^

if you need help feel free to pm me, no offense but i dont like leaving my email address around especially with everything i use it for. I generally check my XDA pms atleast once a day, keep in mind that i don't have time to walk you through everything step by step which is where the noob guide comes in. However i will always be willing to point you towards resources that will either instruct you on what to do unless its an incredibly difficult topic in which case ill do my best to asist.
Cheers

make a thread, pm me, ask for my number w/e I'll help you out..

[Q] Where to Buy [US]

Hello,
I am very interested in buying this phone, however, everywhere I check, it is too pricy. I'm looking for the phone to be under $250; however, am having no luck finding one. Also, if you do provide a website (which I would greatly appreciate), please check to see if it can ship to the US. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong section. If nobody can find a site, please e-mail me if you are willing to sell it.

Thank you for your time.

I would get a Nokia Lumia if I where you.

Clone a phone due to bad USB port type C

So I have a LG V20 (T-Mobile),
A while back I was having alot of problems getting the charging port to work, the only solution I could think of was a new motherboard, the only place I found them for sale the cost was $130.
I then realized I had alot of lint and junk deep into the port, I successfully pulled this out and my port worked well, then I decided to get a magnetic charging cable, this allowed me to keep a plug in the port and keep out any debris. After a few weeks, my magnetic charger was having problems, loosing connection, slow charging..
I thought it was the cable, and purchased a different 1, same problems. My regular cable is working, but not perfectly and had to be adjusted a few times to get a fast charge.
I have tried contact cleaner and rubbing alcohol to clean the port, nothing is helping.
So onto my question,
I have found a used LG V20 in untested condition with no battery or back, it would be a bit of a gamble as to the motherboard/port being good.
Would I come into any problems either pulling the motherboard and swapping with my current V20, or would it be better to leave the motherboard and clone to that phone.
Anything a bit of a newbie would need to know?
thanks for any help,
Joe

I don't have this device but, I'm not sure which thread to guide you to since this is a type of a mixed topic question.
I would probably first try to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

How to sponsor a LineageOS port to a new device?

Hi all,
I've been using the awesome LineageOS and its predecessor for many years and on many devices. I can't imagine using a device without it.
I recently stumbled upon a yet unsupported Mediatek based device. I would really like to sponsor a dev to port LineageOS to this device for two reasons:
To (selfishly) use LineageOS on it
To contribute to the community after benefiting from it for many years
What would be a good starting point to find a developer that could offer this service as job (beside posting it here)?
If you are interested in this job pls PM me (preferably with your Github profile).
Thanks for your help!

I have never specifically dabbled in Mediatek but, I believe, the following threads may, hopefully, be helpful for you regarding this topic in general.

There's more but, I believe that this should, hopefully, give you a good start and don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them too.
Good Luck!

Thanks Ibuprophen!
Sorry, I was too vague in the original posting: As I don't have the capabilities to build an port by myself, I'm looking for someone I can sponsor to build one as a job.
Anyone interested just send me a PM, ideally with your Github profile.
