What Did You Switch To From Cyanogen? - G1 General

Just wondering? What did you switch, and stay on, from Cyanogen? What do you like about it over Cy, and why?

Super-D, Seems smoother,faster and also more complete. Also easier to install. Just flash one zip from recovery and it's done. On Cyanogen if I remember correctly there were two packages.
I read about it again, and I guess after the first time you install Cyanogen you only have to flash the update and not the base ROM, so it's probably not a big deal.
I just like to wipe before every flash, would that work with Cyanogen? Or if you wiped would you have to first reflash the Base then the Cyanogen?
And of course things like speed and smoothness is very subjective. I know setCPU has a 'benchmark' utility in the menu. I use it on Super-D if anyone wants to compare. Not sure if it would show any differences between ROMS, or if it's more of just a hardware and MHz thing.
Anyone know of a good Benchmarking utility that could be used to compare ROMS? Especially things like opening and closing and switching apps. And responsiveness of menus and swiping and scrolling?
I see this opening up a Benchmarking shootout of the ROMs! Could be fun. Especially as they are now getting mature, and most things work on all the good ones. Let's measure our ePeeners!

Enomther's "The Official"/Donut.
Stock with goodies.

I used to use Enomther's "The Official" for months. Used the latest release for a while before switching to Super-D. "The Official" is a very good ROM. Very Stable. And complete with lots of Goodies.
Super-D is noticably faster and smoother and less laggy. The official is a two-package install like Cyan.

If you wipe you have to reflash "DRC83_base_defanged" before flashing the ROM, but that's not necessary if you do a regular update using the CM Updater.

I agree, that would be cool!

I use Super D 1.8. Fastest and smoothest ROM out there. If you want to try it link is in my signature. And when I say I mean, way faster than cyanogen's. Swap on super D is on by default now so that makes it fast to faster. Its just the fastest and smoothest ROM out there. Haven't had any problems with the ROM yet. And by the way if you need to try it, you need the Danger SPL.

I was using WG Build, it was faster than Cyan and Super D (Personal Opinion) But then i found CSDIv1....its crazy fast and smooth.
My 2 cents.

All of the below are faster than Cyan
Super-D 10MB hack
WG-Y26
Enom
CSD
I used cyan once then went to Wes now ive been using SuperD for weeks
Cyan is the best for stability but....All of the roms here are faster than stock.

I disagree, I've found enom's The Official rom to be much more stable than the Cyan roms I tried. I switched to Cyan after JesusFreke stepped out of the rom game, and found it putrid, buggy and slow, not to mention that it cause my phone syncing problems that couldn't be resolved.
After I switched away, I had a much better experience on Enomther's rom.

Whats the fastest ROM currently available?

I'm running fresh 2.0d right now, but it seems to be a bit laggy..which ROM will give me the best performance/stability?
Thanks guys, love these forums
Um....hmm, can't really answer that one. I've tried like all of the roms out there, though I've never really had the same experience twice. I would just nandroid backup and spend time with all of them until you find the one that works best...

True, but I'm just looking for ROMs that people recommend/use daily that work well. I'm gonna try DamageR right now, I've already tried DamageControl and Flipz, so I'm gonna try some other ones and see how it goes.

SEARCH AND READ...that's seems to be the answer to every single post being made today. It's all here in black and white. One search I recommend in all honesty is search the word:
"BENCHMARK" and read the thread started by flipzmode. It's a really good read.
I heard that CakeButt.ClownPenis 1.3 was really fast!!!! Check it out.

I just spit coke all over the computer at school...thanks Kbizz.
RegawMOD is pretty good and the new FreshToast is also fast once it's setup right... I've tried just about every 2.1 rom available on this site and those are the ones I like the most.
I know it benchmarked the worst but as far as regular use RegawMOD 2.1 is the best and fastest running rom in my experience, that is also on the .29 kernel...
If you search for flipzmode benchmark you will see that all 2.1 rom all run about the same speed.
Other then flip/toast OC rom should run the fastest and its the only rom that will actually show a big difference in benchmarks.
Water it down like all the other "fast" roms and youll have one that is actually fast do to overclocked processor.
Its not made for everyone, and the camera isnt working yet (i have a feeling its not far away).

Hey no problem!! Bout choked myself when I first read it.. My favorite rom name to date!! Wish I could cook.....
This is hardly a scientific analysis, but I have been running DC, flipz, and Regaw's roms interchangably for the past few weeks, and today switched from Sense to the Helix launcher.
The biggest difference in UI performance came from ditching Sense...it was actually a noticeable difference in responsiveness
That being said, I don't think you'll notice a whole lot of difference between the individual ROMs with Sense, so base your choice on what programs/features each ROM has versus which is fastest...in everyday use, you won't be able to tell a difference, IMHO.
So I got DarchVanilla, and I really like it, but the market doesn't have all my apps.. Is there a fix for this yet?? I really like this one, it's very responsive and close to lag free.

+1 The reason I chose RegawMOD is because it was basically a stripped down rom. It allowed me the room to load the programs that I wanted without having to strip useless (for me) programs from the rom. Very nice, stable.
I've found that using Ic3Rom with some apps removed from it, the old OpenGL restored on it, and Launcher2 installed, it's incredibly fast. It looks like AOSP, but has the current stability and function of a HTC ROM. Give it a shot if you haven't
I've used almost all of the roms available out there I thing fresh works better, if u don't want lag you would hve to use aosp

+1 for RegawMOD being the best of the ones currently available that gives me what I want. I really like fresh 2.0d except that is was really laggy IMO too. I can't handle laggy, and RegawMOD doesn't appear to have any of that lag, and so far everything I need and want works just fine on it, including googlevoice, but I only use googlevoice for my voicemail, no idea about sending and receiving calls with it.

if i had to cast a vote, it would be a spin off regawmod(its the rom i built my current rom off) who is obviously the most direct desendant of damage control. that being said, i would personally love nothing more than to rock dcv1 all day(by FAR the most stable) ifffff-the trackball led wasnt a complete deal breaker for me.

Q: Rooted phone. Now what?

Okay, so I rooted my phone and updated to the latest SprintLovers ROM. It's nice but, I would like a nice non-senseui ROM. Either that, or a FAST senseui ROM. I think it just slows down my phone. I purchased ADW Launcher-EX for my rooted Nook and would like to find a ROM that I could possibly use that on. The best solution would be a ROM that maybe has sense but allows it to be deselected. With most sense based ROMs, sense stays running in the background even if you use something else.
Also, I would like to try overclocking my phone. I see some of the kernels in the wiki but, how so I flash? I currently use AR recovery but, I would prefer to use Clockworks for Rom Manager (since it is required). I purchased the license for Rom Manager but, it just errors.
Also, what are other good tools to use. I purchased SetCPU and ROM Manager. Are there other tools for rooted phones that are as important as those two?
Please forgive the noob style questions. I finally decided to root my phone even though I got it the day they were released. I am trying to get a little more life out of it, while I wait for Sprint to releaser the "next best thing".
IMHO CM7 nighties is by far the best no sense rom
CM6 is a stable release but CM7 (to me) kicks azz --- check it out & enjoy
Tools... everybody has what they like best. I can say as a 2 month (or so) rooted evo owner. Trial and error is the best way to learn. After that, everything you read starts to make sense!
you can always find help in the forums if somthing goes wrong
I personally like the Azreal X 4.0 rom which is a sprint like sense rom. and the SBC kernel. Which allows for over clocking. Look at my signature and search in xda for download.
MIUI is my favorite AOSP ROM. It's got the performance of CM, without the blandness.

It requires AOSP kernels, like any AOSP ROM. The one that it comes with is pretty damn good though, I have found no reason to use any other one. It's stable, I have had ZERO reboots, and fast as hell. 1700+ quadrant scores with no overclocking.

I'm on 1.1.28 and my camera works fine. I have never had any camera issues with any of the builds that I've tried. I have an older 003 evo though, I'm not sure about 004s.
I've tried Cm7 and 6 and to me 6 is quicker and more stable. Paired with savaged kernel v5 and you can't go wrong

I tried it. My quadrant score was only 1100 with it. I noticed that the kernel was overclocked in it but, setcpu was set to 1Ghz from my titanium backup. Maybe that's why. I didn't like the iPhone look-and-feel of it though. I went to warm twopoint and like it. I may play around with this one for a while.

Vaelpak 3.2, is it posible this could be the best nonsense rom?

I had what could be called a flashing rom syndrome, everyday was a hustle to flash something new sense or asop, whatever, and then I found the latest installment of Vaelek rom, Vaelpak 3.2 Rc1 nonsense. I have to say this rom has taken the need for me to flash a rom for a whole week now, lol, literally, a whole week! Now this Vaelek guy brings a whole bunch of goodies to the table with his new version of this great rom, among some of them are and not limited to:
The vealek.com website, just like other ROMs but with style, with a fast response to any issues that may arise, if any.
The VP forum app
The Vaelpak settings, these settings are one of the things I like the most, because right from there u can flash Kernels, themes or theme builder as it’s called, where u can mix and match icons and animations at your discretion, mods and patches, device settings, task and news and updates.
This rom also has a mix of sense and asop apps for u to choose from, the performance of this rom is excellent and battery life is way better than the usual (at least for me with nets 4.3.4 cfs more, setcpu 128-245 when screen is off) it last 16 to 22 hours depending on usage.
In closing this is one of the best ROMs sense and nonsense out there right now, with Vaelek leading the way to a total new experience in terms of stability and options build right in the rom’s settings, 5 stars from me. Give it a try!

This is the 3rd rom that I have flashed in the last 2 months. I can't recall what the first one was, but I came from Myn's RS5 prior to using 3.2 remastered. I've been using 3.2 for roughly 2 weeks and love it. Yeah I've had a few problems here and there, but most of it I think is on my part. I also found in order to get it to work right on my Evo I had to wipe everything twice. Not sure why, but it worked. The only other issue I have ran into is that clockwork recovery 3.x doesn't work right. Had problems flashing new roms because of it, went back to 2.6.0.x and worked flawless. Haven't settled on which rom I will be using yet. The stock rom works great, net 4.3.4 CFS NOHAVS NOSBC works ok. Just flashed net 4.3.4 cfs havs more sbc, gonna give it a shot
Vaelpak is a Sense Rom. It is based on the stock 3.70.xxx.x HTC Rom. The title says nonsense because he has taken out almost all the Sense stuff and replaced with AOSP. I tried it a while back and went back to CM7, but with all this new praise for it I may have to give it another try.

So many roms, which one and why?

So I am tired of the stock 3.1 firmware because of all the browser lag and random closes. Also the home screen lags big time when moving from screen to screen. I havent updated to touchwiz by the ota because I know most of time it messes with rooting.
I am very interested in the overclock 1.4ghz kernel, and just a smooth honeycomb experience.
Which rom did u choose and why?
Personally, I'm on a vanilla 3.1 ROM. PhantomHacker should release a new vanilla 3.2 ROM soon... I'm curious if someone else experiences your issues. I never had any browser lag or random closes and I'm a heavy P7510 user. Could you please post a site link that lags for you? I will try it on my tablet also and let you know.
I'm on the UK 3.1 TW and don't see the lag. If you're planning on rooting and flashing, then why not give the TW update a try out beforehand?
Couldn't be happier with KME Touchwiz and Pershoot 1.4 ghz. As smooth as butter

I've used both Starburst and Task650, and thought they're both great, the biggest difference I've experienced came when I flashed Pershoot's Kernel and then OC'd to 1.4ghz. So, no matter which ROM, make sure you flash that kernel.
Ok and just to verify, to flash a kernel - its just the same as flashing a rom?

Ignore him. He thinks the Tab 10.1 has a micro-SD card slot.
Task650's ROM seems to be quite nice. He doesn't go overboard with modifications, and he doesn't make outrageous claims for his ROM. I stuck with stock for a long time, and I'm running his TW ROM now and it has been good so far.
Bonsai should be avoided - Serious quality control problems, at least for a period of time USB host mode was completely broken in Bonsai, the ROM should never have been released like that.
Starburst - I haven't tried it and have no intention of doing so. When a ROM dev claims to have the "fastest and most complete Touchwiz experience" you know you're going to get the buggiest and least stable Touchwiz experience. The more a dev markets their ROM, the worse it will be in my experience.

Don't knock Starburst. Phantom made that claim about his rom when he first released it because it was one of the first to be released, and compared to stock TW, it certainly lived up to his claim. I've been flashing like crazy between his and Task's roms, and frankly, you can't go wrong with either. Only question is how themed you like your rom, and Task gets the edge there.

Why would you give advice on a product you've never used? Both KME and Starburst work fine. I'd suggest try both for a day or two to see which works best for you (backup with Titanum!).
Also, there's really only three custom ROMs, so there's not as many to choose from as you might think (KME, Starburst, and Bonsai).
Just by chance I ended up using Starburst before using Task650's KME. I used Starburst for about 3 weeks. Loved it.
Side note: I always use ADW EX so whatever launcher was in the ROM was irrelevant to me.
I loaded Pershoot's kernel and loved it even more. 1.4 GHZ. I thought I was stylin'!
Flashed Task's 650 KME V2 today. Stock kernel. It's amazing! Definitely the best. No contest IMO.
Flashed it for my wife on her tab, and she is super stoked. She is into the TW interface. She noticed the speed boost.

task 650's v2 is the fastest/smoothest tbh
Flash the 1.4 gz oc kernel (pershoots) over that and your a happy camper
I prefer tw based roms to vanilla only because the browser lag seems to be fixed in the tw updates

[Q] Recommend a good rom

Just got a Hero again a few after i got my old one destroyed.. Back then there wasnt even made a custom rom, so now im going to ask here.
What Custom Rom do you guys recommend ? I have tried allready tried ChocolateFroyo and SalsaSense 4 .. However none of these two roms seems to perform good enough for me to use..
Actually its not that i want that much.. I just want a Android 2.x rom with a good performance and OC kernel + HTC Sense.. I just tend to stick to the 2.2 roms because 2.3 has too many bugs and i've heard that the Android 2.1 roms still suffer from the Random SMS sending issue..
Can you guys recommend anything ? Thanks !
If you want performace, go Vanilla Eclair. If you want Sense and over 2.1, it is a bit trickier. You can try Herolatte, but if you think ChocolateFroyo was too slow, there probably is no current rom which suits you.

I haven't even tried out the Stock 2.1 rom yet.. Hows the performance on that ? And its not like ChocolateFroyo is slow, i just a lot of lag spikes.. Like its performing well enough but then suddenly it all freezes for like 15 seconds and then comes back..
I reccomend Kimera 3.0. Its almost as fast as Vanilla, IMO a bit more stable. I used it for around a month, and recived all my texts, and calls. Only problem is that there is no Apps2SD if you use Fly13 (It's the best kernel imo)

Gonna try that rom.. Just skipped it because of the extra steps when installing ! Not gonna need Apps2SD anyways as i only have around 7 - 9 apps installed
Well, kimera is nice, but it is Eclair, so if you're afraid of random messages... BTW I've never experienced these on any Rom. Seems it only affects some ppl
sent with love from me to you

Yeah i noticed that.. Not that big of a deal
I've tried loads of different rom's and the herodeck 1.3e from my sig is my favourite. I try others but keep going back to it. Why not backup your existing..... flash a new one..... try it out for your own needs and if it's no good.... flash something else that's been recommended or revert back to your backup.

Using Cyangenod released by Elelinux. It contains the latest android version 2.3.7 and is very stable. However this rom is in my opinion not very fast.
I've only really tried a few, sense roms are always slow with all the features. Try elelinux speedmachine running 2.2, I don't know of a faster rom, I haven't tried them all though.

I've always used VillainRom 13 - nice and fast with Sense. If you don't need sense then VanillaEclair seems to be the best judging by what I've heard. I used Elelinux's Gingerbread for a while and that was nice too, but I like Sense too much
Good GB rom
The decked again Hero CDMA ported rom is the fastest GB rom I have tried ALOT of them, so I would recommend that for you!
I use
I use Elelinux-7.1-Hero-Custom-v2 on a every day basis.
Works fine, no FC and quite fast.
I can recommend it.
If you want a fast, stable build I'd recommend Villain Rom since the hero was build to support Android 2.1 and you'll have sense. If you like new and improved and are no stranger to tweaking I'd recommend HTX zero rom wit Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5. Very cool and fast.I use it daily now.
VR13 and the new release Heroine++ are the fastest for the hero. (if you like sense to much)...if you like AOSP you go for a CM rom or others
for aosp i tested:
1.CM7 - CM team
2.Eles Rom
3.OMFGB - JieeHD

Can you explain, what's the difference between AOSP and non-AOSP and why should i like and care if it is AOSP or not?

AOSP (android open source project) is regular android with no overlay like Sense or TouchWiz.
Non-AOSP is android with an overlay like Sense.
Sometimes the AOSP rom is faster because there is no extra overlay.
It comes down to preference - look and feel.
