cronas froyo,fusion-rom,froydvillian and FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v1.2 [11/08/10]

i just tried all of them
here's my quick review of all four. Firstly I think they're all really pretty great and far better than we ought to have on the hero.
I found froyd 1.1.9 to be less finished than the other two using today's builds, but that makes sense. froyd 1.1.1 was quite finished, 1.1.9 is prerelease and uses very bleeding edge previously little tested kernels and other files.
I found froyd to be very unstable during first and second run, had lots of little issues and even reset itself once. BUT after that it started running properly. also the 1.1 kernel improved things some, and the 1.2 kernel did seem to fix the crazy clock. Some things were amazing - like how fast it played demanding 3d games. other things were subpar, like app compatibility, app installability, gallery3d, and just simple finished-ness. that last point is to be expected though.
I found fusion to be, well fusion. at times I've thought it was best. right now I'm not so in love with it but it's a really good product. I don't really love the aosp-ness of it though, but I admire the dev's work and his decisions along the way. it's very good and totally road worthy.
cronos as it's also really finished and seems to run faster in general use than froyd yet has more of the features I want than fusion does. Also every app I throw at it works and it's super stable and reliable. and it's still nice and quick for 3d gaming etc.
FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v1.2 just flashed and its Awsome its gona be tight idk i will review it more when i come back from =) DW =)

thanks, nice quick and to the point, i was gonna try cronos froyo anyway but good to hear the opinion of someone who's tried all three.

first of all, this is in the wrong section.
second, i have tried the latest builds of chronos or fusion, but im running froyodvillain, and its great, really fast, stable, no fc's after flashing correctly, im really looking forward to 1.2

but yes, maybe this should be moved to a different area?

i think it is in proper place, as a user experience of roms. dev section is imo better than general hero discussion, as a feedback to devs and other ppl that're looking for best choice, bcause it is strictly about rom releases, not general bout device.
what i can say - since ninpo's 1.2 kernel, froyd 1.1.9 is a damn good product (probably further more we will get in froyd 1.2, but whatever will be - will be).
after proper flashing (with wipe of absolutely everything), it is extremely stable. no fc's, speed really impressive, great compatibility etc... also 3d is cracking!
(had the same issue with unstability and fc's, when flashed without wipe ext, also was much slower than now, after full wipe).
and what is probably best - again teamvillain was absolutely first with new updates (camera etc), other roms are always couple of days after TV.

I always wipe fully before flashing, it wasn't that causing the issues. I was one of the first to download it, could be the original 1.0 kernel that I flashed after the rom before first boot, but it wasn't user error. However as noted it improved dramatically after the first couple of hours of use, flashing further kernels increased stability eventually too.
it wasn't as peppy in the user interface though, and I actually find that the other devs have more frequent updates than team villain does, but they all update quite effectively.
Villain's an effective group - no doubt about it. I actually found 1.1.1 to have the best battery life of all the froyos, so it will be fun to see what happens over the next little while!

Moved to general with expiring redirect in place. Dev is really only for technical development of new roms.
This thread has remained very civil, so credit to you guys. Let's keep it that way. A lot of rom comparison threads turn to flames, let's make this one the exception.
Also, anyone wanting to flame here, don't. Treat this as your warning not to.
Thanks.

The kernel works great on 1.1.1 too
Just a fyi
I had some trouble with my alarm... gonna see if it works tomorrow, otherwise I'll be late for work. Other than that, it's just great.

[Q] [POLL]Which Gingerbread Rom are you Running?

Hi
Since there has been lot of activity in the Development of Gingerbread Rom for our Heroes( thanks to the wonderful Dev's).
Just wanted to find the popular as the days go by

good call
it does make sense to do it this way
I'm on ele right now. cronos is great but a couple of bug fixes still needed before I'm 100% happy. ele's is quite amazing. want to try tasty but waiting for known a2sd fix and I'm unfortunately not a fan of almost pure aosp. Some cm things are really useful like notification bar power widget etc.

wow over hundred views and not much votes... is it that people aren't using gingerbread roms?

I think I just wore out everybody's voting fingers in my all encompassing rom poll started a few weeks ago.
hahaha

I tried CM7, elelinux and TastyGinger and honestly i am gonna switch back to froyo. Within first hour or so, ROM works pretty good but as soon as i sync with Google (for contacts) and send/receive some text messages, keyboard slows down, my messaging slows down.

for now none ... waiting for a good custom rom, the final version.

I'm waiting for Feeyo to come back with his kernel in Cronos GB rather than Flykernel.

wow - ele's gb is great, totally finished feeling. tasty's pretty amazing from what I've read. cronos is possibly the most complete and really great too. cm nightlies are iffy as always - they're nightlies and that's how nightlies work - but beta3 or whatever his last official one was (lox) was pretty cool.
time to weigh froyo's speed but constant market issues and older features versus gingerbread's great features but slower UI speed.

I've used CM7 but it got lag too much xD....

you should really try cronos ginger instead of re-posting somewhere read bullsh.t. i'm using CG1.0.1 since it was released and there is no single problem at all.
which market issues are you talking about?

I'm back on cronos. ele's gps let me down big time for some strange reason (app locked up, couldn't quit, restarting phone bootlooped LoL).

I used the Elinux 2.3 and its great..
The Tasty is faster but the screen resolution still not compatible with beautifull gidget...
So i return to elinux!

Ele's hasn't let me down at all, only problems i had were due to me xD nice and snappy, stable. ^^

I have used 0.9 cronos and ele's one like bot of them but I seem to have issues with Gingerbread roms in general
Basically after a while the bottom keyboard Keys dont seem to work , an I have to press really hard. or not work at all
But works perfect If I flash original 2.1 rom so am back on the official ROM
But if new rom comes out I do a quick adb root and try em I love the excitment of rom flashing

uh oh. gb might get warmer which is showing teh beginning of a touchscreen hardware issue with your phone probably.
definitely stay away from hot running roms on that phone

I have used the 5th and 9th nightlies of CM7 so far. Build 5 was slow in some areas, particularly with LauncherPro (I removed ADW because I honestly don't like it), but it was otherwise usable in day-to-day situations. Build 9 is significantly better so far; the only thing that would make me completely happy with it would be fully-working on/off animations (if it's possible on Hero hardware).

I wondered why there is no further development on the camera function for GB. I had tried the latest Elelinux GB and then Cronos GB. The camera pictures captured were just terrible (colour almost washout)! Camera on Froyo is still fairly good and very useable. Otherwise, GB really offers something nice for our Hero. Too bad for the camera (on GB), I'm back to Erasmux's Floyo again.

Elelinux is by far the best GB ROM.

I think Elelinix is great enough.........

Using the brand new Cronos Gingerbread 1.1.0 (the non animation version)
Sooooo fast now.

Making the Leap - Stock - > Cyanogen: Let's discuss

Hi Guys,
I've been with Android since truly day 1.
I lived with my G1 for a long time and together we endured lots of roms. Cyanogen is what most always ran on my G1. Finally, after all the bugs, slow downs and issues, I got a nexus 1 and kept it stock. It's been an amazingly unfrustrating experience and I truly fear any cooked roms.
I do however, have some gripes with stock android. One of the biggest is the lack of permissions controls in apps.
Today, I read that cyanogen is implementing permissions blocking at the app level on the nightly builds. I am VERY intrigued and want to give this a go.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...port-for-revoking-and-faking-app-permissions/
So to everyone, how stable is cyan compared to stock 2.3.4? Is it still the same old buggy, bloated, incomplete rom as it was, or have they been able to keep it light, stable and full of extra features?
Please let me and the other readers know!
Thanks!

I love it right now.. before it was bloated and totally incomplete and now they got it working pretty darn good you asked at a good time! but for some users.. still causing issues. For some like myself it is perfect right now absolutely no problems I took a while to stick with GB because of all the problems with CM7 I had an htc magic which was pretty similar to the dream and I understand most the problems you probably faced. I've tried a bajillion cooked rooms myself and ever since I moved to the nexus one I just stick with a few (I tried so many on the magic it was my first android and wasted so much time -_-) I would suggest you give this one a try it still has extra features but most of which I find useful

It makes it noticeably snappier and battery life is better. 99% win (wireless LAN reception is a bit worse). I went from stock 2.3.4 to CM7 and am kicking myself for not doing it 16 months ago lol. Maybe there were issues with cooked Roms earlier but the n1 is a mature platform and I haven't noticed any major issues with cyanogen 7.03, of course YMMV

I have been running the nightlies for weeks and they have been very stable for me. I have not had any significant problems and really like using them. #85 put the permissions blocking in yesterday and I tried it with a few apps. Seems to work fine. I liked stock rom, but personally could not do without trackball wake and lots of other wonderful features in cm.

Once you go custom you wont ever go back to stock.
Make sure you understand how to flash a custom recovery and how to get to it first.

he said he had cm on his hero so he must now about custom roms..
i think it is currently very stable and good apart from the wonk issue.

CM7 Nightlies have been gold for me. Except couple bootloops. I'm on #83 now with data throttle removed. I love my Dinc

I have been running CM7 since shortly after the official Froyo was released from Google. I had to send my phone back for the powerbutton and so I rooted it right before and tried out one of the CM6 nightlies. It was amazing. The features in every subsequent version have only built on the quality of CyanogenMod. I have been a nightly user ever since (although I only flash nightlies every week or so).
It has been extremely stable for me and I have converted a few friends (most recently a friend with the Desire HD) and they don't know how they dealt with the stock crap for so long.
So in short, give it a shot. Do a nandroid beforehand if you are worried, as then you can go right back if you don't like it.

You can only control the permissions on cm7 nightlies. That feature isn't available in the stable release I believe.

cyanogen 7 starting at nightly #74 has introduced some new bug fixes which greatly improve standby battery life, so that now idle current with screen off is 3-4mA. its so good now, that you can leave your phone unplugged over night for 8 hours and only lose like 3% battery. and this is WITH wifi and email accounts turned on and syncing.
this makes the nexus one like a brand new phone and turned it into a proper normal device in the sense that you can now rely on superb battery life. you know that when you arent using it and the screen is off, when you come back to it you will have the same battery percentage as when you left it.
its a no brainer to use the nightly just because of this alone.

Ever since the 2.3.4, I've been happy with the battery life and fixes with the GPS. Currently my uptime is 190+ hours without the usual sluggish response that requires a restart.
Running CM7 I found more random issues from the call quality being distorted and random reboots, to other random bugs that I need something stable.
Sent from my Nexus One

i often go 550 hours between reboots on cyanogen.

ROMs... bugs... where to go from here?

Is there any true bugless/very minimally bugged ROM out there? Tried CM6, CM6, Evervolv, and some others. I'm talking something that can be fully fixed if there are bugs in it, or is there a ROM that will basically be a stock evo with the sprint garbage removed from it, i was wondering maybe I could stick a savagedzen kernel on it and get some better speed from it as well with bettery battery life. I know there is a fresh evo but I don't think that this ROM gets rid of the junkware sprint puts on? Since quadrant scores and the like are mostly useless I'm beginning to even wonder, are you "truly" getting any more speed out of a custom ROM over stock without getting bugs?
Right now I'm on CM7, everything is wonderful, of course except for the bugs. The random 3g -> 1x for no reason, making the internet not even usable. The random mini-lockups/terrible lag that I can get, etc are all just too annoying to deal with when they pop up. It's irritating when I go to my friends and say "here check this out, this thing has more battery life and as fast a he-...oh well actually my internet on it is bugging out right now and the lockscreen I have to really quick reboot for etc etc." What's the point of speed if these sort of things happen, you know? All of the flashiness of gingerbread is starting to urk me with all the bugs it brings, I haven't tried a froyo mod except for myns, I don't remember what kind of bugs I had in that, if any. What's the best way to go from here? Maybe give CM6 a try again and put SZen kernel on it?(I only ever tried it with stock) Thanks for any opinions/sorry for the mini text wall.

Newsflash: CM7 is buggy, and has always been buggy, hence the ever updated releases.
If you want a ROM that's as close to 100% stable as you can find, try the bigger Sense ROM's....

Are there any very stable AOSP ROMs? Especially gingerbread? Or do these only truly become stable when the real releases are out for the phones? Because If that's not the case, why not just run stock, you know? What's the real benefit? The only reason I rooted in the very beginning was to get rid of the junk Sprint has attached in the beginning. I don't mind sense. However ever since I've rooted I've been on a speed/battery hunt thinking I could get something majorly different. Is it even worth it? What is CM6 like with savagedzen for instance? Because that's what I'm thinking of trying next. Or are all AOSP going to have pretty hefty bugs with them one way or another due to the nature of them?

So far the new ports of the Shift roms are solid as a rock. Misfits for stock. Kings for some ultra themed ones and Zone23 for blue.
Give them a try you won't regret disappointed.

Try Misfits Speedy Port. Pretty stable with Sense 2.1. I'm making a rom based on that one that is stripped down, but not allowed to post dev forums yet

What are you gaining over a stock evo, though. Compared to this?

Years ago the phones were slow and bloated. You could install custom ROMs and actually notice an increase in speed.
With the phones coming out now they are already fast and if you root to look for a speed increase you might not notice much. You will notice all the bloatware gone though.
For a stable ROM I would look for a 2.2 Calk ROM or ones like that. They may not have been updated in awhile but that's because there isn't much to add or change. Everything works.

What about myns?
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.

See I don't understand why the call them "release [clients?]", and then release a "full version", even when the full version is still buggy with devices. I stayed away from CM7 for that exact reason until they finally got the full version up. Once I stuck it on i was enjoying it so much but the bugs are just too annoying to deal with anymore. Can't even show off with it because of them popping up at the dumbest times and then it's like yeah so much for that awesome phone hack. I might go try myn's again or CM6, not sure. I just want the stock apps gone, and I want a stable environment. Speed is nice too. Being unique is nice, when it doesn't have huge drawbacks.

The more and more I think about it I don't remember having too many issues with myn's, so I may try that out again. Not sure. Is there any way to get that gingerbread lock off/on animation? That is something I'm really after, along with the gingerbread keyboard too.

On the sense side, I've found Koni's elite series III to be flawless...I'm currently running ava's ginger sense and haven't had any real issues with it either... can't go wrong with either of those.. just my two cents..

No smart phone to date is bug free. Cm7 stable is best in my opinion and that 3g/1x bug you speak of isn't a bug but cm7 actually giving you the accurate data speed in the area you are in.

What recovery are u using amon 2.3 wipes fix most issue.when flashing like crazy I haven't had any issues with the roms . Sense or cm7 work fine. Try Elite 3 , Kings out of this world. Um to many to list. Always do a full wipe when flashing new roms.

I know there isn't a "bug free" ROM or phone. But in terms of crippling bugs, CM7 at the moment for me is horrifying when I'm trying to show it to others especially.
As for the 3g/1x bug it is very real, and it's the worst. I get 1x for no reason inside my house and outside on occasion, it will then switch back to 3g if I restart the phone, or wait [sometimes an absurdly long time] until it fixes itself. I've not had that issue with any other ROMs, stock evo, gingerbread ROMs, or anything of the like. I've reflashed completely fresh with and without the GPS fix, with savagedzen and stock - no difference. Maybe it's just my phone, regardless though, there are so many people asking for help on different areas of CM7 it makes me not want to bother because it is not a truly stable rom for Evo for a lot of people. The battery charger bug I can deal with, mine lags to high hell when it's on the charger - that's something I can fix within an instant and not have it bother me. As for the 3g/1x, the random app mini freezes, the lockscreen not wanting to come on sometimes unless I hold down the button much longer until I restart, and other things of the sort, i cannot. It's not worth the flashy menus, and really the battery life is nothing near a froyo ROM, not even close. (I don't expect it to be).

I use amon 2.3 as well, and I always full wipe after storing a backup on my comp (complete full wipe)

I played with my friend's stock unrooted evo yesterday and no joke, the thing randomly rebooted in my hands while doing nothing special at all.
With that said, any rom here is more stable than stock, but try SavageMod 1.2.1, most stable 2.3.3 I've tried.

I have to endorse Koni's. I ran it for over a month, until I flashed Giger today to pay with 'til Koni releases v.IV
It's not overly themed, perfectly smooth and everything I needed to work did fine, and not one FC the entire time I ran it.
The setup in my sig is how I had it set up. The only difference now, of course, is the ROM

I like sinister for stability, its V4 now and I can't think of a single issue with it.

I always like ava's ROMs for fast and stable - Z4 isn't quite their yet, but give Z3 a shot.
No GB on/off animation mod as of yet, but you can add the GB keyboard to any ROM. There a quite a few diff ones from the themes and apps forum.

Gotta jump in here for some input...
If you just strictly want Sense, I was always a Myn Warm Two Point Two guy.
If you can't live without the screen off animation, Deck's Gingerbread is by far the way to go. Yes, it is built from CM7 to an extent but Deck really does a great job taking care of problems. There is a stable 1.0 and beta 1.2(x). Everyone likes CM7 because its popular and known, but honestly after using CM7 for awhile and then jumping to Deck's rom I will never look back.
If you want to remove the bloat from a stock sprint rom don't forget that you can always just do it by removing the apk's from your system with root explorer or through ADB.
How to through ADB:
--adb remount
--adb shell
-- cd /system/app
--ls
-- Once all the apps show up, you just type: rm <insert the apk name here.apk>
--reboot your phone and BAMMMMM!

Favorite Jellybean ROMS

Which ROM do you feel works the best for your Vibrant? Of course this is a matter of opinion, which is exactly what I want to hear. I'm running CM 10.1.3 right now and enjoying it. At times it can feel a little bit sluggish but I don't know if it's the ROM or my phone. I'd also be interested in hearing about your experiences with battery life in each ROM. I've been thinking of trying CyanAOSP because it's less cluttered and I have a hunch it would be more snappy.
Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules, I just wanted a really recent thread comparing the strengths and weaknesses of all the recent Jellybean ROMs. This isn't a question thread, it's more of an opinion thread.

I'm using CM10.2 build date - 10/15 for a day now. Have no problems. Everything works fine, including GPS after ds. Battery drain is normal.

DS is DeepSleep. Its a state in which the phone uses minimal battery and thus the battery is saved.

I just saw that you were using CyanAOSP. How would you compare it to CM 10.1.3 and 10.2?
Also, do you know where I can get the 1.75 ROM? I've heard the 2.0 has problems.

been running cyanaosp 2.0 since its release and its been fine beside a few random reboots, but im sure it was cause i had my device oc'd to high. this rom is perfect for me as i play alot of games.

Hi all,
New member of the forums, but I've been reading as much as I can about my Vibrant (Fascinate?) and I'm still kind of confused as to which model my phone really is. It's a Telus model sgh-t959d, but after flashing CyanAOSP 3.0.0 for the i9000, my phone info shows model GT-i9000. I understand there are similarities between these devices, but I was a little nervous about bricking my phone by flashing the wrong ROM. Well, it was a painless process that took less than 2 minutes! I upgraded from PassionICS, which was a good ROM, but kind of laggy. After a day of use, I can say CyanAOSP is much quicker, more refined and more fun to use. The customizations offered by Nova launcher are quite extensive and make it feel like a new phone. I highly recommend this ROM! Many thanks to the hard working devs!

Anybody have kernel recommendations to get more battery life out of CM 10.1 or 2?

Im using CM 10.1.3 stable, think this is a best and stable ROM

I was using one of the CM 10.2 nightlies (10/25 specifically) for about a week before giving up on some serious battery drain and background android OS data usage issues... First time I ever exceeded my 5gig threshold pushing me down to slower speeds. Also USB data transfer simply stopped working after about a week... couldn't even mount via recovery.
Ultimately had to get new ROM files into my phone via the microSD/USB adapter and internally transferring to the internal directory.
That said, CM 10.2 itself is a very pleasant experience if you can avoid such issues - In hindsight I'd strongly suggest giving it a try but with a build that's known to be stable and without any such major issues if you intend to use it as a daily driver (the 10/15 build has been recommended more than once in my forum trawling). Lesson learned!
I made the switch last Saturday (6 days ago) to SlimBean Build 2 however, which is also based on 4.3.1. By comparison to my last experience, this has zero issues falling back to deep sleep, even after loading it down with all my favorite apps and sync settings. I've had one random reset to recovery in the middle of a phone call, and gps performance has been hit or miss so far, but otherwise there's a lot to like! Battery is back to respectable charging intervals and background data is in check. ROM itself is very zippy. Lock screen by comparison to CM 10.2 seems slightly sluggish to respond. I'll likely be sticking with this for a while.
