Hi all,
Can someone try the web version of vimeo (http://vimeo.com) and compare the speed to iphone browser? Mine seem terribly slower than the iphone's browser, especially the transition between pages.
I'm running the cyanogen room 5.0.5.3 if that makes any different.
thanks.
Just compared it with my Co workers iPhone. My browser us quicker. I'm on Enomther's ROM if that helps.

Interesting. Is it a smooth transition? I flashed the Enomther's room to see what's up. The transition is still not as smooth as on the iPhone browser.
I tried the website on the iPod Touch 3G btw.
Cyanogen changed the javascript engine, this in the changelog:
* Disable V8 in Webkit and switch back to JSC due to app incompatibilities
V8 was apparently much faster, so if that site is javascript heavy.
It stemmed from some app called Epocrates not working with V8.
I'd rather have V8 if you ask me, the last version to have it was 5.0.5.1-N1
Is there a working 2.1 ROM for the G1 which has Live Wallpapers with minimal battery drain and also something close to running at a fast speed with GPS/camera/maps/streetview etc all working?
At the moment I'm using SuperEclair V8.2 by XxKOLOHExX and it's fine and all, but the system slows down to the point of becoming near unusable when Live Wallpapers are on - not to mention the huge battery drain. Are there any ROMs which have such issues corrected?
Thanks in advance~
I'm using superD 1.6. I would change to 2.1 if there was something as fast as 1.6. I have yet to see an eclair rom to match the speed of donut.
It's been a while since I've used a 2.1 rom, but when I did, I didnt notice any battery loss from the live wallpapers. From what I know, live wallpapers doesn't even run when your phone is off/sleeping. LWP's turn back on when your phone comes back on, so it's not constantly running.
edit: That didnt really answer your question =)

Hmm yeah that's true - I don't mind if it's not as fast as donut, just as long as it's not really really slow. The 2.1 ROM I was using had great features but it was just too laggy for me.

+1 for Open Eclair. I used it for my everyday rom for months with no problems. Recently switched back to SuperD out of boredom though.
Ohhh, cool. Looks like Open Eclair is the best way to go. Thanks!
latest open eclair or kingklick's ASOP 2.1 v1.9
Cannon 1.2 with 3d patch 2.0 is fully of fc.
SuperEclair v2.4 or v3.0 I suggest v2.4 with Extended Pack.
Kolehe beta 3.0 Rom. I bet theres no Eclair rom faster. flash and see for yourself. But no LWP's though. And you shouldnt be asking for a fast eclair that has minimal battery drain and complain about something slowing down and your using LWP's.
OpenEclair 1.3.0.1 is very feature-complete, stable and the "no 3D" version is fast enough for daily use. The 3D version though is slow. I've missed several phone calls because it takes that long for the phone to wake up and show caller ID.
The OpenEclair devs are promising improvements on that front in the upcoming 2.0 version, so I'd try that out when it becomes available.

is there anything that does not work yet in OpenEclair, such as video capture, camera, SMS, etc?
I have an original MT3G (using Cyanogen right now) if that makes any difference.
Sorry because of the extremely late reply man :S but...
I think you DEFINITELY have to try this ROM if you wanna know what's speed and reliability. It's based off the official aosp ota for the mt3g (my touch 3g) and tweaked out to run flawlessly on the G1

HI!
Awesome!!! I'm thinking about change phone because it's too laggy but this ROM makes all the diference! Thanks for the suggestion.
Now i only have two questions because i had Cyanogenmod and it has Power Control in the status bar like the samsung galaxy i think and i can also change the number of lines and collumns my desktop has, and chage the weight of the widgets.
Anyone knows what can i do to make that things work in this version?
THANKS!!!

I can't wait for someone to reply to this thread in six months time and be all 'Dude, you gotta check out this honeycomb ROM, it runs amazing on the G1!!' and everyone else will be all 'lulwut?'.
Have had Super-E, but changed to BiffMod.
BiffMod is faster on my G1.
Greetings
Braaaaiiiiiings.... mmmmm... BRAIIIINS!!!
The one I have now is blazing fast, I use from cm4 to cm6 and this thing maybe best so far I have use, no fc and bs since I got it, fancy looks but still maintain good speed. But not sure about juice, my battery is extended one like 3.7 VDC 3000m monster battery so it still last me good 10hr+ even everything is on......
Waiting for good sense mod. ;-)

Ive been running Cannon202 rom its pretty quick but ive seen faster..
What's the fastest and most stable rom out right now?
Its a matter of a opinion i know
SuperBad is faster, but i like Cannon's better.
Naa use chromatic 3.5 its super fast and really stable it even comes with set cpu so u can over clock u should try it its really good
If you want to go fast then sadly you might just have to downgrade to donut and go with SuperD. There is a speed loss on eclair as compared to donut, but I like eclair so much more...
another great donut rom is superfast v1.3.3 fastest rom I've ever used

Thanks for the recommendation!
CyanogenMOD 5.0.8 is pretty quick.

Cyanogen 5.0.8 is actually very stable but very slow. atleast to me it is.
Ive tried SuperE, Cyanogen, CaNNoN202, SpeedTeam and Chromatic Eclair roms. And so far Chromatic seems alot faster than all those roms.
SpeedTeam's and CaNNoN202's roms are decently quick and stable.
But SuperE had to be the biggest disappointment.
I've been using cyanogen and didn't think it was worth it to try something else, since most things are just built on it. I'm about to try Chromatic though.

Yeah I highly suggest it!
Tell me what you think.
I like it, its colors go way better with the way I have my widgets and stuff setup.
I don't like the lack of apps menu button on the launcher though, and would prefer normal icons instead of the white shapes.
Also it seems like every single thing installed on the phone is running when it starts up.

Yeah I don't care for the Apps menu button too, it doesn't bother me too much though. You should try LauncherPro its just as good.
Yeah as for the apps running in the background I highly suggest downloading Advanced Task Killer and turning on Auto-Kill. It saves a grip load of battery life.
I'm using Cyanogenmod-5 For Dream/Magic - Mean Lean Pastry Machine - V5.0.8 (06/19/2010)on my G1 and it's fast.....
To get the nexus squares back on the launcher on chromatic, install the latest system version of the ADW launcher (0.90) by pershoot. You do loose the cool symbol on the search bar and the highlight on the squares is back to orange, but everything else is the same. .86 is installed by default.
Edit: the link: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=680
jubeh's AOSP 2.2 is pretty fast. no OC and no swap needed. camera and gps aren't important to me so i will be using this as a daily driver.
The last couple of days, ive been trying to decide for myself on this exact topic. I suggest SpeedTeam for Eclair (its super fast and battery efficient; almost a full 2 days with light/medium use wwith close to 17% left on charge).
Jriv is right though. if you want fast, downgrade to superfast 1.3.3. Its rediculous how fast it is. by far the fastest ive used.
I think that Chromatic 3.7 is the best and the fastest software for G1 by now. Also there is no errors in it, lots of theming and CM goodies + gapps + preinstalled apps like EStrongs File Explorer.
Are we talking about 2.1 ROMs here? Or any ROM? Because I have yet to find a 2.1 ROM with the speed of a 1.6 ROM.

I have been running SuperD 1.9.3 for a week after using SuperE for a month. I honestly notice absolutely no difference in speeds averaged over time. Some tasks that are slow in Donut (web browsing) are faster in Eclair (task switching) and vice versa. I don't generally play any games or do any CPU intensive stuff, so I can't comment there, but for basic, everyday tasks, they both seem to perform about the same.
Battery life is the only thing that keeps me from using Eclair full time.
Preparing to flash "Darky's Raw Steel Edition v3.0" i went back to JM9 and played around for a bit, for nostalgia's sake.
And then something crossed my mind...
"Damn! this is fast!"
Even without a lagfix or overclock, or even anything custom, JM9 is so much faster then the froyo releases we have currently...
The startup animation is actually an animation not a slideshow
Scrolling is no longer jumpy and laggy, it once again, tracks your finger like it should
The internet browser is no longer a useless pile of S*%t, i forgot how damn good the eclair one was, no longer do i need opera mini
The music player no longer lags when scrolling through a large song list, and it no longer freezes up when playing in the background (! wtf??)
Touchwiz scrolling is much improved
Launcher pro no longer lags, especially in the app drawer
We have more ram, without having to resort to gutting potentially vital VGA buffers
Im sure i am going to find some more... after using JPM, JP6 and JPA for a few weeks nearly now and not once being happy with performance, i have flashed so many custom roms, tried every filesystem on universal lagfix, voodoo, alpha overclock and ram mods and still i am not happy one bit.
Sure we may have a higher linpack score, we may have a few new features, but the performance and experience has not improved, and this is what froyo is supposed to be about!
I cant believe how much Samsung has messed up, we have been waiting months for this!
There, i said it...
Anyone else care to share their opinion?
I would stay on 2.1 JM9 if only there was a kernal with the universal lagfix (jfs with startup tweaks) + OC + Memory Tweaks.
Ugly truth. Only thing better in froyo is newer version number.
Oh. And stereo FM Radio.
And..
Version number?

You may not have JFS but you have voodoo, there is raspdeeps OC kernel, and to start with we have more ram anyway and (seemingly, well, the broswer doesn't take 120mb now atleast) better memory management
Eclair feels like a polished engine
Froyo feels like a polished turd
I was all for froyo simply for the flash.... then i found out how ****ty flash was. The only flash site I go to that was good was Youtube. All my other flash video sites were complete crap (i like to watch livestream/ustream starcraft games on teamliquid.net and it was unwatchable with sgs flash.)
Infact the browser is ridiculously better in eclair.
How much ram does it take to load pocketnow full desktop version?
Froyo: 120mb+, followed by a memory dump, allot of lag and a FC
Eclair: 30mb, yeah, 30mb, with smooth pinch to zoom, and no lag
I totally agree, JM9, then I've put tayutama super lite 1.2 for eclair ofcourse, along with voodoo lagfix and Bln. Its the best i've found so far, and i've tested all others, but none is so good as the JM9 config i have.
Why are we bothering to go to froyo when we can have a very good eclair rom, which really is super fast, without any lag, extremely stable. All is perfect in here. I've even got setcpu to 1.2ghz. And i got quadrant scores of 2085, at times 1895, it but its between 1800 and 2085. So, its really good.
Now, i don't really think the benchmark is what we should rely on. What we need to see is the everyday use, and i must say its Perfect, the best ive used, and im loving this phone more and more. And now i can even use live wallpapers, its not even slowing my phone, whereas with all froyo rom, it was slowing my phone a bit.
Guys, try Jm9 with tayutama superlite 1.2 with voodoo lagfix and setcpu. Forget the froyo roms, u'll be disappointed.
Yeah that is what i was using before 'upgrading' to froyo, i really forgot how good it was...
Unless some dev (cyanogen, desire hd port, not counting samsung as losing faith...) pulls off something amazing with froyo i really see absolutely no reason to go to froyo.
The browser even benches the same in browserbench, ~28,500 no mods
Its really strange because in certain benchmarks froyo is a fair bit faster, but none of it translates to general usage
I've been unwilling to change to Froyo ever since hearing about the huge amount of memory used by the browser, and corresponding FCs. I'd like JIT and Flash etc., but it really does seem like Eclair is better at the moment.
Flash in JPM is terrible, when you scroll the page the flash box isn't even anchored to the page, it jumps about. looks really bad
its almost impossible to scroll the screen once you are over a flash box, it just doesn't register
Whilst I agree that eclair is better at the moment, I have to wonder why this thread is in the Dev forum. i9000 General is that way --->
nobody reads that forum!
agreed i installed darky's 3.0 froyo rom and its ok...
like yall are saying its not better by any means... as a matter of fact my data now is giving me problems... and market place too...
my questions is how do i get back to eclair? whats the best 2.1 rom out right now?
JM9 + Voodoo = Blazing Fast! : )
Tayutama jm9 + oc kernel (with voodoo) + noop scheduler
It makes jpm its *****
Lol

Yeah i have to agree with you all.The performance in froyo is simply disapointing.I dont expect the final release from samsung to be better.Im only staying with froyo because of the great work made by some devs with the universal lagfix.I will try the official when its ready.And probably after that i will return to eclair.
Yeah I definitely appreciate all the work done by the devs here, if only samsung were half decent at software...maybe we should petition google saying samsung is ruining androids name, give us some love too google!
But I thought there was no official froyo for galaxy s yet?
I don't believe that, Samsung obviously released it on purpose then withdrew it after people complained about phones bricking with the OTA, and how bad it is.
Either that or someone must have got fired for uploading the source and the rom onto the kies server
I'll have to respectfully disagree. I was pretty disappointed with Froyo initially, but my current config is a speed monster.
Kalpik's JPA ROM (pre merger with Doc)
ULF No-RFS advanced e4 (selected option to not backup, so wipe after lagfix)
All kernel tweaks
Minfree at "optimal"
The browser specifically is faster than eclaire, I have no doubt about that. Even with full facebook pages open, it consumes something like 10 to 20 MB.
Contacts, dialer, MMS, mail, everything opens instantly and scrolls very smoothly. Before this, (and several disappointing froyo ROMs) I was on JM9 + Tayutama + Voodoo, and I can assure you this feels just as fast, if not faster (browser is definitely MUCH faster)
Hi everyone,
I'm using Trigger rom for my phone. But Bi-winning rom is already issued. Both of them from EDT, and i like them. Just now, i'm so confuse to choose Trigger or Bi-Winning. Please tell me the suggestion. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I was using Trigger before I got FFC, then I switched to Bi-winning coz I don't need to flash more mods to have the FFC support.
Frankly speaking, I can't really tell the difference in terms of speed and power. Both are smooth as butter, fast and gorgeous. Just pick the one you like.
2.2.1 rom's are nice, and bi-winning is my fav of them.
That said, I'm reverting to Trigger as it's 100% perfect. Others just seem to have hiccups, for me. I can't stand the browser showing transparency when scrolling on bi-winning (maybe just me?)
While I'm still more than happy with Loki, I'd like to hear what else folks, who have tried these two EDT ROMS, have to say about them too.
What are the differences between TeamWhiskey's Bionix 1.3.1 and EDT's Trigger?

For me, Trigger is more smooth and way better on battery life.
Bionix is nice, but it has a sturdy feel to it instead of smooth, might just be me tho.
Trigger gets updated constantly, but when there is an update to Bionix, it's usually something big(thats what she said).
Thank you for your feedback. Its time to try Trigger...
Bi-winning's browser (and probably every 2.2.1 browser, I imagine) is hardware accelerated. So it is faster than Trigger's when it comes to pinch zooming, scrolling heavy websites, etc. It has tiny little glitches, mostly dealing with pages that pop up non-maximized, but I rather deal with that and have the way faster browser than the other way around.

Interesting, i really disliked the browser on Bi-Winning... just seemed glitchy to me. Never noticed it on Trigger or CM7.
I want to talk about battery life and smooth. Which is better than? Anyone tried? Just tell me your opinion.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
It works great for me. If I go to engadget.com on a 2.2 browser, the full site that is, it lags a whole lot when scrolling. even the forums here at XDA, the main forum view, lags a lot in 2.2, but it is a lot smoother in 2.2.1. Other sites I can think of are as.com, ablogtoread.com, among others. A blog to read is pretty much unusable in 2.2.
I used trigger for a while, and it is as good as 2.2 will get IMO. But 2.2.1 is worth it for the browser alone (save for the one aforementioned glitch, the pages that pop up when you click on a link, but they are on top of the previous page, which are pretty glitchy).

I've tried them all, and so should you.... you and your phone are going to determine what is best. From what you said, I would try Trigger first.
I'm with bi-winning for the browser acceleration. I prefer trigger because I don't have a front facing camera but right now the browsing experience is keeping me on bi-winning.
I might try some of the other 2.2.1 offerings and see if that have that annoying ffc buttons all over when I find the time.
Bi-Winning has Chinese Language support which I prefer but in terms of perfection still Trigger is better.
Bi-Winning is still new compared with Trigger but I bet it will become one of the favorite vibrant ROM among the rest since the uniqueness of it is Chinese Language support.
For all people using the stock browser regardless of the version I highly recommend you check out Opera Mobile, the new version that came out it a huge improvement. It has hardware acceleration and much smoother than the stock browser for pinch to zoom and a lot of features that IMO should be included in the stock browser.
As far as roms go, I was using Team Whiskey roms (Nero 5 through Bionix 1.3.1) almost exclusively for a while, tried Trigger which was pretty good, but had some minor issues. I've flashed Bi-Winning v2 and I think it's the best of the roms I've tried so far. Of course YMMV so I'd try them both to see which you like better.
