what are the differences between the liberated rom and cm 7 nighties? what are the advantages of the two and which do you prefer?
One is froyo and the other is gingerbread. I prefer CM7 I guess I got use to the awesomeness that is the CM projects.

I prefer liberated FR0008. I tried 6.1 and 7, however, I missed the HTC widgets that those two lacked. Also the cyanogen mod ROMs were laggy on my phone, just slightly but noticeable.
liberated also has sense and CM does not. LPP has most of the sense widgets though. I prefer CM7 by far over liberated. You just have to decide if you want sense or not. I couldn't stand the sense ui so I tried cm several months ago and never looked back.

it's a personal preference...if you want android for what it truly is, go with one of the CM builds...if you want android for what HTC cosmetically made it with their sense ui (i.e. pretty widgets and programs and this and that) then go with one of the liberated roms. There's no reason your phone should be laggy on any of the ROMs to be honest, so don't mind what that dude said about it being laggy. If it seems so, overclock it slightly. CM7 now has a built in overclocking utility. Basically, if you want customizability to the max go with a CM build. If you want to be restrained by HTC and what they offer, go with one of the liberated builds. As I said in the beginning of my post, it's personal preference.
oh thats awesome. i actually have been using cm7 and was just curios what other people prefered. im sticking with cm7 too. thanks for letting me know about the built in overclock, thats quite helpful since i had been using setcpu instead. works great but can you explain what the first three presets are: interactive, conservative, and userpace? i understand the next three but not those ones

I personally cannot but I'm sure someone can.
I know conservative just scales up a little less aggressively. Not sure about the other two you listed though. Setcpu had a description for all the different governors types though.

The OP asked specifically about CM 7 nightly (AOSP 2.3 Gingerbread) vs. Liberated . CM 7 is currently a Gingerbread 2.3 development project while CM 6.1.1 is the official Froyo 2.2 AOSP project release. Liberated FR series is also Froyo 2.2, but it has HTC Sense instead of the native Android interface.

No...CM7 is built from the 2.3 source. What brswattts released for CM6 was THEME, CM7 is AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) 2.3.

as easy as this phone is to unroot and re-root. I most likely will, to see how it is.
I'd try it, but I would end up back on cm7.
To all the users that are on CM7...would you recommend it to me as my main ROM especially since I use my phone for corporate use ie Touchdown/Exchange? I'm currently on Iced Glacier 1.6 and to tell you the truth, its like stock and boring except for the overclock kernel.
And if you recommend, which CM7 are you using? Seems like there is alot of variations, ie nightlies, alphas etc...

Sent from my rooted glacier running CM7 and grankin's oc kernel
Considering the subject of this thread, does anyone have knowledge of an upcoming 2.3 OTA and when it might be pushed?
i would totally go back as well but sense = no bueno. its just way too bulky and i'd rather use something ASOP style. been on the CM7 nightlies for a few days now and its running good. i even get the updates via ROM manager premium
So in currently running Iced Glacier 1.1.6 with faux's 7.8.2SV kernel. And it seems really smooth and good on battery. But lately iv wanted more and iv been contemplating on switching to CM7.
Has anyone made this same switch and not like CM7? Or absolutely loved CM7?
I really just don't wanna flash and get it all set up only to come back to the stable and efficient Iced Glacier.
Just askig for personal preference or facts. Whatever you wanna provide me with.
Thanks in advance.

Trust me when I say this most of us jumped from IGv1.1.6 to CM7NB. IG is the best stock 2.2 rom but as project is halted by silence CM7 (2.3) took its place. Once you switch and set things up you will never go back to 2.2 best advice for you is flash the newest NB and since you like faux's kernel use his CM7 kernel or you can use dumfaq's as its more stable. I just watched to v1.3LV today as I did full wipe and did fresh CM7NB#8 flash, it's worth it as in long run you will like it.

You arent the only one that has asked this question...see the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965593
and here is my quote from that thread
i continue to keep flashing between these two roms because i just cant decide which one i like more...they both have the pluses and minuses but even those are very minor and are personal likes/dislikes...such as maybe a button location or theming...all which can be solved by 3rd party means
both run really well...i think cm7 runs better out of the box while IG runs better when you've flashed another kernel like Faux's latest...cm7 is also nice to not have the need to run a 3rd party app to control OC'ing IMO
i keep going back to IG cause it seems it fits the "look" i want more so than cm7 currently...it also feels a bit more natural than cm7...but at the same time i love messing with cm7 to learn gingerbread and learn whats to come for our phones
i think once cm7 hits RC2 or its full stable release ill switch to it full time when i can get a nice theme for it and get it looking and feeling the way i want
honestly you cant go wrong with either rom...if you want sense and good rom thats feels like the stock rom with all the bells and whistles of what roms add...go IG...if you want the latest and greatest that runs like a champ out of the box and is nice and simple AOSP but with a ton of features on the back end...go cm7

yeah i sorta felt the same way as you about cm7...but in all honestly its pretty damn stable for an in development rom...the devs have done an amazing job making sure its as stable as it can be while tweaking and refining things as they make new nightlies
also if you are want to maybe change the colors of the stock cm7 around a little...i would suggest the colorized version of cm7...as it takes away from the green and blue that in synonymous with gingerbread and cyanogen respectively
colorized version of cm7: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14513-colorized-cm-7-for-glacier/
as for kernels...i always ran cm7 with the stock kernel...had good battery life and it ran great using the built in performance setting in the cm settings...but i havent heard anything bad about Faux's kernel either...he makes great kernels and works hard to do so
I am the one who started the other thread wanting to know the same thing...so far, there are pro's and con's to each. It's just all a matter of preference.
Personally, I don't like how on CM7 my phone will just up and reboot a lot. I also can't get themes to work when I flash them. I like having visual voicemail because I'm getting a lot of recruiting calls each day.
But CM7 is amazing! I currently stick with it, though I've swtiched from the RC build to the nightly build.
Alright thanks. I guess onto cm7 I go.

I am testing his kernel v1.3LV ATM as we speak on CM7NB#8 as I virtually used all kernels in CM7 and IG. But far as dumfuq's kernel goes I was just giving you alternative as you are not be flash addict like us and update everyday and you maybe device dependent so you may need balance between stability and performance so use dumfuq's SmartCMKernel. As you know Faux is very aggressive in his update in stock kernel which is very good as I been aware and following his project since day 1. But if you venture in to CM7 just like IG you have built in OC kernel but if you do want you can still use dumfuq or faux kernel. He actually never flashed or used CM7 as he has stock based ROM in his MT4G as he wants to make SR revision for it and then switch to CM7 based project hopefully. So till than you can wait as it honestly makes no difference I used both kernel and dumfuq's seemed best for now which might change when faux venture in our world, so don't worry about it.

Well if you want to use upto date CM7(GB2.3.2) you can use NB (Nightly Build) then flash the current one from the repository as its always changing almost every night. Now it don't mean you want to flash it everyday but if you want you can like NRG as we flash addict do but you can also use RC (Release Candidate) which is little older build but there are no current SR (Stable Release). So but don't be fooled NB is what you should get as its what we all use.

In simple word NB is current upto date builds with more patch than RC as it was older build. Now that being said there are more people who use NB than RC, so that says something huh? NB is the way to go.

I digging it too. Had to switch the font, but otherwise, TB is hella responsive. We'll see how the battery life is after a full drain and recharge.
IMO Its all about preference. You gotta ask yourself if y like stock android or sense (among other overlays)
Personally. I havent experienced a rom smoother than Ice Glacier yet. I was surprised since CM7 was less than half the size but smoothness was way behind Ice. IMO Sense roms are more optimized for our chipsets since thats what HTC works on most so im Sense all the way
It really is all personal preference. Especially with a phone like this with so many options the differences in performance are going to be nominal. I personally love CM so that's what I am running. There are people that love sense and there are ROMs out there for that. A better thread for you would have been things you are looking for and we could suggest the best ROM suited for your needs.

Well as you know Sense based rom specially IG is not actually full rom as it just modified and comparing to current CM7(AOSP2.3.X:GB) its 1/3rd of the port size. But as IG heavily depends on Sense based framework it will be little smoother but you can make CM7 smooth also IDK what people talking about it lags as if I even run at 368mhz(max)/245(min)/ondemand (gov) I get NO lag.

Last I heard the CM updater for Rom Manager Premium wasnt updating for some reason but it could be fixed by now. That was yesterday. Unfortunatly I only have the free version and it only allows for DL of CM7 RC1 so i cant confirm if the other is working again.
Lol that's what he was talking about? How hard is it to grab the current build from CM repository, it takes just 1 sec. I have cURL.d setup on my server it grabs it automatically within 1min as I set the eCrawler auto updated every min.

Really depends on how you want to style your phone. Do you like Sense? Do you want a vanilla flavored rom?

+1 / with carlos2384 ... Jaywan's Nexus S is hands down my favorite ROM so far on this device. Jaywan - udaman! I'm pumped about v2.2 for Nexus S !!
...I did just flash the new Liquid Metal port (RoyalLiquid) and it's quiiiiiite interesting and unique....since it appears it's froyo based, I'm not sure it's gonna steal my heart long term from the Nexus S ROM but at least for now, it's REALLY nice to have options!! (especially when they're as cool as this)
Thanks again Jaywan, Royalknight6190, and TeamRoyal !
I am currently trying ThunderBolt. I like it. I came from Iced which was giving me all sorts of funny business.

Just want to test the XDA waters and see what gb sense rom people like the best? Asking because I've come to realize I prefer the sense infrastructure (i.e. camera, dialer) but at the same time prefer LPP as my launcher (smoother and more functional imo). I love the sense 3.0 lockscreen hence wanting a gb sense rom, so I can push the lockscreen onto it.
So basically what is the lightest, smoothest gb sense rom?

You can just look in Developers section. RoyalPanache is based on Canadian Glacier release - that's as stock (and thus bug-less) as you can get. And it has all the Sense 3.0 goodies ready, too. Any ROM derived from that release is functional.

Shalom my brother Lol yeah I'm quite familiar with the dev section, just thought I'd ask for peoples' opinions...sometimes it's easier than flashing 10 different roms, though for sure the only way to know is to try it oneself...
I'm on virtuous fusion now, and while it's great, I'm thinking a 2.1 sense rom will leave more ram available, which is my primary reason for switching away from the 3.0 fusion...plus I've been getting spotty data on this rom, so I'm hoping I'll get stronger results on something else.
Royal Panache. all is great, fast, smooth and haven't ran into any problems. Wifi data speed is fast also. fast ping and fastest download was around 19.33 mbps.
I love Faux123's Orange GB, he basically just took the canadian/panache release and sped it up a bit. I was running his Orange Glacier before all the GB releases and it felt like stock on steroids.
The only issue I had was remapping the genius button to google search, he moved the google search app to a user app, so I just had to make it a system app and everything was great. The HTC Sense 3.0 camera even works on it, and I couldn't get it to run on raffy's insertcoin (which I like, also) or virtuous (another amazing one).

Ok guys, back to working on DragonMOD. What we need to know is how many people would like or would mind if we switched to a CM7 base. Some of the features that we want to implement would be 800x easier on CM7 base vs Stock base. Also I would like to clarify that this doesnt mean that the 2.2 kernel will be dropped, I will personally maintain the 2.2 kernel but the ROM would switch to CM7 and there would be a CM7 based kernel aswell. Please feel free to leave your opinion aswell. We dont want to abandon 2.2 as there are still those who need the barely but functioning GPS of 2.2, but as it seems for this project the Samsung base just doesnt cut it for the ROMs goal.
PS: oops on the typo in the poll XP

Idk about that, but I just want to say again, the ROM would be the main thing switching, I'd still be working on the kernel for 2.2 and a 2.3 kernel
If you were able to make it more battery efficient I think I would make the switch. I really love your kernels so it might be worth it.

That would be part of the goal, but I'd also be maintaning the 2.2 kernel so even if you didnt like it thatd still be an option =] This is all up for debate, if the consensus is to stick with 2.2 we will, if its for CM7 thats the way the rom and kernel will go with the 2.2 kernel being a side project of mine
Yeah if it were more battery efficient then go on ahead. Until then toxic 8 and dmz nightly kernel 3 will be my daily driver.
