All the roms accept modaco's have problems!

All the roms accept for modaco's have problems, small or big they just annoy me.
Just wanted to get that out of my system.
I don't mean to offend anyone! Especially not the devs I do respect your work. This is my opinion.

Other 1.5 time? Your not comparing Modaco with 2.1 are you?

All .

I just flashed the new Cronos Rom ( 1.4.1 non-oc) and it's great.
What issues do you mean? Maybe this Rom is a thing you should try

Every ROM other than Modaco and Kimera8 are laggy, buggy pieces of ****.

cronosdroid v1.4 is an amazing rom! lightning quick and zero errors so far ad have been using since release.

i use vanilla eclair 3.0 overclocked at 653 runs perfect for me, no problems found at least for me till now.

Why overclock?? Just try CronosDroid and you'll discover a new world...At 518 degr...ERRR...Mhz! Smooth, fast and with a JIT versione! Overclockable (but fast as hell at 518 Mhz) up to 720 Mhz! Linpack is 3.6/3.7 MFlops and 3D is WONDERFUL (31 FPS Neocore without sound and 26/27 with sound)!

So you start your post saying you don't need an overclock then go on to say how it makes everything so much better. Sort your head out mate.

superhero, sensehero (not tried build 4 yet)

id recommend villainrom but only once the new rom has been out a few days and all the issues have been found and fixed. Its lightning fast, has all the features and used properly can give you amazing battery life. I charged my phone to 100% took at off at 11am sunday morning. Made a few phone calls (nothing major) sent a few texts, played about 10 minutes of games and used tapatalk for 30 mins. Battery on Monday evening at 9.20pm is 65%

Uhm.. maybe because Modaco's custom ROM is based on an official build (including an official kernel)?
Once an official 2.1 build from HTC is out for the Hero, all the problems (small, big and the ones that annoy you) should be gone. All the recent 2.1 ROMs are ports (ROMs which are designed for other phones), of course there'll be bugs.

I suggest you try Cronos, I assure you, you will not be disappointed
I was using Modaco for 3 months before switching to Cronos, haven't looked back since

I now revert from this opinion.
CMH is the best rom i've ever seen, I had sense disabled on MCR. But this is just to good to be true. A clean android phone no crappy HTC ****. Just clean android goodness
I LOVE THIS ROM!!!

It's "except" not "accept" .....

Greetings folks,
Just getting my say in but i am more than happy with SenseHero B5.1
I have tested a lot of roms from 1.5 to 2.2 and keep going back to B5,
I THOUGHT that a2sd was not working but then removed my sd card and apps gone,
Plugged the card back in and apps back so guess its working ok,
From first install all working great Mobile network / gps / wife Ect,
And there is a lod of mods you can get for the rom also,
No matter what rom i put on it never lasts longer than 3 days or so and i am back to SenseHero again,
But as i said thats just me,
Regards
Steven

froydvillain 2.2 v fusion rom 2.2

currently running froyd and am happy with it just wondered whether someone has experience of both if so whats the differences between the two and which is best overall? Not interested in overclocking or anything really technical. thanks

I know someone will say it, so I might as well be first. Rather don't ask people, but instead grab a copy yourself and test it out. It's really based on your own opinion. Each ROM works differently for others.
With features such as nandroid backups these days, there really isn't much of an excuse for not trying out alternative ROMs. If you like it, then keep it. If not, then nandroid back. However, with that said, I think both are on par with eachother and both have achieved outstanding results. It really breaks down to the small things, which you'll need to experience yourself.

ok thanks 1 problem though cant see an option to download the fusion rom?

At this stage its kinda like comparing apples with worms in with pears with worms in..
Yes its different fruit but the bugs are the same..
I haven't tried either so feel free to shoot me down but the reason for this is that I feel devs are focusing on getting everything working (which is a good thing). But because of this I feel theres not really one 2.2 rom that particularly stands out..
I'd love to be proven wrong though!! still rocking out on cm6 nightlies....

both are same
i had fusion first and later came fryod so installed fryod expecting abetter but was really disappointed because both rom turned to be exactly same, same problems in both rom just looked like fryod was a copy of fusion just a different name. now i see fusion got update but fryod is still with same problem.
known issues-
camera is only 3mega pixels
no camera preview and force closes.
crashes when u try to view a flash video
no live wallpaper
no touck key to answer a call.
thiese problems are with both fusion and fryod

CyanogenMod 6.0 is the only Froyo ROM there is, and Fusion and Froyd are each tweaks to the CM6 base. Until CM6 is finalized or Feeyo releases his Froyo-from-source ROM, they're all essentially the same. Villain probably has some kernel tweaks, and Fusion too, but all the bugs are all going to be there.

Some more respect to the real developers.
I suspect your ROM will just be another compiled-straight-from-source-and-nothing-else ROM, right?

Hehe, I guess he got a reputation? Please let my previous comment slip then

Not necessarily, and 2: you misunderstood.
There are a few talented devs around, and I don't understand why everybody's copying CM's work.
CM is a great dev, but what pisses me off in the Hero section, is that everybody's ripping his work instead of trying to get it work on their own.
Innovation, make your own path, NOT imitation.
@orangeclanz:
I've checked your previous posts, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you're not really the best placed to comment whatsoever.
Secondly, nobody forces you to try anything. Just stop *****in'.
For those interested: I've finally fixed an issue with some keybindings; I will upload after a few final touches.

Well... I cannot stand the never ending begging for money from Villain and nprussel....
Villain is something like a tabloid newspaper for roms......

anyway, back on topic.
for me, difference is:
fusionrom 2.2 update 4 works great. really solid now. aside from borked camera, once you receive a phone call the trackball light notification works, the froyo-style apps2sd works (with the included cyanogenmod6 improvements allowing any app to be pushed to sd that way). it's very fast (4.5 to 4.7 linpack for me stock withotu the software overclock kernel mod). apps and games run amazingly well on it. has an issue where system.process.media (or similar) fcs after a while and after trying the gallery. I think that might be a gallery issue and maybe will be fixed soon, I don't know though. saw the same issue in froyd once but not again later?
froyd 1.0 works... ok, but it's slow. it has very nice features, the ext partition apps2sd support is nice to have (no manual file moving needed). however there are reasons to like manual moving as well, I'm a control freak, good to let me decide where to put it. but this ext parition method is certainly easier, really fast and transparent. nice. however the kernel is slow, 3.5 linpack (slow for froyo). also lots of random slowdowns. experimental kernel flash works really well and is very fast (got 5.1 linpack at 729 mHz on my phone). I did encounter some issues, not sure if it was my clock speed (which was always fine @ 729 on 2.1 roms but could be the issue still with jit froyo pushing it harder maybe). issues were google nav and some 3d games just quitting without warning and without fc messages. just quitting. google nav was serious, I was driving and it was just... gone after a few minutes. game was annoying, was playing monopoly, 20 minutes of playing, then just gone with no record of gameplay :-(. again that could be my cpu speed setting though, haven't tried further.
both ahve borked camera and no video (since video is just a recording of the screen preview... why on earth can't they write a REAL video recorder for android on the hero??? it should be possible... stupid screen capture video...)

Having tried both Froyd and Fusion, I went back to the CM nightly builds. The 20/07 build is pretty much there with everything except the camera and fb sync working. Have sorted this by using camera magic and syncmypix.
for me, this one is fast snappy and definitely the best 2.2 around currently.

@adwinp. U right.I'm not in position to comment here.so do u. Pls show some respect to other dev. As a dump user here.I do appreciate and respect all Dev works. At least I don't called it CRAP.

Well, then just don't call it CM-crap..
Yes, I agree that there are way too many CM-Mod-mods arround.. And they are all the same +/- some apks.

Once, more, you're misinterpreting; crap was related to the CM-rips, not CM itself.
I hope I made myself clear.

by the way, this thread really should be about which is better between:
froyd
fusionrom
cm-nightlies
the cm-nightlies are, imho, ahead of the rest. but they're nightly builds so you take a big gamble when you grab one and install it. However if there is going to be a successful camera fix my bet is that it will come from the cm-nightlies for hero team.
Just saying.... but for me I'm running fusion until some major progress happens from... someone
cheers

There's no mention of me asking for money, nor have I charged for any release. There's no begging, whatsoever infact. I mention it in my sig - but who doesn't?
I am a bit fed up of all the bad-mouthing I'm getting around here recently. We've not ripped anyone off.
We're in the process of making some pretty major changes/fixes to FroydVillain, and one of our developers is currently re-compiling a Froyo ROM from source - ie, pure vanilla.
As for which ROM is better... they're different. When we release our new kernel, expect over 5 mflops at a stable OC of around 748 Mhz.
Test them both, but before you make a judgement on Froyd, test it with the new (fixed) kernel - which is significantly better than the one Lox released. Ninpo over at the VillainROM forums will be more than happy to explain what makes it significantly faster if anyone's interested!
Anyway... less hate is definitely required around here

[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.

ROM reviews

Please vote this thread to be in the front page, as i think this is important... thank you!
i'm making this thread for the people that say "hey! lets see some user opinions..." those users are right... most of the devs put "super smooth, ultra fast, smooth as butter, bla bla bla... some of them are right, some of them are way over reacting with the speed saying "i'm sorry i was drunk when i made this ROM" (no offence devs), as some ROMs are just too slow to work on...
Virtuous Unity: I've spent 2 hours downloading this ROM, and spent 30 minutes seeing it, then ending up flashing back to another ROM... the lag was too much... i didn't install anything, and my cellphone was lagging like a celeron CPU running Crysis 2
MIUI.us: this ROM is best for its performance, stability, and look... its really the best in performance comparing it to full ROMs (not bare-bone ROMs)... spent 2-3 days with it... great ROM... Recommended for basic "rooters" for the people who are new to rooting stuff, flashing ROMs, etc...
CM7.1 (stock): this AOSP ROM is good for people who want performance, look, design, and multi-tasking... although there are mods to make it even better... I recommend this ROM for new people who want to get familiar with "tweaks" and stuff...
Virtuous G-Lite: this ROM combines AOSP power, and HTC's apps... its super fast, super smooth, but lacks of customization comparing it to ILWT CM7... spent litterally 10 minutes with it, then came back to ILWT CM7... so its not a big review... btw, i see virtuous i think sense ROM, i don't know why this happens to be AOSP...
Virtuous Sense 2.0: this ROM is the best sense ROM yet, it may be offering that old sense 2.1, but its proven that htc desire z will never run sense 3.x smoothly, without some tweaks made... But this ROM offers sense look, as well as moderate performance comparing it to other ROMs... Still, its so much better than stock unrooted ROM... Clocked at 998MHz, it has a score of 2604 in benchmark (AnTuTu)... Until now... Its been less than one day that i'm using it, it just sucks the bettery really hard... Battery just went down from 100 to 90 in 1 hour standby.... It maybe me... But thats my "adventure"... Lacks customization compared to ILWT CM7... Someone once told me: "dude! People buy HTC for HTC sense... Theres no point of buying HTC and ending up replacing sense by AOSP... That's breaking the whole point of HTC cellphones"... And you know what? He's right!
ILWT CM7 (current) : i have tried all of the other ROMs and ended up reverting back to this bad boy for it is the best ROM/MOD i have ever seen... clocked at 1GHz, this ROM runs smoothly... everything is customizable... every pixel... best ROM yet! I ran a benchmark (AnTuTu) in it and got a score of 2950... and i had a 51 seconds boot time the good thing is that it's a full ROM, yet fast... you don't get that in every ROM...
binDROID sense 3.5 : without any tweaks, this ROM is awesome in look, but its a total fail in performance (talking WITHOUT tweaks), after i flashed the ROM, i rebooted, waited for about 5 minutes to let the phone finish his work (that's a lot!) I thought after 5 mins the sense UI could be a little smooth (at least smoother than virtuous), turns out, this ROM has even more lag than virtuous... What did the dev think when he implemented some graphics tweaks, that actually killed performance? one of those tweaks were this:
when i go from window to window (ie in the settings) i get massive lag, why? I noticed that the transition between every screen is actually a glow of everything written... So, eveyrthing typed in the previous window glows, then goes to the other window...
I might have to do some tweaks to it... Then, hopefully, post a good review... Benchmark (AnTuTu): 2598 (that's bad!)... used it for 1 day... then reflashed ILWT CM, the big daddy
BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid: Words can't describe how awesome this ROM is... All other sense 3.5 ROMs say "smooth, fast, performance"... But this ROM actually is smooth and fast... It offers all the good looks of sense, yet good performance... Definitely better than binDROID ROM... Got a benchmark of 2616... Which is slighlty better than virtuous... spent 2 days with it... and then back to ILWT... i'll probably melt my emmc chip soon this is one of my best recommended sense ROMs here...
RCMix sense 3.5 blue edition: although it has a really bad benchmark (2571) its not as laggy as all other sense 3.x ROMs... strange? I'd say... Even without any tweaks, i get 100MB free of RAM... Thats good for multi tasking its heavily themed to provide a tasty look... its a medium performance ROM... i can't wait for more development to this ROM
MikRunny Sense 3.5 : This is without a doubt one of the fastest sense ROM i have ever seen... Proof? This ROM score 2710 in the benchmark... No lag whatsoever... Whats good is that it's look is original... The look is not modded, but looks like stock sense 3.5... And that battery bar tweak, nice touch... Been waiting for it... I say good work for the dev... Keep up!
Although i'm saying this ROM is cool, this ROM is fast... i keep reverting to ILWT because of the speed, all sense ROMs lags and freezes... some are better than others... but at the end, AOSP rules them all!
Virtuous Quattro: three letters... ICS... its android 4.0.3 ported from htc desire s, although its in beta stage, camera doesn't work, hardware keyboard backlight has some bugs... it score 2239 in AnTuTu benchmark (thats... good, for a beta...) it has the stock launcher (no trebuchet)... its smooth, fast, and full of animations... nice job devs! blew my mind! this ROM have some huge activity going on... devs are working hard to improve it, and makes me wanna learn all about making a ROM... awesome!... its not stable and i don't recommend it as daily driver ROM...
EDIT: i want to note that the quattro review was on BETA 1... some fixes has been done since beta 1... cam now works
COREDROID Desire Z: while offering the sweet sense 3.5 and android gingerbread 2.3.5 its not so fast, not so smooth, and its really, really unstable... (Dunno why) every app i enter force closes... Even native apps... Scoring 2656 in the benchmark (AnTuTu) its somewhat bad... But better than some sense 3.x ROMs
Virtuous affinity: FINALLY, after months of torturing, and frying emmc chips, i finally switch to this ROM... and i must say that this was the WORST ROM that i've tried... sorry devs, lots of devs have put effort on it... but come on! "ultra smooth rosie" is way off... i know you can't wait for benchmarks results... but before that i want to tell you that when i was making the benchmark, the phone shut down and wouldn't turn on.... so i took the battery off... waited for about 5 mins.... tried to turn it on, and it didn't... i thought it was a brick (dunno why!) but i abused the "bug" in CWM, and connected the phone into the charger, it booted to recovery, then i restored my freshly made ILWT backup.... so i never did make a successfull benchmark... seriously, it sucks.... but that was just my experience..... maybe i wasn't lucky enough... maybe
Android revolution HD 7.0 : offering stock sense 3.5 look, feel, usability... All those are stock.... And full hardware acceleration support, it is blazing fast, super cool, awesome looking, and stable... Enough chit chat.... AnTuTu benchmark scored a whopping 2839!! I'm begining to loose hope in AnTuTu because no ROM could challenge ILWT's benchmark, specifically sense based ones.... thats my new best sense 3.x ROM
InsertCoin ROM: as awesome as this ROM is, it has some weird things going on... I had problems with the superuser app forrce closing and keep telling me it needs su binary update, when no update needed really... Another thing was the running processes in the settings-applications... It says its using 50MB of RAM... JUST 50? It can't be...
I know this ROM is kinda dead, but wait... It scored an amazing 2663 AnTuTu benchmark.... Better than virtuous sense 2 which people are obsessed with.... Its so smooth, fast, multitasking is great with it... People complained about battery, but after updating su, its so much better... Awesome sense 2 ROM
LeeDROID sense 3: you won't believe how much this ROM scored... It scored a frikin' 2866!! (even higher than ARHD) While offering stock sense 3, it has some awesome tweaks... And i like the speed of it... Strangely, i find the normal tweaks better than the ultra smooth rosie tweak... It has 150MB of free RAM while using the multitasking option in the supercharger script... But one problem is that it has major launcher restarts that the dev didn't solve it while installing the ROM... I managed to manually put "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" code into the /data/local.prop file to make it stuck in RAM... But other than that AWESOME ROM!!
EDIT: been having launcher crashes lately, so i moved back to ILWT (again!)
BeatMod Supremacy: It offers the great ICS operating system and the light sense 3.6 launcher... Its strangely responsive comparing it to AOSP ICS... Htc really made a good job... Other than sense it has the usual ICS bugs (cam doesn't work at all... Some bluetooth bugs...) But hey! Its a beta, its good for a beta... I'm keeping it as dd for now... AnTuTu benchmark scored 3185
other users ROM Opinion:
Nagash91​
My review are based on comparison with original HTC sense ROM from HTC, updated to gingerbread and sense 2.1.
I give the vote "7" to all features in standard DZ rom (stability obviously = 10) and from that I started to make comparison with other roms.
MY VOTE SYSTEM:
- battery life = .. well.. battery life of the phone using the ROM !
- reactivity = response capabilities in any situation. Vote down if there is some lag in some standard situation (make a call, listening miusic while sending sms or looking in contacts and so on). This is very important in some extreme situation, for example when you are late and you have to do something with your phone, like check some information by a site and text a friend in a short time, you are under pressure and if your phone does not have a good response you go mad.
- multitasking = capabilities of using a lot of services and heavy programs switching from one to another without lags (more free ram = more multitasking capabilities)
- functionality = useful and cool stuff that the rom provides. For example CM provides a lot of useful stuffs like power menù widget customizable, power menù statusbar, DSP Manager, font size editable (with spare parts), mms phone and contacts apks customizable, volume-buttons-skip-song function and so on.
- stability = The vote is 10 if the rom is STABLE. The vote falls if the rom suffers of random reboot, or force closes.

Excellent ROM: Is the cyanogenMod based ROM that I LOVE. Have more battery life than cm nightly/7.1, more free ram (-> more multitasking ability) and more reactivity.
It has also the MIUI camera that I love.
If you are looking to CM features and TMobile AOSP lightness, this rom is for you!
I don't like the graphic personalization in launcher pro, but it can be edited easily.

Great ROM for customization
The votes do not have much validity with this rom, because I changed the original settings using virtuous OC daemon and other stuffs.
BTW I was using ILWT kernel.
This rom is the CM rom that allows you to customize everything easily, with a simple text file. It has also a new kernel by ILWT.

The BEST ROM with standard android GUI (no HTC customization), but suffers from a lack of features! (because it is standard AOSP android, so no power widget menù, no personalization in mms / telephone / contacts /camera apks.. ecc..)
It is the lightest ROM, the best for battery life, the best for multitasking that I have ever seen!
battery life: 9
reactivity: 9
multitasking: 9.5
functionality: 5
stability: 10
based: TMOBILE AOSP
android: 2.3.4
------------------------------
Mini MI 1.12.23
Good MIUI rom! better than original MIUI rom because is lighter and have more functionality.
MIUI roms don't have good capabilities for multitasking.. the program are heavy for ram consumption, for example only the music program use more than 20mb of ram vs 10 of AOSP roms. BTW the programs have beautiful visuals, and have more functionalities than CM programs.
battery life: 7
reactivity: 7
multitasking: 6.5
functionality: 9+
stability: 9
based: MIUI 11.12.23
android: 2.3.7
For now it's all. I have tried a lot of other roms (sense based) but I have to decide the votes and what to write. I'll put in some days.
( I'll treat the physical appearance of the thread in the future, if people like this idea! )
thank you for reading this... if you have any comments, feel free to post... i maybe wrong in something... but that's just my opinion...
future reviews: none... for now

yup ilwt is boss.... but i have gotton 4k before on a rom at 2Ghz

Posting quadrant results (an outdated benchmark... VERY outdated) should be frowned upon. Get something modern like Antutu or Nenamark...

I like a fast ROM with rock solid reliability and no glitches or force closes and everything works as it should + crazy long battery life!!
I have tried every ROM in the OP's original post, but my all time favorite and daily driver is G-lite 1.07 with some additional optimizations of my own.

Any sense 3.5 is not smooth on its own, but you need to apply mods like Rom cleaner and supercharger script, swap partition and after applying all these mods, I've ran all 3.5 roms like virtuous affinity and rcmix3d butter smooth.
Talking of unity, I've ran it without lag without any modifications.

Good thread.
Just wondering, in your opinion which of these roms you reckon meet the following criteria:
CPU: clocked to 1ghz
Nice graphic design - nothing bare boned otherwise I'll get bored of it very quickly
Leaves a bit of juice in the battery after a long day
(I realized that increasing the CPU and asking for a rom with nice graphics is not going to so much for the battery but thought I'll throw it out there anyway)
The reason I asked is that after nearly a year I'm getting bored of my HTC Desire Z which is currently running stock gingerbread: 2.3.3 and Sense: 2.1.
So I would like to put a new rom onto it based on the above criterias.
Also this will be new to me as I have never installed a custom made rom on the phone before. So yeah, I'm a noob.
cheers and apologies if I'm highjacking this thread....

i recommend CM7 (stable... NO nightlies) for you... since you are new at this: CM7.1 (not the nightly) is the stable ROM, fast, almost looking good (you can get themes)... ILWT CM7 is a nightly ROM (nightlies are like "beta"... may not be stable) this ROM is a litttle better than CM7.1... it has an overclockable kernel for you to have a 1GHz CPU clock (like mine)
EDIT: added the boot time of ILWT CM7

Thanks guys!
So to confirm, you can use both CM7 and MIUI to boost the cpu to 1ghz?

G-lite is a barebone ROM

exactly, that is why it is lightning fast and has mucho free RAM and yet has unbelievable battery life - other ROMs compromise one or more of these!

I think I can say I've tried EVERY G2 Rom for a year now, and ILWT is the gotdamn bees knees. When I found out that tsubus was contributing (albeit minimally) to the ICS projects, I sent him a pm to let him know I'm glad he is a part of it.

If you're going to post benchmark scores, at least do it for all the roms listed.
That being said,I just scored 2732 @ 1GHz on antutu using bulletproof miui so I'm not really sure why you even list the numbers if at least one of the other roms seems to beat it. Albeit not by much, but still, if you're posting those numbers as proof that it's the fastest ROM, you should show numbers for everyone listed there..
Just a thought

those numbers doesn't proove anything... i posted those numbers just as info.... because i spent alot of time with it, so i'm giving all info i can give to it... plus 2732 isn't that big of a difference... ILWT is just mire customizable than MIUI, more professional... at the cost of 3 points though
EDIT: btw, i'm not posting benchmarks for other ROMs, i didn't benchmark it and i'm not flashing these ROMs again just to run a benchmark... if you want guys, give me your benchmark numbers for the other ROMs and i'll post them... all i need is one number for each ROM
thank you!

Get me to the REVOLUTION !

I've read amazing things about the Android Revolution ROM, and I can see from the poll how it has (apparently) way more users than any other ROM.
So I have a question for Revolution fans: now that I'm addicted to the look and feel and small and big features of Jellybean ... how can I possibly go back to a Gingerbread environment?
No kidding, sell me to the idea because I can't bear myself to seriously try it, as I feel like GB will somehow make my device older, slower, feature-poor, unwieldy, etc.
(I was there when GB was the latest and sexyest, and I loved it, up untill ICS and then JB came along)
I guess it is all just a mental hickup of mine.
So please, help me get past it ... tell me what would be the catch in going back to a GB environment

Sent while drunk

That explains a lot... good thing I chose to wait until next morning to reply XD

Drunk or not, but ARHD v10 ICS Sense4 is coming nevertheless!

good to know
but it still doesn't answer my doubts... which then will become ICS-vs-JB instead of GB-vs-JB

with gb your camera working better
your device is faster and the quality of sound is awesome..jb doesnt fit to your device you like it or not
you have desire hd i supose right?

yep, I've got a DesireHD bought 3 years ago, in Italy.
So you're saying that performance (and various apps, like Camera) is actually better ... considerind how Jellytime and Cyanogen are behaving in a bat**** crazy way in the past few days (and the new CodefireXperimental 4.3 is yet to come out) I guess I'll give it a try
Is 7.3 the latest for DHD? ...from the original Revolution post it seems the latest would be 9.0 but I can't find the download link for my device
Ok, scratch that last part, I'm more asleep than I originally thought ... found the 9.0 files XD

I doubt the camera in Sense 4 is any worse, and on AOSP you can always install MIUI one from GB which does a really decent job on DHD.
SQ is also great on Sense4. Now as for the "faster", this is a bold stament. To be more specific GB is more responsive, better on multitasking, but ICS/JB is way smoother (there is no comparison when browsing) and it still isn't slow or laggy at all.

use this rom
