Hi,
I'm currently using SwiftDroid m4. Now I'm not sure whether I should update to RC4 or try out AOSP. Can someone tell me the advantages and disatvantages of each rom? I know, that there are some older threads which deal with this topic. But I think AOSP has developed very fast ind the last few month.
Thanks
G00fY
the best way to find out is to spend an hour or two testing both ROMS to see what you like the best and stick with it
Swiftdroid have Theme Choser, and that is big + for me.. But AOSP is clean and more stable.

Well, I bought Launcher Pro, so I think that I won't miss the theme choser.
But does AOSP also allows to put quick settings in the pull-down bar at the homescreen? Thats a feature I wouldn't miss.
Yes, eoghan2t7 maby I just try out AOSP and see how it works for me. But why do you use swiftdroid?
An other question: I followed a data2system guide last time before I flashed to swiftdroid m4. Do I need to do it again or how can I use data2system with the latest AOSP??

LauncherPro
LauncherPro uses quite alot of memory
I think swiftdroid. It used to be swiftdroid = power aosp = stable but swiftdroid is now very stable and powerful (in my opinion)
Swiftdroid
Swiftdroid is getting more stable than ever

Hello,
i am sorry if this is Spam. Personally, i have a X10, my GF has a X8 running the Stock 2.1 ROM from SE. She is very unhappy with the Stock ROM, because it lags and so on.
Is there a custom rom with Android 2.1/2.2/2.3 which is stable, fast (faster than stock) and can use all features of the X8 (hw-camera e.g.)
Any recommendations ?

MiniCM has FM, Camera, Videocam... and it is stable
there is 2.3 roms too but they do not have FM and only VGA camera.
the same as above, i recommend using the latest miniCM, as its the most stable custom ROM right now, with most working features
I think BehradGH MTL Rom Series (based on 2.1.1) is good too
i´m using racht´s floyo 0,15 and its almost bugless.
minicm stable atm
floyo 0.15 hackdroid from ratch work,almost everything,less reboot after installed apps but after reboot its working nice
waiting for stable cm7 2.3.3 j's / ratch's
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
I had miniCM and now 2.3.3 v007 from jerpelea and I think 007 is more stable than miniCM but it has not so much features like fm radio and more working games.
Actually i think that the best 2.2 rom is minicm, but racht is working on 2.3 and it's promising..

Thanks for your recommandations. I'll give minicm a try

For now miniCM has most number of working things. Now I'm using it (I need fm and cam). But I hope soon Racht and Jerpelea will make full working 2.3.3 for us
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
In my opinion for now the most stable and with almost all fetures working is MiniCM
Hey folks. newbie here. Been an Android user for around three month, and after the news that S.E will not be updating the X8 beyond 2.1 i've decided to take the plunge and root. However I am on a pay monthly contract so my question is, is it safe to root and install a custom rom and still use my providers services eg: MMS, SMS, 3G. Probably a silly question but i'm new to all this..
Cheers folks
Hi, is miniCM this one?
I'm trying that one but I don't like the cyan colored icons in the status bar, better white or colored like the Floyo ones... there is a way to change icons or only the color?
you can choose other theme

i'd go with miniCM being stable, although at the moment im using j's 2.3.3 as i dont use fm radio and VGA camera is good enough for me

Same here with Racht's CM7-RC3... I replaced LP with ADW eventhough it's got less features... The screen seemed less responsive. Just seemed so... I also noticed battery drain in CM7 RC3 when I only had GPS on for a couple of mins. Battery kept on draining after that but i didnt try it again to be sure. Quite stable for me. I try to keep SU forgetting root apps and so avoiding crashes.
Hi all,
I'm using the GT540 stock 1.6 version and want to upgrade.
Please comment which ROM is the most fast and stable.
Also pls. provide the steps of the upgrade.
The newest is good
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
In my opinion - LittleBrother (Froyo-Android 2.2). To install it:
1. Install 2.1 without fastboot by KDZ.
2. Install 2.1 with fastboot by KDZ.
3. Download SDK and drivers and install LittleBrother by fastboot with this commands:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
Sorry for my bad English .

Is this ROM already over clock?
I verify the link there are 2 kinds of ROM, fastboot and recovery.
What's the difference?
the best rom in my opinion would be cyangenmod 7.1.0 m5 by Mur4ik very fast and very stable
First get it to stock 2.1. xD
Then, let's talk about custom ROMs.
Most of the custom ROMs are pretty fast and stable but I'd highly recommend that you check out 2.1 from LG first. The 2.1 on GT540 is one of the fastest and most responsive ports.
just go this website h**p://swiftdroid.comlu.com/the websites theme's got a problem but they have every thing u need ROMS, kdz, apps and tutorials
change the * to t
The CM7 SwiftDroid (v2.0 M6) by Mur4ik is fast and stable but the in-call speaker sound volume is just to low for me, barely unheard in a meeting room.
That's why I choose Joestone's Clean Android 2.3.2 AOSP, it's also very fast.
Hmmm is there like anything better about swiftdroid (2.3.3)then clean android (2.3.2) I would like to find out before updating from swiftdroid m5 to m6

Not a lot really. Both are in development ROMs.
Swiftdroid is based on CM7. It's basically a hacked/modified ROM that is meant to bring the best out of the phone. Joe's Gingerbread is AOSP. It's purely based on Android 2.3.2 by Google.
Swiftdroid has all features working except Flash Lite, Hardware based video decoding and Exchange/EMail. It's pretty stable but not as stable stock 2.1
Joe's Gingerbread is also very stable and fast. Not as fast as swiftdroid. It has Exchange but Voice input and Flash Lite doesn't seem to be working.
I'd prefer Joe's Gingerbread over Swiftdroid since I prefer AOSP than the hacked up CM builds. However, am using Swiftdroid since it supports voice input.
Until both the ROMs reach a stage where all the stock features work well or where development has stopped completely, you can't really chose one over the another. Even after that, it's all a matter of personal preference.
if you are looking for stability try to stay on 2.1 roms based on LG kernel ... they are fast and hardware .avi works
mikegapinski
the problem with the stock 2.1 is that it's by far the most stable (it is stock after all), but 2.1 is slower than 2.2/2.3

Swiftdroid 2.0 M6 is the most stable ROM so far.
But with the way mur4iks been working lately we should have m8 in a month or so

Mur4ik 2.3.4 is super fast, but me phone get hot after some time. And there is a lot iritating small bugs.
Hi,
I'm looking for a very stable rom.
It doesn't have to be the latest android version.
I prefer android 2.2, but another version is also good.
I have tried villainrom 13 en froydvillain 1.7, but they have problems like battery drain or crashes.
Elelinux's Gingerbread ROM, maybe?
Elelinux gives my the impression that it isn't stable.
This is because of the many releases and they have sometimes experimental features.
Unless you know a version that is stable?
Does somebody has good experience with cyanogenmod 6 or 7?
Try Elelinux Speedmachine or Floyo 1.2.0, those are Froyo based and probably as stable as it gets
Is this the best version of the speedmachine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906552?
And floyo 1.2.0?

I'm on elelinux gingerbread now. I wouldn't say its the stablist. In fact I don't think anything past 2.1 on the hero is stable. Its very slow and I've had a lot of force close plus graphic corruption.
I'm going back to villain rom 13 soon.

Tegro 2.6 is my favorite. Ele's ROM and VillainROM are fast and stable, SalsaSense is interesting enough to try, but I keep getting back to Tegro 2.6. It's quite fast and I'm loving the themes.
Tegro 2.6 is android 2.1?

Yep, though it offers more than other 2.1 ROM (Landscape view, Skins, Themes, etc)
The 2.2 Version of the ROM is herolatte 0.9, Tried it once, it's cool, but the lockscreen bug was a dealbreaker for me
cyanogen mod?

That fix somehow remove root/superuser for me. I know erasmux said that's got nothing to do with it, but I don't know what else could cause it, because I lost superuser as soon as I flash the fix
I think 1,5ROM maybe is better,,,
A lot of people may disagree with me when I say that Elelinux 3.2 (Gingerbread) has been really stable, but I had to do a lot of configuring:
Wipe Dalvik, Cache AND Battery Statistics,
Unchecked screen on/off animations,
CPU Max 652/ Min 245 (on-demand)
Use JIT
Lock in Home app (Go launcher EX or Zeam launcher work best for me)
Compcache 18%
Fix permissions using Rom Manager to avoid force closes.
I use this setup on a daily basis, and I never get any problems
I've tried Salsasense and have problems with the wifi but doing very well.I don't like Ele cos tend to become slow. I'm using Cyanogen nightly, is quite fast and stable.
So, which ROM is better for GT540??
2.3.5 is best in my opinion I tried the 2.2 roms didn't like them tried mur4iks work loved it never looked back

Well, if you just want a stock looking, fast ROM, then go for AOSP, but if you want more themes, and other mods then go for Utopia.

Utopia was my favorite until the RC3 version came out. I had a lot of trouble trying to make Link2SD work (I experimented with different versions of Busybox and finally I got it to recognize the second partition) but today I had another problem with WiFi, which suddenly stopped seeing my WPA2 home network. I had to go back to my previous version, where everything works...
I'm really intrigued about Utopia. I've read that it's fast yet it doesn't eat up battery like other roms. I'm just wondering how do I upgrade to that. I currently have stock eclair and somewhat of a noob when it comes to rom upgrading. Thanks

You could flash a Fastboot ROM vis KDZ. It could be one of the many ways.
hi, i want some help with it!
actually i have cyanogenmod gingerbread 2.3.7 with kernel 2.6.29 , by mur4ik
but now i have heard that he is not making or working on it anymore and there are another guys making new things with 2.3.7 for example the swiftdroid second life, or the custom rom made by pete and his friend.
i wanted to know if these ones are better versions than the one i have, or if they are behind it, and if those two are newer and better versions, wich one would you recommend for lg gt 540?,
and another thing, they talk a lot about kernels, really the mur4ik rom i installed was like a package so i really didn't even care about it
but now that are talking about it and wanted to know what is it , and why is better one or another
i heard some of the guys want to puto a .31 kernel instead a .29 and things like that, and well, i really don't know it so well
help with that please, thanks!
Well for kernels look it up on Google a bit too long to explain it here.
For l android 2.1 the best kernel to be used is .29 kernel for 2.2 it would be the .32 kernel and for 2.3 and 4.0(ics) it would be the .35/.38 or 3.0 kernel
As for roms you are using swiftdroid so keep it or then next best thing would be any 2.2 rom I recommend project Utopia but if I where you I will wait for Mike's asop 2.3.7 v6 to come out
I sure am waiting for V6 mike's rom.
For the looks of it i am waiting for mike´s rom V6 it should be fast and stable, just hoping he releases it ASAP....
try Pebe 2.3.7 v5.1 rom, im using it and its quite good!
Yes, the last pcf cm7 (.32) is very good. The only thing that it ends with the battery much faster than for example in pcf aosp 2.2.2 (.32)
Froyo optimum is great too
Amazing battery life and so smooth
