What do you LOVE about CM7?? - Epic 4G General

I love how FAST it is. I love the overscroll color choices and built in theme chooser. I love the included ring tones. I love the battery life. I love everything about cm7.

I love the screenshot feature. And the 2.3.5 android version. And the tiny rom size
O, and the contacts work at lower lcd densities. Take THAT touchwiz

I really like the option to edit the toggles in the notification pulldown.

I love the 180 degree rotation

I love the theme chooser, and the fact that you can run a version on most phones and tablets.

Because Cyanogenmod.

I love it's speed and stability, less force closing, and AOSP goodness. I also like the voicemail customization and using with googlevoice, not like sprint's stupid voicemail menu in settings where you have to pay for transcribed voicemails. CM7 how do I love you, let me count the ways... I've actually not tried cm7 the last experience I had with cyanogen was cm6 on my hero, but wow what a difference that made.

All of the above.

I love its speed, options, and a lot more. But I don't like the lack of 4G, so I don't use it as a daily driver.

I love the fact that half of the major features of the phone don't work.

Wow, really? Don't like it don't use it. Think you can do better build us a cm7 with everything working. If not don't say anything.
A feature I missed was I love the how the hardware keyboard doesn't skip.

I agree with you on the vanilla part. However there are something's of sense that I like. Like the text selector I think it is superior to aosp. I would love to run a sense 3.0 rom without the lockscreen. That ring annoys the crap out of me.

[Q] MIUI?

Why does almost everyone recommend MIUI? MIUI is nothing but a pain for me, it's always lagging and the color scheme is not very appealing.
That's a VERY vague question and miui is the most customizable rom there is to offer on this phone. As for sluggishness you're crazy what are you running apply and kernel wise?

I agree with Nic. MIUI rocks on this device. It comes with a ton of awesome features, and customizability is second to none.

How much pain has it cost you really? what else did you install/ flash on your phone that you think it's making it lagging and as for color i really dont know what to tell you. when you post stuff like this, it's like a slap in the face to the developers. be careful how you critique what people have worked hard for..
All i can say is thank you Derek for your work..
Not to beat a dead horse, but I agree with everyone else. MIUI is every bit as fast and smooth as plain AOSP, and with a lot more attractive UI and is more customizable. If it wasn't for the lack of an app drawer, I'd probably have used it longer.

If the only thing you dont like about it is that is it missing the app drawer just install a new launcher like go launcher
Edit: Or install an app drawer from the market like "organized drawer" and it is just like miui has an app drawer

MIUI paired with the app ALTDrawer = pure awesome. it gives you an app drawer while still keeping the functionality of MIUI, doesnt change the screens or messes with the stock launcher either

Thanks, I hadn't seen that. In it's description it says "Move a shortcut of AltDrawer and replace the old app drawer of your launcher", but obviously MIUI has no app drawer icon to replace. Do you simply make one of your dock icons a shortcut to Altdrawer? If you could post some screenshots, that'd be great.
Miui is definitely fastest ROM out there. Not to mention highly customizable. Gonna have to agree with the crowd

I'm going to throw this out there.

I've been running EL30 all day and just realized how smooth the scroll is and of amazing the multitasking is. Went is it that stock roms do multitasking so much better than custom roms? Everyone should go stock for at least one day to see what I mean. Again.. Just throwing it out there.
I've been running stock EL30 since we got the google link. I'm liking it so far. Just need the keyboard lag fix. I think they did fix the GPS though, it goes fast in google maps and its accurate. And I like the none iOS touchwiz.

Yes, I noticed battery life is great! Also, I think the smoothness is coming from the rom being odexed originally from sprint. We must all remember that the odex codes are optimized for our devices. That's why deodexed roms are never as smooth. Might be slight quicker but awful multitasking. But personaly, ive never seen a performance boost from going deodex.

yes the latest aokp b40/ms6 and aokp Jelly Bean have a in-call volume settings menu that allows you to adjust mic gain/volume across speakerphone/earpiece/headset. Set the speaker phone mic gain around 12-13 and that will get rid of the echo. I believe its set to 26 by default.
