How does stock gingerbread run and if you don't root and just run a stock rom what's your reasons for doing so?
I prefer not to mess with phones but my evo gets pretty slow at times so I change roms to find one that runs the best on my phone.

I've kept mine stock simply because I've never had any issues with it that would prompt me to root and install a different ROM. Mine's never slowed down on me, and has not had any other problems.
Use cm7+ godmode kernel+supercharge script and you'll wanna have my kids
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

What exactly have you gained using, "cm7+ godmode kernel+supercharge script" that a stock user would want?
I've flashed CM7 on my Evo god-knows how many times and tried a multitude of different kernels and have never seen performance that is significantly better than a stock Evo. CM7 and custom kernels let me allowed me to overclock but so what? I gained nothing by o'clocking. I've been able to get about 23 hours of bettery life on stock and kernel#15, wifi tether and CM7 came close to that. I'm not saying that stock's better than CM7--maybe I missed something, like the supercharge script!? whatever that is...
So share, what significant improvement do your mods give over stock?

If you are looking for battery life improvements I use CM7 with SZ 2.2 kernel and haven't seen anything beat it yet. Even with stock and lack of Widgets and such. Thus far it seems this has run alot more effectively than anything else I have tried.
The number of system tweaks and customization built in to CM that usually would require a separate app to do is awesome. Instead of having all these apps and workarounds to do what I want, it is already built in to CM.
The amount of support that the CM team gives their mod alone is good enough for me to have switched from stock as well.
Obviously ROMs aren't for everybody but that is just a small tie bit of why I like them.

Search for what I said to use and use set CPU to use conservative governor. I experience a lot of lag in sense but NONE in cm7 using the supercharger script. You can't just flash it one day and expect it to be perfect. Let it sit for a week, condition etc and then you'll see what I mean

I can't stick with one ROM,Kernel, or various tweaks because I haven't tried all of them and flashing is so easy. Right now I have kushdeck's ROM 1.0(2.3.3) and tiamat kernel 3.3.8 sbc with viperboy's viperMOD v3 2.3 -75mv undervolt. My battery life has sucked since rooting and flashing ROMs and nothing has really improved it.
I try other roms all the time but always come back

I followed these instructions and now enjoy great battery life.
http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/01/htc-kernel-15-v7-enables-trickle-charging-of-evo-4g-battery.html
Prior to this, I was getting 12 hours with average use. I turned off everything and just didn't seem to matter. After swapping to the kernel recommended in the above post, my battery was signifincantly better. No undervolting, background on, GPS on, WiFi.. I don't use Bluetooth for anything so I can't vouch for that.
I use stock right now because I took the OTA update, but I plan on flashing CM7 once root is gained on it. With all of my apps installed and several widgets that I prefer to use active, I run about 260 memory unused on average, and I typically only charge overnight. I work overnights and use Pandora constantly, run WiFi at home and at work, and leave GPS on. No 4G in my area, sadly, so no ideas on that.

Same here, haven't had any need plus I have to have my phone working with emails being synched. All I really need is WiFi tether and to backup my apps and stuff. When my evo gets slow I just hit task killer and back to normal.
I feel embarrassed to have to ask this, and I know a lot of people hate this type of post. I want a suggestion for what custom ROM to flash.
I started flashing about 5 months ago with Darky's ROM. And now I like my phone. ( I won't say love, because I love my parents, my children, StarTrek, BSG, hot girls, and icecream and that's it). BUT, the more I flash, the more I get annoyed with the gliches. Darky's 10.1 didn't have working GTalk (w/ Camera), and sometimes has some bugs. I lately flashed Ruyyo EDB1.1 (JVP ROM), but sometimes the phone restarts or crashes, and every 3 days or so, SOMETHING runs down the battery (meaning, the phone over-heats, acts slow, and loses all battery in 5 hours). That might be because of an app, but I think its on the rom. The main apps I use are HandcentSMS, ADW-Ex, and Multi-picture live wall paper. And Gmail (which is FCing every time I restart the phone)
Now there are so many ROMs out, I don't know which one to get. All say they are stable and fast...and I'm sure for many people they are. But I am searching for suggestins. I cannot try out many because I live in China, and because of the damn stupid retarded Great Firewall of China, all downloads of ROMs from Multi-upload are slow (and I need special software to access that site).
So...I'm looking for a ROM which is really stable, which I do not need to do a wipe-flash with and can install with CWM. I would prefer that it use the same lag-fix solution as the Darky ROM so that I can go back to it when they update ...but as I don't every actually activate the lag-fix, probably does not matter.
I'm looking for a ROM which must have voodoo sound (the ability to use my phone with my own AKG earphones without having to unplug said earphones when I answer a call is what convinced me to keep the SGS instead of getting an iPhone4... so this is critical)
I need my ROM to support live wallpapers, so that I can use my LCARS wallpaper with multi-pic.
I prefer my ROM to support the Samsung Music player with the integrated lock-screen widget.
I really prefer ROM which has the front-camera fixed and google-talk operating.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sounds very much like what I am looking for also. I am on Darky at the moment as well. I just want a good, fresh and 100% stable ROM.
- I need root
- Lagfix would be nice
- Needs to be able to work well with Launcher Pro Plus
- Good battery life
- BLN essential
We all need roms that are stable, fast, and with a good battery life... I think I've tried all main SGS roms, but at the end I think I'll stick with MIUI.
I liked Darky's rom, but I've got too many force-closes... maybe it was my fault because I didn't flash it correctly.
But for a month or so I've used MIUI... it's the fastest rom... You've got tons of lockscreens.. including samsung's (I think). Battery life it's not the best, but the devs are really working on making this rom perfect. For example.. for Galnet... this week 2 updates came out, and we're waiting for a big one friday.
My advice: give MIUI a try and you won't be disapointed

There are three reasons why I did not try MIUI. BUT, my reasons may be flawed.
1. In my understanding, MIUI is based on Cryogen (or something like that), which requires that I flash (wipe-flash?) a Froyo ROM first. Which means that I have to download two huge files through the Great FireWall of China. I know that's a lame reason...but that's a fair amount of work for me. Not to mention reloading all my apps.
2. In my understanding, CM (and hence MIUI) does not have the Voodoo sound and does not have the Samsung Music app. The music app is not so big a deal because (in my understanding), CM and MIUI have their own in-notification-bar music controls (which is why I like the Samsung music app). However, I need Voodoo sound in order to allow use of my own headphone while talking on the telephone.
3. In my understanding, MIUI is supposed to look like iOS, which I do not like.
Please let me know if my understandings are wrong.
I also didn't try it because I don't want to flash an updated version twice a week. I want a good working ROM from the start with no need to update until the next Android version comes out.
I am oso on darky's rom previously but having same issue. Then tried Tweaky's rom and Juwe's rom too. Juwe's rom is fast but its bit dull colored and lack of sgs2 apps like Tweaky's rom.Now I am using my own rom base on JVP with Talon kernel with OC, actually it's a mix and match of Tweaky n Juwe's rom. Everything is working so far with some sgs2 apps, tw4, gtalk with video call.Flash n wipe is a must for a start. If u r interested I can post a link for u.

CM7 (CyanogenMod7) has Voodoo Sound for sure, even Voodoo Colour. BLN should also be possible with a custom kernel.

best looking rom, fast and reliable its galnet mui. Battery life it;s not great yet but galnet its working hard to fix.
i think that after flashing couple of roms you will decide.
My advice: Juwe's Smart Edition v5.0 XXJVP .... he have all what you need .... and much more

Exactly. Just diable lagfix, full factory reset and finally flash Juwe's ROM with CWM.

Smooth and smooth... all FPS are X2 on quadrant. My device clock is 1600 mhz max as default as miui. Sometimes it stucks and restarts. But galnet works really hard. And battery is not the best ok. But thats worth it. You can download different themes with theme manager. Also there is an air update app for muiu. Which updates your device latest miui. I l
will stick with that..

Why factory reset? Why not just do no-wipe flash with CWM?
Part of my problem is that there are a lot of ROMs, and if I'm wiping everytime I do a new ROM, its takes quite a while to restore to full functionality...albiet the end result may be more stable.

So you are saying that you had better battery life with others, and MIUI sometimes gets stuck, but you like MIUI because its faster for games and themes? That's not really what I need (although I do like the notification options I saw on it has). I am more not into this because I'm not into having to Flash back to Froyo in order to install.

Hearing this, I'm tempted to bite the bullet and go through the CM7 install proceedure. I then will have to upload the google apps and the new google talk. But the end result may be pretty cool (assuming does not drain battery more than other ROMs). Thanks for the info.
MIUI rom doesnt stuck and restarts as your think. Battery life is not horrible. You can control your headset in miui with different module like voodoo sound. I think thats the best rom to stick now. You can get air updates and you dont need to wipe your data for updates. Just give it a try. I guess you will like it.

Thank you. I don't think it gets stuck. Its just that you said in previous post "Sometimes it stucks and restarts." I may try this out. I think I'm going to wait and see what this JVQ-based ROM is like before I do any ROM which requires a wipe.
Slightly off-topic...About my phone...I'm not sure, but I think sometimes the heavy battery drain and restarts are caused by Handcent SMS. I downloaded an app called "OSMonitor" It showed that sometimes Android System is continuously using 40% of CPU, and at those times, Handcent is using 50% of CPU. I guess I should delete Handcent and see if my phone gets better stability and performance. Seems maybe the stability problems were might be blamed in the wrong place. BUT...I really like Handcent...
I'm in a similar situation and decided the only way to get what I want is to put it together myself. This also means you probably wont have the latest and greatest because they might be cool but not always the most stable.
What you can do is, get a deodexed stock rom, install a stable kernel with the mods you need (voodoo, bln, rooted and busybox etc) than use Titanium backup to remove all the things you don't want. presto, you'll have what you wanted...
I think the best option is CM7.
Greetings.
I have CM7 and must re-charge every 8h... Moderate use. Are other ROMs better battery-wise?
Ok so I know this is somewhat personal preference but I just got a transformer today and it is now rooted with recovery what is everybody's opinion on the best rom and kernal.
Thanks
It's kernel not kernal. Use revolver 0.2 with clemsyns kernel or the kernel that comes with the rom. Lookout for prime 1.6 when it comes out.

+1 for PRIME! ROM, lots of people use it so if you get problems with it you should get answers relatively quickly.
Revolver looks great but I'm waiting for the next version. Supposedly the volume is unbalanced and.... there was something else that made me decide to wait. They both were minor issues that should be included in the next update.
Also Prime 1.6 will be good.
I get SoD using Prime. Not so much while in standby but when coping from my internal to SD memory, which I do often. It locks up every time. Running his v2 kernel which helps it from getting the SoD over night.
LG G2x - CM7.1 RC1 2.3.4
www.CincyAdmins.com
www.MiiWiiChat.com
Prime v1.5, I found the most stable. however certain apps (for me atleast) won't show up in the Marketplace. Not sure what the issue is, maybe something in build.props file.
However, using Clemsyn's OC Kernel is a pretty good combo with Prime v1.5.
I didn't have luck with Clemsyn's ROM due to Overclock issues, my Tegra 2 can't run at 1504 mhz. So it would get stuck in an infinite boot loop
But there is another rom I want to test, Revolver which is built off of Clemsyn's ROM so that might be a good one to test.
As for different kernel, the only one I have tried is Clemsyn's.
Clemsyn @ 1.4 very smooth no probs. rom, not sure i just used stock, rooted, inst titanium bkup, removed crap bloatware. all done its very good with high speed, LOOOOOOOOOOOONG battery almost 18hrs (with dock) now with videos ... still going I dont know how other roms are, but im more than happy with this one.
I have rooted every phone I ever had to gain additional features or functionality. But, I have not felt the need to do so on my TF. What functionality are people gaining from rooting and/or running alternative ROMs?
I use the netformer 1.5 kernel with prime 1.5 rom. Super stable for me.
Optional things I did:
I use the thrive boot animation, pcb theme (very sharp looking), and revert back to transformer launcher buttons as I don't like the Xoom ones very much. I also changed the system font to ubuntu. If you search XDA for this stuff you should find it quickly.
Good luck!

Same as you would on any other Android device . It depends on what you use your tablet for I guess. Perhaps there are some 'additional features' you feel the need to use on a phone but not on a tablet?

IMHO - Overclocking kernels help me out particularly when watching videos. Setting governors via apps like Setcpu help a lot with conserving battery life. Prime makes the transformer buttery smooth and eliminates some fluff that can bog down the system - plus some extra goodies like cifs, terminal, and spare parts. Additionally, you are able to create backups and use apps like titanium root.
Don't get me started on the customization portion of why rooting this device is crucial. Too many neat things you can do with a little bit of of research to talk about.
Hope this helped!
I've been around these forums for a good while now, having used older HTC devices in the past and more recently under my current moniker on Android devices. Having previously owned G1, G2 and Desire from HTC I'll be receiving a Samsung GSII tomorrow, having chosen it over the HTC Sensation.
Moving to a new device is always fun and enjoyable, but may be even more so moving to an entirely new manufacturer. I was just looking for any pointers and tips from the community on the best ROM's around for the GSII (seeing as there is currently no thread dedicated to listing them) and tips for use on stock firmware, while I do my reading. I've already read through the QA and had a browse through the dev forums (damn it seems like an entirely different site to the XDA I'm used to).
I've used Cyangogenmod for some time now, having run JesusFreke roms initially on my G1 in the early days, used many different variants of android, though liking a stock feel more than any skinned ROM. I've used and liked Oxygen, Villain Rom and even LeeDroid (on a Sense skinned ROM).
Any tips thoughts and pointers would be greatly appreciated.
In my case I also just bought the phone ,, almost,, about 4 weeks ago.
After about a week I decided to flash to litenin v5 with Odin. afterwards I changed kernel through clockworkmod to the ninpheta 2.0.5 kernel, I am getting great results I believe at least, and the ROM is very very very enjoyable (thanks litePRO), stable and battery sufficient with this kernel mentioned above for me.
I am using setcpu with the kernel Aswell so I can o/c u/c and u/v it,
i Haave had no problems at all,
Chainfire 3d nice app
Lcd density changer nice app
Root explorer nice app

Will have a look at the ROM, any specific benefits to it? As far as applications been using android since beginning and know what I use there. I would rather edit the file manually for screen density, I'm assuming it's the same file on Samsung devices?

Been looking over the CM nightlys forum on their sight and it does seem stable, though would like to try out others while I'm playing. Would miss the FM radio though (yes some of us still do listen!).
May have to have a look at Villain, is it the same dev as the GS1/Desire or a port of his ROM?
@OP- Welcome to GSII forum.
Well I can't advice you any Custom ROM's like CM or else as I have no inetrest in them, but if you want advice on Stock then you can use Chainfire Root. It is the simplest rooting process and keeping the kernel close to Stock. You could also try Ninphetamine kernel if you want BLN and Voltage tweaks. For all these just visit the Original Development section.
I would not advice you to use SetCPU and do some Undervolting tweaks as I am yet to confirm their effectiveness. But it's completely up to you.
Also for simple mods and tweaks just read the Q&A thoroughly, a lot of simple yet needed stuffs already discussed there.
Regards.

Thanks for the welcome (as you can see not really a big poster, more of a lurker).
Yeah I've read over the Q&A and some nice basic tricks there. Thanks for the advice on a start, with stock ROM's, really want root from day one to be able to do what I'm used on my device but just get used to using the Samsung interface, haing never experienced it before. Only ever used SetCPU in the early days on my G1/G2 when it was needed to run some of the later android versions. I really don't see the necessity of overclocking/underclocking a fast dual core CPU and with the advancements made in the android governor as it is.

Man, I am impressed, you are the first person to say like that. Needless to say you are absolutely right. I can't believe how many people are jumping for SetCPU and Voltage tweaks without knowing what they are doing.
And yes root is a must, Sammy could've already rooted it while shipping and would have saved two minutes of us

Been looking over the CM nightlys forum on their sight and it does seem stable, though would like to try out others while I'm playing. Would miss the FM radio though (yes some of us still do listen!).
May have to have a look at Villain, is it the same dev as the GS1/Desire or a port of his ROM?

I dont really listen to music on the move, so same goes for FM
Its the same dev group as from the G1/desire I think, ninpo kernel is the "official" VR kernel, theres updates in the dedicated thread.

The gingermod is interesting if you like minimal but not castrated rom.
It's ASOP look, and samsung app free except where it count : browser, camera, video.
The 0.3 is good to test, lasted 0.5 got some issue.
Anyone ever use both of these roms and can give me a comparison?
I want to have an ice cream sandwiched themed tablet. I'm currently on the Thor rom and am considering on switching to the honeylicious Rom. I'm extremely happy with it, however auto brightness and hardware rotation lock do not work.
Ultimately, what i'm wondering are things like battery life, smoothness, etc... of the Honeylicious Icy Faux compared to Thor's rom

I think it would be better if you asked this question on the honeylicious rom thread instead of making a new thread.
that being said, ive been looking at honeylicious also for the same reasons. I like roms that get updated frequently and honeylicious seems to be the flavor of the month.
Honeylicious is a great and smooth stock based ROM. It's suited for those who like to be closer to the stock Acer ROM - though battery life is longer on Honeylicious, as well as wi-fi signal is better!

Don't want to get into this because of conflict of interest lol, but he clearly stated that "though battery life is longer on Honeylicious....". Anytime you're using a kernel that overclocks your processor, your battery life is going to diminish, that's just common sense

NO.
I have never flashed Thor Rom.
I said that Honeylicious Rom has longer battery life compared to the stock Rom.

What do you mean conflict of interest? You should be promoting your ROM and explaining why it is the best!
I'm currently running Thor's ROM, but i want to give this one a try and see what it's like. It would be nice to open the browser and not have to send apps in the market to my "Asus EPAD"
I'd love to hear a list of pros/cons of each ROM. Please share. Currently on Thors but would love to get auto brightness working and such. Will the typical user really see much of any difference, especially if we maybe have a hybrid of Honeylicious for the ROM and Thor's Kernel?
You cant compare apples and Oranges.. Two totally diffrent roms
the honey rom is not new..
I got it months ago from the devs page.. there has always been a link in his post . just new to being posted..
I am using something very similar to his rom and do trust that he would not put no type of unwanted or unethical software in it..
Thor s rom is much faster but it does eat battery and will occasionally lock up or stall .. the browser sometimes will just exit on its on.. with that said its the overclocked kernal and settings pushed to limits to get it faster..
for me my tablet is for checking email reading web forums books and gps .. I dont need it to be faster...
My point is, how are they completely different ROMs? What is so different between them?

Thor uses a completely custom kernel for which he will not post source code, which is why he's not allowed to publish his ROM at XDA, yet he has his lackeys posting threads for his ROM here (always a way around it).
His ROM is a port from the Asus Transformer, not from our device.
I'll not say a bad thing about it. I don't use custom kernels in my ROMs. After you flash a few dozen ROMs you'll understand why
