fast rom?

whats the fastest wildfire rom at the minute? sense or no sense doesnt really matter? like cyanogen or something, my phone is really slow at the minute which is really annoying me

wild puzzle, put an overclocked kernal on and use SetCPU to overclock, that might speed your phone up a bit.
Thats what i would do.

It is probably a kernel issue. Try reusing HCDR.Kernel v4.1 from it's specific thread. Apart from that, you can try Openfire ROM as well, which is a completely vanilla AOSP build.

cold it be that rom manager didnt wipe properly? iv just manualy gone through and wiped everything and it hasnt crashed on me yet,
i thought the kernel would be flashed fresh from cm7?

Yes, it is always recommended to wipe it manually through the Recovery Menu. You have to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and /system for best results before installing a new ROM.
As for the kernel, yes, it is included by default in CM7, but it is v4.2. Using v4.2 has caused some stability issues for some members, and, in that case, it is recommended to revert back to kernel v4.1

yeh thanks for that info, was a kernel issue i hope, all been goin good so far

strange, cause the only difference between 4.1 and 4.2 is the wifi driver.

Well since using the 4.1 keen every thing is working perfect, nice and fast no fcs or random reboots.

Cm6 and Cm7 is a bit not very stable for me, have to reboot one or two times a day. Maybe I'll switch to other.

you are doing it wrong, cm7 is really stable. I m using nightly 19 for weeks without any problems.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Don't think so, do a wipe data,system,darkvik cache, flash #53, boot in, first time ADW FC. reboot, flash 4.1 kernel, boot again, ADW FC again
I can reproduce it everytime, lol

I used CM the last two weeks..
Yesterday I went to the new CM7 Rc1 then i moved to Openfire..
it's very stable and fast, even without setCPU.. i've just backup all my apps and it is wonderful..
The last cyanogen seems to be quite slow sometimes..

of new roms that have come out. Please lets talk about your best or favorite rom? What is the best rom you have tried for Vibrant. That would help so many of us
that can't pick what rom to try out. I know everyone has different views, but
we want to know what you like?

I don't know I currently think we can use an update after all it is general you don't have to comment.
I tend to think you have two options right now. the 2.3.2 update roms IE CM7 and [BETA-2] 2.3.2 - XWJV1. both of which have there own downfalls. IE GPS doesn't work.
Or you can go with a 2.2 Rom like Bionix butter or frost. I'm currently going to look into Darky's Rom. All features work on these Roms.
Until we have a true 2.3.2 Rom those are you choices
I have made the most out of the time with updating Kernels you could look into those as well if you are twiddling you thumbs waiting for a stable 2.3.2

[BETA-2] 2.3.2 - XWJV1 is 100% stable for me so far. i had one weird sleep of death yesterday but havent had it rear its head again.
non working GPS to me does not equal "unstable"
unstable would be if the phone consistently locks up while sleeping, has random reboots, has lots of force close issues, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by "old". All of the regular ROMs have had numerous updates (axura, bionix, trigger, darky's, etc....) old would be the people that necro like macnut or fusion.
You can go with any of the ROMs posted in the dev section along with any of the kernels. Just have to do some reading.

I personally can't say enough about the Honey Sweet 1.4 ROM...it is a 2.2.1 Based ROM, no issues at all.
It has a "unique" launcher that goes with it, so it is different then your norm...
I am running Honey Sweet 1.4 with Overstock Kernel (Voodoo enabled), and I constantly get a quadrant score of 1700+. This is the FASTEST, MOST STABLE, MOST ENJOYABLE ROM i have ever used...and I have flashed EVERYTHING from CM7, to the Leaked Gingerbread 2.3.2 ROM, to the "old" bionix, Loki, Trigger, Arura, etc...
I flash my phone more then an 18 year old at mardi gras trying to get the most beads!

Just go to the development section and seek out the [ROM]'s. Most have dates in the heading. Then you can read what people are saying about them.
Personally, I like Bv1.3.1 with overstock. Smooth, fast, voodoo extras and stable.

Sorry to be a noob on this, but Can you flash kernels over kernels in here safely? Or do I have to flash back to my original kernel first?

As long as the kernels are of the same breed then I haven't had a problem yet. Like voodoo to voodoo. (not too sure about OC or UV kernels) Best advice, use sgs kernel flasher from the market and back up your old one before switching. Also, be comfy with odin, just in case.
Kernel switching is about as simple as changing your underwear though.

I just went with the newer Trigger with Overstock and I'm liking it a lot. I usually stick with TW. roms but wanted to try something else.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

You really can't go wrong with any of the roms we have for these phones in the dev section. I would suggest a few things before you start flashing. First, be sure you backup everything with Titanium Backup or MyBackup. You might want to also go into Clockwork and do a Nandroid backup just to be on the safe side. I also have free apps called Call Logs Backup and Restore and SMS Backup and Restore. I make backups of everything then I can flash away and not worry about losing anything. I flash a new rom almost ever other day and since I use my phone for work too I need to keep my data.
I know a lot of people here don't flash back to stock and just flash over the existing roms they have. I always flash back to stock then put the new rom on. I also don't have any of the problems that I see a lot of others having by doing it that way. It takes me 5-10 minutes more but I know it is right and stable when I am done. When I get the rom on that I wanted I go back into Titanium Backup and restore just the apps and data (Menu key/Batch/Restore missing apps with data). Do not do a full restore with the system data or it will cause you problems.
When you are done restoring reboot and you should be good to go.

[POLL] SOD (sleep of death) issues/cases on ICS - Is it happening to you?

For ICS users only
I was just curious, since many users (including me), never got SOD on the phone, not even once..
And being a heavy user, I tried many GB and ICS builds (But I use Criskelo's stuff most of the time...)and so far no SOD..
Just give your vote, for the statistics (or curiosity? )
Thanks
.

When using the Rocket Rom, 1.5, I only ever got one and that was when sync was on and wifi was doing it's little glitch-out thing. Other than that, have never had one on 1.5.

It happened often when i flashed via Mobile ODIN. Re-flashing via full PC ODIN and then installing iMilka's AOSP has given me no problems.
I don't have any hard evidence that mobile odin is to blame, but flashing with full PC odin make a big difference for a friend and I.

Lots of SODs when running Chinese Repack, just a couple since switching to imilka's AOSP.
Repack flashed via Mobile Odin.

Didnt try imilka's , started up (and staying) with Criskelo's and then tried a couple of other builds just to compare ...
Never got SOD on any of the other builds including ,when running CF repack with gapps 7.1
And always flashing with Mobile Odin with the necessary full wipes
.

I have not had a single SOD. Was on ROMOW ICS until imilka AOSP, have used imilka V1-V4 and been on V4 since release day with 0 SOD's. Mobile Odin CF Repack to imilka.

Have had several on Midnote.....matter of fact just had one 2 minutes ago...lol Otherwise this rom is perfect!

I just had one on the latest stock build of GB from India. I haven't rooted my phone or anything. Interesting. I will keep my eye on this thread. Thanks!

Feel free to mock me .... but what do you mean when you say SOD (screen of death)? Total system crash?

For some reason I get about 3 a day. I'm pretty sure its app installed. Once I raised the minimum CPU to 500 it got a lot better. When I get a chance I'll reinstall everything.
All in all I'm pretty sure its user error and not the rom. I'm using asop rom v4.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Yep same question here. (what do you mean by SOD?)
Many times I have the black screen when launching some app that sometimes work and sometimes don't (when I reboot the app is not accessible anymore).
I have an issue, it seems access to the external SD is not functioning well. Since I moved to ICS, I can't tell if it's Rom related or if its the SD that's faulty (it seems all OK when plugged to the computer).
I might have also to reboot when wifi toggled back on is not working well.
I'm using criskeloRom +15 toggles (but had more or less the same behavior with all the rom I used, Midnote or RocketRom).

Never on Criskelo's 1.5 ROM....in fact it is now 3 days without a reboot...I have had a couple of crashes without need for reboot, but its when Touchdown updates the stock contact list, which even happened on gingerbread...

Are you guys sure this is ROM related and not some other software?
I had SOD on GB

been using Team Rocket 1.5 since the first release, I totally had 4 times of SOD, not that much really.

i been using midnote repacked by me for atleast 6 days now NO SOD.
i give u guys a secret.
download midnote.dont download gapps from that thread.
download gapps from hptouchpad cm9 thread.its called gapps v11
youtube is tablet version.

@betoNL
Actually, it's not screen of death. It's sleep of death.

Using Chinese repacked ICS, flashed using Mobile Odin, got 4 SOD, once per day, going back to GB.

ICS v. Sense

I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but how do you guys feel about the current development behind the ICS ROMs v. Sense (I've namely looked into The Classic 1.0 and DigitalKarma's Heaven "Sense4 meets Sense1" so far).
I haven't played around with Sense at all since rooting my phone back in September when I flashed CM7. Currently, I have jmztaylor's unofficial CM9 ICS ROM (5-10 stable build, I believe) on my phone and I'm liking it. However, I mainly hopped over to CM in order to get rid of the bloatware, thus increasing my battery life while at college (where I got awful service). Now that I've graduated, I'm home, working, and best off all, I have great service again.
That being said, I've been thinking about trying out a Sense based ROM again but can't decide if I should stick with ICS or not.
Thoughts? Opinions on any and all of the ROMs pertaining to ICS and Sense are appreciated.

I apologize. I only searched the General forum when seeing if this has been asked before, but I just found this on the Q&A forum.
Input is still more than welcome here, as my topic is a little more specified and I'd like to have reasoning behind the input too. But I'll continue reading that thread as well.

I personally love jmz's cm9 rom. Sense does offer 4g and Netflix and camcorder but it usually looks annoying and is pretty slow. Cm9 is smooth and fast with no annoying colors. I can't wait for a more stable version of sense 4 for the og evo.

i need help
ok my problem is that i flashed MazWoz b5 which is ics 4.0.3 now when i flash back to ginger bread nothing works right either wont get texting or google play wont load the last problem was that when i download an app to install as soon as it finishes and goes to install it reboots. i did it all i wiped everything but sd card i flashed the roms and if the dev had kernels with it i flashed them as well i then load up and still get errors i have no clue on what is happening.
i am using smelkusmod v4.1 recovery could this be the issue i have an ext 3 as well

Flashed Classic earlier to give it a shot. Sense just feels so incredibly foreign to me now so I decided to revert back to ICS at least for the weekend. After that, I may give Sense another go around.
This time with ICS, I'm giving MIUI a shot since I've been on CM (7 and then 9) since I originally rooted.
All feedback is still welcome, because eventually I'll probably end up trying more to see what feels the best for me.

both jmz's and mazda's cm9's have been stable for me...but seeing mazda's is based off of jmz's it makes sense. aokp has been stable at times with certain builds but i have to admit that i was never had the same results after reflashing at times

Partition your SD card
bump it to ext3
then to ext4 (for aosp and ics ONLY!)
wipe all except SDcard 3 times
then install
I recommend Mazdariders23 CM9 ROM: http://changelogs.tincandroid.com/CM9.html
(Btw mazwoz is now b6)
I also recommend this kernel: http://goo.im/devs/atyoung/Mason-RC/Mason-EI-0.1.5-RC5-sbc-supersonic-signed.zip (thats for cm9 only)
here is for all ICS ROMs: http://goo.im/devs/atyoung/Mason-RC/Mason-I-d15rc4-sbc-fso-supersonic-signed.zip
smelkusmod is now version 3: http://d-h.st/users/smelkus/?fld_id=1930#files

I had to unroot my phone last week to get a replacement I was on jmz cm9 before he left and came back. I didn't miss not being able to record video but now that I'm too lazy to reroot. I'm stuck on sense and I finally tried Netflix and been recording videos more. I still like ICS but I will stick to stock until my next phone.

HTC Desire Fanboy wants to boost girlfriends Galaxy S - need advices

Hi guys,
i know that Thread is kind of lazy but my girlfriends Galaxy S1 (Stock 2.3 ROM not rooted) is soooo damn slow and i wanna help her with a new ROM,Kernel etc...
Myself is using the newest ICS Release on my HTC Desire but i readed and informed me everyday for best performance.
At the HTC Desire topic im very well-informed but the Samsung topic is extremly new for me...so only thing i did : Stock 2.2 to Stock 2.3
(Kies is bull**** xD ?!?!)
I would like to root my girlfriends Droid but i dont know which ROM or Kernel should i chose...there are sooo much.
Because of that...guys: Whats the best, smoothest and especially stable ROM (especially for girls^^) whatever Gingerbread or ICS...i think JB is not smooth enough like on Desire :/ (too much issues etc)
It would be pretty if someone could help me so that i can boost the performance of my girlfriends phone on the best and stable way.
THX

Try stock android 2.3.6 ZSJW4. Root it with CF Root and she will be fine. Very stable and smooth with no bugs. Yoy can find it on Sammobile.com

For Gingerbread I recommend the Samsung stock roms, which are pretty stable.
See this thread for official GB firmwares from Samsung (includes also a guide for flashing stock roms with Odin).
See this thread for CF-Root, a basic rooted kernel for stock GB roms (it's the stock kernel with added su binary, SuperUser app and CWM recovery).
See this thread for Semaphore, an extended kernel for stock GB roms.
I only tried Cyanogenmod 9 as ICS rom so I can't recommend any other ICS rom, but CM9 is pretty stable (I'm using RC2 atm and have no big problems). To install CM9 or other ICS based roms, you need to install CF-Root or Semaphore first (through Odin), to get CWM recovery.

thx guys, but
@ c_codrut: i don't think that TouchWiz is a good choice...because its still boring and slowly
@stbenz: thanks for your informations, i will look at this. But im intrest about the CM9 Stuff on Galaxy S
I also use CM9 for my desire but its not officially supported...its an ROM from xda (DK-Zero) and its know very stable and without any big issues.
But i used it since 2012/04..and at this time it was very buggy...no mic no camera etc...for me no problem but for her xD not acceptable^^
But my problem is that myself can fix problems on my device and can live with it...but i dont want that my girlfriend need help with every update or something else...she should use the ROM as an almost stable and for daily-usable ROM.
I know that i should or could test it but its not my device and i couldn't walk all day with it^^ (hope you understand this )
It would be cool, if see could use ICS by CM or what about the AOKP ? (i missed that for my desire :/)
So best thing would be a almost stable ICS ROM....i/she dont need that Samsung UI i guess.
CM9 RC2 (from 2012-07-19) or the Nightly (from 2012-08-07) ?
or what about AOKP (Milestone 6) ?

cm9 + latest devil kernel :highfive:

AOKP milestone 6, semaphore 1.3.0s kernel. Fast, stable and she‘ll have unicorns.

With cm9 all hardware works except for fm radio. Some are reporting, that the latest nightlies are more stable than rc2, but thats most likely because bugfixes for bugs reported for rc2 are already merged to the nightlies. But I also think we are not far away from the next rc/final version, so if you don't want to flash too often, you could wait for the next rc/final version.

ok, guys THX!!!
i will start with CM9RC2...was my favorite anyway
And when i update the ROM ...does it works like on Desire (wiping cache and dalvik) installing newest RC or Nightly?
Or the Kernels needs often to be update?

Hey, I am using this ROM and I can only say it is extremely good, a real revelation after using Froyo and GB. I had some issues with CM9 but it was also great and superfast. i9000 with ICS is like a completely new phone!
Hope this helped a bit.

The kernel gets flashed every time you install an update, so if you have an alternative kernel, you have to flash it again every time you flash a new CM9 version. You also have to flash gapps after every update.

Girls will like MIUI ROM. Its beautiful and have custom theme... try it out.

sent from another galaxy

Hi guys...im back and finished my work
I rooted with Odin and hopefully with the correct Kernel.After that i made a NAND-Backup.
So i wiped everything and flashed CM9 RC2 and the Gapps...and everything was smooth and cool
But so far i didn't flashed the devilkernel yet...the CM-kernel seems ok.
So my question whats the Pros and Cons of the Devil-kernel compared to the CM-builtin-Kernel?
I think batterylife is important than extreme power and high batteryloss, i guess for her ^^
BTW: To make CM more female, i installed a pink theme and a pink clock widget for my girlfriend, she's happy now
And again guys...THANKS...it was very interesting to flash and root an other device (brand) and i saw the differences, Pros and Cons!
In my opinion Rooting on desire was easier and not needed as much informations and readings ^^
I hope she get no big problems but i not averse to work on her device too^^
And im jealous that her ROM runs so stable...on Desire its also stable but the Videocam doesnt work ...damn :crying: (very choppy)
But there isn't a official CMsupport or 100% HWA

i don't know about the devils kernel, but i can definitely recommend the ICS semaphore kernel http://forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
just remove the spaces.
using the smartassV2 govenor, etc, my phone's battery lasts about a day longer than it did on the cm9 kernel

Ok, i also use this governor on my desire and an extra sleep state governor
...the smartass v2 rocks !!!!

You just flash the stable over RC2, flash the google apps, and that's it. No need to wipe anything. If in doubt, make a nandroid backup before flashing.
