CM7 vs all other GB roms, opinions

I have ran evervolv in the past but have been running the latest versions of CM7 for about 4 months, I love all the customization options, but I do get some quirks, and random reboots etc.. occassional lag
I am wondering what you guys would recomend as far the fastest and most stable GB rom
Evervolv? Evo deck? MIUI? etc?

CM7 is ok, kernel that comes with it is horrible though. Nightlies are better than their stable release.

Deck has been extremely stable and I've had zero hiccups with it. Basically identical to cyanogen.

I agree with cares deck is extremely stable I really like it
but I love miui look

Deck is awesome, much faster/reliable than CM has ever been for me. Though after moving to an area with no 4G I switched to MIUI and I absolutely love it.

Deck's is without question the best for my phone. I've kept it running longer than any other ROM.

Try again.
I'd love to use MIUI but the no 4G on it is a deal breaker Deck's has been a lot faster and stable than CM was for me on my Evo. I'd skip CM all together and just try Deck's if you want an AOSP ROM.

From my understanding Deck's is CM7 with everything stripped out except for EVO specific features/kangs. That may or may not make it faster, I dont know because Ive never used it, but that is my understanding of the difference.

I rock CM7 Nightlties...I get at least 1day 5hrs minimum now...lol

+1 to decks ...Neva had had reboot on it and GPS works flawlessly

Not necessarily true, it is majorly based off of CM7. If you read the post for the deck rom it has other things pulled from other GB rom's as well. It's certainly not just a "renamed CM7" because it works for me a lot better stability wise. He has also fixed a lot of things that CM7 hadn't. Not knocking the CM team whatsoever because we wouldn't have Deck's if it wasn't for them.

Just to add my two cents... I run cm7, I enjoy the bloat and custom settings. No, deck is not cm7. A lot of roms use stuff from cyanogen just because he and his team do so much work. However you have to give credit to Deck for his rom being a compilation of his own. Like it was said read the opening post for his rom and you will see.
If you want super clean basic gingerbread that you can do whatever customization you want go with deck. If you want gingerbread that has been tweaked and had included tweaks options go cm7.
I will give props to savaged zen here as well. Very similar to cm7, but not the same! I love the included kernel tweaks, no need for script but less customizable. It is awesome that a Dev would include a custom kernel specifically built around their rom.
Honestly we have such awesome choices for gingerbread and they keep getting better. Try them all and find out which suits your needs best.
EVO 0003, CM7 stable, Tiamat, Vipermod, V6 Supercharger.

someone sounds like a hater...
to OP:
I've been trying a lot of roms lately too. For AOSP, go with Decks 1.2. Its lightweight, fast and pretty awesome. If you want sense, do a search for Synergy Nightlies and you'll find what your looking for. Another good alternative is MikG 2.0

I've been rocking Deck since the pre release of 1.0. But in the last couple of weeks have been trying out the Sense 2.1+3.0 hybrids. After flashing MikG/Alliance, I haven't really had the desire to go back to AOSP.

I've had CM7 for awhile and today i had an important place to go to but the GPS was so spotty i couldn't get to it and i read this post and decided to flash Decks and i gotta say the GPS works flawless and the stability is just superb.

Closest stock android rom??

Hi, sorry if its been asked before but is there a rom that is close to stock android? If so which is it?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Why don't you just stay with the stock ROM?

Think the op was asking closest to stock android not stock sgs2
Cm7 looks like stock but has loads of extra goodness. Not for beginners and its still a wip but still.. well its ace the devs are doing magic stuff

Yeah I tried cm on my desire hd it was quite good but always went back to sense as I liked it, but in my opinion touchwiz is a bit more stock androidy feel to it rather than sense , so wanted to go all out and just try out stock android , so the cm rom, is it available yet? Obviously not stable I take it??
Oh I would also like to ask if someone can tell me is what's the difference between cm stable and nightly builds??
I think I can assume what stable means but never knew what a nightly build was??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Its not 'stable' yet for sgs2 in fact the first nightly only came out today.
Stable releases are known quantities I.e set milestones whereas nightly builds have commits added as they're submitted... nature of the beast some will fix stuff some might cause issues. Pot luck.
Stick with stable builds (there isn't one for sgs2 yet) if you want something rock solid without the occasional gremlin or two.
I quite like touchwiz but always run launcherpro so rarely bump into tw!

good setup

well ive finally decided to make an account on here and would like to say thank you to all the devs that continue to support the supersonic but i am wondering what are some good rom and kernel combos i really dont like sense much and im currently running miui with tiamat 4.1 mainly looking for good customization and a nice smooth feel.

Use the Neon BT theme with that MIUI. It's the shizzz

Jared's ICS rom, and you can fall back on CM7 [if you need camera and/or 4G].

Im using Deck's ICS ROM, its running amazing, don't have a huge need for the camera or 4g atm, but I really do miss all of the CM7 tweaks, I can't wait for CM9!!!

Deck's Ics And Drew's Ics Roms

Okay so i was wondering, Which Ics build do you guys prefer. As of right now the latest ics build for Decks is Pre-beta 9 and for Drew i think it's Alpha 1. But each have their differences and similarities. I honestly havent flashed Drew's p12 but i have flashed Deck's and let me tell you its an awesome rom. Its my favorite ics one out there. I just made this post to see what you guys here at Xda prefer and which one would rather use as your daily driver. Any comments or other rom suggestions are welcome.

Drews is now alpha. I've tried both an right now performance wise drews new one is a tad bit better for me although decks has more features

Yeah I know I flashed drew's a few hour ago and I'm seeing that it has less customization options. But I think I like decks a little more but there almost the same. But who knows well see future updates
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Agreed. I thinks drews latest is smooth as buttah. In fact, swiping in drawer, I've accidentally slid thru 2 panels lol. But it has very little in customization. I really muss that from AOKP.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I love the stability of drew's, and am currently running it (about 48 hours), but certainly miss the "System" section of Decks PB9 in the menu. That thing had so many customization options that the alpha version of Evervolv does not have (that toolbox app has so few options).
All-in-all, I think I'm gonna nandroid back over to PB9 soon.

Yeah thats what i dont really like about drew's. It has little customization. But other than that their both great ics roms.
But does anybody know what the function for Themes is in Deck's settings? Like i've always seen it there but it's always empty.

Evervolv for everything.

I believe it's essentially a placeholder until that feature becomes functional.
I'm thinking I might drop the ROMcontrol apk from aokp into drews and see how it goes. (Lol, just kidding, obviously, and dreaming )
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

So the consensus is that drews is more stable?

Well majority of people say that drew's is a little more stable. So yes i would say that it is. But only you can be the judge of that.

I have seen a lot of people raving about swipers ICS MIUI. I downloaded but haven't flashed yet. What makes it so great? I will probably have to give it a try tonight. I just hope its a smooth set up. I hate having to flash gps drivers and stuff like that. But if its that good I guess its worth the setup time.

Deck ICS
Tiamat kernal
Very nice.....

Exactly. Once again, NOBODY can tell you what the best rom for you is. Everyone has their own wants/needs, and not to mention the same rom will not run the same on every single device. Try a few roms, and find one you like, simple as that.

I use the Miks rom and it run flawlessly

I've been running nitrous for awhile now. The dev is extremely good at taking requests and keeping everyone updated on his progress.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I tried nitrous but the battery life blew dogs. I'm in SOS 1.9 ics I love ics are there any other good ics roms out there.

I'm partial to MikG 3.11 (or the latest). Stable, smooth, decent features and stays pretty updated.
-Brad

Anything MIUI has been awesome for me...So customization & runs fast, everything works besides 4g but I cant get 4g in this area anyways...Plus the themes change up the look of your phone alot!! BTW Why is ICS Muiu running Mason kernel the best? Does GPS camera video ect work?? How do I get video or movies from my phone to work on my TV thru QQ player?

n00b-rom with tiamat 3.3.7 is the best rom around its so smooth and everything works
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

n00b-rom!?!

I am an OG Epic user, and the biggest (only?) complaint I had and have seen with our ICS ports is that the lack of battery life renders the phone unuseable. Is the same the case with the Evo? I see a lot of ICS roms and folks here seem to like it, but I've flashed the Evo's on my account with some roms lately that score unbelievable battery life so I'm hesitant to change.

Well...if you don't want to worry about what's not working, try mikg 3.11
