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

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

Okay, so I rooted my phone and updated to the latest SprintLovers ROM. It's nice but, I would like a nice non-senseui ROM. Either that, or a FAST senseui ROM. I think it just slows down my phone. I purchased ADW Launcher-EX for my rooted Nook and would like to find a ROM that I could possibly use that on. The best solution would be a ROM that maybe has sense but allows it to be deselected. With most sense based ROMs, sense stays running in the background even if you use something else.
Also, I would like to try overclocking my phone. I see some of the kernels in the wiki but, how so I flash? I currently use AR recovery but, I would prefer to use Clockworks for Rom Manager (since it is required). I purchased the license for Rom Manager but, it just errors.
Also, what are other good tools to use. I purchased SetCPU and ROM Manager. Are there other tools for rooted phones that are as important as those two?
Please forgive the noob style questions. I finally decided to root my phone even though I got it the day they were released. I am trying to get a little more life out of it, while I wait for Sprint to releaser the "next best thing".
IMHO CM7 nighties is by far the best no sense rom
CM6 is a stable release but CM7 (to me) kicks azz --- check it out & enjoy
Tools... everybody has what they like best. I can say as a 2 month (or so) rooted evo owner. Trial and error is the best way to learn. After that, everything you read starts to make sense!
you can always find help in the forums if somthing goes wrong
I personally like the Azreal X 4.0 rom which is a sprint like sense rom. and the SBC kernel. Which allows for over clocking. Look at my signature and search in xda for download.
MIUI is my favorite AOSP ROM. It's got the performance of CM, without the blandness.

It requires AOSP kernels, like any AOSP ROM. The one that it comes with is pretty damn good though, I have found no reason to use any other one. It's stable, I have had ZERO reboots, and fast as hell. 1700+ quadrant scores with no overclocking.

I'm on 1.1.28 and my camera works fine. I have never had any camera issues with any of the builds that I've tried. I have an older 003 evo though, I'm not sure about 004s.
I've tried Cm7 and 6 and to me 6 is quicker and more stable. Paired with savaged kernel v5 and you can't go wrong

I tried it. My quadrant score was only 1100 with it. I noticed that the kernel was overclocked in it but, setcpu was set to 1Ghz from my titanium backup. Maybe that's why. I didn't like the iPhone look-and-feel of it though. I went to warm twopoint and like it. I may play around with this one for a while.
I had what could be called a flashing rom syndrome, everyday was a hustle to flash something new sense or asop, whatever, and then I found the latest installment of Vaelek rom, Vaelpak 3.2 Rc1 nonsense. I have to say this rom has taken the need for me to flash a rom for a whole week now, lol, literally, a whole week! Now this Vaelek guy brings a whole bunch of goodies to the table with his new version of this great rom, among some of them are and not limited to:
The vealek.com website, just like other ROMs but with style, with a fast response to any issues that may arise, if any.
The VP forum app
The Vaelpak settings, these settings are one of the things I like the most, because right from there u can flash Kernels, themes or theme builder as it’s called, where u can mix and match icons and animations at your discretion, mods and patches, device settings, task and news and updates.
This rom also has a mix of sense and asop apps for u to choose from, the performance of this rom is excellent and battery life is way better than the usual (at least for me with nets 4.3.4 cfs more, setcpu 128-245 when screen is off) it last 16 to 22 hours depending on usage.
In closing this is one of the best ROMs sense and nonsense out there right now, with Vaelek leading the way to a total new experience in terms of stability and options build right in the rom’s settings, 5 stars from me. Give it a try!

Currently on the custom netarchy kernel with hdm drivers. SBC 4.2.2 more havs FULLHdmi [email protected] #3. This is a strange kernel, but for some reason it performs awesome on my device. Fabulous battery life, and smooth as heck. I'm not afraid of SBC kernels, I have a bunch of extra batteries, and I've never experienced any negative side affects of using. Battery always cool, phone never gets hot.

This is the 3rd rom that I have flashed in the last 2 months. I can't recall what the first one was, but I came from Myn's RS5 prior to using 3.2 remastered. I've been using 3.2 for roughly 2 weeks and love it. Yeah I've had a few problems here and there, but most of it I think is on my part. I also found in order to get it to work right on my Evo I had to wipe everything twice. Not sure why, but it worked. The only other issue I have ran into is that clockwork recovery 3.x doesn't work right. Had problems flashing new roms because of it, went back to 2.6.0.x and worked flawless. Haven't settled on which rom I will be using yet. The stock rom works great, net 4.3.4 CFS NOHAVS NOSBC works ok. Just flashed net 4.3.4 cfs havs more sbc, gonna give it a shot
Vaelpak is a Sense Rom. It is based on the stock 3.70.xxx.x HTC Rom. The title says nonsense because he has taken out almost all the Sense stuff and replaced with AOSP. I tried it a while back and went back to CM7, but with all this new praise for it I may have to give it another try.
What is the best rom ?
I would like this to be like a big discussion thread without any fanboyism.
lets start with the 3 most popular firstly Cognition S2 v1.13 secondly Lite'ning Rom v2.2 and finally VillainROM 2.0
i think personally villain rom as the developer is more truthful than cognition developer and it just seems faster i like lite'ning rom but the blue theme with the white icons is not my cup of tea the cognition rom also is fast but the code to make quadrant give highscores without telling us makes me scared if he is hiding more stuff
Lite
I have the Lite´ning 2.2 and I think it rulez!
Stock ROM is the best imo, always was, always will be.
Rooted stock XWKF3, no real issues, I still little point in installing a modified rom (like I did on my desire)
I've only flashed 2 ROMS Lite'ning 1.5 and my current ROM is Cognition 1.13 both are excellent but i have a preference for Cognition,battery life is better, speed and responsiveness are about the same,Android OS issue hasn't gone away completely but has gotten considerably better with Cognition 1.13.
Prefer the romless rom excellent for newbies changes nothing .
But really none of them as a rom as they always have something i dont want or like . So i pick best rom and customize it myself .

Another for rooted stock (2.3.3), though with Chainfire's KG1 kernel. I was running into a few bugs with 2.3.4, so I switched back.
I'll probably switch to Cyanogen down the line, when everything's finalized, and Samsung has since moved on to the Galaxy S whatever.
Until then, from what I've seen, I can't really come up with a good reason to use a custom ROM.

superior battery life is just one of many reasons to flash a custom ROM.
I have tried many custom rome and always go back to stock which says it all really.
definitely litening rom!
I like litening, because everything is in one package. But I do think I get a tad bit better battery life on villain, especially when the phone is on standby.
Came from Villian then Lite'ning now I have cognition
I didnt like how the battery life in Lite'ning was awful, otherwise it was pretty sleek but it's not for everyone, it's almost like a "hipster rom" if there was such a term.
For battery life I didnt notice much difference between Villian and Cognition so far, but there wasnt really much difference between Villian and stock rom.
I'll switch to CM when it gets done
Funny on lighting i ran from 4.30 til 18.30 wen i came home.
Made few phone call few sms and stil battery at 91 % arent u using something that drains battery like a mesenger ?
stock kf3, far better than ke7. tried all the customs on here n theres nothing to see really, definatley not yet any ways. you gotta realize tho that this phone is still a baby, give it a few months and itll be a different story
VilliamROM, great banter in the thread, helpful dev, and I find has top notch battery life.
I have used tons of roms in my previous device (Milestone), any you can think off, and got very used to MIUI. I miss a MIUI version for the Galaxy SII (its probablyt coming soon). IMHO, MIUI is the only rom I ever found that really improved the phone usability through radical, but very well thought, changes in the UI. And, at least for the Milestone, it was rock solid and improved battery life even with the phone overclocked to 1GHz on the "ondemand" CPU governor. However, i9100 is so fast I am even considering underclocking (first time ever).
Cognition doesn't use cheat script (angelom roms and first litening where using it) so don't post misleading things.

All I use my Acer A500 for is Web Browsing, watching video, and reading comics and was wondering which ROM would be the fastest one for me. I have Rooted it and am currently using Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2 on Android Version 3.2.1 with Kernel Version 2.6.36.3+.
Thanks
I'm more of an enthusiast when it comes to Android - so don't take my advice with any "pro" weight behind it- and I've also rooted my a501 and played with roms. Basically, I haven't found major or noticeable differences between the custom jobs (there are noticeable differences b/w the custom jobs and the stock ones, though). Most of the custom jobs have tweaks that increase free space or battery life or add a few eye candy things to the tablet. This thread is very up to date about it.
Personally, I've tried Lightspeed, Honeylicious and even Taboonay at one point. They're all good. I personally want zero clutter (so none of the stock Acer apps or games) and a bit more battery life, since my model also has 3G. I was going to try Epiphany also, but I've "updated" to stock and am waiting for ICS, since none of the devs are likely to finish up with reverse-engineering it before Acer comes out with the official update. So that's about that..
Never really understood the kernel bit, at least never really noticed major differences between them, but again, I'm just a guy with a tablet, not a pro.

All the custom ROMs are just whipups of the stock ROM or some other device's ROM, so there are not really all that much differences in e.g. browsing performance. The only thing that really speeds you up there is going for another browser or overclocking and as such if the small speed-up is really that important then you should look for a ROM with a custom kernel that allows for overclocking.
If I had to choose one ROM I'd probably suggest Honeylicious, but then again, I am still running stock ROM myself as it's the least buggy.
According to my own personal experience, there are three custom ROMs with superior video performance, which are available only at tegraowners.com as they are using a GPL non-compliant kernel. The fastest ROM is the A500 ICS, which is, however, still under development (e.g., no camera, no HDMI audio). The two other ROMs are HC 3.2.1 based, Civato Flexstriker and Thor A500 14.2, and both also very fast. Both have as additional advantage over stock ROM, for instance, drivers for using 3G thumb drives. There are many further tweaks. For instance, Civato's Flexstriker shows a better Wifi stability compared to stock, while Thor's A500 14.2 shows the best GPS connectivity.
With best regards, maris

How does any of those have anything to do with video?

I used kjy2010's honeylicious faux rom on my a500 and it works great! Just as he and others described, it is stable, fast, free from clutter.
I'd have to vote for the Honeylicious ROMs as well. They're basically tweaked stock ROMs with a lot of clutter deleted, so they're highly reliable. Your requirements are rather basic (same as mine, so there's nothing wrong with that), so there's no real point in going to a bleeding edge ROM.
You could also just get EZTerry's stock rooted ROM and delete the clutter yourself via Titantium Backup, but that's pretty much what KJY2010 has already done in the Honeylicious ROMs.
I would not recommend going with any ROM not using the stock kernel because that usually has compromises on reliability. I also wouldn't use a ROM that isn't based on the stock Acer ROM for the same reason (if not more so since it wasn't didn't come from Acer).
All just my opinion -- I realize that other's may vary.

Hate to break it to you buddy but honeylicious is based on the Packard Bell ROM, not the stock Acer one.

You mean the Liberty tab from Acer subsidiary, Packard Bell, that's almost an identical clone of the A500?
I was referring to ROMs based on completely different tablets, like Asus, Motorola, etc.
Hi, I'm a noob here in the Note. I've been a heavy user and a quite massive flasher of my SGS2.
I'm expecting my Note tomorrow and I'm very frightened in advance by its battery life. So I'm thinking of rooting instantaneously as I open its box but I need your advice.
Should I just root it with the CFroot and leave the stock Samsung touchwiz or should I flash any ROM with good battery results? If so, please I need a small amount of opinions. Which one is the most reliable? Do the latest ICS betas have the same battery drain as the latest GBs? Should I go ICS to start enjoying the Note experience or stay in a GB rom?
Please help me to grasp the state of things in the Note world as I open the box.
Right now I'm using a custom ROM, Darky ROM to be exact and I'm really pleased. This one seems to work best overall for me (along with the latest franco kernel).
Most people however have reported great performance with using the latest Abyss kernel and Rocket ROM. Those for me, weirdly were slower and Abyss got me battery drain.
However, my experience differs from that of most users out there, so basically you should probably try them yourself at first and see which one suits you better.

Thank you pal for the first clues!
Checkrom got me the best battery life so far, mainly it is a lite rom.
Hope its not placebo!

At the moment I'm using Rocket Rom together with the Speed Kernel which, with a few tweaks here and there, gives me awesome battery life while using and in standby.
Lite Roms have most of the Samsung and some other stuff removed. As a rule, they are more battery efficient. The best ones IMO are Cassie's XtraLite and Chrak's Small Rom. Of course, removed apps that you need can be added back in both of these Roms.
I used both with Franco's kernels, and they were fast, smooth and easy on the battery.
As for ICS, my advice would be to stay out of it for the time being. You have things to learn before being able to cope with the necessary high maintenance and fixing the ICS Roms require ATM.
No disrespect meant, just stating the fact.

I had the same issues with Battery life of SGN. Then I rooted with Franco Kernel 2.6.35.7 & have almost increased my Battery life by 30%
So try it & if you find bettter ROM, pl do share
Thanks & All the best
