Stock 2.3.4 is great stability wise and has tremendous battery life.
Iv been running zuluzulu for about a week now and it flies. Great battery life although I am a heavy user. I haven't experienced random reboots at all with it. Also if you like the notification power widget from cm7 its built into zuluzulu.

Try AdamG's oxygen ROM and you'll never want the stock ROM again. It isn't built on cm7, it's based on aosp ROM.

I'm on oxygen now. Really a nice rom. I had opensoju downloaded too, but I went with oxygen.
But I do miss the rotary lockscreen on cm, with the messaging shortcut in the middle.

Agreed. AdamG's Oxygen Rom is my favourite right now. It's AOSP GRJ22 with some of the great features from CyanogenMOD built in (status bar power widget, improved widget picker, etc) and fantastic battery life!
A stable cm 7.1 (2.34) will be out very soon. No worries

With many devices over many years, I've consistently found that stock firmware is more stable and functional than enthusiast-developed firmware.
I have literally never found an enthusiast-developed firmware that doesn't have at least some minor interface glitches. Most have some problem that's major enough that after a few hours of playing I revert to stock.
Occasionally I will run something other than stock, but that is typically after the device has aged to the point that this is the only way to get a feature. By that point, it's usually time to replace the device, anyway.

I agree in general, but of course there are exception. When I had an HTC Evo 4G, I ended up running CM6 as my daily and it was exceptionally stable. At least as good as stock HTC Sense. Unfortunately when Gingerbread came around, that changed, and CM7 was not in the same ballpark.
On my Nexus, though... yeah I run stock ROM. CM7 is cool and if I had any other device (that came with a carrier OS and not pure Android), I would dump that shiz and rock CM7 for sure. But plain pure stock Android developed by a team of amazing developers specifically for this device, that's just not going to be beat
Hah. Google's "official" code isn't really better then what rom devs provide if they know what they're doing. The way google keeps pushing buggy code without giving a s*** is really disappointing. They release updates and then they stop caring about it. As some pointed out the gb update brought call delay and broke aac support, it really seems like they don't even do some basic testing before releasing a new version (which even the crappiest developer on the block generally does). On top of that, there is still no support at all for gpu acceleration in the ui, which is kinda retarded. Day after day i'm getting more and more disappointed about google dev team's job, they don't really deserve half the respect that many geeks keep tributing them.
Stock vs Custom rom on the NS was something I always thought about too! I only ran stock for a few hours because I immediately flashed a new rom when I got my phone LOL But what I can remember from the stock 2.3.4 was that it was fast, faster than any phone I've ever had. But there are so many features that are incorporated in custom roms and it's really hard to forgo these things.
Anyone out there who has used both stock 2.3.4 and oxygen who can attest to better battery life and performance? I am curious as well.
The last phone I used for a long time running stock was my N1 but after flashing CM6 I never really looked back. Speed increase was very noticeable and battery life was better. This is the reason why I never really bothered to use stock software for my next phones.
well, to be honest, i kinda regret to be flashed customs. Stock is so stable and has so good battery life, but now i can't live without cm7 features, just can't...
it's sad story that shows that you can't miss what you don't know! =oP
I agree for the most part, stock gb is pretty good. Using Oxygen now, and the stability and speed from stock + some nice features makes it a good choice!

Is there really a difference?? Especially when compared to a bare bones aosp build like oxygen?

In the case of Oxygen not much difference but I believe CM pretty much guts the framework and replaces it with their own heavily modded version.
does facebook sync work on all ASOP roms? or is it just CM7?
Just wondering - does CM 7 for Nexus S still have the video capture glitch where a couple of seconds are skipped near the beginning when played back?

Hi guys,
Still on stock ROM, but looking to flash a new one really soon - looked through both Original and Development threads and haven't been very confident so far. Why?
The most popular ones seem to be Lightening and VillainROM, but I haven't found any comprehensive reviews of their battery life and performance - VillainROM doesn't have screenshots either. Mostly the posts on their threads are questions or debugging or pointing out bugs, so its hard to get a proper gauge.
So what are your thoughts on the ROMs so far? Looking for the usual - good battery, stability, performance. I don't care much for the blue of Lightening but as long as it works, it works. What makes it different from Villain?
Also appreciate any other ROMs that may be good to install!
Thanks!
One of the best and smoothest ROMs I've tried has been CyanogenMod 7. Its stable (even in the 7.1 RC), fast, good battery life and reliable. Check it out, its a definite favorite in my book

So far I've only tested VillainROM. I'm waiting for a more stable CM7 to try it out, but until then VR seems to be okay. To be honest there's nothing special about it. Battery life is acceptable, it's close to a stock rom, it doesn't have bugs, it has Nimpo kernel, vrtweaks which let you install some mods more easily, and the devs are skilled and helpful. That's enough for me

Which one of this roms has BLN already activated?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I've now used villain, darkys, adam's aosp, CM7 and MIUI.
All great roms. Villain and darky are both quite close too stock TW. AdamG AOSP is as about as close to androidstock as you can get-which is clean and simple. CM7 is the ultimate ROM for the tweaker and hacker and its also v fast.
MIUI is the most visually different rom. It looks completely different and has some great visual cues. Battery life its also v good on the latest build (.29 beta 32). Its the one I'm using at the moment, but I switch between it and CM7 on occasion.
you won't go wrong with any and although they aren't fully stable (the non TW ones). I've never had any stability issues with them. Just be prepared to not have an fm radio or full bluetooth audio...
My 2 cents, hope it helps!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
P.s. Not sure about lightening but one of the earlier builds of villain gave me the best battery life ever on this phone. I think it was 1.4, but this was about a month ago..

There are quite a few, VillainROM is included. You can also flash a BLN compatible kernel to make BLN work.
Thanks, I may want to stick close to TW-based ROMs for the time being until CM7 is stable and GS2-friendly then I've done MIUI before, its a fantastic ROM for older phones, but of course there's problems with translations sometimes and the UI gets old/too iphone after a while.
currently on lightening 2.2 with nimphetamine 2.04 kernal. More than happy with my battery. I get more than a days use out of it quite easily, battery loss is about 1% an hour in standby and the rom itself is very stable. Ive never had a force close, reboot or anything. Im using the steel blue theme too as i like the look of the icons more.
Ive no plans to try any other roms until a fully released cynagen rom is available which i will try, just to see what the fuss is about more than anything.
any ideas how close we are to a stable cm7 release?

I would also like to know.
A VillainROM user here along with ninphetamine kernel I find this the best combination, battery life is awesome and the devs are useful. It's smooth fast and just well top notch.
I've tried many roms but always come back to VR. The best thing to do is try them and find one for your own liking there are dozens to choose from now. In the future I'll try CM7 as I used to run that on my DHD but as of now I'm happy with the TW roms.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Batista70 ROM w/ Ninpo's 2.0.5 kernel here, so far so good. Runs smooth and quite battery-friendly.
I've used Lite'ning also but somehow the I've run into some battery drain issues with it before. Eye'ing CM7 once it gets a stable release.
The latest CM7 nightly, 13, is running really well, it all seems just as it was on my Desire so far, no crashes, just a lockscreen hang every now and again.
Don't know about the Bluetooth audio as I prefer a wired headset.

Which ICS rom and CM7 Rom are the most complete in terms of working. I tried searching and couldn't pinpoint which one as there are so many anyone could give me insight that be Great
What I did first it install infinitybiff's from, which is the stock Amazon with android market and root access. First rom I ever flashed, good for beginners. I used it for like 12 hours. Then I flashed CM7. Didn't like it so I flashed bl1nkk's ICS rom. Currently it doesn't support video and audio, but other than that, its a great rom. Very smooth. I'm confident that a fix will be made soon.

I didn't even think about doing that, but I like the whole ICS experience better anyway.
ICS is pre-alpha, video and sound are not fully funtional, it is not recommended at its present stage for everyday use (though many certainly use it that way)
CM7 is stable, great for everyday use. It has some minor bugs, but all the hardware is functional (minus bluetooth and light sensor).

I vote for cm7.... Turn your kindle into a tablet.
All you really need to do is enable the home button under tablet tweaks and switch the fake buttons to the right side if you are right handed. Install SwiftKey or some other keyboard.... The aosp keyboard is awful.
What does CM7 do for us that the stock rom + root, market, and 3rd party launcher can't?
I think the thing that would really get me to move from stock is if somebody managed to get that BT module working.

Not much imho, however the user experience is more of a pure android. The big take away is that by running a non-amazon ROM, you no longer have to worry about a forced software update that will break root and wipe out twrp. Yes, there have been other posts about how to block those updates, however we wont know how effective those measures are until another software update (ie running an android software firewall) is pushed out. CM7 is tremendously customizable as well.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
non-ics isn't very tablet friendly imo. however, even though cm9 (alpha) is relatively stable (and i use it daily for things like rss, surfing etc); don't even bother if you care about sound and video.
having said that, given how easy it is to reflash, try both and see what you think.
I've flashed almost 10 different ROMS now ever since the Asus ICS update and I'm still getting issues with SOD, RR, rapid battery drain, and/or wifi crashing after deep sleep. I just want my TF101 back. I don't care about Google Now... I just want a usable tablet!!!
You are flashing roms to rid yerself of an issue caused by a kernel?......If the rom You flash doesnt have a custom kernel you won't be solving any kernel issues....
In Short, flash a different kernel.....

SOD and RR only got in HC when update to ICS its been solve, no more.
Rapid battery gain when you turn on wifi and watch video with high bright
wifi crash will be off after deep sleep only got in some ROM not alot, and they had been solve them. If you used any rom u must follow other posts.
I didnt got any issue like that becos i update kernel usually and I follow someone instruction.
recently I used EnergyROM and its make me happiest so maybe no more change ROM... I used 20 or over and I did got those issues like u when i keep update ROM and Kernal...
PS used ES Task Manager when u done any work and click on its widget to clear memory its make RR rate lower

Android Revolution HD 3.4.2 is the most stable rom for me. Don't know if you can still get such an old version, though.
I have tried EOS and 3 variations of CM10 (Raymans unofficial stable, Paranoid, LiquidSmooth). I like them all but EOS + KAT 47B gives me no issues to complain about (right now on 79 anyway). The others - last time I tried them - seem to have poorer wifi reception (and I don't mean just a matter of "bars"), occasionally lose wifi after re-awakening, and sketchy-to-non-existent GPS.
Truthfully, the EOS build works well enough for me that I could really care less if ASUS does an official JB upgrade at this point. Smooth, as robust as stock ICS when I left, stock browser working fantastic. I am on build 79 right now, probably upgrade to newer version if/when 4.2 features added.
I was set on getting myself a new tablet for Christmas, but after flashing EOS JB I have no more desire to upgrade to a newer tablet. It does everything I want it to, significantly better than when I bought it.

I've tried CM10 unofficial stable too and I really like it. Fast, stable, reliable.
I'm a bit late to the custom rom game for my tf101 but so far, it seems that after trying cm10, my data and apps are much happier with ICS than JB...which is fine with me since stock .27 has been very, very good to me...stable, reliable and good battery life. The problem is that it's very slow.
I'm currently using ENERGY ICS, but it, like most ICS roms, are going the way of the dodo...it's all about the jelly bean.
The ENERGY rom is working just fine for me so far and No Frills is letting me overclock.
Is anybody still working on ICS?
In my opinion the only super reliable ROMs would be the stock, OEM ROMs such as the one I released. Any other CM9 or CM10 based ROM is a community built ROM and will have its bugs and quirks. If you want solid, day to day reliability and all your ports to work, then stick with ICS. I don't see what you gain with JB anyway, the look virtually the same and the code really hasn't changed much.
Team EOS 3 JB Nightlys & KAT Kernel
100% solid, stable and very fast
I would recommend Revolver 4.x + Guevor's 22.6 kernel. I'm on version 4.1.1 for months now. It's stable, reliable - no SOD or RR at all. Oc'ed kernel to 1.4 GHzso it's smooth and fast.
However I've tried CM10 (RaymanFX) as well. It was even faster and smoother BUT I was suffering from poor Wifi and frequent loss of sound, that's why I decided to go back to Revolver ICS. But I definately will flash JB again, once the issues are solved.

.27 has been very stable for me so that's why I chose the Energy ics rom. I want faster while keeping the reliability. My concern was that since it's not being actively supported very much that it wasn't a finished product.
So far, it's working perfectly for me. I'll put it through the paces over the next few days to torture test it.

I'll keep those in mind if my TF starts getting *****y with me. So far, it's night and day better than stock...faster, smoother and just better all around.
My browser actually loads pages without any problems. I don't have the need to flash for the sake of flashing or even comparing it with the Note 2. The only thing that matters is if what it does is fast/good enough for me.
I tried lots... CM10, Team EOS, Revolver... and they all had major issues making them unusable... plus I like the Asus built-in apps.
Stock (rooted) is the only way to go for me as other ROMs are simply too sluggish. I wish I had time to learn and contribute

On the other hand, I do appreciate those who torture test every android iteration so the rest of us can experience vicariously what others are actually doing.
