[Q] best rom for speed

Let me give a little background before i ask my question. I personally run a Samsung epic 4g and have been on Cyanogen Mod 7 for a while. Obviously its not the RC as the epic its self isn't supported, however, i find it to be a great rom to run in day to day situations despite loosing camera functionality.
My friend has a Droid X and hes really unhappy with it at the moment because the rotation lag and the keyboard lag make it almost unusable. Recently, I rooted it for him, hes running .602, and I've been thinking about putting him on a Init rom like CM7 because i want him to see what android should really be like. He doesn't use the phone for anything other than texting and Phone calls so a slim fast rom would be the best for him. The one problem with putting him on the nightly builds for CM7 is that he might loose some functionality on his phone, and knowing him, even if he doesnt use it, he would hate to not have his camera working or his gps working poorly. He that kind of person.
What would be the best rom to start him on to slim down the system, kill all the blurrness, and still keep as much functionality as possible? Remeber hes on .602, id like to be able to keep him on that so that I don't have to use SBF.
Is the Droid x version of CM7 stable enough for every day useage or should i look at some of the variants that have been made?

CM7.
he'll lose HD vid recording, but the "high" recording(which works) is plenty suffice, imo.
bat life is fine. 18-20hrs on avg use.
CM is stupid fast on the DX. I love it.
(oh & have never had issues with my GPS)

If you go for CM7, make sure to get the version for Gingerbread kernel, not the Froyo one. Battery life on GB is improved

yep..good point on gb kernel

CM7 is the fastest rom that I have used on the DX. As for the GB kernel, there are unofficial nightlies that are running on the kernel, but the official nightlies will be updated with the GB kernel within the next week...
It may be easier to jump on the official nightlies and wait a few days instead of having to do a lengthy install process twice.

so i should put him on the nightlys? All hell loose is video? If that's true then it will be perfect since he doesn't use that feature at all on his phone. Thanks.

Shuji is an execellent rom...it runs faster than cm7 for me. I have run both the .596 and .602 and both are very stable

ya, he'll be fine on nightly. you don't lose video completely. you just lose 720p recording is all. you still can record in 480p, which still looks surprisingly good

I had a wonderfully experience with omgb 1.2.2
It was godly fast. It honestly impressed me more than cm7 and I run it on most of my other phones.

the CM7 forum thread on nightlies latest chatter mentions something about BT bugs that I plan to test but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Poll: Stock, CM7 or other Custom Rom?

Got the idea from a post by a dev who thought that we wouldn't need the custom roms so much now that we have CM for the Atrix.
I slightly disagree with that and could bet a 5er that there's more people on other custom roms than on CM, at least for the Atrix and due to its "special" features.
(If I'm wrong the 5er will go to XDA)
EDIT: Seemingly (though numbers cannot always be trusted..) I was wrong. 10€ donated to XDA!

Stock ROM with BLUR frozen. I was having way too many problems with CM7 (like the pattern lock suddenly changed to pin lock on me, but I had no PIN set. ) I love CM7, but will wait to try it again when its finished. Plus the fingerprint scanner and webtop are just too useful to give up for me.

I definately would like to see a vanilla AOSP build.
Of course with the ability to retain fingerprint scanner and webtop functionality.

I just put CM7 on and i'm loving it. alien build 4 was cool and I'd love to have webtop back but it's not that important to me. My fingerprint scanner had been broken for a while and I don't know how to fix it so CM7 seems right fir me now
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Stock rooted. As a change of pace from my sgs2.
Sent from AT&T Galaxy S2

Definitely stock rooted/with most of motoblur frozen. Pciture sync is about the only thing i like about it.
But I don't like the look of stock gingerbread (or at least 'adw's stock' look on CM7, assuming the touchpad's CM7 has the same look as most CM7 releases - just too basic!)

I voted CM7 because thats the best rom availible today in terms of speed and features, but there's so much more that can be done with an AOSP code base. We need more non-blur ROMs before I would consider anything other than CM to be worth while.

Definitely CM7 but With Swype. CM7 is not final yet and it it's by far the smoothest ROM I have used on any phone. The camera ideas improved a lot flute some weird resin as my photos are no longer people, which was the czar with the stick ROMs. The only thing I Miss right note is the ability to use fingerprint scanner but one can't have everything in life....and patience is a virtue.

Give every rom a try, you will see that always you go back to CM7.
Most stable, fastest and top customization ability.

Man, it's so different user by user.. I've tried CM7 three times in the last 2 months but I keep going away from it; battery is worse than on other roms to start with, go figure?! And it's not as "snappy" as other roms either. Stability is for me equal on all the roms I tried.
Will definitely try the next release as well though..
P. S. Check the attached, on The DarkSide. Battery started from 95%. OC'd to 1,3 Ghz and on constant browsing, market, XDA app through wifi. Can you get that on cm7, basically 4,5 hrs of screen time on a bit more than half a charge..?

Agreed. I was starting to like CM7 on the atrix until it randomly changed the lock screen on me. I also had terrible battery life. I loved CM on the G-Tablet, and I love it on my friend's Droid X. I'm sure once the team is done I'll love it on the Atrix too.

Darkside V2.1, pretty stable and fast. Love the look on my SGS2 friend's face when my phone CF benchmarks better than his.
...Though I suspect it wont last long.

I'm on alien just because I haven't wanted to re-setup everything on my phone...once CM hits RC status I'll be on that for sure.

I'm still rockin stock Froyo be wise of the battery life reported on other options.
I'll probably make the jump to ICS if the version is stable...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

well stock was great before 2.3.4 update as far as the battery goes, the best up to date custom rom IMO is Homebase, next would be ninja's latest, but in this poll i would have to go with the CM7 beta, it's been flawless so far(3 days of testing) and i finally got my original battery life back(30+ hours) along with CM's features that i miss from my G1 days when CM first started....

CM7 is my daily driver, but I use the Darkside when I want to do webtop(or just want a change lol)
I have both as nandroid backups on my SD so all i have to do is backup my texts and any new apps i installed and flash between them..15 minutes to change at the most
I voted other rom though, since I still like having the option to do webtop

CM7 all the way. I don't need that BS fingerprint scanner or webtop. It's all useless to me.

Stock, rooted.
MUST HAVE WEBTOP.

the only way to future proof our atrix (at least for a year or two)
is to totally reject this ignoranamous
notion that cm7 or any rom is the end all be all rom
for our devices yes it is a great totally
custom ground up build i respect the time and effert that all the people took to build it ;
with that said we do need other roms too for the fact that maybe there are certain aspects that are not impemented into cm7 and cant be
i implore all the rom creators for the time they spend away from there familys to work on this "hobby"
futhermore yes we do need roms or Oc kernals for it ;
but should we expect it No.

Seriously??? i've been through every rom, and CM7 has great battery life, along with Ninja and Homebase. Then again the problem may not be the rom, maybe your battery needs to be re-calibrated. That was the problem when i would go from rom to rom. For example i would flash ninja and have amazing battery life, then i tried homebase when it first was released, which the battery was also great, then after a while i went back to ninja and the battery life was horrible(barely got to 8 hours). After i did the steps to re-calibrate my battery, it was just as strong as it was on the day the phone was released(30+ hours), so that may have been the problem

Which ICS ROM to use

Ics passion v4. Its like wiping your ass with silk. Smooth as hell.

Yea, that's what I've been using. It's still a Beta, so, there's some kinks... but, it's the best ICS ROM for us at the moment.

Agreed. Not using it, as I'm waiting for the bugs to be ironed out. However I am watching that thread like a hawk. Waiting for the rom to exit the beta stages.

Passion v4 is good, still has some kinks but only because its still in Beta. I use it as my daily since i really dont do much except text, email, Plume, FC Scoremobile, and once in awhile YouTube.
No video camera or GPS
other than that its pretty awesome!

I'm using the i9000 version as a daily ROM, been pretty sweet. Same battery life if not better from gingerbread. Each version has its own little caveats though so beware.

Are 911 or the headphone media stop/start buttons working on any ICS roms?
Thanks.

Passion v4
I'm Using passion v4 and its pretty great so far. No GPS (for me at least) but that is to be expected. Only a couple of bugs left as far as I can tell. Give it a shot.

issues, WHAT issues?
Besides the normal battery life decrease from froyo roms that most people are used to- there aren't too many issues.
Major issues:
Video Recording does not work for any port yet (i9000etc.)
GPS does not work for us.
Lesser issues:
some apps may freeze up since they aren't ICS compatible yet.

I think you get defensive too quickly...
Greg was comparing early gingerbread to early ICS saying that ICS has had a less buggy start than GB did. Then he ASKED if there were issues.
So if anything I think you just agreed with him, in a very aggressive way.
Any way, thanks to this thread, I jumped on the Passion v4 wagon. I was contemplating waiting for v5 while doing homework but couldn't help myself. I have no regrets.
After restoring everything with Titanium it runs really smooth (something was going wrong in CM7, probably from all the crap I had installed). The battery life seems about the same as GB, but everything looks so much nicer.
I found a few apps that do not appreciate ICS as much as I do, but if they're no friends of ICS they are no friends of mine!
I just hope GPS is working before my trip in a few weeks (and from the sounds of it they will have it working in the next few days, if not tonight).
It is the only ICS rom I have tried so far, but whether everyone here was right or just my ignorance of what else is out there, I am still very happy with it.

I just have one question. How do you flash if by chance you've alraedy installed a different version of ICS? Because you cant mount it to send any data to it!

This is a very very smooth ROM. I'm coming from CM7 with Glitch v13 and as far as I can see, it's amazing! Will be using it as my dd for a good long time. Only complaint is there isn't as much customization as with CM7 but I just installed ADW launcher and that's good enough for me!
Recommended to any Vibrant user!

I tried I9000 port of ICS with working button mapping,gps,hw accel because it sounds most likely to go into the next CM type of build, while the others just seem like rom chefs working from someone else's source.
For me it was snappy as hell, literally from the moment I got it running it felt more smooth than any of the current gingerbread roms. I didn't keep it on long enough to comment on battery life, and unlike most of the people in the thread, I couldn't get gps working(nor did I try things like media buttons).. in the end I gave up on it because titanium backup wouldn't restore my apps. Not one. I was too lazy to troubleshoot it or install them all again one by one, and I wanted my daily driver/reliable 2.2 back.
But it gave me hope: if they have a working rom, this quick, that smooth, with so few definite problems- it will probably surpass any gingerbread version I have tried to date.
Hell, if I could have restored my titanium backup and the apps I truly use every day actually worked, I'd still be using it.

Edit: Maybe the reason you can't mount it is because you need modified USB drivers? Here are the Modified usb drivers just in case some computers dont detect the device that they have posted here
Otherwise..
Umm, you can't mount it? The ICS I tried didn't have a mounting problem.. but if your still able to flash, you could bluetooth the files you need over, use dropbox and download it, and there are probably a few other ways I could think of.. otherwise I'm not sure what is stopping you, I don't even know which ICS still can't mount.

When you say customization in CM7, are you just talking about theming? Unless there is a large part of customization I missed that CM7 offered, the theming in cm7 was far outweighed by what you could do in MIUI, besides the many features it offered that CM7 never even touched..
Oh the other note, I would also recommend any vibrant user to give ICS a try- it offers something unique and fresh, and I am quite happy with the beta experience it had.

ICS Passion v5. Other than GPS and video recording for now evrything works as it is supposed to. USB mounting is correct (no more MTP mount). It's smooth and fast. Camera even works in Panorama mode. It's no longer beta in my opinion, its a perfect daily driver. Best Rom ever on my Vibrant.

Comparisons between GB and ICS...What is your overall opinion so far?

Hey guys.
Must say for early stages ICS looks pretty sweet. Looking forward to the stable version by Codeworkx and team.
My opinion though is that i still find Gingerbread pretty solid and has all the features i need still. Yes ICS is still in early stages. But there are still few features that i can not leave without just yet. And plus battery life of course is a major issue for me so when kernel sources are released i am sure we shall see an influx of kernels to tackle the problem as it was in the early days of Gingerbread on our gorgeous phones.
Question here is...Do you guys find it worth the jump even on early stages or are you sticking with Gingerbread as it is still stable and you have all the features you can ask for till the gorgeous CM9 gets more stable? Also what would you like from Gingerbread to be on ICS
Thanks

The problem is I've already made the jump much earlier, and it's now unacceptable going back to GB..

I also made the jump but something made me come back to GB..I think it is still because the build is still in early stages and bugs and errors occur..Plus having the voodoo app now by Supercurio kinda makes me hold up a bit longer. Yes i know that is not a good enough reason but also battery life is a major one for me...
What i like to know in the new build of CM9 is it as smooth as people say it is when scrolling?

Well I'm most likely the wrong person to answer that, having come from the original SGS since only the last 2 days. And no, I don't think that it's not a good enough reason to revert to GB for Voodoo LOUDER when I'm actually giving it a fair thought of going back to the SGS1 for Voodoo Sound...

Don't worry, there are plenty of people like you and me giggling at the various topics of stuttering paid alternative launchers, and buggy custom AOSP roms, but they are mostly silent.
I think its great they are there, because it can lead to new insights, but so far for me stock + TW + a mild Jkay-theme hit the sweet spot for almost everything this phone can do for me.

Opinion its a leaked test rom and not ICS release who knows what will change .

Ive been trying out the cm9 alpha for a while now and am liking it. Got it setup virtually the same as my KK5 daily.
With cm9 I don't need voodoo louder and my a2dp streaming sounds better.
But.....
I could easily go back to KK5 odexed which I have setup the way I like it. Jkay mods, frozen apps, voodoo louder, etc.
I use go launcher ex, go sms pro and poweramp on both so mostly my user interface is the same.
Found since sgs1 that I like the 3rd party apps more than stock. Thats the beauty of android I guess.
Im ok with both as a daily so far.

Same here. ICS is very good and I urge all to give CM9 a try. Of course we cannot mod, theme etc.. at this stage but to be frank there is no need to. Great sensible UI coupled with a very smooth and snappy scrolling and other animations makes it a perfect ROM for a common user. If you are too much into theming, tweaking etc.. stay away from CM9 at the moment until a stable one comes out.
Not much of a battery drain also. Maybe 10% more than stock GB.

No thanks no advantage over what i have at present .

I tested for 2 days the ICS and I must say that the samsung team it's on the good way. ICS will be a wonderful OS to run on SGS2. They still have a lot of bugs to fix, but there are just leaks. We must wait for some official releases.
At the moment you can use ICS just to explore some of the goodies that will be present in the future for our phones. We will have to keep gingerbread for a while
Personally, I want to see the weather on lockscreen fully implemented in the next builds

theres no real ICS for SGS2 right?How could we compare?
we still need to go through 2.3.7 am i right?
No, i find cm7 better than cm9 for now

Personally I don't find ICS the revolutionary change that some people were hyping around. It's an improvement, but not super.
And +1 to the people who mentioned the media part. Once it's fixed I might go to CM9.
And frankly I don't find Trebechet launcher on CM9 smoother than Touchwiz on Gingerboard :/

I am totally agree with Dzel.
Since ICS alpha(not even beta) version. its no good to compare stable GB version.
Again CM9 is much better than CM7.

I am running cm9 as my daily now as most remaining issues are not so important.
I was before on cm7 with Siyah kernel, and honestly, everything was really running smooth. I do not see any big improvment in ICS, and in that point, I am a litle disapointed.
I will stick to cm9 as ICs is now the developped OS, but I was waiting for more big changes from Google.
A litle bit like diff between OSX 10.3, .4, .5 etc etc. No real big changes.

[Q] [ICS] Team Rogue / Team EOS Stability

I'm about to choose an ICS build to flash on to my Wi-Fi only Xoom.
What has been the experience with each of the 2 main ICS builds out there? Rogue/EOS?
Any preferences if so why?
Also, if I do a Titanium Backup of my Apps in HC 3.x, will they restore correctly in ICS?

Spend a day with each of them. You don't have to worry about stability on the Xoom like most other devices. ICS was programmed for the Xoom by Google, so the software isn't "hacked" to run like most devices. Try each of them out and see what you like. I would suggest restoring only data for your apps. Reinstall your apps from the market and then restore data only, and of course don't restore system data. You could probably get away with restoring apps+data but if you want less chance of force closes just do data.
Oh and for preference I build a version of the EOS ROM because EOS has more options as far as custom settings at the moment. CM9 is still in the process of building the groundwork for adding all the customizations it is famous for.

I have been nothing but blown away by the Team EOS nightlies of ICS. 34 days in, and they had relatively 100% functionality. Camera -- including Face Unlock + Sillyfaces, HDMI, dock functionality, Bluetooth, Netflix. EVERYTHING.
I never get any FC's, I never have to work around anything.
I've not personally used the Rogue build, and have not used the CM9 Kang either. EOS has it done first -- and I can't see improving the experience much by switching to another build. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Throwing my vote behind EOS even though I just installed it less than 2 hours ago. The thing just ROCKS! My first ROM install on the Xoom and it was flawless. Apps+data restored using Titanium Backup. Couldn't be happier.

Thanks for all the awesome input. I'm going to try EOS first!

Gotta agree with this. EOS was my first flashed rom on my Xoom, did it last night and I couldnt be happier. I have not tried the other builds so can't comment on them.
I also happened to get my Moto BT keyboard and mouse today and they both paired and functioned perfectly right out of the box with ICS. I'm using them right now as a matter of fact!

I've got this thing mostly set up the way I want. I seem to be having the dictionary issues that others have mentioned but that's minor. Once I finish setting everything up tomorrow I'll nandroid it and call it good. Now we just need to keep it up to date and we're good.

Had problems with the wireless on EOS, veeery unstable. So I'm on ICS stock atm, and will wait until they both stabilize before trying them again.

I've never had any problems with my router, or any of my friend's routers. Never had a problem with Wifi either. What rev were you using?

Of EOS? 30 and 32. I've seen a few people with this or similar issues in a few threads but it's far from common. I did wonder if it was anything to do with mixed G and N myself. However EOS does look like it's pretty good so I'll go back to it in a few weeks when the EOS and CM teams have had more chance to look over the stock ROM. Only issue I have with this is that my Xoom takes all night to install the 300+ applications the Market thinks I have installed.

It may be. I had a problem with my parent's N router when I visited for Christmas. Had to be set on B+G-Mix the whole time I was there, because none of my Android devices (2 phones, 2 tabs) would connect otherwise. Strange, considering I have an N-router at home and there's no issues. But **** happens.

man try um all

I haven't tried the EOS rom yet since the Team Rogue rom is working so well for me.
I'm truly loving my Xoom all over again.

I've been on Team EOS since Nightly #1 and I honestly couldn't be happier, everything works flawlessly for me and it has been so much fun flashing a new nightly every other day...after 6 months of owning a XOOM it was so refreshing to see this amazing device get the ICS ROM and all of the attention it deserves.
Team Tiamat did an amazing job with Honeycomb and has now evolved and is doing an even better job with ICS
I just want to thank them for all their hard work!

If you sub in the build.prop from the EOS Stingray build, most games will work. Not sure on your specific games, but check the Wingray thread for more details.
