android 2.1 second chance

Hi all,
My phone was on kyrillos ROM 5.5 and recently my wife also bought a SG3 i5800.
Her phone had android 2.1 on it by default, so I could compare the phones side by side.
What I found:
-her phone (android 2.1) "fully installed with apps" was smoother than mine, even when my phone was clocked to 800Mhz "fixed" high performance with fugumod 2.4 beta3.
The smoother behaviour of froyo 2.1 best came out in a game "fruit ninja".
On my froyo 2.2 + kyrillos 5.5 i had choppier graphics when the screen was very full of fruit and lots of sounds and you swiped the screen at the same time.
The android 2.1 though had no issues with this at all, the gameplay was smooth with no difference of busy graphics, sounds and screen swiping (slicing the fruit) at the same time.
As a test I put the latest froyo 2.1 release from samfirmware on my phone, and now I'm enjoying smooth phone also, no overclocking necessary and great battery life too.
ofcourse linpack now shows 3000 again, while it was 9000 before, but in practice the phone is faster....can somebody explain that?
So I will stay on froyo 2.1 for now, how it lasts in time, and maybe later I try a custom ROM again on froyo ...when I am in an experimental mood again.
I didn't use ext4 partitions before the downgrade, so no issues for me regarding filesystems
As a free gift now I can kill some tasks that don't restart themselves automatically.
BTW the camera works great, no crashes in froyo 2.1
When do we see the NEW custom 2.1 ROMS appear ??? )

This is not the 2.1 vs 2.2 issue. This is STOCK vs CUSTOM issue. This is what I'm trying to say all the time, but I get misunderstood.
Try the stock 2.2 vs stock 2.1 an you'll see that 2.2 is indeed better and faster than 2.1. As offensive might this sound, no offense is intended, but custom ROMs slow your phone down, they are broken and poorly done. You may have installed your custom ROM the wrong way or did something wrong while installing, but still, the FACT remains, custom ROMs for SG3 are broken and some tweaks and hacks don't work as intended.

Hahaha your words scream FLAME ME but the fact is that I have to agree. Even the custom themes are buggy (not all but most of them). They seem to be incomplete, the text is somehow misplaced, especially in dialog boxes and the download percentage in notification area is unreadable... I have a theory as to the cause of that... All we see are CUSTOMISED roms and themes. If someone makes something original most of these issues will be resolved I believe. I am no developer nor trying to be smart. I respect the developers and I understand how hard is to make a fully working rom. I thank all of them especially Lestat who imo has the best rom. But the only one TRUE developer has to be marcellusbe. Only he is trying something original. Let's hope he pulls it off.
Peace...

what about our dev-team? we are doing the exact same as marcellusbe, porting whole ROM (MIUI) and almost nobody cares... and to be a exact porting a ROM is not original and if it would be original still our team was porting MIUI wayyyy before marcellusbes CM7. now sorry if i sound like a 90 year old grandma but even tough we were porting before CM7 everybody thinks that nobody hasnt done anything like this before CM7 OMG AMAAAAZINGG!!!

Ok jazux. Your team too. Listen I don't want anyone to be offended but he (and his team) are the only ones who compile aosp. Something not easy as well as ORIGINAL. If I'm not mistaken all your team does is to port apps and the whole MIUI feeling to Froyo. Correct? Of course you have your share of hard work and fame but in the end we'll have a great, provably, 2.2 rom with MIUI skin...
P.S. Again NO OFFENSE MEANT. All of you keep up the good work.

no offense taken
but just to let you and everybody else know: the problem is that everyone thinks this is easy and CM7 is hard as,hard but really this is not something that can be done like that MIUI is super hard to port because its designed to run on high-end devices and thus we have to sacrifise some things to get it working on loooooow-end phone. and MIUI is based on android 2.3 wich means our MIUI willl also be based on 2.3

I understand Clarkkov and respect his opinion as user but I don't like to think that way.
You can't ask ROM cookers here to deliver professional ROM like Samfirmware.
EDIT: In fact, when you got your SG3, it has a stock ROM. If you went here to try custom ROM, that would say the original was not good enought for you.
Some month ago, when I bought my SG3, I knew nothing about ROMs and Android. Thanks to ROM Cookers and some advanced users, I learnt a lot while flashing (again and again) ROMs they made.
OK, theses ROMs could be buggy, could made your phone slower ... but they also brings to you some stuffs that are not in the stock ROMs. If it's buggy or badly done, users should give feedbacks to the developpers to help them and solve theses issues.
Android is complex and usefull infos are hard to find sometimes .... I say bravo to ROM cooker to achieve a working ROM, even if it has some issues, because it's not an easy task espcially if you are not a programmer and know nothing about linux/android.

Now i m not a developer but as a Custom ROM (Indroid 4.3) user I keep chasing clarkkov. Marcei is right, we all came to XDA as we were not satisfied with our stock ROM.
I think clarkkov has a problem or two with some of the developers. How wud u feel if i say the stock theme was much better than the theme u ported? That is what happens when u try to criticise the custom rom developers. they are much better than u, atleast they are trying to get something better for the users.

@jajux: can u give me the link of ur MIUI rom ported and where can i see the screenshot of SG3 running MIUI ROM.
And i tell u one thing: if u r doing good, u will be appreciated, sooner or later.

what is happening here ?
Hi guys,
My intention was to inform you with my experiences on android 2.1 and certainly not starting a heavy discussion about custom ROMs and criticism about ROM cookers/designers.
I think the guys who make custom ROMS are great, enabling features that normally are not available in stock ROMS.
Only thing is that my end-user experience with android 2.1 is very good, smooth gaming and no camera issues anymore.
So.... as i wrote earlier.... would there be a "challenge" to make custom roms based on froyo 2.1 ?? Maybe a poll is an option to find out
Br.
Michel

Im also on Kyrillios 5.7 and my phone is a lot faster than with 2.1 .... try to flash some different versions of 2.2 or flash one version twice to see if it becoms better. stock or modded

Just to make some things clear to you:
You say froyo 2.1, but it is android 2.1 eclair OR android 2.2 froyo. Froyo 2.1 is wrong

@remygo
Hi,
I would maybe switch to froyo 2.2 when the game called "fruit ninja" runs smooth even with busy graphics and sound and slicing. Can you confirm it is smooth also on kyrillos 5.7?
Br. Michel

after reading the first post i seriously wanted to give eclair another chance.. which i already did once but the devil didn't let me be in peace as i had downgraded. but i was wanting to give it another go.., but i tried I5800XWJPI from samfirmware which is a may release for Europe comes up with a different language.
i was very impressed with the speed improvement as well the the new market and new maps were built into it which is the first two apps i checked for version coz i loved the new market app.
gps locks in seconds so i took some tips mentioned by clarkkov to optimize the sg3.
i will see how the battery life goes with this one. phone is still not rooted nor OC'd no custom kernels yet..

great
Well i found fruit ninja 1.3.3 on 4shared, incl. Zen mode!
This version looks much better on my apollo sg3.
The stuttering i saw before on froyo was already solved by loading eclair 2.1 but now it also looks much sharper.
Thanks for this advice. It really helped me.

Well not ALL of us.
I came here because I always mod the hell out of EVERY device I own. (Playstation, Wii, smartphones, windows, etc...)
But getting back to the op... there were lots of things I liked better about my 2.1 (starting with the keyboard and the wallpapers mine came with.) But other than the fact that 2.2 runs seems to run Angry Birds a bit slower... I've been cool with it and haven't had any of the camera problems and other problems people have had.

Opinion on ROMS

I know a lot of people in these forums would tell me to try out each ROM and see what I like best, as I did with my EVO 3D. I just got my Acer Iconia A500 yesterday, and rooted this afternoon after careful reading and downloading all necessary stuff. Anyway I want a STABLE, sexy, easily themeable ROM and I'm not too familiar with Honeycomb yet, as my EVO 3D is still Gingerbread. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.
TIA!

kjy2010's Icy Faux 3.2.1 was a great, solid ROM. From what I understand, though, he is no longer here at XDA. With that in mind, Civato's Flexstriker is pretty damn good. I haven't really used any of the other ROMs enough to give an opinion on them.

Please install Thor's ROM v14.2 . It's stable, sexy, and handy. I tried Honeylicious also, and I can say that Thor's ROM offer much more useful function like the quick bar toggle and shut down menu while being smoother and quicker .

the best
If u want speed, stable rom, accurate gps, easy customizable and clean easy interface give a try to Lightspeed 2.1 with stock kernel.... smooth like butter, no crashes at all... very very good rom

There are not many ROMs available. You can try every one
As for me, I tried a couple of ROMs and decided to keep on the stock one. Just rooted it and removed all Acer apps.

Yeah like other have said, try each one and be sure to test out all functionalities you would use.
I like KYJ and CIVATO roms but for the life of me I can't get GPS to work. Only ROM that work for me is Thor 14.2 but that does not mean you will encounter the same issue as I have.

In my opinion if you want a ROM that is all the things you described civato's flexstriker base 8 R2 is really nice and its got a few different theme choices and also thors ROM 14.2 is a really good ROM as well just not as much with the theming

+1 to this.

Thanks, I'll check the flexstriker out shortly. I'm running Tabooyes ROM right now. Seems good, a bit of glitch/lag but overall pretty good. I do want. A themeable ROM though as this Iconia is my new fav toy!

If you want a rom, suited to your needs, then download a base rom, and take the time to learn how it works.
Hit up the dev threads, and the mod and android chef threads.
Learn how to change it to what you want.
This is how you learn things. Learn how to de-compile, and manipulate xml.
Know what images are called in particular situations.
You said in your OP, you wanted to know how to change things, to make it sexy.

I was running KJY's ROMs, but then when he stepped away for a while during the holidays, I suspected what could happen next (and it did -- he permanently left). So after that, I went back with ezterry's 3.2.1 "stock-ish" ROM, removed a few more things I didn't want, and then used ADW Launcher EX to pretty things up. I've been using ADW EX on my A500 since almost day one of ownership. There are TONS of ADW themes out there, and there are plenty of other customizations you can do in ADW EX that will make it look night and day different than the stock HC launcher.

Advice before flashing ...

Hi guys.
It's been a while since I test different ROM, I flash kernels ...
I do not even remember how was working my phone before that !
So yesterday I reflash the official Orange ROM for France, of course in Froyo 2.2, and brace yourself ... With the stock kernel ... My phone has never worked as well !
It's so fast, smooth ... Reminds me of the good times when I got this phone in my hands for the first time
All this to say, think well before flashing a ROM, put yourself in mind that Android 4.xx, or even 2.3.x, are not necessarily done to our little phone. Nothing will be faster for a daily ROM as Froyo ...
I think I would not leave again Froyo
After that you're only master of your phone, these are just opinions
* A story of someone who has tested all the ROMs available here ... *

Same for me, I tested all rom for G3 but i'm back to froyo because it very smooth and 2.3 or ics don't have video on HQ in youtube :banghead:

Well don't forget guys that cm7 and ics both are in WiP. So it is obvious that froyo well be better.
So its not correct to compare a complete froyo and an incomplete ics or cm7.
For me froyo wasn't so good because of the crapy touchwiz and no data2sd. I will stick with cm7

Even though ICS and GB arent complete bt still they are way smooth and better in processing than froyo....think of it as technology...it gets better with every version....n it seems laggy becoz of the fimg drivers and if now when the fimg drivers are completely fixed you can feel that GB is way better than Froyo...I think Almost all features are up and running now...almost......

I know that they are WiP, but i just warn some new users who wants flash those build without reading or follow topics.
It's sure that an official or a final port will be better that Froyo, but keep in mind that our phone just got 256 MB of RAM. Doesn't good for multi-tasking, and GB and ICS are improving in this case.
I hope some day we could have a full port / official GB/ICS, but with this phone, we couldn't enjoy all the possibility of those ROM's, i dont think so, maybe i'm wrong.
PS : Link2SD workin very well with Froyo. I never understand what's the difference of app2SD and data2SD, but i dont care if the app works

I find that 2.2 fairs the same by way of performace in comparison to cm7. But honestly i would prefer cm7 (if it didnt hav the glitches) because of how customisable evrythn is!

Kyrilos v10 is based on cm7 right, do you guys have any experience with that? I've been on Froyo, tried a couple of roms, and my phone's been acting up lately. thinking about flashing to stock. It's easy for me tho, I just need something simple with less battery drain for my girlfriend. She got herself that white g3, but I'm not so inclined to test things on her phone. Scared of bricking it and then what?

Honestly, in my experience you can't brick brick a phone! I mean you really have to try to brick it and even then you have to have a combination of bad moves and bad luck for you to unequivocally brick it!!! That being said, Kyrillos 10 is based on cm7 and I tried it and loved it. The battery does last longer, it does have fantastic speed and usability and with s2e you can save a lot of internal memory without sacrificing speed if you use a good class sd card (6+). The main difference though is how customisable it is in comparison to Froyo. Nonetheless, I flashed back to 9.5 mainly because the video camera didn't work which is a must for me. As I understand it your gf would be interested more in something stable with good battery life. Best bet for g3 is v9.5. And it comes with a very well written, detailed installation guide (if I say so myself) which is about to be updated...
EDIT: Apologies for speaking before having a better overview. I am not going to bore you with details but basically concerning your SD's class it seems that this is not necessarily the deciding factor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633) and by way of speed tests I researched from other sources on the internet (e.g. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/microsdhc-memory-card-performance,3011-12.html) it seems that the Sandisk SDSQ-8192-AC11M seems to be the overall best buy. I have already contacted a reseller in Germany over e-bay to confirm if he stocks them and if so I will be buying, testing and updating!

Best Rom I've ever experienced is kyrillos' . Recently upgraded it to v10 with CM7. I got my cell now exactly where I wanted it to be ever. Will use it till someone give me a free beer to switch on to something else

Exactly! You're warning people not to flash CM7 after all the hard work Marcellusbe has done and i'm sure there are many more people who completely disagree with you but they aren't 'warning' people not to flash a eclair/froyo/ics ROM are they? Basically, i think it is wrong that you are making other people formulate opinions based on your opinion when they should try every ROM themselves and make their own judgements like you (and I) have done.

Bro, it's just a warn ... Of course, if i have to advice someone for a flash, i'll say CM7 from Marcel' without thinking anything else !
I respect all the job doing from all devs here, but i just warn "new users" cause we can see some post in general section like "Help meeeee, brick my phone ???"
Just wanna clarify it, and make new users read slowly the steps of flashing...
No offense, anywhere

that is exactly the reason why I still make custom froyo roms once CM7 is in beta stage, THEN I'll stick with it!

[Q] ICS - Which rom is the most stable?

Hello everyone,
I already have tried the following roms:
- Taboonay
- Flexreaper
- Lightspeed
- Icylicious
All them are considered stable releases but I got some bugs, all roms got particularities like: Can't install all apps, running slow, battery drain, slow fps, etc.
Maybe I've installed a wrong Kernel for these roms?
Which one do yours recommend to me? I'm looking for a stable rom and not many features.
Actually I've reverted to 3.2.1 using Thor Rom v14.2 and I was glad but this release is a kinda old and I still looking for updates, like chrome browser and some ICS new features.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks anyway

Use flex reaper 10 it has a modded or tweaked kernel but the others to my knowledge use pretty much stock kernel. I find flexreaperthe best as of now till acer has released ics for reals. I don't get bad fps except buttons on shadowgun and I'm an android gamer.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk

Give thors v96 ics a try. Other than the camera not working. It is very stable. V126 is a little rocky. I am waiting for the next update to give it another shot. I am running v96 again until then.

I'm using Flexreaper R10 by Civato and this rom is wonderful! Obviously, like every leaked version, has some bugs, but not too much and it's stable enough.
With tweaked kernel in R10 release the quadrant score is about 2700, not bad for a leaked..
Everything is working good, also the camera,it's not up to the best working but it's good enough
For more info take a look to civato's thread
Sent from my Packard Bell [email protected] R10 using Tapatalk

I really like Lighspeed 4.3 + civato's tweaked kernel.... lag free combo.

As you can see what I am using, I like the Acer ring with mods with Acer print and lock screen, just watch out for Beta's. Use one that is one or two versions old, good luck
Acer Iconia A500 Rooted Running Flexreaper R7 ICS 4.0.3

currently under Thor 133, everything is fine.
i wanna give a try to flexreaper last one too, seems quite good

icy ics the best so far, very stable... tested for month no problem so far

Please do. I can't fix what I don't know about, and since there are so few posts about "supposed" problems with it as opposed to the other lengthy threads with mostly complaints about stability, I'd like to hear all about them

humm best rom i do not know for sure.. Only trouble i have with any of them is THAT I CANT RUN Them all at the same time.. Maybe i need a few more tablets..
But i do think its in bad taste to start a thread asking What is better . READ THE FORUM THREAD of each rom try a few and decide for yourself . Dont make it sound like a competition. all the DEV/ Cooks work together in this Forum. the uses should do the same..
Hi all... by the way Just been spending lots of time with the kid the last few weeks. HE Left today off to College. WHOOWEEE no kids on the house. Med school will last many years as well.

I was currently using last Flexreaper version but some apps stop working randomly. Someone got something like this before?

Dear erica_renee,
I'm not trying to make it sounds like a competition.
I've just asked which one is the most STABLE rom and not the Best.
As you can see, I'm not looking for features. I already have given a chance for some roms but they got some bugs .
I've made a simple question , so if you dont have any information to share here, dont post nonsense things and stop flame on my topic.

If you post something like this you need to give info on what apps and if you followed installation instructions TO THE LETTER.
I only got one app that closed not FC once a week and that is Asus Taskmanager , it doesn't crash just stops and restarts.

Just for information: From time to time, I had with FlexReaper some FCs with GPS apps, like Google Maps. Then I found out that the FCs were related to SetCPU, which I still had on my tab, although it was without function. After deinstalling SetCPU I never observed any FCs.
Best regards, maris

Most of the time if you are experiencing stability issues with these ICS ROMs is because of something else, whether it is an app that hasn't been optimized for ICS, or old junk from previous apps. Other causes could be a bad flash or some steps being left out when wiping a previous ROM. For the most part, if everything is done right, all the ROMS that these great chefs have cooked up are really solid. I never have issues with mine.

I'll have to agree so far I haven't had any constant problems with civato's roms. As of now their the best out there. From what I've experienced unless its in alpha or beta stages, something you did or didn't do causes your problems. even if its just an app you use or how you restore data.

FLEX
i recently installed FLEX REAPER for iconia a100, it runs incredibly fast and stable but i also notice my battery is draining like hell... and with ICS stock not...
i have wifi on and Hd widgets set to up date every hour and nothing else...
i turned the tablet at 7 am with 100% and now is 75% !!! with stock rom the tablet was at 90%...
even with that i like the rom...

Im looking for ONE version of a ROM to flash, and not have to flash updates after

Friend has been using the i9000, and I have the latest RC of cm7 on it.
She says that once in a while the phone will either reboot, or the screen goes dim and becomes unresponsive and she has to pull the battery.
I will be letting her have the phone as a gift but I want to flash a rom on there that is just rock solid (dont care about features). Just SOLID/stable as she doesnt know to flash any updates and I wont be flashing any more updates to it.
I was thinking about just putting on the latest nightly of cm7 but I dont see any changelogs for it to see what was fixed between the RC and nightly.
I was also thinking about Gamerzrom.
any more suggestions?

I'm running TiramiSlim 2.0 ICS, based on Slim ICS,with Devil Kernel, for a couple of weeks now,
smooth, stable, good battery and no issues

use cyanogenmod 9 RC2. Bug free basically. As for the freezing, are you using stock kernel? Cause it may be a hardware error. My friends phone had it after ics upgrade and all i had to do to fix it was install a custom kernel and bump up the voltages for the 100 and 200mhz frequencies by 25 - 50mV.

Flash her a stock rom, no rooting or fiddling.

Why not?
They say it's good, isn't it?
And maybe in few days she will be able to update to Jelly Bean automatically from Samsung servers.

No it won't there is no ICS for our phone,just go for AOKP M6 don't look any where else

ok so I've been suggested so far:
tiramislim with devil kernel
cm 9 RC2
aokp m6 (probably the one i've heard least about)
and a stock rom (I thought custom roms are supposed to remove bugs?)
to answer your question, yes it is on the default CM7 kernel

Yep.Custom roms always faster than stock ones.But if we are talking about bugs,hmm.. i dunno..Stock must be better at that.
If your friend is not using her phone too much,i mean just making calls and sms also music etc,flash stock rom and give ut as it is.No need to root.. Pure stock.
I suggest you to flash 2.3.4 JVQ.Then change CSC by typing
*#272*imeinumber# to XEU
Get latest open europe stock firnware from kies.With that she can get latest updates easily.

Decide whether you want to put ICS or GB on it before asking for suggestions I reckon.
DMORE 3.5 is a rock solid GB ROM with awesome features. If I didn't have jelly bean hunger, I'd be using that.

Its doesnt matter whether its GB or ICS, thats is why I am here, asking for THE MOST solid release of a rom in general
Had Dmore before cm7. found cm7 has less bugs

I'm gonna give a second vote for CM9 RC2. Before jumping to Jellybean, I used the CM9 nightly builds with the semaphore kernel. For me it was always rock solid, and still blazing fast. No bugs. Cheers!

I didnt think cm9 was this popular and considered so stable yet

ICS Elite 1.4.1, it's very fast, stable and bug free. It is also the final version of the rom so there will be no more updates anyway.

Flash latest stock rom of your country.. Flash a kernel with root, i prefer a kernel what is almost stock, for example;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332412&highlight=root
(make a factory reset)
Then install titanium to delete unnesecerry apps/bloatware
Install adfree adroid
Instals fasterfix en set the gps setting to your country/region
And you will get a really rockkk solid phone
(sorry for bad english)

You are the second person who has said that stock and not a custom rom will make it more solid.
Why is this? Don't custom roms generally perform better in most aspects? less bugs, etc

without intending to offend all girls on xda (who probably DO care about tech stuff - which is why they are here), sadly most if the girls I know are more concerned about the colour of the phone than which rom it has.
So, if said girl is fitting my terrible stereotype, then you'd be better off asking her which is her favourite colour and picking a suitably themed rom of the right colour! (as long as it is stable enough).
For all girls who DO care about tech: I apologise for perpetuating such offensive sexist rubbish! I SALUTE you!

Slim ICS for me after gamerz rom (last release often hangs for me each time I load too much things in App) and Darky (ok but got quickly crowded by apps and started to lag).
The slim roms allows you to have good battery and small memory footprint, then you add apps to it. Since a week, it's rock solid, I got half day extra in battery life too with my usage (mix of movie/media/3G surfing during 30 minutes commute each way + 20/30 min daily calls)
