First i would like to say thank you to all the devs for their hard work and effort they put into these froyo roms. Let me just say that WOW my phone is 500 times better off than it was on froyo cuz i went back to superd 1.1 man, talk about a major improvement on, speed,battery,look,and stability... i missed my 1.6 and froyo is just overrated lately... but i suggest people go back and see what were missing out on some real speed and improvement..... will someone at least try it, and let me know your results/opinion. thanks
This should be general. Yes I am being bland about it.
I'm holding out on upgrading to Froyo. They are too slugish for my G1 and those roms drain my battery really fast.
I'm on a custom lite version of SuperFast v1.3.3. My battery life on the g1 is averaged somewhere in between 12-24 hours depending on the settings and daily use.
I felt the same way about froyo... overrated... Im on donut as well (supercsdiv4) and im very happy, the rom flies the battery life is good and i can play almost any 3d game i have tried.
there are a few good froyo roms but they are still a bit slow... im gonna wait for a while and see what the devs come out with
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, but as the other guy said, this should definitely be in general.
I have a feeling BiffMod and SuperF will be some of the fastest froyo roms, but for now, im sticking with donut.
YOu know I have ran a variety of Gingerbread prots including ones from virus, even Cyanogen. But for me these leave so little RAM left and it slows my evo down. I currently run Mikfroyo 4.62 because its just optimized stock.
It would be nice to see a highly optimized stock gingerbread that is official gingerbread+ ginger update.
I know alot of like the sense 3.0 lockscreen. I like that to and its the one reason why i sort of see myself switcvhing back to mikg every other day it seems liek adn more often lol. But As for slow downs idk if its the sense 2.1+3.0 elemnts or its just the sense 2.1 that slows down my phone. But it be nice just to see a optimized stock ginger. I know eventualy this might come out. BUt I would rather see a optimized sense 1.0 with 2.1 and 3.0 elements if ever possible due to performance. For me i get major slow downs. It is just teh phones not the developers because they do everything they can and i support each and every one of their works and each developer even if its a simple mod or tweak they do. Its our phones.
But till then I will start to switch over anf flash to mikg every other day to see about performance and start flashing to a few other gingerbread ones. (trust me i flash alot.. my usb port no longer lets me enter hard drive mode only charge on my evo.also tried other cords as well).
I am going to reprot my findings on each of the roms here eventualy and hopefully. But till then.
It would be c ool to see a stock optimizer developer go to work on the rom.
Also performance tweaks for higher sense versions can only go so far. (also battery life isn't an issue becaus eim going for a extended battery eventualy soo that factor doesnt change my opinion on the rom at this point.
Also im not some disgruntled person demanding things or whatever you might think it is, but im just here stating a few things for me and likely the same for a few others. Like i said i support allt eh developers and used alot of ROMS. its not the software in the case of performance for me. Alot of the ginger bread froms are fast just not as performance wise as the froyo version im running. And i do expect some degradation jsut due to a higher OS but i get slow downs just simply scrolling on every rom I have tried (cyanogen i just dont like teh feel of it soo not much performance wise is the reason why i dont use it just the feel)
Till such time i can see a optimized stock ginger + ginger updates I will experiment and report findings also whenever a higher revision comes out of a selecet few roms since software perfomance tweaks do do some good.
Thanks to all teh developers though for all teh hard work. We all appreciate what your doign and the time you spend on it. :}
Hello,
Just got my phone yesterday and this is my first android phone i am pretty sure my previous phone Windows phone was a lot lot better at most of the things and performance too!!
some times i see lag in scrolling menus,etc! on a Dual core it was hard to believe but anyways i hope it gets better with ICS soon.
So at the moment can anyone tell me where to get good apps (marketplace sucks to find apps)
and some ways to improve battery usage with keeping phone in push mode?
I would highly appericiate if anyone can give me a clue of good ICS custom ROM build there are so many builds and its highly confusing.
There's only one ICS thread for the Note, and it's on Development. About apps for performance and battery, i suggest applying either custom kernel (AbyssNote's or FM) and using SetCpu or Tegrak for overclock and undervolt. Custom launchers might help too, being Go Launcher and ADW two of the most famous. CPUSpy might help detecting any apps that are unlawfuly sucking juice or strange core behavior.
As a last Note, tough (pun intended) your dual core Android will never be as fluid as your 800mhz WP. That's the price we pay for the ability to customize absolutely everything.

Amen to that. Viamonte is absolutely right, some of IPhone and window phone users have little idea what a good Android phone can do. Anyway welcome to Android, it's worth the switch.

No idea, but it isn't. No matter how much you customize and alter your Android, you'll always find instances where it doesn't wake, or lag on scrolling, or screen changing, or whatever. After using a Titan, a N9 and a 4S for extended periods of time, I can easily say that's an Android problem, no matter how good the phone or the software is.
Except ICS, I haven't tried it yet...
Yes no android I've ever used was as fluid as an Iphone sadly.
I used a Desire and an HD on 2.0 and 2.1 and now have the Note on 2.3.
Android 4.0 is really stable, my kid plays games with my phone and he got gb almost everytime reboot twice a day, but ICS haven't even once rebooted in a month. And android 4.0 is really fluid, due to hw-acceleration, but still not 100% fluid i think, maybe because i have unofficially ics on i9000

Update to the latest GB firmware (LA4?), it will resolve all your lag issues.

I know, I know quad core, BUT people say ICS makes a world of difference on any device 4 cores or 1!!

Yes i saw that ICS thread but i was little set back to see it isnt stable yet and being stated as it wont get camera till official ICS rom so i am looking at a no camera rom for at least 2 months for sure so cant dive into ICS as of now.
Your reply helps a lot
Was thinking if i can directly go to install any custom rom although i found more than 9 ROMs on the first page and all looked so same but not being good with technical of android i was thinking if you can suggest me a good rom.
I dont care about the theme and visuals at all i need cutting edge performance and battery life thats the only thing needed/
Do let me know if you have any specific rom in mind.
I guess N7000 and your i9000 both are not the same so probably i cant install ICS in GNote (at least not the stable one right?)
After a great 3-years experience with my Hero, the time has come to say goodbye. The Hero was my first android phone and as we all know "You never forget your first" ) .
The bottom part of the touchscreen failed almost completely a few months ago, started having a bad experience trying to type text and use the bottom part of the screen on apps. I had a good deal on my new phone : Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) so I switched to it and I am very happy to see the improvement over Hero's hardware. It's been a good ride but the time has come for new things.
I want to thank all the devs that made and continue to make the magic happen on the Hero so it stays alive. Thank you so much for your dedication !
My heros bottom stopped working, just heat up the top part and put pressure on it and leave it over night . If you dont have your hero anymore then ... Goodbye
I don't have my Hero anymore but I've tried 3 times that and couldn't make it better.

Sorry to hear that, now that we made CM10 for it it could atleast be good for experimenting..
So for the poor fella here (ME!) with not much money to waste but with lots of time to test out the custom roms (especially with Jelly Bean) would the Hero be a good buy? and would it run Angry Birds and Where's My Water? (so that way my GF would not complain that I got a phone that couldn't handle her two favorite games lol)
Thanks
Well go with BeastSense or SHPONGLE for gaming. you could run ICS and Jelly but they would be fairly slow, slow as in Call of duty on pentium 2 . And in Jellybean or ICS you can forget gaming , Jellybean and ICS are just for daily drivers as in calling texting and stuff like that

Oh, so the custom roms that have ICS or Jellybean are not made for gaming? So for that I would have to stick to the latest Android that the phone can run (official firmware) Right?
Thanks
Well ICS and JB are not ment for better hardware then we do letalone our hardware It says minimum adreno 2xx we have 130 so no hardware acceleration. As for ROM use the fastest stable ROM i wouldnt go for stock since they are not OC'd and a lot of stuff is on so it's ****ty, use BEASTSense by icebox, he took 2.1 stock and made a beast out of it. Get a good OC app and OC your phone as much as you can (I can go to 672/692 MHz without any issues thats 100 MHz on stock) It should help. If you want gaming on a cheap phone go for something that has a decent GPU and RAM. Wildfire S is a good option, they have ICS and JB that i think you can play games on, but no matter what your phone is the best thing for gaming is tweaked low android version, preferably no custom UI like Sense, TouchWIZ, MotoBlur and stuff like that. There are some mods that can rip Sense UI out of a phone so if you want your Hero to be a gamer phone go with BEAST, OC, remove sense, get a light launcher like launcherpro and play
Hey guys when I got Nexus S it's official software update was at 4.1.1 so it didn't make sence to tri GB or ICS roms, it felt like a downgrade, everyone wants the latest stftware, right? But I recently got to thinking that when Galaxy Nexus came out with the first ICS people who had a Nexus S didn't really hurry to upgrade case they knew that they would be getting ICS asswell, but now with 4.2 not being supported ofitially it makes since to change the phone. My point is that eaven if GB and ICS are older the develpoment was more alive, so what are your thoughts? Should I try Gb or ICS? Whats the best experience you had in terms of music, video battery life gameplay (eaven if I never play games on a phone) regardless of the software wersion. I should mention that I'm a flashaholic so it doesent matter what rom I use case I get bored with it pretty fast, I'm always eger to flash something on my phone.
ICS is laggy. GB looks and feels outdated. Jelly bean is your best bet for a complete user experience.
1. Install carbon unofficial rom: http://goo.im/devs/Gingo21/Carbon/Crespo/CARBON-JB-EXP-17AVRIL2013-161548-crespo.zip
2. Install voodoo sound app and configure.
3. Enjoy a lag-free overall user experience (limited to most games) and great battery life (although i experienced the longest battery life on slim 4.2.1 v1.1, but not as fast as carbon)
4. Don't expect your NS to be as fast as a quad core device. But it can be on par with a dual core device in terms of UI and gaming experience.

Yes I know a custom rom isn't going to do wonders, I was just curious about older roms that I didnt try, I'm actually on Carbon, the last nightly, but the unofficial seames to be better than all the nightly's put together, thank you
ICS is generally the most battery friendly (can last days), but laggy.
Difficult to answer
I've been using Carbon ROM with Marmite kernel 8.5(bigmem), the experience has been quite good, much better than these low end devices i have at home. UI is buttery smooth and fluid. Temple Run 2 is a bit slow-ish but i dont mind. Now the main factor, battery! yes its not that great, GB was the best i hear. I think my battery is faulty too, might go for a 2450 mAh battery.

There's only one bug as of right now that i know of, and that's the copy/paste force close, which is hardly a dealbreaker
If you have too many apps, 4.2 will be very laggy and have a pour battery life.
But i dont know how! Gamerz ROM still feeling like im on 4.1! Its fast and the performance is the best for a 4.2!
I have tryed all of those ROM in development thread. This is my favorite .
ICS is good two. Is a little slow than 4.1. But i liked it.
Just try some ROMs for a day or two. You will be pleasured ;/

yup will do, I'm on the flash everything chapter now

amazing sys
Jellybean is great but using it on the Nexus S is a really bad measuring stick to gauge Jellybean.. If you use the last official 4.1.1 build the Nexus S runs fair if you keep it as a minimalistic smartphone. (defaultish). Still.. It's more than obvious there is some severe limiting of performance due the single core CPU and severely limited amount of RAM.. 4.2.. Eh.. Too much.. I tried keeping my Nexus S active as just an MP3 player but PowerAmp randomly hitches during playback.. I put the phone to bed...
I have to say that generally speaking JB 4.2 is the best system that our Nexus S can run and the best user experience. We all know different usages means different results in battery life, lags, amount if free ram but in any case I feel confident in saying that once you have flashed a 4.2 rom there's no reason to go back to ICS or even to GB. It feels like an overall better experience and performance. Still, I wish the OS were a little more light on the small stock battery but hey, it's a decent tradeoff. Most of the time I'm on 2G data only because that's ok for my kind of usage (mostly emails and twitter) and with that the battery is quite decent.
The only issue that I have seen with the 4.2 roms I have tried is that after a few days (4 or 5) the cached apps are not recalled very quicly when launched. I usually reboot once a week and the problem is gone but in any case I don't feel dissatisfied at all.
I love jelly bean works great
