After getting a Galaxy Note, I'm giving this phone to my dad and I want to have the most stable combination there is that is without any sort of lag. Can anyone provide any recommendations?
works for me
Ramads stock deodext rom with semaphore kernel no lag battery 48h....
infact odex unrooted would be best, maybe even last froyo js8 i think it was

Correct, after many months of testing, the best most stable, no lags, no low memory even after open close apps and 3D games, no bugs, and with a fully working wifi, ad-hoc and call recording integrated...
Its Darky 9.5 extreme edition based on the froyo js8.
Combination i find perfect is darky 9.5 with speedmod k13e kernel with ext4 fastest enabled in kernel, with scripts enable in kernel, and with fugu tweaks 2.3.5.zip.
Modem i use is zsjpg but bujp5 is also very good.
As i said this combination is simply amazing.
Using any gingerbread rom i would start lagging, and had 50 mg of ram after a few games and apps opened...but with the combination above no need to kill apps, the phone just runs anything with no problems at all, no low memory...it just works.
Besides...latest GB roms gave me wifi disconects, dont have fully working ad-hoc..and there is no call recording among other bugs and lags, low memory etc.
oSerX jvt rom with semaphore kernel..Its the best custom rom ..Stable as stock with solid batterylife..Its fast, smooth n simple...
I'm on the other side of the fence as others here. I'd recommend to stay stock with either Froyo or if maybe GBs JVR version. Since that seems pretty zippy, especially with browsing IMO.
The other plus with stock is the battery life is usually better. Maybe your dad might not use the phone as much as you, but it's still nice to have especially if he doesn't charge his phone as much...

Battery life is a must, I'll give JS8 a shot and then try JVT if JS8 doesn't work out. What about GPS? Is there any decent fix out there for it?
Well GPS and battery life don't go together, GPS is a battery killer. If you have to use GPS then have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
I use stock JVT + Semaphore kernel, and I'm very happy with it.

I know GPS kills battery, but he doesn't use it very often. Once in a while when required.
My sgs is flying with doctors rom and my mix tweaks.

For you dad; I'd say go back to JS8 with speedmod. Or throw CM7 on there - I never have any stability problems with CM7.
JS8 or JSD (froyo roms).
In case he need gingerbread for some reason then I'd chose oSerX rom (odexed JVT rom).
most stable = latest froyo + no rooting + no custom kernels + no moding/theming and so on
Simplicity 1.5.1
The most stable gingerbread I've run.
No fc's and no noticeable lags. No reboots. I will not change till 4.0.

Haha. Yeah. 56000 quadrant score.
Seriously though I've had not one issue with it. My daily has been running for about 3 weeks now untouched. All working well.
Only time I had an issue was when reverting back old market. Fc market issues. Put back new market and all good.

As a senior member and owner of X8 for over a year now, I tried a lots of ROMs... even those in early stage of development. I remember, in April I tried lots of ROMs but I've always and up with nAa's miniCM series.
In the time of Froyo roms - miniCM6 was always the best and updated the most frequently... than dx came with his froyobread, and after, GDX. But, non of those ROMs were smooth as nAa roms was..
Now, miniCM7 takes over again! It's the very best ROM for X8 I've ever tried. Why you ask?
Well, lets start... Frist of all I use my phone a lot, all other roms become laggy after some time, but miniCM7 is as fast as just after reboot. no need for task killers. Also, a little or even no lags at all make this rom just as perfect for daily usage. Performance is great, I couldn't imagine playing all those games without a single lag on my phone... but than - nAa suprised us again...
He made nAa 10 kernel... High performance bacame even higher now. I use my phone just for WiFi and Gaming now, and all I can tell is - BRAVO!
My phone feells like new Xperia Mini... No lags, app startup is really fast, games do not lag... even those for "high-end devices" like Tiki Kart 3D...
Screen cuts.. I use overclock @729Mhz and I don't have any.. Recovery is also fine.
Market - FINALLY! FINALLY Market that works without freezing or crashing, finally Market that actually download what you choose (even if on slow connections) ...Finally Market without LAGS!
Browser could be a little faster, but theres always an alternative on Market, which makes browsing on X8 very best so far. New kernel rocked this part.
What to tell.. I just don't like this ugly ADW ..so I replaced with LPP+ ...nothin more to change, except the theme.... which is very nice but (nAa if you're reading this please notice if it's already blue you should make it all blue like "Volume popups" - which is yellow and it doesn't match with all other stuff.
Conclusion: how better can it be, I didn't found any bug so far... everything works as it should work... Finally!
So, nobodyAtall.... DUDE KEEP IT UP! Focus on improving your already awesome kernel even more!
Regards,
DDI!
Sorry, for this reply.
Not wanted to disrespect anyone.
But please try Trial Xtreme 2 on this rom with nAa kernel 10
No graphics
While this and all the games works fine on nAa kernel 08 b.
Please report this to nAa .
And also i tried CF3D...
No effect.
And i am damn sure that this problem occurs due to only the kernel.
I couldn't agree more, mcm7 on top of nAa-10 is the best that our x8 has gotten so far n btw I play most high end games e.g: dead space with no oc and without cf3d and it doesn't lag at all
As for vinmac try a full wipe that's the first rule when u have such problems
Sent from my E15i using xda
I agree other games works fine and performance is too fast
That is 1.5 times that of 08 b kernel.
But only trial xtreme 2 is troubling
Please try this game and report what happens ???
Hey man,
I tried the free version n it worked just fine, the only problem is that it took about 20secs to load but then it worked fine.
Try reinstalling it or deleting the save files in android folder on ur sdcard.

Hi guys,
I've been a longtime lurker here, and avid Android fan for sometime now every since I purchased my Nexus One. I've used CM and MiUI and all, but now am looking for a stable ICS ROM which can be used as a daily use ROM with ICS.
I'm currently on MiUI 2.3.2 (tried 2.3.9 but it seems to really be very unstable for me) which seems to work fine if not for the random reboots and errors from time to time, not to mention I can't seem to get the SD to mount when the cable's connected to my PC.
Long story short, which ROM would you guys recommend? I'd love to have CM, but since they're not supporting ICS versions for the N1, I'd have to live with others.
(if I'm just repeating earlier threads, please feel free to point me there and perhaps we can close this thread)
Thanks!
TexasIce or MeDroid
Both roms are in an alpha stage but quite stable and good enough as a daily driver for weeks now.
Medroid:
- More "Cyanogen"
- A bit faster and a bit more stable (imho)
TexasIce:
- "vanilla experience"
- Awesome kernel work
Thanks Pommes.
I was leaning towards Medroid myself, but seems like there's some controversy/drama going on there with the dev, and was wondering about the continuity of it.
As I've not blackrose-d my Nexus One, I'd assume that's something I'd have to do first, yeah? I've no need to be bleeding edge in terms of updates, but just would like to have my phone being able to update and not random reboot from performing any number of things.
Samuaz's laptop is dead and zyrex tried to sell the ROM, but Samuaz later posted the link to download it. Mods have locked all of his ICS threads, even the medroid discussion thread I created. The future of that ROm is very dim, but Timbit (and possibly Zyrex) try their best to continue its development here: http://code.google.com/p/nexusone-medroid-ics/downloads/list
dk_zero-cool is a notable developer for the HTC Bravo (Desire) and has made a very good ICS ROM for it. It seems to be based on CM9. He doesn't have a Nexus One to develop on, but since the Desire and Nexus One are practically twins, it shouldn't differ that much.
Texasice is another development god when it comes to bringing ICS for us in his/evervolv team's version. It's not stock ICS or CM9, it's their "remix" of it which looks really nice.
As far as I'm concerned, these are all daily drivers, depending on what you need for a days use of your Nexus One. If you absolutely must have a fully working camera, then none of these ROMs are daily drivers for you. If you accept that there are bugs and that the camera isn't working 100%, then all of these are daily drivers. I personally recommend either texasice's version or dk_zero-cool's version.
I saw dk zero's so smooth and working camera preview now
Sent from my ICS Nexus One
There's also MIUI ICS that's stable enough. Haven't yet flashed camera fix patch recently released upon that rom, but I heard it can fix camera preview too.

Thanks for this feedback, trying to flash dk zero's version now, having to Blackrose my device first which mean I have to flash a non ICS version as I can't USB mount my phone.
Quite an adventure just to have to work around as I had did a full phone wipe and lost my recovery in the process, in addition to MiUI reset wipe which seemed to have hung and I had to remove the batt to get it restarted.
Just set the custom blackrose partitions and hopefully can start flashing dkZero's version with hopefully a working camera preview as you've mentioned!

Thanks for the update, however after all the issues I've had with MiUI the last week or so and then switching from 2.3.2 to 2.3.9 and having to restore back to 2.3.2 as the latter was too messed up on my device, I think I'd rather wait till there's a more advanced RC or stable version before attempting to flash it again.
Not to mention, I'd forgotten why I'd shy-ed away from MiUI in the past, too iPhone-ish of a UI (yeah a change of launcher might help, but I'll give this other ROM a try)
I've been using medroidmod daily - however the microphone isn't working anymore (for the past two days) - so I'm struggling to rebuild it.
I have so far been unable to get Bravo ICS to install. I have blackrose with 16mb cache partition, and m2sd packaged with Bravo is not redirecting it to SD no matter what i do, and 16 is not enough for ICS.
At this point i am tempted to go to CyanogenMod 7.2 - daily struggle with ICS is wearing me out.
DK's is AWESOME....best ICS for N1 and its not close.....super smooth and great battery

Of all the ICS I think texasice rom is good one as its stable but as theshawty mentioned it gives vanilla experience. DK's rom is more inclined to CM9 and its just cool. Got into bootloop initially but after tweaking settings in memory management, I dont get any reboots. Battery is good and rom is smooth. You can try dk IMHO.
If you want something stable, do NOT use ICS. Simple.
Ive used both medroid and bravo, I think medroid 1.4.2 was very stable with alot of customization, I didn't personally have problems with the mic but I know others did, and Ive also used Bravo so far it has been fantastic for me so far, the dev behind it aswell is very responsive and gets things fixed quickly, the only draw back is the lack of customization between bravo and medroid, I just feel like i'm missing 80% of the options and tweeks i'm able to do with bravo.

Well, texasice's ICS and dk's are surprisingly stable.
Medroid 1.44 is smoth and stable. It already includes the last camera fix and a few other updates.
Non-HWA ICS Roms where always stable for me.
On HWA Roms I always had sleep of dead issues(phone freezing a few times a day), but I'm running Medroid 1.4.3(with camera preview fix flashed) now for a few days without problems.
HWA uses a lot of memory, so that could be a problem in the long run.

Well, I was on CM7.1 for what seems like an eternity (used to switch ROMs quite frequently at one point) but figured its time to test drive some ICS stuff and as long as it isn't constantly random rebooting, and crashing. Its stable enough for me!

You should use 4ext, then you don't have any install problems.
Bud I had problem s after recover all my apps. Only dalvik and cache wipe has cleard this problems (endless boot without cache wipe?!)
BCM is very smoth but without the stock email app (i need exchange for my job) it is not realy usable. After install it (stok email app, not gmail), i had a huge battery drain. Charge via USB was not possible (whats wrong!!!), battery is discharging...
Then I went back to medroid 1.44. Medroid is not so smoth like BCM (why not???) but with Nova Louncher (not with stock) it runs very well. The best ist ScreenState works realy but you have for both cases set the CPU governor to SMARTASSV2 (or onother stats but whitout ondemand, that is very bad)
BCm is very very smoth, like CM7, but batterie drain on my phone was frightening!
An other problem is wlan, higher than channel 11 seems not to work (i had test channel 12 to 13, channel 9 does not work also, all othed channels are busy)
PS. I have unfortunately not possible to post in the corresponding post.

Hello all!
I registered here last winter, at first installing a custom ROM, then the initial 2.3.5 official release - but in the end to be safe rather than sorry, I put in the official 2.2 and been using that for 3 months. Lately though, the 2.2 has proven to be hard to use, especially when typing and correcting stuff. I would be now willing to jump into the waters.
Last time I checked, there wa some reported stuff in official 2.3.5 about dropping calls - then there being a fix for it, and then report about the fix doing nothing.
To me I need my phone to function as a phone, at all times, the interface can be nice but it cannot sacrifice any phone related functionality.
All i simply ask in current situation: How is the official 2.3.5? How is .35 kernel based ROMs? Would you people recommend upgrading to official 2.3.5?
I'd also be interested in the custom roms, though as said, bugs, even minor ones I try to avoid.
Thanks! You people are awesome!
The official 2.3.5 sounds good for your use
Battery lasts long everything works I guess
But try aurora 2.02)
Definately upgrade

He's asking for stability and you suggest Aurora? Dzo is actively working on it, yes it's mostly stable, but for someone who seems to want to install a ROM and forget about it, not worrying to need to updating it constantly and encounter the occasional bug, I would discourage Aurora.
I recommend you Ezet CM7 .32 ROM, it's the most stable you will find at the moment. Everything works by default, even wifi tether. It's FAST! It's smooth, astounding sound volume in calls and multimedia overall, it's CM7.2, which has ics animations, including rotation, and that's beautiful, it has t9 dialer... better still, it has x5 settings app, in which you can tweak all sorts of stuff that it's simply not possible in .35 ROMs...
But best of all, it's 32 kernel, so on worries about the horrible job Huawei did with the .35 kernel, no missed calls, no problems with amtel screens, no low volume, etc...

Oh really? Sounds fantastic... I think that I could give the best try for - and thanks for fantastic recommendation. Sounds like perfect upgrade for me.
Darn. I got the rom installed and it is working quite well - but wifi is not connecting... I will wait and see does it rectify on the AP overnight - Can´t even test with other AP's even now - but this aside wifi problems in general has always plagued my huawei. And 3G is not free nor unlimited for me, and I am mostly home so WLAN rocks

Yeah... Well Text editing in 2.2 sucks without the arrow tool and all. 2.3.x is enough for that all at least.
Too bad Wifi also halted to function afterwards, I hope it is just devide name mismatch in AP and works fine after 24 hours.
.32 MIUI or CM is what you should use. They are very stable and fast.

Seems like it TTGWarheat, the Ezet 7.2 seemed like a great thing, but I still need to tinker around reinstalling some base system software I think, some kind of error is making my phone result in non-functional wifi and I want to know what it is. I may need to find some older possible 2.2 based stock rom dload, install that first, and then get into monkey business installing Ezet again...

I think that, at this point, it makes no sense using any gb based ROM when we have an almost fully stable ics ROM... gingerbread just doesn't cut it anymore for me... there are a lot of new apps that only run on it. But granted, gingerbread is more stable, no doubt. You have to decide, rock solid stability, but outdated android or updated android experience with the occasional problem
Sent from my U8800
Thank you. I decided for aurora ICS.
Elora
In my humble opinion, Elora is THE rom, a perfect combination of Aurora and Elite Roms, fast, stable, and with the functions that gingerbread should had.
They say, it might get some bugs, like the wifi or the headphone bugs, but I've been using Elora for the last couple of days and haven't seen none of thoose bugs.
Im using aurora ics and i can say that the only bug that i found was the grey wifi icon which never had that problem again since i flashed the init.d scripts for higher fps. So i trully recommend aurora ics. It was my first rom and im really happy with it. Your choice mate

I was using Aurora 4.1 but I found that the wifi went idle time to time and the 3g internet browsing wasnt the fastest, the touch keys wouldn't light up sometimes and some other minor stuff.
I switched to CM7 and I've been using it for about 3 weeks and its so much better imo.
Faster 3g browsing and the other problems went away. I use the wifi and 3g heavily for viber so its great for this use.
I really don't want to sound like a fanatic, but there aren't any wifi issues with elora.
