Why you just don't download the instagram apk from xda? I'm sure you won't have any problems. If you like inverted/themed apps, try this instagram thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594779
I currently use this and everything works flawless.

The new feastures include many adoption of features in ics, for example: swype to dismiss notifications, and rotation animtion, http://pocketnow.com/android/cyanogenmod-72-rc1-changelog-shows-adoption-of-ics-features

Well i flashed this to try it out. Quick as hell thats for sure. But unfortunately the CNAP(name display) for call display does not work at all. Just like all the other GB roms i have flashed. Disappointing for sure. I know CM had a patch for it in CM9 but not sure if it is possible to fix in GB. The best Rom that i found for call display is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710681 Name display works and the name even stays in the call log. Does not switch back to just the phone number like other ICS roms.

I just switched from using ICS for a few months (flashing multiple roms and kernels) and let me tell you, its SUPER quick. Faster than any ICS rom I've used. Its much smoother as well and the battery life is just about 2x better than on ICS. I miss the ICS UI but overall I'm liking the stability and responsiveness of cm7.2 so far!
Same here that's why I'm sticking with it

K guys
since we are flashing new rom daily lets create a poll which is fastest for us
for me i think cyanogenmod is fast
Oxygen 2.2.1 most definitely
...in bed.
CM7 nightly works great for me after setting the overclocker
#Devnull is the fastest rom out there. no question, it flies. follow by #oxygen 2.1.6
I'm on stock 2.3.5 rooted with the Touchwiz 4 launcher. Love it.
I would vote for MIUI (tried it, loved it), but went back to stock because no way to get to EPST and gvoice acts wonky on it in my experience.
i have tried Cyanogen, MIUI (all three) and Oxygen. Oxygen is without a doubt the fastest!
Oxygen is fast but has severe browser lag (just like stock) - I have changed to NScollab based on cyanogenmod nightlies. No browser lag and fast as hell
Definitely NSCollab with the new Matr1x 5.5 OC'ed kernel. Score's well on all front's & is stable enough to be your daily driver

SuperOSR [formally SuperAOSP] though I would say DevNull 1.1 is blazing fast too. Usually its compromise between speed and features. Everyone has his/her own preferences
Oxygen 2.2.1 is vefy very fast : much faster than 2.1.6
Oxygen is faster than Cyanogen, nscollab and Stock, for sure.
Battery is better in Cyanogen

Try Oxygen with matr1x 5.5 : helped me.
Also, you can increase a bit the minimum cpu speed to 400, but will increase battery consumption 1% per hour in stand by.

i'm kind of dissapointed, i was expecting to see some screenshots of bench scores
come on guys show us some screens
I haven't tried many roms, but it's hard for me to figure out a rom faster than latest NSCollab 1.0.38 with Matr1x kernel 5.5
I say this because my phone runs smooth like butter, fast like hell, good battery life...almost unbeliavable!
But in reality I don't think this survey is correct as I'm confident that fastness and smoothness is only a question of Kernel, not the entire rom!!
Quadrant score: 3600 - 3800
Vellamo score: 930 - 940
who told u lyk that?
70% depends on rom and 30% depends on kernel

Hi! Yesterday i got my Defy and I installed 2.2 update with Motorola Software Updater and I wanted to install a custom rom like MIUI or CM7 but i dont know whats better . So u can tell me please whats better from them? I heard that CM7 has some wifi errors but they can be fixed...
P.S : i have Red Lens and i want to put and 720p mod after...
try cm7 if you want more customized rom
MIUI if you want more display features
for 720: you can search google and the market for camcoder apps that supports 720p
I tried cm7 and it is wonderful
Well i heard that MIUI has better performance rather than CM7 in Quadrant...
Cm7 does not support 720p rec.

Quadrant isnt everything, MIUI have the looks, and maybe less bugs, but even CM7 is very very smooth and fast, am using RC1.5, i have not experienced any of the bugs (wifi/gps/battery), easily customizable as opposed to MIUI.
I've had miui before, but it seemed to be a bit laggy, comparing to my ipod touch's menu. The apple smoothness is just great and I thought I can't get that smoothness on my defy. Then I installed cm7 on my defy and, magically, it runs veery smoothly without any lags. thought Miui was good. Yes, it was, but cm7 is just great!
and screw quadrant, unless you want to be happy with higher numbers

I've been trying the different roms I've found here and so far the best for me is Waj's MIUI version. Maybe because I'm a newb, but CM7 started looping on FC after I tried to enable 3G only in my Defy.
And the MIUI versions just didn't do it. The only thing I need now is to add a 720p addon for the video.
Can we record 720p from a green lens ??
CM7 is a wonderful ROM
LOVE IT!!!

Some of us do have issues with wifi in CM7. I installed RC 1.5 + nightly and started having issues with the same routers that used to work perfectly in 2.2.
But I would not recommend CM7 any less because of that. Install and see if it affects you, as this seem to be a issue with only a small percentage of us.

Is this a fact? I was blown away by CM7 performance over stock 2.2, but I'm having some wifi issues with CM7. Is MIUI performance also so much better than stock?
Green lens does not support 720p. Only the red lens.
MIUI does have a better performance over stock but they are based off CM7 with added visual enhancements. There are alot of app incompatibilities and constant fc's. I have used MIUI but got annoyed with all the errors. Wifi is fine and they update every Friday but just too many problems for me. I am using CM7 now and I love it. No wifi issues but I haven't tried any nightly's yet either.

i own a green lensed Defy and i've flashed the MS2Ginger with Blur.
Gotta say i loved the interface (bright and bluish) and the text cursor is very usefull (seem like the "rule" in MS Word) and it has nice effects when showing Views and that animation when the screen rotate, just like iOS does.
but i it has a lot of FC, it's pretty laggy sometimes (the maximum free mem i got once was like ~100MB) an its 3D performace is poor.
i'll reflash again and i'll try a CM7. I was considering that JBoogie 3 that is based on CM7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158238&page=3)
What would you suggest? The thing is that it lacks theme support...
About that, does anyone know where i can find CM7 themes? Is there an overhead for using them? Is there a way to install "animations" (such this screen-rotating one)?
Thanks
(btw: what's the best Caller/Phonebook that syncs pics with FB? is a "caller" interface able to change the, ahm, "answerer" interface?
what about gps with loaded map info?)

Jboogie 3 is good and has a Ginger release but has an issue with no social network syncing. If you are going to go with something based on CM7 go with CM7. It has the theme support with the new Theme Choser and in the market there is a Theme Chowder Themes which has a large list of usable themes. As for the animations, I'm not sure about that.
Facebook app automatically syncs your pics but if you want a new contact book and dialer I would sugjest Phoneface. GPS, definitely CoPilot 8 live. All maps are preloaded so no data needed and completely removes the need for another GPS unit.

Hi!
I did a little ROM test.
Test requirements:
dhd rom
stable rom
all important function working
release date or last new version in this year (2012)
the development or the support is not discontinued.
Test process:
full wipe
clean install, themes, mods no installed
after the 1st boot, set up the wifi and add the google account
download benchmark from the market
wait 5 mins and restart
wait 10 mins and run the test
The results see here: http://hotlinx.net/rom-benchmark
Important! This is not a professional test. Only a little help
Wow... Thanks for the effort you put in this comprehensive test. The comparative results are interesting even though somewhat expected I guess.
But from what I've read they're not really a definitive indicator of the rom's overall performance.
Is it true that with little modifications to the rom you can double the test score without extreme overclocking and without any real performance improvements?
Wow this is awesome. Thank you. Gonna try out GB MIUI again. Numbers don't lie!

I didn't change anything (widgets, options, programs cpu etc.). All rom tested in original "virgin" status.
Of course you can change many things, but that's an another test.
It's interesting. I know "feeling" isn't exactly a science but i left cyanogenmod 7.2 to go to ice cold and there was a substantial improvement in speed with ice cold sandwich. So much so that I was willing to give up cyanogenmod which i loved, had all features working perfect, and of coarse 720 camcorder.
I've definitely contemplated going back on numerous occasions so my phone doesn't feel "half baked" with the graphical glitches, camera, some message notifications not showing up, etc. But the speed just feels so good...
Oh yea but the interesting part is it showed a lot lower in the benchmark scores.

My personal experience is the numbers sometimes don't show everything.
Example: MikRunny performance is only medium, but the feeling... very smooth, no lag.. perfect. Feel as fast as a MIUI or CM.

Hi all,
Any best kernel or custom roms for nexus 7? Can you give the link...thanks
My first flash is with TeamEOS Rom .
Things seem clean much less cluttered than stock. Can't put my finger on all the differences but I'm sticking for now. Some other more featured ROMs look promising, however this is an early stage and I want to stay close to source and notice problems.
See the development threads for links and discussions on all of the Roms!
First and last two pages especially
Also have heard of a couple good kernel builds. If I I were going to install today it would be Trinity 64. But we can always wait for PR release, if that is soon anyways.

Choosing whether or not I want tablet mode specifically for things like UI, Youtube, Gmail, etc is really nice. And Trinity is great for battery life and performance.

Motley's kernel is a great place to start in my opinion, it performs very well out of the box so to speak, so it will run amazingly well from the start and then as you want to start tweaking more and more, the ability is there in the kernel to get it as badass and customized for you as you want.

I couldn't agree more, paranoid android is the best. Its smooth, no lag its awesome... BUT for one thing and that is gallery doesn't sync. That's the only reason i haven't donated. Is there a way to make sync work but I am not finding it? Would love to ask the question direct on paranoid androids upload page but seem that is only for the privileged. Don't get that. Not quite complete without cloud sync in picture gallery working because lack of storage comes into play. :good: anyways......

Paranoid Android eats the rest.

Hello,
I may sound like a noob, but thats only because i didn't play with these roms much so far... so, yes, i am a noob
I managed to upgrade my U8800pro to 4.03 official thanks to some of you.
Now i am looking through the forum and many threads and many many custom roms, but i cant decide which one to go with since all seem to have problems...
So the question is: which rom is the most stable+fastest for U8800pro? It would be also nice if normal features (calls sound ok, network works ok, "notification drawer", gmail, youtube, play store, gps, wifi, tethering (wifi, usb), music playback, if possible radio, if not also ok) are also present and working. I really hope there is such rom out there. I dont mind if it is based on 2.x or 4.x (ok, i prefer 4.x, but if some 2.x is better, i will go with that), as long as it works well.
I also have U8800 and there it is easy choice. Go with Aurora, and everything (well, almost everything) works as intended. I also looked for Aurora mod for U8800pro but the best i could find is a mod for Aurora 4.x, while there is already Aurora 5.x out there.
I will post instructions for upgrading 2.2 to 2.3 to 4.03 later on, since i had problems upgrading myself for future noobs to use.
And thanks in advance

I managed to upgrade my U8800pro to 4.03 official thanks to some of you.
Now i am looking through the forum and many threads and many many custom roms, but i cant decide which one to go with since all seem to have problems...
So the question is: which rom is the most stable+fastest for U8800pro? It would be also nice if normal features (calls sound ok, network works ok, "notification drawer", gmail, youtube, play store, gps, wifi, tethering (wifi, usb), music playback, if possible radio, if not also ok) are also present and working. I really hope there is such rom out there. I dont mind if it is based on 2.x or 4.x (ok, i prefer 4.x, but if some 2.x is better, i will go with that), as long as it works well.
I also have U8800 and there it is easy choice. Go with Aurora, and everything (well, almost everything) works as intended. I also looked for Aurora mod for U8800pro but the best i could find is a mod for Aurora 4.x, while there is already Aurora 5.x out there.
I will post instructions for upgrading 2.2 to 2.3 to 4.03 later on, since i had problems upgrading myself for future noobs to use.
And thanks in advance

Stock Gingerbread
best ROM
nothing can beat it..
ALL custom ROMs for U8800PRO have one thing or the other that'll leave you unsatisfied..
Stock ICS is bad for gaming.
all JB 4.1 have only secondary mic (the one beside the camera) working.. plus, camera doesn't work properly except in stock/pre-installed camera app.
all JB 4.2 have buggy/broken bluetooth
If you don't play heavy games (even Subway Surfers is HEAVY for this phone ).. then you can stick to official ICS.. just unlock FPS (that "install-recovery.sh" thing) and all Temple Runs will be fine.

I'll have to disagree!
Rittik's CM10 ROM is probably the best choice. It's really fast, no lag, and with RAM Manager Pro and History wiping (long press home button), there is absolutely no problem (provided you disable apps to run at startup with Autostart).
Gaming is as smooth as stock GB, except for the games that are ridiculously heavy.
I hope I helped =)

I disagree with both of you. Our friend needs a stable ROM. So I suggest him to try Gingerbread(2.x.x) custom ROMs like THE STALLION ICS look, CyanogenMod 7.2 and MIUI. Everything works like a charm, no reboots, good RAM managment, a lot of extras(the last two ROMs) and no battery drain.
You can downgrade to Gingerbread by flashing step 2 from an official GB ROM.
How is this development?

What about wrong messages in systemUI ?? example- "Screen timeout set to 15 years"! ... "Screen timeout set to 5 weeks"!
"SDcard is damaged or has unsupported format"
"4G WiFi icon" instead of "USB icon"!
"No signal icon" instead of "GPS icon"..
What about disturbance in calls? You can hear your fingers moving on the phone's back! bcoz main mic isn't working at all!

The Stallion ICS look has no SRS WOW HD.. no DSP Manager too.
CM7.2 is buggy.. buttons backlight.. and proximity sensor.. Also, Awesome Beats™ does not work on GingerBread.. Beats™ is the only thing that can beat SRS WOW HD... CM7.2's DSP Manager is "just okay"...
Kalo is not themable.

Are you saying you prefer official GingerBread than CM7 or MIUI for example?

yes
but CM7.2 is also usable.. I'm on edited Genokolar's CM7.2
less deeper bass of DSP Manager is almost acceptable

i have flashed almost all of the roms available for more than a week each (time required to actually see if there are any hidden bugs)
The roms with the least bugs are Kalo and stallion ics.All the others have important issues (for me) thats the reason i didnt stick with them.In general:All ics roms are heavy and laggy,not for games ofcource.All "jb" roms have very serious issues such as awful memory management and awful incall sound,the phone's most important function,broken bluetooths,broken gps,broken wifi,and a lot of smaller bugs.
All miuis have issues,mainly low memory because of the heavy ui.
Cms are almost ok but not quite there.
I didnt want to return to gingerbread after all these beautiful roms but they are just that,beautiful on the outside ugly on the inside!
we have to focus on gb roms,they are the most complete unfortunately,unless a real dev shows up and work on sources

Aurora ics 4.1 with fixed "white screen" is the best rom I think. But it is my IMHO.

I never encountered such bugs except the oversensitive mic. But that can be fixed, can't it?

that's true,that's why they are so fast.But i can add some of the missing features with apps.On the other hand i can't fix memory leaks and incall sound with an app or play heavy games..I could use chainfire 3d for boosting performance for games,but guess what,it doesn't work with jb!

yeap,they are all there..!
My favorite ROM still remains CM7.2 modified by bronxitas with forumber kernel. The ROM isn't really on XDA as far as I know but it's based on the Moihack release most likely.

I didn't expect you would say that. I don't think anyone will agree with you.
Stock ROMs lag a lot, have locked fps, are unrooted, less features...
korekore I think you 've tried the MIUI I'm on with right now.
It's fast, it has a lot of useful features, it has the most free memory I ever encountered and minimum battery drain(all night 1-2% loss).
B U T I have installed only 51 applications like every ROM I used in the past. I mention that because you said that problems start to appear after a big number of installed apps(>100).
I think this ROM siuts me better than anyone other and it was a pleasant surprise for me.
I think I gonna stick with it.
Everyone has his own priorities and his own criteria.

I wasn't a MIUI fan but I love this ROM.
I like the feature you can access notification bar from any application even in full screen.

It supports another file. I don't remember the name(something like 99unlock).
Even though I prefer MIUI or CM7 or Kalo's ROM. That's my opinion.
