Hey people,
There's a lot of talk about permrooting the desire z etc. But i just want to throw this out there.
I like temproot via visionary. And i'll tell you why.
First, temproot is sufficient for titanium to back up your phone and restore it.
Second, temproot is enough to overclock your phone by running scripts in gscript. And even though you have to do it manually after reboot (ie lost root) it really takes less than 10 seconds after you have it all set up.
Third, if i've done something to create a problem (I mean temporary things like overclock, disabling packages etc.), i can just reboot and voila! Working phone again. However, i'm not sure this would make the phone "invincible" to tampering. Make sure you know what you're doing or don't do it!!!!
This is assuming you like your current ROM, like I do, and you're not too hung up on nandroid/bart backups. Personally, i prefer nandroid/bart from a good clockworkmod custom backup, but it's a tradeoff with having an almost perfectly safe rooting experience.

Yes but can you flash ROMs? Nope. It's a completely different experience once you start flashing. And you can always revert the perm root if you run into problems with the phone...
It's a good point you make.
On my G1 I tried all the CM ROMS I could try, and super d, e, and f. I loved the tweaks available and sent most nights flashing or testing ROM and kernel combos.
But in the end I, personally was essentially looking for what this current sense ROM seems to be delivering so far. Just my personal taste right now.
It was just food for thought for all those who may feel squeamish about permroot on their new phone but want a little bit more freedom.
I'm sure in a few months i'll be modding the crap out of this thing anyway. Can't suppress the inner nerd forever lol.

A couple month!? I literally rooted this and started flashing like a madman the second this was out of the box... where do you find the restraint?
HTC Vision/T-Mobile G2 w/Cyanogenmod 6.1.1&G2 Fast kernel.
Maybe I'm overestimating myself haha. When I finally got into super d on my g1 I was like "this is good, this is fast, just be happy with this" but still I was swapping ROMs left and right like every night haha
Once I was working out of town and I tried a new overclocking kernel first thing in the morning, got my phone all goofed up including my SD card corrupted somehow, used a blackberry torch to format and to get the stock Android 1.0 nbh back on my SD card, and had the thing rooted and running a brand new ROM by the end of breakfast. Lol.
Soooooo maybe i'll last a couple more days haha

I couldn't live without CyanogenMod. There is no reason to NOT permaroot.

Gscript overclocking is inefficient, if you want a stable and consistant OC with UV kernels you'll have to root. My 2cents.
I am very familiar with cm6, but I want you to covert me lol.
What makes the script oc inefficient?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You can't undervolt for screen off profiles or change voltage for smoother performance, you can only set 1 OC speed with gscript running at stock voltage. So when you set your cpu speed to let's say 1.4GHz with gscript it is always running at that speed when the power is on, thus using more power, even with the screen off.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Hmm. I am not sure about controlling the voltages (important for battery life and cpu heat, right?), but both set cpu and system panel both show my cpu freq as changing from 245 MHz to 1017 MHz (or 1420 MHz if i want) according to demand with a good half dozen other speeds in between.
Edit: perhaps i should note that i was using the cpoc.sh, oc.sh (or ohshitttt.sh), and noreboot.sh scripts i found somewhere. They seem to work pretty well so far. I don't know too much about mflops, but i just did one and my d z was 37 @ 1017 MHz and 49 @ 1420 MHz.

Thanks for this thread. Coupled with ianmcquinn's post about Permanent Root, I made the decision to root. Less than 5 minutes later, it was done.
...and I guess, sorry for the *bump,* but I'm new to this forum and hope you don't beat me me too badly with those nunchakus.
Honestly, I don't know WHAT I was thinking lol.
Actually, at the time, none of the custom roms offered anything more than the stock rom + oc, unless you wanted aosp on your dz or sense on your G2. Now, it's an entirely different story. Thanks to great devs (siulmagic in particular when it comes to diversity) we have:
Like 10 versions of Sense from 1.0 over Froyo, to Sense 3.0 over Gingerbread 2.3.4 and everything in between.
Probably twice as many takes on AOSP, mostly from cm7, but cm6 and other AOSP sources as well.
I think there might be five MIUI roms kicking around too.
If you are newly rooted, my top 3 suggestions for exploring new roms are:
1. Virtuous Unity: The ultimate in Sense flashiness, but also very quick and stable. Watch out for Sense Paradox too!
2. Osimood MIUI: the included kernel puts it above the others (right now). Otherwise, I think all the lastest MIUI builds are essentially the same. MIUI is something totally different for android. Don't dismiss it too quickly
3. SuperCM7: a cm7 build that just feels right. Fantastic performance and flexibility.
To be honest, I'm using SenseGinger 3.0 as my daily driver right now, but I've done some tweaks to it myself. I find it to be a very well rounded contribution as well.

Perm-rooting: its like temprooting, but several times better without the headaches.

For me thus far it's a tossup between gingervillain and virtuous, I love the sense feel and style but I can tell the strain it puts on my g2 when compared to running gingervillain. If i could get the htc widgets and skins on gingervillain with go launcher as the "stock" launcher i think i'd be set. all in all though my vote is:
gingervillain.
p.s: thanks to the douche team for all they have made possible.

CM7 nightlies have been awesome for me so far. Of course I did love CM6 too but these nightlies are very very stable and I'm loving the 2.3 goodness.
Enomthers TheOffical. I can't stand sense so as soon as I got my DesireZ I wanted stock, plus I love all the spare parts options I get to play with the phone even more!

Which ULV kernel are you using?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
CM7 nightly. Stock with no fuss and all the options I feel should have been available in the first place.
MIUI
Hands down MIUI wins
heck, even CM needed their help with thier FM radio
Its fast, its stabler now (1.2.4)
and battery just lasts longer with it, not to mention, better perfomance
I like its easy editing mode.
I like the dock that stays there and how it manages its screens.
I love that is has built features, other roms need apps to do
Wireless Sync Ready, Wireless Thether, ready ect ect
has some battery saving modes that really do help
Better theme management
Built it Back up app which backs up your system settings, texts. call, address. and apps
Simple setting guide with tabs in the button
I get around 12 hours with stock battery (with 3 hours of internet) and calls/texts
CM is good and all but just seems like a typical stock with a few added twicks to it
I have tried all of the G2 ROMs except for the ugly new ones. I would love to take features from all of them and put them all into one ROM, however I think MIUI wins because it is so very customizable and it's only getting started, although new releases are delayed because they need to be translated into English. With this being said I would love to take features from all of them and put them all into one ultimate ROM. However I am not a developer, and I would have no idea where to start.
I use the 1.85 stock rom, not because I like the HTC sense UI but becouse I find useful a couple of thinks, mainly the USB menu that can be defaulted to anithyng, and the HTC email app.
Also Gingerbread looks ugly on the DZ (unlike on the milestone I used for a whole year) because the UI is mainly black, and the black of the DZ's screen is so poor, so greysh.
My favorite so far is the CyanogenMod 7 nightlies. Amazingly stable for something that isn't even labeled a beta, has only the basics out of the box, and great battery life (even better with Pershoot's kernel). A big seller for me is the fact that I could customize the autobrightness levels which makes my phone much more usable in the typically dim environments I use it in, a feature which is also in CyanogenMod 6 (if not earlier versions, too). I also like ADW.Launcher so its inclusion by default in CM works out great for me. Gingerbread's simplified, higher-contrast, and more subdued UI scheme is leaps and bounds above previous Android versions once you get used to it, IMNSHO. Basically, it just makes using my phone more pleasant on a day to day basis and there's not much more I could ask for in a phone's OS.
Well I like my Virtuous 0.9.
It's pretty stable and I like the sense look and feel. And Virtuous just adds the goodies to that as well as bugfixes and some basics for essential topics (like vpn etc)
Eventho I does not use an advanced kerlen I am right now at 30% after 15h inkluding 100% wifi on, 2h contigous browsing while on subway and sticking around a while in the xda app.
And for sure moderate usage of sms and phone.

Which Rom and Kernal do you guys think is best when it comes down to battery life?
using Virtuous 0.9.5 with the advanced kernel.
only thing is that all htc sense roms seems to be a little "laggy" ... when i first got my phone i thought those htc widgets are awesome (friendstream, news etc), but over the time i disabled them actually all - so i'm really thinking about switching to cm7 nightly builds.
only thing i'm concerned about are the missing security "features" sense provides (disable the phone, locate the phone etc etc)
GingerVillain for speed, CM6 for stability.

anyone can tell for a perfect rom for dhd fully functional
Start here or here.
It's best you choose and try for yourself. Check out some screenshots too from the rom threads for style/experience ideas. Plus a couple of screenshots in my sig.
I've tried most of the ROMs in the devs section and I have to say that the Virtuous Unity ROMs are the most complete for me. It looks the business, runs fast and efficiently, and is 99% fully functional from first boot. The 1% left over is the best part about it though as this is fixed with patches almost instantly showing true commitment from the ROM developers and supporting devs in the very pages of this forum. The additional patches sometimes available not only fix problems but help improve the VU experience itself, ie, bulletproof tweaks.
Hopes this helps!

Ive been running cyanogenmod7 on and off since i first rooted (about two weeks ago) ive tried MIUI amd a couple of sence roms. leedroid and er3bus by jsl but keep going back to CM7
i think im going to stick with CM7 for now.
Best thing to do is just flash a few and see how they go for you. Everyone is different everyone likes different things.
fully functional, including dolby mobile and camera is deffinatly Revolution HD 5.2.6 and 6.1 except the small camera bug.
I am using 6.1 now...
I'm really into MIUI at the moment. (1.8.26 because 1.9.26 has an Android Market crash bug for some people.) It's quite a different visual experience all the way through.
I especially like the Launcher transition effects (cube), the option of up to 9 homescreens, the style of the popup windows, plus links to cool wallpapers etc. The only thing I didn't like were the ringtones so I installed the CyanogenMod ones.
The first time I tested it - I wasn't into it. I was CM7 for a long time.
EDIT: The Android Market bug mentioned above is actually addressed and quickly and easily fixed as per the FAQ.
`Just go to Menu > Settings > System > Language & Input Settings
And change your language to English (United States)'
+1 MIUI was the ROM that I was on for the longest of time. The support of the community is huge and there is an update every friday so you dun really need to check out the forum every now and then to see whether an update is out
It is a very stable ROM for everyday use and the newest version' kernel should be quite battery friendly as I am getting 2ma drain on standy which never happened before (Previously it was 4ma) and this is with WIFI + 3G + facebook + google sync on every 15 minutes.
Funny I just set my phone up with miui yesterday just to give it another go. I'm really liking it so far. (Don't think I'd fully set it up the last time before ditching it.)
I'm not a fan of the ringtones tho how did you install the CM7 ones?

Yeah I was the same - I don't think I set it up and gave it a chance before when I tried it.
To get the CM7 ringtones - download the CM7 rom (which is just a zip/archive file). Double click it to open it and go to system - media - audio - ringtones. Copy any or all of the ringtones you like.
Then on your phone - SD card - MIUI - ringtone - paste the ringtones.
Then you have a cool phone, rom AND ringtones.

Got it sorted. Thanks man.

I took MIUI off again. I charged my phone on Saturday night took it off charge about 8 on Sunday morning and by lunchtime had 50% battery, I'd only sent 3 texts and made one phonecall (which didn't connect) it could have been leedroids kernal as I was trying it out too but as for now I'm back with CM7

Hey guys,
First off, I don't post much on here, but have been doing alot of reading to stay "up-to-date". Yesterday, I just got the Nexus S 4G through Sprint cuz my Epic 4G took a crap and they were backordered so I said sure to the Nexus S.
I spent most the day yesterday looking for ROMs for it and found out about ICS and got all excited for that. So, after looking around I decided on Crossbones 0.1.3 ICS. Overall, I'm liking it but after using it for about a day now, I am noticing the battery life (in comparison to my Epic, which ran the current Legendary ROM with the Samurai Kernel) is HORRIBLE. I don't want to be quick to say it's the phone, ROM, or ICS though. Maybe there's a different way of closing out unused apps that I don't know about? I did just find that you can swipe away unused recent apps. Will that help?
Basically, for a ROM, I look for stability, battery life, speed, and looks. In that order. In GB, I always used Launcher Pro, btw.
So, my question is for those that use or used Crossbones, what are your experiences so far? Also, if it's recommended that I go back to GB for awhile until things get a lil better on ICS (I heard its coming OTA soon), which ROM are people liking? With ICS out now, searching for a good GB ROM has become a lil difficult. So far I read about MUIU (or whatever it is) and CM7, which my gf has on her Dinc2 and her Nook Color. I'm kinda "eh" about CM7. It "just works" imo and I think that's what they are going for. Def not a fan of the looks though. I also miss my power options in my notification pull down too.
PS-
That and I can't get Facebook to add to my account sync. When I go to add it, it does it, goes back to the accounts screen, but its not there. Very strange. Ok, gonna shut up now. this is long enough. lol Thanks in advance.
I've had my Nexus S for a couple of weeks now, I put the stock ICS ROM on the first day and during this time my battery has significantly improved. There are probably three reasons for this, but perhaps not all will apply to you?
1) I've stopped turning everything on, all of the time and constantly tweaking / fiddling / admiring the AMOLED.
2) I've refined how the device uses battery (logged out of Google+).
3) The battery has matured a little.
There's another side effect...
4) I've stopped worrying about the battery so much as I get a day of use from it.
Ice Cream Sandwich and ROMs using it are gonna improve in time. Gingerbread has been out for a year or so and has all this development. So from this there's a lot of potential from ICS...
I'm going to keep my device running the standard ROM for the time being as it's my daily driver, but wanting a device to potentially brick and hack. Thinking about the Galaxy S.

Thanks for the reply. So far in terms of battery saving tricks, I've disabled animations, the screen is set to about 1/4 brightness, only thing that constantly does anything is k9
mail to check my inbox every 15 mins (that I'm aware of lol). So it could be that my battery needs to "mature"? Btw, are there any good themes out yet? I miss my transparent text msg threads and I really miss my power controls on the notification pull down. I'm def not digging the white on the contacts and SMS screens. Lol

I think you're not getting many answers because your issues have already been addressed. A simple search will find many (most) ROMs with notification toggles and Facebook sync. I personally recommend AOKP.
I'd say it's just the rom. I'm on an ICS rom, everything works great and I have significantly better battery life than before.
I'm on AndroidME with Eugene's speedy-3 kernel. I don't have Facebook sync and power toggles in notification though, but I don't really care for those two features anyway.
Well I'm on Gomez now. Things already seem to be better. Absolutely no issues so far. I'll know for sure in a day or so.
Well I uninstall bloat.sys apps I don't use with root uninstaller
As for Bette battery life. Honestly think. What could someone do to the phone to put out better battery life. Almost nothing but SBC kernels and the CPU speed and goveners. That's it.
Most of you guys don't have battery issues you just play with your phone all day instead of doing your work.

A: that was fairly rude. I'm legitimately asking for help and advice. I didn't make the thread to be judged or ridiculed on my phone usage. I don't judge others on how they use they're phone, so why should I be?
B: I'm comparing this all with my epic. I don't over clock or mess with the CPU settings cuz that's beyond my knowledge atm. Like I said, battery seems MUCH better now with this rom . Now my only gripe is volume. Way quieter on this phone which seems to be a known issue. Trying out volume+ soon. Also, at the end of my day, I'll post my battery stats and see what you guys think. But like I said, I think its OK now.
Im on bigxie's rom and icup kernel im getting great battery life with this but thats just me.i dont know whats great for you.try this rom its somewhat minimalist or pure stock with just statusbar widgets and other features.no 'omg' tweaks that cause more harm than good.and it has trebuchet which is perfectly put into the mix.im satisfied with this .been with this rom since build 1 and ive been happy with its consistency.no bugs encountered

Thanks for the opinion. I'll keep that one in mind if this doesn't work out. Sounds a lot like Gomez. Gomez has basically just what you listed. I'd def take stability over extra crap. Lol
Sry for the double post,but to report back, totally forgot to post my battery stats, but they were definitely better. By far. Still not much luck on the sound tho. Got an app the boosts my media volume but my ringer wasn't affected, which sucks. Anything on this that I haven't possibly found?
I'm going back to CM7. 7.2 is out and honesty its just more optimized for this device. CM optimizes their ROMs to very fast high standards and do stuff a lot of you newbies can't even think of. (Yes, these will be implemented in BESTROM.)
So I'm going back. To smoothness.

You really shouldn't be so rude and demean other members of this forum like that. Frankly, no one cares if you're going back to CM7 or not. But thank you for your belittling feedback.
To the original poster, I'm running Pete Alfonso's nightlies along with Mathkid's Matrix CFS kernel. With a bit of overclock and tweaking of the kernel settings, I get great smoothness, stability, and decent battery life. To me, any battery life that gets me from "up in the morning" to "home at night" is fine, because I have my charger at my desk. But typically, I can survive a full 24 hours on one charge.
Who knows, though. Maybe I'm just too much of a newbie to realize the full potential of what my device can do and therefore it's my fault that the battery life is as good as it is.
Hey! I've just recently switched to my Galaxy Nexus, but was a Crespo owner since it came out. Been reading your post but I would agree that you should try out the AOKP rom along with a custom undervolted kernel for longer battery life.
I haven't really tinkered with my Nexus S in awhile (I gave it to my gf when I got the Galaxy Nexus) but the last thing I remembered was either installing aokp or cm9. In due time the custom ics roms will improve and the power widgets in the notification bar will be brought back, but they usually want to focus on stability then add new features little by little. Hope you are having fun your Crespo!

So far I'm still rocking gomez's. Really loving the battery life. Only issue I've had is 3g doesn't always come back after using wifi. Not a big deal tho I guess. Really stable too. I was thinking of using mathkidskernel but don't wanna possibly screw up what I got now. I'm backed up so maybe one of these days. Heard alotof good things about mathkids kernel. Heard good things about aopk too, so that's my other go to. Lol

sorry if that was rude but you have to take in count that
I myself is using modified CM7.1RC0AOSP2.3.7GB as base. But far as CM9AOSP4.0.3ICS goes its still not ready for folks like me for DD yet.
As I described below how extensively its optimized and most of it is outside the scope of current XDA.
What you have to understand is performance is not measured via synthetic benchmarks (ex: Quadrant). The biggest issue with people is that they don't know enough to know that they don't know, so they compare it with silly numbers (ex: score) they can't comprehend what they see, much less put numbers behind real life activities that's not applicable in controlled environment.
OS development which eliminates most of it but on software level custom base rom (ex: CyanogenMod) is highly optimized and tweaked to run on optimal performance. Mostly, but not all. But does it mean it can't be tweaked any further? (Rhetorical) No. How do I know? We (scope outside of XDA) tweaked it to the next level. How you ask?
1) Optimized ext4fs: reduced r/w rate (healthy NAND lifespan), improved journaling (corrupted data writeback integrity) = Which improves the IOPs and performance access rate.
2) HC3.x fugu binaries, patched sqlite libraries, mSD read ahead buffer fix.
3) Modified VM: OOM (Out Of Memory), LMK (Low Memory Killer), VM heap (Virtual Machine), DRA (Dirty Ratio), DBR (Dirty Background Ratio), DWC (Dirty Writeback Centisecs), DEC (Dirty Expired Centisecs), SWP (Swap), VCP (VFS Cache Pressure).
4) Increased minfree value: Background, Foreground, Empty, Hidden, Visible, Secondary, Content.
5) Optimized cache: File and Drop cache, Forced cache (resident loop).
6) Custom kernel: OC/UC, UV/SVS/VDD, BFS/CFS, RSU/NP/VR/SP supported.
7) Custom ROM: Optimized Rom script and props (ex: CyanogenMod).
this as its tweaked to THE next level. I'll stick with AOSP2.3.7GB until ICS4.X is more stable and we understand more as most memory grouping and adjustments might be changed.
I bet most of you only do 2 of those thing (6&7)
i suggest you try androiduser aosp rom with icup kernel. you dont have to do anything else and with normal usage you'll get 24+ hours
Since there isn't a place for pure Google Edition talk I thought it would be good to start one. This includes those of us who are running the ROM or have done the full conversion
How are you guys finding it compared to the Sense version? Better battery? Better Performance?
In my own experience it seems to match the Sense version in performance.
Edit : Just did a full conversion and it is now just as smooth or smoother than my Nexus 4. For some reason flashing just the ROM isn't enough.
Also games that went slow and stuttered on the Sense version are fast and smooth on the Google Edition.

I originally flashed the Google Edition ROM and noticed Lag everywhere. This time I just went ahead and did the full conversion and noticed that all the lag has gone. This thing is just as buttery smooth as my old Nexus 4 and I love it
For anyone that has installed the ROM and noticed it going slow I'd recommend the FULL conversion to get the best experience.
bought a GE and while it isnt as fast as the branded ones its quick enough as far as data goes. I actually flashed a sense rom to give it a try and its actually not near as horrible as the old Thunderbolt days lol.
Anyone got an idea how to decrease the audio level when recording a concert?
Maybe I'm lucky, but it seems to be faster than my Nexus 4.
I just can't get MMS working on ATT. Yes I've tried changing APN settings.
Sense

How did you flash the Sense rom? Just d/l from HTC site the RUU.exe and run?

Anyone know where the radio is for this edition? And is it ok if I have 2.24 firmware on it instead of 2.14?

My observations:
1. Phone heats up unnecessarily. Sometimes if I install apps from the play store continuously, by the 10th app the phone is hot. Turning the screen off seems to bring the temperature back to normal in <2mins. -- UPDATE: This might also be because my microsim is cut a little haphazard. Should fix after I stop by and get an actual microsim.
2. Battery life is poor. Have had it only for two days, but I seem to get ~18 hours on moderate use. The display sucks in too much power.
3. Phone is buttery smooth. (Quicker than my nexus)
Maybe I should have bought an S4... but the battery life would be the same.
HTC ONE 2300mah = 4.7in screen + 1.7ghz S600 + No SD + No plethora of sensors
S4 2600mah = 5in screen + 1.9 S600 + Barometer, IR sensor (for eye tracking) and a bunch of other sensors.
I've just done the full conversion. I had a ROM before and with the Elemental kernel it got stupid hot just in chrome but that was clocked at 2.0GHz. Once you've opened up dev options and turned off the animation it's a lot faster on GE ROMs.
I'll test this GE for a couple of days and get back to people. The conversion is total and relocked. No more HTC screen or red text. Just the Google logo, even got rid of the padlock.
What I want to keep an eye on is the OTA situation to see if it really works. No reason why it shouldn't. Changed my CID, MID and it's not even rooted, so if anyone sees an OTA, give me a shout.
I am interested to know what has changed between sense and the GE rom to not show song information while streaming through bluetooth. The driver stack should be the same yet using play music, the song titles do not display on my device (which they did with sense).
I rooted and unlocked it.. Then I DL the android revolution ROM and flashed it
