CM7 v Stock

Hi all,
for the last couple of days i've been thinking about giving CM7 a try. i've only ever used stock based roms so far and just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on the comparisons between CM7 and stock SE roms and what sort of experiences people have had with CM7.
many thanks
tom

basically both are ok but if you want the most gamepad compatibility stick with the stock SE firmware as CM7 tends to have more issues

CM7 basically removes the playstation from your playstation phone, i've tried CM7 a few times, but always gone back to stock.

I really like cm7 but not being able to play ea games or gameloft games with touchpads on cm7 was a deal breaker for me.

I don't know what your talking about. I can play EA and Gameloft games on CM7 just fine. Feels no different than stock.

So would you reckon that its not worth putting on given that i'll lose the features of the phone that were the main reason for me getting it in the first place mate?

Yeah thats the conclution i came too, on the other hand, if you don't game that much, CM7 is super fast and has some great features!

It's not that dramatic, you can keep playing emulators and many current games, without any issue. It's a bummer for Gameloft and EA games though.

i like stock more because touchpads are not fully working on cm7

thanks everyone, been reading thru some of the posts on the cm7 thread and people seem to have random glitches that, although they can also happen on stock, have swayed me towards sticking with stock firmwares. add to that the possibility that the touchpads will be iffy at best. again, thanks to everyone who took the time to reply and offer their views on the subject
tom
p.s. the leaked ics rom had nothing to do with what i decided on. honest guv

Interesting thread.
I was going to switch over to a custom rom but this has kind of put me off.
Is this just for CM7? (regarding controls)
I have this phone only because of the controls, but feel like I'm not getting the best out of it with the stock rom. What rom should I be looking at if any?
Thanks!

I got fed up with the amount of bloatware and things I never used running in the background, so I gave the FreeXperia PROJECT rom a go, so far I'm loving it.
The only issue is the touchpads BUT there are games that have that driver built in (Age of Zombies, THE DEAD: Chapter One), apart from GTA3 I've yet to find a game I like that uses them (Dead Space and Fifa not my cup of tea).
I mainly use FPse (touchpads not needed) and have truly fallen in love with my Play.
Each to there own though

I just got CM7 FXP054 fully working, and overclocked to 1.6GHz, on my r800x last night. The touchpads don't work on GTA III, but do work every other game I play. I'm loving it and I'm getting suprisingly great battery life. I still wish r800x users had more roms and kernels to choose from.

the touch pads in gta3, the left one changes the radio station and the right one moves your aiming when your zoomed in the sniper rifle, so they are pretty useless,would be nice if you could move the camera or look behind,maybe steer.
ive been thinking about flashing since i want to overclock to improve gta3 and just have a basic functions, never tried CM before, does doom kernel have working touchpads?

I tried GTA 3 while on CM7 and it didn't even recognise when the control pad was slid out thus forcing you to use on screen controls, may have been fixed in recent builds though, really hope that touchpads get fixed asap, as soon as they do, CM7 is my daily driver forever!

This is with FXP054
There are things about CM7 that I love: the non-sony themes throughout, customisation options built into the ROM, custom kernel (could NOT get custom kernel working on my stock ROM) AND MY BELOVED CRT LOCK ANIMATION
There were three issues for me though that stop me from using CM7:
1. Battery life is atrocious! I can actually see the battery percentage dropping during normal use, nothing out of the ordinary running and it just drains, from 15 minutes of facebook, 10 minutes of twitter, 1 hour of watching shows with Moboplayer the battery had 20% left from a full charge 4 hours ago. With stock ROM the battery will be about 65% after all that (daily routine)
2. Sound output just sucks. I plug the phone into my car stereo for my drive to/from work, no matter how much I play with the equaliser and all of the sound settings audio playback sounds bad. The bass is distorted and it's a lot quieter than stock ROM. I experienced this same sound output phenomenon with a different handset running CM7 so I think it's a CM issue
3. Automatic screen brightness doesn't seem to work at all

The only problem of these that I'm experiencing is the last one. The auto-brightness is all over the place. My battery life is a little bit less but not enough to bother me, and I'm guessing that's from my overclock.

I started using CyanogenMod7 in Febuary last year. When I got my Play, I messed around with Stock ROM, and while it was slick, bloatware free and fast, and I was impressed, it lacked CM's little tweaks I had to have. The dodgy touchpad support is a nuiscance, but a minor one.

Noone besides you is able to. I gave the ROM you claim works with these games a try, and it didn't work at all for me.
I choose CM7 over stock since I don't play any games that are broken on CM. Would be nice if GTAIII worked, but it doesn't work well with stock, so I can give up that ghost until Rockstar better supports our device.

[Q] Stock or CM for gaming?

I've a rooted KF with CM7 barebones and I've bought this device primarily for gaming, so I'm loving this ROM.
However, I do want to use other apps such as XDA forum app and browsing/reading apps. But some of these apps don't seem to be stable on CM. The irony especially is that the XDA app keeps crashing whenever I log in. So I can only browse the forum as a guest from my KF.
Now are there any gamers out there who are able to play games smoothly on a stock or stock rooted KF? I think especially games like Frontline Commando or Modern Combat 3 are heavy on the resources and if they play well on the Stock KF, then I should be happy with it.
Any inputs? Are there ones that really prefer the Stock ROM over CM7 for reasons other than stability - for reasons such as performance for instance?
Also, if I have a rooted stock KF and the anroid market, then are all the apps/games on the Market visible and installable? I am asking this since the CM7 spoofs Galaxy Tab to ensure compatibility.

I use MIUI 2.1.20 to play NOVA, Modern Combat, Shadow Gun, etc... I haven't found a single app that doesn't work (I've been using it for 6 days). Hope that helped! Feel free to send me a message if you wanna know more.

I'm running rooted stock and am able to play shadowgun without a hitch.

Have you tried GTA3 and Sonic CD?

well... xda isnt stable on stock either. on rooted, without modifying build.prop, it wont show 75% of the games you mentioned. cm7 is definetly a better option.

I've tried GTA III but not sonic CD

Just to throw in my two cents... while I do like the customizations that are possible with CM7 and ICS I find that modified stock is more stable and, for my usage, better battery life.

You should try a Xbox 360 or a PS3 for actual gaming. Just saying...

Because the PS3 and Xbox fit great in your coat pocket for on-the-go.... (rolls eyes).
I've had pretty good luck with the MoDaCo rom. You get the advantages/stability of stock with everything under the hood modded, including the build.prop, market access, etc. It's ran everything I've thrown at it so far.

Thanks all for your inputs. I went to MoDaCo from CM7-Barebones as I wanted to try the stock feel. The stock Kindle is way way better for reading thanks to the various font size and typography features.
Even the games ran quite well on the MoDaCo and I was quite happy all these days as everything was working without a glitch.
However, when I wanted to play some gameloft games - I have purchased Modern Combat and Nova series, then poof... they don't appear on the market. I even changed the build.prop but no go. MoDaCo says they have the tweak that will show the Fire as Galaxy Tab on the market for more compatibility but even that didn't work.
So today I am back to CM7 and glad to see that the apps I want show up on market. Need to play around and see how this goes. Sad that I will be missing out on the reader experience though.

I am running CM7 with ravens kernel and play many of the same games you mentioned without issue. I had to download the modified build.prop but have not had any issues. Battery life is excellent and since ravens kernel overclocks performance is good.

try modaco custom rom with ravens kernel. It handled all the games I've thrown at it. I get like 2400-2500 quadrant scores from ravens kernel compared to 2000 stock kernel. So if you want the fastest stock experience I say go for that.

I'm on GR6 but think I'm using a stock kernel. Do you have a link to Raven's Kernel and some install instructions?
Also, what launcher do you use with MoDaCo ROM as I can't get ADW to run (immediately FCs).

Here's the link to the kernel.

But yes...I try a full working ICS rom and a full working JB rom on my motorola defy...and its much better JB....:highfive:

JB is way better than ICS in terms of smoothness thanks to Project Butter (gotta love Google names). Everythin is so freaking smooth and fast. Im not going back to ICS or GB. Its just that good.

This is probably a really stupid question :silly:, but have they managed to get the fingerprint scanner working for JB because I know its not working yet on ICS.

Yeah I'm back to CM7. I was amazed at how well CM10 worked at first but the annoyances started piled up until I figured it just wasn't worth it. I'll wait till it's fully functional.
On the plus side, CM10 made me realize that Camera ICS is a great app even for CM7, that I don't need the Facebook app, and that some sites that use Flash serve non-Flash videos when you disable Flash.

Patience grasshoppas, once ICS gets released this quarter, then we will all have JB via CM10...

Only reason I'm on CM7 still is because I have to tether my Nexus 7 and tethering doesn't work without the source being released. At least Jelly Bean is phenomenal on the Nexus 7

ICS is good but JB is much better. No doubt everyone will fall in love with it.

Does CM10 work well with Google Maps? I was tired of in CM9 with the latest version of Maps having it always having the maps go blank and have to reset the app. Even with older version of Maps it crapped out a lot. I went back to CM 7.2, as I have a constant need for Maps while traveling abroad.
Other than that issue, ICS was super smooth for me other than a few games that didn't play nice. Really want to go back, and JB looks amazing!

yeah same here, back on "mokeeos" or whatever...
Cm10 just started to glitch lol

no drivers, no play

It's more like using generic/hacked drivers rather than no drivers at all. Without *any* drivers at all, we wouldn't be able to get it running this smooth. Of course it's not ideal. That's why it's labelled as a beta. If you need all of your phone's features, stick with GB.

Epinter's JB build is pretty amazing. There are a few things that don't work, but they are the same things that didn't work for CM9 (video camera, fingerprint reader, etc..). I use it for my daily driver.

What rom to choose for U8800pro?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stock ROMs lag a lot, have locked fps, are unrooted, less features..

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.

[SOLVED] Weird problem with video playback

So I used to be on Dark Unicorn Resurrected 2.5 (ICS) and recently upgraded to JellyBellyG1.1 (JB). Specifically it was this version of the rom without the nav buttons "3b. Dark JellyBellyG1b (Without Navigation Buttons)".
Before on my phone I could play videos from sites like vimeo and pinkbike no problem directly in my browser (Opera Mobile) they also worked on the new Opera Mobile 14 so it's not that. The Youtube app works and watching youtube videos from the browser plays no problem, it seems like it's just videos from other sites.
It seems like the problem is playing .mp4 files since I get an error saying "sorry this video cannot be played". I downloaded MX Player and it does play the videos (if I download them to my SD card first then select it to play via MX Player) that I want but I want to stream videos directly from my browser.
Well it looks like I can't post a url to a sample video because I don't have 10 posts but look for the "redbull uci-dh-world-cup-season-teaser" video. This is the one I'm using as a base to see if I can get other (non YT) videos to work (it does the same with pinkbike and vimeo videos as well). I get the error message above when trying to play it in the browser (note that it also does this in Opera and the stock Browser as well, I'll be trying out Chrome later today to see if that fixes it but I just like Opera as a browser for some reason).
Could it be some sort of codec issue? AFAIK droids should be able to play mp4 container files natively and it definitely did work when I was on Dark Unicorn so I suspect it's something with the Jellybelly codecs or whatever.

How about trying a newer ROM. I think you prefer AOKP judging by the two ROMs you mentioned.
Try Cnotes aokp its 4.1.2 I think.

Ha, you would be correct. I never got into Paranoid but I was on AOSP/CM7 before and it was alright but I think AOKP's ROM control layout is more logical and has more cutting edge features. Kind of like Fedora which is more cutting edge and "shiny" vs CentOS which is more stable/long term and for "Enterprises".
I'll try out Cnotes AOKP ROM. But do you think I should go PACman or stick with his AOKP ROM since that's what I like?

Since you said you like tweaks I would say PAC. Because it has pretty much all the tweaks from 3 big roms.
And JellyBelly is a bit old; its Android JB, but 4.1.1, Cnotes AOKP is 4.1.2, and PAC is 4.2.2. lol. The only bug is probably the headset overheating, but even that's not that bad when your phone is plugged in.
Hope I helped!

Okay so it looks like a new ROM solved my problem and I went with PACman, gotta get used to the Paranoid stuff still but it seems pretty straightforward and all the AOKP stuff works. I'm still not sure why it did that with my original install though, maybe it was some electric gremlins messing the original install or something.

Yeah you did. But now I'm having another problem with PACman Glacier. So I flashed 22.3 and it came with the 3.0.7x kernel which I was having a few problems with, I then wiped cache/dalvik and flashed the 3.0.66 coderzs kernel. Now on occasion it will say "Unfortunately system UI has stopped" and take like a minute to reload the launcher, lockscreen, widgets, etc. Is there another kernel I could try? Maybe downgrade further to 3.0.61 and hope it's more stable?
I'm not exactly sure why the above happens and I don't know the exact steps to replicate it but basically from idle/sleep it will do that when I try to turn the device back on. Could it be the governors maybe? I'm using Ondemand and noop (coderzs doesn't have smartassv2 or anything like that).

Well, PAC runs off of .66 and higher kernels so no .61
But older versions may be able to run kernels like that. Try 22.0.1 and under. 19.3 was the best version according to some posts. Try the .61 on that

Are there other standalone kernels that I can try flashing? Or should I try to do some test cases to replicate and submit some logs?

There are yes and no
U can find kernels to flash but doesn't mean it will be 100% compatible
paranoid ROM has no working camera also the aokp rom is actually 4.2.1 but it has a problem where after running it for a few hours it gets super slow and lags till it freezes
I have been testing all job ROMs except codename android or cm10 from 0.0 (which notorious, the link in the resource bible is wrong for codename)
Even though I would love to be on a 4.2.2 ROM for the stability I'm on andromadus cm10 it is rock solid should be official I think

Try Albinomans CM 10.1. It's 4.2.2 and its solid. I've been running it for about a week with no issues.
Its sweet.
Sent from my myTouch 4G using xda app-developers app

Well actually there is an issue basically the only one but its kinda big.
Dropped signal with missed call and sometimes random signal drops. Happens on all the 4.2.2 ROMs.
I am actually now testing the cm10 by 0.0, I was getting system ui fc on andromadus cm10. So far its running perfect and modified a track pad wake zip to work on the ROM.

This is true. I've just been using airplane mode to restore it. Seems to work. Declining calls won't drop... But obviously you need to be near the phone.

I'm surprised though at how good the 4.2.2 ROMs run on this phone, better than a lot of other older ROMs we have. As much as I would love to to be on that ROM I have to stick with something more stable though. I'm just glad I'm still on jb

First post so go easy on me ...
So been also coming across the obvious "signal drop after missed call issue" and the always popular "headphone overheat bug" in all the JB ROMs for Glacier. Been through CM10.1, CM10.2, Carbon, Albinomans etc. and always come across them. It's been verified that it is in the kernel of course. I have a logcat for both that I would love to get to the devs out there working on these ROMS. Not enough posts of course to get them to any dev. Any help is greatly appreciated!

+1 for the logs
Although these are helpful, try googling how to dsmeg or dmeg or something like that
Those commands are like Logs but are more helpful when it comes to kernel issues.

Here is a dsmeg kernel log. I think I found it right. HS_MNG seems to handle the headset commands. Though I was using earbuds with a mic and found that it was saying "no mic was found"...don't quote me on that... still new at all this code stuff. Will get the signal drop dsmeg when I experience the bug again. :fingers-crossed:

Regarding signal drop on JB ROMs, I'm currently on coderz carbon ROM 4.3 latest build. The drop happened again after a missed call. Just curious though, has anyone addressed that while signal is dropped, and you try to make a call, it says to "first turn airplane mode off" when clearly it is not in airplane mode. Wondering if this is just an normal android occurance when there is no service, or if this observance could help in any way. I apologize for the noobness...still learning
