Fast ROM!

I'm getting extended battery soon and don't care about battery anymore, I just want something that is blazing fast, any sugestions.. or opinions on nitrous.. sounds like a fast ROM
sent from my EVO EXPRESS 4g

Nitrous is crazy fast. I'm using Boot Manager, which runs ROMs from the sd card and stock kernel, still very fast. Normally, Sense ROMs slow down in BOOT Manager, but not this one!

Aosp roms are always faster since they don't have the bloat of sense added it eats up alot of ram that when.freed up really makes the phone alot faster

I asked same question. Been using synergy else 1 w/ god mode. 4 g. Downloads up to 12 MBs. Quadrant scores up to 1600. Midst have agressive freedom kernel for god mode. ROM is stable but no longer supported or under development

Faster must equal better battery life. In rom atleast.
What you should do is set the CPU at a higher clock.

I still have my upgrade, my dad is a phoneaholic and buys a new one everytime something cool comes out, he switched from evo-3vo-photon-et4g-gNote I inherited the evo first the 3vo was returned for the photon, he added a line to get the et4g then switched to att to get the note I hated the photon so when he went to att I got the et4g so now I have the et4g on my main line and the evo on my 2nd line, he has the note on his main number which was ported to att and has the photon on his 2nd number which is still sprint, the note is a bad ass phone, I wanted the gNex til I played with one on vzw next to my et4g and I like the et4g alot better just can't wait for a stable cm9 or AOSP ICS rom then this thing will be a gNex on roids, the screen is so much nicer being a super amoled plus vs just the super amoled

I loved synergy but I had a lot of small bugs with it
sent from my EVO swagger

Haven't tried a lot of roms but I tried Synergy, Energy, and MikG and MikG is really fast and responsive. I really enjoy this rom.

If ICS and speed is your thing, I recommend AOKP (now HWA). With the Mason Kernel + FSO
also, max OC (1152-ish) on the performance governor should do you well performance wise.

FXP115- CM9.0 FreeXperia Project is a rom im looking at right now. i looked under the development forum post for it but I need more posts apparently in order to ask questions. So does anyone know what the Rom is, is it stable, and what is not working with this rom? Plz and thanks

Tried both Darkforest and JJ's rom
Both had bugs glitches (part of the screen was cut off)
also battery life was shorter than gingerbread
switched back to gingerbread until / if ics as good

Darkforest seems good, ill try it later;D

Enjoy

I've noticed a small battery decrease as well from switching from GB. I had to underclock Darkforest to get the same amount.
Still great tho. Just a little slow.

I've only tried regular beta and Darkforest, but I did try 3 different kernels. I found the Darkforest kernel had better battery life than the ICS doomkernel, but worse than advanced stock (when they haven't been tweaked)
The difference in battery life for me between ICS and gingerbread is immense. And as you can see in the Darkforest thread, I had severe graphic errors, lockups.. I thought maybe my hardware was screwed but;
Went to jokawild with doomkernel 11 and all the glitches went away. And my battery life is 2x longer at LEAST. Hour and a half of use took me down to 60%. On ICS the same amount of time killed the battery completely. And I haven't even finished tweaking this gingerbread yet..
Also, ICS was laggy. Constant slight lag, occasional large spikes. Gingerbread when configured right is really fast. If you mostly want ICS for the way it looks and not features, get an ICS theme and stick with gingerbread. The new features, especially changes to system menus and browser, and gapps were great, but simply not worth it IMO.
As time goes on and things speed up, I'm sure it'll become more worthwhile, but not right now

Definitely Sony's ROM and kernel.

Ics kernel thread-- share your views [poll] + [discussion]

Share your views about various kernels for ics 4.0.4...
Tell us which kernel you are using so that many people come to know about devs...
1. stability
2.smoothness
3.battery life
4.oc/uv
5. extra features
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Semaphore is probably the best all rounder IMO. Good performance, good battery.
Devil might be able to edge out Semaphore in performance but that's if you OC it to 1400 Mhz, and that destroys the battery.
Glitch used to be good but there hasn't been any update since late March, so I really wouldn't count on it being too good compared to the above two.

I always used devil. Most options by far. If you just want a kernel, semaphore is always a good choice.

I've always liked Devil.. it has a boatload of options including supporting a swap partition. Excellent performance and battery life too.

If you want it easy and without big configuration, use Midnight ICS. Very good battery life, simple and suitable performance in every case. Quite stable, best Kernel for me.

Well, usually i wouldn't answer these kind of threads because there isn't absolute answer..but i just had best screen on time with devil ever for me, which was about 5,5 hours in a little over 12 hours of uptime..i think that's pretty good in heavy use..
But still it really depends on day and use..and probably you won't find big differences between all kernels (will at least i haven't)

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

I vote for Midnight too - very stable and packs useful features (fast-charge, Voodoo sound etc).

Semaphore for me, just a great all rounder.

I'm using SlimICS 4.0 with Vortex Fusion kernel, OC to 1440MHz.
Quite stable, no such thing as self-reboot. Battery can last for almost 2 days with normal usage.

I've always used Semaphore. Devil is also a good choice and I sometimes use that to compare the two.

Which kernel??? Link pls?? Is it an i9000 kernel ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Seamaphore
Seamaphore is the best i think for reguler day to day use, but devil has alittle bit more options.
I presonally use Seamaphore.

My best kernel is devil and semaphore.
Sent from my lovely GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2.

I saw that you originally asked in sema thread which kernel better battery live gives. Devil and Semaphore are the top kernels for our device, they'll both give good battery life. And don't forget that most battery is used by screen, so if you want to save some battery juice, turn the display off!

currently using Devil's kernel

Personally I got lots of reboot and force closes with semaphore, but not one with devil.
Looks like it may be my setup causing the problems with semaphore.
Both have been excellent for battery though.
Sent from my Android shizzle!

Tried semaphore, devil, midnight and glitch. All are good.
If you want to overclock then devil but as you are looking for good battery you probably won't overclock.
In this case I would go with semaphore. I have personally never had a single random reboot on semaphore. And I use this more than the others. In fact almost exclusively these days. Usually try others when flashing addiction needs a fix.
Midnight is also a good option for battery life.

120% performance increase with Linaro toolchain

I heard the Linaro changes are being pushed, I checked and it looks like it may take a little more time.
basically the Linaro builds use a toolchain that give android builds up to a 30%* performance increase
If any devs want to take a look at it, It's in gerrit (I think this is it)

If this is real, I have a feeling it doesn't respond to benchmarks. As most know, benchmarks are not real world tests.

You have to compare it to a GNEX, not using Nexus S. GNEX has to push more pixels and so on to the 4.65" 720p screen comparing to Nexus S with 4.0" display. I believe that would put a strain on the CPU?

I have question. In which part of an android will this be implemented? The rom or the kernel?

Good question. We've already seen that there's no significant benefit from linaro 'optimized' kernel builds. Should be interesting.
....memoirs of a flash addict.

CM9 nightly implemented some Linaro code in the build you can see in change log I did 2 quadrant scores at 1.4ghz & got total score of 1800 I then flashed the Anidroid hardened kernel b.13 which was build using linaro tool chain & got a score of 2500 phone did seem a little quicker but nothing crazy

Jelly bean miui

So I have only seen a few jb versions of miui out and they were not very good. I am wondering if anyone would be interested of I was to bring one to the table? If I can get enough interest in it I can try working my magic on it. I have played around with it some already and it is not too bad. Sluggish in some areas but I think with a week or so of work it could be killer.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

If you can get it to be stable, it'd be very cool. The only bad thing about GB MIUI is that none of the themes online are for GB anymore

They still have gb themes online. They are not updating as much but they are still there. Also I know that you want jb miui and have already put you into the tally pot even before you said anything. The jelly bean I have on my phone has been rock solid so that is not an issue it just lags sometimes mostly on the lockscreen and that weird second launcher thing they added. Although I am sure I can cure most of those issues with a little work. I was using for a couple of weeks before I started working on these current projects.
I will give you a copy of what I was using if you would like it had tronits first kernel on it. So far the only 4.1.2 rom that could run it that I know of and seeder. I will update the kernel and put in crossbreeder then upload it for you.

I think Tronit just updated his kernel with SBC

Yes he updated yesterday with sbc. What I was using was his first kernel. I now have jb miui up and running and playing with tweaks to see what will give the best bang for the buck. So far it has blackdone 2.1r1 sbc and crossbreeder installed. Tried xlound/bravia2 and that was a no go also MPEngine would not work either. I am checking out build.prop mods now and then init.d scripts afterwards. I want this to run like dirty diablo but right now it is just not there. The lockscreen is the worst. The lag is still there but it is usable unlike before where you never wanted to have the screen lock. Also most of the android keyboard lag is gone so that is a plus. Then last is to try and do something about this darn battery drain. Like most jb roms it sucks the juice like a top fuel dragster.
Keep your eye out there just may be a new jb 4.2.1 MIUI coming to a server near you.
