I've been using Quarx's CM10 build on my Defy+ for the past few days and whilst it's extremely stable and relatively fast, the performance is not quite fast enough for everyday use for me. I was considering instead installing CM9 or CM7, but not having installed either of these previously, I was not sure which would be best. I would prefer to go with CM9 if the performance is significantly better than CM10, but if not perhaps CM7 would be a safer choice? Any other suggestions to increase performance on CM10 would be appreciated also.
In my opinion CM10 is way more faster than every cm9 build i used.
so if you want to increase stability and performance, use CM7
CM7
I've used CM10 but my device was running slow, I've installed CM7, never used CM9.
newest CM10 from Quarx is faster than speeding speedy gonzales!
got 3147 points in AnTuTu. CM10 is more responsive, and with right launcher (like nova or apex) works like a charm

Trust me. CM10 is better. CM7 might be a little better, but I think by the next two update, Quarx will make CM10 just as good..
So I suggest you stick with this for a week or two and decide.
I have only one phone and I use defy for everything. I run CM10.
Thank if I was helpful.
Cheers

1. There is no stock CM7.
2. CM based ROMs are good. CM7 is strongly recommended. Others reported loving MIUI which I've never tried.
3. Forget about HC.
OK so no HC
CM7 options:
1-MiRaGe
2-Phiremod 7.1
3-CyanogenMod 7
also
as far as i could tell the normal OC it to 1.1~1.3Ghz any special things i need to know?
Use plain old CM7 it is by far the best and you don't have to wait for the themer to update his/her rom.

My suggestions:
If you want an e-reader focused experience and plan to buy subscriptions and content from B&N, root their 1.4.1 ROM. You get a nice reader with the ability to jump over the Walled Garden walls.
If you want an Android tablet that can be used for reading books, go with Cyanogenmod 7.1. I run the nightlies myself, and have few issues.
Just be aware that the Android Nook app is nowhere near the same thing as the B&N reader. If you want that "B&N Experience", the B&N ROM is the way to go. If you don't care about B&N stuff, there's no advantage to their ROM, other than maybe the free-form launcher.
I just wish the Android launchers weren't all so grid focused. They make my tablet look like an oversized phone.
Ignore this post.
so... CM7 nightly build, use stock kernel? or is there something better?
Just use the stock kernel. I boot CM7 stable (7.1.0 currently) from SDcard using Verygreen's 1.3. I can't recall the last time I ran the stock firmware. Only reason I can see to use stock is if you subscribe to any magazines, or use their children's books. That is the beauty of running off SCcard, you can always switch back to the stock if you want to.

Dals overclock kernel is already included in the 7.1 stable. So there isn't any other kernels you can use anyway.

I'd put in a vote for MiRaGe.
Nightlies haven't been nightlies for a while due to build problems and CM9 preparations. This means that latest nightly doesn't benefit from latest fixes including those for SOD which also can affect the stable build.
MiRaGe has those fixes in plus a modular kernel which frees up more memory does seem to speed things up. It is a bit smaller as it has some stuff stripped out.
I'm happy with that build. It seems very stable and fast. I'll probably stay with these till CM9 matures a bit more.
moving to mirage from cm7
did anyone use V6 SuperCharger 9 rc4 with it?
Definitely MiRaGe.
No question about it.
I did CM7 for a couple of weeks and then MiRaGe for the past couple of weeks. No comparison. MiRaGe is much faster, much more stable, better battery life. Without a doubt, it's the winner of the two.
Haven't tried Phiremod. I have no reason to try something else.

+1 MiRaGe. If you'd drop by MiRaGe Thread's OP and review the changelog, you'll see there have been lots of improvements to the build including a modular kernel that is based off dalingrin's which is the base for overclocking and has the SOD patch as well. Aside from this, the signal icon/wifi bug on the latest nightly (253) is fixed as well. There's also an optional script called v6 supercharger that adds up to the total speed and ultimately reduces lags on your NC. Performance has been superb and I've been using it for almost a month. mrg666 also syncs to CM Repo if he finds anything new to add he updates it (like nightlies) and it's definitely worth it.
Tapatalkin' it from my rooted NookColor running CM7 MiRaGe [KANG] [7.2 RC] overclocked @ 1.2 GHz
Yup. Right now Mirage is the way to go. Combine it with the V6 Supercharger and you get a steady nice and mostly lagfree experience with quite everything you throw at it.
what settings to use with V6 RC9?
Hello,
I want to ask you just like it's mentioned in the thread title, is CM10 worth to install right now? Are the differences big between CM9 and CM10?
I am currently on CM9 latest nightly from Epsylon. And whose CM10 is better for now? Epsylon's or Quarx's?
Thanks in advance for answering...
Hi there,
Yes the current CM10 is quite stable and very usable.
The biggest attraction to CM10 is how smooth it is over the current CM9 - Installing Apex Launcher makes it even better.
The new features that were introduced as part of JB are all there and functioning .. eg. two finger swipe and Project Butter.
The JB default browser is the best and responsive browser I have ever used .. flick-scrolls through heavy pages effortlessly ..
I am using the Froyo based build right now though I have a Red lens defy.
Personally I couldnt last on CM9 for more than a day before switching back to MIUI ..
but now i'm hooked on the CM10 and even the dev are focussing all their attention on it..
in short -- most definitely worth the Install
About JB - Only basic things are functioning properly. But, if you ask me, i am using it as my daily ROM, as i use my defy as a phone
About ICS - Its almost fully functional, you won't feel like changing ROM after using it.
Thanks a lot guys. Downloading CM10 then...
I will wait a few more weeks so it's more stable. Satisfied with CM9 right now. (I'm always using Quarx' builds, Defy+)
title
i am using it as my daily ROM,it's developing very fast,but not stable as cm9
Yeah, it's not so stable as CM9, and honestly, not so fast. Epsylon's CM9 was really really fast. CM10 is in my opinion something biggest which our phone can't hold on.
After installing all my applications which I am using there is only about 50MB free ram. After one day of using there is even less and phone needs to be restarted because of hard lags in launcher.
I am going back to CM9, differences are not so big. But I'll miss the notification bar.
Hi, to be honest, my Defy+ isn't rooted, but at some point of this year (or next by sure) I will, and I will install a ROM in a really short period, so, i want your recomendation, what ROM should i choose? I don't want any theme or nothing, i'm choosing: CM7, CM9 or CM10, CM10 by that time will be improved, so it's practically CM7 or CM10, it's obvious that CM10 is better (JellyBean, duh ), but from what i heard, it uses a lot of RAM and performance is "Good-Meh" so I don't know if go to CM10 for JellyBean, CM7 for performance and gaming or multiboot both... (Answer me like if I were rooted, I want to do it but... I will see if I hurry me)
Sorry for bad english

I will go for CM 7.2, the last stable build works very smooth, opening apps, scrolling, etc, you must flash a camera fix for this build, replacing the Camera.apk and the overlay.omap3.so.
For sure the CM10 is a attractive choice, but in my opinion isn't more smooth than CM 7.2 yet, you have some features in Jelly Bean like Google Now, and some UI improvements, for example in the notification bar, where you can read messages, call contacts, etc, the called Project Butter, and more, so if you are a smooth paranoic i recommend CM 7.2, if not, give CM 10 a chance!

Thanks for the fast and complete answer, I think I will get CM7 and wait, because i'm in stock ROM, and I sometimes get reboot for bad RAM usage and it's SOOOOO SLOOOOW, so I think I will use CM7 at least for a while, thanks

And i suggest you to use CM 7 with the Launcher Pro, it will change you Android experience totally.
the best rom for daily use is Ms2ginger 4.0 ...... stable , fast , has the best battery back up , high quadrant , 720p and paronama .
After testing several roms on my phone (and friends defys :silly "close stock" roms works better
Thanks :highfive: maybe I will try them three (Ms2ginger, CM7 and CM10) because id I flash one my "fear" of flashing will be gone and that way I can compare, but I think that for stable at least in a period of time will be Cm7 OR Ms2ginger, i will wait for :angel: Master Quarx :angel: to fix a couple of bugs before staying in CM10.
Thread can now be closed
Obviously the Nook is a little underpowered. I put CM 10.1.3 on it last night and it feels a little bit laggy.
What does everyone recommend as the fastest/snappiest rom for someone not concerned about having the newest coolest version like my wife?
Number 1 response is Mirage CM7. But I've been running CM 10.2 nightlies and am quite impressed. Not quite as good on battery life but nearly as quick and every app I've tried works.
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
CM7.2 Mirage. Nuff said.
I've tried out many of the CM10 based ROMs. They're not acceptable for me due to sluggishness.
I need PERFORMANCE more than FEATURES. Gingerbread may be somewhat old, but it's lightning fast on the NC.
I can even play HD videos on YouTube thanks to the 1.2GHz OC (from 800MHz).
Thanks guys. I guess Mirage is the answer!
Currently on cm7,2 Manica Build

Why do you want JB rather than KitKat? Both CM11 and SlimKat are already significantly faster and more stable than CM10 or SlimBean, in my opinion. I've been using SlimKat 4.0 for a couple of months with no major issues. It's not quite as fast as CM7 (due to the increased RAM requirements of KitKat compared to Gingerbread), but it's much faster than any of the Jellybean roms. See my guide here for tips on installing, customizing, and improving the performance of SlimKat and CM11.
try slimkat as mentioned above. That's what i use daily and its stable enough.
OT: But cm 7.2 is still (significantly) faster and More stable than eg slimkat for the daily usage? Is that right? From your experiences...

CM7 is still slightly faster than SlimKat, in some respects. For example, when pressing the power button to wake the screen, on CM7 the screen comes on almost instantly, while on SlimKat there is a 1 second delay. Some apps also start and run slightly faster on CM7, probably because of more available RAM.
On the other hand, SlimKat is slightly faster in other respects. In particular, the wifi speed is significantly faster on SlimKat, at least in my experience.
In terms of stability, it's difficult to say. Both CM7 and SlimKat seem perfectly stable for me; no significant problems whatsoever. However, some users still report having issues with bluetooth, wifi authentication, and telephony layer problems.
