currently running froyd and am happy with it just wondered whether someone has experience of both if so whats the differences between the two and which is best overall? Not interested in overclocking or anything really technical. thanks
I know someone will say it, so I might as well be first. Rather don't ask people, but instead grab a copy yourself and test it out. It's really based on your own opinion. Each ROM works differently for others.
With features such as nandroid backups these days, there really isn't much of an excuse for not trying out alternative ROMs. If you like it, then keep it. If not, then nandroid back. However, with that said, I think both are on par with eachother and both have achieved outstanding results. It really breaks down to the small things, which you'll need to experience yourself.
ok thanks 1 problem though cant see an option to download the fusion rom?
At this stage its kinda like comparing apples with worms in with pears with worms in..
Yes its different fruit but the bugs are the same..
I haven't tried either so feel free to shoot me down but the reason for this is that I feel devs are focusing on getting everything working (which is a good thing). But because of this I feel theres not really one 2.2 rom that particularly stands out..
I'd love to be proven wrong though!! still rocking out on cm6 nightlies....
both are same
i had fusion first and later came fryod so installed fryod expecting abetter but was really disappointed because both rom turned to be exactly same, same problems in both rom just looked like fryod was a copy of fusion just a different name. now i see fusion got update but fryod is still with same problem.
known issues-
camera is only 3mega pixels
no camera preview and force closes.
crashes when u try to view a flash video
no live wallpaper
no touck key to answer a call.
thiese problems are with both fusion and fryod
CyanogenMod 6.0 is the only Froyo ROM there is, and Fusion and Froyd are each tweaks to the CM6 base. Until CM6 is finalized or Feeyo releases his Froyo-from-source ROM, they're all essentially the same. Villain probably has some kernel tweaks, and Fusion too, but all the bugs are all going to be there.

Some more respect to the real developers.
I suspect your ROM will just be another compiled-straight-from-source-and-nothing-else ROM, right?
Hehe, I guess he got a reputation? Please let my previous comment slip then

Not necessarily, and 2: you misunderstood.
There are a few talented devs around, and I don't understand why everybody's copying CM's work.
CM is a great dev, but what pisses me off in the Hero section, is that everybody's ripping his work instead of trying to get it work on their own.
Innovation, make your own path, NOT imitation.
@orangeclanz:
I've checked your previous posts, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you're not really the best placed to comment whatsoever.
Secondly, nobody forces you to try anything. Just stop *****in'.
For those interested: I've finally fixed an issue with some keybindings; I will upload after a few final touches.
Well... I cannot stand the never ending begging for money from Villain and nprussel....
Villain is something like a tabloid newspaper for roms......
anyway, back on topic.
for me, difference is:
fusionrom 2.2 update 4 works great. really solid now. aside from borked camera, once you receive a phone call the trackball light notification works, the froyo-style apps2sd works (with the included cyanogenmod6 improvements allowing any app to be pushed to sd that way). it's very fast (4.5 to 4.7 linpack for me stock withotu the software overclock kernel mod). apps and games run amazingly well on it. has an issue where system.process.media (or similar) fcs after a while and after trying the gallery. I think that might be a gallery issue and maybe will be fixed soon, I don't know though. saw the same issue in froyd once but not again later?
froyd 1.0 works... ok, but it's slow. it has very nice features, the ext partition apps2sd support is nice to have (no manual file moving needed). however there are reasons to like manual moving as well, I'm a control freak, good to let me decide where to put it. but this ext parition method is certainly easier, really fast and transparent. nice. however the kernel is slow, 3.5 linpack (slow for froyo). also lots of random slowdowns. experimental kernel flash works really well and is very fast (got 5.1 linpack at 729 mHz on my phone). I did encounter some issues, not sure if it was my clock speed (which was always fine @ 729 on 2.1 roms but could be the issue still with jit froyo pushing it harder maybe). issues were google nav and some 3d games just quitting without warning and without fc messages. just quitting. google nav was serious, I was driving and it was just... gone after a few minutes. game was annoying, was playing monopoly, 20 minutes of playing, then just gone with no record of gameplay :-(. again that could be my cpu speed setting though, haven't tried further.
both ahve borked camera and no video (since video is just a recording of the screen preview... why on earth can't they write a REAL video recorder for android on the hero??? it should be possible... stupid screen capture video...)
Having tried both Froyd and Fusion, I went back to the CM nightly builds. The 20/07 build is pretty much there with everything except the camera and fb sync working. Have sorted this by using camera magic and syncmypix.
for me, this one is fast snappy and definitely the best 2.2 around currently.
@adwinp. U right.I'm not in position to comment here.so do u. Pls show some respect to other dev. As a dump user here.I do appreciate and respect all Dev works. At least I don't called it CRAP.

Well, then just don't call it CM-crap..
Yes, I agree that there are way too many CM-Mod-mods arround.. And they are all the same +/- some apks.

Once, more, you're misinterpreting; crap was related to the CM-rips, not CM itself.
I hope I made myself clear.
by the way, this thread really should be about which is better between:
froyd
fusionrom
cm-nightlies
the cm-nightlies are, imho, ahead of the rest. but they're nightly builds so you take a big gamble when you grab one and install it. However if there is going to be a successful camera fix my bet is that it will come from the cm-nightlies for hero team.
Just saying.... but for me I'm running fusion until some major progress happens from... someone

There's no mention of me asking for money, nor have I charged for any release. There's no begging, whatsoever infact. I mention it in my sig - but who doesn't?
I am a bit fed up of all the bad-mouthing I'm getting around here recently. We've not ripped anyone off.
We're in the process of making some pretty major changes/fixes to FroydVillain, and one of our developers is currently re-compiling a Froyo ROM from source - ie, pure vanilla.
As for which ROM is better... they're different. When we release our new kernel, expect over 5 mflops at a stable OC of around 748 Mhz.
Test them both, but before you make a judgement on Froyd, test it with the new (fixed) kernel - which is significantly better than the one Lox released. Ninpo over at the VillainROM forums will be more than happy to explain what makes it significantly faster if anyone's interested!
Anyway... less hate is definitely required around here
Ok- here is an update for both roms. THey are both WAAAY better, and most things are working.
Things which now work(both builds):
-HW ACCEL
-Audio, permanent mic fix
-bluetooth
-wifi
-most games, apps that work on 4.1.2
-overclocking, to 1.2
-all android 4.2 features now work after gapps install, but swype keyboard is still a little funny
*******things which dont work:
-screen wake up issue is no problem with new kernel, but with this 2.6.39 it just wont go away!
-still need to figure out a symlink for large obb files, etc. so there will never be a need to change CWM recovery/partitions for this android version
-I added the SIO scheduler and set it as default, works very well, but you cannot change it under >settings>performance, it is not implemented in CM yet, just use no frills app for now
-I also added lulzactive governor, it does work, i dunno how good it is.
******* I do not consider these roms daily driveable on this kernel until I figure out this wake up issue and symlinks, Ill do that last one once i figure out the first.
___________________________________________________________________________
-to get developer options and performance settings to show up, you have to go to >settings>about tablet> "build number", and hit that tab 7 times, it will count you down the last three, and then the two options will now be there under settings again for "developer options" and "performance."
____________________________________________________________________________
******-AOKP*******, all the features are there and working, nice and smooth, gapps drags it down a little but its good enough to see if you even like 4.2, im still on the fence here.
http://d-h.st/3ZT
*****-CM10.1-***** they now have "expanded desktop" ported from PA, so I can finally use CM for nba Jam, woohoo!!, I added in this option, to turn it on go into settings>system>power menu>and check "expanded desktop"
-I put back the old zram setup, you can now turn it on in settings>performance>memory management
-you can also add buttons to the navbar, so far only "search" and "menu"
-this one is better than AOKP, but GAPPS slow it down a little too, prolly need to slim those down some, but many are now required for everything to work right, I dont like this...it is what is is I guess, but its google being more like apple.

350meg partition, NO EXCUSES! both internal and external storage register as an SDCARD, while sdcard is emulated in the /data partition, I hope you are already 4gig, or you run out of room real quick. Of course, the partition table may need to be reconfigured, but my current goal is to symlink /android/data to the "original" internal storage,so the partitions dont need to be fooled with. any input or ideas are welcomed.
____________________________________________________________________________
Super huge thanks for BORKATA and TEAMDRH, as well as AOKP, and CM guys!!!!!!
cant do any of it without there contributions......go thank them.
Happy new year
You can count on me
Impressive you got this booting! I'll keep my eyes on this for sure
ok, im running a fresh build now. Some more issues I have found are that no live wallpapers seem to work, and there are no statusbar toggles. THis thing seems like quite a mess, but im pushing through it.
The screen wakup thing annoys the hell out of me, it doesnt happen with the new kernel, and with the old one all the logcat shows is that the screen is now active, cannot find what triggers it. I also still dont know what to do about storage. I think i might look into swapping the /data and /internal_sd which would give a little over 11 gigs, plus 2 or 4 for storage. It is hard to figure out how to do this with the new emulated file structure for multi-user. I think that user "0" would end up having access, but users "1" or "2" etc. would not. I just dont quite know how to accomplish this, and I want to avoid partition changes, so people can switch back and forth to older roms.
cm 10.1 link added to OP. MUCH BETTER.....still a LOT to do.
I can't wait. I should see my dock any day. I don't have any juice or way to charge it till then... I miss my gtab

whoa!!!
Gtab is getting more awesome. Cant wait to get my hands on a rom running kernel3.1. waiting for Fosser. U devs are doing great job . efforts appreciated . this so fast though using it without the gapps. Will load gapps and report back on responsiveness . But as of now awesome is the word
EDIT------(after 4hrs of using rom ) for work in progress Rom i can give this Rom a safe 85%. After installing the Gapps the rom become little less snappy /Responsive just like you mentioned. And The screen flash issue at look screen wont just go away. B/w is this wake screen flashes Rom dependent because am just coming from latest smoother Bean to this Rom and i dont seem to be having this lock screen Issue. Yet to load any files to see responsiveness with it too but will report back when i do
Edit------- This a great Release but sad i have to got back to smoother bean for two reasons .1) the screen lock issue it a big deal cos the battery just get drained before u know it (though u made mention of it ) 2) just a thought this the 1st time am using a rom on my Gtab that is 160dpi and to be frank i love the way it looks . Would be glad if we could have it on your rom too. Apart from these and proper mounting of SD and other things you am good with it so far. You doing a great Job and is highly appreciated knowing someone is already working on 4.2.1 and i must add it UI looks Good.
Yeah...its not perfect, some of it I need to fix, and some of it the CM and AOKP guys are fixing it right now. I ran builds last night, with updates from both...I hope to post links later, but I need to test them myself to see whats better.....or worse. The wakeup issue, is only this rom......it was an official bug from google, but it was fixed by them too. I am still on it.....i appreciate all testers who can bring the issues to the forefront so they can be fixed.
My main goal here is that when key lime pie (or whatever "k" they use) comes, we'll be that much closer to booting it. Im still on the fence here with the always phablet mode of this 4.2.1, but you never know whats next, and the transtion will be smoother if we are already on the latest.
Once you guys see "beta" in the title, then my credibility can sink or swim with the functionality of the rom.
until then...test away, and please keep me informed of what you find...THANKS!!!
yea will keep doing that and thatz for being on it

OP kinda says it all right now. I am working on it and it is much better with new kernel. I really need to slim down the Gapps though.

EOL ROM - This rom will not get any updates and I don't recommend using it, it is not very stable

As all rom creators usually say, I am not responsible for anything that you do with this rom.
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!
You are free to use this rom as base to your rom!

Thanks to:
@zuziemanis for Atila Rom
@[email protected] for 4-Way Reboot menu and some patches
@rom~addict5555 for encourage me to do this
@Android-Banjarmasin for new build.prop
Patches/Tricks:
Improve battery
open boeffla config app and use these voltage values in cpu/gpu: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/guide-galaxy-s3-cpu-gpu-overclocking-t1827635; then disable logcat and touch boost in the same app;
also close apps using greenify.
Doing this should improve battery a little without performance loss.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to new build.prop, battery lasts longer. Anyways it's even better if you follow this.
----------------------------------
V2 Black Screen Fix (and a nice build.prop update for those lazy people like me who are still using v1):

wow! congrats bro youre amazing!?
is there any other link or mirror? cant download
the rom.. very slow dwnload transfer..
i really wanna try your rom
Doesn't boot
Works well . Thanks
so I will try again.
I like this "enhanced" version of Atila, works very smooth.
I now try all kernel for 4.4.4 and i tell you if they are working.
Nice work
Sorry for my bad English.
screenshots ?
@JCFB
downloaded..
installed..
testing..
1st impression after few mins... very good..
will report back later
thanks for your effort bro!???
Yes it works very well. thank you
Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy with my personal life and school. thanks to all people who tried this... I was thinking that nobody would see any improvment over atila. About slow downloads, i have a limited network, but I'll make a mirror on google drive soon. Pm or post here if you find some problem, i'll try to solve it

That must happen beacuase of the apps that I included or because I tweaked build.prop for better wifi and 3g connections, but I already included greenify and boeffla config because of battery, let me see which app/tweak drains the battery and i'll try to provide a fix
Working good, did a clean install.
Atila was already good but its okay to get more options
Boeffla app is saying it better be as a regular app and not a system one...
I did take care of that... seems fine now.
Nice mod here! Thanks.

That's not true, this ROM has so many improvements from stock atila
The battery life is awesome (When I remove and changed the build.prop tweaks) memory usage is good, its around 400-500MB used
And things that I love so much is the system size, its 700mb. I debloat it more to 550MB so I can repartition with repit to give more free on internal storage lol
But dev, can You port the Smart Pause feature on this ROM? That would be nice
Im a tad confused... are there just enough differences between stock and LOS/AOSP roms that it really warrants separate kernels?
Stock seems pretty darn close to LOS to me...

Far more to it than the differences on the surface that you see. With regards to your concern about kernels. Most of the Pie rom's here use EAS kernels which at this point have made the default HMP kernel on stock fairly meaningless. Performance and battery life has become so much better now that the most used kernel Artemis has matured alot. Alongside Neutrino as well. Either of these kernels offer better performance and battery life over stock. So this won't be a different in features or amount of apps installed but rather almost a very different feel to the phone. Case in point scrolling on large mounds of text or say the Play Store is leaps and bounds smoother on an EAS kernel vs an HMP kernel. Hope this helps

I finally rooted and flashed a good kernel, putting it under test ATM.
I wanted to ask if flashing the XXX NoLimits magisk module worth it and really improves the experience on the OP 8 Pro, since it's not a ROM, it's only a Magisk module (flash type).
I don't mean anything to the team, I heard it was great but I just don't want to mess my phone up with modules and other things, thanks

I used to flash xxx on the OnePlus 5, it was a full ROM back then but it was the best out of them all..
If the module is anything like the ROM then yes it's well well worth it, the developer gets so much right so for me it would be a go to ROM / Magisk ROM
I wouldn't even touch the optimization settings and stuff, no modern device needs them.
Maybe only debloat but that's it.

Id 100% turn off the page file no device with more that 4GB ram needs swap storage certainly not a phone with 12GB, the improvement in regards to gaming is night and day, so yep there is that.
Haven't flashed xXx so not sure what is on offer.
I have a saved config file from my time with the OnePlus 5 with xXx so I'll check on that and whatevers new.

Same, I have the 12gb RAM version so I don't think that any of these tweaks would really help, but I'll try some in the future, you know, we don't have much at the moment, the price of the phone is really high.
I run xXx with my own custom config on a OP8Pro 12GB/256GB with most tweaks emailed and zram disabled completely. Runs noticably faster overall. Snappier and launch times are super low. Also, even tho audio is good, the Viper + Dolby mod from xXx takes the speakers to a whooooole new level lol.
I always ran xXx on my old OP5 as well and it was great even tho I switched to Paranoid after a while just because I really love that UI style and customization. When PA Quartz is a bit more stable on the OP8Pro I will switch anyways but with xXx the stock ROM doesn't really miss anything that EdXposed and Gravitybox + Button Mapper + GCam can't fix like battery circle with percentage in it and flashlight shortcuts.

I rooted and flashed xXx along with Smurf kernel but I'm facing some issues with battery life, it's draining slightly faster than before. Other than that, the device is so responsive, fast and fluid.
I disabled zRAM completely and kept it all stock, that's the weird part but I hope I get better results this week. ??

Well, there's your problem. Smurf kernel.
I would stay very far away from that kernel.

Why? I think it mainly aims for performance and of course some battery improvements but not that much, it's not that bad.

That kernel is all about overclock and obselete poorly coded "tweaks" that are not need on a modern smartphone, especially not on Snapdragon 865.

You know better than me, I'm not much into these things but you know, one that says it's great and the other says it's bad, the only way to know is to test it myself.
I tested the kernel, it's close to stock in terms of performance but the battery in stock is better.
The reason I'm using it is because I'm running xXx module which is best with Smurf kernel but I might get everything back to stock and test another kernel without the xXx module. Any recommendations?
EDIT: I just flashed blu spark kernel, I'll test it and tell you how it performs ?

Haven't flashed it but tbh the 865 is a beast of chip, it can easily run Dreamcast ROMs which is just staggering really. To push the chip any further is just not required.
For me if you can obtain the performance you get from the stock kernel and save battery then go for whatever that kernel is, from experience on all my device save maybe the galaxy S3 the stock kernel usually provides the best balance of performance / stamina, all the more so with current chipsets.
Aim for battery, performance should take care of itself.
If you're pushing for more performance I would ask myself for what?
I personally push my device more than most, not all the time but the emulators I run are probably the most demanding programs you can get on Android, if I'm good with the output of FPS on them at stock then I think you'll be fine too.

You're right, even though I flashed some kernels but I didn't really notice any improvements in the performance, the device is too fast and doesn't need junk tweaks to be improved, but the battery is better now with the kernel I'm running. Thanks for advising me brother
