lol nice.
just to be helpful, here's a quote from a post of mine.
ok, here goes.
first of all, yes this has been asked a thousand times per day, but people have fun answering them
sense roms are based off stock evo sprint software. if you like sense roms, you best choices will be:
myn's warm twopointtwo, for a smooth, themed, and slick stockish experiance, try this oldie but goodie.
mikfroyo, updated more often. optimized way over the top. i personally don't like the theme, and think if you want that speed go for aosp, but whatever. a bunch of people like it.
koni's elite. one of the newer good sense roms. good themeing. fast. optimized. everything else the other two have, just different...
aosp roms are based off stock google source code. they are not built for the evo (or until like 2 weeks ago, not built for sprint, cdma, or wimax) but have been ported exelently. these are much faster than sense, and about half the size. they have a different look, feel, and functionality though. they are based on gingerbread, not froyo like stock evo.
cm7 (cyanogenmod 7): simply the best. most other aosp roms based off of this. a gigantic project that spans across ~30 phones with ~24 official developers and many more unnoficially contributing to the open sourced code. fast, stable, WORKING 4G AND HDMI!!! (took monts to do those 2). everything works (except 720p video recording, but 480 is just as good). really, try this one first. nightlys are released every night, stables are not. you can see the very complicated changelog along with links here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
miui: based (sorta i think) off cm7. very iphone-like rom. built to have the best of iphone and android, with some added goodies. i persoanlly don't like it, but many swear by it. sorta a you like it or you don't thing. 4g doesn't work.
deck's: another cm7 based rom. basically slimmed down cm7. idk why you'd need to slim something already half the size of sense down further, but some people claim unreal battery life. 4g and hdmi also work cuz it's based on cm7
savagedzen rom: NOT built from cm7 (yes, this is a bragging right), very stock gingerbread, with lots of kernel tweaks. not based on cm7, yet 4g and hdmi work.
salvagemod: even more stock gingerbread. 4g works. not hdmi.
ports: the name explains it all. 4g doens't work for these, except the rare exceptions. virus is the one who's ripping out port after port after port recently.
a sense hd port: mik and myn both have one of these. froyo with sense 2.1. no 4g.
virus gingersense: sense 2.1, gingerbread. no 4g, but the rest is working.
virus kingdom port: based on an unreleased, unrevealed device called the htc kingdom. 4G WORKS. still in deep beta. sense 3.0, and gingerbread. sense 3.0 is pretty crazy.
so yeah. i personally use cm7 with tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and a modnation theme (whichever we r testing). try as many as u like. if you like it, make a backup.

I remember that post.
And yes, I support CM7 + Tiamat Kenel. Game WINNER.

Best rom in your opinion?

So after surfing the roms for 2 days to see which one suits me better
I came across the rom mexxdroid preghostchilli which is pretty cool its fast has a cool theme and some nice animations it also has this bootanimation thats awesome and it has sound
So i decided to keep it as my default rom until a new version comes out or the honeycomb port. Ecomes stable and fast
Know its your turn to share your thought on which rom you think is the best!

Can people pleeeeaaaaseeee stop making these threads??
You will find someone with each ROM that's happy with it. Everyone has a different feel for what works for them. You don't want to use the ROM that they like, you should use the ROM that you like.
This thread has been created dozens of times with a myriad of answers already.

The above poster is absolutely correct. Each user will have individual tastes and desires out of a rom. I suppose all of this delves back into the ultimate issue of overall user experience. Perhaps why the CM line is so successful is that they unify that experience across a multitude of devices and generally make sure things work.

I'm very happy with Virtuous Sense v2.0.0

leedroid or miui bulletproof

Best one I've had so far pyromod. Super fast and my battery does last longer than 24 hours now with pershoot's kernel. Does have some issues with installing apps from the sdcard.

I agree with the above quote however to answer your question. The answer is bulletproof miui. Backup your existing rom and use rom manager to download and install.

In my opinion, PyroMod. A2EXT runs smooth on my phone.

Image in the post above is awesome.
Calling one ROM "better" than another is an insult to the devs that work hard to give us these ROMs. Each ROM has its own merits. A better thing to ask would be "What is your favorite ROM?". Even so, there are many threads on this topic.

THANK YOU.
I always thought the Mexdroid/PyroMod p*ssing contest was extremely immature. I like the eye candy behind Mexdroid, but PyroMod has the speed.

I happen to like Virtuous G-Lite the best because it has the best battery life and it is definitely the lightest and fastest-performing ROM that I've tried. That being said it doesn't have a lot of the addition "features" and styles of other more custom ROMs but through the use of GO Launcher and just replacing a lot of the stock Android apps with others it is pretty much infinitely customizable. For instance, pretty much the only stock android app I still use is the phone dialer. I've replaced the messaging app, gallery, camera, launcher, and even browser (XScope is pretty awesome btw, thanks Amazon App of the Day).
That's just my two cents but it really is a personal preference.

The lastest Virtuous Unity beta. Seriously, the next stable version will be amazing...
Sense 3.0 run so smooth on this rom!

Which ROM do you prefer for your G2?

I'm not asking for the best ROM and why. I'm just asking what do you guys prefer and why?!? I'm getting my roommates G2 flash-ready and then we have to make a decision and he really has no idea and I haven't owned an HTC before so I wouldn't know where to begin.
Just list your preferred ROM, why and maybe some cool features you like about it.

CyanogenMod is my pick. It takes Android as Google meant it to be, and adds all sorts of functionality. Look here for a very incomplete list of extra goodies. It's a "function over form" kind of ROM.
This is all done by a team of tens of people around the world on a daily basis for years. It's really hard to find that kind of support, dedication, and reliability from any other ROM. Not to mention, the user base is HUGE so you can find support really easily if you're having any technical problems.

I'm very grateful for the CyanogenMod Nightlies. I have played with a few others, but keep coming back.
Why? For starters, check out their web page http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ it shows what you are in for. Vanilla Android. The best part for your room mate to know, is that they don't have to stick with it if they are unhappy. The G2 is very easy to wipe and flash. Use a backup file like MyBackup or Titanium. Then flash back and forth till you find what you prefer.
But I always go back to CM!

MIUI.
I've tried all the ports out there for at least a week each.
I started off with CM7, as my favorite, but I've begun to like MIUI more because of it's "out of the box" completeness. There's tons of usability customisations I used to implement on the CM7 rom, but I have to do very little on MIUI to get my phone to the same level of productivity as CM7 does. SO yeah, I'm on MIUI now. ^_^

I guess I am the rogue here, don't like CyanogenMod ROM's or any CM7 based variant - they're fast, but they always seem buggy to me - I like either G-lite or G-Slim, these are very stock gingerbread, with mild or no overclocking, and mind-blowing battery life and most of all NO ISSUES - no GPS not working, no wifi calling or tethering issues, no force closes all the time, you get the picture.
but to each his own - wouldn't be a very interesting world if we all used the same ROM!

Same, I dont really like CM roms.
Virtuous roms are nice. G-lite or unity.

I use Virtouse Trentacinque at the moment. its only beta, but it's the best sense 3.5 rom out there.

I use InsertCoin Sense 2.1+3.0. I like Sense nad this rom has the best combination of using only the most interesting Sense 3.0 widgets with speed and low memory use of Sense 2.1.

miui are the best roms!
MIUI ftw!

[Bulletproof] MIUI for looks
CM7 for functionality

ive been using G2 Slim for a week now and its the best ROM ive used so far. its fast, clean and has the best battery life when paried with the new radio update from tmo.

There is a thread like this at least once a week.
As you can see, its a matter of personal taste, and those tastes vary quite a bit. Once the phone is rooted, it only takes about 5 minutes to flash a new ROM (after its downloaded). So your buddy should compare features listed for the ROMs, then just pick a few, and try them to see which he likes best. Do a backup with clockworkmod before flashing a custom ROM, just in case he wants to return to the stock ROM easily.

My thoughts exactly and g lite here too!

Like redpoint said, try it and see what you like. Me personally I've really started liking mexdroid, it's got the functionality of cm7 but is nicer to look at, flashier and pretty but still fast.

Glite battery life light use not bad, and fast and stable.

Tapatalk hosting sucks lol, it reads 10 1/2 hours exactly and I'm at 78 % battery life

I like CM7 and MIUI. CM7 because it's fast and full of features, and MIUI because it is extremely customizable.

Speed,animations, battery life, dev support,and ICS theme. Get the combo in my sig!
HTC Vision(G2), meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO ROM/ICS CM7 theme.

Bulletproof MIUI for now... probably unless Sense 3.5 ROMs get smooth and stable. CM7 on Vision is also great, but I've already got bored with it on ZTE Blade

[Q] Different of CMx, Sense, MIUI, ...

Hello everyone,
First I'm sorry if my thread make you angry. I installed many ROMs before include:
Ginger Bread (GB): HyperDroid, NexusHD2, TyphooN, Domiranx, NDT Ginger, myMIUI, PureCyanogenMod 7, ...
Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS): NexusHD2, AOKP, PARANOIDANDROID, MIUI ICS, EvoHD2, ...
Jelly Bean (JB): Unofficial CM10 HD2, PARANOID JELLYBEAN HD2, AOKP JELLYBEAN, ...
The position of ROMs in those lists is not sort by prefer.
But now I'm using GB because it's smooth, fast, stable, good responsible. This is my choice not recommend for yours.
I'm just end user not a developer so I can't realize what is the different of those ROMs except the battery life, GUI, some tweaks which I can see & feel. Sorry if I missed something. I don't mention the GB vs ICS vs JB because the different of them are clearly. I just don't know what is different of sense, MIUI & non-sense in GB, ICS & JB?
Can you explain the details?
IMO: the smooth of GB > ICS > JB. I think GB is best choice for my HD2 for daily use.
Many thanks for all developers making the HD2 is still the KING now & later. I greatly appreciate your kindness. :good:

Sense, MIUI and CM7/AOSP are all just different UIs but for the same OS. All are gingerbread.
Sense has a lot of eye candy but is (IMO) slower than the others.
MIUI has a really nice UI and is very smooth, but for me is a bit too iOS-esque. This can be changed with a custom launcher though.
CM7 is basically pure Android from Google (AOSP) but just enhanced and made faster and better by the cyanogenmod team.
Can I ask, why do you feel GB is faster than ICS? In what specific areas?

Thanks for your reply.
IMO only:
First I use all stock launcher, dialer, message, camera, ... almost apps launch faster. Scroll (left, right, up, down) is smoother.
Second I use other launchers (go launcher, launcher pro, ...), dialer (exdialer, go contacts, ...), messaging (go sms, handcent, pansi, ...) they are faster than in ICS. I installed all in both GB & ICS in same phone.
Third when I click home, back, menu, ... they are also faster respond than in ICS.
And GB has softkey in status bar. Not like ICS take a bit space in main screen. That make some apps not work properly. This is a function only not effect the speed or smooth.

you might change your mind about "speed" in ICS after trying the link below, there is NAND & SD version, give the SD-ROM version a try since it's much easier to do

I'll try NAND ROM because it'll faster than SD ROM.

Your right NAND is much faster, i'm now trying both & on SD it sometimes stutters but runs smooth on NAND
give us your thoughts

I thought that GB was alot faster than ICS too. But I use the nexusHD2 from v2.5 by tytung(ICS) and let me tell you that it is FASTER than gingerbread. Previously the gb roms were faster but not now.
My advice. Take time out and try as many ICS builds as possible. At least you'll find one that's fully compatible with your device. Try it and you won't regret shifting from GB to ICS

Cyanogenmod vs Modified Stock FW - which do you use?

Hey everyone,
I didn't want to be disrespectful and post in a developers thread specific to a custom firmware, nor CM, so I wanted to start this thread to get some input. There are a lot of great roms out, ARHD among others, which are modifications of the default stock Samsung firmware.
There is also the possibility to run the latest version of Android in stock AOSP by using Cyanogenmod 10.1.
Historically I have always used CM10.1 or AOKP on my devices as I switch frequently, and they have become the "brands" I know, and I like how it is not bloated. However, on buying my Note I thought it might be worth checking out stock based firmwares, especially for the IR blaster which doesn't work in CM10.1.
Has anyone here alternated between them? What made you switch to one or the other? I'm curious to get some input from others on why they made the decision they did specifically for this device.
Thanks!
EDIT: It seems most of the note features work fine in CM10.1 as well - are there any other things I am missing out on if I go CM10.1, other than the IR Blaster? I'm sure it is just a novelty that will get old quick, but still. Given I haven't used stock extensively I am not sure if I am missing out on anything else.

There are plenty of threads like this around.. I prefer stock because of the IR blast and mulit window feature.. also stock is louder with the noozxoide mod.. The reasons for CM10 is More customization, its faster than stock, Themes, and its 4.2...

Thanks - if you have links to the others I would like to give them a read, but I couldn't find any direct comparisons on XDA, especially for this tablet. The most I found was a "what firmware do you use" for the SGS2.

Im not about to look for them but here is 1...

Im not sure if cyanogenmod support the small apps ( dual or cascade ) . Im using custom stock fimware on my sgn10.1 such as Android Revolution HD, to fully use the advantage of multitasking.
But for my old handphone, I prefer cyanogenmod. You know why.

I would stick with stock. I think the cm team does agreat job but when it comes to my note 10.1 they lack ,there is something very buggy about them when it comes to 2d and 3d rendering this is the one thing I have noticed that are not based off stock roms. Things like sketch book video playback and gaming seem to fluctuate in fps but try it out and see for your self, other then that cm is a great

Stock ROM (CMC5), only rooted, not even DeOdexed (I'd rather have speed vs. themeing).

same, rooted stock for me. CM10 is nice, but the lack of multi window is the killer for me. For me, modified roms dont have anything special to make me want to switch to them.

This is what makes the Note 10.1 so special... Even the ICS rom it came with out of the box was close to what I wanted and needed. People only started complaining when others were getting JB and they weren't.
Add root access Samsung and it would be (almost) perfect - there's always something you want or need that won't be in the stock rom.
So saying, I'm still gonna play around with custom roms too... Never being satisfied and chasing perfection is part of being human, that's why XDA was created....

Stock is the best... !

With cm10.1 my benchmark is 4700 ish, with stock rom I run about 6200 I think thats is proof enough witch is better not to mention the whole multi Window that I find I use a lot on my tablet unlike my phone the tablet has enough screen space to appreciate it.

I am now running X-Note Zero Edition from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236328
I am quite pleased with it once I ran the compatibility pack and battery mod (%). It runs quite well and I have no complaints, other than a rather bulky notification pull-up bar. Performance is pretty good. As another poster indicated, though, there is a slight delay when switching between apps using the pop-up menu. Battery life seems a bit better after a few days usage too.

I own many different tabblets, on this one its perfect out of the box, no wifi, no sod, no market or any other weird problems. when you do get one that runs fine then your battery drains fast. Always a trade off, so I go with stock and no root. Seems root is causing problems and now no root and no problems.

Rooting any device won't ever cause any problems that aren't user error.

I used CM on all of my other devices but have had no reason to use it on the Note 10.1. I just rooted the stock ROM and have not really missed CM much on the Note.

well, i'd rather use the stock rom than the CM, i have tried the CM10.1 but you know, the Multi Windows and hand writing and the IR blaster had been missed, so, after all, i have to go back to stock rom, ít' simply, a bit slower but, well, it come with full features
