So i was thinking of changin my rom to Cm7 just for android 2.3, is it laggy? dose it drain the battery more ?? Advice please
Im using CM7 and im loving it my battery seems to be better with cm7 running and its not laggy. However i did mess with the cpu settings and my battery died proper quick but now ive restored its all good again. Try it out and see if you like it
IMHO CM7 provides loads of additional features to the Buzz handset. O.k, as a custom rom it has bugs here and there but that's par for the course and most major ones get sorted. CM7 is the way forward ... there are new roms challenging the top spot but aren't quite there yet. You can always backup current rom and restore it if you don't get on with CM7 so no harm in trying it!

As said above, I would say to give it a try. Take a Nandroid backup beforehand, and, if CM7 doesn't suit you, you can always get back to your backed up Stock ROM.
Its definitely worth switching though. I am extremely pleased with it.
Only bad thing about CM7 is the font size. It is extremely small that it looks pixelated and takes out the wow out of the UI.
HTC sense looks best IMO, only reason I root is to get app2SD. Thats it.
I always use stock ROMs. Sorting out the bugs itself is a big time eater. I hate it.
Wtf is wrong with the font size on CM7? It's the same for me and was the same on stock/wildpuzzle... and bugs? pfft lol, that's why you stick with the stable release.
Anyway it's your choice, if you're happy with sense/stock, stick with stock or wildpuzzle or the DK sense rom, if you don't like it and wanna try something new and has heaps of themes, get CM7.
Besides, Font Size can be increased as per your will in CM7.
stay with the stock rom, is better, CM7 allways have a lot of bugs

Most of the designs on CM7 are made for high resolution phones, Wildfire having a lower resolution doesn't look great. Post screen shots of your app-drawer, desktop so on.

Bugs are not enough reason to ditch an OS ?. One bug scares people away. Just one bug.
I am not a developer, just an average user. If you can't satisfy me, then you won't sell anything big. Unfortunately, its so.
I don't get orgasm about any new version of anything. I want things that work seamlessly. Changing versions without solving bugs won't help.

This was true, not any longer, after nhnt11 made the required changes to make CM7 look like it is supposed to on LDPI Devices.
Anyway, its unfortunate that CM didn't suit you, but that is exactly why I think all posts in this thread ask the OP to try out CM, No ROM is perfect, everyone knows this, but, a particular bug for someone may be no big deal to another person. It's all about preference. As for me, even I am an average user, not a dev, and, yes, I am not saying CM is bug free, but, for me, they are no deal breakers.
Who said anything about changing versions? I just said stick to the stable releases, not change whenever a new nightly is released, and if you want the bugs to be resolved, post it to the issue tracker, or tell the devs about the bugs and don't whine about it.
It will get fixed eventually, all you have to do is wait.

I spend money/time on something not to wait(spend more time) but to use it. You still don't seem to be able to understand the viewpoint of someone else. And haven't posted any screenshots. What else would be a way to compare ?
Stable release ?. The number of stable releases devs make kinda doesn't go with "stable" actually. There hasn't been a developer version of ROM without bugs.
I go for perfection, bugs just puts me off.
A guy asked which he should use Stock or CM7. And we gave our views from experience with both. As 3xeno said, its all about preferences.
Even this stock ROM has bugs, but chances are big that you will find some more on CM7, altough I've never worked on it. But the nice thing about it that on CM bugs will be fixed eventualy, whilest on stock ROM you're left alone with it..
Perhaps a first step is to go away from sense. I liked sense, but installed Homelauncher pro just to try, and I have found out that I liked it even more than sense. I am now in the stage where I gradualy change all the stock things on my ROM (for so far it is possible). So I know now that I ceryainly will change my ROM once I can.
So you really have to try: you don't realize what can get better unless you have seen other options. And if you are hesitating because of the 'big' step of changinf ROM, perhaps try to change some typic stock things. You will see for yourself if you want to go and see more of what other ROMs have to offer you.
Or that is at least my oppinion: as stated, I've always worked and am still working on the stock ROM.

I was just wondering about the poor development for our device, I would be glade about developing but I only know the basics, looling other forums the have pretty lots of kernels and roms and ports from many xperias, we only have Z2 port :/
Okay my primary wondering is about this: It's suposed we have the same processor as the Moto x, except for the contextual LPCs, the same GPU, even the same resolution, an It's better-optimized than our SPlendid phone, and even better! It has KitKat, so why don't developers at least try to port a rom from it? We don't even lose anything, but we could win lots of things, what do you think devs? Do not blame me with: You're stupid, maybe I am but maybe not!
I will continue investigating, btw thnks if you took your time for reading this crazy Idea

hey.. i formerly was Xperia ZR user.. i switch to XSP bcos of development of XSP its really good.. if this phone u call poor development u should see ZR.. much more worse!! Xperia SP n Moto X was build on the same chip.. but Moto X is actually minor upgrade version of XSP processor.. its not the same.. and again.. motoX actually a basic phone.. much like cyanogen.. plus GEL and active display.. if u prefer that than flash 4.4.2 carbon ROM it has everything what motoX offer n many more~~ for me Cyanogen 10.2 is enough~~
Allright allright bad idea I tought Moto X had less bugs and yes you're right at least we have little active development, not like One X ough, at least we have many masters like DooMLorD and many as him ^^ Glad about it thanks for reading maybe I should delete this post xD
Hey guys, my name is Bigbabyjesus and I'm a flashaholic.
I have a SGH-I337M. I'm dual booting, running the latest unified Dirty Unicorns as my primary daily and flying through everything else I'm my secondary slot. I liked Echo, Omega and a few other Touchwiz ROMs; not a huge fan of MiUI; I also tried a few oddball ROMs that were pretty buggy.
I guess I'm just wondering if anybody knows of something cool or significantly different from AOSP or Touchwiz.
Is there a corner of the internet where I could find a S4 version of Ubuntu? Are there other Linux distros I could install? Is there a booting port of L? Or a highly secure version of android like PrivatOS?
Come on junkies, share your stash.
I have this same driving need to flash something new every month or so, but I keep coming back to Danvdh's GE rom. I know that's not really the reply you were looking for, but it's relevant nonetheless. I've never run a rom as stable as this or with better battery life.
I'd love to try Ubuntu touch, but I haven't really seen anything that would be remotely passable as a DD. If you find a decent build, please let me know.
I was very interested in Ubuntu as well but development has been abandoned as far as I can find. I have seen guys running Kali and a few other desktop distros but that's obviously not going to be practical for a phone. I am pretty sure I have even seen an s4 running Windows 98 which would be kind of cool to figure out but the only reason that would be useful would be to play full throttle.
The awesomeness of the play still amazes me. It's still alive and being developed for I really really hope we can get controls and everything working! That would be beyond mazing.

yes that would be amazing.. if only the devs would let us discuss it.. cuz as per a dev.. who closed my thread.. he thinks "discussion on unfinished work is not necessary" lol .. so yeah
also you cant discuss about any Devs work too in the forums.. not even discuss wow. XDA Rocks

I wish we had at least CM11 with full controls support. As 5.x isn't so amazing as some people think and 6.x may not work so good on our device (however it should), maybe better to try make something from 11?
anyone wants to test AOSP 6.0 or cm13 for Xperia Play.. let me know.. I need help in flashing it through ABD sideload. or if comeone can try on their own.

Heh maybe CM13 on xplay will work perfectly xD
I using legacyxperia nightly roms and CM11 have blackscreen sometimes (restart is needed) and camera is still not working.
CM 12.1 is near perfect, but apps are little slow. And Please don't make same mistake as legacyxperia. They moved "calling" application on SD. I have class 10 SD and when someone is calling, i hear ringtone but i need wait few secs for app to load... it rly sucks ;P

what rom is that? cause i tried aosp and cm12 and the gamepad wasn't working, not usable in game at least...and the overall rom speed wasn't that great, not daily usable at least for me, i've been using jb and now on ics and if the rom gets to that speed i'll definetly change..but for now i'm staying on ics for good gaiming and daily use, and i'll gladly get to lollipop, even if there aren't great changes, not any new features i can't live without...
Inaroom use cm 12.1 from LegacyXperia project.
I used gamepad in apps like emulators And if i remember good there was problem with circle. If you pressed circle for example in emulator, it reacts like back button. But it was fixable by some file editing.
And cm10 is near good, but i miss camera... And after installing some apps, it's slow.

For me ICS is also the best choice for Xperia Play, it offers the best overall performance.
From CM10 and higher probably touchpads will never properly work on the Xperia play, the only way they would work is if Sony realized the official drivers which will never happen.
D-pads are fixable but the development of CM for 2011 devices is so slow that it will become useless as the Xperia Play is becoming more and more obsolete.
sorry for offtopic but david7380 what rom do you use ?
Im using ICS NexPlay but after installing few apps it's slow as hell...

I use Neo2Play V2.7 and DoomKernel extracted from markphyton Xperia Play Z Rom.
Here is the link to Neo2Play Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283653
Here is the link to markphyton`s rom, you have to extract the kernel from inside the Zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402227
That is the best overall performance I have found for the XPlay, although as I have mentioned before there are some apps that just make the Xperia play unusable, for example the Facebook App.
I have a developer [MENTION=376022]Mandy $ingh who is willing to make cm 13 based rom for the samsung j7 (SM-J700T1) MODEL.
I'm asking for donations for Mandy $ingh for his hard work. please and thank you
1. me = $20 with Paypal
2. Nillerz = $15 with Bitcoins
TOTAL SO FAR
$35
Is this just where we pledge? I'll pledge 15 dollars for Cyanogenmod if it's ever made, I can pay in Bitcoins.

i have a J700T. how hard is it to learn how to port and develop cm.
The main issues that we'll have will most likely be camera and Bluetooth. The exynos processor doesn't seem to jive well with CM.
Believe me, I would like CM as well but unfortunately it will be somewhat buggy and this particular device isn't "bringing tha boys to the yard" as far as development goes. Don't get me wrong, I think this device is pretty awesome and had some high hopes for development but alas, we are stuck with tweaked touchwhiz roms. Cm 14 was even ported but lots of bugs like bluetooth, display, audio, etc.
Not trying to crush any dreams here, just being realistic.
However, once a Nougat touchwhiz rom leaks (should be in a few weeks) a port is possible. A good note 7 port (no bugs) would be awesome.

The Bluetooth is a problem to me I rarely use it. And the camera cant we just find a camera app from the play store that will be capable with the cm based Rom. But I'm not complaining at all I'm just putting my w sense in.
for some, no bluetooth is a big issue. the camera issue is (maybe) easy to workaround because of other camera apps, unless it's the system (not the camera app) that's causing the camera not to work.
