Hey all,
I was wondering which chrome build runs the best on our beloved nexus 6p's: stable or beta? Which one gives you the best performance and uses the least battery juice?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
I use chrome canary. It really is hard to tell a difference between all the chrome versions. If tuga browser would work consistently on more roms id use it. It was really fast.

I use beta. It seemed to use less battery when I installed it but that was a while ago.
I freeze Chrome and use Dolphin! Problem solved
I used to use Dolphin but after a while I just found too many problems. It didn't render some web pages correctly. It wouldn't open some websites at all even though they worked on another browser. It also had a tendency to freeze and crash.
Yeah I've used others, but after a while I kept going back to chrome..
Thanks for your experiences!

Almost all non GB-Sense ROMs are 100% functional and good for daily use. GB Sense ROMs are also supposedly good for daily use but I personally find them quite glitchy and slow (try them anyway, you may be able to tolerate this). I use Typhoon CM7 as it's fast, efficient, and regularly updated with the latest features.
TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.7.3[2.3.7][A2SD][tytung r12.4v3]
I have been using these for my daily since around 2.4.something and love it, quick updates, fast as anything performance with pretty decent battery. I have everything turned on and am on one WiFi connection or another pretty much all day. Use it moderately for browsing, texting, phone, and gps and it lasts pretty much all day for me. Give it a shot, I bet you will be happy.
Oh yeah, I am sure you would be able to tell from the thread but there is no Sense or anything, pretty standard CM7 interface with ADWLauncher
I've tried many different ROMs over the last few weeks and finally arrived with TyphooN as well.
What I found more important is that from my experience, tytung's 12.3 (and newer) kernels are the only ones that have no or close to no audio quality issues, so I'd definitely opt for a ROM with tytung's kernel.
Check my signature. Has everything you asked for on this thread
I´m also on TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 for a long time now.
Very stable and fast, good battery live time
I am using Hd2 Ndt ginger ginger rom , its very fast and stable with go launcher

Hard not to see your signature. It's a full-screen advertisement.
Hyperdroid is tha bomb.
Thanks for answers
Will see what i land on finally.. I can see i have a few more to test =))
I have used TyphooN_CM7 and Desire HD Ace, these two roms on my hd2.
one is original android and one is with sense...
I think you can try these two roms,
Any flavor of Hyperdroid is tight. My best recommendation is try a few different roms out and seeing if you like one. If using it intensively is a big issue for you I would suggest that you don't install system heavy apps, i.e. Live wallpapers, crazy widgets that use system resources like weather or GPS. Keeping GPS and WIFI off until you need to access those services and changing the display brightness down a tad. There are plenty of threads on these issues and keep in mind that Android itself is a huge battery abuser, but it's so worth it. I use the above mentioned apps and still get a full day out of my phone as long as I don't spend hours at a time accessing them. Keeping a charger on hand at work also helps as well.
I´m using AmericanAndroid nand since first release and it´s very fast, good battery life 2mA in standby.
Hi all and a happy new year,
i use Dolphin and the stock browser.
Often, the two browsers close themselves, mainly while scrolling.
Does someone have similar problems?
Solutions?

I had exactly the same problem. Turned out CPU could not handle 1.7 GHz and caused problems . Try setting max frequency to 1400.

are you using kl7?
i had the same problem with other problems after update to kl7
so i flashed back to kk9 for me it was more stable
I am on stock, Dolphin browser crushes from time to time here as well, I think it doesn't manage the ram very well, so I'm using the Opera which I like it better despite the fact that scrolling is jerky.
As said in my other thread, we shall do the discussion of this ROM here so we don't bother the devs anymore!
What do you think of this ROM? I think it's really awesome.
It runs well for my purposes, though it's guaranteed to reboot on my phone when using Navigation which is unfortunate.
Great rom, good for daily usage. Even the Illico mobile app is working flawless for Canadian Videotron carrier.

Samauz states this ROM as alpha, but it feels more than that because of its incredible stability and of course usability
I moved to this one after trying out the Evervolv one since that one kept SoD'ing.
So far it's running really great.
I have used Samuaz's CM9 build for a long time now and I haven't ever experienced the screen of death bug. Not once.
mad props
Been using this Rom for a while now and I really have to admit that it does not feel like an alpha at all. But it's far away from being a final or RC.
But nonetheless it's good enough to work as a daily driver. Almost everything is working fine and it's quite smooth. Especially the new ia2sd is awesome.
But it has its downsides. I have a lot of random fc's and apps behaving strange. It may not be a Samuaz specific problem but an ICS problem. But it starts bugging me as hell.
And some features I really like at CM7 are not implemented or fully working yet. Most of them are really small things like no battery percentage in the notification bar (Battery Widget works as a workaround). But they add up.
Once I overcame the "wow-ics-on-n1-smooth-and-awesome"-feeling I started thinking about switching back to CM7. I just miss the stability of CM7 and the incredible smoothness. Don't get me wrong. This Rom is neither unstable nor stuttering (I actually get my highest quadrant scores so far with Medroid CM9) it just didn't reach the level of CM7 yet.
But I'm sure it will. A new kernel which makes full HWA possible seems to be on its way and with every version the rom is getting better.

Let's say we get full hwa tomorrow or sometime near tomorrow, I still feel it will take a long time to really optimize it for every aspect of our N1's. I mean, in ICS now, we need to prioritize making things works before optimizing them. Know what I'm saying?
I switched back to CM7 today for a brief moment but I quickly got bored of it. Will try later today though. It feels great not having to switch hboot as CM7 (at least Samuaz's build) plays nicely with it
I'm not concerned about the extra system space or so because with the 1gb ext4 partition, there's nothing to complain about ^^
Awesome rom... fast and stable... trebuchet launcher bis easy but apex launcher is better band faster... try TO install on System/appari tor better experience

SIP and T-Mobile Web2Go issues
I have had just a couple of issues.
One is that when I upgraded from CM7, I guess something flagged in my T-Mobile account. I have the $10/month data plan ("Phone First Web" aka Web2Go). While everything was peachy before I upgraded, now I can not get the data connection to work. Set up the same settings APN-wise as in CM7 and it just tells me the plan doesn't work with my phone
I tried flashing back to CM7 to no avail. So it must be a flag in my account or something.
The other problem that I had is that my SIP setup doesn't work anymore. I don't know if this is a problem with ICS, the ROM, or something in my SIP setup (pbxes.org/IPKALL/GVoice). I do know, that before upgrading to this ROM, it all worked fine. Again, I tried flashing back to CM7 and it didn't fix it. So I don't know if it is something about upgrading to ICS or what...
Update:
My SIP stuff started working again. So, I guess it was an issue with my setup.
I was also doing some reading and saw that apparently a lot of people are having the Web2Go thing crap out with their Nexus One. It seems that T-Mo finally caught on and is actively preventing N1s from using the Web2Go plan. Good news is that there is another $10/month plan available. Bad news is that it is only 200MB/month. For me, that's fine, since I use WiFi most of the time anyway. The unlimited option is $25/month (still cheaper than the Android plan, I believe).
As far as the ROM goes in general, I love the look and feel. The new recent applications is great as is the new browser interface.

I think Nova Launcher is the best ICS launcher

Been trying this room since a long time ago. Awesome, except some random reboots and fcs. Switched to MeDroid cm7 when I wanted to stabil and smooth rom, and got my best quadrant there: above 2400. Switched back to this room when I wanted to feel new features of ICS. Overall, quite happy with this rom.

Awesome rom, I use it since at least a month and it's great.
I just have an issue in these days about the new Cyanogen Music app, it drains my battery a lot.
Anyone know a tip to replace it with the original one? I tried to remove it with Titanium backup and install an apk of the original Music that I found on web but it FC.
I can't report the drain/ask in the developer too cause of my low post-counter.

The original music app in 4.0 is available in the market as "Google Music."
I've had my TF300T for a year now.
I never updated the firmware (still stock 4.1), but it is rooted.
It still does everything I want it to do: Play games, watch videos through Plex, Youtube, and mostly just browse the internet.
My only problem with it is that it could be less "sluggish" when browsing on Chrome, though mobile formatted webpages are fine.
It isn't sluggish enough for me to need to go looking for ways to improve it, however, since my current firmware is ancient, I guess it is time for me to look into my options and see if it is worth my time.
Is there any performance improvement to be gained by updating to the latest stock firmware?
Is there a very stable, well established, modded firmware that makes it run smoother?

Android 4.4 running with ART and Overclock Kernal is so smoooooth with web browsing and games. Personally, I use CM11, but there are a few others too in the dev section.

A custom ROM -without ART or overclock-... is that good enough for what the OP wants?
without ART: because it's still experimental by Google and it might cause issues
without overclocking: because it will reduce the battery life of the tablet (and might cause issues)

haha, two completely opposite suggestions.
I don't mind losing battery life to overclocking. The tablet stays home almost all the time and we rarely ever get to 50% battery before we are done with the tablet and can leave it to charge again.
Stability isn't mission critical but it sure would suck to have to reboot more than once every couple of days due to a crash.
Now after having read about ART, and overclocking... damn, maybe I want to get into tweaking that mofo and make it nice again.
First, I need to dismantle it to re-align the screen. The damn thing was mis-aligned from the day I had to replace the digitizer

If you want an Stock experience you could try CROMi-X will give you the improvements you are looking and a stock look
i agree cromi is the best rm by far for me and the dev is a legend
I don't know if it's just me but I get micro stutters while scrolling no matter what kernel I use. Is this normal?
Must be just you. Rom feels fast to me. I have McLaren but I doubt there is any real world differences
Im rooted but using stock kernel and rom and this is the fasted and smoothest android device I ever had. Mine has zero lag. Compared it with an iPhone earlier and scrolling was the same. I have the 6T 8gb version.
Must be my phone. I have the 8gb ram version and no matter what I get micro stutters once in a while.
Stutters in the overall system or just the browser? For me it's only when I use Chrome (but that's on almost every device I use). I've switched to using Samsung Browser Beta on every Android device because it's so much smoother and you can download ad blockers that works so damn well.

I use the Samsung browser not beta. Is the beta that much better?
Honestly I haven't tried the regular. Accidentally downloaded the beta first and had zero issues with it so I've just stuck with it for my last 4 or 5 devices.
No stutters on mine, that I have noticed yet at least. I am stock/unrooted, but in Dev settings I did speed up the animations (I do this on all phones, personal preference).
