Poll - how reliable compared to XDA - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

So, compared to the XDA Exec which was buggy as hell, how well built and reliable is this?
For those that haven't had an XDA, how well built and reliable in general?

O.K very funny...very...
On this kind of questions, google search engine is working.
If there is nothing or a lot of people on google are searching for this kind of information, and if you give in this forum some useful informations, than owners of xdadevelopers and we all, have something...
Do, JJEgan and jetpackjeff think the same?
I suggest that everybody give something positive...
I'm a little stupid, but i worked for years on unix os and my first pda was i-mate...that was a lot of years ago.. ouuu I'm so old....
I read everything and just want to have a discuss,
is really so good ?
Is there any comparison what can be better or more fast etc...??
Btw; I'm still laughing, and sorry both

Do you have seen something in live?
On the webpage in forum i found a link where i found maximum information regards my question...
CyanogenMod is a custom ROM that is available for a number of Android devices. It's goal is to bring the vanilla Google experience to these devices, but it also brings it's own tweaks that better the experience.
The current build is running Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Build GRI40),

Is this question rhetorical or are you asking a real question and expect a real answer?
Some of get confused with all the numpties on here asking questions where they refuse to search read the faqs etc .
I inadvertently put the OP in that category due to the topic .

Can't really mention about it yet because ours(2.3.3 it is) is still a beta version, well same goes to the other too....well, it's definitely faster because Gingerbread use ext4 file, unlike RFS file like our SGS...and also some other things....oh yea, the camera supposed to have more features like brightness control, etc...the tv-like shut down feature when you relock your SGS....performance, currently, due to some bugs, it's kind of sluggish...as it is a ROM, you can customize more things than the official version, thus, it benefits the devs to tweak it some more...as you can see also, CM gives the old Android Phone the newest version of Android feel, so they won't feel being abandoned....
I don't really have much to add but due to forum posting rules I can't post on the Dev thread until I have clocked ten posts although it would seem you are able to post threads I'm other forums that are unbelievably pointless... currently running today's experimental build of cm7, seems good so far, SD mounted, camera seems less glitchy, all the radios working. Haven't tested GPS yet...

[Q] CM7 vs Samsung ROMs practical-wise

Besides personal preference, general file systems, what are the benefits of one over the other?
I already know that CM7 is different from all other (gingerbread) ROMs since it isn't based on Samsung's ROM, but since the captivate is a Samsung phone, would that mean ROMs based on Samsung's original ROM (so pretty much all ROMs besides CM7) would be more optimal in terms of use?
Sent from my SGH-I896 using XDA App
that is probably an accurate statement, does not mean cm7 and miui are not awesome
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
i had been on cm7 for 2 months or so and flashed continuum5 yesterday. so far i'm liking the samsung-based gingerbread better, but mainly for reasons like battery-life when using wifi. cm7 has tons of tweaks through their customized settings. i'm sure that cm7 will be back on my phone as soon as they incorporate some of the "fixes" that are in the gingerbread code that was released last week by samsung.
Cyanogen mod is based off of the nexus s 2.3.3 and the nexus s is extremely similar to the captivate in terms of hardware so it is quite optimized without any modification at all.

this statement really needs to stop being spread around. CM7 is not based on Nexus S, it is based on AOSP/CM code. it just so happens that the Nexus S is as well. it's as valid to say it's based on Nexus S as it would be to say it's based on Nexus One or G1 code (i.e. not valid). The AOSP code leaves a lot stuff out for our phones, such as GPIO's and several drivers, so we're using samsung's drop to try and organize and improve all of it.
OP, difference between CM7 an Samsung ROM == do you want the ability to configure and easily theme for your phone (without reflashing just for a theme) or do you want to not worry about battery life? that's basically what it comes down to.
So which has the better battery life?

With Samsung sources out, will that allow CM7's development of battery life to be as close as the amount a Samsung ROM can offer?

it's already been improved. quite frankly, just TRY the ROM's and see which you like better. this whole "will-I-or-won't-I try flashing something" is kind of pointless. no one can tell you what will work best for you or which you will like more except you. with every ROM, every modem, every kernel your mileage may vary, so instead of asking which is "better" (which is so amazingly subjective), just try the ones you're curious about.

Gingerbread Roms vs. Froyo Roms

Haven't noticed any cons unless you consider amazing battery life one. Also the performance on my phone has never been better no lag anywhere.
Try it you wont regret.
Here is a link that explains some improvements with GB...

Samsung added some new improvements to touchwiz I believe as well as some other tweaks.

Thanks for the responses so far. And hopefully more will come, specifically from those who are running a new gingerbread rom, as I have yet to jump onto the ginger-train...but I'm sure I will soon.
You know how people will have what they think is a crappy old computer, but then a good tech guy gets rid of all of the viruses and updates the software and it runs so much better and they'll exclaim, "It's just like a new computer!"
Well, that's what Gingerbread feels like. The smoothness and the battery life make me feel like I have a dual core processor in there!
ginger bread pros:
optimisations that vastly improve the performance of the hummingbird
brighter screen
better color balance
no lag
better battery life stock vs stock
better browser
better market
better video player
new, shiny, better,
cons:
problem with proximity sensor on samsung release
framework doesnt allow the haptic feedback to work on captivate home button yet
some kernel mods havent been ported yet
2.2 pros:
lots of roms
lots of development
lots of kernels
roms available with amazing battery life do to mods
cons:
slower
laggier

I have been running the GR11 gingerbread rom,and it early but everything works for me..But if your happy with 2.2 right now .Wait till the ginger bread Roms have more development time/or you will be updating almost every day..This is my opinion....

Fast and Very Light ROM

Hi,
I'm looking for a fast and light ROM. I have a Nexus 4 now so my tablet is pretty much just used for taking notes at University and watching the occasional YouTube video.
I looked and managed to find AOKP M6 Slim, however this seems to be discontinued and as a result, outdated.
If installing a more feature-heavy ROM and removing features is viable, could someone point me in the right direction to do that?
Thanks in advance.
codefireX.
Best ROM available, performance wise.
Still very rich in features and customization. Includes option to turn off nearly all aftermarket customizations and features, besides performance ones.
I highly suggest pairing with motley kernel.

Super close to stock. They're really up on responsible coding. Nothing that goes against AOSP. All about just working.
I usually go in through titanium backup and remove programs I don't need
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I like Paranoid Android but you are going to get a different response from everyone. PA runs really smooth for me. It is not as feature filled as a lot of the other roms but gives some nice customization options. PIE control is also really nice as it allows you to take advantage of the entire screen.
The bottom line is that the only way to find the best ROM for you is to do some research and flash a few different ones. Try them for a few days and then switch if you are not pleased/get bored.

Rasbean. But that's the benefit of owning a nexus, you have so many options.
But I'm pretty positive once you flash rasbean, you won't flash anything else. I would advise flashing other roms first and then go to rasbean. You'll notice the difference.

I love that everyone posted a different ROM.
I fell in love with Xylon, it has A TON of features and customizations. I think it borrows (kang) popular features from a lot of ROMs and all the features are optional. Not to mention the ROM is super fast and smooth which I wouldn't expect from A ROM with so many features.
I personally use the custom faux kernel with it, makes the ROM that much slicker, and my battery lasts for an entire day.

The bugs on the Samsung are due to the difficulty obtaining sources from Samsung. No such problem on the Nexus, and CyanogenMod is as stable as stock and you get the extra features to boot.
ALL of the roms for the Nexus 4 are fast because the phone is fast. I doubt anyone could tell the difference without running benchmarks so you should really just try a few and make a choice based on which feature set you like.

You sir are correct. CM10 on Nexus 4 is the best combination of lightweight and customisable so far that I've seen.
This is borderline a "which is the best ROM" thread and we all know how those turn out. Every ROM I've ever seen claims to be "light and fast" either directly or indirectly..
To the OP.. There are piles and piles of people making ROMs and kernels for this phone. It's one of the most active development communites I've seen in ages. Take advantage of it! No one can pick one for you.. Drop by the development forums, read, read, then read some more.. Pick 5 ROMs that sound up your alley and give them a try.. I'd suggest a ROM a week until you find one you are satisfied with.
Goodluck and enjoy your Nexus!
Best part about coming to a Nexus forum is being confused about what ROM to flash. Always so many great ones to choose from. lol. :laugh:
So damn true, there are so many ROM's from so many great developers you do really get lost even when going through all of the topics.
So the best bet would be to try it for yourself and flash a few ROM's until you find the one you like.
P.S - this phone is so quick so i doubt really anyone can find a difference in performance between Rom's.
Have fun
^ there is a difference but I feel it lies within the individual kernels. I've been testing kernels for about two weeks and find myself always coming back to trinity 97, even with 4.2.2 its smooth and battery life is insane. I've bounced from ROM to ROM and find xylon the smoothest. Once rasbean goes 4.2.2 I'll give it a shot. There are so many Roms and they are all *good. *everyone has their opinions and all the devs here put a lot of work and time in and all deserve the respect they get. As far as a “light" ROM goes slim bean would be the lightest coming in at under 110mb zip file, then you'll need gapps and they have minimal gapps available at around 25mb.

What is the best kernel for battery life?

There are currently 3 kernels available, IronKernel, Notorious and Xceed. All 3 claim improved battery life, but which one is the best?
What I need is as good battery life as possible, but I do not want to gimp my phones performance (too much).
I think that I would get a more accurate reply here than asking in their own threads.
There is no such thing as best kernel. Try them and decide what suits you best.

Of course there are worse and better kernels. They are not all created equally by the same developer only for different purposes.
Petty sure I was specific what I'm looking for.
So the question remains.

It's an old XDA standard... no kernel or rom is ever "best" . They are only best for your specific purposes and likes, and depending on how you configure them of course. This is especially true of custom kernels in particular, since any decent one will allow you to tweak to your hearts content. It's very much subjective.
