I was curious to know what people's thoughts were on modding the build.prop to get 17+ mflops? Pros and cons.

has anyone used this. im trying it right now and seems to be working just as good as the beta atk. what do you guys think about it pros cons?
Now that Cognition is up to 2.3 (Gingerbread), I was wondering what some thought about the pros and cons between it and Serendipity7. I'm presently on CM7, but like the idea of using stock gingerbread bootloaders and some of the Samsung apps (not so much any of the AT&T apps). But insights into ease of flashing, using CWM or Rom Manager, and merits of each would be great.
Every ROM is gonna have pros and cons.. and when you add different users to the picture.. the pros and cons change for each person. Your best bet would be to try them out for yourself and see which one you like. Likes and dislikes are gonna vary from person to person... also is the reason why these threads don't stay around long. This ROM vs. That ROM.. too many opinions. Read the changelogs.. see what this one has vs that one. Try this one for a few days, then try that one.
And since you asked, i prefer CWM over ROMManager for flashing.. but that's just me.

Thanks, I've been reading up on them both and will probably try them both out. Like you said, what's great for one might be a deal breaker for someone else. Just looking for a shortcut, maybe better that there's not one. ;-)
I hope I am posting in the correct place. I don't want to break any rules!
I'm getting a Nexus One and want to set it up as a PMP type device. I want to keep internet and market access, as well as camera functionality. I won't be activating the phone. I was wondering if anyone could offer suggestions as to what kernels and/or roms might be best. I would be looking for a the best battery life I could get. I also have a friend trying to do something similar with a Dinc.
If anyone could offer any answers as to what might be best I would appreciate it. I've messed around with rooting etc on a Dinc and Archos devices but I'm not expert.
Thanks!
I have been reading a bunch of HTC One vs S4 threads and been watching them. And I feel like everyone is making the comparisons on each stock, which makes sense. But I was wondering which is better when rooted and both having a custom rom and kernel. Since I know that having a custom rom and kernel can make the overall performance better.
For Example, people were complaining about the lag on the S4 so they switched to the One. But I feel like if those people would've have rooted it and put a custom rom or kernel, it might have helped the lag.
So which device do you guys think is better with custom rom and kernel improvements?
Which one has a bigger improvement with custom roms and kernels?
Thanks guys And if there is a thread like this comparing the roms and kernels of each device against each other, then post a link and I can ask to close this thread.
Posted this in the S4 forum as well to have opinions on both sides and not just on one side, which isn't fair.

It's not different at alllllllllllll.
It's not allowed, and everyone here will say the HTC One.
There's no point to this, promotes arguments and trolling. Don't start it.
All your questions require knowledge and use of both phones. I know a few people have both but a lot of people here haven't spent £1000 on 2 phones, so will only own the HTC One. Therefore the S4 answers will be a load of crap
I am getting tired of reading about comparisons and threads turning into arguments because of such issues. Bottom line is, devices should be fairly compared on a stock basis and not with custom ROMs or kernels. There are benchmark tests and others available online, just use Google and you'll find everything you're looking for. They are both great devices and that competition in the latest technology, features and market price are what make the world of smartphones better, which in turn benefits us.

This is not different. Please use the search feature and ask your question in an already existing thread.
To answer your questions though, I switched from the HTC One(running TrickDroid/ARHD, Bulletproof kernel) to the Galaxy S4(running WanamLite, ktoonz kernel) and now back to the HTC One(ARHD, Beastmode kernel). The HTC One has, by far, been the better experience. It's smoother, faster, and more responsive than my S4--on top of that, I actually used the "unique" features of the One(Blinkfeed, Zoe, etc) whereas on the SGS4 in an effort to smooth it out, I turned most of it's "unique" features off. Overall, I found most of it's "unique" features to be very gimmicky.
Here's what it comes down to: Neither phone is better than the other. There is no "best" phone. The closest you can get is picking a phone that has the features YOU want and that are important to YOU.
Hey there,
Not exactly a rookie here, but with all the different ROMS to flash, is there a consolidated resource as to stability and features/functions?
What works the best and why? I'm looking to do some exploring, but don't want to chase chickens finding something i like.
Thanks for any insight.

I would like to know the same thing so far I notice with some roms they don't have all the main key features which would include, speed, battery life, camera quality, sound quality, customization etc. Usually they have a couple or the other but not all. Any insights would be great.
