What do you guys think is the best rom for rooted nexus ones?I am using kang-o-rama 1.0b1 and it seems very fast and stable.So what roms do you guys think are worth trying?I am new to android comming from nokia e71 then iphone 3g and now to what i think is the best ANDROID.
It's all based on personal preference. My opinion?
Have a decent sized sd card, and install a ROM.
Trick it out to where you like it, nand backup.
Rename the BDS via Astro to the name of the ROM
Wipe, flash another ROM, repeat. Right now, I have
flashed versions of 3 ROMs.
-CM6
-asimrom (based off mcr)
-enom's most recent
CM6 I'm going to delete. It's cool, but I just don't feel it.
asimrom is VERY fast, and pretty stable, imo, and I get brilliant battery life with my undervolted kernel.
enom is the one I'm currently trying, and I must say I love it. With trackball alert built in, there's no need for trackball alert, and it's serving me very well. I'll use it for a week, and if it stands up, I may use it instead of asimrom as my main rom.
it's all about preference really.
How is battery life on enom?

What he said. With my particular kernel, I get about sixteen or seventeen hours, and I'm seeing the same type of battery consumption on enom.

People can you recomend me a good froyo ROM? I would like it to have fair battery life, speed, stability, and good for day to day use. Give me what you think is best under these conditions thanks!

I would kinda like an answer to this question as well. I am going to be rooting my friends G1 and he would really like a 2.2 rom with good battery life. I am new to anything G1 so any help would be great. Note: I have experience rooting and installing custom rom's on my EVO. Thanks guys.
So far, BiffMod 2.0.1 has been the best Froyo ROM that I've tried out. It has stability, speed, and customization. There's like 5 themes to choose from, which I thought was cool. It also has all the unnecessary stuff taken out of it. I'd recommend trying it out.
Thanks for the suggestion Skate. I appreciate it. Ill have my friend try it out and see if he likes it.

is there a good guide for upgrading from CM 4.2 to Biffmod? I'm currently on radio 1.22.12.29, which seems to be a no-no in some guides I've seen around for any upgrade
sparksmod is good but its bad on battery life
tried searching around for cyanogen 4.2 biffmod 2.1 but all I get is a list of roms, is there a guide anybody knows of for doing the upgrade?
Been using this for awhile, never had any issues, decent battery life and has great speed. Search for [ROM][Beta][in-development] jMod 2.2/AOSP 2.2 - Android for the rest of us - 08/05/10 its no longer developed though.
@Wright. Make sure that you show your friend the ropes about flashing froyo. Running froyo isn't a easy task at all. I've tried all of them and they always end up with some issue. Try Biff for now its the most stable froyo rom to date.

If you want to complain about the battery life, then complain to pershoot and cyanogenmod, because they are the ones that make the kernels, not me.
Woah guys back off a little with the noob please!
Listen there are no froyo roms that will totally satisfy you no matter how much everyone tries they wont run that great

i disagree i am running biffmodV2.1 and it is fast as any eclair rom ive tried it has working camera and video recording i cannot find a flaw in this rom.
In my Opinion the best froyo roms are from the manufacturer for MT3G or HTC Magic, which are working on a G1 thx to ezterry

Yeah same here biffmodV2.1 is the ****, the only thing is that i might have to buy an extended battery since i only navigate with wifi, but when it is on idle it probably loses 1 percent in 5 hours.
i reccomend froyo by laszlo, froyo yoshi, biffmod and sparksmod
Please! I know that 2.2.1 is the new rage on the Milestone but not everyone wants to run a beta/buggy release yet that's not that great on battery.
Remember when XP Beta/Vista Beta/7 Beta came out? Some people ran them, but many eager tweakers still dual booted because a beta OS is not meant to be 24/7 stable.
Well same here. I don't mind playing with 2.2.1 from time to time, but I'd like a stable Eclair ROM.
I know there are Eclair ROMs out there, but calling all ROM devs, please don't just ditch 2.1 like that. There are great ROMs already out there, but we'd all appreciate it if you all kept up the great work and added/fixed stuff in those already awesome 2.1 ROMs.
I tend to agree. 2.2.1 is just too buggy and uses too much battery imo.

You did not try Cronos 1.5.0 did you? Anyhow I will bump a question to Feeyo if he could build up an Eclair AOSP rom.
Like 89luca89 said, there already are Eclair ROMs. And they were prety much developed to what they can be, so rly no point to further develop them, except for some theme changes not much can be improved on them.
It is hardly a month since 2.2.1 GOT leak, and the worse hickup(battery drain) seems to be finaly brought to Eclair level or will be in near future in some ROMs.
Maybe the last reason to use Eclair now is if you need cifs.ko module and some others not yet made for 2.2.

There's bugs. Look at the Telus lite thread and people talk about bugs. HoNo's own ROM has the music bug that brings it to the original Telus 2.1 level.
Which 2.2.1 rom has anywhere the batter life of the eclair roms? I'm nearly 16 hours into this charge and after heavy use I still have 40% battery left and I'm overclocked to 800mhz. I've tried a couple 2.2.1 roms and none come close to the performance I'm getting with the eclairmod. When battery life is as good as this, perhaps ill switch butbfor now I have no reason to switch.

Used it. It's pretty good but honestly 2.2.1 just isn't as fast as 2.1 right now... at least not yet

The last cm6 for milestone is way way better -batterywise- than stock 2.1,of course much faster,but the battery life is fantastic if you install it properly and maybe use conservative governor.
At 1000 mhz i m getting about 30 full hours with a little talking and a quite lot of surfing (i mean hours) both wifi and 3g or 2g if i want my battery to last e

well there is enough 2.1 and 2.2.1 ROMs around for everyone. I don't see the need for more.
2.3b7 was my first non-stock "adventure". It went well and I've been pleased with the rom and phone. Now it's time to freshen things up. Any suggestions, pros/cons of other roms I should consider? Thanks for your insight and help!

You should just read through all of the Roms on the first page or two of the Dev section. Look at which ones have the most posts/replies under them and check them out. Evaluate the features list and browse through some of the more recent comments pertaining to them to get a feel of how well each one works and what they provide. Ultimately, which rom to use is entirely dependent on what you're hoping to get out of it.
What do you want it to do/not do?
Why are you looking to move away from Cog?
They all have their own ups and downs, it all depends on what's right for you.
I'm running Cog 2.3b6, myself, and thinking of upgrading to Cog 3.03. For what it's worth.
I used to use cog as well. I decided to change roms due to what I perceived as a rom problem, only to find out that it was more and likely a modem problem. I had really poor call quality and overall signal degradation.
I decided on the now no longer supported assonance and albeit all the "bells & whistles" of the newer roms, I do not have any interest on flashing a new rom. I have since flashed the speedmod kernel, which drastically helped with my battery issues and will flash a diff modem.

Went through a number of ROMs and settled on FireFly with SpeedMod kernel. Smooth, fast (no overclocking), good battery life, GPS fixes, haven't run into any FCs in over a week now... just a very solid performing ROM.
I would recommend serendipity but phoenix looks like the next best (never tried it though)

I'm not necessarily looking to move away from Cog... just wondering if there were any "runaway winners" that I should consider also. From the posts so far it sounds like there may be several worth considering.
What I'm basically looking for is an overall combination of speed (without overclocking), stability, functionality, and battery without any of the factors being stressed/tweaked to the extent that it significantly hurts any of the other factors (i.e., I don't want extreme speed if it means an unacceptable hit on stability or reduction in battery life, etc.)

I find this really weird ....
Basically, battery drains REALLY fast from 100%. After a day off charge (around 8/ 9 hours away from home) it's dropped significantly. This amounts to about...
100% - 70/ 80% in morning from about 20 mins web browsing on wifi. After having it off, in my pocket doing nothing other than (supposedly) sleeping, battery life has dropped way below 20% (it varies). I started charging it after getting home though, but had to leave with it only at 33%. That was at about 6:30. It is still at 33% now .
What the fudge is happening? In the time from being at 30% I even texted and made calls... I even kept my phone on previously at 122- 480MHz SmartassV2 but it was running between 122- 614MHz SmartassV2 from when it was 33% ?
I know there are tons of threads about battery life, but this just stuns me. Please help Main Q: What is happening + how do I fix it :cyclops:
SOLVED: After using LMCFroyo I have concluded that the problem is that Gingerbread ROMs are the cause of fast battery drain for our G1s..... basically stick to Froyo
i'd say u need a battery replacement...
same thing happened to my G1 sometime ago...
battery behavior was insanely ridiculous... unless i'd keep it on charge, it'd shut down in say 5 mins of usage!
get a new battery... they are like maybe 10$ or under...
I think its down to a number of things, but mainly the rom your on. I just tried a gb rom, finding battery drained in 6 hours. Back with lmc froyo now, and back to normal battery drain, with battery draining in 24 hours at least.

hmmm... I still don't think I could live without any advanced options, so I thin kI'd prefer a CM based ROM. I'll see how GinSense performs, but it sounds as though Gingerbread is the problem.
Update: I've narrowed it down to either Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo (or one of the few variants of this).... I'm also thinking of Dreamteam Froyo because I like tvall's stuff....but if LMC is really that good I reckon I could hold on till ryree0 releases the latest update which he just posted about, plus it's actually up to date and supported.... so what do you guys think?
Personally I find lmcfroyo better than biffmod and fbl, but to be honest battery life and reliability are most important to me. I'd give it a try before any update, as it works fine, plus you'd notice the improvements when there's an update.
Edit: If you do go for fbl I recommend icsfbl, as in my sig. Its a nice blend of looks and fbl speed.

Thanks I'l give LMC another go and stick to it... so the general concencus (that looks wrong whichever way I spell it) is that new Froyo builds are better than old abandoned ones that were good in their time? Oh yeah, and when you say "battery life and reliability" are more important to you, does that mean you think Biffmod + co. are faster but not as good in other aspects? lol, this has turned into a Froyo discussion thread (sorry)

Yeah, i think you summed up pretty well! I can't believe the battery life with lmc actually - thinking about it that's what i like about it the most! I probably have the most basic and miminalistic set up going, so it should work as well for you. Removing hotmail from all my devices also helped i think, but thats just another issue in my quest for improved battery life!

One last q (sorry)
Thanks everyone for all your help, I've just got one last question: I'm thinking of still trying a different Froyo build based on CM, just for comparison, so would you recommend Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo.... I think the latter is more up to date, but it doesn's specifiy which version it is... thanks for all your help to my problem anyway :laugh:
