[Q] what ROM are you running, and why? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says why don't everyone chime in here for a minute and say what ROM and maybe even what kernel you are running and why you chose that particular one.
I will start.
MicroMod Gingerbread ROM (at the moment),
some overclocked kernel,
and I am running this one because I have ran about everything for my N1 i can find in here and this one is good.

Running MM GB ROM v.20, with stock kernel.
Reason? I can't wait any longer for the OTA

CM 6.1 cause I'm to lazy to try all the different ones out there.

enomther's TheOfficial Nexus1 -> MIUI(0.12.31 with Wildmonk's kernel)
for enomther's, I needed app2SD+ badly when I tried custom ROMs, and it works OK to me.
for MIUI, I just wanted to try something different.

GB v.20 ... its almost the full port of GB and its smooth as butter

Cyanogen Mod roms ONLY, since day one of having my first android device.

[Poll]Which ROM is the best that you've ever used in HTC Buzz: Wildfire?
My first customize rom was puzzlerom but this rom is very bugged, the kernel isnt working good and had a loot of freezes. Now I use cyanogen mod 6.1 and I' m very happy. This is great rom with updates. Cyanogen's rooms are the best because I have wildfire, my frend have G1 and we both using cyanogen rooms. I never using openfire and I cant say anything abaut this... This is my opinion

Cyanogen would be my fav if it had flash in it... for now.. wildpuzzle 8.0.10 since 11 gives me lots of network dc problems..

Id go for OpenFire for now. Until CM gets the sim PIN fixed. Then id permanently switch to that
I do not get it - what is the point of "Whats the best..." poll threads?
You should probably understand that every single person is different, likes and prefers something else.
Imho Wildpuzzle 2.1 1.0.1 and Openfire 2.3.

there is..... NO SUCH THING as the best of anything. EVER. There is a Majority, and a minority, AND in between, BUT there is NEVER EVER a case for the best of anything. We ALL have different needs and tastes.
Want to Know MY favorite rom? Stock. Its runs near flawless, EVERYTHING works and there are no major bugs.
Want to Know ^^Kevins^^, CyanogenMOD.
Neither of us are right or wrong, it just so happens that our needs are fufilled by that particular rom.
Flash EACH ONE, play around with it for a few days and then try the next and you will find one that just 'feels right' for you.

rarrrr internetz!!! the poll is asking an opinion? which is the best rom you have used.....personally the best rom i ever used was the private beta preview of w[ildfire]ndows 98 with added blue screen goodness. available only to me in my head. second best is openfire, but at least it tries.
This poll is just for voting your favorite rom. I don't want any arguments happening in forums :X

all roms where full of bugs.anyway.the best rom is cyanogen.but as i said:every rom is full of bugs.
they shouldnt do it with the chinish version
The best rom i tryed when i used my wildfire was handsdown Openfire.
Fast as hell stable and smooth.
if you ever have force closes you only have to run "fix permissions" in rom manager + reboot.
Meh cyanogenmod, wins alot of votes only by the name.
VillainROM for Wildfire!
Openfire 2.3 combined with SetCpu, cant get any faster than that
Stock - v.stable and has sence and resolves clockwork charging issue (I'm not rooted) and I couldnt get wildpuzzle to boot

What charging issue?
Well, to be honest, i went back to stock rom, just using another kernel that's rooted, and gives me oc capabilities.
I did it because even tho the devs are doing a great job on these custom roms, they are still flawed, some minor bugs here and there, but it adds up, and i can't just fix the issues my self, maybe some can, but i can't.
I've tried WildPuzzleROM 2.2 Froyo v8.0.11 & CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC2
i liked wildpuzzle best.
My vote goes for stock Rom , then comes OPENFIRE fastest and stable too

Most reliable/complete 2.3 rom

Hi,
I've never tried a gb rom (in fact any rom), but I'm rooted and ready to go. But which one? So many choices.
What's the most reliable and complete gb 2.3 rom? Recommendations?

You want everything for granted? Test and see which is good enough for you. Maybe someone has other tastes...
Hi Andy,
I've been using MicroMod's ASOP for a while now with no issues (other than those listed, mainly no Video Camera). Getting around 2 days battery life with moderate use, which is better than other roms I've tried.
It's mainly stock, which works for me. Best bet is to try a few and see what you like. Nandroid is your friend!

Micromod's GB ROM is pretty stable for everyday use.
If you want features than the CyanogenMod 7nightlies is stable enough for me to use everyday but it's still a work in progress.
...........
I like Micromod's GingerBread Rom (unfortunately just announced that he will be leaving the building for another device).
The CM nightlies are plenty stable.

Hi guys,
Thanks to all who replied. Seems like a fairly good consensus of opinion, that micromods rom might be s good starting point.
Once I've started (probably with micromods), who knows where it will lead? (Hopefully not to a brick..
)
Just don't want my first ever flash to be something known to be incomplete or unstable.
Ta!

MicroMod's latest version of 2.3 .. and flash redstar's kernel for an awesome battery life.
hi Deekay, are you referring to this redstart kernel: RedStar 925mV Kernel?

Don't worry so much man. As long as you're not flashing an HBOOT, radio, or maybe a recovery, it's very hard to brick a phone. I would recommend trying a leaner, cleaner GB ROM before trying MicroMods, just so you can get a feel for pure GB without all of the extra apps and funky screen transitions. Straight CM7 nightly is what I'd suggest. Check imfloflo's thread.

CM7 GB is more stock than MM AOSP GB? I find CM to be one of the most modded ROMs out there, not that that's a bad thing.

CM7 has a lot of options built in, but so does MM's GB ROM. Both are excellent, but of the two, CM doesn't have any fancy screen transitions and extra apps installed aside from the basics.
Hi all,
Thanks for all the suggestions. Unsure of the "wonkyness" of cm7, I flashed micromods aosp gb rom last night. Did multiple titanium and nandroid backups, bit my lip and went for it.
Superb! Running it now, no regrets so far... all done within about an hour, everything working.
Thanks for all your comments.

Just to make it clear for others as I think there is a little confusion. Micromod777 has released two gingerbread ROM's. His original GB ROM was one of the first good stable builds after the AOSP was released, this finished on v.20 which can be found here:
Gingerbread v.20
He then began working on a new ROM based on Cyanogenmod 7, which is now discontinued as he's a busy man:
MicroMod's Gingerbread CM7 Custom ROM v1.4-FINAL

Do you use a Custom or Stock Rom?

I´m using a Custom Rom (FroyoMod)
Do you have any other Custom Rom suggestions for me?
Miui, either stock or better, eybee1970's version.
Been using CM6 for months, still very happy with it
Using stock Froyo, slightly modified in Androidiani 3.3 (overclock, themes, interactive governor, zipalign, etc.). Find it quite acceptable ;-)
miui by eybee1970
CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC10 11.06.14 (Android 2.3.4)
Custom ROM (CyanogenMod 7 at the moment) almost all the time, since I got the phone last year.
MIUI 1.3.11
Last froyo based MIUI that has the 12 hour time format on the lock screen, as opposed the the 24 hour format that cannot be changed. Gingerbread MIUI started to get slow and bogged down after a day or so It was perfect except for the bad lag I was getting.

Been a UD fan since I got the phone.....running Steeldroid 7.1 now..
Project Elite 5.0.x Honeycomb Theme ...clean and gorgeous
I've been using CM6 for about 2 months, and i'm quite satisfied with it, except for my problem in Google Apps
Went from stock to Cronos to iceandfire overhauled to thefroyomod (quite fast! but phone gets scorching hot from 3G/CPU/WIFI activity) and now back to trying to decide between Cronos Froyo or Cronos Ginger, used Froyo so far today.

Most Stable rom?

Hello, I own a motorola milestone from telus, and have tried Cyanogen mod 7 and Miui. They werent bad but of course had errors which is expected. What is the best "Stable" rom out there for the milestone. Preferably froyo and higher! any suggestions for roms would be greatly appreciated
I would say that eybee's MIUI is quite good, it implemented kabaldan's DSI fix and other stuff. For Froyo, I recommend, FroyoMOD, an update is coming next week. For GB, I find Cronos and MIUI are quite stable.

Some changes on Cyanogen's Mod7 for Milestone on its RC10 version have made this rom one of the most stables among custom roms, besides, i really think that CM7 is more stable than stock firmwares
I went from stock 2.1 to iceandfire CM6/CM7. My experiences are very positive: performance and batterylife are much better than on stock and most of the kinks of the early cm7 builds have been worked out.
In fact its running so well, that i dont see the need to upgrade eventhough the hardware is aging quickly

I have just switched back to cyanogen mod 7 rc 10 the latest one, and so far, ive tested everything and its all snappier. I have v6 supercharger on as well which helps it as well. i am very pleased with this latest version.
Cyanogen 7.1.0 RC10 is very stable. So if you want Gingerbread qive it a try.
Otherwise, the most stable ROM out there I still believe its the official 2.1-update1 one.
cronosginger 1.4.0 most stable for me
When I ran CM7 on my Verizon Droid 1 I had a lot of problems with randomly not receiving text messages... I ended up switching it back to CM6.
Does this still happen on cm7? (yes I did check the button to lock the messaging app in memory...)
I had some problems w/CM7, screen went crazy, switched to Steel Droid and it's working great w/GB.

thanks for the input will give it some consideration, but for the meantime i have yet to have a FC or anything slowing down the phone on cyanogen mod 7 rc 10.
I went back to cronos 1.4 and it is very stable.
CM7 RC10 is one of the best i've tried fast, smooth ... that's all i need ^^ ... i like Miui too, but it still has many crashes with contacts with no aparent reasons ..

what crashes with contacts ? .. do u have the latest version eybee's version ?
I think stability wise they are all good. The latest custom firmwares don't have random reboots or battery drain. But in terms of the most usable I would suggest telus lite 5.2
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
For me CM7 is very slow and crashes all the time. But I think I've got some software issues.
In my opinion FroyoMOD 2.8.0b is most stable rom For me, no reboots, freezing etc.
Yep, currently using CM7 RC10 and I think it's working really well.. snappy and stable
I´ve tested for my german Milestone CM6, CM7 RC9 and RC10, MIUI 1.7.1 and at last Ho!No!
The same problems with all this ROMs: Reboots every day, no notification on incoming SMS (except MIUI), no games runs (angry birds, stupid zombies, etc. - except CM6), reboots after one shot with the camera app. With MIUI, I have no free space on internal (although I`ve moved all apps to sd) and no RAM.
And I`ve tested everything with CPUsettings, overclocking, VM Heap settings, build.prop optimization, vsel settings, etc.
I`ve deleted all my favorite apps to get more space and performance. No widgets on screen..
So, I don`t know, which ROM I should test the next :-(
The fact is: Gingerbread ROMs are to heavy for my milestone. So I go back to CM6. I want my games back!!

I'd suggest giving FroyoMOD a try. There are a couple bugs in the latest 2.9 version, but I'm sure luca will get them ironed out, and the versions that I've used have been very stable and very responsive.
I like CM7 as well, but have always found myself cursing the lag and memory shortages that I get after a few days' use. But I'll probably give RC11 a try anyway.
Those of you using Cronos, is Maps working alright?
yeah, FroyoMod is a good Idea.
I love MIUI and CM7 too. The stock sms- and phone-app in MIUI are much better than all others. But for my weak Milestone they are too big.

[Q] Best ROM for Milestone

Hi!
I bought an original Motorola Milestone (the original one) a little more than a year ago. When I got it, I rooted the stock ROM (Android 2.1). A few weeks ago, I installed the latest version of MIUI ROM, but I don't like it. Well, I like the ROM itself very much, but I don't like how slow the phone is. It doesn't feel as fast as the stock 2.1 (I had it overclocked at 800MHz). For instance - Sygic that worked as a charm on 2.1 is very slow on MIUI and crashes all the time. And even when it works it lags as hell. I also don't know if the Milestone Overclock application works with MIUI - it doesn't give me any errors when I load the module but it doesn't work on startup.
So any ideas how to speed this thing up? I found these solutions:
a) go back to stock 2.1, which worked almost as it should and was fast
b) go to stock 2.2 ROM
c) Install some other custom ROM (which one?)

CM 6 & 7 are both great.
I don't know if flashing CM6 or 7 would help much. MIUI that I am using currently is based on CM6 after all. And I would be totaly happy with it if it ran a little faster. I want a faster browser and GPS navigation that works like it should. Both things worked on stock ROM better than they do now.

Are you running an old Froyo MIUI? You should try the latest MIUI on Gingerbread. Basically, every ROM is based off of CM7, so you should try that first, or possibly FroyoMOD if you want a Froyo ROM.

try Ice and Fire.
I've tried all 3 (CM7/MIUI/I&F), and the latest build of I&F has the fastest browser i've seen.
No, I am using one of the newest version of MIUSI (from MIUI US) that is based on Android 2.3.5 - at least the phone says so .

Try DannyDroid's version of MIUI, it has a lot more features that specifically tweak the Milestone for the best performance possible.
I am downloading it now. I hope that it works better than the version that I have.
Wow!
That is much better! While it is still MIUI, it works so much better - it feels faster and scrolling in browser is almost smooth, also Sygic which was crashing before now works - at least for now. I will see how it works after a few days, but first impressions are good. I also like that it is overclocked at 1GHz by default.
