[Q] Precision 3.5 VS Torch 1.5 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yes I know both these ROMs are created by ryude and one runs 2.2 UCKB1 while the other runs 2.2.1 XWJS5 but I would like to know how they compare vs each other being that they are both slim ROMs (being ryude's speciality) such as battery life, snappiness or performance, etc.

[Q] Flash on Froyo

So I know froyo is currently the only OS that works on the Nook Color and supports flash. However my question is, which version does it work better on, 0.6.7 or 0.5.6?
Quadrant scores are lower in 0.6.7 but I believe thats do a change in codecs, but that linpack scores are roughly even. So from your experience:
Which version of froyo has better compatibility with flash driven websites?
Which version of froyo runs flash faster/better (i.e. on the same website) ?
This is not about which version of froyo is better, but purely which one is better SPECIFICALLY at flash.

[Q] Most stable general use rom?

Hi All,
Would love to know what you guys feel is the most stable rom for general everyday normal phone use? I like having apps on the sd but thats about my only needed feature?
Which one do you think runs the fastest, has best battery perfomance and doesn't bug/crash much?
Cheers chaps
best battery with [email protected]: 2.1 rom with link2sd (& stock with quarx kernel for oc?)
good battery with best performance with app2sd: 2.2.1 (i prefer Utopia)
good performance with app2sd & a lot features: 2.3.5 (i prefer Swiftdroid)
i'm currently using Utopia RC2 and its very fast & stable (4me faster & more stable than swiftdroid), but i'm limited to few roms due to my need of tun-support)
I am using utopia too (rc3) and it works great for me. Very stable, fast and with good performance at stock clocking. So its battery friendly too
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
+1 for Utopia.
miroslav_mm works very hard to improve his ROM. It started from the solid base of Swiftdroid's Littlebrother and just keeps getting better.
A great all-round performer.
Utopia, any doubt???
Swiftdroid. It's very stable to me, and i don't have to charge battery two times in a day (it holds for min 1.5 day)
I use Swiftdroid but I have the time to charge it. The battery level is very unstable, somewhat getting from 20% to 80% in a few seconds during charging. I just use it for the performance
I use AOSP V3. The battery is great, although in the latest release the performance is bad.

[Q] CM7 vs Sammy ROMs?

Hey guys,
i have a (well very basic) question about CM7. Do i see it right that Sammy ROMs are kind of "optimized" for our luvly Galaxy S or is it kind of the same as CM7?
I read the faqs and know that CM7 is Stock Firmware "adapted" for our nice Galaxy S. But what is better to use - CM7 or Sammy ROMs? Are the Sammy ROms better optimized for the Galaxy than CM7 is ?
I tried using CM7 when it was still fresh and had lot of probs with the signal strengh of my phone (efs backup was done and when i reverted to sammy rom everything was fine).
Thx for ur opinions/answers in advance.
Cheers TOmatoe
Well, CM7 and other roms based on it (MIUI, insanity) have performance advantage over Samsung roms but their battery life is not so good. Some users also report bugs like force closes.
On the other side Samsung roms (especially odexed ones) have good battery life but performance is not like on CM7. Odexed roms are better considering performace.
I use odexed and i am pretty satisfied with it. Both performance and battery life are good.
Hit thanks if this helped
Like the previous poster mentioned, CM7 is largely regarded as a performance-oriented ROM; Samsung ROM's, on the other hand, optimize the phone to generally have the least amount of problems, and also tend to have better battery life. If you're a hardcore techy, love to customize, and just love options to do stuff, then CM7 is for you; if you don't care and just want your phone to work without a hitch, then Samsung it is.
Personally, I'm power-hungry. I've used CM7 for quite awhile now. I'm a little curious as to how much better the battery is on Samsung ROM's currently. I easily manage a full day on CM7, but under a heavy workload, you really start to notice the repeated 1% drops. I should really test out Samsung to see where their battery life currently stands.
I recently made the switch from Samsung ROM (darkys) to CM7 (MIUI) and while in the past I've been let down, I absolutely love this one. Feels much more responsive and not experiencing much less battery life either

[Q] Recommended ROMs/Kernels

Very n00bish question here, but I'm having trouble finding an updated source of comprehensive information. I accidentally smashed the screen on my Fascinate, so I have to fall back to using my Verizon OG Droid.
It was running old software, of course, so I flashed the newest CM7 nightly (update-cm-7-20120226-NIGHTLY-sholes-signed.zip). Also updated the baseband to the newest I could find (C_01.43.01P).
What is the newest or recommended ROMs/kernels these days? If there is an updated thread that lists them, that would be just as good.
Thanks!
I've been happy with Droid Concepts (Final Build 13). It's froyo based with plenty of options.
I have been very happy with Pete's Bugless Beast GPA 19 running ChevyNo1 uLow voltage kernel 1.0 Ghz. It's a stock Gingerbread based ROM that is very stable and great battery life.

Steel Droid 10 was just released yesterday for the Droid, so that is probably the most recent ROM based off CM 7 source -

Here is a listing of most of the Rom's for the Droid:

There is also a ICS Rom in Pre-Alpha here at XDA based on CM 9 source

I am using the cm9 now. It is stable enough for daily light usage. There is some lag when opening and closing apps due to lack of ram. Android automatically closes background tasks when shortage of ram and reopens again when foreground app is closed. Even Camera is working now but still laggy. Launcher performs buttery smooth after all icons are loaded. Try this rom.

Very nice info! I've been running Steel Droid 10 for the past few days with the included ChevyNo1 low voltage 1ghz kernel. It's nice looking, and runs pretty good. Not buttery smooth like the froyo cyanogenmod ROM's I used to run back in the day, but it's alright. I get about 18 hrs of battery life.
As tempting as the ICS rom sounds, I don't know if it could compare to ICS on the Fascinate. I was running AOKP, and it was a thing of beauty.
I've been thinking about rolling back to a froyo based ROM, but I haven't yet. Decisions, decisions.

I'm on SD10 also, it's really nice, I'm getting great battery life and performance. It's smoother than most GB based roms I have used.
ICS is actually very smooth on the D1 it's just very...unusuable for daily use. It's getting there very slowly.
Going back to froyo would be so hard every time I try I always end up back on GB because it has fancy things I find hard to live without anymore. DC13 is very very stable and fast though if you do go back
I have to give huge props to Pete Alphonso. I used my OG Droid as much as I could and pushed it to the limits every single day for over two years. I've installed probably 20 different roms and out of all of them the one that stands out was GPA19. I was able to overclock to 1300mhz stable. No other rom would allow me to run past 1100mhz.
It's clean, simple. Doesn't have any bloat or unwanted extras. I can't say enough about how great the GPA/BB ROMS have been. Pete is the master of the OG Droid
Best Rom??
Hi
Personally I think that FroYoMOD is the best or Steel Droid
i have tried CM7, Liquid Smooth, ChevyNo1's Simply Stunning, MIUI, and Steel Droid. i just recently gave up on CM7 after a year or so because it just became too buggy. IMO, Steel Droid (currently v10) is the best in terms of stability, features, and battery life. Liquid Smooth is a close second, although not as stable and feature packed. MIUI is very stable and quick if you want something simple, though, it just doesn't have the features that the others do. SS was always snappy, i just got terrible battery life no matter which kernel i used.

Smoothest Froyo ROM with best Battery Life?

Which 2.2 ROM for the Milestone is the fastest, but also has great battery life? One that will withstand running apps smoothly, but not killing the battery so quickly.
any rom 2.2 to 550-800mhz overclocking increases battery life 2 days straight ... I recommend Rom rentail brazil .. Froyo 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007493&highlight=brazil this one?
yeah .. but I do not have the link to the ROM
In my opinion TheFroyoMOD is the best one.
CM6 is the best Froyo-based ROM, however CM7 provides better battery life and performance, compared to Froyo.

You can get either fastest or great battery life, not both... Stock Froyo is better in the battery life department than anything else, some roms are close, but even with undervolt and turning off radios/3G when not needed, stock froyo battery life is better (and can get even better by doing the exact same thing)...
Altough, it is not as smooth as Froyomod or CM6 or CM7....
You will have to either give up a little bit of battery life, or a lot of smoothnes.... My Milestone is running CM7 and I think that it is, overall, the best option for it.
