[Q] N1: CM6 vs. CM7 - why? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im not tired of flashing new nightly every day or two, but since there is a near perfect CM6 then what's the point using CM7 except a fancy lockscreen effect and more effectively apps2sd of CM? I mean for N1 users, why should we upgrade? Please dont flame me if it's a stupid question.

Gingerbread features. Copy&paste, animation, etc. If you don't like them - don't upgrade.

i've purposely stayed on cyan 6.1 all this time because it was super stable and feature complete.
i finally flashed the latest nightly, and i also flashed stock gingerbread, and there are some major idle power consumption fixes on both. stock GB reduced idle power draw down to some crazy number like -7mA, and on CM7 its around -15mA. compared to my cyan 6 install where i got -30mA or -40mA.
so this is why so many people claiming improved battery life. thats a good reason right there. then of course the new copy paste, screen off animation, and the look and feel of GB. it also seems to have speed improvements.

Updated to froyo and went back to CM 5.0.X Why?

I just tried froyo and it was awesome! But i missed my trackball wakeup too much.
Did anyone else try froyo but revert back to CM until he releases a froyo version and how come?
Just curious and wanted some discussion
I did cause this is just a test release of froyo and is still a little buggy. I'm waiting for the cm version. To flash

Same. Messed with it a few hours and went back to CM5.
I am getting triple the battery life with froyo... sticking with it until CM6.
For trackball wake download no lock.
I for one came from cyanogen and his roms awesome for a 2.1 rom. But its not 2.2. I love flash and can't get that from 2.1. Trackball wake was hive but can use no lock till cyanogen releases a froyo rom. The speed is alot faster imo on froyo 2.2 vs 2.1. Apps open faster and placing widgets on screen opens faster. The capacitive buttons are way more sensitive and the speakers seam louder. APPS TO SD stock is great on so is having memory although on custom ya get those. Just my opinion froyo brings a all alround better experience for me. Only thing I miss from cyanogen is the stock trackball wake ( no lock for now) and full 360 rotation in the browser. Other than that I'm golden. And the reception seems better with this radio ( although you can keep that and go back to 2.1)..
Everything is not for everyone
And I lime the pinch in gallery thing.

Mine lasts longer with more use with Froyo. Will flash CM6 the second it is released !
Got Froyo as soon as the rooted version was out...Just dropped down to CM5.0.7.1 tonight.
- I seriously miss the trackball wake too
- A few games (Asphalt and Super KO Boxing 2) and apps (TuneWiki and MountUSB) are either flaky/unstable or flatout don't run
- Since having Froyo, I've had to reboot the phone at least 4 times due to touchscreen calibration going completely out of whack.
- Overall it's definitely fast, but there were definitely hiccups/lags here and there that weren't big deals on their own, but the accumulation of them got annoying.
I've tried JIT out before on eclair and Froyo (while definitely much more stable) feels like it's still got some of the JIT quirkiness.
I'll likely give it another go as soon the rooted official froyo is out...But I'm definitely chomping at the bit for CM6 action!
got a question come to my mine, those having Froyo issue did them wipe all before install?
I find the Froyo is damn stable and no such mentioning issue.
Asphalt run perfectly.
Running perfectly smooth.
Trackball Wake? - just use lockbot pro and you have trackball wake and lockscreen customization.
Battery life guarantee better than any previous Eclair ROM, this include CM ROM as well.
No touch screen alignment issue.
No radio issue.
* Everything is perfect, the only I miss now is 7 home screen, hope CM can increase to 7 home screen by using the default launcher. I also miss the color changes of status bar clock and notification font. Another wish CM implement this function as in CM 5.0.7.1 in coming CM 6.0
I updated to Froyo and changed back to CM within a couple of days. The reason for it is right now I am travelling in Asia and using wired LAN connections to my laptop. Then using a program called connetifyme that uses the laptops wireless to share the wireless lan connection over an adhoc connection. Froyo would not connect to ad-hoc, but CM does.
Once home next week I'll put Froyo back on again.

The battery life in froyo is an improvement.
Battery life opinions are useless unless you have at least some data to back it up.
For example, I used to get around 16-18 hours a day before I had to charge. Now, I can usually last almost 20 hours.
i would also miss the black notification bar from cyanogen as well. can froyo be updated with metamorph to use the desire notification bar? that's another thing i want to update to froyo and maybe switch between cm5.0.7 and froyo, but would like desire black bar in froyo as well.

[Q] Best Android Version for NC

Hi all, just wondering if anyone could provide/knows where I can find a comparison between different versions of android on the NC? Considering switching from cupcake to cyanogen or honeycomb, just wondering what the benefits would be. Thanks!
I would say Cyanogemod 7, based on the fact that everything literally works.
CM7 with the tablet tweaks, or honeycomb. Overall, I find honeycomb to be far more enjoyable on a tablet, but CM7 with tablet tweaks is close behind and, as Burnes says, is more functional in the sense that more apps work on it and you have more features eg. bluetooth and better video.
If you can't choose, dual-boot regular CM7 and honeycomb
Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 image for sdcard (3/31):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324
It runs off the sdcard so I don't have to worry about BN update. Great battery life; it used about 5% over 16 hours; I did not turn OFF wifi when I put it to sleep, and when I woke up the NC the wifi came back by itself (i.e. I don't have to do anything) within a few seconds.
I have not tried CM7; from what I've read it's a great ROM, and the only major kink left is battery life at sleep. I have no doubt that the gurus here will iron out the kinks, and in a month I look forward to running rooted, OC BN 2.2 stock off emmc and CM7 off the sdcard.
Definitely CM7, especially considering that mad-murdock's tablet tweaks will be commited soon
I would have to say the CM7 tablet mod by mad-murdock is the best version to be using given all the tablet friendly features it has but Nookie Comb is nice though I didn't use it more then a few hours before going back to the CM7 mod. I liked honeycomb but it has some flaws and probably won't try it again till we get a source code dump from google.
Nookie Comb is the best, at least for me.
Madmurdocks CM7 RC4 with tablet tweaks
w/ dalingrin's 3/31 OC kernel
I Love It
I have seen no comprehensive comparison of the current versions of the available roms written up, sadly. I think for the same reason I have not done one:
I like what I am using and don't want the hassles of setting up all the others too.
So this isn't going to be an easy one...
It depends on your needs and desires- different strokes for different folks.
IF you want the most hardware working properly, best software compatibility and most intuitive tablet experience- CM7 with the Tablet Tweaks (Tweaks are not in full rom yet but will be soon. Download in first post- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002000) CM7 is intended for internal (emmc) insatllation but folks have gotten it working from sd too, I believe.
If you want Honeycomb to experience a version of Android that Google intended for tablets, it is available in emmc and sd versions as well. Please understand that the actual source code has not been made available yet, so this version is a Preview and has problems that can't be easily fixed without proper source. From all reports it is pretty good though.
Nookie Froyo has fans as well and can be installed either way (emmc/sd) and I am sure there are advantages to be found.
Even stock has good reasons to be chosen: many people really LIKE the stock B&N app and some of its features. Root makes it better of course, adding a real market to the device.
Pretty obvious to tell what my choice is, but I really do think they are all good.
Maybe you can try the all and do the first comprehensive comparison.
^nicely put.
I run my installs off the SD, so i have a stock nook when i want by just popping out the sdcard.
i just picked up a nook and have been trying all sorts of various roms trying to find what i like. I like honeycomb but feel it isn't quite ready yet.
cm7 does seem to have the most working features. One thing that has held me back is that I've been told that sleep doesn't work which forces you to charge daily. I have yet to add the tablet tweaks so maybe i ought to try that.
i've chosen to run nookiecomb and like it except for no bluetooth.
Thanks everyone, this has been super helpful! I've been spending hours every day for the last week or so tweaking my NC, but I'm still pretty n00bish. I'm going to give cyanogen a whirl, as the votes seem to go that way (although the battery life of froyo is tempting...).
Frankly, i can't see why anyone actually chooses to use anything other than CM7 right now. It is more stable than the Froyo build, and more up to date in terms of code base. Yes, it drains battery faster, but it also doesn't have an SOD issue that Froyo has (which is FAR more annoying). CM7 right now has bluetooth working, and with the fully working hardware acceleration, there is no reason to choose the older OS...

what is the SOD issue?
SOD = sleep of death. Basically, your system can be locked up after putting it to sleep, and will not come on without long holding the power button and going through a full bootup.

Overclock Kernel for G1 w/ CM6 32B?

I cannot find one... I just want it to be a little more faster, at least overclock to 600-680? I am getting a bigger battery so battery life shouldn't be a problem, I need it to be stable and non buggy.
PLEASE help, I have posted threads here and barely anyone responds. Please and thank you.

I guess I am just looking for a little speed bump and a MAJOR battery improvement, it barely lasts long with OEM battery. From 99 to 80 in a good 30 minutes, the hell?
For battery life on a G1, your best choice right now is Farmatito's kernel. I can go at least 24 hours with either barebones CM 6.1 or Froyo by Laszlo. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010932

I am using the kernel by ezterry, it's running pretty smoothly, how does this compare?
It is an improvement. Farmatito has managed to squash the usb battery drain bug. In standby, I lose 1% or less an hour. (No wifi, gps or bluetooth).

Alright biggest question, what is the most stable Sense ROM, I am talking like it runs as smoothly as you would think it's a new device on the market... I don't care if it has Froyo or Eclaire, it just has to work, as I enjoy eye candy, but I NEED speed. The browser on CM6 is just really slow... I know it's partially because this is a 32B device, but there has to be a better ROM, SPEED I need the fastest speed while still keeping the whole stability and pretty thing.
Any suggestions? Cause' as of now, I don't think I wanna be sticking with CM6 sadly. That and the best kernel you have ever found...and I will be happy
Please and thank you
I have no experience with Sense ROMS. Sorry.
I have been experimenting with just what you are looking for...something fast and stable that best uses my available RAM and meets my needs. I've tried most of the Froyo ROMS and have settled on two: barebones CM 6.1 and barebones Froyo by Laszlo. Right now, I'm running CM6.1.
I've made a script that installs a very tiny Gapps file with just what I need and takes out what I don't, including:
delete("/system/app/Protips.apk", "/system/app/RomManager.apk", "/system/app/CMWallpapers.apk", "/system/app/Facebook.apk", "/system/app/LatinIME.apk", "/system/app/LatinIMETutorial.apk", "/system/app/Twitter.apk", "/system/app/Gallery3D.apk", "/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "/system/app/Music.apk", "/system/app/DSPManager.apk", "/system/app/YouTube.apk", "/system/app/CMStats.apk", "/system/vpnservices.apk", "/system/app/VoiceSearch.apk", "/system/app/VoiceDialer.apk", "/system/app/PicoTts.apk", "/system/app/SpeechRecorder.apk");
I also delete all the ringtones I don't use and use a static bootanimation instead of the CM version. That leaves me with 25-28MB of RAM consistently, running no compache, swap or JIT and all apps internal. I also have custom MTD at 80/2 and have about 45MB of leftover space. Works well for me!

I removed a lot the apks that you listed, I am sure that I won't notice it too much seeing as I already overclocked to a good 614(don't notice anything wrong). I removed the software keyboard as I already have the Gingerbread keyboard, which is much better in my opinion, plus I already have the hardware keyboard anyways. The File manager was something I didn't need too, already used Astro and Root explorer. Rom Manager is extremely pointless because I don't even have CWM anyways so I couldn't use any of the features in the app. I listen to music a lot, use facebook quite often(even though it works very slow, I use it to sync contacts) and sorta want to keep the youtube app.
Thanks for the advice, if there is anything else, please do tell, because I feel this can go faster.

Got a Nook Color and modded it with CM9

I just purchased a Nook Color from Ebay, and after
I initially followed several posts about creating a bootable SD card to test an alternate OS. The instructions were straight forward, and I was able to quickly create a boot SD. I booted, and things worked, but because my several Kingston MicroSD cards obviously have poor throughput, the performance on the NC was excruciatingly slow and rife with Force Close errors.
So instead of dropping more cash on a more compatible SD card, I decided to just install directly to the EMMC.
I installed the CM9 nightly, (yes, I like living on the bleeding edge) and I must say that I'm impressed. It is a bit sluggish at times, and the touch screen response and accuracy could be better, but overall, I'm pleased. I may revert back to a stable version of CM7 just to compare performance, but until then, I'm quite happy with the results.
Oh, and I set up my DROID Bionic as a WiFi Hotspot, and the NC connects to the Internet without any issue. Very nice!
Sounds like you're doing well.
I was a long term CM7 Nook user and got good value out of that, but switched to CM9 a couple of weeks ago.
Yes, I have lost a few things and the performance / touch response was a little better, but I am sticking with CM9 as it is significantly nicer to use and improving all the time.
Make sure you are over-clocked to 1200 and using Interactive governor to get the best out of it.
CM9
I have tested several nightlies of MC9,I love it except for two big problems
1.Touchscreen is not very responsive
2.Streaming video like Hulu,Netflix,HBO Go and internet TV do not work
So I keep going back to CM7.
Have you also noticed that you sometimes have to touch above and to the right of an icon to get it to work correctly?
It drove me crazy until I figured that one out.
Wow! Those are the EXACT issues I ran into. And so I decided to go back to the stable release of CM7. Performance is like night and day. I can't believe how fast CM7 is in comparison to CM9.
My only real complaint of CM7 is that many apps don't recognize it as a "tablet" so apps tend to look like they do on my DROID Bionic, just in higher resolution. I'm not seeing many apps that display tablet-specific display elements. Not a big deal but kinda disappointing.
I'm not giving up on CM9, though. I may try the dailies every few weeks or so to see how things have improved.
I'm using the "official stable" release of CM7. Has anyone have any good experience with the recent MiRAGE CM7 releases? I tried one from a couple days ago, and had problems connecting to the Market.
I am have those issues as well. However, I am going to stick it a bit longer with cm9 as the nook is not my primary tablet.

I LOVE Mirage! It is so much faster than stock CM7.1.
FWIW CM9 seemed sluggish om my OC'd NC until I accidentally forced another reboot by running the battery down. The animations seemed smoother after that. It may just be perception though, as I wasn't really looking for it.
Installing using ROM Manager?
HI all,
I downloaded the CM9 nightly to update my Nook Color, which is currently running one of the CM7 nightlies, but an a little unsure on how to actually it. Are you using ROM Manager to install the updated ROM?
Currently running Rom Manager 5.0.0.6, which has Clockworks Mod Recovery 3.2.0.1 flashed.
And correct me if I'm wrong. This does include a kernel, right? I'm assuming I cannot run the 2.6.32.9 kernel I'm currently using in CM7 with this.
Later,
Robert
Which kernel you are going to use depending which cm9 build you downloaded. There are several modded versions of that kernel out there, and including the open-go drivers or not, etc. Every ROM will contain and run a kernel, and so it is automatically depending on which Cm9 ROM you choose. I believe that every build posted within the last three days or so obtains the newest modded kernel containing the experimental drivers and the patch that fixes the formerly prevalent SODs.
Since you have flashed the current stable CWR, I would flash through the CWR menu. Reboot into recovery, and make a backup. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and then choose zip on sdcard, and choosing your preferred cm9 build. Should be all set. Most flats the builds are basically great, but but if the nook isbyour primary tablet, and you may be glad you have a backup of your current cm7, as some bugs can make it hard to run the ROM daily. Battery issues and some laginess has been reported.
Cm9 seems to improve on an almost daily basis, so if you intend to switch permanently, you will probably want to reflashed to current build every several days. Once you have flashed the cm9 build, upgrading to a newer build only requires wiping cache and dalvik, and which is pretty easy and keeps your settings and data intact throughout. These builds are functional, and but meantnfor those who want tontry the most experimental ROMs and are willing to dream with the bugs and want to reflash the newest builds as they arrive.

[Q] CM10 too much for I9000 ?

Hi everyone
Recently, i've updated my i9000 from cm9 to cm10. But i found it a little bit laggy, there is too much data run in the background and my phone can't just handel it. Some app don't work anymore (i have some message after an unsuccefull update saying "out of memory").
Do i have to wait for further updates or should i go back to the latest CM9 ?
PS: Is there any tips to prevent the shuting down signal problem with the i9000 ?
Hey,
I've had the same feeling about CM10 being laggy on my I9000. Hopefully it's just another bug.
And it is a well known issue that some apps aren't still running yet.
I went back to CM9.1 which runs really smooth. I'm gonna wait for a CM10 stable version and check if it's still laggy.

You should try the new nightlies, hardly any lag at all.
All jellybean roms get laggy no matter what you do, I tried most of the JB roms and I used HellyBean for a while with super launcher (a custom supercharge for galaxy s) and it kept working fine because somehow by flashing a new rom version often the phone would stay fine (wasn't just wipe cache and dalvik)
But I'm now back to ICS because even if most of the time the phone is doing fine, when you need it the most it starts failing even overclocked at 1.4 and with performance mode and swap, so I will wait 11 days and buy the nexus 4 !
Jelly bean runs fine on my phone to be honest. No lag or nothing. Only ROM that's ever lagged is hellybean.

My experience is the exact same as the one you quoted.
I believe the clue to having a stable jb is to avoid most of the non-vanilla settings. I.e people come in various jb threads claiming bugs and unstability, while having oced, deep idle, custom kernels with experimental settings, not having wiped, flashed the wrong package - lots of issues that are experimental and not stock and stable.
The question of what is stable is relative, but I'm convinced that the ability to read, knowledge, proper flashing and simple logic would help avoid 9 out of 10 "unstable" jellybean experiences.
I am aware this might come over as a bit condescending, and I guess that's partially true, but it's not directed at any particular person here.

people, CM10 is the best. I've never had such a great rom, I mean, the SGS I is old, but with CM10, oh boy... I've never had such a good battery life, such a smooth rom, and non laggy ( helly bean was a disaster, it lagged a lot and very few updates).

i cant believe that so many ppl are busting HB.
laggy disaster?
first of all, HB is a CM10 too.
and beside this HB isnt laggy!
sometimes it depends on the phone, cos a SGS1 is not a SGS1. so many differences available...
best is, just try some JB ROMs and decide for urself!
I never had problems with CM10 . Run smooth .
I think is the best ROM i had experienced on my SGSI .
I installed slimbean (cm10 based) recently on my i9000m and its a tad laggy when I am pushing it but overall its better than the last stock GB rom that I had been on for a long time (got tired flashing this and that). And its stable too. Overall the switch has been nice, for the main reason that I have less of a desire for the SGS 3 (hey there's always the 4 one day right?)
My experience with cm10.1 has been roller coaster. To day it is fast and smooth but yesterday it is leggy and gets stuck. I frequently get popups of applications not responding etc. The i click wait and it gets done.
Before you throw me with rotten tomatoes let me give you the steps that i followed.
Got a brand new i9000 from from a warranty claim a month ago.
Flashed cm10.1 nightly using Cwm after having to work around a few bugs with the new heimdall program not being compatible. But with CWM on I no longer needed the pc.
Download a nightly (26 Feb)
So did a factory reset and wiped everything. Flashed cm10.1 nightly again just to make sure. Then loaded a modem that seems to work for my area. The modem is a XXJVR and is a ICS modem. then flashed Google app for jb 4. 2.2.
Rebooted and logged in. Restored all my sms using sms+ backup and restore
Installed all my preferred application from play Store.
It started nice but soon became slow and large.
So I updated to 10.1m2. Same problem.
At this moment it is workable. It takes about 6 counts to respond to changing from portrait to landscape. If i turn it one the home screen takes about 2 counts to get updated and responsive.
Holding the home button gives you the recent application list. It takes about 2 counts to respond with a vibration and then 2 to 3 more counts before the menu pops up and the list of recent applications have been populate. I don't know if this is normal but 5 counts feels forever when you decide to do something and need to wait for the system to be ready.
I am not over clocking and I am running no custom kernels.
The notification bar at first comes down in jumps. If i do it again it is smooth.
But the biggest frustration is typing. The lag between presses and haptic feedback seems to be random. It is always under a half a second but when you want to type you never know if it got the press or not. Just as you think you need go repress the letter updates.
Battery life is also erratic. Yesterday the phone was uncomfortable hot in my pocket all day. Battery did not make 14h. Today it is cool and it is at 73 % for 9h.
The main battery life is taken by android OS and screen. Not calls or any of the chat apps that I use. Yesterday Android OS took half my battery life.
Going to apps the zoom is jumpy and sliding jumps. If i do it again it is smooth.
And today is a good day.
Any suggestions what I can do to improve the performance? Except getting a new phone.

I don't think I can quite relate to that, my phone runs CM10.1 quite well...
Had to be said though that I can feel my phone struggles running it, pushing the limits pretty hard.
My phone has the slow RAM, unfortunately, I'm sure a lot of the people posting stories of glory are ones with the faster version.
That said, I could never in a million years go back to an earlier version, I know my phones limits and work around them without too much trouble, mainly browsing (using Chrome) is the one thing my phone struggles with.
But regarding your erratic phone behavior, have you installed a startup manager and better battery stats?
Android battery stats doesn't always do a very good job of reporting exactly what apps or background processes are draining over time...

My experience with cm10.1 has been roller coaster. To day it is fast and smooth but yesterday it is leggy and gets stuck. I frequently get popups of applications not responding etc. The i click wait and it gets done. .....

It been quite some time now, but have you been able to fix your erratic behaviour? Cause I'm experiencing something similar.
I tried Slim JB & Fishears Rom so far. Right after flashing, without any apps, the roms seem to be running smooth but Slim JB soon became laggy so I tried out Fishears Rom which seemed to behave smoothly even after installing some apps.
But after several month of usage the system slowed down almost as much as it was with Slim JB.
As both of them are based on CM I guess it's a general problem that the SGS 1 just can't handle the new Rom + big amout of apps. Sometimes it runs relatively smooth if I cleared RAM etc and didn't start any apps, but as soon as I for example listen to music in the background everything just becomes laggy :-/
I guess after 3 years my SGS1 is just too old now^^

Hi. No I gave up. My first SGS1 was amazing and did not behave like this. I think it had faster ram. Due to some issue it was replaced under warranty. The replacement looks the same but it is very frustrating. I am running stock rom now 2.3.4 with almost nothing installed. But it find that it is a pain. Calling takes long to actuality start to dial. The screens are smooth but when you do things. Like flip between apps or go to dialler it is almost unusable.
I think Samsung release more expensive variations in the beginning and then keep the look the same but drop the cost of the handset to the end.
Hi.
