[Q] If Enom 2.14.4 is it, what's next for you?

Guys,
I'm a stability freak, kind of the opposite end of the planet from the CM7 nightly guys I suppose... I love the extra features that are in some ROMs, but Enom's ROM has lots of nice features and is rock solid stable.
But as we all know, he has taken personal leave of Android since December and maybe he'll come back, maybe he won't...
So for you all who want a stable ROM similar to Enom, what are you considering, or what have you already tried? I'm hoping CM7 gets stable and released in the next bit and I'll perhaps move to it, but I really don't want to leave Enom. However I've heard Gingerbread is a bit faster, better storage efficiency, plus fixes, etc..
I'd create a poll, but there's too many ROMs to really put in there I suppose and I'd inevitably leave one or two out, so I won't.

Really never had a problem with CM7. It never reboots and I always get my calls/messages. What do you need more stability from.
You could always try the stock rooted rom plus whatever extras you need.

I am currently using Geo's stock GB ROM. It is running pretty good. DT A2SD seems to screw with the phone volume. (Not sure how or why, but I tested this extensively over the last 2 hours and it definitely does something to it.) Battery life is a little bit lacking. Perhaps a better kernel will help that out. The only thing that is really needed is trackball wake/unlock. I hope someone can fix the code for GB soon. I never really cared for FM radio, so no loss there for me. Aside from the lack of Enom's spare parts, I am happy with it.

lets hope enom comes back to us (greedily ).. i think were all in agreeance when i say he has his priorities straight... all the best to enom..
aside from that, i enjoyed leos roms shortly after froyo was released. i think he was on personal leave as well just recently.. his spare parts reminded me of enoms as far as options. even though he doesnt have the 'hardware skills' necessary, id love to see more from leo..

Very happy with the speed & stability of Geo's GB rom!

CM7 RC1 running VERY well for me. No wonks, great battery.. stable and fast

Yes I am missing enomthers latest touch for the gingerbread ota. But family comes first. Right now I am using dsixda gingerbread rom with root, deodexe, dt's apps2sd, busybox. So far it is running good. Was on geo114m's gingerbread for a little while.
What I miss about enomthers rom is the ability to uninstall programs that you are not going to use. Now I have to semi cook a rom taking out the stuff I don't want. Only thing all of these ota gbs are missing is the trackball wake and alert. Might go back to the latest enomther until that happens.

After testing different roms, I'm now very happy with SuperAosp rom.

I'm coming from Enom's ROM. I took the plunge and installed a couple of nightlies, and then CM7RC1.
I deeply regret it.
Even Dewonkifier didn't help me. Today my mic went silent and I had to reboot to regain it. I can't count the calls I've missed in the last week.
I don't like having to recompile it to build battery percentage.
Gingerbread completely sucks when it comes to launchers (or should I say it the other way around - all the launchers completely suck under Gingerbread). No launcher has been optimized to work with more than 5 screens - and that includes Go-EX / ADW / LP. They suck so badly I can't stand it. Nexus S has it the same way for almost 2 months - and it hasn't been fixed yet. I don't have high hopes of somebody fixing it too soon, until more devices with GB appear.
The only reason I'm keeping CM7 at this point is because I want to correct its RTL language support - it annoys me (specifically when mixing RTL and LTR languages, and more specifically - in punctuation). Plus, I hope to make it distinguish between LTR and RTL strings using a bit better algorithm than the "any RTL symbols in the string? => RTL string" current one. And make it adjustable under CM menus.
This week/weekend I hope to find enough time for it, test it, hopefully submit it (if I get a better solution than the current one), and I'm seriously considering going back to Enom's ROM, at least until one of the launchers gets GB-compatible and CM7 will be merged with GRI40 source and gets rid of the wonks. Never had this SMS bug for a year, don't think it'll bother me in another couple of months. And I don't use Copy-Paste nearly enough to justify GB sweetness. I'll really miss the screen animation...

Thank you very much kind sir.

This may actually be my first post here on XDA after countless hours of reading, installing, testing, tweaking and starting all over with my N1.
Your post title says it all. When Enomther called it quits, I figured my N1 had reached it's zenith and would live out it's days rocking The Official 2.14.4. This ROM does it all: Fast, many kernels available to play with, feature-rich, STABLE, did I mention fast?
Out of curiosity regarding the sheer number of threads, I just had to try an MIUI ROM. Tried the stock set-up from miui-dev.com. While I thought the graphics and integrated feature set was great, it was very buggy. Lots of little things just did not work as they should have.
I was not interested in CM7 as bloat seems to have sapped away speed over the last several months.
However, I have run the Gingerbread custom set-up put together by Geo411m and it rocks! Very stable so far, good battery life with the stock kernel, everything works like it should and the performance is excellent. Menus are snappy, web pages scroll smoothly...there are very few issues and I am thrilled that the N1s have a new lease on life.
Only two gripes about Gingerbread so far:
1) No Trackball unlock
2) No power widget integrated into the pull down - I LOVED this feature for toggling system states.
Other than those minor issues that I am sure will be addressed in future ROMs, I am thrilled with GB. Now if only Enomther would weave his magic once again...
Thanks to the great community that makes these phones so fun and powerful!

I'm with the TS when he says that he needs stability. CM7 up until RC1 was just not cutting it, too many wonks and quarks. I put CM7 RC1 on my N1 and it works, but I ended up back on Kang - o - rama's version of cm6.1. Now that I've seen Kangorama release a version with CM7, I may give that a shot.
One of my biggest concerns is memory. If I don't need the stock launcher or ADW, then I don't want to waste the memory there. Kang o rama really works that out with its advanced installer.
For now though, I'm more than happy with Kang o rama. My N1, my gf's N1, and my roommates N1 all are running it and are VERY pleased.

So not surprisingly overwhelming CM7 responses.. So maybe I'll try that as well, but I'm still going to wait until CM7 is released and the "wonky" stuff is fixed.

It's funny how some of us are having polar opposite experiences with CM7 RC1. Really good for some and totally lousy for others

I guess it depends on the usage, and on the level of stability required from the ROM...
I think if I was used to rebooting my phone once in a couple of days - I wouldn't notice some of the problems. If I wasn't used to having 7 screens filled with widgets and icons - I wouldn't complain about the launchers and GB. If I had a lot of calls - possibly I wouldn't have the phone idle for enough time to wonk out. Some uses make the problems more visible.

I'm running this one as well.
I've found it to be extremely stable and even better battery life than Enom's. I've also seen an improvement in bluetooth connectivity.
I miss most the status bar power control widget, better trackball notification and the flexibility of his spareparts mod.

these are the exact two features I'm missing from the GB roms out there. I tried Geos GB rom and after a few hours I couldn't deal without having these features.

[Q] CM7 RC2 or CM6.1.2

hey frnds .. i jus need a vote on which is better for r milestones .. in terms of performance stability and all tht jazz
CM7 RC2 or CM6.1.2 ?

CM7 RC2 Is amazing.

I think that CM6 is more stable than CM7 and have a more free ram memory. But CM7 is almost 2.3.3 ... and it's works pretty well.

I like the way that that gb prompt/lists apps for redownload now.
Easier to setup on a different phone, if you use more than one.
i also find the whole thikng more stable since 2 releases ago.
I never had major issues with cm6, but cm7 just flies.
Forget the crap about lower ram, etc. My phone feels snappier. But i dont play games...

I am on CM6 currently.... in it had been quite stable..been using the rom for almost a month now and could not find a better rom that cm6 in terms of stability(ignoring the long pause that require you to press sleep button and then unlock back to continue issue).
I had not tried cm7(although tried it once). just wondering can cm7 match the stability that cm6 provide?

the Cm7 and Cm6 have still the same bugs as the official 2.2.1.
-some apps are not working
and also they both are even more unstable.
If you want a stable Phone the only way right now is 2.1 official.
I have tested cm7 and cm6 and returned back to 2.1 since, the phone chrashes to often.

erm....

Maybe you're doing something wrong. Widgetlocker crashes too often on your super stable, 2.1 official, certified, and blessed by motorola, phone, after all.

[Q] Random shut downs

I know random shutdowns is an issue with Captivate. For the first year was maybe only 2 or 3 times total, but now, as it's past the warranty (naturally), becoming more frequent, which we know is always disconcerting to pick up the phone to find it's powered off
For those who are familiar with it, is it more likely hardware, a rogue app or the rom? I've been running a Froyo rom (Continuum 4.0) for a very long time, was thinking maybe if I flash a new rom (have been considering a GB rom for i897 like Illuminance) if it might solve it?
Any ideas would be appreciated

Froyo does have issues I would fnd a stable 2.3 gingerbread rom I have one on my old captivate and its amazing

Thanks.
I have seen some (only a couple) people post they're disappointed with the stability of GB roms, and prefer 2.2 roms. I did change the launcher a couple of months ago from LP to Go launcher (as to whether that could be a culprit) -but have been thinking of going to a GB rom anyway.

Try one...or a few, hell all of them.
It's Not like you can't go back to froyo if you don't like any...

True. Thanks, I think I'll make the jump to Illuminance very soon.

I'm in a very similar position and have several other issues, so I am also hoping that GB will be my salvation. Can I ask what factors made you decide on Illuminance? Thanks.

Haven't installed it yet, but leaning toward that rom as comments by users posting in the thread for it seem to feel it's stable, smooth, good battery, quick, using leaks specifically for Captivate, and I like that it's not heavily themed, close to stock, though there is now an ICS theme that looks nice, and the dev team seems to be diligent and responsive

I bet ICS would be good I never have seen any of its features but from what I've heard its awesome

Fast/smooth miui

I was thinking about trying out miui. The only problem is that there seems to be so many different versions. What version would you say is the fastest and smoothest on our incredible s. After all it is meant to look like an iPhone

I can only say that the one I have tried which is MIUI.us 11230 is not smooth especially in app with very long window and a lot of text, say Green Power settings.

Has anyone tried gal net weekly build?

I think instead of keeping asking ppl, why not try it yourself? Like me. Doing a nandroid backup is not really hard, or is it?
EDIT: Latest galnet weekly build is not really good. Lag like hell and my phone can't receive any signal.

Im now using miui. I got the one from miuiandroid.co.uk. it works well and doesnt lag at all.

OK I'm now back on cm7. Miui is very good but nothing compared to cm7

[Q] What stable ROM would you recommend?

I recently purchased this 8.9 tablet and extremely surprised how lacking the developer community is, i come from the desire hd and im updating my phone weekly sometimes even faster, but i came here and aokp/cm are apparently buggy and the threads are outdated with some even months old!
Im used to seeing pages go into 1000 pages, but here theres not even 6!
Anyway.... its a surprising change and im skeptical if its worth even rooting at all! Any recommendations?

All the ICS Roms pretty much have the same bugs and will, until the Official Update. I've tried all of them and they're definitely faster and more customizable than stock obviously but if you're looking for a 'fully functional' Rom, either try Overcome (which is a really good HC Rom) or stick with stock for another month or two. I went back to stock, rooted, removed the bloatware and apps that I wouldn't use and I'm pretty happy with that setup until something more stable comes along.

+1 instead of complaining be thankfull of what you have if you cant contribute to anything then just keep that to yourself because that wont help. .

Yes, definitely be thankful. Check out the gtab 7 plus community. Now that's lacking!
Anyhow I'll suggest kallt kaffe's cm9 june 8 build. The latest build I've read has some issues with the device powering itself off. All in all, I've been very impressed by kallt kaffe's cm9 build/ports!

Stock ROM is ok until ICS update. Just flash the motley's kernel, overclock it to 1.4-1.5 ghz and you will be very surprised by the speed of it. Also benchmark scores will increase significantly and touchwiz will be smooth.

Agreed. But instead of stock, I recommend Overcome 3.2.

Used HC stock rom for 2 days and it was very laggy. Went straight to the ICS ROMS which are much better. Didn't test Overcome 3.2 though. Performance between AOKP and CM9 are pretty much the same but CM9 has MUCH better batterylife. Would definitely go for CM9 which is official so you can flash nightlies all week long
