CyanogenMod or Overcome?

In your opinion, which is better, CyanogenMod or Overcome? Currently, I'm running Overcome 2.0, but have often noticed lag when I'm using it, though I'm not sure if this is a problem with the ROM.

Overcome 3.10 it looks good and is fast. I prefer touchwiz to cyanogenmod because of task manager and other samsung apps.
If you want speed go for cyanogenmod, if you want more functionality go for overcome.

No, because cyanogenmod has all bloatware removed so it is faster.

cm7 is fast but missing optimize code for tab , your music player drain 3time more than stock kernel. most video codec need software decoder. These are stopper if you use them frequency.
but things i love in cm7 is theme , i love white notification bar which cannot find in other roms.
you also can redesign auto brightness level to work as it should to be.

I like the cm7 it has alot of customizable stuff ex. The built in theme chooser... I have had cm7 on both mine n my girls phone for a while no problems im waiting for the honeycomb release coming up that should be great when it finished as well

I agree with you, performance are not calculated by numbers of bloatware. Quadrant checks how fast your tab performs when doing integer, float, etc calculations, and also io checks (read, write database), 2D graphics and 3D.
check out my post about this.
if you look for speed, true open source softwares, get cm7
If you look for a balance between battery life and performance and also some stock softwares, get Overcome (if ur ok with ads blocked), the flashing knowledge is a bonus as well (thanks to thepitbull with his extensive howto).
If what you need only undervolt, add koxudaxi kernel to your stock rom.

Quadrant tests kernel, hardware and software. You may have removed bloatware but touchwiz is still there right.

[Q] Stock ROM 2.3.6 VS Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC3 ???

I've had some good and bad experience with some roms, right now i have 2.3.6 ddq8 rom, it's good .. has some pros and cons ... has anyone tried both,, 7.2 rc3 cyanogen and 2.3.6 ??? which is better....??
need to work properly:
- battery
- speed
- camera
- gps

Last KTM Spain Stock rom is better than DQ8 and has lockscreen bugs fixed.
Battery is (from what i've tested) better
Speed ... better
GPS ... good, like DQ8

thnx will try that one...

U will not regret it !

report back in a while ...

Tried them both, still prefer cm7.
I don't care that much about battery life, and the customization is insane. Daily use Apocalypse rom, very stable if you don't overclock it.

You can't really compare them, as they are to different things
CM7:
-Speed
-Themes
-More features
Stock:
- IT JUST WORKS

The cm7 ROMs r not quite speedy now after the release of recent stock ROMs
Btw, i personally think that CM7 ROMs excel at sound quality becoz of the libs, the stock music quality sounds awful

Stock is better for your needs.

Stock (with scripts and different kernel)
- Stable
- Fast
- Good Battery
CM
- Customizable
- Most things work but still has bugs.
- Good battery

Your screenshot shows that you charged phone multiple times and barely managed to get 16 hrs battery life. I have tried more than 30 ROM's and I have not seen a single Cyanogenmod beating Stock ROM's in battery life. I have tried various settings and various apps that could control CPU settings yet CM7 never managed to give me a better battery life.

[Q] CM9 (Fat'n'Creamy) vs. CM10 (JCSullins)

Hi,
I just thought it would be useful to start a thread focused specifically and exclusively on the pluses and minuses of the two great choices we have for our Touchpads.
I suspect a lot of us are sitting with CM9 nightlies and wondering which way to leap...what do people think? What are the benefits and issues with each?
Thanks.

I'd say that is more of a "Pro" than a "Con", in my opinion.

Even without flash support we can still install it and run it with native browser or Firefox.

I was noticing graphics errors with flash on CM10, either low FPS or scrambled looking flash elements. I also got this in other UIs in CM10 randomly. I went back to CM9 since I don't really see the benefit of CM10 at the moment.

I like cm10! Much smoother and faster! Graphics are great! Flash works great in both dolphin and puffin browser! My antutu scores were much better!

What's considered to be the best rom for stability and battery life that is ICS or JB?

[Q] What is the advantage for choosing CM

What has CM for advantage above fw or other rom's?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

A clear difference is speed. No more lags in opening anything which is the major drawback of official jb.

How about battery performance. I now use dxamd1 with cocore 6.8. And I charge once a day in the nightly hours. And use my phone freqently the whole day

Battery is quite good for me. A good start considering the rom is not optimized yet.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

Battery life is amazing, considering cm10.1 is still quite raw. I've just plugged my phone in after 2 days.. 15% battery left. Some whatsapp, some messaging, some browsing, some music... the usual stuff. Wifi on 100% of the time.
So is speed, smooth as butter. The only drawback I was able to find so far is benchmark results... ran antutu and scored 5030 points, while the better stock JB roms are near or at 7000 points. Mind you, if I hadn't run that benchmark, I wouldn't have noticed there was a performance deficiency.. no lags, no hiccups, nothing.
If you don't use video recording, and don't mind turning the volume down then up during a call to solve the low volume problem... then yes, go with CM10.1 as it is right now, it doesn't dissapoint. It can only get better!

So wich cm Rom version comes out best out of the box here. And can i flash it over all fw versions?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

I hope that the issue of video playback is resolved soon!!
That's the only reason I don't try cm10.1
I think it will be fixable, I remember the times when g5 cm9 didn't have hq acceleration

Well, there are a lot of CM10.1 nightlies... Have a look in the archive, I've personally had excellent results with the 20130621 one. Don't flash the latest 20130627 since it's corrupted (it weights 94 MB and a full rom is about 165-170MB)
From what I've read so far, CM10.1 works just fine if flashed over XXLQE firmware, but could have problems if using another one as base. I used polish XXLQE as base and it worked perfectly, apart from the two or three bugs CM10.1 still has.

I think cm 10.1 and pac 23.0 works well with any other base too. I'm using indian ddulp8 and got no issue at all. But better install from fresh stock firmware to avoid any problems.

CM10 Camera insert? Is it possible?

Hey xda dev team I lately installed CM10.1 for my phone as it is unofficial obviously there will be bugs, but now...
It was said the camera is working perfectly however yes taking shots even panorama is indeed working ....
but the most important part... video taking isn't working...
Solutions.....
I tries installing the stock ROMs camera but since it is read and write in the attributes it can not be installed in the system.
So is there an app than I can use for video recording? And if the stock camera is better how do I change the attributes to read only cause all system apps are read only...
Any Help would be of great sentimental value to me

You can't use stock apps on non touch wiz firmwares like cm or any aosp based ROM, camcorder issue is related to the system itself so its useless to switch cameras, the only cameras that work now are the ones that uses software encoding like that Chinese app posted in the apps and themes section

If you like to record at HD and good quality then cm is not for you at this stage, I wouldn't recommend it but yes, it's working:
