I have had about enough of CyanogenMod. Been using it since 5, and every single version has had significant usability problems. Currently in 7.0.3 photos are bad, GPS is non-functional, it forgets settings like keyboard, and when I first answer the phone no one can hear me.
Terrible. There has got to be something better. If not I'm going to stock.
You can use MIUI ROM
Enomther's
It's not gingerbread but is by far the most stable and the fastest.
There's many ROM on this forum, you are free to use which ever make you happy.
CM7 has been great for me since the first nightly.
Autinhyeu seriously? Like RoDrIgUeZsTyLe, or straight MIUI?
Are most functions stable?
baseballfanz I'm glad you've had such luck. Many of us haven't. I'm looking for feedback of others' experiences on which ROMs seem to work the best. I already know which one I'm not using anymore.

I'd never be able to go stock after i used CM for the first time . It might have some flaws but its the best there is & has no alternative .

Yes, MIUIMOD from Rod
i had use MIUI Stock 4 months ago, then i use CM 7 nightly build, and now, i comeback MIUI with MIUIMOD ROM, after a week use, with some tutorial, i think its best for my phone at the moment, hehe... some user dont want use MIUI, because it like as iOS but i dont care, it gives me comfort & i use it...
With MIUIMOD, you will have more than free Internal memory and RAM memory...
anyway, i saw dont more difference between the CM7 and MIUI, you can choice
With CM all I had to do was wipe and use Amon Ra to flash zip.
There are no instructions with RoDrIgUeZsTyLe except "MIUIMOD D2SD HowTo", which only seems to do with partitioning. Do partitions actually need to be changed, and if so why?
How to apply the ROM and why aren't there instructions?
Also he says, " (Please Read the D2SD HowTo)", but there's no link and a search doesn't turn it up.
MIUI is pretty good
Which one? I've found four so far, including one that seems to have Chinese buttons.

You should definitely go for QND MIUI
Used it from the beginning and I'm loving it. It's stock MIUI with XJ's multilanguage pack, so it's just like MIUI is supposed to be. No junk or ugly themes added
I also get the delayed connection when I answer calls but besides that CM7 is the best there is.Some debate MIUI is better but its a matter of the individuals likes/dislikes. Also the themes and control of customization on CM7 IMO by far surpasses any other rom out there currently so you should prolly stick w/ CM. Hopefully the next stable release fixes the bugs your speaking of
Mouse I've been patient with CM since version 5, and I am fed up.
The good news is I am really digging this MIUIMod. Seems much more modern, smooth, and usable than CM. Have just now gotten things set up so it remains to be seen how well things work, but the camera is sure better and that's a biggie for me.
Takes forever to boot (no big deal) and I am missing my Galaxy wallpaper, but I am:

flash away then and see what one you like the best thats what its all about...i would just use stock miui from either here or miui-dev if you are that finicky about roms
I just have so much to set up that it takes about a day. This is one thing that was so irritating abut CM; in order to correct atrocious usability bugs I'd have to completely reinstall each month and start all over again. I started with Rodriguez today and that's fine so far except for the lack of Galaxy wallpaper. Still have alot to learn about MIUI. Lucky it's Saturday...
You could always to CM6.x if you like CM's features.

So much has been fixed and improved in the latest cyan nightlies over 7.0.3 that you prob should try that out first.
Have you given any of eVilD's sense roms? NXSense and NXSense HD have been working pretty well for me, although nobody can beat MIUI battery life and cuatomuzability
Haven't checked out the Sense ROMs.
MIUI is very nice so far. Desktops rotate like a cube and other nice effects. It's like a 21st century iPhone except without the restrictions, not a 20th century Windows-like CM phone. And I've found the Galaxy wallpaper in the market. My desktops are games|multimedia|default|appts/calendar|utilities. There is no launcher place where all the apps are; all apps are on desktops, but you can put apps inside a folder app which is very handy. Those apps I use are on desktops, those I rarely use are in Apps, Utilities, Multimedia, and Unused folders. No more screenshot app needed; it's Menu:VolDown now.
GPS still has problems, and still some things I haven't figured out. I need to put contacts into folders in the contacts app. With CM I'd put them into one contact and change the label to Custom with their name in it. That is only simulating folders though. Wish there were a better way or an app that could handle folders. Edit: Hey, Contacts has something called Groups, which just may be the ticket! Experimenting.
Does anyone know why DroidWall is no longer in the Market? That is my most valued app to keep out G**gle's prying eyes.

I just saw a couple posts regarding CM6, but I'm running TheOfficial ROM from Enom and I love it. Flashed to CM6 just to give it a shot and I am indifferent on the matter... Maybe someone can provide some input on to why i should use CM6.
Thanks a lot
Zach
Both are very solid roms to use, last few months I've been using enomter's rom and changed a few things on that. CM6 just came out and its been awhile since I used a rom from cyanogen so I flashed it and currently been running that. Also changed a few things, added enomthers, kang o rama wallpapers, changed the phone to galaxy s phone, not sure what else Ive done so far.
Its all personal preference, I loved used enomthers themed version, cm6 has a themed version out as well and its very simliar to enomthers. Detail and very good looking eye candy and both run smooth. As of now I ll stick with cm6 till enmother gets updated reasons are:
Power widget:custom, choose what you want in the bar
power button: reboot, recovery bootloader (really liking this)
dial pad (prefered the custom) did push galax s dial pad on for now
cyanogen mod settings simple to use and like location
battery life is pretty solid as well
Of the two I prefer Cyanogen. But I am running InnovationOS and think it is by far the best.

i may run cyanogen for a bit.
what does InnovationOS do that makes it better?
flash one for a week then switch to the other and see which you prefer. Both roms have so many little things that make each unique it would be much easier for you just try both and see for yourself which is better.

Here is the Enom one, he has said that he will update with a newer Alpha version tonight, best for you to just go with the 2.11.3 stable rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427
just place it on the root of your sd card and (if your using rom manager) select install from sd card(be sure to both backup and wipe) the wipe wont touch your sdcard, only the phones internal memory
Also there is a themed version and a non themed version, ill let you pick
-cheers
I like InnovationOS because it has a sense like feel without all the glut. But it doesn't have all the tweaks of the others.

Yeah, thats another thing with Cyanogen i missed/mow have again was/is apps to sd. There is no way for me to activate apps2sd besides just the normal default way froyo lets you on TheOfficial. Cyanogen lets you go to town with apps2sd in 6.0.0.
I'm not sure how i am liking cyanogenmod 6.0.0 vs TheOfficial. There are a couple things i like and dislike, and a couple things that are the same.
I like the render effects in cm (it has cool renders, not just solid colors)
i DISLIKE ADWLauncher replacing the stock launcher. i have never liked this.
the trackball alerts are about the same.
I dont know. ill post more things as i see them, but i dont know where to be in terms of ROMs. InnovationOS just doesnt sound like my cup of tea
Well, it's just a personal preference... both are amazing ROMs... IMHO, enomther's is rock-stable... cyanogenmod 6 is more bleeding-edge (but super-stable none-the-less)... & you can remove adw launcher quite easily if you wish...

Not exactly sure what any of that meant, but in case you said: You can't use the ext partition apps2sd with Enom, that is incorrect. You certainly can, it's in his custom Spare Parts tool, like all of his other customization items.
I think he meant that for CM. I'm using Micromod now which is enom based.
The only thing that's holding me back from CM is that apps2ext.
My Nexus is not used often, but when it is, my wife uses it for work very intensely (Exchange via Touchdown).
She is currently on Enom 2.14.4... but this has not been updated since around Thanksgiving. It has been great, but a change would be nice. Especially now that the OTA update will not go away.
Curious what your daily driver is.
Also, it seems the internal memory runs out VERY easily. She doesnt have hardly any apps (like 10 maybe), but she gets popups about running out of memory. It appears Touchdown is the culprit (she syncs a lot of data I suppose).
Anyone have a fix for this issue?
Thank you all for your opinions... good or bad.
ROM... Any of the custom CM builds are nice if you don't know how DT's apps2ext works, Miui is nice if you want a sweeping change.
You can try the data2ext mod. It's stable-ish, but you could try the regular apps2ext it would help a bit but I don't know how much save data space touchdown uses. It would be worth it though.
I've been on the Vibrant and G1 mostly. The apps2sd is new/different to me.
I suppose this is a lot different from using Froyo's move the app to sd.... and more like the G1 days where the .apk files were actually running off the sd?
I've reached my "thanks" count... sorry I cant add one for ya right now.
Also, there are a few MIUI, which is preferred? Is it considered as stable as others?
MIUI is vey stable...you can take a look at Rod's over in developemnt (a million others have)
Is MIUI very similar to the stock UI?
I don't want my wife to feel like she needs to learn how to navigate another phone. I've never used MIUI on the Vibrant/G1.

miui is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from stock. It shares quite a few similarities with iOS. Cyanogen Mod is pretty close to stock.
I'm using MicroMod's Gingerbread 2.3 rom. It's one of the newest development and i've been using it as a daily rom, could of never been happier with this. The UI is the same as stock froyo so everything should be the same.
Alright, sounds good... i will check these out but would love more feedback from others just in case. Thank you all.
Plus 1 for MM Gingerbread ROM. I am currently running v.19 and I have it somewhat custom themed for what I want. Battery life seems pretty good. I am normally an Enomther Official user, but as you said, no updates for a while and it has gotten quite stale. I am not one to really bother with nightly builds. And since half of the ROMs in the dev section are a CM nightly build of one kind or another, choices are slim.
Enom for me, it works great and I never have to wonder if there's another bug lurking here or there.
As for the update notification just update the build.prop and that problem goes away. It's in the main thread.
I guess Enom has been busy on the G2.... Don't think I've seen him on Twitter either. No tweets since 12/30.
I would suggest CM6 stable if you truly want only stable rom. You can also use DT A2SD for storage problem. This is very stable, no problem at all. Personally I'm using CM7 for daily use, no big problem, just small things here and there.
Enom's 2.14.4 contains integrated DT Apps2SD support. That should have been your solution for space problems.
And it's my daily stable ROM, too, until GB comes out for Nexus officially.

It seems like her touchdown data is so large it's taking all the system data. Not certain if (a) I can move it, and (b) if that would negatively impact her.

Same for me CM7 has a few loose ends. But its been everyday for me. 6.1 is absolutely STABLE and would be my recommendation for a reliable work phone.
im using CM7 with very little problems. love it
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.

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.

Hey guys,
I have a prob, cauz I dont know, which rom I should choose from the giant amount atm.
My actual FW is Ficeto's Base Rom JVT or so. But it doesnt run like I want it so I'm searchin bout 2 weeks for a good rom. But now there are again some new roms, that were leaked or released.
So should I wait for them, cauz user say, that the rom is much better than JVT?
Do you have a personally prefered Rom you would recommend to me?
I want a nice and smooth experience with my phone without havin to fight with FC's and unfinished Looks :/ And is there a really good way to backup my apps? I did hear somethin about the titanium backup or so, but I dont really know what to do^^
I also thought about switching to CM7 and use TW4.5 cause I really like the surface but otherwise CM7 doesnt have some nice apps, which I like from samsung like the music player and the calendar. :/ But I saw in one of the MIUI-Threads, that someone added the tw-framework to the CM-based rom, but I dont know, if the dev also added some apps from samsung :?

Titanium Backup is exactly what you're looking for. And it's simple: open Titanium Backup, go to the second tab at the top (Backup/Restore), click on any app and then click either Backup or Restore, depending on what you want to do. Also, if you press menu on the main screen, there's an option called "Batch"—and this will, with one click, backup/restore any critera of apps (for example, backup all my user apps, or restore all my system apps). Also, please note that when you're changing firmwares (for example, Samsung to CM7) DO NOT restore the app's data—only restore the app. Otherwise you risks annoying force closes.

I don't mind the apps at all. Plus, there's usually more suitable ones on the market anyways. If you want Samsung apps, simply use Samsung firmware; otherwise, you have plenty of choices. Also, could you link me to the person saying they have Samsung's firmware in a CM-based ROM?
Hope I helped. There's really a lot of options for ROMs. But you'll have to try some for yourself to find out.
Check this thread out here
I think Malcho recently said the best most reliable is Darky 10.2, I would suggest it, i dont remember having force closes, but its worth a try. Being on Ficeto base im sure you are accustomed to their website...
If that doesn't appeal, then i suggest you search for stock roms...

Darky's ROM is like stock with a few tweaks (available all over this board) thrown into it. If it wasn't stable, there would be a problem. I wouldn't really recommend it, but if you're not wanting to stray far from stock, it'd be alright.
@upichie:
I have been using darkys rom since version 5.0 or somethin like that In this time I also tried some roms, like CM7 and docs rom, if I remember correctly. but the performance of Darkys Rom was the best at those good times before.
But after all the new roms released like JVS and JVT the perfomance of the phone was not very good after some time. Well, thats why I want to change my rom.
I also checked this thread out, some time ago.
But I could choose the right one of the roms. Actually I want to have the SGS2 feeling, but Wtf, settings have forced-close, video player doesnt even work.
I thought already about to flash this rom and replace the brocken apps with the sgs1-versions Maybe it would work. But I just do some brainstorming.
The main question about CM7 is:
Does this rom really consume so much energy? Cauz I actually wanna use my phone at least for 2 days without recharging it all the time
@talon:
Well, I'm not registered on darkys site, but I actually visit it sometimes, if I want to check out, of there is a new base rom, which runs smoother than mine. But in the last time there havent been any updates so far :/
So, thanx for the answers, I may will upgrade to CM7 in the next few days Have to take a closer look on the installing instructions Before, it was kinda difficult and just had to many annoying steps to get to your goal
best regards

Well i'm using CM7 and im generally getting approx 2 days out of it, which is more than what i used to get on others... I think it's worth a try, im having some camera trouble, such as if i choose a setting like text, when i try take a picture it force closes. I have not looked into this as it hasn't been a huge issue, so it may only be me.
For CM7 installation, i have the link below which i used. He makes it sound like a huge deal but it isn't really (entertaining for sure! )
Ficeto has released 10.2 RE, that was a few months ago, but i remember reading that there were very few if not zero issues with that. (Not sure if this JVP base rom is after or before..)
I've had my Nexus One for 2 years now and have had a few different ROMs on it. I've been pretty loyal to Cyanogen and used Kangarama for a while which was a Cyanogen base. Currently I'm using CM 7.1 with Intersectraven's kernel and it is fast and smooth. The only thing is, I've grown bored of CM lately.
My wife has a Samsung Vibrant and I've taken her from Simply Honey to CM 7 to ICS Passion and now to MIUI. Each ROM was drastically different than the one before. She loves MIUI now and told me she wants to keep that one for a long time. I messed with it for a while and have to admit that it is pretty cool.
I started thinking: should I go to CM nightlies for a change or should I use MIUI? I have some hangups about MIUI though. I figured yous guys are the ones to ask about this. Is MIUI as customizable as CM 7? Is it as fast? Are the CM 7 nightlies currently stable enough for use as a daily driver? My knowledge of Android is strong enough that I've used nightlies before and understand that there are bugs but is the currently a build where pretty much everything works? Do the nightlies currently have many more new faetures than CM 7.1 or are they a lot the same?
I don't normally ask questions like this but today I figured what the hell? I would just flash and try them out but I use DarkTremor's A2SD and I've never had luck with a new ROM unless I do a Titanium backup, backup my SD to my computer, wipe and repartition my SD card, copy the data back to my FAT partition, flash, reinstall A2SD, then restore from Titanium. That makes the process take a couple of hours for me.
Any info/opinions on the subject would be appreciated and thanx in advance.
For me, nightlies never were an option and will most likely never be. Weeklies at least.
I used to have MIUI.us and it was ok. Fast and everything, but I soon got to realize that MIUI wasn't for me. Too "flashy". I use samuaz's CM7.2 build with IntersectRaven's kernel and it's fast and stable and all that. A little bored with CM7 now but the only reason I use it is while waiting for a stable ICS/CM9 build.

I'll look into that build. Thanx for the fast response.
I'm not pumped for an ICS build until they get the kernel needed for full hardware acceleration. When I put ICS Passion on my wife's Vibrant, it ran well with few FC's but it didn't have full hardware acceleration either and it was pretty darned slow compared to other ROMs I've put on there. That is why I ended up putting MIUI on her phone. She couldn't stand the slowness.

I too will put ICS on hold until it's got all I want in it.
MIUI is very highly "theme-able", though, considering you can mix and match themes as you wish. Let's say you wish to have an ICS lockscreen theme and a completely different SMS theme while having a third dialer theme. No problemo there.

Where do I find samuaz's 7.2? I looked in his github and didn't see it and his website is in another language so I was lost.

Here's his topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416894
But you'll have to put up with downloading it from depositfiles, though ^^
If your using CM7, there is no need to switch to nightlies. There were only a handful released after 7.1 stable was released. If there were any changes, they were minor.
I have tried MIUI, and while it is nice, it isn't for me. While the scrolling between screens is always butter smooth, the menu system often lags, and since it is chinese developed, there are a few things which are in chineese (theme names pulled from the web), and some things don't work to well (like the lyrics and album art function of the music app). I would occasionally get freezes and FC's.
MIUI is a very nice polished ROM with a lot of nice bells ans whistles that make it look really stunning, but it just doesn't seem to always play nice with the android framework.
I too am bored of CM7, and am like everyone else waiting for a decent ICS build. I tried texasice and it works fantastic for the amount of time that has been put into it, but it's not quite up to daily driver status.
If you are interested in trying different ROM's to see which you should use mainly, I highly suggest Boot Manager. It lets you boot different ROM's from your sdcard, so your main ROM is untouched. It doesn't work with ICS yet, but it is an excellent app.

It's suggested you use at least a class 6 sdcard, but I have had few problems with my class 4.
