[Q] Which rom?

Hello. I'm relatively new to flashing roms (I just recently rooted my phone) and I'm wondering what is the best rom for me. I like sense, but I want to play angry birds. What is a rom that is the least laggy for angry birds?
Also, I see a lot of people who say they use CM6. I assume that is cyanogenmod 6, but I'm unclear whether it is. The one under darchstar's thread? or another one, like aosp's 2.2 or jaybob413's? Which one of those is best (of their stablest release)?
Thank you so much for your time and patience with me

I like & I'm using cm6.1 stable. I've never tried AOSP but I've heard it's faster than & smoother than cyanogen. You don't have to get cm6.1 from a thread here though, you can just go to cyanogenmod.com & download it with the corresponding gapps if you want. I like cm better because it has a lot more customizable options. There are a lot of great themes for you to try out once you get flashing & roms down hope this helps

I tried angry birds on cm and aosp and a few others. I found aosp 2.2 runs angry birds the best by far. However, it is still going to be a little laggy.

Sorry to say but on AOSP you're out of luck because they don't have those options. You can change clock notification status bar & etc. colors on cyanogenmod though which is actually why I prefer it but to each is own Your best bet on AOSP is to find a theme you like & flash it but customizable wise I believe that's as far as you'll get

New MIUI lockscreen on cm7

Is it possible to make the new miui lockscreen flashable just like the miui camera is?

Should be able to. Just try to push it to system/app before you do just to make sure its gonna to work first.

The lockscreen in miui isn't an apk so I don't think it is that easy. I doubt their lockscreens will work on other rom's either.

Oh ok. well I don't know much about miui. Im sure someone could figure it out though

Just use MIUI its better anyway.... Has Iphone, sense3.0, and gingerbread lockscreens without zips to install just go into themes...

I'm pretty sure it's tied into the framework... so, lots of work to do there if you're truly interested, haha. I'd use MIUI but CM7 is just faster and there's a million more, IMO, useful customization features compared to MIUI... pretty much the whole Cyanogenmod Settings tab. The one thing that really bugs me about MIUI is the menu system. It's beautiful, as it replicates that of the iPhone, but it's always been so laggy for me, I can't deal with it.

That's a shame. From the pictures, it looks like a combination between the honeycomb ring/ripple-lock and the sense 3.0 ring-lock. Both of which I like, so the newest miui lockscreen had me all excited. Lol

MIUI is built from open source but the rom itself isn't open source. It simply isn't possible.
MIUI > Vanilla Android

I was a loooooooooong time CM6 and CM7 user. But the latest MIUI is blazing. IMHO it's faster than CM7 in day to day use (I don't benchmark) and more stable.
MIUI has so many hidden subtleties throughout the ROM. Use it for a week and see if you like it

I liked MIUI in the froyo days. It was super stable and smooth. However ever since Gingerbread it's been much laggier across the board and far less stable than the froyo build. Swiping between homescreens is no longer smooth unless you use a hack that disables wallpaper scrolling (miuiandroid build) or keep your homescreens widget free with minimal icons. Of course if you use an alternate launcher then that isn't even a concern. But as mentioned earlier, the menus are also very laggy and annoying to use. I will admit the new dark theme makes it look a dream, but it has a bug that makes screen rotation take a relatively long time to flip and as such less usable.
CM7 may not have the aesthetic superiority that MIUI has but at least everything is smooth and gingerbread. I would love to see the MIUI lockscreen on CM7 but that will never happen.

To all that have a complaint about MIUI - the rotation lag is normally tied to a theme at the moment, I don't get lag anywhere else. Make sure you try your favorite launcher as well - I don't like the one that comes with it but if I swap over to Go launcher everything is nice and smooth again and I can find my stuff!
On the other hand, I have never found a rom other than CM7 with so much raw speed. CM7 will restore all my stuff insanely fast - all others are fairly slow in comparison. But how often do you go restoring everything unless you swap roms daily and are on fresh builds! I have really been enjoying MIUI lately, especially with the new themes and lock screens.
I'd say my favorite thing about MIUI is not having to install a decent camera app everytime. That was kind of annoying with CM7 which is otherwise wonderful as is.

[Q] Pure Breeze Launcher

Quick question for the Captivate folks:
Has anyone tried installing this launcher:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.samsung.smcl.spblauncherlite&feature=search_result
If you have and you were successful, mind sharing the secret? I'm on Mosaic VI with the latest Talon beta kernel.
Thanks

All reports thus far seem to indicate it doesn't open on the captivate, regardless of the rom you're running. I didn't work on mine, either. Its pretty ironic that it installs and runs perfectly on my Atrix, but not my samsung phone.
Personally, I don't like it that much. Its a cool concept, but kinda clunky and its missing a lot of customization features. Launcher pro is still #1 for me.

LauncherPro +1

haven't tried it but the reviews don't look so good.
I still think ADW EX is the best and for a different look and feel Launcher 7 Pro

ADW has catalogue groups in app drawer which is similar to what Pure seems to describe in the video.

Works Fine on Phoenix Unleased.

I extracted it with root explorer and pasted the lib files in system /lib and bin files in system/ bin. I then fixed permissions in recovery and re booted. Worked fine..... I just didn't like it. I'm runnim latest version of miui

It's funny, because I did read the reviews and they weren't so stellar. For me, it's one of those reasons that I flash the heck out of this phone; it gives it something a little different until either there is a new rom to play with, or I can afford new hardware. Oh well; thanks for the feedback guys.

i tried it and it worked but its was laggy and didnt work well :[

It Worked for me when I was on Fasty 2.5, but I found it just boring and not very useful so I killed it of my internal SD.
Sent From My Captivating Shanna, yes I Named My Phone get over it.

Didn't work for me on Apex 9.2 either. Check out Zeam Launcher, smooth as butter, I love it.

works on cognition 5.2, but I'm just going to stick with Go Launcher until someone comes out with something that offers more gesture control.

Works on Mosaic with talon. I don't like it though...go launcher!!!

Worked on CM7
Quickly uninstalled though. Interesting idea but I didn't care for it.

Runs beautifully after installing it over a CM 9 on the WiFi version of the tab without any hiccups at all after a clean installation. Also maybe it's just me but the Beats does not mix well with using an equalizer on the tablet, disabling the equalizer made everything better though, just an observation thanks a lot for this! I'm pretty excited to see more development for my beloved tablet.

You should really post some pics, that will encourage people to try your addon.

I will, but honestly, the most changes are under the hood. Audio, smooth scrolling. Ill do that though as soon as i can

great work dev. if you fix the camera will be the legend.

As soon as a Dev gets a hold of that Official ICS update coming out today in Canada, it won't be long after that.
The wait is almost over!
Look forward to trying this out too!
Thanks,
NHT

that's great, thanks...
hope to see more features soon

So ive flashed this addon with fullwipe. But i cant see or feel any improvement by speed. Any Launcher is stuttering by changing the screens like without your addon. To beats audio i cant check it out now. But i will test it tonight.
Btw. Benchmarks says the same i feel, no really speed improvements. But thx for your try.

The browser should be smoother. I cant fix the launcher stutter. It is for some reason in every ics launcher

Ok. But the same bye the Browser. Also micro stutterting bei ICS Browser and ICS+ Browser, which imho the smoothest Browser now.

I think he did what AOKP ROMs does. More Cache for Scrolling. But i really dont know.

Yes. Increasing cache and one more tweak in build.prop. I'll post it here for everybody as soon as I get to my laptop.

btw where can I find the ASUS wallpapers?

Works on the 3G version?

I had lots of people saying it works so it should.

Yes it works on my 7500.

Care to help your little brother (Galaxy 8.9)? Would love to try that wallpaper with the tree on the hill at night.
