Hi guys, I myself am a G2 user, but months ago I loaded cm7 onto my friends milestone, while he does enjoy it he mentioned to me he has a lot of random reboots/freezes etc. It has cm 7.0.0 on it, I'm assuming it wasn't very stable then.
What I would like to ask is what rom would you all reccomend for speed and features? Myself I'm a huge cm fan, but don't know much about the milestones limits. If someone could confirm the newer ports of cm7 work better? I see 7.1.0.2 is here.
Looking forward to your guys thoughts and advice on the matter.
Cheers!
Edit. Or if there's another rom you'd recomend!

Try MIUI
I am using Miui 1.10.21, built on Gingerbread 2.3.7
Its a superb ROM, except, it is overclocked to 1Ghz.
I will not recommend overclocking as a safe practice.
Except that its smooth, beautiful & works perfect

haha good one, I have a G2 also and using some times the milestone.
I'm running froyomod 2.9.2. In my humble opinion, its kind of slow... I never really use the milestone with the stock rom, so I cant compare. But if I compare with my G2 with unity rom, the moto is slow @ 800 mhz.
But at least froyomod is ultra stable and has a good battery life.
I'll maybe try this week miui, I'll see.

I am using the original from Miui.
It support ota update.
I copied over all the file in init.d from DannyDroid rom.
Everything run smoothly. Memory ~70mb
I really love MIUI too. Fresh install of MIUI is fast but after some time it becomes a little slower than others roms.
Is MIUI gpu accelerated?

I don't face this kind of problem. Is there a lot of background process running?
Normally, i will kill off the facebook, whatapps and other unrelated process when not using them.
Thnx for the help guys, I flashed the latest cm7 kang for him since he was accustomed to cm7 already, since 7.0.0 it has come leaps and bounds, very snappy and he's getting a full 18 hours of heavy usage. He's happy, I'm happy. Thanks for all the input, tho I don't regularly frequent this device forum its great to know it contains helpful users just like my g2/dz forum. Thanx again guys!

even i used vork kernel on CM 7.2.0 RC0 KANG, every single game i played gave me a lag from time to time e.g asphalt6, shadowgun. Reverted back to stock CM kernel using nandroid backup & everything is perfect now no lag & no ****.
Thanks for reply, flashed 7.2 kang rc0, laggy on certain missions, guess its too much for geforce ulp thanks to dedicated shaders.

re;Modern combat 3 stuttering
what rom you on im getting fc one jetpack rom modern combat 3 is not optimised for single core phones try overclocking to 1440 or higher and uv 30mv or higher fiddle with your cpu gpu and ram the idea is to trick the game to think you have a duel-core phone it works fine on f1 rom for me

It's funny you ask. The first time I heard the term "lag" when referring to low FPS (that's frames per second, not first person shooter ) was by my little brother. At that time the definition of lag for me was having communication delay with people when chatting online due to network problems. It was really strange for me listening to him use the term "lag" referring to his PC's power performance. Now it is well spread, even though originally it was meant to mean delay on communications due to network problems!
anyone tried new ICS 4.0.3 ? I`m just curious to hear some opinions

No. Won't work because of the different KGSL drivers (this is the only change anyway).
For what reason did you want to try this?
Till now pretty smooth and rock solid, hardly any fc's.
Only problem i found is the render glitch, which makes browsing and maps and gmail almost unuseable.
So if you need the features like cam and previous stated, i wouldnt recommend it. Remember its an alpha and not a beta or stable

Was interested to try this as I much rather prefer your own aosp Alpha 2.1,rather than the cyanogen mod port.Would be nice to get hw acceleration,but nvm.
Something I am very looking forward though is the 4.0 & sense 3.5 hybrid,especially when we consider we could de-sense it and still have stable,camera working Rom.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
I've been using St.Matt's ICS Alpha build for a couple of weeks now and have enjoyed the ride so far.
With the latest release and the native HW acceleration, I am willing to forego the omission of a camera.
There is the rather annoying Browser rendering issue and a couple of glitches with the graphics sometimes but it works amazingly otherwise.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
I think it works great it is smooth but there are some glitches. but having said that the glitches and not having the ability to use my 8mp dual flash camera..... lol, is not kind of a pain in the butt. so i will be waiting for htc to release the camera kernal so we can fix this bug and begin our journey onto the ICS platform.
This is just my person opinion some others may disagree and say that the camera bug is ok and they are willing to forgo this problem and use it anyways. Me not so much but like i said i am eagerly awaiting the fixes and cant wait to see what the amazing devs can conjure up in there magic pots lol.
hope this helped you.
I agree with the above... but it was nice to give it a test run. koodos dev team

Is it just me or somebody else there who preferes CM7 over ICS and feels CM7 is better, for the time being, than ICS, performancewise and customizationwise.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
CM7 is certainly more customizable for now, but if you're talking about performance and stability, both CM7 and CM9 are still not as good as some of the stock Froyo 2.2.1 roms, mainly due to free ram. With more free ram, the processor doesn't need to constantly close and reopen processes. Nonetheless, I prefer ICS over froyo and CM7 simply because of the many subtle yet important improvements, such as the keyboard and spellcheck, smoother game performance(eg: runs GTA3 with no lags), and the improved user interface.
ICS' only weakness in my point of view is the lousy multitasking, due to low ram on our galaxy s. I can't even open the browser and a simple game like angry birds at the same time without one of them being closed. Multitasking was slightly better on gingerbread and much better on Froyo.
CM7 in my opinion, is not faster than CM9, though it is currently more stable and has fewer bugs. But the huge community support that ICS has currently makes it better for me.
To check the multitasking I opened some apps and without killing them I checked the running processes. They are not shown there but in the cached running processes they are shown. Why?.

CM9 all the way. I'm just surprised how good it is for alpha. Better than 2.3 roms, imo.

Yes, it is... Battery backup of cm7 is better than cm9 that's why I'm back to cm7.

I have never tested cm7. I think if you want to use a custom ROM, you should take ICS.
There isn't only cm9, you can also use something like AOKP (or BLUE LIGHTENING, a AOKP based ROM from BHuvan goyal), it is nearly bug free and very customizable!
If you like the stock ROMs, stay there!
Hi guys. I am currently using temasek's CM7 build 128, which I really enjoy. (awesome speed, awesome battery, looks cool)
However, I was wondering: is there an ICS rom good enough to use it daily? Even with the hardware acceleration -and other- bugs?
Every thread I search the information is messed up, it is impossible to know if the rom is useable or not. Although I really love testing new roms, I don't have all this time avaiable.
Any sugestions?
Hi,
Try owain CM9.

Im using Nova with Horsepower kernel. I have not reflashed it since June 1st and it is still smooth as hell.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
I tried NovaHD and it is really smooth, indeed.
However, apart from the bugs, I noticed 2 things that pissed me off:
1) the battery is warming up fast and stays hot for a long time. I reach 32~34 degrees within 15 minutes of moderate use. (I don't play games)
2) the multitasking feels quite heavy. I no longer can alternate between 3~4 apps instantly, as I could in CM7.
Is it normal from ICS, or will it be fixed when LG/Nvidia release the correct drivers?
thank you for your answers

@cool.guy,
if you haven't tried it yet, give tonyp's PARANOIDANDROID a try as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762494
I either use it or Owain's Domination for my daily use and very happy with both.
Good luck!
Paranoidandroid is also good, like owain's.
However, as I said, nothing compares to cm7. The interface feels much more responsive and light. Running CM9 I can feel the phone using all of its resources and still can't get a decent multitasking.
One of the two senteces below is necessarily true:
1) ICS is too heavy for 512Mb phones; or
2) The lack of hardware acceleration drivers makes the ICS a heavy system.
Agreed?

Why do you believe that? ICS has proven to be a more hardware demander system than GB.
It happened with my old Milestone 1: great phone, but lacked on ram just like optimus. (Considering the launch time).
Result: I had to stay on CM6 if I wanted a decent multitasking. The milestone simply couldn't handle the GB, due to the 256mb ram. So I stayed on froyo and was happy that way.
It seems to be the same situation between GB and ICS.
Please tell me if I am wrong.
Hugs.

I'll leave it as my standard ROM unless something awful will happen, which I'm sure will not : D

tested Nova HD and Paranoid, both is nice and pretty.
1. Nova HD -- Highly customize, can custome your kernel, ril, and Gapp installation, and specially it had LG Optimus UI 3.0
2. Paranoid -- Hybrid system, can exchange your UI to Phone or Tablet and customize each App on the UI mode and DPI
(PS: i like both but i m using Paranoid now)

I'm using Nova HD w/ Nova Kernel Pure Edition right now. With Ramhack (64mb) and autokilling task manager (at turning of the screen) it's freakin slick and runs smooth like a baby ass.
What are the pros/cons, forcing you to use Paranoid instead of Nova HD?
I'm testing the Owain94 rom (domination) with Harsh kernel 2107. I like it, but I have problem with scrolling in some apps. When I use the Dolphin browser and I turn the screen, the app freeze.

Do you really get the decent multitasking as in cm7? After 1 week of using paranoid, I got used to the not-so-good multitask.
When I flashed CM7 back it was like " WTF my phone is flying! I can open the facebook, browser, whatsapp and music player at the same time!"
Do the test. Try cm7 and compares.
