Hi guys,
i dont really find any related threads..
so i wanna ask you all whether it's better to stay on darky's rom
or change to MIUI?
and how serious is the battery drain problem? does it matter?
how long does the battery last?
MIUI is awesome, i never looked into it at first but im glad i did. I have been on it for weeks and i aint going elsewhere.
Battery is normal. 1-2 days at best.
Also. New updates every friday.
Highly customisable. You wil be amazed at it.
Try it and see. You can always flash back if you dont like it. But i know u will

I agree, I love this ROM, totally different to any other ROM you will have tried, it's like having a new phone. If you can flash your phone successfully and iron out some other niggles you'll get trying to update, you won't go back to another rom again
id say looks great but finding so many many annoying things - though im new today so if i missed something or a fix i apologise way in advance 690odd pages is too much to sift through
keyboard has no working dictionary
auto rotate is bust
themes doesnt seem to change all the time correctly
auto brightness seems to not work too
and keep getting FC now and then in settings
Signal keeps switching off too(only fix is lock/unlock)
besides this and as i say totally new today n maybe i screwed up or missed a fix. its a great looking rom. feels nice
Their are other roms
Rom Kitchen
Look In Developers section .
Darkys is a rom not the holy grail of rom development suggest you try others you can always go back.

miui 1.4.15 works awesome with zachs kernel!
now just wait for the rc5b then it will be even better

Keyboard will be fixed today. download keyboard from market temporarily
auto rotate is fine for many of us, depends on your kernel
majority of themes work perfect, very few of the 1000's of themes dont work 100%
auto brightness, again works well for many of us, check it under the settings menu.
FC in settings is due to the theme being used. as mentioned above
signal issue.... is lock/unlock so hard work ???
anyway rc5b will be released soon and im pretty sure all the above will be fixed. im sure you can appreciate the hard work taken to get this ROM almost perfect. there is no guide for this ROM, as there is for samsung ROMs.
looks like you all appreciate the miui rom
thats good.. i first thought that the battery drain would be a problem, but atm
my darky roms sucks more and i can run it only for one day
what major changes will come with rc5b? i thought of changing to rc5?
does anyone use the miui version? or is everyone on xda version?

well i use the xda version i think - the xda page directs me to 'sourceforge'
as the team translate it to english (its originally chinese)
RC5B will just fix a few bugs that is in the RC5.
you can flash to whichever version you want, just follow the steps carefully.

Buddy, try SpeedMod Kernel with DarkyROM. Trust me, you won't go back.
Even with 3G, Sync, Music & video playbacks, my I9000 has about 60% battery at the end of the day.
& of course, benchmark is about 1.9 to 2k ;-)
MIUI always gave me trouble with constant FCs.I've tried varius versions and not even one was stable.This is the most annoying thing in MIUI there is no stable version,only unstable roms full of regressions.I always end up in stock roms
I should point out that i am an avid flasher and i have the phone for over a year so i know exactly what i am talking about.
I've tried most of miui roms and I won't be going back anytime soon.
1) Theme app not working consistently. Sometimes it hangs and doesnt load anything, other times it just FC's
3) Battery, whatever they say is rank compared to a Samsung rom
4) Laggy browsers. This is was got me really REALLY frustrated.
5) No radio
6) Updated every Friday my arse. Only reason they are updated all the time is because there is so many bugs and ALWAYS something not working lol
7) The whole modification thing is a bit of a fallacy if you ask me. There's only so much you can change. Icons and wallpapers basically and most that are available are crap or just a mashup of other themes mixed with different wallpapers.
I could go on all day
I'm much happier on Samsung based roms.
They work.
You can theme them
Battery is lots better
So I know first hand about the cappy's notorious shutdown issue. My first ever cap was quickly replaced due to this issue. My second one went about six months without a single shutdown. Then I bricked, sent to samsung for repair. They replaced the pba. When I got the phone back, I started running firefly rom. All of a sudden my phone would turn off and I would have to hold down power button for about 30 seconds to get it to turn on, or have to boot to recovery. I had a brand new cappy that I have had froyo and GB based roms on, and same prob. Replaced the new one, we'll c what happens. Question is, am I just really unlucky or are custom roms causing the prob? Is it possible the fix samsung did causes the prob in my old fixed phone? Old phone is a 1010, first new phone was an 1101, and newest phone is an 1102

I have had a phone of 1008 build...it was working fine until I flashed Onix kernel and it started shutting down randomly...so I got it replaced from ATT...now I have 1007 build and not a single problem what so ever...
I am not sure abt the custom rom (as I had flashed almost all roms on that 1008 build phone with Speedmod kernel with no problem), It might be related to kernel, as I experienced in my case..
Seems simple enough.
Flash Rom.....phone experiences shutdowns.
Flash stock......shutdowns continue?

Thanks for the sarcasm. You guys are really COOL. I just asked because sometimes I go several days without an issue. So to flash stock and check, and flash roms and check is a really drawn out process. Thought if I asked for others insight it might help. That's what this forum is for......right? Next time just don't respond.

After flashing and reflashing and voiding my warranty many times over, I've begun to wonder the same thing. I think that some phones are more prone than others to encounter problems when running custom roms due to hardware inconsistencies between individual phones. My phone is a 1006 build and although I've never had a single stability issue with official I897 firmware and I897 source-built roms, when I run I9000-based firmware I notice a few quirks. If I'm running an I9000-based kernel, my rocketflash AC adapter won't charge the phone while it's powered off (ok, I can live with that, just kinda weird). For a while I used existz's Onix kernel and I would always experience sleep deaths and sometimes lock-ups while using the phone when I tried to overclock (even to just 1.2ghz with minimal or no undervolting), and sometimes even when I wasn't overclocking. Now that I'm trying to claw my way onto the 2.3 bandwagon, I'm having trouble finding a rom that doesn't have the charging bug (charges to 100% and then starts draining), though some people say this isn't actually an issue (apparently their hardware behaves differently than mine with the same firmware). So, is it the phone or the roms? Yes.
I had a brand new phone and experienced the shutdowns 2 or 3 times a day. I then flashed firefly and they stopped. I also tried gb and they came back. Now im back on firefly and they stopped again. For me at least the shutdowns are completely rom/kernel dependent. Also I noticed on mosaic the shutdowns happened more frequently on certain kernels.

Thanks for letting me know ur experiences. Just thought it was weird that my phone that worked great for 6 plus months all of a sudden started shutting down after being fixed by samsung. I thought it was a rom, kernel issue. Sucks if firefly is the culprit cuz I like running it on my day to day phone, since I use GB roms on my other phone, and so far call quality sucks with them. Guess I'll try some other kernels with firefly and see how that goes. Thanks again.

good to know. thanks.
Hope u guys flashed the right modems, cuz that has created me some mad restarts on my early flashing days.Was so smart to flash kb1 on a i9000 kernel so go figure,when I tried to get a lock on gps I had neverending resarts.had to take sim out so that I could succesfuly start the rom again.Lesson learnd,read read and then read some more.
After flashing back to cognition I haven't had any shutdown issue... So till he gets newer gb rom I'm sticking with cogn.

OK.guys I have a stock n1 running 2.3.6 but I am tired of the wifi issue my question is if I root does this fix the issue and also what are the benefits of rooting and which is the best method and rom
Thanks in advance
Can't answer for certainty because we don't know if your problem is software or hardware related.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
my wifi keep on droping off when i google it i see its a problem with the n1
hope this helps
I haven't run stock since Froyo came out, but I haven't had any issues with my wifi, so if it is an issue with software, it doesn't seem like it exists in CyanogenMod. But as baseballfanz mentioned, it is too difficult to determine whether your issue is hardware or software. If it is software, it should be fixed. The two most popular custom ROMs are CyanogenMod and MIUI. I know CyanogenMod covers a lot of the additional features on their website, I am not sure about MIUI, but both probably include better perfomance and battery life, along with a ton of extra features.
Never had any WiFi issues myself or heard of anyone else having any with the N1. I suppose you could TRY another rom but I'm not sure if that would work. If you do I would recommend a cyanogenmod simply because theres so many people using that if anyone else has had this issue its probably been reported and solved if it was a software problem. Always worth a hot and if nothing else theres more to do with a rooted phone anyway.
Good luck, hope you'll let us know how you get on.

There are many people reporting Wi-Fi issues on the Nexus One on a stock ROM after the 2.3.6 update. Many threads in this forum, as well as google's support forum...
Root anyway
Too many benefits and too much fun not to--
Full image backups
Better app managemet
Faster Updates
Ability to run Sense roms
Overclocking
etc
etc
ok ok you guys twisted my arm lol i am going to install cm7.1 let you know how this runs
If you are not rooted yet back up phone with an app like MyBackUp Pro and copy sdcard to pc
Include System Wipe as part of wiping phone before flashing new rom
Best Recovery--latest non-beta Amon_Ra
Wiki has good root info--
not worried about apps all free app can download so not going to back up lol
Your Brave
It backs up more than apps--does System/Home Screens/Bookmarks/SMS/MMS/Playlists etc
Def do your sdcard
Good Luck
brave you say lol
its a new phone so i dont have anything i want to keep in it new as in new to me but a used phone
hey guy sorry took long to report i sucessfully rooted my n1 rubbing cm7 are there any good sense roms i could try i really like the sense interface thanks alot
Check in the Nexus One Android Development forum, or look at the Nexus One wiki, which lists more roms as well. I just went to the Development forum myself and did a search for "sense", there's multiple Sense roms in that forum.
Good luck.
I loaded a runnymedemod007 v007 ROM RUNNING GREAT SO FAR

I have had this problem since i have gotten the actual phone. I thought a replacement battery would help but it hasn't. This all happens randomly no matter the charge of my battery and I have read it to be an issue. Do i just need to put my phone back to stock and exchange it? Right now I am running a simple deoxed ota rom with root. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ive had significantly less blackscreens on cm7. Some nightlies i never had a black screen and others every now and then. I usually just insert cable to get out of it
Miui is the only rom I haven't had a blackscreen on which makes sense considering their update schedule is very slow and they havent updated the 2x rom for some time.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
I also get a blackscreen every few days
Any ways around this? Still experiencing the problem :\ Cm nightly 177 & was doing it on another previous nightly too.
BB 405, if that makes a difference.
I had the issue too.
I rooted my device and removed a whole lotta LG Crapware. Had a considerable improvement. Though the BSODs occurred every once in a while.
After that, I flashed HP kernel RC2..
Haven't had any BSOD since then.
So.. I'd suggest getting back to the stock ROM, root it, remove LG Crapware and flash HP RC4 Kernel!
Hope it solves your BSOD issue as well!
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
you could also try topogigi's ROM with HP kernel, i don't have any issues with it and i like that it's stock
awh, I don't feel like going back to LG's crapware (even if Topigigi made it good) I like the stock android look and feel.
I think I'll just suck it up and keep the blackscreens if it means I get to keep cm7 I might try topogigi later and see how good it is, but for now my heart lies with cm7.

You're asking in the wrong place mate, go and talk with some LG representatives or in their forums (if they have).
O2X have ICS already, look for CM9 (CyanogenMod9) and try it, is in beta though not everything works and problems are to be expected.
Finally; dude this is NO freaking yahoo answers, twitter or facebook so stop spamming with threads.
2nd quarter 2012 is the only date given so far.

I ve naively installed cyanogen 9 with ics after going in loops and not being able to find simple information on front camera functions and why it is not working with skype.
welllll, let me put it this way
I would not recommend the above mentioned rom to my worst enemy
the half baked thing may be ok for people who are developing these things but for normal users it is just plainly and simply a big heartache , and apart from few different coloured user interfaces there is nothing that a normal user could call useful or good for everyday operation of the phone.
I lost my contacts at least 10 times in the span of 3 weeks that it is installed,
it restarts randomly, just sitting there on the table and next minute you notice silly blue starting animation twirling around,
video camera does not work,
normal camera works but freezes as soon as you try to install some other camera apps,
gallery freezes from time to time,
default music player does not work, I could only play music from es file explorer,
gps apps do not work or work randomly, you can not rely on them if you go somewhere.
hooking to free wi fi hot spots is a nightmare,
and this is just the start of my problems.
I really cried once after the phone just decided not to work out of the blue showing logo screen and not much else.
So, if you want your phone doing most of the normal things, DO NOT install untested half baked software lingering around.
Install them only if you understand inner workings of android system and can fix things that go wrong daily on the fly, because, I guarantee, things go wrong with this ROM when least expected and when you really need your phone.
Im currently trying to understand or for someone to explain to me how to return to gingerbread version because Im at my wits ends with this cg 9
You have to use NVflash to flash the original ROM from LG.
I'm not really familiar with this forum, so I don't know yet where to find the specific instructions, but just searching for "NVFlash" should give you the right results

thanks for info, I had a look into nvflash and one of senior members on these forums have recommended to be very careful when using it so Ill stay clear from that
and as I learn more about android system Im staring to realise that most of this so called development and upgrading is trial and error and should not be performed or used by everyday smart phone users.
Mu mum has lg p500 which has stock gingerbread upgrade on it and the phone is rock solid , not missing a beat for over a year, everything working perfectly .
I bought my phone because of my mums experience but made a huge mistake by thinking that upgrading android system is as easy and simple as you would upgrade a windows system.
Well its not that complicated - but a little bit more work than upgrading windows.
but in the end you can always restore the original system - like windows
Nvflash is not that complicated if you just read all the steps a couple of times. I have done a nvflash a couple of times and has worked fine for me every time.
