[Q] your rom

Tell me please what rom you have on your phone now and what is better in it then in others?

I use CyanogenMod 7 latest nightlies with glitch kernel, whitch allows you to overclock up to 1.6Ghz. Anyway, I have most of the time my phone overclocked to 1.2Ghz. It's really fast even without overclock. I would recommend you replacing the default launcher (ADW) either with ADW EX or Launcher Pro or anything else, because the ADW App Drawer lags (unlike everything else). I didn't like the default camera app, so I downloaded and installed the MIUI one, which BTW supports touch to focus. Also the rom is highly customizable.

Ok, I heard good things about this rom, but i tried it and it wasn't that good, I think that MIUI is better, but I want to hear more opinions

i am using miui!
for me it feels smoother and faster than samsung roms. i rarly have fcs and it feel very different from any other galaxy rom! just try it and judge for yourself, i did try many roms!

I watched some MIUI videos, but for me it looks too iPhone-like. Maybe I'll give it a try some day. BTW MIUI is based on CyanogenMod, so if you experienced some bug, it will be most likely present in MIUI too. Only think I don't like on CM7 is that the button on stock headset doesn't work (AFAIK it did somewhere around build #12), so I have to always put my phone out my pocket, every time I wanna pause the music
Sorry for my bad English

I use SUPERAOSP AW-8.2. OC 1.4GHz very stable & very fast.

im using MIUI MCGv6, so far one of the best eyecandy for me. If you want great battery life and performance go for Darkyy's rom

Thank you, Im using MIUI right now, but I dont like it look, it fast and stable most of the time but the it looks too much like an iphone, I didn't tried superaosp, is it that good? or it sometimes unstable?

now using superAOSP, nice and fast, but I am trying to figure out why it drains the battery. I was on JUWE 4.3.1, fast and battery friendly.

And what about juwe's rom?

CM7, hands down. Idk why anyone uses Samsung ROMs. Yeah there may be a few bugs with CM7 but they get fixed every fews days.

I use Bezke's ROM. He is a Hungarian guy and his ROM's are fantasic and very stable. Absolutely recommended, helpful ROM maker.

What about juwe's rom?

i am currently using miui mcgv5.3. it is highly customizable rom and you can easly switch between themes. also it performs good. bettery life is acceptable has no lag issues.
but if want a rom that is best in everything then you can try darkyrom v10. it is really fast and also very stable.

SuperAOSP. Really fast! But I also like CM7, Miui and GalaxySense... no more samsung pleaaase

[Q] Which ROM.? SURFACE v8.01 or CYANOGENMOD 7

I am using Samsung Galaxy S i9000. I am planning to change my stock ROM[GB 2.3.3] to either CyanogenMod 7 or SURFACE v8.01..??
Which one should I switch to..?? I need better battery life and performance than the stock ROM.

have you tried SAUROM
Hi
Since 2 yrs i am using different roms on my I9000 now I am using SAUROM rom i saw it's one best rom currently no fc's with many options you can try if you can link...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388342

Hi,
I got my Galaxy S since one year now, and after the first month, I discovered the joy of installing roms ;-)
I tried many many roms (probably 80% of the roms here) and my impressions were :
I was very impressed by Surface (stability, battery, smoothness)
but it has been beaten by Cyanogen 7 because of many features brought by CM and making the rom very comfortable to use.
I stayed quite a long time with CM, then I restart trying mods (because I wanted to have a full GSII look, but no GSII looking roms was stable and smooth)
So before coming back to CM7, I decided to try MIUI as it seemed to be as popular as CM7, and I falled in love with MintBerry 5see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350763)
I am completely stuck with it, and does not even want to try ICS roms because I am VERY happy with it for MANY reasons : stability, speed, tons of features, incredible dozen of wonderful themes, and best of all, all updates of the rom/themes/kernels/... are managed with a tool included, so you will not need anymore to play with odin and flash yourself.
Don't rely on the screenshots of the thread, because they don't show the magnificent themes (wood, metal, neon, dark, paper, pencil drawing, ...)
Have fun with the roms anyway, because it is great
And to avoid to loose your apps and have to re-install all of them, I would warmly recommend you to invest in titanium backup pro, because with it, you can backup your data AND the app included, so as soon as you flashed your phone, just "restore all", and after 10 minutes, all your apps are back with all their data and nothing else to re-install ! A pleasure !

Try them both and take your pick. For CM7 I can highly recommend Insanity CM 057 from nitr8 (very light and fast). There is also (CM9) ICS S.U.R.F.A.C.E. v1.1 just released (based on Theamhacksungs Build 11 from Pawitp)
For the better battery life of the two, go with Samsung ROM's like the suggested S.U.R.F.A.C.E. v8.01 (based on Samsung's very latest XXJW1).
happy flashing!

CYANOGENMOD 7 works just fine
---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------
it is you decision both are working realy good

Well to decide its better if u try both i tried cm7 once it great and very fast and now I'm testing surface which is also great and until now it has a very good battery life you can check my video on surface
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmB6L1B3Blk (a like would be appreciated)

For better battery life,dont touch anything related to CM.I think this whole CM thing is hugely overrated.My experience of the CM roms are disappointing to say the least.
I tested so many roms,every time the stock rom with Galaxian kernel beats the custom eye candys.Either way the battery life on SGS is a joke.no matter what rom you are in.I always wondered why people testing the new phones phonedog etc.
are happy if the battery lasts a work day.Thats horrible.Maybe im just used to my 6 year old nokia with original battery can handle a week.With extensive call usage.

This is a question of choice, you cannot compare
If you prefer autonomy, go on with a normal phone, if you prefer features and apps, go on with the smartphones.
Tell to a 4x4 Mercedes user that you prefer your moped for the fuel consumption, same thing, this is not a correct comparison ;-)
Anyway, with normal phone usage, galaxian kernel and surface rom, my battery lasts 3 or 4 days, which I cannot do with stock rom.

only tried cm7 and miui, and i get about 20 hours batt life.
i remember using darky's (10.1 i think) which lasts about 3 days, couldn't say if i used my phone that much back then

Why don't you just flash them and make your own mind up?

I used darky 10.1 for ages and could get most of the week out of it with wifi on with the galaxy live wallpaper. I'm using Surface 1.1se at the moment. I tried Surface 1.2 - the base worked fine but the essentials pack broke my home button and lock screen.

For better battery life, go with Surface v8.03.

darky 10.2 re very good and jetpack v8.2 really good

Whats the best rom for now?

Hey,
at the moment im running nightlies latest version.
But im searching for something more stable, and maby faster.
Its hard to folow witch one is the best there are so many different once.
So Someone who tried most of em? With one is the best
Tnx allready!
Greetings

Hi I'm using Gueste 2.1 (with SR1 kernel, Go Launcher and the ICS theme from the subforum). Overall it's a great ROM, the battery use graph says i'm using it for 4 days (2G, 45min wifi, 25min calls and some photos) with 1 charge . That's insane, i've only managed to get 1.5-2 days with stock. Speed is better than stock, but it is not buttery smooth in Settings menu. I'm waiting for Gueste 2.2 with the new kernel, developer says it will be smoother. Hope i helped!

Well, instead of running cm nightlies you could try CM7.2 kangs those are better than the nightlies and also more stable.

You people that have the option to turn 3g off are lucky my network forces it so if its switched off i lose network coverage, they only allow 2g switch if your not in a 3g zone which is rare so my battery gets eaten in a day.

i agree eith you. cm 7.2 is real stable, but sometimes i got bsod. its real smooth and fast. im not turning off my wifi. battery life is not so good.imho

Hello!
Define best rom!?!
It is last but not least a question of taste.
All the latest ROMs (CM7.2-RC0-KANGs, MIUI 12+, custom roms based on stock source V20m and up) seem to be pretty stable…
All have their pros and cons.
MIUI has a UI concept similar to iOS – if you like that – go for it…
CM7.2 has a more vanilla approach of gingerbread…
…or a stock source based rom (i.e. Gueste2x) with the look and feel of the original LG stuff, but with more speed and less bugs…
All these latest roms will do for everyday use.
I like CM7 most but that is just my cup of tea.

oke peaple tnx for your reactions !

[Q] Should I go for CM10.1 or wait?

I've noticed that alot of people report Bugs from it and battery drain issues so should I wait or go for it?

battery has never been better XD

Some people is correct. For me the battery is so much better than it was on v 20A, not sure how it compares to ICS tho, but definitely better than stock JB.
Overall I really love the stock ANDROID look and feel rather than a skin like Optimus UI or Touchwiz, don't get me wrong Optimus UI is pretty good and functional but I still like google's android look a lot better.
it's just a matter of preference.
Performance wise, its on par with the stock JB rom, cept maybe a bit more lag in the UI since it is an early version. Camera tho is a ton better and unlike LG, CM post updates every night, hence the rom name...Nightly.

I found no critical bugs when using the default kernel. Eternity project kernel gave me some issues. Gaming is slightly worse but as the ROM improves and eternity project completes his kernel its going to be great!

[Discussion] - Best Custom Rom / Kernel

Hello Proud user of LG Optimus 4x HD,
Now that we have '' Unlocked Bootloader '' and our beloved phone is being looked after some '' Great Developers '' let's have a look at the ''Features, Functions and Disabilites'' about all this stuff being Developed around here. This thread is open to all who want to make suggestions or express his/her experience about any Particular Rom / Kernel.
So happy Discussing.
Have a nice Day/Evening.

I'm using the latest cm rom and change from time to time between the werewolf and the ph85 kernel. Everything works fine

I am using the latest official CM10.1 Nightly build and play around it for 3 days. It is really great. Compare it with Stock LG 20B JB. I found
The pros-
1, The speed and response of UI, open up apps, web browsing and etc. improved a lot!!!
2, Less heat is generated
3, A lot better battery life.
4, A lot more control on everything.
5, Officially support FB home and it runs perfectly (You can even download it from the Play store)
6, seems it has better multi-tasking, at least it won't kill too many of the background apps (I have VLC direct running on background, I will always get killed on stock LG rom, but on CM10.1, it will still running while I am doing something else)
7, Better and more pretty UI.
The cons-
1, MHL output is not working correctly. (and it seems it will never work)
2, No custom ringer and notification sound.
3, All volume seems less loud than the stock
4, Media won't scan again while you unplug and plug the SD card back on.
5, Camera has less control and lower performance (HDR run slower that it really wait and take 3 slow shot to compose, no way to shut down the shutter sound, no ISO control and only +/-1 exposure control)
6, Too many option and control on setting, you might not have an idea what it really do....(maybe it is a pros for some ppls, haha)
It is just my opinion during these 3 days. Maybe some of them is just a bug or I just too new to this. Hope you guys don't mind. Even there is a lot of Cons, I think this ROM is very nice. Thanks. =)

Well I'm currently in the process of reverting to v10a. Call me crazy but if you're a gamer it's the fastest rom with 99% of games working great. Since then LG became obsessed with overheating and slowly degraded its performance. Now that I'm unlocked I'm going to see if it's possible to use proper clockworkmod on this rom, if it works maybe someone can port some custom kernel features. JB and cm10.1 are still great though and I plan to continue experimenting with them as more stuff is developed

I have also switched a lot in this last month or so but just in between Stock, CM10,1 and Werewolf Rom.
1. For me stock has the best battery results almost used phone for 40 hours or so still with some battery left and had absolute no problems at all with the baseband issue ( I hope xtribas and others who do have it get over it as soon as possible with the help of good development).
2. CM10.1 is great work and a build of devotion from its developers almost everyday comes a new nightly with some features and tweaks. Runs very smooth and till now have had not many bugs I would say some problem with baseband wakelocks here but not in Stock which I cannot explain why.
3. Werewolf's Rom one of my fellow Countrymen is Fantastic I really appreciate his work, time and efforts. It's an awsome Rom fast, stable almost reliable like stock. It will be best Rom after Stock I guess.
I am not a Gamer so sorry to all Gamers I don't know how is the Gaming Life on this Phone (with all due respect to @non4 and others, I hope you guys get best out of this phone with the help of our Clever Developing Team.) In between I do play games but on my Laptop ( Acer Aspire V3-771G, intel i7-3610QM 2,3 GHz, 16GB RAM, 1,2 TB HDD, NVIDIA Geforce GT 650M )
Happy Discussion Guys

I'm using CM and change kernel from time to time between the werewolf and iodak.

Update: flashing clockworkmod on ICS gives the notorious security error, for it to work the ROM would have to be repacked to a flashable format like zaiben. And the eternity project kernel just got updated, based on feedback I may have to go back to JB already

After next time you revert to v10a (you seem to switch back and forth a lot ), would you mind packing up and uploading the files in /system/lib? I need them, but really would like to avoid having to flash back to v10a/h at the moment. It seems that LG's ICS builds are currently the only builds with properly working MHL and it is likely it has to do with the included tegra libraries.
I am even more interested in these files for v10h (although the relevant files may be the same), if anyone has easy access to them.

Unlikely. v20 performs as well with iodak, and better with kholks kernel

Hi there @non4 can you please explain some main differences between some of the Roms and Kernels you have tried so far, which is good and in which way like battery life, usage, and which is not so good and needs to be looked at? I ask you because I think you have switched around a lot (sorry if I am wrong) and have tested directly from some of the Great Develeopers around.
Just a small submission of your experience would be enough
Thanks

v10a stock: pure speed, awful battery
v20a stock: Better than v10h, but not as fast as v10a
v20a with iodak kernel: Good battery, close to v10a performance
v20a with kholks kernel: Fastest experience but currently too buggy
CM10.1: Faster in some games, but slower in others, battery OK and some nice features
CM10.1 with werewolf kernel: Solves some of the lags at cost of battery
PACMAN: Not a gamers ROM but fun to play around wit
ZAIBEN: Just like stock without the bloat
That enough??

Have you tried the latest CM10.1 nightly? I just flashed it last night and I had no issues with Deep Sleep, Runs very Smooth and Battery Life is Good. Last night I unpluged it at round about 10:30 PM and today Morning at 9 I just lost 2% of battery so I think its not bad 0.2% overnight.
I guess I will try this:
v20a with iodak kernel: Good battery, close to v10a performance
and I am gonna try
Iodaks Kernel with CM10.1
and lets see what comes out. I have a long weekend to play with because Monday is Holiday here in Germany

When I see some optimization to the I/O speed which will hopefully fix the remaining stutters then I will try, I CBA with moving my stuff to the right folders and restoring all my apps . Try its a good combo! Nice core usage and performs like kholks old 3.1.10 alpha

I have flashed the iodak's kernel with latest CM 10.1 Nightly and I must say it's a great Combination from Developers and Battery life is nice as well. Have a look.

Hey Thanks for this Summary... I was waiting for something like this to decide if I go into CM10.1 or Stay in Stock with a Different Kernel :good:

I think best kernel for now is the stock kernel because the custom aren't ready 100%

I have used nightly and iodak's combination for couple of weeks and I am very happy with the using experience. Battery life is much better than stock and gaming is no laggish. Currently I am using Arararagi's unoffical version so I can still use LG's quicknote and Memo which are only things I want to use from the stock. thanks for Arararagi, make me love CM more. Werewolf kernel also great but I found iodak's better for me. Any way you won't regret to move to CM.

Official jb rom and ioak kernel at the moment. I like lg keyboard and the battery drain is less than cm.
