Hi, my question is simple but the answer could be an entire book...
Since we can no longer trust Motorola and their crappy customer care (don't want to waste time to say those things again, all of you know what I'm talking about )
I had a look over the Internet to understand which ROM is suitable for an upgrade, but now I am confused :
there are a lot of ROMs out there, and I don't have time to test each one (more, I have only this phone, if I brick it, or block it due to an unusable ROM I have to fix it asap.).
Is there a fully working unofficial ROM with a better performance than the stock one? (with flash and app2sd?)
I understand that the locked bootloader isn't helping on this, but I'm interested in the full features of my smartphone: if camera doesn't work for example, for me it's a shame (either if everything else works flawless..).
I am root already if that can help...
Thank you in advance

Bro, try shadowmod b3,
I have used froyomod, cm6, hobomod and shadowmod,
I can undoubtedly say that shawdowmod b3 is the best one,
Advantage:
OK battery life, never lag, stable
Disadvantages:
Aggressive autokill
(but would not affect music player, doesn't matter to me)
SMS notification light doesn't work
Sent from my A853 using XDA App
be experimental
its a question of what u personally prefer...
aesthetic appeal,lag,bugs gotta be considered..
i use the beta CM6.1.2 milestone port...
its a lill(very lil) laggy but everythin seems to work flawlessly
plus the cpu is overclocked to 900mhz. which is favourable
try diff roms and choose ... but be sure to make a backup of what u already have
I am using for about two weeks ShadowMod B3 and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Pros :
- fast ;
- ~stable ;
- no battery problems (1d and ~15 hours - moderate use).
Cons :
- can't listen music and play in the same time (player is killed) ;
- some problems with the gallery and with the camera (specially when pressing the camera button) ;
- about ~3 restarts per week (surely the problem is the ROM and not my OC).
BTW , my SMS notification works (green light blinking). :-?
Comparing this to what I've already used (stock Eclair , CM 6.1.2), this is pretty cool, but it would be much nicer is the agressive autokill could be removed.
Thank you for your answers
I saw an outstanding performance of Quadrant on a shadowmodded milestone on Youtube, but I am worried by those bugs: as I can see there are different bugs on different milestones (how is it possible? aren't they sharing the same hardware? )
What do you mean with "Aggressive Autokill"? No multitasking?
while the cons mentioned by Abazel are not reassuring
The little lags on CM are the only issues? I read somewhere that you can no longer mount the SD card via USB and that there are some problems with camera too.
How about random reboots with this ROM?
Thank you again
Pol.
CM 6.1.2 was pretty stable for me but I was a bit laggy (not very much and was ~the single problem I found). ShadowMod b3 it's a bit weird - it works downloading and playing something at the same time but I can't listen to music and play simultaneously - the player is killed => the music starts singing => stops again (thing which could have been done easily under CM 6.1.2). These days I am encountering several problems (restarts or freeze at "Gallery"). I don't know what is the problem. With the SD card i don't have any issues at all... works fine for me. So, if you want improved stability, go for CyanogenMod 6.1.2. If you want a "bumpy ride" , try ShadowMod. ) Have a nice day!
Thank you,
I assume that these are the two best options.
I wonder if CM7 is already stable enough or if it's better to use CM6 since it's already stable.
BTW I believe that ****ijsood is right, I have to be experimental. Just need to find some spare time to waste on this...
Yep, the main problem of shadowmod b3 is the aggressive autokill,
Because of this feature, the phone never lag.
Some think that this autokill is disturbing coz they are used to listening to music and at the same time play game.
But as I never do that, this autokill wouldn't disturb me.....
As this phone has limited ram, there is always a tradeoff....
I am not saying that cm6 is not good. It has the best features and widgets.
But I just cannot stand the laggy feeling
If the Autokill would affect only "heavy" apps like games and music players, maybe it's not so bad.
I think I'll give Shadowmod a try, I can always change again if I find it too buggy.
Thank you for your answers
polengo, or others, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I was wondering if there are any 'improved" ROMS out there now for the MM1.
I recently acquired a Milestone (3-4 months) running Eclair and it's been kind of quirky. Random freezes, random reboots, laggy, when bluetooth or headphone is disconnected the music player starts on its own. Battery life has been quite good stock, with light to moderate use.
Thanks.
Cm7 for me has been the best. I have had one random reboot in the past couple weeks. runs smooth, and the battery life is as good as any other rom ive tried.
Well, right now, I think the best rom around is latest CM7 or HONOmod. Although, you might want to give a try to CM6 or Luca's froyomod, if you need an extra piece of ram. The only drawback with froyo based roms right now is the lack of active development. You have to face that MM1 is an old piece of hardware right now!

The CM9 Alpha runs quiet smooth.
I use it in my daily life.
Trying to install HO!NO! using clockworkmod and keep getting (error 7). I am not seeing this error with other roms. I tried toggling the signature verification and that only pushed the error back a few more seconds. Should I move the file out of openrecovery directory and place it in the nandroid directory and ask Nandroid to perform a backup using the HO!NO! zip file? In other words, should I use your zip as a backup and not as a rom? I look forward to checking your ROM out. The buzz is pretty exciting. Thanks.
**Edit**
My bad, wrong thread. please delete.
I have the 16GB Vodafone UK Galaxy S. Today I was in a city trying to use satnav and it was rank rotten. So I thought I'd see if an upgrade would do it. I was using the very first Froyo that Vodafone came out with - I upgraded to that and hadn't upgraded since. I did have it rooted and 1 click lag fix was on it.
I upgraded to Gingerbread just there, sadly I had to do a factory reset, however it's all working.
I have realised that if I am going to put a custom firmware on it then now is just the right time to do it.
Is there one out there that's stable, and an improvement over the Gingerbread I'm using? Particularly I'd like it to fix the lag (if that still needs fixed) and even better would be fixing GPS/Satnav.
Pinpong blockbuster rom - ticks all your boxes. Get faster fix from market.
Your gps will never be 100% satisfactory in the city, in fact it will probably always be poor - no matter what custom rom you use.

Have you think about CM7? Great Rom, works well on my phone, and add many new things.
Hi Mate, I tried many custom roms and finally settled for
(ROM)GingerCriskeloV77-9LS-CamHack- SIP + NoIncRing I9000/T/M JVP 2.3.4
Cheers
Well, I managed to get it on. Booting up is weird though, it looks for a long time as if the screen is broken, but eventually ti comes on to the Blockbuster lock screen and then everything is fine. It does seem faster - but I'll only really know when I get to one of those situations where I feel the phone is frustratingly slow.
Thanks very much Woolf!
Time allowing I'll give the other roms a shot, although this Blockbuster one does seem to be good enough for me.
Sadly my phone now reboots constantly. it seems to do it when the screen locks

Check you got the installation right for that rom, maybe you had to flash a jvp stock first or some similar omission?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Try flashing to a totally stock JVQ first (with repartition) once you've backed up, then if you don't like that, try a custom ROM. I don't think many JVQ custom ROMs are worth trying if you want a taste of custom ROMs. Better to try CM7 or MIUI for something fast and different.
As a side note, the best tip I've seen for fixing the dreadful GPS we have with the i9000 is to buy a Nexus S or just ANY other phone! Yes, some radios appear better than others, but nobody can prove anything and it's almost all subjective feedback. A drop in the ocean of improvement needed for satisfactory function. If you must use it, a bluetooth GPS receiver and 3rd party navigation app seem the best way to deal with it.
I've now stepped away from Blockbuster. Even doing the a perfect install it crashed often and repeatedly. I did try upgrading to the very latest and that crashed several times in the past hour. Part of the problem was the rom starts with a lockscreen that has a messaging unlock on it, but it isn't set to an app that comes with the rom, so it reboots every time. Sadly that wasn't the only problem, as I was still getting loads of reboots.
So that's out of the way.
I'm now a lot more comfortable using Odin so I'll be able to try other options. I'll try the other two suggested in this thread first of all.
Next to test is CM7.
Thanks for the help folks!
CM7 aborted. Instructions are incorrect, the file they say to download doesn't actually match the instructions so that's out. Plus it clearly states it's not suitable for day to day use... so I don't thnk the time in working out how to fix it is justified since it looks like it wouldn't be useful.
I'm going back to the original question in the thread, to say that I'm looking for something stable. I now think that a custom rom is not the way to go. However some modifications may well be.
Can anyone suggest some kind of lagfix/speedup that isn't a complete overhaul like CM7, Blockbuster etc, that is very stable and that'll make my phone faster?
Edit : Part of what I was doing to install Blockbuster was install Speedmod kernel. So I've gone and put that on, and used the clockwork mod to root it, and also convert to ext4. I think things are looking pretty fast so far. I'm not sure if there's a lagfix for this, but I'm quite comfortable just now footering around - unlike the complete rom I don't feel out of my depth. So I think I'll be ok for now.
Hi guys,
I am really losing it with my girlfriend's P990 (originally vodafon branded on the german o2 network). On stock this phone was a nightmare: random crashes, laggy launcher, random reboots / powerdowns etc made it a completely aweful experiance. So I said: ok this should be an easy fix, just install a custom rom and those problems should be gone. Since then I have tried:
- several Modaco Roms
- latest Euro Open Stock LG update (Smartflash)
- Topoggigi with Service Packs and different kernels
- Gueste2x 2.2 with different kernels
- Gueste2x 3.0 and 3.1 with different kernels
- all sorts of different basebands on the roms mentioned above
While I really appreciate the work the devs are doing and the system works alot faster however none of the roms really fixed the other problems: some lost reception, some had non working / freezing wlan, others had gps problems and there are still random shutdowns when the phone is idle.
Can anyone recommend a rom / baseband / ril combination that just works? It's for my gf's phone so I don't need all the ramhacks, undervolt, overclock, underclock gimmicks, I just want a stable phone working for everyday use which does not shut itself off, she does not even care if it's froyo or gingerbread based.
I was trying to avoid pure cm7, which I use and love on my own phone, because well, I can already hear her complain how everything looks different
Big thanks in advance for your tips and suggestions.
For the simple user, with no UV / OC or any tweaks...and great stability and not matching your CM 7 in appearance(obviously urs and hers should not match mate....cause the BOSS is always different...dont take this serious...just joking)
one of the best ROMs I have used was the Topo's 2 with SP3...BBV20E with matching RIL(use GetRIL). If you want stability....the first thing I can think about is Topo's ROM....many developers themselves will agree on this point...he was a big inspiration for the upcoming devs.
Coming to the point of tweaks...this ROM with Spica's HP SR1 Kernel was one of the best results I ever had....three days of battery perf and almost 99.9% trouble free....dont look for 0.01%....you will probably never find tht.
Coming to the point of freezes....or random reboot...i found this hardly in this ROM....nevertheless, you also need to check the correct BB and matching RIL...which you will find in the relevant thread.
tweaks in this....they dont bother your stability....and still remains one of the best GB ROMs.
If you want more info...maybe u can PM me or add your comments to this thread....
But, a word of caution...you will never be satisfied, with the amount of variety and features the other ROMs offer....u still want more....Have flashed more than 14ROMs in less than 4months.thats how the life of a O2X owner is.....and I am enjoying it

Thank you for your quick reply, and yes I agree on the boss part =)
I had topos rom on her phone (with another baseband though) but I had 2 problems:
on SR1 kernel:
with wifi sleep policy set to never wlan just stopped working after being connected for a while: it still showed the wlan connected + full reception icon in the statusbar but no data went through untill I manually turned it off and on again.
To fix that I switched the kernel on his rom (I cannot remember exactly to which one) which fixed the wlan issues but caused the phone to randomly lose all mobile reception until a manual reboot. Maybe this was caused by a wrong baseband. According to getril baseband and ril were a match though.
Other than that the rom was perfect (especially battery life)...but those 2 issues made it useless for an everyday rom. Especially because both bugs happend several times a day.
BTW: Topo recommends using the LGP990AT-00-V20c-EUR-XX-AUG-02-2011+0_CP.fls baseband, not the 20E you mentioned.
Why are you so sure it's software?
I bought a P990 almost two weeks ago, been giving it some nice usage (GPS, Wifi, 3G, a lot of gaming in the subway) still on stock software and I've had ZERO issues with it.
Why didn't you try to complain to your vendor about your faulty phone and get a new one?
you seem to be one of a lucky few then, because from what I hear from other owners of the phone it really IS a buggy phone. Have you tried to return a phone based on lags and errors which seem to occur randomly...it is not like I can reproduce the shutdown / reboot problems, anyway returning it is not an option anymore.
Mate,
you are right...Topo recommended the BB you have mentioned. But, if you have observed the complete changelog....then you may see the v2.0 with SP3 is made with V20E as the base. Personally, I used this and had no issues until unfortunately Topo's father fell ill and also the other ROMs came in, to give a variety.
Your wifi dropping might be a BB-RIL combo....you need to change the RIL according to region, operator and call quality etc....the app suggests a few RILs(if you have noticed in LG RIL Version or Get RIL app)....
In addition to this, there is also a V20M version made by another developer which alsy was working perfectly good...infact a few pple think that V20M is one good version which was a fix to BSOD and also better battery perf....
I am presently changing quite often between Django and Civato ROMs....and I have no issues with these ROMs. I have tried Gueste 3.1 which is very stable, great perf and fluidity...but the matter of changing to more what I am used to...
There are a great deal of variety and feature packed ROMs in the O2X cabinet and we need to be testing and staying which appeals the best in different terms for our satisfaction.

Every phone has its plus and minus mate....I am proud of O2X not because it was made perfect(surely poor quality by LG) but the developers here are striving to make this a perfect smartphone.....and we are very close to that ....
Just believe and you can make it better....

lol that's what I have been trying and the reason for this post. My problem is that I can flash a new baseband / rom / ril after work and test everything like wifi, gps, mobile internet and reception when I am at home. When everything *seems* to work I give the phone back to my gf hoping it's fine now. When she has the phone over the day and comes back in the evening and reports errors, so I start over again. That makes the whole process pretty tedious and I was hoping for a recipe, maybe from another user on a german network to shorten the whole process. But you already gave me a few tips I will also try next!

I don't know where you're from, but from where I'm from you usually have a two-week no questions asked refund period. And yes, I have tried to return electronic devices based on random problems within this period and usually I don't have any problems. Especially if I'm looking for a replacement for the same phone and not just my money back (I know some people who abuse this two-week period and try almost every phone there is... they almost don't need to buy phones...)
If you're outside this two-week period it might be trickier, I admit. But still I was just trying to be helpful. No matter what we do there will always be products with faulty hardware, and this faulty hardware might cause random lags and errors... if this is your case nothing you do will solve the problem, except for a replacement, that's why I suggested it.
And yes, I do realize I'm lucky. Before I bought the phone I did a lot of reading and I read about the random crashes, and saw people saying that a custom rom usually fixed it, so I was already prepared for this. But I'm not experiencing any of it so I'm happy.
Nonetheless I wish you the best of luck!
Gueste2X v3.1 with Temasek Turbo kernel and 218 BB works great for me.
Best ROM I've ever tried.
Reception drops and Wifi problems can be caused by BB not correctly installed.
No offense intended, but are you sure you did that correctly? Because I've seen manuals for installing BB which are outdated, wrong or just lack important data. I flashed my BB in a wrong way before.
Since you are German:
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_op...-lg_optimus_speed_p990_aktuelle_baseband.html
I am using temasek`s latest KANG-54, its smooth and stable. No problems whatsoever. Oh, and just today i flashed the kernel to ETaNa. Will see how that goes.
Thanatos2x v5.1 -> been using this for a few weeks now, came from Modaco GR5. It's really a very good rom. Fast, stable, not to different from stock LG. I'm using the 725 BB from v20o (with the RIL that came with the rom), tho get ril suggests I get the RIL from v10d NL (since I live in Holland). Haven't tried it since this setup just works great. Reception is good, battery lasts the whole day easily, no reboots or freezes...
After testing several ROMs I decided to use a ROM which won't let me miss a call. I chose MACODO GR6 . It's the most stable ROM I've ever tested. I'm tired of using buggy ROM just for the speed.
thank you guys for your recommendations!
Now I know what to check out next =)
Hey all.
Probably being asked before if so sorry but im very specific with what im after. I have a galaxy ace s5830 unlocked with talk mobile. Still got 3 quaters of a year contract and was wondering a few things.
Im getting a little bored of gingerbread 2.3.3 which is what my phone currently uses and even tho there should be a 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 i cant use the auto update thing as for some reason its not on my carrier yet. I could get 2.3.6 using a guide and stuff but if im going to all the trouble of wiping the phone cos of that i might as well give rooting a go and try a os like cynagen or whatever its called etc. I thought.
Good idea or just stick to what works? Whatever i get if i get it needs to be solid and stable and suitable for everyday life and every day usage.
If its a good idea then some questions on how to go.
1. What would be the most stable and most popular ones to consider, ive had a look but theres so many and im so lost. Something on jellybean maybe i dunno would be nice.
2. Camera wifi and usb connecting to pc for file transfer is a must that must work and work well with hopeful updates for the camera i.e faster way to launch it and touch to focus would be sweet as i dont think i have that on my current 2.3.3 gb. Also video for camera must work great too and keep the updated res that 2.3.3 came with i think or better if thats even possible.
3. Battery life would be nice to improve but tbh i dont have that much of a issue with battery life only thing is is when wifi is on it drains a bit quicker but generally it auto turns off when it goes off in to standby/sleep mode.
4. Able to install stuff ok.
5. Has gps and google voice things and search.
6. Touchwiz i think is what i use and might like to keep that i dunno what all the different ones are or if i like em so shrugs here as to what i want really but im used to touchwiz so..
7. I have backed up my contacts to sim and stuff and on pc and all media like pics and vids so i think im ok to do a rooting and new os unless ive missed somit.
I like the flashing on and off thing of cynogen mod i think its from is that only on that or others? I like that circle that rotates when you touch focus thing i saw in some vid for one of the os mods and turns green when in focus that would be nice to have i think.
Somit thats quick to navigate i.e swiping panels with icons on on the main screens would be cool especially with widgets like news and clock and things on my current 2.3.3 it can be a little slugish but in general is fine, im hoping somit new would make it smooth and very fast regardless of what widgets are on tbh.
I like a nice digital clock thats clean and stuff and shows date time and month etc but in a simple way. I use a sense analogue clock thing i think atm that i found which is nice. But well we will see what the os i get recommended has.
So yeah erm i think thats all i wanted to ask.
So yeah what should i be looking at in particular and maybe if i maybe so bold as to write a little description of what the recommendations are like and whats maybe not working for such ones.
So what new os should i look at and version for a s5830.
Thank you so much.

all roms ave their advantages and disadvantages, android phones only run on android, not a different os, cyanogenmod is android. from my experience i would say cyanogenmod10.1 would be the best for you, only problem with that is, ums doesnt work, but u can use clockworkmod recovery for that(it has the mount usb storage option), clockwork mod has to be installed before u flash any rom. i recomend you try out a few roms you like, and choose from there, and read comments. (IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO FLASH A ROM, DONT TRY RANDOM STUFF, FOLLOW SOME TUTORIALS AND STUFF FIRST)
Hey everyone,
I have a question for you guys since i haven't been around in a long while..
I'm running Temesak 2.6.32.59 on the snappyOC kernel ....yes, i'm still on 2.3.7. (Temesak 135.3)
Since my phone has been acting odd lately (namely falling into Airplane mode by itself... very annoying), i was either going to wipe it and start over or try something different.
What i need to have functional i the Bluetooth for the car, and Wifi tether for when i'm on the road (to my laptop)...
I'm not sure about ICS and above due to the phone's limitations (cpu, ram, etc) I would like something smooth and stable.
....does anyone have any ideas??
THANKS!!
There problems with bluetooth with jb and up. I have no ideas about cm9 but if I am not mistaken all cm9 roms are terrible because there were no ics sources at that time. Maybe a modoified ics stock based rom could fit your needs.
If you want something basic, smooth and stable, then LG stock ICS is good. You can at least expect the basics to be right
If you need root capabilities, then as bitdomo said you can find a stock ICS based custom ROM.
Just wanted to say thanks so far for the great advice!
Maybe i'll try an ICS rom.... any ideas?
I've really grown found of Temesak's GB, has never let me down along with the overclocking and ramhack... did i mention i really like this Rom?
I need something that can be used everyday and has functioning Bluetooth (for my car audio/phone) and Wifi Tethering
Any ideas?
....or i was going to wipe the phone and reinstall Temesak's 135 GB
(what's the best best way to wipe a phone and reinstall, according to you?)
