Hi everybody,
this is my first message in this forum
I have a Galaxy Next (= Mini) with Official Gingerbread 2.3.4, with root.
Now I want make my phone more fluid and faster, but I have no idea of the Rom I will flash.
The most famous are Cyanogenmod (7.1 or 7.2?) and the last Gingerbread (2.3.6).
Can you help me in my decision, even telling me the differences between the two Roms?
P.S: sorry for my bad english...
flash cm7.2.0 RC2 by squadzone its stable fast looks nice + u can use his OC kernel
The gingerbread 2.3.4 is the most fluid that i ever tested, I veer used Cyanogenmod but 2.3.4 is better than 2.3.6 (And the .3.5 SUCKS)
Thanks for your advice, but can you post the differences between Cyanogen and 2.3.4? What has more of Gingerbread?
cyanogen is better it has overclock it has a graphic equalizer, it's more customizable and it's not vendor dependent...it's pure android
Ok, i choose Cyanogen 7.2, but what about RC1/RC2?
CynogenMod7 RC2
For me CM7.0.2 RC2 is the best i've used so far.
Plus 782 OC Kernel
Plus A2SD Darktreamor
Try it. You'll love it

I must flash the kernel and the script via "recovery mode" after installing Cyano7.2, right?
yes. all other kernel and update using recovery (in CWM).
But after flashing the kernel, for changing frequence of the CPU i must use No-Frills CPU Control or the frequence is freezed (at 652,753,782 Mhz)?
yes. use No-Frills. and set it on boot. after reboot, it will set the frequency when it finish loading your home screen

cyanogen have many advantages over stock original firmware like you can have your mobile prerooted,
can change boot animation from cyanogenmod setting ,
can add status bar widget for quick access to data, wifi 2g/3g brightness etc. ,
can add screen on or screen off animation,
can use different types of lock screen,
enable/disable boot animation and sound,
can use 16 bit tranparency,
can set dalvik vm heap size,
can set cpu frequency,
set sdcard cache size
and the most important things
can apply themes
stock rom didnt have all these things

Thanks a lot.
I can't answer in Developement, so i'll post here 2 other questions:
-what are the differences between 7.2 RC1 (Stable) and 7.2 RC2 ?
-What is "swap" partition of the SDcard for?

RC2 has additional CM settings and tweaks not available in RC1. Both are stable enough though, at least for me.
Swap in Linux (Android) is something similar to what paging file is in Windows. Some portions application memory will be reside in swap partition instead of being in RAM. You can google for more info. Anyway it's not something that you must have, so if you're still confused then no need to use swap

I'm now on Emanon V3 (2.3.5, baseband: XXKPI, build number: gingerbread.XWKS7) Can I flash cm7.2.0 RC2 now or do I have to flash gingerbread 2.3.4 back first?
Hey guys am having the same dilemma, am still on stock froyo on my sg mini and am thinking of going gingerbread for now until maybe ice cream sandwich becomes possible and stable. Am torn between going for a stock gingerbread rom and a custom rom (most probable one so far is cyanogen). My main fear with custom roms is the very many minute bugs that turn out to be quite critical that show up later when the rom gets proper testing by the masses which is why I have waited. The main points I am looking for is mainly
*improved battery perfomance for my phone
*get rid of stock apps that came with the phone such as opera 5 (since I use 6.5) and quick office etc
*increase flash capabilities on the phone such as being able to play uefa fantasy football and make suba while browsing on opera mobile. Thus eliminating the need to visit internet cyber cafes here everytime I wanna change something (yeah I love my football)
*As much improved performance when it comes to playing videos such as mkv (yeah I know its a stretch but I will take whatever perfomance I little perfomance boost I can get)
*though not such a big gamer but I would love to be able to play atleast one or two 3d games on my phone every once in a while
*ability to overclock for more performance and underclock processor for battery saving gains when the situation is appreciate such as when its in the pocket and all I need is to receive calls and messages
Is that asking too much ;p ? So with most of that in mind which btw cyanogen stock rom should I focus my attention on? which versions are most stable? Is it worth it? Are all or even some of my needs even reflux realistic hence plausible? Thank you
-just got a 32gb class 10 micro sd card for it hence I never have to worry about loosing my flash disk, just carry my cable ;p feels like christmas already

-For a stable phone i use official 2.3.4 KPI with root acces.
Pro:for official:
-Nice phone call app
-Nice contacts app
-Stable features as sound,wifi,GPS,
Minus for official:
-not many custom features
-low volume of sound
-For tons of custom features use CM7.1 RC1 original by tj_style
-themes
-widgets with quick acces to data on/off etc..
-DSP manager boost your volume.
But in CM7 usual are issue with GPS update position in real time,wifi drop after a wile from some hot-spots,radio difficult to fix.
Personaly i like by far stable 2.3.4 KPI ,but i use CM7 just because i use DSP manager for volume boost ,because i use TTS service with Ivona engine and Voice Notify to read my messages and notifications.

Thats quite an interesting comparison. how would you compare the GUI between the cyanogen rom and stock gingerbread when it comes the contacts,keypad, phone call,messaging apps? I kinda like the swype gestures in my froyo. The gps issue in cyanogen has me worried coz I use gps alot as am in a new city. Once I hook it to the car charger and dashboard mount am able to use it to guide me to drive into unfamiliar places most of the time without fear of getting lost these days so a good and accurate gps lock is essential in my phone.

I didn actually read all the stuff, no time now(maybe later).
But CyanogenMod is the best. Period.
YMMV.
Edit:
ok, only squadzone's cm7 has overclocking and undervolting possibilities...
i use swype beta, default CM UI will not be any special..the best part is the Tmobile theme chooser...so pick a theme of ur liking and done.
tons of customizations are possible...i dont think there is any prob with gps...except in tj's cm7 u need to flash a gps fix.
give it a try and u'll know.
Take your time, i will be here waiting.

Dear all,
In an attempt to organise the discussion, I have noticed that there are several threads aiming at discussing the best ROMS for the Milestone.
Some of us are using Shadowmod, Froyomod, CM7, CM6, Motofrenzy, GOT while some use Stock.
REQUEST 1: Each user, after updating to a new ROM/Nightly should state their ROM here, its version, and describe her/his own experience with the ROM.
REQUEST 2: If you have used more than one ROM, can you post comparisons of your experience with your ROM?
This should help in better understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each ROM and each nightly and even help developers of each ROM work together and exchange tips.
Thanks!
Also: CHECK THIS THREAD for links to ALL ROMS under development

My first post:
I am running Cm6 pre final. I removed facebook and Twitter and some other apps from system, installed them from market and moved them to SD. Not many mods, except heap size is 32, and no app2ext.
Very stable, very occasional reboots. Battery life is as expected, within standard cm6 range. Battery lasts 12 hours average, assuming you USE the phone and keep the display open significantly. Slightly laggy from time to time, but otherwise there is nothing to report except problems with languages that have a right-to-left orientation.
I love the mods. Just downloaded froyomod and considering a test drive for a day.
UPDATE > TESTING FROYOMOD 2.6.1.b
I just installed it, and am using it with basic settings. I only changed libwebcore.so with one that supports basic arabic reading in mail and web.
My general impression is that it is much faster and snappier, less laggy and generally lighter than CM6 Pre Final. Will keep testing it of course, but it generally seems to be a better ROM actually.
COME ON! )) WRITE your own REVIEWS of the ROMS YOU USE!
Best froyo atm is FroyoMOD 2.6.1 once the gps issue is sorted.
Best GB rom is Cronos 1.2.
But i am a stock rom person. I am at present using xt702 with arabic kernel,themed and a few mods by myself.

I have heard people talking about Cronos, but it doesn't seem to be as well-known as CM7. Is it faster or more stable?
I have used both FroyoMod 2.6.0 and CM7 RC4.1(current).
I find that CM7 is VERY polished. I had one reboot and it's been close to two weeks I've had CM7 on my phone.
With FroyoMod, I found that it was not as polished as CM7 and had some bugs, but it definitely seemed better optimized for the Milestone seeing as it's running Froyo.

Hey Saeen! here is not the place for this, but here you go Get libwebcore.so from the official 2.2 Arabic release or that file which has been online somewhere. Navigate to system/lib using root explorer, activate the permissions, paste it there to replace the current one (make a copy of the one there, just in case)., and reboot. You can read it Arabic, but it does not fix Right-to-left issues.
Well, i'am new here and i have an Motorola Milestone. I'am from Brazil so my english is kinda bad, but whatever. I'am running stock 2.2.1 from brasil, and my Milestone runs very smoothy! No FC or reboots for 1 week! Iam running it at 1ghz @62vsel. The brasilian official froyo mix motoblur elements with the original android, so the lockscreen for exemple is the same as the motoblur one, and the keyboard is the same as motoblur, the white keyboard. I'am making a video, when i upload i post it here

Miui 1.2.25
So I have found that MIUI 1.2.25 ROM from lalit79 to work the best for me.
The one thing that brings me back to it every time is its battery/power management plus it's fairly stable performance. Usability is the most important thing and I find its interface easy and speedy. Plus it comes with some great apps.
I have tried using the Gingerbread versions of it and they seem to be improving with each update however it is still lacking in the performance and stability of 1.2.25.
Other mods I have used are ShadowMod, Doshaka's CM6, Cronos and ofcourse the stock motorola.
All of which worked fine. However one problem i found across these roms was memory management. If I was using an intense application like angry birds and then revert back to the Home Screen I would find that all my icons would take a bit of time to load up. Only ROM where this has not happened is MIUI.
Hope my experiences help!
edit: I should also add that I use the old boot.img file in 1.2.25 as I experience random reboots if I do not. This applies to all mods mentioned above.
hey jumbz55, I had the same memory management issue as well with non stock ROM. So far I'm happy after reverting back to Eclair from Froyo, but this MIUI ROM that you mentioned interests me..
What MIUI ROM would you recommend? I'm sure there are many flavours out there. I need one with good memory management and of course care about the battery.

very nice with great memory management,
launcher seldom gets killed,
App2sd works well, the apps can be loaded quickly
Disadvantages:
GPS doesn't work
some demanding 3D games like NFS don't work (immediately get killed)
2.Shadowmod b3, b6
stability:
smoothness:
comments:
The best rom, thanks Edgard
app2sd works perfectly (after rebooting, the apps get loaded within 30s)
After playing 3d games like NFS, apps in apps drawer still need not be loaded again.
No laggy feeling (no kidding~!!!), launcher seldom gets killed but it can be loaded in no time.
3. Cronos gb 1.2
stability:
smoothness:
comments:
If u use app2sd, don't try this rom....
coz the apps reload frequently,
launcher always get killed after surfing internet, not to mention playing any games.
Overall, don't judge a rom's ability by just looking at its popularity in xda....
The most common;y used rom may not be the best one

Hey guys just picked up a g1 for temporary use. I would just like to know which rom has the quickest response time when opening an app(browser, mail, dialer, maps mainly) and has the best battery life. I'm not interested in features, just need it ONLY to read emails and make phone calls and occasional surfing and gps. Should I just stick with stock rom then? Thanks
ADP1 stock rom... not tmobile.
cyanogenmod 5.0 I use is fast .
the android system is 2.1 .
May be you need Froyo by Laszlo? )))
i think frosense v0.9 is much stable and fast
If you want a CM6 ROM FroyobyLalzo, don't use the Kernel that comes with it. Once you flash the ROM flash the latest Ezterry Kernel for Froyo
AOSP Either FroyoMelt, or DreamTeam
CM7 - DietGingerbread
2.1 Biffmod I think :3
Personally I use FBL a lot. The Kernel in it is a hacked on so it has random reboot, so use the latest Ezterry. Then Set the cpu to 480 Max, 128 lowest. Screen off 352 max, 128 lowest. Then set that to interactive.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
i've been using Laszlos' ROM but recently tried DreamTeams. i found out that is features froyo 2.2.2 instead of 2.2.1.
not sure whether or not this causes my problem but since "upgrading" i cant seem to find lot of apps at Market, maybe because of not verified fingerprint or such.
investigating are due. would be happy to use DT ROM because its basod on ASOP not CM and such.
Hi there,
I am new to rooting and flashing etc
I have an LG Optimus 2X
I want to over clock my phone to 1.5GHz
I still have stock rom on froyo 2.2.2
LG-P990
Baseband 1035.21_20110614
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Build number FRG83G
LGE Version LGP990-V10c
I have rooted with super one click.
Can someone please help me? I want to over clock to 1.5GHz and make it fast as possible. Could you please tell me step by step how to do this and what rom to use. I am currently on the stock rom. I have made a back up using rom manager. I have backed up all my apps using Titanium Backup. I may need another method for Nandroid Backup.
I heard that the update to Ginger bread was not good and has a bad camera app not like in 2.2.2. Is the rom and kernel that gives you 2.5GHz e.g. CM 7 going to be a different camera app to the one in froyo?
Thanks
Alright, luckily you have rooted so I don't have to explain that ...
First of all a titanium backup will just do fine so don't worry about that.
Second if you want to overclock you need to flash a custom overclock kernel on your phone. You can find many of those in the dev section of course. There are even custom overclock kernels for stock rom if you rather want to have stock instead of MIUI or CM.
So flashing a kernel goes as follows...
1. Download the kernel (duh.... )
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
4. Flash Kernel
(this will only work for you if you want to flash a custom kernel for stock roms of course)
Then your next question...
Uhm... Yeah, I think it's true that the camera app on Froyo is better than on other roms. At least that's what I've read in the many threads here on XDA.
Hope this helped

WOW!! Thanks for the fast reply!! On other sites I would wait one day for an answer!
I would like to try cm7.1 stable but I am not sure if I would like it and I have never flashed a rom so a bit nervous.
What are you running currently?
Haha, but this is not just some other site this is XDA!
Currently I'm running a CM7.2 KANG + IronKernel with vadonkas Powersave patch. You can find IronKernel in the dev section of course.
If you want to try CM then I think you should also try a. CM7.2 KANG. Those are better than just ordinary CM7.0.1. Note that if you want to try cm, you have to do a full wipe in recovery mode (wipe data, cache, dalvik) but you can always restore your data with titanium backup.
What you also could do in case everything goes wrong (I highly doubt it) is to make a total rom backup from your stock rom so you can always go back to stock. You do this by going to ROM manager and click on backup ROM. To restore the backup you go to recovery and click on restore backup.
Personally I like CM more than any other rom because it's very smooth and has a nice UI. But this of course is just a matter of taste.

Is there really a kernel thaf allows overclocking to 1.5ghz on o2x? Because I only know spica's Horse power kernel did implemented it, but because there are so few devices that can run 1.5ghz stable, it was dropped back to 1.4ghz.
In fact there are many kernels which can run 1.5 Ghz stable. For example IronKernel, VorkKernel and Swiftextreme you can find them all in the dev section.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
You should precise that the above kernels are only for CM7.
On stock ROMs you can use Spica's kernels and FPS dr4go's ones.
On stock ROMs it was decided to get rid of 1.5 as depending of hardware flaws, some had great instability, and no real gain compared to 1408 MHz.
AFAIK, those speeds are not necessary for daily use... You won't gain much subjective smoothness I guess, with a good kernel at stock speed it's very snappy.
But you'll loose battery much more faster. Even 'non Tegra Zone' games are very fluid at stock speed, as most of them have been designed for monocore phones...
The only gain should be if you regularly read MKV HD films.

Oops yeah you're right
A KANG is a CM rom but then developed by some developers outside cyanogen. They use cyanogens source code and improve it to as they want. Often they put new or other things in the rom those are referred as cherry-picks. So a KANG is actually an improved CM stable ROM.

Yes. Flash the ROM in first of my previous answer (Temasek's Kang). Then grab Ironkernel in the kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307).
Vadonka : it's a script you add to any ROM you want, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310272&page=12 .... Search in posts Vadonka's signature, there are links for his script.
You should be aware that cm7 is nothing like stock LG roms. CM7 has original gingerbread looks and feel.
Thank you.

ironkrnL64-20120103h0852.zip
Which one must I get the 32, 96 or 64?

He said "I've not tested those bluetooth stuffs I just added, so don't ask me."
Does this mean bluetooth might not work?

Is the "CM7 kernel only (version: 2.6.32.45) for O2X" one I must use?

Hey again
IronKernel also comes with a ramhack for your phone. So 32, 64 and 96 just means the amount of extra mb ram for your phone.
However note that this ramhack also comes with a prize namely:
32 MB = no reboot possible
64 MB = 1080 p video recording and reboot doesn't work
96 MB = no reboot and no 1080 p/720 p video recording and some heavily textured 3d games might not work. Also for some reason the camera doesn't work either.
More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307
Second question:
It might not work, but you can always try it or just read the replies from other users. They'll inform whether it works or not. However you can assume that it works since it's a fairly recent KANG.
Third Question:
Yep, just flash it right over your IronKernel. You might want to wipe cache and Dalvik first. (at least that's what I did)
Or what you also could do is directly flash vadonkas hybrid on your phone. This contains already the latest IronKernel with patch.
Then your last question:
I'm using Go Launcher and widgetlocker too and yeah it will hide the gingerbread theme definitely if you install other themes for cm and for Go Launcher. Like for example ICS.

I don't need a ram hack.
What is ICS?
All I want to do is use a new good rom that has not bloat ware and stuff to slow it down, over clock to 1.5 and when screen is off under clock to save battery.
Now I don't want to do a ram hack since I don't know what it is or why I need it.
I am now confused. please help.
Bluetooth works since long in CM (that means a couple of month at least lol), but to test A2DP (bluetooth audio pairing to listen music on external devices) you must have... a dedicated device, and probably Temasek doesn't have one.
I don't kown anything in IronKernels, I don't use CM7 anymore.
If you want to try stock without bloat I think Gueste 2X is a good choice. I clearly think 1.5GHz OC is not a critical point to evaluate a ROM/Kernel.
What's gueste 2x??
Hello
I am relatively new to this forum but I have a question anyway. Which is better CyanogenMod 7 or the stock Android 2.1-Update1 on the X8 (E15i)?
Also what are the main differences between CM7 and stock Android 2.1 (e.g. is CM7 faster...)?
And finally can someone provide a link to the best CyanogenMod 7, by best I mean most stable and good features.
Thanks in advance.

Stock Android 2.1 is Eclair.
CM7 or Cyanogen 7 is Gingerbread i.e 2.3
The difference between Eclair and Gingerbread is HUGE !!
Many apps require Android 2.2+ like Voice Search etc , and CM7 serves the purpose.
Thanks to devs like doixanh & HAKA , we got excellent CM7 based ROMS which have functionalities like app2sd , custom animations , acceleration rotation settings , back button for ending calls , notification power widgets , center clock options , change the style of battery icon , signal display , render effects , screen-shots ,a variety of in-built screen-locks , boot animation disable , status bar slide brightness control , bottom status bar and lots more....
To be honest , if you need an absolutely bugless ROM , stay on stock.
If you don't care about the very very minor irrelevant bugs (which have no impact on the working of the phone) , then go for CM7
These are the two most famous Cyanogen 7 based ROMS -->

Thanks, the links you gave me, will they work on my phone (I live in the UK) or will there be network problems. I don't know much about custom ROMs...

The links I gave you will require your phone to be rooted. It doesn't matter where you live.
Here is a guide to help you.

There should be no problems at all. I used almost every ROM on this forum , and to be honest , I do not remember any network problems on them
Thanks for the help guys; really appreciate it.
With the information provided I think I am ready to upgrade (very) soon.
Hi there!
I must say I'm very disappointed with my 2 year old Galaxy S I9000. Reboots, stuck, UI bugs etc.
I tried any possible 2.x.x ROMs (gingerbread). It works fine ~2 months, then start to randomly reboot, lag and etc.
I'm thinking about moving to ICS or JB (??) ROM. Preferably clean ROM from Google with/without 3d party developers modifications (without any samsung crap, or touchwiz or whatever). I though about CM9 but now I read that Slim ICS is better and more stable.
The first thing I need from a phone, is to be a PHONE! i.e. send and receive calls and sms. WiFi and 3G is very important, GPS is very important. Those are the important-mandatory-must-have-must-work things.
Secondary things I want from a phone is to be a decent photo camera (rarely take videos, but not going to give up on this feature), music player, support for external sd card.
Languages does not matter to me, I use English interface. Ability to support RTL languages correctly will be a bonus. Preferably a clean ROM without any forced application (like custom launchers or etc, give me the opportunity to select my launcher please) OR a ROM with pre installed application but with ability to remove them.
Any suggestion to any ROM and kernel combinations will be appreciated!
Thank you a lot!
You can try downloading two roms at a time and put that in your root of sd, so in case 1 fails to qualify you can quickly switch to another rom thru recovery. I'm using aokp for my nexus, maybe its good for galaxy s too.. it depends on personal taste.

Try the latest CM9 stable rom release. Much more reliable than Sammy stock roms imo
I9000 CM10 nightly
I would recommend CM 9.1 as well. It works great and is really stable.
Sent from my Gameboy Color
If you want good battery life, stability and performance, try CM9 Stable, even better is SlimICS. From JB roms CM10 nightly... (also good ICS roms are eg. AOKP, TiramiSlim, RemICS...)
Thanks! I think Ill go with CM9 (with stock CM9 kernel) and as backup option Ill have Slim ICS on sd card.
Other suggestions will be appreciated!

I recommend JB C-RoM BeaN v1.3.4 (the latest v1.3.5 is for release already). All system applications you mentioned above are working fine, super fast and smooth, no lags. Also no Samsung Apps. Google Apps are in a separate Zip file so you can choose to install them or not.
I'm using this RoM now and I can say this is the best RoM I have ever used compared to GB, ICS, and other JB Roms I've flashed.

I would suggest RemICS 1.3.1, combined with Semaphore 1.2.6s....very good battery life, good management of RAM.
Very good for daily usage...
Try this rom. You wont be disappointed. It's Gnexus port, very smooth and stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776738

You can also try SLIM BEAN V2.2 for I9000, it is also very good for daily use with great battery backup.
thanks.

Either Gamerzrom v11 (Gingerbread) or Team nyx rc5 (ics). I'm on gamerzrom v11 and I'm waiting for v12.:laugh:
I would have to submit my vote for Gamerz v11. I have been using it for a really long time and have had no issues. Right now I'm almost at 7 days battery life with data turned off when I don't need it.
