Which rom is more stable for milestone ? - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hi guys am on cyanogenmod 7.1.2 and want to know is there any other rom more stable than this ? ...... How about miui because I love the ui of it ?...Does clockworkmod work with milestone ....................hey how do i change one rom to another , i mean should i flash the .sbf file all again and do all those stuff again ? thank you in advance for your time

clockworkmod should work. just make a back up, wipe caches, and flash.
Miui has an excellent ui but randomly got stuck requiring a battery pull and didnt really work well for most games and google maps. Also, the battery life was terrible. Multiple charges a day terrible.
By far the best and most stable rom ive used is the peter alfonso 2.3.7 aosp rom. Its a blank slate with a really stable kernal. Since i switched to that I havent had a single problem and it runs buttery smooth. Hope that helps.

he is talking about the milestone and not the droid so beware cwm doesn't work use open recovery. Plus you cent change kernels on the milestone because of the locked bootloader.
The most stable ginger ROM I have used so far is cm7. If you want froyo roms you can try cm6 or the froyomod.
Miui is nice and pretty stable but you wont have a lot of free ran to ran heavy applications or multitasking.
If you are changing a ROM remember to wipe data + both of the caches

Thanks for the info, what I meant is now that am running on cm 7 if I want to switch to miui should I flash sbf file again and I don't want to root and do al those mod again ...... sorry am a newbie at this, thanks for your time
Sent from my Milestone using xda premium

If you are already on cm7 all you need is to do all the 3 wipes in openrecovery (data, devalik, cache) and apply the Miui update zip.
You don't need to reflash the sbf.

Well I don't think Milestone kernel can be changed, for it is signed by Motorola.
I remember there was a 2.6.35 kernel when cm6 came out, with some issues. But now I can't find it anymore. It was once kept on cyanogenmod4milestone Google Code page.

Can you give me the link to the rom you mentioned above ( Peter alfonso 2.3.7 aosp )
Thank you !

thats for the droid not the milestone sorry.....

I've found nadblabak's / kabaldan's CM7 to be waaaaay more stable than Motorola's 2.1 - never ever had a crash with CM7, at least weakly with stock. Turned my old Milestone into a completely new phone (I've moved to CM9 pre-alpha now, it's way cooler and not necessarily unstable, but rather incomplete and generally unfinished)

I found out after using froyomod, cm6, cm7, miui, ho no, that ho no is the most stable, featured and fast at the same time. Using 7.1.2, dont know about newer releases
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk

CM7 from Kabaldan works fine to me, and too much pretty with ICS theme.

HoNo
HoNO CM7 is pretty much stable and is fine for everyday use. Am testing the ICS CM9 alpha version right now. Its reasonably good considering its just in the alpha stage now. All thanks to the genius Kabaldan

Why everyone uses the buggy CM7 rom base ?

Hello all,
I have tried EVERY SINGLE ROM on my mini galaxy for the past 4 months.
They only stable rom I found without unwanted FC is the Minimod X final.
It is so hard to find a stable non-stock rom these day while everyone ports the CM7/9 rom and changes it in some way.
Have you thought about that the CM7/9 rom is not STABLE enough to build on it ?
I wish there will be other updated stable roms that does NOT based on the buggy CM7/9 roms

CM9 is in beta stage, not only for our device, but as an OS in general so no question about that. as for CM7, hmmm, it may be buggy for you but not for all. kittenlinux build's and mebitek's builds are pretty stable for me. Also, that is the essence of development, resolve all unwanted bugs.
Thanks for your reply Kitrax. When I'm talking about instability, I mean a FC few times a week in a moderate use of the phone.When you say pretty stable, Can you use the build for a week without a FC ? The only one that stood up to this to me is the Minimod X final......

Yeah, I can use these ROMs without FC for a week. Well, that would depend on the apps that are force closing on your phone.
have you tried MORe rom? it's stable for me...
and about cm7, I think that's because it isn't the final release...
Thanks again kitrax and droid,
I just installed the latest kittenlinux rom, Since kitrax said that it worked quite stable for him (I saw that meibtek's rom has still some gps problem which was fixed in kittenlinux's rom).
I hope that this rom with the latest full Gapps will work as stable as i expect a rom to work.

Of course! It's still on the beta stage!
I think the baseband version you are using do some different effect.
Some baseband isn't good to some custom ROM.
i've been using the CM 7.2 RC1 since yesterday and it is stable up to now.
I've installed all my programs (premotedroid, Circle battery wodget, Extreme alarm clock, 3g watchdog), And up to now it didnt gave me any FC.
Hope it'll keep working stable. Will let you know whats up.
Thank you folks for your help and insights
i like squad's ROM but the CMobile is buggy! Long time no see him to fix this! (on madteam)
talking about stable cm
didn't you tried official cm for tass
I've tried the official CM 7.2 that came out few weeks ago, But didn't found it stable.
Strange, I was using a lot of roms too, and I experienced bugs and fc's only on few of them... maybe You just expecting too much from this little device, especially when you get a lot of fc's even on stock rom...

I like the rom that I can play with, so I'm back to cyanmobile

4.1 JB for Captivate?

Hey guys, just out of curiosity, will we ever get Jellybean ported to the Captivate? If so how long does this process normally take?
Sorry I have no idea how these things work, not being impatient, just wondering.
Thanks
If you want it that bad, the TAJB port for I9000 works fine on our phone with the latest Devil Kernel
It's a slightly long process to get everything(SMS+phone) to work
1: clear dalvik, normal cache, and wipe data
2: flash TAJB .45
3: flash devil Kernel
4: search through thread and flash test modem for phone calls and SMS
5: place the audio_policy.conf from the nexus s port into the system/etc/ folder
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
There's another thread discussing Jelly Bean for Captivate. You might want to check that one. It doesn't have any firm timeframes for any of the ROMs to release a 4.1 version, but it does confirm that they're working on it.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775373, it works fine for me. Only things that do not work - Camera and Sound notifications. Otherwise, it is pretty awesome. :laugh:

Just flashed it using the directions posted.
Can't seem to get my Data to connect. Won't save any apn's I add to it to connect. The phone can locate the appropriate Network Operator (CAN Rogers Wireless Inc.), but data will not connect.Also, when I go to the Data Usage tab, it doesn't show a tab that lets you see Data na dWireless usage like it did in ICS.
Any ideas on how to fix?? JellyBean is wicked smooth for such an ealy release and I'd hate to revert back to CM9 (it was not cooperating with my cappy!)

Same here, just installed it last night and it's smoother than any rom I've EVER used! That project butter google built for jb is crazy smooth
Funny thing guys, Project butter hasn't been incorporated into the kernels yet. The v-sync and timings have to be messed with. So if you think it's smooth now, wait until project butter is actually running

That's ridiculous. I noticed an amazing jump in smoothness from the latest CM9 nightly to the V2 of the Jelly Bean ROM and if it's only gonna get better, I can't wait to see how fast it gets. Still very, very minor bugs that barely affect functionality at all, but man is it fast!
ya i noticed it was crazy smooth as well. but couldn't live w/o camera. so i went back to remics-ux. which is almost identically smooth imo. cant wait util we actually get project butter and a fully functional jb rom

You ought to relook the JB ROMs. I'm using DerTeufel's, and haven't had any problems with any component in the last three releases.
cbalt and dave have stripped down versions of DerTeufel's port, and by all reports, they're worth of being your daily driver, too.

Your english is okay, that text is a bad colour though haha. I suggest either slim ics or cyanogenmod 9 RC2. It is a release candidate so it is VERY stable and fast.
I tried lots of them, SlimICS, SGSICS, MIUI, CM9,and by far DarkyROM was the most stable with the best battery life.

It is strange. There are a lot of very stable custom Roms out there.
I have flashed more than 10 roms in the last 20 months..
In these days I use it with Cm9 RemICS v1.2. w/ the last devil3 kernel.
It is very stable and very less battery consuming on condition that by selecting suitable governor....

[Q] Which is the most stable Custom ROM?

Hi Guys! I am a bit lost here due to the number of ROMS available for this device.
My mom owns this phone, and she would love to get an update for her phone. She currently runs stock, and I was wondering which custom ROM do you think would be most stable.
It doesn't have to be the best. The most important part is the stability of the ROM. My mom is nowhere near techy. She even gets lost in Facebook. So I don't want to complicate things for her during her use. She needs a custom rom with memory managment but stable. ICS would be great and all, but she can stay in Gingerbread if that is the only stable ROM available.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this! Have a great day ahead!
Well if your mom is not all that techie then don't make a leap to a custom rom, the only 100% fully stable rom is the stock one right now. If you want, root the phone for her. If she wants an ICS look install Holo Launcher and get some ICS wallpapers, that is the best you can get to making the phone ICS-like.
But as for your question, the most stable are these:
1. Stocklite v7.1 (Closest thing to stock, but better because it gets rid of the Samsung bloatware.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703094
2. Apocalypse ROM (CM 7.2 based for best perfromance i.e. faster gps locks, better memory optimization etc, but you will take a battery hit, not a lot but battery drain will be higher here)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700749
I've used both of these roms for months on end and they never game me any problems, so you are safe with anyone you choose.
Happy Flashing.
I came across the Apocalypse ROM in my search. It looked promising. Nice to know a confirmation from a user. Thank you very much!
Hopefully I won't have to keep maintaining the phone for her. I am used to having my data backed up and wiped, then restored, but she doesn't like the whole flashing cycle.
Thanks again! I will proceed with the installation tonight.

Most Stable ICS Rom
Hi Pals, which would be the most stable ICS Rom out here.
Please help me, i am new to this forum.
Myth 2 for me hands down + INT2EXT+ = best thing to happen to your Ace.
Thanks for the suggestions guys! I went ahead with apocalypse for now, but when the ICS or JB builds get more stable, I might offer her another update. For now she is really happy with it.
i think for stable custom rom, you can choose :
- apocalypse
- droidace V2
- Miracle V4
but if you want something different, you can choose new MIUIXXX rom, im still using it n i love it..

[q] i9001 - Giving phone away to friend, need stable ROM

Hey guys - I'm about to give my i9001 away having just got a Nexus 4. In the meantime I've been having stability issues with this rom (ivendor cm10.1) - regular shutdowns that require removing and replacing the battery to fix, and various freezing issues.
So I'm looking for a very stable, very polished, simple ROM to put on before I give it away to someone who's a pretty good friend. Something CM based would be grand, and GB based is fine if those are the most stable (and she's used to GB). Any ideas?
After that I guess I'll be signing out of this area - you've all been a great help and I'm sure I would have dumped the phone long ago without you!

Oh, ok . Sorry, wasn't thinking straight, still can't. Sick . But yea, he can also try broodROM GB or ICS if he wants. FOr me JB is stable. but I guess it's diffrent for everybody, I don't use my phone that much now because I'm very busy with school and whatnot. But in the end it's up to him. I would recomend GB anyway, cuz she is use to it, and it is blazing fast.
