Owain's MIUI tweaks
WajkIUI
Thanks!
I choose MIUI + Owain's and Higgsy's tweaks for the sole reason that I want less bloatware and the ability to choose the tweaks that I need my self. WiUi is also very good especially for those who want les hassle when flashing new builds, and only flash once.
Performance wise they are about the same, because of course, WiUi uses the same tweaks. Maybe there are more minor tweaks, but it's not noticeable enough to make much difference in real life use
Owains for me - not tried WIUI yet but we will see in the future.

Hi. I just wonder about this.
Many times, when a new firmware comes out, after 2-3 days there are custom roms based on it, with tweaks (edited build.prop for example) and other speed mods.
Do they really improve speed? I mean seriously, if someone tests the 3-4 most known stable custom roms, based on same android version, and with the same kernel, also with the same apps on it, will be any noticeable difference in speed?
I see other devs releasing a rom after 3 days, and I can't explain what kind of tweaks could give more speed being stable at the same time.
Maybe custom roms are just modded/themed stock roms, and when there's a speed differenve it's because of the kernel inside.
Just being curious about that (also could make the choice of the rom itself easier...)
Any opinion? From your experience at least.

A mixture of both .

definately a mixture of both. They both make huge improvments over stock. in my opinion anyway
probaby karnel or speed
some costum rome improve your phone speed or karnel speed. especially visuality.

I don't need to improve my phone's karnel speed, it gets enough girls as it is.
However in my experience speed improvement and the smoothness that comes with it are mainly the process of the kernel as that controls the interaction between android and the hardware, where most performance bottlenecks happen. The ROM itself adds functionality, appearence and most important of all...stability.
At least so it appears to me.

I partially agree. I mean, if we assume stock roms are stable, custom roms can;t be more stable.
So, they provide some speed, maybe because there are not so many system apps inside, and mostly they provide some nice mods (visual and functional).
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
Hey guys,
i have a (well very basic) question about CM7. Do i see it right that Sammy ROMs are kind of "optimized" for our luvly Galaxy S or is it kind of the same as CM7?
I read the faqs and know that CM7 is Stock Firmware "adapted" for our nice Galaxy S. But what is better to use - CM7 or Sammy ROMs? Are the Sammy ROms better optimized for the Galaxy than CM7 is ?
I tried using CM7 when it was still fresh and had lot of probs with the signal strengh of my phone (efs backup was done and when i reverted to sammy rom everything was fine).
Thx for ur opinions/answers in advance.
Cheers TOmatoe
Well, CM7 and other roms based on it (MIUI, insanity) have performance advantage over Samsung roms but their battery life is not so good. Some users also report bugs like force closes.
On the other side Samsung roms (especially odexed ones) have good battery life but performance is not like on CM7. Odexed roms are better considering performace.
I use odexed and i am pretty satisfied with it. Both performance and battery life are good.
Hit thanks if this helped
Like the previous poster mentioned, CM7 is largely regarded as a performance-oriented ROM; Samsung ROM's, on the other hand, optimize the phone to generally have the least amount of problems, and also tend to have better battery life. If you're a hardcore techy, love to customize, and just love options to do stuff, then CM7 is for you; if you don't care and just want your phone to work without a hitch, then Samsung it is.
Personally, I'm power-hungry. I've used CM7 for quite awhile now. I'm a little curious as to how much better the battery is on Samsung ROM's currently. I easily manage a full day on CM7, but under a heavy workload, you really start to notice the repeated 1% drops. I should really test out Samsung to see where their battery life currently stands.
I recently made the switch from Samsung ROM (darkys) to CM7 (MIUI) and while in the past I've been let down, I absolutely love this one. Feels much more responsive and not experiencing much less battery life either
i was using zeus 6.39 but now using cm7 based boype's rom .
i have many Q in my mind regarding CM7
1.is every android phone is cm7 based? if not then how to check that?
2. is it have sound problem while in call?coz caller is not listing proper voice of mine?
3.is camera quality is lower than stock camera?
4.what is drowback of cm7 in LOB???
if I'm not mistaken cm7 based builds are Android 2.3.7 and stock based are 2.3.4 and there are equal amounts of drawbacks between the two imho but cm has more customability.... if you want a fully stable rom is best you stay with a rooted stock...
Maybe I'm lucky but I don't face the sound problem.... and camera difference is almost negligible to me, I use the camera alot for work, and found little difference except that its slightly slower when clearing up taken pics but that might also be cos of the modded img size
The only big difference if you're looking on a global scale would be battery life... Zeus, Suppressed and Lemmings roms are excellent in this department, boype mod and cici and mooke has the best battery among all the cm 7 that I've tried.... of course this is just my opinion....
just sayin....
Hello,
Im ćhanging rom every day, bećuase:
-I stay in ĆM10 max 2-3 days, why? This rom looks really good (i mean design), but performanće is bad as hell, and this is reason why i ćhange always this rom, but im baćk only for design,
-GB is good but i don;t know whićh one is better for me
-Froyo i was using 1-3 months, bećuase have the best performance and life battery, and proćentage better (like in 4.1.2 semć overlay)
And there is my problem, how many apps now don;t have support for 2.2? Bećuase i heared "foryo is the best one for our X8, but many apps don't working, bećause froyo is too old and don;t have support for many apps" This is truth or not?
Important for me is multitask and good design.
Thanks for help!
Of course: more and more apps not running on froyo.
Use any gingerbread rom, this will give the best performance/compatibility ratio. The most app run on API level 10 (2.3.3+) and all gb rom give significant better multitasking performance than any "supersmooth" jb rom.
Anyway the choice is your...
Froyo: best performance/multitask, limited app compatibility
Gingerbread: good performance/multitask, good app compatibility (more than 90% of apps running)
ICS/JB: average performance, critical multitask, best app compatibility

Okey i only want to know about apps, so i stay in GB, Thanks for info Pilu!
But now whićh GB ćhoiće. xD
Btw Thanks!
You can choice any gb rom, the performance differences is minimal.
I can suggest only: use clean cm7 rom (minicm7 or gdx) and make your own design with themes/apps.
Try some tweaking method, but better if you NOT combine too much tweaks because mixing of different tweaks can make conflicts and can decrease the performance...
The design is relative, some member like the small, fat, dark haired women, some like the tall, slim, blondes...
(personally I hate the holo design, my wife's xperia ray have much better user interface with gb than my Z with jb...)
I have the same dilema, I've been away from these forums for a long time now since I decided to stop "ROM swapping" and stuck with GingerDX, but even GingerDX is slow when trying to do a simple google search, or any real-world scenario usage.
Actually after a (not very long) google search, I arrived to the conslusion that the vast majority of apps still require Android 2.2 MINIMUM, and those that say otherwise usually require Android 4.0 or higher anyway.
FroyoPro is only not the first option because it's very outdated in terms of stock apps and even libs/kernel support. if Anyone was to update it and make it work on nAa-05 I bet it would be the best ROM on our devices.
GB rom
i think XPeria soul engine is quite good and stable rom .. good for multi tasking and bug free..
design is also good..
and very very light wieght
using with nAa kernel 14 is a good combination.

FroyoPro should update, but anyone haven't permision for thath, unfortunately. Best experinće for me is FroyoPro (good auto brig, life battery, and simple, but a lot of my apps have suppor 2.3+), If 4.1.2 rund in our deviće like GB, my dilema will gone, but unfortunately for me 4+ is only for desing not for daily using

You're free to build up on FroyoPro as long as you make it clear that it's an update on FroyoPro. The latest FroyoPro available is from another developer other than the original already.
