[Q] Which Rom is the stablest and smoothest ...

Hi ....
Perhaps you can help me and say which rom is the stablest and smoothest and fastest for the LG Optimus 2X P990 ... i have tried a lot of roms but they all have bugs ...

The fastest and stablest for me was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032419 and then the 1.5 a version i think but the new version should be fine.
CM7 is also good since it uses less battery but there are some bugs in it still.

I'm a bit of a newbie to the O2X but I've tried a few roms and I've found that the modaco fr15 fear edition is pretty much like stock with a few nice tweaks so it's very stable from what I've seen so far, they've stripped pretty much everything out that you don't need so it's pretty quick too (well very quick).
I've put the over clocking kernel on too and with it over clocked to 1.4 ghz I've got 3976 on Quadrant. But after a while I started to get a few fc's so I put it back down to stock and everything was fine again.
I'm not saying this is what you should do, but I'm just letting you know my experiences with what I've tried so far.....

Also new to this forum. Anyway, I am using Fear r15 and have no problems at all. Very smooth, although I am missing some of my favorite LG Widgets ( Memo and Calendar ) , it is the stability without lags that made me switch to Fear ROM.

I'm on Modaco FR16(beta 4), and it's fast & smooth, and kind to your battery. My only problem is that my Exchange account keeps on disappearing, but it could be my Exchange server.

I'm thinking of going onto this rom cos I have noticed the fast battery drain on fr15... But i have only had the phone for a couple of days and i didn't really get a chance to see what it was like on stock, so I don't know whether its normal.
One thing I did notice was the fact the the music app is constantly running and even my task killer wont stop it. I know I probably dont need a task killer but its habit since I had my G1 many moons ago...

I'm using the CM7 nightlies and am very pleased with them. There are a few bugs and issues to be worked out (eg: no 801.2x support for WiFi), but for the most part, I'm very satisfied.

I only lost 5% in 10 hours with GMail push on .

same here, just try it

@ Zarras.
Thanks a lot. LG Memo and Calendar is up and running.

I'm running CM7 nightly as well. The battery drain is basically non-existence and everything running smoothly. It also has quite a nice collection of customization options. If you can live with a few bugs then it's the rom to go!

Install Battery Calibration, charge to full then calibrate battery
You can also do the same by charging to full then wipe battery stats in recovery.
CM has a full list of APNs if there are some which aren't in use delete them off.
Flash your Radio to 0218, seem to work better than 0405 regarding battery issues. This will be at the expense of some call quality, to me it is worth it.

I am using CM7 at the moment and I have no intention of switching back.

Ive been using CM7 build 20 for some days and there was several things that was missing. It was stabel, but was using a great deal of battery.
So I switched over til BlazingDragon v1.7. This one is working wherey nice. Its based on the stock LG ROM so its only Android 2.2.2. CM7 is ver. 2.3.4.
Now i see that Modaco fr17 is out, but there is so many custom ROM out there so now Im not sure what to.
CM7 is getting better for every built they give out, but its not that good yeat, but Im sure it will be great when RC versjon is ready.

how about WGSPOELSTRA?

Im very happy with the latest madaco. CM is still way to unstable.

[Q] ICS - Onecosmic's or teamhacksung's?

I was wondering, what are the differences between these two ports. I just can't decide wich one to install. Wich one is better in your opinion? Thanks for reply!

Try both and keep the one you prefer

AFAIK, onecosmic's is a port of stock ICS. Team hacksung is an early build of CM9.
The CM9 version has more customizations. Toggles in the notification panel for instance.
I flashed build 11 on Saturday and then build 12 yesterday. 11 had some fc's but so far none on 12. Pretty smooth and most important things are working just fine.
The little things can be solved just by searching the thread in the dev forum.
It was a little finicky to flash the first time but just doing a straight flash to build 12 went without a hitch.

I find the stock one (Onecosmic) smoother.

Onecosmic for me, although I didn't try other one so I should not say but what I have been using is good stuff

Teamhacksung's!

I think onecosmic's is smoother because it has no customization. I have tried both and keep switching between the two. Wifi does not work for me on onecosmic. Teamhacksung b12 is pretty smooth and has the notification toggle which I love so much
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

Teamhacksung! i'm using it and it's fabulous!
I think it's the best ICS ROM for the moment! (BUILD 12)

MyICS beta is just a modded Teamhacksung or is it another thing?

Teamhacksung looks like more modified ROM, because it based on CM. Onecosmic is more smooth so based on Stock ICS, but have an USB issue (as you can see on therad) however this is not a big deal so, you can easyle solve it.
But! If you using Simtoolkit based service, such as login to bank account via your mobile phone, mobile signature etc. you must away from Teamhacksung, so this ROM can't work with simtoolkit service like all of other CM ROM!!! And as i see developers don't interest this issue (i think they don't use it and so can't see this problem)...
In this time my perefer Onecosmic!

You can try to use JVT modem.. Infact i don't have any problem for wifi and other radio based features. But i know this issue, and this can be fixed with JVT (or any other nice modem).

I was using Teamhacksung on JVT rom.. But there was a problem - bugs regression. Also there is a huge list of `Known Issues`.
After using build 12 I have decided to get Onecosmic`s rom - and everything is just great ! It's smooth, no battery drains, etc.
RC 2.11 is just awesome and I`ll stay with this one.

Never tried teamhacksung's rom yet but i am pretty satisfied now with onecosmics port. its smooth and almost perfect and battery drain isn't a problem for me after 2 cycles of discharging and charging.

Teamhacksung great
Hi I tried already some of the ICS version but until now I''m preferring Teamhacksungs (build 12).
Works great, just 1 or 2 apps gives a restart when changing inside the app. Only negative here is the app ZDBox, the shortcut for on/off 3G doesn''t work.

Onecosmic's FTW! I'm a pure Android guy.

Onecosmics
NO force closes everything works
and great battery life i think it will last a week too like my jvt 2.3.6
also more brighness settings it can go darker then stock rom
and i think battery use is even better then stock 2.3.6
overall quicker then stock 2.3.6 especialy in games

i think Teamhacksung's port suits me...

I tried Onecosmic's release, and found it to have terrible battery life after 4 cycles. Was charging it twice a day to full, with only moderate use. Can expect this though from such an early development in a ROM.

onecosmic 2.11RC
i am currently on onecosmic RC2.11, earlier i was on teamhacksung 11, onecosmic RC1, 2.3.6 JW1...
The fixed issues are better in onecosmic thread, have not tested teamhacksung 12 ROM. The calender sync to facebook etc is still there in onecosmic.
the battery life was horrible, drained 35% with data and wifi off in wednesday night. but it was only 4% last night (thursday).
Had hiccups in playing angry birds seasons in JW1 ROM, but not much in onecosmic so far.
Would like to have notification toggle and %battery in status bar...
THANKS both the supermods for such wonderful ROMs of ICS for SGS.

I use the RC 2.1.5 version of MyICS. Although it still needs some fiddling arround to get everything to work I now believe it has come to a state that makes it very usable for day-2-day use indeed. I know for a fact that I'd definitely not want to go back to 2.3.x anymore.
The only thing I really don't like about it is the dodgy baked in Chinese launcher, but off course you can replace it. (It took me quite some effort to remove it though.)
The kernel that comes with it (NEO) seems stable and after 2 days I've not yet come across any stuff that's not working.

I've been using onecosmics and it's been pretty good, as mentioned it does have a couple of mounting issues.

Which ROM to install?

Hello,
I have my A853 Milestone for about a year and a half.
Currently I have the HO!NO! Cyanogen mod installed on it.
The problem is that the device is very slow, it always crash and games are super laggy (like Angry Birds) or it crashes (like Draw Something).
Which ROM should I install?
I want it to be stable, quick and run games like it should run them.
Thanks

I've had my OG droid for over two years, and I think I've tried every possible ROM there is. The Gingerbread ROM are nice, but they lag really badly on the device. It doesn't have the CPU or memory to handle it well enough. You could do it, but things like the camera and games will almost always end up bogging the device to unresponsive.
I've had the best luck with Liquid Frozen Yogurt 1.95. It s a 2.2.1 ROM (Froyo) and it is really smooth. The camera actually works which is a problem for most of the GB ROMs. Bugless Beast is also a good ROM.

Nothing I did could get the gb roms to run smoothly. The OG droids just don't have the ram.

I installed TheFroyoMod 2.9.3 and now the device is much better.
It runs smoothly, Draw Something actually works (pretty smooth), it's stable and I recommand you to install it too.
It makes sense because the device officially support 2.2 and not 2.3, it has resources for 2.2 but not enough for 2.3

Rom
I play zenonia in froyo mod with minimal lags. I think it is the best rom for gaming.

I liked cm6 for battery but cm9 was running really good on mine

What's wrong with CM 7.2.0 RC1 by kabaldan? I'm planing to install it on my 2.2 stock ROM but retain the 600mhz frequency for battery life reason. Would I suffer worse performance than my current stock?
thanks

I'm in the same boat as the OP.
I am setting up my friend's OG Droid and I'm curious the best ROM.
I have to say I'm pretty happy with CM 7.1 stable release so far. It works great so far and I haven't noticed any problems. The camera seems fine.
Is GB really that bad?
I did try CM 7.2 experimental build (from CM download page) and it was working great until I noticed that the flashlight app, torch wouldn't work. I really wanted it to work in the Power Widget. After screwing around with it for quite a while, I ended reflashing back to CM7.1 stable.
Assuming games won't be games played on the device, I think that CM7 is the way to go unless there are more RAM-hogging apps running. I'm a newb to the OG Droid though.
*EDIT*
P.S. Do you guys have a favorite recovery? I am using CWM 2.5.0.1. The weird thing is it doesn't display Dalvik as wiped when I wipe Dalvik Cache. I dunno if it is a problem or not. I actually searched around a fair bit. What is the best recovery for the OG Droid? Stability, nandroids, and functionality are key. I don't care about touch interface.
Thanks. Feel free to flame me if I am overlooking this info.

recovery i use minimod, hava any scripts (supercharge), unistall system apps, backup apps and have a script to wipe a ext partition.
I used all roms for milestone and cm6 (or shadowmod discontinued a long time ago ) is the best, the only one it works fine, another roms always have a problem with performance (i don't play in my phone).

I have been runnning a rooted overclocked (800mhz) stock rom for ages, but still had issues with it freezing when surfing and quitting apps.
Yesterday I finally got round to changing to CM 7.2.0 RC1. Performance is so much better, more options, smoother scrolling, but the battery life is worse. I had to charge it twice today which is usually a rare occurance. So I have knocked it back down to 800mhz again from 1ghz, setup the 2g toggle, and made a few other tweeks. Will see how that does for now, but if not then will look into battery calibration.
I rarely use my phone for gaming, so couldn't comment on the performance, but if its anything like what I experienced elsewhere you should be happy. Slightly earlier builds have been mentioned to have a better battery life too.
Hope that helps

Best ROM on the Milestone right now? MIUI 2.4.20 hands down.
Damn... new users can't post outside link but Google it.
And btw, it seems that the ROM was designed for Chinese Milestone so the physical keyboard layout is kinda messed up if you use Europe or HK milestone. And since I don't use the physical keyboard at all so it's not a huge problem. But seriously, this is the best damn thing you can put on a Milestone, try it out
Cheers

While it will probably work better than a stock ROM, I'd suggest you try a Froyo based ROM. The biggest issue with GB on a Milestone is the RAM. I tried out every single workaround I came across for over a year, only to end up going back to CM6 (vikasbn's version).

That's the one I'm currently using and so far it's worked like charm. It's also the only one that seems to be updated.

Hello everyone,
I have an A853 (Milestone). I am looking for advice on what SBF and ROM to install, and how to optimize the performance.
I hope it is ok for me to join this thread (instead of opening a new one). Below are my concerns; I am looking forward to advice from experienced forum members (reading from your posts, you definitively are experienced):
1. underlying firmware (OS)
If I understand correctly, due to the locked bootloader I can only change which kernel I will be running by flashing a different SBF file:
- SHOLS_U2_02.31.0 (I believe this is stock Eclair?)
- SHOLS_U2_05.26.3 (and this should be stock Froyo?)
Which SBF should I flash my phone with, so that the ROM I will later choose will work best? Of course, I'll apply a vulnerable SBF afterwards.
2. ROM
I am most keen on MIUI (the latest and final build for this device is 2.4.20?), since I was using it before and I really like its user interface. However, I experienced some problems with it (unresponsive/laggy, not receiving SMS messages after some time, etc.).
Is the MIUI-derivate NIMIUI any better? Moreover, I saw there is another ''chef'' quynhnt that is further developing NIMIUI but I see user responses that it is kind of buggy?
I've tried FroyoMOD which seemed the fastest to me (although I would be really missing MIUI features), however it did not let me connect to my home WiFi (WPA2+AES+Radius) so I let it go.
ICS seems kind of no-go to me because Milestone only has 256MB of RAM (which is very little); I've tried the unofficial alpha CM9 and although everything worked, it was just too laggy. I believe the unofficial MIUI v4 would be the same.
Any suggestions? I am leaning towards official MIUI but with thorough testing of incoming SMS (I can't afford not to receive them) and additional optimizations that are decribed below. Or am I missing something?
3. optimizations
SuperCharger
Definitively I would like to use the SuperCharger V6 (or is it V8 - any differences?). Which settings profile should I select based on the following demands:
- I don't play games on my phone
- I want a responsive phone with no lag
- The most demanding app I use is Exchange sync (6 accounts), nothing more
Build.prop modifications?
Should I take care of anything here? Maybe change the Dalvik heap size (to what?)
ext3 on sdcard
Can this somehow help me? I have prepared a functioning ext3 partition on my sd, I just don't know if it is possible to somehow manage a swapfile on it and if this should help my phone being less laggy? Can MIUI handle this out-of-the-box?
I kindly thank to anyone who would be willing to help me with advice.
Best regards, d11

I got an OG Droid i use for multimedia... The screen is crystal clear with LIquid Smooth... the launcher sometimes gets buggy but everything works including torch etc... It basically made an old system useful again. I'll try out other system and post my results... Froyo versions first and so on...

LG Optimus 2x p990 with ICS

Hello everyone,
Just a quick question. Maybe someone tried all of our beloved ICS roms and kernels? If yes, could you please share your experience with them? I would be grateful! Testing requires tons of time .. which i do not have much.
Currently on CM9 Owain 79 build with Jarvis v7 kernel with apex launcher, OC 14** mhz. Well battery life is enough for me, actually is great (3days of light usage), just feeling some latency. Any tips (don't use that, use that, etc..)?
P.s. I know all the builds are great and all the combos are great for someone and for someone not, because of ridiculous angle of different p990 region devices. Just share your experience if you have tried and find something great! Thank you!

First of all, since hardware acceleration isn't present as well as the other drivers for ICS on our phone, you won't get it as fluid as Gingerbread was.
What you can do however is to test Owain's rom without Jarvis kernel as i've noticed that the Jarves kernel doesn't get rid of any UI lag at all.
Secondly, if what LG's facebook page says is true, we'll get an official ICS build somewhere in Q3 meaning pretty soon.. Now i know LG hasn't kept it's word before... but hey if this is true, your problem will be solved soon enough.
If you really want your phone to be nearly lag free, i'd suggest switching back to CM7-based ROMs for a while.

I tried nova hd. Perfectly developed I think. It has very few bugs and incredibly fast. Try it with lightning speed kernel.

Running MIUIv4 (bihariel's build). MIUI has simply stunning looks and its theming engine (and available themes) are simply awesome.
Be advised, you need to sacrifice a bit of performance a functionality on MIUI over other ICS builds like CM9, only for its looks, but i love it so much that for me, its worth it

will the official ICS version have hardware gpu acceleration? or we will never see ics with hardware gpu acc on our phone?

I also running v4 MIUI by bihariel. I agree that the management issues is something exceptional. But I must say that I have tried many roms and gb ics and have not found a difference in performance or slow as you say. Using another launcher, so MIUI home which is very heavy and a couple of kill app to lighten the ram, perhaps because of this.
However, all the rom try this is extraordinary.

Not sure about the big differences in roms, but if you want a smooth CM9 launcher, I recommend LG UI 3.0! smoother than samsung touchwiz home, nova, trebuchet. Not had anything smoother since then.

Well, the launcher along with its customizability (icons etc) is one if the main reasons to choose MIUI over cm, so changing that would ruin all the fun

[KERNEL] HorsePower 2x, [ROM] PARANOIDNANDROID v1.5

Hello all together,
I have a short question and I hope my school-english will be enough so you can understand.
My O2X was suffering from some strange battery-drain-issue while using the latest CM7 nightly. Because of that I flashed to the latest version of the "PARANOIDANDROID v1.5 [Build 2]"-ROM. Now I am experiencing some strange problem:
1. My phone seems to do a short "break" before it opens up any app. That means, I tap on the icon and for approx. 1-2 seconds, there is nothing happening. Then the app starts. Is this normal?
2. When playing a game ( e.g. Defender II ), it runs very very smooth for the first few minutes but then it starts to stutter around so bad that it becomes unplayable... seems like a RAM-related problem to me?
When I came from CM7, I did a full wipe and restored no apps. I am using the BB 725 with the V20f-RIL and my service provider is Congstar ( D1 ).
I first tried the latest Harsh-Kernel and then switched to the latest Nova-Kernel-Pure-Edition, but that did not lead to any success concerning my problem.
I also tried several settings like zRAM, Kernel Samepage etc. but also no success here.
Apart from this, the ROM is running awesome, very smooth scrolling, hilarious battery life, everything fine. But those two problems are really annoying me.
I would be so grateful if you could help me. Thanks very much in advance!
Greetings!

My O2X was suffering from some strange battery-drain-issue while using the latest CM7 nightly. Because of that I flashed to the latest version of the "PARANOIDANDROID v1.5 [Build 2]"-ROM. Now I am experiencing some strange problem:
1. My phone seems to do a short "break" before it opens up any app. That means, I tap on the icon and for approx. 1-2 seconds, there is nothing happening. Then the app starts. Is this normal?
2. When playing a game ( e.g. Defender II ), it runs very very smooth for the first few minutes but then it starts to stutter around so bad that it becomes unplayable... seems like a RAM-related problem to me?
When I came from CM7, I did a full wipe and restored no apps. I am using the BB 725 with the V20f-RIL and my service provider is Congstar ( D1 ).
I first tried the latest Harsh-Kernel and then switched to the latest Nova-Kernel-Pure-Edition, but that did not lead to any success concerning my problem.
I also tried several settings like zRAM, Kernel Samepage etc. but also no success here.
Apart from this, the ROM is running awesome, very smooth scrolling, hilarious battery life, everything fine. But those two problems are really annoying me.
I would be so grateful if you could help me. Thanks very much in advance!
Greetings!

Please do a full wipe, including /system, then reflash and first try it with the stock kernel.
I have none of these issues.
Oh and: disable zRam (compcache), that's not perfectly working on our 2x.

[Q] Incredible S JellyBean Roms Comparison

There have now been severel JellyBean ROMS released for the HTC Incredible S.
I was hoping that I could get some opinion on how well each one is working.
So far i have found the following ROMS:
Codename Android and JellyBean Evolution by Nic
There is a comparison of them here.
The thread pretty much outlines that they are smooth bountiful ROMS which they are. They work really well, however, I have noticed some extra things wrong with them other then the outlined ones:
-Loudspeaker does not work and breaks the mic for the call.
-Sometimes the text on the homescreen becomes blurred, you have to lock the screen for a while to get that to go away.
-The full screen videos crash the phone, the fix doesn't work on my phone.
The next ROM i have seen is the CyanVivo X mod. I haven't tried this one but it seems like it has all the same problems. Front camera doesn't work. Full screen vids etc.
There is one that has been released recently:
It is an unofficial CM release:
It seems to have solved all of the problems with the ROM, the front camera works, it seems like it is quick, the only thing it doesnt handle is video camera. Can anyone tell me about problems with this ROM.
I was hoping to make a good Thread which compares each of these ROMs and which ones are the best?

The first two are just ROMs to say you have JB on your phone, both are buggy but some people can live with this and use them daily. These were the first JB ROMs, the same Dev got them running then support stopped.
CV10 is the breakthrough JB ROM, Dev working on it and the ROM has potential. More stable than the first two ROMs as Dev focusing on the kernel, currently still got a couple of bugs which some people can live with to be able to use the ROM daily. Keep an eye on this thread for development progress and regular feedback.
CM10 has a ninja for a Dev, works in the background and appears absent from the forum. Then ROM appears. The ROM currently seems to be the most stable/complete JB ROM and has least bugs. Many people using this as a daily use ROM. But is the Dev still working on it to perfect it, how long until the next update... nobody knows!
I tried this ROM, battery life seemed short, I struggled to get a days normal use from one charge. Plus I wanted my video camera to be working so I can film my young kids when I needed to. Back on ICS/sense ROM now.
These are just my own crude opinions.

there is a paranoid android JB ROM by Nikhil: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863862
I had used the ones you have listed below as well as the paranoid android ROM.. i found the paranoid to be less buggy...give it a shot.. it is a very different visual experience.. the rom is based on CM9.. you will have some minor issues:
1. front camera won't work
2. Adjusting in call volume resets the ringtone volume
3. Google now may not work..
4. tablet mode won't have an option to enable USB connectivity...
...
Give it a try; apart from the above issues, it is a very stable ROM; i was on it for about 6 months with no issues..
1. It is a different experience altogether - not many tweaks is what I found but a visual delight
2. google now issue will be resolved after you flash the "4.1 to 4.2" package; it will also introduce photosphere: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991734

From reading the thread on the paranoid android it looks like it has more bugs then the Unofficial CM ROM. Things including permenant sleep and crashing with full screen video, which i experienced with the original ROMS from Nik.
The only problems I have with the Unofficial ROM is that the battery drains quite quickly (About 10Hrs on Battery with Juice Defender Pro), it can be a bit Laggy at times which i didn't experience with Niks ROMS and sometimes it doesn't quite wake up properly, (The button lights come on but you have to wait a bit for the screen)

Hi,
My experience with the ROM was different.. yes is an issue with the full screen video but the thread mentions the solution.. I did not have any issues with phone not-able-to-sleep... the battery was also good - it used to last atleast a day with good usage on calls...
With tools like 'Easy Battery Saver' it even touched 2 days with normal usage..
I was on the ROM for six months with no issues.. also i did not use the default launcher bundled with the ROM; I had installed APEX launcher rather..

Try turning off network based location in gps settings and rebooting the phone. it's a known bug with cm. :/

Are you only looking at CM/AOSP/AOKP roms?
I really don't think any are ready for daily use. Every one I used I thought was okay, then I needed to use the camera or some setting and it would crash. I'm going to wait for szezso to make a fully working kernel.
I think I'm going to test lacoste right now though... I'll tell you what I think.

I've been using dla5244's Unofficial CM10 for more than a week now. It's definitely a daily driver. With v2, even camcorder works wonderfully. I believe the v2 kernel is full featured and I can find no bugs at all so far.

tried the unofficial cyanogenmod 10 v3 .. all is fine EXCEPT one thing that really bothers me, the touch screen is not that responsive.. the scrolling is not smooth as it should be.. anyone have same prob ?

If u want a stable n fast JB rom then u should try Lacoste 4.1.2... Its fast, smooth, battery backup is awsm, sweep2wake enabled kernel, n most imp its almost bugless...so give a try......

Lacoste is just another version of unofficial.. For me i prefer unofficial because dla did all the work, but in lacoste, it is just a couple of tweaks based on dlas rom..

I tried CyanVivo X, and it was awesome, except neither WiFi nor Bluetooth would turn on. I'll give the unofficial CM10 ROM a try!

I've been using Unofficial CM10 since it was released and scrolling is as smooth as it should be.
What CPU governor are you using? I once switched to Interactive with some bad tweaks which resulted in something like you're experiencing now. After switching to ondemand/smartassv2 everything is fine now.

Actually I read your previous thread about battery life so I tried it myself. Maybe I screw something up.
