What is the most stable version of Android for the Touchpad? I'm just looking to run ezPDF only, so I don't care about video games, playing movies, or audio. I just want something that will charge and not spaz out on me.
I have had great luck with AOKP. On any TP rom, if you have random reboots you may have trouble raise the minimum CPU speed a bit. After doing that it has been very stable for me.

CM7 Xronified 2.9.1
All the benefits and depedability of Cyanogenmod rom, tweaked to look and work just fine
This is my nandroid go to backup when I get tired of the bleeding edge ICS roms (lol)
I have had no issues running vanilla CM9 and it seems to run much better than CM7

Hello.
I am a newbie to this site....I have been messing around with my Nexus One, have been through a few different ROMs with it, but i ended up going back to the CM 6.1.0 RC2 as of today, runs a lot more stable and faster then other ROMs I was using. I am currently running the Kernel that it came with but am asking if anyone is using a different Kernel that seems to be running well with the CM 6.1.0 RC2...Any opinions will be greatly appreciated as i am new to this forum.
Been running wildmonks for some time and they seem to have a great following. They overclock a bit more and are extremely stable. There are 4 basic kernels to choose from and he does a good job in the OP describing the differences. Right now, i am on the AVS-BFS one and it has been working fantastic. I chose BFS over CFS, after running both, as i am more of a texter than web browser and multi-tasker and it seems to run a little more fluid on the simple tasks.
The three most popular are:
Pershoot's Kernels (make sure you download one for the N1, as he supports several devices)
intersectRaven's Kernels
Wildmonks' Kernels (IR's Kernel + Overclocking)
Right now, I'm on the latest Wildmonks SVS-CFS at 1190MHz ("test" kernel).
I don't like BFS because I occasionally get random unresponsiveness for 10-30 seconds in Opera Mobile, and my music player frequently skips while running in the background with many things running.
AVS saves a good deal of power, and is perfectly stable for me, so I use it (when not usingthe 1190 MHz "test" kernel). Then again, I seem to be on the luckier end of things, as I never had crashes even at 1228 MHz when that was offered.
WildMonks here, too...

I have used all of the three kernels, and found on my nexus one, Pershoot's kernel consumes least battery.
I would suggest you to try all of those three kernels, they're all very stable and fast, and while using them ,you'd better use Current Widget to find out which kernel consumes least battery for your device.
Hey thanks guys for the advice I appreciate it a lot!! Ill have to try them out and see what I like.

Hi Guys,
I am currently running the CM7 ROM (7.1.0.6 Milestone-KANG) on my Milestone. While the ROM is much better and faster than the stock ROM it still gets slow and laggy sometimes (Overclocked to 800 MHz).
Please let me know which the are fastest Gingerbread based ROMs out there and is there anything else that can be done to increase the responsiveness of the device.
Cheers...

Try HO!NO 7.1.1. It is build from kabaldan source, Android 2.3.7 and I love it

Ultimate Milestone (formerly Ice and Fire) is the fastest ROM i've used.
i used ultimate mod (ice and fire) but switchted to HO!NO! then.
i had trouble with minfree settings (check thread) that it killed my apps...
HO!NO! is even faster, more beautiful (i love this ICS design and transitions) and reliable (not killing any app). i only had to adjust permissions in OR once.
I must disagree with you guys. Ho!NO! ROM is very RAM consuming.
OK it looks nice but the phone is slow and lags a lot.
Stock froyo ROM with setcpu works faster, you must admit it.
I flashed my milestone with HO!NO! after reading this thread but i`m dissapointed.
I think I`ll give a try with a vanilla cyanogenmod
@up, apply Supercharger from zeppelinrox with best settings that fits for you and then try

where i find vanilla cm rom to milestone?
Ultimate Milestone (formerly Ice and Fire), is my best. Only complaint was camera (as with any CM7 based), then downloaded MIUI Camera and I'm done!
If you are open to something else.... the FASTEST rom out there is by far TelusLite (eclair and no longer developed) but if you want brute speed... that is the way to go.

i used CM6 from milaq 6.3.x - 6.3.4).... very fast and "low" RAM usage
then switched to CM7... it works well too but i feel the RAM usage when opening apps like MAPS to navigate or want to play some games. navigation browser and apps may close without warning...
then tried again milaqs CM6 (6.3.6)... it was ok but RAM usage is not good as the versions before...
i recommend milaqs 6.3.3 or 6.3.4... these two are ok, fast and you can use the most apps withouts errors.... and with supercharger you can get 60-70MB free RAM
IMHO, HO!NO! is the fastest ROM with moderate amount of RAM. I've tried all other ROMs like CM7, Ultimate Milestone, CM6, Cronos, MIUI... but they couldn't meet my need as HO!NO! does.
Ok it was like 2.3 works pretty smooth on the outside but gets really lag when you actully use any apps. 2.2 roms are much better but there's always a hard choice on which 2.2 is better since now most developers are focusing on 2.3

This is true! i try all and HO!NO! is the best!
Regards,
I am currently using CM9 RC0 (built from source myself) and must say, despite the very early status I like it even better than the excellent CM7.1! It still has a few issues (e.g. keyboard backlight and camera don't work, though I think there is a fix for the former), however, overall, it feels much smoother to me. As always with our old Milestones, the biggest issue is memory... When limiting background apps to two, I have very little issues with that anymore.
Keep in mind though that this ROM is not intended for daily use, so you need to be as crazy as I am (remember, no camera)
can i use the HO!NO! in my Motorola Droid A855?
i recommend HO!NO! for milestone.. it works smooth and fast.. of course it comes with a great battery life

Not unless he's made a Droid version as well. Milestone and Droid ROMS are not interchangeable.
Thanks Guys!!!
Thanks a lot guys for your suggestions. i tried most of the ROMs but found Ho! No! to be the fastest. Even at 600 MHz the ROM is quite fast and smooth.
In fact I have been having a small problem with Ho! No! ROM. I am in India on AIRTEL 3G. Whenever I switch to 2G Network I tend to loose signal and after sometime the signal gets completely lost. If I remain in 3G only everything works fine but battery usage is obviously more. Moreover, recently after HO! NO! CM 7.1.3 I am not getting 3G speeds while internet browsing while being on 3G network.
Do I need to change my radio according to India (where to find the same and how to do it?)
I didn't have any such problems on CM 7!!!
Hi Guys,
I tried a lot of roms for the I9000. CM10, MiUI ... etc etc. I love both of them and i really appreciate the smoothness of JB.
However I have a big issue: Random Reboots !.
I constantly get these reboots (twice a day at least). Then I'm forced to unlock my pin and usally my battery indicator goes nuts like from 90% before to 6%..
It drives me mad, because most of the time I don't notice my phone rebooting in my pocket. This time I'm not reachable and my phone is useless to me.
Can someone recommend a more stable ROM ? Should i go back to Samsung Stock ? Oh my I hate lag and old Android OS.

Depends on what you prefer GB, MIUI, CM
I like GB and using Saurom v2, v3 is on the way soon as is really stable and can tweak it
Can't be helped. Even budget grade phones nowadays have duo core CPUs. If you want your phone to be completely smooth, you are stuck with GB. Ficeto Base Roms are pretty stable, but lag features that you would normally find in custom roms (it's called a base rom for a reason). Darky Roms are quite stable too, but it can lag heavily in 3D games during explosion scenes.
You don't have to use GB. I'm on SlimBean 3.1, it's stable, smooth and the performance is great. (Live OC 114, I/0 = Noop, Smooth UI)
Mackay 1.6.3 is fine in regard of smoothness and battery consumption. Try it out

Use any version of slim bean, preferably version 3.1 or 2.7. It will give you the best Android experience.

Hi. I sold my lovely lenovo a820 and have i9000 until i will buy something better. But this phone lags and i can't use it for normal things like internet etc(only music works perfect). I tried some kit kat roms and cm10, but this isn't what i need. Maybe i should stay on stock 2.3 or cm7?
p.s. Yes, I set limit for 1 execute in background, but phone's still working slowly.
Can You help me? Maybe 1ghz and 512 ram isn't enough for daily usage? My ex lenovo (4x1.2ghz and1gb ram was working like rocket in comparsion with samsung).
I'm using my i9000 as my daily phone to be upgraded soon, and to be honest I wouldn't suggest any KitKat ROM. I've tried many of them, I was somewhat happy with OmniROM and before that older versions of CyanAOSP (I think it was v.2.something) but there are lags that can be quite frankly even excruciating (incaming call lag for example).
For the moment I'm happy with an ICS ROM: Mackay 2014 1.7. I've yet to test its full potential but so far the UI is far more responsive than any KK ROM I've used.
Hi i've had cm9 4.0 for years now, never touched it since and just recently found my touchpad sitting in the attic while i was taking out the Xmas decorations hah
I'm torn on either 4.4 kitkat or a version of lollipop. Just looking forward to mostly using the tablet for netflix, youtube, social, and Hearthstone or Vainglory, bluetooth audio/ps3 controller for emulators. To anyone with experience flashing the latest builds of these roms, do you think performance is better on 4.4 or 5.0? Or even some of the later versions of android? I stumbled upon this link comparing the two, youtube.com/watch?v=lOqjG57p9JM and lollipop ran surprisingly better on benchmarks. But that was a later version of cm12.1 (or has it better changed since) , does 12.0 possibly run faster? Can someone possibly try running Vainglory on whichever ROM youre in or benchmarks to compare? If that game runs more smoothly or is playable on a certain rom, without too many major slowdowns or reboots from the system then i think i'll be cool with it ha Or does someone recommend a certain rom with the processor overclocked a little or would running the touchpad on diff DPI speed that tablet up? And which dpi would look better on netflix? Also looking at either jcsullin, milaq, or evervolv. Thanks
