Modaco FR15 or CM7

Hi guys,
Currently running MCR FR15 but was thinking of giving CM7 a try...
Was wondering which people thought was the better rom at the moment in terms of stability / everything working / best battery life?
Cheers in advance.

I would stick with FR15 for now. It is very reliable. CM7 is way too buggy at the moment. Tried it for 1 day and had a couple of reboot.

i have tried both, CM7 is really not ready yet.
Cm7:
Flash video curruption, Sound stuttering, SOUND distortion , USB Mount to PC bug ,
Most important,
CM7 11. has a bug not all people has been experiencing yet, which the EXTernal USB card is not detecting under Recovery mode. THis **** end up having me NVflash my system, and lost everysingle thing on the device.
Note: if you read the forum , and i am not the only one that has this issue.
i will stay with FR15 for sure.
But to me i rather use STOCK LG ROM, issue free. if you can live with a bit slower UI and installation , other than that i think Custom rom isn't really that much better than LG stock rom with all the issue we are experiencing right now

I tried both, too.
MoDaCo feels more solid with less bug but the battery time kills me. Even with all apps suspended it still drains 10%+ overnight.
CM7 is quite buggy, yes. But I managed to get it running quite a-ok. The most important things work well (phone, gps, usb-storage, youtube, gmail etc...). There are a lots of issues with usb-storage doesnt work for some people and the video driver is still full of bugs (broken flash video, on-off animation don't work yet, screen turns on twice at wake ). Still, the best feature of this CM7 gotta be the battery time which is really really really important for me. Installed CM7 nightly 11 2 night ago and the battery drain has been virtually zero overnight. I will have to monitor it a few more days thought. Just wiped the battery stats yesterday so it might have not been correctly showed yet.

CM7 is completely separate to the recovery, and has no bearing on it. Whatever caused the problem was not CM7.

Totally agree with u.

I would stick with stock until CM7 is ready. Paul will lose interest in the O2X like he does with every device and development will stop. CM7 has a much larger development community and when the final builds are released it will be the perfect Android device.

But to be fair, Paul doesn't stop development on a device until his ROM is as good as he thinks he can get it (which, as I found on my Hero & Blade is pretty damn good - not installed FR15 on my O2X, as still thinking about taking it back).

Tested allmost all cm7 nightlies till v11. Its a dawn good rom, but not reliable at the moment because of the freezes and reboots. I will definitely install cm7 final but till then i continue using fr15 FEAR edition (stable and smoothness ****in rocks )

Hi guys,
Bringing this one back from the dead - we're a month on from the original post... is there any change?
Is MCR (FR17) still the best custom rom?
Of has CM or one of the FR18 roms from here surpassed it?

CM7 has come along way, annoying freezes are a thing of the past.

I'd recommend a modaco based rom. I'm running fear edition and it's nice and fast. Cm7 still has some bugs.
I'd recommend making a nandroid and testing a few out for yourself. Backup and restore is a fairly simple process

I'm running CM7 .42 build at the moment, and I must say I'm pretty impressed. Overall feel is better than with Fr16 (haven't used 17+, since that's when I went on to ecperiment with CM7 nightlies), app installation is faster, Gingerbread (should I say more? Well, yes: it brings UI changes I prefer to Froyo, like the widget selection screen, faster UI overall).
I had issues with Slick2x and Spoelstra's GB ROMs rendering my Wifi unstable and unable to connect after a while, but I have flashed CM7 off the official source and it is bloody stable, fast and I have yet to experience that WiFi bug again. (I have had one reboot, but I am pretty sure it was a sucky app (errrr, game) that caused it. Hard to blame CM7 for that.)
I'm currently not going back to Paul's ROMs for a while. I'll stay a subscriber though: he has magic fingers and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do when LG finally gets us GB....

I'm using the latest CM7 Nightly, it works perfect, but the only issue is that i'm not able to get the internal sd-card mounted.
Anybody got a solution for this?

Look in /mnt/emmc

Thanks, but...
For example the camera won't see it. I think camera app doesn't know the mountpoint. Same at gallery.
Currently, I don't have an external sd-card...
I'll have a try by editing the vold.fstab, perhaps that's it
Edit: just renaming emmc with sdcard and vice versa doesn't solve the problem.
Edit2: It works!

Tested fr17 fearless today, it's nice and quick but i just miss something.. don't know what. Back to cm7

+1 for Modaco or fear Rom CM7 just isn't there yet for an everyday rom, It's close. I still get sound missing or stuttering in MOST music players that only goes away after a reboot but come back randomly. A fair few games just refuse to run under CM7 that run fine under any other non 2.3 rom. So for me any 2.2 based rom is at least usable as 2.3 isn't quit there yet. If you however never use your phone for music/photo or games then CM7 may just be ok for you.

Kernel
Sorry, but you and 'ever fail to install rom with some kernel?? Let me explain:
Device: Lg optimus dual root
Rom can not install anything they "Flesch" kernel Modak r10.
have no problem when I install the nightly cyanogen, all the others I do not like me on whether the cell remains blocked startup that says LG.
Someone knows how to help? Thanks.

Not 100% sure what you're trying to say...I recommend a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition then dalvik cache in clockwork recovery. Then install your new ROM. If that doesnt work try nvflash back to stock.

[Q] Trystan34 Help

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.

How do I get all this CM7.2 KANG + IronKernel with vadonkas Powersave patch?
What is the vadonkas powersave patch?
Is the CM7.2 KANG a single 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.
I am going to flash soon just a few more questions.
In the Ironkerne download page there are lots of files and there is:
ironkrnL32-20120103h0852.zip
ironkrnL96-20120103h0852.zip
ironkrnL64-20120103h0852.zip
Which one must I get the 32, 96 or 64?
Temasek's Kang:
He said "I've not tested those bluetooth stuffs I just added, so don't ask me."
Does this mean bluetooth might not work?
vadonkas Powersave patch:
Is the "CM7 kernel only (version: 2.6.32.45) for O2X" one I must use?

Would it be difficult to use? I use Go Launcher ex for home screen. I also use Widget Locker Lockscreen for lockscreen. Does this hide the gingerbread looks and feel?

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??

Best ROM as of right now?

Whats the best rom available right now for the N1? I haven't tested my N1 with anything in a while been running MIUI but I'm finding it to be sort of laggy now with apps installed.

Fastest? Hmm, pretty much any CM7 self-kang.
This one by samuaz is really fast: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416894

Is that the most stable rom available for nexus one right now?

with multiple full wipes to include system both are stable for me
with ICS by samuaz you need to follow op page exactly

Temaseks latest CM7 Kang with scroll zip is BLAZING

I use now ICS by samuaz, it's fast and really stable. But it's an alpha version!
When you think it's important to have a stable rom, then
use CM7. CM7 roms are as stable as stock, but better ;-)

worth upgrading to ICS or JB?
hello. I realize this thread hasn't been active in a while, but I am thinking to bring back my Nexus One from the grave so I can have a backup phone for my daughter to play with in the car/plane. I wanted to ask if it is worth installing ICS or JB ROMs that are out there. I just have the stock ROM in there now and I always struggled with low memory and lag with some newer apps, that's why I've upgraded phones (I've have a Galaxy Nexus now).
I don't have intentions to put a SIM card in there, so I don't really care about phone call features.. only purely from a processing and lightweight standpoint.
Has anybody played enough with GB vs ICS and/or JB and weighed if it's worth upgrading? I'm assuming that it's worth it because so many developers still have Nexus One ROMs... that's why I would just go ahead and install it, but then I'm thinking again if it's just going to bog down the phone if I'm going to only use it for simple games.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello! I have installed the CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v6.0 that is based on CyanogenMod and Evervolv, and works fine for me. I also have installed all the /data partition in the SD card with the A2SD script that is incorporated in the ROM... it generates some few lags, but I didn't have had any problem of lack of space again.
In my opinion, this is the ROM of JB that best preserves the native Android interface, and in my case is stable (until 7 days without to require a reboot!).
Other JB ROMs that users frequently use are PARANOIDANDROID and PixelDroid.

Thanks for the quick response! That is the ROM I was thinking of as well. However, just as a comparison, I'm thinking to flash a clean version of GB back onto the phone as well. Any recommendations on any GB ROMs as well? Thanks!

This is my main phone. In several times I though changing to other new Nexus device, but the screen size of new devices is too big for me! I like a screen size from 3.7 to 4.0, that is good to read mails, a brief navigation in the Internet, and other minor issues. For other intensive uses, I have my tablet Nexus 10 or my laptop.

Just got my x2 =D

Decided to sell my acer liquid metal and get one of these but it's not playing ball.
Bought it used with it already rooted with CWM installed running CM7 KANG
I wanted to put CM9 KANG onto it but it took ages, for some reason the phone will not work as a mass storage device?
I ended up putting the SD card directly into a usb adaptor and putting a ROM onto it that way.
Now that CM9 KANG is on it still won't work properly as a mass storage device and on top of that there's no google market or anything
And were's the face unlock?
Build quality is amazing though!!

The USB Mass storage is still a bug of CM9!
Here are the google apps, you need to flash them over the rom in CWM:

Hi, congratulations on your new phone.
For market and face unlock etc, you'll need the latest gapps, which you can find via google, xda search or here
With regards to usb mass storage; I haven't tried it myself, but heard that you can use MTP. My vague recollections from my nook color:
Go to settings
Go to application/memory (forgot, don't have Touchpad on me)
Top right corner there is the onscreen menu button, click on it.
Go to computer connections
Click on MTP or something like that.

Graphics performance is all over the place, Neocore and quadrant have shown massive gains but nenamark 1&2 along with Taiji has all dropped, the Taiji score on this 2x is 1/3 of what I was getting on my old phone!

Please bear in mind that the ICS builds are all Alpha builds, so really only suitable for developers to analyse. They are not fully working ROM's and cannot be expected to fully work just yet. When it goes to Beta, it will still have issues but less of them, and less severe.

Isn't there an offical ICS update on the way from LG?
Might move over to 2.3 then, Not really a fan of CM... Well not a fan off all the crapware they add....
Best ROMS for me are the ones that stay true to stock....
Can anyone recommend a 2.3 rom that stays tru to stock that will support overclocking?

There is an official LG update on its way, but knowing LG, it might take a whole year so don't get too excited about it...
Uhmm you could use this stock rom:

ICS ROMS

So ICS ROM been out for a while for our Ace, and I need to think from moving from GB to ICS, and i'm thinking if its really worth it?
I'm using a SGA with stocklitle 7.1 and BatteryExtender v1.2 and my battery lasts for like 1.5days sending sms to girlfriend and some friends plus some calls(rarely using internet). I still charge the phone every night.
I would like some sincere opinions if i should go to ICS, considerating I have a class 4 SD Card of 16gb and 116+ apps installed(using Link2SD).
SO I have some questions:
-How is battery life on ICS?
-Will the phone be slower?
-Is it true that on ICS apps use 100% SDcard and no more internal memory?
-Whats the most stable ICS ROM? (Like StockLitle is the most GB stable)
Thanks! Its really important!

Stay on GB, the ace wasn't meant to run smooth ICS in the first place. No ICS rom will provide the stability or battery life of stock based GB.
You can always make a nandroid backup, try ICS and just see if it is good for your daily usag. No amount of opinions beats personal experience when choosing a rom.

CM9.1 RC4.1 by Wayland_ACE is brilliant, stable and fully functional. The only lag that occurs is after start up.
Battery life is great compared to other ICS ROMs (though I cannot compare to GB since its been months since I've used it).
Phone speed is improved.
Apps will not move 100% to the SD card. And never will.
It is however missing quicksearchbox.apk (downloadable) so persistent search will not work and the Google Search app is missing.
There is no equaliser. Certain versions of DSP Manager are reported to work though.
LWPs do not currently work as livewallpaperpicker.apk is missing

The lag after startup is always there for CM7 roms too, and apps will not move 100% to SD card because if it moves the apps will take long time to start up.
DSP manager works good but Wayland didnt include it !
LWPs too, PM wayland he will do the required !
