[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

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.

[Q] ROM decisions

I've had my Nexus One for 2 years now and have had a few different ROMs on it. I've been pretty loyal to Cyanogen and used Kangarama for a while which was a Cyanogen base. Currently I'm using CM 7.1 with Intersectraven's kernel and it is fast and smooth. The only thing is, I've grown bored of CM lately.
My wife has a Samsung Vibrant and I've taken her from Simply Honey to CM 7 to ICS Passion and now to MIUI. Each ROM was drastically different than the one before. She loves MIUI now and told me she wants to keep that one for a long time. I messed with it for a while and have to admit that it is pretty cool.
I started thinking: should I go to CM nightlies for a change or should I use MIUI? I have some hangups about MIUI though. I figured yous guys are the ones to ask about this. Is MIUI as customizable as CM 7? Is it as fast? Are the CM 7 nightlies currently stable enough for use as a daily driver? My knowledge of Android is strong enough that I've used nightlies before and understand that there are bugs but is the currently a build where pretty much everything works? Do the nightlies currently have many more new faetures than CM 7.1 or are they a lot the same?
I don't normally ask questions like this but today I figured what the hell? I would just flash and try them out but I use DarkTremor's A2SD and I've never had luck with a new ROM unless I do a Titanium backup, backup my SD to my computer, wipe and repartition my SD card, copy the data back to my FAT partition, flash, reinstall A2SD, then restore from Titanium. That makes the process take a couple of hours for me.
Any info/opinions on the subject would be appreciated and thanx in advance.

For me, nightlies never were an option and will most likely never be. Weeklies at least.
I used to have MIUI.us and it was ok. Fast and everything, but I soon got to realize that MIUI wasn't for me. Too "flashy". I use samuaz's CM7.2 build with IntersectRaven's kernel and it's fast and stable and all that. A little bored with CM7 now but the only reason I use it is while waiting for a stable ICS/CM9 build.

I'll look into that build. Thanx for the fast response.
I'm not pumped for an ICS build until they get the kernel needed for full hardware acceleration. When I put ICS Passion on my wife's Vibrant, it ran well with few FC's but it didn't have full hardware acceleration either and it was pretty darned slow compared to other ROMs I've put on there. That is why I ended up putting MIUI on her phone. She couldn't stand the slowness.

I too will put ICS on hold until it's got all I want in it.
MIUI is very highly "theme-able", though, considering you can mix and match themes as you wish. Let's say you wish to have an ICS lockscreen theme and a completely different SMS theme while having a third dialer theme. No problemo there.

Where do I find samuaz's 7.2? I looked in his github and didn't see it and his website is in another language so I was lost.

Here's his topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416894
But you'll have to put up with downloading it from depositfiles, though ^^

If your using CM7, there is no need to switch to nightlies. There were only a handful released after 7.1 stable was released. If there were any changes, they were minor.
I have tried MIUI, and while it is nice, it isn't for me. While the scrolling between screens is always butter smooth, the menu system often lags, and since it is chinese developed, there are a few things which are in chineese (theme names pulled from the web), and some things don't work to well (like the lyrics and album art function of the music app). I would occasionally get freezes and FC's.
MIUI is a very nice polished ROM with a lot of nice bells ans whistles that make it look really stunning, but it just doesn't seem to always play nice with the android framework.
I too am bored of CM7, and am like everyone else waiting for a decent ICS build. I tried texasice and it works fantastic for the amount of time that has been put into it, but it's not quite up to daily driver status.
If you are interested in trying different ROM's to see which you should use mainly, I highly suggest Boot Manager. It lets you boot different ROM's from your sdcard, so your main ROM is untouched. It doesn't work with ICS yet, but it is an excellent app.

It's suggested you use at least a class 6 sdcard, but I have had few problems with my class 4.

Yeah I use the ICSSGS ROM right now and I'm telling You man it's making me go nuts. The ROM its self is beautiful but has a lot of moments when it just goes stupid on me.

I think i will give it a try

Also used it, but 4 only 4-5 days so I can't say much 'bout it, but it was good.

i've been using Slim ICS for almost a month, no complaints....

the best ICS rom for me is the Teamhacksung builds. and then comes with the slim ics.

I did use cyanogen mod9 its worse rom, now I use dark night 3 with devel kernel its good rom but it need tuning and fix som bugs

Agreed Slim ICS

Same here, I've tried a bunch, and I keep going back to Slim, hands Down.
I'm using the Semaphore kernel tho. Not the Default one.

Dark Knight v3 has been excellent for me. In fact, it is the only ROM I've retained on my phone for more than a week.
I've been using it with different kernels and have found Glitch to be the smoothest but I faced some minor problems like Mobile Data not turning on after toggling Wi-Fi off. Devil Kernel is almost as smooth but seems more stable.
I tried updating to Dark Knight v4 yesterday with mixed results. A full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik) resulted in an extremely laggy phone. Any user input took up to 20 seconds to respond. I went back to my v3 backup and then tried flashing v4 again without a wipe and it worked much better. The phone felt incredibly smooth, even more than my brother's iPhone 4. I haven't come across any ROM that was this responsive to touch. Apps, Multitasking etc happened instantly.
However, I had this weird bug where calls, sms etc would suddenly stop working. Since this is obviously a dealbreaker, I'm back on v3 which is very fast by itself. I'm definitely going back to v4 once a few bugs are ironed out. Nasif has done an incredible job on the ROM.

I have tried several ics roms such as icssgs,cm9 build 17 dark knight 3 and 4,slim ics.they are quite well built but are still pretty flawed,freezes,crashes,slowing down sometimes,apps compatibility problems,cameras...I was tired of switching rom every week(because restoring requires a great amount of time and patience) so this time I decided to go for amestris,a gb rom...yeah,there's no any graphical or color change,but still is more versatile and near to perfection.all works without a blink and installed semaphore kernel is lightning fast and smooth despite 52 apps installed it won't even budge.In brief I reccomend a gb rom(unreacheable for any rom in smoothness and speed) for daily use,but if you 're looking forward to experiencing ics and it is your first time,try the roms foreamentioned.

i've been using ICSSGS 4.2 for three months, since the beginning of ICS roms for SGS devices in fact. It was much better than my "old" CM7 and faster too.
I gave a try to CNA, CodenameAndroid 1.4.0 and Wow ! so smooth and customizable, with toggles on the pull down screen, and power menu , and so much tricks but also some random bugs so i switched to Dark Knight 3, who it's near perfection.(DK4 seems to be buggy ...)
Now, there is a new version of CNA: 1.5.6 , i think you can try it.
bye.

I have been using BLUE LIGHTNING- v1.1.1-BLACKeditioN by BHuvan goyal for the last 2 weeks - I have found it very stable and quite neat.
There should be an update in the next couple of days.

roms
Hey,
I really think the best rom for me right now is the one that Cyanogenmod has out. Especially for the captivate.... its 4.0.4. Its really because cyanogen updates the rom everyday and fixes bugs every day and posts them as nightlies. http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-captivate there is the website.
Also... here is a website of a lot of different roms.
http://alchemistar.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-captivate-custom-rom-list-1110.html
I havent tried a lot but I have heard plenty of good things about dark knight. But really... cyanogen is hopping these days!

thanks! i'll check this out!

Review of ROMs 4.0.4
Here's my short review of available ROMs:
AOKP - very nice looking, sleek, fast, smooth, has some bugs which are still not fixed after so many releases (media bug, USB mount bug)
CM9 - not very smooth, not sure why, stuttery
Doc's V12 - AOKP based + TouchWiz
Darky V5 - had some bugs, ppl complain, didn't try personally
ICSSGS - tried it first, very barebone, good, but sad looking.
SlimICS - by far smoothest and bug free, but somewhat sad looking.
Nostalgia - based on SlimICS plus some beef, bacon and veggies. The best IMHO.

there is no best rom, only best for your likes.
read the features available and choose.

CM10 vs SlimBean vs HellyBean

Currently CM9 on my wife's Captivate but it's messed up right now and I figure I might as well upgrade it to JB now. Which ROM is best between these 3 options:
CM10
HellyBean
SlimBean
Anyone using CM10 or SlimBean: do you feel any lag due to the lack of /datadata?

From what I gather they are all fairly equal, but it seems slightly different for everyone. Flash one and try it.
I have been on slim for awhile. Love it.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

I could be very wrong but to my understanding the roms you've listed have all transitioned to the same partition layout and should all include the datadata partition. With that being said I have never used CM10 so I can't tell you much about it. Of the other two I would have to choose Hellybean. Its not that I don't like Slim as I've used it quite often and check out their new works often. It's just that Helly seems to give the best balance of features and stability plus I think my phone runs a little smoother with the devil kernel.
As always your experiences will likely vary and it's all a matter of how your cappy runs and what settings you use.

I've tried only a few different roms from 2.3 to 4.1.2 and Slim Bean 4.1.2 thus far is what i have found to be the best. Well, technically 4.1 as I just put on 4.1.2 yesterday. So far, no major problems.
My experiences is that 4.1 stayed smooth and fast and EVERY other rom eventually slowed down or started slow. Hellybean, Dark Knight, Fasty, Firefly (2nd favorite). I forget what else I've tried, but I would vouch for Slim Bean as being awesome. Only problem i've had is a few random shut downs which is a known bug. Other than that, good battery life, no reception issues, very little lag.
Hellybean, it was snappy at the start but eventually got laggy. I was sad cause i thought I liked it. Took me forever to try to call someone eventually.

+1 for Slimbean,very smooth and fast

I haven't been on SlimBean since shortly after the move to JB but I do remember it being a good rom. I have been on Helly (Salty Bean actually) for quite a while now and prefer the better balance of features and stability. It really is up to each individual though. I definitely recommend trying them all out.

so basically what is the difference of slim bean to cm10.1? and all of you saying stability.. did your phone hangs, or shutdown? been using cm10.1 for a month now no problem so far for me..

They're all stable if flashed correctly. The difference is in the user as it's up to personnal preference.

Hellybean or xperia captivating Which is now based off hellybean both work amazing on the Cappy. Best my Cappy ever felt. Hellybean devil came a long way.

Very good to me! Slim is very nice as well (kind of biased from history of CM devices)
