[Offtopic]My own opinion about ROMs (most of them). - LG Optimus Black

Hi everyone, first I wanna say that Iam pretty bad speaking english but I ll do my best to this topic.
I just want to say that Im pretty happy with the community of OB cuz I have just 2 month with my OB and in that time there was just like 2, 3 ROMs available and those was little outdate... But right now we have 200% more than those days and they are pretty amazing ones
So all I have to say is keep that way and soon we even will have ICS in OB =P
Thx to:
- tantrums for his amazing Marvel Rom.
- gabwerkz for his amazing echelon ROM
- Huexxx for his amazing Zeus ROM
- achyut for his recent amazin ROM too
- re4lsk for his LFD ROM (I never try this but there is some pretty nice comm)
- TheFrankenstain for his work trying to port MIUI for our OB
And those dev that in his time work hard on our OB (I dont know exactly names cuz Im not that old on OB)
Edit:
This is my experience using those ROMs:
The first ROM I use was:
NOVA (Android 2.2)
This ROM is just excelent but is just a 2.2 Froyo ROM. I try this cuz when I buy my OB it came with that android version and that ROM was the original one plus a lot of tweaks!, I had no problem using this but I rly want to change to 2.3... so I found:
Zeus (Android 2.3.4)
At that moment it was at version 2.0 or similar, there we have an excellent ROM, no problems at all and great perfomance. I use this ROM long time without any Change, but there comming v3 and then 4 and I have bad experiences because SOD and when new version arrive I was wondering if t that will have no SODs and there I see still there for me... So, this ROM is excellent if you dont experiment any SOD (a lot of ppl havent but I do every time).
Then a lot of ROM born and I will not say in orden wich ROM I use (cuz I rly dont remember) but I ll say something about it.
Marvel
At it beggining it was just original ROM with a little tweaks, no so much difference, thats why I think this ROM wasnt rly a ROM, but then newest version arrive and it change a lot. I think this ROM is just perfect, great perfomance, no SOD for me, not problem at all... the reason I dont use this anymore is cuz "ICS UI". Im tired to see that UI at this momment...
Sapphire
I try this ROM less than a day because it UI, I just rly dont like, to much color and charge interface... I cant say anything usefull cuz I use this like 12 hours, it is smooth, great perfomance but thats it, I cant say anything else.
Echelon
This is my main ROM for my OB, I was a betatester of this ROM in an alpha version and it was just ammazing, then realease version arrive and a lot of ppl say that it was laggy, but I never experiment that, It is just rly smooth, great perfomance, amazing battery life (Im on 46% and it have 17hours of use with 3g on). I think you need to give a try to this ROM and if you dont experiment bad perfomance you will be happy with this =D
LFD
Like I say before, I never use this ROM... I remember now why I just dont... this is based on a "chinnese" ROM named Lezo and when that ROM arrive for our OB I give it a try and I was pretty dissapoined and when I see LFD was bassed on that, I just cant flash because my bad experience.... Maybe later I ll flash to give it a chance.
TMR
Well for this ROM I was a betatester too and I rly like the UI from MIUI, but there was a lot of problems at that time. Then It got new version and resolve a lot of problems. If you are a MIUI user, this is for you, there is a few problems yet, I experiment 2 random reboots, and the UI isnt smooth yet, but maybe some day will be a great ROM.
Noa
I never try this because Xperia UI, Im tired of that UI because I was xperia user and I just dont wanna see this anymore
CM7
Pretty nice but isnt stable yet.
I hope this can help you =P

+1 to all the roms but a (-1) to LFD ROM...

Congrats for the great work of all devs (including re4lsk ) and other users that contribute for this awesome community
I have been ghosting around for a while, now it's time to participate

Could this become a thread for people to discuss the different pros and cons of the several roms we now have? (or is there already a thread for that?)
It's becoming hard to decide and since not all of us have enough free time to test them all I believe it would be useful to have such a thread

umm...i think ur wrong here...LFD is lezo based. "NOA" rom by DiederickC uses most of my SE ports to get a closer look to SE.
nd, i was a xperia user myself (but loved the SE UI )

Agreed to OP
Excellent work from devs on all roms available wright now, nice to see everybody is helping each other te improve their products.
I'm here now for a few weeks, looking for nice stuff for my OB.
So far i tested some great roms, right now i am on Zeus 5.03 lite. This one is nice stable en pretty fast.
Past 2 days i have been trying Echelon, with ups and downs. I have been reading in Echelon topic (to bad i can't post there yet)
This went in up and downs, first it ran laggy en got max 1500 on quadrant advanced, after a second install everything went very well and got 2000 on quadrant. but then after a few hours the lag came back for a unknown reason.
I don't know what the problem is, maybe it is a fault of myself.. i don't know
much reading and searching keeps me learning every day en coming a little further each day.

Yeah, my mistake. I was confussed between LFD and Noa... thx for your comment
Well I think this thread can have my experience using that ROMs, so I'll edit first post and add that information there. Like everyone know the whole experiences is different for everyone, so take that informations as my opinion and no as a veredict

Thanks for the summary, it will be useful

I tried a lot of Custom ROMs in the last 6 months ..
The last 3 were:
-Echelon (stable, nice and simple UI, actually using),
-Marvel v4-v5-v6 (Pretty good and stable, until the last updates, Eats a lot of memory!!, so I changed)
-CM7 RC1 (Pretty Fast, very nice UI, but has a lot of bugs, too many reboots and freezzing, Can't wait for stable release)

Maybe put in a poll to see which rooms people prefer. Put the versions of the ROMs too eg. ZEUS v6 or marvel v6 etc.
Kudos
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA

I use Marvel A! It's the closest you can get to stock ROM for stability reason. Plus I have the option to remove all Bloatwares with Titanium Backup or Root Browser.
The advantage is "Peace of Mind" meaning I can finally use my phone as real phone releaving myself from endless flashing of new custom ROM bug updates everyday. When ICS comes out. I'll do the same method

[Q] Change to MIUI or not?

Hi guys,
i dont really find any related threads..
so i wanna ask you all whether it's better to stay on darky's rom
or change to MIUI?
and how serious is the battery drain problem? does it matter?
how long does the battery last?
MIUI is awesome, i never looked into it at first but im glad i did. I have been on it for weeks and i aint going elsewhere.
Battery is normal. 1-2 days at best.
Also. New updates every friday.
Highly customisable. You wil be amazed at it.
Try it and see. You can always flash back if you dont like it. But i know u will
Sent from Miui powered SGS
I agree, I love this ROM, totally different to any other ROM you will have tried, it's like having a new phone. If you can flash your phone successfully and iron out some other niggles you'll get trying to update, you won't go back to another rom again
id say looks great but finding so many many annoying things - though im new today so if i missed something or a fix i apologise way in advance 690odd pages is too much to sift through
keyboard has no working dictionary
auto rotate is bust
themes doesnt seem to change all the time correctly
auto brightness seems to not work too
and keep getting FC now and then in settings
Signal keeps switching off too(only fix is lock/unlock)
besides this and as i say totally new today n maybe i screwed up or missed a fix. its a great looking rom. feels nice
Their are other roms
Rom Kitchen
Look In Developers section .
Darkys is a rom not the holy grail of rom development suggest you try others you can always go back.
jje
miui 1.4.15 works awesome with zachs kernel!
now just wait for the rc5b then it will be even better

Keyboard will be fixed today. download keyboard from market temporarily
auto rotate is fine for many of us, depends on your kernel
majority of themes work perfect, very few of the 1000's of themes dont work 100%
auto brightness, again works well for many of us, check it under the settings menu.
FC in settings is due to the theme being used. as mentioned above
signal issue.... is lock/unlock so hard work ???
anyway rc5b will be released soon and im pretty sure all the above will be fixed. im sure you can appreciate the hard work taken to get this ROM almost perfect. there is no guide for this ROM, as there is for samsung ROMs.
looks like you all appreciate the miui rom
thats good.. i first thought that the battery drain would be a problem, but atm
my darky roms sucks more and i can run it only for one day
what major changes will come with rc5b? i thought of changing to rc5?
does anyone use the miui version? or is everyone on xda version?

well i use the xda version i think - the xda page directs me to 'sourceforge'
as the team translate it to english (its originally chinese)
RC5B will just fix a few bugs that is in the RC5.
you can flash to whichever version you want, just follow the steps carefully.

Buddy, try SpeedMod Kernel with DarkyROM. Trust me, you won't go back.
Even with 3G, Sync, Music & video playbacks, my I9000 has about 60% battery at the end of the day.
& of course, benchmark is about 1.9 to 2k ;-)
MIUI always gave me trouble with constant FCs.I've tried varius versions and not even one was stable.This is the most annoying thing in MIUI there is no stable version,only unstable roms full of regressions.I always end up in stock roms
I should point out that i am an avid flasher and i have the phone for over a year so i know exactly what i am talking about.
I've tried most of miui roms and I won't be going back anytime soon.
1) Theme app not working consistently. Sometimes it hangs and doesnt load anything, other times it just FC's
3) Battery, whatever they say is rank compared to a Samsung rom
4) Laggy browsers. This is was got me really REALLY frustrated.
5) No radio
6) Updated every Friday my arse. Only reason they are updated all the time is because there is so many bugs and ALWAYS something not working lol
7) The whole modification thing is a bit of a fallacy if you ask me. There's only so much you can change. Icons and wallpapers basically and most that are available are crap or just a mashup of other themes mixed with different wallpapers.
I could go on all day
I'm much happier on Samsung based roms.
They work.
You can theme them
Battery is lots better

[Q] what is better MIUI -OR- Simply Honey?

(since my last thread has been deleted, I will ask again
EDIT: AND Cyanogen Mod 7 ROM DOES IT HAS BETTER CAPABILITIES??
I wanna know which rom has better capabilities simply honey or miui
(Capabilities=
which rom is faster(miui or SH) or they have +- the same speed?
which rom is stabler? or they are the same..
which rom has more and better features or they have the same?
this things..)
thanks for helping
NOTE- I have already read both SH's and MIUI's threads
NOTE- if you have nothing helpul to say to my question and you just wanna say negetive comments- do NOT NOT NOT answer!! its not the place for you
simple honey
its perfect
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
i would go to simply honey it's simpler and really good. im not on simply honey but looking at the specs of the rom it seems really good. however front camera doesnt work as it says on the ROM and you need to reflash another kernel!
another thing is they have took out apps that came in with SGS from the stock ROM some of it i find very useful. i think the speed of both ROM is quite the same ^_^.
thanks !! waiting for more people---and which rom offers more features? SH or miui?
(and I have SH 3.2 dont wanna update it to3.5 because there are problems with 3.5)
There are no problems at all with 3.5....you're getting crazy man....you're paranoic!
Try and judge!!!
Sent from my SGS with Simply 3.5 Revolution ROM
simone201--i've already tried..
there might be problems!! now I have simply honey 3.2 so I dont want to upgrade due to all the problems in 3.3 . (and as I said- 3.5might include some problems too)
p.s- why am I getting crazy ? lol? it seems you are..
waiting for more people and help please..
please help me guys.. need more comments
FFS.....
Do your parents still cut the crust off your sandwiches for you.
Just flash the rom and find out for yourself. If you don't like it... Move on to the next.
WOW.. what a noob 10 years old... next time use your parents in order to understand what I've written before posting a new comment!! (sorry for you..)
need help please!!

This is terrible, you cant compare those 2 roms.
And you said you've tested them both, so why not use that one that's better?
if its hard to understand, the word "them" means to simply honey 3.2 and 3.5 !!!
of course I can compare ONLY about the CAPABILITIES
(about how the room feels/looks/ beutiful or not-- all this things of course, I will decide by myself and im NOT asking for that)
NOTE- if you have nothing helpul to say to my question and you just wanna say negetive comments- do NOT NOT NOT answer!! its not the place for you
people please help me.. !
Dude, both are awesome. But you can not compare the two ROMs! Simply Honey is 2.3.3 based and MIUI is 2.3.4 based!
The difference in features are very minor, maybe a little here and there. But basically both are equally good ROMs. Try it out for yourself and see which one you like!
I'm currently running MIUI MCGv3 which is fantastic but it is not quite as complete as the stock custom roms like Juwe's or Simply Honey, two of the biggest let downs being the lack of an FM Radio and choppy MKV playback. But in saying that it is stunning visually and has a lot of cool unique features. I haven't used Simply Honey only Juwe's so this could be a little biased. All in all you'll have to try them out yourself, different rom's for different people and different needs.
vijaykanth--- thanks god that's what I want to know -- "The difference in features are very minor" omg thanks finally someone understands!! well I hope your right..
Shrapnel2--- thanks you very much!
still need more people and comments
**and what about the speed? the speed is preety much the same in both roms or one of them is way more faster?
(and look guys, all about how the rom looks and feels of course I will decide by myself.. im looking for the rom who has better features, and fast rom. so thats what im asking if the features, speed, stable and all this stuff are the same +- in both roms or not)

The main reason I moved to MIUI from Juwe's is that I was getting bored of the same old interface even with changing round png's in the framework and modifying bits and pieces- everything still looked bland to me. Speedwise I think that if you compared the two(Juwe's or Simply Honey on ext4) you would find them to be fairly close, I think lists tend to load faster on MIUI but it has been a while. Stability is fairly good but not 100% of the time, eg before settings Force closed on me, no biggie though as I had apps fc on Samsung GB roms too. Another thing to note is battery isn't the best on MIUI, you'll easily get a day under average use but don't expect three day marathons like some Samsung roms do. So good luck on picking!
each rom is better if the person likes it .I use miui but before that i used simply honey and it was good but i like miui better .It has lots of new features
I installed Simply Honey 3.5 the day it was released, I was previously using Darky's Rom v10 and I was very happy with the change. SH is visually beautiful, I installed Dark Core kernal after installing it to fix the bluetooth issues with CF-Root.
The front camera is still displayed sideways but thats no concern to me since I barely use it anyway. Love the new lockscreens, the market is a bit odd to look at but it doesn't bug me too much (if it does there's plenty of themes out there). After flashing the SGS2 email apk I was very pleased with my phone. It's been a lot more snappier than Darky's and haven't noticed any lag at all..
I'd take Simone's advice and install SH 3.5, you wont be dissapointed =)
Just try both for a full day - you can revert to your previous one anytime with a nandroid backup.
as far as I've understood -after restoring applications, the andorid market and applanet might not recognize them as 'installed applications'. then, I will not be able to update my restored applications
and thanks everyone!!! waiting for more comments..

Best ROM For Battery Life - Personal Experience?

Hey guys. I might be Rooting and flashing soon, and I'm looking for which ROM I should go for.
I was looking for one with good battery life (I use my phone for Music, Game's Etc.) and hopefully a ROM that has better battery life then stock.
I was also looking for one that had Sense 3.0.
Any chance such ROM exists? Any one tried a few Sense 3.0 Rom's and has had good battery life from one?
Thanks

Virtuous unity 2.35 does go good.... The sense 3.0 is just amaZIng! IF U WANT I'LL POST THE LINK HERE...
arhd is good too but then its over clocked to 1.5Ghz by default, so alot has complained for it doesn't boot up, stays in the HTC screen.
This ROM too gives u amazing performance but its mostly the users taste here...
And not to forget, Coredroid ROM... Man this ROM OS simply fantastic, I've used it before just because of the backlight issues removed it, the backlighta aka the 4 menu butons, doesn't work sadly.... But, there's gonna be an update soon, so yeaaaaaa! It's gonnna have sense 3 with the backlights fixed too...
Hope this helps....
There's one more post I came across this forum...
letmedanz said:
well, as pointed out , the choice is very personal.
it depends on your preferences as there are some differences in most of the major roms.
so far i've tried ARHD, CM7, MIUI & Virtuous unity.
CM7 is quite good if you are interested in having a non-sense rom but the functionality, stability is top notch. CM7 has set a standard not just for stand alone developers but for corporate production as well.
ARHD is a very popular rom and most people using it will swear by it.
it is sense based, and it will feel like a charged up stock rom.
very professional as well.
MIUI is what i used the longest & i must admit it is a brilliant rom in the fact that it stands out in appearance & customization.
every app and every part of the system is beautified and it feels like a totally different phone. if you are looking to have a 'different' yet amazing phone, MIUI is the way to go.
but the major drawback with MIUI is that it is not officially supported for the INCs and thus there are some minimal bugs which can get a bit annoying.
And of course it has no app drawer, works like the iphone.
this can be handled by the wonderful app created by a member here called alt drawer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
i feel this is a must for MIUI.
finally, using VU at the moment and i feel it is a perfect blend of sense components and that little something extra.
looks, feels and works amazingly well, minimal bugs and almost feels like the perfect rom again...
i did however run into a few loop boots recently, but i think that can be worked on.
that's my personal opinion on all the roms...
and i think it would be a good opportunity to give a heartfelt 'thank you' for all the developers here working so damn hard on providing world class roms for us.
Thank you guys, we all do silently thank and appreciate all your efforts!

The great thing about rooting and flashing is that you can create a back up and from there flash everything possible until you find what your looking for. One thing to remember is that you cannot kill your phone flashing new roms as they do not change your BIOS.
Thanks for all your replies guys - does anyone have a link to ARHD?
Sounds quite good
EDIT: ARHD Isn't full Sense 3.0, might leave that one... is Virtuous Unity a good one to go with then? (No bugs, good battery etc.)
i refer to ARHD 1.1.6
with kernel 4
Using VU 2.3.7 .. its butter .. !!! Best Rom with sense 3.0..

Thanks Nabeeltanz for quoting my post
well, to add to the above post, i have personally experienced MIUI to have the longest battery life among all the ROMS.
My usage is quite heavy, 3g on all day, regular surfing with streaming of music for most part, a little gaming here and there, emailing and of course the messaging and calls. most of the ROMS i've used lasted me a full day.. MIUI did a little more.. consistently it would last for close to 2 days. it would definitely need recharging by the end of the second day..
but compared to the stock rom, all the custom roms do provide good enough battery life.

Cm7 nightly with tiamat 1.14 has been hands down the best imo.

Just so say, I'm using Virtuous Unity and it's been brilliant so far.
To all those guys that use CM7 Nightlies (Test Release) with timat 1.1.4 , just want to clarify with you guys that do you guys get crashes on it?
I downloaded the latest test release last night and flashed it after I flashed my ROM and I've got to say that I keep get crashes (com.android.phone process has ended) . So what is the ROM that I should flash? Is it the stable version or the test version.
and can I flash the kernel (timat 1.1.4) on my Virtuous Unity 2.3.9? So what is that is power saving? The kernel or the ROM or both together? (im confused)

I did a full wipe using ARHD 's (Super Wipe) and also using my Clockworkmod's wipe . I performed a NANdroid before flashing (of course im scared) . I had problems on the nightly ROM as I don't know why my Airplane mode keeps turning on by itself.
It will be great if you can help me by posting the exact link for the ROM you use and the kernel you used and even the recovery you used to wipe your entire ROM before flashing the new one ..
I'm still using VU 2.3.9 and I just realized that my battery life sux the previous time because I didnt flash the kernel of VU 2.3.9 (LOL) . I just flashed it and I'm currently letting it run to see how well is the battery.
as smartphone users, most of our main concern is the battery usage.. I would very much like to use CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies but just that I have second thoughts about it because it didnt have the "Quick Settings" or HTC keyboard that I was using on my VU . and I can't find and nice framework which is suitable..
so i guess if you could help me on this issue. I'll really appreciate it .

SGM rom review

Post your comments, experience, review, etc. about the rom you are using so we can help other new SGM users whos tryin to flash a new ROM (so we can give them a bit of idea of what is what on each and every rom)
repost only: (original post on symbinize Gt-s5570 official thread)
hi, first i hope i dont step on anyones foot with what i have to say in the next few lines.
Last two weeks ive switched my rom from Mr.Squadzone's CyanogenMod Rc4 rom to Mr.Parasmi's Emanon V.3 Rom,
cause they said it is not heavy on battery, (well coz battery since day one is a big issue, so i thought i'll try it)
so ive been using his rom for almost 2 weeks now and im impressed really, smooth and fast, and i like it how it performs
when im browsing the internet with it too, i also like the feel of "ics" when i start flashing those rainysunday themes on my SGM,
everything is nice and neat and no bugs at all. (i dont know if you found one, for me no bugs.) but here is what i have notice,
they say it is not heavy on battery right? Before on CM7 RC4 my battery last for more than atleast 3days, (i said atleast)..
Call and text and few minutes of browsing, no games.
And with Emanon V.3 rom my battery last for more than atleast 3days also, and here's another thing, i dont know if you guys have experienced this, my sim card is TM(touch mobile) and ive been using it since my last phone nokia 3120c and now with my SGM
and everytime im at the Bar, C.r, (yeah im using my phone even im trying to withdraw something) or any place that has poor signal my signal bar drops like hell, like i cant even send or receive sms messeges and calls, but when i started using any CM7's squadzone rom, my phone's signal boost, no more signal drop even on places with poor network signal's, and guess what? i've been experiencing signal drops again last few days with Emanon V.3, i think because Mr.Parasmi didnt include some tweaks (or its not really tweaks) for the Phone signal. I hope that in next version of his rom he include this.
But overall if you do not have issues with your phone's network provider (phone's signal) i recommend it for all SGM users who is planning to flash away from their boring and slow stock rom...
I have nothing against anybody, im just tryin to share my experience with this great two roms for our SGM, i thank Mr.Parasmi and Sir.Squadzone for developing our device, thanks to Mr.Tj style too even if hes not around now but hes the guy who started it all, he's the guy we should've give thanks too. Again i wish i did not step on anyone's foot but if i do, i am sorry alright? I didnt mean to.
..
Anyway's thanks for the time reading this, and happy android to everyone.
I recently gave emanoM V3 a try, and I got positively surprised with it too! It is very fast and very smooth, and I could OC at 806 MHz. And the stock visual with improved performance was all I wanted! I'm recommending it to everyone I know.
I didn't noticed a signal drop until now (maybe my commonly location has a very strong signal) but I'll pay more attention.
He really did a GREAT work! Looking forward for the next version.
emanoN ROM version 3 is the best rom
i had try all rom . .
then i try this rom is the best rom . .
this rom very fast and stable . .
OC can go to 806mhz . .
GREAT NEWS!
The emanoN V4 is out!
Check:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176927&highlight=clockworkmod
I'm installing it right now!
emanoNv4 is the best!!
emanoNv4 is defnetly the best rom of all but...
i like the cyanogenmod 7.2rc4 too after i give him a 2nd chance ;-)
both are great roms!!
and just waiting for cm7.2rc5 update, hope this week!!
I was using the CyanogenMon 7.2 RC4 by squadzone a long time, well all the squadzone series, even the Beta CM9. It was good. But somehow it didn't look right. Graphics were degraded a bit. It has a lot of customization. Then I tried to use the Emanom Rom v4, the graphics were stunning. It was fast and clean. Although not much custimazation can be done. It's the best so far. There is even that Rainy Sunday ICS theme by bintel which looks awesome though it only works on v3. Waiting for it to get ported on v4.
For me the best rom is emanoN v4, parasmi did a great job, thanks!

i dont know maybe its because of my Network provider thats why im having signal drops, funny thing is when im on CM7 RC4 phone signal is great, i dont really know.. but im stayin with Emanon and will test version 4 later.. this is the best rom for me so far.
how about Chocobread and CM7 music edition?? have you try this rom lately? will try later too after Emanon V.4

[Q] What is the best ROM

Hi there people, since we have now some excelents ROM´s, and for people who are divided, just wanted to ask, in terms on 3d performance and battery improvements, what is the best ROM at this moment, since they are all great.
Big Thanks
In my opinion there is no best..
it's all about personal taste..
the best way is to carefully read all the topics, make a back up of your phone en give the ones you like a try..
so far i tryed: CM, Zeus, Marvel, Echelon and Sapphire..
I had problems with CM, the others are all very good roms.
You can just choose one but you can also try every rom for a couple of days and then decide what rom you like the most!
The CM I tried too and had problem too....I´m divided between Marvel...Zeus and Sapphire...The Sapphire is the one that i have now...but in 3d i think is a little poor....for example...the asphalt 6 becomes a little sluggish....
In Marvel....I tried the v4.....and in Zeus...I tried the V4.02b...
The Zeus was the best one that I had...but changed because of SoD´s...and in Marvel the v4 was good...but i think that there was something missing in the ROM...But I would like a ROM with good 3D performance and good battery life....
I think you should try Echelon rom and Zeus v5 Lite to

Thank you for your advices...I will give them a try.
indeed.. if you want zeus right now you should try v5.03 lite
sapphire is good and fast but the theming is not something i like very much..
i like a rom that looks a bit more like stock.
it's echelon and zeus that i like the most..
Like sayed before thee is NO best Rom.
It all depends on personal needings.
If ur a "gamer" you want a Rom with max performance and oc-options
If u want to save the planet u want a Rom with longest battery-life possible.
So nobody can tell u: Use Rom XYZ and Launcher ZYX and ur done.
Rooting Android Phones and installing custom roms is all about personal needings.
So u have to read the topics to get some informations, and then just try out wich rom + launcher fits best for u.
I also agree to say that each rom has its pros and cons.
The ones I tried on 2.3.4 :
- CM7 nightly : always got some bugs, in particular with audio and bluetooth headset;
- zeus 4.02 : works great, but occasionally got some freeze/screen-of-death ...
- echelon 01 : minimalist and clean ui. Recently installed and find it very fast and stable. I hope it will still be for a while
I did not try other gingerbread roms
i tried:
1.zeus from v2 to v5.03 and it is my daily use rom.there were bugs in early versions and of course sod on some but since Huexxx released the lite versions the rom is great, fast and stable with excellent battery life and many options through zeus script..really love that script.
2.some late cm builds and temasek's last 2 kangs.not for daily use for me
3.ligux:really liked it a lot.hope we get stable cm so ligux becomes stable.bugwise it is like cm..
4.echelon:really liked it since the theme is based on ligux.fast and stable.hope to test it fully themed.hope gabwerkz keeps on updating.
5.sapphire:fast and snappy especially with the new tweaks that can be installed afterwards but i guess i prefer something more minimalistic themewise.
6.marvel v6:this is the only marvel i used(i use it right now) and i really like it.very good for daily use and fast, snappy like zeus for me..i always use golauncher and marvel, zeus are the smoothest with it..personal opinion of course.battery life very good so far.
7.lewaOS:tried it for 3 hours but i had many fcs.it looks nice but very early build.it is fast though.
i also tried TMR (miui themed based on v20b) but for like an hour.
bottomline is that we have a lot of choices so it is difficult to pick one.but the future of black seems bright..
if we get stable cm then the possibilities will be endless..
i am going to try LFD today..
Just try Zues 4.02b and it's nice though I got LGSetupWizard error 2 times and freeze once
I think marvel 6 is also nice hope I can try it
my advice is to try zeus 5 if you want to try zeus..
today i tried Echelon again and this time it is really awesome..
Fast/simple.. Definitely my favorite!
hello.*new member alert*
i started using custom ROM from a week before.
i have tryed all of the rom under the forum.
but i loved the work of this dev named acxyut. both of his rom is very good.i use prada for soemtime and then now i use the saphire.
but i get confused because i see he always call himself as a noob and not a dev.
i use the sapphire for now am i think it is best because i get very good performance and especialy the battery life.i loose no battery in night. not even 1%!!...also he release many theme app for the rom. i feel this rom turned into a full project.
but is he really a noob???if so, how he got so many thanks and how he know so to make a rom??
i am a noob, can i meak a rom also??
He is a cook, and he has some basic skills, I'm a noob too and I've made a rom, you need to learn some things first, basically if you have some basic coding skills you can cook a rom, but only professionals and experienced devs can port and make rom from scratch and fix bugs.
Trolling in the deep
Dude, I'm a noob and a cook.
noob is a person that doesn't know much about code, and a cook is a person that can follow recipes to make roms.
Research what is what, learn and maybe you could cook your own rom
Trolling in the deep
@gumm: read up buddy. read chef central. read the how to's. setup ubuntu. try. but as re4lsk said, dev nd cook are not entirely same.
nd one honest advice: if you like any work of any1, be it a ROM, or an app, whatever, APPRECIATE it instead of DOUBTING the credibility.
and btw, hoe can you "CHEAT" while creating a ROM???....is it an exam paper??
no flames please, but i find the essence of the post of yours @ the prada rom thread of mine somewhat offensive.
there is a nice thread by nooby at the general section. read that up. use the ROMs for a few days and see how p970 is. what the files are. what u need. and i do actually have some basic skills.
if you think i can help you in any way, please drop in a PM
