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] Best rom for optimus 2x

Hello guys
I got an optimus 2x, and was planning to root it, or whatever you call it From day one, I was really dissapointed with the LG stuff, it got better with launcherPro, which made my homescreen much much faster and smoother. I think this phone has enormous potensial, but bad software. Therefore, since I am new to this forum, I am looking for the "best" root or rom thing for it. Maybe there is many different versions, but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth. thats what she said.
Anyway, I've seen a friends rootet xperia, and he said he got some new UI with folders and stuff. I dont mind this, only it is good, and maybe it will be customisable still?
Problems Ive had with the phone: Random shuttdown, ugly apps like facebook for LG and antivirus etc. Buggy lockscreen. Battery goes to 0% when it randomly shuts down.
Is it wise to get 2.3 on the optimus 2x? I would love some inputs from you guys also, what you like the best and some general experience. Will I be able to update my phone when im rooted, like from the settings options from the phone? dno if this is important or not.
Anyway, links would be appriciated to official threads or direct links to your recomended roots/roms. Thanks

I have no experience with this, so a HOWTO guide or a youtube vid would be nice. Ive only done jailbreaking on 3.1.2 on 3gs

Cm7 is still in a nightly on the o2x but it has alot of bugs, i think. Mdc fr17 is very stable and fast, it's 2.2.2 though
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA Premium App

If you want a clean, simple, fast and smooth ROM like you said ide go for the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version -
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...om-rom-for-the-lg-optimus-2x-vanilla-edition/
This is also extremely stable as its based on the stock ROM but with all bloatware removed, also read some of the pinned topics on the links below, this will show you all you need to do.
http://android.modaco.com/category/506/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/

For bleeding edge stuff, hope on the CM7 nightly train, but don't complain if it crashes.
If you want stability, then try the MoDaCo stock based ones.
You don't need much of a tutorial to do it, use SuperOneClick to gain root, grab ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install ClockworkMod Recovery... download the ROM you want, wipe & install (also via CWM if you don't want to fiddle)

Hi
If you don't want to install a custom ROM:
have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
-Install latest firmware and baseband for your region (or another region if you prefer)
-root your phone
-Install ROM Manager from Market and install ClockWorkMod Recovery from there
-Install dexopt fix
Now that you have a good base, look in market for an app to uninstall system apps (I have used Root Uninstaller). To completely remove system apps I think you need to remount /system rw, else you can freeze apps for easy restoring if you mess up.
I would also recommend installing launcherpro from market (replace home screen and app drawer) and google stock lockscreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033776&highlight=aosp+lockscreen

Thanks for the help guys. Im gonna try the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version. I have an exam tmrow and will therefore not try it out until the afternoon. I also have to read some, and learn the difference between root and boot, and some of ur advance words havent found a real guide yet, but have the iso and all those other folders that was in the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version.
great fun

I think the phone drain battery too fast in 2.2 (official rom)
I loose 40% of battery within 6 hours without using anything (when I'm sleeping during a night)
That's why I change to use 2.3 and I found that the battery problem is gone
I loose 1% in 12 hours.

I'm also new to the fun world of android. I've learned alot by simply reading threads and using google to explain som of the terms Read the roll up thread very thorougly, explains alot.
I'm now using CM nightly #31 and it's been very stable for me.
Just do some backups and start toying around with your phone, it's fun!

..but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth = cyanogenmod!

So far, from temasek is the best.. he got a custom kernel too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425

My Opinion,
Android 2.3 from teamsek. It is just brilliant.
Android 4.0 from xxMrHyde + Nova Kernel is quite good keeping in mind the state of ICS on the 2X.

i advice to newcomers to flash first a stable CyanogenMod build.
then when they want to go further flash a Custom Kernel (for CM7 i think the best one is Etana)
after that take what ever you want! Try, try and try.
but pay attantion to not become a flashacolic :silly:

try nove HD
Nova HD is also great . now im using it..

Me too, it's the best ICS Rom i've ever seen, no lags, super fast (@1ghz!) and IMO completely stable, just some little bugs.

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:

Thanks!! What's the best overclocking kernal to use with CM9?

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.

Ironkernel, look at my signature.

Just flashed a new kernal and so far so good.
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:

Along with this custom kernel:

[Q] Low Quadrant score

My quadrant score on my rooted stock V20q LG P990 is 1683, when it should be way higher. I've noticed it running sluggishly in general after being powered on for more than a day, and it's really snappy when I've just rebooted. Apps work perfectly all the time. Do you have any idea what the problem is?

When installing a new ROM, will my apps/settings/launcher be saved, or will they be wiped and i'll have to restore from backup? I've done the nandroid backup and the titanium backup. I also have a custom camera kernel, will that have to be reinstalled as well?
Also, I can't seem to find links to the ROM you mentioned...

Just search Django Manouche's ROM on this forum. Sorry but I am too lazy to link it with my phone.

mate,
it is suggested to make a complete wipe...wipe of user data, cache and dalvik...means a clean flash....so make a backup with TB and restore after the flash....
for the ROM you have to go to XDA Server and there you will find the DJ1.5RC1 and just put it in ur Ext SD card preferably, then wipe and then flash...configure after that...
you will see the magic then...got it?
ENJOY

first the DJ is not RC2...still not in the planet except in Carburano's device maybe
second...it is never the score mate...it is about the feeling, the satisfaction and the goodness factor...who is going to see your score when you operate
third....ICS in the start has high scores and then starts sometimes to lag but there are several reports that it is still not very stable,some random reboots, thanks to LG H/W acc is not there ...so a few things missing....
SO ITS YOUR CHOICE and FEEL....

Again, for battery life, stability, and performance, I wouldn't put anything else on a P970/OB higher than Gingerbread (Marvel 9).
ICS (4.0) was factory on the P970, and it was buggy and unstable. I did enjoy ICS on the OB, when it was working; I reverted back to GB on the OB and never looked back.
There are JellyBean (4.1) and KitKat (4.4) ROMs for the OB (Nameless, among others); expect more charging time and features/functions that don't work.
I appreciate what the developers are doing with the P970, and many users enjoy "bleeding edge" updates. But at the end of the day, I value stability over everything else; the P970 with GB "works".
