I am currently using Cyan Mod 5.0.6 and I noticed that the performance was not as smooth as the previous one ( especially the launcher ). I am planning on switching to Enomther. Can anyone please tell me which one will have smoother and better performance ( according to your opinion ) ? Thanks in advance
Imo, Enomther has better perfomance, I went from CM 5053 to Enomther to CM 506 and back to Enomther..
Enomther Rom is minimalistic and smooth

Does it offer as many features as CM ? And how about the phone call quality ? Good sounds ?

I believe phone quality has to do with the radio.. not the ROM?
But i have no issues so far... as far as features it has almost identical features to CM, Apps2SD.. Launcher auto rotate.. all that..

Not really though, since the phone call quality increasingly improved from CM 5.0.5.3 to 5.0.6
its probably due to the OTA radio upgrade that is essantial for CM6
If call quality has changed then it is likely due to a radio update.
Anyway, on topic, I prefer Enomther's ROMs to begin with, it just seems overall faster and more stable for me. It really comes down to personal preference. There are lots of great ROMs out there and some you may even like better than these CyanogenMod of Enomther's Official Nexus1 ROMs.
Point: If I had to choose between just these two, then Enomther for now.
Yes! I like this enomthers! Now I have FM Radio working well!
I experienced Korean Radio upg and I'm enjoying. (5.08.00.04).
Another vote for Enomthers here as well. I have used Cyanogen in the past but feel that Enomthers is much more stable.
If U only have the 2 choices, then take Enomthers for a spin
You could try them both for yourself and make up your own damn mind.
It takes maybe five minutes to restore a nandroid backup if you don't like what you see.

I know, right? I don't get why people would buy an N1, a bona-fide Google Developer phone, if they're just gonna *****-foot around flashing a few roms...
Like mtw says: "I ain't scared of no damn battery pull!"
Try cm6.1. It's fast and smooth and feature lots of things. Them flash a wild monks kernel. Happy life for me!

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....

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.

I've also tried pretty much every ROM on here and its by far the best. I've had 2.5 days with standard use on one charge.
+1 for cm7n and tiamat
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)

Nope no crashes here!
Did you wipe before you flashed it?
Also tiamat is for aosp roms only not sense..

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 .
Hi Guys,
after about 2 Hours of searching I'm trying this way
Is it possible to port the Framework with the Look and Feel of MIUI (including Launcher, Lockscreen, Lockscreen with Incoming Call, and so on...) to Cyanogenmod? Maybe not the launcher, LauncherPro is quite Perfect
I really like the MIUI Lockscreen and also when getting an incoming call but theres no theme to get this look.
I've tried to replace the whole framework in Cyanogen with the one included in MIUI but this gave me only Bootloops and I'm not really familiar with Java Code

why don't use just use miui rom , it's cm based ...
i also love the LOOK of miui rom, but its not as good as cm.
for one its based on quite an old rc 1 for our 2x, then the cammera sux there (but that can b changed), also it manages storage in some weird way which suggests that i dont even have an external sd, also i can not get my mobile data on any version of miui working. its sad, i really love the look. but cm is just better.
@xilw3r , I have long been on the CM, for some time I went on MIUI (1.9.30), it's not worse than the CM, I can say to you

I beg to disagree on this. I used MIUI 1.9.30 for about a week, and in the short span of time, I've had more issues than I've ever had all the other ROMs combined. It tends to lose data and/or voice connectivity for no apparent reason. It also forced a hard power-off while it was connected to a charger and didn't want to power back on until I pulled the battery out. I've never had this issue with the stock, leaked ROMs (e.g. 20e, 20i), or CM.
I love the look and feel of MIUI but its stability leaves much to be desired.

with USB ? , there is no such problem with Linux, it is only with Windows
I'm sorry that you meet the problem, I have no problems with this MIUI 1.9.30
I've tried MIUI as well but I have to agree with the guys, it's not good as Cyanogen. MIUI isn't as fast as CM and for me it wasn't really stable to use.
Also I had a hugh Battery Drain in MIUI and this is a No-Go for a daily-driver...
Yes muiu is very much laggy compared with cm

I´m using Miui 1.9.30 Roadrunner Edition (german) and since the newest update it´s ****ing fast!
I had CM7 on my last phone but now i won´t give Miui away
I'm using MIUI 1.9.30 netDrg EXT4 + VorkKernel + tweak Pack from Owain94.
Today I tried to test the latest CM (7.1.0 stable), and..... my MIUI is most faster
Miui is comvienent to use, but so much slower than CM... :S Had lots of issues to install owain's tweak on miui. Miui was always lagging when placing a widget on the laucher. :S Just felt bad after CM.
For some reason, I had a lot of issues with 1.9.30, but I decided to give another shot when 1.10.8 was released.
I am in an awkward situation where I am forced to swallow my own words written only a few days ago. It's fast, stable, and best of all, very battery friendly. I went through the whole day (14+ hours) with 45% to spare. That's the best battery life I've seen out of this phone with any ROM.
I don't give a whole lot of credit to the synthetic benchmarks, but it does really well on the stock MIUI/CM kernel. I am consistently getting 3700+ on Quadrant and 930'ish on Vellamo.
Anyone can port it?
Hi guys, I got this phone for free with bell mobility as my 2nd phone for my business line. I'm going to be using this phone only to make phone calls. No internet, ever. No wifi, maybe some bluetooth once in a while. No games, no apps. I have a Galaxy nexus for that.
Which rom would be the best for good battery life?
Thanks guys
Talking about the battery life and from personal experience,I would suggest using MIUI rom. The battery lasts for at least 2-3 days(for me) with normal use(wifi,music etc),so should go a far way if only used for calls.
Alternatively, if you prefer Sense UI,I've heard good things about the battery life of Android Revolution HD.
Finally,it's always best to just test several roms yourself in real life situations for several days,and then picking the rom which suits you best.
after playing with it a bit I'm not a big fan of sense...
I'll give miui a try, thanks

What version of MIUI do you use? There are so many I was going to wait for the updated galnetmiui ics one.
I would take the CM7 Nightly#146 and edit the .zip file and remove all the .apk files from system/app that you don't need.
That will give you a very light ROM.
Hi everyone. I would just like some suggestions ( with links if possible ) of any good ROMs out there. I've used a few before, CM7's, CoreDroid's, the ICS ROM, Android Revolution and Nik Triity sensation XL's. So if anyone knows any other cool ROM that's fast and has a good battery life, do share! THANK YOU!
If your top priority is battery life, there's no question that cm7 is as good as it gets. The best way to find roms is to go through the development forum and just keep browsing. The most active topics are the most frequently updated, while there are still good ones to find two or three pages deep. You will not find anything here that you cannot find there

+1 for MIUI. It's smooth, looks amazing, has well integrated features and paired up with a decent kernel gives excellent battery life to.
Basically if you're rooted, you're not stuck with one ROM anyway. Just give them all a go, and pick your favourite
I advise you Virtuous Affinity, if you prefer the original Sense look, and still has good battery life with Juice Defender.
I installed MIUI ICS v4 beta ROM, and it's great so far. Before I've been on older development MIUI. Try it I definetely recommend it
Virtuos affinity .. not a big fan of sense so just flash no sense script and enjoy the better battery life ..

You can see a list of ROMs with their relevant links at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463
Few of the good ones with HTC Sense (I prefer sense) are Android Revolution HD, Virtuos Affinity and Niks Trinity.
As mentioned above if you are rooted you can try them all Use titanium backup to backup your stuff on sd card before you start flashing else you will loose your data.
Thanks everyone! Will definitely be trying MIUI and the other ROMs mentioned. Cheers!
Another quick question tho, can anyone tell me if there are any ICS ROM now which is good? Good in the sense that everything works because I think one of them has the camera or camcorder not working? Not sure which but yeah.. Would love to try out an ICS ROM which works beautifully
Another vote for CM7, I am using it on my HTC Inc S and loving it.
CM7 is definitely a good choice if you don't care much about the UI looks. Htc sense is a resource hog but hey it makes your phone so much more beautiful ;-)

Well CM7 is good, but it has its drawback like the low volume in call (compared to sense ROM) and worse camera driver. I'm rocking ARHD with ROM cleaner so I can keep apps I like and remove everything else that makes it slow. Using it with ADW Ex, smooth like butter. Best of both worlds lol.
