Stock rom or cm7

Hi I'm currently running topogigis rom but was wondering if there was any real advantages or disadvantages if i moved to cm7?

I like CM7 best. I have found one stable one for me and it got all I need. Its snappy and fast and drains little battery. Topogigi is really good too but I just like cm7 so damn much.

nightlies !
stable release is nothing else than a nightlybuild considered stable, but outdated at the moment, since it´s over 2 weeks old and a lot of new commits are in the new nightlies ...

Cool ill try that. Now if only i could stop the vibrate in recovery... :-(

oh, you´re one of the guys with the vibrating recovery ...
strange problem ... i guess nobody knows whats causing this only for some people ...

Ok installed the latest nightly just a couple of quirks
Camera video performance is really poor must only be recording at 10 fps
SD card write is very slow 5mbps and they are mounted the wrong way
no voodoo sound overclocking what's the best kernal to try?
Also the apps icon is missing in the dock how can I put it back?

I'm sad no one showed any miui love. I tried cm7 and got tired of trying to keep up with nightlies and different versions with its own set of problems. I tried to change kernel and got bsod and so on.
Then I learned about miui with tweak pack thats in this forum. Pure awesomeness. Even the setup is so easy.
1) backup your current setup for safety
2) rom manager go to miui.us and get latest version and wipe all data and cache and install it
3) boot into miui once at least then reboot into recovery
4) in recovery flash the tweak zip file and reboot your phone and your done
You have a badass kernel with tweaks added on miui and it is smoooooth like silk. I personally like miui because it has built in apps for file manager and network monitor and all those basic things that you expect a phone to have now, I hate having to download third party apps for basic things and they come with ads and look nothing like the phones interface. With miui now I have a phone that I can show my friends and it looks nothing like an iphone or an android. Its the best of everything. Not just good looks but inside its tweaked to perfection and proper battery usage along with overclock. No need for setcpu and those battery apps.

Hows the camera on miui as I use the camcorder alot with the kids so unless I can get the camcorder functioning correctly ill probably go back to topogigi

Im currently using the "semi-official 2.3.4" rom from jboxer, which is stock based taken from another LG phone with the same hardware as the G2x. and it works perfectly, faster than stock 2.3.3..
only issues i have is the camera, stock android camera on G2x is no where near as good as the stock LG 2.2 cam. you can flash the LG cam V3 that is floating around, but then you compromise the functionality of the FFC, and that really takes a toll on the gtalk video chatting (which is the main benefit of using any 2.3.4 rom.
GPS locks on really fast too (big plus)
hope this helps you with your decision making

I would like to prove many rooms, but I use FM radio a lot, so for now, I cannot move from TOPOGIGI room

I replaced the camera in miui with the cm7 one with the fancy high bitrate and stuff. There's a tweak pack where forum user higsy has posted the camera from cm7 that you can use to replace the miui camera

The tweak pack from owain includes fix for google talk video with front camera. Only thing I did not get working was youtube which faja sent a link for an older version and its working fine now.

does this tweak pack work on any Rom? specifically the jboxer semi-officail 2.3.4 one?
if so can you provide a link, I cant seem to find it, did a search but had no luck

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263311
This tweak pack is only for miui and includes a kernel. You need miui + tweak pack and thats it.
The kernel on its own is called swiftextreme and that might work with other rom's I am not sure you have to post on that thread to get reply for the guys who make it.

Milestone rom reccomendation

Hi guys, I myself am a G2 user, but months ago I loaded cm7 onto my friends milestone, while he does enjoy it he mentioned to me he has a lot of random reboots/freezes etc. It has cm 7.0.0 on it, I'm assuming it wasn't very stable then.
What I would like to ask is what rom would you all reccomend for speed and features? Myself I'm a huge cm fan, but don't know much about the milestones limits. If someone could confirm the newer ports of cm7 work better? I see 7.1.0.2 is here.
Looking forward to your guys thoughts and advice on the matter.
Cheers!
Edit. Or if there's another rom you'd recomend!

Try MIUI
I am using Miui 1.10.21, built on Gingerbread 2.3.7
Its a superb ROM, except, it is overclocked to 1Ghz.
I will not recommend overclocking as a safe practice.
Except that its smooth, beautiful & works perfect

haha good one, I have a G2 also and using some times the milestone.
I'm running froyomod 2.9.2. In my humble opinion, its kind of slow... I never really use the milestone with the stock rom, so I cant compare. But if I compare with my G2 with unity rom, the moto is slow @ 800 mhz.
But at least froyomod is ultra stable and has a good battery life.
I'll maybe try this week miui, I'll see.

I am using the original from Miui.
It support ota update.
I copied over all the file in init.d from DannyDroid rom.
Everything run smoothly. Memory ~70mb

I really love MIUI too. Fresh install of MIUI is fast but after some time it becomes a little slower than others roms.

Is MIUI gpu accelerated?

I don't face this kind of problem. Is there a lot of background process running?
Normally, i will kill off the facebook, whatapps and other unrelated process when not using them.

Thnx for the help guys, I flashed the latest cm7 kang for him since he was accustomed to cm7 already, since 7.0.0 it has come leaps and bounds, very snappy and he's getting a full 18 hours of heavy usage. He's happy, I'm happy. Thanks for all the input, tho I don't regularly frequent this device forum its great to know it contains helpful users just like my g2/dz forum. Thanx again guys!

No. Won't work because of the different KGSL drivers (this is the only change anyway).
For what reason did you want to try this?

Till now pretty smooth and rock solid, hardly any fc's.
Only problem i found is the render glitch, which makes browsing and maps and gmail almost unuseable.
So if you need the features like cam and previous stated, i wouldnt recommend it. Remember its an alpha and not a beta or stable

Was interested to try this as I much rather prefer your own aosp Alpha 2.1,rather than the cyanogen mod port.Would be nice to get hw acceleration,but nvm.
Something I am very looking forward though is the 4.0 & sense 3.5 hybrid,especially when we consider we could de-sense it and still have stable,camera working Rom.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

I've been using St.Matt's ICS Alpha build for a couple of weeks now and have enjoyed the ride so far.
With the latest release and the native HW acceleration, I am willing to forego the omission of a camera.
There is the rather annoying Browser rendering issue and a couple of glitches with the graphics sometimes but it works amazingly otherwise.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

I think it works great it is smooth but there are some glitches. but having said that the glitches and not having the ability to use my 8mp dual flash camera..... lol, is not kind of a pain in the butt. so i will be waiting for htc to release the camera kernal so we can fix this bug and begin our journey onto the ICS platform.
This is just my person opinion some others may disagree and say that the camera bug is ok and they are willing to forgo this problem and use it anyways. Me not so much but like i said i am eagerly awaiting the fixes and cant wait to see what the amazing devs can conjure up in there magic pots lol.
hope this helped you.

I agree with the above... but it was nice to give it a test run. koodos dev team

Is it just custom roms do you think? I don't think many people have had issues with stock ics phones.glad to see someone else has this issue!

You mean like, there's a bug on ics when using the virtual joysticks in games? I played several games like dark legends, real football 2012. Joysticks are not functioning properly! Dungeon Hunter worked for me.

Is this a dev issue or an app issue? It's probably at the bottom of the list, can anyone offer a fix without reverting back to gb? Has anyone tried fpse or multi touch gaming on the New stock WWE release?

Yes I had this issue with multiple ROMs
Codename Android, Jelly bean evolution, Ice Cold sandwich, Paranoid Android, Nik's project X, Nik's Aura Rebirth Sense4a (my current ROM)
The issue was not present however in the CM7.2 ROM ( worked great for games)
The issue occurred while playing games like Overkill, SAS3, GunZombie etc
I even had the issue come up while testing with Multitouch testing app (off the Market)
I finally found a solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887379
This guy "HUNTERWU" helped me out with this new kernel for Sense 3.6 or 4 based ROM.
Now i can enjoy games AND the Sense experience.

Suggest a ROM

Hi all,
I have been flashing each n every rom which is released here.. All r gud n unique.
But m looking for a rom which gives the best battery life.
I use Internet a lot... I mean a lot... Over 3g as well as wifi... I get some 10 calls a day... Online video and audio streaming of two hours. Auto sync is active always.. What's app, LinkedIn and Facebook... All together say two hours a day..
Suggest a rom which can handle all these usage.
Currently using cm10 dla..
I charge thrice a day.. Battery drains like butter..

I think cm7 and ARHD are the best for battery life but they are probably not enough for your use. If you prefer jelly bean I would suggest one of the cm10.1 since they are a little better than cm10 in terms of battery life

You should try ARHD 5.0... Its looks like Stock rom bt its awsm for battery life...

Cm7 would be too out dated... Anything advance.. I like sense and cm both.. Will give a try to arhd... Can anyone post a video link of arhd.. But i feel arhd is still old... Its sense 3.6 where as we have roms with 4.1 now.. Guys suggest more roms..

I'm using CM 10.1 jelly time, battery performance is not that good, other than that, it works fine...
Regarding, battery, I'm not sure whether it's because of google now function...

I found that if you enabled GPS, then GPS seems always working there even after you closed the map app and switch off the GPS signal, and drains a lot of juice of battery..
did you guys found similar problem?

i think Packman 20 will be good option

Try some battery saving measures in a CM10 build. Disabling Google Now and location reporting should increase battery by a lot.

Sense 4.1 ROMs are slow on the incredible s. Use ARHD, it's a great ROM which I have been using for the last few months. CM7 is also great, even though it's a little old, CM7 gives the best battery over anything.

Just look at the LARGE amount of thanks Mike has received from developping ARHD. There isnt a need for words to describe how great it is
But back for real, ARHD is fully stock with speed tweaks here and there. If you remember your experience (if u had one) on ICS with Sense 3.6, just look back at that, and then imagine it being about 3 or 4 times smoother

Sabsa Prime is a fantastic rom.

Thread Closed
As you can tell, everyone is going to have a different opinion on this, so we generally close these types of threads before the conversations devolve. Please try all the ROMs and choose the one you like best. I personally change between different ROMs at different times as no one ROM is "best" all the time since they all evolve over time with different features and their associated problems. Purchasing Titanium Backup along with doing regular nandroid backups has proved very beneficial to make the changeovers fairly painfree and ensure I don't lose anything.
Thank you,
