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 froyomod ... the fastest rom available

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

very snappy!

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!

My 2 cents.

Ok, you are not going to like this, but I just have to share my experiance with the 4.0.X series.
None, is good enough for daily use, yet.
Example: In my car, BT on, GPS on and incoming call hangs. Total lock up, random reboot. Messages: Contact process do not answere, would you like to terminate process. FB, same. Go Launcher, same.. other apps, same. Had ardx or CK kernal. No hyper settings, nothing more than on a regular GB rom.
I am starting to have dissbelieves on 4.X.X on this device. Reason? CPU and RAM in combination of looked up drivers our excellent developers can't get their hands on and mix/crossovers from other devices ports
Question: Is there anyone loobying / connected to Qualcomm/Huawei?
What can I do?
Please, this IS NOT any critique to anyone involved with any rom, port, dev, member or post. Just a question on where we are heading.

Same my thoughts and that is the reason I'm still on GB (Bumblebee), I was getting lot of Launcher Redraws also on 4.0.4 and all the other problems which you mentioned and the culprit is our RAM which is not even 512mb (only 351 or 356MB), if you switch off running background processes then what's the use of a smartphone without multi tasking.

Hi chrillefr...Have you tried IceCold 8.0...Before this ROM I had the same feeling what you have now...but since this ROM has come I have tried other ROM's experimenting but I revert back to this ROM.
Your feedback on this?...Our developers are working hard to get the perfect ROM for this phone.

And forgot to mention...If you have any issues with the launchers...try 360 with IceCold 8.0 it is good.

.. yes, a bit of that in my mind. I know dev's are working their ass of to get all of this together and I'm blessed to take part of it too. Also, I'm thinking about "less" important features such as FM and full cam support, compiling kernals etc but I feel a bit helpless not being able to contribute more than on a philosophical level...

I'm on Milestone, CK kernel and it works pretty well while not under too much stress. I have 1200 Ghz, smartassV2, 409? in SD read ahead and scrolling cache default. Still as mentioned above, how much will we be able to put into this phone and still have it multitasking? Is the cost of cam, FM and so on the price we have to pay? Also, what can I do? Don't dev, just leach...

hi
i think it depends on what u want.like if ur req is just the basics like me
im sure the matBLK provided CM9 A99 ending with the no 610 should be good enough i have been using it for a long time and have had no FC or any problems with it .My feeling is that is is very much a daily use ROM
but then i just need the basics thats all:laugh:

Multitasking, cam, BT and GPS and no wait state is what I need for daily use. Cam corder and front cam if possible.
Now, battery is good, sound and tether too.
Lets say I want to relie on my phone around others, not necessary stand out but not die on me like an old car that I don't know if it takes me from A to B.
Roms are getting larger both on cpu and gpu, just as computers and I guess we are getting closer to the limit with this one. So build light.
Sent from my A99 using xda app-developers app

Very true bro.
After extensively testing most of the roms in this forum, especially the ics ones, I've finally gone back to Sharp Rom fix 1, as most of the ics roms are not really designed for our device and though the Devs are doing there best to make it work but let's face is, I don't think our device can take that much any more. I personally multitask a lot and its very annoying and embarrassing when it fcs or reboot while your trying to show something to someone. As for me I think am gonna stick with Sharp for a while till something comes out of all the ics roms. I've asked if ck could make his kernel compatible with sharp cos I fill that will make it great.
Also don't you guys think most of these roms that aren't really meant for our phones that we regularly flash can be detrimental to the health of our phones at the long run? Like Chris will say, just my 2 cents lol.
This is just my personal opinion and am sorry if it makes some peep feel bad.

As Wesleyel said I also feel that ICS is not running smooth on our devices, I still feel that CPU and GPU are quite capable of running it but RAM is really giving us a headache, you can see that lot of 1ghz or less phones are running ICS nicely like ZTE Blade, skate, some Huawei phones also.... anyhow presently would like to stay on GB and will like to see what Jelly Beans port come to our devices by the devs

Well, I call this good news bcause I had a Blade before this. So now I can recommend ICS to them too. Any special port you'd suggest? Again, good to see you around!

Can't suggest any special port but blade.Modaco.com is very active, you can go through it,but I think these 3 are good

*KonstaKONG
*AOKP-CM9 Remix RC 6.6.9

Thanks again, Master!

Zeus rom or CM10

I know that there are many experienced people her like Nooby, huexxx.. (that i know, maybe there are others too..)
I wanted to ask there are many users that have experienced both of them, in your opinion which one is better for normal use. Plus what is comparison between them

Let's say experianced noob ^^ well for a basic user, you can in fact use both... more battery, stock stability and compatibility are on zeus side. About more features and feeling cool and wanting the latest, take CM10 But you really should at least try both or even more. It took me really long to decide and in fact i am still changing quite often, to check out new features and development. Just install one, set it up to your needs, try/test it, back it up, flash another one, try it and decide whats best for you. You should also try ICS repack. If sms works fine for you, it should be one of the best daily drivers available till now (at least I liked pretty much, but sms doesnt work for me...) so have fun

I used zeus for performance and stability.. now im using cm10 for the looks and new feeling

I've already tried both and I can honestly said that Zeus is my fav. CM10 is still very buggy...

I used Zeus untill Aokp ics was released and now i'm on Aokp jb and i have tried cm10 to.
If you want stability use Zeus.
If you want to be up to date use cm10

well said by nooby and romwiz
zeus is more stable and cm10 is still a little buggy
i personally stopped using zeus since a week and am pretty happy with miui and cm10
if you don't game much, go cm10
if you game, go zeus and it has the same looks

I have tried both of them.
personally, i think Zeus is more suitable for me. It has a better performance and stability.
However, if u want to try the new functions, just go for cm10...
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk 2

I think ZEUS is for daily use (6.4 or 7.03) and all ICS, CM10 or whatever, you'll have to make some compromise in using your phone (no gps or no video, not being able to install the apps you want...).

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change the notification bar's function shortcuts in zeus, like in cm??

It's possible. Use the quick panel icon in the application drawer.

[Q] In search of a Gingerbread ROM

Hello, community
I've got a Galaxy S and I'm running 4.1.2 Jellybean. I'm thinking of going back to Gingerbread and I'm wondering if you have any links to a good and stable GB ROM with very good battery life? that would be great. Preferably one that takes skins and looks like ICS or JB.
Thank you, :good:

Personally I find Mandana rom to be very satisfying in terms of speed, battery and stability. Haven't had once single random reboot of fc since flashing it 1 month ago.

Why do you want to go back? I see no reason to it, cause battery is much better than on gingerbread, cause Cm10 can use gpu to render the ui, so CPU is not at full frequency all the time, it can rest while gpu is working hard
One more reason to stay at Cm10 the compatibility, cause a few apps now only support ice cream sandwich and higher

ROM for Optimus 2X?

I tried the Optimus Thrust and Gueste cm7 and cm7 but I am Not satisfied at all! Which one is the best Rom for this phone? Are there any smooth roms with good battery life and short charging time? Im now on old bl but I can simply Update it so no matter about that.

1. Best rom threads aren't allowed here
2. But to answer your question, there is never one ideal rom. It's a personal preference. What I'd suggest is, look at the few popular roms, like one each on ics, cm10, cm10.1 which are trending currently on the forum(browse in the development section to know more, but don't ask in those threads "is this rom best or better than that other rom" etc.) , and give those a try one by one. Settle on your favorite one among those.
Most out here would agree that there is no best, there is a user's personal favorite. Henceforth, a request and an appeal to other new users to not create a similar thread and use this as a reference.
Regards

I personally think that stock gingerbread is the best one, i know it looks like awful due to LG UI Skins but, my back to life O2x is running like a fresh phone now. CM7 as you mentioned is very good at performance but not at battery life, after my O2x bricked when i was trying to install stock ICS, i was using Nova HD and it is pretty awesome, but i think they stopped the development. If you have any question, you can ask me, i will be glad to help you!:victory:

As was explained above, the 'best threads' aren't allowed, one reason, it's avoid discussions since every person has a different opinion based on usage, installed apps, installed mods, etc.
I'll close this to avoid more related posts...
