CM7 vs GB - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was testing out my first rom (stocklite) and was wondering what is better: a stock rom or a cm7 stable rom? I'm interested in (order of importance):
1.Performance
2.Less bugs
3.Visuals (i'm tired of simple ics)

Most of those, a stable cm7 wins over stock. Performace wise, and visuals wise (theme chooser) cm7 wins.
However, cm7 roms might have specific app related bugs. Read through the rom thread to see what bugs are still present and for which apps/functions. If none of the bugs apply to your normal use, by all means go ahead and flash it.

out of the 3 parameters you said:
1. Performance- Stock rom, its less bulky, quick, and you customize more the way you want.
CM7 stable gives you more options in terms of performance.
so performance goes to CM7.
2.less bugs: Depends on the rom you use, stock rom's usually have less bugs.
3. Visuals: in CM7, most of the roms are already themed or customized.
but in the Stock rom the customization is up to you, you can theme it the way you want to.
NOTE: Adding Visuals will decrease Performance and Battery life.
It might also increase RAM usage.
if I had to choose, I'd choose a stock rom. (You can install different scripts such as Adrenaline engine, etc) you can do that on the CM7
roms also.

Performance- CM has much better performance than a stock rom
Bugs-Every rom has its particular bugs, although CM has a bit more, but overall it depends on the rom you use. I have been using CM for last 8 months, there is no bug that actually bugs me. Nut CM does gives pretty good customisation features which are absent on stock, so a few bugs can be compromised for them.
Visuals-Themes on CM via theme chooser are much easier to install and are reversible, whereas most themes on stock are flashable zips, most are permanent unless there is a zip to remove and restore old theme.
My choice is always CM, its default look is way cooler than stock. I never even add any themes on it.

Ok I think I'll flash a cm7 rom to see how it works.Thanks for your posts.

[Q] What rom?

hello all,
i have recently bought a nexus one and wondering wht i should flash? I like sense but they appearantly are all very slow. I hate miui. I like cm7 but hate its ui. What should i flash?
Sense !
I'm using the lastest sebastiaan's ROM , witha class 10 and it's perfect, the A2SD is AWESOME , no lag in game
If you have a class 10 , install now the seb's ROM , but the dowloading is very long (50 min )
Thanks
PS : you must install 4ext recovery , to use the touch installer !!!!
Depends what you like/use your phone for? I wanted ICS so I went with TexasICS, looks very nice but still has some bugs.
You should wait for stable ICS

The current Cyanogenmod 7.1 is a good choice and fairly stable.

Same here, I hate cm7's ADW stuff they use. Stock gingerbread UI is much better compared to ADW.
You can go with BuglessBeast which is mostly stock gingerbread with few additions like over clocking support.
If you want to stay bleeding edge then install MeDroid or TexasIce ICS ROMs. They both have camera and gallery issues, missing hardware acceleration and calendar sync issue.

In my opinion the GUI is nicer in ICS, but it is not yet stable enough for full time use. I haven't tried games like Angry Birds yet, but I suspect they wouldn't run well, because graphics aren't properly fixed in the port yet.
First of all ROM basically is ur choice how u wanna use ur phone.
As u said that u already used miui, y bothering trying any other ROM? It's fast stable and good looking ...
On the other hand sense ROM is also good but u always have the processing issues unless u have a high class SD card.
Bugles beast is a nice suggestion for u to use gingerbread UI with smooth and minimal usage...
PS: since I've started using miui I've not thought about any other ROM
Sent from my Nexus WON on MIUI ;-)
I've practically tried all the ROMs on here, from MIUI to Sense and I've got a few things to say.
MIUI looks like iOS in many ways, but is VERY themable. There are themes for almost anything.
CM7 (mainly samuaz's build) is a very fast and stable ROM. It basically displays the stock android experience with a minimal UI. Highly themable.
Sense: HTC's firmware now ported to the Nexus One. Features a stunning and hefty UI that takes a lot of resources. I've tried all builds here, but mainly Runny AIO and I have to say that's the best build. I love Sense. It is not really recommended to run Sense if you have a class 2 SD card like I do, but I'll upgrade it for a class 6 one tomorrow.
Ice Cream Sandwich/Cyanogenmod 9. Very hyped, but with all rights to it. ICS and/or CM9 are totally awesome ROMs and well worth trying out, despite their flaws. Even with no real hardware acceleration, they're awesome. Use texasice's version if you want near-stock ICS experience with a pinch of evervolv tweaks and use samuaz's build if you want a Cyanogenmod 9 experience. Sometime this year, we'll get an official CM9 build from the Cyanogenmod team, but texasice and samuaz have done an amazing job with porting ICS to us.
Other AOSP builds. These builds also kind of displays the stock android experience, but with user added features and frameworks. Some are based partly on Cyanogenmod 7 while others are based on something else. Bugless Beast and OxygeN1mod are among the best in this category.
You're free to choose what ROM suits you best, but my vote goes to Runny AIO or any of the two ICS builds.
Cheers.

Alternative to Enoms Rom
I am still running Enoms Rom on my N1. This is the most stable and battery effecient Rom I have tried. The problem is that its quite old (Froyo). I was thinking of going to ICS but the stability just isnt there yet. I am thinking of going to Gingerbread instead. Can someone here recommend a good Gingerbread Rom similar to Enoms? I am mainly looking for 720p HTC camera, trackball wake and led notification. Stability and battery life are important as well.

Me either, and i can't see that ever changing. It really is the best of all worlds. It's unbelievably smooth, stable and pretty as hell. Core apps are vast improvements over that which are found in other ROMs.

Best STOCK like rom?

I've went back to latest official ROM, 2.3.3 JVH NEE, released in Sweden by Samsung because I got tired to always hunt for the perfekt kernel and the perfect ROM.
Now I know why I started looking for other ROM's.. It's lags when playing musik via Spotify while you surf the net, slow over all respons in UI, I know it's slow due to RFS and I've converted to EXT4, but I'm not fully satisfied.
I want a as near STOCK ROM att possible and stable as original (Yes, the latest Swedish ROM, 2.3.3 JVH, is the most stable ROM I've used and got the best battery time, even tho it's slow.).
Does you know of any ROM that meet these requirements? I would like to not feel the difference if I rebooted my phone yesterday or two weeks ago.

I would recommend you to try SAUROM JVU ROM. It's almost close to stock with huge loads of modifications integrated.
Yes, I would also go for SAUROM if it comes for a close to stock GB ROM. One of the benefits it has over many other Samsung-based ROMs is the integration of JKAY Mod that allows you to customize status bar buttons and power menu. Plus in the newest version it has some handy quick link buttons in the notification drawer.
Thank you guys, I'll take a look at Saurom.
___SAUROM___
I've also tried so many diff ROMs.
All I really wanted is nice working stock ROM.
Tried so many. Did not try SAUROM, cause this is a new one, but tried many SAUROM like. I mean ROMS, that claim that they are just like the stock, but better.
CM was fine, but it was also very complicated. And had some bugs.
Really stupid. I could not sync with google e.g.
Finally I ended up with MIUI. Surprisingly for myself.
Clean, nice, fast, easy swype customization and install.
Here are some screens:
http://db.tt/0gh5gInG
MIUI+Go launcher
It works fast, no lags, no freezes, nothing bad.
GSM works fine, GPS is super fast and accurate, battery is OK.
Finally I don't need to tweak my phone any more.

MIUI & Cyanogen are the real custom ROMS. All the rest are stock-based with tweaks and customization. Saurom is highly customizable compared to the other stock based. But if this doesn't matter to you, you can try Darky's latest ROM from his website. I currently use MIUI Rom, you can try the MINTBerry edition (Which I use ), available on the forum. And I would go for Saurom regarding stock based. Good Luck.

Nightly build still updated, real AOSP, less lag than stock, massive possibilities for customizations.
I've had JVH for some time, later JVU, now latest CM7.2 RC0 with CM7 kernel.
Changed to JVO modem (siky_dude has links to many flashable modems) to fix Hello-Hello-Bug. Better than JVK modem.
T9 dialer, better UI translation than JVU even for Norwegian, native keyboard support nor. + swe. + +
Don't flash each nightly (stress battery time?) but check changelog for interesting fixes. Most of the fixes are not even notable in every day use. Flashing new nightly WILL keep ALL settings, market apps, sms, data... Just clear cache/dalvik/prior flashing, fix permission post flashing.
BTW: ALL ROMs have some lag

I'll try MIUI first(http://roms.miui.us/2.2.17/MIUI.us_galaxysmtd_2.2.17_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed.zip), never tried it but heard mutch about it.
Btw. Tried both the f1 and surface (like f1). Managed to **** up each in less than 2 weeks. Darky ROM was easy. Destroyed it in one week

MIUI Mintberry 2.2.17 Close to perfection. No... definitely not. It is perfect.
I've been using the MIUI mintberry for a few weeks and it's so frickin' amazing. First impression was "oh this is beautiful" then i noticed it was fast. Few days passed and the battery life seemed great. I did some benchmarks and surprised by the results.
I would highly recommend for you to try that one!

I'd go for DarkyRom... It worked pretty well for me, bur then I discovered MIUI Roms and they are much better!!
DarkyRom isnt a fully custom Rom. Its a stock samsung edited. There are only 2 custom gb roms. MIUI and Cyanogenmod7 and they run much faster ofcourse. Im a CM fan either way

Not the right forum for this question.
In my opinion, however, rooting will not really improve the speed of the phone. A fresh install of android (rooted or otherwise) will afford performance boosts simply because its less cluttered with apps and whatnot.
That being said, there are tons of great roms out right now. If the phone is on gingerbread bootloaders, you may want to try some older GB roms that have been highly tuned for the captivate. Ice cream sandwich roms are pretty good as well right now, though as many OPs have said, simply installing the latest OS does not magically give your phone a second core and double its RAM.
tl;dnr: Look a few pages back for a gingerbread rom and follow the instructions for the most stable and fast option. If you want to try to ICS, I think its pretty good at the moment. Never had any speed issues on my captivate and I use AOKP Build 26 currently.
Here, I'll just cut straight to the point for you
1. Cyanogenmod 9 - If you want a (somewhat) clean ICS look along with decent stability and speed.
2. Doc's ICS Rom v5 - If you want the samsung touchwiz interface.
Take your pick. Those are the best roms out there imo. Or you could always try MIUI.us
Get Serendipity 7! Best battery life I've ever had, fast and amazingly stable. Not the best GUI when compared to roms like MIUI, but it's a good solid ROM.
You could also get MIUI, but it's not quite as stable and it's a bit slower. I just like it cause the themes are awesome and I'm a customization freak.

Normally "best rom" threads are shutdown, there is no best, only opinion, BUT.. "best for your wife", I get the point! LOL
2.2 based rom - firefly 3.0 rom with onix kernel flashed after - hands down best way to go for useability and battery.
Gingerbread 2.3 based roms - there are quite a few to choose from, from stock feeling to many added features. pick one built on KK4
ICE CREAM SANDWICH roms
CM roms are packed with features but has a long list of bugs. probably not the best choice for your wife. *CM7 is gingerbread base CM9 is ICS based
AOSP is google stock. - pretty nice and stable
AOKP is stock plus new features. - really nice and stable *with glitch kernel added after and nstools installed. - what i run! PM me if you want a link to this rom prebuilt with glitch kernel and a few added extras for easier install.
Dude, please read. It isn't that hard. If 11 and 10 year olds are doing this every day, then you should be able to do this no sweat. If you read the only OneClicks you will see are SauROM and stock ROM's. Others have to be flashing using Odin or CWM recovery. If you don't know what that is then you need to search and read some more... Sorry but this is how everyone learns, at least it used to be until people just came in here expecting things to be handed to them. And that is why XDA dev's are leaving and keeping their work to themselves...
stock? really?
I'd disagree with stock ROM being the best. After fixing so many GB KK4 bugs...
And if you run any of my ROMs you WILL have better performance, because all PNGs are reduced to 256 colors. And JPGs, mp3s and oggs are processed too. Then repacked with KZip. Jars repacked with Kzip too. Overall smaller and faster system.
I share it only from my good heart, and since it is really based on other people work. Enjoy peeps!
And I can process Apex GB if there is interest...
Thank you so much for your answer. I will do some reading.
Thanks again friend.

My ROM, mosaic, has an Odin flashable version, not a one click but its only like 1 more step to load the .tar into the pda slot into Odin.
I agree you should read up and know what you're doing. Just throwing that out there...
If you choose an ICS based ROM you should be aware of this issue forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303. It seems to be randomly effecting captivate phones. I'm not saying this will happen but if it does you will have two options:
1) Face a steep learning curve (that installing a custom ROM seem trivial) and still only have partial phone functionality due to no internal SD card.
2) Just upgrade to a new phone if able & willing.
I think the latest ICS ROMS are not very prone to that issue. I'd go with Doc's Master ICS v6, tons of functionality out of the box and customizable if you're so inclined.

Doc's V6 is based on AOKP 4.0.3; I was using Dark Night 3 which is based on AOKP 4.0.4 when I had this problem. Therefore, I was actually using a more recent ROM than the one you are recommending. There are plenty of people out there using ICS without any problems and it may work great for the OP; I just think it should be an informed decision.
For my wife's phone I keep kk4 roms on it, they are all good.

I would have to agree with the statement that there is no best. Everyone has a different expectation for what a rom should do and be. With that being said I will offer my opinion on a starting point for your wife. SimplyStockV2.0 is what I'm currently running. I've used several others and so far this is my favorite. As you can see from the name it is very similar to stock minus all the junk that never needed to be there and a custom settings option within the regular settings. Battery life is good and it has run faster than a couple other roms I've used that claimed to be "fast". Good luck.

[Q] Best ICS ROM so far

Hi,
i'd like to know what is the best ICS Rom so far for LG O2x...
Last time i installed O2x ROM from NOVA kernel but still having some issues with:
1. Receptions / Signals (Specifically 3G/HSDPA)
2. Still get forced closed on some of the apps..
I am thinking about changing the kernel as well, but not too sure which kernel to use and how to install it (Presumably just download the *.zip and flash it through recovery).
Any suggestion?
p.s Since i am new here, i am unable to reply/post thread on development forum
i'm running novahd and no force closes so far. signal strength is ok even in bad signal areas. everything runs pretty much stable, except noticeable lag in comparison to cm7 or gingerbread whatsoever.
i'm keeping an eye on eaglesblood as it's not cm based (pure aosp) and looks like V20 basebands & rils are working, but didn't tried it yet.
yes, kernel installation goes thru cwm recovery. just choose install zip from sdcard and run it. jarvis kernel seems less stable than novahd kernel; didn't tried harsh and hp kernels yet but will in next few days.
Also running nova HD for me it works very good! Since v1.1 no random shutdowns anymore with nova kernel. Best battery runtime since ever!

I'm trying out the eaglesblood rom and so far i'm finding it good, better reception than I was getting on CM7 and it seems like fewer bugs too. Really enjoying having ICS on my phone at last though

I'm on tamasek's CM7 and I+m loving it, its very stable and quick, no problems whatsoever.
I never tried one of the ICS roms because TBH I never found ICS that appealing, never thought it was anything special so I dont want to change from CM7 until CM9 gets as good as it can. JB, however, I cant wait to try.

solely based on some of the software tweaks to add speed, its probably the most stable ICS rom you can find for our phone.
best to keep with a good all round stable fast rom like DjangoManouche
but if you like trying out new things work away. ^.^

The good thing about Android is that you can try every ROM whenever you want. It just takes a few minutes. Install those ROMs and see which one best fits on your device.
Remember that every ICS ROM (CM9 and unofficial releases) don't work perfectly. For instance, hardware acceleration does not work on those ROMs.
If you want a more stable ROM you can try the unofficial release from temasek here. It is based on CM 7.2.
Just give each n every one a try and see which one best suits you....never hurts does it?
You should test each rom, so you can find out which fits to your needs.. don't be afraid to test a new rom, just do an nandroid backup and everything will be fine

Looking For Better UI and Apps ROM
I am searching for rom which has complete Look & Feel of Samsung Galaxy S3 & LG Optimus 4x HD.
It should be two different roms. Which has similar Launcher,User Interface, Stock Apps , Similar Calling Messaging features etc.
In short a complete Look & Feel of these type of hugely running phones. Till now all the ICS roms made by devs are based on Stock ICS Roms. It will be better to switch it to these types of modifications also.
Thank You

No I know that but its not complete look and feel i cant get stock apps of these phones through GO Launcher
I wanted a ROM like this which is used in Samsung Galaxy S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129404 - This ROM has complete look and feel of Samsung Galaxy S2
I flashed NOVA HD, but after some days of regular usage it started lagging. Apps took too long to open.
Later I flashed Indroid Remics, the ROM settings on this ROM is very comprehensive and there are many tweaks included which can be customized. (sticking to it, till I find some thing better)
I like the NOVA HD and XXMrHyde, but stock browser and Dolphin HD crash a lot.
I am using Owain94 Domination 79, browser not crash.
Hellfire runs well. NoHW Acceleration, no HD Record, a no Go for me. Im back on Official cm7.
All runs how it should. On Nova, i had massive lags, especially by heavily multitasking.
Wait for Official ics. Then Ics Based Customs made Sense

I liked XXMrHydes build with jarvis kernel when I was using ics.

Rock stable and close to stock ROM

I just rooted a friend's phone and was wondering what would you recommend me. He doesn't know how to change ROMs so I am looking for something rock stable, close to stock, nothing fancy, just something that works without any problems.
It depends on what type of experience you want. Are you looking to alleviate some of the issues that plagued the stock ROM with its poor I/O response time? What is your reason for replacing stock if you want something similar to stock?
CM7 or CM10 are both good ROMs; CM7 significantly improves the performance over stock, it has the same UI as Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread and it had extra (useful) features.
CM10 is out of alpha now (I think) and provides the latest Android experience, similar to what you would get on a new phone. ICS/JB was a significant redesign over the ROM that was stock for SGS.
I'm not satisfied with CM ROMs, I ran them on both my HTC Desire and Nexus S and they didn't feel smooth. I want something stock with basic root settings.
The reason he wanted a custom ROM was because his phone was heating much and rebooted.
I would say Slim ICS with the setup on my sig.. first ICS rom ive been using after GB and just loving it, VERY stable and smooth, Only downside that pop ups on my mindd right now is you cant record 720p video if you want more RAM with the bigmem patch enabled.. BUT thats only IF you want it enabled
