Hello
I am relatively new to this forum but I have a question anyway. Which is better CyanogenMod 7 or the stock Android 2.1-Update1 on the X8 (E15i)?
Also what are the main differences between CM7 and stock Android 2.1 (e.g. is CM7 faster...)?
And finally can someone provide a link to the best CyanogenMod 7, by best I mean most stable and good features.
Thanks in advance.

Stock Android 2.1 is Eclair.
CM7 or Cyanogen 7 is Gingerbread i.e 2.3
The difference between Eclair and Gingerbread is HUGE !!
Many apps require Android 2.2+ like Voice Search etc , and CM7 serves the purpose.
Thanks to devs like doixanh & HAKA , we got excellent CM7 based ROMS which have functionalities like app2sd , custom animations , acceleration rotation settings , back button for ending calls , notification power widgets , center clock options , change the style of battery icon , signal display , render effects , screen-shots ,a variety of in-built screen-locks , boot animation disable , status bar slide brightness control , bottom status bar and lots more....
To be honest , if you need an absolutely bugless ROM , stay on stock.
If you don't care about the very very minor irrelevant bugs (which have no impact on the working of the phone) , then go for CM7
These are the two most famous Cyanogen 7 based ROMS -->

Thanks, the links you gave me, will they work on my phone (I live in the UK) or will there be network problems. I don't know much about custom ROMs...

The links I gave you will require your phone to be rooted. It doesn't matter where you live.
Here is a guide to help you.

There should be no problems at all. I used almost every ROM on this forum , and to be honest , I do not remember any network problems on them
Thanks for the help guys; really appreciate it.
With the information provided I think I am ready to upgrade (very) soon.
Hi, fellow Noters!
I have the N7000 Note, with stock GB ROM installed and only rooted, flashed with abyss kernel.
I am in the UK, so I am considering updating/upgrading to ICS... Now, from most of the posts here I gather that most of custom ICS ROMs aren't yet the most stable and people who installed the official ICS have mixed reactions...
Don't get me wrong- I am completely satisfied with my Note and the functionality of the apps as it is, but was just wondering how much improvement would I see, if I installed ICS...
Also, if I want to install official ICS ROM, do I need to unroot first and then flash it with ICS, or just straight on?
Thanks and enjoy the weekend!
Ics is suffing from the brickbug for now, that is not to mention other issues such as baterry drain. So if you are still satiafied with gb then should hold on unrik tge brixk bug is cleared. Cheers.

If you want to do an update ics stock , you have to flash with odin 1.85 the rom that you prefere..... it is not necessary performing unroot...
I'm still running GB as it's running great. Nothing really worth upgrading to ICS.

Stay with GB. If you desperately wants ICS then flash CM9 or PA.
If you want to stay on a Touchwiz rom, then it may be better to stick with Gingerbread as it has less bugs that the TW ICS counterparts. However I would thoroughly recommend AOKP or CyanogenMod 9 if you truly want ICS; it has almost all features fully working (including camera, tethering and full access to all storage) and are both extremely light and quick. Plus both support themeing and have a wealth of customization options.
As for the brick bug, that has been almost eradicated IF you use a safe kernel such as Speed mod 3.3. Of course the worry is non existent on AOSP roms.

Right... Thanks guys for your input!
I am in no rush to get to ICS, as pretty much all the visual stuff can be achieved through some extra launchers and themes while still staying with stock GB ROM.
I am pretty much happy with TouchWizz, but find the Go launcher a bit more faster and easier to use. I go to TW only when I need S Memo and that stuff from the suite...
so, until the bug in the official ICS ROM is fixed, or a very stable custom ICS ROM made, I will stick with GB...

so you say that flashing Cyanogmod9 rom and Speedmod 33 is a good bet?
can you give instructions on just how to do just that.I've never flashed anything before, but I do have lies and Odin on my PC already and both can see my note.
thanks

He, he, he... you mean Kies?
I also sometimes mistype words and it is annoying when the result is actually a proper word, so it completely can confuse the recipient of the SMS, for instance...
I wonder if there are alternatives to the current ordering of letters on keyboards, you know-instead of ASDF-JKLsomething...
yeah.. typing on the note.
using GB keyboard with autospell ..
messes me up alot,cause I rarely proofread.
I Still would like to install the safe Cynamiod 9 and speed mod 33 if someone could walk me thru it.
thanks
Hello, this is my first question since almost every doubt I had about my LG phones had been cleared before by the developers and contributors.
I have an LG P970 and have tried various roms, I can't decide for one.
I like the stability from Stock roms, but I miss the customization from CM10 for example. At the time im using JellyBam (which is based on CM10)
Anyways, my question is: Is the LED notifications on CM10 coded on the Kernel, or is it somewhere?
Will it be somewhere in time a Kernel for Stock ICS that support such notifications?
I havent found any request or topic about this notifications. I dont know if nobody uses them or the people give them for granted and don't care for stock roms.
If anyone could give more light on this topic..
I would love to see LED notifications on V30B
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I read in androidcentral that the feature is coded on the framework. Whats does this mean? Is it on the framework apk?

all this mods can be made ,, probably heuxxx will launch zeus ics soon , it will contains these probably
Hey, thanks for the reply!
Lets hope Heuxxx can launch its ROM sometime soon..
Do you know if its coded on kernel or in the framework? (Just Curious, because I can't do nothing about it, since I dont have any coding knowledge)
By the way I'm following your ROM Nemesis. I probably flash it today to try photoshpere, since I put the 4.2 camera in JellyBam and got very bad freezes.
Thanks again.
Hey guys,
I was just wondring..
Kitkat and JB were not intended to be for the SGS.. But how do they "cope" with it?
Do KK and JB just provide the fun of the latest Android versions while decreasing performance? Or are all Android versions pretty much the same as they are moded to fit SGS?
In very simple words: Are lower Android versions (As back as the official 2.3.6 if I am correct) better for SGS?
Thank you.
more or less the same performance.
it's not that the phone is slow - just those apps and games are getting heavier

Are you sure? Because there is that partitioning thing that is different from version to version.. I dont know if there are any more major differences but I guess that the partitioning is one of them.
How do they even make versions like KK for SGS? I mean.. If it works on SGS, why wouldn't Samsung/Google release it for SGS?
1.Android is open source.That's how SGS got ics,jb,kk.
2.Shamesung doesn't care about happy users after their official support ends.They are pushing you to buy a new phone to enjoy latest&greatest.It's a pure business.

PC's are open source too.. Not all of them can get the latest updates and versions of Windows..
And again: "Are you sure? Because there is that partitioning thing that is different from version to version.. I dont know if there are any more major differences but I guess that the partitioning is one of them."
I dont think there is a logical reason from Samsung not to release the latest versions of Android to their "Homemade" developed devices..
It will just make their customers more trusty. That Samsung will always make updates to their devices, even the old ones. Unlike other companies.
SGS is kinda ****ty on it's own.. No Android version will transform it to SGS2 or 3 or 4 or 10...
I don't get you man.
This "partitions thing" is not a feature or so,it's simply the locations in your nand memory dedicated for certain rom parts,like /data or /system etc partitions that you have to wipe before flashing a rom for example.
As for roms it's simple - live with shamesung's outdated,althouh stable,gb or froyo or enjoy these awesome ics,jb and kk roms our great devs gave to us.
SGS can handle them all.

The partitioning thing effects the speed of the ROM/file access, atleast that's what I understood.. I dont know..
And what's so awesome about ICS,JB or KK? They seem the same.. So here and there they change the camera interface or something like that.. So? What's so special in any of these versions?

Customization,new features,frequently updated,more support from apps and games devs(android versions older than 4.0 is at the end of their lifetime) and so on...
Most of the changes in recent versions are under the hood,the only visually huge leap was from gb to ics imho.
Also,as google claims,kitkat is optimized for low memory devices,so it should fly on your sgs.

Ok, thanks.
May I ask why dont you use KK?
And I understood already that you dont like "best rom" questions.. But is there a very light, clean and stable ROM with KK?
I found this the cleanest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542131

Looks like a great rom to me.Try.
I'm using kk,but on i9001,cm11 by devcon team to be exact.
On the S2 side,I'm waiting until this "music bug" we have there in kk will be solved.Btw,I'm in love with my current setup
best rom ?
Hi,
From what I've tested:
- best GB rom is SAUROM: it looks old but it's fast and you have FM radio & great battery life!
- JB : I've tested µXylon, which was a good rom, but sadly was discontinued. Crom was really good too !
- KK : my fisrt rom on KK was CyanAOSP but it was damn laggy, I don't know why. So I switched to SlimKat (actually using stable 3.0, 4.0 coming soon :laugh and now I'm happy with it (but it's still slower than JB !)
I haven't tested any ICS rom but it seems that custom ICS roms are faster & lighter than JB and KK.
Sorry for my english :laugh:
I am looking for a stock based ROM, which there doesnt seem to be many of, that has the ability to change around the nav buttons. I really want to swap that recents and back button and I know we have been able to do it on AOSP based ROMs for a while now. However, AOSP based ROMs get significantly worse battery life from idle drain than the stock based ROMs on my phone at least so I would really like to find one with a stock base. Does such a ROM exist and I am just missing it?

well, if you wamt a real rom with the additions, then you have aosp as an option. real developers dont put up a stock rom because no source is provided. no source equals no building roms. some people learning how might use stock, but they dont build it, they just add add-ons to it. something like what you are looking for requires framework changes, so the rom has to be built from scratch. amyways, have you looked if xposed provides an option for you?

yea, xposed now works on lollipop. and yea, stock is only build by google. but its easy enough to add some things to it. and aosp is where all the code is provided for us to build our own roms. google dors have all the source, tbey just dump it into aosp for us.
