[Q] ROM recomandation for European Milestone (with stability,speed and...froyo)

ROM recommendation,
I know that the official 2.2 is not yet out, but I had enough of "Low on Space" on my Milestone and I would really like to use options like SendToPhone and App2SD.
I was thinking to update with one of the existing ROMs for XDA...but I don't know what to choose...I like Dexter's 2.2 ROMs but I also saw that Telus V5 is very fast and light (or why not a CyanogenMod 6 for Milestone...?! ).
Having in mind the flowing criteria that are important for me :
-stability
-speedy and light on memory consumption
-2.2 if possible (app2sd and SendToPhone)
-fair battery consumption
what ROM would you recommend me ?
Thank you in advance

Personally, I would recommend with the GOT 2.2.1 release the Cyanogenmod6...
Also, check my post about the battery life.

GOT 2.2.1, easily in my opinion =]
fast, stable, decent battery life and there are some awesome themes out there =D
hope i helped!

Thank you for your answers , I was just about to flash MotoFrenzy (Froyo 2.2 for milestone). I will try to see between this two....
and another question...why is so important to uninstall all the applications ? In this case can I use a backup application (Titanium backup Pro) to quickly reinstall al my apps with app data on my milestone ?

Yes...You can backup all your installed apps + data with Titanium backup in 2.1 and restore the backup in 2.2 ... You should not back-up system data or system apps....just the apps installed by you...
MotoFrenzy is not a full 2.2 ROM. it's just a ROM with 2.2 features based on 2.1 kernel so you wont have the full 2.2 experience on your phone...
I recommend as I said earlier GOT 2.2.1 + CM6

Flash the GOT 2.2.1 .sbf and you are good to go!
Also, Overclock (if you haven't done that already) your Milestone for more speed.
I also used Cronos Froyo ROM before GOT leak came out and I was really satisfied with the outcome. I believe he is making a new ROM right now, based on the 2.2.1 GOT.

Best ROM as of right now?

Whats the best rom available right now for the N1? I haven't tested my N1 with anything in a while been running MIUI but I'm finding it to be sort of laggy now with apps installed.

Fastest? Hmm, pretty much any CM7 self-kang.
This one by samuaz is really fast: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416894

Is that the most stable rom available for nexus one right now?

with multiple full wipes to include system both are stable for me
with ICS by samuaz you need to follow op page exactly

Temaseks latest CM7 Kang with scroll zip is BLAZING

I use now ICS by samuaz, it's fast and really stable. But it's an alpha version!
When you think it's important to have a stable rom, then
use CM7. CM7 roms are as stable as stock, but better ;-)

worth upgrading to ICS or JB?
hello. I realize this thread hasn't been active in a while, but I am thinking to bring back my Nexus One from the grave so I can have a backup phone for my daughter to play with in the car/plane. I wanted to ask if it is worth installing ICS or JB ROMs that are out there. I just have the stock ROM in there now and I always struggled with low memory and lag with some newer apps, that's why I've upgraded phones (I've have a Galaxy Nexus now).
I don't have intentions to put a SIM card in there, so I don't really care about phone call features.. only purely from a processing and lightweight standpoint.
Has anybody played enough with GB vs ICS and/or JB and weighed if it's worth upgrading? I'm assuming that it's worth it because so many developers still have Nexus One ROMs... that's why I would just go ahead and install it, but then I'm thinking again if it's just going to bog down the phone if I'm going to only use it for simple games.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello! I have installed the CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v6.0 that is based on CyanogenMod and Evervolv, and works fine for me. I also have installed all the /data partition in the SD card with the A2SD script that is incorporated in the ROM... it generates some few lags, but I didn't have had any problem of lack of space again.
In my opinion, this is the ROM of JB that best preserves the native Android interface, and in my case is stable (until 7 days without to require a reboot!).
Other JB ROMs that users frequently use are PARANOIDANDROID and PixelDroid.

Thanks for the quick response! That is the ROM I was thinking of as well. However, just as a comparison, I'm thinking to flash a clean version of GB back onto the phone as well. Any recommendations on any GB ROMs as well? Thanks!

Sorry, but I can't help on it. I didn't install any GB ROM further than the stock ROM. In my opinion, I think that a stable, complete and functional ROM might be CyanogenMod 7.2. Maybe other XDA members can help you better on it...

This is my main phone. In several times I though changing to other new Nexus device, but the screen size of new devices is too big for me! I like a screen size from 3.7 to 4.0, that is good to read mails, a brief navigation in the Internet, and other minor issues. For other intensive uses, I have my tablet Nexus 10 or my laptop.

should I switch to CM7?

guys i bought a o2x recently.
I am pretty pissed off with the LG ui...not at all smooth
on stock 2.3.4
i didnt get reboots or anything like that but the feel after using O2X is not similar to the likes of HTC(my former android device) and galaxy S
I have used CM7 on HTC desire before and it was smooth as ****.but there were a few things lacking such as internet pass throught,video playback was better on stock,also mass storage transfer speed was better on stock as compared to CM7.some games didnt play as smooth on cm7 as on stockand the stock look of sense UI
I want to be on a ROM which is fast,stable(dont care bout LG UI...its already crap)and good battery life.
so should I switch to CM7? or use one of the Modaco ROMS(which are stock with few tweaks).I heard Modaco are stable and gets less app crashes than other ROMS.
what are the possible drawbacks of using CM7 over stock???if there arent any,then I m switching to CM7

CM is a good rom with good performance and reasonable battery life, especially with a custom kernel. It's really smooth, fast and not in the slightest as buggy as LG Stock. The only drawback so far is the cam quality I think, because the Stock LG cam is better. But, there are mods in the dev section which can improve the cam quality. As for all crashes, only heavy 3d games might crash, but not very often.

thnx..so wht u recommend?nightly or stable??

Can I ask something on this?
After trying a few ROMs this weekend, I decided to stick to Temasek's latest one at least until next weekend (not so much time on workdays).
My question is: when I installed that .zip, didn't I also change the kernel? Or the kernel is another story?
Thanks in advance.

Yes you did change the kernel. Every rom comes with a stock kernel, so everytime you flash a new rom you automatically flash a new stock kernel on your phone. Therefore you need to flash a custom kernel after you flash a custom rom. If you would do it the other way around you'll erase the previous kernel flash.

No 3D heavy games crashes here...and lg stock camera was ported in CM7, so no problem.

There are customized stock ROM's which work great - try Flexbomb. Don't use stock launcher, there are plenty to choose from and all popular ones are better and smoother. Like LauncherPro or ADW, GO Launcher... No bugs, everything smooth and can be customized as you prefer.
Then you can apply some patches like modded camera with higher bitrate/less compression, change kernel, remove OnScreenPhone and other apps, ..
Anyway, CM9 is here

You can actually flash CM7 or CM9 without a physical SD. Technically.
You only need to switch the sdcard/emmc mount points so the internal memory could be recognized as /sdcard and the external SD as /mnt/emmc. There's a flashable zip around on XDA that does that.
So, basically you need to 1. wipe /data and /cache. 2. Install CM7 Kang. 3. Install the mentioned zip. 4. Reboot. A very good step 0 would be backup xD.
Cheers!

Suggestion for a NORMAL ROM for I9000

Hi there!
I must say I'm very disappointed with my 2 year old Galaxy S I9000. Reboots, stuck, UI bugs etc.
I tried any possible 2.x.x ROMs (gingerbread). It works fine ~2 months, then start to randomly reboot, lag and etc.
I'm thinking about moving to ICS or JB (??) ROM. Preferably clean ROM from Google with/without 3d party developers modifications (without any samsung crap, or touchwiz or whatever). I though about CM9 but now I read that Slim ICS is better and more stable.
The first thing I need from a phone, is to be a PHONE! i.e. send and receive calls and sms. WiFi and 3G is very important, GPS is very important. Those are the important-mandatory-must-have-must-work things.
Secondary things I want from a phone is to be a decent photo camera (rarely take videos, but not going to give up on this feature), music player, support for external sd card.
Languages does not matter to me, I use English interface. Ability to support RTL languages correctly will be a bonus. Preferably a clean ROM without any forced application (like custom launchers or etc, give me the opportunity to select my launcher please) OR a ROM with pre installed application but with ability to remove them.
Any suggestion to any ROM and kernel combinations will be appreciated!
Thank you a lot!

You can try downloading two roms at a time and put that in your root of sd, so in case 1 fails to qualify you can quickly switch to another rom thru recovery. I'm using aokp for my nexus, maybe its good for galaxy s too.. it depends on personal taste.

Try the latest CM9 stable rom release. Much more reliable than Sammy stock roms imo
I9000 CM10 nightly

I would recommend CM 9.1 as well. It works great and is really stable.
Sent from my Gameboy Color

If you want good battery life, stability and performance, try CM9 Stable, even better is SlimICS. From JB roms CM10 nightly... (also good ICS roms are eg. AOKP, TiramiSlim, RemICS...)

Thanks! I think Ill go with CM9 (with stock CM9 kernel) and as backup option Ill have Slim ICS on sd card.
Other suggestions will be appreciated!

I recommend JB C-RoM BeaN v1.3.4 (the latest v1.3.5 is for release already). All system applications you mentioned above are working fine, super fast and smooth, no lags. Also no Samsung Apps. Google Apps are in a separate Zip file so you can choose to install them or not.
I'm using this RoM now and I can say this is the best RoM I have ever used compared to GB, ICS, and other JB Roms I've flashed.

I would suggest RemICS 1.3.1, combined with Semaphore 1.2.6s....very good battery life, good management of RAM.
Very good for daily usage...

Try this rom. You wont be disappointed. It's Gnexus port, very smooth and stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776738

You can also try SLIM BEAN V2.2 for I9000, it is also very good for daily use with great battery backup.
thanks.

Either Gamerzrom v11 (Gingerbread) or Team nyx rc5 (ics). I'm on gamerzrom v11 and I'm waiting for v12.:laugh:

I would have to submit my vote for Gamerz v11. I have been using it for a really long time and have had no issues. Right now I'm almost at 7 days battery life with data turned off when I don't need it.

[Q] Nexus One roms

I've asked a similar question before, but this question is a bit different
I've got the HTC Tattoo and the Google Nexus One, and I primarily use the Nexus One, due to better processors, resolution, et cetera. And therefore I want a good rom for the phone, so it's more usefull for me. I've got the newest Cyanogen mod (7.2), but I was wondering if there was any good 4.0 (or higher) Jellybean or Gingerbread (Jellybean prefered) roms out there, that doesn't require resizing the partition. If not, any good 2.3 (or higher) roms were out there? I'm just looking for the best to suit my phone, and I really like the Nexus One.
Thanks in advance
P.S. Sorry for bad English, it isn't my native language, and I'm kind of tired, so there's probably a lot of errors

i can try
Evervolv Jellybean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762790 ( base of all JB roms for N1)
or QND MIUI GB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084726
or MIUI JB from MIUI.us

+1 for Evervolv Jellybean. You'll need a fast sdcard if you have a lot of apps and want it to be useful tho. Set up isn't as straight forward as Gingerbread ROMs so make sure you have lots of time to go through the setup process.

Agreed. I installed an Evervolv JB 4.1.2 on my N1 and quickly noticed performance suffer on account of use of a2sd and storage of the apps and app data on the SD card - which, for the N1 + JB, you really cannot avoid.
I just ordered a UHS-1 Sandisk Ultra MicroSD card, which should help immensely.

ROM which can be considered Most complete GB ROM
