Hi guys. I am currently using temasek's CM7 build 128, which I really enjoy. (awesome speed, awesome battery, looks cool)
However, I was wondering: is there an ICS rom good enough to use it daily? Even with the hardware acceleration -and other- bugs?
Every thread I search the information is messed up, it is impossible to know if the rom is useable or not. Although I really love testing new roms, I don't have all this time avaiable.
Any sugestions?
Hi,
Try owain CM9.

Owains Domination CM9 (he freshly released Build80). Smooth and quickly. Got nearly no RRs now.
Have fun.
What is the better kernel for this rom?
MIUI v4 by hariel graphics and speed with harsh power 3.0 kernel.
LG O2X - BLACK - ROM MIUI V4 2.6.1 By Hariel
KERNEL HARSH-POWER 3.0.34

Im using Nova with Horsepower kernel. I have not reflashed it since June 1st and it is still smooth as hell.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
I tried NovaHD and it is really smooth, indeed.
However, apart from the bugs, I noticed 2 things that pissed me off:
1) the battery is warming up fast and stays hot for a long time. I reach 32~34 degrees within 15 minutes of moderate use. (I don't play games)
2) the multitasking feels quite heavy. I no longer can alternate between 3~4 apps instantly, as I could in CM7.
Is it normal from ICS, or will it be fixed when LG/Nvidia release the correct drivers?
thank you for your answers

I guess its because some memory tweaks, so I think it will be solved.

@cool.guy,
if you haven't tried it yet, give tonyp's PARANOIDANDROID a try as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762494
I either use it or Owain's Domination for my daily use and very happy with both.
Good luck!
Paranoidandroid is also good, like owain's.
However, as I said, nothing compares to cm7. The interface feels much more responsive and light. Running CM9 I can feel the phone using all of its resources and still can't get a decent multitasking.
One of the two senteces below is necessarily true:
1) ICS is too heavy for 512Mb phones; or
2) The lack of hardware acceleration drivers makes the ICS a heavy system.
Agreed?

Why do you believe that? ICS has proven to be a more hardware demander system than GB.
It happened with my old Milestone 1: great phone, but lacked on ram just like optimus. (Considering the launch time).
Result: I had to stay on CM6 if I wanted a decent multitasking. The milestone simply couldn't handle the GB, due to the 256mb ram. So I stayed on froyo and was happy that way.
It seems to be the same situation between GB and ICS.
Please tell me if I am wrong.
Hugs.

Tested Nova, Domination and Paranoidandroid with different kernels and I like Paranoidandroid the most.
I'll leave it as my standard ROM unless something awful will happen, which I'm sure will not : D

tested Nova HD and Paranoid, both is nice and pretty.
1. Nova HD -- Highly customize, can custome your kernel, ril, and Gapp installation, and specially it had LG Optimus UI 3.0
2. Paranoid -- Hybrid system, can exchange your UI to Phone or Tablet and customize each App on the UI mode and DPI
(PS: i like both but i m using Paranoid now)

I'm using Nova HD w/ Nova Kernel Pure Edition right now. With Ramhack (64mb) and autokilling task manager (at turning of the screen) it's freakin slick and runs smooth like a baby ass.
What are the pros/cons, forcing you to use Paranoid instead of Nova HD?
I'm testing the Owain94 rom (domination) with Harsh kernel 2107. I like it, but I have problem with scrolling in some apps. When I use the Dolphin browser and I turn the screen, the app freeze.

Do you really get the decent multitasking as in cm7? After 1 week of using paranoid, I got used to the not-so-good multitask.
When I flashed CM7 back it was like " WTF my phone is flying! I can open the facebook, browser, whatsapp and music player at the same time!"
Do the test. Try cm7 and compares.

Ι tried that for a day, it was smooth and all but the battery life while idle was horrible.
Reverted to 4.1.2 stock, is there a way to get rid of the notification to update to 4.2 (without updating ofcourse)...

Strange how peoples experiences differ
I use stock rom 4.2 and never ever have any kind of lag or freezing of any kind - everything works 100% and buttersmooth constantly
I never have to reboot or anything, it just runs for months and not even once have I had any lag or problems
Try a 4.1 rom, CM 10.1 is your best bet, but im not familliar of this device roms.

People have problems with 4.2 if they have old applications that are not updated for 4.2, don't clean their cache, or don't trim their storage.
Any complaints about battery life are due to applications requesting data synch or location. Those wake the Nexus up, and can be turned off.
4.2 is fine for me.

I had similar issues in stock 4.2, tried about 3 others before settling on cm10.1, which runs smooth as can be for me with good battery life.
Seems like the these things are pretty finicky and everyone's handles different ROMs differently.

You do realize not every device is the same. I keep good tabs on my devices. I would know if an application was causing the problem. I've factory reset the device and nothing has changed. Also I've heard from numerous people who have had problems like mine.

That's exactly why I finally decided to root and rom. I did like the 4.2 features so I was shooting for one that incorporated those (dual-sided notification bar, etc.)
Paranoid Android nailed it for me. It feels just like stock 4.2 but is wayyyy smoother, wayyyy less problematic and has a ton of customization options.
I gave cyanogenmod and a couple others a chance first but Paranoid Android definitely has my vote.

This is too funny...
If you have the latest version of jb and it is so bad you can barely use it than you need an RMA.. While it out may have some minor bugs I used it for a long time and loved it... I only switched to paranoid because I love the pie..
It sounds like a hyperbolic exaggeration to me. If not your device is faulty.. or you have some really bad apps messing things up..

i want to now what rom is better the AOKP or Stock ICS and what are the positive sides and non positives ???
For me TouchWiz, cuz Stable, everything work, all S Pen stuff work, can run more Video Codecs, and just beautiful
AOSP etc are nice, but many many bugs. untill they get solved, stay away
personal preference.
Even though Samsung is bloated, their newest touchwiz roms for note will have mad multitask abilities, the hardware probably will be left wanting a bit, but its truly innovating! Cant wait.
Aokp, is as intended(if they get the stuff working with closed sources) by Google
Samsung is doing some awesome stuff with the touchwizz.
definitely touchwiz, samsung is doing well.
Best regards,
+1 for touchwizz

I'd say it goes back to personal preference as well.
But yeah in general stock is more stable and practically has more features. I personally prefer stock.
Aokp offers more customization than touchwiz. It is not as stable as tw. performance may be lower than that of tw.
I use anything that is non-tw.

And which of the aosp/aokp/pa roms is the most full-featured at the moment? Specifically, I've heard none of them supports hdmi out - is that correct?
eactly what are you running on your nexus 7, rom, kernal and launcher and are you rocking any other mods or tweaks with this combination. the device is not brand new most people may have found something that works well for them by now.
ChameleonOS with Chameleon Launcher, and Trinity Kernel have become my Daily Drivers.
No Lag, games play well, videos play well with XBMC and MXPlayer.
Haven't found any need for any tweeks, N7 has been running beautifully.
I'm running this.
I've tried almost every popular ROMs on xda and finally I stick with Purity ROM because
1. It's one of smoothest I've ever tried and it smooth because it's really smooth not by change the way launcher animate and animation speed like in some other ROMs.
2. It's contains only function I want like Pie, Expanded desktop and choose-able status bar show or hide for example.
3. It's can have a really good benchmarks score if you're run it along with some good custom kernels.
4. It's not only fast in benchmarks score but it's also fast in term of real-feel as well.
And for a kernels my choice would be
1. M-Kernel if I want overall performance and best battery life.
2. Faux kernel if I want overall performance (a little bit overall smoother experience).
3. Motley kernel if I want best frame-rate this kernel always give me additional 6-12 fps compare to all the others.
All above is just my personal taste and experience.

I've used Stock, Chameleon OS, CM10.2, and CM11. Of those, I like CM11 the best in terms of speed and feel.

I would usually assume stock cm or something with less than stock cm would be faster since I would assume that any extra features are going to be consuming more ram. Then again that's more from my standpoint of using a old PC.

I've upgraded from hashcode's JB to kitkang, not the regular cm, and I feel the system is slower, specially when listening to spotify while downloading torrents, that's why i'm asking.
I've tred three ROMs for the KFHD 7
The three roms I've tried are, in order,
1. [ROM-AOSP] Unofficial CM11.0 KFire HD 7" (KK 4.4_r1.2) [11/25 BETA] - Hashcode
2. [ROM][WIP][PORT][SOME BUGS][Halo]Full ParanoidAndroid Port for KF HD 7 - jb2kred
3. [ROM][PORT][IOAP][4.4.2] Kindle Fire HD 7"[Update 02/06/2014] - BookCase
The most stable, I feel, was Hashcode's. I had almost zero interface issues, but certain games would crash. FYI - Don't buy the games Kami, and Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour. Both crash on opening. Broken Sword 2 crashes at first, but if you keep trying and eventually get a saved game it works. My biggest issue with Hashcode's was that it eventually slowed down to the point of being unusable, particularly the app switcher and home functions. It all started when I began having to press the power button twice to get the device to wake up, which I've come to find out was an issue with the rom. Unfortunately, I can't be certain that it's the new release (cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip) because I switched roms after that happened. If you haven't noticed, Hashcode has released new versions but hasn't updated his original post. If you follow the link to the old version (Goo.im) you'll find the new ones.
I tried the ParanoidAndroid version next. On first install it was incredibly slow and I barely got through the GApps configuration without throwing the tablet. It was still really slow after I finally got to the home screen so I went back into recovery, factory wiped, and reflashed. The same issue, but faster, and slightly usable. Not nearly as snappy as Hashcode's though.
Next up was IOAP. I currently have this rom on my device. It's very quick, but some of the issues that popped up on Hashcode's rom appear on this one - slow app switching, sometimes getting to the home screen is slow. I think he's using Hashcode's "kernel" (I have no idea what that is), so perhaps it's an issue there. The games mentioned before have the same behavior on this rom. One of the more appealing (I think) features of this rom is that it looks quite svelte - clean lines, black and white, bold, custom icons in places. The bootup animation is ugly, but you don't see that very often, obviously. The other features of the rom I don't really use, mostly because I want the tablet to be quick all the time and it seems like the notification system (Halo) interferes with the functioning of the tablet. There are other bugs on the rom that are mentioned in BookCase's post, but I barely noticed them. I really can't decide if this rom is as fast as Hashcode's AOSP build. I'd have to try them side by side. If reflashing HC's rom makes the app switcher and home functions fast again, then I think I'd give the title to that rom, not this one.
If you really want a rom with an extensive notification system - you like to see emails, notifications, even while playing games and you like a robust lock screen notification system, I'd go with BookCase's IOAP build. If you want a rom that's base Cyanogenmod and functions probably the best, I'd go with Hashcode's rom.
My personal favorite is Bookcase's IOAP, its faster than most when Persano's tweaks are added. I think it's the fastest as well

They're a bunch of init.d scripts created by @persano to speed up our Kindle's. He's got tweak packs for all kinds of different ROMs and OS versions of the Amazon stock software. They work quite well.
