[Q] marvel v7 vs. zeus 6.11

hello all,
Is there somebody that tried both roms?
I'm on Zeus rom for a while and i'm very satisfied with zeus.
But i'm also very curious about the new Marvel. Offcourse i just can give it a try but maybe there are some people who can give me heads up differences between these two roms.
thanks!

Zeus ROM uses zeam launcher with alot of tweaks.
Marvel ROM has amora installer which means you can install stock/ics launcher and framework with app/widgets according to your own will.
so personally I like Marvel more then zeus but zeus is nice too.

Zeus departs itself from being stock, kernel level and tweaks inside the system. I, considered as an advanced user prefer this kinds of things. As themes, launchers etc are free to make, install at will or modify.
Marvel, from the info posted is a themed stock. Which most of us wonder (when we discuss) (or the previous files we obtained) why people say it has the best RAM Management, fast etc.
Only you (user) can decide which you prefer. Apps, launchers, themes doesn't differentiate a ROM. It's what's inside that runs it.

i will just give it a try tonight to see what rom i like the most..
i think zeus will still be my favorite but we'll see..

Pollie81 a wisely desition. I agree totaly with gabwerkz. Huexxx is a genius ROM-baker while tantrums is a genius theme-maker. It depends of the taste of any user.

Hi,
i've tried both roms and for me:
Marvel: Easy and nice installation (with possibility to chose some apks etc) via Aroma, really nice looking rom, but nothing special (comparing to stock) - i think for normal user its ok.
Zeus: Maybe time-consuming pesonalization (apks and so), but with titanium backup things go well. Good looking, nice tweaks (i love it) - IMO for more advanced user.
Zeus is my favourite. With 6.11n i don't have any problems with stability or battery consumption.

rom with a kernel that supports overclocking and tweaks without applications is ideal for me, after I do my little kitchen just to "my" theme and install my favorite applications.
everything that is useless is removed with QtADB. I stay on Zeus v6 battery life suits me better ...

i've tried it but got back almost instantly to zeus..
not that i don't like marvel, of something went wrong but it's all about customization..
i know, i've read the topic but i wanted to experience with my own eyes.
i had already customized zeus with my favorite apps and theming so it was totally personalised.
zeus is the perfect rom for me, with tweaks and mods zeus has made a stable and super fast and smooth rom. all about performance.
the rest you can do for yourself..

i prefer zeus and am used to it
but its better to give marvel a try

+1000000...i *personally* use zeus 6.11 with swapped system/apps and framework-res to get my desired look on zeus with it's system level tweaks.
when it comes to *stock* LG v20GB based ROMs,apart from zeus;
marvel, delfin and a couple of my roms are just merely themed stocks which boils down to the "visual" preference of the users.
don't get me wrong here. MARVEL is perhaps the best stock themed ROM available. but again, when it comes to comparing Zeus, there is none currently which is at par now.
hope i don't get flamed

I ve try zeus and marvel, and so far zeus is the best for stability and battery life.

is there much difference regarding battery life between the two?

Zeus 6.22 works better than marvel 8.1 under my point of view by overlocking our phone you can get much more

How about stability/battery life/overall performance at default comparing those two versions? I'm more interested in about that then overclocking.

This is an impossible question to answer. You will never use your phone exactly the same way to measure things like that. You can use benchmarks to do that, but it's not reliable since you can get different points in the same ROM. Battery life is the most difficult to compare, it depends of so many variables that neither can tell. I think this is a personal choice but I think Zeus is better because it was the first and because of the issues Huexxx has to find and fix. So it gives him a knowledge to cook a decent ROM. And I love it!!!

I'm using Zeus 6.22, boot animation PC Bios, Launcher SE ICS,
with Quadrant, Zeus 6.22n: 1660 -1700 points; Marvel 8.1 : 1100 - 1200 points
Waiting for a stable ICS rom

Rooted Ace: To keep or not to keep (Stock ROM)

Alright. I've searched the forums for 4 hours trying to find different answers to my questions and I haven't had success in all. So, in case I'm that much of an idiot for asking a question that's been answered 1000 times, I'll be happy if you point me in the right direction instead of "politely" asking me to use the search button .
My GF bought an Ace which we were unable to root until we stumbled across the fact the 5830M differs from other models in some ways. We finally got it done yesterday with the help of this thread (I should add the her sole intention of rooting the phone was to expand her Ace's internal memory to be able to install more apps). and we are supposed to partion her SD card (32GB) today. However, after going through so many threads, and deciding CWM will do the partition, we are now unsure about wether we should switch ROM's or keep stock.
So, my question is: Is there any disadvantage of having a rooted phone with its stock ROM? Or better yet: Is there a reason as to why I SHOULD change ROM's?
Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
At this time, there are 3 custom ROMs that are truly different: Razodroid, Retribution ROM and the rest of the deodexed ROMs (2 or 3, I believe).
Let's take each on its own:
Razodroid offers the following:
EXT4 File System
Link2sd
New lock screen
Hard root
Bravia engin
14toogle
Galaxy SII CloCk
New icon pack
Custom bootanimation
Defult *ICS* theme
Ext4 script
Msg limit increased n skins added
Tweaks added
Miui music player added
New google play
All apps updated
New tw Modded
Busybox(latest)
New Launcher
ICS keyboard
Deodex
Zip Aligned System Apps
Sign all apk n zip
Swipe To Clear Notification
Battery saver Tweak
Better Performance
Battery Life increased
Faster SDCARD Read/Write Speed

In other words, it will bring you a slight performance boost, more juice, a different look and some (currently buggy/not so smooth) new features such as swipe to clear or 14 toggles.
Retribution ROM has less features. It's mostly about performance, but it's still in a beta stage, so there's more to come:
Smooth Scroll Mod
Build.prop tweaks
Flash Player pre-included
Beats Audio Mod pre-included
Updated libs and modules for better perfomance
Completely ad-free
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Both of these ROMs come along with Rafael's kernel, which adds support to init.d, iptables and cpu governors, among other features. They're useful for running scripts at boot, using firewalls (e.g. DroidWall) and changing the phone's governor (as the name suggests).
Last comes the deodexed ROMs that have no additional features. As any deodexed ROM, they remove odex files, giving you some extra internal space (at the cost of a slight performance hit) and allow easier theming, allowing you to get, for example, an ICS (deodexed) theme for the S5830I (it's made by rajrocks, search for it if you're interested).
To sum it up, there are no disadvantages of having a rooted phone with the stock ROM. Actually, you have almost no reason to get a custom ROM unless you're interested in the new features they bring, especially that performance/battery tweaks can be applied using scripts or manually without needing a custom ROM, if you know what you're doing.
EDIT: You should however consider getting Rafael's latest kernel for the reasons mentioned above: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818830

Very detailed answer. Thanks!
TBH, I think we'll just keep the current ROM (if it was up to me, I'd be tweaking the hell out of the phone) seeing that it isn't really necessary. If we do, we'll be picking option # 1.
Thanks again.

The only disadvantage of installing a custom rom (i think) is the bigger chance of losing your phone's warranty

How to speed up jelly bean performance?

Hi there, I have question how you guys speed up your jelly bean performance on ace?
Maybe u will tell something new for me
For example I:
* Use memory managment - zRam to max, allow purging of assets ON, kernel samepage merging ON
* Limit background processes to 2-3 (in dev options, unfortunately after every reboot that needs re-apply)
* After reboot I try to force stop every non-system app, whats running
(using task manager to see whats running)
* Using only one widget

And at this moment my task killer shows 140mb free on CM10.1 (bieltv.3, RC2 release)

Maybe you should flash Adrenaline Engine and install Seeder + Greenfy to keep ram usage to low level. The first two things I mentioned works very well on stock GB and make the phone really fast. Also you can use CAREFULLY Pimp my rom to apply mods to speed up more the rom. Be aware that you can't do that much because the phone is very not powerful and the rom is not optimized at 100% so above some level of smoothness you can't go. P.S. You can also use a swap partition or the kernel patcher Memod+Swapall.
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830

Pushing free mem into 50 or 75MB, smartassV2 or smartassH3 + sio, Greenify, replacing Launcher2 with the launcher from XperiaZ.

For swap I use Swapper 2 from Google Play.

Is it best of kind? and how good is performance?

I am sorry. I did not see your post.
Do you mean Swapper 2?
It is just an interface. You need a kernel which supports swap (like the one of the Cm 10.1 builds or erikcas' AOKP ROM). The performance depends on the kernel. The app just invokes busybox commands.
There are few apps that manage swap. If you want a simple one for swap files, use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper
If you want it to have more features and/or support a swap partition (which is faster and better as it is mounted even if the phone is connected to a PC). The biggest advantage besides that is its feature to clean the swap partition when it gets full. If the app does not (like the first one), it will be lagging like hell.
So I recommend Swapper 2. :good:
However, make sure that you have a class 10 SD card. Other classes will slow down the phone. And the life of the card will be decreased due to the many read and write actions.

You can transform you rom on a Bareboned Rom to make it as fast as possible, e.i. deleting all useless apps!! instead of using apps to freeze others as Greenify, TB, AndroidTaskers... that of course is runnig in background, so the best way to stop all background processes is removing the app that produce these processes xDDD

Yes, probably one of the best methods. However, you will have to do that again for every new release.

[Q] first time rooter

hello title kinda says it all.
Ive been thinking of rooting phone mainly to get rid of all the bloatware in the s3 mini. besides that i really dont know what all the roms are capable off.
essentially i want:
eliminate bloatware
improve battery life (if possible)
have greater control over app notifications (sounds etc)
nicer looking gui is a plus.
also is it possible to do this without losing my already installed apps?

Here you go!
I will make a tutorial on how to install custom roms. I also have a review of a custom rom.

ok got the rooting but what about rom reccomendation that does what i described?

Basicly customs roms will give you a very smooth and fast experience without any bloatware(stuff that are unecessary which uses lots of ram).
Roms also give you some extra features that you won't get on stock roms.

"best rom" topics is not welcome here. you need to try it for yourself and choose one. all i can say is start with novafusion's roms. like cyanogenmod cm11, 10.2. carbon rom etc. i use novafusion's cm11 and pretty cool. but try them and choose

Just Rooted S3 Mini, Whats Next?

I was able to root my phone. Now my question is that I would like to run a lag free system. Would changing the Rom fix that? Will I lose any features on my phone? I want a rom that is Simple ( google edition phone/ no bloatware) My current system is 4.2.1, would I need to stay on 4.2.1 to keep my features or that doesnt matter. I am a total noob and the more explanation, the better ( & more appreciated).

Custom ROMs also have their pros and cons, but are generaly faster and smoother than stock. They add new features, that's why we love them, but there are some sacrifices. If u decide to go custom, go to Original Android Development subforum here, browse around, and make your pick... (I personaly recomend CM 10.2 from NovaFusion if you want a stable, yet smooth custom ROM that won't let you down). Ofcourse, when flashing them, and recovery of your chosing, you should know what you're doing, at least on paper, so come prepared. All the info is already here, just search it.
Staying on stock has some advantages too. It's almost risk free, and like pang34 said, u can do lots of things on stock (now that you are rooted) too that will improve performance and customize your phone. There are also some Stock Based ROMs here (haven't tried them, but also a good option), you should check them out.
The decision is all yours. You chose, that's the cool thing about Android.:highfive:

4.2.1?? What s3 mini verson do you have?
If is GT-I8190 the you can costomize like custom recovery and rom.
You'll not lose any feature, you can boost the phone smoothnes and response to comands by making a good combination of kernel-cutom rom, you can boost battery life and performance as well.
You'll lose nothing just the warranty,nothing more.

I think the warranty has expired anyways. Do you have a ROM that you suggest? I wanted to try CM Roms.

Thanks to all those who replied. Really appreciate you helping out a noob.

If you ask me, stock based roms are the best ones

Flashing the rom doesnt seem to work. I tried to do it through RomManager and followed these instructions and all I would go back is to the factory reset of the S3 mini.

Hi, I would personally install twrp from novafusion. http://novafusion.pl/downloads#
Install using Odin. I use twrp for any ROMs I install, it has never let me down.
After you have twrp installed, click on wipe>advanced wipe and check
System
Data
Cach
Dalvik
Then install what ever ROM you have downloaded.

best way is always via odin but with latest twrp by novafusion it is very easy to install. i recommand to do a clean install every month or after complexer updates.
