Is there an "easy" or tried and true method to downgrading? CM10.1 is too laggy for my phone. Is 9 any faster or more stable? I was going to downgrade to 7 because I know it works and I don't have any experience with 9.
Thanks in advance.

I don't want to come off as rude, but this belongs among Q&A threads, not Development. Having said that, 10.1 is a work in progress and yes 9 would be more stable. I recommend going back to stock Gingerbread and flashing up from there. There is a stickied thread at the top of this Dev forum with methods to go back to stock Gingerbread (I recommend KK4), or check my signature for links. Happy flashing!
CM10 is stable too, I had it on my phone for about a month with no single issue. Same file system, just flash and ready to go.
In my opinion, no need to downgrade to GB or ICS. I've tried many custom ROMs and JB based give best performance and smoothest UI.
Thread moved to Q and A as this is not a discussion that offers or is development.
Please post in accordance with XDA posting rules.
Thanks for the replies. I posted in the dev section by accident. Thanks for moving my post to the appropriate section. After reading through the threads about GB, ICS and JB I think I'll just stick with CM10.1 and optimize what I have.
Thanks again.

Try other JB ROMs too. There are many great and stable out there. I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for in less than a week. :victory:

Hi.
Does anyone knows why imilka's AOSP thread was closed?
I think imilka itself closed it because of one of the last posted messages, by someone saying that he had enough of the ROM, describing some problems (some already discussed, others probably related to a faulty instalation).
Man... some guys forget that that dev'ing is not an easy task, nobody is get payed for their work (donations are voluntary, even when asked) and everything in xda is kind of experimental, even when called itself stable. If you get annoyed with ROM bugs, you can always flash back to stock. Simple like that.
Please imilka, don't give up on AOSP. Even when stock ICS is released, we don't like touchwiz (as you said in post OP). So you effort will continue to be very useful.
Thanks.
Interesting... I was just about to try it today. Guess I'll play "wait and see" now.
Aokp Rom who is the best.

I hate to start off this thread with such a base question...but I just got a Nexus One and flashed this ROM. Wondering if anyone has a kernel suggestion to maximize smoothness...

First off, thanks for posting to the correct thread! Now, to answer your question: Since this Rom is in a real early stage development phase, there're a few "hacks" implemented to get things running. Personally I didn't tried to flash another kernel, nor am I a kernel dev. However, to ensure functionality it might be the best choice to stay with the released kernels for the moment. I know that's not the answer you wanted, but just my 2 cents.
Edit: Especially because you were asking for "smoothness".. The Evervolv team is working to the graphic related stuff "with priority". Many libs are broken or partitially incompatible. So I think another kernel won't change anything with regards to "smoothness". But we can expect updates on that soon.

Ah, thanks for the info. I got the N1 to play with and with a Galaxy Nexus as my primary device I can really feel the difference...which was of course expected I obviously haven't followed Evervolv's development in the past, just out of curiosity, how frequent are releases in general? I'm running AOKP on my GNex and they release approx every other week, so I'm hoping for something similar here.

Probably the best answer to get, is by looking at the release history of the Evervolv TexasIce Cream Sandwich thread (post 2 & 3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19785288#post19785288
But don't expect weekly updates. Updates come, as Texasice think that it's worth to bump to a new build.
I didn't followed any AOKP projects.. But I know that some devs publish new builds for "every" commit they push to their repos to keep users up to date with the latest stuff. However, Evervolv is a small team of 3 devs and Texasice, who works on N1 stuff, additionally works on other devices and other stuff as well. From what I can see, he's pushing new releases when "something big" was fixed, or was improved, but not for every tiny change.
However, they build nightlies, too. So if you want, you could update every morning. But a better idea would be to follow the progress via their code review site and if you see any commit which you think you would like to have that, go ahead and grab the next nightly.

Lots of questions coming from me today I'm afraid... I am curious what everyone is doing to solve the Insufficient Space error. I posted a general question in the Q&A forum but I don't know if there's any particularities resulting from being on JB rather than GB (CM7).

There are no peculiarities to JB that I know of. All I had to do was enter a2sd install in Terminal (after getting SU there first). I assume you already had an sd-ext partition on your SD.
Hey guys....loving the Jelly Bean experience so far!!
Real silly question here...but what do 0p1, 0p2, 0p3 mean on the nightlies. Is it just releases?
Also is there somewhere we can see what changes are made to each nightly release?
Thanks!

It is version 3.0.0
p stands for pre-alpha (see it as pre-release) and the build number The JB build is just beginning TexasIce will come up hopefully soon with an alpha build once all the merging is completed
I'm coming from ICS as my daily driver, but hesitant on JB just yet.
Is the included Apps2SD working with xdata like the ICS version? I know that was an experimental feature, but it always works better for me than the normal install did.
Thanks,

I'm having serious stability issues and I just want to confirm what causing them...namely is it the ROM or perhaps a hardware issue. I've had the ROM set up and running three times now and each time (once over night, twice just having it sit around for an hour or so) it just freezes up and when I battery pull to reboot, almost all of my apps and settings have been erased. I've used the built in a2sd to move apps and dalvik to sd-ext, dunno if that could be part of the problem... Anyone else have similar issues? I'm thinking if it's not the ROM, it could be corrupt storage or something.
Is butter working in these builds?
This is more in response to your rant on the development thread than in relation to the ROM directly, but I was thinking it would possibly reduce the amount of posts about stuff not appropriate for the development thread if you could put a warning to come up when someone is writing a post for the thread asking if what they're writing is going to contribute to the development of the ROM and with links to this and the discussion thread suggesting them as more appropriate places to post. Dunno if that's possible, or if someone like you with lots of posts could suggest it as a solution to this problem that plagues so many threads?

Another question which is more directly related to the ROM.
Is it possible for an option to be added to remap the soft keys? Such as remapping the search key to be a multitasking key as is in actual ICS phones?
I know I personally hardly ever use the search key but often use the multitasking features which would make it awesome to have that functionality!
Just a thought, thanks if you implement it!

Just wondering when TI will release next build. Am having trouble with notifications. I have pushed all the libs but still the video playing is broken. I really don't know what bexton has fixed but p1 with all fixes was just awesome. I know TI will incorporate all those stuffs so just waitimg eagerly for a p3.

I don't know if it's a bug or not... sometimes screen display doesn't turn off but phone is asleep (I think). See the lockscreen but doesnt respond to touchscreen. Works fine once I wake up phone with power button. On latest nightly(7/27).

Hi
I must say I am a bit disconnected from the Android world since I get to university and I must ask how all have evolved. I'm looking for the newest most stable custom roms at the moment of this post. I think it would be a good idea to maintain a post like this to keep track of what roms have reached a stable, proven state without having to dig too much.
Cheers!

Well there's the RC4 build (release candidate 4) of cyanogen mod 10.1 that's quite good. Its based on android 4.2.2.
Take note that you should ask questions in the questions section and ROM discussions are generally frowned upon so do venture into the development section to learn more about them.

I recommend roms with Mackay kernel, they are often stable and durable in battery but less powerful than Devil kernel. By the way, no one has moved or deleted this post yet =))

Asking for best rom is again XDA rules, If you are on stock rom and as you mentioned that it hasn't been used for a while, factory reset might help, if you don't like touchwiz, then flash KK rom of your choice after clean wipe, read thread for instructions on how to.

Sorry, missed that rule about asking for a rom :/
I am running good old CM 9xxx. I was more asking if there are any known roms to be as lite as possible and a really light launcher.
Anyway, Im downloading latest CM now and Ill see how that perform I get the idea that latest CM isnt the most light, especially for old devices with only 1gb ram, am I wrong?

never used CM, so i might not be the right person to answer that. I have been using Omnirom and Asylum-omni rom both with fabulous performance and battery life.

Hello guys
I have a GT-I8190 phone and want to make a root and install a custom rom...
I searched about root but the information is a bit confused or have links down. Can i install twrp (https://twrp.me/site/update/2015/06/22/twrp-2.8.7.0-released.html) and then install super su (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053)?
Later i want to install the custom rom, i thought about - KitKat 4.4.4 (CyanogenMod 11.0) 20151017 or Lollipop 5.1.1 (CyanogenMod 12.1) 20151013 stable. Which one you think it's the best? The smoother and best battery life?
Thank you for your answers
KK 4.4.4 is the more stable working variant.

ok, i will install that first
Is lollipop (cm12.1, omni, slimLP )better than kitkat to keep on our s3 mini as we can experience ART and cool animations.
I already installed the 4.4.4 and looks really good!
I'm gonna try it to see how it goes...and then maybe try lollipop
I tried to install again the CM 11 and now got the error "encryption unsuccessful"
Can anyone tell me a workaround for this device?
Many thanks
Cm 11 drain battery as hell.
About your problem check your partitions, system, data, cache, must be on ext4

We do not allow threads asking about the best/fastest ROM at XDA. Please do not create threads comparing ROMs." Original from here & please read the XDA rules first. Thanks

We are a bit lenient on Best Rom threads for quite some time now and so far no big issues irised from it.
As long things are kept civil and free from fanboyism etc we will allow it.
We WILL close them when we whe notice abuse though.
