[Q] minicm7 or minicm9

I'm currently on a buggy minicm7 2.2.0. I'm suspecting the culprit of the bugs is my SD card(A2SD). I'm thinking of re-installing everything from scratch, but then again, there is the good looking minicm9 ics.
So my question is, should I upgrade to minicm9? (I don't have much time to check it myself for trial and error so I'm asking here for your opinions.)
Please convince me why should I do so. Are there any significant functionality that is available on cm7 that is not on cm9? Significant performance drop on games?(though I don't play on my x8 nowadays)
Thanks!

If u use ur pohone day to day and record videos or watch videos from youtube u should use MiniCm7 2.2.0
If not then MiniCm9 is ok if u supercharge it and install this add on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649187

so it no flash support? Hmmm.. I guess it's fine...

Hi, I tried minicm9.. at first it was cool, even refreshing..
The UI feels revamped, system settings cleaned, messaging better, default launcher is beautiful and it really felt like wonderful..
But after some time of using it, I found it laggy, just opening drawer takes about 1 or 2 seconds, it often restarts, and it also restarts when I try to overclock to over 748MHz (this also happened in minicm7)..
I just felt down, I really like the new feel but the performance was not as good as minicm7, I really hope it gets to a point that it is at par with minicm7

i would suggest you stick with minicm7 2.2.0 cos the minicm9 is extrremely laggy,constant force closing,and its got a crazy battery drain.i flashed minicm9 but reverted to minicm7 cos of the bugs.i feel naa will be working on an update for the minicm9 with fixed bugs ,until then just stick with minicm7 cos most people are reverting to it already.
pls give me a thanks if its helpfull.cos i am a new member.so i can post more comments

I say go with cm9, I flashed it 2 days ago and Im loving it, yes it is not stable yet but it is quite ok, there is a bit lag but you can always install resized apps and v6 supercharger

If u need to use ur phone to watch video daily,either from your phone,or internet,then you should stick with MiniCM7,but if you want something new,try out MiniCM9,i'm using MiniCM9 right now,and i'm happy with it
Advantages of MiniCM9:
-Android 4.0 (ICS)
-Fast Wifi Connection (really2 fast)
-UI just like Galaxy Nexus ( i love it very2 much)
Disadvantages/bug of MiniCM9:
-video not working
-Speaker sound not so good,can use FIX from here : http://www.4shared.com/zip/2g7-UiU2/MiniCM9_Audio_Fix.html
-Quite laggy scrolling,can improve by flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649187
#as said above you can also use supercharged,i might do it later,but right now i can said it is table for daily use like sms,call,internet,listen to radio,etc...if you have problem in MiniCM9,don't forget to read FAQ first,hope this help you to decide

craaaaazy, ne?
(skip ahead to the end of the post)

MiniCM9 lags as hell, I'll keep the MiniCM7 until the 9 improves.

I personally dont go to ICS due limitations of our hardware.We will never can have full feature of ICSFace unlocked,for example

I had to revert to cm7 based rom...gingerdx to be specific because minicm9 is still laggy, it do not support games and freezes all the time. TO me the biggest culprit was the video playback..its only good enough to show it off to your friends. but im eagerly waiting for full working version...... And there is minicm10 out already.. Its lightweight and smooth..but Both ROMs are similar in performance. you can try it out as well.

Help me!!!

just flash the ROM kernel (nAa, JB, ICS,,,,) and flash the ROM by CWM
'what type of error?

minicm9 is and always will be laggy and slower than minicm7 due to hardware limitations so why bother i have tried almost every rom in here and all are the same at first they are fast and nice but after a while they become slower and laggy so i think a lost my hope

if still the 2nd post above me solution does not work, first flash to stock firmware, flash the gingerbread kernel (alfs, naa) first, format /system, /cache, /data, flash the ics kernel of naa, and again, format /system,/cache,/data, if still, maybe haven't installed the right drivers for your x8, so go into the root directory of your Flashtool then go to drivers, you can manually install the drivers required by your device there for sure

Cm7
I would suggest you to stay on Cm7 cause it is more stable, less laggy, better performances and battery life.

Tried both MiniCM7 and MinCM9 and I must admit ICS is not for our device..:crying:.It lags most of the time and is very unstable.....I would rather recommend MiniCM10 over MiniCM9 any day....:good:but MiniCM7 is bug-less, stable and is for daily use......:highfive:

I would recommend CM7 if you expect performance out of your phone..... but if you need to be on latest androids CM 10 is good.....
But CM9 is very less stable in x8 it keeps on hanging and apps force closes.... CM10 is much better.

Thank you for the post. I was going to post similar question regarding good choices for daily use and just found it.
Mini CM9 is my first try and here are some info on my experience:
I was long time planning using a custom ROM/Kernel and my first choice was Mini CM9, because of all of its features and beautiful look. As other users mentioned, it was running VERY good for a while (maybe the first 2 or 3 days after an install or new install). Anyway, every time (I reinstalled it twice) it gets laggy and I get a lot of "Not responding" messages (Trebuchet and other apps). I've even lost some calls because of "Phone Activity" freezing.
Plus, I could not use wirelless networks using a public hot-spot with sign-in needed. Wireless networks always worked good while using Stock ROM/Kernel, by the way.
CM9 seems to be a very good ROM but, considering my own experience, it should not be for daily use as it was not as stable as I was expecting.
I am preparing my X8 to install a more stable Kernel/ROM and, If you guys excuse me, I would to ask you about the Mini CM7 and GingerDX ROMs. Please, if you tried both or even GingerDX only, let me know how was it.
Thank you guys! I'll let you know about my new ROM/Kernel choice as soon as I decide which one to install.

[Q] Gingerbread Stock Rom or Cyanogenmod 9

Hello guys
I need you help to decide either to stay to my stock gingerbread rom or root my phone and install cyanogenmod 9 on my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
Please tell me which one is more stable and better to use..
Thanks in advance

Should just go with Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly. I use my phone every day and get no random reboots, stability issues or incompatible features/apps. Everything seems to work great. I can't see much of a reason to use CM9 since CM10 works so well
I moved to CM10 from XXJW4 2.6.4 and have no plans on rolling back.

Go with CM10! very recommended!
if you want, here there is a tutorial that shows you how to ROOT
your Galaxy s1 stock ROM 2.3.4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k274AsTleAc&feature=plcp

I've been using CM9RC2 for a few months now and it's good. I find it a lot more stable and a lot faster than stock. However, I find I miss a lot of the small things about the stock ROM that just aren't in CM. The Contacts app is poor (can't link contacts, no Facebook integration) as is the stock Calender and the default music player that comes with it is atrocious.
If you can live with those, or are willing to pay for some appropriate replacement apps then I can definitely recommend going with CM

I'm always on gb, lately JW7 gb rom, ext4 format, Semaphore 2. 7.4. Reliable and fast.
Since a week I turned on a CM10. I like a lot, it's stable but very battery drainy and no faster than my previus gb JW7.
I think GB is still the best for our poor i9000...

I switched from Samsung GB to CM9 when it became stable mi-August (now I'm on CM9.1).
I don't plan to switch to CM10 until it is stable (or at least in RC stage) => and I hope it will become stable before 4.2 goes open source and pawitp starts working on next CM!
For me, my phone is much better with CM9: less reboots (I only had one in two months instead of one per week with GB).
My phone is generally more enjoyable: it is difficult to point specific functionnalities (there are many), but the user experience has been a big focus for Google in ICS, and the result is really great for me. I like stock applications a lot (even though contact app may indeed have less functionnalities than Touchwiz one). One the other side, I could not say if the phone is faster or not: so it your main concern is speed, the switch won't change much (unless you go with CM10 which is supposed to be faster). Main drawback for me is that MMS don't work anymore, but I guess it's a problem very specific to my case as I didn't find other people having my problem (and as I didn't use MMS a lot, I didn't take time to investigate heavily the issue).

You need to use Odin to get gingerbread bootloader before you can flash custom gb roms

I've installed CM10 after I was on CM9 for almost 2 months and I can say my phone works much better compared to GB and CM9. Everything's much faster and much smoother.

[Q] Is P990 too weak for FxGuru?

Hi,
I installed a program FxGuru on my P990 with DM 1.2.1, and now I am on CM10 but the problem is the same.
The program runs for the first time, and you manage to download an effect and when you need to start recording, the viewfinder is black, and the program simply freezes, and you shows that it froze and you can Wait, send report or close it.
After closing, it won't run again.
I suppose this is due to P990's 512MB of RAM, but I would like to hear more experienced opinions.
thanks.

i used the version you can download on cyanogenmod website and installed it normally via cwm (with full wipe and everything)

Did you use stock CM kernel?
I didn't tried the latest cm nightly, but cm kernel has a weird bug causing the CPU to stick at 1000mgz all the time.
Use some apps to see for yourself, cpu spy.
I use trikster mod app to properly set the cpu.
And I recommend avatar rom, it is like CM but has a suport/option for miui themes.
Rom is super smooth and has god memory menagement/multitasking, even the stock clock alarm hasn't failed me.
Sure it has all the known CM bugs like panorama not working, same kernel bug, ect. but it's stable.

Here are my problems
1.after searching a lot i found a decent working ICS MIUI ROM .
no lag, everything works perfectly.
but i have a great drop in battery. when i checked the stats it was a kernel wakelock names "bluesleep" which is preventing the device from sleep. i had found fix for this in forum but not a fix for ace so people please gimme a link for fix

For the bluesleep process that pervent your device to enter sleep mode you should take a look if it's a bug of the rom and if it's reported from other users. I think that the Wi-Fi is maybe a problem due to a not perfect flash of the rom. In anyway wipe everything, format system and sd card, than reflash the rom, you migh be good to go.
P.S. Try to freez bluesleep with greenfy and see what appen. This could be call a temporary fix if you don't care that much about Wi-Fi.
Good luck and have a great life

Bluesleep is the problem with Bluetooth in ICS rom with non ICS kernel. gonna try Ics kernel now. but for someother devices there is flashable fix for bluesleep.
wifi problem has been ter since stock ROM. i think its related to Baseband. Am searching for a good baseband for India.

The rom you may looking for is a slimmed rom based on stock 2.3.6 rom by Samsung with Battery Extender kernel. The fastest and less battery-eater rom is the AOSP GB but has no working 3G connection so that's why you may not like it. Custom ROM suffers some instability some times and they're not perfect so that's why you should use on a phone you use for your job a stock based rom, in my opinion.
P.S. Do you really need a MIUI rom updated to a newer version of Android?

Also i have one more doubt. when i moved to custom kernel the boot logo animates like my phone gonna die i9s that normal or due to some voltage fluctuations ??

No problems at all, it's "normal" (i know sounds weird XD) when you flash a kernel that do not came with the rom itself. I've never faced instability related to voltages even in overclock. Remember that not every CPU is capable of the same overclock. If you doubt about stability do a stress test of cpu trough an app (I use it to test oveclock frequecies).
