[Q] Some questions before instalyng CM7

I am seriously thinking about instalying cm7 nightly on my phone. But before i do i have some and i was thinking maybe you can help me out.
1)I was readying that everything works exept for the radio. Is that true? and how does the gps work as good as in gingerbread?
2)How is the battery life compared to the stock gingerbread rom?
3)Is it stable enough for every day use?(i don't mind if i have to "adjust" something here and there i just don't want to miss my cals amd sms).
Thnx in advance.

hi.
1) everything except radio is working. Radio is even semi working on the latest builds.
GPS is sometimes stable and sometimes not. Can't day it was better when I was on stock ROM.
2) there are some battery issues, but I can make it last a day with moderate use
3) wouldn't say so. It is still in nightly build and no stable release is available yet.
I'm using it as my daily driver, but I don't mind some bugs here and there since the ROM is blazing fast.
My 2 cents on the matter

I had it installed for about a week. Didn't try the radio but everything else seemed to work.
Was a bit unstable at times but I could live with it. I couldn't live with the battery life though so reflashed samsung firmware.

To answer all three questions ...
1) FM radio works in the most recent builds. As GPS is about the same as on stock roms. The hardware is the hardware after all.
2) battery life is just? Like on the stock rom ...it depends on a lot of factors. If you are one of those people who claims to get three days on a charge, then you will disappointed. Most users get between a day and a day and a half of normal use per charge with much greater performance than on stock roms.
3) I feel it is ready for daily use if you are the sort who enjoys regular updates and tinkering . However ymmv so the only way to know how you will like it is to flash it and see.

what he said ^^
battery life was fine for me and i last used CM about 2 months ago !!! so it must be even better now
its the same as MIUI except from the layout, and i been on MIUI since CM7 - 2 months. and it is definitely stable enough for day to day use.
everything works for me and fm radio does too !! but if it acts up, i just switch data on and listen to radio online, so thats no issue for me.
I would HIGHLY recommend you try it, the speed is well worth the little bugs. it will blow you away compared to stock / samsung based ROMs.
and if you like CM7 soooo much, take 10 mins to switch to MIUI and you will be even more amazed
and if you dont like it, just go back to stock. at least you can say you have tried it

Big thankyou for everybody that answer my questions.

True.
I will try it first thing in the morning. since i have to recharge my phone.
rschenck @ i am going to fallow your tutorial, but i noticed you sad that you need a froyo bootloader, why is that?
And 1 more thing: If i want to update cm7 do i allways need to reinstal all the apps or i can update the phone without wipeing all the data?

you can update without losing your apps, thats not a problem
and as for the froyo bootloader, you need this for sd card reasons mainly, amongst other things.
sometimes people cannot use internal nor external sd card, because of not having a froyo bootloader, thus resulting in most apps not working, camera not working and so on.

I was just like you... and i have decided to flash CM7 two days ago:
Really surprise, it's fast and stable.
No problem with call/sms.
Gps and battery life is ok like samsung rom.
Heavy 3D games like Dungeon Defenders work well.
But no TV-out, it's my only problem with this rom...

well i don't use the tv-out feature so i think it is ok.

[Q] best rom for only phone usage

Hi guys, I got this phone for free with bell mobility as my 2nd phone for my business line. I'm going to be using this phone only to make phone calls. No internet, ever. No wifi, maybe some bluetooth once in a while. No games, no apps. I have a Galaxy nexus for that.
Which rom would be the best for good battery life?
Thanks guys

Talking about the battery life and from personal experience,I would suggest using MIUI rom. The battery lasts for at least 2-3 days(for me) with normal use(wifi,music etc),so should go a far way if only used for calls.
Alternatively, if you prefer Sense UI,I've heard good things about the battery life of Android Revolution HD.
Finally,it's always best to just test several roms yourself in real life situations for several days,and then picking the rom which suits you best.

after playing with it a bit I'm not a big fan of sense...
I'll give miui a try, thanks

+ 1 use tiamat uv to - 50 all values

+1 for miui. might just be in my head, but seems to be even more battery efficient than cm7.

What version of MIUI do you use? There are so many I was going to wait for the updated galnetmiui ics one.

I would take the CM7 Nightly#146 and edit the .zip file and remove all the .apk files from system/app that you don't need.
That will give you a very light ROM.

[Q] Best (stable) current firmware for Galaxy S GT-I9000

Greetings,
I got a GT-I9000 which will become my main phone. But, before that, I’d like to install the best, most stable, firmware for it.
I prefer stability, and having all the features operational, to speed. I don’t need something ultra-tweaked to be super-fast.
I just want to use all the capabilities of the phone without having to worry if a problem is the phone’s fault or the firmware’s.
I’ve seen a few threads around, with many firmwares, but none made a good comparison or gave me a final decision (maybe because there is none).
I’ll be using the phone in Portugal (don’t know if this is that relevant to the answers).
Thanks.
Edit: I'm not necessarily looking for Android 4. If 3.5.x or something is the best option for now, I'm ok with it.

Hi, try this one out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489213
It's realy fast and stable, it's worth a try

I think DarkyRom (http://www.darkyrom.com) (Gingerbread) is what you are looking for.
I have been using it for over 6 months and it was pretty stable. I use v10.2.2 and never felt the need to go for 10.4.2.
Yesterday I switch to Dark Knight (ICS) hoping it will be better. I am more concern about battery consumption so I am still trying this one out. Maybe I'll stick with it, maybe I'll go back to Darky. But as of now I would say it's a bit snappier, could be a placebo effect.

[Q] Novafusion CM Experiences

I've been thinking of flashing Novafusion's CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy s3 Mini and I was wondering what people's experiences with it are so far. Does it boot up fast? Can you navigate through the menus smoothly or are the animations a bit choppy? Do apps work better/faster on it than on stock Android? I'd like to know this so I can actually make a decision whether or not to install the ROM on my phone.

hi, i decided to root my phone about 6 months ago, i did it but accidentally deleted EVERYTHING from my phone and my phone was only bootlooping. Lucky for me i installed TWRP before that. I downloaded Carbon rom and tried it for about 3-4 days and it was really good rom. I decided to switch to CM11. This rom was by far the best rom that i ever used. It has many advantages, it is lightweight, it has theme engine(this is the best feature for me), it is fast and stable, animations are also fast, battery life is good, maybe it is even great, i couldnt tell exactly because my battery is not original and it is old, phone calls are good, messaging also works, internet is great(wi-fi and mobile data), the phone does not boot fast(it boots in 2 mins or so), stock boots faster, switching between apps is definitely faster than stock and overall impression is much better than stock rom. If you don't like this rom, you can always flash Dmod V6 which is stock rom, but different themed and devs added different stuff. So if you have any further questions just PM me or comment, i will try to answer ASAP.
sorry for my bad english, hope this helps

i'm used cm 11.0 it really good for who searching fully working rom, i upgraded to cm 12.1 the rom it also good but the bugs for me it's the record screen and change vpn

Thanks for the replies, guys. This will really help in my decisionmaking. The only thing I will probably not like is the status bar that is on the screen. Ihave this on my tablet (running CM11) and I have no idea how to customize it.

Novafusion ROM is the best custom ROM . It runs very smooth. Apps run even smoother if you convert your partition to f2fs . One SMALL disadvantage is that it drains battery fast.

I have been using this rom on my s3 mini for a couple of days now and I really like it. There is a fix for the battery drain here.

[Q]Most stable and fastest ROM??

Hi,greetings my friends i need your help.
Can you give me your opinion what is the best ROM for Note?
My Cousin has given me it's phone and said to me that phone just laggs too much on samsung's stock 4.1.2 and asked me to do something with it so i tested Note for 2-3 hours and compared to my sony xperia z1c it really slow almost unusable so i just need some good ROM to be used as daily driver.
I don't have much time to test ROM's to find a good one so can you just recommend me one.
Thanks.

If stock is too slow then nothing could make it faster. Stock odexed is the fastest indeed.
The phone memory has damaged. It's a known issue.
