Hi guys, was wondering about what makes you decide to leave stock and stick to cm, or why you're staying in stock rather than cm10.1?
I've been thinking which ROM to go for, thinking about the cons and pros for each..
for stock, great kernel support from doomlord, better cam( i think ? ), more mods available( better sound from zeroinfinity).
for cm10.1, loads of customization, super smooth( carbon rom for now ).
What additional feature else to add?
Please list down what ROM you're using + the reason why you're sticking with ( stock / cm10.1 ) ? Would like to see different users' opinion.
If u want to preserve warranty, go for stock
If you want performance and daily updates , go for cm 10.1
If you wanna customise your device to d core, go for miui v5.
Aosp, paranoid android and pacman roms are also worth it

Actually, there is a noticeable drop in performance while running CM10.1 vs stock. Whether this is related to the build I'm running being a debug build vs release/optimised or if there's a more efficient graphics driver in stock ROMs I don't know, but I get 5600 in Quadrant running CM10.1 vs roughly 7800 in stock. Pretty large difference.
The most likely reason for this is what I mentioned above, that a debug build is not at all as optimised (as that takes a lot more time for compilation) as stable builds. But still worth mentioning as one is most likely to be running userdebug nightlies at this stage. If this is the case then we will most likely see improved results when the CM10.1 stable gets the new FXP kernel that's been pushed to the nightly builds.

I will find the next person who uses quadrant as a form of measurement for performance.
Or any benchmarking tool
Benchmarks aside, I have been testing gaming on the latest cm nightly. Nova and including modern combat 4 runs smoothly. Don't put your
hopes only on benchmarks.

Was about to type in my last post that I wasn't complaining about the performance, not at all, because it is stellar. Just saying that I've seen better performance on Sony ROMs.

Never said u r complaining. This just came from my point of view. But I agree that on Sonys ROM benchmarks r better. Its difficult to ditch cm, I have always liked aosp but might end up testing Sony's.

Well, I have to say that battery drainage is pretty high...also that ext sdcard is mounted to emmc is a little confusing for someone who had to deal with /sdcard/_ExternalSD before...
But all in all it's pretty good...
EDIT: Anyone tried to use vorkkernel with this?
Skype video actually works in this version. But orientation is messed up.
I too must confirm that the battery drain is pretty bad.
Ran quadrant and sent the results to my dropbox and it lost 3%. Quadrant ran strange. The stairs in the animation did not have any texture and the planet with the moon was blank too, but it had shadows.
I presume that an hour or two of gaming would drain it completely.
On thing I noticed is that the FM Radio app is missing.
The camera app (IMO) is pretty bad to. The frame rate is low while shooting.
Video recording is pretty bad. At what I suppose is full HD, the frame rate is 10-12 tops.
Here are the results from quadrant:

If you have CM7 nightlies installed, just update without wiping anything. Worked fine for me.
cm 7 still not supported fm radio properly, so it is missing for right reason.
so, should I install this or the latest nightly? Are there any advantages over the nightly versions?
Yes I agree that
-Battery drain so fast and GPS slow fixed than nightly.
-Music can find my music album while 166 nightly can't find.
-Antutu score about 5,200 at 1GHz better than nightly that about 4,900-5,100 at 1.015 GHz.
So let try more days.
Edit:
-Wake up work (previous nightly #166 not wake me so make me lately)

for me the nightlies have a great battery life, it seems that this hasn't
Seriously guys, if anything didn't work in the latest nightly it surely wont work in this stable. At some point, a nightly is picked and declared stable. So don't go out asking if anything is working now that wasn't working yesterday. You will find any changelog here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p990
I'm still running the #158 nightly and it's working fine. So, little unsure, whether I should update or not. When the battery consumption is so bad, I will continue using my nightly, because the endurance is much higher than the stock rom.
Hmmmm, I think I'm gonna stick for a while with my Modaco..... did they fix the A2DP in this release? I think I read somewhere in this forum about A2DP will be fixed in the next version of nightlies....

Personally everything is perfect for me apart from 2 things
- no FM radio
- battery life is pretty bad
Here all is fine with the stable release. No battery drain (its actually bloody damn good), fast GPS lock and smooth as butter. Great work Richard!
Whatever is causing these issues with you guys, it isnt the ROM...no matter how convinced you are it is.
Rule #1: if you think you found a bug, you probably didnt and is caused by your own doing or lack of knowledge.

Can some one tell me whats the recommended baseband for CM 7.1
Hi all
Question I have for the ics testers among us.
In your opinion do the variety of ics builds available (team rocket etc) warrent a change from a gingerbread rom? The thing of most concern to me is the underclock to 1.2. As I run at 1.6, are the coding optimisations in the ics builds enough to justify a loss in clock speed (until a kernel is made taking advantage of the notes full clock)?
I tried the initial release which was leaked and didn't like it - unstable. But as the various teams are rectifying stability, its more the speed that concerns me. Hate the thought of having a device underclocked!

That should be the least of your concerns, IMO. I have tried all ICS releases, and had lots of other issues, like FCs, partial root, some of the settings features (brightness and sound) freezing up the phone, and the biggest of them all - malfunctioning CWM Recovery.
You can do as you like, but I'm staying away from ICS until the next, more stable release emerges.
Edited: I forgot, there's also good old ICS SOD (sleep of death).
Well its just that the rocket team appear to be releasing stability updates almost daily so was more wondering about speed. I had a nightmare when flashing the original leak!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
speed is fine imho, but I lost root which really bothered me
I would wait a couple weeks myself.
I think I'll wait another week. the worst bugs will be gone by then, I'm optimistic
best battery life smooth and fast with some bugs

Frankly I'm very happy with team rockets 1.4. The only issues are small ones which have already been fixed for 1.5.
Regarding the underclocked CPU, ics at 1.2 GHz is smoother and faster for me compared to any GB ROM at 1.4 GHz. Scrolling is smoother and gaming performance too has noticeably improved. The only difference you might see is in benchmarks which don't mean anything IMO anyway.

Rom is working... i use ICS roms as my daily rom, if you dont want use ICS dont use ! We are developing ICS and posting modifications, alpha 2 is almost done with Ram fixed and wifi icon fixed...
Camera is almost, i think, im trying some stuff now because we have updated github now.
Yeah Im using it as daily too, your LG rom mod actually and I really dont want to downgrade to GB after being so in love with ICS (except for zero camera and 4 hour batttery and FC's and restarts and battery pulls cause of screen off )
In my opinion, SOME camera is better than NO camera, if I see something i HAVE to take a picture of I can just show people and be like yeah ignore the funny colours my camera wasnt working at the time, instead of being like yeah my camera didnt work at all at the time so I have no photo to show you
in any case, I love you guys for all this
if camera is not working all ics roms are garbage.
You dont need to use it...

Most of the complaining, and they belong to a standing ovation for their contribution in making ics in the ob. I personally look forward to each new rom, which is close to the stable operation of the ICS.

I will give a try when the Power Button is fixed. I installed few mins ago and you can not lock it.
Now, with a port, you think AOKP devs could/would help? there is an old request for a port on their forums
Just some quick questions...
1) i AM a good programmer, and I know some languages some of which include C++, .NET(PRO at this lol) and some C. Do you really have to program/write code to do this ports and so on?
2) i want to you help you all bcz i've taken enough from all you guys that just give out hours of your life just for free... so THANKS to you all nooby, soulexertz, boype, huexxx, koila and hundreds more. Would I help if I joined I mean idk programming smth or maybe debug, try roms? YOU are pros you tell me
Hi koila33 and TheFrankenstain
I tried to rom.Start the animation was very nice.Animation is the news of the beautiful things.Some would like to report errors.
As you probably gtalk and Cynogenmod LGE services fails to specify.program in addition rom control doesn't work,
Could be the root file program.
To tell the good aspects;opening the phone is very fast,came to me like a speeding wifi,reboot is very fast.
I hope the next upgrade to the stable version of optimus black owners would be gained.Good Luck

I Agree. I think that there's lots of other things to do. Like RAM Mng, SOD's, Battery life... and so on. In my opinion ur wasting lots of time fixing the Camera, while the ROM is still unstable... The way i see things i rather have a Rom where the Cam works 50% but its damn stable, the battery lasts, and i can use it daily, then a rom with a working camera wich lasts 4h "Cause battery drain is Huge", and i get contant SOD's and crashes. Thats my opinion bro's. I really appreciate ur work for our community... Dont take it the wrong way, just saying
I think i read somewhere that lg does not release the camera drivers,is it true and is it ever gonna be able to make an ics rom for ob with camera working 100% especially now that ics official rom is not coming out according to lg ofcourse,also can you tell me the difference between aokp and cyanogenmod 9,thanks in advance.
Wreat work guys! Very Nicee!! Congratulations!!

Good to hear I gotta say this is the FASTEST I have ever seen my vivid run.. but i am a PAC freak which sucks :/
Im also a PAC freak, I absolutely adore hybrid, but with all the added goodies of aokp and cm... Just delicious lol
I usually like to use SS Launcher too which is stupid customizable (but a resource hog I think) so running AoCP with the included launcher (aspire?) probably isn't a fair comparison but I'll say this ROM with crossbreeder is blazing fast!
So far stable too, as far as I can tell, but I haven't been doing too much with it
Going to test this rom out today too!

This theme I would say is the closest it could get to normal. I would add all the themes to the rom if i could
Sorry! I've been running this and wish I could change that myself
Bumping since it looks like nothing's been done since July ...
I noticed a couple of things on this ROM. Firstly, Wi-Fi appears to be broken. Cannot detect my home network even if I'm within three feet of the router. I'm not an expert by any means, so I wouldn't know the first thing about how to fix it.
Secondly, when attempting to change the lock screen security (slide, PIN, password, etc.), Settings force closes. Doesn't matter how I get there, either from the lockscreen setting or the security setting, always force close.
I currently run the official AoCP 6.2 on my Captivate, and I love it! I wanted to update my daughter's HTC Vivid (since I was able to appropriate it for testing and stuff), but I'm disappointed that the unofficial AoCP for the Vivid doesn't seem to be quite ready for prime time ... unless I'm doing something wrong. (I'm wiping everything in TWRP before flashing, flashing three times to make sure it sticks, etc. Didn't try fastboot flashing the boot.img...guess that's next.)
UPDATE: Flashed boot.img after flashing the ROM and Gapps, and lo and behold, Wi-Fi works! I bet the security settings issue will be cleared up, as well...and yep, it is. Lovely AoCP goodness on my Vivid!
The Vivid has much better specs than my Captivate, and as I'm not eligible for an upgrade (my daughter took mine :crying even this old phone represents a step up for me. And I hate Sense and ICS, but I love JB, especially 4.3 ... and the animations in AoCP on my Cappy make it seem like a brand new phone. Wish you could port AoCP 6.2 to the Vivid!
I have been desperately searching for a kitkat ROM that doesn't have the slow LTE signal problem. I figured I should share my experience being as Im sure many people face this same issue. Some of you may not even notice the issue until you compare speedtest result from your rom in question to results from stock. I tested EVERY kitkat ROM I could get my hands on and it is a problem for a large amont of them, some worse than others. I tested each individually by using myth tools to completely return my phone to stock, record my signal strength and speed in various locations. Then I would root the device, unlock bootloader, flash philz touch, then flash the ROM in question. I always returned to stock between flashing ROMs and tested signal strength/speed again using stock. I simply did this to ensure nothing involving the modem or such could carry over from one ROM to the next. Believe me it was a very drawn out process:highfive:. Anyways, I'm not going to go into details about each ROMs speed/signal strength(pm me if you want to know about a certain ROM I don't have listed). I'm just going to pass on the three ROMs that placed at the top. Keep in mind speeds and signal strengths did vary slightly with these as well but are certainly to par with what LTE speed should be. The third best was GZR Validus v5.2. Good signal strength and LTE speeds ranged from around 17-23mbps. The second best was MOKEE (both 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 nightlies). The signal strength was SLIGHTLY stronger than Validus. The speeds were also close to Validus, however I was able to reach up to 24.5mbps. The BEST signal strength/speed was certainly LiquidSmooth 3.0. Its signal strength/speed was basically that of stock. The speed was around 27-35mbps but tended to stay at the higher end of those numbers. I hope this helps some of you out that are experiencing slow LTE and want to know which ROMs will fix this. Please keep in mind I did my best to control this test and make it as accurate as possible. However, there is so many variables out of my control that could play a part in signal strength and speed.So please don't base this as scientific fact, use it more as a guide line. Just wanted to add also that I could not find the official Liquid Smooth 3.0 used in the test in the atrix HD section here at XDA, I was only able to find a unofficial JB version. If your wanting the ROM and can't find it PM me and I'll pass on a link. I messaged the developers to see if I can post a share in our development section. We certainly need to make it available, IMO its the best ROM for the atrix HD PERIOD! It also works flawlessly with arrrghhhs anykernel.

The latest ota.
So there's no high speed Dev type that can extract the firmware so we can just install it through fastboot? The Atrix HD community is strange to me, no deodexed stock roms, no radios, firmware or anything, just custom ROMs...

Complaint won't help.
We already have RSD and lots of great roms.
Being grateful might be a better attitude.
And by the way we do have deodexed roms.
Do the search.
On CM11 M7 official coming from latest ota. YMMV of course.

That's a lot better than I EVER got with cm. Its still terrible speed for LTE though. That's more like H+ speed. I'm on LS v3.0 pulling 28-35, and always over 30 if I have more than 2 bars. Speed wasn't the only problem I had with CM and others. The longer the phone was on seemed like the signal got worse and worse. I wish I could just forget the signal and stick with CM because the M7 snapshot was very stable and I loved it, the signal just killed it for me. In all reality I don't really need anymore than 10mbps or so, I'm just OCD and know I can get 30mbps so I have to. Lol I'm sure some will agree with that statement.
