What kind of ROM/Kernel would you recommend to me?

Hi everyone, first of all I'd like to apologize if I am posting this in the wrong section, as I'm new to this forum.
Getting back on topic, I'd like to know what kind of ROMS/Kernels you guys are using and hopefully recommend them to me as I'm new to custom ROMS. I am currently using CM7.2 stable with the ETaNA HOC Kernel (because I like experimenting with OC'ing) and while the ROM is great, the Kernel seems to have issues with displaying the battery value (keeps randomly changing from 89 to 91 for example.) I'd prefer it if someone could recommend a CM7 based ROM, seeing as ICS ROMS lack HWA. Also, what kind of CPU manager/settings/etc would you guys recommend? I bought Android Overclock, only to have it force close every time I used it -_-
Sorry if I'm asking too much, but Android and technology in general interests me
Thanks

You're using the Etana DS version which causes these battery jumps.
Just use the normal version if you dont want that (it's said that the DS version has slightly better battery though).
Don't use any 3rd party app, vadonkas kernel brings a lot of tools to do so.

Thanks, I've tried what you'd suggested and it seems to have fixed the issues I had.

go for any stock based rom - better performance and battery life

There is no such thing as best ROM

Best roms here
Your thread will probably be closed.

He's not asking for the best rom. He's asking for the best gaming rom... there's a difference there bro.
And yes stock based would be the best choice to go with.

I no there isn't a best rom but most roms are made for things like music, battery life etc I'm asking if there is 1 built for the gaming side
sent from my GT-S5830 EVO

basically there is no rom which is specifically made for improvin gaming speed! so my advice to you is dat download GAME BOOSTER. its an app which would increase ur gamin speed at the cost of battery. hit thnx if helpd!

To answer your question,simply try a CM7 rom..

No. Every rom has it's own up and downs. So if you need a rom for one specific goal, then one Rom is accually better then the other.. e.g. you don't use cm10 if you need a good battery/camera.
Quite logical if you ask me.
And I think cm7 uses less RAM then stock, so cm7 is indeed a better choice.

That is the problem. It is a matter of opinion. What you think (regardless of your logic) doesn't make any rom better than the other (at anything). Prove your reasons by standardised, peer reveiwed methods before you say that.
I think that mods will close this thread. That doesn't mean it will happen.

One rom has better battery life than the other, but the other one might have more futures(did I spell that correct?) . Those r not opinions but facts, But which of those things you need/want, is up to you, so the best rom FOR YOU, doesn't have to be the best rom FOR ME. That's the opinion part.

If you ask me I don't think it matters on the rom, but on the current performance governor and app running in the background.
Try installing a system app killer or changing your governor to lagfree or performance.
Best of luck!

You could also overclock but I'm not really a fan of that..

any CM7, performance governer, adrenaline boost before gaming. beware it may have an impact on battery.

Flashed the apocalypse rom and am using the adrenaline engine, AV got to say its defo the rom for me its very quick and I haven't had/got no problems with it at all
GT-S5830 APOCALYPSE ADRENALINE

for the music use power amp
for gaming use the rom you want with No-frills CPU Control and put cpu to 864 mHz and governor on smartassv2

IV set CPU at 806 that's working great so far and AV notice a list of kernals on this rom but don't want to flash 1 in case it messes the phone up and I'm not even sure if they work for my ace yet

[Q] In search of a Gingerbread ROM

Hello, community
I've got a Galaxy S and I'm running 4.1.2 Jellybean. I'm thinking of going back to Gingerbread and I'm wondering if you have any links to a good and stable GB ROM with very good battery life? that would be great. Preferably one that takes skins and looks like ICS or JB.
Thank you, :good:

Personally I find Mandana rom to be very satisfying in terms of speed, battery and stability. Haven't had once single random reboot of fc since flashing it 1 month ago.

I'm new at this, so excuse any mistakes. I thought I was doing it right.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

Why do you want to go back? I see no reason to it, cause battery is much better than on gingerbread, cause Cm10 can use gpu to render the ui, so CPU is not at full frequency all the time, it can rest while gpu is working hard
One more reason to stay at Cm10 the compatibility, cause a few apps now only support ice cream sandwich and higher

[Q] Fastets ROM for Galaxy S ?

Hi mates
I'm looking for a fast stable and smooth ROM for Galaxy S.
Which ROM you prefer to me?
I know that i must check all ROM's and detect which one is best for my desire's but i want use of your knowledge for test only best one's.
Battery life is not important for me, I'm looking only for performance and speed in running game and app's. ( a daily ROM with working camera ant etc... )
Thaaaaanks for your advice's :good: :fingers-crossed:

I'm going to test Slim Bean and CyanAOSP...

Add SuperNexus 2 JB Rom, you won't regret it.

Aways Xylon ROM has great performance and customizability. Its well worth a look but unfortunately aways has discontinued ROM development.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

C-Rom Mix by Aways is great take a look!
I had a lot of Problems with other Roms but this one got me hooked. Great Atutu benchmarks etc.

Im running helly bean and I can say it's the fastest rom I ever flashed, it's smooooth as hell
also I o.c my phone to 1320 mhz with 408 mb of ram, it's stable and running games without lagging . you should try it
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

If you want a ROM that run Games smooth, i recommand you to take a look at the "CyanAOSP".
I already tested some roms and i really like CyanAOSP, soo smooth and verry good for Gaming.
Tested on: Asphalt 7 , Real Fotbal 2013, Gangstar City, Subway Surfers, Temple Run, Asphalt 6, Earn to Die, Drag Racing, Need For Speed HP, Fifa 12 , Sky Safari and many others, No lag. and get 4400+ on Antutu.

All jb ROMs are smooth;specifically AWAYS ROMs.

[Q] Lower quadrant scores with cm 10.1?

Try different kernel and different combination of scheduler and governor. Every kernel have a "performance" governor.
Btw don't forget that the benchmark are not really representative of the true performance of a device.
It is always good to have some big numbers, but some benchmark apps can be hacked easily to show to incredible scores (and in particular Quadrant).

same for me. closest i got to stock was running pure aosp.

But without looking at the scores, how the performance of your phone in games with cm10.1, isn't the global interface smoother, aren't the games faster?

CM sucks. Seriously. Some games do run better, but sadly some run worse too. Seems to be the more complex ones that depend more on I/O performance than the cpu/gpu

Did you install CM nightlies? I heard they are more bug-free and has better performance than RC versions.By the way, don't expect any custom ROMs to be faster than stock ROM for the moment, most of them has a lot of bugs or performance issues, stock ROM is the best choice for now.

With the cyanogenmod 10.1 playing dead trigger and other games i get no fps drops at all! And with cm 10.1 theres no freaking brightness temperature control ****, thats in v20a.

The screen dim can be disabled by renaming or deleting /system/bin/thermald. Which kernel are you using? I find CM to be laggy in my games, there are exceptions though, NFS MW is very smooth, but NOVA 3 and modern combat are very laggy
