Hello everyone,
I've been a fellow follower of the forum since I got my Galaxy S about 4 months ago. It is an amazing phone.
I've tried CM7 at the beginning, MIUI and several ROMs (currently with Darkys 10.1) and I had always a problem.
With CM7/MIUI the problem is battery life and some incompatibilities like codecs, playing flv files and so on. I am really having problems to know the current state of CM7 cores, mostly about if the battery life is comparable with stock rom.
I really want to try something that is still evolving but stable, that when I want to upgrade I don't have to wipe everything, and that I don't need to spend days to have everything working.
My main concern is battery life when using 3G, now it is simple not enough and the quantity of applications that can be run in background. For GPS I use GPS AIDS and seems to work fine.
So I really want to stick to only one ROM (Darky for me is too slow for updates and I have some issues with it)
EDIT: I am currently testing CM
Thanks!
if you want speed choose MIUI / CM7
If you want battery life Choose something similar to stock
if you want both ............ Tough sh!t lol

U can try Juwe's Rom 5.3 JVR it's fast, stable and has a good battery life.
I was on Darky's 10.2 befor flashing Juwe's 5.3 and i'm happy with it
People say's that S.U.R.F.A.C.E. has a good battery life too, I didn't tried it.
insanity cm is my advice, helpful thread, if you know what you are doing, good speed and stability, top developer...nitr8, and all good fun

I used CM7 once, but what is so special about it? I only saw speed y the selectable themes. Then I had compatibility and codec issues, also needed to find some driver for the pc to use usb tethering.
I installed juwe over JVH with Darkys but I am getting FC with EDT app and reboots in the browser.... any ideas? Something wrong? I installed it via CMW with Wipe Version.
Also for Tethering you need to copy some script from one folder to another... why the Semaphore Kernel doesn't come with that predefined?
I may try SURFACE as for CM I need to mess with Odin.

One more day in MIUI than in Jetpack?
I really tried Juwe's rom doing all the necessary steps.
But I have a force close error when trying to change the screen delay in settings, also no DPI support as the twLauncher and the browser has some lag.
I think I need another rom.
try this rom called : MilkyS MOD + KERNEL [v1.2]◄ Based on 2.3.4 XXJVR | Odin/CWM | ODEXED!
i had the same issue as u did , and the solutions is ryt above
As I am sure you have realized by now, the reason threads like this very little usefulness is that they almost immediately become Fanboi Fiestas. Each respondent will tell you that their favorite ROM will solve all of your problems and wash your car at the same time.
In the end, the only proper judge of which ROM is best for you will be YOU. You simply need to select a handful of ROMs that seem good to you, and test them out. No advice, no fanboi screed, no feature list can do that job for you.
Reading your posts, I can possibly give you some ideas of what to look for in very broad strokes.
First of all, the battery problem in CM7 is pretty much corrected by recent development. Most users now get about the same battery life as they would on the average Samsung ROM. However, I would NOT suggest you install CM7. If as you say you want to install a single ROM and then be done with it, then CM7 is certainly not for you as updates come every day or two. They don;t NEED to all be installed, but most users do. CM7 is the ROM for those who like to tweak and tune their phones and rewards people who like to experiment and really dig into the nuts and bolts of the OS. Since you say that when you installed CM7 for a little while months ago all you noticed was that it was faster and had lots of pretty themes, and you claim not to have time to even read a thread to learn about a ROM, then CM7 is ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR YOU.
Insanity and MUIU are both ROMs based on CM7 the same way the Samsung ROMs are based on the Samsung android version. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. Insanity is closer to CM7 in look and feel, while MUIU is closed source and by default very much like iOS. Each one has devoted fans, so feel free to try them.
The endless numbers of Samsung ROMs are mainly themed versions of the basic Samsung code, with some kernel tweaks thrown in. You are usually best off choosing the one you like the looks of best, if you choose to go in that direction. Samsung ROM fanbois and devs will usually tell you their ROM is incredibly fast and feature packed, and so much better than anyone else's ROM. Whether that is true or not, take all such claims with a grain of salt.
Go out, download 5 or so roms, read their install instructions carefully, familiarize yourself with ODIN and the three button recovery method...and start exploring.
Good luck.

Hi, Thank you so much for your comment.
I am familiarized with Odin and CMW since I had the phone and I tried so many ROMs when I started. The thing is that now I don't have so much time to read all the posts I only read the first ones with the main info.
Now I will give a try to MilkyS and then I will try CM when I have more time.
I will update you guys on the topic.
Thanks!
i try cm7 it s better but battery drain is too

What do you mean lack of changelog? Its on every post i post a rom post 1 and post 2 included...
http://nfye.eu/changelog
These kind of threads are pointless, like was mentioned earlier, each to his own ROM, some that work for some may not work for others, it does`nt make a ROM bad/unstable blah blah, only one way to judge a ROM, try it out then decide, no need for all this prick measuring...just my €1:74..
Ok thr best rom for you is jetpack, its pretty stable and has all features you are looking for with excellent battery life its very easy to install as the developer of that rom has made a simple yo use app. That takes care of all of the simple steps like wipe/no wipe, which kernel, which theme (two themes - basic stock theme or blue cm7 theme) and which modem! Jetpack's latest version which is v3.1 has some problems with tw4 so i advice you to not install v3.1 and wait for v3. 2 which will be there in 1-2 days as said by the developer!

Hey guys. I might be Rooting and flashing soon, and I'm looking for which ROM I should go for.
I was looking for one with good battery life (I use my phone for Music, Game's Etc.) and hopefully a ROM that has better battery life then stock.
I was also looking for one that had Sense 3.0.
Any chance such ROM exists? Any one tried a few Sense 3.0 Rom's and has had good battery life from one?
Thanks

Virtuous unity 2.35 does go good.... The sense 3.0 is just amaZIng! IF U WANT I'LL POST THE LINK HERE...
arhd is good too but then its over clocked to 1.5Ghz by default, so alot has complained for it doesn't boot up, stays in the HTC screen.
This ROM too gives u amazing performance but its mostly the users taste here...
And not to forget, Coredroid ROM... Man this ROM OS simply fantastic, I've used it before just because of the backlight issues removed it, the backlighta aka the 4 menu butons, doesn't work sadly.... But, there's gonna be an update soon, so yeaaaaaa! It's gonnna have sense 3 with the backlights fixed too...
Hope this helps....
There's one more post I came across this forum...
letmedanz said:
well, as pointed out , the choice is very personal.
it depends on your preferences as there are some differences in most of the major roms.
so far i've tried ARHD, CM7, MIUI & Virtuous unity.
CM7 is quite good if you are interested in having a non-sense rom but the functionality, stability is top notch. CM7 has set a standard not just for stand alone developers but for corporate production as well.
ARHD is a very popular rom and most people using it will swear by it.
it is sense based, and it will feel like a charged up stock rom.
very professional as well.
MIUI is what i used the longest & i must admit it is a brilliant rom in the fact that it stands out in appearance & customization.
every app and every part of the system is beautified and it feels like a totally different phone. if you are looking to have a 'different' yet amazing phone, MIUI is the way to go.
but the major drawback with MIUI is that it is not officially supported for the INCs and thus there are some minimal bugs which can get a bit annoying.
And of course it has no app drawer, works like the iphone.
this can be handled by the wonderful app created by a member here called alt drawer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
i feel this is a must for MIUI.
finally, using VU at the moment and i feel it is a perfect blend of sense components and that little something extra.
looks, feels and works amazingly well, minimal bugs and almost feels like the perfect rom again...
i did however run into a few loop boots recently, but i think that can be worked on.
that's my personal opinion on all the roms...
and i think it would be a good opportunity to give a heartfelt 'thank you' for all the developers here working so damn hard on providing world class roms for us.
Thank you guys, we all do silently thank and appreciate all your efforts!

The great thing about rooting and flashing is that you can create a back up and from there flash everything possible until you find what your looking for. One thing to remember is that you cannot kill your phone flashing new roms as they do not change your BIOS.
Thanks for all your replies guys - does anyone have a link to ARHD?
Sounds quite good
EDIT: ARHD Isn't full Sense 3.0, might leave that one... is Virtuous Unity a good one to go with then? (No bugs, good battery etc.)
i refer to ARHD 1.1.6
with kernel 4
Using VU 2.3.7 .. its butter .. !!! Best Rom with sense 3.0..

Thanks Nabeeltanz for quoting my post
well, to add to the above post, i have personally experienced MIUI to have the longest battery life among all the ROMS.
My usage is quite heavy, 3g on all day, regular surfing with streaming of music for most part, a little gaming here and there, emailing and of course the messaging and calls. most of the ROMS i've used lasted me a full day.. MIUI did a little more.. consistently it would last for close to 2 days. it would definitely need recharging by the end of the second day..
but compared to the stock rom, all the custom roms do provide good enough battery life.

I've also tried pretty much every ROM on here and its by far the best. I've had 2.5 days with standard use on one charge.

Just so say, I'm using Virtuous Unity and it's been brilliant so far.
To all those guys that use CM7 Nightlies (Test Release) with timat 1.1.4 , just want to clarify with you guys that do you guys get crashes on it?
I downloaded the latest test release last night and flashed it after I flashed my ROM and I've got to say that I keep get crashes (com.android.phone process has ended) . So what is the ROM that I should flash? Is it the stable version or the test version.
and can I flash the kernel (timat 1.1.4) on my Virtuous Unity 2.3.9? So what is that is power saving? The kernel or the ROM or both together? (im confused)

I did a full wipe using ARHD 's (Super Wipe) and also using my Clockworkmod's wipe . I performed a NANdroid before flashing (of course im scared) . I had problems on the nightly ROM as I don't know why my Airplane mode keeps turning on by itself.
It will be great if you can help me by posting the exact link for the ROM you use and the kernel you used and even the recovery you used to wipe your entire ROM before flashing the new one ..
I'm still using VU 2.3.9 and I just realized that my battery life sux the previous time because I didnt flash the kernel of VU 2.3.9 (LOL) . I just flashed it and I'm currently letting it run to see how well is the battery.
as smartphone users, most of our main concern is the battery usage.. I would very much like to use CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies but just that I have second thoughts about it because it didnt have the "Quick Settings" or HTC keyboard that I was using on my VU . and I can't find and nice framework which is suitable..
so i guess if you could help me on this issue. I'll really appreciate it .
Just wondering... what's your current favorite ROM for your Nexy, and why?
I used CM7 for most of my time owning my N1. Have it almost 2.5 years now. Very enjoyable experience.
Currently using MIUI GB 2.3.30, with Go Launcher and Neok kernel. I find it very stable and offers everything I need. I also enjoy the smoother experience GB offers for our device over ICS.
I also frequently try BCM ICS CM9, but always find myself reverting to MIUI as I miss working video camera and flash. Although gap is closing fast; flash now working, and video has just arrived.
Keeping a close eye on Sense 4 ROM too
What gets your vote?
PS hats off to all the rom cookers/developers for making the N1 so much fun to own

Which component of ICS that you are holding out for? I have been using ICS on a daily basis.
CM7 patched with PDroid and some solution to place apps in an dedicated partition on the SD card.
I'm currently working with both CyanogenMod7.2.0RC2 and BCMRC3.4Update1 .. I love having ICS working, but to be honest CM7 is better (i.e. more consistent and more stable) if this is your only phone.
I keep on messin' around and just assuming that one day I'll brick the device. That's OK though, a perfect opportunity to ditch AT&T once my GSM device is dead.
Anyway... here is question for you folks going back and forth between GB and ICS roms. Have you found a common internal partition size setup so you can simply nandroid restore back and forth? Or are you using BlackRose to resize each time?
i dont have a favor rom coz every 1 have some thing and not contained with other
now i'm using cm 7.2 its cool and the battery life is good
but the most thing i hate is call program (i dont know the true name) mean when someone call me his pic appear small and all that stile is ugly and cannot sync his facebook account with his name and pic
the sense roms give me a great call program and appear FB account ,....
but drain battery more and i think the camera quality is not good with all sense rom
so
1st - cm7.2
2nd - hyper supernova
ics waiting 4 stable
miui i dont like it
I usually stick with ICS layout when reverting back to CM7 or MIUI.
Now I'm back on BCM ICS

If not, would LightFlow work with BCM ICS? Thanks.
Haven't tried ICS yet, but as far as GB goes my fav is CM7.1

I love all the ics (BCM,Texasice, and Aokp) roms each have their own customization,very fast, and quite stable most of the time. I also like some of the gingerbread roms like cm7 and miui, they are very fast and have amazing battery life. Im not a big sense guy , but with sense 4.0 in dev i will prob give it a go . In the end the rom choice is up to the user.
m so happy
Ok I been using this phone for two years or so
I loved it and had my blue days
I have struggled with a2sd and etc
However I was always unhappy with not having the sense look
And now I am using this hyper sense nova Rom and I am in love with it
I get close to ten hours battery with light to moderate usage
I have a battery caluberation problem but once I solve it ill probably not switch
I am more interested in features than looking so I prefer CM 7.2
I'm running BCM myself (4.0U1 at the moment) but I keep a backup of CM7.2.0 in case anything goes bad.
I'd like to test MIUI someday but AFAIK greek language which I need is not supported, at least for ICS-based roms.
Hi Folks,
I've had the HTC Desire C for a while now, and have tried a few different ROMS to date. I'm currently running Nameless 5.03 on it (a bit old, i know)
I have a couple of questions really.
Ok, first off, what is the fastest, most stable ROM for this phone, as lately it's slowness has become annoying.
(I haven't tried overclocking yet or any of the other optimizations (scripting), but I'm willing to go there if i can't get a decent result with a ROM.)
Secondly, I've noticed in the music app, there are little interruptions sometimes with the smoothness of the music, which is annoying. I then check Task Manager and there is lots of crap running in there. I close most of it.. but later on it's runnig again.
Is it safe to remove these apps/packages altogether (I'm assuming it as, as the phone runs perfectly without them running)
And lastly, is there a ROM out there that is mostly stirpped down with all of these crapps removed already. I suppose what I'm trying to achieve is a streamlined and as fast as possible phone, without all the crapps.?
All answers welcome.. cheers! :good:

UPDATE
R: [Q] Fastest, most stable Peared-Down ROM
I'm running revolution De-Sene rom, and it's a bit faster than nameless because it's without sense (which make the phone slower). Anyway, nameless 7 is more stable and faster than nameless 5, but I didn't tried slim sense yet, maybe it's better than these...

slim sense is not better than revolution, because it's older and is still in 1.0.
the dev has left the forum and the rom hasn't had any bugfixes yet. i wouldnt suggest even trying slim sense

I'm running revolution De-Sene rom, and it's a bit faster than nameless because it's without sense (which make the phone slower). Anyway, nameless 7 is more stable and faster than nameless 5, but I didn't tried slim sense yet, maybe it's better than these...

Sense is hard-coded into the Revolution base. It's not without Sense, sure, Sense launcher is not its default and it's made to look AOSP-ish, but it's still Sense.
For the record, I'm using the latest Nameless now and I'm happy with it.
Thanks for the replies. I'm going to move onto Nameless 7.x today and give it a shot.
Think I will try the OC'd kernel too and might have a play with some of the scripts etc. if i get time.

In all honesty speed wise theres no difference in my eyes between all the major roms .
Pick which rom appeals to you , oc it with the kernel that works best with your rom and then strip the guts out of the rom after installation . Thats delete all the crap that comes on these phones.
Then you will have a fast rom
IF you enjoy listening to music then imho Revolution> Nameless by quite a margin IF you install Kingbeatz . As Kingbeatz > all those awful beats mods that are on nameless .
If you do follow my suggested route delete Apollo music player and use your favourite one as it can be quite buggy. Just be sure to try Apollo first to get an indication of the sq that is achievable . Then try your fav player and see if Kingbeatz actually works with it .
Just ask in the thread and I'll hepl if I can or Russ will otherwise .
Hope this helps
all the best

Just wanted to say I'm running Russell's Revolution rom with the 800 oc'd kernel and it's great. The phone has never been smother. I'm a happy camper!

Is it worth flashing a new ROM at the moment? I mean, the ROMs I've seen are incomplete and I read about a lot of problems? If its worth it, what is the best ROM out now and why?

I don't really know about problems with arman68's infiniROM. It is smooth, fast and battery-life is much better than stock.
Not really "goodies" which can cause issues.
I use the AIO Mod v6, system-apps and debloater and i am satisfied
But, if it is worth is your decision

I think Omar ROM is the best in the moment. Each 3 ~ 5 days there's a new build. That's good because you know that the no one quited the project of something like that, different from Pi-Llama that you never know the next update.
It has great battery life (2 days without charge it), smooth like hell and i'm without bugs at this moment. I'm using jully 4 build.

The best you've to do is make a clean install. Wype everything and format all your device, to then install it. Works like a charm. If you install build over build, you'll get lags soon or later.
I hope i helped you.

Same here, works without a flaw - butter-smooth and seriously great battery-life (~6h30m screen uptime, playing around with the phone like a little kid... still 28%).
To be honest, I didn't try Omar's - but arman68's infiniROM is just perfect.

I really thought about trying omars ROM but there are to much issues postet for me. I don't want to make a full wipe twice a week. I want to use my phone
But its a great work what omar is doing. omars kernel is integrated in armans ROM...
I think I'm really considering Omar's ROM it seems less hassle than infinirom even though the constant updates, but I think that if I just backup my apps in a zip or whatever I'll should be fine :3

You don't need to make a fill wipe with each build. You can install it over the old. As I said, there will be an hour that you have to make a full wipe and a clean install, if not, you'll get lags.
I have personally tried both Omar's rom and Arman's infinirom, I don't really notice much of a difference between the two. Omar's rom has more goodies, but imo Arman's is better as a daily driver just because updates don't come out as often. They're both worth trying out. Regarding battery life, I haven't seen the remarkable battery life that everyone has with infinirom. At best, I usually end up with 3.5 hours screen time after two days of use. Omar's gives about the same battery life. Then again, cell signal in my area is average at best.
Oh and one last thing, is you want to use some mods in the forum like shaftenberg's music controls, use Omar's as it's deodexed. Hope you like whichever one you go with, they're both better than stock!

Omar-Avelar's ROM totally worth it. It seems to be the most actively developed and people are liking it.
I came from Moto Defy and Defy+, I was used to CM10 (the best d* ROM ever) and Omar-Avelar is the closest for XT890 I've used so far.
=D
Have a nice day

I think that's the point.
With every respect to any developer here, but we are still on stock ROMs. Omar did some great changes to the kernel, but most of the work are mods, deleted system apps and so on. Tweaks here and there, but not every tweak is for anyone.
Take automatic brightness for example: arman68 tweaked this so much, you can get outstanding battery life with it - if you use it.
Personally I prefer *my* settings, which are 40% brightness indoors, 100% outdoors, that's it. AMOLED lives with its colors, why darken it to get some hours more in standby?
Every user will tell you other opinions, some need extra fps for gaming, some want to swap SD card, some other need very dark screens for reading at night. It depends what you want.
Summary for me: I stay on stock, deodexed it, disabled some Motorola stuff I don't need manually, disable Google Now(!), put some mods in it for my likings and a happy face and I'm fine with it. In general I got same battery life, because the largest battery hog is the display.
You might want to test Omar's kernel for stock ROM, think, that's the greatest deal - but have in mind that you might not see or "feel" the difference.
I second that! Omar's is the best so far, but make sure you do regular nandroid backups.
