Hi,
Just picked up a GT8.9.
Wondering from others who have tried some of the community ICS roms whether it's worth the update now.
I've been running ICS on a touchpad for last couple months but frankly got weary of changing roms all the time and the idiosyncrasies that come along with it.
Assuming I dont care about the camera, are the ICS roms for the 8.9 solid and smooth?
Opinions requested.
Thanks,
TR
They work well, but no they arent smooth. Possibly its a permanent issue because of the Tegra, but we wont know until Samsung releases an official ROM.
I'm running the Cyanogen Morocco and its veelry smooth and fast after changing from Go Launcher back to Apex launcher. I'm very satisfied.
Absolutely worth it.
The difference is huge as far as smoothness is concerned, even in landscape mode (black sheep of tegra2) the transitions are fine.
I'm running the AOKP ICS port, with [email protected], slight UV (-25mV) and interactive governor, and after two weeks of Honeycomb I feel relieved.
I bet the CM9/AOSP ports are decent too, basicly anything is better then the stock 3.1
is it ok to install overcome rom without rooting my tab? I've been using all its stock features and I also want to try some roms because I think it would be more faster than the samsung stock rom, I don't want to root it because of the warranty,
Can I go back to my stock rom with the csc from my region because I don't know where to download stock rom (for Philippines(XTC) ) for galaxy tab 8.9
I do wonder what people consider 'smooth'. None of the ROMs are smooth as i would describe it, even in portrait. They all have slight hesitation or micro stuttering, none are truly fluid.

Again, I don't know about yours, but mine is totally smooth. Zero stuttering or lagginess. Where, exactly, is the stuttering occuring? In the launcher?

Are you saying your launcher is smooth with stock rom when you hold your tablet in landscape?

No. As mentioned, it is running the Cyanogen Mod9. But, even with the stock rom, it was much smoother than my previous Transformer. And landscape is all I ever use.

Many times I've read here that people have problems with either WIFI, GPS or SMS on the custom roms, that why I still stick with stock rom.
Never tried it but I hear the jellyaosp rom hasn't been giving people any problems.

Is this ROM smoother than stock? Or just added functions?
the kernel is modded and some system/apps are deleted. So this rom is smoother, faster and less batteryconsuming then stock.
I've been using Omar's for the past months, until I needed a more reliable phone (for work). Then I started from Stock and Deodexed (so I could have volume rockers to skip songs), Deblurred (took off all Motorola bloatware), Rooted and Patched ADB (for using adb remount, adb root etc).
It's as stable as it can gets. I lost 2-3 hours learning how to get stuff done, but it worth it.
About Omar's M7, it's great! However, it's still under heavy development. The guy is tweaking the kernel, which is pretty volatile. It may be good for you, it may not.
If you want "stability", I recommend going my way: Stock, then make the modifications you want.
If you want beta shiny new features, wait a lil' longer because right now all the XT890 hacker dev guys (like Omar) are trying to get CyanogenMod ported to our device! And they made very good progress in the past couple days. Its coming lol

Don't use Omar's Rom! It's extremely crappy, laggy, slow and full of errors and you will have to update your Rom every two days and get new problems!
I would recommend the Stock Rom,
or much better: PiLama Rom 1.6, It's complete, nothing needs to be done, it's extremely fast and absolutely reliable.
If you want you can also do the debloater from the infiniRom on it, than you have a superswift system which will outcompete highend smartphones when it comes to felt speed, and also you have more privacy without the Motorola tracking apps.

I think Omar has done an excellent job, maybe it's unstable, but it's becuase he's the one that has put the most effort into porting things that nobody else has in their ROMs.
Don't critic his hard work, you don't even know how hard it is. And he's always improving it.

That's exactly what I stated. It's an experiment, you should only install Omar's ROM if you are willing to beta test it. The same goes for the CM10.1 that is coming, it's coming with loads of bugs and random crashes, and the devs expects us to test it and report in the most detailed way to make it better.
Beta testing is not for the faint-hearted.
I didn't download PiLama so I cant say anything about it. But if it's just the Stock ROM "debloated", it should be good stuff. If the developer says it's stable, then it must be. Omar never said his was stable

Yikes. Omar has done amazing things with our phone, and has been kind enough to share. He has many stable versions of his rom, no need to hate.
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
I've tried all of them and so far i can tell you this:
There isn't a really noticeable difference between all the roms, however they do have it's pros and cons.
Pi-llama is faster but it drags battery like the stock
Stock is stable but not very efficent
Omar's rom is fast and with a very good battery life, but crashes a lot
AIO mod is a little bit faster and with better battery life than stock and stable so far.
It really depends on how do you use the phone, my advice is that you root and deodex the stock and see how the phone works, if you want to make a small improvement start with AIO, if that doesn't do it for you go to pi.llama and if you want to have a really good performance try omar's but be aware of the several crashes.
Everyone is making a great job with their roms, it's up to you to support them so we can have even better software for our phone.
Hello,
I have a maby dumb question. But since I debloaded my phone the battery is amazing 9 hours of SOT but I really like stock android. So here is my question.
Will I lose this amazing batterylife if I switch to stock android? Are there some special sony tricks that give my phone that battery boost?
And so far I now there isn't a stable and 100% working stock ROM for my phone. Or am i wrong?

Having a debloated rom is pretty much as stock as you'll get it.
I know what you mean with stock Android, but the thing is: You simply can't just simply flash a stock Android rom on your phone, unless it's specifically made for our phone.
If the Rom isn't specifically made for our phone some stuff won't work, more important, you'd probably brick your phone.
And what do you mean with there isn't a 100% working stock Rom for our phone? I've been with the stock rom .93FW since like the phone came out and I haven't gotten a single crash or what ever.
Last week my phone became sluggish for some reason, but a simple reboot fixed that.

Ok, so the international model. So if you want stock Android 6.x, my personal recommendations are Android Ice Cold Project (AICP), it's very feature rich while being as close to stock as possible and it has nightly updates. It also has really great performance and battery life, I haven't had any lag and get at least a day out of my battery. There's also Cyanogenmod 13 although it hasn't been updated for a month or so to my knowledge. And lastly another good one is crDroid. I personally recommend AICP because of the almost daily updates, and features, I have it installed on both my M7 and Nexus 4. I haven't had any issues and if there is an issue it's normally fixed the following update.

Android Lollipop with the Google Play Editions are pretty much what you'd get on the stock Nexus experience. A lot of Google apps, and pure stock Lollipop without any modifications. Some do have some modifications to them, and some don't.

Cyanogenmod 12.1 is really the only Lollipop ROM that I have used other than the Sense 7 roms, they have almost nightly updates for their Lollipop builds. Google Play Edition+ is another great one for 5.x, you can pick between stock Play Edition and the developer's custom build packed with features.

If your primary rom is Sense-based then simply download this kernel, ElementalX, and flash it to your main rom. It has some pretty good features too that you can pick from during the installation. There also is a GPE build for Play Edition roms as well. Reboot into the rom just to make sure everything flashed smoothly, and then reboot and you can then boot into your different roms in multi boot. Just make sure that if you change your main rom in Multiboot that it has to have this kernel, I haven't found any other one that supports it. There also aren't any Marshmallow kernels just yet either, sadly.

Hmm. I'm currently busy until around 10-11pm EST, whenever I get done and back home I will take a look around to see if there might be anything. If it's Marshmallow based though there isn't any custom kernels yet. Wouldn't hurt to make like a GPE or Sense rom your primary one and simply leave it there, I do that. I use MIUI 7 as my daily driver but I have InsertCoin Sense 7 installed for my main rom so I can have 2-3 other roms installed. Just some advice if that helps

I think, what would work best for you since you prefer stock-based roms, is download the Google Play Edition+ I linked earlier in the thread, install it as a secondary rom and also flash the ElementalX kernel under Flash Zip. Afterwards go under Advanced, Multirom, Swap Rom, and leave it as Swap primary and pick the GPE+ and let it run it's course. Might take 5-10 minutes so I'd leave it plugged in and charging if you are below 50-60% battery. Then just boot into GPE+, do a quick setup and leave it as a basic installation. That way you can keep your Carbon Rom installation with all of the data and apps, and just pick that every time you boot your phone. Plus it's easier than messing around with different kernels on Carbon trying to find one to make it work and you have a fallback stock rom in case an update or something messes up Carbon. That's exactly what I did with MIUI and InsertCoin.

Yeah, that happens sometimes with mine. Not all the time though, mainly when I'm streaming music in Spotify or Pandora, or if I've been on it for 10-15 minutes on Twitter, email, etc. Sometimes when installing a rom and first booting it, it gets upwards of 50C but cools down after I let it sit for a little while. Also, just throwing it out there because I love the app, if you have $7 you're willing to spend MyBackup Pro is fantastic for backing up everything if you change the rom you use the most. Like data, apps with the app data (not every app backs up the data though) and just like everything else. There's also a free one if you don't care about app data which I'd actually recommend trying that out first. Spares a hell of a lot of time for downloading apps every time. I promise I am no way affiliated with them, like I really feel bad "advertising" them even though I'm not. It's just my favorite backup app xD. Titanium backup is another good one but I haven't used it's backup stuff. Mods you can feel free to edit this if you don't see it fit.
I've searched and I've seen other posts with no responses. So whats your favorite custom ROM and why? I've tried a few but I can't seem to put my finger on the one I like the best and wanted to see what other people were enjoying about different ROMs. Sorry if this post isn't allowed.
Yes this kind of post isnt allowed
We cant say which rom is bad or good or favorite....
Everyone has their own taste nd preference..
All roms there are stable... you should try all the roms...
Nd btw if u are not satisfied with any of the rom....
Just go back to stock!
favourite mostly stable rom = STOCK SAMSUNG.
its actually depend on you. you as the user. you use the phone. you choose. i always end up with stock since all the function i want work on stock.
I think all Samsung based roms suck, because Samsung managed to make the Android experience worse than stock in every way except the camera.
The only N7 based rom which is stable and mostly works is the Nemesis rom with the Nemesis kernel additionally flashed.
Install greenified, forced doze and xposed to give it reasonable battery life.
i did try many ROMS
but evetually i still go back to stock for 99.9% stability and everything "JUST WORKS"
custom rom is good. dont get me wrong, love it especially when it comes to features.
but for me eventually my requirement is stability.. so sometimes i just play around with a custom ROM for like 1-2 weeks then go back to stock
only flash the ROMS that i felt is worth trying

I have to agree with Edan.
Stock is my choice as Samsung have taken all features into consideration.
There are other ways I prefer to customize such as having lauchers.
