[Q] Fastest rom - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I would like to know which is the fastest rom for Defy.
Thanks

probably one that is based on the blurless 3.4.2-131 rom.
so either jboogies or iaio's rom.

..or you can try orange firmware

Fast with overclock or no overclock ?
Would you like to use Android 2.1 or 2.2 ?
For Android 2.1 i think 2.34 Blurless with JIT
For Android 2.2 i like Pays v1.6
It's just for me but i don't use overclock but downclock i dont play game just email wifi gps phone internet .

..or you can see HERE...

Mick711 - You run at lower than 800MHz at all times?

i've set up the clock frequency to 1000 MHz while I'm running any application. 300 MHz while idle.

I don't want to let this thread down
So now what is the fastest Rom??

Barebones<-CM7<-WiUi-<CMiUi<-MiUi

Cm7 is really fast!
my Quadrant benchmarks at 1000mhz/56 are around 2600!
The performance is much better than the stock one.

Miui is fast at first, but I experience major drops in speed after a while. Not to mention the power amp volume bar is messed up. Cm7 seems consistent for me(rc 1.5) haven't tried cmiui. Ms2ginger is just plain weird.

Is there any fast ROM that allows to play smoothly the dailymotion videos using flashplayer with HD720p ON?

CM7 for me by far

CM7 da bomb

lol I was able to revive this thread I see XD
I'm using LiquidArc 2.0 and it's amazingly fast!! But I wonder if there is another ROM faster...

^ Yes, me too. Extreme fast rom, i can't believe if it has fastest...

I've just installed cm7. Was on nordic before that. I experience a lag or rather a loss of smoothness in certain cases in cm7. For instance when scrolling in browsers (tested many, they are all the same) or using pinch to zoom in gallery. Otherwise cm7 is very fast and efficient. Am I the only one having this lack of smoothness?

I don't know how it was later but nighty from 21 was really bad for my moto. Try RC 1.5 it is really smooth.
If you are using nightly try maybe something older like RC 1.5 or

Best current 2.1 ROM for G1?

Is there a working 2.1 ROM for the G1 which has Live Wallpapers with minimal battery drain and also something close to running at a fast speed with GPS/camera/maps/streetview etc all working?
At the moment I'm using SuperEclair V8.2 by XxKOLOHExX and it's fine and all, but the system slows down to the point of becoming near unusable when Live Wallpapers are on - not to mention the huge battery drain. Are there any ROMs which have such issues corrected?
Thanks in advance~
I'm using superD 1.6. I would change to 2.1 if there was something as fast as 1.6. I have yet to see an eclair rom to match the speed of donut.
It's been a while since I've used a 2.1 rom, but when I did, I didnt notice any battery loss from the live wallpapers. From what I know, live wallpapers doesn't even run when your phone is off/sleeping. LWP's turn back on when your phone comes back on, so it's not constantly running.
edit: That didnt really answer your question =)

Hmm yeah that's true - I don't mind if it's not as fast as donut, just as long as it's not really really slow. The 2.1 ROM I was using had great features but it was just too laggy for me.

+1 for Open Eclair. I used it for my everyday rom for months with no problems. Recently switched back to SuperD out of boredom though.
Ohhh, cool. Looks like Open Eclair is the best way to go. Thanks!
latest open eclair or kingklick's ASOP 2.1 v1.9
Cannon 1.2 with 3d patch 2.0 is fully of fc.
SuperEclair v2.4 or v3.0 I suggest v2.4 with Extended Pack.
Kolehe beta 3.0 Rom. I bet theres no Eclair rom faster. flash and see for yourself. But no LWP's though. And you shouldnt be asking for a fast eclair that has minimal battery drain and complain about something slowing down and your using LWP's.
OpenEclair 1.3.0.1 is very feature-complete, stable and the "no 3D" version is fast enough for daily use. The 3D version though is slow. I've missed several phone calls because it takes that long for the phone to wake up and show caller ID.
The OpenEclair devs are promising improvements on that front in the upcoming 2.0 version, so I'd try that out when it becomes available.

is there anything that does not work yet in OpenEclair, such as video capture, camera, SMS, etc?
I have an original MT3G (using Cyanogen right now) if that makes any difference.
Sorry because of the extremely late reply man :S but...
I think you DEFINITELY have to try this ROM if you wanna know what's speed and reliability. It's based off the official aosp ota for the mt3g (my touch 3g) and tweaked out to run flawlessly on the G1

HI!
Awesome!!! I'm thinking about change phone because it's too laggy but this ROM makes all the diference! Thanks for the suggestion.
Now i only have two questions because i had Cyanogenmod and it has Power Control in the status bar like the samsung galaxy i think and i can also change the number of lines and collumns my desktop has, and chage the weight of the widgets.
Anyone knows what can i do to make that things work in this version?
THANKS!!!

Have had Super-E, but changed to BiffMod.
BiffMod is faster on my G1.

Braaaaiiiiiings.... mmmmm... BRAIIIINS!!!
The one I have now is blazing fast, I use from cm4 to cm6 and this thing maybe best so far I have use, no fc and bs since I got it, fancy looks but still maintain good speed. But not sure about juice, my battery is extended one like 3.7 VDC 3000m monster battery so it still last me good 10hr+ even everything is on......

Still a buggy phone!!

The Nexus S is quite possibly the best but most frustrating phone I've ever had. I love the hardware and the android OS. I still get random reboots, sometimes sms notifications never show up, and sometimes when I get a phone call the phone becomes unresponsive.
I've been using the latest NSCollab rom for several versions and have never over/under clocked. I clear the dalvik cache after every update and clear data/restore with titanium backup whenever necessary.
I'll feel like I've been doing everything correctly, yet I'm still left with a phone that gives me a lot of grief. What's the problem here? How can I fix this? This is extremely frustrating with no obvious solution.
I had a lot of problems with the nexus s... Now i have a galaxy sii, but i still have the nexus. Using the nscollab, i had a looooot of problems, now the phone are with the stock 2.3.4, in my tests, everything is fine. I will sell it now.

I don't know what kernel that rom uses but that and settings on voltages make the whole difference in stability. Something like stock rom with stock kernel or cm7 with stock or netatchys kernel are always good choices and will give you stability.
Just IMHO

Truth of the matter is that I've yet to come across a ROM that's rock solid. I've tried them all and always had either lots of random reboots, bootloops, or sluggishness.
I went back to stock last Thursday and it's been butter smooth since. No problems or anything of the sort.

The Oxygen ROM is very stable aswell.
i tried several roms, but after all i came back to stock, it is stable and fast.. I do miss many features from cm7, but i guess i can live without it.
currently i'm trying to find a kernel with a battery life as good as stock one... i really miss bln ...
All I'm saying look into your voltage settings. Each phone will work different and you have to play with adjusting them. It also takes some time and patience.

no ROM I've tried has ever compared to stock, especially 2.3.4, when it comes to stability.
I tried Many ROMs but all before 2.3.4 (end of April?) and none was able to run for more than a few days without some kind of reboot/bootloop etc.
2.3.4 has been running flawlessly ever since.
Current uptime is like 1100+ hrs and that too cause i had to remove battery to change SIM card.
Hi,
I have installed NSCollab 1.0.35 on a week and have not problems on my Nexus S.
To resume, i had some endless bootloop and a lot of reboot on long calls.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
My 2 cents:
I'm on NSCollab 1.0.34, Netharky 1.3.4, KB3, OV to 1.2 Ghz, UV with protonvoltage. Gingerbread 2.3.4
I find this combo much faster than the stock one, smooth and pretty stable. Actually I have some reboots when I stress a lot my device, but they are rare.
So I don't want to renounce to Cyanogen features as the stock rom was really slow IMHO and I will give a try to NSCollab 1.0.35 very soon!
No problems in answering, good radio performance, faster than light (quadrant score: 3600) !! I can survive with a couple of reboot in a week!!
Too much porn?

Why don't you people stop confusing CM7 with a stable ROM? CyanogenMod and netarchy kernel are probably the most crappy android software that were ever made.
I suggest you use Oxygen ROM and Jame Bond kernel. No fancy quadrant benchmarks, stock ROM with basic functions like notification power control and text reflow in browser, zipaligned and all that stuff. Delete setcpu, delete juicedefender and other crappy so called battery savers, do not undervolt and do not touch the CPU frequency. Just let the ROM run like it is supposed to, don't fill it with all the bloatware you find on market that is said to increase performance or battery life, all they do is eating system resources.
I have yet to find a better combination like this for the nexus S, I am using the ROM since 3 days now without a single reboot/FC/freeze/bootloop. I am playing order and chaos MMO 2-3 hours and I can go through the full day without problems, the phone is responsive and simply works, no fancy sh*t.
Using the stock, all is fine..

Fastest Nexus Rom

K guys
since we are flashing new rom daily lets create a poll which is fastest for us
for me i think cyanogenmod is fast
Oxygen 2.2.1 most definitely
...in bed.
CM7 nightly works great for me after setting the overclocker
#Devnull is the fastest rom out there. no question, it flies. follow by #oxygen 2.1.6
I'm on stock 2.3.5 rooted with the Touchwiz 4 launcher. Love it.
I would vote for MIUI (tried it, loved it), but went back to stock because no way to get to EPST and gvoice acts wonky on it in my experience.
i have tried Cyanogen, MIUI (all three) and Oxygen. Oxygen is without a doubt the fastest!
Oxygen is fast but has severe browser lag (just like stock) - I have changed to NScollab based on cyanogenmod nightlies. No browser lag and fast as hell
Definitely NSCollab with the new Matr1x 5.5 OC'ed kernel. Score's well on all front's & is stable enough to be your daily driver

SuperOSR [formally SuperAOSP] though I would say DevNull 1.1 is blazing fast too. Usually its compromise between speed and features. Everyone has his/her own preferences
Oxygen 2.2.1 is vefy very fast : much faster than 2.1.6
Oxygen is faster than Cyanogen, nscollab and Stock, for sure.
Battery is better in Cyanogen

Try Oxygen with matr1x 5.5 : helped me.
Also, you can increase a bit the minimum cpu speed to 400, but will increase battery consumption 1% per hour in stand by.

i'm kind of dissapointed, i was expecting to see some screenshots of bench scores
come on guys show us some screens
I haven't tried many roms, but it's hard for me to figure out a rom faster than latest NSCollab 1.0.38 with Matr1x kernel 5.5
I say this because my phone runs smooth like butter, fast like hell, good battery life...almost unbeliavable!
But in reality I don't think this survey is correct as I'm confident that fastness and smoothness is only a question of Kernel, not the entire rom!!
Quadrant score: 3600 - 3800
Vellamo score: 930 - 940
who told u lyk that?
70% depends on rom and 30% depends on kernel

Hi! Yesterday i got my Defy and I installed 2.2 update with Motorola Software Updater and I wanted to install a custom rom like MIUI or CM7 but i dont know whats better . So u can tell me please whats better from them? I heard that CM7 has some wifi errors but they can be fixed...
P.S : i have Red Lens and i want to put and 720p mod after...
try cm7 if you want more customized rom
MIUI if you want more display features
for 720: you can search google and the market for camcoder apps that supports 720p

Quadrant isnt everything, MIUI have the looks, and maybe less bugs, but even CM7 is very very smooth and fast, am using RC1.5, i have not experienced any of the bugs (wifi/gps/battery), easily customizable as opposed to MIUI.
I've had miui before, but it seemed to be a bit laggy, comparing to my ipod touch's menu. The apple smoothness is just great and I thought I can't get that smoothness on my defy. Then I installed cm7 on my defy and, magically, it runs veery smoothly without any lags. thought Miui was good. Yes, it was, but cm7 is just great!
and screw quadrant, unless you want to be happy with higher numbers

I've been trying the different roms I've found here and so far the best for me is Waj's MIUI version. Maybe because I'm a newb, but CM7 started looping on FC after I tried to enable 3G only in my Defy.
And the MIUI versions just didn't do it. The only thing I need now is to add a 720p addon for the video.
Can we record 720p from a green lens ??
CM7 is a wonderful ROM

Some of us do have issues with wifi in CM7. I installed RC 1.5 + nightly and started having issues with the same routers that used to work perfectly in 2.2.
But I would not recommend CM7 any less because of that. Install and see if it affects you, as this seem to be a issue with only a small percentage of us.

Is this a fact? I was blown away by CM7 performance over stock 2.2, but I'm having some wifi issues with CM7. Is MIUI performance also so much better than stock?
Green lens does not support 720p. Only the red lens.
MIUI does have a better performance over stock but they are based off CM7 with added visual enhancements. There are alot of app incompatibilities and constant fc's. I have used MIUI but got annoyed with all the errors. Wifi is fine and they update every Friday but just too many problems for me. I am using CM7 now and I love it. No wifi issues but I haven't tried any nightly's yet either.

i own a green lensed Defy and i've flashed the MS2Ginger with Blur.
Gotta say i loved the interface (bright and bluish) and the text cursor is very usefull (seem like the "rule" in MS Word) and it has nice effects when showing Views and that animation when the screen rotate, just like iOS does.
but i it has a lot of FC, it's pretty laggy sometimes (the maximum free mem i got once was like ~100MB) an its 3D performace is poor.
i'll reflash again and i'll try a CM7. I was considering that JBoogie 3 that is based on CM7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158238&page=3)
What would you suggest? The thing is that it lacks theme support...
About that, does anyone know where i can find CM7 themes? Is there an overhead for using them? Is there a way to install "animations" (such this screen-rotating one)?
Thanks
(btw: what's the best Caller/Phonebook that syncs pics with FB? is a "caller" interface able to change the, ahm, "answerer" interface?
what about gps with loaded map info?)

Jboogie 3 is good and has a Ginger release but has an issue with no social network syncing. If you are going to go with something based on CM7 go with CM7. It has the theme support with the new Theme Choser and in the market there is a Theme Chowder Themes which has a large list of usable themes. As for the animations, I'm not sure about that.
Facebook app automatically syncs your pics but if you want a new contact book and dialer I would sugjest Phoneface. GPS, definitely CoPilot 8 live. All maps are preloaded so no data needed and completely removes the need for another GPS unit.

Best way to turn Evo 4G into media player?

So I have an Evo which I don't use for anything. It has not number on it and I don't need it as a back up. I use it only for listening to music (speaker only) and taking and watching videos. Sometime I may connect it to wifi to download a certain app or to watch something on YouTube. So this thread could be called a survey I guess? But what's the best ROM out here for me to put on the phone in my case? I basically want battery life + performance + louder speaker (the Evo speaker sucks compared to my other phones sadly). I flashed the 4 kornerz (sorry if I misspelled) ROM and flashed the beats audio and the underworld kernel, but noticed a lag after flashing that kernel so I re-flashed the stock kernel.
I have not had time to actually use it and test out how it goes with my usage but I think it'll be alright?
I have also used Energy ROM (kills my batttery too quick) and CM7 (phone speaker isn't loud enough) so what other ROMs would you recommend for me? Or what mods or kernels would work with 4kornerz ROM that would ensure better battery life?

That's exactly the kind of answer I'm looking for thanks =). I thought about trying an ICS build but wasn't too sure if I wanted to because I thought it might have some bugs or be laggy or have not so great battery life or sound quality decreased. But I'm going to test out 4 kornerz for a bit then will try your settings next. Thanks for the reply =).
Wait.. what's the ROM your using lol? When I first read it I thought you were talking about one of the ICS builds but I'm starting to have second thoughts. I'm not very familiar with every ROM out here because I barely use the Evo but can you post the link to the ROM? Or at least tell me what's the title of its thread lol? And also your kernel pleeeaseee.

Decks 1.3d is his famous Gingerbread build. Search for it and you can't miss it. The thread title has decks, and. 1.3d in it I believe. It is legendary for being the best AOSP Gingerbread ROM with the best battery life and stability. Coupled with that kernel the above user mentioned, it will give you tremendous battery life! Much better than ICS at this beta phase.

Is 1.3d better than 1.3? 1.3 is newer...

1.3d would probably be a later version of it, as a, b, c, and d. Probably just minor fixes through out that version.
No, I clarified it. 1.3d is just a beta, 1.3 is stable. 1.3 is newer.

1.3 is newer, but i've had the best results with the 'beta' d version. runs like a beeeeeeeeeeeeeast.
Well I did find it and I will try flashing it as soon as I can. Is the stock kernel that comes with it the one that was recommended to me? Or where can I find the other kernel?
And I'm just kinda starting to get confused. Some people are saying 1.3 and some are saying 1.3d. Which one is better..? Logically thinking I would say 1.3d would be better since it probably just contains little fixes and nothing major updated but those little fixes may be a big problem to me without them so I think ill try out 1.3d unless I am told not to.

if you were having issues with cm7 you may experience the same with Deck's as his is just a custom version of cm7, yet designed to operate on Sprint more effectively.
You say the speaker wasn't loud enough with cm7? Did you adjust the settings in DSP manager?
I have 3 EVO's, 2 operational and on is my 3 year old's "phone," he is an angry bird addict! I have the phone on constant airplane mode and simply turn on wifi when I would like to connect. We are constantly asking him to turn it down so no sound problems here.
I would recommend the cm 7.2 rc1 from the cyanogenmod website, and don't forget gapps.
Again Deck's is based on cm7 though he hasn't updated in a long time and there have been many many improvements to the cm source since he stopped building. Cm7 is also still a work in progress, they are not dropping support for it, though they may bring cm9 to the EVO eventually 7 is the current supported version.
Honestly, I think the advice above is sound, but I still recommended deck 1.3 with Mason v14 kernal without hwa. Or if you want more battery, flash the slightly less stable v15rc G version. G for nonhwa. And then I would clock down to about 850mhz as your Max (don't know the exact value but the performance settings in deck shouldn't be too hard for you to figure out) and then use the wheatley kernel if you're on v15rc or intellidemandx if you're on 14. Smartassv2 would be my recommended governor, but it doesn't play well with media when the screen is off so you take your choice.

Well sound was only a problem to me because I have an Epic 4G which, stock v.s stock, is louder. And I've tried CM7 on my epic and loved it but the sound was a problem the same as on the Evo. But I guess I would give up sound for better battery life lol. I'm going to flash deck's 1.3 right now. But I still can't seem to find the kernels you guys are talking about can someone please post the link to the thread?

So I just flashed the rom with the kernel.
I'm having one tiny problem.
I didn't install gapps (don't really need it) so I tried to bluetooth a file explorer.
I've noticed with bluetooth on the phone reboots? (It happened twice so far)
Ill keep trying the ROM out and see if I have more reboots. If its just bluetooth related then its not a problem

One more thing. Not sure if its the ROM or my phone but the power button seems to not work so well. It turns off the screen normally but turning the screen back on is the problem. It doesn't turn on by just pressing it I have to hold it down and then the power menu pops up and the screen turns on.

What ROM and kernel did you flash? Sleepiness is due to kernel undervolting issues... or kernel related at least. Bluetooth would be the same I would gather... sounds like stock kernel for you!
My original EVO loved underclocking, and I could squeeze a few precious hours out of the battery with the right kernel, governor and voltages. My replacement however will not undervolt at all... not even 25 mA... so each evo is different. I am of the opinion that stock is going to give you the best overall performance.

...are you guys kidding me right now???
Mason kernel is for ICS, as in not Gingerbread so it will break things on Decks 1.3... come on man!!!
If you really want a great experience just flash CM 7.2 please and leave it be because those guys know Android and what it needs to love you long time... I apologize for the inconvenience of bad information...

But on the kernel's thread it said for "AOSP ROMs" and I did flash it and it worked. It does say it would also work on ICS tho.
I think I may just go to CM7 tho.
The april 8th update is better than the official one?

Here is what you want...
CM 7.2
Wipe:
All/factory reset
Cache
dalvik cache
System
Boot
Then flash the ROM, no gapps for you if you don't want.
Mason says it apparently works on GB or ICS, but I don't see how that could actually be possible... though I am not a kernel dev... but your issues do seem to stem from a kernel issue...
I'd imagine using a sense kernel based rom like swagged out stock N would get you the best musical results, since it has a kernel that was specifically built for the EVO, and not something AOSP generic. Maybe throw the zip file in for beat audio, or use poweramp instead.
Swagged out stock N 2.0.9 with universal aggressive lionfish 1.8 is doing REALLY well for me. It uses the go launcher, instead of sense.
haha luckily ICS is based off of a GB Kernel, Tiamat. Mason has two flavors of his popular kernel, the "G" version which CAN be used for Gingerbread AND NON-HWA ICS Roms, and the "I" version which is strictly used for HWA enabled ICS roms.
also jamieg71 has aosp gb build that is being updated more recently if you wanna check that out havent run it personally but if its anything like his ics build it will be great
