Hi, my question is if it worth flash CM9/10 based roms on our lowend device. If it is smooth and bugless as CM7 ROMs. I tried CM9 long time ego but it was horrible so I'm asking now.
Thanks
If your concern is stability, CM is much more stable than when it sounds like you last tried it. Some nightlies might be better than others, but I personally would not hesitate to daily-drive CM10 at this point.

I've been using CM10 nighlies since nAa released the .32 kernel.
Now at version 4 of this kernel my system is way faster than even FroyoPro..
Here's a couple of screenies to show you.
Odp: Is it worth to flash CM9/10 based ROMs on our X8?
Worthy or not worthy. It's the matter of personal taste.

I'm a pretty average note user.. Haven't rooted or flashed a custom ROM on my note (had a bad experience previously with galaxy s). After waiting patiently for ics.. Only to find out the stock ics ROM sucks and is full of bugs.. I'm a huge fan of CM9 but can't despense without s notes features... Is there any ROM I could flash I've missed? Or should I wait (since note ics source code is out) for a custom ROM with s note features? Can this be achieved on cm9.. I hate touchwiz
Kindly advice.

Since franco snd hardcore have released new kernels lpy is a good daily driver in my opinion. Plenty of good custom roms are out there which make use of these kernels. Fast and stable.

You just have to try some yourself and see what fits you, that's why we have a lot of variety (or try to). We all have different opinions about what we want.
But yeah, with Franco and Speedmod kernels out, it makes the stock ICS roms bearable (well, so I've heard from multiple people as I'm ParanoidAndroid right now ). Also, each ROM will have its Pros and Cons.
Stock ICS (XXLPY) works like a charm on mine. I wiped, rooted and flashed it via Mobile Odin (coming from a rooted GB kernel !). I have removed some of the Samsung bloatware. I have replaced the defaut TW launcher by Nova. I am using my Note intensively since 2 weeks, not a single issue since then. It's fast, stable and the battery usage is more than acceptable. It's the first android stock ROM I have ever encountered with such quality.
That said, I am a big fan of Cyanogen mods (on my LG Optimus 2x) and I will probably switch to CM9 sooner or later but if you want to get 100% of the Notes features, the stock ROM is highly recommended and a pleasure to live with on a daily basis.

The best ROM is the one that works best for you. Try on a few for size and make your own decision.
I'm on a 2.3.6 jw4 ROM and have been for about the last 6 months. I need a change so I want to know what are the latest roms which are stable, good performance wise and have a decent battery life. Thanks

Stable wise - I was using Team Nyx ICS RC5 and it was quite a good ICS rom. I am now trying TAJB V7.1, which is pretty good but has some annoying bugs still it seems, so my recommendation is to upgrade to ICS if you want the stability. I think the JB roms are better on battery though compared to ICS.

If you want a stable ROM, you might want to try CM9 (ICS):

If you want the latest JB, you might want to try CM10 Alpha:

There are specific installation guides in both threads.
You can try TiramiSlim v2.0. Probably one of the best ICS ROMs.

Go with a stock ROM for your requirements. JW8 is very fluid.

Try a solid ICS ROM like Slim ICS 4.2. I never had less problems and I tried a lot.
Cant really recommend cm roms..
Try cm9 with devil3 kernel. Very stable and fast. And there is a offical stable version available now! The devil-kernel increases battery live and performance.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Generally on GB Roms everything should run, because it was released official.
On the other hand ICS runs faster and I have no problems so far.
Slim ICS
Hey man definitley reccomend had absolutley no issues with it literally never encounted a problem
I think CM9 Blueberry is pretty good for daily use. :good:

Hi guys,
i know that Thread is kind of lazy but my girlfriends Galaxy S1 (Stock 2.3 ROM not rooted) is soooo damn slow and i wanna help her with a new ROM,Kernel etc...
Myself is using the newest ICS Release on my HTC Desire but i readed and informed me everyday for best performance.
At the HTC Desire topic im very well-informed but the Samsung topic is extremly new for me...so only thing i did : Stock 2.2 to Stock 2.3
(Kies is bull**** xD ?!?!)
I would like to root my girlfriends Droid but i dont know which ROM or Kernel should i chose...there are sooo much.
Because of that...guys: Whats the best, smoothest and especially stable ROM (especially for girls^^) whatever Gingerbread or ICS...i think JB is not smooth enough like on Desire :/ (too much issues etc)
It would be pretty if someone could help me so that i can boost the performance of my girlfriends phone on the best and stable way.
THX
Try stock android 2.3.6 ZSJW4. Root it with CF Root and she will be fine. Very stable and smooth with no bugs. Yoy can find it on Sammobile.com
For Gingerbread I recommend the Samsung stock roms, which are pretty stable.
See this thread for official GB firmwares from Samsung (includes also a guide for flashing stock roms with Odin).
See this thread for CF-Root, a basic rooted kernel for stock GB roms (it's the stock kernel with added su binary, SuperUser app and CWM recovery).
See this thread for Semaphore, an extended kernel for stock GB roms.
I only tried Cyanogenmod 9 as ICS rom so I can't recommend any other ICS rom, but CM9 is pretty stable (I'm using RC2 atm and have no big problems). To install CM9 or other ICS based roms, you need to install CF-Root or Semaphore first (through Odin), to get CWM recovery.
thx guys, but
@ c_codrut: i don't think that TouchWiz is a good choice...because its still boring and slowly
@stbenz: thanks for your informations, i will look at this. But im intrest about the CM9 Stuff on Galaxy S
I also use CM9 for my desire but its not officially supported...its an ROM from xda (DK-Zero) and its know very stable and without any big issues.
But i used it since 2012/04..and at this time it was very buggy...no mic no camera etc...for me no problem but for her xD not acceptable^^
But my problem is that myself can fix problems on my device and can live with it...but i dont want that my girlfriend need help with every update or something else...she should use the ROM as an almost stable and for daily-usable ROM.
I know that i should or could test it but its not my device and i couldn't walk all day with it^^ (hope you understand this )
It would be cool, if see could use ICS by CM or what about the AOKP ? (i missed that for my desire :/)
So best thing would be a almost stable ICS ROM....i/she dont need that Samsung UI i guess.
CM9 RC2 (from 2012-07-19) or the Nightly (from 2012-08-07) ?
or what about AOKP (Milestone 6) ?
cm9 + latest devil kernel :highfive:
AOKP milestone 6, semaphore 1.3.0s kernel. Fast, stable and she‘ll have unicorns.

Try Cm9 Rc2 very stable
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
With cm9 all hardware works except for fm radio. Some are reporting, that the latest nightlies are more stable than rc2, but thats most likely because bugfixes for bugs reported for rc2 are already merged to the nightlies. But I also think we are not far away from the next rc/final version, so if you don't want to flash too often, you could wait for the next rc/final version.

This guy knows what he is saying. Use CM9 RC2 and Devil Kernel and you got yourself a blazingly fast winner!
ok, guys THX!!!
i will start with CM9RC2...was my favorite anyway
And when i update the ROM ...does it works like on Desire (wiping cache and dalvik) installing newest RC or Nightly?
Or the Kernels needs often to be update?
Hey, I am using this ROM and I can only say it is extremely good, a real revelation after using Froyo and GB. I had some issues with CM9 but it was also great and superfast. i9000 with ICS is like a completely new phone!
Hope this helped a bit.

The kernel gets flashed every time you install an update, so if you have an alternative kernel, you have to flash it again every time you flash a new CM9 version. You also have to flash gapps after every update.
Girls will like MIUI ROM. Its beautiful and have custom theme... try it out.

Hi guys...im back and finished my work
I rooted with Odin and hopefully with the correct Kernel.After that i made a NAND-Backup.
So i wiped everything and flashed CM9 RC2 and the Gapps...and everything was smooth and cool
But so far i didn't flashed the devilkernel yet...the CM-kernel seems ok.
So my question whats the Pros and Cons of the Devil-kernel compared to the CM-builtin-Kernel?
I think batterylife is important than extreme power and high batteryloss, i guess for her ^^
BTW: To make CM more female, i installed a pink theme and a pink clock widget for my girlfriend, she's happy now
And again guys...THANKS...it was very interesting to flash and root an other device (brand) and i saw the differences, Pros and Cons!
In my opinion Rooting on desire was easier and not needed as much informations and readings ^^
I hope she get no big problems but i not averse to work on her device too^^
And im jealous that her ROM runs so stable...on Desire its also stable but the Videocam doesnt work ...damn :crying: (very choppy)
But there isn't a official CMsupport or 100% HWA
i don't know about the devils kernel, but i can definitely recommend the ICS semaphore kernel http://forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
just remove the spaces.
using the smartassV2 govenor, etc, my phone's battery lasts about a day longer than it did on the cm9 kernel
Ok, i also use this governor on my desire and an extra sleep state governor
...the smartass v2 rocks !!!!

woooow nice THX...but lol...i finished my work 2 days before xD
So is it possible to flash the stable Version over the RC2?without any negative aspects?!
The update process is like desire? wiping Cache and dalvik an flash the New Version?
Sry for these noob question but i want a good running system for my girl and cannot test the system many days like on my device
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
You just flash the stable over RC2, flash the google apps, and that's it. No need to wipe anything. If in doubt, make a nandroid backup before flashing.
I used dzo's oxygen a lot and it was pretty good and then i also wanted to try his aurora but it's not that fast for gaming and multi tasking. Is there a rom that you'd suggest using for me? There are different miui roms and such and i can't decide what to install. I don't care about bugs such as tethering, bluetooth etc. as long as wifi is ok btw.
Go back to oxygen or ezet's cm7. You need to downgrade to .32 kernel first.

Our better yet OEX rom
Best rom in my opinion are CM 7.2 by ezet and Aurora by dzo.
You can try both one is GB and other ICS and you can see yourself each rom is best suited to your U8800 because for each phone is different.
Hi, i need a good ROM for my mother's phone, so that should be the stablest possible. It will be good also if it has at least JB and if it's oriented to low consumption
Thank you
Just download the latest stable cyanogenmod rom.I think its the stablest and it is jb

Yes, Mackay ROMs are very good.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
in fact 4.3 Mackay is based on the latest stable release of cm 10.2.It cant be stablest than cm in my opinion.It has some tweaks to run smoother, cm may be a little slower but in fact no rom can beat cm at stability(except 2.3 gb roms).
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=galaxysmtd&type=stable
Although it's 4.2.2, it is very very stable, little ot no lag. Good enough for daily use!

Cyanogenmod nightlies are the most stable for me. Other roms have too many modifications but official cyanogenmod safe and simple
Stock ROM
I am in the same situation. My mum is complaining about her stock rom being sluggish and randomly rebooting. I will probably get her the latest Nexus phone available at the end of the year. However in the mean time could CM 10.2.1 be more stable / faster than stock? She don't need new features but does the later software have improved memory handling ect?
