Are you running an kernal and OCing it? My phone freezes after a while if I leave it over clocked.

no just using standard cm7 no OCing, just dont get why it keeps freezing at night?

Update to cm7 nightly 26. Nightlies are newer and its possible that it fixed that bug. I'd recommend wiping dalvik,cache,and factory because you're experiencing problems already. You don't want them to carry over.

Try Axura...most stable rom I've used.

I had enough with cm. The rc's are not stable and the nightly are gamble. It nulls the 2.3.3 reboot fix. I went back to stock with root and overclocked it. Added widgets and quickdesk pro and am so ****en happy because it is lightning fast again AND STABLE.

The RC is just a another nightly with a milestone anyway, not any more or less stable than more recent nightly builds. Actually I would bargain that, discounting breaking stuff trying to add features or fix bugs, the recent nightly builds should be better if bugs are resolved.

Thank u for ur input instead of assuming and talking down at me. With that said
I am the same way and on the mt4g I still have my wife update her cm frequently but she's on the virtuous fusion now. Anyway I love cm and really was seeing if there was any input for me to stray from it and try something new yet it seems we are still to new for choice of roms

faux's is not based off CM his is AOSP built from scratch it has 2.3 camera and macro shots and such are still available only issue I see with Faux's rom is battery tells the wrong battery level, be at 76% and after a reboot have 64% but thats alot of roms dont know about stock, and I can live with it. seriously best rom yet.

I believe faux's rom is more of a hybrid. He took some stuff from aosp source and some from cm source (like the kernel I believe)

YOU would know best whats stable enough and lag free enough for YOU. im just quite the opposite. 3 weeks or so ago, i flashed the stock/rooted version of 4.0.3 ics. it was stable, fast, everything worked. i thought i was happy with it and stopped my daily flashing. last night i went back to crackflashing, cm9 kangs. the stock rom was apparently too stable for me. and it wasnt just because of withdrawal from crackflashing. i went back to daily crackflashing because it has become a lifestyle
Lmfao hey like your reply I'd the story of my life. Btw how good is the kang one. I personally think that asop is the best but I need better

the kangs/cm9 are getting better and better every day, almost. i left cm9 because the launcher was starting to bug me, it reloaded way too often. cm9 might have had a memory issue then. but, 2 days and 2 kangs later, not a single issue here. everything works just as it should. and its extremely quick and responsive, even with the trinity teuv undervolted/underclocked(880mhz) kernel that im using(but its gpu is overclocked).
So you would say that the kangs is better? If so, I'm gonna keep this cm9 and then flash in maybe two days.

its not that they are better, its that they are compiled on a daily basis. so they are the latest, and include the latest fixes right away.
Well yeah that makes more sense. Looks like I'll be flashing a lot with this cm9. Thank God for titanium backup pro. Thanks for the responses .

I wouldn't say you should COMPLETELY trust the CM9 ROM over all. If I were you I'd run some more tests on which you like the most at the moment and stick to it, until CM9 is finally complete. I'm using an AOSP+ Neapolitan flavor build, it is incredibly smooth I recommend that. I know as soon as CM9 is finished I'm hopping onto that ROM in a heart beat though
Hey thanks. Do you have a link for that build you mentioned

Any stock based 2.1 rom will be the most stable and easiest to install. Gingerbread rock or killasense are extremly stable and great battery life with imo 5.2 gb sense kernel. Everything works perfectly on both roms. For me, aosp roms take too much effort to just get gps working. If i would have wanted stock android, i would have bought a different phone. I spend too much time with aosp making it look like sense.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I really like Sense but fell in love with LiquidSmooth. It's made me a fan of AOSP.
However, I also find it funny that out of like 7 responses there were 6 different ROMs mentioned. Kind of how it goes and just goes to show you that you'll have to try a few before you find one you like. If sense is what you want, try SOAB. AOSP, try Liquid Smooth. Then go from there...chances are you'll go back to one of those two I would think.

Just an fyi. My GPS has always worked perfectly on aosp roms. I'd at least give one a try. They have speed and fluidity that I've never quite gotten on sense roms, although some have come close.

If you like Sense it's a great ROM. If you are impartial to Sense or don't like Sense then there is no reason to not run an AOSP ROM that I can think of. The performance and battery life on Sense ROMs don't even compare to that of AOSP ROMs on the TBolt.

I doubt there's any CM10 based rom more stable than CM10.0 stable. I'm running it right now and so far I haven't encountered any bugs or issues really, except for volume wake being unreliable (likely a kernel issue).

That sounds good I don't use volume wake so I'm good without it, I read somewhere that cm stable wasn't really stable just another nightly but I'm willing to give it a try, I'm so sick of sense at the moment and I'm waiting for the rebuild of viper one s and sense 4+ but in the mean time this will do

+1 on CM10 Stable. Although, the latest Nightly is fine also. Stables are Nightlies to some extent. Maybe just be a "Polished" version of previous nightly. Not 100% sure as I am not on the inside of the building.
Surprised you put this in General ridearoundsolo, you are definitely no Noob--
Haha I debated on where I should post but I decided general since I'm not really looking for a how to but more just to see what are people are using at the moment, but yea I'm on cm10 stable and its working great but it feels too boring compared to being spoiled on viper one s

I gotta try PACman, i've read good things.. but i've been running mastamoon's unofficials for months now.. had a lot of problems with cm10.1 when it came out with bluetooth music streaming, so i tried out his build, he has a few reverts etc that work great.. basically just cm10.1 with a few modifications. I still have yet to try anything wild
slimbean. by far.
I dont think ill try anther AOSP rom for this phone, says the flashaholic
I have rootbox right now, I've read all the AOSP threads and noticed some common issues -
1. phone freeze requiring battery pull, esp during call - I've seen this
2. gps problems
3. 3.4 kernel is slow and unstable
e.g. carbon rom went from using 3.4 to 3.0, now I think its back to 3.4. I like pie controls and AOKP/SlimBean doesn't have them so I haven't tried those.
Not to be a troll, but someone will call me one..
Dont we have enough favorite roms and best Rom threads?

I had problems with Carbon, my home button would "accelerate" so later and later in the day the long press would become shorter and shorter until I restarted my phone. Yes it was a clean install, otherwise I'd be on Carbon.
