ROM Question (Another, i know)

I recently rooted my inspire, first android device, and installed CM7 because it seemed amazing, not saying it isn't. I like CM7, but i like pure Gingerbreads gingerygoodness even better. I am currently running CM7-Phunky Cow "flavored"
and i like it because of the actual launcher and runs higher quadrant scores.
I like pure gingerbread, but i think i may miss the cm7 settings, some i use, also i miss HTC widgets and camera, etc, but i cant stand sense anymore.
Anyone have recomendations on ROMS, or CM7 Flavours/Mods?

Use Ultimate Droid

I have tried that and it seems alot heavier then CM7, and that's not really what im aiming for, plus the theme is wierd on it, im not sure how i'd go with changing that.
What's the reason you use it?

Its very smooth and fast and my speed increased and its just perfect for me

Right now Cm7 is starting to make me not like my phone for some reason so let's put it this way, is there a Stable, User-Friendly, non sense rom out there thats gingerbread?

The nature of all custom roms are beta's nothing more, every rom including the stock non rooted rom is subject to hiccups.

+1. Gingerbread, works great, smooth, slick, and not an lick of Sense. If you are looking to try something different, you owe it to yourself to give it a go. C'mon over to the Dark Side, the water is great!

Pure GB. Fully customizable. Great Quadrant scores (for what they're worth). No problems whatsoever...
And I jumped to the "Dark Side" straight from the latest CM7 build...and haven't looked back....

Well i guess im going to try miui, but how do i get it looking more like gingerbread, that seems heavily modded visualy... And is it using gingerbread launcher or an app launcher

If you're looking for a Gingerbread build with Sense, try RCMix 5.9.x, available for download directly via CWM.

He said he "can't stand Sense anymore".

It's using a home launcher.
If you want a pure GB home launcher, or have it look like CM7, just download ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.
I'm currenrly running ADWEx on mine...
MIUI is fully customizable, and even has its own dedicated dev forum...

[Q] Best Non Sense ROM

Guys what is the best aosp rom so far. In terms of speed and abscence of bugs?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

I think Saga LBC Mod and Virtuous Unity Miui has the best looking UI n faster but lots of bugs

Oh sorry. U r asking about non sense based ROM. Only MIUi is going to be best after some days as it becomes stable. Superkid is working Hard. Let's wait.

yep. MIUI is the best for now.
ZuluGen is great too, also i LOVE Hydrogen
but you should go for MIUI.

MIUI is one of the best, bugs are minimal.

Thanks for that.. thats one of my chiices.. miui and cm7

I have been using Cyanogenmod for a while now. I have found it to be really stable. The latest version (NeoLojik's v1.0.2) has much improved battery life and all the configurability of CM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240177

Using ZuluGen now. Got no bugs at all since I used it.
Battery life is also very well. And it based on CM7.
By the way, need to install some application to use T9 keypad.
Overall, very superb.

I can 100% agree with runagate17. I switched from Stock Rom 1.47 to this CyanogenMod and it feels like having a new device in terms of speed. I encountered no stability problems yet. You can also apply a sense theme, if you need some eye candy.

ZuluGen also based on CyanogenMod, so, can totally agree with you too.

I think all are becoming quite mature with minimal bugs. Just have to try each one and see which you like the most.

Best advice, i completely agree.

Omg, i wasnt in this part of the forums for years
Well, in my opinion your decision shouldnt be about who is faster or who is not. all non sense roms here ( at least miui, cm and zulu) works fast as hell.
The idea is the gui, zulu have a really nice gui that looks and fells like android, cm have a pretty standard android gui and miui have a more ios look
Your choice!

MIUI and ZuluGen from my experience.
Both have great battery life and minimal bugs.
It's most likely a choice of which one you like the feel of most.

just lookin for a rom like Hydrogen..
is there one without bugs tho.?

Agreed! MIUI is a great rom, and is very fast! just takes a bit of getting used to as its completely different to sense!

Anyone flashed the latest MIUI? Does it have any bugs?

but can any one help me decide.? Hydrogen or CM7 ?

miui definatly!

reccomend a rom?

I was going to try the ICS port but dont want to ruin the true one when its out, plus i read GPS is so so and I need that for my running apps.
Ive tried a few but always lean back to stock, but am getting ancy. Can anyone reccomend a nice clean ROM that works well with all the apps and is good on battery.
I might go back to SuperOSR but wanted something different. Tried CY7, Zulu, and like one or two more.
thanks

Cm7 or miui

Carbon is pretty awesome. Its oxygen based so it is IMHO faster and much more stable than cyanogen

Very true, Sad that it's not stable on a developer phone.
For me the best custom ROM is Oxygen, No problems at all.

Cm7 runs very stable for me, even on my old heroc that was barely half the phone this one is, with the same apps/launcher setup.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G running CM7/franco.Kernel

personally i'd say miui over cm7. i was so frustrated with cm7 i wanted to sell my phone. it's a bit better now but it's so hard to switch back to cm7 after getting used to the dialer, sms app and themability of miui. and the stability. all i ever got from cm7 was reboot loops and phone hangs that made me miss my alarms.

Recap...
CM7 = Stability issue for some...
Carbon/Oxygen = Stable/recommended...
MIUI = Stable, alternate experience "no pure google".
I juste got my Nexus S, I quickly rooted and and installed CM7. I was use to it: had a Nexus One.
But, I experience some instability/crash. If my latest nightly doesn't fix it I'll try Cabon/Oxygen.

I would recommend CM7 or Pete Alfoso's ROM or CM7 with Petes Kernel..its much more stable

What exactly is different between oxygen and carbon?
I really like oxygen for all that it is how ever I am nit picky and don't like that it has a different boot animation than stock and I can't seem to change it on that rom like I have been able to on others. That being said I am running NSCollab and like it a lot though I do wish it was more clean like oxygen but like that it retains stock boot animation yet has all the features on it that I like. But if anyone knows how to give oxygen a stock boot animation I would jump ship quick.

i'm not sure of the exact differences, but i can report that carbon feels much more snappy and smooth. i also happen to get better benchmark scores with carbon.

The only differences iirc is that it is themed and has some speed optimizations. The latest Oxygen includes all these tweaks so the only difference now is the themeing.
in response to the original question, if you want every possible feature and option go for CM. if you want a stock experience Oxygen or GPA19. And even though Ive never used it i would suggest muiu just because its so different to everything else out there

I love MIUI but with ICS buzz, I'm going with CM7 and a ICS theme.
MIUI got too buggy for me. I haven't tried the new updates in fear I will love it too much.
LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV

CM7, only because MIUI on the G2x isn't exactly the most stable. I was spoiled with the MIUI on the MT4G, thing was a beast and never had any bugs.
The MIUI on the G2x is good for the most part, but gets slow and has bugs here and there that bothers me so I'm happy with CM7.

I use Miui now and it seems pretty stable. I choose miui because it just looks really nice and runs soo smoooth.
--> Miui and Cm7 are both very good roms.. you should try out both to see what's best for you.

Depends on what CM version you use. You also need to properly factory reset your phone, clear caches, etc because CM7 is a different beast entirely. Coming from other roms, especially stock roms such as Weapon, it is especially important to do the proper flashing techniques or you WILL run into problems.
That said, MIUI should be better now. I dropped off months ago when only Whitehawk was developing for it (aka just porting the latest version). Now we actually have devs focusing on MIUI for the G2x and trying to work out the kinks. It should be much better now.
MIUI isn't as compatible as CM7 with apps and such. More apps will not work on MIUI vs Stock or CM7. Most do, but this is something to expect if you run MIUI and your favorite app won't launch.
I had too much fun with MIUI though. Always changing my lockscreen type, always themeing, changing this and that. Gets addicting.
MIUI is different and most people get turned off by the iPhone-like launcher. But throw ADW EX or Go Launcher and you'll love it.

I started with a Cm7 rom and ics theme and then went to miui recently. Theres an ics theme for it too.
Using the galnet ics version that whitehawk ported over. Miui is different and at first I didn't like it, but I spent a day or two with it and I grew to like it. I think I just wanted something different since ics is a ways off.

Miui
I hated Miui when I first installed it, my phone would boot loop after calls that weren't answered, random reboots throughout the day, and it was a major battery hog. That was about 3 months ago.
I have it installed now and I love it. I have no problems at all with it, save about a 1 minute warm up time for an accurate lock on gps. Coupled with Juice defender and Launcher Pro, I get all the battery I need, and an app drawer with mods that rock!

love miui. been using whitehawk builds since he started and have no problems with stability, performance, or compatibility. I prolly wont even flash ics when we finally get it because its so hard to give up the level of customization miui offers.

I agree but now they have a ics miui can wait to they get on the g2x or o2x ethier way we can get it

yup. hope current themes will be compatible or updated quickly.

miui all day with a touch of an ICS theme. The customization of MIUI is just unparalleled at this point. The ONLY bug with the current build of MIUI that urked me was when you connect your phone via usb to a pc it sometimes freezes/randomly reboots. But with wifi explorer this issue is easily bypassed. All in all i still love it

are you saying that will be on the G2X today? just confused, but if so I'm backing my phone up now lol.

Probably means "one day". I know MIUI was already using some of the ICS source files but since they are based off CM7 kernel, one would think CM9 would have to be out first.
EDIT
Looks like pics have surfaced of MIUI running on top of ICS and the source was annouced... I don't think this means it will come out for the G2x today. Supposedly it is based off the CM9 kernel with hardware acceleration enabled.

I'd use MIUI if it was as stable as CM is on this phone. MIUI is a great ROM, but i always fall back to CM7 after sometime.

I've been using miui for a few days and I must say it's pretty stable.loving the camera as well.OVERALL switching from a mytouch4g I really miss Sense

Infuse Miui 2.11.26

Found the address on YouTube, which directed me to a Chinese language web site. Downloaded the zip installed it and damn,, it works good. I loose Wi-Fi every now and then but I got a program called Wi-Fi fixer, run it let it fix the web then shut it off. I have not figured what causes the drop in wifi because it does not happen that often. Maybe two times in four weeks. Its fast very large array of customizable items. Stable good connectivity. Give it a shot,, works very well.
