Hi Guys,
is there a comparison-table available with the different ROMs for the xt720? I'm about to flash one of this onto my stockphone, but I'm not sure which one.
From what i can see there is not much of a difference between them, so which one is the 'best'? Or do they have different purposes?
I know, i know, 'read through the thread', but come on guys, who wants to read to several hundreds of posts... this is becoming much too big to get an overview
Thanks for the help.

Miui has some things in chinese...different interface ......get used to steelepic blue v4 first.....that's my advice..u can always try the miui first!!
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
I've run both
I've run both Miui & SteelBlue.
SteelBlue is nice, but it has issues like launcher hanging for 30 seconds, etc.
I was skeptical about running Miui, so I held out.. But I decided to try it (Khals.v1) & it was good, then upgraded to Khal's v2.
Miui runs much faster then steel, the latest Khal v2 eliminated 99.9% of the Chinese. I use English & it is great... Runs like it was designed specifically for the phone by a manufacturer.... + Battery drains way too quick on Steelblue... Miui battery is best I've seen on this phone. MIUI is hands down the BEST!
I agree...miui is good...but then u don't have hdmi functionality available in it!

camera and camcorder apps are a big thumbs down on miui.
thats one of the cons of using this beauty...miui..
If launcher is slow coming back, you can try adding this is in your local.prop and reboot. It keeps the launcher in memory. Works well for me.
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
I used Zeam, with Folder organizer to change icons, and no widgets to keep launcher memory footprint low.
Works well for me until I switched to MIUI, which is faster for me. I don't use HDMI and rarely takes video, so it's a good tradeoff for me.

I agree the Miui's weakness to be the Cam........
after flashing MIUI i must say i'm impressed. Nice and Smooth. The only thing i don't like it the launcher, but i have Launcher Pro at hand
Camcorder MIUI very bad, but ram free 60-80M
I've tried them all and honestly I'm finding stock 2.1 to be the best after flashing it last night for the first time since February, though that could change with further testing... In terms of the 2.2 ROMs Steel Epic Blue is great as is MIUI. I found MIUI to be faster and more powerful though (but 2.1 seems even faster and smoother right now strangely.... ).

hi guys was wondering if u had tried modaco's rom with sense here

That's more then likely the reason Paul hasn't posted it here yet.
I am running this Rom for few hours. This is the first and only 2.2 sense Rom I have tried. Been using defrost for close to month now.
I have pretty sensitive ears. Is it only me who is noticing definite change in the audio output with this compared to other vanilla froyo roms. The output is louder, bass is tighter and has more punch with my nuforce ne6 than vanilla roms. I can swear there is noticeable difference here.

Hello Tori007
Before I flash the ROM MoDaCo, I was in 1.21.405.4
So I had the application 20minutes.fr
Since I am in ROM MoDaCo I can't find the application in the Market.
Is it removed from market? Or is it the ROM MoDaCo prohibiting the download of some applications on the Market?
Thank you
I just want to be sure I am not missing anything - there are not any Epic roms out yet right? to put it a different way, every single epic owner on the planet is currently using the Sprint/Samsung factory version of Android 2.1, yes?
Have spent a number of hours on xda and google, but wanted to be sure I was correct on this one.
Just really anxious to get away from Touchwiz, it doesn't even really feel like Android.

You're correct, no custom roms yet. In the meantime you could install a different launcher such as launcher pro and adw launcher to give your phone a more aosp look

Honestly, after I installed ADW Launcher, Beautiful Widgets, rooted the phone, and uninstalled all the Sprint crap with Root Manager / Titanium Backup, I'm actually happy with what's left of Touch Wiz. The dialer / contacts / integration etc is actually pretty nice. My phone looks like stock 2.2 now, but has a few nice improvements.

Agreed. I think touchwiz is like a double edgd sword. One the one hand it has a ton of features and usability improvements, on thbe other hand it looks horrible. Launcher pro gets rid of the ugly and adds even more features.
I wouldn't want stock android even if it were available.

wat nid to imporved in xt720 froyo is:
- camera software (increase img quality)
- custom kernel (enable swap space, prepare for future games)
- greater space for cache (enable installation of battle bears -1.apk)
- stock oc to 1.1ghz (battery life can extended by setcpu)
- DEfy's stock music player
- xda xt720 special bootscreen (required a talented graphic designer)
xt720 ll be perfect..

with a locked bootloader, any customization of partitions or kernel is not an option. although some think that the kexec solution is good, its still not working with radio enabled, so who wants a phone without phone functions.
Alright, since people obviously want to put their own ideas out there for this, and since I feel dexter shouldn't be bugged right now, I've decided to open this thread as an idea list, just for suggestion, and depending on how well dexters success is with this phone, maybe we can cook up something good.
I'll start of by saying I feel that porting cyanogen mod would be the best thing we can do, and to stay away from blur, it eats ram like candy, and we already have a ram problem xD
I say no against CM. Let's get 2.2 first and then see if we can get more roms, like 2.3 for example. And Blur shouldn't be on the priority list, but at least on the list as a spinoff. Dexter has done a few roms for the Milestone 1 too, including 1 with Blur as a spinoff.
perfectly working notification lights, better camera app.
the rest of the wishlist is already inside 2.2. So, I'd leave Dexter alone

Miui is based on cyanogen, but is modded to look more ios like.
If you want to mod the hell out of the system itself and like plain beauty, you're good to go with cyanogenmod, if you like to theme the hell out of your system you're good to go with miui.
Swyped from my desire s far away from my pc
Out of the two miui is by far the smoothest. Only problem, as already stated, you become a copycat in a sense. If you're going to go for cyanogenmod, go for reaper. Much faster and much smoother. But it all boils down to choice. Just have a play with both of them
Also one huge problem I have with miui is the lack of an app drawer. Some people don't mind, some prefer it but it annoys the hell out of me. There are solutions for it but none of them are as good as a proper integrated app drawer.
I would show ICS when face unlock is ready
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Functionally and visually speaking, there is nothing better than MIUI.
But if you're talking about performance, speed and battery life... then CM should do it for you. And i agree with dan_fish, that if you intend to go ahead with CM, get Reaper. It is superior to plain CM7
Just shut him up by changing to a different rom everyday
For that, i recommend Sense 3.5 (Endymion). My friend with an iPhone 4 is stunned when he sees the weather lockscreen, flip-clock, and 3D homescreen effects
BTW, AquaSheep's idea is good too
I recommend CM7 or Endymion.
I'm a bit uncertain about MIUI
After using it for a while, I was getting constant abuse of my mates to just 'get a bloody iphone'
MIUI is very similiar to iOS.
Then again, I was using a iOS theme on MIUI
And the experience on it is actually like 90% realistic! !
Literally every aspect of the ROM is themed.

rom updated to cm7.2 stable and deodexed. nothing else changed, as the vibe i get is its pretty darn good as it sits.
this one was easy, its the cm7.2 stable base, with stuff added on top of it. i tried out ra3al's xperia home replacement, and boy was my mind blown. its just elegant, plain and simple. and it runs pretty good on our hero's too.
things added:
xperia s launcher and widgets from ra3al
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557091
xperia s boot animation
and i added the default wallpaper from ra3al's wallpaper pack available in his app's thread, and added xperia s fonts.
im not a developer, i just borrow things i think are mind blowing. if you want and see fit to, please find donate links for ra3al. he is a real dev, and is insanely talented. all praise to him and other devs.
this is cm7.2 final for our heroc's straight from cyanogenmod, so if something doesnt work that is not related to the xperia apps or theme, please ask cyanogenmod.
everything should work, except for an already known about bug with the tools widget. the brightness setting will fc, and its because i havnt had the chance to sign all of ra3al's apps and this rom with the same stuff. im looking into it.
i suggest using an app such as script manager and using a script such as v6 supercharger to supercharge rom and bulletproof launcher.
also please flash a gb gapps package after installing
now for the download link:
HexperiaC

and if you have any feedback, requests, etc, please let me know
Will test tonight report back later

Same here. I saw this ROM on my HTC Evo Shift, I tried it and the widgets didn't work. Hopefully our heros can top that! I do miss the trackball from my hero though. Very helpful in Clockwork! I'll post back when I try it out when I have time!
Running smooth. Really like the launcher and animations. Probably going to keep it till my upgrade in July.

Thank you so much for bringing this smokin' port to the HeroC. I have tried CM 07 previously but this version seriously rocks our lowly Hero!!!!!!!!!! By far, hands down the best ROM I have run on this device...smooth and fast and I have encountered zero issues running this as my daily on Sprint!
sorry it took me so long to respond but im absolutely glad you like it nukeboy
May I ask what have you've changed/added except the launcher? I want to do a same project using the launcher, which is a great app with mind blowing animations, and porting will be time consuming instead of just making my own mod.
Cheers
hey 1ceb0x
i added the launcher and all the associated apks to a clean fresh copy of cm7.2rc3 (which by the way i need to update this so its cm7.2final)
link to launcher and widgets download: http://boekenhuis.net/xperia/xperia_s_home.html
i messed with framework-res.apk and changed out the default wallpaper also
for boot animation, i found an xperia one on google somewhere, cant remember the link off hand
and i replaced some fonts with xperia ones i found through google search (can remember link either).
hope that helps.
The smoothest rom yet!
However, programs sometimes take a long time to load: gmaps, browser, and slacker. I'm assuming these programs expect a faster phone?
I'm not sure, but it seems better than other roms.
yeah some things will be a little bit slow, the pace of android is almost starting to leave us in the dust.
glad you like this rom, and when i get a chance ill update it to cm7.2 final and reupload
Giving this Rom a go. Install and boot went well. Pretty fast 1st boot up. Started up the Market and took two or three times to get to initial screen. Been searching for a couple apps but it seems to stick in loading cycle, and rebooted a couple times but still struggling to find any apps from search as they continue to stick in Loading. Appears to be quick and responsive with touch and movement so far. OK after about five minutes the app Titanium Backup finally came up.
hey cheyennemtn,
glad you like it. those market screwups could have been the market updating, as the gapps usually offered are not exactly bleeding edge.
for titanium backup, i dont personally use it so i can attest to the speed or lack therof on hexperiac, but it could be due to the fact that the heroc is getting older by the day and many programmers are leaving us in the dust left and right.
thanks for testing! if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. im gonna update this when i get a chance to cm7.2 final, so that might make things move a little smoother also.
Cool
Finally installed gapps!
Great Rom
Anyone who stills owns the Hero has to try this Rom. Extremely smooth once everything warms up. Use it with V6 supercharger and it is awesome for a device that is as old as ours.
as a wifi enabled device only
i love going back to the Hero and checking out new ROMs. good work on this one, fun! i primarily use it in airplane mode (with wifi on).
i'm kind of surprised no one has put out (that i've seen) a ROM that removes the radio, dialer and messaging apps. i wonder if i could remove the apps with titanium without screwing things up. no big deal but it would be nice to not see the No Service message.
