[Q] Leaked 2.2 or Syndicate?

Hey guys, first post on the forums. I've been reading them now for a few months, at least with android development, and I've really been liking all the knowledge that's here.
So, I've been looking at the Syndicate ROM (with all the goodies), which looks pretty freaking awesome, but right when I was going to flash it, I saw the leaked 2.2; which, I flashed immediately. I've been greatly enjoying all the little changes here and there, not to mention the simple fact that the community has brought us Froyo. Now, I tried reading around a bit to see what my best option is, but I'm just not sure which I should go with. I like a lot of the features each has to offer. I'm sure I could just go flash Syndicate and try it, but I hate reflashing my phone constantly back and forth. Anybody experienced with both care to shed some light on the subject? The help is to be greatly appreciated.
I should also note that I do enjoy testing software and helping report any bugs I come across, to help development progress easier.

sydicate because 2.2 is buggy on the epic...

This might belong in general. They are both great roms but if you are looking fo instant gratification and stability go with syndicate rom. The froyo beta still has a few bugs that need to be ironed out as it not official yet, try it if ur feeling dangerous but if you just want a fast stable rom id wait a little while before flashing it

Syndicate/Epic Experience. I played with 2.2 for a few days, but Syndicate/Epic experience is a much more stable package with better features than 2.2 offers us now. Its also a lot snappier and more pleasant to use.

Great question and definently needs its own thread lol,but I would go with syndicate cuz 2.2 is not stable enough yet,im runnin syndicate and lovin it-its best rom to date,only thing that could be better is syndicate 2.2.

^ This.

Wow, so far I've had zero problems with stability or bugs. Keep in mind though, I've been playing with it for about two days so far.
It really sounds like I should give Syndicate a shot, with how highly people talk of it. Backup, wipe, and flash, here I come. (And hopefully I decide to do it tomorrow and not after I get home from a party tonight.) Thanks for the input guys. I'm sure I'll post my opinion of the two compared in a few days for anyone who might have the same question in the future.

Yeah I tried the 2.2, but just didn't like it as much as the Syndicate with xtreme 1.6 and the custom theme. Plus, it didn't seem as fast and actually scored lower on the Quadrant and the same on Linpack. Soooo... yeah stuck with the awesomeness that is Syndicate.

I can tell u 2.2 leak isn't as bad as much ppl .said....so far I haven't had any fc or buggss....so I only see a lil bit lag in the browser but that's because flash.....but believed me I won't go back to 2.1 just cuz I really like 2.2 (but that's my opinion)
send it from the Galaxy System Core ....dont mess with it

I'm working with the Syndicate rom At this time and loving it along with the Extreme Kennel. Just think what it'll be like when Syndicate is based on the actual stable Froyo release. Dude, I cannot wait to see what that's gonna be like.

Does Froyo come with the newest Touchwiz to get the newest Samsung widgets?

I had syndicate rom. It was a very smooth and fast rom, but the battery life did not seem to work for me. Apparently the cooker of the syndicate rom thinks my phone is the problem.

I'll go with this recomendation also. I was really excited when I heard Froyo leaked out and it was ready for us to test! But with that being said, like noobnl said, DJ29 is very buggy and Syndicate ROM is so well put together, it's just hard to pass up. So I'd go with Syndicate too. Thats what I'm running now til Ofgficial Froyo comes out...
P.S. I "heard" Froyo will be comming to us within the next week or two...

Yeah baked snack is purrin. I like'em both and I'd like to see a stable " baked syndicate". Baked kernel.....syndicate rom. Yeah, that would be something.

2.2 off fresh wipe is way better but syndicate is a great rom but imo epic experience is better with phoenix kernel is you choose to stay with 2.1. 2.2 to answer the question, lol.

How about 2.2 from syndicate? hhhmmm

I've not had any major issues with the froyo rom but I'm gonna go back to the syndicate rom. Just too many annoyances with the beta. It's good enough for a daily use rom though.

Hi guys, I'm new here to XDA forums. I was just wondering what ROM you guys use? I recently just flashed on Supernova 2.02 and noticed very fast boot up time.

Many people try most if not all the ROMs. Each ROM varies per person and it seems SuperNova is a good new ROM. Usually these threads get locked because the ROM is truly dependent upon user experience, and your thread title is pretty bad so it does not lead people to really think what you want.

I bounce around, current favorites stripped and paragon. Try them all, find what works best for you

I'm enjoying Andromeda v1.1

I am on Supernova as well. I have tried about every rom I could find and always went back to Phoenix 4.5 but now Supernova is what is staying on my phone!

I'm using Cognition 3.04. My wife's phone is on Perception 10.3. I like the straightforward look and feel of them.
It's like what others are saying though, once you flash one you'll want to flash again.

Sorry couldn't think of a better thread title other than that I am new to XDA. I like it here though. Lots of information on different ROMs and user opinions. Good stuff.

I'm digging Firefly 2.1 right now. But like others have said, its all just a matter of personal preference. It's what Roms YOU like that matters. My advice would be to try at least one new rom a week. If you really don't like the rom you install on any given week, well then try two roms that week.

I actually have done about a ROM every 3-4 days for the past 2 weeks. I still haven't settled down into one yet.

I'm on Supernova at the moment.
You can't go wrong flashing anything from Team Phoenix.

Yeah I really enjoy supernova. I also really liked Andromeda 2.1 with the new Tek Mark 2.1 theme but it was very uneasy on my eyes to look at bright colors all day and night long. Supernova's color scheme looks terrific. Very unique.

I'm currently on Phoenix 4.5 atm, thinking about switching over to Supernova.

You should do it. You will not be upset with your choice. Well worth it.

I'm currently on Andromeda 2.1 but thinking hard about giving Supernova a go. After the first blitz of flashing everything on the board I've found that for me it really takes a few days to really get the feel of a new program. I've gone back and reflashed a couple of ROMs simply because I didn't give them a fair shake. I do keep coming back to Andromeda and it will now be hard to abandon it.

Like others have said. Try several roms til you find one you really like.
If you really wanna tailor your phone to your specific likes... try different kernels and modems too... til you get the fastest, most stable setup for your particular phone and location.
Tons of combos out there that work well for some, not so well for others.

I am using di11i'sOC v6.0 as it has Call Record function that I like having available to me. It is also one of the fastest and smoothest I have tested. Battery seems very good also but it has only been two days. I will let you know more after a week or so.......

I'm using Precision 3.0 with SuckerPunch #49 Kernel. FAST and SMOOTH!

Cog 3.04 here.

Welcome aboard. Serendipity is the cleanest imo. The guys that work on it work around the clock releasing updates and are always available should u have a problem. Good luck on ur choice.
Also have call recording although not included in this rom
Captivate | Serendipity 5.8 | Speedmod K13a-500mhz | KP1

I might be a little biased toward Andromeda
^That's my favorite ROM
Until we get all of the kinks worked out of CyanogenMod 7....

Which one is right for you?

So i am familiar with flashing phones somewhat. Used to jailbreak iphones but lost interest since the iphail screen broke and was just a POS in general. Been using a blackjack2 ever since which never failed me till recent.
Big upgrade to the inspire so even ATT Rom would be "WOW" to me. Question is how do i know what rom to flash. Which one is right for me. So many out there.
I am looking to flash the phone and then unlock it but what rom has the least amount of glitches that is running pretty smooth and allows all functions to be used.
Was lurking around for a bit and saw this.

roms are chosen by preference really the only way to find a rom that best suits you is to try them all till you find 1 that you like
now the link that you posted is the rom that i first went with & never looked back try it out & see how you like it

yea from what i have been reading this is confusing and its down to personal preff. Quiet honestly i dont want to keep switching things even though its not that hard.
I was searching and also found that leedroid is praised upon but i think leedroid is just better than stock with the bloatware out plus a few added bonuses vs the link i provided is loaded compared to leedroid.
Not sure on what to do here. I dont mind the battery life staying where its at. An increase would deff be good but its my first nice phone in a while so i want to enjoy it.

I like sense. So I am biased towards sense based roms. But leedroids has been on my phone the longest. I have tried 4 others and of course a stock that I ripped out all the bloat. I keep returning to leedriod. the dudes rom is amazing
Make a rom back up of each and that way you can just return to what you like the most.

Was looking into CM7 as well but seems that its too dumbed down for me. Now im in between coredroid and leedroid...

I have never even tried CM7 - Something just doesnt interest me about it. So Ican;t sway you. But really man, just make a back up of what you have now. Don't like the new one recover. If you like the new one, make a back up of it and try another. Its saves time and you can try em all. I'm a Rom Junkie tho so...Lol

CM7 is very nice I had it for a while and its nice. The problem with CM7 nightly is you will flash alot because they have alot of updates Im currently using MIUI and Im absolutely LOVING IT!!!!! I was using LeeDroid before and it was also AMAZING. I just love how MIUI have alot of themes to go with it and the UI.

Yes or just updates making it better. Yes to me LeeDroid was my favorite Sense ROM. Like that guy said you can just try every ROM and see which one fits you best.

yea try more than one rom. add some rcmix kingdom in there. sense 3.0 is slick. but its pretty alpha (stable enough im still using v 0.1 daily)
dont matter just use some sense and backup before making changes. if your txts are that important, dont forget to back them up too.

I've got to second this - I haven't used MIUI yet, but LeeDroid is the best rom I've used yet. I've tried CM7 and Android Revolution.

I have been liking this rom a lot:

[Q] What rom is legitimately best for mesmerize?

I know, I know, this sounds like a typical newbie opinion question. But I'm not exactly looking for opinion here. I'm looking for FACTS pertaining to which ROM is going to give me the most optimized performance (un-altered benchmarks or whatever) while still giving me the most functionality(I.E. all aspects of device performing as well or better than stock). I got this device a little over a week ago, and really like it. I have been reading thread after thread and just want some help, so please don't think I'm just looking for a quick un-researched answer. I am looking for legitimate advice. I am currently running VOODOO kernal and oc'd to 1.2 ghz and getting benchmarks around 1650 ish? i believe. I do like TW, but dont swear by it. I tried MIUI, and i cant really stand it. CM doesn't want to flash right either, and i don't know which direction i want to go. I also feel this thread might help others in my position. Does PnP offer noticeable performance increases, aside from removed bloat? Thanks in advance for any advice provided!

Heintz 57 is the best, most stable and functional. Everything works. PnP is a very close second and everything works as well. I say try em all. I have and keep finding myself back on H57. It's really a matter of seeing which one best fits YOUR needs and style.

I prefer miui, hands down, and i've tried them all. Miui + glitches kernel, i can get over 3k quad scores. Not to mention, its super cusomizable--super easy to change themes (no need to flash). Not to mention, it's updated weekly by a great team of developers so it's constantly improving.

I am running the same MIUI and Glitch and it is impressive, smooth, very customizable ect. For pure performance I found JT's Vanilla GB V6 with either his new kernel V3 or Glitch Kernel to be the fastest performer. Any of the MTD based ROMs seem to perform better and I won't go back myself.

miui ftw.

Miui is sex. Somebody used to put a lot of hard work into porting it for us, hmm perhaps he's off developing elsewhere.

I heard there is a good trigger rom around somewhere. I forget who the dev was but he used to be here. He was AWESOME! But they kicked him out for some reason

I honestly like the MIUI rom. Everything looks and works amazingly. Only one bug atm, no MMS while you are on Wifi. So.. all you do is just disable it and then get your MMS's, and then go back on. It works.

CM7 is my favorite. It's well thought out by the original developers, looks great, runs good, and will run 3x the benchmark your friends still on stock will! That being said, it's still under development, and will sometimes do some strange things. For example, I woke up one morning to find my screen was on with colors inverted. Had to pull the battery to unfreeze it.
So, for stable ROM, I like H57. It's not as new and sleek, but it's stable and works perfectly!

Can someone post links to the MIUI thread, and links to glitches kernel? I'm running pick-n-pack and ready to try something new. I want to make sure I grab the right files and get this going but I am having a hard time finding the right things. I just need someone that can confirm what the latest files are so i grab the right stuff. I guess I am looking for MIUI and Glitches Kernel. I should be able to figure out how to root, red recovery and use odin out as I've done all of those before.
Thanks.

I would stick with the bundled JT's kernel for the moment. Right now if you flash the latest MIUI then the Glitch kernel, you'll lose all sensors. It sounds like they should have the problem fixed soon, though.

Thanks for the quick reply. Are the links in your sig where I can watch for this to make sure I can do this when it's fixed?

You wont find the latest MIUI releases on here anymore. [mod edit: you know the rules....]

I can't seem to find the latest stable build for Heinz, can anyone link?

[Q] Nexus S on ICS 4.0.3 running really slow. Best case scenario?

I have upgraded my Nexus S to ICS 4.0.3 and it worked for quite a while without any issues, but now it become really slow...I use Go Launcher to control apps that run and switch them all off from time to time, get good battery life (use Mugen's HLI-NexusSXL 3900mah battery), also I don't really use many apps.
What is the best case scenario to "clean" Android ICS 4.0.3 from, I dunno, cash, temp files and other garbage that potentially can affect performance?
Appreciate any help, guys!
Thanks

Hmm... cleaning it doesn't really help with your problem. I believe you should better install one of the ROMs in the development section. They are really smooth. On the other hand, if you want the phone to keep its stock look, it's better to flash a kernel. Some very fast and stable kernels out there, I would recommend eugene373's ICUP Speedy-4 (fast for me, with 24 hours battery life). I have made a thread for helping people decide what to flash, and a small guide for the terms, if you aren't familiar with them. Check out the link in my signature

Go launcher is like the MacDonald's of launchers. Zo you would want a mcdonalds rather than olive garden?

Thanks a lot, this is a rocking advice! Checked the link, will do my best to try it!!

it's like a PC with Windows OS....
The more time you use it and the more apps you install , the slower it gets...
Don't put too much apps,uninstall the unnecessory ones.IMHO stock stuffs (ROMs , kernels etc...) are the most stable things , unless you're an adventurer lol

if you're rooted you can wipe the cache to maybe gain some speed =)

I tried to clean my phone using filemanager and deleted all the folders that were left from the apps I've uninstalled and it helped... I would be cool to have some sort of cleaner/wiper app that would clean the s*** from the phone
