I was using Cognition 2.3. The home screen was simpler and has a sleeker look. The app screen was the same. Why does Cog 4 seem like a jump back to my Stock Rom. Maybe I'm just stupid???? lol
Because, you know, it IS a jump back to stock ROM?
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod
whats the point?
why release a new version that is less impressive than its predecessor? Doesn't make whole hell of a lot of sense to me. But again maybe I'm just stupid.
DG's whole point with Cog 4/4.1/4.1.1, is to try to keep it looking and running as stock as possible. Everything that was pre Cog 4 already had an ass ton of themes that were compatible and DG started incorporating them into the ROM's.
DG has a life, so don't jump his nuts and complain about him pushing out a boring ROM. For free. Nobody told you to flash it, and there's plenty of other ROM's out there. Or you can just switch back to your previous ROM.

+1 He even says that he tries to keep it as stock as possible all ROMS have their differences its all about your own personal preference.

I love ALL these custom ROMS I can't seem to keep the same one for more than a week, the only ones that I have been able to kep for long are Cognition and Serendipity.
Cognition 4.1 is meant for people like me that wan custom r o m,but wan it to look like stock 1
I don't think he meant boring like a bad job. Once some themes are ported then everyone should be happy. You can't knock the performance or smoothness of cognition. It will work and be consistent. Maybe it is boring in the fact that you can run it and forget you even have a custom rom going. That's because DG is that good. Thanks again!

Cognition may be boring for some but I need my phone to work and so far it gives me the best balance of features and reliability.

Cognition isn't as much a rom as it is a rooted, debloated, stock setup. Couple theme improvements like extended power. Using a voodoo enabled kernel. It is a setup one could achieve if they updated to kb1 on their own relatively easy.

I liked Cog too, but wanted something different than stock. That's why I loved perception, but its discontinued now. Perception 10.4 is a solid rom, stable, fast, and has that slight aosp feel.
Ultimately I went to FireFly. I love it. I how easy they made it to customize. It comes with an app that will showcase and download the other battery's and dialers. I sometimes feel like I need to enable the lagfix, but haven't yet.

Two posts in the forum and you've managed to criticize the excellent work of one of the most prolific ROM cookers on XDA solely based on your ignorance of what DG does and why. You might want to create a new account and start over. Knocking a guy's work that he provides for free is just bad juju.
I think he can leave his screen name alone. He did not say anything offensive just asked an honest question.

It was an ignorant question, not an honest one. I wasn't in here long before I knew what DG's ROMs are about. Cog 4.x is all about providing a ROM that is as close to stock Froyo as possible without all the bloatware and just a few tweaks to provide better peformance. The kind of things most users who don't want to mess with themed ROMs or exotic kernels want. And criticizing the work that someone provides for free is just wrong whether it makes sense to him or not. I can see knocking a dev for putting out a shoddy product, but with all the choices in ROMs available in here for the Cappy it makes no sense to knock one just bcause you find it "boring."

The Fryetech Rom for HTC Thunderbolt
After making a Windows and Mac program to automate the root process on the HTC Thunderbolt I have decided to put out my own rom.
I kind of did this for my self but I thought I would share. And I will be making it better over time.
I'm making this rom to be as smooth as possible.
This rom is kind of Nexus One inspired but is based off of the stock thunderbolt rom
Right now this is a beta. Just thought I would post it up anyways.
I will be working on it more tomorrow and so on.
By stock it has the imoseyon leanKernel normal v0.85
get setcpu from market to get your phone to 1.4Ghz Sable
Please report bugs here.
This has been updated.
Sorry I forgot to add the gallery + music app. So It has now been added.
Also cleaned up system for a lighter rom.
Video and Download here.

being an ex Nexus One owner, this rom brings me back. seems to be running smooth so far. will keep checking back for further updates and see how far you can get this
PS, this should be in the development section, just to let u know
on another note, you should take off the recent apps from the notification bar and replace it with them toggles a lot of roms have now. i think its a neat feature. just giving u some feed back
Running the 1.0RC very smooth so far, im liking it and looking foward to future updates.

Really nice looking ROM so far. Is there any plans to have Power Control Widgets added to your ROM in the future at least with the option to have them on/off. I know a number of ROMs on the Droid 1 had this feature.
Go! Personally I am using Miui right now. I started on VU and then gave Miui a try. It feels a but quicker on Miui and their seems to be a lot more customization
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Oh boy. I see this going south. I LOVE miui because it has sms popups, themes galore, a nice dialer, and awesome support.
Sense is beautiful, has many variations, the system apps and widgets go on forever, and it really shows off what android is capable of visually. That said, it seems to take a tremendous amount of work by devs to make sense ROMs easy on the ol' battery. That, from my point of view makes them bloated. But, they can be made into fantastic daily drivers as has been shown repeatedly.
Lately I've used MIUI.

You probably think that TJ is being harsh and ruining a fun thing. But you have to take into account that redundant threads like this pollutes the site and when a noob tries to do the right thing and search for a thread he/she needs it'll be harder to find. And all he/she will do is ask the question in a thread that's been answered many times. Thus, it all just creates the circle of problems.

I ran both.
MIUI on Nexus One, which is incapable of properly running even Sense 2.1, having no devs to completely solve everything (trackball wake) and no graphical power to move it smoothly.
Sense 3.0 on MT4G, which is capable of running it fast and smooth.
Personally, I prefer Sense - it is visually and functionally better. While MIUI fixes a lot of things that stock Android did wrong (T9 dialer, notification bar toggles, launcher - in the aspect of adding widgets, smoothness and effects), it still falls short when it comes to Email, text selection (standard Android has selection position bugs and isn't nearly as comfortable as Sense), and just overall visual experience. But MIUI is small and fast, and on older phones it counts - and it supports A LOT of phones that have no better options. So, for me, if the phone can't run Sense or TouchWiz properly - MIUI would be the next best thing to choose.
I go to miui once in a while but find myself coming back to sense 3.0/3.5 only because its just so awesome... Sense is hands down the best thing that happened to android it adds so much to android... Basic stuff like browser ,mail, contacts integration made perfect.... Sense makes android beautiful with brains but miui on the other side is definitely for lower power phones like say moto defy or something like that... Btw love both of them

I agree. This phone is beast. Now if I could just settle on a ROM. If I drank as much as I flash new ROMs my liver would be failing
using Galnet Scotland's latest miui build. Smooth and quick and gorgeous!
Too bad miui has such an iphone look to it.
If I wanted iphone, I would've bought one.
I don't get why people have suck a huge issue with the "it looks like an iPhone" then install a custom launcher... have you tried it yet? Yes the system looks a little iphonish, I'll give you that, lol.

It's such a pet peeve when people compare MIUI to the iPhone. In no way are they even remotely the same.
The only thing that's similar about it is the fact that it has no launcher. Other than that, MIUI is more Android than anything else.
Does iOS have widgets? What about transition effects? A pull down notification tray with an array of toggles? Hundreds of themes and really nice lock screens?
The list goes on.

We cannot justify that the Rom x is better than the Rom y, it depends on our own taste and way of using it.. sense our ICS base ROM's are under development as of this time,
and most of all we just need to provide them some log's in every issue we encounter so that they can work on it, in that way we can have a better ICS as ROM builds progress.. what we can do is to give thanks to our great dev's who work hard to give us the ICS,
but base on my experience i never encounter any issue in AOKP, specially on the latest build
Beam hands down. Smoother faster and better battery life. I think so anyways . But both are awesome!

Everyone has a favorite, for whatever reason, but their reasons may not be the next persons. Personally, haven't tried Beam, and no offense to whoever the dev is for it, but I don't plan to. I'm happy with AOKP, and I'll keep updating it (in fact I need to download the latest) but other than that, i'm done messing with this phone...

I was going to do something like this thread but for MIUI vs cMIUI. Then I thought that people would come telling that it's a personal thing, every ROM is great, they are all smooth and fast... and stuff like that. I think that the OP was asking for more than the general description. What really is it that made you choose that ROM over the other?
My choice here would be AOKP. I have used Team Acid's ROMs since forever, back in the Froyo days when ICBINB and Audiophiles were all over the place. I trust their work and it fits my personality. Constant support and never had an unsolved issue. My dad has been using Valhalla Black since it came out, I don't remember when. He thinks that it's the ultimate thing, still. So, that's enough proof that their work is awesome. Doesn't mean I don't like other development. I have used every ROM, mod and kernel here. Just my preference. Of course, AOKP is smooth, fast, stable, simple, no confusing apps (normal launcher), doesn't take much time to set up to my preferences and it has constant support and updates. But then again, every other ROM has it too. It's very hard to describe the choice, but I can't find other way to explain it.
No disrespect to other devs here. I know Erik, Thomas, Dao, Solrac, Anton and the others do an excellent job. In fact, I'm currently on cMIUI, not AOKP. But I have tried all other's and it's very hard to decided with which one to stay with.
Beam if you want speed and smoothness
aokp if you want customization
