[Q] My Dilemma

I love the look of MIUI but the battery is lacking and I love the battery of cm7 but it doesn't have as good of customization as MIUI. So my question is is there anyway I could improve my battery to what cm7 is with MIUI so I could get the best of both worlds. If not then I am going to stick with cm7 cuz its super fast and has ridiculous battery.

As no two batteries or phones are created equal, how is anyone supposed to answer this for you? You could do lots of stuff, but what works for me, is not going to work for you. I use my phone little, I use my phone a ton. You use your phone all day, you never use it. I don't have sense? Or Do? Do you? I sync nothing. Maybe I sync everything. ......You sync what? The equasion is way to large to really help.. You need to play with the phone to figure it out.
There is undervolting, there is removing and freezing, processes - there are literally 20+ things you can do and one of them, or none of them may work for you.
My opinion tho; Miui is horrible. Good luck with that.

Alrighty, then.
As tweaked said, the are so many factors. Until you can get a whole bunch of people testing both roms, with zero variation between setups, you can't properly gauge a response to your question.
I haven't run either ROM, but miui looks like it might have a little more eye candy/nifty stuff. It would seem to me that that comes with a price... Battery. I could be way off the mark on that, so...
Besides, there is no perfect ROM, and if someone had managed to fuse the two roms in such a way as you suggest, it would probably take the form of some new hybrid, but more likely, a major version upgrade/add-on's for either of the two roms in question.

What is the deal with CM7?

TB is my very first android, and i have come a long way, but maybe not long enough
as i can not for the life of me understand why everyone nut over the rom dubbed as cm7?
why???
I have been on almost single rom on the TB, and countless updates on each of them..
what is so special about CM7? do you prefer running linux?? why not run windows 3.1 on your quad core computers?
is it nostalgic?? or does it simply remind you of your ex girlfriend that you loved?
I know the dev team for the CM7 works very hard but so does every other dev.
So is it because cyanogen mod are simply better developers, and with their code other devs could build their rom with their findings..
i need to know, in order to get to the promise land

I guess some people hate anything other than stock android. But tbh I can't stand stock android. It is so boring and not polished.sense is so nice. But cyanogenmod is really fast and responsive. And battery life is a factor

i'm sure a full fledged cm7 has good battery life.
not the current one. everything else seems to have better battery life

Its not bloated with extra crap. I love sense but to me CM7 always seems to be the fastest rom I run on my TB. It started out really popular with the TB because it was the only way for people to get gingerbread on their TB. It has grown so much and is finally, in my opinion nearly perfect. Its been a great trip and people have stayed with it till now and it has been well worth the wait. Stock android(for the most part) is a nice breath of fresh air.

It's not really stock android. It's close, but there's many improvements that work well with the system. OMFGB is much more vanilla than CM7. It's also 100% opensource (unlike sense roms and aosp roms like miui) which is useful if you care about more than the rom because you like to hack around on the source and don't trust certain roms like miui (no offense, but I am not using a rom made by chinese with no source given, just too creepy for me as far as how much control you are giving them aside from the fact they give back nothing to the community).
For the OP's information, there's plenty of information out there (including articles on wired and many screen casts on youtube) about CM7, besides their own site/wiki/forums/irc channel

there is much about cm7 that you don't know.
start here for a very small list of features... http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about/features
but this list barely scratches the surface. none of my favorite features are even listed here, and the cyanogen settings menu has literally hundreds (thousands?) of additional modifications you can make to your device.
i flashed cm7 for the first time about a month ago, and i won't ever be able to run sense again. i've been converted

yeah tons of features you only wish other roms had most of the time. I love the media track skip via the volume buttons with the screen off (similar to what blackberry does). Makes it way easier to switch songs or repeat one when you are running.

Its cause we want android without all the battery hogging and performance issues associated with crap like motoblur, sense, touchwiz etc. Plus cm7 has so much more features than being basically a asop rom. Its provides a lot of customization with your phone, which is what andrioid is all about.

Everything just works on CM7. I can use wimotes for my emulators.

I like the simplicity of stock-ish Android and all the tweaks and customizations CM offers. Sense is nice and all but way too heavy for my enjoyment.

I've only used CM7 on my nook color and was very impressed by its responsiveness and options. I heard of using Android OS's with overlapping UI but I figured this would only hamper on the overall user experience. I'm def open to different versions of Android for tablets. Any suggestions?

Hello my name is _________, and I'm addicted to CM7..............
Another cool factor is that it's available for so many different phones. I had CM7 on my EVO with Sprint. When I got my Thunderbolt I immediately rooted it and flashed CM7. There is a CM7 build for every major carrier in the U.S., So as long as you chose a supported phone your not stuck with some crappy user interface or an older version of Android. The main reason I chose the Thunderbolt over other Verizon 4G phones was that there was a CM7 ROM for it, but then again I'm an addict.

i remember putting CM on the first phone i rooted, the MyTouch 3G... and it was the only one i ever used on that phone. This time around, i've experimented and tried out just about every single ROM for the TB. This time i would say that Synergy is my fav only because i managed to get better battery life with it then CM7(and its overclocked).
that plus, i know its ridiculous but i prefer for the green light to come on when the battery is at 100%, not 90%(yes i know that's just how AOSP ROMs are). im just use to going "oh green light, time to unplug".

who says we hate cm7? I just said it wasn't the best thunderbolt ROM. It's quite buggy as far as cm7 builds go.
I guess my point is that if this is your first time using cm7, would you be defending it as much.

I think he was just looking for pros and cons of the ROM more than calling it out.
Thread is not titled
"CM7 Sucks!"

I rarely use CM, but I think it is a really good ROM, with a good team behind it. Also, basically anyone who is into rooting/romming/modding their Android phone owes something to the CM team, in one way or another. I personally don't like it because, and this is hard to explain, it is almost too good. Lol. It feels like a stock, out-of-box software. I know there are tons of settings, and it runs great often times, but it just lacks the pizazz that I'm looking for. Not like overly flashy drag your phone down kinda stuff, but just a little something extra.
That being said, I, again, really appreciate the rom. I am currently using it on my Thunderbolt until we get some ROMs based off of the OTA if it ever comes, and have also used it on my D1 and Incredible.

best rom?

Hey guys im coming from the htc evo 4g. I just got the nexus rooted. What is the best rom or most popular rom in here?

Miui and cm7. I think are the most popular
Sent from my MIUI powered Nexus S 4g using XDA Premium App

AFAIK there are no best rom, only most suitable to one needs. Having said that, Cyanogen, GPA17 and some other are quite popular...you have to try it to find one that suit your needs.
I did try several of them and ended up at stock rooted rom as I need a reliable handset for my day to day usage (phone, message, email, browsing, no games, hardly music or video)...battery is not a problem for me as I always have a second backup ever since I went to Android route.

stock rooted here. Found it to just be the most reliable and best battery. Plus once rooted there are tons of apps that can emulate the tweaks you get with roms. Love ZeamLauncher.

Hm I found stock rooted to be horrible on battery life. ATM I'm on MIUI 1.8.26 and TEUV88 rammstein kernel. Provides me with stability, better battery life, same performance, more customizability, and more functionality built in.
But it's all preference really. I suggest you try out a couple and figure out which you like most.

For fast,responsive, and good battery life, you might want to look into Oxygen 2.2.2. This is what I use and I can confirm that everything needed for a daily phone WORKS.

miui. personal favorite

My personal favorites are MIUI and Oxygen
You can download latest MIUI at www.miui.us and latest Oxygen at http://forum.oxygen.im/viewforum.php?id=7
I've had great experiences with both. Also, the latest Matr1x kernel has been working great on both. Oxygen has been very very stable for me

Kool man ill give oxygen a try thanks for the info

Hey, I would like to give you my personal experience.
Ive used oxygen, and it really is a beast when it comes to speed and battery.
However, I would recommend brainmasters MIUI. It looks awesome, the speed is awesome and battery usage is ok, not the best out there but ok.
If you want your phone to look very slick and sexy, go for MIUI

MIUI
Never was a fan prior though, was always avid cm7 user and other standard android base ROMS mostly CM7
Gave the new MIUI another chance and never looked back.
I was presently pleased, not only doesn't it look better its more stable and battery performance is allot better than CM7. It also adds allot of features and functionality that other standard aosp NS ROMS don't offer such as better camera, music, faster/smoother browser ...ect
Been using miui for a couple months now and couldn't be more happy don't see myself switching back anytime soon.... probably when icecream is released though

time to update your signature?

I prefer the stock Android Roms. I figure that Google has put a lot of painstaking care into getting the Linux kernel built just right. I tried CyanogenMod, but it seemed to be awfully unstable.

favorite, miui .. very nice and fast ..and highly customizable

SuperOSR - darn fast rom

brainmaster's miui or oxygen 2.2.2

I used zulugen and BM's MIUI.
MIUI is a complete New experience , it has loads of themes and lockscreens etc.
but i dont like the iphone style , so using ADW launcher on it.

I liked MIUI but Netflix video was stutter city, even on Wifi. Switched back to stock and it plays smoothly. Also works fine on Oxygen.
So I wanted to like MIUI (latest version) but there seems to be something going on with a background process that's choking video and causing it not to be smooth...

CM7 or InsertCoin?

I know with ROMs it really comes down to personall opinion.. so what's your personal opinion, go with CM7 or insertCoin, an why did you pick what you picked!

whenever i wanna use sense its insertcoin and CM7 when i dont wanna. i suggest using IC if you dont wanna deal with all these bugs that are present in CM7 because its only an alpha. Im not saying that CM7 isnt usable, but you might not be satisfied with some missing features

Try both, do a backup, you can always come back. I am running cm7.

i was on ARHD and im about to flash IC.. im just too new to try CM7, maybe later.

I stick with IC because baad's releases are generally very stable and he's crazy quick to fix stuff when things aren't working. Plus his rom is as fast as any out there. I do play with the CM7 releases but find myself missing some sense stuff like the camera, keyboard, general ease of customization and proper sizing of wallpaper.
I guess CM7 is supposed to be fast, but I really haven't missed much speed with any of the sense roms tbh. As long as I can play the occasional game and emulate PSX smoothly, I really don't care if sense is running in the background and "hogging up resources".

Can i have a link on both CM7 and IC for 2.3.3 Sensation thanks!

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e

It's all personal preference when it comes down to it. Sense vs. Vanilla. Honestly, I was missing Sense a lot when I switched over to CM7 a few days ago, but the only thing I really miss is the camera, and now I just replaced it with Vignette. If you need the Sense stuff then I'd say go with InsertCoin (I've never used it. I was on ARHD before I went to CM7). I don't really see any of the bugs that people are talking about for CM7 other than not being able to record 1080p without it rebooting on you. One thing I did find though is that my battery meter isn't exact and it's kind of annoying me and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Try both, and do nandroid backups. I'd say a day or two on both and you'll know which one you want.

Depends on your preferences. If you like have all the sense goodies you can flash the IC right now, expecially the new sense3.5 version is really stable and fast, else if you like have an android stock experience with low impact on your device resources and an incredible high responsive system CM7 is the way to go.
This said, i must underline the fact that in CM7 there are some thing that must be tuned up and are sightly less enjoyable and pratical compared to the Sense rom's equivalent sector. EG: the camera in CM7 does really bad when it comes to some shot that goes beyond the typical photo, and the addition of the touch to focus in the last version is not enough to close the gap, and this occurs also in social integration and some other aspect.
Generally i choose a sense rom, but i remove al the bloatware (watch, locations in primis) with TitaniumBackup and i'm just fine. With the last IC i have 190mb of RAM free in idle, and a surprisingly responsive phone, wich is great for me.
PS: i hope my english is good enough, it is some time i don't practice it up now

I am a bit new to all this. Have rooted my sensation. Looking forward using IC roms!

CM7 is basically bug free. If it were any other CM dev it'd be classified as an RC...
What are "all the bugs"?

I alternate alot between incertcoin and cm7 I just can't decide I love them both. It depends on what you like.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

Now which ROM between the two, is the way to go for speeds?
And what are the pros and Cons of each of the 2, IN YOUR OPINION!

For speed ? I would say cm7 with out a doubt
Pros about cm7. Nice interface, minimalistic design, fast, snappy ,cm7 theme chooser, Cyanogenmod settings! Close to stock and very light
Cons- still has a few bugs. Dialer ,camera
Bland compared to sense
Ic pros- has Sense , is really smooth and plenty fast for most, camera ,dialer , lockscreen,nice widgets and ui ,keyboard ,might have beats depending on the Rom you get, some other HTC apps. Nice animations and effects.
Cons- its quite heavy so not as snappy as cm7 but insert coin is really smooth.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

I've tried both and I can say I prefer IC, But after all it really comes to what features you want from your phone, I really recommend you to try both or even other great roms that are offered on XDA.
I personally prefer Sense 3.5 (Therefor IC) because of the awesome widgets and how they integrate with the system.

If you are looking for speed and speed only my advice is go and flash CM7 right now. But, if you care something about social integration, camera, better ui/animation and a set of truely useful and integrated widgets take some time on the IC and judge if it's fast enough for you

Or you can use boot manager and have the best of both worlds.
I have a 3D, but since the sensation is very similar I could honestly say cm would fly on you guys device. Not trying to be bias but on another note I think that AOSP is more healthier for are phones.

You're probably right, but no one can make me give up my Sense.
I, I love my Sense like a love song, baby. And I keep hittin repeat peat peat peat peat
CM7 is quick, but that's like saying u slept with the uglier chick because she was skinnier.
Praos of CM7 are that it's fast, consistent, and backed with high qual developers with stringent standards.
Cons are that all of these CM7 devs are so Spartan in their barebones approach that the phone is lacking in some areas. Not having a full functioning camera that can record hd vid was a dealbreaker for me. I also found that I missed the Sense keyboard.

I had CM7 on my Sensation for one day. It was very fast, especially the boot time was very short.
The interface is ok, but not as nice as Sense. I love Sense, although it is not that fast, i dont know. As I had several reboots with CM7, I switched so the new Stock with Sense 3.5.
Later, when Lee is back, I will go back to LeeDroid. Had there some random reboots, too. Hopefully he adds Sense 3.5

MIUI VS CM7 VS Eaglesblood VS Weapon

Which one do you think is the best? Why?
Adv vs. Disadv analysis is encouraged.
Btw, I am not jboxer. There was a little bit of a name mixup

I've only tried weapon. I have had no desire whatsoever to try anything else. Weapon works! i get 24 hrs. of medium usage or 48 light usage per charge. it's fairly customizable, has many themes for it. bluetooth, hulu, netflix all work. i'm sure the others are great, but i'll stick to weapon. thanks Whitehawkx!

I have used EaglesBlood and CyanogenMod Nightly's. I have noticed no real differences between the two as EaglesBlood is based on CyanogenMod.
Weapon is based on stock, so it will be customizable but retain more of the stock functionality and won't be as widely customizable right off the bat like CM7 and EB. Weapon is also based on 2.3.3 vs 2.3.7. MIUI is also based more on stock but has a redesigned UI that looks a little more like iOS. MIUI is also more compatible with the Asian market and it's phone technology. They all have their downsides, mostly in that some piece of hardware isn't working at full ability. But that is just one of the things about custom ROMs.
In the end it is all up to you in what you want for your daily use. I suggest just trying each one out until you find the one that suites you best and stick with it.

Eagle ftw!!!

I've used EB and weapon, and personally i preferred weapon over EB. i haven't used MIUI and CM7 seems so unstable.

Started with weapon which was great. Tried miui but really to me its an ios knock off gone wrong.
EB is good but I had memory issues with it.
So since as of Oct 25th I have been using CM7 nightlies. They are pretty stable. I don't have any issues. CM is where most developers get their stuff from or they get stock.
With CM you have the latest version of Android. When ICS comes out I am sure CM will have the first stable one
However you do need to try and test urself what is good. Clockwork and Titanium are must have when using custom Roms.

MIUI FTW

I've been using CM7.1. I first scooped it up when I saw the Cyanogen guys drop it in the dev section and have been using it ever since. Battery life is great, GPS is relatively quick on my device and its very customizable, obviously. Only downside for me is sometimes when I'm charging it the phone will become unresponsive and basically give me a blank screen, have to batt pull. I have recently wipe batt stats and haven't had that problem.
I haven't tried weapon yet, but I like most of the stock based roms because of the LG cam and hardware compatibility. I may flash weapon when I get bored though just to mess around with it.
MIUI was one of the first ROMs I flashed because I came from an Optimus S and always wanted to run it. It was a great ROM; batt life was good, really snappy, very customizable again and it looked soooo good. In the end however the hardware compatibility issues caused me to look elsewhere. Was getting random FCs, GPS wasn't quick enough for me, overall not stable enough for myself to run as a daily.
No experience with EB here, but right now CM7 is my favorite ROM. It has a good balance of look, features, compatibility and performance. IMHO of course.

I've used EB, CM7 stable, and Weapon. I haven't used MIUI for the G2X but have run it on other phones in the past. MIUI is interesting to use as something different but the novelty wore off for me after awhile.
Right now I am sticking with Weapon as it provides the most stability and functionality IMO. For example, I couldn't stream Bluetooth audio in my car with CM7 and GPS locking was a nightmare. I also find it gives me the best battery life but that is highly subjective...
Anyhow, with ICS source code being released today I think there will be some serious beta ROMs coming my way soon.
Flash everything and see what you like best. Just remember to Nandroid along the way!

Faux rom all the way.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I think I've used every rom made for the G2x and flip between them often.
Weapon just works but that's boring. I would use it if whitehaux included T-Mobile theme support (aka CM7 themes). The addition to the notification toggles helps lower the burden of use also.
I haven't tried EB in a while but it doesn't get updated much. It runs off a CM7 base... so I figure why not just use CM7?
MIUI does have a novelty that looks like it would get old but if you use a 3rd party launcher and play with the themes, you might find yourself getting addicted to the various array of different apps and functionality. The dialer, messaging, and music apps are glorious. You will however find that compatibility is the lowest and some FC more times then normal. For me it was completely useable. Development for MIUI is being ramped up and I would really like to have a really good stave version one day.
CM7 is what it is. It is the fullest and most worked on rom available on any phone. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as MIUI but overall is a good balance between MIUI and Weapon. It is currently what I use.
What I like to do is view the "Post your homescreen" threads for both CM7 and MIUI. Find something that you really like and go for it. Android is all about custom appearances and style. Embrace it.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

I've tried them all
CM7 Nightlies - Seemed very unstable to me
EB - Just didn't feel it. I wanted to retain the look of stock. (First ROM I used, switched to CM7 Nightlies about 2 days later)
Weapon - Perfect for me since it looks just like stock and has more. (Currently using)
MIUI - Too much like iOS. Why did I get an Android? Because I liked the look of it... Didn't really like not having an app drawer (plus I liked the cube affect in app drawer) I reflashed Weapon about 5 minutes after flashing MIUI.

I've been using Weapon 3 RC1 and switched around to MIUI and CM7 then back to Weapon. I found the user interface of MIUI confusing and CM7 I can't say much about cause I used it so little. Weapon is straight-forward to use and very stable. I will continue to try various ROMs and kernels because I like to experiment and discover what's developing that may be better than what I'm currently using. For now, its Weapon.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Eaglesblood - Worked great but was always behind CM7 as it doesnt get updated as much.
MIUI- Looks great but can be slow and unstable at times
Weapon 3.0- Just wasnt working good for me at all. I dont know why but things were broken (Browser would constantly crash).
CM7- I am currently on this rom and it works great. On the latest nightly havent had any problems.

MIUI. im a recent convert and I really am seeing what all the hype is about now. super smooth, super customizable with themes and my personal fav? NO MORE ANNOYING BROWSER SLINGSHOT EFFECT!! this urked me to no end with other gingerbread roms. I can finally scroll without having to think about it lol.

miui all day baby!!!

Weapon since 2.6. Everything works. Period.

MIUI does feel weird at first but load up a custom launcher and you'll be right at home with Android-like feelings. Once you stop using the default launcher, it starts becoming this amazing experience. The launcher is the only resemblence to iOS (restrictive), everything else is unique.
Once you use MIUI or CM7 for a while, its hard to go back to Stock-like roms. The pros outweigh the cons. I didn't see the purpose of CM7 at first either. It's only until you discover the hidden gems that make it alternative roms simply amazing.
For Example: CM7 and MIUI allow UserAgent changes on the fly to flip between Desktop, Mobile, iPad, Android, Chrome, etc. I personally like the fully rendered pages so I set it to a desktop renderer so I'm not pulling up the crappy mobile sites all the time.
