I wouldn't say its like cm7 it has a lot of different features, such as a fully customizable kernel (on EVO anyway; not sure if it'll be possible on NS4G). Very lightweight download, super fast. Not a lot of bulk like CM. I've used both CM and SZ for the EVO and id stand by SZ all day. Not knocking CM by any means though. Both are great ROMS. Just a matter of choice.

****how is it not like cm? the "custom" stuff is kernel related, we could definitly use some more kernels on the ns4g. but you gotta remember that all the groundbreaking stuff on the evo isnt applicable to the ns(4g and hdmi).
seriously though, i would love to see more devs working on stuff for the ns4g. im not knockin the rom at all. just pointing out that its cm based...

ok, ok. dont wanna argue. it obviously has the same features that set cm apart from aosp. hope to see this rom soon
OK, first of all, I need to point out that while SZ is NOT CM based, it does incorporate SOME of it's features. Both SZ and CM are based on Google AOSP code.
WiMAX is not a CM feature, it is Google code. We use the Google implementation of 4G in our ROM.
Other than the few CM mods we include, SZ has a set of it's own tweaks, mainly related to our tweaked kernel. We concentrate mostly on performance in our ROM, trying to made it less bloated and more stable than other AOSP variants. Right now, we have an extremely fast and stable 2.3.4 base which we will build an entirely different user experience on top of.
Our ROM does include the T-Mobile Theme Chooser so if you do not like our stock look, you can use ANY T-Mobile theme, 4 bar OR 6 bar. We modified the app for compatibility.
Once our ROM is released and works our kernel devs will be releasing a kernel for the NS4G which will really enable the full potential of the ROM.
Once released, check our ROM out. If you don't like it or miss some of the CM features, by all means please switch back. Just PLEASE don't complain that we are CM or that we are based on CM or we should incorporate this specific CM feature. We have worked really hard getting this ROM up to par for the Evo and will do the same for the Nexus S (when the time comes), but these kind of comments honestly just piss me off.
Look forward to supporting the ROM for Nexus S. Please be patient and let me get it working with my testers before I officially announce it.
Noah my raised hand was a vote for "yea."
And I ask of Devs, please dont turn this into a Nazi forum where threads are gobbled up by florid pissing contests. I saw one of the G Tablets best Devs peace because of that 'ish and its pathetic. More Devs equal more heads.
...and more head is never a bad thing.

What kind of comments piss you off? I think your overreacting TBH. Your rom may not be CM, but it has some of the same features. You say so yourself. If this is the kind of BS you and your "team" are bringing to the NS4G side, Ill pass. This has been a peaceful section so far. The evo section is a bunch of know it all hotheads and I could live without that ****. If someone making an observation about your rom really makes you that mad, maybe you shouldnt be dev'n.

I'm in favor of seeing savage zen developments whether its kernels or roms. I used both on my evo and the products performance is outstanding.

Jesus dude, I was just saying that when people constantly say that we are the same thing as CM, it aggravates me. Don't start jumping down my throat, I'm not starting an argument. noahguz asked me to post in here explaining some differences and I did, that's it. I wasn't calling you out or starting crap over here, I get enough of that on the Evo forums, which is probably why I get annoyed when people say we are the same as CM.
I was wondering who was using gingebread or miui
And why
I was on Ginger but I switched to miui
Like the interface better

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
MIUI all the way. ICS will be on it today

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

When using GB I loved CM7 for the notification widgets. I could change the settings without leaving applications on the front.
I love the stock ICS I'm currently using, but I miss those notification widgets. I see there are some roms with this feature, but not customizable yet. And they don't have Edge control which I need badly.
Any idea which rom has worked this out?
J know the cm9s have it an some aosp have it integrated
Yes. Use the search feature.

Its called wigetsoid which can be found on the market. It allows for the widget to be placed on the status bar in the advanced menu.
However, if you're running CM9 they already have it done and can be configured with different buttons.
If you really like them so much you can use MIUI v4. Works perfectly in it.
BTW I also think that its about time someone gets customizable notification widgets in his rom. We have geniuses for devs for crying out loud..
Thank you. I'm very flattered that you think I'm a genius!!

I'm running a CM9 kang at the moment, and really liked this feature in CM7. However, can someone please point me to the control for customizing the notification set in CM9. In my noodness i haven't been able to find it in CM9.
My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work
Seems like this option is getting scarce with ICS roms with HWA. Is it just not possible or is it not baked in yet?
Any one with the capabilities to make a flashable mod to add this function, or even suggest an app that can do this; it would be greatly appreciated.
try pulling EVToolbox.apk from evervolv's ics and it should allow you to use it if its a similar rom....i think...if im wrong im sure someone will chime in but i know its worked on others i've tried but never tried it on decks if your sig is current so worth a shot
@Ben.nesheim
Your post got me thinking.....I wonder if someone could have multiple system apps from different ROMs on one ROM. Like gummy settings, ROM control from AOKP and EVtoolbox from drews build?
I would think there would be massive conflicts, but interesting to consider. Hmmmmm

Hmmm interesting idea. I'll give that a shot.
As far as bastardizing roms, I've had so-so luck. I got CM9 settings on decks and it worked great for a while, but then pretty consistent FC's, I'm guessing some conflict with having both settings active.
I tried pushing AOKP Rom Control on decks but couldn't get anything to happen.
