Which ROM Performs Better?

Hello Fellas, i wanna know wich ROM performs better in GAMES, the HO!NO!, the Ice&Fire, The FroyoMOD or Plain Cyanogen 7 ???
All those one, or any other that you know, in their latests versions of course
hope you can help me with that, Cheers

In my opinion 2.1 roms are the best for games and multitasking. Exept they have 30 fps cap. After them the froyo roms.

Once you go FM you don't look back.

How about Cronos?

In my opinion, FroyoMOD by Luca is the best, stable, with many features and really fast!

that's right. FroyoMod is the best for milestone

Test one ROM each day, and make your own opinnion. I found CM7 the best, as kalbadan does a very good job, and updates the ROM very often.

to me, plain CM7 by kabaldan is the way. Standard, clean and well mantained. Obviously, it's good if you use your phone as a smartphone. If your primary intent is playing games, Froyo is a better choice

Why exactly Froyo is better than CM7 in games? I've played many games, of course there were some FCs, but generally I managed to play NFS Shift fluently, for example. I use Chainfire, as it helps many games to start.

There is much more free RAM in Froyo, as apposed to CM7 (Gingerbread).

Its rocking!
Unfortunately its no longer part of XDA bkz of some technical & legal problems

Sticked with CM7 supported by kabaldan.

+1 for CM7

I used MIUI us, MIUIandroid, MIUI Galnet, CM6, FroyoMod, CM7 and stock.
The best CM7.

I've tried CM7, MIUI and others but Telus Lite is the best. Light-weight and super stable, it's quite snappy as long as you don't use too heavy apps. And it looks good.

I vote for HO! NO! 7.1.5 . Finally a great stable fully working ROM. Before I be used MIUI and I had stability issues.

Telus lite is by far the best rom for the milestone. When i had it i had around 90mb of free ram. Only downside is that there is no flash as it is 2.1
I tried to port the new gmsil client,flash etc but fwiled since the laws of android api wont allow it :L

I was going to say latest HoNo, but wifi connection doesnt work, which is a huge negative....

So its between telus lite and HONO. How much free RAM on both? Which one is over clocked? I Don't prefer overcklocking.

[Q] Is the performance of ICS ROMs slow for everyone else too?

I have tried a couple of AOSP-like ICS ROMs (HyperNonSense, Virtuous Inquisition 4.0) and I am not very happy with the performance. Pressing the back button often causes a small stutter or lag, and browsing (although fast) has lag on occasion or stutters.
It is not that the experience is 'bad', but it is not as fluid and fast as one would expect it to be from a dual-core phone with the kind of specs included within.
To give you a better idea, my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000), running the BlueLighting ROM (ICS 4.0.3) with a 'mild' OC to 1.2 GhZ runs buttery smooth, and beats my Sensation XE (ICS 4.0.3, tested at 1.2 GhZ 'underclock, 1.5 Ghz 'stock' and 1.7 Ghz 'OC') every time and in every situation: Browsing pictures, using stock browser, browsing applications, contacts, pressing the back button etc.
Why does a phone with a single-core CPU, clocked lower, and what seems to be inferior specs outperform a phone that should be doing much better?
I love AOSP experience, and I would ideally avoid any Sense-ROMs (although Sense-lite are ok, I suppose).
Can anyone tell me what their mileage is, with which ICS ROM, and whether you think there is a ROM I should try?
Thanks!

I also had the Virtous Inquisition Rom on my Sensation and i have to say it works very well.
Maybe you have to try another aosp rom like the Cyanogen mod9 from ultimate sensation,it also works very good for me

Thanks I will give it a try and let you know!
Also, can anyone suggest a good ICS kernel? I have had trouble finding a stable kernel. Some can work fine at speeds above 1.6GhZ, but some will not even boot -- perhaps they are not for ICS. I will have to look around. I am surprised there is (no offence!) little variety and option on offer in regards to kernels -- particularly for those interested in the more exotic CPU profiles.

I have also used both Hyper NonSense (1.5 currently, no longer being developed but is stable) and early Virtuous Inquisition releases. For me, both were quite fast - Hyper NonSense more so, but I haven't used a recent release of VI. In both cases, I stuck with the stock kernel distributed with the ROM.
FWIW, Hyper NonSense has also been giving me EXCELLENT battery life. It's a shame to see development stop on it.

[Q] RAM question

Whats the best rom for low RAM usage? Please share your opinions so I can choose one rom haha
Thanks a lot!

Depends on your needs. Only for phone calls? Gambling? Chatting?
Slim ICS is pure basics.
I use BLACK ICE KANGORADE after testing a lot of ROM's with AirKernel 4.2 'cause it's the best allround ROM. Fantastic battery life, big mem support for a lot of apps, stable.
The best would be you test a few selected ROM's. Each 2 days a new ROM.
BLACK ICE KANGORADE, AOKP B38, KangyUltra, ASOP+ N8, MIUI, CyberGR.....

Like stated earlier, depends on your needs. You may benefit a little from bigmem support kernels if you do a lot of gaming. If it's just for day to day use, most ROMs offer the same RAM usage. Keep in mind Android handles RAM very well on its own. Just use trusted apps and you should be good(no memory leaks).

CM9 Roms are really good for having a good amount of ram
°N€×U$ $⁴G°

what's important is that you have to manage the memory yourself, this will make a bigger impact on ram than the rom does. get rid of anything you don't need: light weight launchers like Launcherpro uses 200k memory if you minimise the widgets, and FORCE STOP Facebook services when possible, it takes A LOT of ram. use no more background services than neccesary, clock/weather widgets uses ram because of their background services. i perfer slim ics, its da best.

[Q] Android 4.0.4 vs Android 2.3.5

My Question is why does decent games lag in android 4.0.4 And On 2.3.5 they work fluid with no lag..
And the interface of android 4.0.4 works smoother and 2.3.5 interface lags...? Why?

I think that would depend largely on which rom is being run and what performance settings are active. In a general sense though, ICS has more features added and an improved UI when compared to GB, and may result in lower peformance.
Perhaps another user can give a more technical explanation though.

You are right! I have tried some build.prop editing and some lagfix and gameboost apps. Interface became a bit just a little bit laggy but usefull. and gaming was just fluently. The ui sucks al the phone performance in apps... thx btw

Question I'm new to custom ROM's and I have a question.

Greetings everybody,
I've been using my X3 Pro (Global) for 2 months and I'm seriously considering to install a custom ROM. I'm concerned the custom ROM will seriously hinder my benchmarks. I only play COD Mobile and I don't want to experience a drop in performance. I got 1009 on single core and 2901 on multi in Geekbench, and I just saw a video where an X3 device running a custom ROM scored 2300 in multi. That's a 600 score difference!
link to the video:
Thank you in advance.
Update:
after the MIUI 14.0.3 update, the benchmarks changed to 980, 2740, respectively.

it's nice to know that you want use custom rom. As miui is not properly optimized for good gaming experience you can use custom rom to make your gaming experience better.
I suggest you to try evolution rom. As it provides large customization options and can give you a great experience while gaming.

Install custom Kernel like NoGravity and you can tweak your custom ROM to get maximized Benchmark scores.
Not like that will result in better FPS in games because your phone will throttle...
