Stock roms are best?

So far in my experience with all the custom roms, ive found that the stock kd1 deodexed rom is best. Although quadrant scores arent best i can deal with this roms cpu. Like i dont see any big changes from OC'ing the phone and 1.0 ghz. And you can still do all the tweaks, butbthe theme seems more best for me. I love bionix frost, and the trigger 0.4. Theyre clean and stable. But i always have the urge to go back to stock.
Am i the only one here, or like whats the best set up with a rom?

At this point, I prefer stock, as I haven't seen any themes that I really like. I would like to make something using touchwiz, but without all the bright text colors and menu icons. Not as desaturated as black ice though, something in between.
I'd build one, but I can't seem to get APK manager to work correctly. or at least I can't figure out how to point it to the correct location of the adb program in the SDK

Thanks for your agreements guys! Lol i felt like i was loner...

I will say, I am on Black Ice, Bali v3.2 with fugi tweaks and OC 1.25 GHz, and ext 4 on data only. I notice a huge difference in respone compared without any modding. Now I will say most of that is due to the tweaks and OC and not the ROM, but I would still say a little is due to the ROM since it removes some of the bloat that comes with the stock.
Although, I will admit I added TeleNav back on since Black Ice takes it out since it is such a large app. I don't care for google map directions as much.

I'm running the stock rom + root and deodexed from whitehawkx though, so I was able to remove a ton of the bloatware, and add a few apps to tweak performance, so it has been running great for me, and I'm getting great battery life (nearly 48hrs).
I did remove telenav, only because it launches a background process that runs all the time, even when you aren't using the program.

Oh i didnt oit any tweaks on mine yet! Lol i just like the feeling of stock.

question on lag?

do this phone have a small lag or has anyone notice a lag right when they got their phone from the store? i come from a Samsung epic and the epic didn't have a lag even with all the bloatware that was install to it, i haven't done anything to mine i haven't even rooted, how can i troubleshoot my stock charge ?

Be more specific, we don't know what "lag" you're referring too. Home page being choppy? Download speeds? Browser being choppy?

when i had got mine and had it stock it was kind off laggy. TW was laggy as well as the notification bar. I rooted and flashed eclipse 1.3.1 and peanut butta jelly time and now have noooo lag what so ever. i highly suggest you try eclipse 1.3.1
i have used every froyo rom and eclipse 1.3.1 is def. the best. also enable voodoo lagfix if u decide to root and flash roms and kernels

Mine had lag right out the box. Not swiping between home screens or anything but when opening Apps like messenging and stuff. It wasn't terrible but I noticed. That has since gone since flashing gummycharged.

I had lag too when I was in stock. I still get lag every now and again with gummycharged but its not as bad. I'm thinking about trying eclipse

why does go launcher keep restarting -_-

Honestly this never happened on Froyo, it started after upgrading to GB(been on the leaks since EP3). Go Launcher just keeeeeeeeeps restarting EVERY time i open ANY app. Go SMS, PowerAMP, calculator, whatever... i press home and all my home pages need to reload(app drawer too). This wouldnt be a huge problem but when the launcher crashes it makes whatever app im using slow to a CRAWL. Poweramp starts making my music skip, if im using my keyboard(Swiftkey x) then that becomes pretty much unusable. SO SLOW.
Anyone know why this is happening?
just for reference im running tweakstock1.0 + imnuts' infinity kernel + ICS fugu tweaks. no supercharger or loopy smoothness right now.

no problems here, and I almost exclusively use Go Launcher... I'm tempted to say its the fugu stuff but thats only because of my skepticism of such "tweaks"

are you using anything different? im thinking its a kernel problem(imnuts makes great kernels dont get me wrng, i mean i was using his for months before imoseyon came along). I also have my suspicions that its the fact that im not using V6 supercharger... IDK. it feels like when the phone runs out of RAM the launcher just closes, which it shouldnt since ive got that persistent memory thing checked in the preferences.
those are just my guesses since weve clearly eliminated the GB incompatibility.

just 12/11 Infinity with TSM and Imoseyons 4.0.0 kernel, no extra anything... the only issue I've noticed is like one hotboot a week but I think thats my fault since it happens when I overload the phone with too many things at once

its so weird too because rebooting fixes the problem for a while, hours even, but im lazy and dont like rebooting my phone all the time because media scanning takes a year. ill try switching kernels tomorrow. if that doesnt work then i guess ill try v6 and loopy smoothness. if that doesnt fix it then its back to the drawing board.
BTW, are you using voodoo screen tuning by chance? i always kinda had a feeling that it was causing the problems.

Android is shutting GoLauncher down to free up memory. There is a setting in GoLauncher to mark it as 'system persistent', but i'm not sure that always works.
On DroidForums I found this, which has worked well for me:
In Terminal Emulator type: su
Then type: echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop
Now reboot into recovery and clear your cache only and then boot up​

I always had launcher redraws on FroYo and rarely on GB. But to fix this you can use v6 supercharger and apply hard to kill launcher.

Either supercharge or do loopy smoothness. For the record, I have no issues with ADW.

Same here, i switched to GO after having insane restart issues with ADW and go was working perfect. I applied V6 and it seems to have stopped the issue and im finally able to have a functional phone but it might have just been due to the fact that i rebooted the phone after applying the supercharger, because it was lagging like crazy before i rebooted.
We'll see soon enough...

I have found that on infinity just having the tw4 apk causes me issues. Not only replacing the launcher with adw ex but I also deleted the touchwiz launcher from /system/app.
Seems odd but I hated the newest infinity until I did that and now its faster and smoother than any other rom I ran yet. Dont know much about the tweak rom but could be worth a shot if it's there.

Another vote for freezing/removing TW4 launcher. My phone has run better since I froze the TW launcher.

Two things: one, putting lots of apps on SD has been known to cause redraws. If you move apps back to the phone, particularly ones that you have home screen shortcuts for, that generally helps a lot. Keep in mind that some apps install to SD by default, and even if you didn't move them there yourself you can move them back.
Second: the "persistent" checkbox doesn't reliably work in Gingerbread due to Android task manager changes. The Charge's unfortunately paltry amount of RAM is the biggest issue and there's not a whole lot you can do about that. You can only try to reduce the number of apps installed that run in the background without reason and force the task manager to start closing stuff. Get an app like Watchdog from the Market, and check to see what's running right after a reboot. You'll probably be surprised at some of the apps that do without any good reason.

[Q] [Question]

What rom do you users think is the best for the Sidekick? I currently am using the ADW Quietly Brilliant one and it restarts a lot on me, but I am having hard time deciding which one to switch to.

This device tends to ***** out regardless of the ROM. Glorious Overdose tends to last the longest... been 3 days since my last re-flash. Glorious rocks launcher pro... not quite ADW but works hehe

iv been running GOV2 since it came out with 0 problems. but if you want a super light ROM GCV2 is also very stable.
BTW this should be in general.

Is your phone OC'ed? I don't know if its a rom thing. But I never get reboots, and I'm on stock ROM. No OC.

No, I don't have my phone OC'ed. If you heavily use you're phone you'd experience random reboots. If you think about it, they're not really random, just overload reboots.... but mostly only on Glorious Overdose. All of revolutions roms overload reboot. His ics rom randomly reboots....

If you haven't already heard about it.. 'SEEDER', new amazing App. Made my phone a good 3x faster. If you are rooted it can be found in the app store. I flashed the .ZIP. You can find it online here. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/01/0...n-nexus-7-and-others-with-seeder-application/
P.S this work with any Android device. Have fun
Yes I know this should be in apps and themes but everyone deserves to see this, especially us Tbolt guys.

This has been proven to be a placebo affect. I have tested it for almost 3 days now and it doesn't really help at all. Also someone mentioned in that forum it doesn't work properly with snapdragon processors because the rndg is different than others. If it does help at all I think it would help more for the lag that comes from not rebooting for a long period of time.

I have been using it with unsense and it hasn't really improved anything. No difference in performance without it either. Like I said it's a placebo caused by the fact that the tweak actually wakes your processor repeatedly which is why your phone seems to react better. You can use it if you like but it is really just a battery drainer. You can get the same performance increase by setting your governor on performance.

I ran it on nu sense and it drained my battery and noticed no improvement in speed. You see an increase because you want to see an increase. Its like throttle body spacers people puts on their cars. Suppose to improve performance and increase fuel mileage. They do no such thing but make a nice paper weight. People who had them swear they could feel an increase. One guy put his truck on a dyno and tested with it on and with it off. His results was with it on he lost a few hp. This is why butt dynos are so inaccurate because we make our selves believe we can see and feel a difference. When in fact there isn't.

I've been using the seeder apk for a few days now and have noticed a decrease in input lag for sure. I also noticed a decrease in battery life when using the phone.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post. It cause a wake lock on the processor making it wake repeatedly which is the likely reason that anyone notices anything. It in no way shape or form affects entropy which was the original intent of the app. Google has also stated that the very issue this is supposed to fix was actually fixed with the release of ICS. Try it on a gb rom and see if it actually works. Also, after you run it for a few days disable it and see if there is a decrease in performance. I've ran it for about three days and there is no difference without it running.

Google devs have stated that there was an issue with entropy in gb roms so there is no doubt that it probably helps it.

I have installed Seeder on my Gingerbread (SkyRaider Zeus) Thunderbolt and 4.2.1 Galaxy Tab 10.1.
In neither case has it improved speed, launching or operations.
I wanted to believe. In my testing, i call it wishful thinking.
