Does anyone know if CM9 is any more stable than CM10? Going on vacation in a couple weeks and CM10 has far too many 3g issues for me to take it along (i need pandora for the 6 hour drive.) The 3g on CM10 is just totally screwed. I often lose data for hours at a time while my wife's phone (galaxy nexus, also verizon) has full 3g. Phone info claims 1xRTT but i have no data, the bars are white and nothing works.
Cm9 is of course stable than cm10..

If you want something really stable, it's probably better to go with a stock ROM; e.g. Synergy or Beans.
That said, CM9 should be more stable, seeing as how it's a final release and not an alpha/beta like CM10.
I'm just looking for a release with working bluetooth, gps, and data
I'm used to running cutting edge roms (running a cm10 nightly right now), but the data issues with cm10 are very annoying. Was just curious if anyone here was actually running CM9 and could clarify if everything is working as needed.

Cm9 is in final release??!! Is there a build thread somewhere? I've only been reading about cm10 and haven't been able to find much on cm9. If it's stable with no 3g problems like cm10 then I want it

as the title says. i was running CM7 on my DHD and my sensation for the longest time and was anxious for the CM9 release. i tried CM9 for a bit then decided to flash HNS and then Virtuous. my point is, CM9 still has a few bugs and CM10 beta has been released. will CM9 be left since CM10 will now be the focus? i was waiting for a solid CM9 rom to be released but i guess i'll see how the progress of CM10 comes along.

CM10 is still in alpha stages... very little important aspects even work
CM7 and CM9 are based on two completely different Android builds, CM10 based on JB is very similar to CM9 based on ICS
If the developers manage to get a fairly stable build of cm10 they may well move on to cm10 altogether. Does not make sense to develop cm9 anymore. Well unless there is something important in cm9 that cannot be fixed in 10
I thought I read somewhere that CM9 will still be worked on and right now they are looking to release the CM9 RC. CM10 was out quicker because it's base off of CM9 and is not a build from the ground up like it was for CM9. Because of this, they can use most of the build to work on CM10.
Cm9 is on RC2 now so I think cm9 came quicker and its basically fully stable. I use it as a daily

I second that. I stayed away from CM9 on the Sensation for a long time since it was just not quite stable/functional enough for me (stable maybe but some of the key functions weren't stable enough and battery life was killing me for a while).
Anyway, I installed CM9 RC2 late last week; I think the day it came out. Anyway... to the point... CM9 RC2 has been extremely stable for me, battery life has been great (not QUITE as good as some of the Sense-Less ROMs out there like Virtuous or ExtremeSensation but close enough). I much prefer a clean AOSP system anyway so I'm sticking with it.
With CM10 on the way I'm encouraged by the fact that we finally have a stable CM9 for them to build off of. Thanks to the whole crew who has been working on it!

What i dont like about cm9 is the overall volume... its very low compared to sense roms...
Hmm....the volume issue would be something worth investigating.
CM9 took quite a while for ROMs/kangs/unofficial nightlies to start appearing. This was because they needed to rewrite the whole CM source tree (the modifications CM makes to Android) from scratch. Jelly Bean, under the hood, is quite similar to ICS, so it's a lot lot easier to port things from CM9 to CM10. Porting things from CM7 to CM9 was almost, if not impossible.

download Volume+ from the play store, Ive used it for quite a while on lots of roms with no problem
I know that CM9 is officially stable and everyone is playing around with CM10 nightlies. I'd be happy enough to just use a stable CM9 rom, but can't find a non-kexec version.
All the talk here is now about CM10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783262
I'm guessing there wont be an official CM9 since i we probably missed the boat on that one, but is there an unofficial version floating around?
yeah i cant find it either, i dont think its supported by cyanogenmod, at least not yet, theyre focused on cm10. CM10 is definitely a daily driver though, check out out their nightlies theyre pretty stable
You'll probably never find a CM9 port for it when CM10 is developed as far as it is. Its already officially supported by the CM team. It would be a lot of work for a huge step backwards. That's like asking why Windows Vista isn't being ported over when you already have Windows 7.
I assume you're asking because of current issues with CM10? And because of these issues you're thinking that CM9 will do fine for now since its so well developed? Actually, all the same problems (sort of) would exist for CM9 but in a different manner. Hardware compatibility still would have to be smoothed out, drivers, RIL, etc etc. Its not cut and dry.
If that's not why you're wondering, then disregard everything I just said...lol.
that's pretty much what I was thinking. thanks for your replies.

I have been using first Helly bean as my first JB ROM. Though it was claimed that it was fast, I never realized the speed. The UI/bowser/almost every think was lagging. Next I tried CM10 the same story... first it feels fast by as time progress the same lag.
Today I installed LANIGHT. It is really fast.... unbelievably fast. I didn't know android on cappy can be this fast.
What other ROMs do you guys use are equally or better?
I'm giving it a look now.
I use Helly Bean and it is very fast with some slight lag when changing between apps, I imagine due to the apps using resources. App drawer and launcher are smooth.
My only issue is the datadata folder, only 172MB and it fills up right away. Even clearing cache and uninstalling the biggest apps, more stuff just comes in and takes up that free space.
May have to try a non datadata ROM but a user in the Lanight thread said the no datadata ROMs use 430MB partitions but they fill up even faster, so I'm not sure what my best option is for speed.

That was me... :cyclops:
Anyway... I can concur with the speed of this rom (LANight v2). I was a long time TeamNyx ICS RC5 user and I wanted a little change. Debated and decided to try CM10... what a mistake (no offense to anyone... expecially the CM team). I know it is still in development but my experience was not good at all. I spent a whole 3 hours or so trying to figure out a way to make it work but nothing... it was not usable. I blamed the lag on the no datadata that the CM10 uses... so... back to an ICS rom. CM9 which uses datadata was wonderful... and stable... but reading through the LANight threads... I had to try. so with a lot of hesitation, I loaded the no datadata version... and I was so surprised!!! compared to CM10 and other roms with datadata fixes... it was flying!
Until I realized it's limitations that is... Like I said on the other thread, it seems that eventhough you start out with a larger partition, the fact that now everything is stored here (app & data) Vs. just the passing by data on datadata roms, it sort of defeats the purpose of having the larger space.
Anyway, I still am not dissapointed at the rom. I think the dev has done a fantastic job! It's just since not having datadata doesn't offer any greater freedom to load apps on these devices, I think I will keep this for a while and maybe try LANight's datadata rom. Because this one, flies in comparison to CM10... (but I notice some minor lag here and there)... I think if this one is this good, I have hopes that the datadata version would be even smoother...
Please let me know if this assumption is accurate...

The new MonfroAOSP is equally as impressive. I've used both extensively and can vouch for either :thumbup:

Using slimbean and it's much faster than helly
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2
I am using CM10 Nightly. When I first flashed it, it was real laggy. But I just reflashed it, and it works really well. Very fast, and as far as I can tell, its very stable. Maybe try flashing CM10 twice ? That's what worked for me anyway.
Any CM10 based ROM post about 9/13 has become SUPER fast, and just recently this last week all of them started using the LV setup for /data allowing about 3 times as much space for data with no sacrifice in snappiness.
very impressive. IMO the Captivate with these roms runs faster than a stock SGS 2, with touchwiz cluttering crap up.
i am newly using slimbean and like it alot except for a camera issue. (where is it) ucam for now. i tired jellyui miui awhile back but despite the beautiful black sexiness it was laggy for me. I am curious why there is so many different experiences with similar setups around here. same fone same rom different battery life... etc etc...

Exactly my thoughts. Helly lagged on my cappy but Slimbean really is impressive.
LLanight v6.5 DD
Im in the edge of switching from CM9 to some JB Rom, But Im still a bit insecure about it, cause I like stable versions, This phone is the only one I have, and I don't like to be dealing with bugs and major issues, So Can anyone really using this phone with Helly Bean or Slimbean, tell me how stable is? BTW This Roms are official stable versions? or they are still at testing level?
Slim bean . Awesome ROM and so far quite stable. No guarantee tho.

I haven't tried the recent helly's but i can confirm slim bean and lanight are both super snappy. Lanight has less features and just like every other ROM I've flashed since 2010 is buggy but has workarounds.
Use AceofSpades90's X-bean port in my opinion its better than his LANight Rom. Now im just waiting for v2 to come out Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863927

Thanks for the suggestion, and yeah, I've been reading a lot of good things about that ROM, of course some people with issues too... I'm not that expert about flashing roms yet, but I suppose while I keep my nandroid backups I can go back if I screw something up, thanks to Odin too...
I can't post in SlimBean Post because of my few posts (Just entering to this new world of Captivate and Flashing), and I read something about the need to flash a Modem for SlimBean, or that, SlimBean takes the modem of the current rom you are using, and since I'm using CM9, Will I need to flash a modem or SlimBean should automatically use the one I have now? I don't even know what modem I'm using :S
I hope not to bother you guys, and Thanks in advance!
Helly Bean has been a real trooper for me. I've updated it to nearly every version that has come out.

Meh, just download the ROM from the thread, follow the instructions. Modems can be downloaded herehttp://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html. Just flash the modem after you flash the ROM of your choice. Let the ROM load and then in recovery, flash modem like you would a ROM or a kernel. Profit from jb goodness.

Slim bean spontaneously reboots into recovery
Hi, I wish I could ask about this in the developer's thread, but I have no rights there. So, maybe some can shed some light: I installed Slim Bean 2.6 a few days ago, doing Heimdall to stock and using CM10 as a stopgap rom to get bootloaders. Everything installed fine and works great except one thing: the phone spontaneously reboots into recovery. Sometimes once a day, sometimes twice an hour. It is a problem because one in recovery it just sits there, eats battery and waits for me, so if the phone is in the pocket, I am missing calls, emails and etc. Any suggestions where I could dig a bit to find the cause?
Just an observation. . . The CM 7 Nightlies been have rolling out regularly. For me, these have been smooth and stable. I keep going back to this Ginger based Rom. The new update for ADW launcher shows a lot of promise as well. I really appreciate the efforts on ICS and Jellybean. For some reason the phone reception drops in and out (we live in a weak signal area) with ICS more than CM, and while Jellybean is smooth, it is slow for graphic intensive games. I keep going back to CM. . .light and reliable.
Gingerbread was the last official release for ace devices. Because of this, anything after will never be as complete. I know cyanogen is going to support cm10 for desire/inspire but it may never be as solid as cm7.

I have tried some CM 10 mods and they are smooth (Jellybean source, right?). I don't do games much, but once in a while. . . the JB based roms seem to be laggy in the game dept.
I wonder how the CM 9 ROMS might progress, there seems to be more potential for the ACE devices in that direction. I really like Exist's work. Though due to my weak reception area, the ICS roms doesn't hold on to a signal as well. . . whereas the Ginger based roms do better in that area. I don't know why, and I'm too lazy to experiment with radios every time I flash. So CM 7.2 will be the workhorse for the time being.
Hi, I was wondering what in your opinion is the most stable JB rom? My parents and I all have a Skyrcocket, and they have been on CM9 for a while now. They don't know much about how to use their phones, so that is why I got them a stable version of CM9 last summer, while I have been on JB since it came out.
I have tried a wide variety of JB roms, but I know how to use them all well and what to do in case of most issues, even minor ones such as having no connectivity on reboot. My parents however get really confused when stuff like this happens, and don't even think to reboot, even though I have told them about how to fix it numerous times. On the CM9 they have, stuff like this never happens and it all is pretty stable.
However, my mom recently started having random problems on CM9, so i upgraded her to the latest stable CM10 and installed gapps, UCLK4 radio, which works the best for me, and lightning zap kernel. Now she is having weird problems like her camera not working due to the error 'no external storage present,' which i have encountered on another jb rom before, and reflashed a different one to fix it. i just tried slim bean 3.1 for a while to test for her, and i get weird stuff like the no connectivity on boot issue i mentioned before, which can be fixed with a reboot, but is too big of a problem for my parents to handle. i also tried cm9 the latest nightly just yesterday, and am experiencing some weird minor issues as well.
i even thought about going back to ics, although she would prefer to upgrade if possible. and i thought about flashing the latest att jb leak, but i figured that would most likely have even more issues, haha.
so does anyone think there is a jb rom out now that is as stable as cm9 ics was? thanks!
Just put them back to stock. You're nuts putting a custom rom on someone's phone who isn't into the issues they have. They all have something that doesn't work as you'd expect.

I think you have to read through the threads and see which one(s) fit your needs best, then try those ROMs for yourself instead of starting a best thread.

I'm with you, i like official roms, I personally like HTC phones before using my skyrocket (ROMS work great on HTC and stock ROMS are also great), the official ICS on skyrocket sucks big time (to laggy), but I still like it better than custom.

Install official ICS to them, no more problems, but on the downside, a lot of lag will be present!!!
From the moderator
DO your research on this as it really is a personal decision. As stated by others all roms have something that is buggy. My personal take if they are not into customizing but want good battery life, and the basics to work well and do not need a bunch of bells and whistles you might try AOKP roms as they work well and are easy to configure for a novice.
That said, there are way to many "Best rom" threads..... So
