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.

So i noticed that Tbolt is getting the CM9 support. Any devs out there plan to make a CM9/AOSP or anything else build? Id love to know! Im excited for Liquid SMooth ICS rom.
Where did you read that at? Link?

it was confirmed in this Q & A session with Cyanogenmod 4th questoin down. Info originally provided by http://forums.androidcentral.com/th...6-cm9-will-coming-officially-thunderbolt.html
Well I'll believe it when I see it I haven't seen anything else from CM showing support for Mecha at all there isn't even a forum for it. So far none of the developers aren't going to make a new RIL so until there is a leak or an update we won't see fully working ICS in any fashion. TwistedUmbrella and ProTekk have both made great progress in getting things work but RIL won't work until HTC releases the goods. So who knows maybe once that happens CM9 will get official and release a nightly and make a forum idk.
Workshed has been the CM guru since I've had a smartphone. When the ril is cracked or leaked for ics I'd expect an unofficial cm or official

Well Twisted Playground uses parts from CM9 I think. To be honest I could careless about CM9 between AOKP and Twisted Playground we got the goods.

+1 Twisted has an awesome base for his ROM, and I personally appreciate him waiting for an official ril. I personally want a working stable ics ROM, not another unofficial cm with half assed data that gets no updates like 99% of thunderbolt ROMs.

There was not a forum for a lot of phones they had committed to yet (like the Galaxy Nexus) last time I looked.
I would not take that as a negative sign. A forum will come when the kernel comes I am sure.
the Galaxy Nexus has a forum. But yeah idk ever since the whole CM7 thing I kinda gave up on CM.
Well, either way you look at it Cyanogenmod is such a unique ROM, made such a huge splash that parts of it were implemented in vanilla AOSP in 4.0 by Google. That's huge. And I can't say I know of any other ROM that's done something like that. So having official CM9 support is a massive plus, and I know exactly which ROM I'll be running when it happens
You guys really need to go to Rootzwiki. The development for the TB is happening there, there's already a CM9 port and two AOSP 4.0.4 ports with all but the RIL working.
All those are posted here except liquid ICS I think. But the only one that has actually been updated and released for quite a while is Twisted Playground and that is here and on Rootzwiki. I would say currently Twisted Playground has the most working. Once RIL is released in one form or another ProTekk will update AOKP idk if Liquid will update his or not from what I could see it didn't really differ a whole lot from AOKP. So we just have to wait once there is a working RIL we'll get more updated working roms.
Tbolt channel of Rootwiki and Androidcentral do seem to be a bit more populated then xda. Either way, dont care where it happens, il be checking all 3 as much as posible for CM9 and / or ICS ROMS
Rootzwiki is better for somethings but lately Twisted Playgrounds thread on XDA has been better.
Yeah I bounce back and forth between the two.
I don't know what it is, but I feel like XDA is my home and always will be.... I miss when it was THE centralized location for Android development
Can someone point me towards the best CM7 rom there is? I know they aren't really developed anymore, but I think they work best. I'm currently using SuperSensation, which seems to have a battery issue. (as far as I can tell) I tried downloading the original CM7 rom, but it doesn't seem to be up anywhere anymore!
So what would be the most recommended CM7 rom? Let me know, thanks.
This is probably the best of the bunch as far as I'm concerned:
HyperSensation:

You will not find many CM7 builds, because Sensation was not an officialy supported CyanogenMod Device at the time.
I believe only Alpha builds were released, due to CM9 approaching.
Cheers.
Well thanks, do you suppose it'd work better than the ROM I am using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265946
I know that it is only alpha, but it is A LOT more stable than the CM9 Nightlies out there. The audio routing going on with ALL of the roms for CM9 is just where I draw the line.
I've been using CM7 and I love it. Never found an issue.
I'll download this rom and check it out for the sake of curiosity.
Sensation CM7 SelfKang Alphafied Number 10 (11/1) - 2.3.7
You can try this one. Used it before I went to CM9.

Audio routing has been fixed on the latest Open Sensation
If you're only looking for the CM experience but don't mind the HTC base being used for that but only stripped to achieve that, you can also try HyperNonSense. It doesn't have driver issues as the base is HTC's. I do have to say I haven't use CM in a while so it might be all bugs are eliminated with respect to WiFi, tethering and bluetooth eg.
GPU
Does anyone know why the GPU performance
is considerably worse on gingerbread ROMs
compared to ICS?
Could be because of the drivers, the 213 and 218 difference, see this thread for more information on the drivers. In short, 218 seems to be a lot faster than 213. There were some issues related to the drivers however, eg. Skype and Istagram were troubling. Not sure on the current status on that though.
So do the drivers work with gingerbread too?
Does that have any impact on the devs working on CM10 for our device? Or is that just cool, some other devices have stable CM10.
Seriously?(sarcasm)
Different devices have different source code which wouldn't really help our devs get a stable build if CM10. Right now our device doesn't have stability for jb, but I would expect it in the future. If we are to get a really good stable job ROM, we need our source code to be released.
If I helped you, push the thanks button for goodness sakes!
I've got ZERO expectations on us getting a fully working CM10 or later variant for our phone. I've resigned myself to the fact that CM7.2 is about as good as my phone is ever going to get.
I think we eventually will get it but at this point I don't expect anything.
Hopefully Tonyp will port the Stock ICS ROM from the O2x and Arcee will finally give us CM10. Rumor has it he is just trying to make it stable before bringing it here, but for all we know he's probably having trouble porting it over.
Anyone know how much smoother and faster CM10 is with the actual HW accelerations? I'm on the Paranoid Jellybean Hackfest and I honestly don't see much difference in fluidity than on my Galaxy S Blaze Running a full functioning CM10. We only have a few bugs, and not even the worst ones like random reboots or audio noise which some are experiencing with a full ROM.

Pretty much what he said. Or we'll get it mid next year. I'm done expecting that we'll get it. This phone is still awesome with cm7, and I'll probably have moved on to a different device anyway next year ;p.
I've been wanting to give an aosp based Rom a try onthis phone. My main concern is stability and battery life. I know battery life is more of a kernel issue so I will address that later on. I've noticed some roms in original developement don't even specify which android version there based on, but which is currently most stable and 4.2? I need lte calls/sms/mms and camera to be working.
I'm basically looking for what has the LEAST issues. Has any developers gotten past the screen tearing yet?
And I know there are probably 100 of these threads, but none are current
the official cm10.1 by h8rift will usually be the most stable, as a lot of the other ones are based on that (i think). you should basically look for the most recently updated one. that'll have the newest features and latest bugfixes.
you can't go wrong with a bpear ROM, that guy is awesome and has released some of my favorite ROMs for this phone. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212825
he always updates them quickly and squashes all major bugs. that one is new so it may have some bugs, but i'm sure they won't be there for long. then once he fixes them, you won't have to delete everything and clean wipe and all that, you'll just have to flash over it with the new one.
bugs vary from phone to phone, so the only real way to figure out what you like is to flash them and check
they are all pretty stable other then known issues. screen tearing is a general issue with 4.2.x roms that use cm10.1 as a base. i would say try liquidsmooth, aokp, or carbon bpear96 aosp build.
Running liquidsmooth Stable and its great. Using it as a daily driver.

Running official 10.1 nightly with vz oc linaro kernel and disable HW overlays on I get ZERO tearing. I put it at standard clock speeds to and its great and very stable. Only time it freezes is every once in a great while after a phone call. Other than that I'm extremely happy.

I'm running the Bpear CarbonRom 1.6 source build, underclocked to 1134mhz and still running smooth and stable.

my personal experience
the most stable tend to be the ones that are more popular/bigger like CM 10.1, AOKP, etc.. at least in my experience. Though I personally love jellybam. I highly recommend it especially if you're a person who loves great audio. Though the only kernel that would work it is Rohan's beta as far as I know
There is no "most stable" ROM. Everyone uses their phone differently, and your mileage can and will vary. Same thing with battery life (and probably has as much, if not more to do with other factors, such as your geographic location and radio).
Its easy to look through the ROM threads to see what specific issues people have, known bugs, etc. Aside from that, just pick some that look like they fill your needs/preferences and try them out.
Since every device handles software a little differently, you need to try it out for yourself and see if you like it. Thats the beauty of XDA, you get to try it out yourself and see if YOU like it.
So since everyone has different options, Im going to close this before it becomes a BEST ROM THREAD... and we dont allow those.

As I understand it there is a difference as in jb 4.1 to 4.2 with 4.2 to 4.3 but seems like so many prob with 4.3. 4.2 I assume is more stable. Some nihmlt kernel work.for 4.3 some don't for 4.2 but what do we want. Don't we want a full featured Aries. Won't Aries cm9 whenever pub released be the same as jb orig plus, without GPS? Seems like GPS.Will.never work.unless there are a few specific ppl assigned that really take it head on to figure something out. So why not.make what would prob be the best version cm for this device.Aries.cm7 and make GPS work Aries if possible. Its the most common sense option. No doubt even herring is great basically same as kj6 but better... but with Mtd and it being Aries with GPS and everything else it would have vest shot for full support.since based on the most inhaled.Kernel of anyone has an idea of.which stage cm7 Aries.Kernel.would be.mod from an existing Aries kernel.or would need rebuild or.not. what I'm asking is. What is the best full featured Aries Rom.we can do. If answer is jb I'll a crept that but not for anything besides jb. Anyone feel what I'm sayin
If you want to pay some people to work on this fulltime, then you can 'assign' them tasks. Otherwise, be happy that our devs who have mostly moved away from using this phone are still giving you updates. In any capacity.
I disagree with OP. just use a BT GPS with CM 10.2. Costs 34$ @ aliexpress incl. delivery. Everything works otherwise.
