[Q] Rom comparison chart?

Hi,
Is there a ROM comparison chart somewhere for Nexus S?
I'm looking forward to a ROM, which is:
based on 2.3.4.
has a notification power widget.
has 3G SIP calling.
(sort of) stable.
fast.
Some nice to have features:
Lock-screen tweaks.
Battery percentage hack.
Permission management.
Any ideas?
CM7 nightly seemed to be a good choice, but it freezes time to time.

I am using infin1ty. Solid as a rock and fast too.
I think it fulfils your wish list.

Thanks for the tips! I've just flashed the latest infin1ty.
There are some nice touch, like working Video Chat and a nice Battery icon, but two things bug me:
Skype crashes
Seems laggy to me a little, even laggier when CM7 nightly.
I'll keep trying it and we'll see...

I've been running Infin1ty for a few days, upgraded to the new version this morning and really no lag on my end. Hated the battery icon so built a new one in UOT Kitchen and now it's looking good.

i played arround a bit with the cpu settings (No-frills CPU control) and voltage settings (proton) and i got a really smooth fast and stable rom. so just give it a try

I prefer CM7 never had any freezing issues.
I use with ogdobber 2.3.4 kernel

The current CM kang coupled with morfics UV kernel is running so incredibly fast!
Not to mention I haven't experienced ANY stability issue as of yet!

Just give them all a test ride and see which one you like best. I'm on superasop ATM and so far it's been the snappiest rom I've tried. Still not perfect though.
It has everything in your list though.

Use benchmark in the android market.

Just to give this a bump as I'm looking for the same thing as OP but would like to know more about what everyone thinks. I m on cm7.0.3 atm and its really frustrating how it restarts out of the blue or gets into a bootloop. with the features listed by the OP, which rom is the most stable?

Good idea...

SuperAosp has been really, really good to me. I did an original wipe and reinstall a month ago, and it is has been really good and snappy ever since, even through non-wipe upgrades to ROM.

I'm using ZuluZulu rom, fast and stable. Tried lot of cm based roms but this one is almost no random reboot like cm.

NSCollab or ZuluGen are the best!

I've just flashed SuperAosp. First impressions:
Really nice icons and theme.
Nice animations!
Video chat is nice, but it works only one way. I can see both myself and the called party on the phone, but the called party cannot see me on Gmail. Might not be related to the ROM, though.
ROM Manager is crashing. I can live without that app, though.
Very laggy. I expect the operating system to react immediately, but sometimes it lags for 1 sec or more when the system is busy. This is most probably due to I/O scheduling issues.
I'll probably give other ROMs a try as well.

I've tested ZuluZulu: I flashed it, factory reset, set my accounts up, started to restore the Apps with Titanium Backup, and all of a sudden, it rebooted.
My first impression was that it is a pretty responsive ROM, but somehow this reboot did not make me happy.

Well even a stock rom gets a random reboot, just give it time. As long as a rom doesn't random hung or reboot in a call that's a keeper for me. Anyway you have your own idea on what you want in a rom. Hope you find one.

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.

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.

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.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium

Another vote for freezing/removing TW4 launcher. My phone has run better since I froze the TW launcher.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

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.

Is it just me, or...

It seems like every custom ROM (for what I can remember) gets really slow and laggy after using it for an extended amount of time. I've had my captivate for nearly 2 years and have flashed many roms and this phenomenon seems to occur on all of them I have used for more than a month or so.
I reboot my phone at least once a day, and install a minimum amount of apps.
So, is it just me?
Thanks

I flashed many GB roms for long time...without doing clean flash (flashing GB stock)...and my phone started lagging like **** on every GB rom out there....this is I am talking about before ICS came out...
then I completely wiped my phone...as much as it allows...then started again by flashing GB bootloader....super smooth again...
But with ICS i am not seeing that issue yet...

I didn't notice any lag for several weeks or so on ics, but it seems to start lagging eventually. I wonder if it could be that log files start to accumulate over time or something like that and slows down the phone.

possible, but roughly how many user apps do you have/keep?
In some ROMs in the past there have been memory leaks that would cause this behavior. More often it is a poorly written app that is leaking memory but is not getting killed.
So if it's been a fairly consistent issue take a look at your most commonly used apps. If it's been a flat (across multiple ROMs) issue then consider any long standing apps.
If it helps it may even be a Linux kernel issue, cuz on my PC that runs ubuntu I see a memory leak. Tho with what is effectively 6 GB of RAM I don't run into a slow down issue for weeks.
leaked from my ICS- FUSED SGS I897 contaminating you via XDA app.

ics will lag if you are using glitch kernel WITHOUT having the app NStools.
i found this out the hard way. installed NStools (as recomended by glitch page) and my lag went away.
as the day went on, and i used my phone the memory would fill up and not clear as it should, i could even open an app 8 hours after last using the app and it would still be on the same page/info i left it on. the app never gets killed.
sixstringsgs does not agree that NStools affects it in such a way but personal experience says otherwise. i was ready to go back to gingerbread. now i would never consider it.

Yeah I've seen this too. Using ext4 helped some. I did some tweaking on occasion, which would cause me to wipe cache and dalvic. Sometimes that seemed to speed it up.
I am now trying the Simply Stock odexed gb rom version 2.0. It has been amazingly smooth the first few days, I hope it holds up.

You can't use EXT4 on an MTD ROM. They were talking about an ICS ROM, not an ICS themed ROM

Fastest rom? I just want no redraws and lag, always had this problem!

I did the 5 steps to make phone snappier and I noticed that my phone is now faster I used to always gey redraws rather frequently, but I still get redraws, enough to still bother me. Advice on how to be faster? I am on stock FP1 rooted using twl.launcher as my main launcher and would like to keep this setup. I am willing to switch roms or anything, all I want is zero redraws, really hate it

edit the line in the build.prop to lock in the home screen (set it =1).

been there done that...no avail.. thought it was just gingerbread ..then fp1 came i got excited..worked better for a while, then back to the same this..came across that 5 steps, did that, did the build.prop .. still feels laggy sometimes..has gotten better i might add, but enough to make me feel like i should switch phones

Jellybean is the only thing that going to get you to a point where you can reasonably get "no lag." Even the newer dual-core phones on ICS get laggy from time to time, and it's worse on this phone. The best you're going to do on this phone is mitigate it.

right.
but I really do not have an lag or redraw issues. part of the trouble shooting is to reduce the number of apps on your phone and on the screen. I place all of my apps in folders and thus have no redraw issues since. some launchers like GO and HOLO help too.

Ehm...I never get redraws unless I restart the launcher manually. Use V6 Supercharger.

I've never really gotten v6 to work on fp1 but I have no redraws at all but if you have followed my 5 steps you should have no problems. If you use go launcher or holo there is a setting for "keep in memory" that works really well with the build.prop edit

V6 "works" on FP1 in that it applies successfully, but I've never run V6 on this phone that it didn't run like complete crap after a few days. I've played with recent versions of the V6 script and found them to be even worse for me than the older versions. I know kvswim says he has no issues, but it kills my performance worse than anything else I've ever done.

Yeah, it's really odd that it works perfectly fine for some and just makes things worse for others.

I can imagine it being down to the use case. The script changes OOM groupings of apps which causes them to be killed in a different order than default. Regardless of how Zep advertises it, that's probably not a one size fits all proposition. I know I strongly disagree with the logic of some of the ICS regroupings that he seems quite proud of.

[Q] stable ROM with good battery life?

So my wife has an LG G2X on stock android 2.3.4 and she complains that after a while it will move so slowly that it is almost unusable. I have told her to restart the phone whenever that happens and she is having to do that about once a week, but that clears up the problem for a while. Aside from that, everything works as it should. It is using the march 2012 baseband.
Since it is not my phone, I do not know exactly what all she is doing on her phone, but I assume it is mostly facebook, watching videos, texting, and calls. I'm looking for a stable ROM where everything works like stock and has at least the same (if not better) battery life as stock.
And yes, I have searched but a lot of the info seems outdated. I am thinking that I might just run a rooted stock ROM with a custom kernel (leaning towards faux's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720 )... or maybe the stable cm-7.2.0-p999
summary: wife's G2X becomes VERY laggy after ~1 week use, suggest a fix
thanks :good:

Having to restart once a week is not problem, if anything that's a good thing lol. I had to restart my stock unrooted g2x multiple times a week.......if you move to a custom rom your wife will probably have to restart about the same if not more. I'm on cm7 and i restart about once a day just because i like to, not out of necessity. If your wife isn't huge into customization than a stock rooted rom will work just fine. Faux makes a great kernel but it was a little harsher on battery for my liking. I'm running Trinity oc right now and love it. If i were you, i would look at mazouts latest kernel build. He makes AWESOME kernels and ill be moving over to his latest release whenever it comes out tonight or tomorrow.

i had her on a cm7 build with her previous phone (motorola defy) and she seemed to like it OK. didn't customize it too much, just used all the default settings.
after i posted this thread, i actually started to look at, and downloaded mazout's kernel... so now i'm thinking of trying out the 3/1 "nightly" build of cm7 with mazout's 0323 kernel. i can't seem to find a known bugs list for cm7 on this phone. are there any known bugs?
does this build of cm7 have a "restart" option in the power menu? that is one of my pet peeves with the stock ROM. the only way i have found to restart the phone is to "power off" and then "power on". i think she would be more willing to restart the phone if it was an automated restart

Yes there is aa "reboot" option that comes up from holding the power button. Maz's 0323oc kernel is awesome. I wouldn't put the Max over 1015 and keep the minimum at 216. Known bugs.....for me the only bug i had was the phone would heat up pretty bad overnight while charging. It was instantly fixed by going into my development settings under applications and selecting the "keep awake" option while charging.

threw "fast reboot" on there to see how she likes it since it doesn't require root, works more like an app killer, but kills all in one press.
now, would i see any noticeable gains by using a custom kernel (stock voltage, no overclock)?

Yes, not an extreme amount but a definite yes. I know by experience with CM7 that mazout's stock voltage beta kernel was much better than the stock CM7 kernel. Those kernels are only for CM7 though. I do not have any experience with an upgraded kernel on my g2x while it was stock as I flashed CM7 and mazouts kernel right after.

^ those stats are kind of irrelevant considering he's asking for a decent play out on battery while using performance. [All around use.] You just showed us what a phone with no data signals and almost no use other then the odd screen wake [possibly texts/calls] the op explained he needed a ROM that takes minimal battery with most use, and being a girl I would imagine she's using social networking which requires WiFi or 3G/4G Please don't take what I'm saying as offensive, your information is very handy however it steers the op in the wrong direction as I'm sure his wife likes to use her phone as much as possible without being stuck to a charger. My girlfriend is currently using my old g2x and so far we've had the best luck with cm7 stable and the trinity kernel with slight under volt. What I would suggest the op do is maybe take a little research nightly on her battery drain, find out what she's using the most and go from there. Unfortunately because its not HIS phone, he's not going to witness distinction first hand and won't be able come to a easy conclusion, and it doesn't help that the g2x devs are stuck on GB, too many ports to keep interest and the search could take forever.
LETS KEEP PRAYING TMOBILE HASNT FORGOT US!
PS spawne32, when you did have your phone like the picture did that include battery apps or task killers? Or just straight up OS? Whenever I tried the ROM you suggested [it has been a while, maybe since updated.] I get screen wake issues and all kinds of battery drain.

To the op, also recommend to your wife the app called "screen filter" it has an option to lower the key brightness, there are a few of those apps out there but I only remember using that, one of the g2x sad but true battery drainers.

Similar issue - frequent reboots - please suggest ROMs, kernels, other solutions!
I have an LG Optimus G2X (P-999) running the original, unrooted, stock OS (android 2.3.4 "gingerbread", with the "old" bootloader and the baseband from March 2012).
Similar to the OP's wife's phone, mine is running slower and slower, frequently locks up, sometimes so badly that I need to remove the battery to restart it, and sometimes it just restarts itself. I've already tried uninstalling unused apps, clearing caches, moving apps to the SD card, etc. None of that seemed to noticeably help, and lately I need to restart it at least once every 24 hours.
(There are other annoyances too, like the way the GPS hangs and drops, and the battery life isn't great - although the battery may just be too old.)
I'm planning to root it and uninstall the bloatware as a first step, using the instructions I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050534
Then, I'm considering installing a custom ROM and/or kernel. (Most up-to-date list, I believe, is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975934 )
Given the problems I'm having, do you think one or both will help? (If yes, do you have any specific recommendations for a ROM and/or kernel, or tips, or possible pitfalls I should avoid?) Are there other ideas I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
