2 Years after woot, ROM Poll - G Tablet General

Almost 2 years since the gtablet showed up on Woot, and got a lot of us here.
Would be interesting to see the ROM distribution today.
Last year's thread is at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563255
A few more questions with my answers
Name of ROM you are using: TNTLite 4.4
Other tablets you bought for yourself and others: Nook simple touch (for outdoors) , Lenovo Ideatab a2109 (cheap 10" Tegra 3)
Most used app (choose one if you have many): Feedly
Battery life: Seems to have gone down some, but still usable. Charge every other day.
--

Name of ROM you are using: Brilliant Corners
Other tablets you bought for yourself and others: None
Most used app (choose one if you have many): Slingbox Mobile
Battery life: Gtab sits a lot. I have to look for it most of the time. Battery life is good still.

I have been using CM 7.2.0 for 9 months. Not the fastest, but everything works well, very stable.
No other tab
Dolphin browser
Excellent battery life

ROM: 10.1 CM7 JB
No other tabs
Kindle app
9hr battery life

SmOoTher_BeAn_4.1.2 4dA Winz!
Fast, stable, works great with the dock and Bluetooth controllers.
Front facing camera doesn't work, but I don't Skype so no big loss. I'm currently using my Gtab as a media center/ retro gaming rig. As much as I once loved it, it just got too heavy with prolonged use when reading or surfing the net.
I almost miss Flash, but I can live without it all things considered. Went to a smaller 4.0.4 tablet for net and use as an E-reader for books and comics. Can't blame the rom on the lack of flash, its 4.1.2.

ROM: Team DRH ICS Beta 1.2 (solid as the day is long).
Battery has good life.
Most used app: Netflix
My kids use the tablet now as a movie/game platform.
I bought mine at Tiger Direct before the Woot sale.

Original Wooter here. Smoother bean ROM. It runs much better than Viewsonic's last stock ROM.
Use Gmail app the most with stock browser.
FWIW, I did not repartition my tablet with NVflash. The ROM runs fine on the standard partition if you don't
overload it. My Tablet is one of the unlucky ones that goes into an APX loop every time it gets NVflashed.
Battery life is fine for me.

ROM: TeamDRH JB Alpha 5.3
Galaxy Note II LTE - kind of a tablet
Alarm Clock & XBMC Remote
Always plugged in, never on battery

Rom: TeamDRH ICS Beta
Other Tablets: None
Most Used App: Variety. It replaced my Franklin Planner at work through a combination of TouchDown (exchange client), Color Note (note taking),
Battery Life: I use it for a good portion of every day, and I don't need to charge it until late at night. It's about the same as it was when I bought it.

Rom: VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition 7.1.0
Other tablets: Google Nexus 7 first edition
Most used app: Facebook, Youtube
Battery life: charge every other day

ROM: Smoother Bean version 1.5.2 and PacMan 4.2.2 (I always run different ROMs on each Gtab, just in case of failure, however I'm a great and loyal fan of Nobe1976's consistently rock steady ROMs)
Others: have 2 Gtabs, no other tablets
Most used: VLC
Battery: 8hr battery life - very little degradation

ROM: Bounce between Beasty and PACman
Others: Note II (sort of), Nexus 7, Kids both have iPads (grandpa bought them)
Most used: Netflix with HDMI out of dock
Battery: 8hr battery life
Use: don't use it very much anymore, will wind up on Swappa soon probably.
Purchased from Tiger Direct when they first popped up.

Just in case you are still curious...
Name of ROM you are using: CyanogenMod 7.2
Other tablets you bought for yourself and others: Toshiba Excite AT305. Never more. Won't get a tablet you can't root.
Most used app (choose one if you have many): I'm not using the tablet so frequently yet. The gTablet was actually bought for my mom. Not exactly sure how she is using it, but I would guess once I set up dock with HDMI, XBMC will be the most frequently used app. In the meantime, I would say her currently most used app is stock browser which can still stream video from some websites like Rachel Maddow, NBC Nightly News, etc.
Battery life: Most of the time, tablets are plugged in dock, so can't comment on battery life.

Changing my answer from froyo to jelly bean.....its still going strong!
the harmony 4.1 has really breathed new life into the tablet. It's good as new!

I run Vegan-TAB.......
It's great, but I don't know what it's based on? Froyo maybe??
Other tablets you bought for yourself and others: Another G-tab
Most used app (choose one if you have many): browser
Battery life: don't really know - seems very good though

JB
Dirty Bean 10.1 - great job by Team DRH. Shame they have given up but wish them luck

Hanging in there - Great Hardware, painfully bad software

The most amazing thing about the Samsung i510 is that even with the Rezound, Bionic, Nexus, and Razr out or on the horizon it’s hardware is still pretty damn good. Dollar for dollar, it is arguably the best screen out there and the CPU is quite adequate. The RAM is a little low, but again it’s adequate. I even really like the physical buttons and the Battery is ample (from a physical perspective).
The software! It’s all the software. I don’t think I will get a Nexus when it first comes out because I’m sure 15 days after I have a Nexus in hand Samsung will finally deliver 2.3.6 OTA with source. There’s no reason that this phone can’t become a great performer, sip slowly at battery all day long, and get CM9 in 2012 - but the patience VZW and Samsung asks of us is excruciating!
I agree I usually trade phones as soon as possible and my wife said no or what are you going to get next. I said actually Im happy with this phone atleast for awhile. Not like I was before and trading or buying as soon as I can. In between now and next year I see a possible dramatic advance at even what is coming out this year.
I totally agree. But I am not looking to upgrade to GB. It sucked on my D2 and I will not download it on the Charge. I just keep upgrading the Modem software on the Charge. That makes a big difference for me with each new software update.

GB is better than Froyo in every way on this phone. I had constant lockups and random reboots under Froyo, but everything is smooth as silk under GB. You can't compare two completely different pieces of hardware and two different software builds to each other in terms of performance. I tried at one point to go back to EE4 and I was back EP1 within two days, because by that point, EE4 was just painful to use.
Currently on EP1W and I think its great. I find that EP4P radios to seriously rock. I will upgrade to EP4P base soon depending on when we get the OTA update.
My phone is super-stable overclocked to 1.252 GHz. Seldom radio issues, good voice quality. I freeze all kinds of stuff with Titanium Backup. I generally have no issue with RAM, but don't play games... All my apps (150 user installed apps) are stored on internal memory for speed. I may upgrade the rather slow class 2 micro-SD card to a class 10 card though.
If you take some care of your setup, you will be rewarded with a great phone.
Current Setup:
Humble 4.22 EP1W
Imoseyon Kernel 3.1
Modem: EP4P
V6 Supercharger
3G Turbocharger
I/O Scheduler Changer (running noop)
Tegrak Overclock
Changed Vocoder to EVRC-B
Voodoo Control Plus
Voodoo Screen Tuner
Oh, by the way, am I the only one not not highly stoked about the Galaxy Nexus? My primary complaints are no Wolfson DAC, pentile display, curved glass, and no micro-SD slot. Also, it has the same GPU as the Charge, albeit clocked higher. I personally will wait for the Galaxy S 3 for HD SAMOLED+, but who knows what the audio hub will be (hoping its the Wolfson.)
I used to think gb sucked after loading the earlier builds. Really buggy and laggy.
So I stuck with ee4 for the longest time.
After trying out the latest ep4 build, I completely changed my mind. Superior to froyo in every way.

I was right there where you're at...then I went from stock to Humble 5.0...phone is now pretty frickin nice in my opinion
Latest GB release is smooth
I agree with all the posters here. I finally flashed 2.3.6 and what a difference it made. Lag is non-existent for me, battery life is much better, data drops have practically disappeared and phone is snappy. GPS still is slow and not very accurate. Download GPS Fix from the market and run it before you use GPS....problem mostly solved.
Overall, made this phone run the way it should have from day 1.
Those of you waiting for the release, don't. Follow the instructions and flash the new release. It is very easy and you will be glad you did !

Humble 4.22 and 5.0 are both based on GB. You can't tell me you don't experience the buzzing noise issue, can you? THAT to me is a show stopper. I don't care how fast the datarate is but this phone still needs to make calls reliably.
Tried every GB leak variants out there and none of them has that issue solved.
Have gone back to debloated EE4 with Imoseyon's latest kernel and the latest EP4P modem installed. Been very happy with it; man, it's fast, no lag, super stable, no issue with swypes 3.0's cursor jumping around like crazy when you're posting your post on forums (surely you all have gone nuts over that problem).

I can tell you that. I don't have that issue. I'm on the phone between 30 minutes and 2 hours a day. I've heard it exactly once, ever.

I am not on Humble, but I'm running a coredroid themed version of the 2.3.6 TBH leak with imoseyon 4.0 so it's basically the same thing as Humble.
To be totally fair, I do mostly texting & don't make a ton of phone calls but I have never once had a problem on a call. I talked to my boss yesterday for 45 minutes on a call & it worked just fine.
On the occasional calls I do get or make, this phone (for me anyway) is loud & clear & much better then any previous phone I have owned (& I have had a TON of phones)

Tons of posters on this forums have the same issue.
But I hope you're right. And I intend to prove your theory, hopefully soon. As soon as the GB OTA is out, I'll be demanding a replacement if the problem persists. With a Nexus perhaps, if I'm lucky.

Mind if I steal your build? I wanna try this out. How are you OC'ing the kernel? Just with Tegrak?
The noise just started happening on my wifes phone and she is bugging me about it.I dont really have the problem so was thinking of just re flashing radio files and see what happens.

I think I have to agree on all counts. I was super excited about the Galaxy Nexus coming to VZ & had a standing order in with our VZ corporate rep telling her I will buy it as soon as you can get me one.
I am having serious second thoughts however. I am so incredibly happy with my latest Charge setup (2.3.6 TBH leak W/imoseyon 4.0, LPP Plus, Fuju tweaks, camera button mod, coredroid theme etc.etc.etc.) that I am beginning to realize that with the Galaxy other than the dual processor it would actually be a downgrade for me in a number of ways.

Search for the best battery saving OS

Hi ,
currently I'm running CodenameAndroid 3.3.0 on my Nexus S and everything runs smooth and works perfectly well for me, no doubts. But somehow I constantly get the feeling that the newer our operating system gets our batteries drain faster. Either this or my battery just gets old. However I'm searching for a Rom that has battery saving in main purpose. I dont care about playing games, the operating system or showing off how great my phone is. For this I have my Tablet The best solution for me would be a rom which is very low in batterydrain but as smooth as jellybean (maybe just port the transitions over). I know it might be hard to find something like this but is there any rom which matches my perception? Also a nice look would be cool, too ^^
I'm waiting for your responses!
I think you're looking for SlimBean. I'm on CNA too, the batter life is pretty bad
I tried SlimBean because I used SlimICS before but I miss too many features to change it back. Isn't there something else? Or which OS has the best batterylife in general?
i think gingerbread still has the best battery life.
androxide got me over 4hrs of screen time and a days usage with matrix
the new miui jb is also almost the same
IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.
Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.
Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.
I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S4G using tapatalk2
There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.
Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.
And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.
Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.
MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%
EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.

This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.
Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.
Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the OnePlus 2, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the OnePlus 2 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
well made phone, doesn't feel flimsy. SD810 doesn't seem to have the heat issues, screen could be a little better outside, battery life is great, the notification slider on the side is brilliant idea. Oxygen OS by itself sucks but with Xposed and several modules made the phone tons better.
Nice nice phone. I don't regret it!
Battery
Battery standby is extreme long. Tested it: in 12hours lost 3%. (Wi-Fi and Mobile Network was permamently active in my test)
But the active display standby is ~~~ lame.
Its got bit warm than my one+1 but it's ok.
Chasis/Design
The Chasis of phone is real AlMg. You can brake someones nose with that (not tested! )
It feels good in my hands, a bit heavier than one+1
Buyed with Kevlar StyleSwap Cover. Too bad, it's not fitting perfectly but it sit.
Sound
Speakers are louder than my laptop speakers. Clear Sound, no scratches heared.
Speed test and stability
Fast app start, smooth scrolling, switches fast between the apps.
Antutu Benchmark test:
Test run fine with over 55fps average.
With fully installed apps, games, tools etc..
Benchmark result: >58000
Camera/Video
Photo quality is very good. Takes pictures faster as one+1 and in good quality. nothing to say negative about it.
Videos are in good quality too. You can take slow-motion videos too (720p with 120fps)
SD Card
It's a bit faster as in one+1!
~3451MB (28183 files) Recovery backup done in 74 sec.
64MB/s Read/Write speed.
For a phone with 64GB internal memory it's enough speed.
Well. That's all importand tests i have done. If i have missed something, write it down here. i try to answer.
EDIT:
Very easy to unlock bootloader. Same way as in one+1.
Done it in under 5 minutes
On my old phone it was a real ass-disaster... (Xperia S) Never ever again
There are minor software glitches. But I expect everything to be fine in coming months. More than decent performance
love...mostly
i like the oneplus 2 overall, but not yet real excited about oxygen and updates only about once a month since purchase.
the type c connector seems to be usb type 2. OP apparently neglected to make accessory cables (power & otg) for the type c connection on 1+2, except power cable that comes w/phone. this, as of dec., 2015.
For otg: apparently you must go backwards to their usb type 2 otg (made for 1+1) and use their adapter from micro usb to type c connector.
tried a 3rd party otg type c that is usb 3.1: incompatable. perhaps update will fix this (i hope, since i
want to be able to use a flash drive w/phone since it has no micro sd slot). snc
I can try many roms

Awesome phone
overall. i m very dissapointed with this phone. Beautiful hardware with strong internals, the oos just make this phone extremely slow
Really love the phone since i installed CM 13
That runs really smooth and fast + great batterylife
I don't know if my OPT is defective, the speaker volume is very low. youtube videos or music is "ok" but especially ringtones are very low, I can't hear them outside of my house. At work in my pants it's impossible to hear and feel the phone because the vibration isn't strong enough. If Frenk_Ryder writes that the speaker is louder then the notebook speakers it's hard to believe for me. really?
and the battery life is horrible on my device. plugged it off the charger on 6 am and have only 20 percent on 12 pm with 2 - 3 hours SOT. I'm using the unofficial mahdi builds of cm13. the performance is good but Android System seems to be a battery hogger. I don't know why or what's the problem.
oxygen OS lacks much features of Cyanogen OS or Cyanogenmod and is "not complete at all", and Android System always is on top of the battery stats list. what is the issue for that? I mean Oxygen OS 2.2.0, older versions may be better in terms of battery life?
I hope anyone can help me with my device. thx
Was contemplating going with the Galaxy S6, but the Notification Slider was a real deal-maker for me (especially being loyal to the Galaxy lineup since S1).
Now owning the 1+2, I noticed I can not discreetly silent my phone in my pocket without taking it out and drawing attention in a meeting).
Have any of you found the Notification Slider to be a lot more useful than you originally thought it to be?

When does the issue appear about the volume speaker ?
For the battery life, try another rom ( CM13, Skydragon, H2O, .. )

tried almost all the roms, some have something or the other missing, others have serious battery drain some have wifi issues, others camera is bull****. I miss my z2 so much and i will sell my op2 and get a nexus 7 or whatever its called, when its released
awesome, just needs a bit of software polish...
Near flawless
I have had many phones, mostly Samsungs and LGs. Let me tell you this Oneplus 2 is the perfect phone. WIth the latest OOS 3.0.1 MM, Xposed with Gravitybox, and nova launcher on top, it's a brilliant setup. This thing gets higher scores than the Nexus 6p on every benchmark i've tested, I can game for at least 33 minutes straight of Nova3 (that's the longest straight time I've played any game so far) and no overheating and NO lagging or slowdowns. I don't understand the controversy over overheating and throttling, perhaps the latest models being manufactured are the best models. Overall, I love this phone, also, battery life is incredibly for me. I go two days without one charge and that's using texting about 500 sms a day and web browsing, light youtube, and light music, ON wifi. I've never had a phone quite like it, and for 350 bucks! Awesome.:good::good::good:
Coming from a clapped out Nexus 4, I wanted to really like my One Plus 2 (Oxygen OS 2.2.1) but it was hard; a perfectly adequate phone, but not overwhelming.
The Marshmallow upgrade to Oxygen 3.0.2 has made it the phone it should always have been. It's faster, the fingerprint unlock is better and instantaneous (and no need to wake the device first), the occasional stutters have stopped, the battery lasts longer on standby.
The two standout features for me, however, are not software. Firstly, the alert slider is brilliant. Secondly, there are plenty of cheap Dual SIM phones but few decent ones (in the UK at least).
I only got access to the true potential of the sd810 after switching to a custom rom & kernel
Its Great phone overall.
I guess the sales could be much larger quantities if there were not invites.

I have developed a great degree of love for this phone, especially since it got a wealth of custom ROMs. It performs well, the battery life is excellent, it doesn't prevent me from installing custom ROMs or rooting, and all-in-all I love it. It handles everything I throw at it like a champ, and doesn't complain, and all for less than $300
its a good phone, but i had few hard times because of lack software updates from manufacturer (no android 7.0, no android 7.1, nothing) like on every other non-google phone, but thats life i finally fixed all major issues and it simply works, so i like it again

MM 6.0 on K1: is it worth it??

Rooted or not, does it worth it?? I searched a lot the forums and ive seen a lot of posts underestimate the MM, for being unstable or not compatable with a lot of apps(e.g. recovery,ds4 controllers etc).
For me that i want mostly emulation,gaming,multirom and stuff like that should i stay in stock(rooted) 5.1.1?
Also an extra question: nvidia excusive games can be played without the official nvidia controller?can i use ds4?
Thanks in advance everyone!! This tablet rocks!!
ok i will ask it more simply.. is there a reason NOT to update k1 to 6.0??
Also does multirom work with MM??
If you end up having the battery drain issue
, like myself, its better not to upgrade

I got my K1 last week and immediately updated to marshmallow and it ran ok. I can't say anything about the battery life pre and post ipdate buy I will day that the battery doesn't last as long add I thought it would.
As for your question about controller compatibility: You can use third party controllers with Shield exclusive games. I've tested this myself with my Moga and Half-Life 2

i think i will stay to 5.1.1 for now. im getting the beauty tomorrow!!!
about the controllers: do you change the inputs in game in general??
Just got my shield K1 this morning, updated to 6.0 straight away, if you're used to marshmallow u cant go back, also battery life with doze should be better than LP, as a side not flashed TWRP experimental, made a Stock Backup to Micro SD, flash root installed layers and xposed it all works flawlessly just like my nexus 7 2013 =)
Doze won't help with battery life while using the device.
@x-nivek: I didn't have to do anything beyond pairing the controller to the device for Half-Life 2 to recognize it.

Nothing short of a bigger battery will help with battery life while using the device. But standby time will be quite a bit better.
I upgraded mine straight away and everything's working fine .
Not noticed it having bad battery drain
There is an intermittent battery drain issue on Marshmallow for some users as reported in the Geforce forums. If you notice your battery draining very quickly you can determine if you have the issue by looking at your battery usage. If you see a program called "Miscellaneous" draining most of your battery then you have this problem. You can further verify by using CPU-Z and checking to see if your cores are showing 100% utilization even when the system is idling. There appears to be an issue with the log daemon in 6.0. Nvidia claims to be working on releasing a 6.0.1 ROM that fixes the issue.
I personally haven't had any issues with the battery on 5.1.1 on my LTE version. I think Marshmallow is more suited for smartphones since we're using it more often, when it comes to doze. I don't know many people who've actually used Now on Tap including myself on the Nexus 5. I think the biggest feature is the integrated storage. Other than that..meh..
I use cooltool to see what processes are using the most cpu in realtime as an overlay on my statusbar. Helps to know what's really stressing your cpu when using it.
completely no worth, support sdcard 128gb like internal now I can install many apps and put in a lot movies
battery issue come for weeks but if you let it on heavy duty and let juice run out. leave it full charge over night then battery will be better.

Or you can just go to app optimization and change chrome to "let nvidia optimize" and then coldboot linux

Hi, I'm looking at the H1 to do me for 6 months when I'll pick up the Nexus 6P successor, how did you find it? I've read a few reviews online but not much information about prolonged use. I'm coming from a galaxy note 4 (now broken) and have never owned a mid range smartphone so I'm unsure what to expect. does it run smoothly with a few apps open? app switching? multiple chrome tabs open? a few games here and there (not the most demanding of games though).
thanks
First, you have to remember that Cubot H1 has a MTK quad-core processor clocked 1 MHz. I think it's not the same league as processors in SG Note4 or Nexus 6P . Secondly, I can't live without root access. I use Greenify application, which makes RAM usage between 500MB - 1GB . I have installed 3 games : Angry Birds - Transformer, Traffic Rider , NFS No Limits. No problems. The same with open few tab in Chrome browser. Smartphone still working as a first day. Personally, I have slowly looking around for a successor, but doesn't find worthy . Battery 5000mAh and 5,7' screen is the absolute min, LED notifications , dual-sim, SD card slot (no hybrid), blinking buttons below the screen, mini-jack, plus USB on the top of the unit. Cubot work with Android 5.1. Probably I would wait (on the new smartphone) for Android N. Are you checked Ulephone Power?
Hello,
In my case it was 10-12 hrs too
