I just had to tell people, in case you have been worried about trying. I am running this rom right now, the battery life seems improved and the performance is phenomenal. The time I have spent with this phone I have been constantly trying new kernels and roms to see which runs the best, runs games smooth, generally works. And kept coming up with nice looking smooth roms missing the normal umph I am used to.
Updated to C7 A7 today and it works great smooth gaming everything works, the camera is much improved over the previous cm7's. I have no kernel flashed just the one that came with CM7 and it runs games like asphalt 6 perfectly smooth. This is clocked at 1124 as well so it runs cool (Temperature.) .. Fast and Cool Also has 380ish free RAM so it doesn't have allot of background stuff going, I would imaging the battery life is pretty good, don't know for sure yet. And the GPS works quick, connects to 10 satellites sitting on my couch in my living room!
The only real issue is the wifi signal is not as strong, though it doesn't disconnect or anything its just the signal is lower.
I know this is a bit random and what not but I wanted this out here for anyone that was looking for smooth gaming like I was, after all this is supposed to be faster than the tegra chipset!
Cool. I was waiting for it to be out of Alpha, but I may just go ahead and flash it sooner rather than later.
Yeah, take the jump. I haven't found a reason yet to not recommend it to anyone. Been playing with it pretty heavy today too.
Is anyone having issues with the wallpaper not sticking in cm7. Mine keeps changing randomly.

I'm on 6 right now and it's great. Quick and easy just like any other asop or CM rom.
Battery life is the best thing about this rom not including the other great modifications.

for me battery life is the worst thing =[
Battery life - (Light to moderate usage today) I've unplugged it and left it on from 3am to 8am and it showed 100% still. google and xda forum a little like 5mins and it dropped 2%. It hasn't been charged since and its been 15hours with 40% batt life.
Front camera looks hazy, not sure why but it'll probably get fixed by devs sooner or later. lock screen is awesome, really fast. Graphically every thing looks really good. On sense 3.0 we need to unlock to see time, with CM7 we don't need to any longer General text in CM7 is much biggerand Incoming call text is way-way-Wayyyy bigger compared to other roms Thank you devs ! it made it so much easier to see who's calling now.
i've been using various phones for the past few years and they all had this particular problem i've been facing. if someone calls me and hangs up and speed dials and calls me back immediately, my phone would be engaged. on CM7 and that problem has gone away!!! woohoo!!!!
i can't wait for it to go Beta/stable

have you tried clearing your batt stats in recovery ?
its been reported batt charging is a little off for some people. i was charging it last night and it usually takes between 3~4 hours. on CM7 it only took like 1.5 hours.
I've unplugged it after charging and left it on to see how the drainage goes. its seems alright here.
Hmm been thinking about using this but not sure since it's still in Alpha. I will probably just wait until it's out of alpha/beta. I want a solid rom without many glitches/bugs =p

Use "FXR WIFI fix and rescue" from market..Fixed my low wifi signal bug instantly!!.Still have issue with wifi calling after all update/zip patches.Battery life great after stat wipe and calibration..Stable fast ROM with few bugs @-A7..Already dreaming of a ICS Cyanogen..
I think about 9/10 bugs in the CM7 thread now are due to noob mistakes or people not wiping properly or people restoring bad data into the ROM with titanium backup or its a badly behaving app not the ROM.
This ROM is rock solid for me and many others. Looking at the main thread it might seem otherwise because of all the people reporting errors. Not many happy users pop in to talk about how smooth and stable this ROM is.

IF YOUR BATTERY LIFE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU IN THE WORLD THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU!
Battery life hasn't been thoroughly tested and not expected to be great.
Welcome to ROM ZERO.
ZERO was developed for one purpose. SPEED! You will open apps, download, install apps, and browse the web faster than before. This rom is based on USABILITY SPEED and may not show in benchmarks. It's two totally different things. Battery life is not expected to be great but hasn't been tested so please Don't complain about your battery life. I would like some feedback on the battery life but as I said, don't expect much.
This is a stock rom lightly debloated with a few nice tweaks. I have added my yamato performance edition tweaks and some scripting in the frame buffer to help speed things up. This will give you higher frame rates in games and overall speed. Lean kernel is preloaded and completely over clocked including the GPU out of the box. There is no need to lkconfig. The GPU governor is also automatically set to performance mode. There are alot of adjustments made to this rom for speed. It's FAST.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
De-odexed system with ODEXED apps.
Lightly debloated.
Black & white toggles.
Black status bar.
4.2 keyboard.
Menu to kill.
Holo & stock TW launchers.
Adjusted Bluetooth for quicker connections
Complete rewrite of the build.prop and included all of my HWUI settings for speed and a better visual experience.
Frame buffer speed adjustments.
Full HW rendering.
GPU over-clocked.

I am NOT responsible for you device. Flash this rom at your own risk!
*ISSUES*
Setup Wizard not loading properly. Hit home button to bypass.
INSTRUCTIONS...
1. Flash in recovery
2. Let the rom settle after it boots. Don't touch your phone for a couple of minutes.
3. Spend your 15 minutes and set your settings and whatever else you usually do after you flash your rom. THEN REBOOT. Things will get even better.
4. Enjoy.

Installed this a few hours ago, been playing with it nonstop since then. I love it, but the native wifi tethering does not work. Is there a workaround for this that I'm missing? The wireless tether apps on the market don;t seem to be working, even with changing some settings. Thanks!

I'm going to guess I got a bit carried away with de-bloating. I will check it out. It's something I just never used but I will make it work. Sorry bout that!
Ok I just checked out native tethering but couldn't find any problems. What kind of issue are you having with it?
Not having any luck downloading through the link in the op. Keep getting a downloading error. Is the file hosted anywhere else by chance?? Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I just posted a dropbox link in the op. See if that works better for you. The original link is working fine for me though.
I can start the hotspot from the status bar on top, but when I connect to my phone, get either a Limited Connectivity error or no connection at all. I can take some screenshots when I get home if that would help, maybe the app has an error log that I can find.
Just flashed, had no issues. Everything seems nice and smooth. Its also visually very smooth. Coming from clean ROM I would say as far as "speed" at least opening apps and such Clean ROM is faster, but Zero is very fluid. No issues with lag. I havent tested much else. So far so good though. Nice work and thanks! Its been kind of quiet on the forums since the S4 came out.
Unfortunately I found an issue this morning with some of the scripts loading. This rom is currently not running as I intended it as far as speed. The update tonight will be a huge difference in performance! Sorry about the bug.
Version 1.2 released.
Fixed scripting.
This will be a noticeable improvement!
Thanks for your patience.
I would love to know what battery life you guys get with this.
Downloading now. I have a gorilla gadgets battery 4500mah idk if that'll be much help tho.

Crap thats a big battery. How much time do you usually get out of that?
Nice! Could you possibly remove Backup Assistant from settings? Always bothers me.
EDIT: Also, it's not allowing the setup wizard to complete. This is the only way to get my apps to auto-restore so could you look into it?

Well it's obviously easy enough to remove the app itself but removing the tab from the settings menu isn't something I have ever dove into yet. For me it's a bit complicated and over my head right now. I'm going to have to read up on setting tabs and learn a bit more about it. Probably in version 5.0 lol.
Edit @Your edit..
Darn another flaw! Ugghhh! Yes I will.
Hey guys I just recently got a second hand Ns Im using as an Mp3 player for the gym I loaded ENHDROIX rom but its prettty laggy and stuttery. Loading Pandora is extremely sluggish and actually crashes a bit.
Im looking for a rom with some decent speed and just a few perks, volume rocker wake mainly.
Thanks

well I placed the issue of Pandora in there so perhaps someone who uses the phone the same way could input on what they use and that its comparable to what I am looking for.
I would just dump rom after rom until I find something but time for me is super precious these next couple months.
A chart is great but remember Im not using a lot of the features the charts will describe.
Im only using it for google voice (to see my calls in the gym), pandora, play store, and play music, then some web browsing of course.
I actually turned off all the phone and data features to hopefully conserve battery life.

I just read it. I can try the slim rom. Im going to try installing devil kernel later first and see if it helps.
Still just hoping someone who is utilizing the same features I am can drop in and give their input. Not saying any rom is bad or better just looking to save some time, Im on the road a lot the next few months and the gym is my only real down time. Last night it was quite frustrating dealing with pandora.

The rom version you are using is partly to blame, newer isn't always better, go back to a previous version and install Devil.. the same for Slim, I wouldn't suggest passing 3.0 as of right now and Illusion has a couple issues, but it has serious speed...

Euroskank KitKang is another good option, and Devil Kernel is a must for any of the CM based ROMs, in my opinion.

Try Illusion 3/16 ( I made a bootable version, as the original had a flaw in the updater script, link is on the page) and flash the boot.img from your AOSP rom.. I was getting 5500's in antutu on stock speeds and 6500's overclocked, smooth scrolling and better battery life as well...
Don't try Devil with this rom as it breaks the playstore..

I haven't tested Cyanfox since 2.02, it is a quick rom.. the site is down, gearing up for version 3, I wonder if our device will still be supported?.. C-rom is very fast with Devil kernel, (the initial release, the second release is slightly slower than the first) and has tested higher than any rom I've tried to date, even higher than when I tested Cyanfox.. If our device is supported in version 3, I hope the rotation bug is fixed..

Try changing your governor. I use performance because I don't think interactive is working right almost always stays at lowest CPU speed. I've tried tweaking the parameters on interactive but didn't seem to help. Granted I'm no expert
Also keep an eye on ram. I'm regularly maxing out and trying to keep things closed. No lags coming back so far.

is it safe to force it into performance all the time, I would think that would mess with the battery life pretty bad
not to mention shortening the live of the processor....
I don't see any issue in performance. Battery life is negligible since I have to charge once a day anyway. The theory in performance (granted I don't know if I even really buy it) is that the phone goes back to deep sleep faster when using the performance governor. The battery life is probably only sacked if you have a lot of off screen activity that would not otherwise need performance. If someone knows how the values to tweak to get interactive to work better I would try it out. I've played with various values but really don't see it shifting.
So many Questions, so little time.
Is this device abandoned? It seems like the nightlies are slowing down. Is it a good time to move to another device? Is Cm12 coming to skyrocket?
There's an unofficial cm 12 available now. I'm using it! It's not perfect but it's very good. Sultanxda is the developer and he is updating it on a regular basis.
Hi, I don't know if this is the appropriate place to be posting this, but here goes:
I am currently running the CM 11 nightly 20150510 on an i727r. I've been having problems with my mic for the longest time (I will try calling other on VoIP and they wouldn't be able to hear me and vice versa, or I would pick up a VoIP call and I can hear them but they wouldn't be able to hear me), and it's come to a point where I need the call function.
I understand that if I flash the CM 12 custom rom, there seems to be an audio fix in place (correct me if I'm wrong about this); however, I am also in the middle of a 4 week exam period, AND I'm based in a different country, so I don't want to replace my current ROM with the stock firmware (which would unroot my phone and re-lock the SIM carrier), and at the moment, I don't have time to figure out how to switch over while keeping my notes, calendars, schedules, contacts, etc. intact.
I saw the audio _update zip that @bryan2894 has posted. I was wondering; can I take a shortcut, and just replace these files in the device folders with the updates from the zip?
Compare my screenshot attached to your battery life stats on CM11. I wanted to make this post due to my satisfaction with going back to CM10.2 in lieu of CM11. There is not really any functionality missing that I can tell. I consider myself a moderate to heavy user. With CM11 I was having to always be chasing around a phone charger or my phone would die or almost die a couple times a day. I immediately noticed an improvement in battery life and the CM10.2 snapshot I am running is very stable..
If anyone is getting frustrated with this phone on the latest builds I would suggest going back. I feel like its breathed new life into my experience with the phone. We have a tendency to always chase the newest and latest and greatest but its not always greatest. I feel like that is a microcosm for the story of the MPQ. Tech industry and the general consumer moved on from keyboards like sheep for some reason and the MPQ I feel is still a superior phone to anything on the market simply due to the keyboard. Its an essential piece of hardware to me. I've bought like 10 of these phones and will gladly buy 10 more..
What's your 'screen on' stats look like? That's where the rubber hits the road.
Of course things like crappy mobile signal, wifi being used over mobile, etc will significantly impact battery life.
Hi,
I've flashed CM12 right after my MPQ arrived. I used it with this ROM (with updates) for about a year. Yesterday i got really upset because all of the lags and stutters in CM11, so I've flashed the last CM 10.2.1 ROM. OH MY GOD. My phone runs so much faster and the battery life is awesome. No more lags etc. It feels like a complete diferent phone...now I am really happy with it!
Thanks matt2k12 for the idea of downgrading
EDIT: I use the CM 10.2.1 ROM, just google it. It is in the "stable" section in CM downloads
I sent my phone to get modded a while back and it came back with Carbon ROM on it. The phone runs pretty slow lately.
Do you guys think the Carbon Rom is not the way to go? I've been very disappointed in the performance lately so much so that I was considering a new device.. but I really need the keyboard. I dont have time to mess around with a touch screen.
Should I go for the 10.2.1 ?
you say so very feeling!
