[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.

no idea about skype.
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.

Wow, Bud,
1 sec of lag?
1 reboot?
Maybe you should just stick to stock.

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.

Torrent, and direct download. I recommend the torrent for screaming speeds. The direct download is slowish to begin with and can get swamped.

It was fresh synced from the AOKP repo about 2 hours ago. So its bleeding edge as far as AOKP skyrocket is concerned. Bugs will come and go.

I will add new builds periodically, nightly builds are probably a bit overboard as not much changes from day to day.

changes?

Awesome dog.
It has the charge while off fix, the hot reboot fix is in there but havent been on it long enough to confirm. And whatever framework changes AOKP made or changes the CM team made.
You really have to keep an eye on the CM github and AOKP github to get specific changes.

Looking very nice nanners

I am one of the biggest complainers about battery life you will ever hear of.
I'm at %64 since 6:20am with 3hrs 2 mins screen time and 41 minutes of phone calls. I'd say that's pretty damn good IMO.
Best battery I've experienced on AOKP to date and it's only been 5.5 hrs. After a few days of settling in it should be even better.

Normal aosp, cm9, aokp. I have a case with a battery in it so I'm doubled up. But I've gone 10hrs on a charge, or I've burned it up in 5. All depends on usage. (Those are without using the case battery)

I like the notification lights but is there a way to make them blink every 10 seconds or so instead of being on solid until checked? They are very bright and I'd prefer a slow blink. I didn't see anything in the settings.

Do you have an Extended Battery? I don't see how it's possible to have 3 hours of screen time and still be at 64%, even if you're using WIFI and the lowest brightness.

Nah, it won't be in the development section as its just compiles of AOKP from their repo, I haven't modified it in any way.

As of now, only with the BLN control app from the market. I think you need the paid version for blinking. Also, blinking consumes more battery according to the developer of the app.

Carbon is mine. Probably the most stable.

I gotta try PACman, i've read good things.. but i've been running mastamoon's unofficials for months now.. had a lot of problems with cm10.1 when it came out with bluetooth music streaming, so i tried out his build, he has a few reverts etc that work great.. basically just cm10.1 with a few modifications. I still have yet to try anything wild

slimbean. by far.
I dont think ill try anther AOSP rom for this phone, says the flashaholic

I have rootbox right now, I've read all the AOSP threads and noticed some common issues -
1. phone freeze requiring battery pull, esp during call - I've seen this
2. gps problems
3. 3.4 kernel is slow and unstable
e.g. carbon rom went from using 3.4 to 3.0, now I think its back to 3.4. I like pie controls and AOKP/SlimBean doesn't have them so I haven't tried those.

Not to be a troll, but someone will call me one..
Dont we have enough favorite roms and best Rom threads?

That one AOSP ROM. You know, the one you can find in the Original Android Development section.

Liquid Smooth for me.
I had problems with Carbon, my home button would "accelerate" so later and later in the day the long press would become shorter and shorter until I restarted my phone. Yes it was a clean install, otherwise I'd be on Carbon.

Most Stable : RootBox
Close Second : SlimBean

For me, the March 15th build of Paranoid has been the best AOSP experience I've ever had. Usually something about each ROM will annoy me a little after a while, but I've been going strong on this one since it came out.

Was carbon now just switched to liquid when I realized they have 99% the same features yet I had more stability on liquid, no more random reboots or problems with certain governors.

The latest liquid is outstanding!

Agreed. I'm on 10.1 on my One S and everything is running smoothly. That's always the most important factor for me.

I'd like to use CM but I found the camera somewhat lacking compared to the ones on Sense-based ROMs. But it's been a while since I last flashed a non-Sense ROM, so video recording issue has probably been fixed.

I would avoid CM... it hasn't been "stable" since CM 10.0.

Maximus 10 is the most stable rom i have ever used and i will stick with it

I used Cyanogen for a long long time. It would positively SIP at the battery. I don't know if it was luck or skill, but on a day when I would barely use it, I'd still be at 96% at midday.
If I used it at all, of course it would use a lot more. But there were few few days when I didn't still have at least 55% left at bedtime.

Maximus 10 for me, stable, fast, and has BlinkFeed and Sense 5 :good:

same...
skyzent said:

I have tried both... I don't see difference to battery life....

In my experience Maximus is way more stable than cm. No spontaneous reboots and such
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

well on my opinion maximas rom is more stable and fast at this point. cm 10.2 has a few lags and reboots. but cm 10.1 is good. you can try that too.:good::good:

Maximus10 is really optimised for the One S compared to CM. Especially the camera app which is very good and was very bad on every CM release I've tried before.
Battery life is better, to my opinion, and you can directly use the integrated battery saving feature.

Custom ROM for Mi4i

I am presently on 6.5.6.1. It lags a lot. Miui is very heavy. Too much bloatware and system apps. Too less free RAM. I was wondering could any of the devs working on cyanogenmod or and other devs could come up or port a lighter and more snappy ROM for mi4i. I think cm will take time so is there any way of getting a better ROM earlier? Also are dev ROMs any better than these inbuilt global ROMs? Will they provide a better experience?

This is niche phone, it doesn't have as broad a following as Samsung, LG or HTC. You'll just have to wait. To answer your question, yes a custom ROM will be better in regards to memory as MIUI has some of the worst RAM managing I've ever seen. Damn this phone chugs through it's memory. MIUI is just too heavy.. And they still talk about how the Lollipop build is still new.. So.. In terms of responsiveness, I'd say Cyanogen or any AOSP rom is worth waiting for as MIUI is heavy and 8 cores in itself doesn't make the device fast, you can have all the cores in the world, but if they were all clocked at like 1GHz the simplest tasks would still be slow. These cores are not the fastest, so running MIUI on them is just a bad idea from the get go. Granted I hoped source code would have been released earlier, but now that Cyanogen is being tested, all there's left to do is wait. And yes, it can ONLY get better.
MIUI is **** anyways. Just putting it out there. ^^ - Sorry if that offends, but it is. I bought this phone for the price and to see if it runs AOSP well, if it does, it's a win. If not, I'll sell it again and go buy a phone that actually runs as if it's 2014/15.. Meaning that at least I can open Google Play Music without counting to 5 before it goes from minimized to ready on my screen, lol. How embarrassing. Cyanogen all the way. Light and smooth.. MIUI is everything wrong with bloated stock roms. ^^ This turned into a rant, lul.
