Hi Everyone,
To give xda lovers an idea on the performance characteristics of the most popular 3 WM6 releases, i have just spent the last few hours doing a benchmark using SPB.
The test set up was:
1. OS Flash only
2. No additional Apps after fresh Hard Reset (except SPB Benchmark)
3. Imate Jasjam HT647
4. Main test completed only (no storage card or battery life)
The results speak for themselves (the highest achieving score is marked in red)
EDIT: I forgot the Vanilla ROM. Will update tomorrow, time for sleep, its 5am GMT+10. and only 5 hours sleep in the last 2.75 days.
Thanks,
I know everyone was looking for something like this. Now I know I choose the right OS flavor
Excellent work!!! the dark side wins! wow... maybe I should try it after all
I have a request for all rom cooker and publisher:
PLEASE, once relased a rom, write in the FIRST post:
All possible information about used memory at HR (RAM & Programs).
All reg tweaks included
All external programs installed
Other tweaks like video drivers etc.
All new issues resolved (like VoIP & others)
Someone has done it, someone not. Please post yours cooked rom in this way, so we all can do the right choice, in base at our necessity.
regards
Every time I think I have seen just how resourceful this group is someone comes out of the woodwork and does the yet another thing to surprise me.
(That and a friendly act of one-up-manship )
Many thanks i've been wondering if there was much difference in the speed of the ROMs, now i know. Does any one know how the WM6 ROMs compare to WM5 ROMs speeds?
Yeah - the results do speak for themselves. In my humble opinion, they demonstrate that there is almost nothing to choose between the ROMs in this test because the differences are really tiny. I wonder if you'd even get the same results if you ran the tests a second time?
Thanks for running the tests - interesting stuff!

Sanity! A valuable exercise, but no meaningful difference. Is there en equivalent table for some WM5 ROMS? I keep hearing that WM6 is quicker.
The tables we saw for the different WM5 roms (especially comparing the stock TyTN rom with the south africa and AKU3.3 test roms) were VERY helpfull and the differences were quite noticeable (stability-wise aswell as speed), the WM6 comparisons are all pretty much the same, did the Vanilla rom get a mention at all??
Once we see a full Hermes WM6 rom (from iMate, HTC, Dopod et all) cooked for LVSW,Black or WMXL i predict we may see a noticeable difference from these current ones.
Good thread
What's really frackin kewl about this whole thing is
1. All the roms kick arse.
2. We have a WM6 ROM
3. Have multiple WM6 roms to choose from
4. Start @ 1. and repeat
Don't you just want to laugh! XDA LIVES and it is livin in WM6!
now i personally havent tried any of the wm6, as me and a few others are currently cooking a rom with PTT, i cant go without this feature so i am being patient... I have loaded a few up on my test phone, but havent fully given them a test drive yet... so im not putting anyone or any rom down with this comment, but its something you must realize... fastest doesnt necessarily mean its the most stable. and even if you find one that is stable with your apps doesnt mean its going to be stable for the next guy, its all trial and error
LSVW seems to be the one that runs the most stable without issue and pretty speedy
WM Black runs the fastest, but most unstable for me. Maybe it just the applications I installed having issues. I will works on it again tonight. (After 5 flash......)
WMXL 2.0 has really good features and runs pretty stable too, but somehow it runs slower than other two. A very good custom ROM.
Again, I am not a preofessional give a fair overview. This is just my experience with all 3.

i completely agree with you...i tried all three and lsvw seems to be the most stable
Same OS, the test results didn't show any significant different..........just a little bit.
It will be better and perfect test ,if u compare with WM5.

Hi guys,
the benchmarks I did last night for the 3 roms were done after a clean HR with no additional hacks patches, hence, as they were release by the chef's.
There isnt a significant difference in speed between the three but you will notice that WMXL has around 20mb of free RAM on a fresh HR as it loads more UI data etc in RAM to provide a faster response (this was checked with SKTOOLS).
It will be interesting to see how these roms compare against an official WM6 hermes ROM if one will ever be released.
Nonetheless, as these roms are cooked, expect to find bugs or undisclosed features. If bugs are found, the chefs will try and resolve them etc. Also remember that even though our HERMES are essentially the same, some ROMS wonts work on som devices, so you might have to see what works for you. luckily my JASJAM is compatible with all the roms posted so far so it is pretty universal.
Enjoy the contributions guys and if you can, please donate the xda-developers for the help it has iven you.
I agree that LSVW ROM is the most stable among 3 WM6 ROMs

i will do this soon, give ma an hour....or so.....
mtty is getting a work out.
I will flash SA1.35 and an AKU3.3 ROM.
and then post the results in the first post.
Ping Jasjammin, did you do the WM6 v WM% benchmark? Be good to see how they compare on a fresh comparable install
@all,
havin been away from this forum for quite some time i am back in business.... and hunting to find speed in my roms (not neglecting finesse and stability though)!
so i dug up all off (marks) roms from the depth of my computer again....and am one hell of surprised about the speed of vanilla 2.01 (wm6.0) .
so, what are the real benefits of wm6.1 ???
greetz
ive not noticed any significant difference, hell, if you did a door step challenge on me between the two id be guessing

The only thing is the threaded SMS which is really nice and PIE has a zoom feature. I put it on my wifes MDA and she loves the SMS. But I think it's like Windows Vista. It ain't really worth it to upgrade to it if you've got a stable system on XP. I'm sticking with 6.0 until my next device.
I'm still using Meschle's O2 Premium Plus. Fast, stable and just very capable. Man, he was a great chef!
Meschle's was by far the best. Every other rom is FULL of other stuff that the developer likes but really slows the device down. Running task manager you can see the processor usage for these other apps and it makes the device sluggish.
Ive listend to the arguments and feel teh cube on the 3300 is wayyyyy toooooo sllllooooowwww to use. Its not even any good to show off to your mates its that bad.
Meschle's 6.1 Vanilla 4.02 is my fav. Nice, fast and ultra stable. No reset in 3 months

Yea, that's why I always opt'd for the versions without the cube. Useless anyway. What a joke. And Meschle had a great approach to building his ROMS. Stabilty, speed, & functionality seemed to be the order of priority and I really appreciated that.
As a matter of fact, I just did a hard reset and set my phone up all over again without all the custom phone dialers, themes, weather icons, and today screen changes. The regular ROM dosen't look all that great but it's so fast now. It's amazing how much all those extra cosmetic programs can zap your speed and how much the junk is left from programs that didn't really get uninstalled when you uninstalled them. My phone's always been pretty stable but now it's faster and stable.
Let me state that I have tried in the last couple of days the various flavors of NRG's roms (Sense 2.1 vs 2.5), both 6.5 and 6.5.x, as well as Sergio's and some other roms.
After a number of people in various threads said that Sense 2.5 now runs almost as smoothly as Sense 2.1, I decided to give it a try for the first time in about 6-7 months.
NO WAY.
Anyone claiming that sense 2.5 runs as fast, smoothly or is as responsive as Sense 2.1 on a Rhodium is living in fantasy land. Its not even close. Its bitterly clear that Sense 2.5 is designed to run on 1ghz Snapdragon processors.
Is Sense 2.5 more visually appealing? ABSOLUTELY. For anyone who prefers 'eye candy' as their #1 requirement, I highly recommend you guys try NRG's Sense 2.5 ROM's. All the landscape issues of past months have pretty much been resolved, the icons, animations, etc look fantastic.
But its also a whole lot slower. Just switching between tabs causes lag, not to mention loading apps, emails, txt msgs, etc. It it horrific? No. But is it noticeably slower than Sense 2.1? Yea, for me it was without a doubt.
As for the the other Sense 2.5 ROM's... they all look great as well, both the 6.5 and 6.5.x versions. But in each and every instance, the phone was sluggish with some level of frequency.
I think its too bad that so many chefs are now cooking exclusively with Sense 2.5 ... our phones just cant handle the added resource requirements the way HD2's can.
So for now, I will continue to stick with Sense 2.1 rom's, always based on 6.5 since I hate the buttons at the bottom nonsense. But thats just me.
im with you buddy. I hate the buttons on the bottom stuff and all I wanted from sense 2.5 was the full screen. everything else is just a waste for daily use. To much lag from all the extra graphics.
Agree, 2.1 is the best for Rhodium as for performance!
depends on the build.
True. Me too, I was so tempted to flash the new eyecandy sense, but reading the threads, i've noticed only people that flash their phones 3 times a week (as a hobby or just for trying new stuff) are happy with it. I want more functionality, so I thought is not a good idea, now I see is not only me
I'm going to have to chime in and agree with you guys. I love the look and feel of 2.5, but it is too sluggish for me. I don't mean to dis the chef's here that spend a LOT of time so that we can have it, it's just that our processors aren't quite enough to handle the load. I've flashed just about every sense 2.5 here, and they are all quite slower than 2.1.
Oh, and I'm with you guys on the bottom buttons. IMO it just looks ugly, and seems unstable.
Yes, it's a little bit slower. But there has been a great speed improvement compared to the past. And I believe that the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages. I really don't want to go back to sense 2.1. Yes it's faster, but the way 2.5 looks and works is a great improvement.
And for the comparison between 6.5 and 6.5.X, if you like to have a small X button at the top then stick with 6.5. But if you like to use the phone without a stylus then the bottom buttons are really great. You can press the buttons faster so I think you just need to get used to it
For me 6.5.X with sense 2.5 is the best combo
2.1 all the way
the only difference i see in 2.5 is music tab but basically they're almost the same, 2.5 gives you less icon tab if you want more you have modified and that make it slower and them there's landscape for more they do to it its not perfect. common guy just add what you like from 2.5 to 2.1 and that would make a perfect rom.
2.5 has every tab redone to be more efficient. some builds even have the twitter client, document viewer, ebook reader, and foot prints. some builds, like the 2011 are made for this hardware and work really well. its up to what you like. and 2.1 will probably always be faster. but i like features. if you prefer 2.1, by all means use that instead. im not going to try and convert anybody to 2.5 like a mormon going door to door.
Like the above poster mentioned if your flashing often then I think that everything is snappy. I had so many crashing/freezing problems when 2.5 was cooked in. Everything disappeared when I flashed e2 att rom to my tilt 2 or if I used titanium. I love flashy stuff myself but at the end of the day I need something thats reliable. I want the device waiting on my input not the other way around.
and what about the official upgrade with sense 2.5 that tp2 got is it fast like on hd2 or still slow

I had high hopes when I heard about the official ROM with Sense 2.5...but it just wasn't meant to be. To me, it's slow.
Having gone back to stock WinMo 6.1 ROM, the performance was like night and day...

Im very interested in that also. Aren't most of the 2.5 manila that installed in most roms from other devices thats tweak to use with tp2. I would give a look at any official rom. Im running official without bloat and havent had a single problem.
the official 2.5 is just sluggish. None of my performance tweaks seems to work. Thats all. Tried it for 4 days and didnt encounter any problem with it except for slow and buggy messaging app. The home screen is noticeably slower when you have the weather up and running.
Overall, i needed a great response from my device, so i revert back to the official 2.1
It surprises me that nobody mentioned that tf3d/sense is just eye-candy in the first place! If you want a fast and stable rom, go for one without it.
Myself, I haven't noticed any severe lag on sense 2.5. It is a bit slower at some times (messaging), but nothing that pushes me back to 2.1.
Just my 2 cents...
i want the today quick launch icons from 2.5 thats all
I have up dated to the new ROM and I really like it asthetically it's pleasing but, as others have said, 2.5 is sluggish on a few things which is slowly becoming annoying. This is notibly when using the hardware keyboard pressing FN and then SMS, very slow.
Not that keen on the SMS app, preferred 2.1's and the calendar has too much of a delay in the agenda view to show all day appointments. The 'built-in' facebook features also seem to be slower than before. I may well go back to 2.1, we'll see.
My 2pence worth.
First of all thanks a lot for making this post as i 'm new to all this and i 'm currently expirimenting with different roms and i couldn't miss the slugginess you all refer too. I had decided that i would put energy rom which looked cool but when talk became action i was kind of disappointed. +i hate the people tab from 2.5. I want to have 3 people in there not 9. why make me? So switched to 2.1 and from now on i will only be looking for roms with that.
Thanks again.
Try the simplicity ROM, its buttery smooth and fast. Energy looks great and has a ton of cooked-in features and apps, but not the fastest. Other fast, lightweight ROMs are Jackos and Valkyrie. Haven't tried those myself, but good comments by other users.
And don't forget, most ROMs take a while to "settle" right after you flash. Give it at least an hour before you start freaking out about lag and slowness.

Are you relying on the information in an eight month old thread? Sense works wonderfully on the Rhodium. It requires a bit more work than TF3D, but the rewards are well worth it. As far as the people tab goes, you could simply use CHT to put a few contacts in one of the side pages. There's also OCT to look into to overclock the CPU. Running at a constant 748.8MHz makes the entire ROM buttery smooth. I, like most users here find that the benefits far outweigh any negative effects that you might find in the UI. Yes, it requires a bit more tweaking, but it is by far a better one than TF3D.
If you must go for a TF3D ROM, Jackos has a really good one available that you might want to consider.
do we really need so many competing roms? it;s hard to choose between the many 2.1 roms for my hero

Yeah, we do. The ROM devs are in most cases developing the ROMs to suit their own needs for a ROM, but also so kind that they share them with others, while other devs are doing it to learn about android, development etc. If you have problems choosing which ROM to use, stay with the stock - otherwise flash, experiment and have fun!
As a general rule, the more chefs you have, the better the overall quality of all the ROMs.
Whilst it is "logical" to try to have several chefs work on a single ROM, the reality of the situation is that tight collaboration is very difficult when you are talking about something that is generally only developed in peoples spare time.

Dave
It is a bit annoying to see 6 replicas of one rom, just with a few different apps chucked in. That's the nature of Android development these days though. I think it was Cyanogen that suggested that a proficiency with Winzip makes you a 'developer' these days...
Personally, I don't see it as a competition. If I could help out Benhaam or Lox in any way with one of their roms, I would.
To be totally truthful, pick ANY of the current Eris builds, and the chances are there isn't much of a difference between them. It's better to pick a rom with an active dev and following in my opinion.
don't worry i have flashed happily, as I can't live with stock 1.5 (come on htc, please release 2.1 for the hero). just felt like whinging after studying this forum to try and guess which rom would best suit me and finding not much clear info.
am running neo 1.3 (2.1+sense) on my hero, and stock 2.1 on my nexusone. very interesting to compare and contrast the two - unsure if I prefer sense or not, but do like (need) the htc exchange client having calendar support (hey googgle, why doesn't stock android have this?)
as i tested all Eris rom here villain3.3 is most stable but i still revert back to SenseHero 1.6 which more smoother run & it is an ART WORK! Hope the offcial 2.1 for hero will out soon ='(
ahh finally i can vent my frustration. its not the amount of roms that are available that bothers me as the devs on here are quite good but the way they dont seem to work together nor communicate. i may be rom. all the devs on here are busy working with this bugged up Eris dump and everything else has been neglected. All the Eris roms are more or less the same and all more or less offer the same positives and negatives. Vanillian which is a fantastic rom has all been neglected so all we have to flash apart from Ahero 0.52 are all the same thing. it doesnt take long to flash all the 2.1 Eris dumps roms on offer before you find yourself running back to MCR or Sensehero due to that bugged up dump. it would be nice to see some form of variety in this forum and not every chef offering 2.1 Eris roms which are far from complete. each dev adds something different to their roms but alas they do not make that mucvh different to the end product. come on guys not all of us want to use 2.1 Eris dumps, we also like the vanilla options too. soon when Legend dump is available we will have similar 6 roms with Legend roms. there is not much vareity in this forum and it be nice to see more vareity on here. i have flashed them all, yep all the bugged up Eris ports and always head back to 1.5 for various reasons...........however Ahero 0.52 is there to save the day and offer a different alternate solution.
please dont flame me for expressing my opinion. feel free to express yours as i have done mine.

Actually, the devs communicate quite well via Twitter. If I'm not mistaken, Lox and Behnaam likes to communicate via Gtalk (from what I followed).

No, we don't. And we shouldn't. Why?
Look at the Linux distribution arena (and not only).
They're a lot, but none is really viable on everyday desktop/laptop use.
The reason is simple: fragmentation.
Fragmentation of (scarce) human resources.
Fragmentation of (even more scarce) economic resources.
Fragmentation of the (ever growing) user base.
The same goes for the graphical desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, Xfce to name a few).
On the opposite side we have the internet browser and the *BSD OSes.
We actually have much fewer actors, with stabler products, better engineering.
What I'd like to see in the Android arena is a very stable and effective software base on top of which a relatively large number (I'd say about 5 and less than 10) of UI tweakers and developers push the user experience to the max.
But, again, a single high quality software base (that is the kernel, the system libraries and so on).
This's my EUR 0.005 contribution.
Linux technically is not the OS Linux it is the kernel, its not fragmented at all, as the developers submit the changes and its decided by a set group, the same as any closed dev team would do but they are at different world locations.
Because of how BSD is closed off it takes 3x longer for new software to be implemented..and driver are a nightmare
If the rom dev sub foum was not so cluttered with things that don't belong in it like this thread that should really be in the Q&A section, it would be easier to keep track of the roms..

Linux is the kernel. And GNU/LInux is the (basic) OS with all the GNU stuff.
So I can say that 99% of Linux kernel based distros are Linux.

It is fragmented. Take an application at random, let's say Openoffice or GIMP.
You cannot just download ONE aplication and install it on any distro. That's not because of the packaging medium (RPM, DEB, TGZ etc.) but because of software and library dependecies and other system dependent choices.
If you choose, let's say, Ubuntu 9.10 and the package (version) you need is not available for it, then it's up to you to invest in time in makeing an hand made installation ...

That's because the human resources are scarse, not because of the "closed" model. And then you have a choice among super-distributions on top of FreeBSD, though.

I can count not less than half a dozen of 2.1 based ROMs all with very minor differences each other. And the same goes for the 1.5.
I cannot swear on it, but I think that the biggest gap is in less than 5% of the whole system.

5%? How did you come to such a precise conclusion?
Do share your calculations with us.
I guess you didn't take into account some of the AOSP based ROMs.
I do agree; there's A LOT of cloning; a guy taking someone's ROM, repackaging with some "customization", and calling it his own work.
This is one of the reasons I totally left the WinMo devving, but I knew it was a matter of time till the same happened to the Android scene.
That's sad, but true.
I don't even care about some of the guys calling themselves "devs", just because they "released" a few roms, who don't even give credit to the people, thanks to whom they learnt/started.
As long as they get enough attention to their thread, they no longer care about the aformentioned. What for? ... It's like a machine which just turns itself after a while.
The more ROMS we have the better, the thread title is a backwards title.
No calculation. Simply I compare performances and features from 3.3 to 3.4.
3.4 is no more stable or fast than 3.4, to me at least.
Memory footprint is almost the same. Not FC in aither ROM ...
And I bet that if nprussel brought anything bigger than 5% he would have put it into the annoucement.
Instead it shows little more than new application list and a GUI theme.

My point about the fragmentation was in relation to the kernel not a minor thing like dependency's that really has no relation to fragmentation, The Distribution is called a Linux based distribution not "Linux" in an entirety!
Anyway... I know what the above posters are getting at when it comes to people making a minor change to other peoples dumps and claiming to be dev's when really they are nothing more than cooks.
No to take away any credit for what the produce but if you look at the g1 forums it seems a mass of good work, but very little low level development actually happens on the hero side.

Hey man.. Am I missing something or aren't you cooking anymore?
OT: i totally agree by what you say about releasing a rom that just doesn't need any hardcore coding. Even I without any linux skills can "cook" (read: remove / add apps) This is not creating a rom. This is personalizing one to suit your needs.
Creating a rom imho is coming up with new (speed) hacks or options to make it more functional. Or better looking. From what I "learned" even creating a skin isn't that easy as it was with winmo with all that scripting.
my 2k
Meh, I have a G1, its pretty obvious when roms stand out, for the G1
SuperD (1.6)
FastTest (1.6) based on SuperD, but bleeding edge
CyanogenMod (1.6) Stable, more than anything
OpenEclair (2.1) Collaborative project between ChrisSaywer/WesGarner
and for 2.1 sense roms, I normally run a KingKlick rom...
it seems, for stability, and general acceptance that Fresh is the way to go, but there are other builds that use his stuff for a base that are more bleeding edge but have improvements... its pretty easy to see whats popular just by a view/post count on the thread.

I suppose 5% is close. I didn't claim it would be significantly quicker. It's definitely quicker though.
Anyway, that's besides the point.
Benham is leading the way right now in my opinion, but I have just got my hands on a Legend leak, that I have got to boot on the Hero. I'm currently trying to get all the hardware working (Wifi, mic, back speaker, GPS all not working). I have asked a couple of other developers for some help, and we'll probably release it as a community release.
I think the rom developers should start working together and create teams. Maybe some could focus on fixing stability issues, some on improving speed and compatibility, some on implementing features from other rom releases and some on optimizing and implementing themes. There is a optimum for the OS, so why put a lot of time and effort into fixing the same bugs and problems over and over again in different rom releases? The differences lay within the themes and included features, which could be made available as separate (and optional) installer packages. So I say..... organize and collaborate! Independent Android development (independent from the manufacturers) as a community will be much more powerful and professional.
Different branches could emerge from the Hero branch easily, making the developers base grow and 'interaction' between the different branches a lot easier.

So, err..in other words; Workers of the world unite? well, im a keen supporter of that
Hey guys,
Just thought I'd give back to the community here.
What do you get when you cross a ROM junkie, MS-Excel, and a guy with too much free time on his hands?
I'm hoping the attached spreadsheet helps (at least one person!) determine what type of Wildfire S custom ROM might best suit your needs.
I will start with a few disclaimers:
- First and foremost, thanks to ALL the chefs for cookin' us up these yummy ROMs. Lest you take some of my reviews as personal critiques of your work, know that I am grateful for all the time and effort you put into these things. I hope I speak on behalf of EVERYONE who's running a custom ROM right now.
- My benchmark tests are by no means exhaustive. There are better threads describing how it should properly be done (along with some actual ROM results). My "tests" were for my own personal interest. I ran (at least) two Antutu tests on the device and tried to keep the same test scenario for each ROM: I flashed the ROM; tweaked CPU settings such that CPU runs at 120-806Mhz under the Smartass governor with noop trigger (unless otherwise stated in the XLS); and then ran Antutu with the default "test all" test.
I realize that two test runs is not enough and probably not a true indicator of performance (but it IS better than nothing!) Basically, my benchmark scores served as a really rough guide for me, and I'm just sharing those results with you. Do with them what you will.
- Gaps: there are a few of them on my XLS. Let me explain.
* Quadrant - I read (somewhere on this forum) that Quadrant isn't as robust a benchmark tool as Antutu. So I stopped using it.
* Jikantaru XE - I tried to give this one a chance, I really did. But it kept freezing on me, especially after coming out of lock/sleep screen. Sorry, Jik. I know other ROMs use this kernel (successfully), so I'm not sure why this particular ROM didn't like my particular phone.
* MIUI - Never got a decent Antutu score (similar experience as CM7). Ran the test >5 times (for both MIUI and CM7) but gave up logging anything extra once I realized it was scoring consistently low. Expect similar results as CM7 (but with a touch more free space left over).
* All the rest of the gaps - Sorry. You get what you get. ;-)
If anyone finds this crap useful, then click that razzy-snazzy Thanks button, below!
If I see enough Thanks come in, that'll be my cue to release more of these XLS sheets as new ROMs come out.
Cheers,
- Anthony
New version of this coming out shortly.
(I've filled in Quadrant values across the board and went back to fill in more "gaps", especially for the MIUI ROM.)

Nicely done m8, thumbs up
Thank you, kindly.
There is already a similar thread at comparing roms, so you could use his antutu scores,the user d33ps1x made it i think. So you don't do the double work ... Which i guess you already did but anyway...
My table compares approximately 20 criteria (Antutu score being just one of them) across about a dozen ROMs. I have yet to see a similar chart.
Not only that, but I clearly state in Post #1 that my benchmark tests are by no means exhaustive (and I actually re-direct folks to find the proper thread, if that's what you're after).

I'm just helping you have a better result (which means more representative) by using your testings, plus his testings ... and get the middle ...
Added to index at general information.
Thx, for making this
Niiice, thnx man
would you prefer the m1ndh4x8r GB2.3.5 or cyanogenmod 7?
Mindhacker's ROM. I wouldn't buy an HTC Phone if I didn't want to use sense
No offense though, I love CM7 and the work put in. Just that I'm a fan of HTC Sense UI
I don't know about your "Final thoughts" on JxMatteo. I quite like the font and I missed it when I tried CM7.
I liked the Android bootup sound too, but I understand that some people can find it annoying.
Perhaps you should avoid including your opinion in the chart.
What about Chocolate & Coffee?!?!
Yummiest of 'em all!
*I'm not joking. Just check in the Dev section and you'll see it.
This is a nice overview. I was using CM7 so far, but I might try some other ROM now.
This has been one of the greatest helper thread...:good:
Do we have any updated thread on this topic??
I put ICS 4.0.4 MIUI 2.8.10 and I love it very much.
I have enough internal memory so I don't need INT2EXT like when I use Sense5.
