How long till a 2.2 ROM will be usable?

Hey this is mainly aimed at Dev's,
How long will it be before a workable 2.2 ROM is cooked up, I think its just come out for the G1 with cyanogen 6, so it shouldn't be too long here?
Thanks guys!!

Cyan's 6alpha is quite usable even now. Just few issues like no preview in camera (but camera is taking photos correctly), and trackball isn't blinking for notifications.
But seems to work stable, and is almost fully functional

yeah, and its only a matter of time before all these bugs are ironed out one by one, especially as all the good dev's will be working on a 2.2 rom, they will manage to get everything fixed between them.

I second that, Cyanogemod 6 is working on my phone for the last two days, it's super quick and usable. If you can manage without Sense, it's a real charm.

Use the alpha0 from CM Forum or the latest nightly from teamdouche buildbot.
(Both are the same version)

flashing again now

I tried one of the nightly builds and nothing worked. The colours on the screen were all messed up — most stuff was lime green. And none of the buttons work and the touchscreen didn't work. I had to just take the battery out.

read the thread about nightly builds. widely discussed with well documented easy to flash fix.
or, do as posted above your post and just get the latest from the new nightly buildbot or the alpha.

The 10/07 build (currently the latest one on the Cyanogen website) works fine for me - just no camera preview and some issues with trackball lights as mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
Works good enough for me to keep it on as my regular rom...

i think at the latest when the legend become its 2.2 update. then we are afloat with legend ports

that would be nice, but it's clear we won't have to wait that long. the only major hickup is the camera and they're working away trying to solve issues with it. Remember this is an AOSP rom (with cyanogen additions and changes), not a sense rom, and hardware support from 2.1 roms is ripe which is I'm sure part of why froyo worked so well right off the bat on the hero (again, other than the obvious camera bug, some media/3d issues (which if I recall seemed to be specific to a couple of apps) and some minor led notification problems).
strange though that the latest alpha build isn't as fast (measurably so and by quite a bit) as the original pre-alpha build was.
Considering the original had a sort-of camera thanks to camera magic it's really a more fun rom to play with than the later builds which ahve working apps2sd etc.
I hope they can get the speed back up.

I have a better question:
How long til 2.2 with Sense?!
any idea?
Desire has it as I know.

froyo with sense seems like htc trying to make the most of the "sense" brand name now. I'd prefer a froyo phone without sense after having used my hero with nonsense froyo for a few days.
does sense on desire 2.2 have anything the older sense versions don't have? if not then it would take features away from froyo (such as froyo's contact integration, froyo's multiple exchange account support with multiple exchange calendars, just to name a couple of great features which are already in the current alpha builds).
UPDATE: I should add that Sense was an incredible thing in 1.5 roms. it's still got sexier widgets than most other non-sense widgets offer, although exceptions exist. But it stomps all over the way android works by offering it's own set of features (like exchagne support with calendar integration for one account).
now with froyo we have almost everythign sense offers and in some cases we have quite a bit better tools than what sense offers.
the worst part about froyo adn all vanilla roms is the dialer, so just download "dialer one" from the market for free and set it as your default dialer. it's at least as good as the sense dialer and integrates well with froyo and with all vanilla roms.

I understand what you say : )
I like the way I can dial people/numbers, I can write sms, I can call the favorites, the calendar widget, the notes widget.
You are lucky that you can get "your" Froyo now : )

I'm sure you're happy now. I was happy with sense. I didn't understand that vanilla's sms, contacts, and so on are better than those in sense.
if you think your favorites setup is good now, just wait until your froyo setup has finished it's first update (this can take an hour or more if you come from 2.1 with lots of apps installed previously... google will try to reinstall them for you on your froyo rom!). you find your person in the contacts list and have instant single screen click-to-contact with every form of contact that person has enabled. sms, each phone number, gmail, exchange mail, gtalk, facebook, and more. it's quite a bit nicer than sense.
I think you'll like it if you actually give it a chance. Sense's feature list is getting pretty old now by android standards. launcherpro and adw launcher are dramatically better than the sense launcher too, especially imho launcherpro which is the only alternative launcher that is actually faster than the sense launcher even with live wallpaper running and 5 to 7 screenfuls of widgets and shortcuts (as I'm doing now).
I'm just telling you this because I'd hate to see someone disable great features in the new operating system by having sense installed because they don't realize that sense is actually overwriting the superior newer android features with sense's older and less integrated contact and email features.
I wish HTC would release their mail widget as a product for non-sense phones, it's really sexy. but the sense contacts widgets are pretty terrible compared to what's built into vanilla roms with launcherpro (the home screen contact shortcuts are brilliant and very sexy in vanilla). and the calendars from free products like jorte or gemini are excellent, integrated products, and have a great style of their own if you like that kind of thing (but they can only integrate calendars in froyo, not in 2.1 vanilla from my experience... so I suspect those developers will see a big increase in use of their great products in coming months).
sorry, too much caffeine here LoL
cheers
UPDATE: by the way, I don't expect you to say "oh wow, I didn't know that, I'll take your word for it" LoL. I just am hoping you and others will keep an open mind that "vanilla" doesn't mean "missing features" necessarily. seems to be my goal today, I'll stop posting about it now

[ROM] AOSP rom from vibrant forum (by eugene373 et al.)

hi! like many of you i have been waiting for a clean aosp rom and it looks like we get some first taste of the forbidden fruit there. i found the following in the vibrant forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757000
remember it's for the vibrant and it's alpha (no radio & other things) but i guess it should work for the i9000 as well. it's just a start but finally things are happening . i will give it a try shortly
thanks to eugene, barak and possible others i don't know of!

just flashed it and played a little bit and here is my report:
* wlan works but is slower than stock
* calling works but 3g-data doesn't
* camera doesn't work
i didn't test:
* bluetooth
* gps
everything else seems to work and is quite smooth!
quadrant-score: 859, 875, 845
very nice work for an alpha version! i'm quite excited for what's to come
edit:
* after sync and reboot wlan seems to be as fast as normal...maybe my isp f***** up (again).
* after moving /data/data to /dbdata/data (dbdata is not used by this rom) this thing is FLYING!
* everything seems stable so far
i think i will keep this for now even if data is not working. awesome experience to have stock android (again)!

Very nice to see a asop on the way. Lets hope some I9000 dev have the time to adapt this for galaxy

after playing around with this i think there won't be a lot we have to change! just the kernel and the modules (i still use the JM2 kernel/zImage) and that's easy to adapt...

How did you install this asop rom?
I guess some files mods are needed? Build.prop etc?

nope. just flash the zip with clockwork over an existing firmware (in my case JM2). first boot will take a littel longer because of odex-ing.

Great to see some work on AOSP for the Galaxy S series. I've been surprised that no-one's done anything on it before, but confident that if the right people turned their minds to it they'd be able to get it running (even if all the drivers aren't sorted at first).
I don't really have a problem with TouchWiz, considering that I'm actually using LauncherPro and like the notification bar toggles etc. However, AOSP builds make me confident we'll see Gingerbread (and beyond?) because we won't have to depend on Samsung.

Wow, this is good news! I'm looking forward to having a stock Android. Although I want to try Sense more!
Im guessing once this becomes more stable, Sense is not far off?

wow, very good news.... when 3g-data will be fixed, surely i'll try this, even if i like touchwiz, i think that the sgs will be smoother without it....
hoping also in a AOSP FROYO ROM

report after ~17h use:
* gps doesn't work
* wlan works well and fast (i had 18-19mbit before with speedtest.net, same as my pc) but the driver seems to have some stability problems when it's idle for some time...
* short radio problem before, restart fixed it so radio probably is a little instable in the long run as well
quadrant scores of ~950 but linpack of only ~6.5MFLOPS? strange! everything is running very very fast and responsive (only fix aplied is: moved /data/data on /dbdata/data) and it boots faster. both definitely better than stock!
i am wondering why almost nobody seems to be interested in this. i had the feeling that more people wanted an aosp rom since we had a thread about that almost ever 2-3 days ...

I tried this asop for few hours: slower than best sgs rom's , no data connection, wifi slow, some app errors. Still not good enough for daily use but a very promising start.

Sounds really great, but I'm on JP3 right now and it seems to have less bugs than this :-/

This is only an alpha. I'll be more inclined to test when its in beta, as will many others I think. Especially as there are some troubles with core drivers.

Does this already run on a different file system (instead of RFS)? If not, will it be possible in the future to do so?

no, it does not repartition anything.
yes, if you repartition the nand and have a kernel with e.g. yaffs2 support.
should both be possible atm with some effort...

i'm really interested,although Wiz notification bar is handy (but i could manage with standard power control widget)...i'm not able to program or do other too technical stuff,but i'd be happy to check for bugs (when it'll become a little more usable,i'm on h3g and i absolutely need 3g )

yeah, they are working on it and will soon release the source on github. i use it for almost 2 days now and except the missing data it's working fine for me. really fast and sleek. i guess that we will soon have a beta version with most of the stuff working....i think it's just amazing that this rom is only about half the size of the samsung firmware even with gapps!
although i like stock android more 2 things i already miss are the notification bar and the movie player which can play so many more formats than the stock one, but thats a small price to pay.

Can't the .apk's be ripped and installed anyway? I'm looking forward to try this when data is working!
Is this 2.1 or 2.2?

it's 2.1
hm. the apps could probably be ported but it would be more complicated than installing the apk. they rely on libraries, the custom ui stuff and probably other apps like content providers etc. the only thing i REALLY want is the movie player! it's just very comfortable to just copy some movies/series onto the device before a train ride without the need to transcode

Interested, yea. As in "interesting to follow and see if it becomes functional." At the moment it's an alpha with no 3g data, wifi issues, bluetooth issues, no camera, and no GPS.
What more do you expect with it in its current state? Sheesh.

cm6 v.s. Fresh 3.2 ?

Ok Im all backed up and ready to give it a go. I just have a few questions.
I don't use the Sense Launcher and have almost nothing on my home screens. just the scrolling dock at the bottom. launcher pro.
What are some things I am going to lose?
What is the differences in the Camera? Details?
What are the differences in the Dialer?
I like the dialer on Fresh 3.2 because of the FB integration.
I don't use 4G
I have not used HDMI as my flatscreen has a CPU connected already.
Is it possible to have the gallery from 3.2 with the FB pictures tab? or is that a sense thing?
Basically I don't know what all is strictly sense.

the default aosp dialer has what i consider to be a fault. you can't just spell out the name of contact. so i started using DialerOne.
dont' forget to check out both CM6 related threads (both are a bit quiet, but will answer many of the questions you may cross...search is your friend)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729802
not sure on the FB stuff since I don't use it except to fill in the pics in my contact list.
give it a whirl. it will be a bit different.
enjoy.

Thanks Draginmagik (sportbike rider?) I had already thought out what I wanted to ask while at work and only had time to ask while on lunch. Figured Id get some input from some people who had used both but your input is appreciated to. I forgot about dialer one. That is one of my favorite things about the dialer I have. I tried Dialer One on The moment but couldn't get it to come up with the green button. I guess thats not a problem with the evo.

A few things ive noticed in Fresh 3.2 Vs Cyanogen mod is that...
Fresh's battery life (by itself, no kernal flashed) is by far the best of any of the ROMS ive used.
I like the sense camera sooooooo much more than the default android camera so thats a no brainer for me.
I do like the AOSP call history though, its much easier to navigate to and through.
Overall, im running Cyanogen right now but ill probably go back to Fresh later tonight... the battery difference is amazing.

Reading a little more I don't see where Sprint vvm / weird text message is there or not. I hated that on the Hero AOSP roms. Also want to get opinions on GPS as i need it to work at the end of this week. I will be flashing this tonight, just want to get some feedback so dont need the "just try it" post. Again, Im just trying to get a comparison so I know what to look for faster after I flash to be sure I like it before I head home this weekend. Once I get on the road and get back home, phone playtime is over until I get caught up at home . hahaha.

Have you tried Kings ASOP kernrel? Im using #3 BFS and its great if I dont use the phone but it seems to suck down pretty quick when the phone wakes up. I'm over the battery thing, I just started carrying my usb cable in my back pocket and hit up a usb plug when I see one. lol But thanks for the info. Ill keep an eye on that too.

Can you explain the difference? I just figured out on the Fresh camera that if you touch the screen it focuses on that spot. Awesome feature. Wish my real camera did that.

not sure how the stock CM6 kernel is. a few days ago the CM6 nightly was upped to the .34 kernel. the custom ROM's are mostly on the .32 kernel still. i ran Kings on CM and it was 'ok'. the UI was smooth but the battery life reminded me of my previous stock kernels. perhaps as he rolls out more kernels that will be adjusted.
Cyanogen wrote the camera app in CM6. it also has the point touch focus. it has been much improved from the default aosp camera.
c'mon...make ur nandroid and jump in the beautiful cyan colored waters.

All nanded up and flashed and restored most of my apps. Pandora sounds great. Ill test it in the shop but in the hotel its loud! I didn't Know that was a feature.
I liked the look of the dialer until the phone rang. YUK!
Im trying to finish up my Manup them but not sure if the ZIP I already have for the notification bar will work with CM6
The camera work good so far, as long as the pictures take good im OK with that. I hate 3d gallery, always have. its on my list of things to fix.
I downloaded the one in the link. Your on nightlys right? do they seem stable enough for you? whats the best way to try those out? The github link is kinda over my head.

Cant forget having the ability to zoom while recording video. That's one of the big pluses of CM.

Well I found that the stock notification bar zip that I had on file won't work. I got the little blue android of death. After a quick reflash of cm6 all is well. still need that manup theme.

i'm on the 9/15 nightly. i think it was the 'swipe away items from the notification bar' feature or maybe a camera update that got me to flash up from the CM6final.
running it with -snap 7.6bfs kernel
currently, the CM6nightlys have slowed down so you just kinda keep an eye on the thread for nifty new features or updates...other than that, it's been very very stable for me since well before CM6final was released.

[ROM][AOSP 2.1][19-10-11] VanillaEclair 6.2 "Older can be better!!"

6.2 is now released!!! Thanks to Lirasina!!!
Well since I got drawn to a rom that got bumped that was like from the stone age and everyone one was like, Man this is awesome it is so fast blabla
I decided to give it a go and when I ran it I was thinking like, Man this is awesome it is so fast...
So then there I was. Sitting on my confy chair thinking later on. Man this is crap... It is outdated and meh...
Then I decided to update stuff change some stuff make it more well... ME.
Like I did on Speedmachine V4 from Elelinux I did the same with this ROM but this time I changed some more. To make it more now. And not so 2010...
Ok now that useless story is said.. If you read it your lifeless but still.
Now to the ROM part but fist...
I am in no way responsible for broken phones, bad working phones, or some other stuff that may is some unlikelihood may happen during installation of this ROM.
In short I am not responsible for stuff that can not happen if you flash this. And stuff that may happen.
BTW I am no developer in anyway. I am good in breaking roms and somehow get them fixed again... Got no idea what the code does I leave that to the guru's
This rom is based of VanillaEclair 4.0 made by RaduG so credits to him for that.
The version is Sense themed with a DPI off 140.
The DPI is the screen density. The lower the numer the smaller the stuff is on the screen so you can have more on the screen then 160. 160 is Hero native.
I did not make the theme so I am not going to take credit for it. I used the Speedmachine V5 theme files. So credits to Elelinux for those.
Ok to the stuff I added or changed (updated)
Code:
Clicker.apk (For HTC_IME)
Gallery3D.apk (Cuss it is so fancy)
HTC_IME.apk (I hate LatinIME, but because I love you all I did not remove it)
LauncherPro.apk (Still the best one for me)
[COLOR="Red"]Maps.apk [/COLOR](Version 5.5.0, as an option to download)
Superuser.apk (Updated to the latest + Binaries)
Vending.apk (Updated to the one from Elelinux 2.1 Reloaded)
Lightscript: The folowing apps will be removed by this script. Run this right after the ROM flash! MultiUpload
Code:
Development.apk (I don't use it)
Email.apk (I don't use it)
GenieWidget.apk (I use BW)
LiveWallpaperPicker.apk (Runs crap on the Hero anyway)
Music.apk (Use an alternative better one from the market)
SoundRecorder.apk (I don't use it)
Stk.apk (Useless with KPN anyway)
Talk.apk (Noone I know uses it)
VoiceDialer.apk (Don't use it)
Ok that was all the APPS.
Now to some other stuff.
-This rom now supports multitouch, in maps atleast.
-Changed the OpenGL to 2.0 so Vector maps (3D Maps) may work, Don't shoot me if it doesnt.
-GPS Conf is set to Europe. Mostly Holland cuss I live there. If you want to change it, look in this topic and download the correct one for your place. Credits to AngelDeath for those files.
-Added some sounds. Well some allarms and 1 notification ringtone. Both set to default.
-Changed boot animation to one I love, Credits to ZduneX25 for that one.
-Changed on 2 version the DPI to 140. Thanks to RaduG who gave me that idea a long time ago with some rom. Tastysomething..
-I killed myself to get the Sensethemed one to look good. Till I saw this topic from Ohsaka. That made my day so credits to him for that tool.
-Also for the themed version I used the UOT Kitchen so credit to all those guys who made it.
-Well like noted updated apps and stuff.
Bugs
-Well one. Gallery3D acts a little weird on first startup. Just wait that out and it runs fine after. Just do some other stuff.
-No reboot menu. I was planning to do that. But when I saw the guide on that I was like. Ehm nah. to long and not in the mood to do so. If someone managed to do it. And want me to make an update.zip (well want me to try) I will and put it up as an option.
-With LVX 0.6.2 there may be USB mounting problems. Switch to Fly to fix that.
-LVX may have the bad habit to have crappier battery life then Fly13. My experience is that Fly13 is more stable. And less power using.
-Camerazoom aint working.
That is all I think. Prob forgot a lot but who cared. Everyone jumps down to the download link anyway and then download it. And go like. Music.apk is missing from my ROM.. Why is that??
Instalation!!
-Install the rom you want
-Download FlyKernel 13 from this topic, or Fly11C cuss Don loves it. Credits to Erasmux for all his work on that.
-You can also use Las Venturax from this topic. Again thanks to Erasmux and Riemer for that.
-Install Flykernel 13 or LV right after you installed the ROM, Which the updater script commands you to anyway. (Well it commands you to use Fly)
-Flash lightscript if you like.
-Boot into the ROM.
-Flash options or themes if you like to do so.
-Enjoy!!
So to the download links.

-Wazeunfix for 6.2: MultiUpload Revers EGL to the old one.
I did not downgrade EGL to 1.0. (old file) Then you will have the rotary bug. I will release a patch wich will have the EGL file for 1.0 so then people can use waze.
Keep in mind that the Wazefix will put back the rotation bug in most apps even in waze!!
The reason why I did not include FlyKernel. Simple actually. I was lazy and well I always flash it after a rom flash with the speeds preset in the update script for my phone. So get used to that.

Yea it looks fine and I made it look nice with the sense theme to and the stock version has a different color one. To make it look nice with that theme.
I uploaded a screen so you can see it

@rdejager, thanks for putting in all this work to make the old look new!

cool! by the way, I take full responsibility for planting the seed that VE4 is fastest available.
I was chatting with saj offline and told him to try it with fly 11c (which is the fastest of the older kernels, much more of a useful kernel imho than fly 12 which breaks some touch capability in some games).
he was like, yea, great kernel! amazing! so fast! but he was using it on a 2.1 sense rom, not ve4.
I was like, you GOTTA try ve4. most responsive rom ever, and even better with this kernel dude.
and he was like, ok, I gotta revive that thread since you're all over that rom.
and so we went on there and tried to get ppl seeing how amazing it is.
Soooo, I'm happy that the guy who saw our posts was you since you're the coolest theming customizing hero-dedicated rom modifier I know!
congrats on the cool "new" old rom!
and don't forget ppl. ve4 is super fast because it doesn't have a lot of extra stuff in it, like all of the bigger later CM features
Credit specially also to the original developer of VE4 RaduG who worked bloody hard on the rom to get it running this well way back in the old days (>1 year ago LoL).
Suggestions:
Maybe 3d gallery should go though? I hate it, one of the best htings about VE4 is that it uses the previous 2d gallery which was WAY faster and everybody liked better than the crappy photo-missing slow 3d gallery that is synonymous with android these days. there was so much backlash against 3d gallery when it came out and radug decided to keep in the 2d gallery because it's more reliable (doesn't skip photos like 3d gallery STILL does even these days), and is just way faster and lighter.
Also remember this is a 2.1 vanilla-early cm rom (back when cm was nearly vanilla at least). So maybe you should leave IN that voice dialer thing since voice control wasn't as integrated into 2.1 aosp android as it was in later firmware. However I haven't tried alternatives to the voice dialer from VE4 yet in this rom to know if it will still do voice dialing in other ways. I DO know that bluetooth doesnt' support voice dailing in this rom, at least not in ve4 so prob not in this rom, but I talk loudly when driving and using the non-bluetooth voice dialer to make calls still. So it's a useful addition to keep in this rom maybe.
but aside from those possible suggestions imho, I'm blown away and will be trying your new rom right away!
congrats!
Don
edit: and yes, I read and know that I Can add those apks back in if I want to. I'm suggesting them be in by default if they are actually better solutions for everybody when wanting a fast light rom like this one. cheers!

Like I said you can all smash it in there your self if you like. I hate it and for me the 3D one is as fast as the 2D one in loading stuff. Except the first startup. And since my language is dutch and the voice dialer thinks is mongolian or something I call the whitehouse then I say bel Mandy. That is why I removed it.

last time I said "bel Mandy" was....
wait, huh?

I agree, 3d gallery was/is a P.O.S.
Have you ever tried Quickpic? (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result) It is free and very fast.

awww, you're such a sweetie
thanks for that one
by the way, vlingo is a great free speech recognition tool for this rom, free on market, aside from not supporting bluetooth it gives the best results in ve4.
flashing this now...
by the way, +1 on quickpic. 2d gallery and quickpic are both fast, I think 2d gallery is faster when viewing pics full screen and tapping previous/next buttons, but quickpic keeps subfolder organization in the UI And is faster at remembering and displaying all of the thumbnails. quickpic is definitely a solid option for aftermarket installs if anyone wants to play with it.
cheers

like I said in the ve4 thread, ve4 with fly 11c is so fast that it feels like an iphone, but better cuz we have dedicated hw buttons for menu etc (the lack of which is the biggest design mistake in iphone/ios imho). oh, and we have full multitasking... which is actually useful in this rom due to how light it all is.
cool about the 6 kernel on it! I'll have to try that next!

wat? wat? Wat?! wat heb je schrijft?

You got it connected to your PC? Cuss it goes on like that if you got USB Connection and USB Debugging.
And it is 200 KM and 120 miles or so. Your Topo was not so good I think?

Thanks guys. I ended up getting an iPhone for about a year. It was a great phone but boring due to having no customization. This is my 2nd day with the Galaxy Nexus and I love it. Android has really come a long way since I last used it.

Hi Geo411m,
Thanks for your effort, just like to confirm that is it a CWM flashable zip?
Thanks~!!

Well, I ran into a few issues at first. It didn't have any APNs, but I reset APNS to default then restarted the phone and all is well now.
So far so good, no real issues now that it's up and running. Thanks!
And yes, it's flashable via CWM.

thanks kitinas.

damn, I'm forced to login/create account with 4shared now? bah..
nevertheless, thanks for sharing

Did you wipe caches after install? This rom was created using the system image directly from google and therefore should work exactly as OTA. Not sure why the apn weren't there on first use.

I wasn't aware of the 4shared issue. I haven't done anything with android for about a year and don't know of other hosting.

Stock or AOKP
Receiving my brand new NEXUS tomorrow. Need to make a decision whether to go with stock ROM vs AOKP.
My history has been HyperDroid CM7 on an HD2 so i am on completely new ground. Can any and all give me your top 10 reasons to go either way?...........

In my opinion I feel stock (with a few tweaks) offers more stability. I've seen too many AOSP give lots of FC/crashes and I rather have a working phone then have it crash while outdoors and you have to wait to get home to fix it.

My experience in Stock tells me, you can only be with stock for so long...
...till you get frustrated enough to
first - atleast change the Kernel (go for franco kernel, one of the best out there). that makes things a bit snappier, has much more tweaks under the hood for battery life, wifi et al
Then, second, figure out how many more features are available in ROMs out there instead of stock. Once you find that - it is very difficult to stick to stock. Try APEX which is a very generic rom and keeps best features of most of the ROMs out there.
So basically, take it easy, and enjoy the ride ... (or enjoy the bumps first then figure out a way to sail smooth!)
You wont like the smooth sailing of a beautiful rom and a kernel out there, till you've had it rough enough on stock. I just used the rom in this thread, and my phone went down by atleast 30% in terms of performance.
Its much more sluggish, feels heavier, and a bit jerky through the menus. Even when I have almost no apps installed!
I was much better on a 4.0.3 bigxie Apex rom (extremely stable) and franco kernel - extremely fast! blazing.
Stock cant even hold a candle infront of this combination, and I'm talking about 4.0.4!!

GPS lock on this stock image is a 1000 times better than CM9. wtf??

I've always had 5-10 second lock on CM9; seems like mileage varies for some people for some reason or another.

I just updated the ROM with a much more optimized system. Let me know how it compares to AOSP.

May I know what did you do to optimize the system? Deodex is to make it slower so I'm wondering what are other tweaks you included that make it different than say ARHD 3.0.

I don't know what's in ARHD to compare. I made lots of changes to the build.prop for increased performance and made changes to the system to make android take advantage of the Nexuses GPU for better performance.
