Hmm it was strange that you speak in riddles like this not like you

Can`t find here,only the ROM from "elelinux" but don`t know
the difference!
Would be nice any Devs can fix the bugs and build a stable ROM
from sources!
Because my Desire Z running CM 7.0 RC0 Gingerbread Android 2.3.1
it`s very nice many features,most features working,
and almost without bugs!
Always following this,but maybe will not help for Hero:

On Cronos Gingerbread I have ~60FPS in Neocore. But many grafics are invisible... And Angry Birds still lagging.

The lag on angry birds on hero is down to the advertising plain and simple. I've installed adfree from market and it runs alot faster, in fact on cronos it runs smother than I've ever seen tbh.
However to be fair I haven't yet compared to cm7 as yet, once have given both a fair run of a couple of days, I'll report back.

On my hero this CM is not working... Black screen after boot...

No it really isnt... lol
As i have said on another thread...
Yes the add's make a bit of diff, but they are still fairly unplayable without the add's.
its the fact the game isnt actually made well for our none GPU'd phones.
They are working on a version specifically aimed at out phones, so will have to just be patient.

it's actually mostly due to the huge amount of large graphics being thrown around on the screen in multiple layers. advertising blocking gives a very small improvement on my phone, but the 1.4.2 version of the game with it's working graphics is just unplayable. get version 1.3.5 (search for apk around the web) if you watn to play it on the hero - but the reason THAT version runs half decently is because it's missing a ton of background graphics so the game engine has a much easier time.
and hello again to the optimist who believes they're still working on the hero version of the game . Do you know how long they've been saying that? I think they intended to do it until they actually got into it and realized how tough the job would be for them and have silently given up. I really hope I'm wrong though... I love the game

This is a little offtopic, but a response to previous poster: I just found a demo of Angry Birds LITE on marked - can't remember seing it before so it fuels my hope that active developement on it is en route =)

does it work? and if so is it any better?

Hmm, I'm a little at loss here. I found the app in the gingerbread market, but seems it crashes (both lite and full version). Reverting back to a Froyo ROM the AB Lite cannot be seen. So sorry @ dkelley. Can't test it atm

wow, frustrating! I suppose if someone can get it and install it in GB and then backup the apk onto their sd card, they ought to be able to install the apk on froyo and see if it runs that way. and I suppose that since I suggested it, I should be the one to try and back it up from gb...
damn me and my big mouth LoL

Can some one tell me witch off line navigation can i use for the gingerbread ROM (TESTED NAVIGATIONS) sygic mobile maps does not work on gignerbread. (Google maps is on line navigation i dont want that)

From a thread over at Chronos it seems that what i saw was actually the beta that existed before the full version. I will check this out, but seems it was a false alarm. Have no idea why that old crap would suddenly be visible again

that was prob me at cronos telling you that - if so then never mind, I already added to that post correcting myself that 1.3.5 beta 2 may well be the current "lite" version... we won't know though unless we can get it to actually run.

Tried both elelinux and this CM rom. Elelinux rom was way faster. Also CM claims wifi works, but i cannot get it to really connect to the router, scans and finds networks but cannot connect. Same as elelinux rom.

yup, and long since then elelinux has been codeveloping (maybe a generous term but certainly he's helping immensely) cronos gingerbread with feeyo over at the cronos site. and that one has gps working (but with very weak signal), usb working, wifi working, bluetooth working (including bluetooth audio).

CM7 cons?

I know that CM7 is a great rom, but are there any cons or known bugs in everyday usage?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App

It's stable and has a good battery life, I haven't encountered any bugs and judging by the change log RC1 has everything solved except 720p recording which isn't even a stock feature but an improvement.

I'm curious also, so you're saying every feature that works on stock (minus motoblur) will also work as it should (or better) under CM7 ?
There's nothing like no wi-fi or gps not working or anything at all ?

I use Wifi daily, and have tested GPS briefly - no problems for me. I've actually found Wifi to work better than in my original t-Mobile 2.1 ROM.

for me have one con - the dialer without number t9
always i have to using contacts to make a call..

There are plenty of dialers on the market. I opted for Dialer One, though it's quite an overkill, all the options it has. Ray Dialer is cool as well, a bit lighter and faster. Both have T9 and are free even.

Main bug is flicker when recording video... jumps when playing back as well.
But it's got awesome battery life and speed!

A very good thread!
So far, we always heard about pros on CM7. Now, we can get opposite info in one thread. It's good for developer and user. Long live to CM7!

It's better than the stock roms in every way.
My quadrant on UK stock 2.2 was 900. On CM7 it's 2200
Gallery (4 photos then crash, no picasa albums), facebook (did not sync properly) and unexpected 100% processor usage -> battery drain are other reasons to ditch stock roms and go fo CM7.
The defy is a fantastic phone, once you take the motorola software off it!

i know that, but i spoke one con of CM7... almost others roms have this function and i don't know why haven't on CM7... should be have a option to enable/disable... how knows in future releases... ;D

cm7 is realy great
its best
thx very much Quarx
i hope Quarx make cm7 for atrix too

i recently installed rc1 and the only bug ive noticed is laggy video recording (playback is flawless - not the laggy recorded one - even in hd). and when booting in android, launcherpro force closes, but after a restart it works fine. cm7 is really a superb rom, would never go back motos ****ty sw...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Aside from poor camera and video recording performance, CM7 is better in every way than moto's ROM. I'm sure quarx and co. will fix those bugs real soon.

CM7 is the best ROM running under Android 2.3.4 but it's main problem is the battery consumption (it's just draining two, even three times faster than Froyo) In other every aspect, it's just awesome.

This is why I get twitchy about installing anything.
Person A says ' oh the battery life is awesome'
Person B says 'its got a big battery problem'
Who to believe....

Been using CM7 for more than a month already I think. I started with Beta6. Currently on a nightly earlier than RC1. Only a few things that I noticed that are not so good.
- Camera quality is not as good
- Video camera recording skips frames
It seems like most issues are with the camera. Speed is good with CM7.
I noticed that if battery life is not as good all that is needed is to check that you have the correct baseband set and to reboot the phone if you already have the correct baseband.
I have never had any issues with wifi or 3g so far. GPS I dont really use.
Hope that helps

Caveat emptor: It makes your Defy runs faster and more updated and deny you the opportunity to explain to your spouse the rationale of buying a new phone every 12-month.
Man, isn't that hideous?

Hmm no one else reported any GPS issue, so I guess it's just me. It's not able to find and lock my position. Will have to look into it. Currently on Beta 6

mine battery life is great
if u set network on 2g
use auto task killer
and display time out to 15 sec
and with normal use . battery use about 2.5 - 3 days for mine

The bugs I found are the auto brightness not stable & video recording can't turn on the flash light,others all perfect for me,including battery life(same as Froyo) & GPS locked within 10s under clear sky
*I am using full sbf from the official Froyo 2.2 SEA18,just flash the RC1 & gapps then good to go

CM7 Nightly is perfect for my Defy!

Just my 2C - after trying Barebones 1.55 Peas & Carrots, PaysROM, CM7 RC0 and RC1 and 110625 Nightly, and coming from original Nordic Froyo - my Defy is now perfect.
Video still is not 100% perfect, but I can film in wide-mode without lag now, so that's good enough for me (green lens). Using LG Camera app and 2Mbit decoding seems to do the trick for me...
Other than that - the device performs spotless. Running standard settings in CM7 as overclocking more seems to affect the stability, and it's flying as it is on CPU:1000.
I love this forum and the excellent work you guys put in. This seriously made my phone a device I can make "my own", thanks to all the apps and mods that people in here make.

thx.. was searching for which nightly would b best.

07/27 is perfect for me! no more camera bugs, great battery comsumption...

what a good news. I can't wait to upgrade to this version. Thanks for your post!

I'm using CM7 RC1v2 and my battery life is a bit shy of 2 days. like 44 hours or so.

Hey I got a question, I'm using Cyanogen Mod V7.1 RC1 v1
There is two problems I've encountered, just want to know if its also there in the nightly mod you have.
1. WMA files wont play unless I use Vplayer with software codec.
2. Cannot converge calls and start a conference.
You guys got the same issues with nightly mod or rc1 v2?

can't 720p ~

Just do a little search before posting mate, check the CM7 FAQ thread in the Defy Android Development section.

Defy+ with working Wi-Fi?

Yeah, I've been looking for a working CM version of the Defy+. Or a working ROM to make my phone more usable. Sadly, no such luck.
I've tried 3 CM9 builds (Quarx) and 2 CM7 builds (Quarx and Epsylon3).
The Epsylon one didn't had proper internet via vodafone, let's say.
My Defy+ is one specifically for Vodafone Germany, even if I live in Romania.
I'm really disappoint that I can't find a working build or ROM that would have a working Wi-Fi.
Peace.

Try MSGinger : MS GINGER .
Sadly it isnt CM7,CM9, CM10
So don't expect it to be as speedy. However it is solid, the wifi works (no random disconnect bugs). It is Gingerbread so you do get 2.3.6 Android.
I too am very very disappointed in CM7 in regards to wifi. Id love to use 7.2 as my offcial rom for the phone but i have a very limited 3G plan, and with the current wifi bugs I cant download big games like Riptide GP via wifi. Ive switched to MSGinger 3.0-NG (red lens defy).
Battery life kicks major ass tho.

Guys I just have a simple question (I'm kinda new to these)

Hey guys I have galaxy w (I bought it 10 or 12 days ago).Don't worry i studied my lesson.I know how to root,flash,install apk etc.
I rooted my phone and installed REM ICS.But i'm not happy with it.Because it has a few problems
In the first place, i want to tell you what i'm looking for.
I just want proper sms app (no mms converting), WORKING gps,menu customization [not by date or title (i'm happy with touchwiz)]
Most important -> goot battery life.That's all folks.
But i can't find a rom that meets my wishes.
Now i'll install rebel rom 3.0.6.
But if you have a recommendation PLEASE let me know.
p.s. : I'm sorry if there are grammar mistakes.Thanks in advance. :good:

CyanogenMod Alpha 8 version should be good to you
but you have the SMS to MMS converter on everyrom (i think) & touchwiz
but normally in options you can adapt it
good batterylife & performance
Or BioHazard has it all (based on cyanogenmod)
just flash the ROM + extra sms file (to get normal sms lay-out) - Biohazard customisation - good batterylife & performance (& touchwiz)
has jellybean 3 features & customisation
EhndroiX is a nice rom based on cyanogenmod
but it has it flaws, batterylife isn't perfect but it's a smooth ROM
it also has touchwiz and Jellybean lay-out
Personally i'm running EhnDroix right now but i'm thinking to switch to cyanogenmod (due to the better batterylife) or biohazard
Now about the GPS function you can use Google Maps / Navigation, you can also download Sygic GPS (look on some forums for a "free" version of it )
then you will have a free offline GPS system with TomTom maps navigation
i hope i helped you out a bit

touchwiz is there on EhndroiX (i'm running it..)
and the camera function is available in alpha 8

Ps. Click on thank you button if i helped you

Ive been using SGW for a lot of time now, when i had the stock rom i used ADW laucher for the menu. As for the battery life, keep 3G turned off or install JuiceDefender, it turns on 3g every X minutes, instead of keeping it on all the time. It also adjusts the brightness. My battery would last nearly 3 days that way with moderate calling.
Hugs.

Also i wonder if there is something wrong with my original samsung charger.When i charge my phone with its original charger, battery drains quickly (%85 in 2.2 hours).But when i charge it with my friend's htc's charger it downs to %97 in 2 hours.Just weird.

As I know Rebel ROM is not coming with a TW launcher, you may try Black Notes Last Page if you wish, it came with a TW launcher, just for your info, in Black Notes, you would have to reboot your phone after running the 99SuperCharger init.d script, as it may cause you unable to receive your message, but it wouldn't really affect you if you don't run the script. Hope it helps.

Are you using the USB cable as charger? That one will be much slower than the charger. For a decent battery life, I would recommend you to use a GB ROM with Juice Defender at this moment, because the battery life for CM9 may be vary from version to version at this moment.

I use its original charger (mini USB).I installed rebel rom it seems like it's okay.But i'm not sure yet.

Ok it sucks more i know it now.SMS problems,slow browsers,performance sucks

Looking for good battery life? Most of the GB roms provide good battery life. Not so sure with ICS roms, right now. If you don't mind using GB rom, i would recommend you MUTANT ROM, not bad.

If you are looking for an economical premises ROM battery GB ROM only the best in my opinion.
I myself have come back to GB after I felt in CM9 b8 only for reasons of battery.
I myself use kezra v4 final ROM, kernel xxlm8. And what you need everything works fine here.

Also, try upgrading baseband. Older baseband might have bugs that made it too aggressive and/or not smart enough to tune power usage.
Back in the CM9 thread, someone posted that he experienced a great boost in battery life after upgrading baseband.
Word of caution: make sure that the newer baseband is compatible with your country's networks.
