CM7 - is better, but battery no so long
Cyanogen mod is the best with no doubt
And for the battery you can install a battery saving app

Looking for recommendations - Roms& other tweaks
Hi, I hope the OP doesn't mind that I borrow this thread a bit, as this is the exact question I wanted to ask.
tl:dr version:
I am really interested in _opinions_ and _details_ wrt different ROMs (mods or stock) - "xxx is best" isn't a very useful answer to a total noob like me.
So, yesterday I bought this lovely piece of hardware. It came unlocked (of course) and with this ROM (there's a thread about it here):
-System version: Moto_Version.34.177.5.Retail.en.ND
-Firmware: 2.2.2
-Baseband: EPU93_U00.59.1
-Kernel: [email protected] #1
-Build: Jorem_U3_2.4.2_177-5
So far I am rather pleasantly surprised with the lack of bloat. But it did seem rather sluggish when I had installed several apps and played around for a few hours - and the list of running process was horrible.
And I have a feeling I will want Gingerbread in short order (my familiarity with Android is confined to a POS chinese Froyo mini-tablet (had to flash the ROM to even get it to work, then I managed to lose the microSD within it... Haven't taken it apart yet) and looking at my husband's new Samsung G2S - he made me solemnly swear not to root, flash or do anything interesting to it before he even let me touch it).
Or will I?
What I want is
- As much control of the hardware as I can get
(re-assigning buttons (like that to me nearly useless search button), easy ways to turn stuff off and on, customisable quick access to all kinds of interestisting stuff that I hardly even know about yet)
- Minimum of "pretty" UI
- Max battery
- Tweaking off things like wifi and other radio reception, maybe touch-screen too (can one even calibrate capacitative screens? I'm old, and tend to keep my stuff for a long time, so all my previous gadgets have been resistive Palms of various flavours).
And simultaneously I also want:
- As little hassle as I can get away with (ie stable core system which won't need frequent updates).
- Best possible customisation of calendar (and integration with google calendar, of course)
I can't believe it took me so long to finally enter the android world! I can't understand why it took me two years to finally do it. The PalmOS I was in mourning for ("I want my apps from 1995! Why did they break it! I also want wifi! Stupid Palm!") really wasn't worth it.
Nota Bene: I am not a coder or a dev on any platform. I'm a middle aged woman who also happens to be rather fearless when it comes phones. I'm not averse to tweaking a line here and there myself (with instructions or understanding), but generally I get bored pretty quickly with tinkering, and then just want things to work the way I want them to work.
Useless questions in the wrong place (just so I don't give the impression I'm too well behaved - loved the registration video ):
- Where is that "thank you"?! (I've used such on other forums, but I must be blind here. ETA: yes I was.)
- What's the best place (here or elsewhere) to read and ask about a) general android architecture/philosophy/etc (ie what's part of the OS, what can be removed)?
- What's the best place to ask the question "which app would be best for this?"?
- What android-centric forum or subforum would best put up with my wordyness?
I can tell in LiquidArc display eats battery, 3h display is on, battery is down. For other roms i don't know, if someone wants to tell...

actally I see the MIUI ROM too much unstable with Defy. Cyanogen7 is surely better! I love MIUI UI so I hope it goes better asap!
Bye
I've been using CM7 since a couple of months and have been very happy with the stability. (Presently on cm7 rc 1.5) the stock froyo on the other hand was annoyingly unstable and needed frequent reboots to keep it sane.
The battery life is the only grouse - it lasts around 1.5 days with normal usage. On froyo I could easily get upto 2 days.
Cm7s tweaks and customizations make the trade off in battery life worth it, for me.
To each their own I suppose.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
The amount of tweaking and customisation on CM7 is way ahead of any rom I've ever tried and yes I've tried them all literally. You can shuffle every component of the UI and you've got a new phone everyday, hardware performance is as stable as they come, nice amount of useful apps no added garbage.
If you prefer the curved MIUI look there is a theme for that aswell.
CM7 stands in a league of its own IMO. Battery isn't anything above average(lasts me a day of heavy usage on HSPA network) but it isn't a compromise either.

I want to try to determine what is the best rom 2.09 Froyo - based for HTC Desire.
In the last week I've tried a large number of ROMs. I've really liked 2 of these:
- Roufianos V6 (It's the one that I'm using at the moment)
- OpenDesire 3.0.4 (I know that the 3.0.5 is out but I haven't tried it yet)
Obviously there are many other excellent rom but I haven't got the time to try them, such as:
- Alex V1.1 official OTA cooked by Paul from MoDaCo (I've not tried it yet but I thing it is good)
- Lambros Custom Rom r3.1 --- I've tried it: in my opinion it's the best. Very fast, stable, no problem, no crashes. The chef always helps you and give you what you ask him! Fantastic! (link hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745447 )
- Pays-ROM
- Others....
Well, I don't know what is better.... can you help me choosing a ROM please?
If you thing that there are better ROMs instead of the ones that I've written, please tell me about them.
Thanks to all.

IMO this comes down to the "SENSE UI",
you wanna have SENSE and all the HTC bells and whistles? LeeDroid 1.8 or Neophyte NextSense 4.0
you don´t give a damn about SENSE (like me)? OpenDesire 3.0.5 is just AWESOME.
Both options are really good but it´s a question of personal preference I think.

has Leedroid gotten rid of the SD card bug now? i found a lot of bugs with 1.7 in fact i would go as far to say it was the worst rom i have tried (and i have flashed nearly all within the last 2 weeks.
i use neophyte nextsense aswell its v good. i haven't used a non-sense rom since the defrost one which was using the nexus froyo (back in june i think).
however from looking at the 'post your screenshots' thread in the themes and apps section i'm tempted to go back to non-sense as some of the roms and mods make it look really cool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665991&page=106
what does everyone think is the coolest / sexiest looking setup?
Neophyte 1.6. You will not go wrong. If you think those other roms are good, you will ejaculate in your pants with a neo Rom. I think that first neophyte Rom comes down to a fluke of nature. His latest Rom nextsense is good and I enjoy playing. But the occasional bug. Still better than anything else I believe.
I prefer modaco official version.
Neophyte 1.6 as said. You will not find a more stable or better ROM imo.
why don't you give a go on my rom....i saw you haven't mentioned it....
the latest r3.1 version is as stable a rom can be and i have 2 versions.....one if you want all the HTC apps and one with HTC Sense but without the apps, just launcher, widgets and main apps (people,dialer,mail, calendar)

What about the battery? How often do you have to charge the phone? In every rom I've tried the battery sucks!
as for the battery i think you can't compare it just right when you flash the rom....myself i do one full charging cycle and then rate a rom's battery life in order to get the full idea....
flash the rom, charge it till 100% (unplug before discharge) and then see how it does

hi lambrospower. I am just downloading your rom and will give it a try mate. Going back to your battery comment, this is a question that i have been thinking about for some time, but never got around to asking anyone, i hope you may know the answer for me? Since i have had my desire (3 months) the only way that i have ever charged it is with USB. Maybe once i have done a full charge with the 240v adaptor, the rest of the time it is plugged into my PC either charging or as a disk drive, my question is, will that make a difference to my overall battery performance? because i havent been charging it with the mains adaptor will my battery be "weaker" than a person that has always used the in-wall charger? I seem to get really bad battery life with most roms that i have tried (and believe me, i have tried a lot!!) yesterday i went out for a few hours, around 3 hours, battery was at 100% when i left, 3 hours later 55%!! now in my eyes that is a hell of a lot of decrease...... This was with NeYophyTeNexTSense rom (but i cant fault NeYo, he is a good chef, hats off to the lad, this is why i think its me thats either doing something wrong (settings) or it is in fact a battery problem??
Hi guys, I really like OpenDesire, but it's stock Google ROM (or based thereon) so it's got no FM Radio functionality. A question to all users of stock ROMs: how do you guys cope with the absence of an FM Radio knowing that hardware-wise your Desire supports it but the software does not have it? As for me personally, I've been tilting back and forth between OpenDesire-like ROMs and SenseUI-like ROMs, and it's still bugs me. On the one hand, I love the stock ROM for its cleanliness and overall looks (without Sense bells & whistles), but that I don't have the FM radio keeps bugging me like hell. Can anyone share their experiences?
Hi,
if i flash HCDR will i lose any funtions on CM7?
Yes, you will loose USB among other things. Besides, why would you want to install HCDR kernel? It's old, not maintained and not optimized for CM7.
Battery life is a lot better.
Although im thinking of going to 2.2.1 cause CM7 doesnt like my device (lots of force closes and lag even with over clock) Which one would you recommend? I have tested Wildpuzzle but it isnt updated anymore! What about Jokerdroid?
If battery life is so horrible, you must be doing something wrong. I get easily 3-4 days with light usage. In fact, right now I've gone 6 days without recharge, and still has 60% left. But phone has been mostly sleeping during this time as I've been working on another phone.
You get fc's and lag even with overclock? That's kinda obvious, you're overclocking too much. Clock it down a little until it's stable.
Other roms I have no experience with, so I don't know.
The longest I've ever had is 2 days low usage on stock!
I've tried jokerdroid but for me its to customized with theming and stuff. It also overheats loads without overclock! Im gonna experiment with different roms and write some reviews on my website. http://www.andro-tech.tk. (Not so much on it at the moment Cause of holidays and school but I will work hard to add more!)

Got to be one of the silliest questions to ask, as you will get a different answer all the time.
Everyone has their own opinion of what the best rom is.
I wont ask this stupid sort of question here!!! All I do is READ THE FORUMS and then try flashing different rom myself to see what I like.
even if you're right. it's not nice to curse people and call them stupid.
so keep on flashing but start with your mouth first.

Sorry, i already spent hours with reading and flashing but i couldn't find any rom with the simple specs i need.
Please continue read and spend more from your free time on the board and someday maybe you can be able to write something useful.
My opinion
dude, u have 5 or 6 options for this phone
either use a moded version of the gb roms (walter or iaio);this is the best thing u need for panorma as it comes natively with that,battery life same as all (2 days of normal use) but they are the slowest of all
cm7 (xda version or official one); no panorama no 720p just pure speed and awesomeness, battery life is 2 days of normal use (6 hours if u play streamed video)
miui (language specific mods, cmui, wjui); eyecandy but slow imo, battery life 2 days with normal use
stock froyo rom (or bb mods); using patches u can get panorama to work on that, this is best for battery life i got 3 days a few times with normal use
so yah..u decide, i use cm7 as it comes with all the codecs, volume track skipper, no lag in games, and u can customize it as u like as they are tons of themes on this forum or on the market

galnet miui is the fastest of the miui's i've tried for the defy so far, but i cant speak about the battery backup because i removed it in a few hours,
loads of eye candy, maybe something the devs could/will use
it says its running 4.1 but it feels like 2.3.7.
sorry didnt check the camera!
as for walters ms2ginger 2.3.4
its clean, fast and has panorama. the battery life i get is about 12 hours with NO hard usage, i calibrated my battery thrice and removed the battery stat from the boot menu but it didnt seem to help. (any one who can help me, bless your soul)
what i like about it is the blur launcher which is somewhat easier but i thought that was eating up my batery so i used zeam, 13 hours backup, so hmmm maybe i went wrong somewhere!
Argen2Stone is nice, but its blue in the wrong places! :S cant talk about battery back up but since its based on ms2ginger 1 it has the same issues as that with a decent blue theme.
cm7 is fast. its pure speed. well if your looking to use a decent camera app then its not the place you should be, took me a while to get used to it.
doesnt shoot 720p. i didnt check for panorama.
the best battery back up i got till date is on my stock, company flashed froyo 2.2.2 sea 15 JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1 of 4 days with decent call and message usage. and the occasional round of angry birds or fruit ninja.
so, yeah as remuseu said, try try untill you find what you like!
ps:if any one can help me with the battery problem on ms2ginger 2 i would be VERY thankful!
has anyone tried the jboogie???whats it like??screen shots please??
Hello all
I want to talk a little about what rom to use for Gio.
I am interested in using something nice like Giopro or BNC-GIO-ROM-R1 but want a better battery life.
At first the battery stockrom kept me up two days but after using [One package] DXKT4 Firmware (2.3.6) (credits to ricci darmaji) my battery life was considerably extended at least 4 days even if they use the Internet 10-20 minutes a day, and 5-10 minutes of calls per day.
In this we add 1 to 2 hours of games besides the above said.
So my battery life was quite visible but the stockrom bored me, and so much temptation to use customrom change is inevitable, but do not wath should i use to give me a good battery life.
In conclusion I wish a nice custom rom like, Giopro or BNC-GIO-ROM-R1, but with a good battery life.
Who has tried many custom rom and can say to me wath is best..good loking, moves smooth and gives the best battery life please share your knowledge with us.
PS.What upgrades can I use over BNC-GIO-ROM-R1 or Pro to extend battery life like DXKT4 Firmware (2.3.6) (credits to ricci darmaji)? There any upgrade to make them better at extending battery life ?

Hey, thought I'd join in on this one as I would welcome all advice about which ROM to put on my wifes GT-S5660.
Currently on a T-Mobile UK contract, this phone out-of-the-box was a bag of s***, couldn't even send an SMS without turning mobile data off 1st.
Some bugs were fixed by an update over KIES to S5660XXKQG software, but it's still very buggy. Some of the occasional problems include ;
- screen refuses to unlock
- partial screen unresponsiveness
- HOME button takes screenshots when it feels like it (so my wife sits there trying to press buttons on a photo lol )
- END CALL not working
Anyway, what I need is a ROM that does all the basics correctly , so phone, wi fi, camera, SMS, internet and a reasonable battery life would be a bonus. Oh! and she has to use the speakerphone to hear so the proximity sensor needs to work!
Not particularly fond of the Samsung interface but can always use GO Launcher or whatever.
I managed to root & custom my HTC Desire (not bad for a silver surfer pmsl ) and so far I have rooted and removed the simlock on this phone.
I'm still going through the guides regarding CWM and ODIN but I welcome any plain-English advice you guys are willing to offer.
BTW, I'm on a win or brick it solution with this phone as my wife is soooooo fed up.
Thanks all

Hello everybody.
I've rooted and modded the Samsung Galaxy W of my girlfriend but now i'm facing a lot of strange battery issues: the battery drains really fast and she hates it.
I've tried CM9 RC6 and SlimBean but the problem is still here. I've got no time to waste on trying 20 ROMs so i'm asking you a suggestion.
She was really excited about the stock ROM. It was fair enough for her, apart from the bloatware that couldn't be uninstalled and some random reboots and freeze.
So, i'm searching for something like that:
Great battery life
Stable and reliable ROM
Possibly CM based or AOSP
In my opinion, a CyanogenMod 7 would be great, but i can't find it for the SGW.
Could you please help me?
Thank you!

Hello everybody.
I've rooted and modded the Samsung Galaxy W of my girlfriend but now i'm facing a lot of strange battery issues: the battery drains really fast and she hates it.
I've tried CM9 Beta 6 and SlimBean but the problem is still here. I've got no time to waste on trying 20 ROMs so i'm asking you a suggestion.
She was really excited about the stock ROM. It was fair enough for her, apart from the bloatware that couldn't be uninstalled and some random reboots and freeze.
So, i'm searching for something like that:
Great battery life
Stable and reliable ROM
Possibly CM based or AOSP
In my opinion, a CyanogenMod 7 would be great, but i can't find it for the SGW.
Could you please help me?
Thank you!

Slim-3.1.0 Ancora 12/06/12 Unoffical with standard kernel (or with Fofivo as the other user said). Noted!
I'll wait for more suggestions before wiping and flashing again. I wanna be sure this time..

Stock one is awesome and better battery life
And if you want more ram use forfivo but battery life will be less than with stock one
What about those ones?
77ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166571
AOSP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102599
SlimICS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132748
They seems pretty basic too.
I've checked Paranoid Android and Pac-Man too but i think they've got too much stuff that i don't need and she won't use.

My honest advice:
Do not consider anything except Stock ROM with Value Pack or CM9.
Its not that those other coders are not talented. But - it's like with those small, heavily tuned / modified Honda Civics driving around: Their owner / creators and other enthusiasts love them for their custom mods, but you really could/would not give such a car to your girldfirend, mother, or whatever.
sooner or later you run into problems that will never be fixed, nothing for daily usage by a non-IT-person.
With beta 6, i guess you mean RC6?
Battery lasting, the missing fm radio and a sometimes not-100%-stable camera would be the only drawbacks i see for it.
Performance and overall fluidity is at least one class over the stock rom, really remarkable.
Maybe there will be better battery performancee with CM9 in the future, as it is not really clear atm, what causes the impacts.
But i think its unlikely that it will ever reach the Stock ROM under this aspect, as the new features are simply likely to consumer more cpu cycles then before.

CM9 RC6 was actually my first choice, because a friend of mine is using it without any problem. Anyway, i've experienced the huge battery drain even with CM9 RC6.
I can give a try to CM9 RC7 but i'm wondering: wouldn't it be better to choose a ROM with the 2.x kernel?

Yes, i meant RC6, sorry.
Sadly, battery performance is crucial for my girlfriend. Anyway, i just want a "normal" battery drain; what i'm experiencing is a very massive battery drain, totally abnormal.
Would you suggest me a Stock ROM with Value Pack? Maybe it's the better choice...
for me battery drains so fast because of to many apps..just install apps only for daily use..
yeahh i can see some of us back to 2.6..
rc7 impress me..see the ss..with stock battery(old one)..

I think the same but she's just like 20 apps, Pinterest, Instagram, GoogleReader, Dolphin, GMail, and stuff like this.
Regarding your screenshot, 17% left after 10 hours is not so great.
This is her phone now:
Can i install a 2.x kernel on CM9 RC7?
like i told you before..i use my old battery and stock 3.0kernel rc7..my battery usually last no longer than 5-6hrs..
you got 16hrs..that better than mine..
if you want 2.6 kernel i think it is better to install cm9 rc2..

5 - 6 hours? How can you use the phone? You can't even go outside for a dinner that you have to charge your phone.
Do you mean that you actively use the phone for 6 hours or what?

They're pretty old and discontinued but they could be enough for my girlfriend. I'll check them better later.
Thanks!

beside the aosp & cm9..try queen anne's revenge or biohazard..

Queen Anne's Revenge: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161091
BioHazard RoM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927428
They're just customized CyanogenMod, and i've already have problems with CyanogenMod. If i would try CM another time, i would stick to CM9 Unofficial
Even if Queen Anne's Revenge is aimed to best battery life and it's made by an italian (as me ). It's interesting...
I think i'm gonna flash one of those modified stocks! Wish me luck!
At the end of all my tests, i've decided to keep using F.A.W. (Rls 3, from the same branch of Rls 2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626827
It's simply a powered Samsung stock but it's rocking stable, really fast, enough good looking and with a huge battery life!
Perfect for my girlfriend!
