Develop Bugs

Have been away for awhile, what's the best rom to use right now?

CM7 doesn't look like it's finished enough to attempt. Can't seem to find any ACS builds.

Why ask this? Everyone will just tell you the ROM they are using. ALL ROMs are good. Just read through the top threads in development and pick one.

I built my own. Imo it's the best way to have a rom that has exactly what you want.

What are you looking for? Clean GB has good battery life. Very simple and everything works.

Thunderhawk has been running well for me
via my EPICally transmogrified EI22: adrenaline injected & Supercharged

Here are the top six roms in MY opinion that are the best...
1.)StarskyROM (The one nobody talks about, but offers the BEST performance, in exchange for a couple bugs, that absolutely relate nothing to user-experience-quality. Pretty Stock, balls to the wall speed, not bad battery)
2.) LegendaryRom
3.)ACS ICS (Dont think its being updated anymore, Marcusant created MarcusantRom, listed below, which is basically the same thing as ACS ICS)
4.)SleeperRom (Amazing battery life)
5.)MarcusantRom (Incredibly Stable, Fast, Amazing Looks)
6.).....no need to list beyond this point, its all a matter of personal preference.....

Hmm. Are you going to share that Rom

I too was away for a while..if you want a rom that works the way the phone was designed, frill free, no attemts to push or squeeze the device, and no bonker theeming.....cleangb is your huckleberrry.
I was suprised not to see it in the guy's list above

Nothing changes whether you are away or not, the best ROM is the one that works best on your phone for the way you use your phone.

Now that the new Samurai 3.3.0 is running real well Marcusant's Revival V1 is worth a look if you want something that looks a little less stock.

I have not had very good luck with the latest Samurai kernels. I get horrendous lag. I believe this was even acknowledged by the developer, unless im mistaken and a new release has become available recently.

I had some issues as well, but last night 3.3.0 in 3 flavors came out.
So far I am very pleased, other seem to be as well.

Kenny is right. To paraphrase- "the phone chooses the ROM"
(I've tried them all except Random's, and they're all great. Marcusant's was probably my fave. On CleanGB now with Travis' new Minimalistic Black theme and loving it. Try new Shadow Kernel, its the bomb)

What kind of quadrant score do you get with the shadow kernel on stock settings? I'm running starskrom, flashed the shadow kernel, and now I'm getting 250 less of a score on quadrant. I've gerard some people saying they are getting 3000 or more. That not possible without overclocking right?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

That is correct. You need to OC to get that score. Quadrant is crap and can be easily spoofed. It does just some number crunching and a few video routines. The best judge of performance is how it works and feels for you. If you are hung up on whose benchmark is bigger, stick to smartbench 2010.

Kenny is right- to paraphrase, "quadrant size doesn't matter".
Or whatever. I just judge by eye- am I lagging? Sticking? Randomly rebooting? My current setup has been flawless. But I am a charter member of "Flashaholics Anonymous" and CK23 is getting ready to drop Serenity 1.1.1, so I have a feeling a Nand backup and new flash is coming at me.

3.3 Uploading Now!

I am running acs ics 5.5with the new acs theme. it is pretty flawless. but with that said, for some reason my phone prefers marcusant's rom over the rest. I have tried just about them all and might even try urban precision again now that the mms bugs are supposed to be worked out

Just some advice... You definitely want to be running marcusant revival ROM with the new samurai assassination kernel. You will not be disappointed, trust me. I am getting the best performance I have ever seen possible on the device plus 30 hour of battery life.

EC05 Vs. EL30

Is there an way someone can make a rom fast as SRF 1.2 EC05 but maybe for EL30?

Depends on what your definition of "fast" is doesn't it?
But there are lots of new roms out and kernels overclock to 1.4ghz same as genocide I believe, cm7 is very fast imo,
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

They're all "fast". Try each out and find one that fits your criteria.

well beleieve it or not on 2.2 @ 1.3ghz quadrant score are 2200+
and if you flash srf 1.2 u can actually see the speed in how apps are launched
or even just transitions when holding the screen

El30 roms and cm7 are just as fast if not faster. 4.0 is a bit laggy.

This. Quadrant faking was very popular during the EC05 days. The main reason you get these scores is that kernels from those time have insane EXT4 tweaks to disable not only journaling, but another form of keeping data. They also have other tweaks to make quadrant go crazy. Admittedly, I have included such tweaks in my older ROMs. I was able to achieve a quadrant score of about 5000...
On MIUI (the gingerbread version) I do not get insane faked scores but my apps open instantly and I get no lag at all... SRF is very outdated and can softbrick your phone even if the battery just falls out or you get a random reboot (due to the tweaks).
I remember the transition from froyo to gingerbread. The phone itself seemed a lot faster but the quadrant scores went down until I added the tweaks that boosted it. Seriously, do not use quadrant or any other tool to judge speed.

yea i understand but it does give me a type of standing
usually i go by what actually treats my phone better by test
but quadrant and linpack usually gives me a base of things thats all
and srf yes i kno has bugs but thats y i asked if it could
be maybe transffered to a certain extent maybe just speed wise
well visual speed....

We've all been on SFR and loved it at the time, but there's no reason to stay on froyo. I love ACS, don't get me wrong there.

its cool jus was wondering

Technically, the latest modem should be the same or better as the modem before it, as the code in EC05 is added on, not taken away when you see Delta Updates.

[Q] what ROM has the best benchmarkz

Hi everyone just ported over from the evo 3d. I would of thought the e4gt would have a lot of fast roms with my eco on antutu I bench just alil over 7000+. I thought the e4gt would get over 8000 if not close to 9000. but I can for some reason the best ROM I can find is just alike 7600+ and that's with it clock at 1.6. Can someone point me in the right direction? OP yea one last thing how come every ics ROM I tried has some serious low benchmarks I thought ics was going to be God compared to GB?

Cause ICS are leaks right now and overclocking is not able to be done yet. Remember benchmarks dont mean squat.

My benchmarks were all over too.. on GB, blazer 4.1 with gunslinger oc'd to 1.6g got close to 7300 in antutu, but gets 6600 in quadrant. On ICS, CM9a2 had a quadrant score of 5850 and antutu was about 6300.. (can't OC yet on ICS)

Using the optimization settings you should be able to get a little higher. Getting the voltage right is going to be the trick for sure.

How you have such high bench Marks ? I'm using cm9 alpha 2 also as a daily driver and once i ran a bench Mark my scores were in the 3000
Epic touch phone of xXHELLBoy91Xx

I have pulled down quadrant scores of 4100 easy running blazer 3.8 rom with stock EK02 kernel some reason my phone really like that one. I have since upgraded to 4.1 and EL29 still able to hit between 3600 to 4000. I have manage a 5550 with gunslinger at 1.6 but it was a clean install NOTHING but setcpu was added and quadrant. to be honest after all that bench marking didnt see a bit of feel diffrence only thing I noticed was how bad it hurt my batt life. I have been playing with supercharged v6 script on stock el29 blazer 4.1 for the past few days seems like it did smooth out a few things and didnt kill my battery maybe you could try that see what happens.
BTW wasnt desperado the kernel used with blazer rom that got like a 6000 not 100% on that but I think it was

im not to sure but calkulin rom is better. for some odd reason i couldnt Oc blazers rom but i ran it stock vs calk el29 stock and calk won. though there was another rom that was ics and did beat calks rom but thats when my gpu friend and im gonna try to find it again. it did beat claks stock Non Oc by like 400 points. i know if i could find it again and try messing around with the Oc i could get real close to 8000 benchmark we will see what happens

i think your lucky because everytime i pushed 400 i would only get 10 seconds at best before either it froze or turn my screen green would have to wait till it cooled off to trying messing with it again but thats what i got insurance for

What undervolt apps do you guys use?

Just curious as to what is popular as far as undervolting apps go on the SGS II. Its one of the only things i havnt messed with on this phone. Back on my captivate i had super awesome undervolts with using the "Voltage Control" app. I loved that thing, can it stull be used on the SGS II?
and also if any of you have an awesome UV that works for you, mind posting the settings here?

Haik,
What happen, AT$T throttle you out the door too? lol
If you're looking for battery improvement, try Kobridge tweaks linked under KO in my sig.
There are diff modes for better performance(SF) to better battery(A)
They definitely perfect CM9
Tegrak works well, but I don't undervolt because of the KO tweaks.

Tegrak is the only one we can use right now. I prefer SetCPU though because it's a lot simpler. I hope to return to using that once we get custom kernels after ICS source is out.

That's why all the previous versions are posted there still. Overall, it's still highly debatable if it's working or not. Most say no, one or 2 folks claim it is.
I don't over clock, but I did try it and every cpu app said it wasn't, or it was dropping back. I prefer having a battery that lasts. :laugh:
Agat is awesome tho, I'm sure he'll get to the bottom of the issue and give us a 4.3 soon enough.

Yeah for me using voltage control I didn't have the steps available until I mobile odined the new kernel. I tried 1.3. It worked I just don't like over clocking.
