[Q] CyanogenMod 7 or LeeDroid 3.03(when it releases)

I've been with CM7 from the start but don't know whether to stick with it now that leedroid has come up with his 3.0.X rom with Gingerbread.
I'd like your opinion of which would be better.
i.e. Pros and Cons.
Pros
:I like the look of stock GB, is there a theme for this on leedroid 3?
Fast, 1100 on average quad.
Very customize-able.e.g. performance, display, interface settings.
Cons:
low internal space, because of no A2SD++
idk anything alse.
So please convince me to go over to leedroid or stick with CM7

I'm on CM 7 and I like it.
There are some possibilities to get more space for apps. The easy one is to use GingerVillain as this ROM is based on CM 7 and has A2SD+ support. The other way is to s-off your phone and flash CM 7 hboot. The you will have over 300 MB for your apps on internal memory.

Where can i find CM7 Hboot!
Thx

CM7 has A2SD+. Look in Kali's thread for the rom. As for pros and cons, I've seen a lot of people with GV and they are having issues, a fair amount of issues. Currently, from my experience anyway, I've had no issues at all from CM7.
I have had CM7 for a while because I customer keep going back to it. I usually try a rom when it gets updated massively but I still end up going back to it.
Personally it is a stable rom, the most stable AOSP rom out there. I can't say anything about GV. I tried it once and I didn't like what they did to it bit this was last year.

I agree CM7 is an awesome and very stable ROM, but since using it for a while, i feel like it is a bit too stock, so imight try out leedroid, but hate the hassle of restoring apps and settings.

I used GV before switching to CM 7 and personally I had no issues with it.
@johno168: From the "look & feel" point of view its really stock, but if you get used to the cm extensions (like quiet hours, different lockscreens, ...) you won't want to live without it imho.

Yeah, thats why i love CM so much it's esaily customizable and so stable at the same time. Maybe i'll stick to CM, but do you know of any "sense themes" like the whole sense look and stuff but on CM? or Maybe even a gingerbread theme for leedroid/sense?
thx for the help!

I'm afraid you won't get the whole sense look with all widgets
Launcher Pro PLUS has some similar widgets for Friends, Facebook, Twitter, Contacts and even GMail. I use Pure Messenger too which can be skinned sense like.

Does it really have to be a froyo rom? If you can stick with gingerbread, you can use oxygen or devnull. These roms are from the same developer, who also programmed opendesire (adamg):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971904 (oxygen)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968504 (devnull)
Otherwise try defrost, it will also be really well on battery life.

I have been using Oxygen 2.1.4 but find it quite slow and laggy, especially when scrolling in the apps drawer. I tried installing Go launcher to see if it is any smoother but it still lagged so thats why I was looking for a really smooth rom that is fast and lag free and as froyo is official and has been for ages I thought there must be a 100% (or as close to) custom rom developed and that's the one I am looking for at the moment. Cheers for your help though mate. I'll give defrost a go.

I think that all roms lag at least a little in the app drawer. My ROM lags, I have two stock Desires here too which lag less, but do nevertheless.
Does the op look for an aosp or Sense rom?
Sense - AuraxTSense 8.4 was the best rom overall performance and battery wise.
Aosp - I liked python's rom the most, but it is no longer developed.

if you are after i very stable and smooth froyo rom i would recommend Cool Froyo DATA++ by coolexe

[Q] Which ROM for battery and no lag

Hi,
I have bought a second hand HTC desire and i would like to install a ROM.
After reading this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293989&page=16
And this list of roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
and 4-5 roms specs i am not sure which ROM to use.
I would like something that ensure estability, no lag, no FC and the best battery life.
I do not really care if it is pretty or not.
I have been reading also that increase the internal memory with the SD card is important, but i am not sure how much.
Which one do you recommend?
Thank you for your help.

My advice to you, is to flash a few ROMs and see which you personally like. Generally speaking, you can see from the amount of posts & page views a thread has as to how popular the ROM is, and obviously a popular ROM is popular for a reason.
There are a lot of different ROMs, AOSP, Sense 3.0, Sense 3.5 and now even ICS ROMs. Decide which you like the look of best and give them a trail run. There are no best and worst ROMs, some seem to work fine on one device and can be troublesome on another, it's the nature of the beast. Flash a few and see which is most comfortable for you.
I have been a user of MIUI-XJ for quite some time now. One gig is usually the recommended partition size for an SD card for any ROM, be it AOSP or Sense. I've used MIUI on a daily basis for a good 8 months or more now and it suits me down to the ground.

You are right, the problem is that the Desire is not mine, it is my girlfriend´s.
So, i need to choose one and pray that she likes it.
I think i am going to Revolution 3.0. Looks like is something will do what i need.
Another thing, i have seen that there is Data++ and A2SD+
Which one is better?
I have an 8Gb SD card, but it is class 2. Not sure if i will need a better one.
Thanks for your help

I use data ++, it will just dump all apps onto an EXT Partition you'll never need to worry about space, or moving apps etc.
Swyped from my HTC Desire using xda premium

As for the card, I use a class six 8gb, class two might not be ideal, but then again, my wife can't tell the difference between a class two and a class ten, so it might not matter so much!
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

Well, the card will be this one, thats for sure.
Now to find one ROM and to choose between Data++ and A2SD+.
Thanks!

Happy flashing. ^^

Data++ or A2SD+?

I am just looooving the new Aurora, version 5. It's a biiit laggy sometimes, but it is a gooood ROM overall.
I used LeeDroid before, hated it every minute of my life.

hi, i tried the three rom "classic", cyanogen, miui and sense.... for lag cyanogen is the best, but for battery life i prefer miui for sense i test this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961 in this moment XD

Oxygen rom by adamG.

yep, oxygen is best for stability, battery and everything just works. It looks simple but a 3rd party launcher can soon sort that out. A2sd is built in and you can download a dalvik cache to SD zip to flash to gain more internal space.
With this zip flashed and cm7r2 hboot i have around 25 apps installed and around 250mb free space. You'll need an ext3 or ext4 partition on your SD card before flashing.
Miui is nice but you'll get lags after a few weeks that piss you off. Oxygen all the way.

I can highly recommend rootSU's dGB with ManU-Kernel (1.4). Never had better smoothness and battery life.
Sent from dGB with Transparent XDA App

I'm using latest CM7 nightly 262 version over one month and it stable as it is original ROM. Lag can happen but it's only when some other app is causing the problem. Sometimes some apps just don't die and chew up CPU and that's when lag can happen. So I recommend "OS monitor" app that monitor your phone and evil apps. It's like "top" program on linux/unix. So if there's no evil apps there is no lag. For battery to go far as it could, you should *always* have mobile data switched off. If I don't use mobile data, just calls and some music. It can run for 48 hours without recharge.

+1 Oxygen rom. or if you want a bit of colour for it Mildwild.

Quite liking Alex v's mod of the pvteam runnydroid Rom. Nice battery life for a sense 3.5 Rom and fast (very) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427706

try MildWild....it's plain simple but the speed rocks.
no need to flash any other stuffs aside from the ROM itself....unless of course you would want further customization...
Do not forget to partition your SD up to Ext4....I'm not sure if there's be an issue with a Class2 SD but if ever, just buy at least Class 4 or 6.

Actually I found it even if is still in Alpha its stable and smoother than the GB custom ROMs and alot of the problems in the past like poor battery life isn't there in its current build.

From my view, stable is when i could hand over my phone to someone who is not experienced with phones and tech in general, so i would have a good feeling.
Thats not the case with CM9 atm - White Screen Bug, Bluetooth partially working, Camera sometimes crashes, battery life - all problems that may be irrelevant to experienced users, but we should keep a neutral definition to the word "stable".
Currently it is Alpha, and i guess that is what a manufacturer would also call it, if it would be an official ROM.
Besides this terminology, arco has really done great work with CM9, and he is pushing development further with good common sense i think.

Personally i use MUTANT ROM, good battery life, rather smooth and stable. If you prefer a GB ROM, i would recommend this.
BTW, how is the ICS ROM going? Is the battery life still unstable? The last time i use ParanoidAndroid, the battery was like... 30% drop in 5hours of standby... GOSH...

i) After executing the SuperCharger V6 script, I may not receive the incoming messages, but I guess I may have to play with the setting a bit, anyway I seldom run that script, so it don't really affect me a lot
ii) If I open too much pages in the Opera Mobile, it may freeze for a few minutes, but I think it may be the Opera Mobile's problem

How about Mutant ROM, any issues inside it?

Any reason to go JB or ICS?

Hello,
I am a long time CM7 user. Since there is no official CM9 or CM10 comming out for the Desire, I was wondering whether there is any real reason to dive into ICS or JB waters.
From what I could find, ICS should have USB host in the kernel and JB a faster UI. Now how does this translate to our device? Is there a real performance benefit or are these roms coming out just for sake of having the latest android?
note: I am running everything from SD with S2E on CM7 as there is not nearly enough internal memory in the Desire for me, so performance penalty here on GB as well...

Yeah, well... The only reason why I'm looking forward for ics and jb is sense 4 Other than that, I guess that gb is the best for our device.

Camera has been fixed about a month back or more (though preview with stock camera is still glitched), we are talking about camcorder.
Also can you specify what exactly is better than CM7?
For example, CM7 gives you about twice more free RAM on boot than ICS/JB. (and ICS/JB is supposed to be multitasking, go figure lol)

He means just from the phone booting up it uses more RAM than GB. Not including apps you launch

First one that comes to my mind, blinking/flashing Youtube videos. (issue exists for about half year already in ICS/JB)
Broken camcorder you mentioned (15 fps recording) wasn't fixed for about a year already (since first ICS builds)
Non working flash (and the JB compatibility doesn't matter, it has been confirmed working on other devices with workaround), dont want to go into details it just doesnt work in Desire JB ROM's.
Want more? JB/ICS is much larger in size, which means YOU HAVE TO use ext partition for a2sd solution, while on GB ROM's internal memory can be enough with custom hboot. (just dont tell me there is no speed difference between internal / sd :laugh
And since Qualcomm/HTC will NEVER release libs/source for all the drivers, there will be never fully working HWA/Butter.

About RAM: You obviously aren't into Linux/Android that much, but used RAM actually isn't a bad thing.

Yeah, especially when you run out of RAM entire framework/launcher restarting, maybe not a bad thing but utterly annoying. (it never happens on GB ROM's.)
Just to show what's the difference, upon booting JB ROM you'll have about 150-160Mb free RAM, on GB (cm7, mildwild w/e) it's about 290-300Mb free RAM - go figure.
So yeah, i think i'm fine with Android/Linux knowledge.

Until you'll run out of RAM, which happens quite often @ JB.
