CM7 vs ICS - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, so i find really nice ics on the kf but im more like a traveller reader and cant count on the battery drain ICS has.. so my question is .. is there any cm7 rom like the 7.2 for the KF? I find disturbing some stuff from modaco ( like keyboard language and the status bar and other stuff).
Also hellfire 's home bar and that seem a little bit horrible and sometimes over the image
Thx in advance

CyanogenMod 7 Self-Kang #1 Alphafied 2.3.7

I just flashed this ROM today... and I'm still playing around with it... but is it missing the Voice software that my stock came with? (Voice instructions... Driving mode... Ect)... I installed the Google files suggested...
Also, I'm not seeing Swipe at all...
Swype isn't there, I just signed up for the Swype Beta and got it back...the keyboard on this version of Swype is actually preferable to stock imo
Awesome!! Thanx so much for the quick reply...
Cm will be missing alot of extras that came with our phone... but extra customization features that didn't..
Personally I like touchwiz and tw framework apps like the camera and mms app so I stick with roms based of stock.. still fast and look great..
That is till miui drops

So what roms are you using? The thing I like most about CM7 is the themeing ease...

Is this your first time using CM? It's the most barebones rom you can get, there won't be any extra software installed like on other roms. It's basically just the core files needed for the phone to operate plus some tweaks & customization options, so you'll have to manually add things like Swype and Driving mode. This is what *I* love about CM though, it's almost like a 'build your own rom' deal.
I'll stick with TW based roms, might try out MIUI. Using the stock android camera, calendar...no thanks. The TW roms are just as fast. I noticed nothing working faster running the CM7 build which is the usual want from everyone at the expense of good looking and more features(not tweaks).
I just flashed CM9 on my Nexus S, it's meh.

thats whats so great about android as opposed to other devices. Not everyone agrees with your opinions so you can have the software you like and I can have the software I like.

Well then welcome to the wonderful, addictive world of Android If you like to customize then stick with CM7. It's pretty safe to assume that development for this phone is gonna be very good. There are a lot of themes on the market, just search "CM7 theme".

If you don't want tw, wait for miui. Theme chooser sucks. Miui destroys everything as far as theme customization goes. You can mix and match parts of different themes.

2.3 roms vs SenseRoms status bar

I have a quastion to ask. Why in the sense roms the statusbar is fast and smooth while in roms such as cm7 based roms the sttatusbar is laggy. From my experience so far i havent found a 2.3 rom with a stable statusbar. Is there any solution for that?

I have cm7 and my statusbar is fast without lag (my wf is overclocked).
Sorry if my english is bad
I think that's because sense roms are 2.2 froyo, which is not as heavy as 2.3 GB. And you know our little willy has a poor processor and no GPU so of course it will be laggier on GB than Froyo

You are on LeWa OS and your status bar is laggy Hm mine isn't too - in fact I have the snappiest status bar ever with LeWa OS.
What have you running in the background? I would first check that as oc'in wouldn't help if your RAM is filled with tons of services...
The SD booster also doesn't heal performance problems (besides you have all apps on SD). It makes the R/W faster and the phone a bit more stable (if proper configured).

Now with Lewa OS i would say that is a bit better but it can not be compared with the status bars of sense roms! For example the status bar of froyo roms and even the KoolSense feel a lot smoother. Now i am overclocked and i think my ram isn't filled with background services. I have only the basics! Can you please tell me your settings you have in performance or in anywhere else related to status bar?

Ive never experienced any statusbar/notification lag on any rom ive used!! Ive seen others post this issue and it's always baffled me as to what they/you mean by lagging. Maybe my phone is just special lol. It could always depend on your launcher? I use adw ex on all roms including sense lol = no lagging ever.

I also use adw ex. I mean it is not smooth as in sense roms...For example if i listen to music on cm7 and then attempt to pull down the statusbar it laaags and it is not stable! Maybe the kernel i don't know!

As far as I know this has been mentioned before: Sense ROMs are on Froyo (if I'm not mistaken), GB is already a lot bigger. Regarding the "basics" - that depends also. Due to the fact that the Wildfire has no GPU, no powerful CPU and is also limited regarding space etc we are talking about a non-high-end device (friendly spoken) but Gingerbread is made for average devices. From my point of view you definitely can't have a satisfying experience without tweaking stuff (beginning with also thinking about basics lol).
Our settings might help you in some way - but they are not a universal solution to trim your phone to your liking. Furthermore the settings are pretty much independant - each and every little factor/setting has an influence to the other. Think, what you need and what you want to achieve, read a lot here in the forums and then you have to do some trial & error. It works that way. Some things working for one Wildfire don't for others.
BTW most of my settings are in my sig

Yes but I dont know where to start to tweak stuff such as basic settings or background apps. I would appreciate if someone could tell me how can i tweak them!

How is android 4.0 status bar smoother than android 2.3 status bar??

Yup,it is mysteriously smoother than GB roms,not only status bar,everything is smoother in ICS.Its just the app launch which is laggy.

So far CM9 seems very stable to me, i use it as a daily driver, but i get tempted to use cm10 one of the reasons being (besides the fact that it runs fast as hell) the cool naigation bar, is there anyway i can get it on cm9??
What if i Flash This ?

That wont work as its not for your phone. Assuming you are on the latest cm9, flash my attachment. I do not have tmobile so i cannot test so do a nandroid first, should work just fine tho
Thanks a bunch, will I be able to change the icons on it?

just wanted to know before flashing

For now i am using Xplaystation GB v2 and.. Looks good,smooth UI,good performance,no bugs for now. But one thing makes me mad - the lock screen. Is there any addon to change lockscreen for looks like JB/ICS?

Same here, no mater what I will always go back to stock GB with tweaks, its the fastest by far all Roms, most battery efficient and honestly it feels more like YOURS as u know what u did to it, and not someone else's tweak/mods to it,
