Develop Bugs

Which ASOP Rom?

Hey guys i have been thinking that since i am starting school i realized that i have been spending waaaaay too much time messing with my phone so i was thinking on settling with one rom for a while and no longer flash a new one.
I have used MIUI, CM, sense, and such. I love them all but i think sense is just too slow for me the others i am ok with.
Currently i am torn between ILWT's rom but it is constantly updated and may have a few bugs in it as it is based on CM and i have not used it long enough.
G-Lite looks cool havn't used it yet but i am looking for a rom thats rock solid so i remembered this guy.
MeXDroid mod, have used this one alot and like it.
So i want to know what you guys think is a good long term rom to use? (you can even list one thats very good even if its not one of the three and eevn sense if it runs fast and stable (alot of features is a plus =D)

Oh and battery liife is also really. Immportant. Was in a rush and forgot that...

I use tsubus' ILWT and I have not experienced a single bug. My updates have been flawless and my battery life is superb. I'm also in school and his ROM has been so unproblematic it hasn't disrupted my studying whatsoever.

I understand where you are coming from. You get that crackflasher bug, and start to twitch when there's a delay on your nightly.
I would grab the latest nightly (ILWT has been an excellent ROM), and try it out. Barring any major bugs, just stick with it. I haven't been having any problems with the latest CM7 or ILWT Nightlies, so in my opinion, they make excellent "daily driver" ROMs, with no need to update them all the time.
We are also very close to a CM7.1 final release, so if it makes you feel more comfortable, you can wait for that. Should be announced in the next day or so.

Stability of CM10?

I'm currently looking for a ROM base to modify to my needs. I really like the features available in cm but I'm not sure if cm10 (stock) is stable enough for production use yet. Does anyone have experience with this?

Been using it for about a month now and have no issues what so ever, I recommend the builds by Euroskank as he adds some really useful features.

I threw CM10 on mine and I had some radio issues. I don't know the technical details but the signal wouldn't lock in completely. The signal notification on the top bar would never turn blue no matter how perfect signal was, the wifi wouldn't lock in blue either. Reverted to stock for now.
Other than that it was awesome!

FYI - even though your bars are gray, you still have an active data connection. When they turn blue it means they are connected to googles servers

Sorry for OT - but try JBSourcery instead. :good:

You can also try Paranoid Android which has CM10 as its base and this ROM has been very stable for me. This ROM can be used in stock phone layout, phablet, or tablet modes.

How is your battery life? GPS? Still no bugs?
I'm still running Pete's Bugless Beast and its so perfect but just no mods or customization. I want to be able to customize but I don't know that I want to risk losing my bugless JB...

Has anyone compiled cm10 from source with no customizations other than the camera, NFC, and GPS files? How is that build? I'm going to be modifying it for personal and perhaps submit back.

GPS is perfect. Locks immediately. Battery life is nothing to write home about. I have the official extended battery and with decent use I might get 8hrs if I'm lucky. I'm up for ideas on other JB ROMs for Verizon that have better battery life.
Everything is perfect except for the battery. Almost afraid to flash another ROM because everything on the CM10 preview works for me.

JTFC, that's awful. How does it compare with what you had on ICS? I get decent battery life on JB (CM10), but still slightly lower (10-15%) than on CM9, but 1.5 to 2 days is still possible with my use + 3 hours screen on or so over that time. This holds true for all the JB ROMs I've run. 4-5 hours of screen on time over a workday of hard use is still possible for me, but idle drain seems to be hit/miss, some nights 0.25%/hour, other's 1%. Sync seems to be a more of a battery eater on JB, and I haven't bothered running Google Now since the first day or two I ran JB.
Shall see how today's JRO03L build performs.

Running vicious rom, the cm10, great with Franco kernel and his app. No complaints. Only thing is i can't get play music to download to my phone from the cloud

Unfortunately I don't have anything to compare it to. The GNex was a warranty replacement for my old Thunderbolt. After I got the GNex I immediately rooted and threw the first JB ROM on it I could find. I will keep searching through various threads in the development forum and see what I can come up with.
Oh and thanks for confirming my suspicion that my battery life is below average. The weekend is here. Plenty of time for experimenting

I highly recommend Better Battery Stats if you don't have it already. There's a free XDA version posted on the site, but the Market version is well worth the ~3$ also. Sync and location services (GPS or Google) and Google Now seem to be the biggest offenders on JB. I run sync and location sparingly.
That said, the GN is definitely no battery queen unfortunately :crying:

CM 9 Stable Release

Anyone have any idea when we will see a stable CM 9 for Galaxy SIII (AT&T)? I was flashing CM 10, but too many issues. The latest CM 9 nightly (8/26) seems pretty good...

Also, any idea if TAPP works with the most recent CM 9 nightly?

i am waiting for a stable cm9 too... but they stopped posting nightlies two weeks ago.... they were supposed to post weeklies instead... but they did not post the weeklies for CM9 on (09/02) as supposed.... i am guessing they all focus on CM10 instead of doing a RC/stable CM9 version....
are they giving up on us?

One of the few rules of CM roms is no eta's. Don't ask for them, don't expect them.

Got it, thanks for the info.
BTW, Simply Tapp works great with 8/26. To be honest, I haven't experienced any major bugs on this version. Maybe it is as close to "Stable" as we will get.

I'm starting to seriously doubt that there will ever be a stable CM9 release for this device, which will be a huge disappointment unless CM10 improves a lot.
My hope of being proven wrong springs eternal, though.

There were some issues with the build server this weekend, so it looks like the CM9 weekly got skipped. I'm sure it'll be back next week.

In which areas does CM10 need to improve "a lot"? It's improving by leaps and bounds every day and is pretty darn good considering how long it has been out.

They are still working on flicker/rendering, the call audio still isn't perfect, no CRT off....

Compared to CM9, there are 2 areas in which CM10 is currently a huge step back.
Battery life - The battery life of this device with CM9 is absolutley awesome; the battery is often at 60% or more when I get home from a normal workday. With CM10, it seems to chew through 10-15% per hour, even when it's not being used at all.
ActiveSync - I cannot sync contacts or calendar entries from my employer's Zimbra server with CM10. I believe that this is a Jelly Bean problem, rather than something specific to CM10, but it's still a show-stopper.
The combination of the above problems and the CM9 camera issues have actually driven me to revert to the stock-based Ariel ROM - something I would never have imagined myself doing.

I agree, CM9 battery life was awesome for me, as well, but I'm getting as good as 3-5% per hour from moderate use w/the latest CM10 builds.
And as you mentioned, the activesync problem is not a CM10 issue.

Cm10 /aokp jellybean is pretty stable. And with kt747 kernel, I'm not even undervolted and my battery drops less than 1% per hour. I recommend giving it a try if you haven't in a while, cm10 has come a long way in the past couple of weeks.

cm10 doesn't seem to have working alarm tones for me, so i've gone to a touchwiz based rom until its sorted out

which version of kt747 are you on?

I'm in love with CM9 based AOKP from Task/Ktoonsez.
It's too bad they didn't finish it. It was like 95% done when they stopped developing it and started working full time on CM10 based AOKP.
Freaking stable as hell with exceptional battery life.
This latest 9/5 version of CM10/AOKP is pretty sweet so far though. Lots of big issues were fixed. Still a ways to go but the things that are working are all stable for me so far.

I've been relying on my phone to wake me up for class for the past two weeks, no problems yet. I do miss that progressive volume alarm and nature tones on stock though, very soothing . But the smoothness and amazing battery life are worth it.
Aokp 9/5 with kt747 9/5
I might use my device a little less than average, but I've seen a hell of a lot less bugs on aokp than on stock. (out of the box copy and paste didn't work at all.)

Not introduced by CM10, but definitely a CM10 issue.

CM10 Nightlies or ARHD 12.0?

Im deciding on which one to stick with... I really love the look and feel of cm10 but the battery life issue is the only thing holding me back whereas with arhd i heard it has great battery life although sense ui doesnt really appeal to me a whole lot but i dont mind it. if you were in my shoes, which one would you recommend and perhaps a small reason why? thanks

cant go wrong with cyanogen.

Try not to ask too much of these, it can annoy developers and start arguments over best rom. It's up to you they, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

how are you finding the battery life?

In my experience, Sense ROMs offer much better standby time - the phone barely uses any battery when in deep-sleep. By comparison, using CM10, your battery will be slowly eaten even when sleeping. I'm not saying it makes CM10 unusable - far from it - but if you might get 3 or 4 days standby on Sense you'll be lucky to get 2 with CM10.
As for screen time - yes, Sense is still better... but it's less noticeable here. Perhaps 4 hours in a Sense ROM might be 3 on CM10.
I am currently running CM10 nightly from 22nd October and the 0.7 Bricked kernel. On balance, I prefer the performance boost in CM10 to the better battery life in Sense but you might have different needs.
Hope this helps you make up your mind.

i think CM10 should use another kernel such as NCX or Bricked for save battery

I recently tried IceColdJelly (AOKP) for a day or too. I missed all the tweaks that was offered in ViperX (Just upgraded HBOOT to 1.28), the customizable features were plenty some, and the ROM was indeed very fast. The battery was also decent, though I didn't check it fully.
However, what I missed the most was the Sense UI, especially the dialer and the way it fits all the contacts together, and all the apps can simply open a contact and view it fully. The AOKP dialer was especially uncomfortable (much bigger than Sense's).
I tried installing another dialer but couldn't make it the ultimate default (whenever receiving a call, the original dialer's animation would pop for a second, then switch to my dialer for the rest of the duration).
Since I didn't find the equivalent of this in AOKP, I skipped town after a day or too in favor of ARHD 12.0, and happy ever since.

battery life is great compared to the stock sense rom. Im using the stock kernel at the moment. Its last about twice as long. No bugs so far.
[Cyanogenized HTC 1X]

Yeah I just flashed cm10 today on my phone and I'm going to use it for a week then try out arhd perhaps next week. So far my battery has been dying sortve fast but after a couple of cycles it should get better.

I'm in a similar position, not sure when my carier will release JB, so thinking of taking the plunge and trying CM10. ( as I dont need to upgrade my HBOOT ) for this. Are nightlies stable for daily use incl. camera, wifi etc ? Some people say no issues, others say they have issues. With CM10, how long before a stable is released ?

Many of the issues reported lately had been the result of some kernel commits for a newer mpdecision. SODs mainly. Those changes are now reverted in the latest nightly 27th. I have been using cm10 for the past three months with bricked 0.7 and have never been happier. Has all the tweaks I need with a battery that gets me through all day with 3-4 hours screen time.

How often would you flash the nightlies ? Surely you wouldn't be re-flashing every night ?

I have settled with seadersn edition. There is a separate thread available for it under original android development. It already includes bricked kernel as default.

Seriously considering AOKP or CM - Stable enough?

Hey Guys,
I am considering switching to ICJ or CM for regular daily stable use, I'm not frequent flasher, as in once I flash I expect to run on it for weeks. I noticed that the usual bugs shown for CM and ICJ seem to have stayed pretty much the same, like MHL output, incall volumne and grey images on camera for CM.
This puts me at a little doubt if it is suitable for daily use and how is it for gaming as I do game a lot on travel journeys.
Unless I'm mistaken, ICJ seems to indicate less bugs compared to CM? So yeah I am seriously considering so please let me know what you guys think in terms of daily use + gaming.
Is battery life also an issue? Last I heard CM and ICJ AOKP had battery drain issues?

I was sorta like in the same position as you.
My first flash was ViperX in combination with a AOSP Jellybean theme. And I have been using that for a long time because of the stories of stability about aosp/aokp.
Only recently (2/3weeks) I started using IceColdJelly because of the then base 3.18 WiFi bug on sense.
I couldn't have been more happier with my OneX to be honest, its like a complete upgrade looks(imo) & performance wise
I haven't really noticed any difference with the battery so far between ICJ or ViperX or stock but im a pretty generic user, just whatsapping/messaging and some youtube/internet.
So far I havent seen any bugs so iam really pleased to have switched to ICJ and there arent really any big downsides to it.
Never tried CM so I cant tell you anything about it.

ok sounds promising, have you fired up any games? I use my phones for a lot things message, emails, games, music etc
Just worried about graphics driver issues or any thing like that.

Im using ice cold and I played games on it street fighter 4, modern combat 4 all work really well, I play a lot of games so yes its a really good rom man go for it, I just moved yesterday to it

I am with the same dilemma.
And about camera quality? Dialer and contacs?
That's what I think sense has some advantages.
I am considering Sense rom + rom cleaner + nova launcher.

Sense ROM can make use of the hox image chip where as aosp/aokp can't hence the lower image quality.
I've been using CyanogenMod on my phone for a few days now and the camera isn't much worse but you definitely see it when you use the flash.
I'm currently using MX camera just for the cool effects I have a DSLR camera so I don't use my phone for photographs only a quick snap for Facebook or something.
They rest how ever is totally bug free

@ op you should test for yourself and all that depends on what you need from your device as example when I need mhl I revert to sense and when I really need my camera I do it also but with the recent changes in the camera in cm and Aokp the camera now is way better very near to sense... So aging you should decide for yourself...

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Yep this is a dilemma, I use my camera phone quite a lot and definitely appreciate the extra quality but then again I recently started to use CameraZoom so does that mean it is not utilizing the HOX image chip better? Or is this more low level that any camera app will benefit as long as it is a sense rom?
I'll make a decision after more consideration and reading up on. Additional opinions and comments appreciated.

Try CarbonRom, I've tried CM & ICJ not that there was anything wrong with them but with Carbon you get the best of both customization wise.
Battery life is good, gets me through the day with atleast 4h screen on. And I use it pretty heavily mainly Whatsapp, Twitter, IG, G+ and Flipboard.
Not any noticeable issues so far, no camera problems, I'm not a heavy gamer so cant tell you much there.
.

I tested a few sense roms and CM/AOSP roms. So far I liked the CM based roms the most, I run CM10.1 atm since most of the ported roms don't have the full language support (mixed languages in menus english and german in my case).
