Regarding Custom ROMS

Hi there
Firstly.. No, this is not a typical noobie thread asking for the best custom ROM out there, as I know it's related to personal preference. My problem is that I have a download limit, so I can not test out every ROM I'd like to.
A solution to this problem would be if you guys could recommend a few of the fastest ROMs for me, in your experiences (I'm not so interested in eye candy, more usability.. and most importantly I want it AS SMOOOOOTH AS POSSIBLE, I love smoooothness ) After a few ROMs are recommended I'll have a better picture of what to check out and what to download and I won't be wasting toomuch of my download limit.
Thanks in advance

Why do you have a download limit? What is your limit?

I live in South Africa where not everyone has unlimited internet.. My download limit is 5gb a month (but thats for my whole family...) , but I'm pretty close to blowing it :-/

C'mon, can't anyone help me out here?

I think you should start a new thread (search first) entitled "Fastest Custom ROM?" That will get a discussion started, and people who are interested in the subject will see the title and post their opinions.

I'll try that.. I wanted to avoid that though, 'cause I didn't want this to be those typical "What is the best custom ROM?" threads, and recieve the typical reply of "There is no best custom ROM"

Just sort the forum by the ROM w/ the most posts or views. If you go with those they will most likely be the most tested, have more user support/solution, and they have gone through a couple different versions.

Yes, but the specific question is which is the FASTEST ROM.

I tried a couple roms and decided I hated 6.5, so I cannot say for sure...but I can point you in a direction to check threads...
Energy, Cell, Josh, and DeepShining have all had very positive responses, and speed is something commonly mentioned among the pluses.
I hope this helps. Perhaps reading those particular threads can help you decide before wasting bandwidth.

In other words it is literally impossible to tell. The fastest ROM will be a today screen or titanium with no mods, it really boils down to what you want your phone to do though. I personally like eye candy and stability, you can see what I've chosen below for those. Don't get me wrong, it is still pretty fast, just not as fast as a bone stock ROM would be. I'd be willing to download, burn, and send a DVD full of ROMs, let me know.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I've reached my download limit lol.. I'm posting this from my phone's internet.
WOW! That DVD would be TRULY awesome, and I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it. How can we go about doing this kind sir?

I have tested out LOADS of ROMs.
But I always go back to one in particular,
Touch X "SENSE 2.0B X-TREME"
Now unfortunately this ROM has been dis-continued.
But 2.0 is still available for download:

For speed its great. If I have no today plugin running when i soft reset, there's only 36% memory usage.
Manilla reaps the memory a bit, having around 50% memory usage after soft reset.
Which is why I use other today plugins like 'iphone today' and 'throttlelauncher'
Over all its the the best (in my personal opinion mind)
And its not littered with unnecessary apps

Can the Desire do 5.76mbps HSUPA?

I noticed that according to Qualcomm's press release
http://www.qualcomm.com/news/releas...first-chipset-solutions-break-gigahertz-barri
Snapdragon processor does 5.76mbps HSUPA by default.
The Desire is only set to Catagory 5 HSUPA which is 2mbps.
Can 5.76mbps be enabled???
I noticed in /system/build.prop you can change the HSDPA/HSUPA catagory settings

Samsung Galaxy S doesn't have Snapdragon, it has Hummingbird.

Just for information; made some tests with speedtest app on a cpl of servers, max download speed I could see was 4,6 mbit/s (my location Gothenburg/Swe, test server Aarhus/Denmark) and upload speed was appr 1 mbit/s, that was the highest speeds i hv reached by far. Hv no any clue abt technical details in terms of hsdpa, hsupa or whatever hw configuration built in my phone (Desire, network: 3 Sweden)

The Desire is only 2MB HSUPA capable. Honestly, that's massive uplink for a phone.

Sorry but my diamond1 and my old touch pro both have 7.2Mbit HSDPA, as does the desire. So 2Mbit is not that massive ever since 2006, yeah I had a TyTN too

We are talking about UPLOAD (7.2Mbit is download).

for starters the galaxy s has a hummingbird processor, thats an omap chip not an arm cpu like the snapdragon and 5 or 2 mbps unless you was sat directly under an empty cell tower that you had all to yourself you wont get anything ike that so it dosent matter lol

sorry my bad, lost my lenses
anyway is there a network with 5 mbit uplink, I'll be switching
I tought omap is texas instruments and they manufacture and modify arm cpu architecture, is that right?

I have 6.2Mbit DL and up-to 1.3Mbit upload here

Whoops... to clarify... I incorrectly mentioned the Galaxy S...
What I meant to say was, according to Qualcomm's own press release (see my revised post above)
"The QSD8250 supports HSPA data rates of up to 7.2 Mbps on the downlink and 5.76 on the uplink, with full backward compatibility"

OMAP is an ARM CPU, too. ARM is the underlying architecture.

Both the hummingbird and the Snapdragon are ARM7 instruction set processors.
If anything, the Hummingbird is an ARM CPU, and the Snapdragon is not, because the Hummingbird is based on the ARM Cortex A8 CPU core which is an ARM7 processor, and the Snapdragon is a custom implementation of the ARM7 instruction set - it i not based on the Cortex A8 core, but does use the same instruction set.

Buy SGS4 now or wait for S5 in April??

I've been researching the two devices but could still use advice. Here's what I've come up with so far:
SGS4
5.4 x 2.7 x 0.30 inches
4.6 ounces
Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)
up to 15.5 hours talk time
up to 18 days standby time
13MP Camera with 1080p HD Recording
2GB RAM, 16GB ROM
Sync methods: Bluetooth, WiFi, USB, NFC
4G Capable
Wi-Fi Calling
Audio and Multimedia
T-Mobile TV
GPS and Apps
GPS enabled
International
UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS/HSPA+: AWS Band IV / 2100 / 1900 / 850;Band II (1900);Quad Band GSM;LTE
Hearing Aid Compatibility
M3
Size and Weight
5.59 x 2.85 x 0.32 inches
5.11 ounces
Android 4.4.2 (Kit Kat)
2.5GHz Quad core application processor
16 MP Camera
2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 128GB Expandable Memory Slot
Sync methods: Bluetooth, WiFi, USB,LTE

International
UMTS: Band V (850);UMTS/HSPA+: AWS Band IV / 2100 / 1900 / 850;Band II (1900);Quad Band GSM;LTE
Looks like the big differences are the processor (is it same just overclocked or new hardware?), the camera (+ 3MP), heartrate sensor.
Does the S4 also have the expandable memory slot and dual wifi/4g data transfer? I want a phone I can root but I don't want to invest in something that will be quickly outdated...
