[Q] AOKP vs. CM vs. MIUI

Can anybody please compare the three (and possibly other) popular custom ROMs? Thanks!

I think every roms are great and smooth, for example Bionic 2, Kezra VP 1.1, Black Note Hybrid 2nd gen, Bagux project, Kedai, FAW rom, and CM9, AOKP, MIUI V4...

Hmm. If youre referring those 3 as roms, which you probably see in development section, id say nothing much. Miui and aokp are both ported from CM9 which means those 3 are on ICS. The difference though will most likely be seen on how it was modded, themes, tweaked etc.
As alidsd mentioned regarding AOKP, cm9+more customization=AOKP.
Well this is as far as I know. Correct me if im wrong.

You can find in there what is rom and kernel. In choosing kernels, it depends on you, as they say, its a trial and error process. As for me, im using DXLM3, its works perfectly for me. Runs smooth, I havent experienced any lag. But then again, it will depend on you. Try them out and experienced for your self. As for rom, I heared the newly release cm9 alpha 4 is bit buggy and unstable, but im pretty sure it will be fixed soon. But if you really want to experience cm9 go for cm9 aplha 3. Aokp and miui as i mentioned are ported from cm9 but with different mods, and more stable atm.

ok i read the definitions thanx so much..
so i need both Kernel and ROM ^_^
so you are using DXLM3 Kernel what is its benefits based from your exp.?
they say
XXLM8 Kernel (good for games)
Cow Kernel (good battery life span)
DXLM3 Kernel (what benefits?) ^_^
what ROM are you using right now?
MIUI & aokp was ported from CM9 alfa 3 or 4?
based from your trial and error which worked better and no bugs
MIUI, AOKP or Alfa3? i still cant do trial and error coz im still reading how to do it and some of the steps i really dont understand doing.. ^_^

but be careful, you cannot use GB kernels on ICS ROMs and you cannot use ICS kernels on GB ROMs because GB and ICS has different ramdisk, drivers, etc...
as far as i know, kernels that available for GT-I8150 are:
- stock GB kernels (XXLM8, DXLM3, etc)
- CWG GB kernels (OC and non-OC version)
- arco's ICS kernel
usually if you download ROMs here, they also have the kernel included, so you don't have to flash the kernel separately... except if you want to some experiment, you could flash different kernel after flashing the ROM... for example, after you're finished flashing XXLM8 stock GB ROM, you want to experiment with CWG kernel, so you should flash the CWG kernel only after finished flashing the XXLM8 ROM...

Yes you need both kernel and rom. But dont worry about it, if you flash rom, its likely that the developer already updated the kernel of the rom you are going to flash. But of course if you dont feel like it, there is called flashing of kernel on your desired rom. But the problem is, not all kernels are compatible to different roms. So take time to read updates. As for my kernel dxlm3, for me, its fast, smooth, no lags, also good for games though im not avid gamer. Its a stock kernel so its stable and i havent encountered any issues at all.
I havent tried cm9 yet coz I needed the camera. But I did try miui released by alidsd, but the camera as well is not yet fully working so I have to switch back to my stock rom. And the latest released aokp by alidsd is the one Im going to test later on, havent tried it yet coz im busy.
Of course there will be bugs on newly released roms like cm9, miui and aokp since they are still on the process of development. :beer:

[For Starters]Best Rom...Custom or Stock...?

Hello guys...as every galaxy w owner wants best possible rom for his/her phone...people try switching between different ROMS and dont figure it out as some roms drain battery...some give fc's at while performing operations...so for those users (mostly noobs) ...best possible soultion is a stock rom...now mostly people say stock ROM is very much laggy...i had the same experience with my stock ROM...but now there is a new ROM Launched for Galaxy W XXLM8 Europe....this is very good as compared to other roms as it also brings some ICS features like Face Unlock...and is much smooth as compared to previous ROMS...
Following Link would help you with that...
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654643
And for those who wanna use custom Rom...Rebel Rom is a good option....and Cyanogen mod is also about to get its fifth update...so till it's fifth update...You can either use Rebel Rom or there are more that might get ur day good...!
As this is a guide for new users...so if anybody wants to ask any questions about his phone such as Rooting,CWM Recovery or Flashing Via Recovery or Odin....i am always there to help....Thanks

[Q] best bug-free ROM..?

hi..
still on rooted stock GB R800i with locked BL... having plans on flashing CFWs...
i just wanna ask if what is the best ROM / Kernel combination..? preferably bug-free.., light and with the least compatibility issues known...
thanks..
additional question...
what ROM should i go for..? GB or ICS based...? what are the pros and cons..?

I'm currently using NXT by Krisdee. It's smooth and fast, and I haven't encountered any bugs yet. The pros of GB are that they are generally more stable, and support more games (EA stopped supporting ICS or something). I personally like using ICS. It has some nice features, like the data traffic monitor, and I prefer the overall look of ICS. But if you want gaming (though touchpads do work on ICS I think), battery life, and generally a more stable rom, go for GB.

you mean to say that all things are working on the NXT ROM..? i mean wi-fi, camera and others..? i've read some ROM reviews and users reported bug stating that their cam is not working or is unable to tether..

There is a solution to fix "cannot connect to camera" error. Go to settings > quick panel settings > widget buttons, untick LED flashlight, and done. As for tether, it works for me, maybe they did something wrong during the installation. As long as you follow the instructions, you'll have a bug free and stable rom without problems.

If you're a hardocore gamer , i'd recommend sticking to any GB rom , as you'll have a better lag-free gaming experience
for a good GB Rom i'd recommend either NXT 1.3 by Krisdee , or DiXperia 2 by Dikej
I myself prefer ICS for the extra features and better UI , and bear in mind that i don't use my phone for gaming as much as i did before so i don't know how much you'll compromise your gaming experience by using ICS
examples for good ICS Roms : Stock ICS by MarkPhyton "doesn't have any bugs AFAIK" , and the one i'm using now is ICS Pureness ported by Sechko , i prefer it for the better theming and less bloat to deal with
a good non-stock ICS rom is AOKP rom and MIUI By ComicDan , i had no issues dealing with both of them , but i just preferred Stock based Roms

NXT Rom 1.3 is the best rom available now, lucky u don't have to unlock bootloader and change kernel to have it.
Only one bug: when recharge the phone while it"s off, the phone turns itself on. Just this one

I don't think that's a bug. Every rom does that, and it gives you the advantage that you would still be able to turn on your phone if your power button broke.

hi i tried miui rom devoloped by cosmicdan. now its removed due to the bugs. i want to go for the ICS pureness by sechko. but the fact is i cant flash a kernel with CWM. only the kernel image is loading and nothing more. i tried "lupus ics beta and doomkernell" what should i do? do i need to go to the stock kernel again? can you tell me how to get into the pureness....

Lol, you need to flash it on your pc.

You don't flash kernels via CWM, it's done via your pc, you can search the forums on how to flash a kernel
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

surely
surely
SURELY " MIUI Australia " is the #1 => made by " Dan " magical man
after that , markphyton's official rom
after that , sechko's ICS and miui
in the end trueancesor

If you really want a bug free rom why dont you stick with stock. Who can make a better rom other than the manufacturer?

Hello everyone, I just moved from Motorola atrix to this incredible device,rooted it and unlocked the boot loader and now I need a good ROM.I tried the BuglessBeast and now i'm on AOKP .
Can someone suggest me a good ROM for it's performance and stability (stock look if it's possible) and a good kernel for it? I'm not asking for "the best ROM", I would just like some suggestions from you.

is there a 4.2 rom that i can overclock and undervolt my phone?
i have the verizon nexus and installed the pure android 4.2 rom. it runs great. but i cant overclock it and one of my friends has a aokp rom i believe that is still 4.1 but he can overclock it to like 1.6 or so. i would love to know if there is a clean stock-ish rom that doesnt have any fancy launcher or anything that i could overclock to beat him but still have 4.2. any help is great but if there isnt one its no prob.

If all your research tells you that the rom controls oc, then it's not for you, stay away from it for now.

You can use stock 4.2 ,just flash a custom kernel which is what actually allows the over clocking. Franco kernel is good. Then download a CPU control app from the play store.

The pacman ROM is pretty decent, you should go with a 4.1.X ROM because Google did an ehh job with 4.2 test away though, some ROMs are much different than they look

Isn't the pacman ROM in alpha stage?? That means it's not stable :-/

Minco ROM. Pure AOSP with franco kernel. Im also new to GN but I like this one quite much
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I'm running CodenameAndroids 3.6 rom, and I haven't found one I like better yet. Tons of customization options. Love the navigation bar options and options to add and change swipe up shortcuts. I'm running Franco's kernel too, but haven't tried oc'ing. Not much of a gamer, so I don't feel the need.

What kind of franco's kernel? I mean experimental or stable? Any kind of oc?(cpu and gpu)

I'm running Milestone 6 stable. I'm pretty sure u can OC but to what IDK.

Now im using BuglessBeast and franco's stable kernel...i don't know if i'm crazy but some games are still laggy:-/ like Dungeon Hunter 3. What's the probleeem ?!?

I am in a similar position and didn't want to start another thread.
I am getting a used GNex tonight...
My start point is a Nexus S with CM10 nightlies and the Marmite kernel. Having Used CM7, CM9 and CM10 on 2 different devices, my temptation is to go for CM10 again. I am not a heavy user and don't play games on a phone, but the most important think to me is battery life (with smoothness a close second of course)..
Can someone please recommend me a battery saving kernel with CM10?
Or another good ROM / kernel combo?
TIA.
Sorry - I realise that I just killed a panda

Can anybody tell me if faux's kernels are OK?
