Slim ROMs: Worth to try? - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

I've heard about slim ROMs on these threads and I wonder which one is worth a try? It sounds great to flash a ROM smaller than 80 MB.

Which version of Android would you like on your device? If you want slim Gingerbread (probably the best battery life and least bugs of all) try the slim Gingerbread in the second link. Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean are so similiar, so I would choose whichever one is smaller. Read through both threads first and try them all!

AOKP Milestone 6 VS Liquidsmooth V1.5

Hey guys. I'll be flashing a new rom soon, and I wanted to get your opinions on which of these roms to flash. I've been using Liquidsmooth V1.4 but with Jelly Bean I'm considering flashing a new rom.
I tried AOKP when it was still ICS and I decided to switch to Liquidsmooth because it has all the same features that I use and the rom file is smaller so the battery life it better. I don't see the correlation but the battery life was definitively better. Battery life is one of my main concerns so it will be one of the main deciding factors for my rom of choice. Please help me make my decision, and only comment if you have actually used both roms in one of their more recent forms.
Also, please include your kernel, and other info you feel is important enough to include. Thanks

Rom size and battery life have no correlation.

The correct answer is SlimICS / SlimBean.

[Q] Best 4.x ROM for everyday usage

Hello everybody,
I have HTC DHD and I was very sad whne HTC decided not to release ICS for it.
I am running 2.3.3 cooked by user Seraphic which means stock ROM with these modification applied
This rom has the following applied to it:
* Rooted
* Zipaligned
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically I want stock ROM but rooted.
Overall I am very happy with stock but there is 1 thing that I miss from ICS release and that is Gtalk for multiple account at the same time, which is not available in Gingerbread.
I don't want experimental unstable builds that have a lot of features not working
Can you suggest me a ICS ROM that has almost everything working that worked in stock ROMs please?
Ideally something looking stock with the stability and features of stock ICS and root access.
Thank you for your suggestions in advance

I don't use GTALK for multiple account, but virtuous infinity is the best rom i have ever had ... and, trust me, I try a lot of ROMS
Try it and enjoy!

+1 for that if you like sense
For Sense 3.6, I'd recommend Blackout and for Sense 4, try Sabsa Prime. Virtuous Infinity is great as well but I find it laggy for me although I haven't tried it yet with the new kernel. I've tried most of the ICS roms currently available and find Ice Cold Sandwich works the best for me. Its really a matter of personal preference.
thanks for your answers
do most features work in those suggested roms? (e.g. Camera and Camcorder, ... ?)
Each ROM has their own set of unique bugs. For example, Blackout has a known Hotspot problem which may or may not have been fixed. I don't have a data plan and just use WIFI as its readily available where I am located so the Hotspot is not an issue for me. Sabsa Prime 6.5 should have the Camera/Camcorder fixed from previous versions. If not search the thread for an earlier version camera fix. Just don't ask for it as it is a touchy subject.
If you plan to try Virtuous Infinity, install V1.33.0 Alpha 3 first and then install the OTA updater to get to V1.35.0 Beta 1. I found most features worked better (i.e adding certain widgets to the home screen) for me using this method rather than installing V1.35.0 Beta 1 by itself.
Ics: I would go with ice cold sandwich (lord clokan)
Jelly bean: jellytime r 15 (randomblade).
Ice cold sandwich its an AOKP - Rom, which means that it has allot more options.
Sent from my Desire HD
i have triend many sense and other roms. all sense roms are slower as compared to aokp ones.
ice cold sandwich 8.7 is best .
BUT camera works better in sense roms.
blackout ics is the one i will prefer if i want perfect camera result nd ice cold sandwich if i am not to keen about the result of the camera

[Q] Jelly Bean Rom for everyday use

The title of thread says it all. What JB based rom is best for now, for everyday usage, if any? I'm using seb's AIO 6.1.1. and I'm very satisfied, but now I would like to try something newer. Than you.
Jelly Bean and Everyday Use doesn't come in pair, for now.
Unless you're fine with glitchy camera, broken camcorder, not working flash, 3G/GPS issues, not working USB tethering / wifi hotspot.
Obviously it doesn't have Butter either, which is main JB improvement.

vijendrahs's miui jelly bean rom seems very stable. the only issue I have faced, you should activate the a2sd script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850436
I think you should try and decide for yourself. Many of the JB roms seem to be based on Nikez roms. Nikez has got a matrix of what is working and not working in his web site.
I used Nikez for some time. I liked it. It has got its plus and minus. I loved the soft keys(my keys have started acting up). GB does not have soft keys. But I missed the status bar toggles especially the 2G/3G. I had to switch because for some reason I could not restore nandroids. It doesnt seem to happen to everybody. And of course the constant wiping, installing and setting up tired me out finally.
i use paranoid Android hybrid 2.20, modified a little by myself with int4ext, smooth and stable.camera preview kind of work. customMTD repart system 220mb ,so i have more data.

if ur using INT2EXT then internal memory (data) shouldnt be a problem

I've been using Nikez' JB ROM ever since P7 release and its my daily ROM now. Its still in Pre-Alpha release but it is stable! Give it a shot

I use since yesterday [ROM/4.1.2] [Oct 19 2012] CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v1.0. This Rom ist fantastic:good:. There are some little Bugs but this is 1.0.
Update should come...
How about for the CDMA version of the Desire? Any recommendations?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
I like very much the JB:CM10:HYBRID, which is based on evervolv with CM10 settings and paranoid android mode.
I find it as stable as Nikez (it is based on the same code anyway) and it is updated every few days.
Any new suggestion now?

For daily work I'm using PARANOIDANDROID v3.10b2
very stable, no soft reboots for me :laugh:
I use the slim Rom 1.0. This is indeed Android 4.1.2 but this Rom is stable so far. My Problem is the Softreboot after deinstalling app (not always).
This has many features. I love this :fingers-crossed:

Fully agree with that recommendation.
Furthermore I would gladly refer VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v6.0 Stock/Sense/Data++ to be worth y try :good:
- Permanent solution for Soft Reboots (No more temporary solution)
- Improved Hardware Acceleration
RSK Xperience 4.2.2 smooth + nice themes

Are there differences in terms of speed between the two rom ?

newer AOKP port for DHD/Inspire??

has anyone or can anyone port a newer version of AOKP for the DHD/Inspire? like milestone 1 or whichever one is newest? I personally only like aokp and not too fond of the aosp or aospx. I flashed Pacman rom but had too many problems with it.
so if anyone can port one it would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks a lot

You mean AOKP Android 4.2? We've just got an AOSP based 4.2 ROM, so I'd just be paitent for a AOKP based follow up. If not, maybe you can suggest it to synergy or RandomBlame? I believe RandomBlame already has a 4.2 ROM, but it's in its baby stages as of yet.
no a JB version 4.1 im back to running aokp release 7 from the github. but hasnt been a new one since like September.

RandomBlame is on Release 30 now, look for JellyTime in the Development forum
I don't know about 4.2 AOKP, but if it's options you want you could try cfX 4.2.
I tried aosp ROMS and cfx 4.1 but I don't like them as much as AOKP for some reason. Although I have not tried cfx 4.2 yet. Was waiting for Bluetooth to work. Also I've tried jellytime aosp and I always come back to aokp. I ran Icecoldsandwich for the longest time but I want to stay on JB and not ICS. If I actually had the time (kids,work,wife) I would try porting a newer aokp over to dhd/inspire myself but I never have time. Even dropping a deuce is apparently a "team sport" according to my kids. LOL.
bump?
cfX bluetooth works now, if that is what's still preventing you from using it.

The reason is very obvious one
AOSP - clean unbranded stock android
AOKP - unbranded android with cleanly built in to settings menu additional features like CPU OC, status bar tweaks etc.... with everything else as close as possible to AOSP.

Thank God. if I knew how to Port and had the time I would have done it myself. but major thanks go to PipelinerArd for the ROM.

[Q] Vanilla Android

I'm looking to root/rom my OneX shortly. I normally try out loads of different roms and settle on the one I have installed when I get bored of faffing around anymore, but this time I would like to just go for the one/two that i'm after.
Would like the most stable rom that closely resembles the Nexus 4 / JB 4.2. Are the roms there yet? or are they still missing features or buggy?
Which rom would best match what im after?

I guess you could flash ARHD and then use ROM Cleaner to get rid of Sense.
Check the threads out

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052610
This is what you want
ROM cleaner does not get rid of sense at all. Sense is not only launcher or lockscreen, it's the whole framework. To remove it you need to flash AOSP ROM.
Also, OP wanted Android 4.2.
The closest to absolutely stock Android you'll get is pabx's AOSP ROM. It is like it's pulled straight from n4 with no extra mods or tweaks.
