Root What ROM are you using?

[MathewS81]

I just rooted on Wednesday and am using SkyRaider 2.5.2. The only issue I've had so far was that the official Swype app said that the version of Swype on my phone was for another devise and the swype function didn't work. It only worked as a normal touch keyboard. I also got an email from Google saying "Your new Nexus One phone has many cool and useful features." So I found another version of swype over at XDA, uninstalled the old version and installed the new one. Everything's good so far.

+1 for Skyraider 2.5.2. The more I see vanilla the more I dont like sense.

Do any of the ROMs other than CM6 RC-3 use the cooliris gallery? I want to try some other ROMs but that gallery is just so full of win.

Jdfroyo v2.0

Jdfroyo v2.0

lol wow

 

[Homan13PSU]

Switched over to the 8/1 OTA; it is most definitely slower than the original OTA. I was running in the low to mid 1200's with the first, now I'm running at a shade above 1100 with Sense, and just about 1000 with LauncherPro.

Skyraider 2.52 Sense
Kernel = what came with Sky
2.15 radio

Got Swype to work, but the one problem is the "Low on space" error has already appeared, so NOT fixed in 2.2. Crazy and lame.

Jdfroyo v2.0

Well, YEAH. What else would you be running? LOL

 

[jdkoreclipse]

I go between jdfroyo (now rc3) and cm6

[ACD168]

I can't decide. running stock 2.2RUU rooted, and cm6

 

[jbdan]

I'm new to all this just rooted yesterday with virtuous 2.3 stock kernel 2.15 rad. Looking to add kingx kernel and a theme now!

Does anyone have experience with both FrankenROM and Virtuous? I currently have FrankenROM Beta 2 with no issues, but wonder if there is a benefit to going to the Virtuous rom since it is the stock OTA.

 

[jdkoreclipse]

None that i see....but you may want to update to frank b6....
Virtuous is nice, but you are running a good rom, and i see no bebefit loooking back instead of forward

i am currently running virtous rom with stock kernel. love it. i put kingskernel on but my inc started to freeze and get really sluggish. flashed stock kernel back and now it runs great. i'm still new to root and flashing so could be something i missed with kingskernel that started the sluggishness, don't know. haven't had much time to research today. anyway, virtous is really nice.

King kernels take a little while (a couple of reboots) to reach their full potential....they are my kernels of choice....and the kernels i will include in my roms from now on

ok. good to know. i'll have to give it another shot.

 

[rpfarrah]

Running Virtuous, Day 2. Seeing lags that really bug me so tried BFS 1 today. Lag.

Installed BFS 2 tonight; we'll see.

So far I'm pretty disappointed in the ROMS created from the OTA.

the lag your seeing is because by default the scaling is conservative. If you want change it to ondemand in setCpu

You have to be kidding me. Sorry but this comment is nothing short of outright fallacy. He just made it up. Please do not take any technical advice from jdkoreclipse.

There is no state preserved from the perspective of the kernel between reboots. Any self-optimization the kernel does at runtime is lost at reboot. If it were preserving state, it would need to have access to a block device for itself which it does not.

Mods, I ask you please, stop this guy from spreading misinformation like this which he is just making up.

Nothing wrong with stating his opinion, right or wrong. I don't see it as something that can be truly detrimental.

this is MY EXPERIENCES WITH KING KERNELS!!!!!!! My phone would go into a bit of shock after overclocking to 1.2 ghz, and i would have to battery pull, reboot like 2-3 times, and my phone would be up and running and good to go...not all hardware is the same...king kernels may be clean on the first reboot for YOU, that doesnt mean that they are clean at first for ME!!!!! SOme phones cant handle 1.15 ghz...hell, when the newer cm6 nightlies came out, some phones couldnt handle the 1.113 ghz kernel.....NOT ALL PHONES ARE THE SAME.......

Guys, keep it nice!

Experiences vary, preferences vary.


Ultimately it is up to each user to read and read and find what THEY find to be the most beneficial information.


Now, that being said, please stop arguing. Discussions and disagreements are always welcome, but it all comes down to the way it is worded.

 

[Weazol]

is there like a link mods can click that takes them straight to arguements.

you guys are quick
