If you go to the sticky thread at the top of this forum, the root faq / guides one, there is a link to all the Roms there in an xda thread.

There are lots of guides and faqs there. This thread will be an invaluable resource for you

Sense / insertcoin 1.0.8 stable cm7

pagdodd · Jun 15, 2011

ahh, sorry. Found it!

I went for CM7 in the end

Redux 1.2 at the moment.

Been using AOSP ROMS consistently for the best part of 5 months now. Fast UI, good battery,stable, nice clean look.

Redux has even better battery, pretty much all the features of CM7 etc and is without a doubt the most stable ROM I've ever used (custom wise).

Any drawbacks, in your experience?

The default style of the notification power widget is a bit "yeuk"

There are a couple of CM features I miss when I use Redux - CM dialler options and the way a long press on the notification power widget buttons takes you to the corresponding settings menu. But that's about it that I can think of. I'll certainly be giving 1.3 a spin when it comes out.

That's all right then. Only the styling of the notification power widget affects me in any way.

I'll give it a go next and maybe(in light of my recent scare) I'll work up the courage to do a custom boot table with it. I like the idea of freeing up enough memory to dispense with the ext3 partition all together.

LeeDroid GB (Data++ flavour) - stable, fast(er compared to stock anyway), and i like some sense bits

If you use the UOT kitchen, you can change the power notification widgets there. Then when you download the framework, decompile it with apk manager and go to:

Res\layout\power_widget_button

Change from:

Code:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/power_widget_button" android:background="@drawable/stat_power_bg" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true"

To:

Code:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/power_widget_button" android:background="#ff000000" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true"

Then recompile and you'll have a nice, jet black widget background.

Well, I actually rooted my stock 2.2 with Unrevoked a couple of months ago, but finally yesterday got round to flashing a new ROM. After a fair bit of consideration and comparison, I went with LeeDroid v2.5 (A2SD+) (mainly 'cos I like Sense!) and so far I'm loving it. (I said to the Mrs last night though, "I tell you what, the battery life isn't as good with this ROM, it's really gone down" to which she replied "I'm not surprised, you haven't left the phone alone for the last 2 hours!" :eek:

)

And literally just now, as I was in the mood, I've S-Off'd it too (or whatever the proper expression is!) with Alpharev, so the world's my oyster/lobster/mollusc of choice.

Oh, I have to admit, give it a week or two and I'll be wanting to try another Rom, but for now, I'm a happy flasher.

DC E1G · Jun 18, 2011

Running InsertCoin Nightly v49 for A2SD. Though I'm likely to change to the CM7 boot table version once I have the time to go through that.

williamj1 · Jun 18, 2011

The only drawbacks of Redux for me (coming from CM7) is the lack of the CM7 music app mod and the DSP Manager app.

Other than that, very stable, superb battery and speedy.

I personally really like the notification widget power control thingy. The icons are much bigger, more like those found on the SGS2 which I find much handier, quicker and easier to press. Don't mind the look either. Better than the CM7 equivalent IMO.

(Sorry for the delay)

CM7 has a better looking battery percentage icon in the notification bar than Redux.

Again I disagree.

I like the look of the stock battery. The Redux % one is just the same as stock, but with a % in it.

CM7 has that silly number / bar thing.

Hadron · Jun 18, 2011

Tricky - it took me a long time to get used to the CM version, and I don't like the little bar, but the numbers are readable. That the problem with the default Redux battery for me: the numbers seem cramped and have low contrast against the green. So for redux I tend to use the themed rom just because the battery is readable, or else UOT it.

just goes to show, it's all personal preference.

CdTDroiD · Jun 19, 2011

I'm on oxygen 2.1.4 now. Awesum... I've got 56% left after 14 hours 34 mins nearly 3 hours screen time, been thrashing it. Fast too.

Is it ok if I ask some Redux questions here?

I've left my dalvik cache on the internal memory but I'm running low on space now. To resolve this is it better to move the dalvik cache to sd or should I flash a custom hboot table instead?

a) Is it true that apps open more slowy if dalvik is on sd as opposed to internal memory? Is the difference noticeable?

b) What are recommended sizes for the hboot table?

edit: Actually, maybe I should lay off the custom mtd. The FAQ does say 'Advanced users only' which I am definitely not.

SUroot · Jun 21, 2011

a) never noticed much of a difference to be honest

b) I dont use hboot tables as they all waste a little space. I cant remember what a full fat version of rdux flashes in at. Look in quick system info and find the table that allows system to fit. I think it fits in oxygen but cant remember

Easiest solution seems to me to move Dalvik to SD card. I have it there and I don't notice any slow performance.

Sak01 · Jun 21, 2011

^^^That was easy as pie.

I actually meant to say custom mtd not custom hboot up there. Got confused with terminology. Nevertheless I'm not advanced enough for changing the mtd layout so I'll leave that.

91.27mb. I think that's with a few mb of the UOT theme. Fits in oxygen then. Redux contains the 06 mountdl script to circumvent the small oxygen cache, right?
