Is GBX0C still that slow? Your latest rating is nearly a year old now and there have been updates...

I had tried the NAND and Froyo ROMs from Post #1. The install instructions were simple and straightforward for me. The others were a bit complicated to install, so I avoided them.
I find that each of the ROM has some inherent shortcomings - read the posts in the relevant ROM thread.
One common peeve is the relatively short battery life (at most 24 hrs with light usage - phone calls and sms, without using wifi or agps).
Another is the microsd cannot be seen by the PC when connected by USB, so file transfer has to be done using a separate adapter.
After a couple of months of experimenting with Android and doing battery-life tests and "techniques" to extend battery-life, I decided to revert back to WinMo. Mainly because of the much longer (5-6 days of similar light usage) battery-life.
[Off-topic] I find that WM gives me what you asked for: ease of use, stable, good radio/phone (I upgraded my radio ROM to 1.17), and decent media player (TCPMP). I am presently using the 0.71 (Clean) version of this ROM. I had tried the Cookie 2.0 as well as the CHT-Android themes, but I prefer the Clean with Androkkid (freeware) to conserve memory space and have similar usability. My Home screen is attached.
The fact that the developer (HTC0017) is still updating this ROM speaks a lot for the potential longevity of this ROM. Here is the thread.

Hope this helps.

On Cronos Gingerbread I have ~60FPS in Neocore. But many grafics are invisible... And Angry Birds still lagging.
The lag on angry birds on hero is down to the advertising plain and simple. I've installed adfree from market and it runs alot faster, in fact on cronos it runs smother than I've ever seen tbh.
However to be fair I haven't yet compared to cm7 as yet, once have given both a fair run of a couple of days, I'll report back.

No it really isnt... lol
As i have said on another thread...
Yes the add's make a bit of diff, but they are still fairly unplayable without the add's.
its the fact the game isnt actually made well for our none GPU'd phones.
They are working on a version specifically aimed at out phones, so will have to just be patient.

it's actually mostly due to the huge amount of large graphics being thrown around on the screen in multiple layers. advertising blocking gives a very small improvement on my phone, but the 1.4.2 version of the game with it's working graphics is just unplayable. get version 1.3.5 (search for apk around the web) if you watn to play it on the hero - but the reason THAT version runs half decently is because it's missing a ton of background graphics so the game engine has a much easier time.
and hello again to the optimist who believes they're still working on the hero version of the game . Do you know how long they've been saying that? I think they intended to do it until they actually got into it and realized how tough the job would be for them and have silently given up. I really hope I'm wrong though... I love the game
This is a little offtopic, but a response to previous poster: I just found a demo of Angry Birds LITE on marked - can't remember seing it before so it fuels my hope that active developement on it is en route =)

Hmm, I'm a little at loss here. I found the app in the gingerbread market, but seems it crashes (both lite and full version). Reverting back to a Froyo ROM the AB Lite cannot be seen. So sorry @ dkelley. Can't test it atm

wow, frustrating! I suppose if someone can get it and install it in GB and then backup the apk onto their sd card, they ought to be able to install the apk on froyo and see if it runs that way. and I suppose that since I suggested it, I should be the one to try and back it up from gb...
damn me and my big mouth LoL
Can some one tell me witch off line navigation can i use for the gingerbread ROM (TESTED NAVIGATIONS) sygic mobile maps does not work on gignerbread. (Google maps is on line navigation i dont want that)

From a thread over at Chronos it seems that what i saw was actually the beta that existed before the full version. I will check this out, but seems it was a false alarm. Have no idea why that old crap would suddenly be visible again

that was prob me at cronos telling you that - if so then never mind, I already added to that post correcting myself that 1.3.5 beta 2 may well be the current "lite" version... we won't know though unless we can get it to actually run.
Tried both elelinux and this CM rom. Elelinux rom was way faster. Also CM claims wifi works, but i cannot get it to really connect to the router, scans and finds networks but cannot connect. Same as elelinux rom.

yup, and long since then elelinux has been codeveloping (maybe a generous term but certainly he's helping immensely) cronos gingerbread with feeyo over at the cronos site. and that one has gps working (but with very weak signal), usb working, wifi working, bluetooth working (including bluetooth audio).

[ROM] 30/01/11 Cyanogenmod 7.0.0 Beta3 (smoother graphics addons etc from other devs)

Original Thread Here
http://goo.gl/UA7CZ
Please Remember this is Test Beta and will have bugs.. its not a stable Release
Hello,
Here is the beta3 version of the upcoming CM 7.0.0 for HTC Hero GSM based on Gingerbread (android 2.3.2).
Download CM7 Beta3:

Gapps:
gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip from here http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
ADD ONS by other Devs - added at end of post
1. Smoother Graphics Zip by l0st.prophet (NEW)
2. Updated the status bar and other icons, radio buttons, check boxes etc. for CM7
Note
- Before flashing make sure you do a total wipe data/cache wipe (expect if coming from beta1)
- over-clocking at 748 freezes the device for me, 710 is ok using smartass governor

I second what dkelley said. Also I'd like to add that drawables look like triple **** in this version.
wow LoL... from lox's cm website link:
"Note
- Before flashing make sure you do a total wipe data/cache wipe
- overclocking at 748 freezes the device for me, 710 is ok using smartass governor"
well duh
don't try that at home guys - keep it in the 651 or 691 top speed are for most people please or your phone will not like you in the morning.
If I remember correctly lox's phone (well, assuming his girlfriend's phone that he tests this stuff on is his old phone) is one of those freaky 748-safe phones. If that's true then what he's saying here is that it's not able to run at his max clock speed. and if that's true and your own phone can often run stably @ 710, then you might find that you need to run @ 691 or lower with this rom.
that certainly coincides with my experience with cgb and with most froyo roms using the 2.2 JIT engine.
I'd hate to read about a bunch of phone lockups because they followed the OP's cpu speed comments on their own phones.

Progress - indeed. I think he said that this feature was untested but listed it as working - which probably means that it works in other builds so he hoped it would work. Maybe I'm wrong - but I'm sure he'll be happy to read that it works!
This thread is not a general, "air your gripes" thread.
Can we discuss solely the ROM mentioned in the OP, and keep on topic, please folks...
3D gallery is missing. Is there a way to add it?
Good work MODERATOR. Ok, some reviews here. Despite my apparent dislike for what Lox did, this ROM looks good if not as good as some other GB ROMs I have tried, you know which ones.

Worked out of the box, don't see many differences with cronos 0.0.9, except that sip calling works fine, the icons are tuned a bit better, skinning works, power widget was modified with new icons, more cm options are available. The disadvantage of CM7 beta 1 is that there is no apps2sd, but i'm sure that can be added quite easily in a rom based upon it.
The real fix still to arrive for any hero 2.3 rom is the general speed and smoothness in launcherpro/menu's and for the animations to work fine I guess. So far I prefer this cm7 release because of the little tweaks and improvements that cm7 brings.
Yeah, it looks stable and fast!

Sneak peak - CM7 for Flipside

Note: laidaxin has since released his CM7 rom over Here. It's further along and stuff, so this will probably won't change anymore
Sneak peak of CyanogenMod 7 ported to the Motorola Flipside!

What needs to be fixed before an alpha release:

- Sound
- Backlight won't turn off
A few other things don't work yet (such as camera, GPS)

Great! here wait so long for a Dev that could help with the FlipSide... after months of use it I am amaze about the specs (have a 720mhz cpu that could be OverClk to 1Ghz, and with a rom with system clean may I suspect that it may could have around 256Mb of ram taht with apps2sd make it a very descent droid with keyboard! )and the confidence of the harware components of the FlipSide, is amazing how well works the 3g Networks on this... really deserves a better Rom and a CyanogenMod version will be AWESOME and for sure will make the Flip shine!
Thanks for take time to dev for our humble Flips, and waiting eagerly for your release... The screenshots seems very nice and promising.
Thanks again and best regards!
Overclocking needs a custom kernel (AFAIK), and that can't be done on this device (for now).
The Defy has some sort of overclocking though, so it's possible...
The Flipside I'm using isn't mine (yet) so I can't work on it every day. Also depends on if I want to or not
I'll try to work on it tomorrow

Recommendations for ROM?

Lost the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Sprint Optimus G is coming on Friday. Need to prepare for a weekend of rooting. I've been doing this a long time and am looking for some specifics in the ROM. Was hoping, based on my list of items, if the group here can guide me to the best Sprint ROM (or generic ROM that will work on Sprint)
#1 - Must have Wifi Tether
#2 - Settings toggle buttons in the notification pull-down (the more, the merrier)
#3 - 4.2.x - I use bluetooth streaming and 4.0.x to 4.1.x android has bluetooth issues
#4 - Fast, Fast, Fast performance with no foreclosures
#5 - Better battery life than stock without sacrificing performance
#6 - Superuser (this should be a given but need to make sure)
#7 - Power off menu with option to reboot to recovery
#8 - Camera software modifications to make it better (i hear the LG does not handle low light that well)
#9 - Audio Enhancements modifications (i play music in the car alot)
Of course stability and performance are always the top item. If you can also include any big known issues (ie, NFC now working, 4G LTE disabled, etc)

A couple of things you are looking for aren't in any of our roms yet. 4.2, and power menu for example aren't included yet. Development for this phone is still young so there aren't many options yet. The settings toggle is already included from stock.
I would check out imperium initiative rom since it already includes audio, camera, and battery mods.

1. Download WIFI tether for root users, set to generic ICS/JB
2. Included in stock
3. We just got 4.1.2 so don't get your hopes up. CM 10.1 is getting close however
4. Stock is fast and I've never had a FC
5. I get easily 20+ hours on a single charge and am on it all the time (stock)
6. Download superSU from market
7. Download quickboot from market
8. 4.1.2 helped with the low light in my opinion but there is a mod to help as well (not sure if it works on JB)
9. There was an Awesome Beats mod for ZV9 but I don't know if it works for JB
As long as you can update to ZVB with root I don't think you should have a problem with the stock rom for now. Although the bluetooth issue you're talking about might be present.

And for the simple reason that; what is best for the one User is not best for others...with too many variables involved, usage & apps....the only way to find out what is best for one self is to read and test. Thank You.

ROMs Comparison - Differences & Reviews

Hey there, I haven't updated my Note II (N7100) in a while so I was wondering what's on the custom ROMs scene these days.
Long story short, I came across a popular few listed below but it doesn't do much to help differentiate one ROM from another. While it's easy to say "give each a try & find out for yourself", I was hoping we can be a bit more objective to describe the functionality of each ROM & what they feature to make them stand out from the rest.
Ideally, I can keep the list updated following your feedback. Please feel free to give me your suggestions to improve it further. Thanks!

Are we able to do that ? I never knew that it was possible to exist a thread like that. Its going to be very helpful, if its going to be continued. I will definitely follow and get informed .
Thank you for creating this.
:good::good:
---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------
BUT IF WE WANT TO BE FAIR , we must inform that Aicp and Lineage roms have been updated recently
AICP has a daily base update so the last nightly is 11/6/2017
http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=n7100
Lineage's ROM also have been updatedd 3/6/2017
http://tilak.sergix44.ovh/n7100/
RR is not easy to keep track, as they release a rom and after a while it disappears from their server and an unofficial pops up and so on. I was never able to understand what is happening in that thread and this is very unfortunate since RR is (or was for NOTE 2) one of the most popular roms. It was the first not stock based,custom rom i flashed in my note 2
NucleaROM also has a newer version:
NucleaRom-V1.0.7-OFFICIAL[7.1.2]-n7100-20170525
http://nuclearom.com/download/nuclearom-v1-0-7-official7-1-2-n7100-20170525-1513-zip/?lang=en
and HenonHD , I think is going to surprise us pleasantly , with something even newer from them all
Tomorrow , if its OK, I will write my personal opinion for every one I have tried.
N7100 ROMs Table (Nougat) (updates stopped)
Moved to its own thread (here).
take a look in NucleaROM by @moludo. New built today 13/6/2017 is fantastic, with CM S-PEN support inbuilt.
I think its the top for now.

I don't see why not
You'll notice I've avoided subjective opinions when comparing the ROMs to avoid any kind of bias beyond what each of them offer. A similar [THREAD="3220724"][INDEX] thread[/THREAD] exists for our Note II & most other device forums but it hasn't been updated since the tail-end of last year so I'm aiming to just focus on a detailed "specs sheet" of ROMs.

I'm just keeping track of stable release dates. I'm sure you understand that it gets a bit trickier to keep track of nightly release dates of various ROMs. However, I'll make a note to label ROMs with a nightly release schedule as such.

Thanks for your feedback, @jer194! Just added a "Flaw" column to the table to keep track of significant issues (+ their fixes) that users might want to aware of before committing to install a ROM.
Once again, I'd like to re-iterate to everyone that this is (at least for the time-being) an actively updated thread so your contribution is hugely appreciated for each & every ROM up there. Cheers!
Sorry Guys was all busy with my Sem exams, Hope you all are doing good,
Have so much of notifications to be checked on....
anyway, will see for a week for some new changes in RR, else will release a new stability fix update.
Special thanks to Christoph Schafer for his donation, its not the amount brother, its the appreciation which you shown matters...

The list of flaws for sure is incomplete, the ones in my post are just the ones I'm struggling with
Meanwhile, NucleaROM (170622) and XenonHD (170624) have received updates (see my earlier post).
I think that now that magisk is removed as a default root method and AICP has left us decide what to be used as root, AICP is coming back very strong among the three best for now , together with NucleaRom and HenonHD, which are still at the top three.
Hibin.m , now that he is back, has to give a boost if he intents to keep up, as RR is not what they used to be and what in other phones are still considered as a strong group.
Lineage is always the strong, solid but Spartan rom, which anyone can count on, to test if his phone is working as it should.
Its always the base of them all.
THESE ARE MY PERSONAL FEELING THIS WEEK and no one has to agree with me.
I think its like open season out there, all the kids , now that schools and colleges have finished lessons have come over, looking for things and futures they have left before new years holidays. Amazing how young people dont want to try new things but trying to keep things the way it was a long time ago. A lot of them are even asking how to go back to lolipop or KIT KAT.
TECHNOLOGY is not furniture where old is classic. Here old is outdated and not working anymore, as it cannt keep up new challenges.
Any way, sorry for that, I am mostly talking to my self

Thanks for bumping the thread!
There is no obligation to fix flaws --- everybody is free to do so, if he/she feels like ...
(and there might be more interesting things to do out there).
Anyway, I've updated my two tables I had posted earlier (on N7100 ROMs, and on flaws).
Today i have in my mind this classification about the available roms for our note 2
1. XenonHD 14/7/2017
Everything seems to work just fine in that latest version of the rom
Counting: GPS, video everywhere, video calls in WhatsApp and Viber, built-in from now on. Highly battery friendly. Nova launcher in-built, dark theme option
2. NucleaRom
radioactive kernel of the rom is one of the most effective and customize-able, available now for our phone
also a flawless rom, smooth, fast, battery friendly, with all major functions working perfect.
3. AICP 17/7/2017
very similar with the XenonHD, as they both share sources and DEV
looks slightly slower than the first 2 roms, but its a rom you can also very easy use a a daily driver.
These are my personal and only marks about the roms available right now.
The other roms are still to be update, or be tested since they where absent for a while
Dont you think you have to update threads with the new appeared rom(s),
or you are just waiting for them to mature a little more?

I'm trying to keep my ROM tables updated (see signature); crDroid has been added already.
My device lost some of its sensors, so I'm not able to test thoroughly anymore ...

I know you are doing great job documentary everything. Users haven't yet understand how great and useful is what you are doing. They will appreciate it eventually
so, new entries this week end. You have a lot work to do.
Waiting to see your very useful information
THANKS again for the great job you are doing
:good::good:
So, 2 new entries this week
Lineage's rom (Tilak's) and RR(hibin.m)
Both are updated with new sources and a lot of fixes in both of them.
Lineage's rom comes prerooted, RR provided 2 versions (prerooted and un rooted) for the user to choose.
I installed lineageSU in unrooted RR rom to have a ,as much as possible , equal base to compere the 2 roms.
What i have found out:
Lineage rom, with iSU on it, passes safety net check.
RR rom, can't pass. CTS profile false.
in Lineage rom GPS fixes in device only scan
In RR GPS is not fixing unless in high accuracy (BT WIFI)
In both roms when trying to do a normal voice call using BT mobile network is restarting , so its impossible to make or receive a call.
Only inbuilt camera is working on both roms
Open camera and Snap camera HDR are crashing
Lineage's rom feels more solid but RR is faster in antutu tests, giving you though a sence of a little instability.
Thats what I manage to understand from last night's testing

Thanks for sharing your findings!
I've updated my N7100 ROMs table accordingly.
Just for the RR GPS: it is working in my installation.
The best indicator is in SatStat, 'Satellites':
- if it shows '-/-', GPS is not working
- if it shows '0/0', GPS is working, and is just a matter of patience (and free sky) to get the satellite signals.

yes, you are right.
It took me some more time and a lot of open space, but finally got it FIXED.
Looks like first time takes a little more time when in device only mode
