Best Rom besides cyanogen

[rontej226]

Hey guys im wondering what other roms everyone is using besides cyanogen?

That is what i'm running now but my battery life suddenly dies quickly at time. It depends on the day. On some days i have a 15hr battery life and this week, it happened twice, where the phone died in like 3-4 hrs. Very weird.

im running cyanogen 5.0.5.3 and 2.6.33.1 kernel

Any suggestions?

Try the Undervolt Kernel. It keeps the Stock speed but reduces the amount of voltage to the CPU thereby increasing battery life.

Also try using the app Spare Parts to identify what's causing the battery drain. If you're running CM, it should already be installed (I think).

When you notice that it's draining too quickly, fire up that app, and click on "Battery history". There should be 2 buttons...change the top one to "Partial wake usage" and bottom one should be on "Since last unplugged". Naturally, if your phone is plugged in there will be no stats. Maybe try "Total in all time" also...

That might help you track down the culprit that's using up all your battery power...

Thanks. I'm going to try and install
[Kernel - .33]intersectRaven's Kernel
i'm also considering about maybe installing modaco's rom instead as i heard it has better battery life.
I'm also thinking about the radio but everyone in the forums seems scared to do so. I'll stay away.

There's really nothing that complicated about the flashing the radio...just have the battery charged to 100% and don't unplug or remove the battery in the process of flashing it. Admittedly, I was a little freaked to do it the first time, but it's not bad if you follow the instructions precisely.

Use the EPE54B image linked in Cyanogen's forum, and run a MD5 checksum on it to make sure it's a clean download. If you don't know how to check the MD5 and you're running windows, download this simple program , install it, and you can right-click on the image file, go to the digestIT 2004 flyout, and "calculate" the MD5 hash. Then compare the response to the MD5 he has listed in the thread...if they match, you're good.

updated the radio and the signal already seems a lot better when i put my hand over the phone. Next will be to update the kernel. As you can see, I just go for it lol.

I am now thinking of trying Enom's rom as i'm hearing great things about it.

Congrats...see, not so hard! If you're interested there are several different OC/UV kernels out there. I'm using Pershoot's mod based on the 2.6.33.2 kernel and I think it's pretty sweet:
Kernel 2.6.33.2 ? OC-UV-RAM (1.13GHZ) ? Nexus - Droid Basement
Just use it in conjunction with SetCPU ...you can set up profiles in SetCPU to help reduce battery usage depending on the phone sleeping, charging, whatever.

Hello,


I am now using Cyanogen 6 and wonder if I should flash Cyanogen 7 ?

Can you tell me what will be the benefits ?

I have an old Nexus 1 Google.

The only problem i have with my actual mod is that the camera sometimes freezes when I push the button to take a photo.

Everything else is perfect.


Thank you for your help.




And what about Ice cream sandwich for Nexus 1, should I wait a stable release or it might never come ?
