Hey everyone! Has there been any word if there will be a Cyanogen ROM for the Streak now that the kernel source has been released?? Would be pretty nice IMHO
Don't think he has a streak to do a rom for us !
And I'm going to be controversial here........
I love Cyan roms, very quick and stable and very 'tweakable' with lots of options.
I had them on my G1 and Nexus, however they EAT the battery..

Once all the lovley devs have sussed the source code for the streak a port is on the cards.
Ill go out on a limb and disagree, im running cm 5.0.8 on my g1, i dont have my sim card in it (obviously its in my streak) i only use it as an alarm clock, with no data connection at all, it will last about 10 days on a 2200mAh battery, my experience battery wise has been no worse with cm compared to other roms... even a vanilla 2.2 build with gapps and the same dpi setting as a Evo would be fine with me... id kill for stock android.

ive never experienced battery drain with cyan roms on my G1. completely the opposite infact.
cyan himself doesnt need to make a rom for streak with the source we can have ago at porting it over. but although his roms are fantastic i dont think they will be very good for the streak. its best we build our own cyans and set the bar for custom streak roms ourselves
once we work out dells weird and wonderful edits to android source we should have some success but at moment theirs alot of cannot allocate memory problems

At the time cyanogen brought a lot of features we now use everyday. Os optimizations apps to sd. Things lf that nature. It is fully opensource and open to anyone to use.
I am fascinated and captivated by the vibrant screen on my epic galaxy s.

The ability to customize the phone, the stability, the speed, the battery life, and it gives phones the the g1/dream froyo which I guess was deemed impossible. It also gives users great support and updates quite frequently.

Plus it is a large group of people that work collectively together, they along with a few others are the ones that the leading "cutting edge" devs........ they blazed the trail and now all of us and the current devs benefit from their work.
Yea. Since its built from scratch it is faster than any roms here.
The g1 roms were same speed rooted or not
When cm came it was fast! And then a rom based on cm called super d was even faster and then a european rom was fastest!
So what I'm trying to say is, CM is and will be faster than the ROMs built here overclocked or not because the ROMs found here are based on the Official Froyo made by Samsung not a Vanilla Gingerbread rom built from scratch
So I think something built frrom scratch is better than something just modified and themed
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It's built from scratch using the AOSP source, which a lot of ROMs are not (many ROMs are merely modified versions of existing stock ROMs).
It has an extensive amount of customization and flexibility beyond any other ROM I've ever used on an Android device.
I don't mind the ROM I'm running on my Vibrant, but I miss CyanogenMod. Since the CM7 release candidate for the MT4G just hit, I think it's time for me to change it up a bit. I'm tired of my short-range wifi (seriously, less than full bars when I'm only six feet away from my 802.11n router?), non-functional GPS and totally wonky compass, anyway.
I think one of its advantages is the sheer size of the community, if you've ever used various Linux distributions the same concept applies. When your user base expands to the point where you've got dozens if not hundred of loyal users posting guides, reporting bugs, requesting features, and answering new user's questions the community really feeds on itself and builds momentum. Cyanogen is largely responsible for a lot of the momentum in the rom community, and I know it's brought more people to the community than almost any other project.
A lot of things.
The cyanogenmod options alone are worth it - VM Heap, swap, JIT, compcache, et cetera. Granted these things are more relevant to lower end devices. Then there's the native ADW launcher integration. I've never been about to replace the stock launcher with ADW and get the same results.
It's really just its use in practice. Everything works, the interface is very instant/responsive (no jagged animations/scrolling, ever), no force closes, lots of mods/hacks for it from the community, which in general is very scrutinous about performance/stability hangups. Battery life twice what you're use to.
They're the only ROM team I've donated to. I flashed hundreds of roms when I had my Magic (one of the hardware-weakest android phones) but CM is what kept it up to par, giving me an extra generation's life out of it.
I personally love all the features built in, like pulldown menu modifications, as well as pretty much customizing every aspect, NO roms like that exist for our Vibrants..
It is Cyan in color, and mod like the british music scene duh!
hmm... I might have to give cm7 a try once they get it working on the vibrant. They are working on it right? If the manufactures were smart, they would give a pre-release phone to those guys before it's available to the public. Of course, the carriers may not like it. I just purchased my vibrant 3 weeks ago (former iphone 4 user). I tried a few darkyy's roms, then toxic, then finally I stuck with trigger. I'm very satisfied with it - mainly b/c everything works nice and smooth.
I see I'm a bit late but yes, Trigger is awesome. I tried flashing others and I always come back after 2days tops.... For some reason, Trigger runs so much smoother than the other ROMs on my phone... And I have tried 2.2.1(Honestly I dont get the difference) and I am not a fan of the 2.3.3 because most say the GPS doesn't work and I use my GPS at work, yes through my phone(I'm cheap). Plus that is one of my reasons for buying a "smart phone" It has everything at your finger tips, or supposed to at least right. Hope your having fun.,..... BTW, CM is freaking awesome on every device I have seen it on...... I'm actually curious to know why it's not on the Vibrant as an official build but eh..... It will come when it's ready I suppose
It seems that cyanogenmod is very popular with other phone users, and everyone seems to want it for the vibrant as well... but can i just ask what differs cyanogenmod from say trigger bionix or eugebes rom?
It seems like there is a crapton more work involved and that you could possibly brick your phone.

Because it's a pure AOSP ROM. Build from scratch (well, a base).
Try it if you really want to know, except for GPS issues and not so good battery life, it is AMAZING.

CM is the granddaddy of AOSP ROMs. Cyanogen and his team are devs cutting actual code, writing their own device drivers and system apps. The entire CM ROM is compiled from customized source code.
Contrast this with the approach taken by ROM chefs who largely assemble their ROMs out of precompiled components borrowed from different releases of the vendor's ROM binary plus some configuration hacking where the odd component has been successfully decompiled.
That's not to belittle the achievements of the top chefs in any way - it's frankly astonishing that this school is viable at all, they seem to be operating mostly blind so it's more art than engineering in some respects.
But both approaches have their strengths. OEMs like HTC with access to detailed specs for their own hardware and low-level API's can produce better drivers and better apps that work closely rough drivers (like the camera app), but at the other extreme, AOSP code can sometimes include features the vendor left out or even implement a completely rethought and altogether superior design.
It's unfortunate that the closed source strategy of vendors with their signed modules often denies us the opportunity to combine the best of both. I'm particularly thinking of how juice defender can only control the toggling between 2G/3G radio on AOSP ROMs because the radio driver will only respond to code signed with the same key as itself. Aint signed code wonderful, eh?

Another reason is quick updates.
CM has updates before any major manufacturer and they're updating phones that manufacturers abandoned a long time ago.
I ran CM on my G1 and I've been seriously considering making the jump with my Vibrant any day now.
for me, it's long term support. once cm adds a phone, then that phone is typically going to be able to easily be upgraded to the newest android os and typically very shortly after it comes out. like many others, i had a g1 and because i cm i was able to get more life out of the device by ocing it and updating it 2.1 and 2.2.
go install cm7 and you will see what's good about it. the only major problem with it right now is no gps. after running cm7 i went back to biwinning and bionix, but that was short lived, i'm back on cm7 because having 2.3.3 > gps, for me.
Yep, CM7 4/21 nightly + cm7 Kang kernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz + ondemand Governor equals the fastest I have gotten my Vibrant.
I have a Nexus S, right now it's stock 2.3.4 but when Cyanogenmod gets updated to 2.3.4 then for sure I will flash it. Why? When I already have stock? Well have you seen the the things you can do on that thing? You can add a music widget built right into the lockscreen, change themes with ease, change what the search key does, change the lock screen style, and the browser is improved ( incognito mode for one) you also get some fixes that Google almost never fixes, plus stock 2.3.3-2.3.4 disables Facebook sync with your contacts, however Cyanogenmod removes this thing that Google put... basically you can customize the thing like crazy. Plus it still remains stock, but the entire experience can change. I made my Nexus S look like Sense, changed how the notification bar and other aspects of the UI looked, changed the launcher to a themed launcher pro and changed the lockscreen to lense style, boom Sense style completely. Also if your device isn't stock you can install it and you make it stock, a problem with Sense is that a lot of the time the software disables things that some apps might need ( making things like wiimotes not work on it) but if you have Cyanogenmod, it eliminates that.

I have been using the XDA forums for a while with my Motorola Atrix and now I have a Nook Color to play with.. I am trying to decide what I want to run on it and would like to get people's opinion on what they like the best.
Right now I have CM7 running on it and like it.. I get freeze ups from time to time but generally I am enjoying it.
I am interested in giving Honycomb a try but I hear that it has a lot of compatibility issues with different apps and am wondering if it is worth my time to give it a try.
What do you all think? Which do you prefer? Is there something other than these two options to try?
Give MIUI a shot; it's Android with an iOS coat of paint.
Honeycomb probably won't be worth it until after ICS due to the fact that google hasn;t released the source code for HC.Once we get some proper ports of Honeycomb out, i think Honeycomb would be the best.
CM7 is the best period. MIUI is just themed outdated CM version.

Cm7 gets my vote too, been very stable and turns your nook into an even more useful little device. Very neat
+1 for CM7. I was getting random problems running from an a-data card (Sandisk is usually recommended). I installed to emmc a while ago and haven't looked back -- it's been just about perfect. I had tried one of the earlier preview versions of HC a while back and it was not fun - very laggy and lots of compatibility problems. I'm sure it's better now but with CM7 there's little reason to switch.

Hi all,
First of all, I'm amazed and gobsmacked at how much work all the devs put into their respective ROM's, it's amazing the effort and hard work ppl put in. Passion is alive and well on XDA
Now, to business. I have my Galaxy SII, a Galaxy S, and an Acer Iconia A500. I've flashed them all with their respective ICS. I would think (and hope) that probably out of all of them, the SII has the biggest dev base and most power. The ICS ROMs for the A500 and S are almost perfect. They run completely vanilla with no or almost no bloat, they look and behave the same (icons for network activity inside the bars for example, contacts app looks the same) and have had no hiccups whatsoever.
Come the SII, the only ROMs I've seen are cooked from Samsung sources with their phone and contacts apps, they crash and reboot and if it weren't that I have gone past the point of no return in regard to effort I'd have gone back to Gingerbread days ago.
Is anyone out there developing a completely vanilla "Google" rom that isn't themed to look like ICS, but actually uses the ICS apps etc. I can't understand how the Iconia and SI can have this while the SII seemingly doesn't.
Can anyone open my eyes on this? I'd love to get something as stable onto my SII as I have with my other devices, ICS is brilliant to use on them...and barely bearable on my beloved SII.
Cheers

Ummmm correct me if I am wrong but that's exactly what the CM team are trying yo to do....
And you can already download and install that, so long as you are happy with the bugs at present.

I'm more curious about the fact I would have thought the SII having a bigger user and dev base...certainly more than the A500 I thought it would have the most stable and mature code base - yet it seems the opposite is true.
I've been running 4.0.3 on my SI for weeks now and its never bugged out. Installed the A500...and Oh wow its like a brand new tablet!! I wonder is it because of Exynos or some other reason we can't have the same stability and performance right now.

Your ignorance and disrespect is pretty bad (even if you don't mean it). I think you should do some reading for a while and get yourself acquainted with what's involved.
I didn't ask this to be dissed by someone...I'm sure even you would agree the development cycle and challenges for all three devices would be similar given they all use different processors. So is it easier to compile for the A8 and Tegra than the A9?
I have been looking and downloading a number of ROMs...and if someone has created a ROM in a similar vein to Thor's on the A500 and Onecosmic's on the SI, well I'd be grateful for the heads up...in fact I'm just about to download and test the Pure ROM I just spied over in dev...so see how that goes. Still I'd be happy for someones *constructive* input.
Of course I'm claiming ignorance...if I knew I wouldn't ask...geez lol

It's a wonder no one bothers doing a straight AOSP compile for any device, really. CyanogenMod comes the closest. There are a few people who played with doing a straight AOSP, but they base it off CM's work and strip out the extras.
When I wanted the AOSP experience with Gapps, I installed CM7 on my SGS and installed the stock Gingerbread launcher. It was the closest I got.
Trebuchet is basically the stock ICS launcher with features added, so it won't be so bad. You can also replace it with the stock launcher as well.
Try Airbus 360s ics rom that's aosp and is fantastic he should be releasing beta 2 tonight.

haha I bet that confused ya
You're question is a bit noob so don't expect much answers.
Here is a short one to sum it for you:
AOSP - Pure android base without modification.
CM - almost pure with modifications.
STOCK - Hardware Manufacturer (eg. Samsung's) "official originated" release.
Stock - can have it all. CAUSE - Samsung has sources and support/docs for ALL hardware API of the device.
CM/STOCK - While there are some changes BOTH use the same origin.
To sum it, for proper functionality BOTH use SAME kernel/libs base.
So if some hardware functionality broken in one it'll be broken in other =
If CM9 haz no h/w decoding === APPLIES for AOSP.
Another thing to keep in mind, CM9 currently is in the process of adding CM features so current builds are very close to AOSP with functionality.
SUM IT UP:
if (CM9 != working) AOSP.isNotWorking()!

Hi,
Just a request to the gurus. Would love to see a MIUI ROM
Thanks!
Never been a fan of miui, they develop only for flagship devices, not like cyanogen. But I'd like to see a port.
The best room imo is aokp
I was never a fan of MIUI roms but there were some users in Motorola Milestone and LG Optimus 2x forums and were there few regular MIUI developers too.
MIUI would be awesome on the L9!
I love MIUI
Good for iPhone lovers, I hate it. lolz

is good because is realy "pure" and simply to use. i love to have all apps on screen, i hate the button for enter on drawer
Its too much im thinking more AOKP....NOW THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
Opinions, opinions. I like MIUI for its looks, some others don't. Some of you will think I'm the worst human in the world for liking some fancy pixels, to which I say get a hobby.
We all know MIUI will eventually find its way on this device, as will AOKP, as will PAC, as will other manufacturer-stock UIs.
aokp, love it, miui had it one time to much bugs on my lg o2x, didnt read sd card no music, okay had miui GB version, is fun one time but to much bug never instaled miui again, love to see aosp rom or aokp rom, not that CM is bad but aokp has so cool thing.
but i would also see a custom rom, based on official roms. with tweaks etc. lg did a nice job with there ics and up alot of things ilove
I like MIUI for its easy and neat access to many settings from the notification bar pull down. Like how the notifications and toggles are seperated. Besides that I like the easy theming options.It is very granular. May be all these features are available in ICS an JB just that I haven't played with new devices.
I have been using MT4G with MIUI using Holo launhcer till now. It has been solid. Miss the LED notification button from MT4G.
I think miui is beatiful but UI gets slowed down by so much themeing and theres always this bug where settings menu is laggy as hell.
Gotta say: Haven't had MIUI installed on a device for a year+, but I have been tracking its progress, and these days it's gorgeous.
