Im curerntly running android 2.2 with htc sense on my aria phone.
As I become more intrigued with phone performance and android, I want to know what is the fastest rom that my aria should run.
What roms has the best benchmark test on my aria?
Thanks.
For me real world performance>benchmark score
The fastest/smoothest is the CM7 nightlies for me. Sense always seemed laggy to me. Plus ads ex is incredibly smooth even with screen animations & live wallpapers.
Also this should've been posted in general

They all perform exceedingly well given a particular set of needs and the right combination of software. For example, if a lean build with an nth degree of customization is important to you go with CM 6.1 or 7 (I would really recommend 7 at this point for the keyboard, speed, and enhanced copy / paste text selection). I would however lose the built in adw launcher for LPP or adw ex as it is as sluggish as sense. If you value HTC customizations, flash lite, FM radio and green led alerts, go with liberated FR. If you like the extra features but hate Sense and its lackluster performance, you can replace it with LPP or ADW ex and it will run just as well as CM on the smoothness front. Truth is with the overclock function both roms scream dsspite running on such modest hardware.

Are you serious?? ADW ex is the slowest POS i've ever used. Launcher Pro FTW...
I've never understood what people saw in ADW, it feels clunky and outdated.
the latest CM7 seems smooth,fast and great on power.
I replaced the ADW with LPP (latest) . . . and love it.
As mentioned before if you want to keep the Sense feel - then use FR008 - its quite good !

No lagginess or slowness here...pretty epic if you ask me. Obviously he doesn't hate ADW as much as he claims if he forked up the couple bucks to try it...just sayin.

I can't notice any performance difference between ADW EX and LPP. I cant say the same for the standard ADW however. I'm a LPP guy all the way though. Can't beat all the features and absurd amount of customizability.
LPP>ADW EX>ADW

CM is pretty bare bones on the eye candy front, downright ugly. If you like interfaces written by programmers for programmers by all means get it. I have tried it and found it marginally faster than Sense but people who describe Sense as laggy are exaggerating. What swore me off CM is that despite the fact that you can customize pretty much anything you cannot turn off the annoying crawling ants animation on the home screen wallpaper. If you can live with that and the Spartan interface it is probably the best custom ROM for any Android device

mirror.teamdouche.net, and search for Liberty ROM
And nighties means an alpha or beta build of a software, compiled from night to night with the latest fixed added. As it just automatically built, it could contain lots of bugs because it hasn't been thoughtfully tested. That said, CM7 nighties are the less buggy nighties I've seen in software so far

Make sure you have another launcher installed AND chosen as the default launcher, or you will get stuck in a boot loop.
I went to teamdouche.... there are cm liberty full zip 8,9,10,11,12. Do I just get 7?
The aria is essentially the liberty, Correct?

So... any of you guys tried this? I haven't been running it today, no need at this point with MikShift, but if/when I go back to AOSP-based roms, it will definitely be my launcher of choice, especially if they continue to develop and include matching widgets for each Launcher interface.
Thought I'd put the word out, it's quite a nifty home replacement. Find it on XDA or Market.

If they do decide to include widgets to match the different docks, (sense, blur, touchwiz styled) then it'll be amazing.

Yes, it would. But, since its open source anyone can build and modify it to release with their roms.
If someone wantexd to do that and include widgets, I don't see the harm.

Hi guys
I just flashed Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 onto my MyTouch 4G.
I am wondering how I can get back Sense UI. I really liked the clock with the weather (the animations get me)!
Notes: Fancy Widgets and Beautiful Widgets do not provide the animations which I like.
Could anyone possibly provide an apk for the actual Sense UI? Or is it plainly impossible as long as I'm using Cyanogenmod?
Please reply soon. Thank you.
Fancy Widgets does have animations and you would need to flash a sense rom.

Impossible, if you want sense UI you gotta use a sense based ROM, a lot of sense features are in the framework.

Sounds like you just really love Sense. Why not just go back to Sense? Unless you like the quickness and battery life of CM7.
I think if you like the sense ui your best bet is Virtuous fusion to me this is most def the best rom for our phone right now...

Yes fancy widgets does have animations but its not the same as sense but its reasonable i still say go with virtuous fusion

I've been ADW. EX since it was released. I've used it on every device I've had since, and I'm using it now. No other launcher trumps its functionality imo. I just can't use anything else.
It runs beautifully on the i777 at 1600MHz.

Any else using the EX version over TW noticing slight delays no present in TW? Especially opening something from the tray.
I am a bit confused about Touch Wiz. I am running rooted Galaxy s2 777 on custom kernel and unnamed rom. Where can I get touch wiz? is it an app? I am using ADW myself but not EX, where can I get a free version of ex?
How do I install downloaded apps from my PC and put then to install on my phone?
Any help would be appreciated.
There are lots of settings for adw.ex! I love that you can tweak it beyond reason! Lol
One thing I've done tho is changed desktop scrolling speeds and desktop bounce in the settings to maximize fluid page transitions.
Touchwiz feels very smooth and a contributing factor would be the speed and bounce at which the pages turn.
So now when I change the scrolling animation to the fly in or cube, its important to tweak those speeds (faster or slower) to improve the feel of the transition.

Maybe my Rezound is just weird, but the latest leaks seem to lag a pretty decent amount for me. I wouldn't say it's unbearable, but some apps just take longer to load and the animations are kind of choppy when compared to my Samsung Fascinate (obviously with inferior hardware) that's running ICS right now. Is this just because HTC hasn't implemented full hardware acceleration in the UI or are there some things I can try that would help?

It is called taking a 100 or so MB OS and making it 500+MB with sense...lol. also too, to be fair, HTC hasn't released a final product, so it may improve drastically.

Lol...that could be it. It's insane how much **** they can pack into a single ROM. On my Fascinate I'm used to seeing a ~110MB ROM at the absolute most and on this thing they usually exceed 500MB.
My guess is since it's not finished they probably just haven't implemented full HW acceleration but I'm hoping to get some kind of conclusive answer.
they are "leaks" for a reason.
we are basically all testing for HTC.
I wouldn't put it past them if they read these threads as we do all the work finding the bugs.
or at least the DEVs do I mean!
It's like you have a 4 cyl car and only 2 are working lol.
not too mention this is ICS with sense 3.5..
I don't know if we will get it with that, or 3.6 or 4.0, so it's all in the air.
TBH ICS isn't anything to go crazy about. I thought the same waiting for froyo with the Eris, and also about GB on the inc1..
change is great but nothing to lose sleep over.
Without Sense, ICS is awesome. With sense, it is probably slightly higher performance than GB. The UI will otherwise look similar. But the Desensed roms run really well on my rezound. After stripping out as much as possible the size of the rom can be reduced significantly.
i'm assuming the acceleration what's causing golauncher,lpp and adw ex to slow down to a crawl. 3 screens and 8 functional widgets seems to be too much for ICS outside of sense

When I flashed Scott's stock ICS rom, it lagged quite a bit just from scrolling through the screens so I'm assuming this is normal.
I'm running Scott's CleanROM 2.1 now. And I have to say I like it a lot (aside from Sense of course lol). My benchmarks are much higher because I believe ICS is built for dual-core devices? I have amazing performance. Have you tried this ROM?

Give this a shot http://www.mediafire.com/?8ok2adqawvd82m2 it's the stock ics launcher from a 4.0.1 rom that made speed improvements on it. Let me know if you think it's smoother than the original stock. Just push it via adb and see how it goes.

I wouldn't be able to tell you why. Best bet is to e-mail the developer and see what he/she says.
Guys i've started this thread to discuss about stock and cm based custom roms
1)which is better in what way
2)battery life
3)gaming performance
4)tweaks available for each
i felt that there is no thread related to this that's why started one
for battery, stock is the best
Stock FTW
Better battery,stable,camera,dialer,music and mms are very good.
Personally I miss tw goodies like integrated task manager button,camera and music player in CM7 so Stock is better for me
Yeah stock is stable, but so is cm7.
However, you miss out on the newer features offered in the cm9/ cm10 /aokp/ paranoid android roms.
I'm using PAC by nims11.
The main reason I personally prefer cm7 over stock is multitasking. On stock if I am using one application and switch to another, then switch back, my place is lost and often the first app has been killed and has to restart. That might be why cm7 supposedly uses more battery (I don't notice a difference personally, but I use my phone a lot)
I'm also not a fan of touchwiz and prefer the customization of cm7.
I love trying new roms no matter what the android version; 2.3.6, 2.3.7, 4.0 or 4.1
Kudos to all the Dev's working hard to make my old crappy ace awesome!

CM7 is best..
A little bit battery drain than stock but has more costomization for daily use..also has no bugs.. all the things is working and stable..
Actually our opinions always have a touch of personal experience. Some people use the stock based just the way they are & some people tweak it more. I've seen that the sgs II v10.1 has a great multi tasking capability ( atleast for me...) . Kranti.ace has really brought out a revolution as his name says. His rom is pretty smooth & he's promising further improvisation. What else to expect? Just the devs to bring out the better of what's already best...
I used to have beautiful life before. Now I'm in engineering...!
Completely correct.
