So since there's only about 5 or 6 custom ROM's at the moment I took the liberty of creating a quick site to compare the ROM's. I put them in a comparison table side-by-side, put a link to download them (off my own site [so this can be used as a mirror]) and put a link to my own personal thoughts/semi-informal review of each ROM and included screen-shots of the ROM (90% of it I took myself).
I wanted to share the link/site with you to see what you think. I'm going to try and stay on top of updates and such, and each page on the site has a way for you to leave a comment. So if you have any suggestions or problems, feel free to comment there (or here). Also, if you want to submit your own review, thoughts, suggestions, etc. the site has a way for you to post it and I can look it over and publish it. I'd love for this not to be a one man show. If you have extensive experience with one of the ROM's and want to throw in your own review, post it there and I'll make it live and link to it in the comparison table.
I know I'm going to get blasted, told how stupid and useless the site is, etc. etc. and I'm prepared for that, but maybe you could also include a quick note on why it's stupid, what I need to add, how better to improve it, etc. you know, constructive criticism. I do know it's ugly and using a crappy default skin, but I was more concerned on getting content in there right now vs the look and feel of the actual thing; I'll get around to it, eventually. Anyways, I'm only trying to help.

It seems really detailed and gives users a quick comparison on what roms are available and what they offer all in one shot. You didnt offer a score or say which one YOU liked best in hoped that the viewer will make up his/her own mind and try the roms for themselves... and because of this, I like your post!
One suggestion, I would have liked a few more screenshots of UnNamed.
However, this isnt a developmental thread (just a comparison chart) and it probably needs to go in general... and perhaps even stickied (as long as this list gets updated) or at least linked/referenced in the FAQ in the General forum.
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Yeah I was wondering if it should go in this forum or the general one. I can re-post it there if you want and you can delete this thread, I'm far from a developer (but have great respect for those guys), just a power user. I do plan on staying on top of updates, with only 5 or so ROM's it's not that difficult at the moment).
I knew I was using 'stock' ROM images somewhere! I forgot to update the UnNamed review section with the screen captures I actually personally took. Done. 10 screen-shots.

Your idea is very good one but I was a bit disappointed because when I first
saw this new thread I was almost sure that you had a simular idea as I had.
I have spent countless hours of testing almost every aspect of ALL the
custom roms which are currently available for our phones including CM7.
So I was hoping when I first saw this new thread that that's what you had
in mind too and that you wrote a comprehensive comparison report of each
and every rom letting everyone know your opinion of the pro's and con's of
each.
It would not be that diffult to do since there are only five custom roms.
(P.S. The UnNamed custom rom is by far the very best and most error free, but please don't tell anyone I said so.)
Thread moved to the right board. Carry On!
did you click on the more info button at the bottom? I put a few personal observations and notes for each from and included screenshots, I plan to edit that regularly and update it with a more comprehensive review as I go along. I have installed each rom ( to get screenshots and initial impressions) including cm7, but will admit I have not spent a lot of time in each rom except for unnamed. I will be running serendipity for the next 24 hours or so, followed by cognition then followed by perception. if you have written comprehensive reviews on the roms and want to join forces I would more than welcome that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Updated Serendipity to 8.1
Serendipity is at 8.1; added the file to the server, updated the Download link and included his changes in the table. It's all good.
Alpha0.6 Release notes:
Another minor release. While working on bigger problems that will take a while I wanted to push out an update for some things that have happened in the last few days. This is primarily to get Flemmard's work out for more testing. This contains the start of CyanogenMod settings. However, most of the settings are not functional on tablets yet.
With this release I will also provide two flashable zips to allow you to easily switch between lcd density 120 and 160. The default is still 160 because it offers the greatest compatibility. Any lcd density value between 160 and 120 will ruin market compatibility. For those that would like a "higher resolution" look and feel, you may flash the 120 lcd density update.zip. This will copy a new build.prop and will update the launcher for proper display. I strongly recommend changing the font size in Settings->System->Fonts if you chose to do this. The 160 lcd density update is provided to easily revert the change.
Touchscreen fixes
Ability to hide the combined bar(navigation buttons and clock) for full screen. This uses the ICS api so it will require app support(not all apps have been updated). This is an option under Settings->[Interface]->System->Combined Bar (Credits to Flemmard)
Scrollable quick settings. This will require tweaking later to allow it to be bigger on the Touchpad but fixes overflow issue on 7" tablets with the new Bluetooth toggle. (Credits to Flemmard)
Reboot to recovery is working via the power menu(hold down power button). Note: reboot will sometimes shutdown rather than rebooting.
Preliminary support for Rom Manager. In order to use this you will need Rom Manager Premium because it is not official yet. In order to use it you will need to execute "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" in Rom Manager. Confirm the model is cm_tenderloin, say yes that you have installed manually, and check ClockworkMod 3.x. Now you can use Rom Manager to flash update.zips. Official support should come soon.

The problem with that is that dalingrin asked specifically that this NOT be done.
It's not exactly theft, but definitely bad form.
And do we really want to alienate the dev's that are coding this for us?
I'm quite thankful for his work, and I'll be happy to give his site the traffic if dalgrin would like it to be that way.
Imagine a coworker of yours swiped everything you did, and handed it to your boss and said, "Look what got accomplished this week!"
It's just not cool.
I'd like to go on record by "ANTI-THANKING" this post, but unfortunately that's not possible.

We all know who made the update so that's not the issue here. The issue is not having to get redirected to another site that's going to tell us the exact same information. If anything he should post something here on XDA (a much better community that RootzWiki IMO) and have the exact same stuff here. Why make us go to a certain site?

Hey Masta
It was a request by the developer. A simple request to link to the op of his thread is what is deserved. He wants to keep question and counts as he should. I don't like it when people repost mirrors of my stuff either. These threads aren't needed because many are already out linking back to source files.
Not to mention, without dalingrin and team, we wouldn't have such nice toys. They make ground breaking systems, the least we can do is honor their wishes. Would hate to see source closed up due to people not doing what's asked.

I agree, also to mention that by you distributing a linux kernel and also the gapps, you are violating many other agreements. That's why the other site has links to each GIT or repository and you have to download them seperate. This protects everyone as the source can be verified. If someone were to post a zipped up virus / Trojan / keylogger the end user would never know it. Also it's against XDA rules. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just XDA can be called out and has been called out in the past for distributing GAPPS and Linux Kernel without sighting the source.
Link removed, however it's ok to link to the dev's thread and discuss here. Unless you would also like to link to the source's where members can download and build their own roms. Thanks and I hope everyone understands.
Well I didn't see where he said no mirrors at all. But I know I've had problems with goo.gl or whatever it is in the past. Also I didn't claim it was my own. I'll just carry on helping at other sites instead then. Where the members aren't as technically minded and are constantly asking what they need and can't figure out the mess on rootzwiki, so having just one link helps them all no end.
I'm a new user here. I think a link in the first post in this discussion would be useful. A link to the download at rootzwiki is better than no link at all in my opinion but perhaps I am missing something and the link is actually posted somewhere?

The problem is that Dalingrin (one of the dev's that's been working on this project) has specifically asked that people NOT provide external links to his work. He wants to be able to keep track of how many people DL their stuff and do Q&A, via rootzwiki.
In an effort to not piss the guy off, some people respect his wishes.
thanks!!
Just wanted to say thank you.. good job and keep it up!!
Why is this the only ROM that takes over 4hrs to download and then its incomplete! I'm sorry, but it's just not worth the time.
Why didn't you post this in the rom's thread? If it just got released recently, it's possible the download server is overwhelmed.
To answer your question about download speeds, its the file host's problem. Finding a reliable/fast/cheap file sharing site at the moment is pretty difficult. And 4 hours of waiting, and having a invalid checksum/incomplete download? That's nothing worth to start a thread nor rant about, either inform the dev or don't download at all. It's nice to have all these devs contribute time to making a stable ICS ROM, but have unreliable host sites. Just try again is all I can say
Start deving and make your own roms.
I've Noticed This Being A Problem. I Can't Control The Bandwidth Over The Free File Sharing Sites. I'm Working On Setting Up A File Sharing Server On My Desktop.
I Really Don't Appreciate This Thread. WE ALL KNOW About Download Speeds From Servers. Sometimes It's Good And Sometimes Not So Good.
If You Are That Pissed Off, Go Make Your Own ROM And Go Host It On Your Own Unlimited Bandwidth Site.

mod, lock this ****ing thread... its pointless
thank you
Lol, he was probably trying to download it from his phone too.
Ignore the ungrateful jackasses, there are plenty of people that really appreciate all the work and time you guys put in to making these Rom's.
If you wanna be made at anyone, be mad at the people shutting down sites like megaupload.
I don't think your hate should go against our devs. It isn't their fault. I've been in the same situiation before and all I did was inform the dev and try again.

You might make a polite enquiry about why the download is slow, you might even sympathise about the difficulties of finding good download sites, but what you wrote is rude and implies criticism of the developer who is giving you something for FREE.
Whether you judge it "not worth the time" is something for you to decide, we aren't interested in trolling remarks!

Sense? :laugh::silly:

Take it easy? We aren't being harsh. There was no point in posting before you had a link other then try and get attention for yourself. It was pointless and as to saving time he could have typed it up using preview and then saved it on to his computer. We were just pointing out that he didn't need to post it yet, and it doesn't really make sense too. If he had wanted to get feedback and ask for opinions then maybe he should post something in general.

I have already got a link, its just my Dev-Host account got suspended for too much bandwidth usage :/
I am working on getting this resolved via contacting Dev-Host on twitter, they seem to have an IP Block on me for some reason, hopefully will be resolved shortly.
@WadeGeek, this wasn't a silly attempt to get attention, maybe you should get to know what people are like before you start making wild allegations.
To the others i am working to get this resolved and sorry for the delay, i wrote the OP when i was uploading the file last night, however the link failed.
I would upload to another site but DevHost usually works well and allows me to keep track of how many DL's etc.
What has less of a point, setting a place aside for a future link or posting to complain about it?
Either way to argue about it is pointless, it is the op's thread to do as he likes. If people take issue with it take it to the mods. Personally I think it is pretty ****ty that both of his threads have less than friendly post on the first page when all he is trying to do is learn how to develop and share his work
My two cents
Version 1
OK, so version 1 is up and my account is unblocked so its downloadable.
Please give em your opinions and requests and this will make it much easier and quicker for me to iron any issues out
I had to re-upload the file :/ but its thee now SORRY FOR THE DELAYS

The dev has talent and a promising future (if you're reading this I mean it, you do good work) but he's a high school student and frequently leaves the site and abandons his projects. Definitely try out his stuff (he'll probably be back) if you like to switch around ROMs but don't expect a long supported ROM.
Oh thanks for the answer I was looking at his past message but that particular was removed.
I'm around. Closed for reasons I'd rather not get into (though some around here have mouths bigger than their hearts). The response I left was childish and doesn't belong here. I'll be back
