which do you prefer?
I prefer andy's gingerbread rom. It's really fast, smooth and stable with a awesome battery life. Everything works great, no important bugs for me at all. I'm really satisfied.

I prefer andy's rom too
Miks ROM i like personally
Is Andy's ROM feature-complete relative to the stock LG ROM?
andy's rom is not cwm compatible

No, you are wrong, it is compatible with clockworkmod, that's why I flashed his rom.
Read the first post in andy's thread. It says that he has added support to ClockworkMod and removed support for AmonRA.

IMHO mik's rom is more stable, but Andy's rom have better battery life and feels a bit faster. I am yet to try Noejn's version.
Btw thanks to all three of them for great community work. We couldn't enjoy our phones as much without their support
I prefer mik's because andy's sucked my phone dry in under 20h.
I flashed and reflashed it and still nothing. Made sure to delete, wipe everything, format everything, and still 10% battery drain every hour.
I don't know what's wrong with it but something is definitely wrong.
I installed mik's and everything is back to normal with good battery life.
One should consider the differences:
Njoelns GB misses a lot of system apps
Andys GB has crappy bluetooth audio, so you cannot use it hands-free
Miks GB seems to have the most features
I had very bad battery drain with Miks and Andys ROMs, even after calibrating, but I stopped testing them 4 weeks ago (need a workable phone sometimes ;-), so they may have changed that.
I am back to Ciaox-Froyo, which has very good battery life for my usage profile.
Using Mik's CM7..havnt used any other..its almost complete & i am lovin it ..

oh good to know thanks
I tried mik's and andy's ROMs, and i really liked both of them, they are as good each other.
But i prefer andy's ROM because it includes the new LG theme, and i really like that one
thanks for all your responses! but, is andy's kernel better than franco's? i want to flash a new rom because i want to experience something new for my phone
Mik's ROM
(+)
stable
more apps
performs well on all games
(-)
Battery becomes too hot sometimes
Battery Drain is huge during calls other times its fine
Noejn's ROM
(+)
the interface seems to be very smooth
gaming performance is same as MIK's, i found no difference between the two rom's performance wise
(-)
nothing really, has less apps but if you have titanium backup you can load all your apps and data anyway
some tabs in setting like volume and display brightness give you force closes
------------------------
i don't use GPS, and Data and Sync are always off both perform same battery back up wise
and i use franco kernel most updated one
Going to try Andy's ROM in a few mins

Andy's rom:
1. Stable
2. Excellent performance in games/No lag whatsoever
3. No battery drain if you calibrate the battery, and let the battery to settle down.
4. Gingerbread makes it special
5. Nice new icons/style which makes the rom more sweet
6. I love it.
-
Nothing except the known bugs posted by Andy.
using Andy's ROM right now, Everything's fine no problems so far
i have not yet done any battery calibration.
+ Battery drain 2% 7hrs (i.e. not used the phone a all). Runs cooler than MIK's i think, i' m not yet completely sure
+ Performance isn't any different from other GB rom's, its just as good
- screen take a little more time to wake with the push of button, but can get used to it
its a actually a difficult choice to select one best GB ROM out of three... all are good
Hello everyone
I flashed my o1 with v20g (romania) using KDZ and for 2 days have been using the GB. Everything is fine but I noted that :
1- Feels slower than Froyo 2.2.2
2- The battery drains pretty fast not more than 16 h of battery. On Froyo I could get 2 days no problem.
My question is : GB was supposed to be faster and with better battery life or not?
Any solution or other room to use like v20c?
Or simply get back to 2.3.4 the Andy version?
Help.......

Hi there...
The answer is yes...it goes faster and has better battery life.
But nothing compared to andy's which is...very long battery backup
I had battery drain also on first success attempt of flashing, the second time went well...fast (well not that fast) and cold-long batt life...about a day last.
My suggestion is to reflash or to use any version which flashable through recovery, that means you dont have to patch lower baseband for andy's.
Regards
thanks for the answer
this means that on O1 the gingerbread did not gave what promised so what should be the solution?
Not use the official version of GB 2.3.3?
Well I'm not sure about exactly the 'promised' things..
But I can assure you that the official GB works very different than Froyo, the lagginess, the unresponsive touch and ramp up frequencies when you touch the screen, well its long gone for now.
Even that I used to have custom ROMs flashed in my O1, which were fast and had long lasting battery, I still like the official anc currently using one.
I think you should reflashed it or..use the official ROM from the dev section
Try Ginger lol 1.5, if you want a faster official rom. Its really fast.

Yes, its excellent in performance and battery as compared to official rom.
Hey guys I love all these custom ROM's but honestly the battery gets drained so fast it takes the fun out of it. I was wondering if there was any specific ROMs that were easier on the battery>?? The only feature I truly use on these things is the wifi tether, other than that I don't care if the phone is a litte slower etc, i just want to be able to make it a day on 1 battery..TIA
I can easily make it a full day with the PowerWashed 2.0b3. Yet I also have Juice Defender Ultimate installed.
Ill be quite honest, gingerbread is not what its cracked up to be imo... I have found that powerwashed 1.2 ed05 froyo w/ pbj 0808 kernal is one of the most stable roms out there. Im getting between 1.5-2% percent battery drain per hr. That means I go 2 days without charging the phone with normal use. Heavy use such as browsing the internet for a couple hrs and sending dozens of texts usually equates to charging the battery once a day or slightly better. The only issue is not all fascinates play nice with the -100 undervolt that the pbj kernal has built in. If thats the case, then just run the otb fusion kernal that come with pw 1.2...battery life is still good(2.5% per hr) and you can overclock with that kernal, but truthfully overclocking does not really improve much imo.
Wow thanks guys! Yea I am on MIUI and its horrible.. I will look into the ROMs you guys suggested..thanks!
vanilla gb is insane. running with the glitch 9/15 kernel, undervolted, smartass, noop and usas tweak applied, simply the fastest rom i've ever used battery is also holding up really well, but I have the naztech 2400 installed just yesterday, so battery should only get better with more charges. pwgb is also really good, but the file system is still samsung rfs, which is really slow. Pw froyo is probably the better choice for most people with pbjt kernel which has voodoo. Ill stick with vgb and see how battery does and if it doest yield me 6hrs of screen on time ill switch back to pw froyo and see how it does.

your phone will freeze up...if it didnt your good to go! Make sure you wipe battery stats in cwm or it will take few charge cycle before you get good battery life.

Ok sweet! Yea, everything seems to be good, only issue I am having is in BLN it says the Biblight isnt working or something like that..Voodoo control is g2g, just the BLN. I'll have to look into it
I had the same problem with bln not working on this kernel. What worked for me was to flash the older 0531 kernel first,then flash the 0808 kernel. Bln works fine after that.

Actually pwgb beta 3 with adrenaline shot mod is yielding some crazy results for me. Screenshots to follow when battery decides its held on long enough.
Only my 2nd day on ED05 powerwashed w/ pbj0808, but man I must be doing something wrong. At BEST my battery is draining roughly 5% an hour and thats with practically little to no use. NO clue how you guys are getting such good battery life...
Seriously, just odin the pwgb and flash the adrenaline v7 and thank me later.

What kind of programs do you have open/on, on a daily basis? I found that twitter absolutely destroyed my battery. I actually turned notifications off unless its a DM or @ me, otherwise I just open Plume and refresh to read the timelines.
Its doing A LOT better since then. I haven't used the phone much, but its only at 75% and Its 140pm, been off the charger since 6am
I am gonna see how it is this weekend when I am actually using it more
@Droidstyle: I was thinkin of trying out for starters the rom you recommended "powerwash 1.2 ed05 froyo w/ pbj 0808 kernal" but when i did a search for powerwash 1.2 the thread mentioned that it was outdated and to try gingerbread...just a little confused since i'm still new at this: considering my samsungs fascinate uses this base band (this is the general info of my phone Model : SCH-I500
Firmware Version 2.2.2
Baseband Version: S:I500.04 V.ED05
Kernel: Version 2.6.32.9 )
i will have to use a rom that supports ED05? or am i okay to try out any of these roms? did a lot of reasearch today, just trying to narrow it down as to which rom will be the most apt for me (meaning which one will i get the best use out of) and what will i be able to do after that? do i apply themes from the themes section, or i can only do that if they correspond to that specific rom? to anyone in the room please enlighten me, i've spent almost all of today researching this and would greatly appreciate help from the experienced...

Im not sure why he did that... Its a very functional rom and is up to date as much as it needs to be. Read my guide, uses that rom for an example on how to install a froyo rom. You are not limited to what your base band shows, you can flash 2.3.4 gingerbread roms if u like,, but they still have a few minor bugs. Actually 2.2.2 pw 1.2 ed05 is the most functional rom up to date imo... everything lse still has minor bugs to work out.
@DroidStyle thanks man, your guide to flashing power wash is pretty direct, but i'm a little lost here...Isn't the Rom mgr. program you install for the market used for flashin the Roms so that you don't have to odin the rom to the fascinate? also, can I apply whatever themes? ...ie: are those used to customize ur GUI?

Stay away from rom manager!!!! It only works for the mtd based roms such as cm7, miui, aosp... even then odin is a much more reliable way to work with the fascinate. imo just get use to the fact that your going to have to use odin most of the time when flashing.
which rom is better in terms of speed, performance, stability and battery life between the two !!
those who have experienced both the roms pls reply ??
thanks !! !
I don't do benchmarks. That said, both roms are stable and good on battery life (which varies wildly, of course, depending on how you use your phone!). I charge my phone every 1.5 days on average, with light/moderate usage. If I'm using it to mirror Netflix and watch movies, I'll plug it in.
Between the two, I went with Nottachtrix simply because it's based on the latest 4.5.141 update; Darkside is based on 4.5.91 I do believe.
nott the latest versions are pure garbage, there is a new version every day correcting their own mistakes by not doing enough testing before launching a new version, ahy to be every day installing all equipment from 0
I like nottachatrix over darkside. It's a better and more up to date ROM and it has updates.

Im using nottachtrix 1.2.9b and my ATRIX goes to sleep and does not wake up at random times, I have to do a battery pull to bring it back. I originally installed 1.2.3 and it did the same. I wiped before installing, so I don't understand what the problem is... but I might be installing a different ROM due to this problem. Can someone point me in the right direction with recommending something good (with toggles in status bar)
I haven't tried neither of them but I'm thinking of going with NOTTACHTRIX since it's basically the original rom/kernel that's been tweaked. I find the original kernel a lot better because it doesn't overheat as much as other kernels.
Seems that every ROM I look at in here has a bunch of issues. I'm coming over from the OG Evo, and know nothing about photon's development- although I get the gist its an underappreciated device. Just looking for something to make it worth rooting the photon, which is a great phone imo.

have you tried CM9? sure theres a few bugs but its my daily. otherwise i hear that miui is turning out pretty good but i havnt flashed it myself for a few builds. you could always try cm7 or rokko also.
CM7 and CM9 are the best. Use both of them, CM7 is more stable and all works, but CM9 is very smooths and awesome!

As quick as it is to root the Photon I would do it just for the ability to use root apps. Then, try some of the custom locked roms available before you unlock. CM9 is a great rom but still a beta and has issues such as camera, signal, battery, etc. which is to be expected.
I still prefer the stock rom just because of full functionality, battery life, and signal quality but there are many good custom roms based off stock builds (which I have not tried) that might work well for you.
Running CM7 here and am happy with that as my daily driver. Not brave enough to try CM9 but that's just my personal preference/bias. Joker's non CM9 roms & Lokifish Marz's roms are also good choices.
Three great roms:
-CM7 (KANG)
-ROCKO 3.0 (NOT 3.5)
-Imperium Initiative 1.04
As for which is better... It's a tossup. CM7 last longer, but ROCKO feels more fluid and user friendly. CM7 is more technical...
CM9 is very impressive but it is a beta.

I'd like to quickly point out that Jokersax's CyanogenMod 9 beta is honestly pretty stable. The camera, MMS, signal, and battery life is very much exceeding my expectations, considering this is a rom that is labelled as a beta.
I'd also like to state my opinions towards the OP's original question: In order of stability, here is what I would recommend.
1-Stock. (obviously).
2-HomeBase
3-CyanogenMod 7.2
4-RockoRom 3.0 (3.5 is good as well, but based on experience I recommend 3.0)
5-Jokersax's CyanogenMod 9, link is in the beginning of my post.
6-Imperium Initiative
Finally, 7-[email protected]/[email protected]
The rom I use the most is Jokersax's CyanogenMod 9. It's a very good rom.
Quickly-- One last thing. If you DO flash a rom, please please please PLEASE do not complain about the battery life until you do these steps:
~Let your battery drain to 0%
~Charge your battery to 100%
~Wipe battery stats via the advanced menu in a custom recovery(recommended), or an application
~Drain battery to 0%, then charge to 100%.
Then you can complain about the battery life... if it's bad, that is. Lol.
MoPho on, my friend!

I was comparing CM9 to stock and there is no way CM9 has better battery than stock. Not even close. In my experience with running CM roms on multiple devices they all seem to drain the battery more I would assume due to the kernels used. I know this doesn't really have anything to do with stability but relates to the overall feel of the OP question I think which is why I mentioned it.
With that said roms are going to run different for each user especially with a beta build.

I don't quite remember saying that the battery life was better than stock... But surely sir, you must be doing something wrong. I have 2 photons running cm9, one is activated and one is not, the one that is activated has the minimum at 216 mhz and the max at 1300 mhz, and it's usual cpu is going at 800mhz-ish. the one that is not activated is clocked to the max at 1300mhz constantly, min is 1300 and max is obviously 1300. they both run roughly the same amount of time before dying, usually 7/8hrs. with stock, not rooted, my batter lasts anywhere from 8-9hrs being heavily used.
I never said that the battery life was better than stock on cm9, i said it was EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS FOR A BETA. Sir, you honestly should double check the post of which you're criticizing before you make such an accusation.
And of course roms are going to be different for everybody, depending on how they use it and what they do with it. I've only tweaked jokersax's build to fix the mms issue, as his fix doesn't help. my fix helps ME, but considering the fact that jokersax's fix works for plenty of others, that obviously points out the fact that roms run differently for everybody.
One last thing; who's cm9 build are you talking about? because you mentioned bugs, and jokersax's barely has any. the battery life issue has a solution that can be found at the end of my first post. please, read it.

I will say it.... jokers cm9 roms battery life kick the crap out of stock. It does have some pretty annoying bugs tho.... like everytime you rotate the screen while using the browser it force closes, or the camera that doesn't take great pictures...mainly with the flash. But other than that it does work pretty well.
I did just switch to cm7 and while everything on it seems to work great, the battery life is no where near as good as cm9.
Btw both I have Max CPU at 1000.

Really? For me, the camera's damnnear perfect. huh. But yeah, the rotation isn't great, but I never use rotation. It pisses me off, lol. The only thing atm that makes me mad is that google play won't let me download anything because I'm not on an official android rom. Anyone else have this problem?

Go to settings, apps, stop Google play, clear its data, restart phone.

Yeh, tried that lmao. And i tried clearing market updater, tried downloading older version, i tried alot of things i just gave up haha.
But I'll post about this on a different thread, we gotta stay on topic. Thanks for trying to help me!
I flashed back last night and tried taking pictures with dark light.... I found if I use the button on the screen instead of the button on the side of the phone it takes much better pictures. All in all I can't wait till this Rome gets the bugs worked out.... but to be on topic it is a pretty good daily rom.

True. Very true. I've found that the vibrate goes on/ off though. Doesn't bother me, but it ciuld bother others

I don't quite remember saying that the battery life was better than stock... But surely sir, you must be doing something wrong. I have 2 photons running cm9, one is activated and one is not, the one that is activated has the minimum at 216 mhz and the max at 1300 mhz, and it's usual cpu is going at 800mhz-ish. the one that is not activated is clocked to the max at 1300mhz constantly, min is 1300 and max is obviously 1300. they both run roughly the same amount of time before dying, usually 7/8hrs. with stock, not rooted, my batter lasts anywhere from 8-9hrs being heavily used.
I never said that the battery life was better than stock on cm9, i said it was EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS FOR A BETA. Sir, you honestly should double check the post of which you're criticizing before you make such an accusation.
And of course roms are going to be different for everybody, depending on how they use it and what they do with it. I've only tweaked jokersax's build to fix the mms issue, as his fix doesn't help. my fix helps ME, but considering the fact that jokersax's fix works for plenty of others, that obviously points out the fact that roms run differently for everybody.
One last thing; who's cm9 build are you talking about? because you mentioned bugs, and jokersax's barely has any. the battery life issue has a solution that can be found at the end of my first post. please, read it.

I will only comment on a few items because we could go about this all day with really no positive outcome and the thread will be hijacked.
First, I am not doing anything wrong. This is not my first rodeo. Yes, I know about the battery "conditioning" steps at the end of your post. This is part of flashing 101. With what I am running on my phone it just wasn't the life I needed it to be.
With that said I agree with you on CM9 exceeding expectations. Great rom but OP was looking for a stable rom and beta versions have bugs.
We can agree to disagree and put it to rest?
