im quite disappointed at what sony did with ics. the gui alone is not up to expectations. it looks exactly the same as GB on the surface. Sony could have done so much more but they stuck with the old. been using kamarush MINICMSANDWICH Lite AOSP with kamarush v2 kernal before i flashed the official ics. the minicm lite is so much beter. beter battery life. smoother & cleaner interface. the app drawer is so much more efficient. Sony just took GB gui and overlayed it over ics. compared to the icslite, the official one just looks like crap. Flashing back to miniicslite as i type this.
Cant wait to get the miniics lite update!!
This goes to show XDA people are beter and more advanced!!
Kamarush amazing ROM!

This is not true. You find the common things in Xperia GB and Xperia ICS becuase both are having the Timescape UI.
If to the contrary to what happened in reality, you were given with Kamarush's ICS ROM from the day one you owned your cell phone, you would love the ICS update by Sony. At least the UI.
The performance obviously is cooler in custom ROMs. That's why they are made at the first place. For better performance.
Anyways, it all depends on for how much time you used a thing. You get bored very soon. And thus you have the cool custom ROMs out here in XDA.
So, instead of signing with my usual thanks, I will sign as...
Happy Flashing,
Rick

i guess your right, but i just cant help but feel the timescape ui looks very clunky and square. the stock google ui is so much beter imo. sony could have tweaked the ui rather than just port the ui. but yeah thats what all the custom roms are for!! cant wait to see what the crazy roms get cooked up now that the official roms are out there!!
Actually the four cornered interface that sony uses, utilises the space available in small screens pretty well That's why they stuck to it. I don't think this UI will be changed. This is the most efficient IMO Well opinions differ. That's why some guy started rooting and modding
For me,it doesn't matter as I like Gingerbread and this ICS UI is same like Gingerbread but what dissapoint me is the ICS don't have the ICS toggle at the status bar T.T I saw many ICS phone with the toggle button but our ICS don't have any,but I'm glad they make the setting button on the status bar...

I did like most part of the ICS update except for these:
#1. There are certain areas in the ui which don't blend with the adjoining panels well.
#2. The light sensor is not used for automatic brightness and so now I'm stuck with fixed display brightness.
#3. The widgets still leave a lot to be desired.
#4. New camera ui is horrible.

I liked the update, as Sony stated in its blog, most features of ICS were already implemented in GB by Sony, but we have the most up-to-date Android version with all its bug fixes (and I mean BUGs, not simple cosmetic stuff, I'm talking security bugs) with the same known, useful and space aware UI. Not to mention apps compatibility.
I really dont care about the interface colors and stuff, even the camera is way easier to handle the way they did, not much clutter like some vendors do, and the shots are still awesome.
So far didn't hit a single bug, no FCs, no reboots, its rock solid, stable and even battery efficient, I'm getting the same battery time as in GB.

As I know just Galaxy phones (except Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus) and some Sense3 HTC devices have toggles out of the box...
I think you saw a picture of a CyanogenMod build, because with these ROMs you can have toggles by default.
I've seen toggles in notification area on HTC One V, stock ICS. Looks quite nice, would love to have it on my LWW.

there are toggles on the stock ics on the nexus. im on the trebuchet launcher with miniics lite and it has the toggles too. its an easy mod to do anyway!
btw i really like the trebuchet launcher. best launcher yet! looks very nice and very smooth!
I feel performance is apparently decreased compared to GB stock rom. Even games like Fruit Ninja & angry birds which ran butter like smooth on GB now have got some frame skipping or gliches. Its a bit annoying for me however I'm quit satisfied with new features.

I just want to know what you guys think.
I'm going to be using Bilboa's kernel on both so it's basically just which ROM is better?
I'm asking because tomorrow I have a state sponsored test and when I finish I'm going to be bored and I want to experiment with one these two ROMs. So what should I flash?
UI - GPS = MIUI
Android + bonus - GPS = CM7
Tough decision, my opinion. Neither will have great battery life.
I found MIUI to be sooo beautiful but it kept getting unstable and weird on the XDA app and some other white background apps (color) but I'm on cm7 and its great and a little more stable

My phone has the built in theme chooser.. but I also have the flashable themed zips that are VERY professional (and change everything)... AND, my phone doesn't look like an iPhone (MIUI).
I really prefer the stock android look CM7 brings to the table. Everyone has a preference, no need to knock one over the other. That goes to the person who called MIUI a cartoon theme too, MIUI is sexy... just not MY preference.
In my mind,neither CM nor MIUI,the battery life is the key point to me when I choose a rom to flash.
Since they use the same kernel you could set up Cm7 and do a nandroid.....then flash MIUI and set it up.....then do a nandroid for MIUI. Then you can switch back and forth in less than 5 min!
In my opinion MIUI is less buggy than CM7. MIUI went official and they have fixed almost everything. The only problem i have is that GPS does not work. The battery life is average if u flash version 1.4.15. MIUI's UI is so beautiful compared to CM7.
Again, our comes down to ui, stock android with features, our android that slept with iphone.
Latest cm7 releases are stable, just no gps/poor battery.
i like miui
Actually, both stuffer from similar problems, just that miui will have it fixed, whereas cm7 is unpredictable, but maybe cm7 can take and borrowfrom miui?
I've been using miui a my main rom for about a month now and love it to death. I'm not having any stability issues with all of my Apps. Granted the GPS blows but the Vibrant GPS has always sucked the big one. If I need to use GPS that bad I just put my sim in my G1 which has ****ing amazing gps.

^ agree with every word.
I haven't been on a different rom than miui for over a month.
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?

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?

I wouldn't be able to tell you why. Best bet is to e-mail the developer and see what he/she says.
Is it possible to do? I've gotten sense 4 multitasking on my nexus s so i was hoping it might be possible to get stock ics multitasking on my evo. I use multitasking a lot (even though its got its issues) but i prefer to see them in a list rather than swipe through each one.
people love to ***** about simple stuff lol
if you hate it so much return it
or wait for a AOSP rom like CM 9 or AOKP
dude, chill out. if youre gonna post such a negative response, why take out the time to post at all. smh. i love the phone.
I was wondering the same too. Sense 4 implementation looks more impressive and flashy for showing off to your friends but the stock ics implementation is much more usable.
The way you got the sense task switcher on another device, did it involve changing the framework?

hmm im not sure. an awesome developer over at the nexus s 4g thread made the mod. just flashed the zip and i was using sense 4 multitask. like you said, its cool to show off, but everyday use, i prefer stock (even though i enjoy most of sense)
It involves modification of the ROM's SystemUI. On the Nexus S, it was a matter of modifying the source code. On Sense 4, you're going to have to decompile and play with smali.

The charmeleon rom from the dev forum apparently has the option to change the multitasking, as well as the lockscreen, back to AOSP style. I'm testing it out right now and both tweaks are good to go. The only thing that is different from my modded ViperROM is that recent apps isn't mapped to menu anymore as joelz made some changes and that became non-functional for now.

Which option is the multitasking option?
I'm shocked that HTC hasn't made an attempt to fix this screw up. Regardless if they did it on purpose. Ok great, got it. But that was a bad idea and should be fixed. The multitasking is so annoying. I'll find myself filling out a form, then switch apps, then try to go back to the form and it reloads the page and kills everything I've filled out. AAAAHHHHH!!! Same with like copying and pasting a password from one app to another... I tried to ignore the hype about this issue while we waiting to receive our phones, but in the end, it really does get in the way. Can't wait for a vanilla android ROM.
Also, from what I've heard, there's not a single person on the planet that's actually happy about this. So why the heck isn't HTC changing it to appease everyone? Noone wants your stupid multitasking feature HTC! Shame on you.
EDIT: It is a sick phone though!

That's just a ui change, it doesn't change the way multitasking actually works.
In order to fix multi-tasking, you have to adjust the memory values which Viper's ROM does. Then it works fine no matter which multi-task UI you use...

You can try Romow N4 ROM. It is a Sammy based ROM with NOVA launcher pre-installed, without any bloatwares, dioxidized and rooted to the likes of many. The only reason in my case where I find this particular ROM great is that there are many features included in it such as in-built call-recorder(stalker app I know) 2 camera apps(Original Sammy and a Nexus's I believe?) , no touchwheeze and bloatwares, no lag on keyboard operations(usually found in many custom jelly bean ROMS) just to name a few. I was on CM10 before but found this a tad better especially for the fact that my OEM(China made RED cables) MHL adaptor works fine with this ROM unlike the latter. So you can give this one a try, it has been my daily driver for about a few days now.

Do you mean DEODEXED ?
You know that performance-wise, deodexing a ROM is a huge step backwards, right?
I found absolutely no advantages in the ROM mentioned (Romow N4), and everything it provides can either be installed from the Play Store or uninstalled using Titanium Backup. Besides, it probably is MUCH, MUCH SLOWER than a stock, odexed ROM.
The only advantage of deodexing a ROM is to allow for theming the ROM by changing the resources some apps use (like the framework itself).

Also true, but that's not something the regular user (which I believe is the case here) will do, or even know how to do. Therefore, my general advice for those who don't know the difference, is to simply avoid deodexed ROMs.
Just use foxhound with an theme

you can simply freeze touchwiz home and use nova or apex or any other launcher out there and still enjoy the other goodies from samsung.
Everyone talks about Apex and Nova launchers but Holo is the best of them all in my opinion it's just not as widely known as the others, check it out from the market (quite similar to Apex actually but better IMO)
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.
