My ROM Update Iced Bean 2.1 is about to release within no time :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: . in the last moment i have few questions to know from the users about their choice:
1. Do you want on screen navigation buttons?(Yap! I enabled it :victory
2. What apps do you want to pre-installed in ROM?(sorry I can't add AROMA cause i don't have much knowledge about it)
3. What improvements & tweaks do you want?
4. What is mostly needed in a ROM for daily use. (eg: Speed, Smoothness, Battery-life, Multitasking etc)
5. What about trebuchet launcher or HOLO Launcher HD as default home/Launcher?​
****Please ans ASAP cause i'm about to release it within next 1 or 2 days.
ROM RELEASED!!!​

I'd prefer battery life, and no frills cpu control, walkman, terminal emulator, Titanium backup. Good luck..!

Daily Use
I prefer Smoothness... eg Project Butter, enabling Vsync, I don't really multitask, but it can be achieve through Supercharger.

I prefer speed and gaming performance, wifi range tweak, sd etc...

1. Do you want on screen navigation buttons?
No I do not.
2. What apps do you want to pre-installed in ROM?
Titanium Backup
4. What is mostly needed in a ROM for daily use?
Smoothness
Battery-life

Smoothness and Gaming performance C: i'll try your rom in your next update n,n

1-)mm i would love onscreen bottons, but if u disable the hardward bottons , 2-) mm maybe just some good wallpapers. 3-) i just really need good battery/performance phone.

No onscreen navigation buttons for me.
Smoothness & Battery Life
Pre-installed: xparts, titanium backup

+1。。。and i dont like aroma 。。。the files are so big。。

enable buttery smoothness
enable xperia v apps like movies,album and walkman

Battery Life and smoothness.
Apps that I would like to see in your ROM: Walkman (ThilianC/Acid Team), Root Explorer
Don't like Aroma anyways. Waiting patiently for your next ROM release

Battery life & smoothness (smooth even when under clocked to 800MHz).
Please don't add walkman. I don't want walkman because I would flash acid audio engine for n7 player (which will not work with walkman). So it would be better to leave that to user
choice. Maybe add a link, from where the user can flash it.
Apps: No frill cpu controller , a file browser (ES/ root browser lite)
Eagerly waiting for your update.

Sorry. Most users prefers Walkman. & AC!D is integrated in my ROM. so don't worry.

No issues.. The decision is yours.
Also please mention the recommended kernel & settings in the post.

Well i'm just try to make the ROM as most users prefers. & 3rd party apps can be easily installed from Playstore

First of all, prepare most light ROM without all apps which can be install from market. I prefer classical ics dialer without any modification or theme, it could be very fast, because in more ROM its very slow to open dialer for example. Good idea would be possibility to change lockscreen wallpaper, transparent status bar, notification toogles in sharp colours, percentuage battery icon, i like black white theme, dont need more colorful ROM, and it could be very stable, smooth and battery friendly.

Do you want on screen navigation buttons?
No I don't.
2. What apps do you want to pre-installed in ROM?
Stock camera
3. What improvements & tweaks do you want?
All tweaks from iced bean 1, but with Xperia T home, because with gx home the camera mod 4.2 doesn't work. About the status bar, I prefer the xperia gx status bar.
aosp lock screen only, others things like contacts, settings etc.. stock
4. What is mostly needed in a ROM for daily use.
Smoothness, gaming performance.

I use others players. I dont like Walkman (for me unlocked BL, downloading audio data does not work ). I use Xperia launcher with HomePreferences. .

Is this possible in a current ROM?

Hi,
I am looking for a ROM which will allow me to :
1. Decent battery life- performance not a problem. So no OC
2. AOSP lock screen (sliding)
3. Samsung browser (only because I like my 'clickable' phone numbers, and i found stock browser wont do it for me.. only the samsung)
4. I dont like all those fancy icons (i.e. on the notification drawer) i prefer stock standard.
is this possible? or am I asking for too much?

{RANT} Y NO Smooth UI !!!!

Okay, I'm 15 i started getting into android about 5 mounths ago with my good'ol "Samsung galaxy ace" after using it for about 3 mounths i decided that i needed a higher res screen and a proc capable of playing most main stream games (GTA. Nova 2. Minecraft etc). So i bought my beloved neo for theses reasons:
1. 1GHz Proc
2. 265 DPI (854x480)
3. 512mb RAM
After about 2 mounths usage i can't seem to understand how all UI interactions are faster and smoother on my Galaxy Ace?
No matter what ROM (ICS or GB) with whatever kernel I can't get my neo to live up to the smoothness of STOCK Galaxy ace rom, let alone a tweaked rom.
It makes no sense to me how a phone with a faster and better proc and more ram can't achive the same smooth UI
If anyone can explain to me what i can do to improve UI smoothness or how UI scrolling smoothness works in roms etc THEN I BEG YOU TELL ME!
(IF ANYONE SAYS "Buy an Iphone" I WILL REMOVE THERE SCROTUM WITH A BLUNT SPOON)
Roms i've tried:
ALL ics rom (apart from miui) (ICS roms are WAY too laggy for usage)
Most gingerbread roms apart from:
SE tweaked (couldent get it working)
any MIUI (Y WOULD I WANT MY PHONE TO LOOK LIKE AN IPHONE APPLE ARE ****)
I have treid super charge on lots of roms, dont really see or feel difference to scrolling.
Currently im using Stock .62 as it is by fair the smoothest rom for neo.
Thanks for anyone who can point me in right direction or explain y UI isnt smooth.
Sorry for ranting, Josh. (moonytoonyking)
root and launchers
I dont know if this would help you but, have you tried installing replacement launchers? such as Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher EX? they have both smooth UI scrolling interface. Also smooth app drawer UIs. In fairness to Xperia Neo, It has smooth scrolling. Are you sure you are not running too much apps in the background which makes your device slower? Are you rooted? If you are rooted, then I bet you get control of your device, Disabling (unnecessary) background apps, taking control of your CPU/RAM. You could also install Chainfire 3d which would help you a lot in playing games (in terms of hardware enhancements)
Give us details about your mobile, and I mean details so we could help you out mate.
If you're looking for absolute smoothness go for cm7.2, but use other launcher than adw, it lags, at least for me.
Have you tried cm9? it is the fastest rom ive ever tried, i tweaked it for faster and battery friendly.
And its awesome mate.

Have you ever considered about the fact that comparing to Neo,galaxy ace got a lower resolution.Anyway try removing bloatware and use a custom launcher like apex.

lol
There are loads of way to make your phone faster and smoother this is how I do it
1: Over Clock to the highest possible even tho it says recommended not to lol just wack it up lol
2: Memory Booster - I like this app just because ever 10 mins I set it up to boot to get ram back up
3: Launcher on ICS at the min so I been using Apex or Nova launcher on gingerbread I would use ADW or Stock
4: SD Maid - Clears all the junk that your phone make for you from internet and other apps
IPHONE IS THE BAIN OF ALL LIFE ..MY WIFE WANTS ONE I AM GONNA GET HER ONE JUST FOR THE FACT SHE CAN GIVE ME HER NEO AS ITS BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED UNLIKE MINE LOL
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
it's rather strange for you to tell me Neo's Scolling is laggy...
to me...it is more smooth than SII and iPhone 4... without root and mod.
U may try 3rd launcher like SPB Shell, AdW EX, Go EX and Launcher Pro.
Also, u may want to enable GPU rendering (HW acc.) of launcher
Hope these help...
I suggest you to use this ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570499 combined with Apex Launcher and NightElf kernel v1.0 RC2 lite...The only problem is that many games aren't optimized for ICS,but the UI it's way smoother than Galaxy S2 or even Galaxy Nexus,plus that the battery life is amazing (use setCpu to underclock the processor when screen is off,i'm using it @245-460 mhz w screen off,and 245-1024 mhz in normal use,and battery life is deffinitely improved (in stand-by it drained 1% in 5 hours).
Thanks for all the replies
I've tried a load of launchers my fav for GB being ADW and for ICS being Apex.
they work well and usaly improve smoothness. BTW i agree that neo is smoother than Gs2 (on stock) but not Galaxy Nexus, that is super smooth.
I have root.
Overclock helps to an extent but if rom is unsmooth it dosent do much.
Havent tried that I-scream ROM as i have found that all SEMC based ICS roms LAG really badly, however since you recomend it i will try. I have been reading up on things like swap and zram but im not sure if they will improve my speed much?
Again thanks for all the help I LOVE XDA'ers

Cm7.2 is kinda smooth at first but after i install my apps (i only have like 20) smoothness isnt good.
OH an yes the default adw with cm7.2 LAGS LIKE A MOTHER *****

If you still experience some lag, try turning off scrolling cache, force disable, on cm options.
I have about 30 apps i install and don't experience any lag.
Sort of glad to see i'm not the only one having issues with adw.

Not bad but stock .62 is smoother by alot still, shame i love ICS. I actualy found the AOSP rom to be the smoothest ICS rom but it has many bugs

You've used Apex Launcher? Because i know that stock launcher is very laggy.I'm currently using this rom with apex launcher and on-screen buttons,and i'm never going back to gingerbread.

Apex improved it alot, but still not smooth, cm9 amazes me its sooooos smooth but buggy and sturf dosent work.
the smoothness of the rom is always tied to the framework files sony didn't optimize it well in their ICS release....

i can't do it myself but back in the days when i had an x8 ginger bread was laggy on it and a guy called doixanh or something fixed it by optimizing the framework and it became very smooth silky smooth
FINALY: CM 7.2 (fxp17) with disabled scrolling cache Is SUPER SMOOTH im very happy, hopefuly cm9 will be this smooth when its done.

Your favourite miui or cyanogemod feature

Ok so i just made this thread to find out what features you guys like whether on cyanogenmod or miui.
i currently have a locked bootloader but working to unlock it so which means i am using miui rom.
my favourite feature in this rom is the graphics and the online music i can listen directly to all the playlist.
so post yours as well
Better remove the Off-topic from OP... Otherwise some mod will move it to OFF TOPIC forum and Archer will definitely lock it in OT
MIUI- awesome music player, countless themes, looks beautiful,fast, but no app drawer
CM- it's CyanogenMod , better support for my phone
Beautiful beautiful miui interface
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
miui....so many themes to chose from..n that torch feature in lockscreen press n hold home button for torch...datzz my fav ..vry usefull for me...
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
hmmmm...between Miui and CM????
okay here is my favourite between both of them....
------- MiUi -------
1. built-in call/msg blocker (firewall)
2. built-in MiUi backup
3. themes can be customizes
4. fully customizes status bar (control panel)
5. lockscreen is differents on each themes
6. MiUi music player (the best)
7. LBE Guard (got a few extras apps such as App control)
8. Stable and fast
------ CM ------
1. Frequently Updated
2. Plenty of themes (can be downloaded from market)
3. Stable and fast (depend on which CM do you use)
4. App drawer
Errrr...couldn't find more on CM cause i'm new using CM
I really like the features of Cyanogenmod and that it's not so hard to compile updates on my PC. But MIUI has a beautiful interface, too
I would choose Cyanogenmod: Best features and best style! AOSP
I like MIUI security app which allows fine privileges management for all apps (GPS access, phone state, etc.)

You can do that on cm10 too and it actually works better.....
Tbh they are both my favourite roms. Miui is very well "built" allowing for total customization of your phone with very easy to mod themes. Also i love the contacts sorting options, like only show contacts with phone numbers and the possibility of removing avatars from contacts and sms.
CM is faster and snappier, with miui i always have a little lag when turning on and unlocking lockscreen and when receiving calls, cm is smoooth like butter.
CM10 base and miui theme engine instead of t-mobile, i think that wouod be the ultimate rom...

IcySnap tweaks?

Hi.
I'm using XPERIAICS ROM beacuse i can't live without XPERIA UI, but neko95's IcySnap is faster, as far as i know it has some tweaks for faster speed, and it's really smooth. Is there any download link for these tweaks,or they are icySnap-exclusive (wich will be bad).
if u knw to extract them well .. you can use them for your personal use... neko would not mind that... but if you make it public with some other rom.. then you must atleast tell him about it.. :fingers-crossed:
we need his permissions to remove the tweaks and make it public.. ask him :good: he would surely help
It's just if IcySnap had XPERIA UI i would love to use it as it's the best ICS ROM for O1, and it's truly fast, even faster than CM7, but XPERIA UI is XPERIA UI and it's a dealbreaker for me
I just want the tweaks,nothing else, so i can enjoy smooth ROM,as i have some lags with XPERIA ICS and low game framerate,
> the latest ICySNAP is already applicable to any theme you want.. just install a theme a launcher and widgets you like.. you'll have it on the ROM.
I think that the problem is that the features and changelogs are TOO detailed. Lol. I read that, but I rtfm as much as possible

[rom][gsm] zeus-whiteout v1

Tired of that plain old Black System UI over and over well I present to you my my masterpiece (ZEUS-WHITEOUT)
Stock ICS 4.0.4
Full Holo White system theme yes you've read right Full Holo White System theme:good:
(few minor text colors and battery display errors to fix) ROM still fully useable
Modded White SystemUI

X-Loud, ViperFX&HIfi sound enhancement removed stock sound enhancement FC error
Honami Settings and Widgets
Xperia Z launcher
Tablet style keyboard (Xperia)

Credits
