Is there anyone who can tell me difference between oxygen and cm7
There are many Rom but I really don't know what they are different from
Sorry for my poor English .......

well, afaik the gb version is deodexed and that makes it faster or something, also, it doesn't have a lot of options present on the cyanogenmod roms
Oxygen is a very stripped down rom, while cyanogenmod 7 has a lot of features. Some people prefer oxygen others prefer cm7, it all depends on what you want. Which one is faster and which one gives the best battery life is debatable. I personally prefer cm7, but they're both great roms and I'd recommend you give both roms a try.
I think cm7 and oxygen roms both are based on cyanogenmod.
Both are great roms try both and choose best suits for you.
There is no theme Chooser in oxygen rom but it is there in cm7.

Both are AOSP roms. Oxygen is highly optimized for speed and being light and minimal as CM7 is for added features.

You mentioned AOSP, which make me remember another ROM, AOKP (maybe bad spelling!!!)
Is AOKP the rom which has an unicorn as its mark? I've flashed that rom to enjoy 4.0
I like the ROM most
Can anyone tell what its feafures are?
Thx for all your helping

AOSP is the standard "made by Google" Android project. EVERY rom derives from this. Even the stock roms.
Both CyanogenMod and Oxygen are modifications/branches from the standard AOSP source trees. Both attempt to fix or enhance what Google achieved with Android. The main difference here are features.
Oxygen is more true to AOSP, with a few additions. Lean, clean and pretty fast. When you start adding apps to make up for missing features like I do since I miss some CM features, it does start to slow down a bit.
CyanogenMod (CM7/9/10) adds a whole bunch or neat features you would usually use other apps for to get the same functionality.
AOPK like CM adds a whole bunch of features that are not available in CM and also shares quite a few, Theme Chooser for instance.
Like previously stated, its all about personal preference. Android is about choice, you get to choose what you want your device to do. The best way to find out, is choose the features you need. Test them all and decide for yourself. Each rom brings its pros and cons, which for the most part balances out. Personally I like CM roms because I like the features and they give me a device more capable than the stock rom.

When cm gets released will it be faster than most roms here or the same?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Open ended question, if you over clock any of these roms, then that will be the faster rom regardless of which rom you pick...... you could strip down the rom to assist in making it faster, delete All apps not needed,,,,,,,,,,etc so too many other variables to consider than just a rom.......
I have been running CM7 and MIUI on my SGSII but i cant make my mind up which one to stick to.
I like some things on CM7 but i also like the UI of MIUI, how easy would it be to merge both roms togeather with what i want from each rom?
I would like to use CM7 as the base as it seems to run nicer than MIUI but i like MIUI's mods and notification drop down but dont want MIUI's homescreen, also i think CM7's camera is alot better than MIUI's, also a few other bits that i cant remember.
Only problem i have is lack of knowledge about making roms etc, if anyone does have this knowledge and agrees with me and would like to make a rom like this i would help the best way i can etc.
What are your thoughts?

yep, I would go this way. try CM7 with Go Launcher EX for example...
Use CM7,
Install this theme for Theme Chooser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189723&highlight=MIUI+CM7
Install Go Launcher EX+MIUI theme
OR
Install this launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220695
You can find more themes for QQLauncher:http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=89487960
Miui uses CM7 as a base and builds off it so its already merged (kinda).
Your best bet would be to pick the one you prefer, and fix/replace the things you dont like with after market apps.
I know this isnt what you wanted to hear but im afraid it's your only option.
afaik there has never been a miui/CM7 hybird.
By the sounds you want to -
Install MIUI
Install ADW launcher from the market and use that
Get a copy of the camera APK from CM7 and use that instead of MIUIs camera (sure I did this back on my SGS1)
You can pretty much get what you are after then.
Yea i know miui is already based on cm7.
Think i may use miui and then change the launcher and try and pick a few system apk's from cm7 that i want.
I take it cm7 apk's will run fine on miui seen as its running the same base?

I prefer CM7, I don't like the interface of MIUI. (yes, I just said that)
I want Android, not some iOS-nonsense.
No offense to bmarko, your doing a great job porting it.
I notice some roms say CM-10
So the case here is these roms are usually based off the stock rom with a few twists OR if it's a CM10 rom its built from scratch up and some features may not work?
So why get CM10 roms over stock roms with a twist(King Kang,GubmentCheeze,BlackStar) because these stock influenced roms look like the rom that came with my note when I got it 4 days ago but just added a few themes and maybe changed the CPU speed or something.
I'm just trying to figure out the whole CM10 thing that you see in the title of most roms
Cm10 is cyanogenmod 10. In my opinion a much cleaner and smoother android. The other ROMs are mostly based off official ICS update. Scattered around are some more specialty versions of android like Paranoid.

Hello every1
I have been a fan of CM roms since I can remember having an Android phone, always loved the feeling of a clean Android Software.
Too bad samsung always packs touchwiz on its software, I hate its launcher, the icons, the settings menu, notification bar... Everything on it!
The problem I ham having is that going with CM based roms nowadays implies having to leave most of the amazing features of this phone behind, like its amazing camera, CM camera works, but not 100%, keeps giving me trouble and the picture quality cant be compated to Samsung roms.
Does any1 know a Samsung rom with the 100% looks of JB Android ?
Best regards
You could always grab the apex launcher....

Just for you I will make a Stock SGS3 ROM that looks like stock Android. Will it be completely AOSP looking? No, but it will be much better for you.

That's GREAT. But is it possible to have the Jelly Bean SMS app instead of Samsung's (and same thing for Contacts app) ? The Google SMS app is much better (better looks, silent delivery reports,...), and if you can add Samsung features on it (direct call especially) you are a GOD
Looking forward to it.

Try using the Rom foxhound 1.3. I'm also a big fan of the aosp look. But I dint want to miss out the wonderful features in the latest iteration of touchwiz, after a lot of search, now in this. Just sharing my experience. Anyways roms are always individual preference!!

Or use FoxHound i forgot about that ROM. Has everything you are looking for.

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).

True and if you are peformance driven, then after you are done themeing it then you will odex it back.

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.
