This is really a nice qn

I have used official eclair froyo miui cm7

cm7 is not so gud in customizations.

They give some hardware acceleration and you will not find much of lags on that gingerbread UI.

For looks, i recommend u to use Launcher pro . I am using it with cm7 and the combination is perfect.

U can definitely move to cm7 latest nightly.If u want good camera then u can move to milestone 2 rom.
[Defy General] Deonix:
On the contrary, CM7 is heavy customizable. Lots of features. I suggest you read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065798 and the CM7 thread for the latest Google Apps and Cm7. It's not that hard to install, actually it's really easy if you follow their steps.

You can use ADW/ Launcher pro or GO launcher. I personally use Go Launcher and i like it, doesn't crash, loads fast.

You can PM me if you want help in upgrading. Why keep your smartphone on 2.2 when you can unleash it's full potential with 2.3.4. Another reason is apps support, everything works on Gingerbread but not everything on Froyo, Hardware is much more faster ( download Quadrant Standard from the market) i get 2200-2400 . Browsing, doc reading/editing is much smoother. Better battery and the list could go on.

Oh, andf Nightlies are for testing... RC0/RC1 are stable versions to use.
[Defy General] c-loet:
yes, i was happy, except with th lags and reboots i meet since i updated it to froyo, but it isn"t so bad

i think your are true, the gain i can havve compares to my use are very low, better stay and crossing my finger for an official upgrading

i had a quick look at the tutorial for noob and it is clearly easier than thr one i read before.

finally i will keep this version but i will keep on reding here, as i am very nosey :D i will certainely jump the gap one day.

thanks for all your replies and explanation
[Defy General] iammodo:
Had cm7 on my SGS got my defy and knew it had 200mhz less processor but otbwas very laggy needed restarting loads lots of force close. Opening Google maps was a joke.

Installed cm7 all better now and it removed the 800mhz underclock so now rocking a 1ghz and it works better then my SGS. Did some quick boot tests, opened a few apps defy was quicker then the SGS and the iPhone 3gs

[Defy General] Japro:
I suggest you to read this thread. People around here usually talk about pros of CM7 (and custom ROMs in general), but you have to be aware that there are certain cons also.
[Defy General] c-loet:
thanks,

after an attentive look at it, it seems that most probs are on camera and as it is a main use of my defy i will stay with official froyo.

thanks guys
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
I had some reboots and issues too after updating to official froyo. They were all gone after doing a complete wipe.

If you have many apps installed and stuff on your phone, root your phone using SuperOneClick (is really, REALLY easy.. click, click rooted) and install Titanium Backup. Save all your apps and do a complete Wipe.

After that, your phone should be working perfectly. To do this wipe, with the phone turned off, hold Volume Down and turn it on (while still holding V. Down) at the triangle screen press at the same time Vol up and Vol Down. There you will see the options to Clear Cache and Delete User data.

You could also try only wiping cache, it wont delete any information on your phone, but might fix issues ;) (No rooting or anything special needed for this)

Hope it helps~
[Defy General] tecjam:
Zephyrot' s post speaks true. See if you can't fix the issues with a factory reset / cache clear

For the first few months I didn't want to really root my phone or flash it as I was expecting ear piece problem. When I finally took the plunge I wanted a rom that removed motoblur, it's launcher and almost everything else so I could configure it myself from market apps and always have the latest versions.

This lead me not to CM7 - which is also rather bloated and still rather buggy when i last tried the nightlies it 2 weeks ago - but Barebones: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977989

I installed 1.5.1 after flashing the nordic 2.2.2. I have never been happier.

I have now updated to 1.5.6 + the update.zip for market fixes - used Titanium backup *root* to transfer my apps and settings. I replaced the zoom launcher with launcherPro, milestone overclock to 1100 at 65vsel (after some testing with lower / higher settings).

Finally it was a blurless, bare rom that has the pure minimum as a base and all else can be added via the market afterwards.
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
Advantages :

[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
Could it be the new weather animations? That's gotta be it, Hollywood A-grade computer animation in QHD resolution, sorta makes "sense" LOL...we if that's the case, then I'll take it! The weather animations in Sense 3.0 kicks ass over anything available today, both on Android and iDrone.

It's such eye candy!
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
Sense 3.0 isn't bloated in my opinion.. it was designed to take advantage of the available hardware... Which means a bigger footprint,,, everything gets bigger when it gets better.... We went from vhs<dvd<blu ray

Of course a old vhs lover would say 20+gb is too much but it sure looks good doesn't it.... Same situation here
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
We just have people that hate on sense regardless of how big it is or isnt
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Personally I care less about how much space it uses and more about how slow it is. On my Evo 4G, I saw a 35% to 40% increase in speed using several different benchmarks when I dumped Sense and went with an AOSP ROM. I suspect this phone will SCREAM once it is rooted and we get a good AOSP ROM on it. Right now, it's barely beating my AOSP ROM'd Evo 4G.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] flyboy1100:
But on day to day usage was it faster?

I love trying roms and playing with different programs, but the original sense on the evo is smooth and plenty fast at anything I do on a daily basis. Benchmarks are great, but in the end they don't mean crap
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Fair point. I don't really play arcade/graphics games on the phone so I don't find much use for the extra speed honestly. It did make scrolling and app loading quicker but I can't say that's huge. AOSP ROMs did use less battery for me too: quite a bit less. On the speed side: it's just nice knowing it's there if you need it. Sort of like owning a 200 MPH sports car that you know will never see that speed under your watch. ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igor2200:
galnet miui or cm7 and why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u.or.u:
me also wishing to have answer for that
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
If you like stock Android, choose CM7 and if you like iOS, you should choose MIUI. I prefer CM7. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igor2200:
Which is faster and better not about the looks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Both are pretty fast. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igor2200:
but which is faster? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
You can't compare it like this. MIUI is based on CM7. Just try both and them you can decide which ROM to take. I had MIUI for one day but then I switched back to CM7 cause I don't like iOS-looking. And CM7 is very close to stock Android and I just love it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmsnx:
Why don't you try both and report back here? Give some good feed back :)

I've only tried miui myself, but I'm pretty happy with it so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igor2200:
I tried but i cant find any differences
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxysdev:
Try both of them few days and pick the one you like. I prefer cm7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
If you can't find any differences on speed then it's up to you whether you want the stock android or iOS style.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superindian:
its a matter of choice.. i would recomend trying both n deciding for yourself..

i personally recomend galnet miui.. using it over a few months...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovedby:
i tried them both and i definitely goes with galenet miui

it's easy... miui is an improvement of cm7. and when you have a great support

by the dvelopment himself, and this is a man that can release a new verision

every 5h because little something was wrong, there is no doubt.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
But I have to say that the support with CM7 isn't bad, it's quite good. :) atinm helps you in the CM7 Q&A-thread to solve your problems.

For now, I still see Google as the protector of privacy. Everything they might have is due to automation, so it's not like the employees are seeing much at all or more than any other company does. The real scare would be if there's a security exploit discovered there, not released, and mined by whoever discovers it for personal use or sale. They better take security a little more seriously than Dropbox has recently.

Fight: Google's recent loss in the patent wars will go down in history as the crippling blow that ultimately brought the powerhouse to its knees.

Well Google decided to not buy some patent for that huge amount of money. And Google is bigger than loosing some patent,it will emerge out even stronger than it is now.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabhac:
So, was tired of my original battery dying on me halfway through my work day on a full charge and after several calls with Verizon got sent the extended battery which I do like. Problem I'm now running into is the dang thing is always taking forever to charge.

Last night I plugged it in to charge. It was at 26%. I woke up after 5 hours charging and it's at 60%. So I bring my charger to work and after another 6 hours it's barely up to 85%. I mean wtf?!?! That's nearing 11 hours just to charge 60% of the dang battery! Anyone got any ideas how to resolve this? I'm. Currently running das bamf 2.1 with urban theme and the imoseyon3.01 kernal. I've cut back on any and every battery eating service like wifi, GPS, animations, static wallpaper etc... Would really appreciate any ideas anyone has on this! Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Das bamf 2.1 is gb right? Gb roms charge slow unfortunately :/
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
I'm running BAMF Sense 3.0 and getting exceptional battery life. You should not be having issues like that.

Have you tried different chargers? My stepsister had this exact problem but she kept insisting it wasn't the charger. After wiping her phone and buying her a new battery, she says "oh you were right it was the charger." She changed the charger and it went away.

Your situation sounds exactly like hers although it's likely it could be another cause. I'll let the experts help you but I wanted to share that little tidbit, I spent a day changing settings and uninstalling programs and such, and bought her a brand new battery only to finally have her admit she must have been confused about which chargers were doing it.

With the correct kernels, the BAMF Sense 3.0 rom is charging faster than mine was doing stock. The statement above was correct in earlier kernels but has since been corrected. I don't know about 2.1, but since you're running a custom rom already I highly recommend the MR2 radio and BAMF with sense 3.0. I'm using RC3 but RC4 is rumored to be getting close, although I have no concrete information.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabhac:
Interesting

.. it might just be the charger because I'm using the one that came with the phone but I noticed faster charge when I was at my brother's place and borrowing his micro USB charger for his rechargable universal remote. I also think I may have a problem with a program because I dunno if it's normal or not but watching Netflix on my lunch break the phone went from 87% to 80% in like 20 min. 7% in 30 min seems a bit much. I like bamf alot but if the other Rom's work so much better I may try it out., update.. it went down 1% just makign this post.. so not only does it charge slow as heck, something is causing a slow power loss beyond the norm I think.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Streaming anything is going to chew up your battery.

But like others have posted, you could have a problem either with your usb cable or the actual charger plug itself.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabhac:
I think I'm going to try the Bamf with 3.0 sense tonight,. Trying a different charger right now,. one with a Kyocera name brand on the side but it's still a micro usb charger to see if there's much difference. when I originally got the extended battery it seemed to run great at first and then I upgraded my ROM and at 2.1 bamf remix GB alot of bugs were cleared up but it also seems to be drainign my battery faster and charging slower so we'll see...

How does the 2.1 GB remix with imoyseon's kernel compare to the Bamf 3.0 sense with the dream kernel?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistreater:
I had the same prob with das bamf 2.1 remix until i opted for imoseyon 3.3.8 lean test kernel.

Now i'm back to normal charging with stock battery and extended.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sg1dan:
problem was with the kernel, but i you download the imos.. 3.3.2 or higher kernel you will have the charging issue fixed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabhac:
well too late now lol I flashed to the BAMF 3.0 RC3 and am going to give it a go. How does the Dream Kernel work ? any good?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biglipps66:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
*Sigh*

The current honeycomb roms are not recommended for beginners. Right now, only froyo has full hardware acceleration. Nothing else have hardware acceleration. I suggest you start out with froyo first before you take it further.

All honeycomb roms are in their alpha stages and therefore only recommended for testers and experienced users. I swear, if I see another beginner whining about the lack of full functionality on the honeycomb roms...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkster:
Start with the stock 3588.

Use it for a few days.

Then try Vegan-Tab for a few days.

Then try Vegan Gingerbread RC1

You can also try CM7

If you're happy, dont change.

If you have learned all the nuances, and want to experiment, learn NVFlash and go nuts...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 18masterkyle:
But what about playing videos from the external hard drive mentioned?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
To give you an idea of the mentality recently on this site, I'l edit your post title...

"Just bought a G-Tablet, DON'T WANT TO LOOK FOR MY OWN ANSWERS"

Just today, I read a post that spoke ot external harddrives. I haven't personally tried it yet, but someone mentioned that as long as the hard drive works under it's own power (not a flash drive) that it should work. But here's an idea for you, plug it in and try it...see for yourself if it works or not.

to your other questions:

1. How is video acceleration on Honeycomb? I heard either Bos or Illuminate has video acceleration?

On Froyo roms it works fine, Gingerbread roms have a pieced together form of it by overclocking, but there are no Nvidea drivers for Gingerbread. Likewise, there are also no drivers for Honeycomb.

2. Best overclocking kernel for beginners. I'm looking for a quick and easy solution to install. Post the best tutorial(s)

Look for your own tutorials, man. I've been using Calkulin/Clemsyn combo for about a week and love it. (Clemsyn part is the kernel) Really, you'll only find 2 different kernels that are popular. Clemsyn and Pershoot. Both are great

3. Does netflix work? If so, post the best tutorial(s)

Netflix only works 100% on CM7, but tweaking is necessary. Right now, I suggest that you forget about netflix and use the tablet for apps that actually work on it.

to be honest, all of your questions can be answered simply by browsing these forums. Hell, just looking for 10 minutes I can find a post called "Best Roms?" "Fastest most stable roms?" There are many about netflix alone. And It's basic knowledge, from reading, reading, and more reading, that ONLY FROYO ROMS HAVE HARDWARE DRIVERS THAT ENABLE ACCELERATION.

now, start reading...when you think you're done, read some more. When you're done, go to Slatedroid and read some more...and then some more...pretty soon, you'll be an expert!

The deal breaker for me on the HC ROMS so far is that I can't seem to get then to work with any exchange email programs. Having access to my corporate outlook is critical for a daily use ROM. Anyone know how to beat that issue?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Simple, don't use a Honeycomb rom. They are in Alpha stage for a reason
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhermit:
1) Only SW acceleration which seems to work OK for up to 480p

2) My opinion Clemsyn for Froyo, Pershoot for Gingerbread

3) It works great with CM7 stable

4) Doubt it since I think Freeagent requires power from the USB port, but try it and let us know. It should not hurt anything.

I tried Vegan Tab 5.1.1, BoS, CM7.0.3, and a bunch of others that did not last long for various reasons. I have completely settled on CM7.0.3 Stable and have a very solid tablet which I have not had to repartition at all (with 5.1.1 I was always having to repartition after crashes). Tried CM7.1 release candidate and it gave me fits with a few things, so I am going to wait to the next RC before I move. I really, really like CM7 and it works with Netflix (need to get the netflix app from here). On CM7, I use MoboPlayer to play movies. It has a setting where you can disable HW acceleration and use SW acceleration. That has worked great for my movies although I do not encode HD, I stay at 480p and thereabouts.

You guys were pretty tough on Kyle. He is, after all, a Master.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Nah, we're not tough. I've been to tougher forums. At least he got answers to his questions.

BUT, that being said, Kyle is obviously not a master of finding answers for himself. Everytime I ask a question (and I do, trust me) is only after I've read just about every thread I can find that may help me. In other words...if I had a problem with an app not working, first I'd check the Themes and apps section, of THIS forum and Slatedroid. If no answer, then I'll check the thread that specifically deals with the rom I am on, and yes, I'll read every boring page of it. I may even check G-Tablet for Dummies to see if Goodintentions addresses it, or not. THEN, before asking the question ,I'll use this little invention called "Google." You see, "master"kyle, Google is what's called a search engine. If you type words into it, it will give you a list of web pages that might help you with the words you typed.

I have no problem with people that come here with a problem, and tell us that they tried, this, and that, from this thread, or that thread, or that web page, etc...but their problem persists. At least I know that they made the attempt to answer their own questions. But to come here and say that you purchased a device, haven't received it yet, then DEMAND answers to questions in which the answers only require a browsing of the forums (not even a full blown search, just scroll down!!!)

yeah, no patience for those people...they are the ones that really NEED an iPad.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 18masterkyle:
Thanks for all of the responses. I am new to this Gtablet forum and I find the information posted about the hardware acceleration is sketchy: BoS or Illuminate roms have said to use hardware acceleration without the proper drivers? Why do you think I asked you all of these questions? I have a freeagent drive and I'm not sure it will work yet since it will be arriving tomorrow. I need to know whether or not to buy a 32gb sd card for the gtablet for some movies. ALL I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW IS WHICH ROM TO STICK WITH ASKING THESE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. If you cannot understand that, they don't give me some ass-comment "Well you should know and search". If you have a problem with my post, then GTFO. If you wish to help me, then please post a response. I do enjoy some of the posts on this thread. Thanks all :)
