[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romdroid.:
I think that with ics xoom has be come a new talet, but that is only what ive heard and read i have not tried ics myself personally
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kippui:
I think tablets are becoming like PC's. You don't need the newest core i7 to run most trivial tasks on windows 7 lag free.

You don't need the prime to have a smooth internet experience, use 99.9% of the apps on the market, or in general use ICS smoothly. Do you want the IPS screen + the 1080p support? If so then buy the prime if you desire those things.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzy33:
I think you are all right. To do web browsing, the Tegra 3 does not seem to perform better than the Tegra 2 (at least, this is what I can see when checking the youtube videos, I couldn't test for real as the Prime WIFI problem nether let me try it in a computer shop !), and that's a surprise as the 5th core of the Tegra 3 was told to be increasing the web browsing experience.

I will not be playing with my tablet, not displaying 1080p videos (not even 720p), if I watch videos they will be small size ones.

All I want to do is browsing the web, displaying photos, modifying Excel / Word files, and in rare case using the tab as a GPS.

But I'm a bit disapointed by ICS : even with a Tegra 3, web browsing is not as smooth as on an ipad.

I don't want to talk about IOS / Android differences, we all know them (I don't want to buy an iPad, I prefer using Android), but I need something perfectly smooth and for now ICS still isn't. I know that Android applications may not be smooth because a lot of them are developped with no Google programming rules respects (so many apps are laggy...) but I was expecting ICS to have all the basic applications such as the web browser to be so well optimised that they could be as smooth as on the ipad.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzy33:
If anyone else could give me its opinion on how browsing the web does perform on the Xoom compared to the Prime, I would be happy ...

Thanks !
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willysp:
Browsing with ICS on my Xoom is better than HC. Still not totally smooth, though, to be honest which dissapoints me. I just bought a half-priced Lenovo K1 for the grandkids, and it felt just a bit smoother on HC than Xoom on ICS.

But the Xoom works great with ICS, has strong GPS and WiFi (better than Prime and K1), and half the price of the very flawed Prime. Can't imagine why anyone would buy a Prime given all its problems, and it's going to be obsoleted soon anyway.

Not trying to stir up stuff - I almost bought a Prime, and am very glad that I missed Amazon's first pre-order.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
I owned a prime and switched to the xoom. I like the Xoom much better because everything works. I had issues browsing with the prime because of the terrible wifi. The hardware in the prime is bad and the connection is unreliable. Aside from the wifi issues, the browsing experience would be very comparable. The prime is not enjoy faster browsing the web. So, the fact that it suffers from wifi connection issues made the choice a no-brainer for me. I grabbed a xoom and I have no regrets. I also saved $100.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoner1:
Same situation. I had tried two Prime before returing it for the Xoom. Same as you I had saved well over $100 and All of my hardware is working as it should.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kejar31:
I own both the Xoom and the Prime... not really comparable... the Prime is much faster / smoother and has a better screen.

Don't get me wrong the Xoom is still very nice.. but there is a reason I handed my wife the Xoom and got a Prime for myself :P
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzy33:
Thanks to all of you. I made a choice : I am now a Xoom owner since a few hours ...

For now I am a bit disapointed as I live in France and there we don't have the possibility to update to ICS yet ... 3.2.1 is quite laggy and slow, I don't like it a lot. But I do really like the Xoom physical design, excellent (just a bit heavy but that's OK).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Just root it and flash stock ICS (stacre) or EOS nightly build. You won't regret it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunddizzle:
just returned my prime because of light bleed, no gps and bad wifi.

Considering the xoom as well, because of the price. Then perhaps upgrade later this year.

How is the battery of the xoom (with ICS) compared to the Prime? almost the same?

Only two things im concerned about is screen quality and battery. Well I know the Primes screen is much better, but is the Xooms screen bad?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
Its not bad, its just a standard LCD screen.

When compared to an IPS screen on a transformer, xyboard, iPad, or nook tablet you can really see the difference and I'll admit, I get somewhat jealous of those screens.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
why don't you just try the xoom in a shop? Battery is really fine, should be really hard to drain it in less than a day...

about the display: the contrast is a little low, everything else is okay. If you don't place it right next to a device with a better screen, you won't notice it, at least I don't.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slonn:
Haven't tried a Prime but the Xoom has really surprised me in a positive way, especially since ICS custom roms became available. It really is a great device - a tad on the heavy side but unless you're walking around with it all the time you'll hardly notice. Long lasting battery and screen is good in full daylight and in complete darkness.

Så bare tag en Xoom :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunddizzle:
im gonna give Prime another try, if I can get a replacement within a few days.

only thing im concerned about going for Xoom is the screen now.

Look at this comparison:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=aEMEtxB4q2M#t=166s

Xooms screen is NOT good (colorwise)! Especially not when I have the Galaxy S2 with AMOLED aswell.

Thx for input
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunddizzle:
I went for the Xoom!

Im happy. The Prime is of course a better tablet if everything worked from the start, but when Im spending what is like 900 us dollars on a tablet (Danish taxes included = highest in the world) it has to REALLY awesome and flawless..

The xoom i got for like 300 us dollars (2nd hand), almost as new, really surpriced me. With ICS, and overclocked to 1.2-14 on stock voltage, its really nice!

I can live with the screen quality. But my next tablet will have an OLED screen, so I'm guessing I will look into Samsung later this year.

My advice is. Go for the Xoom if you can find it cheap, and money for value is an issue. Go for the Prime if you dont care about money and is willing to RMA it alot if youre not lucky.

Hi everyone.

I'm on an Android device for less than a week, and I'm surprised with it - fantastic!

The only thing I'm missing now is my fully costumized Firefox browser from my desktop.

I've installed Firefox for Android, but FEBE is not available on it. Do you know if there's any alternative to it?

Any idea when an ics update will be released
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shalom06:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DonXoB:
I don't think there will be an ics update for the milestone.

Point 1: Motorolas support for the milestone is terrible or not existing.

Point 2: its hard to run ics on the milestone hardware. Kabaldan and other brilliant people try to get cm9 running wellig. This inofficial way is the only one to get ics to your phone.

Some ROMs notable alphabetically...

Cynogenmod Port (Marcellusbe)

Dutchmods

ICS for G3

Kyora ROM

Kyrillos ROM

Purumod ROM

Sekhy ROM

Vivek's ROM

A Note: Please do not hurt personally anybody.

Thanks in advance,

Sekhar

This thread has been created for open discussions about ROMs and their features and to share your opinions only - NOT TO IMPOSE YOUR OPINION. I will keep a strict watch on this one!
[Galaxy 3 General] PG101:
Thanks, thread stuck.. maybe an idea to list the roms as well..
[Galaxy 3 General] rikkuartz:
I like the ICS UI better than any laucher ones
[Galaxy 3 General] Arghtefact:
For GB : CM7 is the best

For Froyo (JPU) : Kyorarom 5.2 with G3Mod 2.3 kernel non-oc (flash manually the kernel) -> very stable, ultra fast, and, for my dad, the most battery efficient Rom (5-6 days per charge and 1 week if you use nothing).
[Galaxy 3 General] shurick56:
Im a freshman in flashing roms, im doing this for about 2 months now. And i can say that

Cynogenmod Port is the best for our Galaxy 3, of course Kyrillos Rom based on CM7-A7 will stand next to the first one. Although on Cynogenmod Port (Marcellusbe) we dont have full bluetooth function and camera is black/white, but its very stable.
[Galaxy 3 General] devc0ol:
Hmmm..Tough Question!

I have tried Kyorarom and Kyrillos and I find Kyrillos v9.5 better than Kyorarom 0.5.2,both in case of battery backup and performance Kyrillos exceeds Kyorarom.:D:D

Kyorarom needs to be refined a little and everything will be fine, coz am having lag problems on it.:(:(

Still got to try Sekhy's and DutchMod. I am having download problems as of now so will try both the ROMs and report soon.:cool::cool:
[Galaxy 3 General] headers.chennai:
Have tried and did not pass Boot Loop in the following ROMs

1. Kyora ROM

2. Kyrillos ROM

Used Vivek's ROM for 2 days and it was fantastic, but the data usage while roaming drained me completely..but one of the best for G3.

Currently use CM but CM needs to be tweaked continuously for better battery and results. The features that CM 7.1 has is great. All working fine

Have tried CM 6.2 too and was happy.

The only ROM to beat CM on features is WIUI, but WIUI does not support G3 currently

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy 3 General] ondravik:
Well, I have tried plenty of ROMs for G3 (from the latest e.g. Kyorarom v0.5.2, Kyrillos 9.5, CM 6.2...) but all of them beats CM 7.1 modded by Kyrillos - GWK74.

It´s fast as hell, stable, pretty good battery backup (3 days of moderate usage).

The only thing I miss are video codecs for avi format, which were in froyo ROMs.

And another suggestion it would be great if Fugumod Ultra kernel would support Gingerbread ROMs...don´t know if it´s possible, but it´s performance in froyo is epic :)
[Galaxy 3 General] artifex21:
Tried many ROMs but i find the Kyrillos version of cm7 the best....
[Galaxy 3 General] Smonic:
On a serious note, i think the stock JPU ROM is insanely smooth and fast :p I'm using it right now and app opening times, scrolling etc. are really fast and smooth. Battery backup is also awesome compared to Kyrillos' ROM V 9.5 where the battery lasted 1 day of heavy usage then 1 day of hardly any usage because i was scared to waste the battery half the way through the day in case i got any important phone calls.
[Galaxy 3 General] BFMSAND:
In my Opinion the cm7 port is the best :) not only cause you can change your design via cm7 but also performance and battery is very good here, had kyrollos before but yeah i wanted something new and with cm7 port i have much mor fun with my phone :)
[Galaxy 3 General] pro2295:
ICS

As long as you don't need bluetooth and camera badly, i actually think ICS is pretty amazing. It's good enough for daily use now at least, almost at CM7 level. :D
[Galaxy 3 General] Jason-EX:
My opinion =

For daily usage: Stock rom (I recommend XXJPS or DDJP4)

Need for speed? : Kyorarom , Kyrillos' rom

Classic rom : Vivek's rom or Purumod :p

For showing off: CM7, ICS, AOSP original ginger port by marcel
[Galaxy 3 General] headers.chennai:
Hi Sekhar,

Could you add the link to each of these ROM threads - and have a comparison [a fair one] for the benefit of the community?

I've not tried Purumod, Sekhy etc..

And what is the funda is installing a ROM from earlier version?

For Instance, Your ROm suggests that the earlier version be installed first..I'm foxed here

Sekhys ROM for Gb is fantastic. Nice user experience and great display for normal use.

But Videos are Laggy and other than mp4 formats dont play..

Bloatware IMO is avast and Battery XL:confused: Both can be removed by force closing the apps and uninstalling them in applications :)
[Galaxy 3 General] phoenix_wnd:
Like Kyrillos' v9.5 most. Of course I didn't like battery life with 'default' g3mod kernels especially when I was using 2g/3g internet connection so I flashed Astrum v 1.0 from moikop and now everything works like a charm ;-)

Rom: Kyrillos' v9.5

Kernel: Moikop's Astrun v1.0 cwm
[Galaxy 3 General] red02498:
Same here, hope K 10. will get rid of battery drain prob.
[Galaxy 3 General] phoenix_wnd:
...tried Kyrillos' 10 Beta 1 over the weekend and performance and battery drain is really ok.

of course there are still some probs as the black/white preview when taking pictures with camera and didn't get bluetooth connection to send/receive some files; but as pictures are taken in colour (seen when accessed on sdcard) and files can also send by wireless (f.e. airdroid) or usb connection (cable) i can live with it. also having data2sd with link2sd (s2e didn't work properly for me; corrupted my sdcard)

perhaps i'll flash K 10 beta2 end of next week?! :rolleyes:

[Galaxy 3 General] sajjt:
I have a dumb question to experts here:p

Does the SG3 have different hardware versions across the world? Here someone says one particular ROM is good where another fellow member says that its not even loading properly:confused: How come its happening if the hardware is the same:confused: Currently am on Kyrillos 10B2 and I found that Kyorarom is the best fit in Froyo. I've tried few ROMs listed here on my G3 but like others commented, some works fine and some are not even able to run the dialer as it force closes. What is the reason for the different feed backs?
[Galaxy 3 General] bscraze:
The reason for this is not the different hardwares, but mostly due to all the devices being unable to be of top notch quality. Its virtually impossible to ensure each product has the same quality. By the way, post your questions in the qna section next time, in the qna thread ;)

For me Kyrillos v.9.5 and G3mod kernel v.2.3 OC is the best. I've tried out cyanogenmod 7 for 2 months but it is not as stable as Kyrillos´ Rom.

Hi I have been around for long time tried all roms and mods and for now fastest and bst working iz cm7... but for me is the MIUI rom it has some small bugs but best kernel from ics24 and openfimg and most important to me veary easy to use , and most pracitacl rom I ever used :) just now I got with quadrant for 3D :502 for 2D: 516 mabey doesnt mean anything but its nice to see it XD
[Galaxy 3 General] artifex21:
Change the governor ?

I tried a lot custom ROMs for our G3,for froyo the 2 best vere Kyorarom and Kyrillos.Now i'm on Kyrillos v10 Beta2,which is very stable and blazing fast GB rom.:D:D
[Galaxy 3 General] aYafs:
It comes down to:

a: what is in the data partition

b: how the SD card is formatted

c: whether the phone can handle any overclocks a ROM/kernel may have.

There aren't any revisions AFAIK. I've never read any documents about it.
[Galaxy 3 General] kiwi_man:
I've tried several rooms but have found CM7 to be stable on my SG3 along with kyrillos 9.5. Am now running MIUI V4 Alpha 2 as a daily. Laggy and fcs but will be great once all the bugs are sorted out. Big thanks to the MIUIforG3 team. Great work so far. :)

Also, for people who love customization, MiUi is great. But only as long as you don't mind putting up with the small bugs that ICS presently still has. I don't, and i think its amazing.
[Galaxy 3 General] oneilljstn:
hey, ive been reading through a few threads about which rom i should get, the Kyrillos v9.5 seems to be fairly popular, I was just wondering why no-one is suggesting the v10? is there something wrong with that build?
[Galaxy 3 General] Smonic:
Accidentally thanked you :p

Anyway, its based on CM7 which doesn't have everything fully working yet so I think that's why but its still a very good rom
[Galaxy 3 General] Ava.tar:
Kyrillos v10 is still the best option if you want a cm7 based rom but obviously it is held back by the fact that the base rom is in alpha stage (despite kyrillos' rom showing as beta), in my opinion, 9.5 is the best rom available at the moment. i have no doubt that once cm7/9 are complete, kyrillos will come in with something just as fantastic. Kyorarom is quite nice too. a fair amount of setup required if you want it to run at its best though (overclocking, KMapps etc.) If you want something easy to use and aesthetically pleasing and dont mind sacrificing a tiny bit of speed, Dutchmods is great.
[Galaxy 3 General] nanos7:
The camera is b&w on the display but the pics come out colour. Video doesn't work but it does with Videocam Illusion app (no sound).

That being said, Kyrillos' v9.5 for 2.2 and v10 for 2.3. As other users have said v10 is based on cm7 alpha and I need video so v9.5 smooth and fast!
[Galaxy 3 General] gerryg73:

[Galaxy 3 General] peldax:
Easy, best rom ever is the stock one, or just simply updated froyo ROM. Kyrillos, Lestatious - my favourites. Today I had a dream about being cool with ICS or new Kyrrillos gingerbread. Now I have problems to have my phone get 100% working again.

Stock firmwares always will have 100% stability and they will never be much worse than some ports. Unless you are mobile gamer, which is impossible with our phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] jyotisankar9:
CM7.2 A8 is the best one yet!!
[Galaxy 3 General] red02498:
What's the best rom 4 games guys :D ?
[Galaxy 3 General] HardcoreBoy:
For games i would recommend DutchMods 5.3 OC. I have really tried all avaliable roms and so far DutchMods rom has been the only one that really does everything i need and of course all the games i have downloaded run smoothly only angry birds: space is having some texture issues and background is missing, but there is no lag when i play it. If DutchMods 5.3 isn't satisfying you could also go for Kyrillos 9.5.
[Galaxy 3 General] red02498:
Have tried both of them, but i couldn't play Angry birds 1 and 2 smoothly on them :(

Also, i encoutered white texture in some games too.

I agree with Kirpman. However, v10.1 is way better than v10. Now when camera preview and GPS are fixed. :)

In my opinion, i always preferred CM7 for 2.3.7 and Kryrillos for 2.2, Frankly those are the best. I am currently using CM7 and am very satisfied with it. Only problem, games run better on Kyrillos than on CM7.... without cf3d that is to say...
