Guest Se7enair Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 At the moment i run Villain, its fast and smooth. But it is still a Leak and not the original, and the translation to german is incomplete. I will go back to MoDaCo and wait for a better release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr. dre Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm using Lox, it's working well and is stable to but i'm using it as a trial to the 2.1 ROM i'll wait for the official 2.1 ROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zaid Aiman Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I am still using modaco 3.1, just to get a stable ROM for my daily usage. I have tried several others 2.1 ROMs out there, which include VillainROM, KaguDroid and etc. But most of them either have issues with the camera, keyboard (too lag for me to type), force close issues and many more. If I were to rate the most stable 2.1 ROM out there, you should try the VillainROM, provided you could handle the laggish of the keyboard. But for anything else, it is superb.

Guest mkrogh Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Installed BeHero 1.2.3 - Really nice and almost bug free <_< Contacts from SIM, cant be disabled. Aparently MMS problems as well. (not testet) Other than that everything works great :mellow: Really fast, and very smooth.... BR MKrogh :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Binario77 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm using VillainROM 3.2 which has more bugs than 3.1 did but even though I'm a ROM hacking newbie I've managed to work out what a few of the probs are as they have been simple such as wrong file ownership/permissions or missing mount points for SD so have managed to contribute back to the community which is probably easier in a newer ROM than a more established project where the problems yet to be fixed are more complex.

Guest ZiCoN Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Installed BeHero 1.2.4 and it's actually really good. Apart from MMS and facebook sync not working, everything is really smooth... Came from Modaco 3.1... #Reverted to Modaco 3.1. I had too many issues with sync and connection in general... I think I'll stick to the original plan.. A wish that Paul will put on his apron and cook up the 2.1 when it'll be released.

Guest rob_turner_uk Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 i'm using Raidroid 1.0, Eris 2.1 Port OPTIMIZED, for the last couple of days, Stable and able to use protected apps in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_IMF Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Villain Rom 3.2 Applied all the fixes and everything seems to be working great. It's much much much faster than the fastest MoDaCo ROM on 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lemmingzappa Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) I'm currently running VillainROM + fixes, as it seems to be the most stable for me at the moment. Edited March 7, 2010 by lemmingzappa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roonil Wazlib Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ran VillainRom 3.1 for a while, which was nice and stuff, but my battery drained so fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ibanez33 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Slowly getting through them all just want something to use till paul comes out with a 2.1. But so far some have been better than others but they've all had issues that would mean I wouldn't be able to use it day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest subhramani Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Tried Villian, had too many FCs, got irritated and came back to Modaco 3.1 Then then tried BeHero. Its very fast and everything, but my battery drains out very quickly. So again back to Modaco 3.1 <_< Waiting for Paul to cook up an Eclair ROM.

Guest Dr. dre Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Waiting for Paul to cook up an Eclair ROM. Same Here. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DTU Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Tried Villian but got heaps of FCs, generally didn't run very smoothly for some reason. Now running BeHero, but yeah... I'm noticing the battery drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rdr_ Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Kagudroid.. good as of now. Will wait till all the Eris leak ROMs become stable before switching to a Sense ROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ermacwins Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 villain drains battery drains fast, hows the batter with behero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shenshang Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Compared with MCR 3.2b5, the rate of battery usage in sleep mode is 12% faster, 14% when screen on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Higgsy Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I have gone back to MCR from Villain 3.2 for now - the battery drain is excessive, even if the screen is on min brightness the battery drops like mad when you are using it - in 30 mins of browsing this am it dropped 20%. I haven't used the phone at all most of the day apart from to check a few notifications and dropped another 20%. I think the nail has been hit on the head the other day with some investigations on XDA, the CPU speed on Villain doesn't drop below 245mhz even when sleeping. I think the only benefit for me is bluetooth file transfer on 2.1, which I must say was very handy the othernight in the pub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I also reckon the devs are going to need kernel sources to improve the battery life further. I remember the the performance and battery improvements when Teknologist implemented his kernel.

Guest Zaid Aiman Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 It has been 3 days since I have used BeHero v1.2.6, and so far, I really love the stability and speed that it has to offer, although I just hate they had to ditch the navigation. Hope that helps you to choose which 2.1 ROM suits you best, even our friend shenshang recommended it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afiorillo Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I've tried almost all 2.1 ROMs and BeHero is by far the stablest, fastest, smoothest and less battery-draining one of the lot. Sure, it's not hassle-free: Facebook sync, linking from app to web and light sensor are not working and CoPilot Live cannot start in it. Looking forward for the next release.
