Hi all,
i would like to change the stock rom for a custom one but as i didn't know the differences between all of them, i made a spreadsheet to synthetise.
https://docs.google....dXhVQXBfZHQ0eHc

I wanted to share it with you for two reasons :
  • it may help people in the same situation
  • it may content wrong informations

As this spreadsheet may have incorrect information within, so leave a message to correct it if you find something wrong or missing.
I'm still updating the spreadsheet right now.

GuZzO

Woooow! That looks amazing! Nice job! Just one suggestion for later on, could you add the antutu benchmarks as well?
Also, all the stock based roms have an FM radio. And maybe add ginger_DMD

I'll try to update with antutu benchmarks if someone provides me results ! Otherwise i'll pick up results from differents topics.

Updated for the FM Radio.

Do you have a link to ginger_DMD please ?

CM9=CM7 (functionality, and almost hardware), otherwise nothing to compare. No customs-nothing to compare.
What's more, description of cm-based roms incomplete,dishonest, and was on trial with techno kernel.
continue follow those and community will end up shortly.

i may have misunderstood what you said... but are you angry ?

Could you explain ? because CM7 is based on Gingerbread and CM9 is based on Ice Cream sandwich, no?
Which is a major change, non?

I tried to summarize what i've read on several topics (what works, things people complaining about,...) and i asked for help to fulfill and correct the spreadsheet.
I already said that it's incomplete or incorrect, so ok. But "dishonest"...  why? And what are you talking about techno kernel ?

yeap, evil enough..
CM is a loco for each community. That post encourages to not even try CM based development work(I'm not speaking about helping to keep that development alive).. on what community are we talking about then?

ah yeap, os version -__ anyway from version to version CM tries to save features.
that phrase was intended to point to incorrect comparassion in sense of word "custom".
Sense of word "custom" comes only after trial and analysis.

I tried to summarize what i've read on several topics
and almost failed, sorry.

Quote

what are you talking about techno kernel ?
mostly incompatible with CM, and won't be done in that way as techno seems also retired.

Quote

i asked for help to fulfill and correct the spreadsheet.
corrections? - Leave CM-s alone. Or make a separate comparassion.

Quote

"dishonest"...  why?
try those roms first before even post something. In this I see that stock acer beats all [it's definitely right as acer made that hardcode swarm almost impossible to port on CM base].

First of all, sorry i didn't want to upset anyone, especially you as you seem to be a great contributor...

But :

Quote

Before trying anything, i read about it. I don't want to brick my phone trying an alpha/beta release for dev only... as the CM9...

Quote

In this I see that stock acer beats all
i think that people willing to try a custom rom are smart enough to understand that all the tweaks make custom roms more attractive than Acer stock rom.
And even if Acer stock rom seems to beat the others, everybody notice that there's no room enough for apps and it's full of crap (facebook, social jogger...)

Quote

That post encourages to not even try CM based development work
yes and no !!
if you really want to test the last custom rom, you'll do it even if it's still on development anyway
but, as i do, if you only want to improve your user experience, you don't want to try a rom without 3G support nor camera either! and i think that people have to know it before and not while they're testing a rom!

Quote

Sense of word "custom" comes only after trial and analysis.
For me, it's "custom" as soon as it's not the official one, the "stock rom".

Quote

and almost failed, sorry.
ok, tell me what's wrong so, i mean cell by cell in the spreadsheet, and not only saying it's dishonest or incomplete...
I really want to objectively compare the differents choices that Liquid metal owners have, nothing more...

Quote

corrections? - Leave CM-s alone. Or make a separate comparassion.
Do you want i create a second spreadsheet for CM and MIUI roms?

If you are so mad at me i'll delete the post or any references to your job in the spreadsheet!
One more time sorry but it's the kind of pinned topic i appreciate when i get a device and i try to  modify it.

Lens-flare why are you so mad at the guy. He spent some time compiling infos about ROMs available for this device and I think we should help him improve instead of just flaming him. He's not all knowing and he asks for help to improve his comparison.

One thing to keep in mind and that can be check with this spreadsheet :

CyanogenMod needs huge (really) work to run on some devices, specialy on Acer phones, but it should change as Acer intends to be closed from Android sources.

I can understand that you're angry Lens about seeing so much red cells on it, but it's a fact.

Agreed.

Users simply count what's working...

Not everyone is a developer.

at last highlight that it's not mere "stock rom mod", and what Vache said.

coz nobody else intended to beat those "red cells"

yah, I'd agree if there were any.

I think it's an awesome spreadsheet.  I'm not sure what the blank fields mean?  Do they mean that you don't know if it supports it.

I can tell you that T&L supports GPS, camera, and camcorder and LED's if you want to update the spreadsheet.
