[POLL] What ROM are you using?

[Guest targetbsp]

Confused

If you read back through this thread you'll see 'i didn't it was stock' wasn't an option when the poll was made :lol: Also, people could have reflashed stock.

[Guest WearTheFoxHat]

POLLS on this forum can't work like that

I will simply make a new one each week

Making the body of the post the historical results

Wonder if we can get a charting addon, so can simply update the chart each week with the latest voting results to view the popularity of each rom.

[Guest WearTheFoxHat]

:lol: WOW, looks like kallt_kaffe and the Japanese Jellyfisch really rock at the moment, could it be because of the overclocking? Steven, could you split the JJ option into 2 choices (Japanese Jellyfish with O/C and Japanese Jellyfish without O/C)? It would be very interesting to see what attracts the people so much at it. Cheers.

I'd suspect that JJ is really popular at the moment, because it is the *latest* ROM available, with frequent updates. However there has been a recent rise in popularity for Paul's MoDaCo ROM, now that he is back from holidays and pumping out ROM updates.

[Guest Rotmann]

I think the main reason for the JJ is the overclocking stuff. I read a lot of OC requests in the FLB and MCR. Agree with the popularity gain of MCR, nice. Surprising to see that the FLB went down because it is not supported anymore, although in my opinion, the fixed version is the most complete and stable atm (Flibblesan, we need you :lol: ). Interesting to see if the Jellyfish has the same fate in the next weeks as KK just announced that the RLS9 is the last Jellyfish, he will not work on it anymore.

So yes, we can see that popularity is also influenced by the support/update frequency of the ROM.

I don't think it's popular because of the OCing ability, I think it's popular because it has the least bugs, have a look in Pauls thread and check out all the bugs & problems then look in Kuult's thread, see as many problems?

Anyway - let's not get into a my rom is better than your argument and just see how things roll out.

[Guest Rotmann]

I agree, Paul's R11 still has some bugs. What about Flibblesan's RLS6? The fixed one is bugless and had facebook sync waaay before JJ. Battery life is stellar. Still not so popular. Btw., I use Seb's Froyo with the whole fixes.

[Guest gremlinman]

Modaco 2.2 R7 ROM is much faster than japanese jellyfish!!!

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

Modaco 2.2 R7 ROM is much faster than japanese jellyfish!!!

yes agree even over-clocked jj

i have just tested same configuration same apps paul's one run more smoothly

and i even don't speak of the battery life

[Guest The Soup Thief]

Another potential reason for the popularity of other firmware vs MCR froyo r11 might be that it's less available, requiring adfree membership. A lot of people have joined and wanted to flash a recent rom - the latest JJ is recent, very good and freely available, while Paul's latest iteration isn't available to a lot of people, who would rather have a new JJ than an "old" MCR (old being only a couple of weeks, but nonetheless, not the latest)

Availability of acceleration and other features may be a factor for some choosing Japanese Jellyfish, as might TPT install, but I'm sure are less so for many

(really not meaning to knock japanese jellyfish here - I had version 8 running for a few days before MCR r11 came out and I really liked it. I moved to r11 out of curiosity and saw no reason to move on. Previously I had FLB froyo running, which was also excellent. Just saying that since MCR r11 is unavailable to a lot of people on the forum currently, this is obviously going to skew uptake)

Highest praise to all the very gifted devs involved! All shall have prizes ;)

ps For what it's worth, personally I'm really looking forward to seeing what Flibblesan brings to the table later this week - it'll be good, you can bet yer hat!

[Guest steveuk1981]

ive jumped from Sebastian404's de-orangeated-rom (2.1) to sebs de-chinaedn (2.2) on saturday and i loving it, running great without any problems at all ;).

[Guest trained_killa]

Hi All,

Just to let you all know I have tried the modaco 2.2 r11 against jellyfish r9 and benchmarked it all.

Quadrant Results:

JJ Stock Launcher/No Overclock/No GUI accelaration: 437

JJ Stock Launcher/Overclocked/No GUI accelaration: 437

JJ Stock Launcher/Overclocked/GUI accelaration: 437

Modaco 2.2 Stock Launcher/HW UI Accelaration: 917

Modaco 2.2 ADW Launcher/HW UI Accelaration: 925

Modaco 2.2 Launcher.Pro/HW UI Accelaration: 923

Modaco 2.2 Go Launcher/HW UI Accelaration: 945

Modaco 2.2 Zeam Launcher/HW UI Accelaration: 946

Based on this info and also how the phone feels when doing things I have to say that Modaco 2.2 r11 is the best so far.

I hope this helps to people when they are making a decision regarding which Firmware and launcher combo.

Thanks

[Guest targetbsp]

You know the quadrant difference is caused by the stagefright bug right? If you disable stagefright then R11 scores 440 as well. Don't get me wrong... it's a great rom but it's not like it's twice as fast as JJ. ;) They perform more or less the same IMO.

You can easily get JJ into the 500's by overclocking (without the stagefright bug - into the low 1000's with it) if quadrant scores are what you're after. ;)

you have to divide / 2

945 / 2 wen can say 475

JJ9 overclocked you have 580

but it's just numbers

playing divxs in paul's rom for an ex you have 25 FPS

with JJ9 < 20 FPS

Stagefright again, I guess...

[Guest trained_killa]

Thanks for the replies.

I see what you mean about the stagefright affects.

To me it feels my Blade has better response in r11 than JJ. Having said that obviously other people find JJ experience better.

I might just do some other benchmark to see wheather the large increase is present between these two ROMs.

Thanks all.

[Guest kang.t7]

I dont get why people Still use QUADRANT to Benchmark:P

Use LINPACK for CPU & NEOCORE for Graphics

JJ outperforms Modaco in terms of performance, without even having to overclock.

Was wrong of me to say I was ending development of FLB-Froyo as I've not stopped and I'm working on r7

And since we are talking benchmarks, here are some I've just run on r7 (currently in development). Stagefright is disabled, HW acceleration enabled.

Linpack

MFLOPS: 7.308

Norm Res: 5.68

Nenamark

I find Modaco has the slight performance edge in my apps (irrespective of what benchmarks say) but JJ reconnects my wifi more reliably so I'm using it! Have high hopes for R12 though

[Guest kang.t7]

OK so i Reflashed MOdaco R11, Just to BenchMark.

LINPACK

MFLOPS: 7.10

TIME: 11.75

NEOCORE: 36.6 FPS

WIth JJ RLS9 stock, i dont have the Exact restults - but i know that its Marginally Higher, Having Used it for the past few weeks.

IF you want to Make JJ more Snappier Set up some profiles on SetCPU. Your Apps will load up much much faster:P

For Example:

When Screen on Set CLock between 600-662Mhz (Governor: On demand)

When Off Underclock to 400-500MHZ (Governor: Conservative)

You will be Constantly hitting Above 40FPS & 8.0MFLOPS ;)

[Guest Mushroom_Lord]

I have been using Modaco rls7 for a while, and have really liked it, especially with the gingerbread theme, makes it look really nice

I switched to jellyfish rls9, and also applied the over clock zip and ui hardware acceleration zip and was rather disappointed, it is much slower than the modaco rom, less attractive (eg buttons, list of apps, general appearance (even with a blue gingerbread theme)

So now, ive switched back to the modaco ROM, assuming I didn't do something wrong, are the addition jellyfish zips just installed through clockwork like a rom and theme? because other peoples jellyfish experiences contradict mine...

EDIT:

Also, my quadrant score decreased from around 750 to about 450...

That must burn through battery quite fast?

Edit: Whenever the screen is On even if you're just running relatively 'less' demanding tasks, like... reading an ebook or even just on idle perhaps, you're still using 600 MHz. Seems a bit of an overkill?

[Guest StevenHarperUK]

Interesting to see the Rise in Recovery Manager installs....

[Guest targetbsp]

I was reluctant to try recovery manager simply because I'd used Clockwork manually before and knew it worked. If it ain't broke, don't fix it kind of thing. But I did eventually give it a go one day and swear by it now. It's so much more convenient!

[Guest ricer]

I highly recommend the Japanese Jellyfish to anyone wanting a nice stable ROM.

[Guest KopCity]

who has what jelyfish version my is rls9,not good :P
