MCRr12 vs SSr5

[Guest AJH101]

I recently too delivery of a Gen1 San Francisco. I managed to update this to MCRr12 but understand the current stable release is SSr5. As the MCR seems stable (for the most part) is it worth switching? If so is SSr5 a suitable candidate?

I understand that SSr5 may require Gen2. Is is straightforward to convert? If so what is the easiest way to do this in order to flash the SS ROM?

Thanks in advance!

SS works on Gen1.

SSr5 runs android 2.2 (from an official release), MCR12 is still android 2.1 I believe, so it is an upgrade and is reccomended

You realise the MCR thread says Froyo Rom at the top? :unsure:

And Swedish Spring is much more functional than MCR.

Eg, overclocking..,underclocking, governor control etc

Except that SS UI and response times are far more (read extremely more) sluggish in contrast to MCR12 (which appears to be far more optimized in that sense), though the latter apparently has a larger drain on the battery for some reason.

been playing with different roms here and i now think FLB Froyo may be the best in terms of smoothness/battery efficiency. it's definitely smoother and with a better battery life than SSRLS5, even if it is built from an earlier leaked rom.

my only quibble is that the auto-rotate in FLB is overly sensitive compared to other roms. i will either settle on SS or the FLB for good soon.

MCR12 is the only ROM i've been properly happy with.

Everything just works.. its rock solid stable (and it is 2.2)

Having said that you shoudl try a few and decide..

Do a nand-backup first then you can switch back easily if you decide the same :P

Thanks for the response guys (and sorry for the delay in replying).

Can anyone add anything to compare Japanese Spring (or is it Swedish Jellyfish?!) to SS?

Thanks

If you're happy with your phone as it is then stick with what you've got until CyanogenMod 7 is finished (or at least stable).

There is generally little difference between the Froyo ROMs.
