Crystal vs ShadoW

[dj_aris]

Guys, just ONE SIMPLE QUESTION:

Which ROM is FASTER: Crystal V5.0 (5.1, I presume they are identical in terms of speed) or ShadoW 1.0?

Please answer this question. I don't care about anything but SPEED!!!

Because I need to flash later today!!!

Many thanks to all cookers!

it's a personal preference.. I go with Crystal V5.1

[dj_aris]

No, no, that's what I'm saying! SPEED can't be personal preference! SPEED is measurable! OK, one rom might be better than the other based on one's criteria, but only one can be faster!

i.e. which one open faster windows folder? And how long does it take, actually? Benchmarks please!!!

I think this thread is not supposed to be here..:(

First of all .. It is not abot competition between hma4 and claudyfa.

They just upload what they have made. In order to give the people here a new fresh ROM.

As I said.. A new fresh ROM.

It is not about competition.. Want to try which one is suitable for you.. flash it and test it by your self.

You can feel the difference between them.

thanks

Crystal V5.1 is faster than Crystal V5 because of the Different OEMDrivers.

The best thing you can do is try both Shadow and Crystal and see for yourself.
The time it takes to open the windows folder depends to how many files are inside the windows folder!! so this is not a good measure of speed.
You can use SPB BenchMark to compare them.

There's no point in just using Windows folder.

My Dopod is using Mysterious 1.1.
Windows takes less than 4 seconds.
Bootup, on the other hand, takes for ever (more than 1 and a half minute)
As well... It is also sluggish. I'm flashing Crystal today.

Well. it's differant every time u flash a same rom. It means if u use Crystal 5.1 or any other rom, it will give u differant results every time u flash it. It's quiet strange, but that's ur "Prophet". It's behaviour is differant with every flash. So there is no problem with choosing a rom. When u are satisfied with a rom, just give it a try. There is no question at all about performance. Because in a month "They" are giving u a new rom. So what's the big deal? Are u going to question every time, which one is faster, which is not? Be brave mann. Just give it a try. And u don't need to ask any one. U simply get it.

I hope this satisfies ur question.

All i know...

BOTH ROMS are GREAT!!! :)

Abosulutely true. :) How I wish there is a utility that you can backup all the personal apps and can be restored either in the ROMS. Is there a utility like that? That will only backup the dll and everything that your every personal application has and then safe to restore on any ROM (of course all wm6)? :)

After lots of thinking and reaing I finally flashed Shadow Clean. I haven't really any experience fromCrystal V.5.1, but, all I can say for the "Light" Shadow is tha it's blazing fast! My poor Prophet has been transformed to an new device! Now there is no reason to replace it with a faster device! Everything runs so smoothly!

Thanks to all cookers out there!!!

Well, I lived with Mysterious the beauty for a long while..
Reboot took only 40s in my case all the long period i used it!

@all:

As for "the span of windows-folder-opening", I am personally convinced that it is SIGNIFICANTLY important. Not only does it take CONSIDERABLY less time to open the folder, it SUBSTANTIALLY shortens the waiting time whenever an application related to files in the windows folder is applied.

Let's put it this way--An F1 car is not only powerful but also LIGHT-WEIGHTING. Contrarily, a powerful monster without light-weighting is A TRUCK....

When we talk about SPEED, the best argument is NEITHER figures, benchmarks, NOR any other ENDUSER-FORMIDABLE JARGONS. Rather, the very users' EXPERIENCE tells everything!

ShadoW_Touch_Edition, for instance, is UNDOUBTEDLY an art of the nation, a real fast thing,--taking barely more than 1/4 round of the wait-cursor to open the windows folder, sacrificing nothing luxurious such as HTC Ablum, HTC Action, HTC RandomAccess, HTC Dialpad, HTC CommManager and HTC LargeMenu and you named it, hundreds of its graphics PAINSTAKINGLY re-located into the ext_rom while merely fewer than 1500 files kept in the windows folder--an Ace Ferrari inviting you to experience what the definition of SPEED should be....

All rom-masters and their arts are highly appreciated for sure. Only let's face it when SPEED is concerned--the span to open the windows folder requires not only the build version of the core, but also dedication, genius and creativity!

The gibberish above is my very personal idea. No time-wasting war of spit is expected.

Best,

yes
I think it's a great thing to compare.
no one wants to think less of any of the great roms or their cookers.
we all greatly appreciate the hard efforts and time they put into this thing.

It has become one of my hobbies to change my rom every now and then.
but it's good to know the weak and strong points of each rom from other users opinion.

by the way the shadow clean edition was very fast and really clean !
but after some days it has become a little slow for me.
now I'm using touch edition to see what happens with it...

I think we should considerthe roms in 2 stages :
first when they are new and exactley after flashing
second would be after some usage and programs installing and how they react to different utilities in more days after flashing


one more thing I should add:
I think the volume of sms and call ring tones in shadow clean are much higher than my old wm5.
don't know if that's possible or not but I just feel it.
and about the touch edition I can't still tell.
