[DISCUSSION] [Xperia T] "Official" CM11 vs FXP

[zandm7]

I've been wondering for awhile now, which is better? The official CM11 builds, or the unofficial FXP builds for Xperia T? If anyone's tried both recently, please give your thoughts on performance, battery life, stability, etc. comparisons between the two. Thanks!

Personally I think both are not great. Non of the custom roms are

That's not helpful, dude...if you're not going to contribute to the discussion then don't post. Thanks anyways though.

You're asking people for there opinion and i gave mine. I tried every rom so yes it does contribute to the discussion

When you simply say that you dislike both ROMs and all custom ROMs on the T in general, that's not contributing. It doesn't help anyone decide between CM11 and FXP. The discussion is about how you think these ROMs compare to each other. If you're just gonna say that you think they both suck, then there's no point in posting.

I suggest you know the "difference", if you could call it like this, of these two ROMs?
If not, I'll quote myself from another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54754522&postcount=1049)

They've [FPX] got their own FXP releases (unofficial CM releases) which do not come that frequent (with their own boot animation e.g.); in the meantime they work on official CM - so they make the nightlies and your [CM] M9, too.

Meaning: FXP releases necessarily/of course contain CM code, because they maintain/supply CM for our Xperias. For FXP unofficials don't come as frequently as CM nightlies, the chance of getting a stable build is bigger than with CM nightlies. Because the FXP releases always contain FXP boot animations, these will never be official CM builds - what, in the end, implicates that neither FXP nor CM is better per se.
I'd prefer FXP over CM nightlies, but a CM snapshot over FXP relases. Just a feeling - there's no absoulte answer.

TX here, but if I had to recommend one, I'd go with FXP, since I know that they at least do own a T, and can develop properly; at least it would seem so. Obviously FXP uses CM code.

On the other hand, if I had to choose, I'd choose neither and go with one of the Omni builds made by @tilal6991, since he's actually implemented fixes that, as far as I know, the "real" developers haven't done yet.

Most of the problems I see T users reporting (such as the blue screen flickers) are because they are using FXP/CM builds, and, as far as I know, Tilal fixed that, as an example.

We do not allow comparison threads on XDA, comparing or asking which is best can be seen as disrespectful towards the developers who's work is being compared. Besides the question is subjective.
