[Q] CM7 vs. MIUI

[Glamsen]

As both CM7 and MIUI have really matured over the last weeks and samsung is still not able to get to develop a stable gingerbread version I think its time to have a deeper look into the alternatives. What do you think, what is the best solution for the sgs right now? please also post experiences, but really valuable I guess are only experiences with current CM7 or MIUI versions!

Samsung gingerbread is as stable, or more, than CM7/MIUI, meaning none is 100% stable, what is your problem...

 

[dadyal]

Samsung roms are better for now

 

[borjaag]

All of them has a special thing...

Now I am using Gelnet Miui rom and it is fantastic an also stable!
You should try it

cm7 and miui are both very fast, even with lagfix on samsung roms you can see minor lags but...
cm7 and miui have bugs that made me go back to samsung custom rom.
the camera does not work even regular picture looks bad sometimes, battery drain in cm7 is also worst than any bug samsung has, if the camera and the battery does not bother you so you can give it a try.
another reason i go back to samsung rom is the brightness change from the notification bar and the swype left for calls in contacts or logs (very usefull while you are driving).

thanks, but may I ask, when you tried out CM7? Ive read, that bettery is now even better lightly than with Sams FW and apparently the camera issues have also been fixed, at least by GALNET...for the swyping contacts i suppose there are alternative contacts apks?
cheers

I've just joined CM7 and have had slightly better battery power and no camera issues at all. I'm really impressed with the whole package. I can't imagine going back to stock ROM. Everything is stable and fast.

CM7 is very stable on my phone, better than last official ROM, so I keep it.

I installed both of them on my phone. CM7 had radio problem which didnt work (although there are CM7 radio patch which could be flashed). MIUI had a problem with getting network. Kept getting SOS signal only. Tried flashing 2-3 different MIUI roms and all of them had this problem of no network. Think since there are so many custom roms based on official firmware out there, it makes sense to install them over CM7/MIUI.

are you serious? that sounds awesome, if someone could pls confirm that! the last time i tried miui/cm7 i could just survive the day with massive undervolting and custom kernels which was simply put inacceptable for daily use.. using the same voltage settings on stock roms give me more than 3 days, same usage pattern.

I am using CM7 and battery life has improved but dont expect more than 1 1/2 day,

If battery life is your major concern then stick to the one you are happy with

i don't like that my Android seems like an iPhone... no no.. Miui is not for me, it's just a copy (according to me, design is too similar...)

 

[auralzx]

thank you for the pointless thread, which opens a discussion that leads nowhere!

 

[prztruspaz]

It is similar to the iphone but just think of it as way more customizeable ; im on miui right now and i couldnt be any more satisyfied; lol its gotten so better that their going to make a miui phone... thas something

iv been trying out nearly all roms around here

and i can say cm7 is by far the superior rom out there

BUT

besides all the people always telling battery gets better and this might even be the case but the batt is still VERY weak

no comparison to stock rom

 

[Mrsoprano]

I mount the CM7, but now I also had the MIUI, I think the CM7 is better, speed, performance and stability

I tried the latest cm7 nightly a couple weeks ago. It was interesting, but definitely wasnt as smooth and polished as jvq. It also crashed a couple of times. Went back to jvq which I'm happy with for now.

please add darky on poll

I change rom every week and have found that the best battery is with stock miui from MIUIAndroid.com. However, I never turn on data until I need it. With this after 11 hours medium usage I was still on 80%!
