  1. what about battery life? and speed performance?.

    ReplyDelete
  2. I installed this a couple days ago and I'm not convinced. It seems battery life has worsened. I think EAv5 is preferable, while we await EAv6.

    ReplyDelete
  3. same here.. EAv5 has a better battery life. EAv5.1 has better Wifi reconnect time. Am using EAv5 with ubuntu kernel.

  4. opinion please..
    actually i never had an urge to use cm.the endless update really annoy me(no grudge)but after all this update i've been follow bout this rom,kinda interesting to try,can anyone tell what pro/con when using this rom.and why is it this rom is prefer more than other rom release?

    ReplyDelete
  5. @terry - This ROM, although based on CM nightly, is a very stable ROM. Problems in CM7 like low battery, poor Wifi, frequent reboots, screen rotations, none of these exist in this :) Try this ROM, you wont regret.
    Hanging up a call causes issue at times like CM7.
    ROM is smooth and breeze. And if you happy with this ROM u might as well stay with it rather than flashing nightlies every night

  6. Also I personally vouch for this and not SuperOSR for two reasons:
    1. In OSR the applications at times keep downloading again and again from Market and not get installed, ANNOYING!
    2. Due to some memory issues, i was losing my SMS in OSR ROM

    But again, it might be prob with my phone only or general, I can't confirm on that.

    EAv5 has a better battery life than EAv5.1

    ReplyDelete
  7. So EaV5 has better battery life than SuperOSR?

    ReplyDelete
  8. @expert - Check if your APN is present. Else u need to create it for your service provider.

    ReplyDelete
  9. @aevum
    so your saying that this rom is better......
    is it really 'that' stable? coz i see there is no ending for this update....
    i now staying at superosr, but personally, this osr rom is quite dissapointing me... even its more reliable(battery,wifi and more 'handsome' than phantom) but i seek more on performance rather than appearance.
    (that,s because i compete with my big bro, he using galaxy s and i rather say its not about the machine, its how u use it!) :)

    maybe i should try this rom, anyone care to give me instruction...i'm no noob, just to be sure everthing is ok.

    ReplyDelete
  10. @aevum
    Anyway, thanks for the info and opinion. better charge my fone, coz cm is on the way.....

    ReplyDelete
  11. @terry - It is "that" stable :).. new release come to perfect more n more as with any ROM. Its less disappointing to me than OSR :P

    ReplyDelete
  23. 1 more thing..my csl mi300 is same like apanda a60..other model,i dont know it same or not..

    ReplyDelete
  24. @syidi kenpachi = Your recovery got corrupt cache. you need to select "Erase recovery" option from settings of ROM Manager then flash your recovery and select reboot into recovery option form ROM Manager.

    Alternatively, you can flash recovery from command prompt. For files and instructions for this , refer to Phantom's ROM manual

    And if you google you'll find your CSL is same Spice MI300 / A60/ XT502

    ReplyDelete
  25. @syidi kenpachi
    i also using the same fone as u.csl mi300.™and also got exp juz like u but in my case,i rather say what @aevum say is def right,but for a noob,i say it is not recommanded to do that way(no offence aevum).
    when my fone turn juz like u say,juz download phantom rev .nbo ans sutlr.flash your fone by selecting erase user data.after it nearly finish,sometimes the fone doesnt want to reboot but the process in sutlr say reboot device,if u wait long enough but it still not reboot (basicly about 5-10 second after reboot device command out) u need to help ur fone to reboot.but,reboot recovery but pressing cam+up+power.
    but if u already late to do that,its ok.juz ignore the failed warning on sutlr and unplug ur fone.than finish reboot ur device and u will get ur standard recovery back

    ReplyDelete
  26. and also.if ur choose to use my way after all that.dont forget to master reset red+cam+power.than if u wanna use this amazing cm rom (thanks aevum for ur advice),update ur recovery using rom manager by choosing commotiva/mi300 and follow @aevum instruction,carefully.

    ReplyDelete
  27. by da way,thanks a lot @aevum for the ubuntu kernel.i using this rom right now with the u-kern definitely owesome juz like u say,but....only if the battery is better

    ReplyDelete

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z26WFTXN

    more fluidity

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hi Aevum, after applying the updated Ubuntu kernel #3, my phone doesn't load at all. Any help please? thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  30. never mind, got it now. Have to recovery using android sdk and fastboot mode. Rollback to ubuntu kernel #2. I think my ph doesn't work with #3.

    ReplyDelete
  31. @aevum, how will the ubuntu kernel differ from the stock aosp/cm7 kernel? Please provide any pointers that you can on updates done to the kernel.

    ReplyDelete
  32. with ubunto kernel #3 it works for me, further a few questions:
    how can we improve our devices to more power and speed? also more battery live time?
    - what about swap, any experieces?
    -is there any comatiple app to undervolt cpu?

    other things like better audio controls?
    - any other things like other cm7 settings?
    - swappness changeable? sense?

    WHAT are other good web sites about our devices?

    ReplyDelete
  36. can upload Ubuntu kernel #3 to other server? I cannot download from megaupload

    ReplyDelete
  37. @Leong CM,

    here it's: http://ifile.it/3ykpeug

    @aevum,

    I second for syidi's question. I still can't upgrade to ea-v51. If it's better, I'll update it. Can you also tell me how to? I tried renaming to update.zip and upgrade but it didn't work. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  38. @ Terry and Aevom...i just install plant vs zombie v 1.0 and it force close when loading...can u help me what the cause for that...?as i know, need to install chainfire 3D...isnt it..?i`ve done but still force close when loading PVZ..

    ReplyDelete
  39. my spice Mi300 has no signal using this rom.
    how to fixed it?

    sorry for my bad english :-)

    ReplyDelete
  40. @hicarlwere & kriska123 - Flash EAv5 nb0 first then upgrade using the 5.1 zip to avoid no signal

    @syidi kenpachi: am not into games, sorry can't help you on that. But i did play it once long before in 2.2 ROM but never knew/felt it required chainfire drivers especially.

    @syidi kenpachi & Talkii - I'll tell what i did. v5.1 eats battery but v5 has wifi issues. So wat i did was flash U#3 kernel on EAv5. Now I have EAv5 with Ubuntu #3 kernel: wifi is smooth and fluidity has increased

    @Markus and MiteshPC -
    1. Ubuntu#3 kernel has better wifi connectivity than aosp/CM7. more stable.
    2. And SWAP in Android is just WRONG. Please don't create swap partition unless you are using Link2SD or something that requires it exclusively.
    3. For undervolting I don't know any apk for Boston. However setvel is the apk that I have tried in my bro's Defy and it works magic. Never tried frying my boston with that. Your call xD
    4. For sense in your boston u need NTSense(theme chooser apk), Sense bootanimations(adb), LP Plus Clock Widget(Sense Clock) and HTC wallpapers(:P) . All these you will find to download in XDA forums and maybe in androidpt as well.

    @all who complaining about battery - battery of boston for CM7 based ROMS will last only a day or less with moderate usage. Same for any typical android mobiles.

    Enjoy your Boston! (compromise the battery and FM-Radio) :)

    bout zomplan.i got no idea.but.when i play several heavy games,like ff8 or nds,pokeblack.what i did is i juz overclock my fone to the fullest using setcpu.vmheap also to the fullest and and i speed my sd using sd increase also to the fullest setting,i never use chai
    nfire because i didnt like that app.but beware,if u did what i write here.there will be a price for it,ur fone maybe,will be like me,overheat too much,and the funfact by me over this,i need to open my backcase and put my fone on a waterbag to cool it while playing games ; )
    and also,quite effective to put ur fone to plane mod while

    ReplyDelete
  43. i hav tried your zomplan games,and success to play,but i rather uninstall because it depend too much on ram.i hav tried several way to find a safe way to launch it,but there isnt a way.it kills almost all aapp even sys just to launch.if u wanna play it.juz overclock iur fone to 787 with min 600.compress ur ram to 28% and prefer more on quality rather than performance.fix ur permission after install.and u leave it to internal.let it be.but if u transfer to sd.make u increase the rate to 4096.rebbot and try,but the % of success is 1% only.i hav tried to launch it for almost 100 times only 1 timeit succes to launch.

  45. maybe an hour or two difference... doesnt matter much. but EA is more stable

  46. Off topic.. is there any MIUI ROM for z71? I searched on google but could not find one.

  48. @lawliet
    the link you gave has rom whose look is similar to miui
    rom is not miui

    ReplyDelete
  49. What aevum said is definitely right eav5 battery much more greater than eav 5.1+ ubuntu kernel,the wifi is much more stable.thanks for the update aevum.i ve changed from eav5.1 to eav 5. much better now

    ReplyDelete
  50. after using Phantom ROM, I do upgrade to EA v5, nothing problem with wifi/bluetooth, so i don't think i need upgrade to EA v5.1 because EA v5.1 only fix wifi/bluetooth, if you not face any problem with wifi/bluetooth, better stay with EA v5 for more battery life.

    ReplyDelete
  51. @Lawliet - Thanks but as Tarun Kumar said it is a look a like (based on CM7). I had fallback to Phantom sky rev. None of the Gingerbread was stable/fluid. All these ROM's are fast at the start but start to slow down after installing apps or 1-2 weeks of usage. Any one faced similar problem? If yes then any idea how to get similar performance over time?

    ReplyDelete
  52. @Aevum Dicessio - After updating it with ubuntu kernel screen rotation problem resolved but still facing problem with " error while searching networks "....n what about ubuntu kernel #3??is it new ?? can i try it??

    ReplyDelete
  53. @Vishal

    sorry.. my fail, i don't know
    this rom is just a MIUI look, not MIUI...

    ReplyDelete
  54. @STREETMIX RECORDs - when and where are you getting that error searching network? Kernel 3 is for more fluidity n Wifi. There is no compulsion to upgrade.

    ReplyDelete
  55. @Aevum - hmmm...Settings -> Wireless & Networks ->
    Mobile Networks -> Network Operators .
    Its fine on default or automatic network selection but when i select " Search networks " , every time it shows me this error " error while searching networks " . then i google this problem , seems like some other are already facing the same...i tried it alot but no luck with that. n thanks for your concern...

    ReplyDelete
  56. That's strange. Try this. Ask some friend of yours to give his SIM card who is on a different network and one on same network n see if this problem persists. It should not. In that case, you have to get a new SIM.

    ReplyDelete
  57. ya streetmix i can say re flash the rom and check what error you will get or be in the previous rom till you get a stable rom...

    ReplyDelete
  58. @Aevum - i already did that but no result..hmmm.. my actual problem is that my network operator provides two networks i.e 2G (automatic network) and another is 3G/HSPA , i want to jump on 3G network. Is der any other way to do so ?
    N i tried Ubuntu Kernel #3 , its good.

    @suneel-i re flash the rom many times but nothing..
    thanks

  59. Hi all !

    I really need your help guys !
    I'm not noob in the android world, but i'm noob with this phone :)

    So, somebody please give me a link to an article or something, in english if it's possible, where i can read about rooting this phone.
    I have running android 2.1 on it, and i don't know nothing ...

    Please someone help me !

    Thanks !

    ReplyDelete
  60. @Legycsapo - Its pretty simple :) Download universal AndRoot from market or from (http://www.mediafire.com/?9x34r3sux78q7xf). Then run the app and "Woot!" your phone is rooted.

    Although u not noob in android still a note .. If u downloading from link and transferring to SD card, make sure u have enabled the option from settings to install a third party apk.
    Also make sure to backup your mobile drivers before rooting from the CDROM drive that appears in my computer. Thanks, Enjoy !

    ReplyDelete
  61. oh.. just one more thing.. please select "Permanent Root" and NOT "Temporary Root" to avoid n/w issues

    ReplyDelete
  62. @Aevum Dicessio - Many thanks for help !!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Just 1 more question ... i have 2.1 on it ... i can flash this ROM without problem [Rom 2.3.5] CyanogenMod 7 EA v5.1 (zip) ? Or it has a new baseband or something ... ?

    ReplyDelete
  64. no first install eav5.0 nb0 ... then upgrade to this.

    ReplyDelete
  65. @legycsapo
    juz follow aevum instruction.root ur fone first. and update to eav 5 nbo using sutlr then update this rom .zip. Although using eav 5 with ubuntu kernel is much better.
    as for me. i'returning back to phantom.miss that rom so much ;)

    anyway @aevum, is it possible to use ubuntu kernal on phantom rev?,coz i know what phantom rom lack,and also.is it possible to use it with aosp?kinda frustating bout the battery life.

    ps. actually myfone went crazy becoz too much playing ff8. the temp turn out to be 70c and all sensor become wild. thats why i stay low for a while to rest my fone, gonna go back to this rom after my fone feel better :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. @terry - am already back to Phantom rev :). Coz i want to use my phone as just "regular phone" for sometime. And ubuntu kernel is for gingerbread not froyo. U can try combinations at your risk like flashing firetrap 2.2 kernel with phantom, not sure if your phone will be fried.
    For e.g. vasile had flashed firetrap/TI kernel in Bakpia and the battery life was great, but I didn't like the slow performance of that combo.

    ReplyDelete
  67. By Bakpia am referring Froyo Bakpia .. not the battery gobbler 2.3

    ReplyDelete
  68. i agree with aevum, if you want a rom that is better than stock 2.2 then go with phantom evolution. but if you enjoy flashing all these 2.3 roms, my advice is to buy a new phone (cheap or used will do) and use that as a primary phone since every now and then a new 2.3 rom might show up. i'm tired of flashing back to phantom after trying different roms. all 2.3 roms has bugs but they are faster and look better than phantom.

    ReplyDelete
  69. @ STREETMIX RECORDs.
    I reported this problem already months ago here, as far I know this has never been fixed. The original rom and on some custom roms this is not a problem but with CM you can forget it.

  70. @aevum
    do you hav prob with phantom browser?coz whether i pick other browser.i will hav prob using stock phantom browser.i hate using others becoz i like the stock.but somehow,certain site cannot be entered using stock browser,even here i cannot post a comment becoz the dialog box cant be seen.any suggestion?other than changing browser?

  71. I tried to install with SUT the JellyBeam_dalvick_sd rom, but afte 300sec the program returns with a fail ... :(

  72. hello i have a optimus boston and i have done the upgrade to the oficial 2.1 and now i can't get root access . what can i do? thanks

    ReplyDelete
  73. This is more stable than SuperOSR, updated to #3 kernel, fixes the issues like screen rotation, I've added some tweaks also like superchargeV6 and loopy smoothness script to add boost. I think I'll stick with this ROM for a while until they release the EAv6

    ReplyDelete
  74. sorry for the spam above but @terry, the post above was from phantom stock browser. The issue that u referred came on first time when i was not logged in to google account. If u logged in to google in stock browser or hit post comment again then the captcha comes in the dialog post. weird !

    ReplyDelete
  75. @vitor
    juz download universal androot and do permanent root
