Can someone convince me to load the cm7 rom? What will I really gain by doing it? I maybe an engineer but I am not going to load something just for loading sake. One of those, if something right now is not broke, why do it?
I was thinking the same. Coming from stock ROM, I wanted to give IHO CM7.1 a try, if anything I needed wasn't working, I'd go to a stable Froyo 2.2-based ROM like Harmonia or Bumblebee. But It's been exceeding my expecatations (as long as you use clockworkmod recovery & follow the install directions properly) so as to not have random bugs introduced by improper installs.
CM7.1 gives me:
- Latest Android 2.3.5, with all its OS fixes/security patches/memory optimzations.
- Notification widget for quickly turning on/off GPS/3G/Wifi/BT..etc. (only 2 actions needed, swipe down & press after it's setup) There are other apps, but this one is efficient and accessible from the status bar anywhere.
- battery percentage built-in in statusbar.
- battery usage plot/graph over time built-in.
- less than 1%/hour battery drain idling with cell signal.
- GB's built-in VoiP calling works pretty well over wifi (over 3G, it's choppy prob due to VM's network). Groove IP doesn't yet.
- faster charging over USB.
As of 0730's build, one of the major remaining issues BT is fixed too.
What's the built in VoIP in GB? Is it also there in AOSP 2.3.4? Where? Thanks.
lol why should we convince you ? if you dont wanna, dont.
Some people seek to be englightened, others stay with what they're comfortable with.
if he wants to be "enlightened" then he can try like everyone else.. its not rlly that hard.
