View Full Version : liberty 0.4 or apex 2.0 or lexlite 4.4??????
which is the best rom?
You can't go wrong, bit everyone has their favorites. Personally, I run liberty, but that's just me. Try em all!
Coming from a Guy that beta tested lexlite 4.4. It is smooth. I would guarantee you will not have a fc there. People brag about battery life but believe me his battery tweeks are out of this world. I typically spend about 3 hours a day on the phone send and receive over 20 emails a day and several text messages. Battery would only be down to around 60% at bedtime. Do not use any overclock apps with that rom. You will not get any better and will probably mess up his tweeks. Just my opinion.
Where do you find Lexlite4.4 download ?
I've got to say that both Apex2 and Liberty. 5 are really good. I can't decide. I'm going back and forth using two good nandroids which I update. They both are smooth. I get a few random reboots on Liberty which I don't on Apex. I think this is related to better memory management byApex. You'll get a good rom either way. Oh and blue bread is a very nice theme.
Besides the battery tweaks and such, are there any major differences between apex and lexlite?
For GB roms, I've run Liberty .4, .5 and Apex 2.0 beta. On Froyo I was a HUGE Liberty fan. Right now I'm sticking with Apex. Super smooth, clean, no mess or fuss. The Liberty toolbox has been a little flaky and causes some hiccups here and there and thus another reason I'm sticking with Apex right now.
I'm running Liberty v .5, I've had some rebooting problems but I think this might be due to GB and Titanium Backup not agreeing. Fairly stable, and great battery life. Used the donate toolbox to get from Froyo to GB and it was so simple! Jrummy is always on point.
Greetings X'ers.. I have testing both rather extensively. With the exception of gaming, I only play simple arcade stuff like Angry Birds, Bubble Pop, Freecell, Frozen Bubble, and if you haven't played it, And excellent Open Source game I found for a linux distro I think (aahh Im not sure tonight, cant remember even if its open source, but I know its free w/o ads. I got hooked on this because of the instant gratification it gives. You can play a game in minutes when you first start, then as you get better, maybe 15 or so), Jooleem it is. Sorry for the off topic bit.
Apex ran really well also, I I think I like the look a bit better, but under that rom, I couldn't use the multitouch kb after enabling swipe. I never found a workaround, there could be one. It too ran very well, battery life was great also. Im not sure, but for me the speed between the two wasn't noticable. I never did any benchmarking.
Id like to hear what people have to say about DrewGarens Roms. I'd like to try one of those, but I don't see how they could compare to Liberty, maybe to Apex, but Did mention how customizable Liberty is?
IMHO, Apex is superior when it comes to performance and usability. Liberty has always been a ROM that isn't immune to FC and random reboots; whereas Apex is the first ROM I've really used where it's never happened. Plus, it has a very accurate AOSP theme that other ROMs lack. Even the Liberty AOSP theme has a lot of obvious flaws. Sure, the Liberty Toolbox is nice (I donated) -- but all it does is make customzing more convenient. Everything it offers can be done on Apex it just requires more work. Apex 2.0.0 Beta is fantastic and extremely stable; I'm anxious for his .596 update.
EDIT: Also, Drew Garen's ROMs aren't bad but it seems to be more about style over function. I don't like the themes he uses and it's probably the most unstable ROM I've ever used and usually has a lot of random bugs and isn't maintained enough. Plus he makes the update process very tedious.
