Root Froyo 2.2 or Icarus 1.1?

[crismclaughlin]

Recently I upgraded my Ascend from 2.1 to 2.2 and I must say I am quite pleased, but I was wondering (since I can't seem to find benchmarks) what is more optimal... Froyo or Icarus 1.1? I have been hearing all the buzz about Icarus and now I am interested. What is everyone's thoughts?

May I suggest Cm7 the latest build is now fully functional. This is android 2.3.4 A very special thanks to Isaac for all his hard work and dedication, and making our phones more enjoyable!!!

+1

or try cm6...and it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to install and be up and running, and you can use cwm 2xxxx to install cm6 or cm7, and also with these 2 roms they are clock @ 710mhz.

CM7 forget the rest.

I installed Cyanogenmod 7. I must admit I am a little upset, the OS was extremely fast compared to froyo 2.2 but everything was buggy and it would hang randomly. I think I will give Icarus a try. Thanks for all the replies everyone.

You need to give it a few reboots to settle in. That lag turns into a lightning fast ROM. Read the notes.

neither! the Froyo ROM posted is a kitchen cooked POFS!!! Icraus, tho good, is no more than a striped down stock 2.1 with a few features added. CM6/7 both built from source for the Ascend, both are lighting fast compared to any other ROM out for the Ascend. CM7 now has everything working in it and has been stable with everything I've done with it.

You cant go wrong with either Cm6 or Cm7 IMHO!

I agree 100% well atleast on the Cm7 as I have not tried Cm6. I am not techy at all and I found it very simple to flash (once I got an sd card reader) But I must say Cm7 is awesome...no lag at all!!!

I had the Froyo 2.2 on my phone, It worked good for a while then completeley ****ed up... I had to go to the Iclarus 1.1 cause the Froyo started saying "No UIM Card" Wich is a sim card.. The 2.2 Froyo is for the Criket version of the Ascend so if you have it I would def, go to the 1.1

If you installed any ROM except icarus (2.1), CM6 (2.2), or CM7 (2.3), you need to wipe and flash one of those. Any other ROMs except those 2 are complete crap and will give you nothing but issue after issue.
