Hey just came from a MyTouch 4G and wondering what is the best ROM for the G2? I don't want to just flash anything so any help would be appreciated .
CM is the best around
Flash a CM7 nightly, pretty stable to use as a daily driver, and it's full of gingerbread goodness The stable RC1 should drop in a few days if your a bit squirmish about nightlies.
Also, there's the stable froyo CM6.1.1 which works perfectly
Can you explain this to me more deeply and possibly point me in the right direction . I'm new to the G2 not to mention the Android scene lol.
Go to the Android Development forum, poke around in the root threads, and poke around in the stickies. Do your homework and use the search field. Nearly 100% of the questions you will have, have already been answered.
CyanogenMod ("CM") is the most popular ROM probably, and is available on all major android devices.
CM6.1.1 is stable and is based on 2.2 Froyo.
CM7 is based on 2.3, and is in "nightly" versions right now, but should be stable soon, as the other poster mentioned.

Hello all-
I LOVE trying out roms and kernals, and I am growing tired of every rom and kernal stating "stable, fast, totally awesome, etc" I know there are some awesome roms and kernals out there but I wanted to know what YOU believe is the fastest and/or most stable ROM and kernal out there?
Skyraider 3.5 with any of lou's kernels from 6 onwards.
Simple. The latest cm7 nightly.

No, nightlies by definition are not stable. they are experimental builds. many things break in the nightlies.
not being difficult but this thread definitely does not belong in the dev section. this should be in the general or q&a section.
doesnt mean it isnt stable for him..
Myns roms are always stable for me

I agree it belongs in Q&A, but I stand by my response. I believe it is the most stable ROM at this point in time for Inc no matter what the "definition" is.
OP check it out. Are you on a SLCD or AMOLED?

i have had a few issues on cm7. the latest one was on #19 - i lost mobile network data connectivity. also check the CM7 & Protekk threads. there have been gps issues on the protekk #10 build too. this thing is far from stable. the most stable roms I ever used were:
1. the verizon stock build
2. virtuous
3. redemption
4. skyraider
However, I choose to not run any of those because they are too simple I am a rom philanderer and cm7 and the desire z and other roms I use are full of features I want. Stability is overrated IMHO. Thats my opinion.

Well said. I wouldn't know how stable the verizon stock build is as of late. The one I had when I got the phone in April 2010 was not even close to stable.
Virtuous was my 1st rooted ROM it was fantastically stable
Redemption was excellent as well for stability although mms was hit and miss sometimes as well as theming breaking optimizations at times.
Never ran SR long enough to judge for myself.
Funny about the gps issue. I just tested this right now and if you don't leave it on, which a lot of people do, there is a re-acquiring satellite issue until a reboot. This is the 1st bump I've hit with nightly 17, and although I'll never see it as I leave gps on it is a bump. Thanks for pointing it out!

My choice is Warm Z 2.2, which, even though I am using the Re-Engineered Nightlies, it is still very stable and extremely snappy with Hydra’s Stock speed undervolted kernel, to mention incredible (yes, pun intended) battery life, even with the pile of dog crap that is the stock battery.

Thanks, the last verizon build (that was deodexed and posted in nov i think) was stable. Not sure whether I had a bad download but I had data network issues with #19 too. I also did not notice the GPS issue (since I leave it on) until I read about it.
I love me some myn 2. 2 rsl 4. Ziggy mightyrom #3 (stock rom kernel).
CM7 nightly's have been my daily driver.
CM7 nightly
Been using protekks cm7 daily builds im currently on #8 with invisiblek and life has been sweet!! incredikernel was nice outside of the fact it made my phone get warm when it was charging.

Is the hydrakernel strictly froyo? No info on the page about it
HTC DINC
CyanogenMod 7 By Protekk
Invisiblekk 2.6.37.2
Currently Testing Radio 09.01
ADW Launcher EX
Magnolia with Ziggy's CFS HAVS kernel has been treating me quite nicely! Very stable even at overclocked speeds like 1.15. It's smooth, but not the fastest ROM out there. CM6 is pretty stable too with stock kernel, and very snappy!
I think CM7 has the most promise, but for stability I would say that the SkyRaider ROMs were always the most stable. I tried Myns but I had a few problems and returned to SkyRaider Athena.
OMFGB 1.1.1 with Invisiblek's latest GB kernel. I get 200+ uptime without any slow downs, I end up rebooting for an updated kernel. I got one FC on the Rom since I installed it and it was for LauncherPro
If you want stability you need to stick with HTC Sense and a good solid kernel like chad's incredikernel.
AOSP ROM's have a tendency to not be nearly as stable, although they can run faster and have some other features you mind find interesting.
A top choice for a Sense ROM is SkyRaider 3.5
AOSP as you can see, CM7 is a lot of people's first choice- but it is not as stable as most sense ROM's but I wouldn't call it unstable either.
sup sup guys i just want any suggestion in a aosp rom that has froyo but wit a good battery life and a good speed and if u can tell any kernel that would be perfect
and thnx in adv
CM6...go for a savaged-zen kernel.
Miui's last Froyo build is really fast, stable and has really good battery life on the baked in kernel.... I think its either a SavagedZen or Tiamt(I think that's how its spelled). But no 4g, that's a killer for most though.
Sent from my MIUI havin, Gingerbread Throwing EVO
I've heard alot about CM, but had trouble flashing it one time and moved on to another. First I ran MIUI, it's very clean looking and smooth. They are on the gingerbread builds now, but you can find the froyo versions on their thread here in XDA.
I just recently flashed Savaged Zen rc2 and must say it is solid for a gingerbread build. I'm not sure they have any froyo builds as it's a pretty new rom. CM definitely has the majority of followers out of the 3.
Only dl miui if you like iphone interface.
I'm a cm man, nothing comes close for me
swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
I've been looking at new roms recently. Currently I'm on redemptive rEVOlution, the senseless version with launcher pro. Any recommendations on what the best roms out there are right now? It doesn't have to be aosp likle CM7 or whatever, I'm just looking for one of the speediest and most stable roms out there.
Gonna have to go with CM.
CM yeah, but which one? Is there a specific nightly build, a final version, release candidate that I should be looking for?
CM 7.0 is stable, but 7.1 is in RC right now so it's pretty good. CyanogenMod has a lot of nice little addons that become hard to live without, like quiet hours or the pull down toggles. Other roms have incorporated some of these things, but not necessarily all of them.
I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1 nightly 129 right now and it is running great. I haven't found another ROM that works 100% like Cyanogen, although I haven't tried anything Froyo on the Incredible.
Back on the Eris we had a few guys that would take the latest CM nightly and apply all sorts of little fixes and kernels and tweaks. Even though the Incredible is an official CM release, it would be nice if we had something like this here too.
definitely check out miui... It is really stable, smooth, has great battery life and lots of good features..
I am a big fan of OMFGB. The nightlies out now for 1.3 are very stable. It's 2.3.4 and the devs threw in a small twist for customization options but its very close to stock. It was good enough to switch me off of my sense based rom just because I am a big time optimization junkie. CM7 just did not appease me.
MIUI is, in my opinion, the best of all i've tried so far. i flashed every nightly from cyanogen up to around 100, then tried MIUI. and haven't even thought of going back. it's that good! my battery life went up, way up. you can customize it to your wit's end, and there's still room for more. so CM, or MIUI, you cannot go wrong. use the dual boot app that's floating around here, and you can have them both, basically..
Definitely quite happy with MIUI.

+ another 1 for MIUI. Customization City!
I have found the CM7.1, RC1 and MIUI are the most stable and have very good battery life with juice defender and Chad's incredikernel. I also like OMFGB and Evervolv roms, but the battery life was not as good. I use them all with DualRom X2. I think in the end, it is a matter of personal preference.
OMFGB hands down. no senseless menu digging for clock speeds, no unstability (for me) nand amazing battery life undervolted on chads betas
The MIUI Pure English ROM is hands down the best one, I have tried many Roms from froyo and sense but none hold a candle to the MIUI. There are so many things to customize, battery life is excellent and so far no force close, lags or shutdowns. Provided is a link to the thread, check it out.

So far I have had the best luck with CM7, have yet to find anything else with as much customizability, speed, and battery life build into one package.

I loved the rEVo roms, but alas I have settled on CM7 as well. Can't speak for the MIUI roms haven't tried them. CM roms are usually up to date, and problems are addressed very quickly. I'm a big fan of Sense, but unfortunatley I have yet to find one that works well with the new versions.
Miui all the way
MIUI is the best thing that ever happend to my incredible
MIUI is nice, it really is but its interface is soo different. its as if an iphone and an incredible had an illegitamate child and it was raised by htc sense. its really a stock vs features argument there.
I would say ultimate droid, but development has stopped because the dev was affected by storms, so I'll have to say omfgb.

looks as though, according to THIS thread, MIUI is the most popular. and yeah, i may be a little biased...
Hello everyone,
I'm new here and new to this scene, but familiar with hacking on other types of devices. My sis just upgraded her phone and gave me a Inc2. My first instinct was to hack it and so I ended up currently with a rooted S-off Inc2. My next issue is what Rom to use. I see so many out there and have had problems trying to install a couple. Since ther are so many, i know theres no clear cut "Latest and Greatest" but as i stand now, i have no clue where i should be looking. So I'm asking what u guys would consider latest and greatess. I'm really looking into going as high up in the OS as possible while also having the best stability with as much working as possible. Any Idea's?

What do you prefer? For ASOP, we have some very stable ICS CM9 ROM's and Stable CM10 Rom's. The CM10 ROMs don't have a working ffc camera or 720p camcorder, but everything else seems to work. For those who like sense, Nit's Sense 4 Viper Rom is quite nice. I typically change ROM's every two weeks, so i have tried quite a lot.
I vote for aeroevans CM10 or if you want ICS then Condemned Soul's Kangdemnation

Viperinc all da way

Well I'm not sure wether to go ASOP or Sense but from what i gather most ppl prefer ASOP, so I guess i would also. I generally would like to have everything working also.
Another thing thing would be that would i need to flash anything else besides the rom? Like kernels or anything?

Most of the op's have it spelled out exactly what to do , usually they include the kernel in the ROM
Btw : I think any of the still supported ROMs that you will find in the inc2 section are great I can't really quantify a ranking of them

Paranoid Android its a Phone/Tablet hybrid if you don't use the ffc or video that much it is my daily at the moment. "(11-4-2012)(JB)(CM10) Global 4.1.2 (4.2)" and "{10-25-2012}{Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9" are pretty smooth running roms (I haven't had a chance to give build 3 of CM10 a try yet). "[ROM] [Port] Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 [CM9.1 Stable]" another very good ICS rom and very stable as well. Those are the ones I have been messing with the last couple of months. I think it is all in your tastes amigo. If you are a flashaholic like most of us I am sure you will try most of them.
ViperINC if you don't need BT audio. There are issues with the fact that the beats audio controls the BT audio and there is no output.
