Rom selection help, please. - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There is entirely too much info available... I want a stable sense gingerbread rom for my incredible. A working camera is a must. Does such a beast exist? Links would be great. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA App

Such a beast does not exist YET. So far we've got a half working port of Incredible S which I believe is 2.3. I would really like to see it perfected. Until then the best sense ROM would be a Desire Z port, those are frigging fast.
EDIT: The Inc. S isn't GB, the Huashen or w/e is GB.
Sent from God, who uses CM7 RC1.

Though I do not have links handy, I will also put this information out there for you. At this time, there are 3 main gingerbread ROMs for Incredible, Cyanogenmod 7 (RC1 is out as well as nightlies), Evervolv (very slow updates), and OMFGB (kicked off this site). Currently, Cyanogenmod is the most stable and for me, the fastest. One thing the camera is missing though is 720p. This will likely be the case until we have a sense gingerbread build like you are talking about. The mentioned Incredible S port is still 2.2 based but has the new 2.5 senseui. The only gingerbread sense build out period right now is the one leaked for the Huashan (spelling?) but that has yet to be ported to Incredible yet.

Both CM7 and OMFGB have "working" cameras, but maybe not to the extent that you would want them.. it's still a work in progress.

I suggest going with chingys incrediblely re -engineered Rom.. very stable very fast with lous kernels

[Q] What is the best daily driver ROM as of 2/12/11?

Okay, so I know there have been similar threads out there, but none of them have been very recent. The Incredible Rom world has been getting a lot of dev support lately with roms being ported from other devices and people simply getting bored and coming over to the incredible.
I'm not new to hacking, flashing ROM's, kernels and etc--though this is my first post here, I've been lurking around for a couple of months now. I've tried Virtuous, Redemption, MIUI, Warm, CyanogenMod and several different kernels. I've found MIUI to be the most polished with the most features and support, Warm was the fastest when I used lou's kernel #8, Redemption came in 2nd with speed, and CyanogenMod was okay--but I probably wont go back. MIUI is my current daily driver, but I will soon be checking out Incredibly Re-Egineered and Liquid Metal--both of which I've heard were excellent daily drivers.
There is no way the average ROM user can really go through every ROM and find the best--but they don't have. With our large community, at least one of us has tried each ROM. So tell me, what ROM's have you used? Which ROM is currently your favorite daily driver and why?
Well if you prefer aosp then CM 6.1 stable (or the CM7 Nightlies which are stable and amazing.) Or CVPS Ruby 2.0.2 which is an excellent source build. If you prefer Sense the I would recommend Redemptionrom 2.3 (2.4 is on the horizon )or SkyRaider both are stable and well supported by their developers and the community. All the above have a good amount of options from kernels to mods/themes. I personally use CM, I have since the G1 oh so very long ago lol. So if you havent given GB CM7 a spin you should check it out with the new 2.6.37 kernel by slayher. I saw you like MIUI...though there's active support Im just not a fan of the apple esque ui...just preference i guess. Hope that helps.
Cheers

The question is whether you want a Sense ROM or AOSP ROM. I prefer Sense ROMs and am currently running Uber Z ROM, which is a port of the new Sense UI. However if you want an AOSP ROM that is still true to Android I would go with CM, but MIUI is a different beast entirely. It's all about personal preference though.
As far as kernels go I also prefer Lou's, but I have had solid performance with #9. However kernels are more specific to the hardware of your phone so just go with what works best for you.
Ive been using incredibly re engineered for a bit aswell as senseless revolution and i love both of them. Theyre great daily drivers and very fast

Try out OMFGB. I've been on it since mid-january.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
There are many choices. I look for the dev support and the community using it. If the thread if full of jerk comments, I pass. That being said...
Redemption, Redemptive, Inc-Re-engineered and Magnolia have great support and are customizable. I have had little to no issues with any of these.
There are some great Z-Roms out there as well. I was having issues with the exchange mail interface that was a deal breaker for me. I could not access the Corporate email list with it.
Tried out some new roms.
Great information guys. I personally prefer Sense, however don't mind AOSP roms much either. If it's feature rich, has good dev support, and not overly difficult to use--I can go either way (I just believe sense has a better backbone to work off.)
I think I'm going to try OMFGB and the Uber Z Rom next. I actually went ahead and tried Liquid Metal and Incredibly Re-engineered on today. Liquid Metal was very unique, and though it had some excellent features, it was a little too unique and complicated to navigate around--I just found the UI quite strange.
However, Incredibly Re-engineered I feel is just excellent. It's a lot like Warm 2.2, which I liked quite a bit, and I found it to have much fewer bugs--if any. It may be my new favorite (I personally didn't like the MIUI IPhone feel myself).
Please keep them coming guys.
I think ive tried ever rom. I love cm7 and with weather toggle widgets it looks like sense. Support is awesome! I enjoy the z roms although they dont enjoy me. The mytouch 4g rom was the fastest ive ever seen, but its got a few issues. Just remember, all roms have their own little quirks, its all about what you can live with. Personally for me and what i use, cm7 is the most stable rom ive ever used. All the roms are great, i take my hat off to the devs, i wish i had their talent.

I find myself always coming back to SkyRaider Sense 3.5 with HeyItsLou's #7 kernel... a very stable combo on my phone. I have run pretty much all of the roms on the first 2 pages of the Dev thread and have much love and thanks to all of the developers for taking time to let the rest of us enjoy the fruits of their labors
Sent from a pay phone.
I've tried a few ROMs and kernels and I've always gravitated back to Hey It's Lou Redemptive Revolution latest ROM and #9 kernel.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Currently, I use CM6 for the DInc. Until an official stable release of CM7 comes out I'll probably stick with this (mainly b/c I'm lazy). It has a very nice feature set and it seems to be okay on my battery, I can last through the day and it is fine. I used to run a ROM with one of the kernels that focused on battery life. While I got amazing battery life (relatively speaking, as far as that goes for the DInc) sometimes the phone would seem sluggish. So while CM6 isn't the fastest, I think it's a nice compromise.
-shrugs- my two cents
Other than triple Facebook Birthday events in my calendar, Virtuous 3.2.0 still does the trick here.
SenseUI. Virtually completely stock, with all of the normal Root Access goodies, and 100% stable.
Cyanogenmod 6.1 worked great for me. I also had no problem with the nightly (#35). Both using stock cyanogenmod kernels. Ultimate Droid 3.0 just came out and it seems to work great as well.
I personally have been using Embrace Miui (a slightly stripped down , much more polished version than original build) with invisiblek #28 kernel and have had no problems and great battery life.
So basically my suggestion would be embrace (if you like miui), Cyanogenmod 6.1 (if you want froyo) or UD 3.0 (if you want gingerbread). If you want an aftermarket kernel, I suggest invisiblek (for froyo builds).
+1 for HeyItsLou's Redemtive rEVOlution rom, Skyraider is great too, althought i haven't had one on since 2.5. Every Gingerbread rom I've tried has gps issues with my phone. Until I can find a good Gingy rom, rEVO rom is what I'm stickin with.
Athena 1.2 and Myn. Great roms.
Incredibly Re-engineered
I have tried most of the roms on xda and just flashed Incredibly Re-Engineered for the first time when the newest version (2.3) came out about a week ago. I have been running it for the entire week now with not a single problem whatsoever. It is lightning fast and has a stock feel to the UI which is what I like. Also, the developer seems great and appears to help literally in anyway he can to fulfill peoples requests for custom made features. I will be sticking with this rom probably as my permanent, of course besides taking new ones for test drives as they come out. Just my 2 cents...
Athena... STABLE, snappy, long battery life, nice customization options and sense(less).
Been waiting for a ROM like this since I got my Dinc.

[Q] Best updated Rom available for HTC Evo 4G

Hi Guys, I hope this topic is not repeated before.
I have HTC EVO 4G and since it got sluggish I want to root it I am a beginner so I dont have much experienced about rooting.
I looked here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
there are many different roms available for Evo and also I checked here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951057
I found out the most populars are :
1- MIUI and 2-MikFroyo
Since I like SENSE I chose MikFroyo.
What do you guys thing about Gingerbread ? what are the differences ?
Is MikFroyo Sense 1, or 2 or 3 ?
I've heard Sense 2 and 3 have many bugs...
I wanna stick with Sense 1 and also having 4G is very important for me.
please Advise
thanks
Those roms are very popular... when you root, just create a backup and try each rom. That way you can make your own decision of what you like. If you don't like the rom just flash another or restore your backup.

You won't go wrong with myn Rom. But if you care about speed and performance along with lots of themes and options, mikfroyo is a great starting point. I am a long time user of both mik and myn roms and I like them both.

I'd like to put in a good word for Koni's Elite. Series 3 is stable and smooth like butter, and Series 4is on its way. Great theming throughout, and still active development. Full of win!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I like Sense too, I think most roms (including Myns and MikFroyo) are unnecessarily cheesy in their design. Keep in mind if you want to run gingerbread roms, the kernel won't work properly with Novatec screens (stays full brightness). I'm currently on the DesireHD port but it has no 4g :\
Plutonium roms are very good. The most recent update was today, err yesterday. Everything works and it looks fantastic
ok, here goes.
first of all, yes this has been asked a thousand times per day, but people have fun answering them
sense roms are based off stock evo sprint software. if you like sense roms, you best choices will be:
myn's warm twopointtwo, for a smooth, themed, and slick stockish experiance, try this oldie but goodie.
mikfroyo, updated more often. optimized way over the top. i personally don't like the theme, and think if you want that speed go for aosp, but whatever. a bunch of people like it.
koni's elite. one of the newer good sense roms. good themeing. fast. optimized. everything else the other two have, just different...
aosp roms are based off stock google source code. they are not built for the evo (or until like 2 weeks ago, not built for sprint, cdma, or wimax) but have been ported exelently. these are much faster than sense, and about half the size. they have a different look, feel, and functionality though. they are based on gingerbread, not froyo like stock evo.
cm7 (cyanogenmod 7): simply the best. most other aosp roms based off of this. a gigantic project that spans across ~30 phones with ~24 official developers and many more unnoficially contributing to the open sourced code. fast, stable, WORKING 4G AND HDMI!!! (took monts to do those 2). everything works (except 720p video recording, but 480 is just as good). really, try this one first. nightlys are released every night, stables are not. you can see the very complicated changelog along with links here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
miui: based (sorta i think) off cm7. very iphone-like rom. built to have the best of iphone and android, with some added goodies. i persoanlly don't like it, but many swear by it. sorta a you like it or you don't thing. 4g doesn't work.
deck's: another cm7 based rom. basically slimmed down cm7. idk why you'd need to slim something already half the size of sense down further, but some people claim unreal battery life. 4g and hdmi also work cuz it's based on cm7
savagedzen rom: NOT built from cm7 (yes, this is a bragging right), very stock gingerbread, with lots of kernel tweaks. not based on cm7, yet 4g and hdmi work.
salvagemod: even more stock gingerbread. 4g works. not hdmi.
ports: the name explains it all. 4g doens't work for these, except the rare exceptions. virus is the one who's ripping out port after port after port recently.
a sense hd port: mik and myn both have one of these. froyo with sense 2.1. no 4g.
virus gingersense: sense 2.1, gingerbread. no 4g, but the rest is working.
virus kingdom port: based on an unreleased, unrevealed device called the htc kingdom. 4G WORKS. still in deep beta. sense 3.0, and gingerbread. sense 3.0 is pretty crazy.
so yeah. i personally use cm7 with tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and a modnation theme (whichever we r testing). try as many as u like. if you like it, make a backup.
edit: wow. this is long. lol

+1. very informative. thank you.
I promise u that u will love miui and the great thing about miui well I should say one of the many great things about miui is that there are weekly updates . Every single Friday sometimes Saturday an update is released usually to fix any bugs.
I have been an miui user for months now and I can honestly say it cured my flashaholicism <--new word just added to the dictionary
Any way like every one said nandroid back up and give it a spin
There are so many great roms to choose from
*MiUi* Evo has Evolved
ROM is really user dependent. As long as you get a stable build try a bunch out. I tried mikfroyo, CM6, and a few random others before landing on Myn Warm Z twopointtwo. Just experiment and see what you like. If you like sense, try a sense based ROM. Most are optimized and are lightyears faster than the stock evo ROM.
Just look at what you want from a ROM, if 4g and HDMI aren't a huge concern theres a pretty extensive list of ROM's you can flash and enjoy!

[Q] any new ROMS?

i've been off of the ROm world for about a month now and I was wondering what the newest versions of popular roms are. thanks.
Virus is pretty much the man in charge right now. He has a gingerbread sense ROM with some stuff from 3.0 added. And he is also currently working on a new sense 3.0 rom and he is also working on an apparant 3D leak. Virus is bringing us the newest stuff before anybody else.

Uhh, no offense but with it's flat colors, and minimal color schemes, black white and green, CM7 at base is WAY uglier than any polished Sense ROM.....

If that works so good, and same with CM7, why does it need daily updates?

dude, themes. want me to show some screenies? cuz mine looks pretty damn cool...
btw no sense 2 roms have 4g, but virus's kingdom port has 4g
here's the 4th time i've used this today. here's a quote from an earlier post of mine. rundown of evo roms pretty much.
ok, here goes.
first of all, yes this has been asked a thousand times per day, but people have fun answering them
sense roms are based off stock evo sprint software. if you like sense roms, you best choices will be:
myn's warm twopointtwo, for a smooth, themed, and slick stockish experiance, try this oldie but goodie.
mikfroyo, updated more often. optimized way over the top. i personally don't like the theme, and think if you want that speed go for aosp, but whatever. a bunch of people like it.
koni's elite. one of the newer good sense roms. good themeing. fast. optimized. everything else the other two have, just different...
aosp roms are based off stock google source code. they are not built for the evo (or until like 2 weeks ago, not built for sprint, cdma, or wimax) but have been ported exelently. these are much faster than sense, and about half the size. they have a different look, feel, and functionality though. they are based on gingerbread, not froyo like stock evo.
cm7 (cyanogenmod 7): simply the best. most other aosp roms based off of this. a gigantic project that spans across ~30 phones with ~24 official developers and many more unnoficially contributing to the open sourced code. fast, stable, WORKING 4G AND HDMI!!! (took monts to do those 2). everything works (except 720p video recording, but 480 is just as good). really, try this one first. nightlys are released every night, stables are not. you can see the very complicated changelog along with links here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
miui: based (sorta i think) off cm7. very iphone-like rom. built to have the best of iphone and android, with some added goodies. i persoanlly don't like it, but many swear by it. sorta a you like it or you don't thing. 4g doesn't work.
deck's: another cm7 based rom. basically slimmed down cm7. idk why you'd need to slim something already half the size of sense down further, but some people claim unreal battery life. 4g and hdmi also work cuz it's based on cm7
savagedzen rom: NOT built from cm7 (yes, this is a bragging right), very stock gingerbread, with lots of kernel tweaks. not based on cm7, yet 4g and hdmi work.
salvagemod: even more stock gingerbread. 4g works. not hdmi.
ports: the name explains it all. 4g doens't work for these, except the rare exceptions. virus is the one who's ripping out port after port after port recently.
a sense hd port: mik and myn both have one of these. froyo with sense 2.1. no 4g.
virus gingersense: sense 2.1, gingerbread. no 4g, but the rest is working.
virus kingdom port: based on an unreleased, unrevealed device called the htc kingdom. 4G WORKS. still in deep beta. sense 3.0, and gingerbread. sense 3.0 is pretty crazy.
so yeah. i personally use cm7 with tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and a modnation theme (whichever we r testing). try as many as u like. if you like it, make a backup.

[Q] Fastest Sense Rom

As of right now what is currently the fastest/smoothest Sense rom that is still being supported by the dev? Any comments are appreciated
As far as still supported you might be hard to find consitency...
My opinions would be for:
TeeROM 3.0 - developers "final" version
Stock+ 3.01 - Not getting active dev but its by far one of the best Sense roms.
McSense 2.6 - Another solid but non-dev rom
Edit: The likelyhood of finding a sense rom 2.1 or higher that is fast on the incredible is very unlikely. Way to resource needy.

My port of MikG is snappy and trouble free. Of course I could be a little biased. Lol. But seriously. It is the best Sense 2.1 + ROM as far as stability and speed. That's why I ported over the newest version for us. Try it at theMikMik. MikG Incredible forum. I think you'll be pleased.

I'd say any of the Sense 1.0 roms should be fine. If you want one without bloat, or many tweaks, Liberation 3.0 would fit the bill. It's been tested for stability. It is the final version though.
McSense is also a good choice for some theming and tweaks.
I just avoid any rom based off of another phone (port). Including Sense 3.0+
Personally I run a custom cm7 kang that I've stripped down and removed everything I deemed unnecessary. Turned off animations, use Launcher Pro, and it flies faster than any Sense rom.

What parts of sense are you wanting intact? If you're simply looking to stay away from AOSP, my experience with Insensitive Minimalist has been excellent. Very fast and designed to be highly customizable. I like it so much for its stability and compatibility I keep flashing back to my backup of that while I wait on issues to get hammered out of ICS. My other dinc is running Stock+, so if you want a ROM that is mostly stock, its also good. Inc Ultimate looks like its worth a try, but I haven't gotten around to it.
Ultimately, "still in development" is something I don't think applies to any sense Rom at the moment, as most of the really active devs seem to have moved on to other devices.
I flashed MikG and so far I'm loving it How is it with Gingertiny kernel?
I haven't tried them all, but have tried a few of the Sense 3.5 roms - and of course my stock Sense 2 roms - Virtuous Unity, Sense...quite slow and laggy.
Also tried BeatMod Bliss Sense - again same story...slow, laggy.
But just switched from G-Lite 2 (non sense rom( to MikRoms MikRunny 1.0 and for a Sense 3.5 based rom it's FAST. Faster than my original slow Gingerbread ROM, actually!
Add Supercharger script and a SDcard partition and you're flying ;-)
Oh I have a Desire Z, so RAM/speed is a real issue. So impressive that a ROM could run anything about Sense 2 at anything but prehistoric speeds :-D
