[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.

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

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.

New Incredible Owner :) - Have some Questions

Hi,
I'm coming from owning a Droid Eris. I had it rooted and know a decent deal about ROMs, etc.
First, what is the best way to root the Dinc? I used the one-click app on the Eris.
And what ROM would you recommend? I'm looking for a stable and fast ROM that has Sense.
Thank You

One of the quickest, most stable and clean sense ROM's would be
- Sky Raider's 3.5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787
An excellent Kernel that majorly helped improve my battery life
- Chad's Incredikernel :
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v.zip
You will need clockwork installed to create nandroid backups and also to flash new ROM's and Kernels, and additionally rooting your phone can be found below:
http://unrevoked.com/#inc
>> Everyone has their preference and I highly respect every developer on here, but there was just a few things in Lou's Kernel that bugged me.
I'm sure you will try a few ROM's before sticking with one, the above are just my suggestions. When running Chad's kernel, do not use setCPU or anything like it because it already has (a better) one built in that helps extend battery life with screen off, and performance/battery with screen on

Unrevoked.com to root.
IncRom for mostly stock sense ROM w/ some aesthetic touches - it's fast, stable, insane battery life.
IncrediblyReEngineered for a 'tricked out' very fast sense rom - stable and good battery life.

Thanks for the advice! That definitely helps.
I'm really liking the Incredibly Re-Engineered ROM because it seems fast, has Sense plus some tweaks and themes, and the dev does a good job updating it.
Just 2 questions:
1. It is based on the Evo framework. Is this okay? Is it still stable? I'm still kinda confused as to why I'd want to run a ROM built on the framework of another phone.
2. Is this ROM stable and pretty much bug free?
Thanks!!

Yup its perfectly fine. I also would recommend checking out the Redemptionrom and redemptive revolution rom. Both are very nice. There's so many good choices for the dinc.

Yes the EVO is very similar (in some cases identical) to the incredible.
Some say the EVO framework works better than stock, so that's why you see a couple of ROM's using it.

Go with Incubus's WarmZ......"F"ing AWESOME!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901822

Dinc Roms vs EVO/Z Roms
The differences are minimal, and in most cases never noticed. One thing that always bugged me about Incredible Re-Engineered along with other roms with the same framework (can't remember which it is) is that MMS/SMS doesn't work with wifi enabled. Which personally is a problem as my house has poor 3g connections. If your looking for a stable Rom with active community Virtuous, Sky Raider and Magnolia are all amazing Roms and communities with very responsive devs.

Incredibly Re-engineered is purely EVO framework. I'm a huge fan of Incredibly Re-engineered, specifically 2.3.1. Not so hot about 2.3.2. I had quirky problems with it. It comes with Lou's #8 which works flawlessly, but I've been most happy with the Hydra kernel that comes overclocked to 1.153GHz, and undervolted on lower voltages using an on-demand gov. I tried a number of ziggy's but the last stable release had dreadful wake-up speeds. I had stability issues with the Incredikernel.
I tried out Incredibly Re-engineered Z 1.01 and felt luke-warm about it. It's loaded with apps I had no want of and came with Chad's 12/23 which works well, can be overclocked easily, but isn't. When I applied any of the rock-solid Hydra Kernels to it, I.R Z took a dump in several ways in a huge hurry.
A big plus to me with straight Incredibly Re-engineered is the massive number of mods Chingy has for it. If your big on widgets, the 4x5 themes gives you 20% more desktop that you won't want to give up once you get used to it.

[Q] TeamVillain vs Cyanogen?

I've only flashed Team Villain and Cyanogen roms. Any recommendations on other folks roms I should try out and which do most think is better between those 2?

Xboarder56 v1.9

The sense roms are good. HomerSP's SenseGinger if you want gb sense and Virtuous for froyo. I find Virtuous to be slower as a UI, but faster "behind the scenes" as in running actual apps. Partially because overclock is available, partially because it's just faster even without oc.
Sense will always be a bit slower, but you should at least try it for a few days...really explore what it's about.
Edit: SenseGinger is a TeamVillain release, so forgive me if I falsely assumed you haven't gone with Sense before lol

Yes. This ROM is good indeed.
I started working with TeamVillain (GingerVillain 1.5 OC), than changed to Cyanogen (which I really dislike) and now I'm very happy with Xboarder56 v1.9. Updating and bugfixing is very fast and it is a "clear" Google Android.

that's funny, because both GV and "Stock" Gingerbread (the xboarder release) are CM-based...
I still to this day prefer GV1.5, even if it is antiquated by gingerbread rom standards. but really, it's almost identical to CM in most ways.

I know that they are both CM-based. The real CM (I tested the newest release) doesn't fit for me. It's more the style than functional issues. GV1.5 was great as well, but I ran into some errors with that. Unfortunately GV1.5 is not going to be updated that fast, so I decided to switch to the xboarder release.

PyroMod. It supports the real A2SD (not the crappy one Google introduced with Froyo).

I really like GV 1.5 but updates are slow to roll out. Seems almost as if the devs abandoned the rom. I'm on mexdroid V2 right now and loving it. Ill probably go back to GV once 2.0 arrives..

TeamVillain, was great but I just can't get either of my bluetooth headsets to pair with it. As I spend a lot of time driving (the law in Ontario does not allow cellphone use without a hends-free device) TeamVillain had to go. No bluetooth isues with either of the other roms.
Cyanogen felt somewhat slow until I overclocked it, and the Shazam Encore app kept kicking up force close errors (I like to tag songs from the radio), so I moved on from Cyanogen.
I love PyroMod, it is my daily driver. I have had no issues at all with it.

I loooove meXdroid meXperia V2. It's based off of cm nightlies, but the feel is completely unique for me. I guess it depends on your personal preference, but hey, give it a flash see what you think. I doubt that you will be dissapointed

Well the creator insists on you doing a full wipe before installing the rom, so battery life will suck for a few days until your phone relearns it's stats, so there is that. I personally use a wired headest for music quality instead of bluetooth, so I wouldn't really know if there are any issues or not. I'm pretty sure that there isn't but again, I'm not sure. Give it a try, I have yet to find a bug on the update, and this rom is very fast!

best aosp rom

what is a stable aosp rom with good battery life?

CM7, along with the Tiamat kernel.

Battery life depends on how one users their phone. I've ran cm7 and decks they're both about the same "based on how I use my phone" im a heavy user so my phone will last from 8am to about 7pm with 20% left. You have to just try different combos and kernels man.

Everybody is going to say Deck's ROM, somehow people are still supporting CM7 as well. As for me, I wholeheartedly suggest you watch VaelPak 4. It's Vaelek's AOSP Gingerbread project, it's in beta right now, but should go live quite soon. It's outstanding even as it is - I haven't had any problems with it.

This is basically an opinion thread, as different kernels perform differently on different phones. I, personally like savaged zens .0.2.1 the best (it's old, but my phone likes it).
As for rom, the only aosp rom I stick with is bdubs25 sick_with_it rom. Based on cm .70.3.1, I believe. But with awesome blue, honeycomb theming. Advanced settings has tablet tweaks, too. Like making notification bar open from bottom of screen, for example.
It really is a SICK rom. My fav by far
Happy flashing

I'll be the first to say that everybody should make a nandroid and try everything out. I personally loved VP 3.2, and VP4 is shaping up to be great, I really appreciate the interaction that Vaelek has with his community. But definitely try things out, see what works for you. Flashing is free.

Come on over to miui.us and take a look around. Lots of friendly people (members AND devs). Plenty of information, tips and tricks, themes, kernels, etc...
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with MIUI. And tomorrow's release is going to be especially exciting...
My vote is obviously MIUI. Although CM7 is another of my favorites.

lol decks 1.2y with savaged-zen kernel sbc

Ultimate Droid 3.3 with the tiamat kernel is another fine AOSP rom. Thats been my daily driver now for a month.
I will be looking at Vaelek's new AOSP rom when it gets just a bit more polished. His work is very good.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the suggestions given so far.

You always troll Deck's thread, 'informing' everyone that it's a rebranded CM7, as if it's a secret that it's based on CM7. Why do you care so much? It's all open source, and credit is given. Deck's runs better on my phone, so whatever changes he makes works well. Just in case you forgot, here is a little bit I copied from the OP of Deck's thread. I'm pretty sure it mentions that it's source is derived from CM7. Here ya go...

I have been using the Kings rom and the battery life has been great

I'm loving Vaelpak 4 GB AOSP Preview v.0.2. Stable, great battery life, and very smooth compared to my experiences with other AOSP GB ROMs.

Another vote for Deck's 1.2 series (it's on z now and I think he expects to release the stable version pretty soon). I am running it on Tiamat 3.3.7 sbc. With vipermod -50 I manage to get over 24 hours battery life easily.

Every Rom is usually based on another I don't see what the big deal is. Decks is decks lol

[Q] Rom Recommendations...

I know that there was at least one post other for this, but I was wondering if some of you guys could give me a couple more (newer) rom and kernel recommendations or combinations. I have been reading threads in this forum for about a week or so now and there are so many different things that its almost overwhelming. I am fairly new to rooting (I rooted one phone prior to this) and am somewhat familiar with what roms and kernels I can use together, but a little advice/confirmation/recommendation never hurt anyone.
Basically, what I am looking for is something that is super responsive with a lot of internal space free for apps that I use (I would prefer not to have to use apps2sd). I would like to try to safely overclock the cpu (this is the first phone I have had the opportunity to overclock ). I NEED BATTERY! No, really, I need the battery to last at least 12 hours with some use (I work 12 hour shifts). It also needs have working Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, and GPS (as I use all of them).
I've been thinking of trying Deck's rom with Tiamat kernel (not the sbc build correct? That's for extended batteries I believe) and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this setup. Any other setups anyone could recommend would be great to hear about too.
Currently, I am running Synergy RC1 but wanted to see what else is out there.
I really appreciate people taking the time to read this and post their thoughts. I'll eagerly be awaiting your responses. Thanks!

I too would like some recommendations. My buddy just got an EVO and he wants me to root it for him and flash a custom ROM. I am a thunderbolt guy so I am not familiar with the current ROMS for the EVO. What are your recommendations for a sense ROM? Any sense 3.0 ROMS?

You can't go wrong with anything from Myn or Mik. I justed recently flashed EVOlvedAndroid's Director's Cut and it works pretty nicely. Fresh ROMs are okay too but I almost always find my back to a rom by Myn or Mik.

You might get a "you can search threads and see what sounds good to you" response.
or a "each ROM will work differently for different people on different phones. same with kernel combos."
you might even get a link to the Wiki.
If you want an AOSP Rom:
I can say that I am running Deck's latest with the kernel it comes with and it's doing just fine. I might use kernel manager to pick out a new kernel.
I like the latest Tiamat and Godmode kernel with cm7, but I for some reason was having problems with my GPS off and on with cm7. No problems with Deck yet.
If I decide to go with a Sense ROM, I'll try out MikG and use kernel manager if the one it comes with doesn't cut it.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I did search out a lot of these roms and kernels. I also understand that a lot of this is trial and error as well. I was only inquiring as to what people liked/preferred and what has worked well for them. So far I have flashed a couple of different roms (Sense and AOSP) and a few tiamat kernels and have found each has its ups and downs (for me anyways). Right now I think I prefer AOSP to the sense roms out there. They seem much faster but I also haven't done any modding to the phone other then roms/kernels (still getting my feet under me). Any other recommendations anyone has would be much appreciated, along with any mods that may be useful. Thanks for taking the time to read this and posting responses.

Basically any AOSP (only ones I've used are cm7 and decks) with the tiamat kernel will get you sick battery life. Once there are custom kernels for the new sense roms they will get great battery life too but if battery is most important to you you can't go wrong with decks or cm7 + tiamat kernel.

i been using steelH rom since the upgrade to gb. i haven't had many problems with any of them. the latest version 1.07, i really like it.. the last few days i been running it pretty hard. i'm seeing a good increase in battery life. on top of that i took a lot of bloat out and added a few apps. it hasn't complained and the fone seems to like it.. it also has a pretty small footprint\install..
txt

asop: cm7 or deck ( i dont think ther are much more choices i like decks cuz its a little cleaner and i can always find a way to customize it enough for my own taste.)
Sense w/ froyo 2.2 ( love myn's and fresh for more customized looking roms have great battery and everything works. if you like stock go to sprint lovers 2.2 and you wont be let down it was my fall back rom that ALWAYS worked)
sense w/ gingerbread 2.3 ( havent used it sorry to many blah issues here and there especially since we got an os upgrade i think htc shorted us and should have given us some sense love too.)
Sense 2.1+ w/ gingerbread ( I am running virus's nightly of the kingdom revolution rom which gives you sense 3.0 (woot!!) and gingerbread together which runns pretty damn good i tryed the synergy/kingdom hybrid and it seemed to work pretty well but seeing this rom is pretty bulky compared to the roms made for evo apps2sd needs to work and i was having issues with that. so anything strictly kingdom or strictly 2.1 would be your best bet.)
hope this helps if you want me to elaborate i'll try to check back and see what i can say

Based on the majority of posts I've read, people seem to choose Synergy or Alliance.
My current ROM of choice is EVOlvedROM Directors Cut RC1.
It's very fast and good on battery life too.
The AOSP ROM of choice is Deck's 1.2.1

I'd have too agree that Deck's rom with the Tiamat kernel has been pretty epic for me so far. Its too bad that there aren't more AOSP roms to try. Deck's its great so far! The battery isn't as bad as I thought it would be overclocked either. Is anyone doing any tweaking of their clockspeed? Do you even need to adjust the clockspeed with the screen off with the smartass governor? From what I've read it shouldn't be necessary. Sorry to slip in the questions, was just doing done reading today and was wondering if anyone had experience with this. Thx.

You might get a "you can search threads and see what sounds good to you" response.
or a "each ROM will work differently for different people on different phones. same with kernel combos."
you might even get a link to the Wiki.
If you want an AOSP Rom:
I can say that I am running Deck's latest with the kernel it comes with and it's doing just fine. I might use kernel manager to pick out a new kernel.
I like the latest Tiamat and Godmode kernel with cm7, but I for some reason was having problems with my GPS off and on with cm7. No problems with Deck yet.
If I decide to go with a Sense ROM, I'll try out MikG and use kernel manager if the one it comes with doesn't cut it.

You cant change kernels on any sense based gingerbread rom. There are no custom gb kernels yet. Thats been the problem with sense gb roms lately...battery life kinda sucks
