I just got my Incredible replaced by Verizon, had the 5 vibrates + green light issue. At the time I had Clockwork 3.x and attempted to flash CM7 RC2 ROM.
I'm quite apprehensive about flashing my phone right now so I need some guidance on what would be the most stable option. Have no intention of using ROM manager, I'm happy to flash through recovery.
Also, should I run unrevoked forever?
Welp
Wait ... you flashed a beta of the most aggressively hacked ROM and are interested in stability?!?! LOL!
While Virtuous is extremely stable, it is also extremely neglected (and may be partially older beta; an accusation which the cooker never responded to despite specific filenames being provided).
I have found Magnolia to be rock solid and it is actively developed.
As for rooting, S-Off, Custom Rom's, they all void your warranty, so if you are nervous (or care) then don't do it. You can't really get very far if you don't run S-OFF, though.

Not sure what you mean by this, I have found CM7 to be very stable and usable. I would suggust that you use the latest nightly, there were issues with both RC's, but Nightly 30 is very stable and usable. Only issue is that some (not many, just a few) people are having issues with the camcorder. There is a very active thread for the nightlies in the development forums.

Nightly #29,30 have a camcorder issue which is experienced by ALL who are using it. #28 is the last one with a functioning camcorder as of now

Ummmm.... which one should I flash??
Oh and why
Thanks =)
The Nightly's has fixed some issues in the last RC. Flash the Nightly.

The latest nightly obviously is more up to date, and it of course has the fixes that the RC2 doesn't. I don't think anyone will tell you that it's any more or less stable than the RC2. For most people, the GPS has been fixed in the last few builds as well.
If I had to give a recommendation I'd say flash the nightly, the RC2 is quite old at this point as far as builds go.
Which to flash
I believe you have to flash RC2 and then the latest nightly over it, but I could be wrong on that, its just what I always have done. In fact I suggest you flash the new nightlies every time they come out. There have been a couple of times where the new nightly has screwed up more then it has fixed but the majority of the time its an improvement. Actually let me correct myself. usually I don't notice a difference however if you read the discussion forum for the nightlies then you see the problems that people had been having and are being fixed so its nice to know that if you had tried what they did it will now work
Sorry guys, I haven't flashed my rom in months - last time i did the 2 most popular were LeeDroid and Oxygen.
What are people using these days? What are the most popular ones?
Thanks!
I'm running Oxygen 2.0.2, since I want a fast, stable and minimum system
Hey. check this thread out, its got a poll that might help you decide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846926
personally im running leedroids latest still. holding out untill ginegerbread
sense. i dipped my toes in the waters of HD sense roms and CM but always
came back to leedroid.
I'm Running Redux 1.1.1 RC2 at the moment, Not had a problem with it (well infact I have, I found a very minor bug, reported it and it's going to be fixed for RC3 apparently )
I am running RCmixHD 3.5.1 ... and curious about the selling point of leedroid, better a comparison....
i personnally think Cyanagen 7, but its still testing so not 100% great yet
so recommend Oxygen
that is of course assuming you dont want sense
what exactly is the purpose of the cm nightly roms? sure they're auto-compiled from the cm github, and with each release there are new fixes, corrections, etc. so they're more updated than the stable, but what function do they serve?
is it a developer's testing version or something?

CM nightly builds usually have the latest and greatest versions of kernels, apps, etc. on them. As a result, some of what you see on the nightlies won't make it to the RCs or the Stable builds.
Didn't you answer your own question in the OP?
The nightly builds include the latest additions/fixes/corrections to CM7, over and above what the RC and Stables have.
They're for people who want to have the absolutely most up-to-date build of CM7 on their device. In many cases there are large fixes and upgrades in the nightlies that you can have weeks ahead of them being integrated into a RC or Stable release. If you flash nightlies then you just upgrade your ROM a few features at a time, rather than 30 features all at once moving from one Stable to another.
Nightlies aren't usually recommended for the new user unless you're adventurous. Although they're generally stable (sometimes moreso than the 'Stable' release), there are inherent issues with flashing the newest ROM version every night. If you're willing to take it on you can but there's no guarantee that they work as you'd expect.

No what I meant was what purpose does it serve?
Is it supposed to be a developer's version of the CM7 ROM to see what new additions work and what still needs fixing and such.

I would imagine even though we are not allowed to report bugs the CM devs to use the nightly builds to find and fix bugs.

Yes generally this.
In ratio to how many people use it to be on the cutting edge, id say the ones who actually use it for dev purposes is highly negligible lol.

Hello everyone,
I would be interested to know which Wildfire AOSP ROM would you say is the fastest from your experience.
Different opinions are welcome.
Thanks
CM7~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah CM7. Although this opinion is narrow minded as i have only ever used this ROM - its fast enough and has all the features i want, i am reluctant to move away from it as i am comfortable with my set up.
CM7 is best for me
I use Oxygen, I have used CM7 but i just find oxygen faster.
It doesn't have the same options, but it fits my needs.

i think i'll try some different ROMs next week. I dont trust my SD card at the moment, my nandroids keep failing to load with "error checking MD5SUMS"
Hopefully new card and updated CWM will sort this mess out

Most nandroid backups are cwm specific. Eg a cwm 3.2.00 might not restore a backup from a different cwm version.

Are you using the Oxygen TEST version from here or some other Oxygen derived ROM?
I'm using an Oxygen derived ROM on my Desire (the Wildfire is my girlfriend's) and I have to say it is noticeably faster than CM7.
To my CM7, but with all the patches around here
Well I'm going against the grain now as I've tested just about every Rom going and after many months of staying away from HTC sense I find rempuzzle lite version to be equally as fast and a heck of a lot more stable than cm7 or oxygen or any of its rip offs. Also with the knowledge I've gained from modding and customizing cm7 to my liking I can make it equally as beautiful.

One thing that's keeping me away from HTC Sense is the "Notification power widget". I just can't live without it anymore

You can use Staus Bar Settings which can overcome the issue and it is available free in the Market..
I tried every single rom and tested them at least 2 weeks before flashing something new.
First of all; Wildfire is a slow device. You got to live with it.
Second of all; All roms are slow because wildfire is slow. You need to find the most stable rom. Which is, either CM7 or Rempuzzle. Oxygen is pretty stable as well.

I'm using the test one yes, or were.. just bought a sensation xe and my brother have the wildfire now, still running oxygen test version (I choose it because it were the latest version)
I used it for months without many problems, ofc there will be some problems sometimes, it is custom but overall very reliable from what I experianced

off topic but 37.41mbs? thats mental!
anyway, I hadnt changed my cmw between nandroids. only found out how to change it when i updated my radios last week.
recently i've been getting loads of FC's and jumping launchers and weird stuff happening on my CM7. I've been happy with it since december now but its starting to bug me. I need a more stable ROM thats going to run smoothly.
As Scratch said above, I'm sure with my knowledge of modding and buggering things up and then fixing them, i can find a more stable rom and get it how i like it.
After trying various rom's over the last couple of months, including aosp and sense based rom's, I've settled on oxygen rom as my favorite.
For me, both the asop and sense rom's would load quickly and work well. But i prefer the asop based rom's for their look /style.

Lol. I have a very comfortable internet speed.
I took scratches comments into account and decided to try rempuzzle too after being back on jokerdroid for a while.
And I am impressed too with this rom after removing and editing to my own preferences. But I have been experiencing some annoying cwm restore issues after backup.keep getting bootloops but I think It may have had something to do with previous custom mtds and/or old dta2sd script flash. Although jkd didn't present these issues. Anyway flashed fresh cwm 5.0.2.7 jrodd version and updated to dta2sd beta 3 and started from scratch (no pun) with rempuzzle again so gotta find time to mess with framework then report back.
Both roms I've mentioned are very good but I think I might end up reverting back to cm7 eventually. Lol I get bored very quick.
P.s off topic but is there any way to hide/show status bar with 1 click or swipe method etc etc for sense!!!

Hello Everybody,
especially kernel developpers! Please try to have a look at the issue, in my opinion is a kernel repack issue, googled it to death without a solution! Slowly everybody is moving on to new HBOOTs and the 4.2 project is still far from stable.

Trip's ROM and his kernel combined have working GPS. As far as I know, not much kernel devs can do without the source.
I know that, I am using SlimBean, love the rom, but the thread support is a bit...let's say, slow (rather non existent). I looked for smth like a stable release, I saw that they have anounced that this is the final version of 4.1 and they start working on 4.2. No busgs in the rom. Of course, in no changelog or issue list the nonfunctional GPS issue is not mentioned. I am still convinced that there is a way to do it! I'll keep roaming the forum!
It is likely to be sorted when jb kernel sources are released.
And don't ask when, nobody knows.

Of course I don't ask when, I never ask when, but does at least anyone know what the issue is?

Probably kernel incompatibility with newer hboots.
Apparently there is micro kernel responsible for the GPS and the repack for the new boots is not done right.
No one any idea?
Answer:
"People started to get confusing when newer hboot versions stopped working with custom ROMs: The reason for this is that people used an ancient init binary that crashed with newer hboot releases."

I too suffered loss of GPS after updating to 1.31
I have tried a number of NON sense roms, but Ice Cold Jelly running Android 4.2.1 is good. Working GPS again - phew!
