[Q] Most Stable Rom?

I've tried almost every ROM on the development page but could not find any ROM that is stable (I.E. GPS not working, or Camera issues, etc.) Is there any ROM that anyone here recommends that is most stable?

Probably Villision 1.0

How about Cyanogenmod 6.1.1? Granted its Froyo but its Stable. Other then that just root the stock rom and get the junk off of it. I did those for a while. Now I'm on Cyanogen Nightly 31 having no issues. I have been lucky being able to fix the GPS issues.

The latest Virtuous is pretty stable for me! and everything works

I've never once had an issue with cyanogenmod.. just flashed rc4. Idk why everyone complains about gps, my works flawlessly.. id say cm6 would be the most stable thou as someone already said. But it is froyo.

So you're saying your phone isn't experiencing the Gmail margin issue that's been present post CM7-RC2?

I think miui is the most stable, to be honest. Those folks in china know their stuff. Haven't had a single damn thing force close on me with that rom. No joke. Battery life is just magical too.

Go for the ROM with the most replies.
Any ROM will have bugs. The older and more popular it is, the more likely, the bugs will have been worked out. Go for older, stable roms instead of newer, unstable ones.

Seems to me the GPS issue on CM7 may be location dependent, since some have the issue, others don't, and flashing various different radios seems to solve the issue for many. Since I travel a lot for work, it gives me less than 100% confidence that the GPS will work when I really need it to.
There is also the persistent video camera landscape/portrait playback bug (but I haven't tried the latest nightlies or RC4). Plus, the camera button is laggy on CM7. So I'm onto Virtuous, but ADW EX as launcher (Sense is sloooow). Virtuous is built off the stock Desire Z ROM, so its very stable. Off the top of my head, the only common bug I know of is wake issues depending on kernel and clocking, but those are easily solved by SetCPU profiles, or using the Standard Virtuous kernel. I haven't tried a great many ROMs, but Virtuous is working well for me so far.
Gingerbread ROMs are all ports from other phones, since a native GB "official" ROM has not been released for the Vision yet. Until that happens, the Froyo builds are going to be less buggy than the GB ones.

[Q] what rom is everyone running?? =) and why?

Lol...
Title says it all...
What rom are u running?
And if u want to say why, go ahead lol
Thanks =)

There is new thread like this (what is the best/most stable/your favorite ROM) created about once or twice a week. So you can just use the search function to find a bunch of opinions without have to wait for people to reply to this one.
Personally, I'm back to Bell stock/shipped ROM with Godspeed kernel. Its the only combination I've tried so far that seems to be completely free of SODs for me (screen of death, screen randomly won't turn on no matter what, unless you pull the battery). But this seems to be a fairly uncommon issue (and not yet solved) that most people don't need to worry about. The stock ROM is also plenty stable, and the Sense camera app is better than Android stock.
Virtuous is good if you want a clean (no bloat) Sense Froyo ROM. Very stable, but not much different than stock Sense, aside from some optimizations and a few added features like trackpad button wake. Lots of people like CM7. Cool if you want the latest and greatest Gingerbread features, and CM extras. But it still has a few annoying bugs.

Mods, can this thread either be locked or merged with the other threads similar to this? Thanks.

im using meXdroidMod meXperia remeX
its just awesome, experia arc merged with cm nightly, just is fantastic

does every ROM have issues? any rom not have an issue? wtf

it seems every rom i try recently has some sort of frustrating problem, i tried the new cm 7.1 stable when it first came out and my phone would not turn on sometimes, i tried mikg 2.xx what ever and i wouldnt receive text messages from some people, i tried a stock team nocturnals and my phone would just random reboot and get stuck in the bootanimation and i would have to pull the battery every time, now im on the "out of this world" stock nocturnal rom and sometimes i cant recieve picture text messages is there any rom out there that really has no problems? if so point me in the right direction. :/

I get the feeling rooting and stuff isn't for you. But you should try the link below and you SHOULD be able to run cm7 or decks stable. I hope your troubles go away
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702

If you don't like pushing the edge with experimental ROMs try stock rooted ROMs. Swag has the best in my opinion. BTW don't complain, these guys work for free.

sounds more like sever user error, stick to a stock rooted rom.

click on the link in my sig to find out about aosp roms and kernels, in my thread there's a link to Decks gb rom which atm has absolutely not 1 prob. it's really smooth and fast and has great battery life ^_^

I agree with the post about user error. I've tried all of those ROMs and they each have little things about them that I do and do not like. But nothing is perfect. ROMs are works in progress and Devs are constantly working to improve their ROMs. If you are flashing everything correctly and are not suffering from user error then it may be a hardware issue.

Are there any stable stock ICS or Jelly Bean Roms?

I bought a SGH-T989-D (telus version) and it came rooted with cyanogenmod installed. It was so fast and beautiful but it had many major bugs that made it unusable (call echo, battery life, caller id broken, random restarts). It's been about 4 months so I wanted to see what the most stable roms are.
I'm looking for a rom that is fast and close to stock ICS or maybe jellybean if that's out yet. I'm currently on touchwiz ics but it's not as smooth or snappy as the buggy rom the phone came with was.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is noobish.

This one is stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25363458
Its the stable version of CM 9
And my personal favorite AOKP 7/15 milestone 6

Only issue I have is speaker phone sounds choppy.
As for JB, there is good progress, but not a DD in my IMHO.

The one by BinaryBiship is pretty good. And there's nightly builds so at least you know they're actively updating.

this question gets asked quite a bit and my opinion on the matter(since you asked) is bugs don't seem to pop up for everyone. If the phone you had had issues maybe it was just that version of CM. If you like CM then I would suggest trying a nightly, RC2 or AOKP.
There are different developers that have kanged CM as well so try that. Since what is a bug for one person is not necessarily a bug for others its a trial and error. Anyone can post a link and say this or that is the best but only your real world experience can determine if its your dd= daily driver or not....
I have been running CM9 or AOKP since I got my phone and no issues at all...No radio issues No GPS issue No hot reboot issues... so far nada... Give them all a try thats my opinion

As said earlier, CM9 and AOKP are both great. My only issue with them is that they don't have wifi calling so be wary of that if you need that feature.

Just update to the latest cm9 nightly at get.cm for the Hercules. If you are already on cm9 then make a back up and then wipe system, cache, and dalvik. Then flash cm9 and gapps.

Love the latest by Darkside. Its not pure stock but the latest is speedy, GREAT battery, and solid enough to be my DD ROM ..
Stats in sig. Good luck!

CM9 has come a LONG way these past months and virtually every bug you posted has been fixed. CM9 RC2 has been running beautifully for me for nearly a week and a half now. I recently took the plunge with TDJ's latest Venom kernel and it's been running even smoother. AOSP ROMs may have been buggy in the past but now there really isn't any reason to go back to TW. Unless of course you need wifi calling... but our devs are currently working on that and there are alternatives that allow you to call from wifi (Talkatone, Vonage, GrooveIP). So really, in my opinion, there really is no reason to go back to carrier bloat.

You could always use odin to flash a stock ICS, then root and remove bloat. You'd have a completely stock ICS running stable. As long as you're rooted, you can always flash modifications down the road. If you want a little extra performance but want to still maintain stock as much as possible, you can just flash a modified kernel on top.

Favorite ROMs

I'm curious as to what are your favorite ROMs for the Dinc2. I have flashed many and found some good GB ROMs, and (mostly) stable ICS based ROMs. Jellybean looks nice, just not stable enough for me yet. I have a short list of favs (in no particular order):
andyBONESTOCK ( ya its a stock rom but i still like it at times)
SkyRaider Zeus 3.1
CM7.2
CM9
UKB ll
Might seem like fairly bland list but i like stability. I have tried many others but I always seem to keep coming back to one of the 5 listed above. There are a lot of great ROMs for our Dinc2 and i was just curious, what are your favorites?

Paranoid Android is by far my favorite, I love Tablet Mode and Phablet Mode! #2 spot goes to Mimicry CM9 based ROM.

I ran paranoid android for the longest time. I recently got into miui and I love that one as well

Current: Kangdemnation v0.5 - great battery life and stable
MIUI 12.9
SRZ

Currently on MIUI v4 CDMA, and love it.
I guess you could say MIUI in general, because I ran GB MIUI until January due to the amazing customization and theming abilities.
Some of my other favorites...
GBS Sense 5 with Sense 3 patch - Everything worked and you got some of the nicer features of Sense 3
UKB - Love the work Nits is doing with Sense 4, and excited to try Viper when it releases
Aero's CM10 - This is actually quite stable and very fast/smooth. There were, of course, bugs that kept me from staying with it long term.
I usually look for stability (no hot-boots or FCs), good battery life, decent speed/fluid animations, high-end features/customization. So the absence of features like 720p recording on ICS or JB wasn't a problem. I switched from CM10 because I wanted to use Skype with the ffc, but I really loved the smoothness and JB features in that one.

Currently running AE's CM10 and I love it. Beyond that, his CM9 is good and UKB is the only Sense Rom that I actually enjoy using.

Wait till you try ViperINC

Try out Magnolia. It is gingerbread based and very stable. I have tried most of the Roms mentioned but not paranoid android yet. Guess I know what I am doing on my day off tomorrow...

It sounds interesting that's for sure. But I'm on my last day or two of using the Inc2. Once I get my GNex activated, the Inc2 will become my WiFi home phone. For that, I'll likely go back to CM7, as it seems to play the nicest with WiFi settings and GrooveIP.

Arctic Ascension v2.02 has been the most stable ROM I've tried on the Dinc2. Everything works on it including cameras, camcorder, mms, rotating softkeys, etc. It'll even automatically switch to 3G mode when sending a MMS message (only ROM i know if that does that BTW). The only problems I've heard (but never actually experienced) has been it running slowly in some installations but running the DeSensed version will take care of that.

That's odd, for me the WiFi was why I left cm7. My girlfriend was out of state for a couple months a while back so we would chat through gtalk throughout the day, every day. When I flashed cm7 everything seemed awesome, but then I noticed that my WIFI would lose connection with gtalk many times a day. I had to check gtalk constantly all day long to see if I had lost connection with it or not, and had missed many messages throughout the day (a couple hours old at times and man would she get pissed). I dont know if its cm7s WIFI management or what it was but i got tired of it. So I started using andbonestock and good ole gb, with the 'best WIFI performance' setting on and never lost a WIFI connection with gtalk after that. It could also have something to do with my WIFI in my house though, as most the time the performance of it pretty much blows.

i like "TSM UKB II 1.3.1 (sense4 ics)" best overall so far.

Weird. I've never had that issue. My router is in my bedroom, so I've always had a great signal. I would go back to SkyRaider or AndyBoneStock, but I really just don't like GB Sense on this phone. Not sure why, I just prefer AOSP.

For the longest time I have been running my custom vivo sense 3 port (gb of course) because of stability until I recently tried the latest miui (cdma version) built from tazz's sense ics build.
It was very stable and everything worked. Since yesterday I've been running stunner's global cm9 build and I must say it is very stable so far. 720 recording works and all. The only issue with that one is an upside down ffc. For now that is my daily driver.
