I am looking on doing some reviews soon, and was wondering what some of the favorite roms are in the community. I want to know what your favorite Rom is, and if for some reason it isn't on the Incredible then list the device as well. Thanks in advance!
Some really great Roms for the incredible are
Skyraider, cyqnogenmod, Ruby, Virtuous, and Shadow rom. All these Roms are smooth and fast. I've tried all of them and my favorite is cyanogenmod but I'm running Ruby until they work out all the bugs.

Because the incredible forums are a cesspool.
OP reported.
I've tried them all except for Ruby. So far SkyRaider 2.5.2 and Virtuous are my favs and most stable for me, plus everything is working. That Desire HD ROM was great too but can't live without a working camera with my 2yr old running around.
CM6 is the best IMO
SkyRaider, Virtuous, and currently running Redemption.

Yea should be moved...but im lovin the miui rom. Smooth, fast, unique, and with the translation pack update, there isnt much chinese left. Running the 0.2 ver atm as its the most stable for me

Redemption rom
Redemption 2.0.3. king kernel oc-uv #5. incredible revolution theme, rosie removed. Launcher pro. Prepare for glory splash. Various boot animations.
FTW!
I can personally vouch for SkyRaider and Redemption ROM as being beyond reproach, and HeyItsLou and Ihtfp69 are both shining examples of what a dev should be, along with Cyanogen and IncredibleDoes of course. Haven't used CM or any of ID's ROMs yet but the work they do speaks for themselves and HeyItsLou and Ihtfp69 both have stellar daily drivers out! You can see what I'm currently running in my signature ^_^
sorry if this needs to be in the Q&A forum, but i thought since it was completely about android roms and opinion based, it should go under development. And i have tried most of the listed roms, gonna try redemption soon. been running desirehd port for a few days now, and its my favorite so far, but i would like cam support
I'm friggin' fuskered up lol But still..

I've tried them all and every one has something I really like that the others don't but I haven't been able to get away from uncommon sense since beta8. I'll flash an update from the others but that only lasts a couple of hours. The final beta title should be stable imo. It runs perfect... No reboots, fast, everything works including camera. Has a sick app drawer, modded music player... Over all, most stable, and again, still in beta.

I agree!!!
Hopefully you all can help me out here. I'm a newb. I know I'm going to get yelled at for making a thread, but I feel like that's a silly thing to yell at someone for, especially on a forum with as much activity as XDA.
Essentially, I'm looking for a Stock Android 2.2 ROM for my EVO. I want something where all of the features work and my battery life won't be destroyed.
Can any of y'all recommend anything? :]
Not stock but id recommend cm6.1.2 or any virus rom

Only reason I've been wanting stock is because I'm really annoyed with how clunky Sense can be at times.
You can try my rom I've been getting good reviews with net 4.3 & ziggy's rom our try myn's

I would suggest you try a few. It's all opinion man. Personally I dislike sense and miui and I love the themes for cm6 but that's me. I tried a bunch before I settled on cm6.
Sent from my Detoxed CM6.1.2 Evo 4G!
first of all, roms are like girls. some men like brunettes, some like blondes. some like flirtey, some like smart, some like both. etc etc etc. you need to experiment sometimes to figure out what you like and dont like.
the roms i would reccomend trying are as follows:
sense:
***caulkins evio 2 : slick silvery-shiney clean theme, very very fast, great battery life, some very nice improvements.
***myns warm twopointtwo : incredible themeing. simply a new phone in terms of looks. nothing goes unthemed, at all. fast, good battery, good improvements, very responsive dev.
**ava froyo z2 : pretty much unthemed, but light blue in alot of normally green places. i'd call it the most intensely under the hood tweaked rom though. this dude knows his codeing. one of the first i know to actually start mesisng with roaming and 4g etc.
** mikfroyo: includes a wierd blurry theme that i personally dont like. everything is very compressed so the rom is absolutely tiny for a sense rom. i for one dont like it but everyone has opinions.
*stock-based roms : like sprint lovers, joeykrim, etc. great for beginners and noobs but not really worth testing. those roms that you need to be there but dont need on your phone.
non-sense:
i've never really tried these. explore. these are ota based without htc sense bloat.
aosp:
these are the beastly, built from the ground up, true developments. these require teams of developers that write huge code to acutally make a great rom using only google's baisic android source. i personally dont liek these but many do.
****cyanogenmod: huge project. very android. very customizable. very evrything. probably going to release gingerbread soon. also wimax coming soon.
**** miui: chinese based, also big project. looks and feels alot like the iphone. called the middle ground, has the smooth cleanness of iphone without the... iphone.
i'm currently using caulkin's evio 2. myns 5 is the other one i love. those are the daily drivers i switch between.
Yeah! Some people like fat girls! Or girls that smell like cheese!

So I'm looking to get a new Rom. What is the fastest stable sense Rom in your opinions?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
First off, this doesn't belong in the "Development" section.
But that aside, I'd say SkyRaider 4.0 is a good one. Magnolia is fast and stable with a nice "matte UI". Lou's are good as well (Redemption ROM, Redemptive rEVOlution). SkyRaider 4.0 has the added bonus of being extremely customizable with options not in other ROM's yet. And more mods and themes are on the way.
My bad, I thought I pressed the general tab... stupid phone... can a mod please move this. Thanks....

I knows Lou's I'm running the old redemption rEVOlution now, but I seem to be having problems with newer apps and games running choppy when I'm double the required and framework tends to crash too often... now I also am unable to direct install to SD.... that's why I'm looking to upgrade.
As for Sky I didn't know he had a new one, saw he was working on "Athena" but it was horribly buggy from what I read. Is 4.0 that good and nice on batt?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Check out Optimised Sense by Newtoroot, pretty new but its fast.
Skyraider 4.0 hands down. It's the most stable ROM i've used and is great on battery life. I use my phone a lot and can go all day no problem with the stock battery.
Hmm, I have been stuck on CM7 for who knows how long but I flashed Skyraider 4.0 and have absolutely loved it. Skyraider 4.0 has elements of CM7, the Z roms, and the S roms built in. It's fast as hell, and it's the first Sense rom I stayed on for more than an hour in about 3 months.
If SR4 isn't for you (I can't imagine why) then go with a Z rom, maybe Warm Z nightlies or the Incredibly Re-Engineered Z.
mine of course haha
Z roms rock!

Fastest?? Well... Any of the sense ROMs will run differently of course, but that is easily changed with different Kernels
I'm running Skyraider 4.0 with the stock kernel and it's flawless.

Go for it folks
I gotta cast my vote for Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.4. I've been always coming back to this super ROM. Chingy51o has put in a lot of work for this ROM to run smoothly and it shows.
If you are looking for leaked sense 2.0 roms download any rom that is a "Z" rom.
for the best sene ROM, skyraider 4.0 is it. most features, devs will be stealing his features they are so nice. I haven't had a hiccup since installing 4.0 fresh. lou's #8 kernel. easily get two days of battery. LOVE it.

I'm looking for a fast, stable, 100% working rom that won't break on me and just function as it should.. I am running the last RUU rooted but I've been so used to Sense 3+ roms I just can't do it anymore.. I also love AOSP but as petty as it may sound I can't stand the camera performance that comes with it... Opinions on the best are always welcome but I'm looking for function...

I've noticed Newt's DINC2HDrls 1.1 is quite stable. But that's just my two cents.
I personally prefer Newt's Sense roms above all. I'm on AOSP right now, but occasionally I'll flash back to Newt's Incredible 2 HD just to mess with Sense. It's Sense 3.5 and I gave it like a 15-20% overclock and I didn't lag once. There's a great communtiy over there, and tons of mods to get you whatever you want from your phone.
Here lately I've been having issues with newt's hd rls 1.1 ... when I turn Rosie on and use the shortcut widget my HTC sense just constantly reboots... It's not an issue with the rom or a bug so I don't know what I'm doing wrong there..

Well the Shortcut Widget is almost entirely made by him since the official one would have taken so much work. I don't see that being a reason enough for me to stay away.

I know. I just find it odd that it would be happening.. I just posted in their bug thread so hopefully I'm not alone..
Virtuous Affinity is the way to go. Sense 3.5
Newts ROM is great too - but Virtuous flat out runs better - and this is with many email syncs and data syncing.
Try both - You may favor one or the other.
Try the latest CM7 nightly #134 with Aeroevans .7cfs kernel. Then get the MIUI camera.apk and download. You have yourself a totally customizable, stable, fast, nothing to worry about rom. That is always my go to rom
Ialso love virtuous for my #1 sense rom
Tap'n on VIRTUOUS incredible 2
RMK's gingersense if you want stock. SkyRaider Zeus is amazing with a ton of customization. If your looking for the newest sense rom RCmix3D is my personal favorite and ran smooth. Haven't tried virtuos though..
I love Affinity. Newts Roms are nice until he gives up on them. However his HD rom kept giving me problems every fresh flash and he isn't big on helping

Running the latest one and it's excellent. Sense 3.5 is great.
Have you tried TSM GingerbangSense 3.0? I'm new to Inc2, but it seems very stock and very stable...I had to check the bootanimation to make sure it wasn't stock!
As you all know I love miui...it has beauty like a sense Rom, stability, and its fast as hell...I recommend miui build 1.10.28..very stable and customizable.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I had really good luck with the HD roms and Unity for Sense based, but I do go back to MIUI or Liquid for AOSP once in a while.
I think the next on my list to try is Affinity.
I've tried nearly every rom available and am back to inc2hd. It just seems the most polished to me. Can't stand aosp after having all the awesome perks of sense. Though I do like Miui.

For those who have used it, how good is Skyraider Zeus? I have tried Skyraider 4.3 on my DInc, and I have to say it's my fave alt ROM. I am running Jermaine's de-bloated stock + on my DInc now. Obviously also a Sense fan, so it would be good to get opinions from people who've used it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
100% stable, with amazing features you won't find in any other ROM - SkyRaider Zeus.
If you want to explore the new Sense versions, NEWT's Incredible H RLS1.1 is the way to go as it's Sense 3.5
If you'd like to try a Sense 3.0 ROM I would suggest nitsuj17's TSM Trinity ROM
Or NEWT has a few options for Sense 3.0 Including his Inc3d ROM, and his Incredible sensation ROM, I personally dislike Sense 3.5 and think Sense 3.0 is a better choice, but SkyRaider Zeus is the best Sense ROM I've ever ran. I would highly suggest that as an everyday ROM.

Zeus 1.3 is honestly the best Sense ROM I've ever ran. I also used skyraider 4.3 for my Incredible1, and absolutely loved it, Zeus is basically that ROM on steroids. The options that are included into the ROM are simply incredible. I also get the best battery life on this ROM out of the rest.
My vote goes for skyraider Zeus. Most stable rom I've ever used on any phone, also very customizable. That was the only rom that could get me away from MIUI (only bug in MIUI that I run into is having no voice commands while connected to Bluetooth)

Are you looking to upgrade to 2.3 or stick with 2.2?
If you want to stick with 2.2, my vote is for SkyRaider 4.3 on the Team Bamf site. It is my all-time favorite. I don't use it anymore simply because it is still 2.2.
I've got no advice on sense 2.3, as I use AOSP now.
I gotta have me some notification toggles (which SkyRaider has)....

i just installed the stock+ rom... so far so good.
i like the stock phone but wanted to fix things like ext4 to fix the low memory issues which lead me to needing non-stock kernel. stock+ rom / kernel got installed this morning and so far so good!
Did you try the messaging icon under all apps? Sometimes I have to remove the messaging icon on the main screen and drag the all-apps one back to the front screen. Then all is fine again...not sure why???
I've personally tried a few Sense 3.5 ROMs and the upgrades to the interface are really slick. I'd definitely recommend giving a couple of them a shot.
Try Nils Business Gingersense 3.5 or Prime XL 3D to get a feel for it.
