One of the most important things to me about my phone is stability. I've tried many ROMS, especially with Gingerbread being widely available for our phones now, and some of them were very nice, but I've yet to find a ROM more stable and reliable than the old leaked Froyo ROM from August 1st, 2010, of which I am currently running a very highly modified version of. I had been bouncing back and forth between different ROMS, but lately I havent really had the time. Today I occurred to me that I have not had any reboots, lockups, freezes... anything, in a long time. Checked my uptime and I'm at almost 500 hours...
and I USE my phone quite a bit. I have almost 100 apps installed, so I'm not one of those "just use it for calls and texts" types...
so, post up people! anyone found a rock solid stable gingerbread ROM they love? show me some uptimes!
187hours uptime on gingersense stock+..haven't rebooted since I flashed..187 hours ago.

I've gone 444+ on CM7, at which point I voluntarily flashed a new ROM.
And this would have to show up in the Latest Post as "Who's got the longest..."
I've been running CM7 Nightly #202 without a reboot for just over....
...423 days. CM7 rocks.
damn.... was cm7 out 1 1/3 years ago?? And you've been running the same build since then??
I was just being a smart-ass. Nightly #202 was just released yesterday.
Between all the theming / modding / whatever I do to my device, it's rare that I make it 24 hours without a reason to reboot.

Lololol, that made my day.
I'm the same way. Being on MIUI its too easy to change things so my phone is constantly rebooted.

I can't keep my system up time for more than a day with out changing the ROM. So far lately, I've been pretty happy with Nils 3.5 sense.
I made it to 522 hrs... rebooted to test a different kernel. I don't know how you guys even keep your phones usable if you reflash your rom all the time. I've tried several ROMS but the goal was always to find one that everything worked and was stable to stick with. So far none of the gingersense ROMS fit that bill, except maybe the OTA, which is to similar to Froyo to really justify updating as of yet.
I have the phone since tuesday but there is a yellow spot on the edge of the screen, lots of force closes, sense reloading all the time and some more issues. My friend, also with a one x, has no issues and decent battery life while mine kinda sucks with under 2 hour screen on use.
I know this is partly due to software but my girlfriend had nothing but trouble with her SGS2 while mine worked flawlessly, both the same rooted roms and I tried everything to fix hers.
I'm affraid my One X could be such a 'bad' device as well so what do you say, try to get a different brand new one or wait for software updates?
BT
wait
wait for update.Onex Is the worlds fastest mobile phone .also it has super camera .small problems will be fix within few months .
enjoy your htc onex
I still want the one X just not this one since it has problems.
I think software updates will solve most of the issues which are common whenever a phone that is so popular hits the market. people test them frantically
When I got my Galaxy Nexus, I was more than content never to install a custom ROM on it for two reasons:
1. It had no carrier or OEM bloatware on it. It was as close to the Google Experience™ as one could get.
2. My previous phone was a Samsung Captivate, and no ROM, custom or otherwise, worked very well on it.
Well, that lasted about a month. There was nothing at all wrong with running stock on the GNex. The battery life was incredible. It was super fast. The reception is not so great, but there's nothing a custom ROM could really do about that anyway. It was certainly running well enough.
But I can't leave well enough alone.
I wanted themes. I wanted to make the phone my own in ways that were not possible in the buttoned-down, odexed world of stock ROMs. So, after prudently making a Nandroid backup, I held my breath, and dove headlong into the world of customization. I picked a really obscure ROM at first. I won't say which one it is because I don't want to discourage their work. But, I got more force closes in the first hour of running that ROM than I did in the first month of stock. Since my GNex is my daily driver, that wasn't working for me, but I'm not bitter. A lot of these ROMs are a learning process for the developer as well as the user. I left a bit of well-intentioned feedback in the thread, and moved on to another lesser-known ROM. This one worked a lot better for me. It was very stable, and much to my surprise, the upgrade was entirely free of problems.
I should digress to describe briefly my experience with flashing ROMs on my previous phone, the Samsung Captivate. I originally upgraded because Froyo was delayed, and I didn't like the bloware that AT&T felt the need to add to my device. I don't know if the leaks were bad, or the hardware just wasn't all that great, but each reinstall took several hours to get my device up to where it needed to be, and each firmware had HUGE problems, including regular freezes, and sometimes entire system apps would disappear for no reason. It led me to consider custom ROMs to be a necessary evil, but one that could be avoided on the GNex due to it being a Google phone.
It's clear from my experience that either the hardware or the ROM development has extremely matured over two years. The installation was quick and bug-free. Even the "bad" ROM I started on managed to pick up most of my existing apps, and only took about 30 minutes to install. The "good" ROM was unlike anything I've ever seen before. Not only was the upgrade practically instantaneous, but it even downloaded all my apps from the previous install and started up TiBu to install the system data. I was back up to speed in < 30 minutes, a far cry from the seemingly interminable hours that it took on the Captivate. I've only been running the current ROM for about a day, but if it continues with this stability, I will be a happy camper.
Why did I bother to write this?
1. Some people may be on the fence about whether they should stick to stock or go custom. Having a firsthand account of how truly painless the experience was may help them make a more informed decision.
2. Kraken Rum.
Just run CM9. Simple.

Any ROM that takes more than ~five minutes to install I abort. I'm not sure how or why you waited half an hour to install one. Also every rom since gingerbread has auto installed apps unless it was specifically disabled.
But, good thoughts.

ROMs I tried on Captivate (with varying degrees of success):
ICSSGS
Mosaic
Pinnacle
Fasty
Sensation
Fusion
Cognition
Stock
Many of these I tried multiple versions.
Of those, none of them auto-installed apps. Most of them would be broken when I tried to restore with Tibu and I would have to do a complete SD card wipe to get an extra week of stability.
Point is, whatever awful experiences happened on other ROMs don't seem to apply to the GNex.
The reason roms just work on nexus phones is down to just 4 letters: AOSP.

Like I said, it could be auto-disabled. My Thunderbolt autoinstalled apps when I first got it, and my Nexus tries to do the same.
Also, if you are restoring SYSTEM DATA through Titanium Backup, you're doing it all wrong.

I have never installed a rom that took 5mminute to install, or flash atleast. However, it did took me 3 hours on my first HTC device to unlock bootloader, downgrade HBoot, S-off, root, cwm and all that. For the nexus it took me the time to type: fastboot oem unlock.

Five minutes is a lot, but I didn't think it was too much. Usually if it isn't done in after a minute or two I pull the battery.

...but you know what, I have tried pretty much every ROM out there and to be honest I find myself always coming back to stock, stock but Rooted and with a custom kernel. At the moment I am running Trinity (literally my first day) and I'm very impressed. This is a stock Galaxy Nexus enhanced; better battery life, faster and with the Trinity's colour settings it even looks better.
There are just so many different ways to customise Android that it'll leave us all playing and experimenting forever.

I should clarify. The part of "installing a ROM" that took place within CWM never took more than 2 minutes. It was all the setup after that which took all the time. I learned very early on not to use TiBu to restore system apps. Even with that, it just never worked properly. Some apps would FC like crazy and have to be reinstalled and setup manually anyway. Some apps would just be gone with no explanation. So, I quit using it. That meant reinstalling each and every app and setting them up the way they were. Reinstalling whichever launcher I was using and putting all the icons and widgets back in place. This rarely took less than two hours, and never less than one. The reason I did this so much is that after two weeks, three at the most, the Captivate would start freezing randomly, for do discernible reason, no matter how little I had installed on it. Until I got to ICSSGS. That was the only stable ROM out of more than a dozen in two years. But by then, I was tired of the treadmill and sold it.
I'll see if the GNex starts freezing. Even if it does, I can restore my Nandroid back to stock and be happy.
Hi there. At the moment, I have a Galaxy Note that I am considering replacing with an HTC One X. As I understand it, CM9 and 10 support has been very limited for Samsung devices due to problems with getting hold of the Exynos sources which means that Samsung versions of CM10 are often underperforming compared to what they should be doing. I was just wondering if a similar situation existed with the HTC One X or if it performed better or at least much closer to its full ability?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Take care,
Stalks
I've been running CM10 on my One X for about 3 weeks now with no issues at all.
Two things you need to consider:
1. The battery life isn't fantastic with CM10 (I get about 12 hours with normal use as opposed to about 24 hours with stock ROM).
2. You have to flash the boot.img manually via fastboot as there is no solution for S-OFF, and probably won't ever be.
These things considered, if you are looking at buying a new device to run Vanilla Jellybean, you might be better off with a Nexus 4. That's what I'd do if I had my time again. Having said that, I'm still very happy with my One X.
Hope this helps.
I just got one of these fairly cheap and considered just selling it when I realized how cucked the stock OS was.
Decided against it and have already finished rooting, installing gapps, FFF and TWRP. I will admit that my computer took forever to recognize the device while it was in fastboot, had to let it sit overnight with the kindle off then it randomly worked the next day without another PC reboot... anyway...
I want to know what is the best ROM for the kindle. I've flashed roms in the past to other devices and most seem to have random issues, slightly too old but stable, latest **** that runs too slow, etc.
So, is there any kind of consensus all these years later for this Gen 1 Kindle? What is/are the best rom(s)?
(please don't start some argument like AR15 vs AK, Glock v 1911 grip angles, Prusa vs Ender, PC vs Cucksole gaming, etc)
did you find out ? i am looking to revive it , it still pretty funtional.
Unfortunately no, I didn't really find any great options and put this on the back burner. Likely just going to try to sell it
