[Q] What Rom is best for me?

Hey guys,
I need some help here, im trying to figure out which ROM is the best for my needs. Im a heavy user I use a lot of texting, email and social networking. I do have exttended battery, so battery is not a problem for me. I don't mind if the Rom is not Wimax (4g) friendly but ill love to have Wimax(4g) because I pay that extra $10 so why not have it. Thanks in advance...

I have used Ava, Azrael, CM6 and 7, Myn , MikFroyo and EViO. I think all of those would work for you. I would take a look at some of the different screen shots and see what you like and go from there.
If I were you, I would try at least CM, MikFroyo and EViO, but they're all good. There is a CM6.1.2 Alpha with wimax too, so all of those options will have it.

Thanks a lot, I'll try them tonight. Another question what version of CM should I try ? My co-worker told me CM is really good.
Edit : I'm looking for a STABLE release of CM but I can't find anything.

I've used CM v6, and MikFroyo v4.4, and both have been great. I prefer MikFroyo because of the speed and stability. Its easy to use as well. Plus CM doesn't support 4G (last time I checked) and Mikfroyo v4.4 does with no issues. So that's a big plus in my book.

The CM with WiMax (still Alpha) is 6.1.2. CM7 is still going through the motions but doesn't have WiMax support yet. The WiMax Alpha for CM6.1.2 is super stable.
Best thing to do is just start checking em out though.

6.1.2 is there last stable release. You also need to download the gapps for that rom. (Called Google addon)

I love miui. Thats what i use. Very nice, smooth VERY easy to theme. You can even take different parts from different themes... amazingness.

there is a stable cm6.1.2 ON THE XDA ONLY by toastchf and shinzul. worth a shot. works very nicely.

As others have said, stable CM is 6.1.2. I would try the Wimax Alpha 3 if you're in a 4g coverage area. I had both reg and Wimax Alpha 2, no problems on either. I've been on EViO the longest, but I just flashed the latest Miui to see what was up.
It's pretty, but I'll probably go back to EViO, or Mik 4.5 when the stable comes out, or a CM7 Alpha with Wimax whenever that drops. I have a hard time staying one any one longer than a day or too.

Well Ill like to try a CM nightly cuz people be telling me about the speed and stuff, but I want to know which one is the best choice to flash cuz there is a lot of them nightlies lol and a kernel with it, idk how my device will react but people be telling me about the battery issue, may be I can be lucky qnd have good battery life lol Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

You have two choices: flash a stable release, or a nightly. Stable releases are obviously more stable. Nightlies are released after the stable releases, and may contain newer things, but also may not run as well. As for what nightly you should flash, most people flash the latest one, and flash a new one every night, hence the term nightly.

the only way to know is to try it. As long as you make a nandroid backup before you flash, if anything goes wrong or you dont like it, just restore that.

Its true that pictures are not taken a full 8mp on CM?

They're taken at 8MP.

FYI, you could have found all this information in the CM thread, instead of making a new one.

What's the best ROM for the Ding in your opinion??

Soo. I've been flashing ROM's for a while now, well I've gone through a Sanyo zip, a kyocera milano, a ghetto ass "Sawee Pad" that i cant do crap woth really, then i got my incredible and ive gone from cm7 v13 to cm9 Kangs, to Peter Alfonso's Pete_Inc_03_10_12, to few others. The thing is, I really like ICS, but everything I've flashed in some way or another was unstable and I dreaded installing apps or anything else for that matter. So I've been back to cm7 v13 for about a month now.. what's the best overall most stable ICS ROM out there for the incredible? I don't care about fancy schmancy customizations. I want something basic and very stable (or just super awesome thats stable) I would love to hear your opinions, pros/cons. I will be researching most of the night I'm sure. I use my Ding for a lot of things, gaming/movies/music/inet surfing.. just wanna flash a new ROM and wanting your opinions. Thanks

I am on cm9 unofficial. Its highly stable, at least for me and fast too. Am running stock kernel.
Hope it helps you.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

If you keep the stock kernel, they are almost all stable. The different kernels will cause some phone to freeze when plugging and unplugging.
It's hard to keep it all straight but I believe you need a 3rd party video app to record video ( video cam illusions) in most ics roms. Build 38 and 39 of AOKP do not work on the dinc, both cm9's and the new abduction are really smooth. Just flash and enjoy, that's my motto.

Ah so that's why it didn't work. CM 7.2 is much, much quicker though.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA

Well after a few hours of reading, imma try and flash in-sensative minimalist sometime today. I know its not ICS, but it'll do. Imma keep reading and see what I come across, maybe ill try a different version of cm9 and see if I can find something more stable than what I had.

I've been using Hanger's Abduction for months now. Installed the latest last night and each release gets better. Everything seems to work for me (I don't use the video camera so I can't talk about that). Previous versions there was some hanging when unplugging from charger, and a few random quick reboots. So far so good on latest but it has only been 7 hours...

For all out stability without any misfeatures, CM7 w/ stock kernel. If an alternate kernel is stable for you, then great.
That said, invisiblek's ICS builds are getting there, but there's still some weirdness here and there.
I've heard that the latest evervolv ICS alpha is really nice, and they've got the video camera working -- I haven't tried it myself though. Videocam Illusions just records in MJPEG -- you've got to be desperate for ICS + videocam to want to use that.

Throwing my vote in for pures anthem ROM. Buttery smooth, fast, and stable. Oh, and pretty. only issue I have is that sometimes 3g disappears, and a restart is required to fix it.
Sent from my Incredible using xda app-developers app

I would love to be on ICS ROM as well...but I have some misgivings about it. Even if some ICS ROMs may be stable, from what I see, they are still slower and grab more battery then our GB ROMs. That's a deal breaker right there. I don't understand why people want ICS soooo badly on their Dinc if its gonna be like that. Stable is great...but its gonna hog more battery
I'm on the latest RC of CM7.2 with Chad/Tiny Incredikernel and couldn't be happier. Stable, Fast, and battery efficient.....

I have an extended battery and get the same or better. Dinc accessories are getting cheap on amazon. I can get about 18 he with 3hr + of screen on.

I agree with previous posts about ICS roms having poor battery life. From what I've tried, they do not have anywhere near as many features as cm7. If it is not possible for cm9 to run efficiently on the dinc I hope development on cm7 continues into the future. I run the latest cm7 nightly with incredikernal, v6 supercharger, kickass kernalizer, adrenaline shot and 3g turbocharger scripts. I also updated the radio to the new one in the general section. My phone has never performed better

Battery life is subjective and different people may have different capacity batteries at different points in their lifespan and different usage levels. I for one think it's decent, maybe not as good as cm7 but probably better than the galaxy nexus.
Oh and not to mention different screen types, AMOLED can drain faster than SLCD.

Which ICS rom is the most stable and has the most features working?

The CM9 nightly, well at least I believe so.

That's what I was leaning towards, thanks. I also am interested in the Touchwiz 5.1.2 rom and ParanoidAndroid, though the latter seems to not be ready yet (phone errors and fc'ing).
It's a little overwhelming coming in as a noob. I'm wanting to put some life back into my dinc.
Would the latest CM9 nightly be the best start? Anything I should know about? Is flashing a new kernel worth it, or should I stick with stock? So far I followed a guide here to get root, but I'm still S-On for now until I decide which rom to go with..then I plan on downgrading to get S-Off, flashing a rom, and updating my radio.

first thing first, get S-Off in your DInc .
idk the best start to try a rom, but maybe u can try an aosp GB which is CM7 or miui.
but if ur very interested in ICS UI then CM9 all the way. there is a lot of CM9 mod such as invisiblek's, abduction, kang's, and others, and there is also a combine cm9 + miui such as miui v4 ics.
its up to you which one u will pick, or ur gonna try them all (like me lol) just remember to make a nandroid backup.
happy flashing rom's

by the way, I was S-ON for a while, flashed an ICS rom, and had to go through ****s to get S-OFF. You can look near the end of scottys guide to see You can be as noob as possible, once u get CWM recovery, its as simple as putting the rom on your SD card, then going into recovery and selecting to flash it. I would recommend tiny's incredikernel HWA RC1

S-off'd and flashed the 7/5 cm9 nightly last night. Wow. Its like I have a new phone.
Couple things. Text input lags a bit. Anything to speed that up? Performance is pretty good overall but I feel like it could be better. Battery life seems to be on par with stock (buying an extended soon cause I'm still on the original battery). I also seem to be running a bit warmer than stock. Will a new kernel help?

Is it worth switching to JB from ICS yet?

I've been on CM9 RC1 for a while, but I want to switch to the CM10 kang; I'm worried that it'll suffer in battery life and stability though. Should I just wait for official or is it worth using as a daily now?

Agreed, also, CM9 is now up to RC2

All of my phones are running stock...
Epic - FC09 debloated
GS3 - LG2 debloated
GNex - 4.1.1 AOSP build
IMO, just keep the epic on stock or a stock based ROM... even though it is outdated, it runs best on the hardware.

I'd reply in the development forum, but xda-developers hate their users and I can't...
The main problem with the kang CM10 rom right now is the same problem they fixed in CM9, found here: epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/cm9-longterm-testing-is-showing-android.html (again, if xda-developers didn't hate their users, I could post a link).
If you can find a way to not use any RAM, its great! Once you open 2 or more apps, the system chugs for ~5 minutes each time you need a bit more RAM.

No. They just don't want any idiot or spammer posting in development. You need 10 contributing posts.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

As others have said, I would wait. I tried the CM10 kang from the other day (not paranoid android version) and it just didn't feel "complete," likely because it isn't. Oddly enough I figured while I was wiping I would go back to TPR and am now enjoying superb battery life that I forgot I ever had while using ICS.

If you have to ask, probably not. It lacks a lot of polish and should only be used a step between proof of concept and daily driver. Or just to show off to others.

In my experience jellybean seems really smooth. But I was on aokp m6 previously so I was happy to be back on a cm build.

This is just my opinion.... But CM9 RC2....is by far the best yet.. And i mean that because it is flawlessly, no bugs whatsoever or fc... Just a little fyi... I always Odin back to stock before I flash anything... And RC2 is snappy, stable, and has great battery life...... I can wait for jb

Note quite "flawless" I'd say... there's still the camera focus problem, bluetooth problem, etc.

RC2 bugs follow.
Auto flash only works if you toggle flash on/auto after each reboot, no LED for video, video MMS messages do not work, slideshows for MMS do not work, Bluetooth will not connect or end calls with screen off and will often disconnect/reconnect at random times, WiFi sleeps regardless of set policy.
Everything else works fine.

I really can't talk for anybody else.... But i have no focus problem on my camera or blue tooth........... Like I said before... I always Odin back to stock and then reroot and then install the latest update of the rom I like...... And CM9 RC2 has been great with me.... I am not saying that using Odin to go back to stock and re flashing will fix all the problems..... But i don't have any complaints...

Bottom line, there are still some bugs... not huge ones, but the rom isn't 100% yet.... just sayin

I will agree with that.... The rom is not %100...... My point was that in my opinion.. This is rom is the most stable as of now...... And i have tried them all.... The water I look at it.... The build of a rom I can be as snappy or as fastest.... But for me stability is counts more.... What's the point of having a fast ui if it keeps fc on you..... You get my drift?

Link to CCM 7.2 V 1.5 please

In the Condemned CM7.2 V1.6 thread, it seems a few users are having minor problems show up and CCM 7.2 v1.5 with aeroevan 0.8bfs has fewer glitches. I was looking to flash over to CCM 7.2 v1.5, but I can't find any links for it. I searched around a bit and I'm not sure if I'm just being dumb or if it's listed under a different version name. Anyway, if someone could post a link for it, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, stock kernel. You can use the .8 if you please. I plan on doing the same, I just haven't gotten around to flashing it because I get lazy.
I have no keyboard lag at all. Everything is as snappy as ever. I do miss the ICS features, but just having everything working and running at a blazing speed makes up for the missing things.
I'm sticking with this or another Gingerbread based rom until we get official ICS because I miss having a fully functioning phone.

Awesome! These are the kinds of things I like to hear lol. Now I have something to look forward to doing during downtime at work

I've been using UKB V for a few days now and love it. My only problem with it is that I find it annoying to end up on lockscreen when I select something from the notification bar, and that screen unlockers are glitchy in general. I've read that's an ICS issue though, so I'm not blaming the rom. Just mentioning it because it's the only thing I'm disliking about the rom. Trying to decide if it bothers me enough to go back to GB...
