Develop Bugs

Favorite Rom

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.

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.

Best overall ROM for Droid Inc.?

So I finally got my wipe to upgrade from her dumbphone to a smartphone (Droid Inc.) and I'm looking into what are the best ROMS available *if* she lets me hack her phone.
I'm new to this arena since I have a Droid X so I want to know from people's experiences what is the best ROM for the DInc? From doing a quick look through it seems like CyanogenMod 6, SkyRaider Sense or Redemptive rEVOlution might be possible candidates.
I know the CyanogenMod ROM is one of the big ones but I'd like to keep the Sense UI on her phone to make it as easy as possible to use for her (and I do like HTC's overlay.)
So any thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

Try out redemptive revolution 1.9. Good battery life and very stable.

I use SkyRaider 3.3.2 with LauncherPro Plus and GOTO as a lock screen and have no problems. I too love HTC Sense, just decided to play with LPP.

Heads up: There's a "General" Incredible subforum for these sorts of posts.

*make sure you know what version of the dinc she has, amoled or slcd,some roms and recovery won't work without fixes* that said redemption rom is currently my fave, otherwise virtuous rom. theres also red raven and feather but wouldn't recommend those for your wife. I believe theres a rom that sum1 made with a pink theme somewheres also but don't quote me on that. if you do any of these look for the new leaked stock kernel, has a lot better battery life and charges in half the time.

I love Cyanogen, if you're looking for Vanilla ROM this is a great choice. I'm using CM6.0.2 right now and I love it. CM6.1 RC1 should be dropping very soon, it's not 100% stable but Cyanogen himself it could be used as your daily driver

I'd stay away from the Desire HD and Z ports until the camera issues are resolved.
I'm using redemptive revolution 1.9 and loving it right now. It just got updated with new framework so its the latest and greatest in my book!

I love the Desire Z port from IncredibleDoes but some people need the camera or would like to have the cam, if that's the case try SkyRaider 3.3.2 its the best one out there for me.

Uncommon Sense
I will stick with Uncommon Sense Rom, its the most Stable free bug HTC Incredible Rom, the feels is likely Sense OEM manufacturer, I did not find any lack at all with the exception of APk Drawer little lag scrolling up. as well is the best of the two world android/Sense blended.
All the rest of the HTC Incredible Rom have several problems that have to be address and for sure Updates will be available to Roms like Sky raider and Virtuous.

Most ROMs are good, but also aren't 100% done. To be honest, if you wife uses her phone a lot and isn't a tinkerer just keep it the way it is lol.

Once camera issues are resolved the desire ports will pretty much be in a league better than any of the custom roms based on earlier sense. I would also strongly recommend miui except that many of the really useful sense widgets have no equivalent ones in aosp roms. I would recommend aosp roms only for people who are ok with constantly tinkering with their phones, not for your wife who will probably want.something that just works.
Until then redemptive, virtuous, skyraider are good choices.

I have tried a bunch of Roms and all of them have their strong points. This is all a matter of personal preference.
That being said, I would recommend Virtuous with the custom kernel or new stock kernel and here are the reasons:
1. It is very stable and fast.
2. Good battery life.
3. Nothing is removed or modded that cannot be readded or turned back on using the tools the developer provided (Virtuous Buddy).
4. Great dev support.
This is not the only Rom I use, but it is definitely the only Rom I would put on my wifes phone.

Thread moved to Q&A.

I would say virtuous or the newest leaked deoxed stock ROM... both using the newest stock kernel.
Only roms I would consider for the girlfriend....
Personally I would just do a few mods to the newest stock ROM minus the bloat.
Sent from my ADR6300

I switch between Redemption and Redemptive Revolution.
I like Redemption with Kings BFS #5 kernel the best, amazing battery life! It just "feels" good to me.

Wow nice! Thanks for all the recommendations! I don't think I've heard of Virtuous so I'll check that one out.
Also to commenton the tinkering part, she definitely isn't into tinkering...in fact she complains when I tinker with my phone for too long LOL
Going ASOP isn't really an option since the base Android UI is lacking without some extra apps so the Sense UI is perfect for her. I do plan on (obviously) rooting the phone and setting up SetCPU but any additional improvements custom ROMS make are always nice to have.

Fastest stable sense Rom?

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!

I'm enjoying the customization of cm7 but for sense 1.0 I like skyraider, for sense 2.0 I'd say warm z. Nils business sense looks good too but I haven't tried it as it requires cwm 3+.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

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.

No rom is flawless, there are already atleast 3 threads with different probs with sr, not to mention issues on main thread. All roms have quirks, its all in what you can live with.

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.
and check out my theme page for Skyriader4.0

I'm using Warm Z and it's great, very fast & love Sense 2.0

I think you should try "Optimzed Z" i heard it was pretty good

Best Sense 3.0 ROM For Evo?

Is there even a fully working Sense 3.0 Rom out there?
And if so what ROM have you had luck with?
I am useing CM7 but wanting a little bit of a change so looking at going back to Sense and would like 3.0.
Thanks for the input!
James

you might get some people saying Synergy will be the way to go...but its still in private beta so dont be expecting to be getting the links to it.
as for public ROMs:
you can go with either MikG ([ROM] - [MikRoms] - [6/22/2011] - MikG v2.1 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0) or Virus's Kingdom port (|ROM|JUN 10| VirusROM Kingdom REVOlution |B1.3|2.3.3|SENSE 3.0| - xda-developers)
MikG is a hybrid between Sense 2.1 and 3.0 to make it stable (it does not have the carousel rosie)
VirusROM Kingdom REVOlution is a port from the Gingerbread leak for the upcoming HTC Kingdom (which is kinda like a smaller slightly version of the Evo 4G with the Evo 3D specs [minus 3D]) so its full 3.0 sense

if i were you i wouldn't want a fully sense 3.0 the files are just too big and don't think theres one fully stable.
But there are a couple 2.1/3.0 roms out there and there great and everything works from what i know (maybe not 4g) and there pretty stable
Alliance Rom ( i use the stock version but theres also a Themed one, works great.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120734
& Virus (of course) great rom and there instruction if you want to partition and speed it up
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071547
1 more that i know of and thats Mikg. this is the peoples choice from what i have seen and i can't argue. i use Alliance just because the stock one looks better. but im about the looks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967
Enjoy and don't be scared to hit thanks

o yea forgot about Alliance! that one works too lol
like Joey said....a full 3.0 ROM will take up WAY too much space since the files are huge...you are better off going with a 2.1/3.0 hybrid

I have installed and used all 3 of these ROMs and MikG is the fastest and most stable; IMHO.

hyrbid sense 3.0 themed or virus rom kingdom revoulution

I have tried all three, and until the last couple of days, Virus was my favorite. Virus gives constant updates and support of his ROMs

MikG is also quick with his updates and helpful*

Thanks for all the input! I tried a few but found myself changing so much I think I am just a fan of asop roms. but still thinking of giving on a week with out changing much to see if I can go back to sense.
The one thing I really like is the lock screen! I would love to have that on cm7.

I just installed v8 and this thing is amazing I didn't think these ROMs could run this smooth on our phones and I'm trying to kill the battery to calibrate it and I've been on it since about 6 this morning and its 12:40 and I'm at 43% thats not bad I've been using the hell out of it trying to kill the battery.

I have to go with synergy, I've not had a single problem! And the second release even has the panoramic camera!

It has no 720 video recording.
Do any of the 3.0 ROM's have hdmi out?
If not is that implemented on hybrid versions?

Lots of roms...suggestions?

I am putting a custom rom on my wife's phone for the first time. She doesn't really do anything major on her phone. She has gingerbread and it just got rooted. Any suggestions on a good rom to use? Thanks.

Besides being in the wrong section, miui is a great asop rom. If you want a little sense 3.0 check out newt's sensation. Rmk has a debloated version of the latest ota gingerbread if you fancy something more stock.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App

besides why she needs a custom rom?
I have been trying alot of these out last couple days but i havent tried the sense 3.0 been having best luck with miks new sensation 1.1 though

If you need GSM for international travel, select carefully. Most ROM's don't support it well or at all in many cases. If you are CDMA only, your choices are more solid.

I've tried miui and cm7 and in my opinion cm7 is just a snappier and better ROM. Just my opinion though

CM7? Which one is that?
BTW, as to why she might want a custom rom, speed...right?

Really all of the roms out now are pretty nice...
Being for a girl I'd think shed lean toward liking miui or a sense 3.0 based roms like virtuous or mikroms incredible sensation. The latest version from newtoroot (incredible sensation) has given me the best results. Very fast and stable and newt has been very responsive with the few quirks. by quirks I mean that his version is based on sense 2.1 so there was more he had to do to get the framework to align. It is definitely good enough to be a daily driver now.
Cm7 and omgb/omfgb are probably the fastest roms out. I really like omfgb combined with the tiamat kernel but cm7 is similarly great with more customization options (most of which your wife would likely never use). Omgb/omfgb is very back to basic, pure Android experience.
Rmks gingersense has been mostly my go-to though. Similar to stock, debloated, customizable. Pretty much a set it and forget it option with no issues. The only thing that aosp based roms have that I have an issue with is the incall volume. Tiamats kernel improves this a lot but still not quite where stock sense is in volume level.
