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!!!
I know there are a lot of Sense based Roms out there for this device, and i was just wondering which rom you guys preferred. I've had some pretty good experiences with SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 and also Virtuous. What are some of your thoughts and opinions on these roms and others?

I loved Skyraider on my OG dinc, but for some reason not a fan if Zeus. It is extremely stable, but just not for me. I'm a big fan of nitsuj's gingerbangsense with the 3.0 patch, or even andybonesstock with the same patch. Both work amazing and are stable in my experience. As far as 3.5, Newts hd is pretty solid

Even more solid for sense 3.5 ROMs is Mikrunny. Most solid ROM I've ever used.

True. Speaking of which, I can't wait to see what they got in 2013 when I can upgrade lol. I wanna see some real powerhouses. Although, idk if I could live without Root now that I've experienced it's true awesomeness.
So this new ROM that Mik made is better then Incredible HD 1.1? What are the main differences with both? Is one more stabler and bugless then the other?

HD was a combo of OG Sensation and Runny, whereas Mikrunny is 100% mik optimized runny. It runs better than any Runny ROM I've tried, and you can use skins with it.

cant go wrong with virtuous in my opinion, unity or affinity. BTW unity is the sense 3.0 version and affinity is the sense 3.5 version. They both are stable, solid roms and have their own tweeks built in. Also, and im not sure about unity, but affinity can overclock waaaay past 1.7 so thats definatley a plus. id highly recommend trying those 2 out, mainly virtuous affinity. heres the site if ya need it:

I am 4 days into the Dinc2 and am enjoying it so far as I am sad to say a former DX2 owner. I have worked on HTC's before and always find Synergy Rom's in the forums. I am not seeing it here like in the Dinc forum's or Evo forum's. I am curious if anyone knows if we will see something here for Synergy or no? I liked it on the Evo but it wasn't my phone so I didn't get to play with it to long. Any heads up would be great Thanx!

I am not sure on a synergy release mainly due to the ICS releases coming out. There a lot of devs in our community so it could spark interest.
If you are a fan of synergy I recommend any of nitsujs work. Also over on mikmik newts roms are killer.

That is kind of what I was thinking was holding up some roms I am used to seeing I am running nitsujs TSM Sense M EXT4 5.0.1 with the 3.0 sense patch.
I am far from new to modding but I don't want to run right to the ICS builds just yet I want to explore all the Roms for the Dinc2. I also know I like MikMik Roms as well. Coming of the fascinate and DX2 CyanogenMod builds it's kind of fun to have more build and rom diversity to flash away like an addict haha.

Completely agree. I started with the nexus one. (More than enough Rom variations lol). To the Sony X10 with very few different rom choices. To the Inc2 where we have everything from stock to cm9 and sense 4.
Check out mikrunny, inchd 1.1 (mikmik), nits trinity (full sense 3.0), nits bullet mt4g port, and of course your aosp.
A lot of people run skyraider (teambamf) and mikrunny. Although like stated before the ICS builds are near fully functional.

So I've tried probably 6 or so different Sense 3.5 ROMs including MikRunny, Magnolia, various TSM, and some others... I'd have to say that my favorite one is Magnolia... It is the most stable, smoothest, fastest, with the best battery life. Share your thoughts?
Use SkyRaider Zeus on teambamf.net
If battery life wasn't an issue, I would stick with TSMBullet. I am a stickler for battery life so I would use Skyraider Zeus over Bullet.

Yes skyraider is sense 3.0, and I have been checking mikmik daily for newts release but it will probably have a lot of the same issues as the other sense 4 Roms which at the moment is a deal breaker for me because I need my camera and camcorder as well as mms.

Skyraider isn't sense 3, it's actually 2.1 with 3.0 features. Just for clarification.

I prefer to use stock rom rooted, to uninstall some Verizon apps.

Awesome man, looking forward to it. I like to change ROMS every few weeks... lol it keeps things interesting! I'll definitely be looking forward to that man. Somewhat off-topic but do you have any idea if you can install an OC Daemon on AOSP like CM9 or AOKP?
Coredriod is my favorite sense rom, but I would have to say Skyraider is a close second.
I've been using Mikrunny for a few months now. I have no complaints about speed or battery life.
Newt is working on a Sense 4 ROM. I don't see any Sense 4 ROM being completed till HTC releases the source.
Any work that a DEV does for the community is a favorite of mine.
all of nitsuj17's work I LOVE.
anything mik related- aka, NEWT, MIK, etc.
team BAMF,skyraider (ihtfp69) was my first "favorite" sense ROM, back on the Inc1.
JoelZ
There were many DEVs from the Eris days as well. good times.
Andybones stock was/is great... I loaded it up when my wife was using my phone until she could upgrade. All the flashable mods on a stock Rom was just what she needed.
Skyraider Zeus is solid. Anything nitsuj makes I highly recommend...and he always seems to have cool new stuff and is very active in the forums.

I was happy to see some people from the Eris dev section move up to the Inc2. Maybe we all have an attraction to the little guys in Verizon's line up.
I've loaded Nit's M version of Sense and Skyraider. Both are pretty solid with everything working out of the box. I have both saved right now as nands if I feel like switching back. I personally find Nit's version a little more smoother than Skyraider but that might be do to kernel settings.

Ok I need a recommendation for a stable Rom for my wife. I've moved on to the rezound and haven't been keeping up with the development for the incredible for a few months. She needs something super stable and good on battery. At the moment she's on ice cream sense and wants something new. Are any if the ics roms stable enough at the moment for a noob to run?

I personally recommend CM7.2 (RC3 released today) but as far as ICS goes, even though it doesn't have HWA, AOKP is probably the most stable i've seen so far for the inc.
Good Luck!
Yeah I had cm7 on it for a while and I may go back to it. Any others I should look at?

Had no idea RC3 was available, appreciate the notice.
CM7.2 is the way to go if you want stable, quick, and easy to use all in one. I have tried and used CM9 alpha and it is a damn fine rom. Everything worked for me that I use (never tried the camera) so my ICS vote goes to that. I prefer CM7.2 for my daily use cuz I had an issue or two with the ICS roms that I wasn't willing to compromise on.

I actually prefer CM9 to AOKP for HWA and overall appearance but AOKP has had a lot of the customization features that I look for in a ROM, I still use CM7.2 as my daily though because it has everything I want and has amazing battery performance.
I put miui on my girls inc a few months ago n she loves it. It's running nice too with tinys kernel n uv'ed. She gets good battery life. The themes I think is probably wat makes it nice for her, a lot of options.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Out of all of the ROMs that I've tried, Ice Cream Sense had the best battery life by far. I've been on Evervolv 2.2.0a2 with the latest Incredikernel beta (with HWA) for 24 hours now and while its not the greatest on battery life, its extremely smooth, fast, and stable. No random reboots as of yet. Definitely recommend it! Just my 2ยข...
Update: battery life isn't really all that great with this new Evervolv. I'm still gonna give it a run for a bit and see how it works out. So far, so good... other than the battery.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using XDA
As far as customization and looks go for her, I would go with Miui. Definitely throw tiny's kernel on there though as the battery life isn't the best, at least in my experience. Can't go wrong with CM7.2 as well!
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I tried miui but she didn't like it at all. So I flashed cm7 and she's happy again.

yeah the people here are awesome come back
And I dont know how it is for other phones, but I am impressed at the amount of work amateur (meaning not making money out of it...) devs put into custom roms and kernels for the droid inc.
It is unbelievable and gives life to the phone!! It is the whole reason I have not upgraded my phone even though I have had an upgrade available for 3 months.I am not planning on doing so until my inc dies.
