Yeah that's true.

Other than Cyanogenmod, most of the Roms on here (other than ones specifically labeled "fully loaded") are as minimal as they can be, because they need certain elements of the twiz framework.

I just got an Incredible 2 to replace my Nexus One (new job, new phone), and I'm trying to find a stable, updated and minimal ROM. I have been going through the DEV forum, and I see quite a few choices, but I don't see anything that's minimal. Something similar to this.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I might give Liquid Smooth a try- AOSP GB 2.3.7 built from source and very minimal. It's in ROM Manager too.
Im not a fan of rom manager, but I like most AOSP.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
It looks like a nice ROM, but I don't think it's minimal. Are there any other suggestions? In the mean time, I'll just root my current phone and remove the bloatware.
Thanks
OMFG is probably the most minimal AOSP.

We don't really have a pure vanilla gingerbread rom for the inc2 but Omfg is a great rom too.
Well, there's OMGB, and there's OMFGB, the first being plain old gingerbread android, whereas the second is custom gingerbread.

Yes we do.. OMGB is straight AOSP

The other thing I need is a rom that does GSM so I have world phone capabilities. From what I read about Liquid Smooth, it does not work.

btw here are my stuff:
firmware v: 2.3.6
kernal v:2.6.35.7
build #:GINGERBREAD.EL30
im still getting used to things with the epic.
Clean gb is a good choice Also there is an mtd version which is a different partition map and will open up your internal storage to 676mb .
Anyways clean is as stock as it gets a good kernel would be in order as well so shadow kernel or the samurai kernel will be sufficient I run the samurai kernel because of the awesome tweaks hut shadow is just as smooth.

oh man. im sorry. i meant stock as in the touchwiz ui. im so sorry man. im running the basic stock rom it comes with before you root it. and man my battery is so horrible. and performance is ok but i think it could be better. i tried uninstalling apps and everything.
im so completely lost between mtd and rom?
Is there a kernel i can just flash right over the normal stock rom? maybe for battery tweaks and performance??
I recommend cm7 or cm9. Cm7 is more stable and has more mods but cm9 is on android 4.0.

Not really there aren't really any stock kernels like that besides you need to root anyways to even access any undervolting abilities.

How far do you want to go with you phone?
Are you interesting in just adding a rooted kernel and leaving everything else stock?
Or are you looking to go all out and get the best setup possible to get all that you can out of your phone?
Or are you looking for something in between?
If you are looking just to add the basics, install Clockworkmod recovery, and a stock rooted kernel
If you are looking for the bleeding edge (will require frequent updates) install CM9 and the latest Samurai kernel
If you are looking for something inbetween, I LOVE the Legendary ROM, as it has been superb for me, before I made the move to CM9
I'm basically looking for a stock kernel that will give me good performance and long lasting battery. I was basically looking for a rom that has everything stock just little tweaks to the system and a stable kernel. I love the touchwiz interface I came from sense and I'm not trying to get rid of it.

It has a flashable zip for touchwiz launcher. Mine does too . I know you are not trying to get rid of touchwiz but I think you should try cyanogenmod 7 or MIUI. You can always flash to cleangb if you don't like them.

Install clockworkmod recovery 5 (if you already have it, don't worry) because it wont work with ACS recovery. Then you can get touchwiz launcher as a flashable from the CleanGB rom's thread. You also have to search my rom's (marcusantROM) thread and look for the GPS fix. It is setting permissions to a file.

I think I'm ready to jump back into the ICS pool now that things are a lot more stable from the earlier leaks.
We have such a great development community for this phone that there are just too many flavors out there to try them all. I know I want to stick with TW based ROMs simply because I like the little things TouchWiz adds to the stock Android base.
I'm leaning towards Frankenstein's Ego or Calkulin's 2 because I've had a great experience with both Calk and Team ERA in the past, but I don't want alienate other good ROMs.
So I want to hear from you guys. Out of all of the ICS TW ROMs, which do you prefer as a daily driver? What do you/don't you like about it? Have you personally run into any problems with freezing, rebooting, lagging, etc?
Thanks!
Wicked Senzations Rom, or Calkulin......

It does. I'm not sure if I had a bad install or what but Calkulin's ROM had some issues. The two main ones were, spazzy scrolling and many force closing of apps. When it was working it was crazy smooth though so I'm going to either try again or wait til it's more stable.

TouchWiz is more than just the launcher. It's the framework, too. Anything that isn't AOSP-based is running on the TouchWiz frame, for lack of a better word.

Thank you! I actually just found it as a launcher. Big duh here...;-)
Question, how is it better than GO Launcher? What does it do that is better?
I wouldn't say it is better as it is all based on preference. For me TW is too basic and didn't let me customize my phone the way I wanted to. I loved calks gb based from. But haven't tried his ics. I have been enjoying the blue kuban ics rom. His customer service is elite.

Agat's newest tFE22v0.1.1 would be a great place to start. It is minimally themed and rock solid. What it lacks in bells and whistles it far makes up for in speed and trouble free functionality. I use a modified version of Calc's bare ROM script that cleans out a ton of stuff then I add a few inverted apps. Perfect for me!

Stock slightly modified by me. Once source is out those other roms mentioned in the op will be solid.
Hi All,
I'm looking to update my phone with a new ROM/OS. I've rooted before and believe I currently have a MIDNIGHT ROM loaded (see attached phone screen-shot). I see references to CM9 and CM10, ICS/JB. I think i know the processes, ODIN, etc.... I'd just like to be pointed to the most stable, current files.
Thanks in advance.
If you want the most stable and best for the Epic 4G and coming from Midnight you may want to stick with one of the FC09 Toichwiz ROMs. If you are more adventurous and don't mind an AOSP ROM then CM9 is Ice Cream Sandwich for this phone. There are still a few bugs in CM10 and the Jellybean variants.

TPR is a great stable ROM. Great battery life, all the toggles, smoothness tweaks, etc. I went to it after CleanGB and even gave the included Zeam Launcher a whirl. Try it out. You won't be disappointed. I got the flashing bug after a couple months and have tried AOKP M6, CM9, then went back to TPR. Now I've gone to CM10, but may yet go back to TPR for the stability and great battery life.
Edit---
Be sure to Odin or flash the FC09 modem.

I agree with the TPR comments BUT if you want that AOSP variant and stable with great battery life go to CM7. BATTERY life is the KEY to my statement/point of view.

Thank you my friend. Which modem are you running? There are different schools of thought on modems. I always just go with latest official after the problems with the leaked modems. But whatever gives you beat speed and signal for you.

Frankly, I can't say for sure if FC09 is any better than earlier versions, but I have always had good luck running the latest official released modem. If you're comfortable using Odin, changing modems is easy and not particularly risky. There are CWM flashable versions of the modems, but that involves flashing a modded kernel, flashing the modem, then reflashing your intended kernel. To be honest, I think Odin is safer and simpler for modems.

based on the screenshot your still on an old modem, which u might want to keep or might want to change....
im on fc09 which is the 2nd latest and i believe to be the most popular, however there is a new modem (fc19)
aokp milestone 6 seems pretty stable, i have a good experience with it......
+1 all the roms are awesome but its between tpr and clean gb hands down.... All are awesome so just depends on what you like....
