Best SENSE & AOSP Rom? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I am going to be installing a new ROM on my girlfriend's INC2 today and just had a few questions. One, what is the best AOSP ROM out right now (my guess would be Liquid 3.2). Two, what is the best Sense ROM out? Most likely I will be installing a sense ROM as she has been running Liquid for a long time now and is running into some bugs. Also, at least for my Thunderbolt Sense ROMS are getting to be really nice and just as fast as AOSP IMHO. Anyways, my focus is on the Sense ROM, something that is new and updated. Any suggestions?

I would ditch sense and go with cyanogen or MIUI. My only issue with miui was battery life, but maybe you'll have better luck.

For a solid sense ROM, check out skyraider Zeus 1.3. It's based on the stock sense2.1 but has some 3.0 upgrades. It's a very stable, fast rom.
MikRunny is a good sense 3.5 ROM. There are some minor bugs, and it gets a lil laggy once in awhile. But overall its a solid performer.

+1 on Miui and battery life. I average 18hrs and still have around 40% left at recharge.

What's the best sense 3.0 rom out here?

I'm just wondering what's the best 3.0 rom for speed and batter life? Also one with Apps 2 sd built in

Kings hateslinger Rom is very good. But i would also say sacs23 rom pretty good. Most 3.0 Roms are stable enough to be daily drivers and are fast in my opinion

I am running [Kings-Rom]Kinged SHOOTER E3D [sense3.0] and it works magnificently for me. It is faster than stock GB and has great battery life with moderate to heavy usage. It has a2sd baked in and is very easy to use.
[Kings-Rom]Kinged SHOOTER E3D [sense3.0]
That new Shooter E3D is a great rom, I just keep losing "Market" everytime for some reason.
That's odd. I have not had that issue at all. Did you try re-flashing?

the synergy roms arent full 3.0 but they are very good i have also tried all or the kingsroms ports and roms and all are solid also lots out there for you to try... everyone has there preferences and they all run slightly different on each phone
I like MikG's 2.45 ROM. It's snappy and has most, if not all the 3.0 features except the carousel. However, there is beta ROM that includes it!
im running EVOlved which is based off of MikG. All i can say is awesome

What ROM do you use?

Post what ROM you are currently using and why
I'm running Synergy RLS1 w/ Warm theme on my Evo
I like it because it comes along with the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, and the developers community is HUGE.
I love sense but I've been rocking decks aosp rom for a while just because of full HDMI mirroring and battery life is great.

Cool! Yeah, battery life would definently be a factor, I barely push out 3 hours on what I'm using now.
CM 7 Nightlies.
I'm using the same rom loving the 3.0 lockscreen (synergy rom latest)
My Oreo Evo 4g G-bread
Currently running Synergy RLS1 but I am thinking of taking a look at MikG. I like the Sense 3.0 lock screen and the Sense apps. I have not tried out any AOSP on my Evo but my (deactivated) Hero runs CM7. I may have to check out Deck for the battery life.
I've been looking into MIUI, not quite sure though. I like how It's more simple, and seemingly cleaner. Yet I'm not a big fan of iOS, which it strongly resembles.

Decks Rom gingerbread-evo-deck 1.3b. This is really the only ROM I've had luck with! I've tried just about everyone else's ROMS and I like the Sense ROMS but after about 2 or 3 days or so I start getting FC's for no apparent reason for my phone process, then sense, then android system, etc...
So until I figure out why I am having so much issues with Sense I'll keep using Decks ROM!!
Deck 1.2.1 with Tiamat SBC kernel.
Light, fast, and great battery life.
CyanogenMod 7.1. Like the stripped down feel of it, and seems to run smoother than 7.0.3.
Still some bugs here and there, but it IS still in development.
Synergy's starting to work pretty well, though. Just hate the lag from Sense.

Decks ROM? Never heard of it, I'll be sure to check it out though I used Synergy for a few days and it worked wonders for me (love the animations in the Warm theme), hopefully no issues arise.
Since root I've flashed five or six different roms. I kinda like a little from all of them but I keep coming back to the stock I did a nandroid of. I think it runs smoother and faster than the other roms. But that is my opinion.

So ive been bouncing around from rom to rom and I'm wondering wat rom is everyone using as a daily???? .. I'm a prime XL Guy and love tha rom as my daily but the battery life is way better on cm7 with tiamat or savaged ... trying to find the best rom/kernel combo for battery life... I love sense for the bells and whistles but love asop because of the battery life.... hmmmmm.. decisions decisions....

MIUI. It's pretty, has nice built in apps including an awesome theme manager (no social networking though, if you're into that), and you still get great battery life. It's not bloated, but I find it to be the intermediate between Sense and your typical AOSP roms. I've been running one version or another of it for almost a year.
Supersonic Evo 4G | MIUI | Tapatalk
My custom made cm7.2 kanged and compiled from source is my daily now, prior to that was my own modded version of decks 1.3 for sense mikg 3.0 or the classic and ics my compiled and frankensteined cm9 I have it on my evo and my kindle fire
We are legion, for we are many
I've been running the express beta for about a month now. Fast, relatively bug free, and I can get 2 full days out of my extended battery.
Edit: and it has 4G, wouldn't run a ROM without that...
Thanks for the replies.... I've tried the classic v005 and like it a lot... even tho its sense 1.0 it works.... was going to try the final RC mix rom from Jan 24th with the anthrax kernel v4 and see how it goes .. hopefully I get great performance as well as battery life.... since I'm a heavy user lol

Galnet Miui on desire HD. I flash the weeklies. Always wait a few days though. Sometimes a weekly is bad.

ROM suggestions please

Trying to get my wife setup with a good ROM. I had skyraider running on it for a while but she wanted a change. So i installed Magnolia for her and shes complaining about the battery drain compared to skyraider (which has insane battery life).
Anything else have good battery and features? I dont have time to flash them all.
Oh, only sense. AOSP is "boring".... Lol
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
You sure you don't want AOSP? MIUI 12.9 is great!
Anyways... back to sense ROMs.
nitsuj's ROM's are great! I personally like TSMvanilla but TSMBullet is great as well.
Another recommendation is Sabotage Sense.
Go with Nits GingerBangSense. The (S)tock or (M)odded version, you can't go wrong...dude makes solid ROM's.
I personally like nitsuj's Roms and skyraider
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
I have to agree here. My main 2 backups are of skyraider and nits gingersense m. Also if you want a change give MIUI a shot. It is beautiful and highly customizable.

most stable ROM?

I need to update my wife's DInc 2 and was wondering if anyone has suggestions on a stable ROM. I don't have time to try a bunch out for her and am not familiar with the phone. she's not techy, so it needs to work, but stock is a little boring/laggy for her.
the main things she needs to work are camera (both), tether, and pretty decent battery life.
thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Thanks. I looked at viper a month ago and it looked great, but just like you said, crazy lag when I tried it. That's actually why I'm looking for something new.

Also, would you recommend a kernel with MIUI? I see you're the dev on that one. ; )
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
If you want stable but don't like stock, I would suggest cm7 (mrom) or the old gingerbread miui (though this may be harder to find unless someone still has it, try rom manager). Ics and jellybean can be iffy since we never got an official release and a proper kernel.

I say CM7 (even their latest nightly has a lot of customizations) or Skyraider Zeus (what I am currently running). Although ICS works really well - it has its glitches which could be frustrating for someone who doesn't want to deal with workarounds.
thanks for all the replies! I've got her on miui v4 for now. she likes the miui look and theme options. if she decides she doesn't like it, I'll probably go with cm7.

I'm currently back on Skyraider Zeus, and enjoying the stability and zippy response time, after trying various ICS Roms.
I do miss the HTC trace keyboard and the newer HTC mail app, though.

The gingerbread miui rom with aeroevans .7 kernel is nice as stated above. The only real feature missing that newer gingerbread roms have is swipe to dismiss notifications.

Good topic. After getting bored with Cm 7.2 stable, I'm using de-sensed Viper 1.3.1, but I thinking about trying MROM. This is my work phone and Viper doesn't play nice with the device administrator security settings.
I'll miss ICS, but I won't miss having to enter my password to answer a phone call!

+1 for Skyraider Zeus, got an iPhone and I gave my DI2 to my mom threw Skyraider on it because I didn't want to have to talk her through clearing data to make camera's work and I used it for two days while the new phone was in the mail and forgot why I stopped using it. One of the smoother/fast roms and the battery life is amazing. Easily double what I got on Viper's.

Agree with this. Although I've only tried CM7 because I'm all about battery life and stability. MROM does that and more. The UI is clean and everything is zippy. It really gets the most out of this phone. Who needs ICS or Jellybean when you have a kickass rom like this?

totally agree with you. I've had a droidx for a few years and have stuck with the gb roms the whole way. I've tried all the ics ones, but they all have their issues, even if it's just battery life. every once in awhile I even flash a froyo rom and love it...

Flawless functionality, battery life, and stability.
Theme it however you want.
Good luck with the phone! It's a good one that is overlooked.

I have run this rom with and without the scripts, I don't see much if any difference. You don't have to use those if you don't want to. And you don't need an app to overclock, it has that in settings. But you can use that to undervolt and change I/o's. As phonetool stated, this rom runs really well on this phone. Give it a shot.

I had been using DKStunna's Global 10.1 JB ROM build 3 as my DD for a few months and it was mostly stable. It would lag out once in a while I was managing apps, but it was pretty fast with the built-in Nova Launcher. I got tired of not having a working camcorder and since DKStunna broke his Vivow and ceased development I decided to switch to ChillyBean's ParanoidAndroid/PAC 2.19 ROM. So far it's been awesome! It has "inverted" GAPPS, Facebook, and some other core system apps, which I'm not a fan of, but it's supposedly something you can change. I have a working camcorder again (after a few tweaks), which is what I was looking for. It looks like ChillyBean broke his Vivow also so I don't know how much more development he'll be able to do, which is very sad. Anyway, I highly recommend the latest ParanoidAndroid.

You don't have to change anything for the inverted gapps. Just flash the normal ones instead. Then you never have the inverted ones to begin with.
