What Rom should I use? (Please read its not what you thing) - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

IDK what ROM to use?
Cy mod 7- it has a sucky camera and it feels unstable at times
Stock ROM- it can't display all emails and is slow at times
Incredible 2 HD/3D- it is laggy and isn't smooth. I just don't like it in general.
MIUI- I DIDN'T BUY A DROID TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE AN IPHONE!!!!!!
I really like the stock Rom but why can't I read messages sent from my dear old aunt!!!! And stock has an amazing camera. Cy mod is almost perfect but I like sense and the camera sucks. Anything made be newroot is amazing but very laggy and too much animation. It always feels artificial. MIUI is an ios for android Rom. But if I wanted ios I would have bought an iPhone.
Can anyone help me decide?

Well, if you like cm7, but want a better camera, try the MIUI camera on cm7

Or liquid smooth 3.2, it's aosp with no problems for me, not sure bout the camera but like he said I hear good things bout the miui one, the one in liquid works good for me can't tell a difference between it and sense. If u do choose liquid and want to undervolt u will have to use aeros .7 bfs test build as the stock kernel let's u overclock with the built in application but not undervolt, and if you flash any other kernel other than the one I mentioned it will break sound

i'm either sounding like a broken record, or a fanboy, but SkyRaider Zeus has your request in spades. i share some of your points and tried a few ROMS out, about a week at a time before switching, currently settling on SRZ at the moment. the more i use it, the more hesitant i am to bother trying anything else. i can't find anything to complain about. perhaps in time my opinion will change, but it's doubtful. this ROM continues to amaze. it feels stock Sense, but has all the extras i have been looking for/using in the Market.
/fanboy

Miui is nothing like the iPhone. Have you tried it? Give it a week and sop hating lol. And how is cm 7 not stable.
PS miui with go launcher is the bomb.

I'm running Andybonestock.

Same dilemma here. Aerovan' s cm7 kang with his. 8 kernel is a beast , but the camera (especially indoor, low light) is subpar. Hd 2 is not quite as speedy but it has a great camera and very polished interface (although I hate the 3.5 dialer).
Really can't make up my mind.

The thing that everyone likes about MIUI the most is the ability to customize every little detail of your theme on the fly. The stock theme does look similar to iphone but it does not run like an iphone.
Try it out with different themes that people made and you'll see exactly why a lot of people like to run it.
Why don't you try a newer rom of newt's? Which version are you running on his Inc 2 HD/3D. You could always try mikrunny and if you don't like the animations, turn them off. Turn off the 3d features, it runs better that way anyway.

you really think that CM7 int stable?
Dude... its the best android experince ive ever had. aside from one time when the screen did not wake, its been solid up time for me for the first week running it... more than i can say about my x2.
fwiw, i tried core but did not like it. way too much graphical wizbang... it was slow compared to cm7

What issue did you have with cm7? I just built my own for my phone and didn't have any issues. I do use aeroevan's .7 kernal instead of stock cm7, but i've never had any issues.
I've run miui for the past 6 months with no issues, but i do use aeroevan's .7 bfs kernal. For Sense, I would run Virtuous or Zeus. I recommend using a different recovery too. I really recommend 4ext recovery. It blows cwm out of the water. 4ext has a beta touch recovery that works really well.

Sense: ZEUSSS!!!!
If you're feeling a little daring, ICS.

I have try everything but for some reason I keep finding myself back in miui there just nothing like it every sense rom looks the same to me no matter who made it miui has a million themes but if I was gonna run sense Mik runny is awesome

TSM Pool Party. I think I've tried nearly ever ROM, and it is a pure omfgb rom with TSM mods. I do like the polished roms but ill admit every sense 3.0 rom felt extremely heavy and idk why. virtuous I believe felt the heaviest. just too much, lagged a little. the amount of time I've spent on all the roms, would probably be newts HD, I believe rls 1.1 but of was very smooth. I then went to ICS 4.0.3 Christmas beta. everything was perfect on it, but obviously no camera. yet. I used to measure with cm7 but idk...not my thing anymore. just my input, sorry to rant. but yes I do like my TSM

I simply used Titanium Backup while running MIUI and backed up the camera app. Then I went into my daily driver (which is Liquid Smooth) and restored the backed up MIUI camera app (app only, no data), again using Titanium.
I was running Mikrunny for several weeks, if you're looking for Sense I think it's the best out there. But like another poster said upthread, Liquid Smooth really does live up to its name. Until we get an ICS ROM that's suitable as a daily, I'm sticking with Liquid Smooth.

Cm7 or sense

Ok so I have ran both I am currently running cm7 and I like it but I kinda still like sense so really irk what to choose as a daily drivervwhat do ya think?
sent from Cm7
I use CM7 as my daily, and I find it quite enjoyable. Sometimes I change the screen color just cuz I can.
I've tried both and enjoy sense more. It just seems more organized to me, but I've been using it since it was called touchflo3d on the HTC diamond.
Maybe I just don't like change, lol.
I really liked CM6 and 7 for the customization options but they were just buggie on my phone... maybe it was the kernels I used, maybe some random app or something but neither of them really had everything working correctly that I need/use...like sometimes GPS wouldnt work, sometimes it was the camera, both of which I use on a daily basis....
Sense on the other hand is much easier to find a ROM/kernel combo that allows everything to work as it should, with decent battery life... Has good UI IMO but lacks some of the customization options that CM had... I really couldnt tell an actual difference between the two types in terms of speed, although the "benchmark" tests always said there was a big difference
Just my opinion but I like Sense as a daily and then flash CM for a few days here and there, then nandroid back to my Sense....
I like CM7, but what you're really asking is whether Sense is better than ADW. Personally, I use LauncherPro Plus.

Have you used any others? Fresh Evio Myns all run pretty fast with no bugs for me.
Personally for a daily driver i use "Sense". mainly because i have 4g in my area and use it. Once CM gets 4g bug free i will probably switch to CM.
I put sense in quotes because i remove everything i can from it including the rosie ui (i use launcherpro) and the htc widgets. Hate the rosie UI but like copy/paste and 4g.
Yea...I've used alot of roms since getting my htc....and I liked myns and caulkins...but mikfroyo with a netarchy kernel has had the best results for myself

I finally took the plunge and flashed MIUI this morning. I played with it for about 2 hours and and then nand restored MikfroYo 4.4 because i missed it.
I just couldn't see myself getting used to the iphone feel and the lack of wiimax really bummed me out. It was pretty fun having such a completely different feel though.

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.

Favorite Sense 3.5 ROM for dinc 2 discussion

I though I would start a thread to get peoples options on there favorite sense 3.5 Rom.
I think the most common Sense 3.5 ROMs are Magnolia, Incredible 2 HD, and Runnydroid. I will add more if you use somthing else as your daily driver.
Edit: Virtuous affinity,Mikrunny
My favorite Sense 3.5 ROM is incredible 2 HD. It has a lot of added tweaks and is fully functional.
So what's your favorite Sense 3.5
Virtuous affinity although I haven't tried the new build. I'm just not a sense kinda guy.
For sense 3. 5, without a doubt incredible 2 hd is the smoothest Rom. Looks awesome with ICS theme

It does indeed. I don't use it, but it does have it.
I've been running the Mikrunny ROM for a couple weeks now. I have no complaints at all.
Personally, I find all Sense 3.5 ROMs to be somewhat slow and laggy. For that reason I only run Sense 3.0 and lower and AOSP ROMs. In my experience they are far smoother than Sense 3.5. My personal recommendations are TSM Trinity and Bullet.

I don't like 3.0 that much becuase it dosnt have the alternate 1*4 weather and clock widget. It's funny though, sense 3.0 was made for dual core phones, and 3.5 was made for single core phones. To think 3.0 would run better

Yeah best way to describe it. I can't run ICS along with what appears to be several others. Nobody can figure it out either. Ive ran all ICS Roms up untill about 2 weeks ago. Tried ICS again. Everytime I turn my screen off goes black and when I try to turn screen back on only the bottom lights come up also Rom runs horrible extremely lagged, never had this problem in the past. Wiped everything even sd card. Only thing I haven't tried is rerooting. May be only hope. Wish I could fix it. Drives me crazy. Oh by the way can run cyanogenmod 7 just fine. Along with all other Roms. Weird.

Not to smash your hopes, but I unrooted, s-off and factory stock (rom and recovery) and it didn't help. As I mentioned before, I'm not sure it is necessary ICS related as this started happing earlier this past summer with a paticular MIUI build. Maybe its the way these ICS roms install.

Best ICS ROM?

Opinions on ICS for the DINC anyone?

I use AOKP Build 40. It has the most features but it is slightly unstable.

Any of the CM9 variants, you can use a third party camcorder if you need it. AOKP has a few more features, but they're not as well implemented imo and it's randomly unstable.

My vote goes to Linaro CM9 or the other CM9 by hd.drk (although I had some battery issues with it, my buddy has not). Both are snappy and 99% problem free.
Which (if any) 3rd party camcorder apps are any of you using?
I know it's a phone, not a camera, etc etc etc, but with a toddler running around the house there is almost always chance for video gold and the phone is always nearby.

Running evervolv 2.2.1a3 now and have just switched from MIUI v4.
You cant go wrong with either rom. I will say evervolv is running much smother for me than miui did. Video works better too. But you can beat the theming with miui. Though I hear that is broken on the latest port.

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!

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.

Latest mrom w .8 kernel is by far the best cm7 rom available. Totally functional w amazing battery life. It is all I run.

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...

MROM
Incredicontrol overclocked to 1.3GHz
Zeppelinrox's V6 Supercharger and Kick Ass Kernelizer scripts
Flawless functionality, battery life, and stability.
Theme it however you want.
Good luck with the phone! It's a good one that is overlooked.
-MROM on DInc2

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.
