Has anybody run both of these? Which do you find better? I am a huge myn/virus fan so Synergy appeals to me, but I have only heard good things about roms beginning in "Mik". Any feedback is appreciate
I'm gonna flash Mik's this morning, so I'll be back to report on it, but there are a ton of threads where people talk about their experience with the ROM, like Mik's thread in the DEV section,
I was looking for a direct comparison...believe me I've been pouring over both threads. I think I'll go with Mik for right now (I have access to Myn donor site though) & maybe switch over in a few nightlies.
To be fair, we can't really compare until Synergy is finished & released.
Synergy is still in testing so if you want to contribute to the beta, give the nightlies a go & report back.
MikG 2.1+3.0 is pretty much complete, it feels like the update we should've got from Sprint/HTC.

Thanks I'll thank you when I get to a computer. & yeah I'll give a nightly a go in a few weeks. It should have surpassed MikG by that point haha
I've ran both and to be honest I can't choose between to two. They both are great roms,MikG Rom really does feel like the one we should have received ota. But Synergy is pretty cool too even tho it is in beta stage I haven't experienced any bugs at all. Feels like a complete Rom ready for release.

To be honest maybe its just me but I don't notice any difference between the two. Both are fast smooth roms. Only thing different that I notice is Sprint Hotspot is unlocked 3G/4G on Synergy. I'll mess around with this Rom more and edit my post

I've always found mik creates stuff completely on par with myn. Miks new 2.1+3.0 is great I'm using it as my daily. That is untill synergy is done becuase I love myns work. overall neither is going to be better than the other. Only quirk I've noticed with miks is my music sometimes stops for a second then starts again.

I don't have Mik's on yet, but is it true there's no power widgets in the status bar pull down??
I pretty much rely on those throughout the day, switching GPS, WiFi, Data, etc on and off....
And yes, I know I can put widgets on my desktop, but I keep that clean.

all widgets work great.
Lockscreen WORKS AMAZINGLY!!!!!!! i personally use the weather lockscreen.

I am more of a fan of mikg though
Alright so after using miks rom for a few days I've noticed a few things. The rom is very stable, but overall ui has its hiccups every now and then. My main problem with it us the rom has some problems with data connection (for me at least) however after switching to the latest synergy nightly im beginning to find its all around smoother and more responsive. no hiccups so far, and my data seems fine, hell my battery life is even better

I've tried both - so far I'm using MikG 1.02 as my daily driver. With the Synergy ROM, I installed both the 6/6 and 6/7 nightlies, but had a major problem with the market not working so I couldn't download TB and restore my apps...not sure what that was all about...granted they're still beta releases.

Weird, I thought TB was included when I flashed it...
Ok., so Many New ROM's... which make's newbies get confused which is the best.
Best in term's of:
1.stability
2.design
3.compatibility
4.usability
5.user experience
6.support for new updates
7.user friendly
8.no bug's
9.Global mode
10.Battery life.
guy's pls. share your thoughts.... so I/YOU can decide. which is which
Thanks.
If you want sense try This one. It is by far my favorite sense rom as of right now. If you don't want sense OMFGB is the most stable, and fast non-sense rom I have used.
Ok, I'll bite
Best in term's of:
1.stability - Currently running Miui 1.8.19 Very stable. Unity also very stable for me.
2.design - Depends on if you want a Sense based rom or AOSP Rom... Unity for Sense was great. I love Miui for the customization's.
3.compatibility - So far I have been able to use any of the usual apps that I would run with the stock non rooted rom.
4.usability - Miui has been a very usable daily driver for me. MMS works, calls have no issues. Wifi works... Don't use BT so can't say on that.
5.user experience - very good
6.support for new updates - Haven't need to use this yet. But from what I have seen, the support on most of the roms we have available is good.
7.user friendly - I would say that the Sense based roms may be more user friendly to someone that has been using Sense based roms. Miui is pretty simple to get the hang of as well as the other AOSP (Cyanogen and others).
8.no bug's - only bug I have found in Miui, is the soft touch keys don't rotate when going to landscape mode. No biggie as I didn't expect them to.
9.Global mode - Haven't used this yet.
10.Battery life - Battery life has been great with both Unity and Miui. This could be due to the fact of the custom Kernals and being UV'd. Both have easily lasted all day under heavy use. I plug into the charger at night before going to bed, and generally have 40% battery left.
Hope this may help someone out
thanks ...I need more ideas so i can compare ,. keep it coming
I'm running CM7 Nightlies #48
1.stability - extremely stable so far. The only FC I get is when I first boot up ADW EX FC's, but I think it's because I'm impatient
2.design - I love the look of vanilla android. If you don't, or think it's boring, you won't like it. There are boat load of themes, though. And the great thing is all CM7 themes are compatible, regardless of which phone
3.compatibility - I haven't ran into any apps that I can't run
4.usability - very usable. Don't really know how to answer this
5.user experience - excellent, with all the customizable options
6.support for new updates - nightlies, lol
7.user friendly - I would say it is user friendly for anyone who is on XDA. Maybe not your average user, though
8.no bug's - none that I've ran into. Some complain about low volume in calls, but I don't experience that
9.Global mode - haven't tested
10.Battery life - excellent. I can easily get through a day
Edit: I should add that I haven't had a stock rom in god knows how long. So I am very used to little quirks here and there and don't even notice them anymore. Others may

I ran OMFGB for a while, it performed well. I really like it because it is slimmed down AOSP but still has some nice features. Didn't seem to have much bugs, but nightlies can always produce bugs for people. OMGB 1.2 is the stable version of it.
Running Miui now because I wanted something different. Its performing well but it doesnt seem as quick OCd at 1.3 as OMFGB was OCd at 1.3 for me. The theme manager and customization in Miui though are awesome. Battery seems good so far.

Only bug I have ran into is that it wont install certain skins. Not really a big deal but could be a breaker for some people. I tried honeybread, glasssense, and one other cant remember and none of them worked. Carbon fiber one does though.
I VERY highly suggest ANY ROM posted by "newtoroot" he has four great and different ROMs. They each have a few bugs, it just depends on your taste as to if the things bother you. Some people can use it as a daily others can't.
ihftp69, release a preview ROM of his SkyRaider Zeus, and is, afaik completely bug free 2.1 Sense ROM experience with sense 3.0 components.
MIUI has been my daily driver for about 2 weeks now. Everything works (MMS, BT, Wifi, etc) and the themes are awesome. Very consistent with updates and has a great dev team. Haven't seen any FCs from the system apps. Also, battery life is great.

Have to echo this remark. Going on a week with MIUI and have had no issues outside of it resetting yesterday while playing around with the music player it came with. Battery is on par with stock, but having a pretty UI means I play with the phone a lot more .

I really like the OMFGB roms, very stable, everything works and its fast. I also like the MIUI rom. I really love that fact that I can use the torch from the home lock screen by pressing the home key! MIUI also has a great dev community as well. It's really a personal preference, but as far as performance, I like those two the best.
Here is another vote for MIUI. Great stable ROM.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
If you want some sense 3.0 features, the SkyRaider Zeus beat them all in stability and functionality, haven't found any bugs yet. Virtuous Unity came in close 2nd if you can live with the compass being backward, it lag a bit during first startup, overall it doesn't feel as smooth as Zeus even at 1.3Ghz. Gingerbang 1.5 is my number 1 choice if I want something close to stock, very snappy even at stock speed and it gave me the best battery life even after i overclocked to 1.2Ghz.
I switch between GingerSense and MIUI with great results from both. Exchange nuances keep me coming back to Sense-based ROMs, but MIUI in terms of customization taunts me constantly.
Stability has been great on both as well as compatibility.
My Epic comes to me 2moro. Just checking to see if you have any input on which ROMS are running the best, known device bugs, or general tips....
CHIME IN!
i highly suggest Viper Rom 2.1...
but your gonna have to do some research buddy...
I've been on starburst 1.8 rom, been running well. Only changes I've made have been going to the stable lost kernel 1.0.2.2, and adding nothin but the honey theme. All's good in the hood, slight bug with experimental kernel and GPS navigation, but easily fixed

viper has a few new features that the other roms dont have as of yet.
Viper and Starburst are stock roms that have been optimized and things like that.
Like I said viper has alot of new things (oc script, battery calibrating script, etc) but because its relatively new some of the mods arent working yet. Some of the themes arent compatible either.
Starburst is supported the most, so most of the mods and themes are based off of it.
My personal preference is Viper, when I was using starburst I was getting a ton of random reboots, where I get none with Viper. (have not tried the last starburst update)
Starburst does have all the mods already cooked in to it. Viper is quickly catching up though.
Both have great devs who try to respond to every issue and request. I think you should give them both a go
Stock rooted deodexed rom with LoSt kernel!
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I would suggest using Stardust rom
Sent from my Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch
Starburst 1.8 stable is really good no random reboots
Lockscreen mod is awesome. Haven't tried viper yet.
I use the new aosp rom with the ICS theme that supposrts it. Works really well. Also I had starburst 1.8 and I think I liked that a lot better, probably because its more stock. I think the major roms on this phone; viper, starburst, aosp, and aemod roms all work very well.
I would suggest keeping it stock for a week just to make sure you're not getting goofy problems first. Then start having fun with roms.
That's more like it!
So far I ran Midnight, starB, and Viper. StarB seems to give the most for what I look for. I know on the EPIC, viper was pretty killer through EB13 so I will keep my eye on Viper for the Epic T. I was suprised by midnight...not what it use to be.
What is the best combo
Did you have any issues with FC's on either Starburst or Midnight ROM? I'd like to figure out the best combination of Kernel, CWM and ROM. There is a lot out there and would like to find a good combination.
On the "Sprint" Epic 4g Touch.

I'm curious as to what are your favorite ROMs for the Dinc2. I have flashed many and found some good GB ROMs, and (mostly) stable ICS based ROMs. Jellybean looks nice, just not stable enough for me yet. I have a short list of favs (in no particular order):
andyBONESTOCK ( ya its a stock rom but i still like it at times)
SkyRaider Zeus 3.1
CM7.2
CM9
UKB ll
Might seem like fairly bland list but i like stability. I have tried many others but I always seem to keep coming back to one of the 5 listed above. There are a lot of great ROMs for our Dinc2 and i was just curious, what are your favorites?

I ran paranoid android for the longest time. I recently got into miui and I love that one as well
Current: Kangdemnation v0.5 - great battery life and stable
MIUI 12.9
SRZ
Currently on MIUI v4 CDMA, and love it.
I guess you could say MIUI in general, because I ran GB MIUI until January due to the amazing customization and theming abilities.
Some of my other favorites...
GBS Sense 5 with Sense 3 patch - Everything worked and you got some of the nicer features of Sense 3
UKB - Love the work Nits is doing with Sense 4, and excited to try Viper when it releases
Aero's CM10 - This is actually quite stable and very fast/smooth. There were, of course, bugs that kept me from staying with it long term.
I usually look for stability (no hot-boots or FCs), good battery life, decent speed/fluid animations, high-end features/customization. So the absence of features like 720p recording on ICS or JB wasn't a problem. I switched from CM10 because I wanted to use Skype with the ffc, but I really loved the smoothness and JB features in that one.
Currently running AE's CM10 and I love it. Beyond that, his CM9 is good and UKB is the only Sense Rom that I actually enjoy using.

It sounds interesting that's for sure. But I'm on my last day or two of using the Inc2. Once I get my GNex activated, the Inc2 will become my WiFi home phone. For that, I'll likely go back to CM7, as it seems to play the nicest with WiFi settings and GrooveIP.
Arctic Ascension v2.02 has been the most stable ROM I've tried on the Dinc2. Everything works on it including cameras, camcorder, mms, rotating softkeys, etc. It'll even automatically switch to 3G mode when sending a MMS message (only ROM i know if that does that BTW). The only problems I've heard (but never actually experienced) has been it running slowly in some installations but running the DeSensed version will take care of that.

That's odd, for me the WiFi was why I left cm7. My girlfriend was out of state for a couple months a while back so we would chat through gtalk throughout the day, every day. When I flashed cm7 everything seemed awesome, but then I noticed that my WIFI would lose connection with gtalk many times a day. I had to check gtalk constantly all day long to see if I had lost connection with it or not, and had missed many messages throughout the day (a couple hours old at times and man would she get pissed). I dont know if its cm7s WIFI management or what it was but i got tired of it. So I started using andbonestock and good ole gb, with the 'best WIFI performance' setting on and never lost a WIFI connection with gtalk after that. It could also have something to do with my WIFI in my house though, as most the time the performance of it pretty much blows.
i like "TSM UKB II 1.3.1 (sense4 ics)" best overall so far.

Weird. I've never had that issue. My router is in my bedroom, so I've always had a great signal. I would go back to SkyRaider or AndyBoneStock, but I really just don't like GB Sense on this phone. Not sure why, I just prefer AOSP.
For the longest time I have been running my custom vivo sense 3 port (gb of course) because of stability until I recently tried the latest miui (cdma version) built from tazz's sense ics build.
It was very stable and everything worked. Since yesterday I've been running stunner's global cm9 build and I must say it is very stable so far. 720 recording works and all. The only issue with that one is an upside down ffc. For now that is my daily driver.
So my upgrade is coming up on November 1st, and I will be looking into getting a new phone in the near future, and I am finally done waiting for this ICS update that isn't coming from HTC. I was wondering if there are any fully functioning roms for the Incredible 2, or if anyone can tell me the one that is closest to fully working. Of course looking for something ICS or above and appreciate any suggestions on where I should begin...

I have not tried Psycho's CM9 Global yet, but I hear it is pretty much fully functional except for the FFC is upside down or something...I have tried their CM10 Global and it is a smooth running rom, just a couple of little bugs they are working out. Mimicry CM9 based rom is almost fully functional...only thing not working that I know for sure is the FFC. Those are the only roms I have tried recently. I have also read that the Viper Sense rom is pretty good too, but it is Sense 4. I prefer the Paranoid Android, but there are some camera issues with it and a couple of other small bugs that don't affect me that much so I never notice them. Other than that I am out of suggestions, I have not tried UKB, MIUI, or any of the other roms that I hear are great roms.

I started with aeroevan's CM9 ROM and it was terribly slow and pretty buggy. I had to reboot it at least once a day. I'm now running Psycho's CM10 Global and it's actually been really great, aside from the nonfunctional FFC, graphic tearing with Chrome, and unstable Bluetooth. Also, the CM10 Global ROM has an issue where after locking the phone it will take 1-2 seconds before allowing you to unlock again.

Sorry, this is the only thread I ever check, so I didn't even think about it. Is there a way for me to move it? If not I guess I can just delete it...
IC Tazz has been flawless for me. I tried CM9 and CM10 for a few weeks, they work pretty good but are not 100%.
I'm using the new viper Rom. In the past I've always preferred sense tho. Viper is nice. But I prefer my own non sense widgets. So my phone basically looks the same as it did when running cm10. So I'm not sure what the point of staying on viper. Must say battery life is impressive, especially for a sense Rom. Battery life was one reason why I hated sense. But then my phone doesn't really look like sense anyways since I'm using all the same widgets as I did w aosp. *confused*

Haha, I can understand that. I've only been around this one for the past few months. Seriously, thanks for the reminder. I won't forget next time haha
for an ics rom, i gotta say viper sense is the most bug-free. both the ffc camera and rear cameras work fine, and you can shoot fine in 720p HD recording, a problem with many other roms.
this was one of the main problems i had with most CM's and aosp roms was that the stock camera sucked. it didnt even compare to the sense camera and pictures looked they were taken with a basic phone. the viper sense camera was great, maybe even better than stock.
as for bugs, i think the only thing was that taking a picture while recording didnt work, i dont think its supposed to though cuz the inc2 isnt designed for it? also for some reason after a reboot it changed from cdma to gsm, and i think the only way to change that it running the aroma installer again.
I'm no expert or developer but there is quite a few Roms that I have found a pretty stable that could be used as a daily driver with no problem. If you're not rooted I recommend trying it and giving some Roms a test run and seeing what you like before ditching your inc2 its a whole new experience.

Fully functional eh? Both dkstunna and Aerovans cm9 & 10 both run nicely. Just have to make some changes depending on your carrier but youll find the solutions by reading the threads. But don't forget most roms are like that woman in the red light district. She's pretty and fun and can do a lot but there is also something under that skirt that is fully functional.

It's been a pretty solid experience for a few months now.
Condemned Sense's Stock Build Odexed.
Depends on your definition of "fully-functional." For me that means everything that the stock ROM has including FFC, rotating softkeys, 720P camcorder, wifi-tethering, etc. Most of the ROMS listed (excluding stock ROMS) so far have issues with at least one of these things. I don't consider a mentality of "living with minor bugs" consistent with "fully-functional."
Personally my list would include:
- any of the the "standard" Sense 2.1 Gingerbread ROMs like GingerSense, SkyRaider Zeus, etc. (they all use the official 2.65 kernel specifically built for GB)
- Arctic Ascension 2.02 (aka IC Tazz 3.6) - Sense 3.6 using the leaked Chinese v3.x OTA kernel - everything including the stuff I mentioned works on it. It even includes features not even the stock ROM has such as automatic 3G switching when sending and receiving MMS messages.
Try CM 7.2, it was the first rom i flashed. the battery life is extraordinary and it runs fast like hell! only problem is its a bit old fashioned.
I'm currently running ViperSense 1.1, but its just slightly slow because its using a stock kernel
Thanks everyone for taking the time to give me this information. I have been busy but plan to look into these very soon! Much appreciation!
Miui 1.12.9 with Aerovan's 0.7 CFS kernel.
