1. xda isnt the only place people post inc2 work (see rootzwiki/bamf/mik/et all)
2. there is still work being done by a few individuals on both aosp and sense roms
3. yes, we need an ics leak/ota/source to push things much further

What is there you want in an 2.3 rom that isn't already available?

Hey bro also know if you need a tester. Just pm me. I'm getting my 32gb card so I got lots of room for backups

LOL, even though deving has slowed, I still like the phone. Someone tried to offer me a tbolt for my phone and $100. I was like what???!??? HELLLLLL NOOO.

I'd rather have a handful of devs with solid ROMS rather than a bunch of half broken ROMS that are "buttery smooth". Quality > quantity.

I happen to agree, development forums have slowed down a lot. But I also know there isn't much that can be done for us atm so I'm just patiently waiting for an ota leak..

Development?

So what is going on? Any speculation? Development has been stale lately for the Inc2. We do have a great selection of very functional roms, and I appreciate that but not much new in a while. Have developers left or abandoned this device? And yes I know some developers have chosen not to post on xda anymore, but I am still not seeing much. I am not trying to sound ungrateful, this is just a general query.
Miui is still very much alive and kicking. That's good enough for me!
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
Yea Miui is nice. I was just hoping we would see some new Sense based Roms, or possibly some more themes for Sense based roms. I miss the days of the Droid 1 I guess, where there were so many different choices.
There is a new rom in development. The developer had a thread to get beta testers.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Yup, it was JoelZ. I'm one of the testers.
Yea I saw that. Thats good news. Does anyone know if it is Sense or AOSP?
No idea yet.....

I've noticed more Roms popping up on rootzwiki and of course, my favorite, themikmik.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using XDA App
TSM Gingerbang and Skyraider are my two favorites...I was just getting the itch to flash something new. I think I have flashed every rom there is for Inc2. I have a list started for people over at Droidforums: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-incredible-2-roms/176783-roms-list-2-3-roms-htc-droid-incredible-2-wip.html
I don't get good battery on Inc2 HD for some reason, but there are some nice features in their roms. I ran Inc Sensation for a long time. I don't really like some of the things Root said over here at xda. If he wanted people going to his site he could have handled it without the vulgarity, but thats neither hear nor there.
Have you tried liquid? I like newts roms, while I am waiting on a more final build of his I tried liquid and I love it...
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Liquid is nice, but I still like miui.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Could someone send me a link for liquid or any other sweet roms? Not miui because I used that on my Samsung fascinate and it basically bricked it. Thanks.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using XDA App
phones are all different. I switched between sense, AOSP, MIUI and never bricked my device. Samsung device can't compare to HTC. That is just a bad assumption.

honestly relative to the size of the small root community there are tons of options for the end user
aosp alone has miui, cm7, tsm poolparty, liquid, omgb, omfgb...with all still in active development
sense has dozens of roms, from sense 2.1, 3.0, and 3.5 to choose from
i mean what else do you want? 500 new roms a day?
and really to put out new roms it takes awhile...ive personally been screwing around with 2 or 3 side projects in addition to the roms i have out for this phone and the samsung fascinate
people do this for free, and given how many choices are out there, there is plenty to keep you occupied flashing for a long time

Yes you are right. There are a good amount of options. I am also grateful of how well most of the Roms work for the Inc2. I was just kind curious to see if we were kind of low on the list for future development, but I wasn't taking everything into consideration. I guess I just have too much free time on my hand and I need to be more patient.
I also enjoy your and TSMs work, you guys produce some great roms!

i already have CM9 installed on my old I9000
is fun to play around with, but not ready for prime time, because a lot of the Android Market apps that i use on a daily basis are not compatible yet with ICS
so it's going to be a long painful wait before being able to enjoy ICS fully, even if it becomes available for our T989

eehhhhhh... what does that has to do with getting a new hardware?
the current hardware are perfectly fine, just the programmers needs to get their things together and make sure their software are ICS compatible
There's quite a few devices with cm9 alphas already. We wont be waiting to long to see it on our phone.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Even the g2x has a alpha version of cm9 working since Thanksgiving night so I'm sure this phone will have it soon. Also this is my first Samsung smartphone I am hoping Samsung does a little better than LG when it comes to updates and support for their phone. The g2x was a nightmare thank God I had one of the few g2x's that did not have all the bugs.

I thought it was common knowledge that CM9 was being developed. No?
This thread is a fail. What does Nexus S development have anything to do with the GS2 ICS rom? They are entirely different chipsets.

Thanks. Added to my feed for updates.
It would be cool if/when it becomes possible for our phones to multi-boot or at least a savvy developer creates a VMWare-esque app or any other way for any other way for us to use multiple ROMs simultaneously without the need to backup, wipe, flash, repeat for each different ROM we wanna try. For example, this would be useful for us to try out a ROM that's not daily driver-ready without wiping our daily driver. Just a thought...

ROMS, ROMS and more ROMS. . .

I use to post and utilize this forum when I had a Vibrant. I love my SII. In fact, I love it so much that, although I bought it the day it came out, I have waited until now to finally root it.
I'm so out of the loop. Are the ICS roms ready to go as daily drivers or should I wait until T-Mo drops theirs? If it's all G2G, then what are your opinions on what's best?
If you feel that Ginger is better as a daily, which is good to jump into?
Keep in mind that I am not looking for super powers and problems. I just want a good daily driver. I like being able to back **** up and use some of the features available to rooted devices, drop bloat, and theme a bit.
I'll run a log of my experiences and try to find issues, if necessary, so that this thread can appropriately stay in this section. If that still is considered a rule breaker, then I politely ask the MODs to move it to the best section.
Thanks in advance.

Digital warfare 2.5.1 is the most stable and best battery life of any rom here
Not sure if you read the end of my post but if you had, it makes your reply pointless, with all due respect. Thanks though.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Whether you run a log of issues or not, the topic has no bearing on development.
I can tell you from experience that the ICS Perfection is a pretty stable build. I have been running it for a week without much of a hicup. Obviously the gingerbread ROMs are more stable then the ICS ones. I used the CM7 build as a daily driver before ICS and lived it. Since I went to ICS, Eugene has started work on fixing some of the bugs on his version of CM7. Best thing to do is test them out and see what one is your style.

Do you like aosp?

I just got a sgs2.. and well the aosp game is kinda ridiculous on this device... props to the devs who's provided the options they were able to on this device but where are the rest of the roms at?
expect to see some more aosp comin from me here in the next month or so
EDIT
JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS I MEANT NO DISRESPECT AT ALL.. I EVEN CREDITED THE DEVS WGO BROUGHT SOME GREAT ROMS TO THIS DEVICE.. I just want people to know I'm here to bring more to the table.. I'm guessing there is a major hurdle to overcome to bring aosp to this device since I'm not seeing a lot of it.. but I'm up for the task.. and I'll simply let my work speak for itself..
If you have an issue bring it to my attention but please dont harass me for stating that I wanna contribute to this device.. I don't want a bad rep at all and I hope you all will enjoy the work I produce
Only complaint on AOSP roms is that data speeds don't seem to be up to par compared to stock Touchwiz. Hopefully once Samsung releases the latest ICS source things get better since FI03 fixed the slow 4g speeds that haunted previous ICS builds.

Everyones different though, just for me I tried them all (ran AOSP roms for the last 3-4 months), 3g seems a lot better on Twizz especially at work where it's a very low signal area. And 4g is no contest between the two.
So since my post mysteriously vanished... I'll sum it up for those that missed it.
Our devs are working hard to get us official cm status, we have many aosp options to choose from already, we have many more roms coming with all the work chris41g is putting into development for our device.
Sent from my CM7 E4GT using xda premium
I dont release half of my roms because I focus more on one but show me a sprint device with more recent aosp than us besides the flagships that are basically included in aosp to begin with. think sprint will let you exchange your device for one with a community you can respect for a few months til you're ready. Maybe including some aosp options will provide somewhat a better understanding of ur purpose for this thread.

I deleted your post due to it being very rude and flaming another member. It was reported and it was removed. I will continue to do this if I see fit. On another note if you are producing or friends are producing roms then I'd suggest you let you works speak for themselves and not sit here and continue to act the way I have seen in this thread.
With that I will be locking this thread and ask that another like it not be made again

I respect you as a fellow dev. I'm actually using your ROM right now.. I'm a hardcore aosp guy and I was just expecting a device with a lot more options coming from the last two outdated phones I was on..
I was expecting to see some kind of positive feedback to see how interested people were in seeing more aosp not people trippin the EFF out.. I have a feeling that this is gonna be like the og evo threads all over again.. everyone's on such a defensive stand point!

Low support?

Is this phone losing support? It doesn't seem a whole lot of breakthroughs are surfacing anymore. Coming from Evo 4g where stuff was constantly popping up despite HTC dropping support, I would think this phone would have many more options it being way more current. Is it because of tmobile, the phone itself, etc? I'm considering swapping out this for the s3 as I just recently got this phone because it was cheap but I have one more week to decide...

Seems like a good amount of roms in development to me?
Jb seems all very similar to me....a few good choices is plenty. Again....to me.
Yes....devs do move on tho....phone is getting older now...contracts come up and people update to newer devices. Nature of the beast I think.

if you had the option of s3 why'd you choose the 2 year old s2
We went from android 2.3 and now on the latest android, 4.2. We have cm9,cm10, cm10.1, miui, chameleon os, aokp, slim bean, liquid smooth, pacman, paranoid and touchwiz 4.0 and 4.1.2. That seems like most of the ROMs out in development. And we have some great devs still working for this phone.

I already feel we have more than enough of basically the same thing. All jb roms are fairly similar in look and their guts....aside from tw vs aosp.

That's the nature of the beast though. Sure, all the tw roms share similarity, but so do the other forks of android...aokp and cm. The differences are under the hood and not visual.

Actually I think the difference between aokp and cm are visuals. Ie customizations..
We have many choices, but as far as originality it seems most, not ALL, share more or less the same features. Today I just found out the evo 4g just had digital karma Rom updated within the last few months and that phone is ancient. As far as that phone went, sense roms differed GREATLY from one another. Aosp was about the same build no matter who baked it.
I'm not saying there aren't choices, but compared to an almost 5 year old device, this receives less love. But again, the base for jellybean was just recently released so I'll be checking, but it just seems every Rom I've been flashing is about the same.
Unfortunately for me, I'm limited to twiz roms because I need Wi-Fi calling due to poor reception at my house. I understand this is a framework feature, but compared to free alternatives, the tmobile version is hands down best voip option there is it seems.
I didn't rush out to grab this phone, but money at the time was tight and this was all I could afford, I had already gone 3+ months without a phone on Sprint due to the plan being rather pricy age their customer support blows. But in all honesty, this phone isn't too different from its older brother. The pros are so very minimal its really not that big of a difference speed wise. Perhaps more stable, but hardware wise its practically the same

I was sort of thinking it was leveling off until the official JB was released, and then it exploded. I can't keep track of all the new ROMs, kernel, and tweaks that are coming out daily. It's awesome to own this phone still. I love it.
It might just be me then. Used to another norm. Guess inside I just miss my Evo.

Then go bakc to it
JELLYBAM™ 7.4.0
Sprint can suck my stick. Customer support was terrible. Not to mention wimax was even worse in both coverage and data speeds

We have multiple 4.2.2 roms with nightly builds being released. What more do you need?
Pick from either TW or CM base
We dont really need 20 different roms that are the same thing with different theming
Which is all alot of roms are

With this phone it's really simple. Need wifi calling? If no, then go for 4.2.2 any of the popular ones (and we have virtually all of them!!!) are getting into milestones and are imo very stable DD material. Plus lately we've seen some awesome kernels pop up for them.
If you do need wifi calling, then stick with any TW 4.1.2 rom. Now they won't have a whole lot of improvements over stock, because we just got JB and source so give it some time. But soon you will see constant improvements for at least a few months until devs reach the point where there isn't really much to add to the rom...and probably waiting begins for TW 4.2
If you're looking for visual variety then I would suggest alternative launchers, LMT, launcher themes, rom themes, etc. Whether TW, Sense, AOSP, etc there really isn't a limit to how you make your phone feel and look.
