noob question sorry....
What is the best (stable, fast, smooth) ICS rom for the EVO?
Try out the AOKP Milestone 4 rom. SUPER stable!
Miui 2.4.6
Totally a solid daily driver
Gummy worms by pspplayground is a bit stable
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
The latest aokp I think build 27 or 28 right on top of the milestone 4 the latest working link its stable and most everything works. I just don't remember the build number cuz I just went to build 30 with android 4.0.4 on my et4g and it has EVERYTHING working except 4g and no lag or FC and I can live wwithout 4g cuz I don't have it anyways

AOKP is a great rom!
It is a great daily driver as is, but what the killer for me was that some apps don't run properly. I could live without a few but Temple Run and Instagram were two that didn't work for me with this rom. That was a deal breaker for me.
If those apps don't interest you than this rom is great!
Good Luck!

yeah I have not ran into any problem apps....yet.... So far this is running great!! only problem is the camera it is not working is there a flashable fix or is there nothing that can be done besides get a new rom?
Yeah AOKP is nice and smooth, the camera preview isn't working as it should, but very stable overall. And if you want to get into kernels, I recommend checking you the mason .14 kernel. it's a Work In Progress but it has been very stable for me, and you gotta love sbc.

The camera takes pictures but it will not let me see what i am taking a picture of.....HELP!..... I tried build 30 also but all it got me was into a bootloop.
This morning while on build 31 I tried to flash Mason-G-v0.14-sbc-fso and I got into a boot loop. Not sure whats wrong?
Thanks for the suggestions I am sticking with AOKP for now

Mason G is for gb and non hardware accelerated roms. As of build 30 AOKP has full hardware acceleration
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
I agree with most on here that AOKP build 31 is pretty stable. I'm running .14 mason sbc fso hwa kernel as well, fairly smooth.
I do have a side question though. Has anyone tried the above settings with a specific governor and found it to work very well?
I have tried savagedzen, on demand, and lionheart........but I always seem to revert back to smartass V2. Still looking for that perfect tweaks on all levels but cant seem to find it. I also applied all COD tweaks.

Build 31 fixes that. In addition, to AOKP being so 'great' it plays nice, but for a lot of users, myself included, it gave a lot of random reboots for no reason, so just be warned / watch your phone to see if you get reboots.

What is the best (stable, fast, smooth) ICS rom for the EVO?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I keep going back and forth between decks ics pb18 (most current) and aokp build 31
Decks seems to be very smooth, running tiamat sbc "lee" kernel. Problem with decks is it less feature-packed then aokp.
Aokp is also very smooth with a ton of great features, but even running mason sbc hwa fso kernel, its seems to be just a little bit slower than decks.
I'm going to try flashing the tiamat "lee" kernel on aokp b31 and see what response I get out of it.
If you are looking for features and stability: aokp, speed and stability: decks
UPDATE: flashed tiamat "LEE" kernel with aokp build 31 last night and although it works OK, there is some lag and some delay when opening apps, app drawer, etc. I will go back to Mason sbc hwa fso for this ROM. Tiamat seems best on decks pb18 which I also run.
I think speed will come with time on AOKP. Can someone expand on the COD tweaks (what they do, how to, goods and bads)

Thanks for the suggestion but it did not work I opened it up and it showed the controls at the bottom like normal but (not sure how to describe this) I could not see what the camera was seeing it just showed black. I took a picture and it showed down in the preview what should have been displayed on the screen.
Hope you guys can understand that

Seems like a very nice and smooth rom. Launcher pro is supper smooth with the rom. Going to try kings aosp kernel. Stock kernel only allows over clock to 1.15, no 1.13 option, which is not stable for me.

It's apparently based off of CM6's source, then tweaked. I was going to post on here about it earlier today, but didn't have time.
I'm wondering if anyone can drop a compare/contrast of the different AOSP builds available for the DInc now.
I'm guessing here, but Ruby is as stock as you can get (until they change that), CM6 has some tweaks, UD has more tweaks and is built off CM6, and ShadowROM is built off CM6 and has tweaks.
Almost makes me wonder if someone should come along and pull them *all* together into some massive super-AOSP ROM... which from what ShadowROM's description reads, that's what they're trying to do.
I am trying this one right now...and looking that it has koush kernel, I suspect it also has the reboot/shut down issue... I really hope not. Personally, I don't care if they all pull together, or individually...but the reboot/shut down issue has been my biggest culprit on CM...and I depend on my phone. Ruby has been awesome...so if this one doesn't work out, I have something to fall back to.

Same here. I have to give up on AOSP roms for a while if I don't want to miss any calls while the phone reboots itself or goes into la la land. At least Redemption is very stable for me and good on the battery.
I can't wait to try this rom out. Does anyone know if it has the stock froyo launcher? Also mflops and radio would be nice.

TY Grikshanks for saving me on that one. AOSP vs. Sense-based ROMs and related discussion are starting to bug me. Especially when talking about AOSP kernels vs. Sense...
However, now that it's been mentioned, I did forget about IncredibleDoes' AOSP based ROMs. So thus far AOSP ROMs for the DInc are: ID's, CM's, UD/BD's, Ruby, and ShadowROM. I hope I'm not missing anything else... and UD/BD, CM, and Shadow are all based off each other. Ruby and ID are unique. Though I know all the devs talk to each other, I don't know the details on what is mutual or exclusive between them (ie if kernels are interchangeable).

Weird, I've been on 6.0.2, stock kernel with SetCPU settings as:
Screen off = 384/245 interactive priority 90
Temp > 40C = 768/128 conservative priority 85
Charging/full = 998/128 interactive priority 80
Batt < 25% = 691/128 conservative priority 50
And been doing fine throughout the day. No reboots on calls... only thing is that playing Parallel Kingdom sucks battery down pretty fast. Also makes the phone rather warm. But I've been on CM6 pretty much since it came out stable, skipped .01 and went straight to .02. Haven't tried Adrynalyne or KK's kernels yet.

From what I can tell looking at source code, it doesn't seem to be forked from anything. I'm guessing they pulled Launcher2 and modified the source as they see fit, so it's roughly based off stock froyo launcher. But I'm still learning how to play with source/github/etc.
I don't *think* any ROMs modify the radio. Are you asking what radio is required to use it? Personally I just use the newest leaked one, haven't had problems yet. And mflops should be similar to CM6's, as they share the stock kernel (and codebase).
Don't really know why people are so obsessive about benchmarks. Give it a try, if you don't like it because it's laggy or whatever, nandroid back. *shrug*

UD/CM/Shadowrom arent just "based off each other". Looking outside the scope of the incredible, Cyanogenmod is king of AOSP considering its support of multiple devices. Crystal Clear is starting to make its way out being that the incredible is their second device. most everyone knows the deal with UD, but i dont know a thing about shadowrom. in that respect, pretty much all of these roms are based off of CM, because all of these devs, including BlackDroid, consult with the CM team to create their roms, and some use parts of it. With that in mind, youll see that just about all of these roms use Koush's kernles from CM. Most AOSP built roms for a single device can swap kernels for the most part, since most of them dont really differentiate much in the OS anyways. The only real differences between these roms is mostly the optional built-in customizations they add in settings and the launchers they use out of the box, as well as whatever theme they add in sometimes if any. CM sets a good bar with full status/notification customizing from the settings menu, along with the performance, input, sound, display settings etc. Ruby sort of followed suit but swapped status bar customizing for other miscellaneous tweaks. BD just compiled a crap load of tweaks made by other people and combined them into his rom, yet it still lacks the status bar tweaking. Shadowrom seems to have fully incorporated it along with some of his own additions, but those didnt seem to work on my phone when trying them out. couldnt even see what was in the Misc. settings cus it FC'ed on me.
for the launcher used in shadowrom, yes it is the launcher from the Nexus. it looks like he smoothed it out quite a bit though.
the only roms that will upgrade your radio are those that come leaked from HTC themselves. No rom should "modify" your radio. if anyone has tried so and youre thinking about flashing it, dont.
FYI:

UD: Yes
Shadowrom: Yes
Ruby: No
Cm6 has some stuff in it forked from Ruby. I wouldn't say Cm6 is based off of Ruby because of that. Would you?
Ruby is its own project.
cm did not invent aosp, and have their own source tree.
Ruby does not use that tree.
1st big issue I see - it doesn't scan the built in memory for images or music. Not sure how the "three testers" they were using missed this one.
Been running this for 2 days now. I flashed Kings AOSP kernal over the one that came with this rom. Runs very smooth and stable. Only one small issues... couldnt update to newest version of google street view (newest version of google maps comes installed with this rom), and camcorder does not do 720p. Camera is 8mp though. Great stable rom. Quadrant scored in the 1400 range with no overclocking on king kernal. High 1500 range @ 1.15 ghz.

For those people having trouble with their 8gb internal memory being recognized, a great music player that someone else on this forum recommended called mortplayer recognizes all of my media that is on my internal memory and plays all my music without a flaw. Mortplayer is works great on ruby, CM6, and shadowrom, those being the only AOSP roms that I've tried so far! Just throwing it out there for anyone with media on the internal memory
I have been using Cyanogen since CM6 and I have gotten to a point where I absolutely hate it. My GPS is hit or miss (usually miss), and 90% of the time I get a call I end up missing it due to my screen not waking up. I wont even get started on the FC's
So I am on the hunt for another good rom, there is only a few things I'm looking for in a rom other than what stated above to be working. GB of course, not a fan of sense roms, and it has to look clean. I am admittedly very picky about how my ui looks, currently I am using the Matted blues theme, with ADW EX and I exclusively use the hidden panel with a wood dock look to it, and I use the Faenza icon theme.
Im open to any and all suggestions, even if it is a sense rom, just help with a link to a SBC kernel along with it, because I know nothing of sense kernels. And I'm even open to MIUI if its finally stable.
If you wana stay on AOSP, you could try decks rom [a cleaned up version of CM7], salvage mod [bare bone AOSP], or MIUI...AOSP with a twist. If you want a sense rom, I'd go with the synergy-kingdom sense 3.0 rom.
As for kernels, for AOSP, I strongly recommend the Tiamat kernel, along with the vipermod. PM if you need anything else.

I have given serious consideration to decks rom, but is it a steady rom or is it just a fly by night build?
I tried synergy kingdom, I was fairly impressed once I installed ADW. Sense 3.0 for me was like playing a PSX game, everytime I turned a corner there was a loading screen, lol. But I was unable to get it to look the way I like, I want as little white on the screen as possible, aside from text.
SavagedZen Mod was horrible for me, and It hasn't been updated from RC4 in months.
As far a MIUI goes I'm trying it again, even though on the front page of the site there is yet another thing broken with it.
I have also tried Vealpak's new AOSP GB ROM, it was ok. anybody have any experience themeing it?

Deck's is fairly stab;e, so you shouldn't have any problems out of it. And well the sense 3.0 roms are monster, so it can 'sorta' be expected. if you wanted to try that, you could try the supercharger script to free up some memory. I stopped using savagedzen kernels months ago once they only went to sbc, went to Tiamat...never looking back. As for MIUI > http://romsmaster.miui.us/ Just scroll down to the evo, and you can get the latest rom. I haven'y used it, though to theme is fairly basic: you can download a theme, and flash it via theme manager, or flash it old school in recovery. You can download icon packs as well if you wanted to use them.

He also mentioned trying to escape CM6, not CM7 so his problems may be solved already.
Get bootloader and try every ROM listed so far in this thread is my advice. I just added Decks 1.3d to slot 4 out of respect for the above Italian.

And how is the boot manager app? I hear a lot of people half problems, but just as many say its workign well...about 50/50 and you didn't have to load up deck's rom on my behalf. .

once you get into the settings and launcher options of MIUI, you will quickly realize it is NOT ios4. just download and change the theme, load a different launcher, and you will be very happy minus 4G.

Hi all,
I have been really upset with the choppy scrolling performance on our phone. It is a bug Supercurio found immediately upon using our phone and one sadly no dev has fully fixed yet.
Well, good news. I've been testing a ton of different ROMs and kernels and I have found that the Skyrocket kernels are PERFECTLY smooth in scrolling. Why? I do not know.
I tested Da_G's CM7 kernel with my T-mobile SGS2 and it worked. Now, not only did it work but it works perfectly. Everything works including data (4G), calls, etc. There is only 1 bug and that is because it is a Skyrocket kernel---Automatic orientation (if you turn it on) is exactly 90 degrees off. Easy fix though I think.
Other tested ROMS and Kernels:
Kernels:
Bullet (all versions)---very choppy but amazing on battery
Synergy (all versions)---very choppy but also really good on battery
Faux123's kernels---Newest version of Faux's kernel incorporates Skyrocket drivers and FIXES the 2D choppiness. Currently it is the only T989 kernel to be fully smooth
Mr.X CM7's kernel---choppy but amazing battery and 2D Quadrant scores (I got 760s with it)
Da_G's Skyrocket CM7 kernel---BUTTER smooth, everything except Auto-rotation works despite being a Skyrocket kernel
ROMS:
Stock 2.3.5---VERY choppy
Stock 2.3.6---Slightly less choppy but still pretty choppy
Juggernaut 4.0, 3.7, 3.5---ALL pretty choppy, 4.0 is likely the best since its based on 2.3.6
Beastmod 4.0, 4.2---ALL pretty choppy
Domination 2.0---EXTREMELY choppy...I don't know why even since it's 2.3.6 but my testing proved it was one of the worst in scrolling choppiness
CM7 by slayher (for T-Mo SGS2)--Butter at times and choppy at others.
CM7 for Skyrocket (Alpha 4)---Choppy if T989 kernel is used, BUTTER if Skyrocket kernel (Da_G's kernel) is used.
I believe ROMS have little effect on the choppiness. They do contribute a tiny amount but I do believe the kernels are what dictate whether scrolling is smooth or not.
Moral of the story, T-mo SGS2 Kernel devs, please either build from the source for Skyrocket or see what that kernel has that is different from ours because it is MUCH MUCH SMOOTHER than any of our kernels.
Cause us skyrockets users are raw haha but ill try and see how to fix your guys rotation problem. Busy trying to build a new cm7 miui and AOSP with members for the skyrocket

If you could port Da_G's kernel by incorporating a 90-degree Auto-rotation fix, it would be bomb. Everything else works and it is sooo smooth.
Would you mind linking to the exact kernel you used? I never use auto-rotate & I'm dying to get rid of this choppiness.
Certainly. Make sure you are running CM7 though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398512
Use the AT&T CM7 v4 version. Get into Clockwork, flash, and reboot. It doesn't have a boot logo, don't be alarmed.
I certainly am Which version did you use though, AT&T or Rogers?
AT&T like I said in my post above.
Ah... derp, I'm special. Thanks.

Hello fellow Colorado-an!
Just to clarify- the moral of your post is: using the Skyrocket's CM7 ROM & Da_G's Skyrocket kernel on the T989 you have 0 choppiness?
I'm just unsure of which ROM you're using (ours or Skyrocket's)
Thanks.
Correct. Use the Skyrocket CM7 or ours (doesn't matter but ours has more bugs. The Skyrocket CM7 with that kernel has NO bugs if you keep the GPS on).

Yep, true, somehow, GPS on our kernel keeps audio working and no bugs, dunno how, but don't ask me.
Also, the orientation thing is because our accelerometer is flipped upside down, that's why it flipped differently for you.
I'll ask Da_G if he can revert the fix he did in the kernel, then upload a version for you guys, since our kernels seem to work better for you.
Also, if someone doesn't mind, flash a T-Mo ROM, then a Skyrocket kernel (don't worry, I've flashed T-Mo SGS II kernels before, only thing that breaks is the rotation), and see if that fixes any 2D lag you have.
Wait- we can flash the skyrocket version of cm7? Like without modifying it of anything?
Hmm glad this ROM & kernel combo is working for you!
I myself have used several of the roms and kernels you mentioned also and have found that the stock rooted Telus T989D ROM by Mr X + the synergy kernel are not only the fastest imo, but I get 0 choppiness and almost 2 days of battery life on normal to heavy usage.

Ok sorry for my noobishness, I had no idea..don't really use cm7. I just flashed dagkernal .42 on gingersnap 0.3. Its amazingly smooth but I had to turn off auto rotation because its working backwards. Which is a kernel with good battery life and is smooth on skyrocket?

I think all the Skyrocket kernels are going to result in rotation issues. I flashed a Skyrocket rom and one of our kernels and it works fine.
I called in sick for work today this shows up.. should have a fun day lol

Just tried the dag 4.2 rogers kernel with juggernaut 4.1 and I can really notice a difference.. not that benchmark's matter, but I'm got 7154 on AnTuTu on the first try clocked at 1.78 and getting 4600+ on quadrant at the same clock lol
Let's see how the battery is on this tho. Jug 3.7 + bullet 2.9 was giving me amazinggg battery life but last night i went to sleep with it being 45% and woke up with 5% lol maybe the governor changed to performance or something idk
EDIT - After around 20 mins of use, I can confidently say that my phone is now BUUTTTEEERYYYY smooth I used to get lag/stutter during screen transitions and everything, now I'm using the Sphere effect on Go Launcher (one of the ones that usually cause the most stutter) and it couldn't be any more buttery smooth lol
Thanks for finding this The only issue is the auto-rotation but once that's fixed, this will be amazing lol
OK I know its my personal preference to choose between roms, but i also want to know yours. I like arhd cause other stability and stock feel, but aokp is also great since I get much more control of my phone, with that said sometimes , this 'control' can lead to stability issues with the rom. So what do you think is bettr overall?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
ARHD is more stable, AOKP has 4.0.3 and more mods. Just try it.
Im on ARHD btw
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
AOKP because it is 4.0.3 and has more choices for kernels such as Franco.
AOKP is more stable than ARHD imo. Stick to milestones if you're worried about stability.
I switched to AOKP after being on ARHD.
AOKP has more customization, less boot time and more battery!
The only instances of instability I had on this device came when using ARHD. Currently using AOKP and it absolutely flies with Franco's kernel. 4.0.3 is a massive leap over 4.0.2, it's like moving from a beta build to final. Having in built mods is one of the benefits of choosing a ROM built from source, and not just based on the stock images.
Regards.
AOKP here also, fast and stable...never had a reboot, blazing fast with franco's kernel overclocked @1350mhz.

i'm happy with ARHD 2.1.3 (4.0.2)
is there a changelog for 4.0.3, what incentives are there to upgrade, my phone is stable and fast as it is.
LE: found something: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.3.html
but they seem more API improvements rather than actual bug fixes or new (visible/usable) features
also here
http://dkgadget.com/upcoming-androi...on-new-camera-capabilities-and-tons-of-fixes/
"....tons of fixes" -> like what for example?
Both are great ROMs, and I've used both. I'm going with AOKP for now, because you get:
4.0.3
toggles in notification bar
4 way lock screen
raised the default auto brightness default (fixable on ARHD)
Hold back button to kill app (die facebook, die)
Power menu add-ons
No stability issues for me (build 17)
Yesterday I had 1 day and 1.5 hours, with about 2.5 hours screen time on auto brightness
AOKP just saves me a lot of trouble with its built in tweaks, so I don't have to go hunt them down myself.
One con: the unicorn boot animation... Easily fixable though, there are a bunch of boot animation choices in the themes section.

The overall smoothness and performance of apps, especially the browser, is much improved. When I was using ARHD, I was slightly disappointed with this device coming from a SGS2 and could understand the threads and posts about lag etc.
I challenge you to try a 4.0.3 ROM and come back and tell me it isn't a much faster/smoother experience.
Here is an example of the improved browser performance on The Verge website, which was famously shown to lag heavily on many video reviews (4.0.2).

I don't see how ARHD is more stable. I never had a single reboot with AOKP build 19.
judging from what you guys have said aokp looks like the winner here, and yes I've got to say browser is much improved from stock 4.0.2. Then again I need to try out arhd. But I will most likely use cm9 when it releases it final. Has anyone used the alpha builds? How are they on battery life?

I thought ARHD might be more stable but to my surprise and delight I've had an even better experience with AOKP.
It's hard to beat anything AOSP based, especially with so many mods and tweaks. Usually you sacrifice stability with ROMs like this but not in this case. It's amazingly well polished and I have no complaints at all. Blown away with AOKP.

My thoughts exactly - I was hesitant at first to move away from ARHD because stability is important for me. I've been running AOKP this past week (milestone 2) and just loaded on the franco kernel the other day and my phone has been MORE stable. On ARHD I did have the occasional hiccup/stutter/lag and an odd issue where my touchscreen failed me - fixed only with a battery pull.
Since AOKP + franco - no issues with an overall smoother experience. Battery life has been comparable to ARHD + faux123 v10 mainline kerrnel - well over a full day's use without even thinking about reaching for my charger
Haven't even tried arhd, but I use AOKP, I like it. 4.0.3 or bust

What he said.
are you all using the stock kernel that came with AOKP or Franco?
If franco, what are your governor settings, UV settings, etc?
with AOKP do you mean
[ROM][AOSP 4.0.3] Android Open Kang Project - maguro build 20
??
Yes either the latest build or the milestone 2. The builds are nightlys and are updated more frequently with the newest features but they may be more buggy. That said many people on the forums seem to run them without much issue. The milestone releases are meant to be bugfree and complete as described in the AOKP thread.
I'm using the default Franco settings - I don't think I know better than he does when it comes to optimizing a kernel and I have no complaints with regards to performance or battery life..
Ive been using AOKP and Franco since i got my Nexus last week, and its worked beautifully. This morning i switched to LeanKernel in order to see if it would improve battery life. Will report back on my findings.
Sorry I'm new from the Nexus S, but is AOKP similar to CM? I pretty much always used CM derivatives.
What is the best ROM and kernel for galaxy wonder ? Stable, Good for everyday use ?

Well the additions with V6 is nice but I don't think its really needed since when running CM9 its smoother and faster than when it was on GB also games don't lag much either.

There is no stock ICS rom. You have to install CWM recovery with ODIN and then install the ICS rom you want with that recovery

Actually I found it even if is still in Alpha its stable and smoother than the GB custom ROMs and alot of the problems in the past like poor battery life isn't there in its current build.
From my view, stable is when i could hand over my phone to someone who is not experienced with phones and tech in general, so i would have a good feeling.
Thats not the case with CM9 atm - White Screen Bug, Bluetooth partially working, Camera sometimes crashes, battery life - all problems that may be irrelevant to experienced users, but we should keep a neutral definition to the word "stable".
Currently it is Alpha, and i guess that is what a manufacturer would also call it, if it would be an official ROM.
Besides this terminology, arco has really done great work with CM9, and he is pushing development further with good common sense i think.

Yea, I also agreed that CM9 is a good job, but since he/she mentioned newbie in the title so I think GB may be a less problematic choice at this moment, myself wish to use CM9 too, but I don't really have time for switching and updating ROM frequently
Personally i use MUTANT ROM, good battery life, rather smooth and stable. If you prefer a GB ROM, i would recommend this.
BTW, how is the ICS ROM going? Is the battery life still unstable? The last time i use ParanoidAndroid, the battery was like... 30% drop in 5hours of standby... GOSH...

Black Notes Last Page, it's working well but just:
i) After executing the SuperCharger V6 script, I may not receive the incoming messages, but I guess I may have to play with the setting a bit, anyway I seldom run that script, so it don't really affect me a lot
ii) If I open too much pages in the Opera Mobile, it may freeze for a few minutes, but I think it may be the Opera Mobile's problem
iii)In a few buttons(such as Save & Cancel button for the alarm clock setting), both the background & word are dark in colour, so it is not really well visible
And I had answered ansyori28, sgaheer, bladez87 and your question yesterday, really sorry for replying so late, for you question, I think it should be okay if it didn't force close after you fixed(changed) the permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot
How about Mutant ROM, any issues inside it?
