Any major bugs? Roman hinted that a milestone is coming up, should I wait for it?
I'm still on M4 lol.
B31 was a bug fix release from B30. I don't know of any major bugs particular to the rom that persist right now.
The AOKP changelogs are pretty easy to parse what's new as far as features are concerned. Read through them since M4 and see if anything strikes your fancy. 4.0.4 brings it own share of fixes and improvements, but I think most of them fall under the phones being amorphously smoother. A few major bugs resolved, but unless they're already on your wish list probably not a huge deal.
Also, if your phone is GSM, apparently there are signal loss issues in 4.0.4 in general, that I do not think any custom roms have a fix for.
update right away 4.0.4 is waaaayyy better than 4.0.3 and faux kernel is included now
only thing i dont like about b31 is that FIFA closes right away lol

The development for this phone moves so fast I cannot keep up. Starting a new business and took a couple weeks off from immersing myself into this phone and all the roms etc.
Just read there is a new ICS 4.0.4 version out. Looks like there is a rom for it as well that you can flash.
I'm currently on AOKP Toro 22 with the 13.1 Franco kernel and I have my phone dialed... good battery, great setup etc.
My question is...and I feel like an idiot for asking but... can I somehow just upgrade to 4.0.4 while keeping AOKP Toro 22 and my 13.1 Kernel?
Would this be silly or unnecessary? I'm confusing myself. I feel like I've lost my grip on things here with this phone! I love how I'm set up. But I have that feeling of course that if there is a new version of ICS I should be on it.
Can anyone clarify or even make sense of what I'm saying?
What I read of 4.0.4 is some improvements to Gmail app which is always welcomed, battery improvement (duh) and responsiveness.
I'll stop now. I'm just confusing myself and probably won't even get a reply cause this makes no sense more than likely.
Gonna go back about my business now.
Aokp is a 4.0.3 rom. So you can't upgrade to a 4.0.4 rom while keeping a 4.0.3 rom. If that makes sense. If you wait awhile there will be an aokp 4.0.4 rom once source is out.

Thank you for that quick answer.
I started to get it in my head... 4.0.3 rom... they must be working to get aokp to 4.0.4.
I just get very comfy with certain roms and rarely switch... only do updates etc. AOKP has everything I feel I need for now.
Was a MIUI freak on my DX but the idea of dressing up my Galaxy Nexus in those old MIUI themes is a turn-off. ICS is really, really nice as it is. These roms out now just bring out other goodness and better functionality etc.
RAmble over.
Thanks again for making sense of my ridiculously long post.
AOKP is now at build #23 but always ICS 4.0.3.
You can also upgrade your kernel because Franco rolled out his build #16.2.
Hope it helps.
I am no fan of nightlies and only look for stable versions. Currently, I run stock 4.0.4 but am looking into flashing a stable ROM and kernel. I tried AOKP nightly and a franco kernel nightly but want a stable release.
I've heard a lot of good things about AOKP Milestone 4 and Franco's Milestone 2 kernel, but what do you think? I'd like CM9, but there are only nightlies released so far.
What ROM and kernel work best for you that aren't nightly builds, i.e "stables" or "milestones?"
I personally haven't seen ANY problems on the newest AOKP.
I think the buglist on 32 is literally down to 2 things that people have found...
Pressing "reset navbar" causes a SystemUI FC loop.
Fix: Don't press it? All it does is return your navbar back to stock settings. You can do this manually in 5 quick button presses if you really wanted to anyway.
Torch will enable...but not disable...when used from the "power menu" (the menu that pops up when you hold power.
Fix: Remove torch option from power menu...use toggles instead. Or, toggle "off" with the status-bar toggle if you wish.
You see, I don't like nightly builds or builds which are updated every second day.
That's the thing about nightlies. One fix for one bug may break another feature and fixing that might break a third feature. I have had previous experiences with nightlies on my old Nexus One and therefore I want to have a stable release.
I appreciate your input and it's been noted. If many people happen to recommend the nightly builds I might just try them.
I love this phone and have nothing to complain about. It's a huge step up from the N1.
While that may remain true...
And I appreciate the fact that you're a purist...
I'm generally THE bug-finder for AOKP builds.
The devs even seem to take note of my posts...and have PM'ed me a few times asking for logs/details/tests/etc.
Clean flashing (obviously) and I haven't found anything in the last couple days.
Also, while these "builds" are technically "nightlies" in that they're pulled for us at random, it seems...
They also don't occur every night (as you may be well aware) so if the daily flashing drives you away...it'll be more like weekly with AOKP if you want to stay up-to-date.
Gosh.
I never ever recommend a rom to people asking. Generally just tell 'em to "find your zen" on your own...
But I just wanted to emphasize the stability here.
Edit:
Oh, and builds 31/32 are prequels to another Milestone build. So if you don't find something you like by then...Milestone 5 is always a possibility.
I don't know if there will be a 33 first...
But Roman mentioned we're fast-approaching one.

What do you mean with me being a purist?
Lol, just that you like everything to "just work" and be completely stable.
I don't mean it offensively.

Well that's not entirely true, and I guess I somehow worded it wrong. I want a ROM that's stable, kinda lika OTA-stable but anything near a stable OTA is fine by me. The part where it "just works" it not really 100% accurate as I wouldn't choose android as my OS if I wanted stuff to "just work".
Some customization has to be done for me, whether it's homescreen editing or overclocking and whatnot.
Either I worded it wrong or you misunderstood, but I consider the first option since I'm not speaking English natively.

We honestly need to ban "what's the best rom" topics...
I've decided I want to run a nightly now, after spending hours and hours of checking ROMs, and I think it's safe to say I'll choose between either CM9 and AOKP.
Then it comes down to what kernel to use.
I am really sorry for being such a pain in the rear for you guys.

I'm using Aokp 32 and Franco 135. Have had no issues, reboots or fCs. Just ensured not to do the 2 things mentioned above.
I absolutely love it. Couldn't be better.

My preferences in order of quality, stability and speed.
LiquidSmooth 1.2 (default imo kernel)
BAMF 1.2
Foxhound 0.4
AOKP m4
Liquidsmooth 1.25 + Trinity - Bomb Proof.
May test out a new rom soon but liquid has everything I need so dont see a reason to switch expect the fact to see what other roms has to offer. Still waiting on CM9 to get few more features.
I only use the stable Rooms/Kernels myself. I been using AOKP build 32 and used Tuna-faux 123 and had no issues or problems. I am noe using the stable version of Franco's Kernel. And again, no issues. I used to always use regular CM but after using AOKP I just keep using it. I know there's all kinds of roms built off of AOKP as others. But I just use the stock versions of ROMS. Like stock CM9 or AOKP and not a ROM built off of it.
There's a lot of great choices out there. Find what works best for you and your device.

AOKP 32 with Latest Stable Lean Kernel with Interactivex governor = Best battery and performance!
Honestly I'm loving AOKP M3 and Leankernel 3.0.0. I had battery issues with francos and stuck with it till about #13, then switched to lean and never looked back. My battery life has improved dramatically and performance is still no problem
With regard to AOKP's stability, I used to stay up to date with it but I think I might just start looking for the milestones, mostly because I think I don't end up using the vast majority of features they introduce with every build. I also got hit with that systemui bug in 32 and ended up just reverting to 31 before the devs posted a workaround because it made the phone unusable. I think I got a little comfy assuming that the beta line was generally stable.
I've been thinking of trying Liquidsmooth when they release the newer 1.3, which based on the chatter in its thread sounds like it will be soon.
As far as kernels go, I think leankernel is the way to go if you're a fan of stable releases. The stable branch probably sees an update about once a week with new features. I don't use franco's kernel mostly because the milestone releases are so far and few between, but apparently he's working with the liquid team for optimizing their rom, so maybe franco M3 and liquid 1.3 will be a nice combo to settle into when those hit.

you'll have to go to rootzwiki for it ... try GLaDOS kernel too while you're there i swear by it (after trying them all)
... at least for me imo CM9 + GLaDOS are my picks i always come back to them every time (so far)
I couldnt find a thread like this but, I am a huge fan of AOKP and was wondering, whats the difference between aokp build and the milestone on the AOKP download.
Milestones have most of the bugs ironed out, and are presumed to be stable.
Builds, aka "nightlies" are beta and have more features, but may or may not introduce bugs not otherwise found in the milestone releases.
AOKP Milestone 6 is dropping soon, if it hasn't already, so if you're considering flashing AOKP for the first time I'd wait for that version.
Thanks, yeah mile 6 is out rite now, just down loaded it.

If I get 9 smartass answers, one one "real" answer, that's fine with me.
I just want to know, and yes, Google is my friend, where the Dinc is with Android... fully-funtional Jelly Bean (saw CM10 nightlies), does it actually run well?
I'm wondering what the status of development is because I may pick up a new Dinc, I loved this phone and it's like $100 new in box now.
Thanks/**** you, depending on your response

Pons CM10 builds run great. Also have AOKP JB and several other nice roms. My Incredible isn't activated anymore, wifi only (actual phone is a Tbolt...interesting to say the least...) but I've been having great fun messing with the Inc lately. Still an awesome phone.

It's running great for me. One problem area is video, see my post here for more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959610
For a more negative assessment of JB on the dinc, check out this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33218317&postcount=105
...read some more of that thread for discussion and comebacks related to those comments. It should get you a pretty good feel for where things stand currently.
I have been running Albionman's 4.1 on my DInc as a daily since Beta. I can still get it to choke and reboot once in a while (once a month) but the benifits of 4.1 outweigh the negatives.
I like it a lot better than the office CM7.2 with the boot screen that takes 2 minutes to load. I am interested in checking out CM10 eventually though.
Pon's CM10 builds run pretty damn well, but you could probably find a slightly newer phone for the money, depending on your carrier/contract situation.
There are several JB Roms to choose from. I have run Albinoman's JB RC 3, Pons AOKP and Pons CM10. All have pros and cons. I am currently running Pons CM10 as it is updated and a currently active thread
For truly stable - everthing works plus extras - I would run (I know its hard to go back): Condemned Soul or Pons CM7.2
Above, somebody linked to a discussion where I expressed my opinion of the current JB builds (on the Dinc). My last thought is really the most important. Nobody else can tell you if you are going to be happy with JB on the Dinc. And you won't know yourself until you get the rom installed, you get your preferred apps installed, and experience it.
Some people don't mind the reboots (or FCs) and they report JB is stable. Some cannot stand them and say JB is not ready yet.
Some people say bah, camcorder... never use it. Some people say it is an essential function.
Some people never watch videos. For some people video is important.
One person's "slow and laggy"... is another person's "smooth and responsive".
For some the new notifications and "google now" are most important...
bla bla bla...... yadda yadda yadda
And then there is another big question beyond the /system functions. There is app compatibility. Everyone uses different apps. Which ones are essential to any individual? Are they working? Are they working well?
...digression below...
I am patient for JB anyway... I know that I will get JB (and everything working) in January. Nexus 4 baby! Updates... custom roms... everything is going to work so much better in my future than it ever has on the Dinc!
I love the devs and thank them for their work and for what they have done for the Dinc. They have made my time with the Dinc so much better. But since gingerbread, all the roms have been all been crippled (despite the devs hard work) to some degree. No more of that situation for me... no thanks...
Goodbye and F*** OFF, Verizon. I will take google up on a better value in hardware than Verizon has ever offered! I will enjoy massive savings for my monthly service. I will enjoy the freedom and choices along with better quality custom and modified software. I'm just jealous my wife is going to get the nexus 4 before me.
there are 2 jellybean roms running pretty well on the Inc. The best is def Pons CM10 and it has been my daily driver for a few weeks now.
I've been dailing driving Albinoman's (with some tweaks) since Beta 2, and aside from the camera glitch ( work around exists) and the occasional chokeout from evernote, I'm very happy with it.
Im running Pons CM 10 since about october or november until now. It runs well for my dinc. Always getting better on each updates. There's always plus and minus for sure. But you can use it as a daily driver for your Dinc. Worth trying.
I havent had the sgs3 for too long I am currently running the latest jb mr1-build 5. I tried Jamisons march 15 build and it is just as good. I do love being on the bleeding edge of things but right now I need my phone to be stable and I cant keep switching roms and stuff. So I ask you what is the most stable AOKP rom for this phone in your opinion. I figured I woulf start with JB milestone 1. I would rather not go to ics unless it is dramatically better. I know that The ICS version of AOKP had alot more features for the sgs2 but I think that since this device has JB from the factory offically it should be just as stable. And I am not saying mr1 build 5 is not stable but it keeps freezing and having random reboots and the phone part keeps freezing. Other things I can handle but right now I need my phone for business and cant have it messin with me.
Thanks for your opinions

I'm running Jamison's Mar15 build with ktoonsez KT747 kernel. It's solid for me. No issues so far. Have you tried his LTS build, which is stable build that he put out for those not wanting to flash the nightlies?
Anything from Jamison is going to be stable. I'm running his 3/18 ROM and haven't had any problems.

Thanks for youyr opinions. I was using the latest builds but I kept haveing some issues with the phone dialer part. Nothing really major. Usually I am the guy who is up all night waiting for the latest to come out. But at the moment I need no issues so that is what I am looking for. I found it with AOKP JB milestone 1. It is 4.1 so it reflects what stock is. I find that once a phone gets an update to say 4.1 from 4.0 the AOSP roms get more stable. I dont know if it is true or if it makes sence to anyone it is just something I noticed. So far I havent had any issues with AOKP JB milestone 1. As soon as I can I will go back to the nightlies and 4.2 but for now its 4.1 for me. Again thanks for the input I never really do anything without asking this community. Amazing how much I have come to trust a bunch of people I never met before but I do.

official build 5. build 6 freezes and drains battery -__-
Weird that you're getting freezes and resets using JB-MR1 Build 5. I've been using it for about a month with no problems at all. Solid as a rock. Build 6, as has been said, is kind of flaky. Although to be fair, it is a known issue for our phone.
US Galaxy S3 variants (d2s) may be unstable due to the new 3.4 based kernel

This is my first experience with AOKP. I had been running stock (rooted) since I got the phone 6 months ago, and I probably wouldn't have moved off of it except I got caught in a freeze/reboot loop and had to do a factory reset. On my Nexus One, I was a big CM 7 fan. But with all the reported issues with CM 10.1 on the GS3, I decided not to even try it.
