So I was scouring the Eris forums today and I remember how I loved all of tazz's roms and what he did for the Eris community. He was the first dev I was loyal too and after I left evil Eris I stayed on all tazz roms..
I flashed tazzfroyo, floyo, his sense roms, you name it I flashed it. He saved the Eris. He is one of the reasons we have mac and cs today.
And I just wanted to give him a shout out as my all time fav dev and his cm7 rom as my fav rom.
This being said our devs are great as are our roms. But how those roms changed that phone was something else..
So, who is your all time fav dev and what's your all time fav rom?
Let's make a hof for these great guys.

That's a tough question knipp. The first ROM I ever flashed (on the eris no doubt) was white widow v2. From there I flashed froshedyo. I was hooked from then on and I flashed GSB next. I stayed with workshed for a loooong time after that. He is one of my favorites still because he did such an amazing job with GSB. Condemnedsoul still is my all time favorite though. I flashed his ccm7 around the time the Google maps started to mess up and i always went back to his ROM on the eris. I actually got a dinc2 because he got one LOL. On this device I keep coming back to his ROMs. i try using other for a while but they just don't continue to be as stable over a long period of time. I can't stay away from sabotage sense.

Yeah with the Eris you were either with shed or tazz. I remember some major fights were both threatened to stop deving. I ran a shed rom once but I stayed with tazz. And now that we have mac and cs I expect to run most anything they put out. Aero is also high up there.

My all time favorite dev has to be ChevyNo1 from the og droid. He was never satisfied with "good enough," and was always improving something. His kernels were the most stable out of any I've ever run. He always addressed even the most insignificant problems, and never told someone that "that's just the way it is." I really miss him and his roms, I even strongly considered getting a droid x just so that I could follow him. He's the only dev I've ever felt compelled to donate to (though nitsuj is getting there).
Its tough for me as well. I've never really followed anyone and I never stay on a single rom for long. My first rooted was og Inc but all I really knew about was cymod I didn't even learn how to root on xda (YOUTUBE LOL) But just seeing how much progress has been made with ics I'd say touchpro or aeroevan. I know tp isn't with us anymore but those guys were pretty much asked to **** us an ics rom and beta6 is still a good less than RC ics rom. Nitsuj (JUSTIN LOLZ AGAIN) has also done tons for our device unfortunately I hate sense so I guess I can't really appreciate the work. Miui4 is getting better and better not to mention the mt4g port. I've ran condemneds senses briefly and they were amazing (still hate sense) Its awesome we have a group of seasoned devs who aren't dicks! All this being said I'm running cyanogen 7.2 RC1 lol
Amen to gsb!

Newt (Newtoroot). His MikRunny ROM (and its various incarnations) is just superb. I try everything, and always end up going back.
Nitsuj is also very creative and prolific, and appears to be juggling the most ROM's at the moment. He's also very quick to respond to questions.
So, I don't want to start any kind of "dev war", but for me, its a toss up between the two - and everyone is the winner!

I'm pretty much here myself. But can't forget aamikam as well. He contributed a ton for that ROM and of course the site itself
I also (despite how much of a **** he can be sometimes) love Protekk's work. AOKP is amazing, and he's done a lot for us in that regard. All with the help of aero of course.
I could go on about a bunch more devs. I love most of them lol. I guess this post is more of a thanks to all of our devs here. Even if I don't use your stuff, I probably have tried it lol.

I agree, I've run his kernels ever since I got into the root access game on my OG Droid. I tried a few others, but nothing else ever came close in terms of performance, stability, and flexibility.
I also respect the Kondik and the CM team. I ran CM5 on my Droid for what seemed like forever (at least not until CM7 was already quite well-established.
And last (but not least), Koush. CWM and ROM Manager were my phone's best friends for a long time.

Cyanogen and Koush were so important. None of this would be happening. And before them, a kid called Jesusfreke made it all possible.
The best devs are the ones who are doing it for themselves.. and for fun. One of the best early on was a guy named Dwang. Rock solid.
Worst of all time, never to be forgotten was Kingklick. So bad, he is where the term "kang" came from.
I am enjoying Aerovan. Seems like he puts a lot of effort in it.
I would start with zachxtr. He did an awesome job with the xtrSense and xtrRom builds. Tweaking and making the Eris stock roms fast, how it SHOULD have been in the first place! After that I went to GSB by workshed. Stuck with that til I upgraded to the Inc 2. Now its GingerBangSense by nitsuj17.
Though you can't deny those like CS, jcase, tazz, and others I can't think of right now. Lotta great devs then and now with some of the senior devs still at it today!

Whatsup with the Rom community..it seems really slow the past month or so..I haven't seen one Rom updated except for miui?? Sorry if this has been asked already.
Warm Z got released a week or two ago, and I think MikZ 1.0 just got released today. The new Sense 2.0 is nice, but it took a little while to grow on me.

Don't mean to sound like an arse, but I'm sure the developers have "real" jobs and develop ROMS and mods as a hobby. As flashoholics, our appetites are insatiable but there are plenty of ROMS (at least for the EVO) and tweaks to feed the beast until something new comes out. Speaking of new, mik released his z port today. Take it for a spin.
That's because there's already millions of roms that are pretty much the same (especially sense) just with diff tweaks. Devs beat the dead horse and we should see more once the new sense leaks or officially hits the deck for our evo. As aosp goes have fun with cm7 I'm a sense kind of guy.

Great point. My apologies to the OP if that's what you meant
Jesus Christ, slow? Erm, lesse,
CM7 just got WiMAX, and is about to get HDMI
Warm-Z was released
Honeycomb, Gingerbread, and Sense 2.0 ports are in the works
UltimateDroid is still UltimateKanging
The Development forum is the most active out of all the EVO forums
Not sure if OP is troll, or just incompetent...

First off i had hdmi(normal) and 4g when my evo released so thats nothing new. Its active but as far as SENSE goes all if not most 2.2 roms are still plagued w/ the same bugs. Most roms out there are the same just themed or diff tweaks. I agree it has been slow cause the same 2.2 base is all they have. When it comes to aosp, we all know Google/cyan takes care of biz and stays on top pushing out constant updates for their star children( nexus 1 and s). When a new sense rom pops up I'm like ehh another rom diff tweaks. The z beta builds are cool but lets see the real magic when sprint/HTC gives us 2.3 android/sense update.

I got a Droid Incredible 2 yesterday for Christmas and am already rooted (I'm very enthusiastic ). Can anyone recommend me a ROM that is at least mostly functional, reliable, fast, and has reasonable battery life. I would love to hear your input based on your experiences. Thanks!
Edit: I just saw the thread about choosing the right rom and for the most part it answered my questions

CyanogenMod... it's what I use.
cyanogen mod, skyraider zeus, or miui if you'd like
most roms for our phone have matured enough to be nearly completely functional and stable, with the exception of the ICS builds, but even they are pretty damn stable
skyraider zeus 1.3
mikrunny 1.0.1

Thanks for recommendations everyone!!!! I ended up going with Mikrunny (I believe that's the name) and I'm loving it! I was so tempted to go with ICS but I needed the camera for Christmas I do believe I will be downloading it in the next few days however. Only thing is I'm in the process if calibrating the battery and don't know if that should be interrupted...
Jst saying what up too all the Devs, Themers, Testers etc....I'll be joining y'all soon. Finally said f-it and decided to give up my OG Epic for sumn a little newer...didn't really want to but I hear nothing but good things about this phone so. Plus I see everybody from the OG jumpin ship anyway so why not. Well don't have to much ta say but see you guys soon. QBKing I know u got plenty of vids for me lol ima need'em looks like our community is a little more evolved than this one or maybe I've jst been away to long either way I'll see soon enough.
Oh point me twards a nice stable, fast, customizable Rom & Kernel if you don't mind I'm looking to flash as soon as my phone gets here! Please and Thank You!

Welcome to our forum man, check out calkulins el29 2.9.2 rom after you get rooted. It is imho the smoothest rom and the best to start out with. Stay away from ics builds at least until you are more experienced with how things work on this phone.

Unfortunately there aren't many kernel devs for our phone. I have made a GB kernel with some added governors / IO's but haven't released it because I don't even use GB anymore.
Waiting for final build of ICS so we can get source.
I am 4 days into the Dinc2 and am enjoying it so far as I am sad to say a former DX2 owner. I have worked on HTC's before and always find Synergy Rom's in the forums. I am not seeing it here like in the Dinc forum's or Evo forum's. I am curious if anyone knows if we will see something here for Synergy or no? I liked it on the Evo but it wasn't my phone so I didn't get to play with it to long. Any heads up would be great Thanx!

I am not sure on a synergy release mainly due to the ICS releases coming out. There a lot of devs in our community so it could spark interest.
If you are a fan of synergy I recommend any of nitsujs work. Also over on mikmik newts roms are killer.

That is kind of what I was thinking was holding up some roms I am used to seeing I am running nitsujs TSM Sense M EXT4 5.0.1 with the 3.0 sense patch.
I am far from new to modding but I don't want to run right to the ICS builds just yet I want to explore all the Roms for the Dinc2. I also know I like MikMik Roms as well. Coming of the fascinate and DX2 CyanogenMod builds it's kind of fun to have more build and rom diversity to flash away like an addict haha.

Completely agree. I started with the nexus one. (More than enough Rom variations lol). To the Sony X10 with very few different rom choices. To the Inc2 where we have everything from stock to cm9 and sense 4.
Check out mikrunny, inchd 1.1 (mikmik), nits trinity (full sense 3.0), nits bullet mt4g port, and of course your aosp.
A lot of people run skyraider (teambamf) and mikrunny. Although like stated before the ICS builds are near fully functional.

Hey, everyone! So, long story short, I pretty much jacked up my OG Droid Incredible a couple of weeks ago and was force to pick up a new device. I went with a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, basically because the dev support is huge. The only problem with it is, the dev community is almost too huge! I've been scoping out the development section and it has my head spinning as there's just so much to choose from! Anyone have some recommendations for a nice stable Jellybean ROM and kernel to flash to get started with? And what does everyone use for recovery? I wasn't anticipating getting a new device this quickly so I haven't really had any time to research and sift through all of these threads. Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I look forward to being a part of this amazing community! Thanks everyone!
Sent from my Droid Incredible using xda app-developers app
personally I always go with CM, and they did just start nightlies with CM10 (jellybean), kernels I just stick to what came with the rom, which is of course a CM kernel, and recovery, well you guessed it TWRP also brought to us by the CM team. There are many devs out there offering many great roms, but no matter what I always find myself going straight back to true CM roms, not CM based roms.

Man, we haven't had any official CM ROMs for the Dinc since Gingerbread. Everything ICS, and now JB, has been CM-based. I've never really been huge on MIUI but I'm willing to give anything a shot! There's just so much going on over here, I'm a bit overwhelmed!

BAMF Paradigm has been rock solid for me. It's close to stock with a handful of customizations. I'd say it's "just right"!
Is there any sort of Touchwiz theme or add-on that works with any of these JB ROMs? I know most people can't stand Touchwiz but I ran a CM9-based Touchwiz ROM on my Dinc for a while and absolutely loved it!

I guess you can search for themes that are compatible with CM10 theme chooser, but I don't think there's any Touchwiz ROMs. Also Touchwiz itself is not yet Jelly Bean, so it's gonna be pretty hard.
Welcome buddy! Glad to see your aboard the nexus train lol
As for ROMs.. this will depend on you specifically as I enjoy customization I went with -
JbSourcery and CNA, both stable and Jelly Bean.
Allow a huge variation of Customization, Miui was great with Gingerbread but since ICS it went to hell.
Kernels will vary depending on the ROM. Stock usually seems to be best.

Personally I use TWRP recovery as it is very nice. I used the goo manager app in market to install it. Other than that I have tried many ROMs and all of them have been great but am now using paranoidandroid and probably will be from now on. It has things totally different than any other ROM and is really cool. With that I use the trinity kernel cause it performs well and I really like the colors. Also there is a touchwiz mod in the mods section that looks to be very complete. Look in there if interested to see what Ron they recommend on it.
