Which ICS rom do you prefer and why?
Currently AOKP due to reliability, tweak-ability, and speed. Blazing fast for me on Build 33.

I am on decks pb22 and it has been rock solid for me. I tried out AOKP 31 and had tons of random restarts so I bailed on AOKP, at least temporarily. I have not tried gummy or drew. Gummy looked promising but last I checked it still only had partial HWA and that is a deal breaker for me.

33 is amazing. Way better than 31 for my phone.
Isn't AOKP sacrificing camera for HWA and vice versa?
Um MIUI?

Drew's in my opinion. Fast, stock, and stable.

jamie's QWIK based on Evervolv is rock solid. Using it for a few days now with no unexpected concerns
ya in my personal experiance kwiq ics has been the most stable as of late (aokp 33 has been real close tho maybe a cleaner flash or something would make it better) but kwiq is a in its early stages unlike aokp and decks so you lose some customization but i believe they are on the way. gummy was also more stable than previous aokp builds but has not progressed recently but i am excited to see what comes of it but also was smoother than aokp but lacks hwa
I've tried all ICS roms but kwiks ICS so I can't comment oh his. I've been running swipers MIUI ICS for months and it stable as a brick **** house.

I am running decks ICS pb23 and it is super stable no real issues with it other then the fact the front camera and 4g dont work
I've flashed all the roms mentioned and all of them seem to have the same problem for me. They all start off fine and then after a few days I will run into random reboots. ICS is not stable enough for me to be a daily, but it getting there.

Honestly I'm a bit surprised at how little people talk about Evervolv. It's an amazingly smooth ICS 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 and everything works except the 4G which is expected from an ICS Rom go check out Evervolv on Twitter @preludedrew Trust me it's well worth it I've been following it since the original release.

is HWA on AOKP yet?
Yes. HWA has been on AOKP since b31.
As for preludedrew, I wish his rom had more for customization. But I am well aware that he is to be credited for ANY of us running ICS at all on Evo. So despite my not using his ROM, I def regard him and cayniarb and mongoosehelix as heroes for all is Evo owners. Without them, we'd likely still be hosed for ICS.

Since I'm new to the Droid incredible 2, I wanna know what others think.
I'm running regular cm9 (aero) rite now and is fine, but I would like more options. I'm forcing my self to not flash ics miui
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Honestly, cm9 is probably your best bet. Last I heard, our device specific aokp hadn't been updated in a while. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Sent from my mobile typewriter with tapatalk
I run the newest cm9 by areo an miui ics. The newest miui is the smoolest an quickest ICS rom with the .9ics kernel but is harder on the battery than cm9 by areo. Both are really good roms for me aokp is not as smool as either of the other 2.
Aokp has been updated to build 29, which is based off of 4.0.4. It's pretty good overall. Most of the bugs have been worked out. I've ran it for a couple of days now, and really can't complain. Having said that, I restored back to CM9 tonight due to Aeroeven's newest build 4-4-12.
I use Ics reloaded with CM9, so I get most of the custom stuff that I like in Aokp, so really, Aokp and CM9 both work great for me. It's more just a matter of which do I feel like using today.
Digging the 4-04 Aerovan build and the latest Nitsuj MIUI build. I think Aero's build is a tiny bit somoother than the MIUI, but not by too much. Nitsuj is new at MIUI, but these builds of his are getting better and better.
Try them both.
I'm a pretty big tinkerer, and right now I'm running the epicaospmod ROM and from a completely clean flash, I have settled into some very minor yet still very irritating bugs and stability issues so I figure since I'm already dealing with issues, why not get more customization out of my ICS ROM?
Which of these three ROMs do you find best? Which is the most complete? Which is the most stable in its current iteration? And most importantly which one just kicks the most ass!? Just wanna start a discussion between the three.
CM9 is the most stable, but I like Codename the most. It's all up for debates, but CM9 has had the biggest development team behind it so far.
I agree with Ascertion. CM9 is definitely the most stable, and the battery life on it for me is outstanding. I like Codename, but won't be going back to it until it's updated to 4.0.4.
I'd recommend CM9.
I've tried them all cm9 is a daily driver for me.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Thanks all for your input. I bricked trying CM9 earlier this month and have been waiting to try again. I may do it this week.
Anyone using aokp think it is good for a daily driver? I am using it on my Asus transformer, and it is fast and rock solid. Seems like it may still have a little way to go on the E4GT though...

I think all three are very stable. I have ran all 3 but recently been running cm9 because video and camera are fully functional on the latest build. I did underclock and under volt and been getting decent battery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
well since CM9 has the video fixes implemented, it shouldn't be long for the other AOSP ROMs to follow suit. All in due time, all in due time.
I agree cm9 is stable but aokp is just as stable with better customization out of all 3. Once codename is updated I will using that again.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Once kernel sources are released, I think you'll find these 3 are similar in working features.
Just my thoughts:
CM9 = most stable
AOKP = most pretty eye candy
Codename = most performance/battery life
Up to the individual for what is most important.

I concur with this..
Whats the most stable 4.0.4 based rom? I love AOKP and ive been running M4. But im looking for more of a newer system based rom. The battery life from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 i believe is a hell of alot better.
Flash the newer build of Aokp its rebased off 4.0.4. It's been out for quite a while

Well you're like one of the only ones with issues. And the OP asked for a stable ROM , not a lame-not ROM. I'm personally running CM myself , just threw a suggestion let him test the waters and pick the best one that works for him.

Another vote for stock 4.0.4. Currently using my own build of aosp. Deodexed, rooted+busybox. Quite stable.
I've bounced around to several of the roms mentioned here and I have to say all of them have been pretty stable. I've used several for over a month, others weeks at a time. I'm on MIUI now.
All are pretty stable. The differences are the extra features and speed. Some stagger while others zip along. I'm sure most work well now. Most will have the same common extra features normal in a custom rom. Most of them look and feel the same after you get it setup.
My problem is I'm getting bored. The roms are so stable and perfect that I have no reason to flash and most devs aren't putting out many updates because of this. Only CM9 and AOKP update nightly. Others go for weeks. I'm was running Axi0m from March 4th. I finally got the itch to switch to MIUI.
I'm waiting on Gummy to release a new rom and Team Bamf.

Looks like CM has more popularity then i thought. Ive ran with 4.0.4 AKOP but it seemed problemmatic to me. I also run francos kernel. And always update to the latest nightly.
Maybe ill give Build 31 a shot again. Im tempted to try CM9 now though. Although i thought with 2nd init roms like CM9, atleast thats what they called them when i had it on the droid x. It was feature filled, but battery life was terrible.
AOKP b31- Francos Kernel
I recently bought my Galaxy Nexus. Immediately rooted it and tried a couple of ROMS. I was looking for stability with features.
I finally installed Milestone 4 and found it stable; however, not smooth or fast enough as 4.03. After seeing all comments in the AOKP thread I tried B31. Have been using it for 3 days with Francos Kernel Milestone 2.
I love the features, stability and smoothness with which the ROM works and have had no FCs or reboots at all.
In my view-If you want stability with a host of features then, nothing better than AOKP B31 with Francos kernel.
All the best with the upgrade.
Bluetooth Problems
Did CM9 and/or AOKP get the bluetooth problems ironed out that I read was introduced by 4.0.4? That's one feature that has to work for me.
Using Liquid Smooth Rom 1.25 - Pretty stable and fast, a lot of neat features ...
Flashed imoseyon leanKernel v3.2.1 but my phone was heating up (Didn't even touch the processor speed or voltage ) now using Franco Kernel (Battery life not good) - Give it a try, maybe the above mentioned kernels might work for you ....
Now going to try Trinity .....
Opinions on ICS for the DINC anyone?

I use AOKP Build 40. It has the most features but it is slightly unstable.
I haven't messed around with it on my Inc lately. But I did note that a lot of rims didn't manage to support camcorder. Considering the good camera. I dislike xD

I'd also love a recommendation on a good ICS rom.
Any of the CM9 variants, you can use a third party camcorder if you need it. AOKP has a few more features, but they're not as well implemented imo and it's randomly unstable.

AOKP is badass but the battery was so bad I couldn't use it long term. I'm trying drk.hd CM9 right now for a hopefully better battery life.
Evervolv's ics ROM works great for me. Camera works, never had a random reboot, and very smooth.

My vote goes to Linaro CM9 or the other CM9 by hd.drk (although I had some battery issues with it, my buddy has not). Both are snappy and 99% problem free.
Which (if any) 3rd party camcorder apps are any of you using?
I know it's a phone, not a camera, etc etc etc, but with a toddler running around the house there is almost always chance for video gold and the phone is always nearby.
Thanks.

Is evervolv a miui rom, if not is there any screen caps from it or where to get the rom
Running evervolv 2.2.1a3 now and have just switched from MIUI v4.
You cant go wrong with either rom. I will say evervolv is running much smother for me than miui did. Video works better too. But you can beat the theming with miui. Though I hear that is broken on the latest port.

I've been running aokp (ICS) since before cs released his kangdemnation ROM. I like it for the tweaks that aokp has but have been having some problems lately such as my phone rebooting when I get calls. It only happens every once in a while but its getting annoying. I will probably try something else soon.

What's wrong with us? The 90s are over!
I'm in kangdemnation .4, but I must admit you guys are right about functionality & reliability. ICS runs great. Can't wait till all the bugs are squashed.
Not a huge sense fan (used to be). It feels sort of heavy to me. TSM UKB rocks, tho.
PA is way cool, but haven't really gotten over the learning curve yet.
I'll probably go back to CM7 at some point. The Reverend mentioned CCM7 1.5 with aero's .8 was a good build.
The nice thing about flashing constantly is that you learn about options that you never knew existed & often can find ways to make them work on other roms. The downside is that your wife gets pissed cause you're on the phone too much! :banghead:

All i really care about is a working camera and i don't really use fcc. So i'm on 07/30 aero jb ROM. Battery life is phenomenal and i haven't had any issues. I realize that camcorder & fcc doesn't work, but i'm fine with that. Aero's cm9 build worked great too, so i would recommend that for camcorder and FCC. I tried the latest sense based ICS roms and didn't care for them , but that just my opinion.
I loaded up a "final rom flash",even though I've said that a hundred times, I'm running cm9 with aeros .12 kernal without the adreno drivers cooked in. Instead I flashed the ics adreno 200 drivers, along with Google now, agps patch, and its probably my daily until jb gets a little more stable.this combo is solid on my phone. Although any of the ics roms are equal in my eyes in different respects , there all great lol
I've been using Skyraider Zeus for many months now and it has been great! Long battery life and really smooth. I used CM7.2 by CondemnedSoul before Skyraider and that rom is excellent as well
I tried ICS roms but I couldn't live with bugs. I like complete functionality

I like to experiment with things that I understand little about.... lol
I didn't know if the adreno drivers that got put into aeros kernel were the same as the ics adreno 200, I really don't know what the difference was and that's what I wanted to see since I thought the other drivers were for jelly bean, I figured the ics ones would be better for ics, but I rarely have graphics issues. I'm pretty sure i asked that same question in one of the inc2 threads lol
