Which is the best ICS ROM for HTC Desire Z?
Which have you tried and which one works better for you?
Why do you prefer that one instead the others?
I'm looking for a stable and fluid ROM, the one with less issues, I don't care about appearance and graphic effects.
I found these interesting:
Virtuous Quattro RC3
CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0 BETA 10
Andromadus Audacity Beta 4
At the moment I'm for Andromadus but I'd like to have your feedback guys.
andromadus for the win, even the test builds aren't that crappy... i just flashed it, but i have an issue where any music app lags, so i'm reflashing another rom
I had tried Andromadus Audacity Beta 4, everything is working including camera. Very fast. Very rare lagging and font glitch than beta 3. Now I'm using it as daily ROM.

This is not a little problem, do you had it with Andromadus Audacity Beta 4 on HTC Desire Z or with an other ROM/device?
I have tried all 3 of these ROMS. No one seems to be working as hard as the Andromadus team. It may say beta, but this ROM is exceptionally stable for where it is in the development process.
I'm voting other: The one you find works best for you.
I posted in the other thread I found Andromodus had some small bugs like the clock freezing in sleep and the trackball backlight lighting up at weird times so I voted Cyanogen 9....have been finding it slightly cumbersome of late though, not sure whether to switch back again....I swear it was faster when I had beta 5!

May i ask you why?

In my opinion is the best for me aokp. Most stable, everything works and fast @ 1.2 ghz. Battery is good also

Andromadus Audacity Beta 4 + v6 supercharger
I've been using andromadous since alpha, and in the current beta I find it works pretty well.
I'm using it daily and don't have any problems, except for sometimes there is a text corruption (letters whicn cannot be read, but with the icons I can operate the phone well).
I've been using the Virtuous Quattro RC3 build for a few weeks now on my T-mo G2. I was getting the screen artifacts that have plagued all of the ICS ROMs for this device but I chalked it up to the Trebuchet launcher, so I installed the Flex launcher instead with the same results.
Performance is better than my Cyanogen 7.1 (Gingerbread) build on the same device - particularly in terms of battery life and homescreen response time. Actual app performance has suffered a bit. That could be because I reduced the default clock speed to 1Ghz. For example, Angry Birds Space takes about a 40 seconds to load, then there is a good 20-30 second lag between when a level draws on the screen and when the app will start reacting to input.
I'm going to backup my install and try the Audacity ROM this weekend, then give that a couple of weeks as well. My T-Mo contract ends in September, so I'll keep playing with ROMs until then, then find a replacement phone with ICS native.

They're based on literally the same code. The only difference is Andromadus has a few more fixes/tweaks/features to fill in the gaps that the lack of official support from CyanogenMod leaves. The CM9 "Beta" rom does too, but they're kanged from Andromadus.
Also the kernel that both ROMs use is Fyodor's kernel (Andromadus dev).

Thanks for the explanation
Honestly, Cyanogenmod Beta 10 is probably the smoothest ics rom out there right now. Ive tried em all, and believe me, there's nothing better right now. For some reason the beta's after it (11 and 12) are alot choppier and slower overall, so don't bother with those for now.
Andromadous is the most popular because it was the first, but CM9 Beta 10 is the best. you'll be suprised how good it runs once you try it. Okay, now i'm done. i'm starting to sound like a living bill board.
I would say Andromadus is probably the best, but if you want some theming too, QuadraSense it as smooth if not smoother than andromadus

Which ROM are you using and if you've tried both, which one works better for you.
I've used andromadus betas 2 and 3 quite extensively and between those, i tried out CM9 beta 2 and 4 and each time, i was disappointed with how slow and laggy the CM9 beta felt.
Andromadus Audacity is smooth and fluid throughout nearly all tasks on the phone, but for me, the CM9 beta was very slow with even just trying to swipe through the homescreen.
Andromadus Audacity beta 3 has pretty much everything working without any issues, except once in a blue moon, you get these annoying little text corruption glitches, but they're not really a big issue. It feels very stable though and i rarely ran into any issues when i used it for more than a week.
I voted Andromadus Audacity Beta 3 cause that's the last one i tried but there was no difference between both ROM.
Very smooth and stable in both case. The only difference is the camera preview which works on Andro B3 (but i installed it on CM9 ).
I've been running Andromadus beta3 on my phone and its been fast and fluid. There are still minor bugs but for the most part it is definitely DD material

Anyone try CM9 beta 5 yet?
BTW can a mod please change the CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0 BETA 4 in the poll to CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0 BETA 5
On Andromadus 3 video in 720p aren't fluid, its laggy...i tried 3 rom Andromadu, CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0 BETA 5 and Miui, i like miui for his design but the smoothest is Andromadus!
I'm curious about this as well, Currently I'm on Andromadus Beta 3 but there is very few CyanogenMod based settings a few under Launcher thats about it.
Are there more settings in the CyanogenMod Beta's?

First, the cm9 beta ROM and Andromadus are both based on the same amount of cm9 code. As such, they contain the same cm9 settings. Andromadus has an extra menu for settings specific to it, with some other extra features in some of the other menus. CM settings are all included in the appropriate settings sections now, though, rather than a separate settings menu/app. That said, you can find a bunch in Settings-> System, which is a section not native to AOSP.

Thanks for clearin that up.
Andromadus is working fine for me
I love the feeling of Audacity. Sometimes I get errors, sometimes they are fatal (right now my phone is rebooting for the 13. time and I have no idea to resolve it other than reinstalling). But I've experienced that on CM earlier.
My vote is totally for Andromadus
Cyanogenmod 9 Beta 6 & 7 both suck. Too much lag, and it slowly gets worse over time. Use Andromadus.
A little birdy told me that a new Beta is due out very soon

For me its Andromadus (right now on Beta4). Everything is running and no problems at all. Beta 3 felt a bit smoother then Beta 4 but i'll look forward and hope the best
I voted CM9, im using the Beta 8 and everything is working fine and its fast! It is my first experience with the rom and i plan on using it as a DD so we will see how things go after a few weeks.
I have tried beta 3, now using beta 4. Very smooth. Just text glitch appear sometimes, but can fix it by restarting the launcher. No reboot required. And one more, I'm facing problem with realplayer. It stopped everytime I trying to open video in another folder. Already clear apps cache but realplayer still stopped.

How can I change my vote? I originally had the cm9 beta8 but just switched to Andromadus and I'm converted, its just that little bit nicer.
Ive tried both the latest betas for each mod and while neither gave me any major problems, i found Audacity was giving me smaller problems quite alot (the clock freezing in time when the phone was on the sleep screen and the backlight on the trackball staying on at random times). I couldn't deal with all that minor irritation!
Hello, I have seen the forum that there are three Cyanogen10:
CyanogenMod 10.0.0-RC0 marvel/marvelc ALPHA0 By: modpunk
Cyanogenmod 10 builds (WIP) [MARVEL] [UNOFFICIAL By: benjamingwynn
CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies - modpunks work By: dudeman1996
I tried the first and second and I see more or less the same, the only thing there was a camera and another yes
What you recommend me for one day? Currently I have Cyanogen9 Alpha 7
thanks
Same here, I tried all the three and they're full of bugs. (FOR ME) and the biggest problem was the Htc Ime Keyboard didn't work on jbs. So I'm back on CM9 Alpha 7.
I tried Ben's and Modpunk nightlies...I couldn't get past through the boot animation due to I think bad building for Ben's ROM....
I was currently using Modpunk nightlies, it was working great except for the fact that Link2SD won't work with the ROM. I think I gotta get a different compatible kernel for that... (any suggestions?) Other than that, gapps is a pain to work with on this ROM especially with Cam, and low space to even flash them!!
cm10 is full of bugs .. i dont think its worth bothering with for daily use
i doubt if this will ever work, I think this is too much for the WFS
I'm running benjamingwynn's cm10 and it is absolutely smooth. The few main bugs are not annoying for me (gps and camera not working). The real pain is that some apps can't be installed (in my version) because of sd card permissions. But I use this ROM every day.

Mostly its personal opinion but JellyTime has been around longer and was/is the original JellyBean ROM.

At this time, both are pretty unstable, crashing, freezing, rebooting. Just wait for JellyTime R17 or if you can find R14... R15 and R16 are unstable for any use. CodefireX is also rebooting and freezing in latest version.... (naturally when 2nd version of JellyTime was bad, I flashed CodefireX)

but im sure that soon they will release the final GREAT JB rom...:good:
Have not tried CodefireX yet. Ran JellyTime 7.2 and 8. A few issues but more than good enough to be a daily driver. A did notice a lot of awake time when the screen was off. Not sure if this is really an issue. Battery life was decent. 16:43 minutes, 57% Voice calls (1 hour 30 minutes voice calls) and 27% display (1 hours 24 minutes screen time).

Just an FYI, you need to follow the ROM Dev's a little closer and test more than just one early release of a ROM. if everyone tested just one early release we (as DEV's) would never know what needs to be fixed or added or tweaked. I would recomend giving either of the current revisions a solid testing and I think you'll find that both are very good and stable on the desirehd/inspire4G

Guys just remember that codefirex gets released every night so naturally there will be some days that are problematic. Oct 8th and Oct 9th are known issue days due to new merges. Most has been sorted out but give it another day or two and it will be back to stable I'm sure.

Here is my 2 cents,
Indeed both have their bugs.
But on my phone i prefer jellytime r14:good:
Good luck

I agree. Jellytime is in my opinion, a bit smoother than codefireX, but both ROMs are good but unfortunately have problems in couple of last releases. Last one that works flawlessly for me is JT R14.

oops my bad thought i was in the forum >.<
Mods move this please
Whichever you choose, you won't be satisfied.lol
i offer to you install the revelotion roms ...
satiRM further
it really depends on what you want. lets say you want stock looking android GB so in that case your choice should "Android Revolution HD" 6.X.X I was personally using this rom for a while never had a single problem with it also battery life was very good. and also you might consider Cyanogen MOD 7.2 also GB rom with no HTC sense thats up to you Cyanogen is smooth and never had problems with it but ADW launcher which is used in Cyanogen is not that stable peace of software you would like it to be... anyway I think any GB based custom roms should be stable smooth and bugless... and its not that hard to try several custom roms and then choose your best...
now talking about ICS thats a bit different story there are lots to choose from and almost every ICS cutom rom states that its fully working but in reality I never found ICS rom which is really FULLY WORKING I would call them "almost fully working" because you can found small maybe not that important but still some glitches... Some camera effects may not work, some parts of HTC sense might be little bit buggy but of course nothing serious...
i did tried "blackout", "trickdroid", "sabsa prime" all of them was fine to use daily had some small glitches I mentioned before but no big problems keep in mind that memory "RAM" usage is a lot higher with ICS keep in mind if you multitasking alot but shouldn't be a big problem... actually tried to "break" my phone with intense usage like, listening to music, skyping, browsing web, runing games at the time, installing app from market but phone seemed able to handle all that just fine and thats good
and every ICS rom I tried had one annoying thing there was no "facebook for htc sense" so you must use that crappy facebook app to get your friend profiles synced... that really suck...
and you have an option to use "jellybean" i did tried "jellyTime" r16 had no problems with it but as much as I read about others expierence I would not consider "JT" to be stable and good choise for a new user who just wants to be sure his phone runs flawless...
I'm at moment using "sabsa prime 6.5" stayed with it because it was last rom I tried lol
sorry for my bad english
Now I need to figure out if I like sense or not I guess. thus far Jelly Bean has been my favorite on my play despite the fact that like half the stuff doesn't work >.< So we'll see...
Thx for all the places to start.
Sabsa prime best

Have you ever try CodefireX? The best ever!
iam using Cosmic Sandwich V2 after tersting Trickdroid and JellyTime. IMO its a solid experience for those who like a snappy UI (Miui) and some of the Sense goodies.
In my opinion, skip ICS and go to Jelly Bean. Google Now, some other fun things, you'll be glad you did.
Pick a flavor (there's many options these days). I'd go with CM10 - either codefireX or Jellytime with the KangBang-Kernel v0.1 (separate thread by synergye in the dev forum)
Try coredroid multy device sense 3.5 is the best rom everything works fine even the wifi ,camera are brilliant all rom is great

There appear to be a couple of ICS/sense roms on the forum for the DHD. Most appear to have bugs and issues for one reason or other. Is there a fairly stable ICS with sense rom good for every day use?
I've been loving JellyTime R19. Been up for days without any issues. It has been exceptional.
I have flashed quite a few roms till now and have had mixed experience. Among the ICS roms, I found Trickdroid, Blackout and Nik Project X to be the best. I loved all three of them and currently using Trickdroid. I did not try too many JB roms but like Jelly time.
If you are looking for a stable ROM I would recommend CyanogenMod 7 - it runs GB.
If you want to experiment and don't mind some quirks then I would say JellyTime - it runs JB.
I started on CM7 when I first got my HTC, tried LeeDroid, another one I don't remember, back to CM7 and most recently through several revisions of JellyTime.
Of course YMMV, if you ask 10 people you will get 10 different answers. So you just have to experiment - that's the reason I went through all those different ROMs. I found that I like the CM mods (JT is based on CM10).

Which rom are you using? What's your setup? Feedback? Reasons? Screenshots?
Development has slowed down a lot on our beloved G2, so it made me curious what everyone has decided to use as their daily roms.
I am using pyromod cm7. Looking to switch. I love Jellybean roms but my sipdroid calling cuts out too much on those roms. Sipdroid works perfectly on gingerbread however.

I stuck with Gen.Y VisionX R3 as it was the first one I installed and everything seems to work really well on it, and it's nice and quick. I didn't really feel like going CM as I like the Sense UI, and I always find that really simple things like calendar, contacts etc always have some sort of problem in the CM builds like the Facebook link to contacts breaking or the calendar randomly stopping syncing, but I do miss some of the extra customizability in the CM builds.
Im using blackice and it runs very well. Its 2.3.4, I love mimicry but for some reason it crashes my router. I personaly may try cm9 or the aokp rom.
I tried several ROM's but they would hang or reboot after running a day or two. Minicry even wouldn't start at all. TrickDroid is a nice Sence Rom, but it was very slow even using swap. Now I've switched to EliteMod & Kernel ICS and it runs fluently.
Unfortunately my beloved Dezire Z died last week.
Was using mimicry 1.5 for quite a time, but recently moved to Flinny's JB 4.2.2. Pretty much happy with it so far.
My DD is a fusion of gen y r3 and sense z lite. My kernel was based on virtous that I have re-configured for functionality. some of the rosie are was taken from desire x. bugs exist but nothing I cant handle and I dont intend to upload any of my work because some of it was taken from other devs work. When I started porting my rom I intended it for personal use only.
Currently I use ajhavery's Desire XZ 1.0 with APM mod (http://www.ajhavery.com/category/desire-xz/) and ckpv5's Tabbed Extended Quick Settings with battery percentage for myOnev 9.0 (here is his rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647052).
It is a very smooth Sense rom, the smoothest I think, just a pity that Rosie Lite can't get landscape mode.
I love tweaks and sense.
Venom ViperZ.
I tried almost all the recent roms, so far viperz is the most complete and stable one imo. With some tweaks, its fast as a fresh install of mimicry.
I ran mimicry for dd (4 months) before switching to viperz.
Flinny's CM10.1 ROMs. Once the phone gets going it runs pretty smooth for a two-year-old single-core phone.
