Cm9/aokp/arhd

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?

ARHD is more stable, AOKP has 4.0.3 and more mods. Just try it.
Im on ARHD btw

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.

[POLL] Which ROM do YOU feel is best for everyday use

PLEASE READ BEFORE VOTING: Just wanted to see what the general consensus was about which ROM is best for everyday use, and for new guys trying out a new ROM, this is a good starting point on what to try first. I agree, most ROMs update often (sometimes daily!) and even though one update may break a thing or two, the general usability of that ROM usually maintains the same.
Now, when voting for this poll, remember to take account usability in an everyday environment, not full-fledged feature comparison. Some ROMs can't record 720p and most ICS ROMs have no (not even partial) HWA and can't use video camera. But these things are things most of us can live without. So when voting, please take into account the basics: If the phone works, if messages work, if you can use Wi-Fi properly, if 3G works, if phone reboots too often or not, if the ROMs runs stable and smooth or if it lags and locks up, battery life, photo camera works or not.
After taking into account usability, take into account features. For example, if you feel there is a CM9 ROM that runs as stable and usable as another CM7 ROM, choose the CM9
Please vote for ROMs you personally have tried, and not for ROMs you "heard" work well. More than one choice can be selected because you may feel more than one ROM was working well enough to be used daily.
Note: I started making the poll including only CM variations, and decided to include other ROMs in the mix (which I'm not sure are based off of CM material), so I just decided to leave CM7 for any Gingerbread based ROM and CM9 for any Ice Cream Sandwich based ROM
DISCLAIMER: This is by any means no reason to diminish some developer's work, but is instead intended for the average guy who doesn't have all day to be flashing new ROMs everytime a new build comes out.

Nice of you guys to vote, but unless someone posts anything, this thread will just get forgotten.. So I'll take the plunge...

Well, Quark's GB CM9 is my daily ROM. It is pretty stable AND usable since 0805 if you blacklist HWUI for some apps.
I really don't see any point why I should go back to stock or CM7.

Considering the rules of poll:
1-CM7
2-MS2Ginger
3-CM9
Since 0805 cm9 i think I'll never come back to a GB rom

CM7 - Euro Skank

Quarx-cm9 from May 11... seems very stable.

I'm using the quarx 120506 (May 6th) and it's pretty stable.
I was having some issues with previous CM9 versions from Quarx and Epsylon, like Bluetooth issues, crashing apps, slower camera, reboots and so on.
This is with no doubt the best CM9 so far (i didn't tested yet the versions from days 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 (may)).
When I have time I'll update to 11th may version to see what have been improved.

I´ve started trying ROMs since i did my register, and that´s a few things i could say about ´em
Gigglebread´s builds of CM7 are the best for me in terms of daily use.
- fast
- stable
- well customized
(i can´t remember of any bug or FC in a little while since i started using it)
120508_v2 Defy+ Quarx´s build of CM9 are the closest of a daily use ROM of all the ones i´ve been testing (so far)
- fastest CM9 i´ve ever tried (after installing Apex Launcher)
- stable (phonecalls, sms, wi-fi, 3g, sensors, camera, gps ...)
- still little buggy with camcorder, and the panomara doesn´t work for me
ps:I ALWAYS do a full wipe before swapping from cm7 to cm9 roms and i always flash my stock SBF before getting back to cm7.
I don´t use chrome, for me dolphin browser mini is enough.

euroskank cm7.2 FTW

cm7 euroskank!

WIUI stable
WIUI stable is the best rom

I'm getting no issues on Maniacs cm-7.2.0-RC1

I´m on Maniacs nightlies (CM 7.2) for quite a while now and my Defy is completely stable, fast and i go for more than 2 days without charging

White Rabbit ist the best for me!

So any roms fully functional?

So my upgrade is coming up on November 1st, and I will be looking into getting a new phone in the near future, and I am finally done waiting for this ICS update that isn't coming from HTC. I was wondering if there are any fully functioning roms for the Incredible 2, or if anyone can tell me the one that is closest to fully working. Of course looking for something ICS or above and appreciate any suggestions on where I should begin...

I have not tried Psycho's CM9 Global yet, but I hear it is pretty much fully functional except for the FFC is upside down or something...I have tried their CM10 Global and it is a smooth running rom, just a couple of little bugs they are working out. Mimicry CM9 based rom is almost fully functional...only thing not working that I know for sure is the FFC. Those are the only roms I have tried recently. I have also read that the Viper Sense rom is pretty good too, but it is Sense 4. I prefer the Paranoid Android, but there are some camera issues with it and a couple of other small bugs that don't affect me that much so I never notice them. Other than that I am out of suggestions, I have not tried UKB, MIUI, or any of the other roms that I hear are great roms.

I started with aeroevan's CM9 ROM and it was terribly slow and pretty buggy. I had to reboot it at least once a day. I'm now running Psycho's CM10 Global and it's actually been really great, aside from the nonfunctional FFC, graphic tearing with Chrome, and unstable Bluetooth. Also, the CM10 Global ROM has an issue where after locking the phone it will take 1-2 seconds before allowing you to unlock again.

Sorry, this is the only thread I ever check, so I didn't even think about it. Is there a way for me to move it? If not I guess I can just delete it...

IC Tazz has been flawless for me. I tried CM9 and CM10 for a few weeks, they work pretty good but are not 100%.

I'm using the new viper Rom. In the past I've always preferred sense tho. Viper is nice. But I prefer my own non sense widgets. So my phone basically looks the same as it did when running cm10. So I'm not sure what the point of staying on viper. Must say battery life is impressive, especially for a sense Rom. Battery life was one reason why I hated sense. But then my phone doesn't really look like sense anyways since I'm using all the same widgets as I did w aosp. *confused*

Haha, I can understand that. I've only been around this one for the past few months. Seriously, thanks for the reminder. I won't forget next time haha

for an ics rom, i gotta say viper sense is the most bug-free. both the ffc camera and rear cameras work fine, and you can shoot fine in 720p HD recording, a problem with many other roms.
this was one of the main problems i had with most CM's and aosp roms was that the stock camera sucked. it didnt even compare to the sense camera and pictures looked they were taken with a basic phone. the viper sense camera was great, maybe even better than stock.
as for bugs, i think the only thing was that taking a picture while recording didnt work, i dont think its supposed to though cuz the inc2 isnt designed for it? also for some reason after a reboot it changed from cdma to gsm, and i think the only way to change that it running the aroma installer again.

I'm no expert or developer but there is quite a few Roms that I have found a pretty stable that could be used as a daily driver with no problem. If you're not rooted I recommend trying it and giving some Roms a test run and seeing what you like before ditching your inc2 its a whole new experience.

are you serious?! i wanted to download that as soon as i got near some reliable wifi. (there's none available where i live so i use wifi tethering)

Fully functional eh? Both dkstunna and Aerovans cm9 & 10 both run nicely. Just have to make some changes depending on your carrier but youll find the solutions by reading the threads. But don't forget most roms are like that woman in the red light district. She's pretty and fun and can do a lot but there is also something under that skirt that is fully functional.

Currently Running: Mimicry 1.5 w/ vivow-tiamat-ics-031412 Kernel, JB_ADRENO_DRIVERS_V2.ZIP.
It's been a pretty solid experience for a few months now.

Condemned Sense's Stock Build Odexed.

Depends on your definition of "fully-functional." For me that means everything that the stock ROM has including FFC, rotating softkeys, 720P camcorder, wifi-tethering, etc. Most of the ROMS listed (excluding stock ROMS) so far have issues with at least one of these things. I don't consider a mentality of "living with minor bugs" consistent with "fully-functional."
Personally my list would include:
- any of the the "standard" Sense 2.1 Gingerbread ROMs like GingerSense, SkyRaider Zeus, etc. (they all use the official 2.65 kernel specifically built for GB)
- Arctic Ascension 2.02 (aka IC Tazz 3.6) - Sense 3.6 using the leaked Chinese v3.x OTA kernel - everything including the stuff I mentioned works on it. It even includes features not even the stock ROM has such as automatic 3G switching when sending and receiving MMS messages.

Try CM 7.2, it was the first rom i flashed. the battery life is extraordinary and it runs fast like hell! only problem is its a bit old fashioned.
I'm currently running ViperSense 1.1, but its just slightly slow because its using a stock kernel

Thanks everyone for taking the time to give me this information. I have been busy but plan to look into these very soon! Much appreciation!

Miui 1.12.9 with Aerovan's 0.7 CFS kernel.

[Q] Stock or AOKP?

Ok, So I've been on a custom ROM (specifically an AOKP based one running jellybean) and damn... I do miss the fluidness of touchwiz and having almost no bugs, which I expect since there isn't no stable release of CM10 yet. I was wondering, have you ever waffled between CM and the stock TouchWiz interface? If so, do you think making the jump back to stock is such a huge deal?

I waffle weekly between AOKP and Ariel...no issues. I keep a good CWM backup of each and when an update for one comes out I update my backup. I run AOKP, start missing smart stay or some other native feature so I load up Ariel for a week or so then I miss the custom-ness of AOKP and I load up that goodness. I've never had a major issue switching back and forth.
Hope that helps.

If you download the "M" versions of CM10, those are the monthly stable builds. I use to run M2 for a while and it was nice, really smooth and mostly no bugs. But I've switched back and forth between TW and Stock builds and I'm staying with stock since 4.2 is coming out Monday, and will hopefully be released to AOSP very soon as well. It's all preference.

I can't even begin to tell u how many times I've done that...I was originally stock ICS rooted but had a craving for jb...
So I flashed a aokp ROM (tasks) and it was beautiful...but then I missed the nice pretty tw and switched back only to realize the only thing I missed was the camera...

I came from Task/Ktoonez AOKP on my GS2 and flashed it immediately after rooting my GS3. Don't miss TW at bit, of course it is hard to miss something that you've never used . I have never had any problems with either that wasn't of my own fault, or that couldn't be easily fixed and have no plans of changing anytime in the foreseeable future.

What are your opinion of AOKP roms?

I'm not too new to Android. I'm not a developer, just a lover of the system. I hated the stock rom on my SGS3 and rooted and flashed the device to put some new roms on it. I've bounced around from rom to rom. I've settled on the ParanoidAOKPdroid rom.
I have some problems with it being stable (mostly sleep of deaths), but I expect that with any custom rom. So my question to you guys is this, What AOKP rom is the best rom that you've found? What one is the most stable, easiest to use, ect..

I found aokp on my samsung infuse 4g. I used to try a new rom every two weeks or so. Once I installed aokp on my infuse I have not had any real desire to go to any other rom which has xfered to my sgs3. I'm currently using task and ktoonsez's aokp and haven't tried the other ones for the s3 to give you my opinion on them.

Ive used task's aokp before. Its pretty solid and stable. I dont recall getting SOD on his aokp. I would recommend giving it a try.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, I use task's and toonz AOKP rom as well. Its amazing. Can't go back to TW after this.

I've run AOKP on my past Galaxy Player 5.0, and now I'm using task's AOKP on my GS3. It's really great - a lot of useful new features (which makes it much easier in day-to-day use), it's really fast, but I wouldn't call it quite as stable as touchwiz roms. It's not actually unstable at all, just touchy sometimes. I've never had a sleep of death or anything running task's ROM, usually any funkyness is my fault.
There's a definite learning curve to AOKP, it's a much more "vanilla android" experience than touchwiz but it's worth it. I just make sure I have a backup in TWRP (or CWM if you choose to use it) made frequently while I'm playing with stuff. Get AOKP installed and stable => do a backup. Install some more stuff, get it stable => do a backup, etc. This way you can play with stuff and not worry about breaking anything, you can go right back to where you were if you happen to make it unstable in any way.
Oh, and KT747 kernel is definitely worth a try too. EXCELLENT kernel.
