So I'm not very familiar with this phone system, I am doing this for my sister. I recently installed CyanogenMOD-7.2.0 on her phone. The phone runs much better than when it was stock. (It is rooted and S-Off). The one issue she had stince gettng cyanogen on there was that the call volume (speaker volume too) was incredibly low. From reading I though that installing a different kernel would fix the issue. From what I read, the best AOSP Kernel for the incredible 2 was Tiamat. I went to
http://tiamat-dev.com/vivow/
I downloaded the latest gingerbread ROM Tiamat_Inc2-v1.1.5 to the external SD card. I wiped cache and davlik cache and flashed the kernel. Now there is no sound at all on the phone. NO call volume, No notifications, No media.
Any ideas what went wrong?
Any Suggestions on another kernel that will fix the sound issues?
Well a lot has changed since then. Tiamat is way outdated. Check out goo.im/devs/aeroevan/kernel/vivow. Grab v13 4.7 graphite.

Just so everyone can see, is an ICS kernel like this backwards compatible with the earlier Cyanogen ROMS?

The ICS kernel was made from the released Gingerbread kernel and hacked up by Aeroevan to work with ICS. It should be fine.

it was suggested not to try that though some did with no problem, I can't remember which kernel fixed that issue, it was only the latest cm that had the no sound issue, look at aeros post over on rootz, I believe it was a test kernel not in the op all others broke sound
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
So I finally got around to flashing this kernel.
Good news: The sound is awesome, much louder
badnews: camera and video playback are broken...
Any additional info on these problems? I haven't seen any other issues YET. Is this fixable with a different version of the Kernel you suggested in the earlier thread or do I need an entirely new kernel?
After a few tries it seems I've figured it out. I used the latest ICS Tiamat kernel Tiamat_VivoW-v031412 and there are no audio issues and the camera and video playback are working. If I run into any other issues I will be sure to post.

I've tried almost every ROM on the development page but could not find any ROM that is stable (I.E. GPS not working, or Camera issues, etc.) Is there any ROM that anyone here recommends that is most stable?
Probably Villision 1.0

How about Cyanogenmod 6.1.1? Granted its Froyo but its Stable. Other then that just root the stock rom and get the junk off of it. I did those for a while. Now I'm on Cyanogen Nightly 31 having no issues. I have been lucky being able to fix the GPS issues.
The latest Virtuous is pretty stable for me! and everything works
I've never once had an issue with cyanogenmod.. just flashed rc4. Idk why everyone complains about gps, my works flawlessly.. id say cm6 would be the most stable thou as someone already said. But it is froyo.

Go for the ROM with the most replies.
Any ROM will have bugs. The older and more popular it is, the more likely, the bugs will have been worked out. Go for older, stable roms instead of newer, unstable ones.

Seems to me the GPS issue on CM7 may be location dependent, since some have the issue, others don't, and flashing various different radios seems to solve the issue for many. Since I travel a lot for work, it gives me less than 100% confidence that the GPS will work when I really need it to.
There is also the persistent video camera landscape/portrait playback bug (but I haven't tried the latest nightlies or RC4). Plus, the camera button is laggy on CM7. So I'm onto Virtuous, but ADW EX as launcher (Sense is sloooow). Virtuous is built off the stock Desire Z ROM, so its very stable. Off the top of my head, the only common bug I know of is wake issues depending on kernel and clocking, but those are easily solved by SetCPU profiles, or using the Standard Virtuous kernel. I haven't tried a great many ROMs, but Virtuous is working well for me so far.
Gingerbread ROMs are all ports from other phones, since a native GB "official" ROM has not been released for the Vision yet. Until that happens, the Froyo builds are going to be less buggy than the GB ones.
All ROMs transfer rate too low? But except for Leedroid. There is an interesting situation. Why is it never understand. What do you think is the problem?
For Example: Pc to Phone data speed, On leedroid: 5-6mb/s Other ROMs: 600-700 kb/s
Depends on what kernel is flashed. 2.5.35 kernels are pretty alright and work like normal but 2.6.37+ kernels have this issue. Unless your experiencing this on 2.6.35 kernels, then I do not know.

For example, I would like to use oxygen Rom.
Which kernel, I would you recommend?
With Oxygen, 2.6.37 I think comes with it. You could flash an earlier kernel version like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883598 but it's hit and miss still. The only way around it really is to get an app called MultiMount.
Oxygen comes with 2.6.35, AdamG rolled back from .37 because of the low transfer speeds bug wasnt present in .35, I think that's how it went anyway...

how can i find Oxygen 2.1 with kernel 2.6.35 (stable ver.) help pls?
.....ROM that works....been flashing ROMs for a while now and can't seem to find something that's stable enough to use daily...besides one I would rather not name so I don't look biased....
I know ALOT of hard work goes into these ROMs & it is quite a pain in the ass dealing with people complaining about every little detail, but why release something with alot of bugs?
If a ROM constantly freezes, removes apps by itself, reboots by itself repeatedly, force closes every 10 minutes, needs 3 scripts to be run before it works and/or only 1/2 of the tools/gadgets on the device work correctly then maybe it shouldn't be released as fast.
I GREATLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK by all the Devs on this (and other) forums...do not take this personal anyone, please.
If someone knows of a somewhat-stable ROM PLEASE point me in that direction.
I know how to flash ROMs & kernels and wipe everything and do all the backups & whatnot....not following directions is not the problem....
I have done what is recommended by so many members of this forum---"just download & try them for yourself"....I've done that, but can't seem to find a decent ROM/kernel combo....
if anyone can offer a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.
[I'm gonna get some sh*t for this post, I know it]
I found decks rom to be good and stable with real good battery life. I've tried it with tiamat kernels they were ok but my phone I decided my phone likes the stock kernel the best. Only thing i had to fix was the gps but I've read that all aosp roms need that fix. Or if all else fails you can go with trustee ol fresh rom

I think you're flashing wrong. Ive flashed about 90 percent of the roms in xda and I've never gotten the problems you stated. Try mikg v2.5. That's what I'm running right now for sense. For AOSP try kushdeck 1.2.1. It's 2.3.4 based and really stable in my opinion
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
yeah the MikG 2.1-3.0 v2.52 is the stable ROM I was talking about in the OP...that's what I've been using but I'm looking for a Sense 3.0 ROM to flash...I use Amon-RA & VR Superwipe to wipe everything (I run VR twice for every ROM) so I'm sure everything gets wiped...
I didn't mean all of those errors happened at the same time on the same ROM....I was just stating that quite a few ROMs have at least one or more of those problems....
know of any somewhat-stable 3.0's?
Thanks for the reply BTW.
For sense I have used EVOlved Rom and loved it. Just flashed Synergy a few days ago and it seems to be running really well also. Godmode for Synergy doesn't work well for a lot of people but non godmode works really well for me

yeah I tried Synergy+GodMode & had problems with it...about to flash Synergy RLS1 & see how that does...heard it's decent.
If you don't need 4G, use MIUI
I have a real good step by step in my signature. Be-LIEVE me, I've had every ROM there is, and I used to HATE MIUI, but now, I can't see running anything else
MIUI is an AOSP ROM, correct? Similar to CM7?
I tried out CM7 & that was pretty decent, but I really like the Sense 3.0 ROMs.
Finally got a nice setup (so far) with the Synergy RLS1 & Aggressive Freedom .9 Universal kernel...device is crazy-fast now with no FCs or any problems...yet...hopefully all will stay good.
MYN's Warm 2.2 RLS 5
Never had a problem with it.

Hi all,
I have been really upset with the choppy scrolling performance on our phone. It is a bug Supercurio found immediately upon using our phone and one sadly no dev has fully fixed yet.
Well, good news. I've been testing a ton of different ROMs and kernels and I have found that the Skyrocket kernels are PERFECTLY smooth in scrolling. Why? I do not know.
I tested Da_G's CM7 kernel with my T-mobile SGS2 and it worked. Now, not only did it work but it works perfectly. Everything works including data (4G), calls, etc. There is only 1 bug and that is because it is a Skyrocket kernel---Automatic orientation (if you turn it on) is exactly 90 degrees off. Easy fix though I think.
Other tested ROMS and Kernels:
Kernels:
Bullet (all versions)---very choppy but amazing on battery
Synergy (all versions)---very choppy but also really good on battery
Faux123's kernels---Newest version of Faux's kernel incorporates Skyrocket drivers and FIXES the 2D choppiness. Currently it is the only T989 kernel to be fully smooth
Mr.X CM7's kernel---choppy but amazing battery and 2D Quadrant scores (I got 760s with it)
Da_G's Skyrocket CM7 kernel---BUTTER smooth, everything except Auto-rotation works despite being a Skyrocket kernel
ROMS:
Stock 2.3.5---VERY choppy
Stock 2.3.6---Slightly less choppy but still pretty choppy
Juggernaut 4.0, 3.7, 3.5---ALL pretty choppy, 4.0 is likely the best since its based on 2.3.6
Beastmod 4.0, 4.2---ALL pretty choppy
Domination 2.0---EXTREMELY choppy...I don't know why even since it's 2.3.6 but my testing proved it was one of the worst in scrolling choppiness
CM7 by slayher (for T-Mo SGS2)--Butter at times and choppy at others.
CM7 for Skyrocket (Alpha 4)---Choppy if T989 kernel is used, BUTTER if Skyrocket kernel (Da_G's kernel) is used.
I believe ROMS have little effect on the choppiness. They do contribute a tiny amount but I do believe the kernels are what dictate whether scrolling is smooth or not.
Moral of the story, T-mo SGS2 Kernel devs, please either build from the source for Skyrocket or see what that kernel has that is different from ours because it is MUCH MUCH SMOOTHER than any of our kernels.
Cause us skyrockets users are raw haha but ill try and see how to fix your guys rotation problem. Busy trying to build a new cm7 miui and AOSP with members for the skyrocket

If you could port Da_G's kernel by incorporating a 90-degree Auto-rotation fix, it would be bomb. Everything else works and it is sooo smooth.
Would you mind linking to the exact kernel you used? I never use auto-rotate & I'm dying to get rid of this choppiness.
Certainly. Make sure you are running CM7 though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398512
Use the AT&T CM7 v4 version. Get into Clockwork, flash, and reboot. It doesn't have a boot logo, don't be alarmed.
I certainly am Which version did you use though, AT&T or Rogers?
AT&T like I said in my post above.
Ah... derp, I'm special. Thanks.

Hello fellow Colorado-an!
Just to clarify- the moral of your post is: using the Skyrocket's CM7 ROM & Da_G's Skyrocket kernel on the T989 you have 0 choppiness?
I'm just unsure of which ROM you're using (ours or Skyrocket's)
Thanks.
Correct. Use the Skyrocket CM7 or ours (doesn't matter but ours has more bugs. The Skyrocket CM7 with that kernel has NO bugs if you keep the GPS on).

Yep, true, somehow, GPS on our kernel keeps audio working and no bugs, dunno how, but don't ask me.
Also, the orientation thing is because our accelerometer is flipped upside down, that's why it flipped differently for you.
I'll ask Da_G if he can revert the fix he did in the kernel, then upload a version for you guys, since our kernels seem to work better for you.
Also, if someone doesn't mind, flash a T-Mo ROM, then a Skyrocket kernel (don't worry, I've flashed T-Mo SGS II kernels before, only thing that breaks is the rotation), and see if that fixes any 2D lag you have.
Wait- we can flash the skyrocket version of cm7? Like without modifying it of anything?
Hmm glad this ROM & kernel combo is working for you!
I myself have used several of the roms and kernels you mentioned also and have found that the stock rooted Telus T989D ROM by Mr X + the synergy kernel are not only the fastest imo, but I get 0 choppiness and almost 2 days of battery life on normal to heavy usage.

Ok sorry for my noobishness, I had no idea..don't really use cm7. I just flashed dagkernal .42 on gingersnap 0.3. Its amazingly smooth but I had to turn off auto rotation because its working backwards. Which is a kernel with good battery life and is smooth on skyrocket?

I think all the Skyrocket kernels are going to result in rotation issues. I flashed a Skyrocket rom and one of our kernels and it works fine.

Just tried the dag 4.2 rogers kernel with juggernaut 4.1 and I can really notice a difference.. not that benchmark's matter, but I'm got 7154 on AnTuTu on the first try clocked at 1.78 and getting 4600+ on quadrant at the same clock lol
Let's see how the battery is on this tho. Jug 3.7 + bullet 2.9 was giving me amazinggg battery life but last night i went to sleep with it being 45% and woke up with 5% lol maybe the governor changed to performance or something idk
EDIT - After around 20 mins of use, I can confidently say that my phone is now BUUTTTEEERYYYY smooth I used to get lag/stutter during screen transitions and everything, now I'm using the Sphere effect on Go Launcher (one of the ones that usually cause the most stutter) and it couldn't be any more buttery smooth lol
Thanks for finding this The only issue is the auto-rotation but once that's fixed, this will be amazing lol
Hey guys, is there a Froyo kernel with audio boost baked in. I know and have used GB kernels that have it, but right now the ROM I keep coming back to is on Froyo. The absolute only downside is the low audio/call volume. Any help would be great.

I dont remember any froyo kernels having that. I know there are a bunch of apps on the market that are ment to boost vol, but i have never used one. I like audio boost though, makes it so much easier to hear. Its built in to the kernel im using, Tinys latest gingersense.
Yeah, I have used the GingerTiny kernels and really like them. I guess i will have to keep trying GB ROMs until I find I want to keep. Most that I have tried either didn't have all the features I wanted or had issues with flash not running smoothly.
