Hello everyone! I receive my Dinc2 tomorrow and I am coming from the crappy locked down DX2 I was using cm7 on the x2. But since I am new to this device I was wondering what is the best solid running rom with everything working? The cm7 you have now? I would love to try ics but it seems most still have issues? Those I can play with those on my days off but need a solid phone for work.
Last question since I have never had a unlocked bootloader then will stock kernal work with most these roms? I already have the software downloaded to downgrade and s off. I will used the revolution way to do so and get cwr. Thanks in advance and I look forward to using this new device and hopefully meet some nice people like I did on the x2
Also for the record I did search around but being new to this site I was not sure what is up to date.
I recommend SkyRaider Zeus for stability or ICS if you're more daring.
Yo, go miui, I had cm7dx2 and never tried ace's miui, but miui dinc2 is awesome. I use the gb miui 1.12.90 because I like its stability. Never tried ics miui because I fell in love so much I haven't found time to switch!
Coming from cm7 dx2, I didn't think that zeus was as full featured, but hey maybe you'll like it.
And welcome to the community! Congrats on making the jump from big evil moto!

Thanks for the feedback! I have been reading as much as I can since Friday. Downloaded software to get the s off and cwr. I will make a nano back up and try out a rom. Miui I have to admit I tried Dragonzkiller alpha and stayed with cm7. I have heard great things about Miui so I might give it a shot. I know cm7 should also be good. I am just to new to know if there are any other roms better that I never heard of before. Well thanks again back to searching and reading post.

Where are you finding that version of Miui? I looked at the sticky with rom list in development. I do not see it except for ics version.
When I searched for sky raider only themes were coming.g up.

Thank you very much. This device has so many things it can do. It makes the DX2 look like a toy. And my screenname is cursed by it lol. So glad to leave motorola!
Lol if you have any questions about skyraider don't hesitate to email/pm me. I had that rom from when it was in beta status up until about 2 weeks ago I switched to aeroevans cm9. Skyraider is the most stable sense rom I ever tried.

Thanks I am sure as I learn more I will be trying many roms including ics

Thanks!! That is very good to know. I was happy with cm7 before. I like the looks of skyraider rom. One thing I am not sure about on the x2 nanodroid did not change the kernal. Will in on this? So if I make a stock nano am I safe to flash away in a sense?

Nandroid backs up your kernel and rom. So say you nand a sense rom and has a custom kernel for it. And you then flash cm9 with aeros kernel. When you restore the nand you will have sense and the sense kernel again.
Also I ran gb miui from the time we got it till we got ics. If you have any questions about miui shoot me or ubuntunerd a pm.

For miui you can do stock. I used aeros kernels back then. Now I use them on his ics rom. His v9 kernel works for aosp gb too so try it out.
Also one thing I do in miui is use with go launcher. Or create a folder in the stock launcher to use as an "app drawer"
Another rarely told thing is this phone is over clock able to 1.8 but best performance is around 1.5 and most ppl stay around 1.2 with the smartassv2 or on demand.
Anything else just search and ask me if you can't find it. Most of the x2 guys have been pretty good so far. Glad to have y'all here

Is it a significant difference if you overclock to 1.2Ghz? Mine is currently running on 1GHz, and I was worried about the battery life then.
Thank you all specially Knipp21 and litetaker. You both helped me out alot. I flashed miui in a matter of minutes. Looked very sweet but so new to me I am not sure how to get it set up and stable for me yet. So I will come back to it. Then flashed the CM7 what I am used to so I can get it ready for work tomorrow. I look forward to flashing different roms and wven trying the ICS. I love the fact that the nano backups actually change the kernal as well this phone is bad ass!
I'm looking to upgrade my dads phone. He has a custom GB ROM I already put on there months ago but since sprint finally rolling out ICS I was wondering what was best...cm9? F18 leak? He just wants ROM that is stable and has hacked hotspot.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Well if he want a stable rom with Hotspot hack i recommend getting Phantom Blazer 4.1 Rom. But if he wants ICS roms CM9 will do.
I'm running M'ICS v 1.1. stable, good battery life and has sprint hotspot.
Let's be honest here, there are probably a dozen of these threads out here and I am quite sure a few quite recently. You could get a million different answers since it all really depends on the user themselves. There is so much that goes into deciding whats best for you I never get asking others. I mean opinions are great but personal experience is the best.
If you are just going to do if for every day use then flash the stock FF18, throw a recovery on it and flash the hotspot hack in themes and apps voila! you're done!
Sorry was not trying to flame I understand what you are asking just don't think a dozen people giving you different answers helps you. All the roms in development are great but all come with a little kwirk here or there.

Stability is one aspect, battery life is another. Best suggestion is to read through the threads of the roms that interest you and what style you like and test the battery life on it.
I personally like Wicked 1.5 and have 3 1/2 to 4 hrs on screen time. But that may not be the case for you. Based on what you run, how you run...
Browse away and give 'em a try but take head to flashing responsibly and read, read, read so you don't brick your phone.

Thanks. Yeah, I've been reading about bricking potential...it's one of the reasons I haven't updated yet.
I've tried to read through some threads of ROMs that people have said they liked, but with hundreds of pages in each (saying back to the ROM's release), it's difficult to take it all in...that's why I asked here (and tried not to start another new thread about it ;-))

I completely get it. It is alot to absorb.
There are 2 posts that I know of which are polling people about the roms in use but its all a matter of taste.
Besides the fact that some may be partial to a particular team, dev, etc.
Its just a hard question to answer.
Best solution is to try if you're willing. But there are safe kernals now and great people to give you advise if you get stuck.

What ROM/kernel combinations do you prefer and why? Vote and reply insight on your ROM.
Feel free to include battery life, performance, customization, etc
Big thanks to all the developers. This is opinion-based and only meant for informational purposes.
Please NO FLAMING ROMS OR DEVELOPERS. They do this for free, so keep that in mind.

I am currently running wanam's 1.1 version of his stock-based ROM. Been running it for 2 days and has felt much smoother and battery friendly than stock! ATT and Samsung apps are flashable later through CWM which like. LOVE this ROM. Only known issue that I have seen is the 1080p recording for the camera. It does record in 720p though. Thanks!

I ran CM !0 for a few days but I used a Mac and MTP doesn't work so its a bit of a deal breaker for me, but in all fairness its Extremely stable to be an Alpha build. My first android phone was the G1 and then on to the Nexus One so i'm a sucker for AOSP based android roms and for Cyanogen Mod in general so ill be running it when the MTP gets sorted out on my Mac.
I tried Wanams rom, I remember him from my SGS2, Hes a great Dev & its really stable as well.
The best all around so far for me is AndroidUser00110001's Rom linked below. I've found the wifi disconnect problem that i was having with the other TW Roms is gone and it has had the best over all balance of performance and stability.

When it comes to battery life there literally is none better, he did a fantastic job with his ROM. It takes a performance hit at times but its to be expected.
Overall, AOKP has everything I want, sans killer battery life

I have looked at it, and the one I have installed on my phone even has the Aurora designation I intend to use if I publicly release a rom for this phone, so we will see.
Also, son of a *****, godaddy didn't auto-renew my domain. Guess I will need a new one.
A buddy of mine just got the S3 and isn't into the touchwiz and nature theme. He just got the phone yesterday so I've been looking for the best custom rom with everything working. Any suggestions?

I used Aura on my Atrix for the longest time. I like the stability of kyan's ROM. I just know the layout and I like the dandelion/water unlock screen LOL. I liked CM10 and had no issues. I plan on trying AOKP tonight. I like the drop down 15 toggles mainly because they are quick to get to and turn on and off like torch and brightness modes.

Definitely AOKP. Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean versions are awesome. I've yet to find any bugs that keep it from being a daily driver. In fact I've found none. But I haven't used it that in depth much, we shall see.
But I put my vote in for AOKP. By far the best, and I only flash for AOSP based ROMs anyways. :good:
AOKP JellyBean and ktoonsez JB kernel. Those guys rock. Never seen a preview work so well, looking to see what's to come.

Thank You!
Not to be rude or anything but all one has to do is look at some of the popular ROMs in the development sections to get a pretty good idea. The popular ones tend to always be near the top, provide great documentation and support, and provide pictures and videos to get you a great idea of the experience. Just spend 30 minutes looking over the various options, and flash a few to see which one you want to stick with. Flashing ROMs is so easy nowadays that it really is just a matter of how much time you are willing to spend playing around with them. I'm waiting for Jellybean ROMs before I really make the jump and satisfied with the performance of stock (with Nova launcher) until those JB ROMs become pretty stable and can be used everyday.
You really can't go wrong with any rom currently out. I've tried them all out and they won't disappoint. I'm currently running Freeza's rom and though it's touchwiz based, he really changed it up.

For me they have all basically been the same in regards to battery life. At a minimum I can pull 16 hrs on battery with 4+ hrs of screen on time with each rom. I'm not really into playing games on my phone so that helps. However, battery life is really user dependent because we all use/set up our devices differently...so what may end up being good for me may not be the best battery life for someone else. Definitely give each one a try though and see which works best for you
I'm definitely going to try them all, but god damn are all TW roms almost 1gb in size? I thought sense roms with big @ half the size.

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've seen a few people post that FreeGS3 is noticeably smoother and less laggy than Blazer. Not knocking Blazer since it may have some other features that people prefer.
For my previous phone (EVO 3D), I tried several Sense ROMs and there was a significance difference in performance among them. Is it such a stretch to assume that a similar variance would be present in custom TW ROMs?

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've seen a few people post that FreeGS3 is noticeably smoother and less laggy than Blazer. Not knocking Blazer since it may have some other features that people prefer.

Well I wouldn't know as I've only tried stock, freeza's fre3 and blue odex since coming over from the og epic.. I guess my "word has it" comment came from reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29890564 <-- that
I guess my point is obviously people like all these roms, or they prob wouldn't always be the top four threads all day long...
It really depends on your own preferences as they all appear to be stable and running well..
Again my advice, pick one and flash it.. if u feel like trying something else then try that too.. If somethIng goes wrong restore your backvup.. again.. the beauty of xda.

I get your point but the beauty of XDA is also in the ability to solicit opinions to make an informed decision. I don't think my question was that out of line. It's not as open ended as simply asking what the "best" ROM is.
I love Goodness Rom so much that i have been neglecting others. I have went as far as trying to remedy reasons why i cant leave. I found the rolletube apk and i have been searching for other roms with working mulitwindow. Is Goodness the only one? I am willing to sacrifice some things to show love to other developers. So, if i love Goodness...
What do think i should try next!?!? Thanks for your opinions for i know everyone's preferences are different but nonetheless, they are appreciated!!

You should go to the development section and read each rom description.

Well since you love Goodness idk if you'll like it because it's not TouchWiz based... but Liquid Smooth is AWESOME! Android 4.2.2 and this ROM is smooth as heck great battery life as well.
I definitely know what you mean. but in my case, it's been the FreeGS3 Rom that's been occupying my attention for months. Battery life has certainly not been up to snuff as of late in this Rom (stock kernel), so would you recommend Goodness?

Well, that looks like what i am going to have to do. I actually read them already before i posted this but i know that devs do not put all the features and goodies in the list. That is the only reason i reached out for opinions, which i normally do not. I was trying to take a short cut but I have no problem trying them all lol. Thanks for your advice! It is appreciated.

The only reason i would recommend Goodness to you is if you like being stuck on a rom for months! It has everything i have ever wanted in a rom including roms i have flashed on the OG epic lol. I been flashing for a few years now and i have not been so impressed with a rom as i have been this one! Give it a try but be forewarned!! Let me know what you think when you switch!

Couple of things: They update on their homepage more than here on xda, so if you wish to keep up with this rom..that is a good place to start. Also, did i mention multiwindow works flawlessly on here!!?? Happy Flashing!!!
I do like Goodness too! Now I think im going to try Unofficial AOKP Jellybean 4.2.2

I flashed Unofficial AOKP 4.2.2 yesterday, and coming from the M snapshot of CM10.1, I am finding it very enjoyable. I appear to have better battery life now, and I find the overall experience better.

I just tried MOAR rom....i can dig it....but after a couple of days....time to switch lol....going to give FREE a chance again. I miss multiwindow..wahhhh lol...i love my AOKP and CM series but i tend to miss the TW experience ...weird huh! O well....gotta love our options though..Team Droid for life lol
The new MOAR M6 ROM is as solid as they come. I have used everything including aosp, and keep coming g back to the MOAR ROM. Give it a try. With the Morphology built in, you can pretty much theme it a million different ways to your liking.

I have been using the Goodness rom for some time now and love it.. I have trid MOAR and wasn't that impressed. On my wife phone I have wickedsensation, because she loves the pink theme.. I do not plan on using any other than Goodness, and can't wait to see if they make a update for the MA6. I thought I downloade it already from another thread, but it was the fix for the hidden prlwrite. I guess with the new MA6 you can't write a new prl..
Ha...i feel ya. Well i actually flashed 3 different roms yesterday < Jbombed, Moar, Free> and yet i came back to Goodness. I have not seen, from my point of view, a more complete rom. I mean i have awesome batt life, blue themed, options of theme, tremendous amount of customization, fully functional mwindow, and settings galore. I just dived into the kernel world and trying out this Ktoonesz kernel. I have no idea what it is doing thus far but from what i can tell, its not harming it in any way lol. This rom to me....is exactly why we root! But the one thing i love about it is that every rom is different like everyone is different and we are blessed to have options. Different strokes for different folks! Happy Flashing!!!!
