Update my rom - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I am running Andi Bones Sense rom, 2.3.4, I was going to upgrade to another rom like UKB, but I see that many are having some kind of problem, and I don't have time for BS problems.
I don't want to be updating every week, or month, so maybe someone can point me to something that works, and has been working for more than a couple of months without issues.
Is there a newer bootloader I should have also, I look through here then I end up not doing anything , because what I have works, what does not work is my browser speed sucks many times, but I think this is a Verizon problem.
Don't refer me to read 400 pages of BS

What a great attitude.
Stick with Andybones stock if you want something that works. Either that or try Justin's SenseM ROM.
Hope this wasn't too much BS for you.

All depends on what you consider BS problems. I'm sure your infinitely busy schedule doesn't allow you to elaborate much, but what is essential to me may not be essential to you. UKB worked great for me for a Sense Rom, but I simply prefer the AOSP UI. I've had issues with the camcorder on most AOSP Roms, but I never use it, so it isn't an issue to me.
I have a small piece of advice for you though. You may see development threads as "400 pages of BS", when in fact there is a ton of valuable info contained within. It's a small wonder that you have enough time to post on here and tell us to help you, as well as time to flash Roms to your phone, but can't be bothered to read a thread to see what works and what doesn't work. Do yourself a favor and stay with Andybones Stock. If you start blindly flashing other Roms, you'll inevitably catch snags here and there and I'm sure people are going to not want to help someone who flatly refused to read any info on what they flashed.

I was going to suggest he flash the Chinese leak that specifically says "do not flash of a Verizon user", but I figured that would be too cruel.

Wow, I can't keep from flashing something new every week.......let alone every month.....there's just so many choices.....flashing ROM's is like being addicted to crack......and really, how long does it take to make a back up, flash something, test the features you want and then wipe and restore your back up if you don't like it..........it's not like you're installing OSX on a PC or something, now thats a chore that I've done on numerous occasions....lol

I concur. His bad attitude may be the result of lack of Dix.

honestly, i understand his frustration. the number of times I've heard someone say a rom us stable, only to load it up to realize it isn't, is frustrating.

for those that need really stable (though even the stock rom could be argued against as being stable by some) working roms, they *need* to remain on the stock rom...its as simple as that (or at least stock based roms)
source built roms and rom ports are almost guaranteed to have some issues at some point, and if you cannot deal with that.....
just use stock rooted, and enjoy

400 pages of threads to read one person the camera does not work, the other has not data, another has a virus, someone else has rabies, I would spend days reading that thread if not weeks most likely, and in the end decide, no way.
This is my primary phone, and flashing roms can lead to hours of work.
I am definitely going to stay with what I have now, I don't have the time to play around with roms, there are more important things to do in life.
I will keep reading and maybe try something I like, but I mainly did not want bloat ware, and I don't like control from a carrier on a device I bought and paid for.

These guys do this for fun, and for free. They build something they like, then freely share it with us. To call their work bs us an insult. If you don't want bloat and just want stable functionality, buy an Iphone. You ask someone to tell you what to use. The only way we know is by reading. You ask us to do the work for you. Respect what these guys do. You don't contribute. At least show some appreciation.

[Q]Help from people who know things ;) ROM question

A friend of mine has an EVO, I do not nor have I ever used an evo before. He wanted a custom ROM installed and asked me for help. I would greatly appreciate any help offered by the community.
1. What ROM is closest to stock(If gingerbread is out for it then a gingerbread build would be nice), just tweaked/debloated/deodexed/zip aligned etc.
2. How well is CM7 running on the EVO? I have a captivate and CM7 right now is pretty unstable this is going to be his main ROM and he isnt too technical.
3. What rom has a good/easy update flow. Maybe something with rom manager where he can just click update and all is well in the world.
Thank you SO much in advance.

There are plenty of stock roms and there is a couple gingerbread floating around somewhere i believe as well so your winning on that.
Cm7 i believe is very stable rom and many people enjoy it. Not me but people really enjoy cyanogens work.

Flashing a Custom (even stock) Rom and then not wanting to update to the latest and greatest...ya....ok....NOT. Your friend will get a taste of what this is like and BOOM...hooked. The Rom I linked has a great OP in support. Enjoy the fun that you already know is gonna take hold of the phone your about to set free!
EDIT: Thought I'm sure this goes without saying, but will do anyway. Remind them......DO NOT...accept OTA updates even if they can...just sayin..lmao
CM7 or Death! I played with a lot of Sense roms for quite a while, but I determined they are nothing but bloat. CM7 is superfast, and I couldn't ask for much more in stability.

I'm glad to hear its stable. If he is willing to give up sense and cm is stable then I might encourage him that way.

Now I have to decide if I should stay on CM10 or go back to the MIUI I love. I'm really digging how smooth Jelly Bean is, and Google Now is awesome. But then, MIUI is where I feel most comfortable UI-wise. This will be a tough decision until MIUI moves to JB.

That's what I was thinking at first, but after using CM10, it manages to be a smoother experience for me. I especially like that the XDA Premium app no longer has problems. I also prefer the new notification bar over the TW bar.
None of this really matters in CM10 vs. MIUI, though. It'll be a tough choice.

S3 forum seems to be less cluttered with roms...(reworded)

Where are all the devs? Is it me or does it seem that only several roms are on the first page of the Development forum? btw im not referring to the Original Development forum lol... It kinda surprises me with all the hype surrounding this phone that there aren't more roms being cooked up... Im by no means complaining im happy with Blazer but just surprised.

I dont get what ROMS people are looking for. You have touchwiz, and there is only so much that can be done with that, and you have aosp...so much can be done with that. ROMS can only be modified so much and still be fuctional. If your comparing it to the epic, or the evo or something, your probably taking about themes. I noticed a lot of the same crap, it just looked different and "dev-c" called it a rom, but it was the same thing 'dev-b" did, that was the same thing "dev-a" did, each one just looked different, or had different apps added or removed.

Well, if you're you're referring to AOSP, then that's correct, because that's what it is. AOSP is stock, barebone google android; no touchwiz, sense, motoblur, etc; those features are tied into the framework of that rom.

A couple devs just made it over and are cooking up some stuff.
Unless it gets pushed back like everything else Sprint has done, this phone should get a JB update most likely in August. Once it's updated and source is released I think you will see a lot more ROMS. I think they might be getting a little bored with ICS (even though there inst much difference between the two)
I should of been more specific. Lol I was talking about my rom experience from the SG2. I have yet to try out roms on the SG3.
I would just like to say I am entirely satisfied with the progress being made and as soon as I can comment in that forum I will tell them personally. I also intend to donate. That is probably the best way to get things moving. :laugh:

I think August is a bit generous. The Epic was supposed to have Froyo August 2010 but didn't get it until March 2011. I'd be very surprised to see JB on this officially before October.

I really don't consider myself a dev. Its one of those roms that everybody is saying is not "dev ". I actually agree, but some people still enjoy. But thanks though. But I think we still have some great all around devs in both sections. I'm sure more will come, but I'm definitely happy with what we have right now.

Not to point out the obvious but, it seems like you are the only one taking offense and creating a "fire storm". It didn't read to me like he was putting anyone down but, asking an honest question. The devs we have are great. Wouldn't trade them for anything. We are lacking in quantity though. Rather have quality than quantity so I'm perfectly ok with that. I guess I'm just confused by your comments though because I was looking for the trolls and flames and didn't see anyone taking offense to his question. Either way we are all entitled to our own opinions. I agree with both of you but, not your particular attitude. *shrug*

To assure you man for all ROMS on ur android there basically only used for upgrading ur os/ having themes and making ur phone look bad ass. They do not steal any of yourself they are just the ****in best devs ever xD
I have been flashing ROMS since my join date here at xda and never had an issue. You would definitely here about it if it did happen. You can trust the devs work.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I've even heard iPhone sheep trying to use this as a reason why being able to run a custom ROM isn't the greatest thing. If you're downloading a ROM from some random website that nobody has ever heard of, I might be a little worried. But this is XDA. It's like the Gizmodo of phone modding sites. Chances are if there was some malware or something built into a ROM that someone here created that stole your personal information for the developers own personal use, something would have probably come up already, and you probably wouldn't see that ROM anymore, nor the developer on this site.
Coming from an iPhone community, I can easily say that the android community is by far more helpful in solving issues without making you feel like a complete idiot. I have been on following most of the popular ROM's here and find that the moderators keep a close eye on the forum postings and the Dev's have a long reputation of compiling there versions of ROM's for everyone. Stick to the forums and read before you flash so you can see what are the latest issues with which ever rom you decide to flash, to be honest i was more afraid of the IMEI deletion than security but have been flashing nightlys without any issue. My 2cents
The only thing I know that could happen is if you get a phishing text asking for your info but that's on on all smart phones like Android ios and wp lol

simple rule. If it seems fishy... it's probably phishy.
ItsMyAndroid: Yea... the IMEI deletion seems to be the most worrying thing. Making a backup was the first thing i did when it was possible (which was shortly after i got my S3).... and while everything was fine at first, eventually i did fall victim to it. And thankfully at that time there was also that workaround to get it reloaded onto the phone and make sure it wouldn't be lost again, which i did.

Above is the link to the 7100 ROM it looks amazing.... What does it take to make this flash-able onto our T Mobile devices... If it doesn't include a radio couldn't we just flash it? I am too scared to flash and try...its less scary to post a new thread ask you to try...haha. If a devo could shed some light or a brave soul could "test" it that would be great.

You can flash it. If you want to lose your radio. Unfortunately even if the 7100 rom does not include radio we have significant differences in our hardware that causes the radio not to work. Most likely something in the ril or kernel I believe (I could be wrong about the reasons). We dont have an AOSP kernel for the 7105 or tmo version.
Thank you sir... man, I really want that ROM. Was using XquiziT's ROM but the was having a couple problems with it and now the future for it looks bleak. (What I liked so much was the AOSP parts added in) Going to give Saurom a go now I guess.
Try cmenards stuff its very good. Or thst ptrme guy he is for real.
Stay away from animalmo and virus stuff...no good

Haha remember when "VIIRU§" tried to get donations to shake us down for a new computer? Now he's been AWOL for a week. And people got mad at me for being dubious about him :-/

Boy i sure hope we get a aosp rom like that. Why is their development so far ahead of us?
The international variant always gets devs quicker than us variants. you gotta realize its available to more people than the us variant. but we will catch up dont worry

I am TRUSTING you!!! Don't let me down.... LOL (Ref: "..but we will catch up..")
we need some devs solely working on what needs to be done for porting from one device to another. the fact that the ROM even functions on our device without modification should be a decent indicator of how close we are.
look in the US SGS3 section, 4 variants all with small differences and porting roms between those 4 is a piece of cake.
if someone could make a stand alone CWM.zip that we flash after a N7100 ROM that gave us back the radio it would be perfect. then we could just run any N7100 rom we wanted, no porting needed.

well as much as i love the note 2 if we don't get any aosp love soon ill probably swap devices with my wife. at least her sg3 has cm10/aokp. again not complaining, i just hope development picks up. i was thinking about getting a nexus 4 to tide me over but i hate lg. if anything i still hope the note 2 see's android 4.2.
I am curious. I have had CM/AOKP for years with my other phones. With this one seems a lot of the features I really love are here. What do you feel is missing from TW that AOKP/CM gives you. I am not a fan of TW colors but overall it is good (and I xan theme colors away). Only thing I really miss from AOKP is the wigets popup from nav bar.
Aosp is lighter and for me runs better.

I would agree on most older phones....this one I have not had any slowdowns. ....that I did not cause (changing files in system causes FCs sometimes lol)
Im not saying options are bad or that I would not flash AOSP but just wondering why people feel they need it.

Personally I really look forward to having a ROM with mass storage support. Since Google removed it from Android, I am no longer able to connect my phone to Linux for easy transfer of files and have to use all kinds of alternatives.
Not sure it can't be done on a TW based ROM, but CM/AOKP ROMs seem to more commonly introduce it like the one mentioned in this thread.

I second the motion for USB mass storage functions. Maybe wi-fi direct or other technology will supersede it, but it would be nice to have the capabilities meantime.

This I can understand I really wish google made ums/mass storage an option. I understand why they went with ums but options are always nice.
Reasons why I think they went UMS
1) ability to keep sdcard mounted while connected to computer
2) ability to mount /sdcard on /data/media making the internal sdcard the same as the internal data memory
3) most people people use windows
4) the option to turn it on/off may confise some people.
The only one I disagree with is number 4. Stupidd people will find a way to be stupid no matter how much you coddle them.
