[Q] Best JB ROM for the DINC2? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I just rooted my DINC and have it S-OFF running TWRP recovery. I am interested in what everyone feels is the best Jellybean ROM for the DINC2 or if it is going to be best to just run ICS.

Jellybean has bugs in it that make me go to ICS. Stick with ICS. If you are looking for some ROMs.... Check out Aeroevan's ROMs. Or MIUI, UKB, etc... Just look around the DINC2 development forum

I've been running Aeroevan's CM10 for a while now, and I don't feel like it really has any significant disadvantages to ICS. It certainly feels like it runs smoother to me. It is also getting active development, and to me that counts for a lot.

I'm currently running Mimicry which is ICS, was on Aerovan's Unofficial CM10 before that. I absolutely loved CM10 and it was easily the smoothest ROM I've run on my Incredible 2, even smoother than Mimicry with the V6 Supercharge (which doesn't seem to do anything, at least in my experience). CM10 doesn't have FFC or Camcorder working though, and there's a sound issue where audio will only come out of the phone speaker (not the one on the back) until you plug headphones in and unplug. Only reason why I'm back on ICS.

Isn't there a rule against best ROM threads now? Even if there isn't, there's already about 20 in this forum, no need to open new ones for every possible situation.

The development forum is full of roms, it is best policy to sift through responses and replies in those threads and see what you will get and what you won't get from other experiences. But I will chime in and after having run this for the past 3 days, I am pleasantly pleased.

Cutting The Umbilical Cord From Gingerbread

Well, with the latest and greatest roms from some very talented and dedicated devs for the Dinc 2, I officially see no reason to reason to use CM7 or MIUI Gingerbread anymore. I was running both of these earlier in the week and in short order found my way back to ICS roms in very short order.
I can't wait till source fixes the few things that are left to fix, but I can live with what I have for now.
Thanks to the Dinc 2 Devs out there!!!
On gingerbread miui... I like it so much I don't see the point to switching. Everything is exactly how I want it... Plus not sure what is so much better about ics

IMO, not as smooth as it will be when HTC releases whatever the hell they are supposed to release, but running damn fine.
I hear a lot of good things about the ics Roms but I'm still not ready for ics. There are still to many bugs that I don't want to have to deal with. When HTC releases some source or we get a good leak ill jump on board.

Cm9 is great, and honestly is at a caliber that is worthy of daily use. Their aren't any issues I can point to, asside from what's known not to work, that I can say would prevent me from using it for good. That being said, I'm running condemned's cm7.2

I went back to miui gb, after a day of taking easter pix of the kids inside and outside of the house in the bright sun, the auto brightness not working is a killer.
I can't wait for Opensense4 to be as functional as AOKP and CM9. I use my camera on a daily basis, so I haven't made the transition yet to an ICS ROM as my DD (from SRZeus). I am actually about to give AOKP build 31 a go for a few days. I say if you like what you have, why change? But it is nice to see all the hard work being put into ROMs for a phone that doesn't have all the leaks yet.

So, ICS is incredibly stable on our devices now. Camera flash on AOSP is the only issue that I can think of. UKB is a fantastic sense 4 ROM that has a useable flash. Have we reached the "umbilical separation point" that the OP suggests?

What's the best ROM for the Ding in your opinion??

Soo. I've been flashing ROM's for a while now, well I've gone through a Sanyo zip, a kyocera milano, a ghetto ass "Sawee Pad" that i cant do crap woth really, then i got my incredible and ive gone from cm7 v13 to cm9 Kangs, to Peter Alfonso's Pete_Inc_03_10_12, to few others. The thing is, I really like ICS, but everything I've flashed in some way or another was unstable and I dreaded installing apps or anything else for that matter. So I've been back to cm7 v13 for about a month now.. what's the best overall most stable ICS ROM out there for the incredible? I don't care about fancy schmancy customizations. I want something basic and very stable (or just super awesome thats stable) I would love to hear your opinions, pros/cons. I will be researching most of the night I'm sure. I use my Ding for a lot of things, gaming/movies/music/inet surfing.. just wanna flash a new ROM and wanting your opinions. Thanks

I am on cm9 unofficial. Its highly stable, at least for me and fast too. Am running stock kernel.
Hope it helps you.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
If you keep the stock kernel, they are almost all stable. The different kernels will cause some phone to freeze when plugging and unplugging.
It's hard to keep it all straight but I believe you need a 3rd party video app to record video ( video cam illusions) in most ics roms. Build 38 and 39 of AOKP do not work on the dinc, both cm9's and the new abduction are really smooth. Just flash and enjoy, that's my motto.
Ah so that's why it didn't work. CM 7.2 is much, much quicker though.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA
Well after a few hours of reading, imma try and flash in-sensative minimalist sometime today. I know its not ICS, but it'll do. Imma keep reading and see what I come across, maybe ill try a different version of cm9 and see if I can find something more stable than what I had.

I've been using Hanger's Abduction for months now. Installed the latest last night and each release gets better. Everything seems to work for me (I don't use the video camera so I can't talk about that). Previous versions there was some hanging when unplugging from charger, and a few random quick reboots. So far so good on latest but it has only been 7 hours...

For all out stability without any misfeatures, CM7 w/ stock kernel. If an alternate kernel is stable for you, then great.
That said, invisiblek's ICS builds are getting there, but there's still some weirdness here and there.
I've heard that the latest evervolv ICS alpha is really nice, and they've got the video camera working -- I haven't tried it myself though. Videocam Illusions just records in MJPEG -- you've got to be desperate for ICS + videocam to want to use that.
Throwing my vote in for pures anthem ROM. Buttery smooth, fast, and stable. Oh, and pretty. only issue I have is that sometimes 3g disappears, and a restart is required to fix it.
Sent from my Incredible using xda app-developers app
I would love to be on ICS ROM as well...but I have some misgivings about it. Even if some ICS ROMs may be stable, from what I see, they are still slower and grab more battery then our GB ROMs. That's a deal breaker right there. I don't understand why people want ICS soooo badly on their Dinc if its gonna be like that. Stable is great...but its gonna hog more battery
I'm on the latest RC of CM7.2 with Chad/Tiny Incredikernel and couldn't be happier. Stable, Fast, and battery efficient.....
I have an extended battery and get the same or better. Dinc accessories are getting cheap on amazon. I can get about 18 he with 3hr + of screen on.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
I agree with previous posts about ICS roms having poor battery life. From what I've tried, they do not have anywhere near as many features as cm7. If it is not possible for cm9 to run efficiently on the dinc I hope development on cm7 continues into the future. I run the latest cm7 nightly with incredikernal, v6 supercharger, kickass kernalizer, adrenaline shot and 3g turbocharger scripts. I also updated the radio to the new one in the general section. My phone has never performed better

Battery life is subjective and different people may have different capacity batteries at different points in their lifespan and different usage levels. I for one think it's decent, maybe not as good as cm7 but probably better than the galaxy nexus.
Oh and not to mention different screen types, AMOLED can drain faster than SLCD.
Which ICS rom is the most stable and has the most features working?
The CM9 nightly, well at least I believe so.

That's what I was leaning towards, thanks. I also am interested in the Touchwiz 5.1.2 rom and ParanoidAndroid, though the latter seems to not be ready yet (phone errors and fc'ing).
It's a little overwhelming coming in as a noob. I'm wanting to put some life back into my dinc.
Would the latest CM9 nightly be the best start? Anything I should know about? Is flashing a new kernel worth it, or should I stick with stock? So far I followed a guide here to get root, but I'm still S-On for now until I decide which rom to go with..then I plan on downgrading to get S-Off, flashing a rom, and updating my radio.

first thing first, get S-Off in your DInc .
idk the best start to try a rom, but maybe u can try an aosp GB which is CM7 or miui.
but if ur very interested in ICS UI then CM9 all the way. there is a lot of CM9 mod such as invisiblek's, abduction, kang's, and others, and there is also a combine cm9 + miui such as miui v4 ics.
its up to you which one u will pick, or ur gonna try them all (like me lol) just remember to make a nandroid backup.
happy flashing rom's

by the way, I was S-ON for a while, flashed an ICS rom, and had to go through ****s to get S-OFF. You can look near the end of scottys guide to see You can be as noob as possible, once u get CWM recovery, its as simple as putting the rom on your SD card, then going into recovery and selecting to flash it. I would recommend tiny's incredikernel HWA RC1

S-off'd and flashed the 7/5 cm9 nightly last night. Wow. Its like I have a new phone.
Couple things. Text input lags a bit. Anything to speed that up? Performance is pretty good overall but I feel like it could be better. Battery life seems to be on par with stock (buying an extended soon cause I'm still on the original battery). I also seem to be running a bit warmer than stock. Will a new kernel help?

What's wrong with us? The 90s are over!
I'm in kangdemnation .4, but I must admit you guys are right about functionality & reliability. ICS runs great. Can't wait till all the bugs are squashed.
Not a huge sense fan (used to be). It feels sort of heavy to me. TSM UKB rocks, tho.
PA is way cool, but haven't really gotten over the learning curve yet.
I'll probably go back to CM7 at some point. The Reverend mentioned CCM7 1.5 with aero's .8 was a good build.
The nice thing about flashing constantly is that you learn about options that you never knew existed & often can find ways to make them work on other roms. The downside is that your wife gets pissed cause you're on the phone too much! :banghead:

All i really care about is a working camera and i don't really use fcc. So i'm on 07/30 aero jb ROM. Battery life is phenomenal and i haven't had any issues. I realize that camcorder & fcc doesn't work, but i'm fine with that. Aero's cm9 build worked great too, so i would recommend that for camcorder and FCC. I tried the latest sense based ICS roms and didn't care for them , but that just my opinion.
I loaded up a "final rom flash",even though I've said that a hundred times, I'm running cm9 with aeros .12 kernal without the adreno drivers cooked in. Instead I flashed the ics adreno 200 drivers, along with Google now, agps patch, and its probably my daily until jb gets a little more stable.this combo is solid on my phone. Although any of the ics roms are equal in my eyes in different respects , there all great lol
I've been using Skyraider Zeus for many months now and it has been great! Long battery life and really smooth. I used CM7.2 by CondemnedSoul before Skyraider and that rom is excellent as well
I tried ICS roms but I couldn't live with bugs. I like complete functionality

I didn't know if the adreno drivers that got put into aeros kernel were the same as the ics adreno 200, I really don't know what the difference was and that's what I wanted to see since I thought the other drivers were for jelly bean, I figured the ics ones would be better for ics, but I rarely have graphics issues. I'm pretty sure i asked that same question in one of the inc2 threads lol

ICS Update

When is the update for the DINC2 comming out anyone hear anything?
Sent from my Droid Razr Maxx using Tapatalk 2
We have a thread about this, but it's admittedly long and off-topic.
In short, it's not looking good. HTC said we'd get the update in August, but it appears Verizon is holding it back. Our sister phone, the Incredible S, has been updated to ICS and even has kernel source available. On the Incredible 2 all we've got is a leaked testing build courtesy of nitsuj17. At this point, I doubt we'll see an official OTA at all, but HTC and Verizon haven't yet said they won't.
You can try a custom ROM for ICS or Jelly Bean, but without 3.0 kernel source we won't get ROMs that are fully optimized for our device (battery life, drivers, etc). I personally use Aeroevan's unofficial port of CyanogenMod 9. It mostly works, but the battery life is poor and text occasionally looks garbled (requiring a reboot). He also has a very unofficial port of CyanogenMod 10, but that's an unofficial port of a custom ROM that's still in alpha, with a hacked up Gingerbread kernel. If you use that one, don't be surprised if there are problems.
****ing Dix.

I've been using UKB for the last week or so, and the battery life is pretty much the same as it was before I rooted.
Never tried ukb but I'm not a fan of sense. I'm running cm7 mrom. Very stable and good battery life. Cm9 and 10 are nice but battery life is understandably bad. Not sure what other non sense roms are out there.

Do us a favor and let us know where that Rom is? Our developers do an absolutely amazing job with the Inc2, no doubt about that. But they will all admit that their jobs would be many times easier and the end product better if we had an actual OTA ICS update with source released.

I've been using CM roms since my droid eris days.since having the Dinc2 been with cm7.2 and am now using MROM 1-0.2012
Am happy with this rom as stability is my number one factor when considering a custom rom. And it has some eye candy but still is smooth and fast. I am pretty vanilla with my phone i just want it to make calls, reliable sms and mms, and take good pictures. All the play stuff I do on my tablet.
Anyways my question is what are the biggest advantages/drawbacks to running and ICS or Jelly bean rom like paranoid android. Again call quality/stability and camera functionality are my number main concerns.

Well for one, no FFC as with most JB roms i've seen posted. I haven't had any issues with the call quality, it's pretty awesome. When I first flashed it i did however have an issue (that stopped on it's own) when someone would call me and the answer option would pop up, i had slide, i'd slide it answer but it would decline it. but it stopped. the pictures are fine, there are other roms with better camera quality though. i just like it for the customization of the apps mainly

Well I know which one I'm going to try first, but an 'Is is worth it' I think is easy to answer. Everyone can tell that there is too much lag or lack of response to be useable. That is what I was asking. See, I was told by my manufacturer that my Rezound was not capable of running Jelly Bean (Which is a lie, because I am running it), and the Incredible has much lower specs.
Anyways, I'm sure I'm going to try it. I was just seeing if anyone else had, had they experienced a miserable time at it. Not looking for suggestions.
There is a bit of lag since the inc is not meant to run JB. It can obviously, but it's not meant to. Not a lot of lag, but it is there, and the features of JB outweigh the lag for most. Most inc power users, I'd wager, are running some version of JB as a daily driver, including me. The main ones who don't use JB are the ones that need the video camera to work.
In summary: if you don't need the video camera to work perfectly, yes it's worth it.
I am running Tiny's cm10.1 and it is running very good just WiFi and camera and some crazy things lol

Thanks guys. I finally found my old dinc and eris (missing in boxes after a move) and want to mess around with different ROMs. I run Infected on my Rezound and see its now available for incredible. It is a sickly modified CM based ROM.
Part of me wants to mess around even with some older flavors, like Gingerbread, Honey Comb, or even Eclair. Just for nostalgia.
Thanks again, I'll post back how it runs for my use when I have a chance to use it for several days.

I've had my dInc since release and have tried many different roms. Infection is absolutely fantastic and buttery smooth. I cannot recommend it enough. it brings a new lease on life to this phone.

I can 2nd that. Tried the first Jellybean for dinc's I could find, and it was slow and problematic, then I found Infection's Jellybean 4.2.2 on these threads--and it really works, like the phone was designed for it.

So you praise one ROM that is built off another ROM but don't think about the people that worked to make jelly bean and CM10/CM10.1 possible on the dinc in the first place?

I wasn't aware that saying what ROM worked for me, was in any way dising the people whose hard work made previous and other ROMs possible.

You're right. Infection is good. A lot of it is the slimmer ROM and tweaks that helps it. Probably the tweaks especially the animations. I might have been a little off color with that comment.

Well from what I read, you're like a god here, Tiny from all the amazing work you have done, and are doing, especially with the dinc. Please forgive my very amaturish remarks!
