So I'm asking for sort of a review of smoothness and speed of the new fd roms compared to fc18 or fc22. Thanks for your input?

Hold off until fd05, which has already been leaked but not leaked widespread yet.

Exactly why I said hold off. There hasn't been a noticeable improvement since the mid fc15 builds.

I had some problems with FD02 but it may have been applications. Some applications would freeze the phone or sometime just bringing up messages would lock the phone up. I would just have to wait for lock screen, then unlock and see what crashed. The older versions seem slightly more stable in my experience.
If you are working fine, stable with FC22 there's no reason to be flash crazy. Right now they all have their own issues that seem to be a bit different for everyone.
Wait until a Beta finally shows up, or you hear a lot of rave about a certain new leak and try then.. but right now not 'much' is changing from one leak to another.
huge difference the fd05 is the smoothest release yet
definitely flash
I normally don't upgrade til at least three builds newer are out if that makes sense. Unless there is a huge improvement. I am on FD02 and will most likely stay on it until FD10 is released, if it is released. If you are on a setup right now and its working for you. Hang tight. Cause as soon as you flash FD02/05 then FD10 will be out. Just my thoughts on it.
Are you guys talking about Modem or Kernel?
I have been running the FD10 Modem and Kernel on a FD02 build for the last few days and honestly it seems silky smooth for me. No scripts or undervolting at this point and so far I am getting good battery life out of it too.
I'm on calkulin's E4GT2 v.1.4. (FD02). The only bugs I've seen are that some apps aren't compatible, and the sound notification issue. It doesn't support boot animations and i wouldn't chance flashing any themes. It does support different launchers like go launcher so you can theme it that way. Other than that it is very smooth and solid with EVERYTHING else working including hotspot. Good battery life and no over heating. Came from blazer 4.1 which is awesome and very customizable but caused some battery issues. Although there is a stick FD10 posted in the Dev section, there aren't any custom Roms running on FD10. So I'm gonna stick with Calkulins fdo2 until i see something better. I have tried the goodness and its also good but only 4g hotspot. I need 3g so it was a no.go. Hope this was helpful and as far as SOLID ROMS GO Calkulins are the beast! Thanks calk for all you do. Always go with him first. Sent from my E4GTouch myself oh baby i love this phone

im on aokp with fd02 kernel and modem, best battery life i have ever seen on my device, also the smoothest ive seen, but its the only 4.0.4 i have ran. The fd02 modem doesnt seem all that great for me though, having more problems in low coverage areas than before. as in it didnt work where it used to kinda barely work.

I use AOKP Build 40. It has the most features but it is slightly unstable.
I haven't messed around with it on my Inc lately. But I did note that a lot of rims didn't manage to support camcorder. Considering the good camera. I dislike xD

Been using this, and I've had a pretty good experience. Really excited about PureMotive's and Albinoman's work on jelly bean, however: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751992
I really really liked this rom, but the phone is completely broken so I had to go back to GB. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736971
I'd also love a recommendation on a good ICS rom.
Any of the CM9 variants, you can use a third party camcorder if you need it. AOKP has a few more features, but they're not as well implemented imo and it's randomly unstable.

AOKP is badass but the battery was so bad I couldn't use it long term. I'm trying drk.hd CM9 right now for a hopefully better battery life.
Evervolv's ics ROM works great for me. Camera works, never had a random reboot, and very smooth.

My vote goes to Linaro CM9 or the other CM9 by hd.drk (although I had some battery issues with it, my buddy has not). Both are snappy and 99% problem free.
Which (if any) 3rd party camcorder apps are any of you using?
I know it's a phone, not a camera, etc etc etc, but with a toddler running around the house there is almost always chance for video gold and the phone is always nearby.
Thanks.

Is evervolv a miui rom, if not is there any screen caps from it or where to get the rom
Running evervolv 2.2.1a3 now and have just switched from MIUI v4.
You cant go wrong with either rom. I will say evervolv is running much smother for me than miui did. Video works better too. But you can beat the theming with miui. Though I hear that is broken on the latest port.

I've read quite a few posts mentioning this but haven't seen any solutions. I'm running Phantom Blazer's ICS ROM with AGAT's newest kernel. Are all ICS ROMs facing this problem or this is specific to Phantom's ROM? If there isn't a solution to this I'll need to go back to GB, I've missed some important emails from work due to this problem.
how did you flash to blazers rom? Did you do a full wipe or no data, I've been seeing a lot of posts about ics bugs where the poster tried to do a nodata flash, this is known to cause lots of wide ranging issues... personally I'm currently on mijjazs goodness but run aokp and cm9 regularly as well, I've not had any issues with wifi disconnecting, and believe me I would notice, I use wifi for most everything as sprint data is mostly unuseable in my area
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Well, one possible solution for now may be to try another wireless router if you have one. I don't know the root cause of this problem, but I do know I had horrible disconnect issues at my girlfriends house after updating (to stock rooted FF18), but no issues at mine. She has a Netgear router, I have an Airport Extreme. they both relatively new. I brought my previous Airport Extreme to her house and set it up. Now I no longer have disconnects at her place either. This doesn't fix whatever is wrong with the phone, but it works...
I have tried all the roms every 1 of them! with a fresh install and wipe everything and wifi disconnects on every 1 of them
I.also did a fresh install using caulkalin's format all zip. My router is an older linksys. Never had any Wi-Fi issues with it on my galaxy s1(fascinate). Anyone know of any developers here have taken a look at what might be causing this?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
it definitely has something to do with the rom, when I am on e l 29 my phone never disconnects, when I flash any I c s rom, I get random disconnects.
Its ff18 TW....I used aokp and now cm9 but didn't have this issue. I did flash quite a few roms besides these and it always happened on tw based roms only.

Thanks, Dante. I'm running AOKP and wifi disconnect seems to be fixed now. Unfortunately battery life isn't nearly as good but I'll do some reading and hopefully find a way to improve it.

Yeah happens to me too. But only when I have a weak wifi signal. Doesn't happen at home. Maybe due to the crappy routers in free wifi.

You can also try cm9...chris41g built a kernel for it where you can now control the governor and processor. Battery life has been awesome, plus no wifi issues. Too bad the kernel doesn't work on aokp yet.

Nobody really answered your question as to whether this was a 'known' ics issue. And I'm not going to suggest that you 'buy a new router just in case'. What I will tell you is that I have the same problem, but unfortunatley I'm on the same ROM as you, so I can't rule that out. But there's definitely an issue and it is definitely associated with ICS; would be interested in what non-Blazer folks are seeing.
I've been on AOKP for a full day now. Still no problems with Wi-Fi and I may have spoken too soon about the battery. I'm at 12 hours at 56% with 3 hours screen time which is a lot better than I got on my s1. I love all the options on this rom too. Loving having my 4 way lock screen back.

In case you're still seeing this problem - I switched to Blend ICS FF18 / Goodness 16.6 and the wi-fi problem would seem to have disappeared. I suspect the issue is/was somewhere in the Blazer ROM. I'd ask if the dev was working on it, but probably get flamed; that ROM hasn't been updated in a while anyway, so you might want to try Blend anyway.
I am having the same issues. My Wifi goes up and down every 5 seconds which kills my battery. Mine started on stock phone on GB 2 weeks ago on EL29 (phone was not modified or rooted). I was hoping rooting and flashing to CM9 would fix it. It has not, I have tried multiple modems as well. Any suggestions?
I have a 4 month old NetGear router. All other Wifi devices in the house are working fine.
Its probably just kernel related or router issue, been running blu kuban ics which is touchwiz based and never had a wifi issue. The kernel is sourced build by rujeluss22 with it's own modified recovery based on agat's recovery. Try it out, you guys might like it.

So you think it's the modem? Is the modem even responsible for WiFi? I though it was responsible for cell connection only
I'm curious if someone out there in dev land can explain why custom ROM (ics/jb) 4g is so poor compared to stock ROM 4g.
For example, the FI03 stock ROM or any GB ROM will consistently get 8-15mb/s...whereas custom ROMs like CM9/10 have speeds of 600kb/s max. (Some claim the FI03 modem fixes this issue but this has proven to be untrue by many users)
I know I'm not alone in this category as many other users are report the same speeds as well. Is it kernel related?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I believe something in the kernel is throttling 4G. I know chris41g is working on it with his kernel, which is why 4G has been borked in his latest experimental CM9 builds.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Dchibro is correct - it is the the kernel - not the rom - not the modem.
Both above correct, but it is more than just the Kernel .. I asked in a FI03 thread about the removal of the cap and was told the changes are in kernel and in several places in the ROM itself too.
Just happened to me after flashing a new kernel in.
Went from getting 8mbps down in the office to 1.1mbps lol. I think I'll be going back to stock.
Does anyone know when it started getting throttled though. I was sure 4g was fine on cm9 up until a couple months ago....

I just flashed back to stock FI25 kernel from depository and my 4G speeds are back to normal. Was previously on AGAT's.
Theres a vid on youtube that the CM team did and I believe Cyanogen talked about Sprint phones in general saying they was harder to maintain due to there set up with 4g radios.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
yeah I was getting low 3gish speeds on 4g with agat 5.4 kernel with FI03 stock rooted rom. Switched to his FI03 kernel repack and 4g speeds went back up.
I think it's only really been fixed since FI03 came out and 5.4 isn't based on FI03 source?
I get 8.8 MB/s with BluKuban
Anyone know which kernal to use for CM10 or any JB Roms that wouldn't screw up 4g speeds?

I've seen in the Epic4g forums that they've gotten the Nexus S modem and RIL to work with their device. From what I understand, the AOSP Nexus modem works better on custom AOSP roms for the Epic4g than the stock ones. Any idea if this would be feasible on our device, maybe from the GNex?
I don't know, just a blind shot in the dark. Below is a link to a thread discussing patches to make this work, if anybody wants to look a little further into it.

If everything else seems to be working fine, and this is happening on all ROMs, then it is probably either your phone or the battery.
Take the battery out and spin it on the table. If it spins like a top that means it's puffed. A puffed battery is shot get new one. In fact, a puffed battery is potentially dangerous, it means it's internally damaged. It's possible for them to catch fire.
If it's not the battery, it's the phone, get a warranty replacement.
My wife's phone was doing this on multiple ROMs (including stock), and the battery is fine. We have a new phone on the way right now in fact.

How is that even possible? I'm in a high 4g coverage area and the fastest 4g I've gotten was 2.2ish, with blu kuban as well.
I'm... really confused. Someone please enlighten me.
Because the EVO was made for GB ROMS. The hardware is compatible with GB.
You can load a custom ICS or JB ROM from the many available here but I don't think they have HWA. They are also not 4G compatible and if you have good 4G in your area then it does not make any sense as to why you would go with a non 4G ROM. Also, FFC and a bunch of other stuff does not work with ICS or GB. The processing power of the EVO is also a little weak for the animations of ICS or JB.
^ This.
Perhaps if HTC had ever released the source code for the drivers for things like 4G and the FFC, ICS and JB ROM's would be more popular and more people would use them. As it stands now, Gingerbread doesn't have any of the above issues-it just works, plain and simple.

Ics and JB don't have hard ware acceleration?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
ICS and JB certainly do. But not for this phone. Drivers have to be compiled to specific hardware. To do that, the ROM maker will either need to build the driver from scratch, or have the source code and make modifications. HTC never released the source code for the drivers, so no hw accel for ICS and JB. You cant use the same drivers across two different OSes, even for the same harware. Oh well...

Even though I live in an area with great Wimax coverage, I never use it. It kills my battery so quickly. That's why I'm trying out an ICS ROM right now and I've also been trying out some JB ROMS. Had to drop JB because Bluetooth wouldn't work right in any of the ROMS I used.
Long story short, if it wasn't for the advanced notifications and status bar in ICS, I wouldn't ever use anything other than Decks Reloaded on my Evo 4g. Try it. It's so damn smooth.
