Develop Bugs

Just got root-Which Rom to Run

Hey guys I just got root and installed Clockwork Mod and backed up everything. I'm just wondering what ROM does everyone think is best. I prefer AOSP but I can't seem to find what bugs are exactly in CM7 for INC2. Also thanks to rivera82falcon for the extremely helpful/clear instructions on how to root.

I'm running cm7 nightly 39 and so far I haven't seen any bugs or had any reboots whatsoever. And I'm also running tiamat. 1.1 and am overclocked to 1.5 ghz and the battery life is even better than it was stock. Noticeably better.

I use OMFGB with Tiamat 1.0.4. I also tried CM7 before. It really is a matter of preference. Give them all a shot and see what you like best.

Thanks for the responses I went with CM so far so good. I haven't had any issues so far.

I'd say CM7 Latest Nightly + Tiamat Kernel for the best setup IMO, if you want sense go with TrueLefty or RMK's roms.

I've used CM7, MIUI, and Incredible Sensation
Each one was stable, and each has it's ups & downs...if you like AOSP the CM7 nightly train is great!

I am using MIUI currently with the Tiamat 1.1 kernel. Phone flies. Haven't noticed any issues so far, but I am pretty minimalistic. Tried CM7 nightly 40 and Virtuous and they both performed great.

I had issues with incredible sense and the mail app. Did anyone else?

I've used cm7 on previous devices and so I stuck to that. Haven't had ant issues on tiamat 1.10. And at about 12xx oc

There were some changes to it, go visit www.miui.us and check it out. Great rom, runs absolutely amazing on the Inc 2, and the support for it is 2nd to none.

+1 for Truelefty's ROM. Very lightweight, zero problems. Not bad for a 14 yo dev!

Omfg with tiamat kernel runs beautifully

is cm7 the only rom not using sense?

OMFGB, OMGB, MIUI, and CM7 are all AOSP roms (without sense).

OG Vanilla rom!

Lots of roms...suggestions?

I am putting a custom rom on my wife's phone for the first time. She doesn't really do anything major on her phone. She has gingerbread and it just got rooted. Any suggestions on a good rom to use? Thanks.

Besides being in the wrong section, miui is a great asop rom. If you want a little sense 3.0 check out newt's sensation. Rmk has a debloated version of the latest ota gingerbread if you fancy something more stock.

besides why she needs a custom rom?
I have been trying alot of these out last couple days but i havent tried the sense 3.0 been having best luck with miks new sensation 1.1 though

If you need GSM for international travel, select carefully. Most ROM's don't support it well or at all in many cases. If you are CDMA only, your choices are more solid.

I've tried miui and cm7 and in my opinion cm7 is just a snappier and better ROM. Just my opinion though

CM7? Which one is that?
BTW, as to why she might want a custom rom, speed...right?

Really all of the roms out now are pretty nice...
Being for a girl I'd think shed lean toward liking miui or a sense 3.0 based roms like virtuous or mikroms incredible sensation. The latest version from newtoroot (incredible sensation) has given me the best results. Very fast and stable and newt has been very responsive with the few quirks. by quirks I mean that his version is based on sense 2.1 so there was more he had to do to get the framework to align. It is definitely good enough to be a daily driver now.
Cm7 and omgb/omfgb are probably the fastest roms out. I really like omfgb combined with the tiamat kernel but cm7 is similarly great with more customization options (most of which your wife would likely never use). Omgb/omfgb is very back to basic, pure Android experience.
Rmks gingersense has been mostly my go-to though. Similar to stock, debloated, customizable. Pretty much a set it and forget it option with no issues. The only thing that aosp based roms have that I have an issue with is the incall volume. Tiamats kernel improves this a lot but still not quite where stock sense is in volume level.

What ROM are you using on HTC Evo 4G?

Since us Evo 4G users can root our phones, what ROM are you using? What Rom is better/ more features 4G working etc???
With the new update is anyone using CM7 7.0.3?? What Roms are updated using the GB update?
What are you using?? Just curious and wanting to see the responses on the best of the best?

AOSP all the way.
CM7 latest nightly + Honeybread theme + Supercharger Script + Tiamat kernel 4.07 -75mv

Its definitely personal opinion really.
Most roms support 4G, etc. IIRC, MIUI doesnt support 4G yet but its in the works.
The choice mainly boils down to Sense vs AOSP. Sense 3 is quite appealing, visually (though I only played with it for about 10minutes =p). All in all, each has their pros.
Try out a few and see which You like the most.

Please stop saying it's in the works. It isn't, and won't be until they release the source code or they implement 4G in China. I'm not trying to be nasty, but it's just not happening anytime soon from what we know.
I use MIUI, and it's the best even without 4G.

I use CM7 rom, never look back.

MIUI
I use MIUI just because it's simple and it has a build-in tether, but don't like it because it doesn't support 4G and probably a whole lot of other stuff.

I am using this too. I was using the synergy rls but it became real unstable out of nowhere. I cannot blame the ROM it might have been the v6 script and 3g script. I have never had an issue with MikG. And I just 86'ed the scripts.
Sent from a long time ago in the future.

I'm currently using CM7 RC1, with tiamat 4.07. Love it but some battery drain.
My eye has been out on the new 3.5 sense roms tho.

SalvageMod 1.4 with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel with v6 supercharger installed.
I love it!

I'm new to rooting and ROMs but I'll just throw out my noob/extremely novice experience over the past 2 weeks.
I've flashed CM7, Synergy, Kinged Shooter, and now I'm using SOS 1.9.
The only one I didn't keep on for at least 24 hours was the Shooter ROM . I had all sorts of lag issues (admittedly it was probably something I did and not the developer). CM7 is nice and I wouldn't hesitate to go back. I LOVED Synergy. Very nice ROM. It's a big ROM with lots of nice add ons and features. SOS is great if you want bare bones stock ROM. It has been incredibly fast, no lag and battery life isn't budging in spite of my increased activity re-installing apps/themes and what not.
I'll probably stick with SOS for a bit since it seems to be running so smoothly. If I go back to one it will most definitely be Synergy. It's been my favorite so far.

I'm using Nocturnal Bliss beta v.FIVE from King, Team Nocturnal, and several others who I can't name off the top of my head with ChopSuey 9.2.6 for the kernel. It's Android 2.3.4 with 3.5 Sense. It runs a lot better than any Sense 3.0 ROMs I've tried.
I don't think 4g works(don't have a lot in my area so not as important)
USB doesn't work(I use WiFi Explorer pro or recovery mount)
Need to partition SD card for more room(Darktremor's a2sd baked in)
Other wise it is a good ROM.

Am surprised I have kept it for so long as I am an avid AOSP fan, more particularly SalvageMod. Although with the Chop Suey kernel this thing is killing for battery life and smoothness. Just ran v6 super charger script today, hoping to notice a difference i'm battery even more.

Can anyone verify this? Also where did you hear this from?

Wow!! Thanks for the responses. So many difference of opinions but that's what makes this site great..so the MIUI I keep seeing a debate about 4G....Ive read a lot on it very nice Rom....CM7 is what I use the 7.0.3 release for Evo. I'm using Tiamat kernel. Is there a better kernel for CM7? I thought of flashing the sbc kernel by Tiamat...I'm going to check out other roms as well.....this is fantastic. what is so different about MIUI?? It looks like an iPhone set up for android. Is it a small Rom or does it just come down to personal preference?

XDA: What are you using?

What Rom and Kernel is everyone using?
Curious as to know exactly what people on XDA are running on their OG EVO 4G.
I've found Decks 2.3.7 GB is the best GB Rom IMO but it is getting old, as in age.
*Best GB?+Kernel?
*Best ICS?+Kernel?
*Best Sense?+Kernel?
I would personally rather run ICS but I am so anal about my phone that the screen flicker when turning the screen off really aggravates me.
Just trying to get a feel which Rom is the "best" for you & why that is?
Thanks!

Does it have the screen off bug like all ICS's do?

Nope. this is a solid daily driver. Only the FFC and 4G are inop. barcodescanner doesn't work for some reason and no HWA yet, but still smooth and fast as hell.
I have a guide for it. Click the Evo guide in my signature and at the end of the Original Post is a link to ICS MIUI Setup.
You may want to wait until after this weekend's update

I'm using MikG 3.11 with Underworld 0.3 kernel. Love the battery life I get but the kernel does make it a little laggy for some reason.

Currently using Shooter E3D and Underworld v0.4
I Have no issues, runs very smooth. Flash many a rom, always come back to Shooter.

Are you sure it doesn't have the screen off problem? Maybe its just my phone that doesn't exactly like ICS, there are so many ICS Rom's out there I cannot keep up with them. I will take your advice and wait until this weekends update and give it a shot.
Appreciate the feedback everyone!
Keep the Evo OG!

SOS X Odex with Underworld v0.4 non-SBC. Runs great, with the best battery life out of any set-up I've tried. Would get even better battery life if you were willing to run the SBC version of Underworld.

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.

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.

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?
