[Q] What ROM do you guys use as your Daily Driver?
Also provide the hyperlink to the explanation/download page if you would be so kind for other users.
I'm still running the old Stock GB AT&T Rom, since it has no bugs, is smooth enough for me and doesn't need regular updates.
But as soon as Jellybean becomes Issueless, im sure to update my OS, altough it is its current state no where near a daily driver for me :< .
I use lite rom, is not in the list. is a great rom. I like JB but still i cant use as a daily
Where's CM10.1?
Look in the development forums

I think he meant where was it in the voting list. I presume that is what the (x) after the cm10 entry is meant to mean, though
I have been using cm 10.1 for a month. No issues. Look like a daily driver to me.

Paranoid Android, works like a treat!
I use Literom 0.9.0 ICS as my dd. Sadly None of the JB roms are fully working yet. I use Skype alot & none of them so far work with it.

The rom developers say that the Skype issue is a issue with JB, maybe one of them will do a workaround?
I tinkered with JB and there were some issues with it that didn't make it a DD for me just yet. I think I will end up with a LiteRom style ICS ROM until JB gets ironed out.
Moving back and forth between all these

Lastly all the new builds that i keep trying
So no daily driver for me. I'm thinking of buying another phone to keep it as a daily, people have started complaining about my phone being unreachable most of the times.
running stock ICS till one of the JB roms is 100% working... i flash JB roms every now and then to see progress, but none of them are ready for prime time yet... gettin close though!

You'll probably be waiting a very long time, as jb isn't 100% on any device. Its daily driver ready now. If your talking about Skype, that's not an issue, its an I wish. No one can make it compatible with every app on the market.

Yes, the rom is very fast and stable, but they say that the problem is not only skype, is in all app that makes call over wifi, for me for example, i use magicjack a lot. For a lot of people is ready to use as daily, but for other not for that issue.
But still the rom is great, i try it one day and like it a lot.

i would be happy with 85-90%... wish or not, having something work with atleast the popular apps is something to shoot for... that would be like he i made this rom for you all, you can use all the stock apps, look in the app store, but hey none of them work if you install them... kinda defeats the purpose...
before you start your rant, i can care less if skype works on the phone...

dman, it's not a problem with Skype, it's a problem in the ROM or kernel... if any app has the microphone open, ALL playback is distorted.
If you don't see it as a priority, that's allright, we understand. But this denial is insulting.

Enjoying using dman's JB but gotta take it off later this month when driving more. As a Californian with the handsfree law, without Bluetooth it's too awkward have use as a literal daily "driver" (oh the irony)
I'm on DMAN's UCLH2 ICS as a daily.
Tried a few jelly bean roms. If only there was a JB rom where the blutooth and camera worked I would be happy enough to use it as a daily.
I've been using Dman's PACMAN Rom pretty much since it came out Dec 17. With Covenant Kernel v3 and thegreatergood's work with keyboard lights, everything on my ROM seems to function.
I flashed recently to the new JB LiteKernel (Jan13) and everything is working like a treat. The only reason I left ICS is because I got tired of waiting for GPS to lock.
The only issues I have :
Some apps disappear after reboot, in Titanium backup I choose the option to move the app to internal storage and it stays.
Audio plays back way slow in Google Now, Skype, and RingCentral (roothorick is right, there is an issue in the rom or kernel.)
Takes a few clicks of the power button to get the phone to wake up for me and the screen to turn on.
Physical Keyboard in Browser, can't use any symbols or numbers.. real pain when entering passwords having to use virtual keyboard.
Battery .. I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of a charge. When I'm on the ski hill with everything disabled except GPS and AlpineReplay, I get great usage... Maybe its that I have 2 email accounts on Push or wifi is turned on all day long... on my Galaxy Ace, though, I'd get 17 - 20 hours no problem.
- Panoramic Camera works,
- Bluetooth works (and after a reboot I still see my pairings)
- Keyboard lights and bln lights work.
- All keyboard keys work exempt www. and .com which is documented.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the apps that disappear have something to do with the storage mounting... everything worked in is when the interal sd was /sdcard and external was /sdcard/external_sdcard .. Though this was in ICS, and I'm not a dev I can't confirm ... but I Just have a feeling.. perhaps bluetooth is in this as well ?
I played with rootbox, but some of the display settings (creating an mms with the phone in landscape I couldn't see the text box).
I've used LiquidSmooth and CAMP but I don't like that the battery stats weren't working.
I had used CM10 beta, liked it before switching to PAC but I really enjoy all the additional features of PACMAN vs. CM10 so ... here I am

The new voice assistance added into JB, i was wondering if it was possible to be ripped / spliced with ICS
Exactly like rshift said, there is a version for ICS, but it's not optimized whatsoever. Some but not all cards work, and I'm yet to receive a notification fro doing things outside of the house.
To top it all off, no, the voice input and Text to Speech are still broken because of what they think is a kernel issue, so don't expect anything useful/different from your normal Google Search until we get a Jelly Bean port of our own.
However, if you want to try it for yourself, go ahead and look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
The instructions are pretty straightforward, but make sure to create a backup like it says in case something goes wrong.
Google will definitely have to release this for ICS. How many people will even have a phone on 4.1 in the near future.
I just booted up a working version of 4.1 and was super sad to see that Google Now wasn't working yet...But they are working hard to get it going!

What he said.. Each are varying with what works and what does not. I am running CM10 on my main phone, its not bug free but I dont have any huge major issues. CM9 improves on some things but not everything. The only ones I would personally call rock solid are the CM7 builds.
Want stable use phone daily for nav and tether also what's best way to backup my Rom now ?

You're not being very forthcoming with your setup. Assuming you are already rooted...You can back up apps with titanium backup. You can back up the rom with your recovery (cwm, twrp, ext, etc...). For nav, any rom will do. For tether, it depends on if you want to use the built in CM tether, or a market app. I believe the CM7 roms have the built in tether working. CM9 and CM10 may require the use of an app like barnacle for tethering. Stability is in the eye of the beholder, but generally the CM7 roms will be most stable since they have "better" kernel source.
My real suggestion...spend some time reading around the threads because you are the only one that can really decide what will work best for you.
Okay sorry I was not very specific but yes I am rooted on android 2.3!4 and I just want make sure I have a good alternative to stock maybe with better performance to keep my itch for a new phone away

You could forgo CM all together and try UKB, its a great ROM and Nitsuj keeps it up to date.....

CM10 unofficial
I have always been a CM fan from my OG Droid days.
For backing up I tend to allow google to keep my apps up to date after a fresh install. (I feel like google owns me at this point anyway) I dont use Titanium much now. I do back up my SMS messages though with SMS restore.
For the Inc 2 i think CM9 is fairly fast, has FFC, is mostly stable, and i WAS able to tether with the stock app. A good option
But I use CM10 consistently at this point because 1. It is visibly faster than CM9 and 2. I am now hooked on google now. Its pretty awesome even though i have seriously considered reverting back to CM9 for the FFC (google hangouts and skype video calls worked for me well)
I would check out aeroevan's v13 kernel and 20120821-unofficial for a good option.
Okay I now a lot about Android but I'm lost for a second now what is ffc ?
Sorry I got it now
Okay so yes I just need to have everything backed up with my stock Rom
Anyone ever used uniflash ?

CM
If you want absolute stability and everything to work (including proper audio and camera) I would recommend cm7.2
If newer features like google now matter more, I would use cm10, aeroevans build is getting very good. Some issues with audio, with some workarounds, there are details in dev forms here and on rootwiki.
I still use cm7.2 because the audio is perfect, which is important to me, and the battery life is far superior at this point.
Thank you sounds good!

Hi All.
I wanted to get tasks rom. My only issue is that I really like the stock tw music and video apps. Is there a way for me to get those stock apps on my new aopk rom? Btw, I know about the repository of the stock apk, but will they work on aopk, if i put them in system? Thanks in advance
TW and AOSP (CM, AOKP, Liquid, etc) use entirely different frameworks. Therefore, TW apps are not compatible with Task's ROM.
I wondered about that as well. It seems the only way I can get clear audio through bluetooth streaming is with TW ROMs. A brutal catch 22 for me.

I am pretty positive the bluetooth is working perfectly on Task's latest release (2/15 JB 4.2.2) Might want to check it out.

It's not that. I love Task's ROM. I have no problem with the functioning of the music streaming. It's just I still get a little distortion even with the updated versions. I can't figure out what the problem is.

The issue is the open source drivers that AOSP roms use instead of the drivers built just for the chip. This is something that always has and always will plague the open source roms. While the open source files work they do not work the best. The chips OEM holds back just enough to make sure their files will always work the best. It is just something you learn to live with.

Anybody had any trouble keeping any apps loaded in memory on 4.2.2 and higher? Even miui, cause its 4.1.2 also, not touchwiz.
Particularly I'm talking about apps that have notification. My example being Voxer. On anything other than touchwiz, Voxer only gives me message notification if I've opened it recently. And after awhile....nothing. I need to open it to see if there's messages. This has happened on any 4.2.2 or 4.3 roms I've tried. As well as Miui. But on anything based off stock 4.1.2 touchwiz....Voxer works flawlessly. So I'm left to assume its getting pushed out of memory after awhile. I've tried the "keep resident" option in xposed, still not working.
So because I rely on Voxer with family and friends, I have been forced to run touchwiz roms as my daily drivers. It could obviously be a Voxer issue....tho Googling it comes up with no solutions, or even others that agree with my theory.
If its the memory management of aosp .....there must be other apps suffering the same issue?
Just thought I'd ask if anyone has seen this. Of course trying other apps is an answer, but has to have voxers features, and getting everyone to switch because of me will be a chore. LOL. Was hoping to try BBM, but I'm thinking they scrapped their android app with all the issues blackberry is having.
Thanks for any input.

Being android I thought for sure there's an app for that....LOL.....but haven't seen one. Xposed I guess, but it didn't work.
Think all I can do is try other apps. Probably partially voxers fault, and partially aosp.
Or just keep using touchwiz, which I do love the stability. Just miss some of the aosp frills and options.

From what i know Android has multitasking build in soooo it should be working. :silly:
4.1.2 touchwiz works just fine. Anything aosp ...4.2.2 and up.....nope. it works for awhile after its been open, but after awhile no more notifications until you go into it. I've tested that theory plenty. LOL
Ah well....with xposed, touchwiz isn't so bad. And a good launcher.

On 4.3 and 4.2 I can sometimes get a some what multi task like say I load the play store then load texting or a low memory game it'll resume where I left off but never with high memory apps or much actually 4.1.2 it works perfect no matter the app for me

I'm pretty sure 4.22 and up for us pushes some stuff out of memory. Maybe its the apps fault....poor coding....but it does happen. In fact, it isn't just Voxer ....I missed notifications with hey tell and whatsapp also. Again...they'd be fine for a bit after I just opened it....but later....no more notifications. I just jumped on the bbm bandwagon tho, so gonna test it on 4.3. Bbm has been flawless all day today on 4.1.2.
We'll see.

I know this is an old phone, I am going to turn them into gps systems, mainly of course they will be able to wifi. Download apps and such, but their main purpose will be for gps navigation.
So what is the best rom, one that everything works plus great battery life.
Phones won't have any cell service, just wifi, so cell phone service isn't important.
Nvm wrong phone lol

Stock rom is GB, so really not a good choice.
Best might be the wrong word, so what ics or jb romm is fully functional? I am looking at threads the ones I am looking at the camera doesn't work and so on.
Need camera to work, 4G not needed, but navigate without camera is useless.
