Hi,
I noticed the last thread about stable roms was in November, and I am new to picking roms as my last phone I just used CM.
I am wanting to know what the most stable/recommended ICS rom is, and the same for Jelly Bean if any exist?
Phone hasn't been rooted or anything yet, so hopefully something with a clear guide also.
My opinion, the most stable jelly bean is VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.1 - v4.5
cheers
It says its pre alpha? Are all the Jelly Bean ones quite new?
If this your first time, try some uncomplicated roms first. Like froyo roms.

CM7.2 would be a good place to start.

I've done complicated roms before, its just I want a rock solid stable rom, but would prefer ICS or Jelly Bean over GB for the performance and looks. But at the minute Cm7.2 is my safety net if I can't find anything that is definitely stable before then.
There's really only one 4.0 ROM for Desire with working everything on XDA and that is the modded Qiss Rom here:

I don't see how anyone could have a problem with asking advice. Most roms either included a non updated not working list, or don't have one at all. The last thread of this type was in November. I don't see any harm, but w/e really, I have my answer now anyway.

I remember seeing one much more recently, and the mod post asking that any further "which Rom is the best" type threads reported"
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
The reason why the moderation team generally dislike best rom threads is because everyone uses their phones in a different way so what rom works well for one may not be the same for others. They're to many variables to say one rom is hands down the BEST rom. Last a lot of times these threads turn into flame wars between fan boys of different devs.
Your best experience is going to come from trying a few roms out and deciding for yourself what works best for you. Enjoy the journey instead of just trying to get to the end.
Since you also stated you have already gotten your answer this will most likely fall on deaf ears.

Most of the roms seem to have retained Sense 4. And the Sense roms seem to be updated more frequently.
I like the new Sense but want to try something different. I'm coming from Android Revolution which I like very much.
Want a ROM with lots of improvements to optimize performance, smoothness and speed, based on the latest ICS version, with bone-stock APKs and no bloatware.
Suggestions? What are my best couple options even....?
I'd recommend LeDrOiD and Android Revolution HD, both are updated frequently. But since HTC have not released any new software lately, there isn't much for the developers to do.
Both ROM can have Sense removed, LeDrOiD is easier in this regard.
It seems kernel is currently the hot development area.
Edit, posted irreverent info.
Thanks! I was asking about ROMS not Launchers though.
Ideally I would like a sense-less ROM that came with the stock ICS launcher (even over Apex or Nova).

try JDROID rom then or check the rom thread and see if they give the sense-less option in aroma installer..most roms now do that anyway. or just use rom-cleaner no-sense version and it does the business for you anyway
Or you could try cyanogen mod 9?

just by reading the changelog for me there was a few options there missing..plus the closed source attitude kinda put me off that rom anyway of Trips..the guys in the development section here are doing a far great work and are alot more helpful...so i would wait on those guys to get it up and running
I thought camera and wifi hotspot weren't working on CM9 - I use both every day.
Camera worked for me. Hotspot I didn't try, but it's the only thing listed as not working on Trip's build of CM9

Fair enough, and I don't disagree much. In Trips defense, he seems to have a rather large following singing his praises.
I only installed it for testing out GPS. I've gone back to ARHD with my own tweaks to trimming Sense.

No one is saying anything bad about him, just the guys here are open with the code that makes anyone able to help, stuff gets done faster.
Back on topic, with leedroid, pkmn and arhd(I think) you can remove sense and all its widgets and run any launcher you like.

If you're sick of Gingerbread (like CM7), there are plenty of stable and feature-ful Ice Cream Sandwich (including CM9) ROMs to try in the development forums. Aside from CM, there are also AOKP and AOSP ROMs to try. There are 4 decently stable JellyBean (including CM10) ROMs in the development forums as well, including 2 AOKP JellyBean ROMs. I strongly advise that you start by searching in the development forums yourself.
Additionally, I'm pretty sure you're posting in the wrong forum; this belongs in Q&A, not Development.

There is a sticky at the very top of the forum that indexes all the available ROMs and links to them; doesn't get much simpler than that.
I have had no problems with either bluetooth or camera on any ICS ROMs since I first rooted my phone a month ago. JB ROMs recently got both working with minor bugs. READ the threads; they update. Each ROM OP usually includes an updated feature list. Then read at least the last 10 pages or so of the thread.

Back up your current ROM with nandroid and flash it. "Stable" and "good battery life" mean different things to everyone; I felt it was plenty stable, but see for yourself. If you don't like it, just put your backup back.
Later today I'll be trading my Galaxy Nexus for a One X. Of course the first thing I'll be doing is to dev unlock and get flashing.
I don't like Sense so ideally I'd like to use a CM10 based ROM or at least a de-sensed ROM. I would like something relatively stable. I've had a quick look at what's on offer here in the forums but unfortunately don't have time to read through all the replies to figure out just how stable the ROMs may be.
It would be extremely helpful if someone could recommend a ROM based on this information and maybe give me a brief outline of any bugs. Any information at all is helpful - it's a bit overwhelming coming to a new device as I'm sure many of you have experienced before.
Many thanks in advance.

Other than those stated In OP, my wifi strength is a bit low. But doesn't bother me. Battery is good for moderate use, phone calls, emails, xda etc. No gaming for me. Give it a try. There are also other CM10 roms available if you don't like it.

Try ARHD with ST ? Or CoreDroid or Viper ? I personally highly recommend ARHD with ST unless you want full customizations ...

I personally love the work of Owain94 - CM10 Domination ROM build 6 with paranoid customization and for the kernel used either faux or ncx!
Been using it for quite sometime the only instability is the soft reset that happens on the device but overall its a great ROM!
What about jelly bean rom, what are u guys recommend?, all i need is all the vital function is works, like camera

If it has the same base, just install the new version on top using cwm and without superwipe. If it's a new base, superwipe is recommended and you'll also need to flash the boot.img.

I think best camera is in Tbaldens JB/CM10 ROM( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696 )...
But its still poor compared to the Sense camera...And if you used Onexed camera mod it is day and night difference, sadly but true.:/
I tryed al rooms and I can say renovate room 5.2.0 is the best, has the most feature included (camera mode, sound mode etc.) Also a excellent battery life combined with the faux kernal , after 2 hours and a half on standby ( checked 3-4 times the clock ) I still had 100% battery .and you can install without sense if you want .

I have tried Sandvold's ROM (ICS) for a long time but switched to Nikez. Stable, clean and fast.
If you want to try: install i.e. 4EXT as recovery and stick to install-instructions and partitioning.

True, true, you're right: it's pre-alpha. And I was talking about Nikez JB P10.
As a 'normal user' of P10 I am very satisfied with this ROM and I do have some experience with other ROM's (not only Sandvold). Only a few things (thing?) does not work. Also, the forum-thread of Nikez JB P10 reads (almost) same opinions - if you filter the problems with installing 3d party scripts.
Even remarks as 'worht beta' can be read.
My suggestion is user-to-user (SeeZaar), from my point-of-view as a Desire-JB P10 user.

for stability and speed i would heartily recommend redux2-31.08-test which is a stripped gingerbread rom which i used exclusively for over a year. it has a wicked pull-down notification bar full of custom shortcuts. very stable despite the test title.
if you're looking for an ICS flavour i'd agree with earlier recommendations for spaze dog. i found it a bit more complicated to install successfully but once up & running it's been faultless.
hope that helps.

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.
