All ics roms for vivow have some issues. The question is do you want sense or aosp?
UKB is probably the best sense rom out right now. Sense 4, android 4.0.3. Smooth, fast, excellent battery. Camera fcs a lot for some.
For aosp, you have Kangdemnation or an older version of PA. PA is moving on to JB, but I think version 1.9.5 is ics.
Most of the problems are camera related, but many have been fixed. BT is another area of concern/ongoing development. Sound issues, too.
Search through the threads for these issues before you ask a question. Most of these threads are quite large.

+1 I am running the leak now. I didn't mention it b/c some people are having trouble: play store, data wifi switching, etc.

If you don't feel the need for Ice Cream Sandwich, I use Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable for my "old reliable" It's much faster than stock, better battery life, and everything works 100% for me. Just my 2 cents.

I'm pretty much a rookie myself, and wanted the most stable ics rom I could get. The UKB looked great, but I decided to try tazz's ic rom first. It sounds like it should be stable too. I just flashed it earlier today, so haven't had much time with it yet, but so far it looks great. It sucks as much as everyone in that thread promised.

In my experience, Tazz's ROM is probably the number one out there right now. Granted, you're stuck with Sense but there are some devs out there stripping Sense away from this ROM and another one. Everything works out of the box (including camera which is huge for me), but like I mentioned, you're stuck with Sense and I've personally moved to Paranoid Android 1.5a which has CM9 as a base. Works pretty great, although my ffc pictures often show up corrupt/glitchy/garbled. Now to make more posts so I can have the privilege of commenting about this bug...

If u r on cdma then use UKB X, if on gsm use IC Tazz. Both the roms are very gud. I faced bootloop in gsm with UKB X and V.
otherwise ukb is better.

So I guess this shows my noobness, I'm wanting to root my wife's incredible 2 and not sure if she has cdma or gsm. How do I know/find out?

What's your carrier
Is it Verizon? If it is then its cdma.

Stock GB.

My wife is about as rookie as they get. I put her on IC-Tazz.
My 2 cents.

LOL yeah, that was an entertaining and informative thread!

I just stuck to the Aeroevan's CM9 07/12 build with v12 kernel (pretty outdated, but I don't use the phone anymore) and gave it to my mother. So far, she's loving it to the point where she's completely oblivious to the world when she's using an app.
I woild definitely recommend Aero's CM9 build if you want a speedy rom with mostly everything working (720p recording doesn't work sadly)
But if you want an extremely stable ROM, then go for Tazz/Mac's IC Tazz ROM and have fun with the suckiness of the ROM. XD
I woukd also recommend Nit's UKB just because it's a treat and its packed with lots of Sense 4.0 goodies.

Apparently I've gone flashing-crazy (I blame upgrading to TB Pro :laugh: ) and have also tried UKB V and can now recommend it too as rookie-safe. The only problem is I'm having so much fun trying out new roms, I'm now finding myself searching for other roms to play with...

Best stable ROM (any version of android, for general usability)

I'm giving my old HTC Desire to my friend, but before I do I want to flash the best ROM for a laymen's use, in terms of stability, battery life and speed.
Personally, I have a Galaxy Nexus with JB and I love it - I think JB heralds a new era in which android finally shows that iOS is just hype and not god.
I've seen there are ROMs right the way up to Jelly Bean, which I find pretty amazing considering the age of the Desire handset - however, there must be quite a few issues to iron out, and I doubt that my friend, who will be more worried about his phone working than whether it's up to date with android, will appreciate these issues.
So which ROM would you recommend? Quick answers appreciated cause I need to give him the phone within two hours! Lol
Thanks for your help

Stable Rom
I really enjoy Mr. mephisto and RSK team rom, the 3.5 sense is awsome and the AMAZE cam is.. well.. AMAZING.
I have it for almost 2 months now.
It gives the old Desire a great new look!
and with the aroma installer is super customized.

No freezes, running smoother than any other rom i had.
you need S-off with CM7 and 4EXT touch recovery.

It's beautiful and stable, but it's too heavy (read slow) even on fast sd. If you have to sell the phone, just install stock rom (with sense), or an aosp like cm7 or oxygen.

No man, install stock Oxygen rom , create partition ext4 for a2sd. And that is it. Rom is completely bug free, and it has bedt battery life. Speed is great, and no laggs at all !

Cool droid v3 with primo theme.

I have to agree. Cool Droid v3 is the stable and cool GB ROM for me.
Stuck to this after trying many many ROMs out there.

U wouldnt happen to have a working link to COOL DROID v3 ?

The only reason I might even consider changing this rom I'm using would be somewhat poor multitasking. But I think I'll most likely need to finally upgrade to a better device.

Erklat, why don't you try cool droid? I find multitasking good on that one. I had the rom you're using before, and it's one of the best, but cool droid is even better.... I am sure you'll like it.

Oxygen 2.3.2 + thalamus r4 kernel. Use Oxygen r2 hboot. If You need more space, with GParted make ext3 or ex4 partition.
I've found it best combination (almost one year using it). It's not full of widgets like Sense roms, but You can install Fancy Wigdets or Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather similar to Sense.

I put the last stable version of miui on my dads desire, and it runs perfectly so far. Using the 2.3.7 os which is pretty stable.idk about battery life tho

best ics rom and jb is better than ics?

Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda app-developers app

you can use MIUI v4 or paranoid android ICS ROMS on you wfs, JB ROMS are in WIP, ICS is also buggy but JB contains more bugs than ICS. So, if you want to try ICS or JB, you should first go for ICS.

For ics I prefer paranoidandroid.

i tried speed droid v1.2 and is a little bit more good between this and alpha 7
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda app-developers app

take the opportunity to ask here, of which cyanogen10 roms is better qu goes all? because there are 3, right?

I've no idea of JB coz Im still waiting for Alpha 1 to fix some crucial bugs.
But for ICS I'm using the latest MIUI and I have to say I'm quite impressed with it. Just the thing is it lacks battery life.
Also CM9 is my favorite. The fastest and the best.

My MIUI I liked, but this in English, and I am Spanish and do not know enough in English to have a rom only in English, and Chinese less :laugh:

Hi,
I think SpeedDroid v1.32 ICS is the best rom in my experience. Really stable, without bugs and impressive benchmark scores, great battery life. JB is still a bit buggy so for daily use I would rather wait until the bugs are sorted out. That being said, this ol' little phone while certainly not the most powerful out there is still a nice one since developers keep up there good work

i suggest get the unofficial port of cm9...chk it up on google...it looks awesome...though there are sum bugs,it cn b used :laugh:

Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk 2

dont think there is such a thing as stable on this phone, been trying different builds on this site for a few weeks and keep falling back to stock rooted device, at this point I am frustrated with the one v, limited rom's that are stable most of all, the phone does lack speed, but is sensibly priced also.. my daughters phone now, evo 4g , took to a new rom right off think it is nitrous, stable as hell, first rom i ever flashed, but am a long time Linux user so but a stable version others have put on a vm cdma would be nice to know,... faq is not what he asked.

that means same only

Not the same thing, I'm not one of those people asking what Rom is best knowing there's a bunch out there to try. I'm asking what's stable and not going to screw up my phone.
Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk 2

if you have many times to kill, just try every available cus-rom in here one by one...
but if you really wanna know my opinion, then go for mySENSE v2.0 and/or Paranoid Android v2.99

u asked for stable and fast rom that is the same thing dude

used cm9 w/ supersick overclocked to 1.5GHz until the battery drained out while playing nfs most wanted, playing music with the Walkman app, quick web browse with Firefox and around two hours of YouTube videos with no crashes or force close. CM9 was the only rom I managed to get to the home screen with.

Stable and up to date are two entirely different things in the android world. For stable, run stock. For up to date, something cm10 based. Every rom has its problems, just a fact of using android.

[Q] Most Parent Friendly ROM

So my dad has been using his One V for almost a year now. Was stock and unrooted. Slowly it has got slower and slower. Its reached the point where I have to factory reset anyway.
Is there a custom ROM that is more stable and smooth than Stock 4.0.4 and yet gives good battery life? Features irrelevant.
Thanks.

Both are not suitable for everyday work. At present, only CM9 stable, battery friendly and faster than Stockrom. :good:
Evervolv has but the chance to replace in the foreseeable future CM9. It is well on the way there.

I'm starting to agree with you know, I've been using Evervolv since about yesterday, and it's been a bit buggy for me now. I'm just hoping it gets more stable.
If you want a stable easy to use rom for your dad, I'd recommend CM9 as recommended by other users.

1ceb0x great work on Evervolv had made it stable now. Try it again with the new kernel.

Since CM10 is abonded I'd say the newest version of Evervolv is really, really great. Android 4.2.2, aosp. everything you want.
Just one "downside. default camera isnt working. Im using camera zoom fx for this and its a great application.
