[Q] ROM Question - Looking for minimal ASOP Desire ROM

I just got an Incredible 2 to replace my Nexus One (new job, new phone), and I'm trying to find a stable, updated and minimal ROM. I have been going through the DEV forum, and I see quite a few choices, but I don't see anything that's minimal. Something similar to this.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I might give Liquid Smooth a try- AOSP GB 2.3.7 built from source and very minimal. It's in ROM Manager too.

Im not a fan of rom manager, but I like most AOSP.

It looks like a nice ROM, but I don't think it's minimal. Are there any other suggestions? In the mean time, I'll just root my current phone and remove the bloatware.
Thanks

OMFG is probably the most minimal AOSP.

We don't really have a pure vanilla gingerbread rom for the inc2 but Omfg is a great rom too.

Well, there's OMGB, and there's OMFGB, the first being plain old gingerbread android, whereas the second is custom gingerbread.

The other thing I need is a rom that does GSM so I have world phone capabilities. From what I read about Liquid Smooth, it does not work.

CM10 or AOKP Jelly bean

So whats better? and whats latest in devleopment... im currently running AOKP Jeally Bean 15Aug Build with trinity kernel and i was wondering whats further in development and has the most features and is more stable?
AOKP or CM10?
Everyone has there own opinion but can you please give a reason why you prefer that rom?

Everybody has an opinion. I love CM10, but AOKP is cool too. Try Paradigm though, its been great to me.

Sir, black bean is based heavily on AOKP. It IS AOKP with a little tweaks such as inverted apps and such. For me, AOKP nightly is better, because the updates are much quicker and bug fixes come before black bean.

And your point is? Its its own ROM. I'd like you to tell that to the developer.

clearly neither of those 2... stock is the best.

I haven't tried CM10 but the AOKP nightlies are great to use.

AOKP for the win! Latest nightly is almost perfection. They're also close to the first real build.

CNA just released 3.3 as well and it is a beast!

Cm10 is further along with more features. I like aokp better in general, but I'm currently using cm paranoid android.
When both ROMs are fully loaded I think they're pretty close, aokp has more though.

Speaking of real build, should I wipe data too when flashing to real build? I've been dirty-flashing since day 1 and had no trouble...

CM10 ftw.... I still need to try cna.

Just installed CNA and holy crap... it blows black bean away. Also i finally get deep sleep so thats another plus. If you looking for customization.. CNA is the way to go.

Most popular toroplus ROMS?

New to the gnex from the ns4g. What're the crowd favorites?

Look through the dev thread and see which ones have what you're looking for. AOKP and CM10 variants are probably the most popular.
Try AOKP, Euroskank and/or official CM10 then go from there.
What were you using on your previous phone? Try that if it's available.
I am currently using BAMF and really like it but I've tried about 6 or 7 in the past month so I may not be on it very long.

SlimBean is remarkable, especially battery life... CodenameAndroid for complete custom-ability. Muzzy for stock AOSP.
You're welcome.

Eclipse easily, for me at least

I'd recommend the Vicious AOSP rom. He should be coming out with a V2 any day now. It's basically stock JellyBean, but runs great.

sadly they dont have that for the toroplus heck we dont even has rasbeanjelly
anyways try out codename its really nice

People, he asked for most popular ROM, not the best ROM....
OP: I don't have toroplus, but CM10 is definately the most popular ROM out there... AOKP is another one.

On the Darkside Rom

I haven't posted in a while but my phone is still solid on 3.8 Darkside. Ive used nothing but Darkside since he started development. What happened to the dev? It feels strange using an awesome rom that isnt even in the dev section anymore.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

TDJ moved on. Remember our valued devs are volunteers and hobbyists, and it's to be expected that they will come and go.
But there is an awesome group of devs active on the T989 today, and many excellent ROMS to select from.
I'd recommend that you nandroid your trusty Darkside, then try a clean install of JB. Flash your way through a series of CM, AOKP, and various kangs.
I will be extremely surprised if you don't find a new favorite. The aesthetics, responsiveness and features of the ROMs out today far exceed where we were even back in the summer.
Nandroid is your friend. Go play.

You can actually search sourceforge.net for thederekjay to find his last build.
I had to Odin back to stock after a nameless recovery screwed my phone up for the second time (nothing I flashed would work right). I remembered how much I liked Darkside Evolution and decided to search for it and try it again. It has to be the most stable custom ROM to date. It obviously doesn't have the bells and whistles that the others do, but everything just works. It also looks sweet if you slap Touch0Color and TouchWiz UX on top of it (both are still in the apps and themes section).

Darkside Evolution v8 is still my go to touchwiz ROM. Love it. Can't stand the crop of TW ROMs we have now. No offense to anyone.

V6 that *****.
Sent from T989 AOKP MS1 (KK nightly) V6'd

I just started using it after all the crappy battery and various problems from some of the JB Roms. Ive used them all I think. Slim beans awesome as far as battery goes and liquid smooth but each still have graphical glitches. 3.8 is the way to go its by far the most reliable TW Rom we got with bulletproof a close second IMO.

I just recently committed to making the switch. I was on Darkside v. 8. I am now using Infamous Resurrection Gangnam Style. Great Touchwiz basedRom. Good battery life. No lags. And it's still active so lots of support etc for this rom.

Would going back to JMT X4 be a good idea?

I am currently on aokp build 6 and am getting bored of the holo look of the ROMs+bugs and am thinking of going back to JMT X4. I know that this ROM is kinda old and is on ICS so I wanted to ask if it would be a good idea because I heard that it doesn't have Google now and some other stuff that is present in JB ROMs.

eh...if you want. I personally dont care for GoogleNow, and I also prefer the stability of ICS over customization in JB. Up to you man.

Thats what Im running now. It's my "go-to" ROM. VERY stable, great battery life.

I'm running Darkside Evolution v8 right now. While JB is faster and a bit smoother my network reception and the way my phone responds to it is not good at all. On any radio/rom combination my signal just cuts off when it is relatively low.
I'm just waiting on Official Touchwiz JB.

If your looking for a mostly bug free Rom then JMTX4 would be a good bet.. It's further developed and is super fast..
If you want the same bug free experience on JB then you will have to wait a little longer my friend. But it's coming soon!
This thing makes calls too ?

It really depends on preference. Both are really stable ROMS.

I just came from an aokp nightly by whitehawkx and wanted to try out the JMT jb2.1. For some reason the radio wouldn't work so I flashed stock jb rom via odin, flashed TWRP, and then installed JMT. Radio worked perfectly after that.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I was using JMT X4 as a DD. Upgraded to the 4.1.2 JB as soon as it was out and am now using build JMT JB2 with the Beta kernel and have not had any issues. Very smooth on my end.
Very hard for me to tell the difference in speed compared to JMT X4.
