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.

I know that this question was probably posted before, but I figured I would post it again because people's opinions change over time.
I have been running cm7.2 for a while now and was wondering what perks some sense roms have over cm7.2 if any at all and if it would be worth it to switch to a sense rom?

Honestly, try SkyRadier on teambamf.net and just see for yourself. It's hard to talk about all of them.

The ONLY reason I would go back to a sense rom is for the camera.

Sense is heavier so AOSP roms will have better battery life. Sense has its widgets and camera. I don't know if it's better for CM7. 2 but I had multitouch issues with CM and MIUI and aerovan v. 7 kernel so that's the reason I switched. You should try it and see if you like it or not. Personally, I love MIUI but I can't live with the multitouch issues so I changed to SkyRaider Zeus
+1 on the SRZ. I'm sticking this one out until we get our ics leak.

I lost my phone for about a week. When I was helping my friend clean his house I found it in his chair and the camera was cracked. I can't even open any camera app. On top of that I just realized my speaker is about to blow out

I looked at the gnex, but it really didn't appeal to me that much. I saw some pictures about a phone rumored to be the inc3 coming out this summer so I am gonna wait and see what happens with that before I decide on a new phone.

Sense 4.0 with GSM
Do you know a Sense 4.0 ROM for GSM?
I go back and forth between sense and CM7.2 Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Sense bluetooth works WAY better for me, but I like the customization of CM7 and the quickness.
Magnolia and Skyraider Zues have been my favorite sense roms and gotta give it up for Condemned's CM7 rom.
Your mileage may vary of course..
I prefer Sense to CM7 and CM9 too.

Not until HTC releases source for ICS.
I prefer sense because of how stable it is. I have been running magnolia most of the time, but I have like 5 different roms on my sd card so I never know what I will be running from day to day.

yes, androidcentral/bgr have renders and specs of it but that doesnt really affect this phone
So I am moving from og Incredible to the Incredible 2. Which ROM is recommended once I room? I prefer sense ROMs.

This really should be in Q&A forum....
If looking for sense rom nit has a ultimatekangbang sense 4 rom(ics) thats awesome, CS has a Stock sense rom thats like the name(stock). If you look through forum your see alot of em. Try em all theres always nandroids. The devs do awesome jobs. Theres even some badass jelly bean roms out now. I suggest try em and see which one is your preference
Thank you. I will move my question as well.

No they are still mostly alpha and beta builds, camera works....most of the time, camcorder is broken until we get an official kernel source, and we just got adreno video drivers in aeroevens latest kernel which really helps with the smoothness of the ROMs. In my experience the JB ROMs are very smooth and quite fast.
GOT IT. I am using JB now on og incredible and it is doing well. So I am sure I will try it on DINC 2.

Just wish battery life was a little better, but that won't happen until source is released.
I just installed the ParanoidAndroid rom today, so far so good, camera and camcorder both work.
I have a modded ICS like in topic title - meXdroidMod_Fried_IceCream3. Is there a ROM with o/c (1.5 GHz is enough) and better stability, speed and look? And with less memory usage? I wasn't there by 2 months and I guess things changed
Thanks for advance.

These are my two favorite ICS roms, I'd say both are faster and more stable than friedicecream, that was great when devs were first working on getting ICS to work right on the vision, things have come a long way since then

Hmmm I've been using revolt (JB) rom and Dorian v5.70 kernel
and I must say I'm amassed by it's speed and stability I have found no bugs whatsoever. So well think about it and have a look I wish u the best in finding the Rom to your needs; )

Andromadus Mimicry 1.4 here. No bugs, smooth as my gf's butt (you need to take that for granted ) and the stability is great. I don't want to change to normal cm9 now, cause it's poor compared to Mimicry IMHO.
Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 is out. NOW.

So which Jelly Bean ROM is most stable?

I'm... really confused. Someone please enlighten me.
Because the EVO was made for GB ROMS. The hardware is compatible with GB.
You can load a custom ICS or JB ROM from the many available here but I don't think they have HWA. They are also not 4G compatible and if you have good 4G in your area then it does not make any sense as to why you would go with a non 4G ROM. Also, FFC and a bunch of other stuff does not work with ICS or GB. The processing power of the EVO is also a little weak for the animations of ICS or JB.
^ This.
Perhaps if HTC had ever released the source code for the drivers for things like 4G and the FFC, ICS and JB ROM's would be more popular and more people would use them. As it stands now, Gingerbread doesn't have any of the above issues-it just works, plain and simple.

Because pretty much everything works. No lag and like HD2FORNICK said, this phone, by hardware, is designed for GB

Ics and JB don't have hard ware acceleration?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
ICS and JB certainly do. But not for this phone. Drivers have to be compiled to specific hardware. To do that, the ROM maker will either need to build the driver from scratch, or have the source code and make modifications. HTC never released the source code for the drivers, so no hw accel for ICS and JB. You cant use the same drivers across two different OSes, even for the same harware. Oh well...

I'm not a fan of GB ROMs but I do like sense. I dont mind the 4g part since I don't have it in my area. Still I keep switching between GB,ICS and JB. I have had good experience with the ICS ROMs I tried. JB ROMs is like ICS at the beginning with laggs and things not working but it gets better as time passes.

Cuz gb just plain works.
No doubt, ice and jb are great, but just not functional enough for me. Like vid recording is choppy, which unfortunately is a deal breaker
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
While all the ICS/JB roms are awesome, I came from the EVO shift to the EVO 4g for the bigger screen, and front camera. With the front camera broken on ICS and up, it is unfortunately a deal breaker. That is why I use gingerbread.

Try decks reloaded and you'll know why

Decks Reloaded is amazing. It just flies and nothing ever FCs.
Even though I live in an area with great Wimax coverage, I never use it. It kills my battery so quickly. That's why I'm trying out an ICS ROM right now and I've also been trying out some JB ROMS. Had to drop JB because Bluetooth wouldn't work right in any of the ROMS I used.
Long story short, if it wasn't for the advanced notifications and status bar in ICS, I wouldn't ever use anything other than Decks Reloaded on my Evo 4g. Try it. It's so damn smooth.
