Develop Bugs

Are there any stable stock ICS or Jelly Bean Roms?

I bought a SGH-T989-D (telus version) and it came rooted with cyanogenmod installed. It was so fast and beautiful but it had many major bugs that made it unusable (call echo, battery life, caller id broken, random restarts). It's been about 4 months so I wanted to see what the most stable roms are.
I'm looking for a rom that is fast and close to stock ICS or maybe jellybean if that's out yet. I'm currently on touchwiz ics but it's not as smooth or snappy as the buggy rom the phone came with was.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is noobish.

This one is stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25363458
Its the stable version of CM 9
And my personal favorite AOKP 7/15 milestone 6

Only issue I have is speaker phone sounds choppy.
As for JB, there is good progress, but not a DD in my IMHO.

The one by BinaryBiship is pretty good. And there's nightly builds so at least you know they're actively updating.

this question gets asked quite a bit and my opinion on the matter(since you asked) is bugs don't seem to pop up for everyone. If the phone you had had issues maybe it was just that version of CM. If you like CM then I would suggest trying a nightly, RC2 or AOKP.
There are different developers that have kanged CM as well so try that. Since what is a bug for one person is not necessarily a bug for others its a trial and error. Anyone can post a link and say this or that is the best but only your real world experience can determine if its your dd= daily driver or not....
I have been running CM9 or AOKP since I got my phone and no issues at all...No radio issues No GPS issue No hot reboot issues... so far nada... Give them all a try thats my opinion

As said earlier, CM9 and AOKP are both great. My only issue with them is that they don't have wifi calling so be wary of that if you need that feature.

Just update to the latest cm9 nightly at get.cm for the Hercules. If you are already on cm9 then make a back up and then wipe system, cache, and dalvik. Then flash cm9 and gapps.

Love the latest by Darkside. Its not pure stock but the latest is speedy, GREAT battery, and solid enough to be my DD ROM ..
Stats in sig. Good luck!

CM9 has come a LONG way these past months and virtually every bug you posted has been fixed. CM9 RC2 has been running beautifully for me for nearly a week and a half now. I recently took the plunge with TDJ's latest Venom kernel and it's been running even smoother. AOSP ROMs may have been buggy in the past but now there really isn't any reason to go back to TW. Unless of course you need wifi calling... but our devs are currently working on that and there are alternatives that allow you to call from wifi (Talkatone, Vonage, GrooveIP). So really, in my opinion, there really is no reason to go back to carrier bloat.

You could always use odin to flash a stock ICS, then root and remove bloat. You'd have a completely stock ICS running stable. As long as you're rooted, you can always flash modifications down the road. If you want a little extra performance but want to still maintain stock as much as possible, you can just flash a modified kernel on top.

[Q] Slow recent apps on Ice Cold Sandwich

Hi guys,
I have a problem for which i can't seem to find a solution through search. I'm on the latest Ice Cold Sandwich and the recent apps function (holding home button) gets really slow after a while. It seems to me that the function holds to many apps in memory causing it to be slow. I tried nova launcher which made it a little faster but not quite solved the problem.
Does anyone know a way to adjust the number of apps this function holds in memory?
Thanks

Not that I know of. And changing the launcher won't help since recent apps list is not related to it. I was a longtime IceColdSandwich user till Lord Clockan stopped active development for it. It's gotten buggy over time and especially because he was blind developing it without a phone to test on. After some use the ROM UI becomes slow overall. For ICS, I'd recommend aospX. It's the most stable ICS ROM. However it's pure AOSP and won't have AOKP/CM features like IceColdSandwich except the quick toggles in the notification bar. I'd also recommend you they the codefireX JellyBean nightlies. They are CM10 with some AOKP features and are more stable than IceColdSandwich in my experience. There a also JellyTime which is CM10 only. Since these are JellyBean ROMs, they are by default faster than ICS throughout. Everything works including 720p video recording and there are no major bugs that hamper usability.
Of course I'm only talking about AOSP ROMs. There are many stable Sense ICS ROMs if you like Sense.

As sashank said, you're not the only one facing slowing down issues with IceColdSandwich. It seems a lot of users are experiencing slow downs in the overall UI after a couple of days using the ROM.
I'm a fan of Sense ROMs, and there are a couple very stable ones around.

Thanks guys,
Might be time to switch to a jellybean ROM then....

Happy flashing
Let us know how it goes for you..

Yeah, I am in the same boat. IceCold Sandwich while formally rock steady, now is just laggy. I flashed over to Jellytime, but my wifi was so unstable at home that I have axed that one as well. I had Jellytime around B7 and had no issues with wifi. R12 & R13 are completely unusable for me. Oh well, time for something else.

Cyanogenmod ROM issues/advice

Hi everyone.
I had cyanogenmod 7 installed on HTC desire z for some time.
I decided to try out the unofficial cyanogenmod 9 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492461
At first it was great but since then it has become unstable. Programs regularly lock up for a long period when opening them or crash all out.
I cleared the cache partition last week and it improved things but its already back to how bad it was.
I'm considering going back to cyanogenmod 7
Before I go back to cyanogenmod 7 I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I can solve my issues. I could try a different cyanogenmod 9 ROM or a cyanogenmod 10 ROM but I'm wondering what you think. does anyone have any experience with any of these.

t-mobile g2 on 10.1 cm andromadus vision 12
i am t-mobile g2 on 10.1 cm andromadus vision 12. the performance has been stable but very slow. the fault is the outdated hardware. but CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.1) strikes me as an awesome build. if you want jelly bean, try it. :good:
if you want speed, let me know what you find. i am about to leave this build because the slowness is crippling (causes me to make errors in usage). i don't know where to go, but it seems like aosp is possibly the democratic choice... i continue to seek a recommend. will migrate in coming days. will report back. :fingers-crossed:
these cm people are pious saints. have informed vatican to beautify but was informed that i have no vote since i am dothead. :cyclops: so be it. amen. :silly:
sept 6, '13-
actually, i flashed Gen Y Vision X R3 on the G2. it has been a pretty good experience: slow but stable. i have now bought an htc one. so, i will leave you to try out the Gen Y ROM. really liked it. love this place cho muchy!

My opinion after playing around with a bunch of 4.0+ ROM's yesterday, since the G2 is now my backup phone. You want reliability and responsiveness/speed; stick with Gingerbread 2.3 ROMs (latest CM7 Nightly, ILWT, and etc). You want 4.0+ (as a daily driver) get a new device, which is why I got a Nexus 4 personally. A G2 with 4.0+ doesn't even compare to one running Gingerbread 2.3.
A properly setup CM7 ROM is perfect. KBreezie SD-EXT mod, V6 Supercharger w/ KAK & Multitasking Mod. This setup was running @ 806mhz with about twice as many apps as I was running on the 4.0+ ROMs. Result is it was faster than any 4.0 ROM that were clocked at 1.5ghz, so much so that you would think you were on a new device.

Yeah I was under the impression that moving to CM9 would be faster but in practice I find its a hell of a lot slower than CM7 and its no where near stable. I like the UI improvements that come with the latest android but thats really no big deal, I'd rather have a fast and stable phone.
I'm looking to get a new phone but I like the physical keyboard and no one seems to be doing one like that at the moment. So for now I think I'll stick to cyanogenmod 7

I would too recommend to stick to CM 7.2 for now. After some much flashing of radios (felt dangerois) and a brief flash of a Sense 4.0a rom (to get accelerometers working) I finally have a pretty decent JB setup. The andromadus flinny 10.1 B19 is working quite OK, but CM 7.2 admittedly has more RAM available and is faster, I had it clocked ad 24x->1506 MHz and it was rock solid.
Earlier when I tested the B18 flinny build I suddenly lost my camera. This combined with missing accelerometers had me almost going back to 7.2. Then a friend of mine noted that B19 was out, so I had to try that.
The B18 had some occasional lagging, while B19 is now my choice. I'm willing to take the speed penalty though.
I suggest You try both, and the You decide yourself.

I'm using Flinny Andromadus CM10.1 (JellyBean 4.2.2) and it is working great, no overclocking needed. Phone is fast. I of course wiped my data but pics/vids were still saved. JB is truly an amazing OS... a lot of new widgets and features that I never knew the G2 would ever see... I highly suggest you try it out. You can always back up your data using Clockwork Recovery mode.
You can DL the zip here: http://andromadus.flinny.org/?q=node/34 <-- They have a build as of 4/10/2013 :good:

[Q] Need a recommandation for a fast and stable ROM

Hello.
I'm looking for a fast, stable and batterysaving everyday ROM for my Defy+ (red lens) phone.
This is NOT a 'best rom' question, I just want some input to find a ROM among all these GREAT options which is best suited for my needs. As there are loads of ROMs and versions, I'm hoping somebody else have been in my position and have a ROM to recommend!
I have tried Mokee, which was very fast, but a little buggy (dialer FC-ed when 3g) and not very well supported (yet) on Defy+.
Before that I ran the newest Quarx CM10 4.1.2 nightlies, but most of them have some irritating bugs (Wifi ch 11 not working, ringtone bug etc), and I don't want the hassle of having to upgrade the phone every week.
CM9, CM10, I really don't care as long as it is fast and stable.
Before that I ran the Pikachu-rom from TweetyPeety. It looked very nice, but developement is not continued and besides the not-so-great speed there were some bugs unfortunately.
Today I tried the newest CM9 (12-11-18) from Epsilon, but the batterydrain was bad compared to Mokee.
Thanks!

If you want a STABLE rom for DEFY than only back to stock GB and MS2G or CM7.
I have also tried many of the CM10 but if Reability, Speed and Battery is TOP agenda than only GB for now.

[Q] Most stable ICS/JB Rom

I recently had to move back to my desire after my newer ICS orange san diego developed an overheating problem.
It currently has CyanogenMod7 on it but I would like to put a similarly stable and performant ICS or JB ROM on it.
It seems there are a number of ROMs still under pretty active development and I'm having a hard time in choosing between them.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a stable ROM with reasonable performance that I could stick on the desire?
I do use the video camera from time to time so would preferably like a ROM where this was working to reasonable standard.
My phone is S-OFF, rooted, unlocked, 2GB sd-ext, CM7r2 HBOOT (will likely be swapping this back for stock HBOOT).
Thanks in advance for any replies!

These threads arent really allowed, but ill give you some info.
Go with JB over ICS. I dont think there are any ICS roms actively developed currently, and overall JB has better performance. I havent had video recording work in any JB rom (its not that important for me anyways), but i think a few ICS roms have it working.
You wont have the same stability and performance as GB, but there are still a few good options that i have used as daily drivers:
Paranoid Android 4.3 by WoH
ChromiumROM (CM10.1) by me
Evervolv by nikez

Thanks very much for the reply and apologies for posting a 'not allowed' thread. *slaps wrist*
I have already DLed Chromium so will give that a try first. It was failing to install but then I realised that's cos of my HBOOT so going to sort that first and then get Chromium installed.

Yep, most jb roms need stock hboot to fit their large system sizes, however you can generally slim them down yourself to get them running on data++ hboot. I'll probably release a slimmed version of chromium ROM soon.

I noticed that you released build 11 last night so I flashed that and all looks to be working really great so far. Very impressed with the ROM, appears to be stable from my limited testing. Had one issue where it got stuck on the widgets screen and wouldn't show homescreen but was fine after a restart and hasn't reoccurred since.
Another mod I made was to set the pixel density to 200 which works really well on the desire, can get a lot more on the screen.
Is the issue with the video camera pretty fundamental and unlikely to get resolved?
Still amazed that JB can run so well on such an old phone.
Thanks for the rom, sterling work!

It's my orange san diego that is overheating, although my desire has previously over-heated but that was fixed under warranty. I might try taking it apart and cleaning the contacts as that guide suggests though in the hope of getting it working again.
Been running chromium for a few days now and it's been very stable. Only issue I've had is the error 'google text to speech engine has stopped' keeping on popping up. It is a bit sluggish but I expected that really and I do have a lot of apps installed.
