Looking for AOSP Rom

Hi, I recently upgraded from a HeroC to an Evo, I was running just a plain AOSP 2.2 rom on my HeroC (found it worked a little better than CM6), I was wondering if there is something similar for the Evo since I am having the random wake lock issue with CM 6.1.2. I have taken a look and seen Evervolv (tho the download links for the 2.2 version seem to be broken and the newer versions are based on 2.3 with GPS issues) I have also read about MIUI and might be checking that out just wondered if there was any other stable 2.2 AOSP roms out there.

I highly recommend miui. Try a liquid metal rom...its not aosp but its not sense either. There are aosp gingerbread roms.

Two choices.
MIUI: Aesthetically superior to all other roms, good performance, tons of extra features
CM: Performance superior to all other roms, visually solid AOSP

Thanks for the input, I am setting up MIUI now, like some of it, not sure about other parts. I would love to run CM, but I get that "random" wake lock bug, that kills my battery. I will run CM7 once GPS is stable, just looking for something to tide me over.

Are there any AOSP ROMs for the T989?

I have been searching the forums for AOSP ROMs for the Galaxy S2 and i can't seem to find any. I find a few ROMs that have some of the AOSP apps built in, but i'm looking for a strait up AOSP ROM. Is there a such thing for the T-Mobile Galaxy S2?
I do need to use WiFi Calling, i have no reception at my house at all so I need this feature working! But other then that i don't care if video recording doesn't work, if the ROM is GB or ICS.
I miss the HTC device ROMs there were always more options!
Any information would be helpful!

Aokp cm7 cm9 are all aosp and available for the t989. Both cm can be found in the dev section aokp needs to be downloaded from goo manager, which is an app. None of them have wifi calling however. No one has yet been able to figure out how to put wifi calling in a rom that isn't tw based because its more than just an app, its baked into the rom itself. I wouldn't count on it being developed any time soon either, but its not out of the realm of possibility. So to sum up: if you want wifi calling you have to use a T-Mobile rom, if you want aosp, you can't have wifi calling

That is what i was starting to think! sucks! Thanks for the reply!

[Q] What doesn't work on AOKP?

I'm looking to move to an ICS ROM, and currently AOKP appears to be what I'm looking for. The one thing I haven't found yet is a 'Works/Doesn't Work' list for the AOKP ROMs.
I've searched their forums and their wiki, but I have yet to find this list. Is there one available?
Is there a different ROM that has everything possible working? (I can live without the FFC and camcorder, but I need GPS, SMS, phone, etc).

known issues on ICS
FFC
camcorder
4g
netflix and HULU PLUS

I understand that is the across the board issues, but I've read that in an old version of AOKP the GPS was not working 100%, so I was wondering if there was a ROM specific list.

There is a fix for those who are getting gps issues. Here is the link

So, other than the norm, everything works?

AOKP has been known for random reboots. I suggest you wait till a new build gets pushed out because a new dev is overhauling the entire AOKP build system for the evo.
Feel the soapy goodness!!

I have been running jmz cm9, I've had no random reboots or GPS issues. HBO go, YouTube HD works great for me.
What's not working: FFC, 4G

The only problem I have with MIUI is the random reboots, but I'm using an outdated version

Do CM9 and CM10 have wi-fi issues?

I survived rooting an S3, flashing CM9 and then having wi-fi work fine that day but cease functioning the next. I tried CM10 but that didn't fix the wi-fi issue. I went back to stock 4.1.1 LK3 and wi-fi works. Are the wi-fi drivers in CM not that good? Nothing I tried could get connectivity after the first day. Reflashing didn't fix the issue.
I can live with relatively minor bugs in ROMs, but not when it comes to wi-fi. What else should I be trying? I'm thinking of LiquidSmooth, but am open to suggestions. What I did love about CM was how fast it booted and ran.
One person here whose opinion I highly respect uses Task ROM and Lean kernel. Anyone else like those?

Well there are many different roms out there I personally run Jellybam which is a mixture of AOKP, CM10, and Paranoid Android. Also, it's pretty stable i have the occasional Wifi drops but you just have to turn it off and turn it back on and I have problems with the Paranoid Android part of it. From what i know Cyanogenmod has moved on to 10.1 which is 4.2.1 and i think AOKP has move on to 4.2.1 and i think they are still working on some bugs. But i haven't been on their threads in a while.
But i heard that AOCP The Collective and Jedi Invasion are stable roms just to name a few (don't know 100%) but i would read up on their threads before doing anything as to be 100% sure before flashing. For example I read that someone had problems with Jedi Invasion 2.1 but 2.0 worked great for them, etc.

i had horrible wifi on any rom i tried. it onky worked on stock for me when i turned off wifi power saving. however the newest aokp from task, android 4.2 has fixed my problems and i no longer experience problems.
sent from my I747

I find it odd that wi-fi is such an issue given how common and universal this technology is. Plus wi-fi is such an essential service, far more than many other features. Appreciate the replies, which have given me new ROMs to research more closely.

Not finding this. Search has zero results. Wrong spelling?

Ive had wifi issues on all cm 10 and aokp based roms. I havent had any wifi issues on the newer cm 10.1 or aokp 4.2 or any of the touch wiz based roms. Another option is use an app called smart wifi toggler it seems to work pretty well and is free on the play store.

Well, I'm looking at Task & Ktoonsez AOKP Task 4.2.1 as a first-choice potential ROM, so your positive remark about wi-fi is good to read.
I do use the wi-fi toggle you noted, but it won't overcome a functional wi-fi issue in a ROM...at least for me.
Out of curiosity, do these hybrid ROMs run themes for CM, AOKP and others or only one specific type?

Task and Ktoonsez is a great ROM really stable. I was using it for a while but I am actually running Liquid Smooth RC9 right now and its my ROM of choice. I personally like the vanilla experience you get from Liquidsmooth. The Liquid Splasher is incredibly customizable, and no issues with wifi whatsoever.
Good luck!

I read LS thread and was concerned about posts regarding different RCs. Some love RC7, others RC9, and there seemed to be a lot of things waiting to be fixed. No? I'm probably going to try the TK ROM first, but am keeping an eye on LS because I have a second S3 that I will root and flash after first one is ready for daily use. The wi-fi issue is most important to me, so I'm interested that you have had no problems on your S3.
Is Liquid Splasher the launcher?
Does LS support AOKP/CM10 themes?

Liquid Splasher is the internal customizer to set a various array of settings and configurations, there is a huge amount of options so kind of hard to give you a detailed listing of what it can do. LS Launcher is stock nothing special about it but you can always just install nova if you prefer nova.
Yes I have been able to run AOKP themes.
Heres the unofficial thread about LS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012791
I am sure you will really like Tasks ROM its really good from the experience I had. But for me personally I am just having a lot more success with LS in regards to performance and app compatibility, and battery life. It seems everyone has a little different experience with custom ROM`s so I can only speak for myself that LS has been rock solid for me.
Hope that helps somewhat.

Yes, your remarks have been very helpful. Always good to read comments from someone with experience with these things. Most appreciated.

wifi tether question - cm 10.0 / 10.1 / ns4g modem

I'm currently running CM-10-20130217 with ns4g-1029 and I'm trying to get wireless tethering working and not having any luck. I probably will upgrade to 10.1 soon (installed it early release and it was a little buggy for me so I switched back to 10.0).
Do I need to upgrade the kernel to support tethering?
What app do you recommend for tethering with this config?
If I upgrade to the latest CM10.1 what modem/kernel do I need to run to support tethering? Same app question for tethering.
I did some searching and couldn't find a specific answer on this.
Thanks

Wifi tether report
I just tested wifi tether on a 4.2.2 based rom, Slim Rom, and it works.
I believe Slim Rom is based somewhat on CM 10.1, so 10.1 should work also.
I just used built-in wifi tether option on slim rom.
I'm also on NS4G modem, but with latest EFFSI kernel for NS4G.
If your thinking of switching up to 10.1, please know that bluetooth will be more flaky, but still work.
Otherwise, 10.1 is way better in many respects.
Also, you may want to consider going Slim Rom instead of CM 10.1.
It's more stripped down, with great battery life, and the extras it includes are actually useful.
I've tried quite a few Epic roms, including 10.1 nightlies, and it's my favorite.
You could check out the slim rom development thread before deciding
