I've noticed that every ROM I've tried since switching from 4.1/Sense 4 has had small performance issues that I hadn't seen on Sense 4.
One thing that seems to be common with all 4.2+ ROMs (both Sense and AOSP) is that the notification drop-down lags noticeably, especially on the launcher. What could be the cause of this?
Also, I'd appreciate it if you guys could recommend ROMs (preferably AOSP, but Sense works) with good performance. Right now I'm running ViperX with Alex-V's kernel and I find it okay, but still a bit underwhelming.

Hmm for me it's the other way around, sense 5 has better overall performance due to the trimmed down system !
And as far as i can recommend roms.....i just cant, i will not compare roms by it's performance, every rom has it's own unique settings and tweaks. My only advice is to try them out and check which one suits you the best.

Fair enough. I've tried about a dozen ROMs so far, and ViperX and AICP seemed to have the best performance.
Strangely enough, I just flashed a stock 4.2 ROM from ARHD to test it out, and this may just be a placebo but it actually seems to run significantly better than ViperX did. That's really strange considering I'd expect the opposite to be true.
Well things should go better when we have the kernel source released to make full tweaked custom sense 5 kernels.
And the difference in performance is different for everyone too.
The rom you mentioned is about full stock, viper is tweaked and has a highly adapted framework with a lot of tweaks. That can be less battery friendly.

Which one has better life?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
neophytes rom compared to what ?, its definitely better than the default rom. I found that neophytes rom gave me excellent battery life =D
compared to NexTSense? i think NexTSense have good battery life. Never tried the Neophyte's Neophyte yet.
Oh sorry heh heh. I was in a rush a wasn't very specific. I meant between his two rom's. Anyone feel any difference between his stock based one and his sense based one?

I switched from the normal one to the battery save, and noticed a distinct improvement in battery life.
That said, there are so many contradictory comments on threads about overall performance of different ROMs, the only way to find out is to give it a go on your phone.
I guess it is fair to say that the battery save version should be better, but you may not need it....
Battery save Roms only run up to 800mhz though
Having tried both I feel that Neophyte 1.6 is the best Rom for battery.
Alright thanks everyone. I'll give then both a try.

i run my NexTSense on 806mHz only..
So I finally got my wipe to upgrade from her dumbphone to a smartphone (Droid Inc.) and I'm looking into what are the best ROMS available *if* she lets me hack her phone.
I'm new to this arena since I have a Droid X so I want to know from people's experiences what is the best ROM for the DInc? From doing a quick look through it seems like CyanogenMod 6, SkyRaider Sense or Redemptive rEVOlution might be possible candidates.
I know the CyanogenMod ROM is one of the big ones but I'd like to keep the Sense UI on her phone to make it as easy as possible to use for her (and I do like HTC's overlay.)
So any thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
Try out redemptive revolution 1.9. Good battery life and very stable.

I use SkyRaider 3.3.2 with LauncherPro Plus and GOTO as a lock screen and have no problems. I too love HTC Sense, just decided to play with LPP.
Heads up: There's a "General" Incredible subforum for these sorts of posts.
*make sure you know what version of the dinc she has, amoled or slcd,some roms and recovery won't work without fixes* that said redemption rom is currently my fave, otherwise virtuous rom. theres also red raven and feather but wouldn't recommend those for your wife. I believe theres a rom that sum1 made with a pink theme somewheres also but don't quote me on that. if you do any of these look for the new leaked stock kernel, has a lot better battery life and charges in half the time.

I love Cyanogen, if you're looking for Vanilla ROM this is a great choice. I'm using CM6.0.2 right now and I love it. CM6.1 RC1 should be dropping very soon, it's not 100% stable but Cyanogen himself it could be used as your daily driver

I'd stay away from the Desire HD and Z ports until the camera issues are resolved.
I'm using redemptive revolution 1.9 and loving it right now. It just got updated with new framework so its the latest and greatest in my book!
I love the Desire Z port from IncredibleDoes but some people need the camera or would like to have the cam, if that's the case try SkyRaider 3.3.2 its the best one out there for me.
Uncommon Sense
I will stick with Uncommon Sense Rom, its the most Stable free bug HTC Incredible Rom, the feels is likely Sense OEM manufacturer, I did not find any lack at all with the exception of APk Drawer little lag scrolling up. as well is the best of the two world android/Sense blended.
All the rest of the HTC Incredible Rom have several problems that have to be address and for sure Updates will be available to Roms like Sky raider and Virtuous.
Most ROMs are good, but also aren't 100% done. To be honest, if you wife uses her phone a lot and isn't a tinkerer just keep it the way it is lol.
Once camera issues are resolved the desire ports will pretty much be in a league better than any of the custom roms based on earlier sense. I would also strongly recommend miui except that many of the really useful sense widgets have no equivalent ones in aosp roms. I would recommend aosp roms only for people who are ok with constantly tinkering with their phones, not for your wife who will probably want.something that just works.
Until then redemptive, virtuous, skyraider are good choices.

I have tried a bunch of Roms and all of them have their strong points. This is all a matter of personal preference.
That being said, I would recommend Virtuous with the custom kernel or new stock kernel and here are the reasons:
1. It is very stable and fast.
2. Good battery life.
3. Nothing is removed or modded that cannot be readded or turned back on using the tools the developer provided (Virtuous Buddy).
4. Great dev support.
This is not the only Rom I use, but it is definitely the only Rom I would put on my wifes phone.

Thread moved to Q&A.
I would say virtuous or the newest leaked deoxed stock ROM... both using the newest stock kernel.
Only roms I would consider for the girlfriend....
Personally I would just do a few mods to the newest stock ROM minus the bloat.

I switch between Redemption and Redemptive Revolution.
I like Redemption with Kings BFS #5 kernel the best, amazing battery life! It just "feels" good to me.
Wow nice! Thanks for all the recommendations! I don't think I've heard of Virtuous so I'll check that one out.
Also to commenton the tinkering part, she definitely isn't into tinkering...in fact she complains when I tinker with my phone for too long LOL
Going ASOP isn't really an option since the base Android UI is lacking without some extra apps so the Sense UI is perfect for her. I do plan on (obviously) rooting the phone and setting up SetCPU but any additional improvements custom ROMS make are always nice to have.

hello can someone tell me what is the best rom for one x? thanks
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Try them out, and make your choice.
This depends in you. There is no "best" Rom.
If you like the sense UI you can use "Revolution HD" mod (no visual changes). The "leedroid mod" and the "chameleon rom" are tweaked with slight changes but based on sense.
For me i'm a fan of cyanogen. I'm using Domination mod and i'm happy with it.
But not all features are working.
Maybe u can use MIUI this is no sense mod. For me it was too colorful and has less configuration options then cyanogen.
Hope I could help.
Cheers

Leedroid with sense or without is the best IMO. Leedroid 6.4 with stock kernel is the best on battery so far that i've tested. It was my daily driver, I decided to try out maximus because of the new HTC Base leak and radio.
But yea, I've tried almost all of them and I think Leedroid 6.4 is one of best for performance and the best battery life.
Maximus is looking good with the new base though. Tomorrow will have a full day usage on full charge.

hard to say boyo im using the venom one have to say it's the longest lasting rom so far on my device.
Take venom Rom
Best Rom four personalisation Verb fast stabile and good battery Live
To be honest it depends what your looking for.
Stability - ARHD/LEEDROID
Cutomization - slimcs/exodized/venom
Those are just some of the more popular roms. I personally run exodized and I've flashed nearly every other one, always end up back on exodized for its aosp feel and performance and great battery life.

hi
as allready writen that depends what are u looking for.
i've been using for some time in DHD and one X the Android Revolution HD
good rom and stable
also tested LEEDROID but prefered to go back to arhd
As sugested here i think i'm gona try the venom Rom looks niece
and see how it works.
I have been using different ROMS. For most customizations, go for venom.
For sheer stability and stock look. ARHD is THE best.
And AOSP ROMS keep it simple. I personally love paranoid android. It's a hybrid rom
Worth checking out. Using it as my daily driver
Whichever rom works the best for you is the best one. Best thing to do is try them give them a couple of days to settle in and see which you prefer.

ViperX is the most cutomizable SENSE ROM with its OTA support. Take a look at Original Android Development and Android Development threads. The best ROM for me is.the one where developers actively support their users.

TBalden's CM9 and Floatshow's ParanoidAndroid (officially best battery life)
Sent from my HTC One X
I'd say Trips CM9 Rom with jelly bean stuff, very very smooth, and nice battery time. Still a little buggy, so you need to be able to handle that...
IMHO for me it was and still is that pokemon Rom with faux kernel. The best one i used do far. Right behind is leedriod and ARHD. Havent tried Venom because one of my friends bricked his phone trying to install it and the install procedure is atleast complicated and undefined. Some say you should install it this way others say different. They dont even say does the auto-rom flasher work on a stock-rooted phone.
I would suggest the Venom rom, good battery and alot of custom stuff
Would you like to stick close to stock I suggest ARHD
many AOSP roms
most AOSP ROMs are cool..
i use CM9 port and my friend uses IcedCooled AOKP.. they work pretty well
Go with venom, u won't regret it. It is very stable and battery life is awesome.

Give Domination CyanogenMod 9 a whirl. Its a sensless rom but has an almost entirely ICS feel to it. Easy to use with great features
been using Leedroid for a while nice ROM clean and stable with some nice tweaks
Give a try to Domination + faux3b11 kernel and undervolt it in 100mv. Nice rom, many costomization options, stable and fast.
Suggest me a good rom. My conditions are
1. good battery life
2. OAT updates needed for new rom versions .
3. Preferring ROM without sense
4. Preferable Jelly bean
5. Good sound quality ( beats )
6. Should be stable
7. Should remove hearing of mobile
8. Preferring htc camera app
9. good performance.
so please help me to find a rom according to my criteria.
May god bless you
#4 makes #1 impossible at this point.
Besides, you should go through all of the different ROM threads to learn everyone's experiences.
#8 and #2 conflict with #3

Use The CM Nightly. See tbaldens thread under Original Android Development

Suggest looking at ARHD, is currently ICS, but already looks to be
working with early JB code and will most likely one of the first ROMs
to support JB. Can always replace the bits of sense you don't like
Viper X
You can't wait all your 'criteria', in one ROM at the moment haha...
So one or two of your 'criteria', may have to be sacrificed.
Gonna have to suggest the viperx Rom, may not be jb but once you have used it you will be willing to wait for the devs to switch to jb base. In the aroma installer you can desense it as much as you like, then flash a aosp mod for a more than adequate aosp feel and look
sent from my One X using xda venom premium
ViperX for OTA updates, but if you're looking for JB, I suggest you go for CM10 Nightlies.
Try them all mate, only you can decide what's best for you. We can all say try this that or the other but it's what comes down to personal taste that matters. Any of the current Sense based roms are excellent. Viper X has some fantastic tweaks that make it special. ARHD is highly popular, got a great dev behind it.
Then you have CM9/CM10/AOKP roms, they are fine for daily use bug minor bugs here and there.
Official Jelly Bean is due soon, so in the mean time start flashing and testing! Also kernels will help with battery life and such as well.
Good luck. :good:
