[Q] Stable daily ROM recommendation? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
My friend asked me to reflash his Desire Z, so I'm looking for some stable daily ROM (ICS or higher).
For now I chosen:
MIUI 4.2.28 multi
AOSP 4.2.2 Jelly Baby (really not sure about this ROM)
Sensei 1.3.0
Sabsa Prime v15
any other tips?
Thanks

Normally best dd ROM questions are not to be asked, but I assume sense you are doing this for a friend you won't easily be able to flash a bunch and try them out as what is normally suggested
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You will find a list of all ROMs here, many will say the most stable and fastest ROMs will be gingerbread based as that's as far as HTC brought this device. But many 4.x ROMs are quite nice for dds
Best recommendation is to flash a couple of the "more popular" ROMs and make nandroid of each and place on SD card, then instruct your friend how to easily change between them so s/he can decide for themselves what is best

Thanks for reply.
I know that it's not possible to say one ROM, but on the other hands always exist ROM which can't be marked as very stable (e.g. KitKats build now)
I really missed your list, thanks for info
(Because I already found some list, but it wasn't updated for a long time)
Anyway thanks for you work
BTW the first 3 ROMs has same link in your list

Also still I need to downgrade the firmware?

Stable Gingbread Sense ROM

Hi,
Can anyone point out to me a Gingerbread ROM with the latest HTC Sense not (3.0 obv) that is bug-free or more so Stable enough to use and is not modified to an extent that it wouldn't be considered as Stock.
I've looked through the Development section and found ROMS that meets some of my criteria but the common this is a 'Camera/Camcorder bug of some-sort.
Thank you!
Rcmix s rom v0.8.. im using the cm7 version so te cm7 tables need to be flashed.
then a fat32 and an ext3 partion on your scard.
also use a2sgui from the market to move dalvic to your ext partition to free up more internal memory if you have alot of appa
been using it for a week or so without any problems, although the video camera doesnt work.
But its better and faster than those based on the leaked desire gingerbread rom, an has the better sense version.
Well i tried both RcmixS and InsercoinS and Cool S ...based on AceS rom,and they're slow as hell >_> Stable,but slow,not worth it (yet...i have hopes for the future).As for the Roms based on the leaked Desire Asia WWE rom,they're all stable,but still have some bugs and speed issues...my opinion,wait a bit more until the Official Europe WWE rom comes out,and some1 makes a good rom out of that
I wonder if the final gingerbread rom from HTC will be 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.3..

Doubt it, we don't even have a front camera.
I am thinking more the bugfixes for the '3 second delay' stuff that 'may' be included in 2.3.4
is it worth the effort to keep sense?
i left the stock rom a few months ago and tried out cm, then gingervilain and now use oxygen/devnull
i quickly decided the massive speed increase and extra memory was worth not having sense.
I have the same problem. A Gingerbread ROM based on the new Sense with the video recording working...
I'm using insertcoin Rom and i'm happy with this. I tried couple of other roms, but this one is really fast and this one have many quick updates. IC' s developer is very hard working man ;-)

I'm currently using InsertCoin A2SD CM7 HBOOT/A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT v15, and I'm very happy with it. Using it from v02.
InsertCoin is the best rom 2.3.3 with sense currently. You should take the A2SD+ because you'll don't have to change the HBOOT.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I've tried just about every GB sense ROM besides the Desire HD versions and they all have bugs but they are stable and ok for everyday use. The best GB ROMS are the AOSP ones, CM7, GingerVillain and Oxygen if you want a complete GB experience.
I favour AuraxTSense as my ROM of choice as it meets my needs and there is a GB version out but with bugs. I'm going to wait till all the bugs are fixed then make my move, as right now 2.2 ROMS are flawless.
Sent from my AuraxTSense Desire
its likely to be only a month or two before the dev's can be working on an official gingerbread release anyway.
i cant wait to see what they will do but i expect it to be a lot better than HTC manage
RCMix S went v1.0 today. It's really stable and fast as far as I know. I'm on the v09 at the moment.

Better wait for the official 2.3. I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 Stable, but there is issue with call delay and mobile data connection problem. Now I am waiting for 2.3 official
I am running Insertcoin from around last 2 months and frankly speaking i never had any issues with the ROM. U can give it a try. U can get the rom from my signature.
Note: I never use HD recording or Playback on mobile, so i have never tested these functionality.
Yes, InsertCoin stable 1.0.8 seems to be bug free.
I used it also since about 2 months.
RCMix S v. 2.0.1 snm.
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070&highlight=Recent+Apps easy to install.
For me AcesMod007 v24
Tried all roms but this one stands to be most stable and fast...
Leedroid is good too but battery hog.
Insertcoin is not bad but slow compared to acemod007.

From my personal experience I can highly recommend oxygen. It's a very clean and stable rom and I get a great battery life. Before using oxygen I tried leedroid, rcmix s, miui and redux. They are all nice and fast, but I really like the cleanness of oxygen and redux. I would have stayed with redux, but the developer did not have any time for further development for nearly two months, so I changed to oxygen. But I cannot see a big difference between redux and oxygen.
Ive tried loads, but an issue that kept recurring was depletion of internal memory. Therefore for the desire in my opinion the best roms are ones that allow data2ext or data2we which tricks your phone into thinking it has the internal memory limit you choose. I like gingerburst, a sense Rom since the whole thing is easy to set up and is stable. Just Google it and follow the instructions on the site
Cyanogen 7.0.3 works with the data2we. zip. If you don't like HTC sense, and is my close second Fave Rom

Looking for the best rom to install on my Desire

Hi looking to for the best rom to install on my HTC Desireit has not been rooted using stock rom at the moment also would be most greatful if someone could explain how to do this thanks.

Try Bortak's guide, it's the first thread in Q&A section.
Sent from my HTC Desire using flashes and thunders
And which ROM is the best for you depends on what you like in a ROM.
There are differences in speed, customizability, features and of course the design.
So if you state what you like in a ROM it's easier for us to give an advise.
First of all you should decide if you want a stable rom or the newest but not so stable one.
For beginners I would recommend Cyanogen Mod, thats a nice stable Ginger Bread Rom and you get a good support there.
But if you want to try Ice Cream Sandwich, I suggest you try Sandvolds Rom. I am using that by myself and its great...
Regards
You could also try one of the MildWild-releases. They are both pretty good. I'm using the version based on Oxygen and it works great, very stable and very fast.
I've used MildWild but didnt like it.
Using Cyanogenmod now and i'm really happy with the performance of the rom.
+1 for Cyanogenmod... its flawless and very flexible! go for CM 7.2+INT2SD, it gives 1GB internal memory (find it here)
Below are other options:

Try Ginger Villain rom

Miui xj!
If you havn't looked at this thread yet, now is the time.
Its a list of all the Roms for Desire, sorted by android version/ Sense version.
There is no "best rom" but like the others have said, you can't go wrong with CM.
Currently using Mokee OS, which is based on CM but with a whole new interface.

[Q] Which ROM to choose?

Hey guys ,
Im new to the Galaxy S III forums and I was just wondering based on testing/results which ROM would be best to run? There are so many out there that i'm just not sure which one to choose. I wouldn't mind a JB ROM but i'm just not sure how stable they are. Please let me know what ROMs have been working out best for you guys.
Thanks,
Indian
if you want a very stable rom, go with triune II its an ics based rom, and if you want a stable jb rom go with smartguys rom
If you don't mind losing touchwiz (I don't like it...but some do) then CM 10 is very stable and fast. It is jellybean based.

[Q] Please Recommend a Stable ROM for a New Guy

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for about a year and have just been running stock Android. I would like to try installing a custom ROM on my phone.
I am planning on using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit program to unlock and root my phone.
Now, to my question. There are so many ROM's available that I feel overwhelmed when trying to choose which one to use. My only requirements in a ROM is that it has to be stable and give good battery life. Can someone recommend a good one for me to try?
Thank you!
Its hard to anwer it because everyone has its preference since every device acts differently with certain ROM. For example, I use OmniMetal and Im pretty satisfied how it works. You should try few ROMs and find which one suits you best. Read some topics, decide which options you need, and which you dont, which Android version you prefer... Maybe you should start with some standard ROMs such as CM, AOKP, AOSPA...
As I alread said, its question that is hard to answer, and its also disrespectful to every dev since they are all doing it for free

I'm a guy like you who don't want the hassle of updating the rom every week or so. I moved to cm11 from stock 4.3 rom. But flashing a new nightly every other day to be up to date is not my thing. I do follow forums regularly but don't not a flash-a-holic. I know cm11 is very stable and i can stay on a milestone release. But knowing that an update is a available is available makes my hands itchy to flash it. Suddenly shiny rom 4.4 appeared on our threads. It's close to stock. Just like how stock 4.3. Been running shiny from a month. No issues as of now. Paired shiny rom 4.4 with dirtyv and my phone is smooth.
If you are looking for a stable rom like stock 4.3. I'd recommend you shiny rom.
If you want a fully optimised featured rom, go with cm, omni, liquid smooth, vanirs, pa etc. Let me tell you. Every 4.4 rom out there is smooth and stable. But flashing roms every week to be on latest is not my thing. So i settled with shiny 4.4.

I mean, anything that says STABLE on the thread title or thread will let you know. SlimKat is stable and it works great.
Once you decide on which ROM to run I highly recommend installing gravitybox using Xposed Installer, which will give you just about every customization/feature/option that's available on most custom ROM builds.
Seriously almost evrry rom is stable. I cant think of one that isnt..

If you want stable kitkat on your gnex just flash latest cm 11 nightlie otherwise just use stock jb 4.3 with xposed installer an gravity box module for extra customization.Forget about every other custom rom because cm is the godfather of roms an usually way ahead in development.

Can't say anything against that, only custom rom I've tried and I see no reason to change it. The nightlies get updated OTA wich is smooth as silk.
Like others have said, if you are looking for a ROM with a few more customization features than stock, CM11 nightlies are pretty stable. I'd recommend starting with that and see how your device responds. I had been on the omni based ROMs for a while but I just tried the new Paranoid Android Beta 6 ROM by sd3993 and it is running so smooth. Almost all other ROMs I tried had slight issues like the music stuttering when I turned on/off my screen, which I haven't seen on this ROM. I have yet to see how battery life fares, but it is performing spectacularly in terms of smoothness. Once you have found a ROM that is to your liking, then maybe research flashing some kernels and start unlocking some true power on your device. Good luck in your search!
Thanks for all the replies! :good:
I'll go ahead and add Slimkat and CM 11 to my list to try.

gravitybox doesn't have custom animations right? i quite like that in OmniROM..
