I haven't been on here in ages to mess with my One V, I see we finally got the ability to S-OFF (awesome!) I haven't installed a ROM since at least May of last year and am still using the old CodeFireX with ION kernel from SimonSickle I haven't had any issues with it, but from a search it doesn't seem like CFX is really around anymore on here?
So are there any good ROM's that use a ION kernel and run smooth with wifi/3g? And also have we ever got the camera to work on a ION kernel?
Sorry big guy,
We don't do "Best ROM" type threads here, everyone will have an opinion, and they are always different.
Best to flash the ones that look good and see what you personally think.

Hey,
So sorry for what probably seems like a dumb question. I'm usually a Vibrant guy, but I'm helping a buddy out with a G2/looking at the feasibility of getting one myself. I know at least for the Vibrant our normal kernels don't play nice with our version of CyanogenMod 7. I was curious if the same held true here? Or can I flash any kernel? Also, I see that there are different types based on the type of ROM, which is a new thing to a Vibrant owner. So can anyone recommend me a kernel? I'm pretty decent on flashing and all that, and recovering a brick (at least with my Vibrant). Basically I want the best bottom-line performance. I don't need extra bells and whistles, just a nice high clock frequency. Thanks!

If you're looking for a kernel for CM7, the kernel included is quite snappy though I personally run pershoot's kernel as he undervolts and has some other tweaks which improves responsiveness *and* battery life, at least for me.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
CM7 already comes with its own custom kernel (which also supports some overclocking), so no need to flash a separate kernel if you don't want to. But as already mentioned, pershoot's works well too.
You can't flash any kernel. Some are Sense specific, and some are for non-Sense ROMs. Flashing the wrong one for your ROM can apparently brick the phone, so read thru the threads for the ROM and kernel you are interested in, to be sure. The ROM developer will usually have kernel recommendations, or you can see what kernels users of that ROM have tried.
Like stated above you will need to read the instructions and notes on the kernel thread. CM7 has special requirements. Other Roms don't need. but be very careful on what you flash!
I could see how some people might think this would be a stupid thread to start, but being a rom noob and this being my first android phone i thought this would be helpful for others like me. I personally work from 6am-7pm and need my phone after work and can only really flash and play around with one rom a night if that. I think a lot of these rom's are based of other roms for other phones, like cm7 (correct me if i'm wrong). If people could just talk about previous experiences such as if you used Kingdom Rewind 3d for your Dinc1, CM7 on another phone or just you're general experiences with the roms that have come out so far and what you feel are the least glitchy, has the most features, best batery life etc.
This does not belong in the development section.

I ran CM7 on my Dinc. It was a stable fast ROM but it is like a blank canvas. You have to make it what you want it to be. If you like to have lots of options and don't need any of the Sense widgets I think it makes the most sense. It is almost absurdly configurable.
If you like the Sense widgets then I would wait and see if the Skyraider ROM is ported over. It seemed to be the most stable and fast of the modified Sense ROMS.
My .02 and I agree with cheifkeiff.

If you need reliability, I would highly recommend one of the debloated stock ROMs. These will have the stability of stock without the bloatware.
If reliability is not exactly a requirement but you like Sense, can't really recommend anything. I, personally, don't like Sense and have not tried any Sense based ROM.
If reliability is not so much an issue, and you can do without Sense, CM7 is actually quite stable and reliable. I say use this if reliability is not an issue because it has only community support should something not work right.
MIUI is a really different experience with customization brought to a whole new level. Its like what I would imagine iOS 5 to be like, plus all the awesome associated with Android. I use setCPU to throttle the CPU when the screen is off, and with medium use throughout the day I get about 14 hours out of the battery.

Just rooted my One X international, and wondering if you could recommend me any ROMS! A screenshot and download link would also be appreciated, but just posting a name is help enough.
I will look at anything, i dont mind whatever you post, but i dont like HTC Sense that much, but its not the worst, i can deal with it.
PS: Not sure which is the right sub-forum to post this is in... so sorry
Popular roms are ARHD which has sense intact, JDR0ID which strips sense out, and Cyanogenmod 9 which is pretty much stock android with a few tweaks. Everyone likes something different, if I were you I'd just try a bunch out to find out what you like.
try PKMN rom or Leedroid..Best of the bunch really..cm9 for me i would wait a few more weeks till it gets fully stable and then i would flash that bad boy.
but anyway have a look in android development section and take your pick

knock yourself out
Thanks much

Thanks
ARHD is good, but i'll try JDROID, seems to be simple/elegant and the reviews are good when it comes to battery saving...
Thanks, flashing it now
Unofficial CM9
Try the unofficial CyanogemMod from this forum.
Not yet finished, but already very stable and ready for daily use:

I'm about to unlock my HOX right now, can anyone suggest me the best ROM-Kernel-Combo (performance wise) ?
PS: I'd like to stick with sense
I know its kinda noob question but im really new to this scene (not to android) and had desire before so i really cant decide what custom rom to install. I need a close to stock custom maybe with some speed tweaks. Right now im leaning toward cm 10.0 and see a lot of other roms with similar options. Im asking here becouse besides the options the rom has for me its also important the stability and more to be from a trusted and active developer.
Just share your experience with the rom you use if u can i willl be thankfull just to get some orientation to the scene.
Do you also let people choose your favorite color or car manufacturer for you? Seriously, test drive some and see what works best for you?

re
wow what an answers. i simply asked and if u mind u simply dont have to answer. as for test drive not everyone has the time to play that much with flashing nor the will to try every rom out there. this place is for people to share experiences and like u smart as.s idiots to curse to everyone who whod dare to ask a noob question. if i didnt had respect for this place i wouldnt asked in Q.A and would of used development sections as many do. so if u have no intention helping someone just bugg of and mind your bussines
Well, according to your first post, CM is probably the rom for you; i still agree that you should test drive available roms. Some have more customisation options, others adopt a more debloated approach like aosp itself, and you can even build aosp by yourself!
I run a modified build of aosp put together by myself.

i guess ill start with cm thank you and ur right if its to bloated ill beter learn to build a custom AOSP i havent done it but read the guide it didnt seem to hard to do it i have a decent power pc i guess. thnxs for the input

Rasbean Jelly is an excellent ROM, close to stock. Check out the Trnity Kernel thread. Rasbean+ Trinity, ftw !
hi. I also came from desire and so far I love the Galaxy Nexus. There's a great variety of ROMs here. So far I have tried a few, but if you are looking for a fast, stable one I would recommend Atom. I am currently on v1.25 for the maguro & I'm expecting the next version with jellybean 4.2 to drop shortly. I'm also using the Zen series kernel v7. I'm having stunning performance and battery life. over 4 hours of screen-on time with the latest kernel. it's a bit different from the other cm / aosp / aokp ROMs around. worth a shot!
alternatively, if you like 'darkness' you can try xblack. if you want to have hybrid options I.e. tablet interface on your nexus you can always give paranoid android a go. they willprobably update to 4.2 intheirlatest build expected to drop tonight anytime.
ps: haters gonna hate! ignore the un-friendlies! we all got to start somewhere.

just tried them both rasbean and atom and i like atom more but rasbean not bad also. ill try few more till a stable custom 4.2 comes around. desire scene was good but contagious it was easy to get a flashing mania and i guess this scene is also dangerous to become flash maniac not that i mind to
Well I was a flashaholic on the desire, simply because we never quite really had a stable experience on ICS and JB. So, it was a never ending quest to find a ROM (or upgrade) that was really stable and useful. Not to mention the countless issues with regards to space/sdcard/partitioning/hboot and what not!!!
I am just glad to be on Galaxy Nexus. There are some insane number of ROMs available. I try to stick to one for a couple of weeks at least and only then switch. I am now near that phase where I am itching to try something new. So, I am keeping my fingers dropped that ATOM drops the latest version (4.2) for maguro ... I know the dev already released a toro version (few days ago).

Bugless beast is my suggestion for essentially stock... CNA is my preference for a ROM with many customizations, but I don't believe either have a 4.2 build yet (could be wrong). Currently using MMuzzy's 4.2 ROM for my toro gnex and very pleased.

Hi guys, I'm fairly new here (been lurking for years though) and more of a hardware guy than a software guru.
I have my One V (non-rooted) for a few years now. Its CPU and half a gig of RAM were giving me a lot of trouble before I started using Auto Memory Manager and a custom launcher - Apex.
Now performance is acceptable, but I just want to root already and.get rid of Sense, all immortal bloatware and have better multitasking.
Went through the web pages of all popular roms such as AOPK, CM, MIUI, etc., but my phone is not.listed anywhere as an officially supported.device.
I'm not looking for anything flashy, just the opposite - looking for a simple, naked rom with only google play store and.nothing else, small memory footprint and.stable. Don't need bluetooth, camera, etc., don't want to overclock or anything, just a clean, fast rom without Sense, stable enough not.to crash my.alarm and get me fired..
Oppinions.about Primou? Other suggestions?
Thanks.in advance.
Anyone?

u can try Cyanogen Mod 10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653961
To be honest, I've used the device for a long time and Ignorance v5 has been the best performing and most stable ROM for me but it's sense-based. You should try CM10 because it's a great ROM. Another ROM which I really liked is SlimBean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49763436.
In any case I suggest installing PurePerformanceX ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670 ) and TurboBoost ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 ). These mods will make the device noticeably faster and more responsive. You can also odex your ROM if you want to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390162.
Thanks everyone, but why isn't my device listed as supported in thr CM10 web page?
Greetings!
These "best ROM" type of threads inevitably lead to disaster, mayhem, and general havoc. Therefore, I am going to close this thread down to avoid any harsh times if you will.
Just take a gander at the various ROMs and their features in the development area and see what appeals to you. I just got a OnePlus One and have spent the last 3 days flashing pretty much every ROM the phone has to offer, and I can tell you there are nuances that no one could have told me about, before I found the one I currently like.
Happy hunting!
