My thoughts exactly,
As I've found out in the past much to my annoyance, you can't create a poll once the thread is created, unless you're a moderator!

Sorry guys I did it wrong. I didn't mean to post this because I was unable to create the poll. Oops.

you could PM smokestack76 the moderator with the poll details and he'll be able to create it for you....if you want? although the notion of bestest custom changes every day/week/..........

Was expecting a poll

Yes mate, lol. Took michaelm_007's deodexed release & made some build.prop / init.d tweaks. Couple o cosmetic tweaks too.
2200 on quadrant must have been a good day, bit usually 2000+, & around 375-400mb free ram.
Nice

On a par with most other sense 3 roms
I don't get too excited/upset about battery life, I do have regular access to electricity so its no problem
Of course, you notice if the battery starts draining really fast or seems unusual in some way, but wArtHog isn't like that so mostly I just use the phone & charge it when I see fit.

I did have some roms in the touch diamond 2 forum, a while back now. Think its considered a 'legacy device' now, i.e. too old to bother with lol
I did consider putting it up on the forum, but a) its running the stock kernel, so can't be o/c-ed & b) couldn't be arsed with everyone saying "why doesn't it do this?" or "make it do that" Everyone wants to either o/c or u/v or both, so its a no go.
On the plus side, with the stock kernel, everything - bt, front cam, reader, etc - works out of the box. And tbh, 1GHz is fine for me - well, look at the scores!
Peace

Qualities of Cyanogen-Mod7

Hi guys, just wanted to know what you love about CM7... Many many people use it over sense...
Why?
I've tried it, and tried to like it, but I cant find special qualities it has over other ROMs.
I know some people hate sense, so they use CM7 as its AOSP, but why CM, and not others?
Is it because of the CM settings?
I'm talking about CM7 aswell, not 9, as I know ICS will make a huge difference.
So what are your top features of CM7?
Cheers.

no probs mate another reason why i use cm7 over other roms is the battery life optimization done by the devs that work on it

I have an HTC Incredible 1 and I'm trying to get a fresh upgrade for the UI but still have some of the basics mostly the same. Will I be able to do a track ball unlock mod with CM7?? Also will the camera, video camera, and HD work on my phone? I am pretty excited to try it, but I'm afraid of whiping my phone, yet again.

I got me a new DS

hey there! I just bought me a shiny new Desire S and it's great. I read alot of posts about the best rom. My first custom rom was the incredible "[ROM][3 JAN 12][Endymion V3.3|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][kernel V2.0|ControlCenter]"! But now i switched to "[ROM][19 JAN 12] [4.0.3 AOSP]Virtuous Quattro RC2"!
ICS FTW!!
I don't have anything else to say yet but saying hi!
So: Hi!
and good night/day!
-edit-
I just want to add a big THX to all members of this Forum -especially the developer-part of it! I do it this way because of the 5 THANKS Button-Limit! ;D
Hi.
Welcome to the one of most friendly parts of xda forums. Enjoy Your stay.
Well... Endymion was a good choice. All of us will jump on to ICS when it's going to reach that stable state, but for now... Well...
Hi there.
Watch out for ORD. Chances are you'll catch it soon if you haven't already found yourself with some of the early symptoms.

But... ICS is stable. Ok, there are things not working, but still stable.
"Unstable" is completely different thing.
When it will work for 95% I will switch to ics.

Gee... Thanks for explanation.
By unstable I meant not finished product with features missing and some working partially.
Endymion 3.4 is complete, as there are no bugs, missing bits or compromises in it, hence it is perfect for daily use, both professional and casual.
Heloooooo welcome. We are a friendly bunch LOL

{Poll included} Which FUll ICS based rom are YOU looking forward too

so as we all no Nexx is hard at work getting the 3.0 kernel ready and just about every dev is going to want to use it to fully harness ics on our DS so i wanted to know which ics rom everyone is looking to use as their main one and why, so i'll kick things off
right now i'm leaning towards Blindice as my main rom, i've tried the latest cm9 and a whole load of other ics roms and blindice seems the most stable for me so far, also got the best connectivity out of all the ones i've tried so far

Nice thread
I'm looking forward to Sense based ROMs in the long run, but I don't think they will be ready for a while, to the point where they are customizable with RCTweaks etc.
So I'm looking at CM9. I don't think there will be CM9 Stable so soon. Remember CM7.2 started in December 2010. They got a couple if RC out during January > April. But the final version came October. I'm guessing that officially we will get CM9 RC pretty soon. And the final version with all the tweaks/themes done will come by October like it did with CM7.
If you look at CM9 now, they have a lot of placeholders.

Ahh you may be the one to clear this up for me wats the difference between the rc and stable :s on topic: I used to love cm7 till I realised it was more of a base that everyone seems to use to make some amazing roms cm feels lacking on features for me, I'm looking forward to sense to things like htc watch are quite enticing I must say

RC = Release candidate. It is a build that has been tested quite alot, and has potential to become the final build. This is one step ahead of the nightly builds. Then once they decide which is the stablest RC, it becomes the stable/final.
I certainly agree with you. When Reaper first came, I held off it, for some reason I do not know why, but I recently tried Reaper (in fact still on it currently) and its fantastic.
Yeah some sense apps are excellent and are the main reasons I use it, particularly the camera app. Its miles ahead of AOSP ones.

I'm not to sure about the actual quality, but the UI of the Sense camera app is better.
Simply because it allows touch-to-focus video, face detection, and instant snap mode.

God damn, now I'm considering going back to Endymion, just to have face detection back... cool but pointless feature
Touch to focus works on the CM camera app, but it doesn't work while shooting video.
How often do you use your cam? I only ever use it during holidays or special events. The last time I used it for proper shots (not just the odd picture) was during Christmas.
If I ever want to go back to Endymion, I'm only a Nandroid away

it's not stupid.. i would use blindice, but the overwhelming support for a sense based one would make me try that and likely stick with it.. once the kernel is released most of the roms will all get to a point where every feature works.. on all of them.. therefore it will be the extra merits of the roms for example speed, performance, addons, customisability etc, this thread is too see which one people are looking forward to, thats why i said stable
Continuing on the discussion reg camera, I have observed tha the STOCK Sense camera gives better pictures with lesser noise nad smaller file sizes...
I'd like to see a full Sense 4 port, only reason I'm looking forward to Kernel 3.0. That and 60 FPS graphics across ICS

I tried Trickdroid 7.1 on One S, it's pretty amazing but i too prefer Viper One S battery life, overall tweaks and stability.
do trickdroid and viper both work with t-mobile US, particularly wifi calling and tethering/hotspot hack? I think the 4.0.4 roms are not yet compatible.. anyone?
The viper give me a good battery life
i had great battery life with the stock duo rom, even with a 2.1 GHz overclocked kernel. at least 24 and a couple times close to 36 with medium use. but then i went jellybean and fell in love. but if you optimize your cpu usage, battery life will come with it
