Which one are you using??
I tried both but haven't seen a difference on either..
But overall there are some things that aren't working that made me go back to my previous rom.

I had a lot of FC's on Hellfire's initial build, tried the second version, it was a bit better but then switched to EB's version and everything seems to work. I also installed the latest Faux kernel to save on battery.
both have issues at the moment. remember this is just an alpha build so you will have issues. just give it about 2 - 3 months. right now i'm using HF GB 1.9. it is soooooooooo smooth that i haven't wanted to reflash ICS. IMO HF 1.9 is clearly the best GB ROM out there. also HFS was stable when I had it. I didn't have any issues with it. no FC or anything other than just the normal stuff not working.
I have been running HFS for several days now and it has been running very smoothly for an Alpha release. Looking forward to updates in the near future.
Have any of you tried self kang 3? Not to through the topic off course.
I think HFS is most stable of the two.
I have tried both. Right now, I prefer EB but that is just my preference. They are both fine roms.
Right now i just like the look of EB over HF
Hadn't tried Hellfire but I'm using eglesblood. Using it because don has more experience with ics cuz he has the nexus an everyone seems to like his rom on the gnex. Not saying it to bash hell, just that has less experience but I can see hell has a lot of potential.

HFS v.1.1
Haven't tried EB ICS, but am very happy with HFS. I've had no problems since I flashed it when it came out. My phone has an uptime of 4.5 days without a FC or glitch. Right now it's my daily driver till v1.2 comes out.

Phone: Rooted G2x
Rom: HFS v1.1
OC: 1200 Mhz
I'm using eb right now because its the most stable atm. I'm a big fan of hell's work so as soon as its as smooth as hellfire , I'm flashing It.

Faux kernel hasn't made any battery saving changes yet, just adding OC/UV and DS Driver
I just installed EB and it's pretty much perfect. Runs smooth as hell, and I love the new ICS stuff. I am having a huge issue with not being able to get any data connection though. I've read and re-read through the pages of the original post but couldn't find anyone mentioning this issue. I have tried to manually add the apn and it doesn't seem to save the settings. Has anyone else had this issue with EB? Does anyone have a simple fix for this issue?
Thanks for reading.
Both great
Both roms are great, ive used em both and currently running HFS, I wish the camera would get sorted out soon otherwise they are both pretty great.
Hello, everyone!
I have nothing but love for the HellFire ICS ROM, and have been using Hell's ROMs since Hellfire Phoenix 1.5.
I used EB for a while a few months back, but preferred the CM7 UI and stayed with that until I first tried the Hellfire ROMs.
I've noticed that EB ICS rom lags a bit when I hit the app drawer, not really a big deal, but gets annoying sometimes, I'm not sure if its the same for Hellfire?

I'm starting to get annoyed by my phone's habit of restarting mid call. I am using cyanogenmod 7, nightly 225. I cannot download the latest nightly (download is glitched).
For stability, what would the members of xda reccomend?
(at the same time as posting this, I am researching the pros and cons of various roms too)
For stability and reliability, use Bionix Reloaded v1.2.1 or v1.3. It is based off if the official 2.3.3 release from LG, so uses their drivers and whatnot.
If you want more speed and customization, I recommend EaglesBlood v2.8. It is based off of one of the lastest CM7 sources. I am currently using this and it works the same if not better, than Bionix. Battery life is slight less however, so I use Faux's kernel.
I would use ICS ROMS, but they're not yet to the point that I like. But based on the speed and commitment of our devs, they will be there soon.

I agree with this..
I have been using EB and it is by far one of the best ROMs I've used. This only issue I had was the SoD while charging overnight. But since I changed the screen to not sleep while charging I haven't had the issue as of yet. (Settings/Application/Development--check Stay Awake) I have also heard that raising the idle (or sleep??) CPU speed also helps, but I never tried that ...
I'm using whitehawkx aokp. I havent had any issues running faux's kernel. Morfics drained my battery in 4 hours and phone froze.

Why? The current nightly is far more stable than the last "stable" release.

They also have so many more updates than the last stable one, which was made in October.

I had been using CM7, but eventually grew unhappy with it. A number of programs, like Plants vs Zombies and T-Mobile Visual Voice Mail didn't work with it, and I found I needed to reboot the phone every once in a while to make data work, and occasionally the phone would not wake up after being charged and required a battery pull. So I switched to the OTA 2.3.3, which has, surprisingly, been very stable for me. Everything works, and the phone has not restarted (either by itself or be me) since I installed it. You could also try some of the ROMs based on the OTA, though I am not entirely sure which ones those are.
You can try my rom witg faux... it is stable.. not marketing just an advise..

A nightly (by definition) is not meant to be stable. If it was, it would be called 'Stable', not 'Nightly'.
It's not supposed to work 100% with full features and functions. They're known to have bugs. Any developer doesn't have to publish their nightly, or a beta, or an alpha. But they do because it helps tremendously with bug tracking, trouble shooting, problem solving, etc.
So when someone complains of a nightly or a release candidate NOT working, I simply point and laugh loudly at them.
I'm sorry if that sounds rude or harsh, but when someone uses a nightly, they should understand what that means.

I understand you completely when people blatantly bash a nightly - but that was not my goal. All i wanted to find was a stable rom, because (as you said) the latest nighties aren't exactly reliable. Of-course it's not 10000% stable, which is why i made this thread, to find a more "everyday driver" of a rom.
(not to be rude)
Thank you for all the reccomendations, i will try out a few rom's to see what i like best

EagledBlood v.2.8
I'm testing it all stock with no overclock, etc. and so far it's been pretty decent.
I was using EagleBlood ICS last week, but I need a reliable camera for daily pics of my kids and stuff. So that was out within a couple hours. Otherwise ICS is a really nice fresh change of pace. I been running many varients of 2.3.4 and 2.3.7 from CM7 to nearly everything in between.
So far, EaglesBlood has been very reliable
I am running ICS (AOKP?) on my G2x, and have installed many apps. Recently I noticed that the phone kind of runs slow - sometimes laggy when I open such as apps as pandora and google docs, etc. That makes me wonder if I should look for a faster ROM. Which one is the fasted? ICS is generally more resource hungry? or Gingerbread could be lighter and faster generally speaking?
Go with an OC/UV kernel instead. You can try faux049b5 or morfics or harsh 1904 or 1504 with OC. They are all good in their own sense.
The respective links of the kernels are in the development section.
Anything besides ICS
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well, there's a few things we need to know. Who's ROM are you using? EaglesBlood, Hellfire, CM9, Team Kangs? And what kernel are you running? The stock included in the ROM or did you flash a different one?
I'm using EaglesBlood ICS 4.0.3 with stock Faux Kernel. I didn't have that issue. That's one recommendation. Depending on which one your using will depend in other recommendations. If you decide you use AOSP (MIUI) instead I recommend Stormaggedon's ROM's. MIUI.us kept giving me force crash errors for force crash errors for a force crash error for reporting the force crash on start up. Didn't matter how long it sat nor how many times I restarted it.
Try EaglesBlood first. I'm about to clash Hellfire ICS with the harsh kernel. I'll let you know how that runs.
Edit: HellFire ICS with Harsh Kernel works nice. Its smooth, no lag, oh and in the developers settings have kill all apps when you leave them. Try that as well.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Pretty much all the roms are fast on here. Its what you use your phone for and install on it that eventually start slowing it down.
I know I personally favor the hellfire phoenix rom, but asking or saying which rom is the best/fastest is kinda ignorant as they all are the best for their own reasons.

Your missing one update. He's up to 1.09 now. Oh and um... yeah, GB is slow. Something I figured out when I made the change to ICS. But, I think I'll humor it. Ive been looking for a half decent GB rom. Might try EB's out.

Are you saying ICS roms are faster then any gb rom?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Go with any GB rom (CM7.2 RC1 for me with Faux kernel), they are much smoother and faster than ICS roms currently are. I have tried every ICS rom (even with harshs latest kernels as of yesterday) and while they have made great strides I find CM7.2 RC1 to still be much smoother and faster (especially under heavy usage).
trying hellfire 2.1 with faux kernel
what do u use and with what kernel? and what is the best set up?
You can't have other people choosing for you! lol everyone will have their opinions and liking towards different roms. I personally go for CM9 + InstigatorX's kernels. Some people go for AOKP or Chimaira other AOSP based and use Instigator's kernels. From there you have to choose which version or which governer is to your liking, if you prefer a certain setting like performance ones or power saving ones etc...
As for CM9 and AOKP I am an avid CM9 user but have used AOKP before. AOKP has a lot of customization right out of the box, CM9 is going from the ground up so they add features slowly and is constantly update almost once a day. AOKP they release one update every say 10-15 days~ and occasional milestone which will have more features than fixes. I like seeing updates gradually come and look forward to them on a daily bases thats why I stuck with CM9 and I like it for its stability. I've had a few FC's on the older AOKP but those are probably gone now with the latest milestone but features and readily available tweaks, the unicorn has them all (AOKP). I would personally make a nandroid back up and test them out yourself to see if its to your liking. My preference may not be the same as yours so its each to their own. :good:
Thanks for the reply bro, just wondering what the peeps on here were using, I think I'm going to stick with cm9, I really dig it, but I was wondering what kernel should I add, its a big mess with a bunch of releases on that forum lol

More 'features' in 4.0. But it may bootloop you. If you're ok with dealing with that then 4.0. I myself am trying to decide and I don't want to deal with bootloops so I just, right this second, decided to go with 2.2.1

I would go with 4.0. I was having trouble with my phone looping when I put on UCLF6 modem, I switched to the newest kernel and everythings been smoother. I would also say don't be afraid to try things out. Usually you will know what you like and don't like after you test a few configurations.
Just backup and keep multiple versions of the kernel in your SD so you can switch just in case it fails to boot. I'm currently using 4.0 badass underclocked to 1.1ghz when idling/light use and use smartassv2 when I play games.

I use Chimera RC2 and it is amazing with InstigatorX kernel. Had some trouble getting it to run at first but finally got it to run. As for setup, I prefer performance so I am working on getting it to stabilize with 1.7-1.8 OC. I am still testing governors and UV settings but SmartassV2 benchmarked pretty damn high compared to badass and ondemand.
RC3-(Official?) should correct issues and may be released today

For those having battery life issues here are some UV settings that I posted up in InstigatorX's thread. They have been stable for the past 36 hours.

In my humble opinion, CM9 tends to be a touch more stable than AOKP. But remember AOKP at its essence is CM9 with extra features thrown on, so it's bound to have the potential for a few more bugs. But both are very stable and won't give you any more issues than any other ROM really. Basically it's a question if AOKP's features are something you feel you want. I recommend spending about a week with both and then deciding.
Where can I get an stable official aokp download? I can't find it anywhere!!!! So annoying

No such thing as of yet. AOKP is based of cm, and that's not stable yet either.... that being said, this is pretty close:

In my opinion the best rom I have used and still use is Aeon v1.4L or whatevver the newest one. Its still gingerbread but stable and gives me fast service speeds.
On gingerbread: miuiscotland_I997-2.4.17
On ICS: RemICS-UX
On JB: RemICS-JB or CM10
In my opinion:
For GB: ZEUS 6.0 or Aeon 1.4SL
For ICS: Uni-yuma-Porn B.40
And for JB: ParanoidAndroid

GB. Stock rooted. Sorry to admit it but I had battery or lag issues with most of the others I tried.
ICS. Cm9- although its the only one I stuck with for more than a few days.
Job. Tried cm10 and paranoid android. I liked cm10 better. All the extras inPA weren't much use to me. GPS doesn't work well in any jb Roms though so I'm back on cm.
catyrom works pretty good. its GB with an ICS look.
paranoid android was good for me in both ICS and JB, however i have been running the Cypher ROM for the last 4-5 weeks and that is the longest i have been on one ROM in quite a while.
Zues has always been strong for GB too.
CM10 rocks
I have never tried any other than stock ROM until I saw JB released. I realized that I should have this on my Infuse.
I tried cypherROM, CM10 and ParanoidAndroid. To me I felt that PA and CM10 are almost same, but felt CM10 is faster(though they use same source).
cypherROM is different UI feel and I personally like it better than CM10 in terms of it's UI colors.
I've found that I simply hate ICS and JB. As far as I'm concerned, the "best" ROMs are either a rooted and slightly customized stock UCLB3, or CM7.2.

Scott's CM10. Use FasterGPS, and change your GPS settings according to instructions in the thread. The initial lock will take a while, but after you get the first lock, it's within a matter of seconds that I can lock onto 7 satellites within SECONDS inside work, (which is an all metal building that is an auto dealer). I don't know about Bluetooth, since I don't use that function, but I have no issues with the camera at all, or internet speeds. I am extremely happy with CM10, and the ability to overclock easily.
