What ROM and Kernal do you think i should flash?
I want a fast, stable rom... I think stock is pretty fast but i haven't installed any custom roms yet so i dont know how fast it can be...
But i also want a decent battery life... right now i get about 15 hours on stock but i do use my phone pretty heavily.
and please dont just tell me to flash them and find out which ones i like... i dont have time, and i need a stable phone.
*I heard TPC v3 with Da_G's kernal was good but a while ago i heard it had SOD problems? is that still a problem or can it be fixed?
**I'm also thinking undervolting would be good. can someone give me instructions on how to do that, and what frequencies to use to improve battey without a noticable speed difference
Flash them all. Pick the one YOU like the most. All have pros and cons.

i flashed sky-ics and when i pull down on the notification bar nothing happens..
Personally I am on stockmod 2 with silver's kernel. But everybody had their own opinion. That'd why I said try them all. Use each fir a couple days then go with the one you like. Don't forget nandroid before you flash anything, just in case.

if you dont have the time to flash multiple ROMs to see which one you like then you shouldnt be trying to mod your phone at all. flashing a different ROM successfully and restoring your previous settings with titanium backup is about the shortest amount of time you can spend modding. its the more than likely troubleshooting that comes with using non official software that takes up the bulk of the time. and no ROM is perfect and we dont know the balance of stability and speed your looking for, so we could all say a different ROM-kernal combo and you would be in the same situation of having to try a few out.
if you must know at this moment i am using skyics 7.4 with fauxs kernal but yesterday i was using alien rom with da_g s kernal which i flashed on saturday and before that i was switching off between quikwiz and buoyancy with a stockish kernal. i plan on using NexusMod 4 when it comes out for a little bit.
it all depends on my wants/needs from a ROM at that particular point in time.
Go with TPC, is faster than stock and just as stable. TPC was the ONLY Tom without sod issues, on any kernel, but I recommend faux's sky-kernel 009m and the fauxclock app to undervolt, waaaay better battery
I tried 4-5 ROM`s in last few weekis since I got Skyrocket. I am now on Sky-Ics 7.4fast ROM and it is the best one I used so far.
I've been on SKY-ICS for a couple of weeks also and have been fine it. But I agree you just need to install some ROMs and decide which you like best. I also liked the Coke ROM.
But these are all gingerbread, where is ice cream sandwich???
My wife has a Galaxy Captivate which has much better dev support and she's running ice cream sandwich. Ice cream sandwich is way better than gingerbread!!!
You should flash them all and find out which one you like best.
I didn't have time to read either...see how that works.
A. Making demands of other peoples time is not nice. Politely asking for something if you have put the time in reading and researching on your own but still cannot find an answer is a lot better.
B. Not reading is going to end you up BRICKED!
C. ROMS and Kernels act different for different people. I have issues with the current UCLA3 kernels, but others do not. This is not unusual with kerenls and ROMS on this phone.
D. Currently, I am using Alien 6 and the Kernel that Romracer included (non-UCLA3 update) and I like it alot. I havn't had a chance to test it 100% but so far so good. The kernel, however cannot be under / over clocked or volted.
So good luck, I have a feeling you are going to need it.

You need to relax, take a chill pill, breathe in, breathe out. Feel better now?
Most people don't know that because we don't spend every waking moment of our lives on XDA reading every thread through and through. This kind of info should be on a sticky or on a wiki in blatantly obvious fashion so anyone coming to this subforum can easily find the answer to why there is no ICS for the Skyrocket.
I have been running the HFS rom since v1, and for the most part it's been very nice. However, I was saddened to learn today that the dev will not be working on the g2x anymore. I know there are a few other ICS roms available, but I do not know a whole lot about them as I've mostly been in the HFS forum. If this dev does in fact leave, which ROM would you recommend for replacement (ICS only plz) and why? (highlights and lowlights to be aware of??)
Thanks!! (hopefully this information will help out a lot of people)
I could be wrong but didn't the HellFire ROMs come from the Phoenix Blood ROMs? If they did then they took queues from EaglesBlood. That would be the one I would recommend. I am currently on a Gingerbread MIUI ROM but anytime I want to used a CM based ROM I always go with EaglesBlood because it has always seemed really stable and gets good battery life. The dev also is quick to respond and does his best to fix any problems. Just as an FYI there are 2 versions of EaglesBlood ICS:
This one is based off of the AOSP source code Here
This one is based off of the CyanogenMod CM9 source Here
Hope this helps!
I doubt hell is going to end his rom. All the cm9 based ROMs are about the same. AOKP is pretty nice. I like the clean and bare bones AOSP thing that eagle's blood has going on. Really these are just toys for now tho.

i've used pretty much all the ICS roms on here and by far the best have been Genesis and HFS
I'm not sure if I like Domination or HFS better because I haven't used HFS since 1.7 and I've been on Domination for quite sometime now. I'll be on HFS once the next update comes out. HFS has always been a favorite of mine, but Owain's ROM tempted me over and I've been on it since.
Genesis is really cool, but I prefer the CM9 power widget over the AOKP one.
I actually haven't tried EB since build 1. Maybe if I get bored, I'll switch to it again sometime, but I'm pretty happy with Domination and HFS.
In my opinion you just have to use some roms and find which fits your feel the best. I've went through maybe 3-4 ICS roms before finally sticking with ASOP 4.0.4 EaglesBlood for the (in my opinion) battery life and performance.
My phone loves Domination by Owain94, all others seem to not agree with mine so just try all of them and see what she likes

I agree. I tried HFS and it was really laggy on my phone. Performance wise eagles blood was much better.

been using it for 2 months, just flashed build 5, still not laggy. best ics rom ive used for g2x
until there is a rom that EVERYTHING is fully functional, i'll pass on ICS for right now.
Ok, so I've rad the skyICS rom installed for a while and it functions fine. Bugs here and there. Anyways I want to start fresh on an actual ICS rom, but not following the forums for at least a month I am overwhelmed with all the ones available.
Basically all I need is a stable rom with good battery life. If you can point me at ones you think have good battery life I can go from there. Just looking for a little direction.
mhx superlite is really popular, he's a good dev, as well as seancreamz ics - the real thing 4.1 alpha 3. Can't forget team perfection with appdroid and wali01x, my personal fav
I use smooth ice since it has the most complete asop them.

I'm on superlite... but when clicking on some functions it FCs (like the button to the left of the green phone button in the dialer). I wonder if this is a defect of the leak itself.
What makes wali01x your favorite? May I ask, since it seems you have tried all of these, what are the main differences?
Thanks!

fcs indicate improper flash. wali01x is not my fav, the rom is. but if u do happen to read this i still luv u wali! (no homo). Read each rom description for the differences, most are subtle, and if they are of priority to u, most users end up leaning a certain way

sad sad day... is appdroif and the rest of team perfection going to continue, or are they eventually planning on following suite?
I like two roms
Super lite by mhx
SKy ICS by saenz
My favorite is
Sky ICS (New one, not GB), which is built from ICS leak.
sky ice if you follow directions well (IF YOU DONT)
ice super lite (more easy simplle)
following directions sky ice simple as can be no issues and im retarded at times and i managed
def Sky ICS from Seanzscreams. Updates are huge improvements. Couple bugs here and there but overall solid and fast.
I just installed nexusmod ICS zero today its running smoothly and the interface is quite nice.
yeah Seanzscreams's roms are pretty popular I would say.
Seanzscreams ROM's have always been rock solid for me. Buttery smooth, great battery life and the customizations are endless. You can really make it your own. It acts as my nandroid when I want to try out new stuff.
NexusMod ICS Zero for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
NexusMod ICS Zero is where it's at! Been running the Beta 7 for several days and it is smooth as silk, beautiful and amazing battery life compared to stock.
I am now getting about 32 hours with moderate use. I was lucky if I had 6 hours on the I727 stock Rom!
Do yourself a favour and test it out! You WILL NOT be disappointed!
I've been running sky ics ucld2 build since it came out. It has great battery life and has a lot of options and will make a flash junkie out of you if you aren't already. But I was using mod1441's nexusmod gb before ics leaked and found it suitably stable and I trust his ics rom is just as satisfying. I'd say if you're down for messing around a lot and seeing what you can get your skyrocket to do (which may require a few broken eggs here and there but some really good f'ing omelets) then try sky ics. But keep current with the thread because people are finding new stuff to mess with every day. I've not used the latest nexusmod so I really have no ground to call it "the more conservative choice" but I'd imagine that's the way to go if you want a very nice stable quality rom that is more or less worry free. I've also heard nice things of embryo and alien has it's own very devoted following.

Alien is always a good bet. It all depends on what you are looking for. A ROM like Sky ICS offers heavier theming and add-ons while a ROM like Alien offers a solid and dependable optimized Base with a few upgrades and extras.
hopefully i dont offend anyone here but how come most of the roms on this development section for the ns4g ics based? just asking because i see alot based on ics......

like it or not ICS is a really good upgrade over GB, I personally don't care much for the colors they decided to use, but it works really well. it took me a long time to accept it
you can still find the GB roms though, maybe not so many still in development but I imagine it's pretty hard to make GB much better than what we have already.
I agree. I found it hard to let go of GB because I was on it for so long, but ICS is just so much better IMO in just about every way.
ICS grows on you. I didn't want to move from GB at first either. I'd rather get used to ICS now than later though. It's what android will be like for quite a while.
There's new stuff everyday: HBO Go finally works on ICS, the Nova Launcher finally allows a vertical scrolling drawer, etc.

Because it would be a waste of time developing on anything else when ICS is the most current OS? Is there something I'm missing here?
I think OP question ia how come ns4g have rom based ics eventhough they not receive ota for ics..right?where is the code..
Sorry if im wrong..just ignore my post if im wrong..ahaha

Hello, I finally got my wife to agree to let me root and put a custom rom on her infuse, currently running froyo. I just rooted it last night and was looking around for some stable ICS roms. I found lots of discussions about which roms were best but had a somewhat more difficult time finding the links to said roms. And stability is a must here as she knows absolutely nothing about messing around with phones. Also GPS and Bluetooth are absolute musts as well. She finally agreed to let me do this after seeing galaxy s2 running CM9. So I was kinda leaning towards a cm9 rom, a lot of the ones I saw though listed Bluetooth problems so I was wondering whose cm9 would be best for what I'm looking for here. That being said I am open to all stable ICS roms, not just tunnel visioned on cm9. So, if you all give me some good stable ICS rom, and their links, I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Just my 2 cents worth.......been d/l ROMs since GB........the JB ROMs that are out now are more stable than ICS.
Edit: biggest problem is, most of the Devs have moved on to JB.
ICS and jb both have camera recording problems... so jwep that in mind, jb has a slow but working GPS

In addition to the above comments. I would also caution you about future wife beatings and crazy ass tandrums if your giving a rooted phone to her. I know your asking about ICS, and some are suggesting Jellybean, however the best thing you can do for her is to put a rooted Gingerbread ROM like the following and just yank out whatever junk you don't want and keep it running smoother then stock!:
- Infused 2.2.3 (Extremely stable ROM that i used as my daily driver without incident for almost a year! Disadvantage is that it is no longer being developed. But really, it doesn't need anything else done to it.. absolutely everything just works!)
- Aeon (This is one of the newer Gingerbread ROM's that is still being updated and mantained. Also a very stable ROM where everything just works. The downside in my opinion is the Themeinig that is build into the ROM. Great for most, but not for everyone.)
Both of the above are excellent choices for a wife! And they are both built off of stock firmware so everything works.
Believe me, i would normally never reccomend someone go back to Gingerbread, but as she is coming from Froyo she will notice a big improvement. Also, from one man to the next. I can tell you, my bigest mistake was replacing my wifes crack berry with my older rooted X10. It was great for me, but for her she just wants things to work. The second something doesn't work, she turns into the hulk! I absolutely love to tinker and i'm never done messing with my phone, but don't assume your wife will appreciate the challenges as much as you would! I ended up just putting it back to bone stock and gave it to her with the understanding that she was not to complain to me anymore! LOL
Oh one last thing.. the saying really is true.. "A happy Wife is a happy Life!" LOL
