I just updated my firmware and installed my first ICS ROM, i'm interested to know others opinions on why you chose the ROM you did and why you are still running it. Please share. Thanks
Trips CM9. It's proven to be quite stable in my use, good battery life, everything works smoothly. I'm perfectly happy with it.
..everything except camera recording, bluetooth and whatnot.. Alpha quality.
OpenSensation (or something..) because I hate trip, Vquattro stopped and sense sucks.
was using trips cm9 really liked it, fast and stable but just couldn't get mms working so i've gone to insertcoin with shinzlons aosp theme
ARHD 6.2.1 + Rom Cleaner + Shnizlon AOSP Theme. Stable, reasonably fast, good looking. But I'm keeping an eye om the OpenSensation dev thread

I don't use those, which, if you had read my post, is why I said that I am nevertheless perfectly happy with it. Why don't you angsty anti-trip pricks find something better to do than troll in any thread in which his name is mentioned? Lots of people like and use his rom. Deal with it, angry assholes.

None of us have showed hatred towards him. Calm your tits.
I'm using ARHD 6.2.1 but am only using this because it seemed to be the most stable with the features I wanted. However, I am seriously considering VI.
I'd love to install a fully stable CM9, though.
Legends Blitz 5 (nosense) or VI 3.0...because they rock...try a few! Happy Flashing!!
I used almost every ICS rom,and i am now on ARHD 6.2.1,virtuos inquisition is really great rom but after some time it become so laggy,i dont have that kind of problem with sense roms and they look pretty.
When trip solve bluetooth and camera recording i will flash cm9,until then im stuck with these one
Honestly can't go past the Elegancia Rom...IMV I think it is superior to anything I have used before - by a long shot.
I've been on baadnewz's InsertCoin 4.5.4 for the last couple of days and I love it. It was as though the ROM search had done a full circle. The big ass sense flip clock on the home screen of the stock ROM was probably the catalyst that triggered it all. "Dang, could this be the reason for my battery drain?" And so it began, the quest for the perfect Rom. The de-sensed versions were all tried out. They were stable - most of them - but they didn't show incoming calls on the lockscreen. They looked washed out on the sensation screen; maybe it's just me, but AOSP did seem " blurry" on the sensation.
Finally, sense prevailed. I put InsertCoin on, and sure enough, the big ass flip clock appeared bang in the middle of the homescreen. The battery life wasn't that pleasing either. But then, baadnewz had mentioned in his thread to be patient for a couple of charge cycles. Sure enough, today I've not charged my phone, and it's been cruising for the last 8 hours with 30% battery remaining. I've a hunch it'll get better.
I got the sense 4 golden wallpaper, and it looks beautiful.
And the big ass flip clock? Well, I replaced it with the smaller flip clock that has the weather to the right of it.
God bless the ROM developers that are working to make the Sensation a better user experience.

P.S.: The Sense 3.6 email client has the same deficiencies that Sense 3 had. It doesn't support push mail from corporate servers, and the inbox gets only plain text email. The Cyanogenmod email client can be installed, and it is a joy to hear the "clink" when email comes through, and to see them formatted the way they were sent. Baadnewz and the others - are you listening? This could/should be baked into future ROM releases.

what i like with ics insertcoin rom is that it is really fast, compared of course from the other roms i tried before. the smoothness really impressed me from the start and that up to now it still have not received any reboots or even htc fc's, granted i have only been using it for 2 days but i'm just really happy about it. i have really no issue with the battery since its always plugged in usb even when at home.

Your post suggests everything works. Guy steps in and points out that not everything works and you attack him. I see no troll like qualities in his post. Any ROM with non functioning hardware is alpha quality and this is no insult to the dev just a fact. Peace.
I'm enjoying insert coin ROM 4.5.0, along with the leedroid tweaks lite mod. No reason other than it works and baad is quite an active dev. Gonna update version soon but baad releases so often I can't be bothered flashing new ROM for relatively small changes every second day. Every couple of weeks will do me.

Coming from Captivate, the inspire Is like the best phone I have ever used. So smooth and snappy. Everything just works, especially GPS. Even stock rom with all the att bloatware was great.
Can't explain the performance. the specs are pretty similar btw the two phones. my captivate could slow down even with the best roms.

+1 I love my Inspire so much. I'm staying strictly full original with mine. This machine is just a pure gorgeous pleasure to use. There's something to say about grabbing ahold of cold metal. It just feels significant. The same goes for the lowly HTC Freestyle, which I looked at in the store. It also is made from metal.
I too am a big fan of the phone. This was the big winner in my Atrix vs Inspire shootout. There's a thread about it.
One of my main issues was the battery life. That was a real sticking point for me on the Inspire. However, after switching to Leedroid's rom with SetCPU on the default (smartass) setting, I'm currently at 45 hours with 4 hours of awake time, and 30% of my battery left... It's ridiculous.
I'm on revolution 3.3. I wonder if set cpu works also. I'm getting full day of average use without an issue right now with stock.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I think that depends on if they used an OC kernel. LeeDroid explains explicitly that he developed several presets for SetCPU for different situations.

I had some concerns about the speaker volume also. But they've alleviated because all stock Inspires do it. It's something to do with an automatic control where the volume is initially low and then progressively gets louder as any sound remains going. I can live with it also, since I know it's a common thing and not a fault in my specific unit.
Beyond this, I would say this is the utmost flagship model for Android. There's something to be said about the cold feel of metal which these are made of. It just seems significant. I wish the other companies would get in on the metal uni-body design.
Odd, I love my Inspire, but the one problem I do have is the GPS. I can rarely get locks, regardless of radio or ROM. Have found no fix for this unfortunately

Sorry to hear! I've messed around with the GPS since I've had it and I haven't had any big issues with it. What impresses me even more is that even with GPS disabled and network location on, it shows a spot within 5-15ft from me!! Almost dead on exact without GPS on lol, I love this phone!!!!
GPS has been hit or miss on depending on rom. MIUI, shoshkai (sp?), dillagif 0.1 only (sp?), and now cognition 1.0.1. All of the others haven't worked so well in terms of GPS.
So I've had approximate 5 Captivates since last July and thinking about getting AT&T to let me switch phones since I've had so many problems.. Tech support said, and I quote "Yeah we've had a lot of problems with these phones, and I'm hoping the S2 can save face for Samsung" - NICE!
Fellow Captivate owners - Is the Inspire the one to go with over the Atrix?
From what it looks like, the pros over the Captivate are:
1. GPS works
2. LED Flash (thought I wasn't going to need this until the phone became my main camera)
The "cons"
1. Not AMOLED, but still a nice display
Anything else? Looks like you can still use custom ROM's on the Inspire..
How is stock battery life on the Inspire (without all the fancy shmancy things running (live wallpaper/facebook widgets, etc) ) ?
Hey all I'm currently running Core Droid on my inspire 4G and was wondering which ROM is best to use? What does everybody prefer, and which is the most customizable.
Another question is can anyone port the Liquid Metal rom to this phone from the G2/Desire Z section?
Every ones going to say cm7 but it just personal Preference.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I've tried a few (including CM7), but kept going back to RCMix 5.9.x because it just works, it's fast, and it's very close to stock. A lot will also depend on if you want a 'vanilla' Android experience, or a build with HTC Sense.
If you think you're going to be experimenting with ROMs, I'd urge you to buy Titanium Backup pro. Well worth the money, it hasn't failed me yet.

There is no "best rom" and the rest of those questions are highly subjective.

As far as ROMs go I really enjoyed CoreDroid but yet I keep coming back to CM7. I just really love the AOSP/vanilla Android experience.
Also whoever mentioned Titanium Backup Pro earlier was spot on it is a MUST have if you flash to different ROMs a lot!

/obligatory "it's a matter of preference" statement./
Personally, I used CM7 for the first month that I had the phone, then I found Ultimate Droid and have been running that since. It has some known bugs (camera FC when you try to apply a color filter) but overall, it's probably the quickest and smoothest rom I've flashed. Then again, I don't care for the Sense UI; so take my opinion for what it's worth.

Do all those roms allow installation of non-market apps? Sideloading seems a bit cumbersome.

if the question is "the most stable" the answer could be the stock rom... but if you want the fastest or the most smooth or the best themed, then answer could be Miui, SuperAosp or Cyanogen ( in my opinion, of course...)

Exactly what I was going to say nearly word for word.
And yes, this is in the wrong section OP
Based on my limited experience, I don't feel the AOSP-based ROMs and kernels are as stable as stock--those random reboots keep happening on my Tmo NS no matter what I do.
The only other ROM that didn't make my fingernails sore from doing battery pulls is MoDaCo, but it hasn't been updated since March.

MIUI is a wonderful ROM. It has a unique UI and is like a breath of fresh air. It is also rock stable. It does have a slight (very slight) lag for me compared to Oxygen or Infin1ty or SuperCM7. That little issue combined with the fact that in the texting app when you enter a name you just get a list of numbers without differentiating Home from Work from Mobile makes it just a tiny bit short of ready for me to use as a daily.
I'll place a vote for Oxygen; haven't flashed anything else since I installed it a few days back. No reboots or problems of any sort, using Netarchy 1.3.5 bfs universal.
Just curious: who here has tried several different ICS ROM/Kernel combos and gone back to GB?
I've tried just about every ICS ROM out there, with a substantial amount of the Kernels, but it's the little things that are starting to bug me, such as my phone freezing up overnight and making me miss my alarm in the morning.
I will never revert to gb. I've been using ics roms since the sdk builds came out and I think the OS has come a long way since then.
Lately, my phone has been running flawlessly with AOKP Milestone 2 4.0.3 with Steve Garon's kernel. Performance has actually exceeded that of any gb aosp rom I've used. Super-smooth, quick, and efficient, zero lag and my OEM battery lasts more than 30hrs.

I too have been on ICS since the SDK dropped, and I really love it. However, I do understand your frustration. I run into bugs and stutters here and there on pretty much every ROM I've tried.
I did revert back to GB (Oxygen 2.3) for a couple days when I was getting annoyed with a few persistent bugs, but swiftly changed back in favor of ICS beauty.
GB seems far more responsive in a lot of places, which i envy. But these ROMs are all still in their early stages and are only going to get better. The official NS4G update hasn't even been released yet.

This. I too revert back to cm7 when I run into a bug or I get fed up with the mini stutters here and there. But once I'm back on cm7, I find myself downloading and flashing new builds of ics. Its beautiful and for the first time it feels like I'm using a new, awesome and complete OS. Gingerbread looks so plain and tacky to me now. Even with themes lol.

I'm never going back to gingerbread, ICS is just so stunning, it contains all these high quality animations and graphics. I think you just haven't tried the right rom. Try AOSP+ by android user and flash Eugenes ICUP kernel and tell me what you think. it will sure drop you jaw cuz its so fast.
Why would anyone revert back to an older version of a software is beyond me. ICS is young compared to GB so of course bugs exist, bit there aren't any bugs that make the phone or any feature unusable

I can completely understand if someone needs rock solid functionality or compatibility with older apps. Luckily, my phone is not critical to my life or job, so I can afford to experiment and run bleeding edge software.
Someone who relies on their phone for work or safety is justified for running a proven, stable os. ICS is improving rapidly, but it is good enough for me and many others as-is.
Me. ICS is just too slow.

Have you tried AOKP or vhgomez's 2.5.1 with a Eugene icup or Steve Garon kernel? My phone is smooth and quick with either combination. In fact, scrolling, browsing, and switching apps using the Recent Apps feature feels much better than with aosp or NSCollab 2.3.7
I haven't tried those two in particular, no. But unless they're a massive leap forward from AOSP there's no chance at all. ICS seems to occupy more RAM as well.

That's a good point. I have yet to find out how these people post such ridiculous battery times with ICS. I don't recall "Android OS" ever eating up so much of my battery on GB.
I went back to GB but came back to ICS, I love ICS but went back because of random reboots and mainly battery life. Now I am on AOSP+ 2.3 with speedy 5 kernal and i found out that after i turned Skype off,that battery life is great, so i think some of the problems are related to software compatibility issues that shouldn't take that much of time to be solved. In general, i think ICS is smoother specially when it comes to the built in browser, plus the native support for my native language ( I liked this sentence ) . Hope Google will solve all the issues with the next update.

Where can I find Steve Garon's kernel? Is it available for the NS4G? I don't which one it is.

Android OS battery consumption is just a bug and does not accurately reflect actual power usage, per Google engineer Dianne Hackborn. Ram usage is just fine as well as ics manages memory very well. I typically have only 50mb of free ram, but experience zero lag or slowdowns.
As far as battery life, I NEVER reached 30hrs with a gb rom, but I exceed that with 4+ hrs of screen on time with Steve Garon's kernel:

It's in the NS4G development forum, listed as 'SG buncha numbers etc'.

I will never revert to gb. I've been using ics roms since the sdk builds came out and I think the OS has come a long way since then.

Agreed with the above. ICS is Android in its best flavour so far. The UI elements are so much more polished and I just love the little touches. Its also faster than gingerbread and honeycomb ever were. And they weren't exactly slow to begin with.
I've had no stability issues so far after just over a month I'm happy to report.

I had problems too, I went with CM9 patch 1 or whatever and didn't uses a kernel and this is working great for me. When things get stable I'll use adifferent kernel

I don't have the option to run the stock ROM, because there is not yet one for the NS4G. However, this is what I am most eager to try, so I hope it comes available soon.
With stock ROM I get:
• 2-3 day battery life
• All apps work
• Strongest signal
• 100% working wifi
• fastest overall, zero load time for almost everything
• and finally I don't need to install gapps or anything
With any other ROM I get:
• Possibly 1 day battery life
• Orgasm if I get any signal at all
• Wifi works completely on one in a billion roms, flaky on most
• Bluetooth rarely works
• No fix for any issues on ROMs that don't have major devs working on them
• Some apps don't work, and on a few ROMs some apps even kill the system and make it hot reboot
• Lag like it's a 3-year-old donut phone with the processor speed of a retarded potato with AIDS
• some need gapps, which is annoying to re-install every time you update, which also, you have to do every few days instead of once a year
So my conclusion is that screw custom ROMs. It might just be my device but that's how it plays out. I'll be much more careful to buy a phone that will have real support in the future, like the SGS II, Captivate, and SGS III do/will have.
Oh yeah and about my sig, that is the only ROM that I've gotten close to working 100%. And he's not a gtg, but he's got more support than big devs like that ever did, so if you're a sheep and need to use custom ROMs go with MoM.

I apologize, but I strongly detest the statement. I do respect every bit of what you have said, but I really do think that it is just a matter of personal use.
I have ran Aeon and other amazing custom ROMs and so far the best I have tried was Zeus 6. There are a few kinks, but hey-- it works!
Consequently, though, it's all a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the debloated stock and customize it their own (i.e., build.prop tweaks, etc).
What I am getting at here is that there is no need to bash other custom ROMs. Although you did not point your finger on any specific one, but it really means a lot for people to like the developers' work. It's an Android Device... This is the main reason we got this: open source.
Wayzate...your really looking to get flamed...lol

I didn't really say anything bad about any specific ROM. Only specific ROM I mentioned is MoM and it was only to say something good.

I get the opposite results of u bro... my lag on stock is sooo bad that I was about to throw my phone on the ground as hard as I could. Ics with some tweaks was awesome, jellybean should be really good if it ever comes. Now on my tablet stock on that is pretty good, with aosp it would fly though.
Trolling like this is unproductive and is intended only to offend those who contribute to this device. My vote is that someone close this thread, and that wayzata start keeping his opinions of devs to himself.
Make sure you zip it up, this is going to be one of those threads, chief haha

Plus, I agree with ryanscool, any time I have to use stock B3, everything is laggy. Personally, I think that Sammy just did such a crappy job on official GB and used halfass or dirty fixes to make it work. So when ppl try to mod, the crappiness comes out...
There are tons of work being done on the Infuse and I was here when ppl said development was dead; you gotta appreciate what's here man.
My advice Way, stay with stock and stop these random threads broskie

Well Jscott, I don't think we are going to change anyone's stance on the matter, I mean, after all we are just "unpopular devs." What do we know. lol

Cute how it's all butthurt devs taking offense to something I didn't even imply, let alone say directly.

I honestly don't see any xda recognized developers replying to your posts. They most likely have better things to do. I'm no dev, and haven't claimed to be. I'm not mad or even remotely upset, but I do think that you're being a troll. It irritates me enough that you're one of the few people that I'll ever choose to ignore on this site - and I must say, for me, that takes a lot, so congratulations on that.
By the way, here's what you've said directly, and it implies plenty to justify people being irritated with your trolling.:
wayzata said:
Anyone still using this? I'm using it as a last option because no custom ROMs seem to be working as fully as this. ICS has a ton of bugs, and modified GB ROMs are made by unpopular devs with little bug support.

Custom Roms are not for everyone so if you prefer a stock rom then go for it.
