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.

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

Not really, trip is very bipolar and takes his fans in the roller coaster ride with him. One moment he is on the very cusp of a finished rom, the next he is packing up and quitting development. This repeats over and again. Plus, his rom looks to be held together by duct tape. A Frankenstein of rom at best.
Who knows what's going on with cm9? I don't care anymore as the Htc rom has really gotten pretty good thanks to our devs. I don't think they are any further than trip is. Sounds like we need more from Htc to get things working right.

I believe the truth is that ICS AOSP is stuck with getting the camera to work as well as getting GPU/full HWA to work right. No one has this working, yet, and is likely why Kmobs is enjoying his GN now instead of the Sensation. Everyone is pretty much stuck until HTC releases more code to us.

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!

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...

well im running the stock galnetmiui, and it seems stable enough. i cant believe ICS has been available all this time. im gonna try to slip faux123's kernal in now.
If this is it how come CM and others aren't using it to get their cameras working?
galnet is just a framework merge to ICS it doesnt have the ICS APK's, yet that is. im guessing thats why cm team hasnt used the code, cm team is probably using the ics camera APK.
also faux123's ds kernal v 048 is working fine so far.
It doesn't have much of anything from ics except a couple of things it just just has 4.0.3 in the build prop, you can do that with 2.2 builds. I don't even think it has the basics from ics in it. It is not worth the flash IMO. It is a basic miui build with some tiny modifications that are not noticeable again IMO

From what I gathered while on it that was when it first came out, it is a flash over zip you have to install latest miui and them the ics layover (kinda like a theme for 2.3.3) not really though lol. I didn't even notice anything different at all.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
So general consensus is no this is not 4.0.1, it's just MIUI with a BS version number.

By that logic, Tsugi has "Some ICS Code" in it... as in, I used some of the images out of ICS in the theme, as well as a little xml and the screen animations. Doesn't make it ICS.

Why are they banned?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say because they falsify information in their roms most likely. Callin this 4.0.1 is completely inaccurate. Just because it has a couple of "ICS features".
If I remember right it is just the fact the galnet asked if there versions would not be put on XDA

So in other words, the latest build the dev team has put out is just an amalgamation that's only partially ICS with the rest of it being part and parcel Gingerbread, huh?
Really looking forward to seeing hardware acceleration. I couldn't tell ya whether it'll really be the next thing since sliced bread.
Any word on whether this might allow us to run games more smoothly? I think I read somewhere that it's also a matter of developers writing code into their games that make better use of Nvidia's GPU? With the Tegra 2 being a CPU that's bound to age in 2012, I have to doubt that ICS will help us in games.

Guy this question has been asked a thousand times with a thousand different answers. There is no top or stable ROM, they are ALL GREAT. Only what you feel best using and your needs of it. Try a few on for size and see what works for you and feels best for you. Coredroid for a stock look or absolution 3.7 for a no sense. But then these are my favorites but watch how many more responses you get till you get closed.

Look, I use my phone as a work phone (so I need an amount of stability), and I find aospx AR28 stable enough for a daily (that said, AR26 saw fewer freezes and reboots, food for though).
However, if you need camcorder, aospx (any ICS?) isn't for you.

Well lets start with congrats man on getting an Inspire. The Inspire community is awesome and there is a constant flow of great work being done by the amazing devs here. First, please search. I don't mean to come off as a jerk but it is part of the rules you agreed to when you signed up and literally if you searched "best rom" or "stable rom" you would most likely see what we have all been telling you and that is: There is no best stable ROM. Every ROM has its issues. What one person swears by another person won't. Only you know what you're willing to live with and live without. Try some ROMs out and see what works best. Here are my recommendations but they are by no means an all inclusive list of "best ROMs", just my personal preference.
Sense 3.5 = Bindroid
Basically stock = Cleardroid
AOSP/CM = Absolution
ICS = Redemption or Melchizedek
if i could stay on one rom long enough to find out if it's stable or not would be a great thing. stupid ROM A.D.D.

Don't forget cyanogen7.2 (newest release) for a wide variaty of customization.
Like others said before there are tons of roms in the developer section of the xda/inspire4g.
Welcome to the freedom of android. The best thing about rooting is the personalization. You can find just about any theme, os, app, or widget you can imagine.
Start with the ace hack kit, read the effin manual (that's what its called) do some reading on the available roms, download from the site or open up rom manager (if available) flash from rom manager.
Which ever rom you choose remember read the first post on the dev thread back and forth up and down. Once you do that...... read it again. All the important info you need for that rom is in the first post.
If you have questions on terms or what something is. Just Google said something followed by xda htc inspire 4g and you should find exactly what your looking for.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.

As stated none can tell you what rom will work best or be the most stable on your device and your set up. Even stock roms have bugs. It is just something you live with or dig in and try to fix when you own a smart phone.
Just pay attention to the OP of each thread and so the proper research and you will be fine.
