Flash MikShifted G v2.0, or Supreme Sense v9.1 , both Uber Stable.
TEAM MiK
Mik Roms Since 3/13/11
I think that's impossible to say what the most stable rom is. Every rom is going to have a few bugs here and there. Even stock sense non-rooted has bugs
Edit: don't always turn things into a competition. Have you boss learn how to download and flash roms on his rooted phone so he can find out what works best for him.

Not impossible, stable does not mean perfect. Hence I highlighted MOST Also my boss has a busier schedule then I do. Its all good, I received some preferences on the mikG from its great community and its running splendid. Thanks for your help tho!.....
And It wasn't a competition. It was about having a great running rom that he would enjoy and making sure I picked the one that would have the "most" stability being used on a 24/7 basis. But thanks for your help!!
I know about stability. I've been running cm9 since source was released

Well it all depends on what he likes...if he likes sense then that's great but a lot of people including myself think AOSP roms are more stable then sense. Without him flashing his own roms and testing things how will he ever know for himself what he likes?

Honestly I prefer ASOP, but he is used to sense. I figured sense 3.0 would be the easiest transition to something better. From there I began to look into the most stable 3.o sense roms I could find. Having owned 3D I know 3.0 is very business savvy. My goal was to make an assumption of the best possible rom for his needs. He's my boss, but I wasn't told to fix his issues, I was asked if I could.
Hello,
I am coming from the Acer A500, which I really liked running flexreaper. Now I am looking at loading a custom ics rom for the Asus. I know there are lots of differences in roms like the acer so im looking for recommendations. Id like it to be fast (duh) and im big on widgets and making it look flashy, so a bare bones rom isnt for me. What would you recommend? Any custom kernels for it. I like the idea of overclocking. Finally, any must have apps specific to the asus that i should look at? Thanks for all your help!
I've found the Revolver 4 ROM quite stable. You can keep the tablet's functionality and customization pretty stock and it's one of the fastest ROMs available. Some of the other ROMs I've tried include the EOS and CM9 and have each displayed varying degrees of bugs currently, especially if you use the dock at all. When Revolver Parts comes available for Revolver 4, you'll get a lot more customization and the ability to try custom kernels when they show up for ICS.

I second Revolver 4 1.3.1. I borked it up myself when I upgraded without a full wipe from Revolver 3.11.
If flashy and function featured is your goal go with Revolver 3 for now. It ran super fast for me with the O/C kernel from Pandatest and NO glitches. Revolver 4 ran fine once I installed it properly, but it felt limited in that there are no ICS kernels right now. I also experienced some strange battery drain.
At the moment I am testing CM9 with Cornerstone. Talk about flashy! Some annoying bugs but for me I might be willing to put up with them for this cornerstone app.

Assuming you don't care about Cornerstone, it's either Revolver http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518768 or Codename Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534648
Since you said you like to customize, Codename Android might be a better option for you right now. It has several built-in customization options that other ROMs don't have.
Custom kernels and overclocking isn't possible until Asus releases the kernel source. We don't know when but they probably will release it like they did for Honeycomb.
Thanks for the responses. Ill start with revolver and check out codename android as well.
I should ask, is there some pros and cons listed about cornerstone? It wasnt an option on the a500 so im not too familiar with it other than being for multitasking.
I am getting used to cornerstone. I really like the ability to chat with my wife and browse the web simultaneously. I'm in afghanistan so our internet is really slow. It sux to type a sentence and go back and forth between instances just to make sure Gtalk is still connected.
However, as noted by other comments, CM9 is a bit buggy in its support for the dock and feel. I've had a few random bugs that seem to fix themselves after a reboot never to return. For me, not having the ability to disable the trackpad sucks. I constantly hit it as i type. Almost all of the top row hotkeys are either not functioning or slow to respond.
I really wish revolver 4 was further along now. Revolver 3 really impressed me (spoiled me) to the point I always want that next ROM with more features.
Running revolver at the moment. It's a nice ROM, but these random reboots are annoying. Are any of these other ROMs, such as CM9, as flashy and feature rich? Just thinking of trying something else out to compare.
Thanks!

I'm running the CM9 without cornerstone and can't be happier. Actually, I could once theming and other misc tweaks are put into CM9, but the ROM is solid with amazing battery life. It is really snappy too. I just wish I could get a similar port for my Evo 4G, but I will have to wait until deck's release comes out of beta.
I also strongly recommend CM9, which is now Megatron 1.0

Hi all,
I know there are some similar threads that address this, but I was hoping we could have one specifically for DS users who have been trying out the new ROMs to provide some ongoing input on what they have found to be their favourites and why.
I'm most interested in which ROMs have the least bugs, the greatest stability and the best performace. My current favourite is SenseMOD FlashONE v2.0.2, though it's close between that and PrimoS.
Having been on Endymion for quite a few months, I'm missing the features and all-round brilliance of that ROM, and am hoping lowveld is working on something But for now I am interested in testing the new releases and am enjoying the new UI and features of Sense 3.6/4 lite.
Please share.....
Thanks!!
Yeh primo-s........ or the new port from the russian version there is talk about within the primo-s thread
Right now, Primo S and FlashOne are your best choices. If you want to try something different, use AOKP by Tectas. Pretty awesome.
Off topic - You actually have your nickname after Endymion? Wow, lowveld really has something special there. Really hope he cooks up something for ICS soon....
Thanks a lot,
I searched for that, too :]
im running Tectas unofficial aokp and must admit i have been blown away by how efficient it is. makes the desire s an even better phone than before, think that the ics camera software has improved the shutter speed
Thanks guys, any input is appreciated, especially over the next few days/weeks, as the current ROMs see some improvements and some new ones appear.
I am back on Primo-S for now, might go back to FlashONE after the next update (being uploaded as I type this) but for now Primo seems the best.

Lol, lowveld knows my username, I think he found it a bit ridiculous
Endymion has been the best ROM on here for some time in my opinion, I appreciate the AOKP/CM based builds, but prefer lowvelds releases, and would rather have Endymion instead of Reaper; there's only so much customisation I'm interested in doing myself, and with a ROM like Endy with it's own control centre on top of RC tweaks, that's about enough to keep me satisfied.
Lowveld is quiet on the FTL/Endy threads, I'm hoping that means he's at work on something
- jacmeister/shrome/other tectas aokp fans - what would you say were the advantages over the ROMs based on the virtuous leak, and also over something like Endymion?
I am not too bothered about cam use, as I only occasionally use my phone for pics/video. I'm most interested in speed/stability and an aesthetically pleasing UI Too much customisation options and I end up spending an unhealthy amount of time on my phone tho
Thanks!
Hey guys, why dies everyone use AOKP over CM9? What are the advantages?

The tweaks and customization options available are INSANE on AOKP!!!
It's so much fun to play around with the options, I hardly used any app on it when I field tested it!!

Wow wow, I need to try it out soon! I tried a really early version months ago, and it didn't differ too much from CM9.
I'm waiting for nk111 and his CM9 build with kernel 3.0, then hopefully Tectas can extract the boot.IMG for his AOKP ROM!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I agree...
The Customization Options on AOKP are amazing. But I want a real stable ROM for daily use. So hopefully the Kernel related problems will be eliminated now. I'm just waiting a few more days for a Real Stable Release and new Kernel in a AOKP Version

Let's just say i'm having a psychological meltdown to resist flashing those new V3 Roms , i'm on virtuous saga and i love it, not the snappiest nor the most responsive but i can live with that i guess ^^;
Surprisingly, i fell in love with the russian ported primo-s mentioned in primo-s thread. Nothing fancy. It is the original and pure sense4a. No tweaks, no mods, no rosie. Just exactly like in the One V. And i keep the menu button as recent apps, don't want to fix it. I find it easier than hold down home button as i switch between apps a lot. And did i mention it's very stable and buttery smooth?

My first android phone was the nexus one and have always got the nexus variant when it came out. But always preferred the build quality of HTC. Which is probably why I like Aokp on the DS so much as its like a more modern N1. But this tectas build is rock solid and the customisations are insane. Has been really snappy and nothing seems to be dragging or slowing down the phone functions. I will try this primo s rom soon just to compare

AOKP has more tweaks and options, and any new feature of CM9 will make into AOKP sooner than later, ex: profiles

Appreciating the input on here
What are people's opinions on the new releases and updates? My current favorite is lowveld's Fallout, that's the one I've found to be the most enjoyable experience so far. Saying that, I haven't had the chance to try the latest htc-phones rom, which had a new update today and a further one planned for tonight/tomorrow, with the Full Sense4 experience.
As much as I'm enjoying these new roms, I have not found one that I am able to feel completely satisfied with; I am trying to decide whether to stick to Endymion for now and check back on the new releases (Fallout esp. ) without flashing for a while and wait for the range of mods and tweaks that are to come.
Endy provides me with everything I could ask for, but the Sense4 experience is enjoyable and it's good fun to be riding the wave of these new developments. For me though, it's kind of a trade off between the consistent greatness of Endy or the new and exciting, though rather limited, experience of Sense4.
I imagine those coming from CM9/AOKP to Sense4 must perceive its limitations to be greater than I do - are many people sticking with Sense4 from now on to watch its improvements, or would you prefer, like me, to TRY and wait for the customisations and tweaks that will appear in the coming weeks?
Apologies for the long post....

After trying Fallout, I'm never going back to Endymion! It's just the right combination of light, fast and beautiful. And ICS is the future anyway... so makes sense. Plus, all the magic that had to happen on Endy has already happened. It's got everything working, with nothing to fix. Fallout on the other hand is still to receive its goodies, and i need that flashing experience to satisfy the craving inside of me!!
I had a hd2 and loved it but had to switch to G2X. I have been looking to root and maybe a cool rom. What is lastest and best ones out? Any help would be great cause I can't find it.
Duck for cover
You are about to get a load of disapproval dumped on you but I will answer your question anyway. You should have posted this question in the, wait, you guessed it, the G2X Q&A forum. Now to answer your question, it depends on what your priorities are. I had an HD2 running Typhoon's CM 7.2 based ROM. If retaining nearly 100% of the phone's original functionality and stability while adding a nice collection of CM based goodies, I would recommend HellFire Phoenix 2.3. It is based on CM 7.2 and has nearly all the Driver, Kernal and OS bugs ironed out. On the other hand, if missing out on all the benefits of ICS is too much to live without, I tried HellFire Sandwich, Eagle's Blood, Domination and Genesis but found AOKP to be the best option. Nevertheless, after about four months of being fully committed to riding the ICS train until they worked out all the problems from not having open source drivers or ICS kernel code I decided to go back to HellFire Phoenix for a change of pace. What an eye opener. My passion for pursuing all the benefits of ICS had blinded me to how much in the way of stability, battery life and buggy core functionality I had given up. Needless to say it has been about eight months and I swore I wouldn't go back to an ICS build until the drivers and kernel were released for ICS from LG. The great news is the sister phone called the LG 2X just got it's ICS drivers and kernal source release a week ago and the CM team has already started releasing early nightlies of CM10 for the 2X. Our G2X has essentially the exact same hardware so we are expecting or at least hoping for CM support in the next couple weeks. If you don't run over 100 apps like I do, don't mind having crippled video recording and a few annoying crash inducing bugs and want ICS now, try the latest AOKP build. What I think will make you happier is to run HellFire Phoenix until some reasonably stable CM10 builds for the G2X come out and then jump on those. Eventually, developers will KANG the stable CM10 build and then it is up to you were to go from there. Good luck.
Wow thank you so much!! That was very nice of you. Sent you a pm also...thanks again!

Take your pick but out of the vast number of roms we have the pleasure of using ive liked these the best and depending what you want they are in order of stability. Of course this is all dependant on your Baseband and kernel preference. Have fun
All the info you need to prepare your phone for custom ROM's is available in the sticky thread at the top of the G2X development forum. I strongly urge you not to take the shortcut of flashing Clockwork Mod from ROM Manager. That is a fake flash that is temporary and if you ever run into a boot loop you will have to jump through many hoops and wipe your device to recover. Do a full NV flash of Clockwork Mod. Good luck. For the record, I'm far from an expert. At most I'm an experienced consumer of the wonderful work of the XDA geniuses. They never cease to amaze me.
I forgot to mention Weapon 3.1 ROM in my original post. Unlike all the other ROM's which a were based on a Cyanogen, it is built on top of the stock ROM. I loved it for a long time but it had a problem with spontaneous reboots. Also, it hasn't been updated in over a year. It is a solid ROM and has the extra bonus of including the nice LG camera software but in the end I moved on to Cyanogen based ROMs.

Well for roms if you want something really stable get CM7 pretty much the best one out there, if you want some ICS go for paranoid android that's what I've been using for a while now I haven't had that many problems, but yeah for paranoid android build 12 is the newest one and for CM7 go on the cyanogenmod website for it.

I honestly haven't tried CM 10.1 or any others, but I have tried CM 10 once before in its early days. Right now Im running Paranoid Android 2.53, (based on CM 10) and I love it, overclocked and undervolted and it's really smooth. The only problem is (It may just be me or my phone), is if I have 10 apps backgrounded, it randomly reboots. Other than that, it's an amazing rom. Sorry for not having perfect experience in roms, but i'm just trying to help out.
