[Q] Is it wise to wait for stable cyanogen mod

Hi,
I've searched but I didn't find this.
I've read that some phones never get a full "stable" release of cyanogen. I am currently running masters voodoo rooted rom but I quite fancy CM. Does it look like there will be a stable version, and does anyone have any idea how far in the future that might be.
Or is the current RC solid as a rock right now, or does it have bugs.
Thanks

Nexus S is a CM officially supported phone, it will certainly get CM7 final. I've been running CM7 RC1 since the day after I got my phone a bit more than a week ago, so far it works quite well and stable.

Thanks for your reply. I'll hang on then. I'd prefer to get the stable version. Any idea how long they think it will take. I've been on cm forum googling, but not getting anywhere.

Rule 1 of CM: Don't ask for ETAs.
Build #11 and above of nightlies are based on Android 2.3.3.
#12 probably seems the most stable. I'm using #13 and its fine for me although people have reported problems.
If you want pure stableness, it'd be RC1 but it is on 2.3.2

RC1 is just a nightly that was the line where they thought it was stable enough to promote. I don't think it's any more or less stable than any other nightly.

Nightly #13 is just as stable as rc1 at least for me anyways

i know that its a nightly but its also the one that brought new features that the previous nightlies didnt have such as the new lock screen.
RC2 coming tonight.

I had a lot of problems with CM7, but I was running Honity, as well. My experience was one of instability. I switched over to Axura and like it a lot.

I tried Axura last night and didn't like it at all. Also tried cm7 nightly 14 and I wasn't keen on it either. So far I haven't seen anything I like better than masters deodexed 2.3.3, so I'm back on that.

Just out of curiousity, what didn't you like about Axura?
On a more related note, as a flashaholic I've flashed every ROM available for the Nexus S and CM7 is the one I use as my Daily Driver. I'm on RC2 and can't remember the last time I had a random reboot. The other ROMs I have NANDroids of to be able to go between are Stock 2.3.3, Axura, and MIUI (I'm waiting for it to become a little more fleshed out before I really give it a go as a daily driver).

I thought Axura was nice and quick. The thing that made me remove it was the font believe it or not. It looks good in the menus but it was bad for reading emails and other small text.

Did you try flashing a different font or using font changer for root on the market? If that was really your only complaint you can very easily change such things.

I didn't know about either of the options you mentioned and I might just try them. I have no idea where you get fonts to flash, or what format they need to be in, and do you flash them the same way you flash everything else??

Been using RC2 with no issues ... love it.

Sonny has a few on his theme thread over in that section and yes its just like flashing s theme or a kernel except you do it last. Just give font changer a shot it's free

[ROM] Which ICS stable ROM you recommend

Hi,
I see that its a while since that question has been posted ..So i'm asking it again.
I'd like to know which rom running ICS you guys like the most as i just got my Rogers SII LTE.
Also which modem you run (Rogers users).
Thanx for your posts and feedbacKs.

Reported better to revive an older thread than to make a new one cluttering this forum even more

i was running skyICS since the day i got my phone, both GB and ICS, and it was phenomenal. But i decided to give CM nightlies a try about a month ago, and havent looked back. They are damn stable too, i have not had a single issue that wasnt resolved within the next nightly.

Haven't tried the venom kernel but I've got Instigators kernel loaded over cm9 on wife's Skyrocket and she loves it. She's very picky about things working right, so her silence is a very good indicator that its a good rom/kernel combo

CM9 Skyrocket

I've been rockin seans sky ics roms since the very first ics leak, and his dragon base ( completely stripped down version with flashable zips for almost everything he took out) on the official AT&T build is second to none in my opinion. He updates very frequently so he keeps my savage need for flashing fulfilled
-typed erratically from my hacked and customized GS2 SR

Embryo 4.1
Embryo 4.1 has been my favorite, least buggy rom.. but I'd recommend running it with the stock kernel and not Cymbaline. I've seen a couple of users have issues with battery life using Cymbaline kernel, including myself.

CM9 RC2 with stock kernel, running perfectly on both a i727r and i9000m

I also run Embryo 4.1 and absolutely love it. The developer did a nice job with this ROM, nothing half baked and does update it. No bugs, very fast, battery is good and lots of features.

Is there anybody using Paranoid?
..So far i find it pretty good.
Any feedback?

I try and stay away from the aokp tons because I always have data problems. So I'm using cm9 rc2 nice and smooth

CM9 non-kexec

Does anyone know if there is a non-kexec cm9 port available? Or can i flash the the old version with a new kernal? I have been searching, but it seems that all the focus is on JB. I want to run a stable vanilla build while the kinks get worked out in cm10. Thanks much.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I am actually curious here. What does CM9/ICS have that the CM10/JB builds don't? I obviously jumped right to JB because I could but is CM9 worth the step back?
Anyway, I think there is a way to remove kexec. I don't have time to search for it right now, but I will try to remember to pop back to this thread tonight and see if anyone else hasn't helped you yet.

CM9 doesn't have any features that CM10 doesn't. I am just looking for a stable daily driver. I tried CM10, and there are a few bugs that are deal breakers for me. I understand CM9 has a stable release, I just can't find anyone that has ported it to the vzw gs3. Thanks for your help, if you come across anything I'd be grateful. I'll keep searching and post if I find any worthy info.

You know, ive been thinking the same thing. Ever since I got my original droid, ive been hooked on CM. Amazingly fast and vanilla. Now that I got rid of my iPhone and got the GS3 for Verizon, I want that goodness back without the nightly status. Jellybean isnt a big deal to me. Im not commiting to CM10 nigthlys till its at least in RC status. But i do however want CM9 stable for the GS3

I'm on offical JB AOKP test build 6. Loving it. Been rocking it for about 5 days without any issues.
I am very particular about bugs too because i use my phone for work so much and can't deal with issues.
You might give it a go.

[Q] Most Complete Least Buggy JB ROM?

I've been playing around flashing new ROM's and they all seem to have issues. Does anyone know which JB ROM has the least amount of issues?

That's subjective. If there was one be all and end all least buggy and "best" ROM I imagine we all would be running it.
What I consider an issue may not be that big of a thing at all for you. Some phones play with each ROM a little differently as well and some bugs may affect yours that don't affect mine.
So you are already doing the best thing flashing and seeing what works best for you and with your phone. The OP of each ROM should tell you major issues affecting each: video not working, torch a little wonky, etc. So that will help you whittle it down a little. Other than that welcome to fun of flashing.

Well it doesn't hurt to ask the opinions of others so long as we all realize that they're opinions and not concrete absolute truths. Right now I'm running the LiquidSmooth R8 ROM and anything that uses voice input crashes. This means JP Google Search is borked! Now is this just my issue? Would a re-flash fix it or is it a known issue? Inquiring minds wanna know....

Ive been running CM10 mainly its super smooth and has good battery life. Remics JB rom is really good also

I've never really used voice input, so Im not going to be the greatest help there. Reflashes do clear up some issues, wouldn't hurt. Maybe even a fresh download of the ROM. If you havent already try inquiring in that particular ROMs thread, to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Good luck
Edit:
If its google search it may be your gapps, make sure you have the most current.

No I haven't , I once tried CM10 from scott. really an amazing rom but i was having lots of problems, while flashing the gaps,
I was doing may be wrong but i was flashing the right things i know, but well somehow i was not able to flash the rom properly, so I flashed this one , its only been a week, i am on this one.
But yes i will definitely give it a shot.
Is this one a complete daily driver ?
Little bugs doesn't matter(it depends) at all, stock had millions of them.!!

Thanks for sharing

The thing you have to remember about these JB roms on our Infuse is that we are still using a modded GB kernel. Samsung as far as I know (I could be wrong) hasn't released the kernel source code for our device and it's making it very hard for them to update the kernel. I use Scott's CM10 4.2.1 right now and it's basically been bug free. It doesn't even have all the CM source code merged into it yet. I've never had a rom with so much free memory before! I think it's amazing what he is doing with our old device and he deserves MAJOR props and donations for all his efforts!

Yeah its slim bean that I have personally built from source. I really have zero bugs and use it as my daily driver. I mean it has the same bugs as any jb ROM because we all compile from Scotts cm10 build. Its the exact same as CM 10 except with a TON of custom features! I'm currently working on a 4.2.1 version that looks to hopefully be my smoothest yet. Check it out and lemme know what you think :thumbup:

my wife and i switched from verizon to tmobile a few months ago. she knew i was flash happy and after number comments about rooting her phone , i did so one night after work.. so right now she is on a stock rom, i'd like to get her onto something non-stock, but i need it to be stable & jb based, functional camera... i'm running a 4.1.2 jb on my s2 and just want them to be somewhat similar in the event she has a problem im not clueless to it..

This. CM10 is about as stable as you are gonna get atm. Funny thing is most ROMs atm are CM based so tbh you should be fine with any of them.

If you want to avoid dealing with minor problems. I would say cm10 is your best bet for your wife.
