or

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...)

The man asked for a stable ROM, not lol ones like MIUI which brings a new bug every week and not CM7 nightlies which are rebooting once at 2 hours.
@stevo the most stable ROMs you will find will be inifinity or oxygen, superaosp is good as well but those themes make it look meh...
CM7 reboots...

infin1ty or Oxygen. HTCClay if you want a CM based ROM.

I would not subscribe that.
I have been running MIUI for more than a month and, with the only exception of the Them Manager which had issues in 1.5.27, everything seems to work flawlessly: never experienced a single reboot!

Totally agree as I am in the same boat. I was on superaosp for ages and its stable and a nice rom. Now on miui and ive had no problems at all, and it's an amazing rom. Real change of scenery.

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.

Have you tried the ones I mentioned? Oxygen or infinity? They are stock ROMs with extra features. I am using oxygen since 3 days and I haven't had a single reboot so far, even overclocked at 1.4GHz and using proton's suggested voltages. Adam's oxygen ROM is the definition of stability my friend.

Zuluzulu has been really stable for me, infini1y to.

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.

NS4G: Who has reverted from an ICS ROM back to GB?

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.

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:

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.

Weapon vs Bionix vs Cyanogen 7.1 Compare your experiences with this 3 roms :)

So I'm pretty new to this just started using custom roms yesterday only tried 2 so far.
now these 3 are the ones that have caught my attention. Currently I'm using bionix 1.4.1 seems good so far , I tried CM 7.1 but I had issues accessing my SD card storage it was either the internal data or the SD wouldn't let me access both.
now at first I just wanted something better than stock rom.. something more stable.. but now that I've gotten the hang of it and seen how easy it is to backup/restore/install a new rom is I kinda want something nice
Now I haven't tried the weapon yet because I see it was last updated 10/22/2011 now I don't know if its because developers simply went with another project orits just as stable as it can be.
I'm looking for opinions and advice on what are the best roms out there and what have you found the best working on your g2x and for what period of time.

With Weapon and Bionix, it all comes down to personal preference since they're both based of 2.3.3... But I prefer Bionic... CM is much faster and had wayyyy more features... I'd go with CM 7.2 RC 1.

ok nvm that a quick reboot fixed this.. now I am having the same issue I can't acces my sd card once I set it to use my internal storage any ideas?

Everything works great on Weapon, but it had some issues with JuoceDefender, so im using Hellfire now.
Hellfire is pretty solid build too, not that many bugs, I just recommend flashing Trinity if you're gonna use it though.

Well I'm currently trying CM 7.2 at firt boot there where aa few dumb bugs but after I rebooted everything is working great been using it for about 3 hours non stop downloading apps playing games browing just testing and from 100% im at 78% right now .
Only issue I have is that I have to manually enter the directory of my external SD to access it from the file manager it can be used by all aplications though its odd so its a silly thing I can handle
scoring 2100-2400 on quadrant result varies for some reason every time I run it but for now I'm pleased with the CM 7.2 RC1 I might backup this one and check that hellfire one.

Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 is based of CM 7.2.0 RC1,.... and it rocks...
I always liked stock CM the best, because i was always about features and speed, not to much the looks. but hellfire is aw some!
some people try to call hell a baker, or just a themer.. but its not true..
sure he maby he started out that way. but he is fare beyond that now he is making very stable Rom's that look good! he is not taking eaglesblood Roms and making them prettier anymore, he is making his own Roms based off CM source (Phoenix) or directly from google source AOSP( hellfire sandwich 1.5)
so he is now in a class with the other developers that are making and baking their Rom's off other sources just like the other developers, any one that says otherwise obviously doesn't know the whole story.
any way CM is solid, to begin with,
and hell gave it more flavor!
hellfire rocks!

you could be right... i thought the new 1.5 was based of AOSP, but maybe not, or maybe he cherry picked a couple things in there.
i might be getting it confused with the new build for eglsbld, which is deff AOSP..
but aether way its still a solid rom!!!
im still rocking Phoenix 2.1 until Hf's gets more stable.. but from what i can tell its still pretty stable as it is, but im going to wait for another release or two..

Yeah I play with the ics builds until the bugs annoy me enough to send me back to gingerbread.
Its nice having all these options with all the activity in them. Constantly getting new ROMs to flash.

for sure

Well I'm about to install Hellfire phoenix to see how it is since it's based of cm 7.2 wich I'm liking its stability.
if there are any issues with hellfire that have dumb quickfixes or any advice on it let me know

I'm been reading about faux and stuff about kernels are these installed with the rom? or how does all of this work?
I do have stock backup in case something goes wrong with the phone I can return it to warranty.
But yeah I'm a total noob I'm here to learn currently waiting the 10 minutes for the hellfire phoenix.

So far so good I'm loving this Hellfire phoenix no issues with it yet and quadrant scoring 2700 CM7.2 didn't get past 2200 I like the looks on this a lot more hopefully its as stable as CM 7.2 only time will tell but definitively if it is it's a keeper.
Can someone confirm for me if wifi calling really does save battery?

I think it does personally, also I think the kernel you're on is the faux 123 DS driver which gives you weird battery readings but better battery by 2 hours in most cases...

kernel is 2.6.32.56-cm7-faux123-049
I don't really care what I use as long as it doesn't damage my hardware of affect stability. and if better battery that would be nice
phone has been on battery I started with it 100% for 1 hour 7 minutes and it reads 95% battery I've been using it sort of frequently testing different things like camera, video playback, youtube setting how I want it downloading apps, music stuff like that nothing hard on it. but if it's reading it correctly... geez thats insanely good.
And Quadrant scored 2700... lol I was reading some kernels overclock the cpu I'm guessing this one does that? or its just that good? I have no clue I checked and it said 1017mhz so 1ghz witch is stock but I don't know if this throttles down or something like that.. again I'm not experienced at this.

So-called vanilla ICS ROMs and mobile gaming

Hi,
After about 1 year of worshiping Sense I decided to jump ship and switch to 'vanilla' on my Desire S which was a really good decision. I love the feel and every single tweak you guys make to turn this ROM experience into something great. Thank you for that.
Right now I've been using:
[ROM] | 12 JULY 12 | IceColdSandwich Perfecto-Linaro Edition | ICS | CM9 Kernel
Quadrant score is 1899 (nothing more than 1300-1500 on my previous Sense ROMs), overall performance is fluid and I'm happy with it, but... I also happen to be somewhat more than a casual mobile gamer and that's when the drama begins.
This ROM crashed (auto-rebooted) only once for me (while using Instagram), but freezes happen a lot while gaming. I know it has a lot to do with kernel 3 source not being released etc.
My question is: will switching to:
[ROM][090712]Unofficial AOKP for Desire S [BETA][4.0.4][Milestone 6][Ext. CM9 Kernel
improve gaming experience in any way, or is it just not worth the hassle with changing the ROM?
Maybe some of you used both of these ROMs. If not, many of you are much more experienced in the topic than I am anyway, so I'd be really grateful if you could provide me with some input.
Once again thanks to all the devs for your hard, passionate work, and to all the rest that test it.

This is because Icecold and other ICS and JB ROM's are based on an old kernel with loads of workarounds.
It is known that it causes kernel oops(hang) under heavy graphics(3d) and webpage load.
Low graphics (2d) games like doodle jump work well.
Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!

So, as I understand it, switching between these two ROMs (or, for example, CM9 alpha for DS) won't make any significant improvement, am I right? And what after HTC finally releases kernel 3.x sources (after OTA 4.0 update)? Is there a chance for really stable ICS ROMs in terms of gaming, camera working etc. on the Desire S?

Yes, switching to CM9 will not make a difference.
After kernel sources are released, it definitely will improve.
We already have JellyBean ROM's, guess if you like stock Google experience you should try JB ROM's in the future.
Who wants ICS when JellyBean is here
BTW camera works on all ICS ROM's

You can try reaper. It should be very stable. I never used it.

Reaper is the most stable Rom I've had in my phone, never had an issue with it, I'm quite a heavy gamer myself and have had a few fcs with ics Roms. Reaper is fast and reliable and I still go back to it during the week for work
Swyped from my desire s running blindIce

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I've gone through the Reaper ROM thread and it really looks promising. The thing is I don't know if I'll ever be able to come back to GB roms after my lick on the frosting of a particular 'ice cream sandwich'
For now I'm gonna stick to my actual choice and if it eventually drives me crazy while gaming/trying to play games, I guess I'll try Reaper.
Thanks once again!

never tried heavy games on my ice ds. well, I will soon, and follow up my report here.

I've used ICE_DS, it's as stable as a rock while gaming. Too bad I'm after stock ICS experience.

I had no end of gaming issues with stock sense, inactive controls, freezing etc. Don't think I'll go back to sense regardless how much I liked it. Love vanilla.
Swyped from my desire s running Vanilla ICE v2.0

tried the CS Portable on ICE DS, working flawlessly. Also tried on aokp/cm9 , lot of freeze and fc. ah man. aokp/cm/aosp/vanilla/etc are cool,but hardware incompatible.. gonna wait for kernel 3 source thou.

Can't wait for kernel sources, will at least get some excellently stable Roms, hope lowveld makes a JB reaper
Swyped from my desire s running Vanilla ICE v2.0

Hey, just curious, why you Tim?

As an RC I've been asked to get these threads started. They need to conform to a certain template so I write them up and post them, then I organise for the ownership of the q&a thread to be transferred to the OP of the ROM.

Thanks Timmaaa! I kept looking on this section and didn't see this tjread.
Now I can finally ask - will long-press back be implemented? It's ever so satisfying to kill apps with it.

Thats up to the AOKP team I just compile the rom for them. It should if it was on 4.3 AOKP. All 4.4.2 roms are started from scratch and coding the features to the rom which is why features are now pouring out. Ill let you know as soon as an update releasesthe specific feature.

Its been great! I haven't stayed on a ROM this long in months. For a while I jumped back and forth between various 4.3 and 4.4 AOSP builds and Sense. This ROM fulfills 95% of what Sense does, and satisfies my need for the bleeding edge.
That's not really a fair comparison since Sense is basically stock, and this is scratch built. I'm amazed at how perfect this can be on 4.4, since so many 4.3 ROMs were either very barebones or on the buggy side. No more reboots or SODs! I think my particular Evita is a little flaky and requires extra voltage to be stable. Hey, I bought it refurbished for $50, so my expectations are low.
I'm very happy with AOKP. I have a Nexus 7 2013 as well, and its very nice to have nearly identical UIs between the two devices.
If only some genius dev could crack in-line headset controls on 3.4 kernels. Maybe we can get a bounty going to speed things up

Really glad you like it. As for the headset controls I can ask around but the devs I know of for this are usually busy with their own roms etc.

Thanks! No expectations, and again, nothing urgent. Its cold in Wisconsin, so the less I have to reach in my pocket and take my gloves off the better

Thanks for your post 53l3c7a, I didn't realize that the inline controls didn't work until you mentioned it.
That goes a long way towards explaining a guy standing inside a bus shelter yelling at his expensive headset for not working (this guy)

Hey techinstein..how's it going with making this official? These builds are great..good battery life as well!

Been trying different kitkat roms for a while now, but nothinig suits my needs. Guess sense has been spoiling me. Can't help but to like the calendar and clock widgets.
But I will try this out and see how it performs for what I use this phone for. Thank you for your hard work ans look forward to updates

Hmm thats odd what version? of the rom. Does anyone else have this issue? Also try to see if it happens by switching again. Did you do a clean install of the rom when you first started this rom?

Yes, I've wiped everything but the internal storage. I'm using the latest build and before I had no problems at all switching from dalvik to art. Just recently I've developed problems. Could it be an app, or kernel related? I believe I was using torched latest...
