no reboots?? on what rom version?
stock.
there is no "best" rom ever. opinion varies. don't be lazy. Download and try them yourself.
Currently running this with stock kernel, remember to remove CRT animation, they cause reboots sometimes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327641
Not a single reboot, been running it for a week.
I have to say, what works for me is InsertCoin 3.4.2 (based on ruu 2.08, GB 2.3.5, Sense 3.5, Stock HTC Kernel). Simply amazing! Unparalleled performance, unshakabley stable, great add-ons, and power consumption is super. I have tried MOST Roms and this one, in my opinion, is in its own league!
But, u should try out a few to see what works for you.
Cheers
There is no "best" ROM.
In the end it's all down to experience and personal preference.
Try a few out and use what you like the best.
Personally i like ARHD because of the frequent updates and good support when you have a problem. Plus it's stable and fits all my needs.
My favorites to date have been InsertCoin 3.4.6 and 2.5.5-2, ARHD 3.6.7 and Virtuous Sensation 2.2.0. All stable, with great performance.
But seriously, you're doing yourself a disservice by not just messing around flashing a couple of roms and kernels yourself.
I'm happy with my ARHD 3.6.X.X... smooth on daily use....
I would recommend Insert Coins 2.5.5-2, really stable, absolutely nothing wrong with it. Give it a try, I'm still using it.
CM7 has been rock solid for me with the Faux kernel. No random reboots ever.
I like Roms with a lot of Sense stuff removed. I currently run Hyper NonSense 2.0 which is a ICS 4.0.3 Rom and I love it. Some will not care for the camera or for the fact that it has been removed of sense but I like it that way. Like many have said just make a nandroid of what you currently have and just start flashing new roms and see what meets YOUR needs.
I am looking for a stable rom as well. The problem with flashing and trying many roms is that for me the process takes way to long to get back operational.
My main goal is to eliminate the screenshot issue with the sensation.
With insert coin 4.06 the issue has gone away but I am experiencing more closes and app problems than ics is worth.
I would appreciate any tips to flashing more efficiently and a stable rom without the screenshot issue.

after going through every rom, 95% have had the odd reboot, every rom is great, and respect to the hard working devs, but two I have used, have had great battery, and no reboots, 1.... Android Revolution HD and 2... Supersensation by the god LeeDroid
Insetcoin ,ARHD,MIUI ,all great for me but there more I haven't tried more than 4 from different devs so far I am using ARHD .6.0.2 Now which is ICS based and is great performer (battery life speed) I had 2 random reboots when I first installed the ROM but after that everything was smooooooth!!!
As for the reboots on cooked ROMs in general is hard to avoid since the devs tweak stuff all the time to make ROMs better and that might cause some conflicts from time to time plus they add other things from deifferent versions of ROMs out there,the main idea is to pick a ROM with very good support and updates
Funny thing though I wa getting occasional reboots on my HTC desire before root
Worth doing some research and experimentation your self .

I'll start with my current personal favorite - energy rom has been working great for me, lasts at least 15-20 hours with moderate use and no issues at all. I've come to the conclusion that the original TmoUS radio works best for me, so rom's the recommend another radio I tend to stay away from, and I haven't bothered with ICS yet as it seems way to buggy currently.
For the above post, how are you currently flashing and restoring things? I generally download current ROM's into a folder on my home computer and keep them organized so I can go back to older versions easily if I want. For me, flashing and setting up a new rom is only about a 30 min. process at the longest. I generally do the following:
1. I try to make sure my phone has a full charge first, but not needed.
2. I transfer rom onto sd card
3. unplug phone
4. make sure Titanium Backup is current - if not I back up all apps that have been changed first
5. boot into recovery - full wipe/reset/etc - flash rom
6. reboot, let rom start and settle
7. sign into my google account and set up wifi
8. use titanium to fully restore my apps
9. enjoy my new rom
ARHD 3.6.12 works wonders for me. No reboots and it is snappy, bug free, and everything works.
For me, ARHD worked like a charm as well. Battery life almost doubled compared to stock ROM, and the phone is much faster, sense is much smoother.
I'm currently using insertcoin 3.4.6 and SebastianFM's edited stock kernel. It runs completely without fault, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING still works, and works at speed. I'm toying with the idea of going over to ics, but don't know if it's stable yet or not. Bottom line is I don't have the time to frequently flash ROMs and reinstall everything every time I find issue with a ROM and want to change again, and at the end of the day it's my phone, I need everything to work.
Currently using InsertCoin 4.2.1.. extremily smooth
Dear friends,
I have Nexus S on t-mobile ICS 4.0.4, i would like to know which one is the best of best room for my phone.
I want a rom that i can count on and theme.
i have found two of theme here on site..
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483033
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344
Which one can i use for my t-mobile i9020t
Well, everyone will like a different ROM. This is mostly a personal question and you will have to test a few before you decide which one you like more.
Bedalus benchmarks might tip the scale:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481856
Now, if you ask me, I really like MIUIXperience since it offers nice theming over MIUI (loving Xperia launcher and other stuff). Haven't had any problems with it (except for some known bugs that the DEV is working on).
koush isnt making roms, not for the nexus s at least. you probably meant cm9, which is not koushes work. plus there are many more roms out in the dev section, some are more popular than the roms that you listed.
Where is Bugless Beast on poll!?
Like stated previously, it is all completely up to you. Just try them all until you find the one you like
I'll tell you about my experiences though with CyberGR v10 (previous ROM) and Bugless Beast (current ROM):
CyberGR was great but there were too may mods I didn't personally need. Also, different applications would lag at times like email, facebook, or even the T9 dialer (sometimes it would up to 5 seconds to pull up my dialer and contacts which was ultra annoying). I tried many different kernels and overclocking options but it still lagged or even rebooted. Thus I decided to change.
I switched to Bugless Beast and I am very happy with it as my daily driver. It is very simple mod and close to stock ICS and I just applied my own additional modifications to suit my needs like the kernel change to support BLN, BLD, and voodoo. This ROM is very snappy, has a great battery life, and everything works as far as I know even with my modifications.
May I ask, how do you edit the image files of a custom rom to remove few applications and change the language files

Hi i was wondering what the most stable gingerbread rom is right now for the G2x? I was using eagleblood's ics rom but I want to be able to use camera, browser and internal storage for music (I dont have an external sd card right now). but yeah tahts my question. I heard the one from lg/tmobile isnt the best
Stock or custom? Cm7 I feel is the best, but some might disagree.

My wife has EaglesBlood GB on her phone, and she says it's really stable for her. On occasion, it freezes up on AC power, but other than that, it works really well.
And, like mt3g said, CM7 also works really well. Although others complain that it's buggy for them, but that's just the nature of these phones: what works for one phone, doesn't work well for another. Trial and error is your strange bedfellow.

EaglesBlood ICS has only restarted once over my 4 day usage and that was cause i was doing some stupid stuff with the settings. I just want something that doesnt drain my battery as much as stock and fixed glitches and everything... the notification sliding in ICS i heard that some GB roms have it.. which do? I was looking at the android developement section and tehre are like 10 idk what to choose lol

Ya but you have to use the new baseband zip file owain created. Its in the op oh his thread.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
If you want something easy to customize, I recommend Hellfire Phoenix over EaglesBlood because its based on the newest CM7 source, which includes a lot of fixes and more tweaks.
Now if you want a stock look (along with that better stock battery life), I recommend Bionix Reloaded v1.4.1 because its heavily tweaked for better battery life, and gives you all the stock Tmo apps like Wifi Calling, DLNA Sharing, etc.
The kernel is important too, and I always used Faux's kernel without any problems. In fact, using Faux helped solve some, as people running other kernels weren't able to play games such as Draw Something.

I like CM7, but have been running Hell Fire Phoenix for a LONG time, and love it.
Specific reqs
My wife is a medical professional and is sometimes "on call". I bought our phones a year ago, and didn't switch from stock 2.2.2, because no ROM/kernel (if I'm using those terms correctly) seem to be able to fix the Black Screen Of Death. So now I wonder the same - which ROM and or kernel is the most stable? She loves the stock LG camera, doesn't use BT nor WiFi calling - she NEEDS STABILITY!!! I know I can search thru the dev forum, but there are many posts, some by zealots. I'm looking for opinions from people who have tried many. It could be that the new LG V21Y will be good for her....
She doesn't need to customize - she just wants a phone that is working every time she pulls it out of her purse.
I vote for LG's stock 2.3.4 with new baseband.
My wife has not rebooted her G2x since updating to the new V21y/2.3.4. It's been at least a month for her w/o ANY complaints. She used to ***** at least daily about needing to pull the battery or reboot. Call quality is much improved, but what really impresses me is the speed and accuracy of the GPS now (not sure how much that matters for your wife). Battery seems to be at least as good as when I run the latest CM Nightly with Morfic's Trinity ELP kernel underclocked.
I too keep a nandroid backup of the new stock rom on my G2x. I find it the most stable of anything I've tried. Recently I've been on Hellfire Phoenix w/ either Morfic's ELP or Faux's 50b6 kernel. I've also been through all the recent Cyanogenmod releases lately.
Benefits of the stock ROM...
-No black screens of death
-Great battery life
-Clear in-call sound
-Quick GPS locks
-Minimal force closes
Compared to CM-based ROM's I mostly miss the brightness controlled by sliding across the status bar, the status bar toggles, the CM themes, and the "render effect" that allows me to pick the hue of the screen. I like to run the red one (least bright) when I just can't stop using the phone at night.
I am beginning to play with the rooted 2.3.4 (Thanks kwes1020) in hopes of regaining some of that custom functionality that I miss from the CM-based builds...
Appreciative lurker, first time poster
This thread looks like the best one to get my questions answered. TIA.
Brand new G2X (got the $30 T-mobile Walmart plan), running 2.3.4 on the March 2012 BB, kernel 2.6.32.9 (if that matters)
Basically I'm looking for something stable, though I am interested in customization.
Features that are important to me:
Battery Life, speed, GPS, WiFi Calling, Bluetooth streaming (but dont care about Bluetooth calling), fast camera
Based on all my reading in these forums, I think I should be looking for a GingerBread ROM that allows some neat customization. CM7 7.2 Stable seems to be the most recommended right now. Is that right?
Also, though I have a couple years experience with Android, this will be the first time I root a phone and install a custom ROM. I was planning to use the video tutorials at theunlockr.com to start the process. Having watched all those, it looks like there are 3 steps:
1. Root: http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2x/
2. Flash Custom Recovery Image: http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-image-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/
3. Load Custom ROM: http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/
However, I saw in another thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761772&page=2 ) that "There is no need to root your stock Rom if you are using NVFlash to flash CWM."
So, is this a newer method or the same thing that unlockr.com is instructing me to do?
I know that's alot, but thanks for any advice...

Well, I rooted my phone for the first time about 3 months ago and I used the unlockr method. As long as you follow step by step instructions everything should go smoothly, I screwed it up and had to reload stock rom, but that just made me understand the process better.
As for which ROM to get, I tried various ones Eaglesblood, Hellfire both ICS and GB and I found that the one I liked the best was Hellfire CM7.2 supertweaked. I couldn't do ICS because I actually want to watch videos on my phone and it was too laggy. However, Hellfire ran smoothly and the battery life is amazing compared to stock. I have had this phone on mostly standby for a whole day and it was still on 60% battery life. There are no problems with wifi and camera is good. I am not sure about bluetooth since i don't use it, but the news is that there will soon be fixes to any bluetooth issues.
An extra piece of advice, if you are going to root your phone and I recommend you get the Auto Memory Manager and FasterGPS app. The former is better than app killer, which are bad for your device and the second will immensely increase GPS lock on time.

Hey all...
My original Infuse had to be sent back to the Warranty dep because of the micro usb issues a lot of people had...it had Zeus v6 which I did love however I had to figure out how to hard brick it because I couldn't go back to stock....
So here I am with my new (Most likely refurbished) Infuse and it actually came pre-loaded with Gingerbread (Holy crap right?) and it seems to run well...in fact better than Zeus did....my battery life is better although it still sucks....it hasn't crashed yet so so far no known issues....
However, I miss the extra features Rooting/Flashing can do whether they're just for fun or not....but I'm worried I'm going to have the same USB issue right and never get back to stock again if something dire goes wrong....I almost felt like flashing caused the problem because it happened the same week....
So here's my question...
A lot of these new ICS/JB Roms are obviously ports of one another which is cool but everywhere I look they all seem to have the same issues with BT not working...wifi issues...signal issues and videocamera issues....I realize people have fixes with these with different kernels etc....but is there a more stable ROM than others? I used to have CM7 before Zeus and it was really slick and stable however I hated that it was missing some TouchWiz features that love and Zeus kept them....But when it comes to ICS I do like that "Vanilla" look because it doesn't really seem stock Samsung phones have it because of Touchwiz...
So what's the most stable ROM most of you know works best...
What's the flashiest ROM (all the bells and whistles)
And do any of them incorporate some TouchWiz features like swiping right or left on contacts for calling or messaging..(I don't know why I just love that feature)
So far from the looks like the updated Unofficial CM10 is the way to go....anyone want to steer me clear from this?
The only issue at the moment with ics/jb is 720p recording. Everything else is running completely fine.
Most of the jb roms are really smooth and stable. Try a few of them out and stick with the one you prefer.

Great post from andros here. No one can really make up your mind on what ROM to go with as some may have features you don't want, like, or need and/or is missing features you want/need. The most anybody can really do is throw a few recommendations out there (which i will do) but the rest is up to you.
Some ROMs i would personally recommend would first of all be andros's LiquidSmooth (click picture in my sig).
Some others from the JellyBean line-up would be RemICS-JB, SlimBean, and the unofficial CM10.
The only ICS ROM i have used is RemICS (not the same as RemICS-JB) so can't give any recommendations there (same goes for GB ROMs).
Those are the ROMs i have personally tried and are in my opinion the best 4.x ROMs for the infuse. But like i said earlier, it's your decision which one to go with. Research each ROM's features list, bug list, and update intervals to see which one is best for you.
-DD
You listed bt first so I assuming that is important. I'm using liquid smooth and it works flawlessly with bt. And battery life is great
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
I checked out that video of Liquid Smooth and it looks very promising.....on the video he said that everything on the camera works....is the 720p issue have to do with crappy resolution or the video and audio not matching up? Because the video/audio is what I had issues with on CM7....
The guy on the video is using an sg3. The video is mostly for people to see how it looks, its features and functionality.
Our only issue with our Infuse is choppy 720p recording.
Sent from my LiquidSmooth Infuse
If you are going to upgrade past GB I recommend skipping ICS. To my knowledge development on ICS has stopped for the infuse. I could be wrong but last I checked most of the ICS ROMs are still less functional than the jellybean ROMs.
I've tried most of the jb ROMs and from my own experiences, Slim, liquid, and Paranoid are the best. I haven't tried remics or miui though.
Flash one of them and you should be happy. And actually I have the 4.2 camera and took a video at a wedding (in low light) and it was the best video I've taken since stock.
Again it's all personal preference. But stability wise I think jb is pretty awesome.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
If going past GB follow instructions on OP of whichever ROM you want. Another good guide to not get a brick is Andros11's guide.

I've been using CM10 for a while and I'm mostly very satisfied with it. That said, I'm going to need some reliability since I'm going on a trip and can't risk losing GPS or the phone crashing and stuff like that, so I'm going to flash a stock rom for the duration of the trip.
I don't care TOO much about features since I won't be using my phone for 'play' during this time.
I care about battery life, GPS working reliably, and bluetooth audio working. I use a custom launcher, so I don't care about what the stock launchers come with it, and I have a bunch of music apps, so I don't care about the music app that comes default with the ROM.
I've got my eye on either Synergy, CleanROM or MOD - but I'm open to other ideas. What do you guys think?
