I am currently running the latest Incredikernel and it runs just fine to me. Seems to speed up my system most of the time. But I am considering trying invisiblek#28. Which one is better? Should I stick to my current one? or move to the invisiblek?

Hi!
I honestly tried searching everywhere in the forum, no luck.
The question is: I need to find the most stable build, where stability is much more important compared to the functionality and all the bangs and whistles. I'll install it on someone else's phone and just don't want to have to upgrade/reinstall it every now and then.
If possible, I would like to hear about the most stable Gingerbread build and the most stable build in general.
I would love to hear about some user experience as well. I've been using
NRGZ Desire HD ROM. Beautiful and smooth but if I use it more than a few days
it tends to slow down and freeze on me. Anybody else out there care to share their
Experiences with stability?
the answer is simple: bauner's stock desire rom.
hardware wise desire is our hd2's closest cousin, hence great speed AND stability second to none. I use it with 1gb data.img on fat 32 and with use of multimount I had never any problems with data corruption, freezes, crashes or fc.
dhd roms are better as new sense is more advanced, but desire roms are also great plus speedier and butter smooth all the time.
what about gingerbread roms i have been running them off and on so far i thinks ginger runs better than froyo
i like to know toooooooooo

Been using Typhoon and its been ROCK STABLE to me and this is coming from a person that flashes new roms religiously.
By "stable" I mean something that is used for more than a month as a daily work horse build. I've tested various roms trying to settle on ROM that I use for daily use. My requirements are thus: Decent battery life, no lag, full functionality, of course.
So, rom flashing/testing aside, which ROM do you folks seem to settle on when you aren't testing and want a daily work horse rom? I just can't settle on one for one reason or another. If it's not battery, it's lag or both. Maybe I'm just expecting too much from a phone of this age, at this point. Last rom I used for the longest time was froydvillain before I started messing with the GB roms.
I dunno, what say you?
VR 13 works very well.
Maybe a GB ROM like Cronos would be good?

Vr13 is the 2.1 rom based on the WWE update, ya? Perhaps that one is best since it's based on official HTC release. Pity they never did a 2.2 update.
That's the one. I know, it would've been since.
2.1 repacked by elelinux or Cronos Ginger 2.2.3 this become update frequently by Feeyo
Cronos GB is a good choice indeed.
The Elelinux rom is very stable, I had some force closes with Villain ROM 13, and also with the Modaco one, no force close with Elelinux (base on Android 2.3.4).
If you don't want your phone to be laggy, try adw launcher with that (the faster I've used, even though I prefer Go launcher), don't use too many widget etc, keep it simple.
Cronos is indeed good, although he has recently moved away from CM sources. so that means you wouldn't get the set of Cyanogen specific enhancements. It will be pure AOSP + whatever modifications he made.
So I unlocked/rooted my G2 about 4 months ago and am running Cyanogenmod 7.1 but have noticed that its been running pretty slow since the beginning. The T-Mobile ROM that came with the phone was actually running faster. I kind of miss it now.
It's getting pretty laggy and I'm not sure what the cause is. I moved all my installed apps back to the phone's memory and its still laggy. I DO have about 50 apps installed but that's only using up about half my phones internal storage space. I also even went out and bought a Class 4 microSD card (boost up from my Class 2) to see if that was the problem.
Anyway, my lagginess still persists. So i was thinking about overclocking it using Cyanogenmod's built in menu to do so. I just didn't know what a safe speed to overclock it would be. Battery life isn't a huge concern for me since I have a charger pretty much wherever I go. I just need more speed. I'd rather not switch ROMs since I like Cyanogenmod.
I just want it to run the way its supposed to. Thanks in advance for your help....
CM 7.1 ran very slowly for me. The nightlies ran a good deal better.
You may want to check out G2 Slim 1.6 in the dev forum. It's very very fast.
I run CM7.1 with my CPU overclocked to about 1516 Mhz without any problems for the past several months. I didn't notice my battery life taking any hit, and the phone was blazing fast.
V6 Supercharger cured my lagging. It's really easy to use and it makes my phone feel new again.

If you like AOSP, try out Virtuous G-Lite and use OC/UV Beater 1.7 to change the built in daemon to overclock. When I was running that, I would set it for 1.2GHz screen on. I tried 1.5GHz but it didn't make a huge difference. That rom is super lightweight anyways and is based on the T-Mobile Stock rom.
Right now, I'm on Affinity at 1.2GHz. Alittle lag because of Sense but still great =)
Good luck!
If you want to be truly safe then 1GHz. But most phones will do 1.2-1.4GHz no problem.
I currently have CM7 (an old version, probably 7.0 or 7.1; I set it up last year some time) running on my Nook Color. It is working pretty well. At times it seems a bit laggy, even with it slightly overclocked. But videos and other apps seem to play okay on it.
I have seen a lot lately about how I should be running CM7.2 on the NC (partly because it has overclocking built in), or that I should be upgrading to CM10, even though it is not completely stable yet; but it is pretty close.
What would be the benefits from either upgrading to CM7.2, or even to CM10? Is moving to CM10 mainly to get a different user interface? Does it have more features, or does it make the NC more responsive?
And does either one solve the issue of getting the error message: "This app is not compatible with this device" when trying to download an app and install it on the NC?
Thank you for your advice on the best way to be running Android on my Nook Color. Any suggestions as to the best place to find instructions to install either of these (7.2 or 10) on the NC would also be appreciated, as well as how to install the V6 Supercharger, if I need that too.

I installed CM10 on my Nook and really like it. The UI of Jelly Bean is far superior to Gingerbread, especially with a good launcher. I have it overclocked to 1100MHz on the CM kernel. I haven't tried any other kernels for a higher OC. As far as responsiveness, it's good enough so far. It's still an old single core Cortex A8 based SoC at the heart of the Nook, so it'll never be blistering. I have had no issues with the Play store so far, and have installed a bunch of my apps from there. I think just install the right Gapps version and you should be good.
Stable everyday use, quick and responsive then go with 7.2.
Hey Guys,
i just want to have a little discussion about the overall performance on ROMs.
I hate stuttering ROMs. But what is the reason for that?
New phone + Custom ROM = Great performance.
Old phone + OEM ROM = Not good.
Old phone + Custom ROM = poor performance.
Why?
I had so much 7.x ROMs which all had these little micro stutters in Instagram and any other app.
BUT! AOSP Extended was much better! It had 20% the stutter of the other ROMs.
Now i am using the 8.1 Pixel Experience ROM. It has so much micro laggs. Maybe even more than the other 7.X ROMs.
That's the pure Android experience. And the Pixel phone doesn't stutter.
What's the reason for that?
Different DMs configure the device in different ways. It really comes down to how effective the kernel is configured. It doesn't help that half of use one kernel as a base and the rest use another.

So every rom can be smooth as hell with a good kernel?
That's interesting.

Ramdisk. How the kernel is configured primarily.
Yeah the OP2 is pretty ****ing laggy. Only ROM that salvaged is Vertex 3.6. It has a good kernel, no lags in Twitter, IG etc...
