Most Stable ROM

Well I recently sold a mytouch 3g to my gf's friend that I rooted in the past (was a friend's phone who I bought from because he needed money) and it currently has CM 5.0.8 installed. She told me today that it has been running really slow lately no matter how many times she reboots and such. I told her I would look into possibly installing a different CFW for her that was more stable. Problem is, there are a ton of options to choose from and I have been out of the G1/MyTouch scene for a while.
Basically, she wants the phone to be stable and pretty quick. She doesn't need a lot of features or stuff that still has bugs to be worked out. I let her know I could unroot it and put 1.6 on there if we couldn't figure something out and she wouldn't be against that. Can anybody recommend a ROM that is very stable and quick besides the stock firmware? Doesn't matter if it's a 1.6, 2.0, etc. version.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Super D 1.11 is a fast/stable as you could go.... CM6 is amazingly fast but it's still in release candidate mode and an android novice might not be able to handle the flaws (if you can find some) in it. CM6 could beat it if it continues in the path in going in...

Yeah, CM was always the way to go for stability when I had my G1 a while back. That's why I threw 5.0.8 on the phone before giving it to her, but she said it's been really slow lately. I don't want to borrow the phone from her or anything to troubleshoot, that's why I'd rather find a known stable ROM and just flash that on there and be good.
I'll download that one and give it a try on her phone, thanks!

I noticed that the SuperD ROM says to have the sd card partitioned, is that a requirement for the ROM or no? Currently the card is not partitioned and if I could avoid doing that, that would be great. I'm going to be doing the flash at work and don't have a way to back up what's on the card already to partition it.

No it's not needed but if you plan on having things like Apps2SD or swap then yes.

Yeah I don't think she needs anything like that. Thanks for the help!

This is a good thread. I just rooted my friends g1 and put CM6 on there. I have been checking to see what the most stable Roms are..
I remember I would eventually start having issues with whatever ROM, so I would go back to a totally stock + rooted 1.6. If my friends doesn't like his CM6 I am going to put stock 1.6 with root access. Add wifi tether and add overclock/ setCPU. For functionality, that is a great way to go if you don't mind the old school look.

If you're going with SuperD (as you should IMHO), I'd use 1.9.3 or 1.7/1.8. The last two had some issues with installing apps - 1.11 in particular would occasionally FC newly installed apps until you ran fix_permissions. Not a deal-breaker, since it seemed stable otherwise but just a pain.

Yeah I installed the 1.11 version today and was not a fan of the launchers included and it started dragging it's feet after about 5 min of messing with it. Does the 1.9.3 have the stock, translucent launcher that you can drag upwards?

giv a try

Netflix app for incredible in market now

Title says it all. This should have happened long ago, but better than never. Now for old episodes of the office
UPDATE for link http://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient

I saw it on Engadget and yelled YES loudly in the hall. Everyone looked at me with an awkward stare.

I hate to say it but they got me to reactivate my membership with this. I could have sworn I read somewhere that netflix was only going to implement mobile netflix on phones with some sort of hardware security that the incredible doesn't have to appease the networks and movie studios.
Whatever, I'm happy now.

I like how its available to the Inc and not the inc2.....yes our phone is the **** still.
Edit:
Hecky hell balls....doesn't work with my CM7

I'm running the CM7 nightly from May 3rd (sorry, no idea what number that would be) and it's working fine for me. Some are reporting that you need to have the latest Flash update for this to work (10.3) and I got that this morning.

Hmmm I have the new flash....
Using nightly 75

Not sure how much of this will be useful but my full setup is: AMOLED, CM7 May 3rd nightly (think it's #65) (version 2.3.4), 4/19 incredikernel, and the 20110307 Gapps.

Yea the only diff is I am up to #75 hmmm

So far this app works perfectly, about damned time.
Still my favorite Android phone on the market (being partial of course, since it's the one I own haha)

I have been waiting for this for a very long time.

Internal. Trying SD now...
Edit:
Works after moving to sdcard...hmmm

Working on my SkyRaider4 with flash 10.2

Also on CM7 Nightly #65, works for me after moving to SD Card too. Odd, but acceptable!!!

For the record mine has been working from internal. I guess I was just lucky today.

Works 100% perfect without a hitch. CM7.0.3 with latest Invisiblek kernel.
Google somehow recognizes my Incredible as a Nexus S... i got an email the other day congratulating me on my purchase of the Nexus S, funny thing is I've never purchased one, it just so happens I guess they think that when I installed CM7 with my google account they though my Incredible was really their Nexus S lmao

[Q] Updating from CM7.1 RC1 to nightly

I've been running CM7.1 RC1 since I got my myTouch a few weeks back, but I've been reading a few people saying that the latest nightlies are much better. Is there a process by which I can update to the latest nightly without having to re-do everything (redownload apps, rearrange homescreens, etc.)? I guess a better way of putting it is if it's possible to restore my settings and apps from RC1.
Also, does anyone have a recommendation for the best nightly? I'm seeing some claiming WiFi problems on recent releases (that #140 and 141 were the last to have good WiFi), and others claiming the opposite. Thanks, guys.

Never mind, I found out about Titanium Backup and it's fantastic. Also took a leap of faith with the latest nightly #172 and everything seems to be working great, if not better.

Latest Cyanogenmod [v7.2] performance

Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1
Could not locate any thread on this. Please post your feedback.

Euroskank have been releasing RC1 kangs since forever. Performance is fine, add-ons are nice. I love the ROM but it's not stable on crespo and crespo4g. Other devices are fine though.

I used one of the latest nightly's for a few days hoping they had fixed the stability problems, pulled my phone out of my pocket and found it bootlooping(dim/garbled boot animation loop, which was new to me as before I would just get the 'buttons lit up no responsive sleep of death' with previous versions).
I doubt 7.2 fixed anything with crespo.
Wish someone could figure out what the problem was as stock doesn't have these problems.
Love all the features and tweaks CM7 has over stock, but pulling the battery on a regular basis is not what I would call a stable release.

instability on a stable RC from CM is discouraging.
did anyone report this to CM team?
You can submit bug reports if you find anything broken in your device while running CM7.2-RC1 be sure to submit a report through here , so that they can fix it in time for the final 7.2 release.

It's a long standing issue with it, as far back as 7.0.3, probably even further.
It's hard to catch a log of the bootloops because they're don't occur in any discernible pattern that I know of.

Though there's many users available for logging. I've pulled a billion logcats of what was happening when it froze/bootlooped. When it freezes you can still adb to it.
Problem is no one seems really concerned over at CM forums, they'd rather add more stuff than root out 6+ months old problems. *shrugs*
Oxygen FTW. Never crashes on me.

100% agreed. Oxygen is the best GB rom. The best CM7 rom is probably cybergrmod. (The gb version)

Been runing the RC for 3 days now, no bootloops or freezing and great battery life so far.

I gotta say if you're going for CM7 based ROM, Euroskank kangs are awesome.

It's The Craziest Thing

Like an intelligent flashaholic, when I first rooted my phone, waaaaaaay back over 2 years ago, the firs thing I did was make a backup of my stock/rooted setup, then saved a copy on my computer. Every few months, I'll nandroid back, update any apps that need to be, then make a new, updated Backup.
Lately, I've been having a lot of problems with my phone, trying to run Jellybean ROMS, which has been a disaster. Even ruinning Kendall's Jellybread ROM, I have some issues with lagginess, occasional Force Closes, etc.
Yesterday morning, my phone was basically not usable, and not having time to play with anything because of work, I just flashed back to my stock/rooted ROM, updated it and have been running pure stock since. The weird thing is, it's the best my phone has run. Smooth, fast, everything working (Of course this is still Froyo, but still). It's just really ugly as hell, but it's amazing how smooth everything is.
OK, time to flash a ROM.....

I think if the stock ROM wasn't so ugly, then we'd have no use for customized ROMs. It's one of those things that allows us geeks to shine...

You know I have never even seen the stock froyo rom. Evo had already upgraded to gingerbread by the time I got mine. Maybe you could let me try out your stock froyo rom? ROFLMFAO!!!!!!! Heck maybe someone out here has a cupcake or donught I could use also. Then we could have a retro rom.

Hey hip, got a suggestion for your next flash.
Do your backup thing, wipe as usual, then flash rom.
Only this time before you reboot, push your log to sd. Then view it after everything is done...
Reason im saying this is mine would be fine then not...when I pulled the log fron recovery it actually showed that I had bad memory blocks an it was unable to repair/format/fix them..
Now my phone was and is usable still...but I cant flash all the roms. Only one that 100% worked was mazwoz.
So its just a thought bro, figured I'd share what I found. And without pulling the log I would have never seen it.

I pull the log most of the time myself and I also have bad blocks in multiple partitions. I have yet to have it cause any issues with any of the roms I flash. Also can I help you take over the world?!! Love me some pinky and the brain.

Lol, sometimes I forget that signature is there cuz I cant see it on Tapatalk. One of the Nocturnal guys made that for me.
Anyway, the roms would mostly flash on my phone. But some just didn't. I was testing rom for soap, tronit, an shaggy an none booted for me but worked fine for others.
Then I flashed say jmz rom an it worked fine. I started to notice that things weren't working.

Are MIUI mtz's universal or device specific?

I they are universal. I have some on my pc that i used on both the og and 3vo that my ex gf had.
FYI I dumped the preinstalled ics theme. So now any theme will install for the die hard miui user and the black ice mtz will be installed on the sdcard. The jb launcher is no longer default you can choose on boot which one you want. Now to get the ICS effect you go into settings themes and choose black ice. If you use the jb launcher you will need to go under launcher settings and reboot launcher. Now everything looks ics even the lockscreen.
