Closest thing to stock rom?

Hello a friend of mine has the my touch 4g and I wanted to know which rom was the closest to stock (sense included) but had the few nice features like OC/UV and stuff like that. If there isn't one like that which one is the most buttery smooth?
I have a captivate and the cognition rom is the same idea of what im looking for if anyone knows what im talking about.
Thanks in advance

Most Stable rom right now
the most Stable Rom for MYtouch 4G is the Ice Glacier

Isn't Orange Glacier supposed to be even closer to stock? I would assume the closest to stock would be the most stable...not saying Ice is buggy, but wondering if I understand this correctly...

Definitely the closest thing to stock would be the stock ROM. You won't believe it's not stock!

Rooted stock rom + custom kernel that's made for stock rom= closet to stock rom w/ uv+oc.
[via XDA app]

I'd say Royalglacier just because it's always being worked to perfection

How would you compair stock with a custom kernel to a whole custom rom?
On the captivate the stock rom has a lot of issues. The customs are wwaaaayyy better.

Stock is pretty good on the Myt4g, but the customs are better. Roms such as cm7, royal glacier, as well as many others are constantly being updated. Just find one that suites you best. A customer kernel isn't going to change your experience to incredibly much. Maybe add a little stability, possibly better performance, and you can oc.

the driver updates on faux's kernels are pretty important. You'll notice the touchpanel update immediately. It's the easiest thing to spot when first switching. Lighter touch registers, clean and smooth. I think he called it finger porn.

Which is the most stable rom?

So which rom would be the best day to day rom?

CM7 is the best right now I believe, it has everything working.

The nightly or rc2
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Agreed!
I've used quite a few of the different ROM's on here and Cyanogen's CM7 is the best.
Very stable. I'm really not a fan boy either because I eventually switched over to SuperD's ROM for the Mytouch 3G.
I'm currently running Royal Glacier and I've been getting some weird force closes and other stuff that I didn't have with CM7.
Try as many as you like. Do a backup and run with one for a few days to see if you like it. You can always switch back.
Edit: They just posted up CM7 RC3

CM7 is the most stable gingerbread rom you'll find.

[Q] Whats better....? CM7 or RoyalGinger 1.6

Over all i want to know comparison please if y'all can help! If you had to choose which one would be better CM7 or RoyalGinger 1.6. I am on CM7 just trying to see if its worth getting RG1.6 help me out here!! Thanks in advance!!!!!

CM7 Nightlies

Thanks I'm really liking it but I heard the RG looks great and saves battery life
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

I switched from cm7 to royal Ginger 1.6. Very fast and responsive. Moving from screen to screen is quick. Apps load up fast. Actually i am having trouble using up my battery everyday before charging it at night. Sometimes it will last two days without needing to be charged. Coupled with faux's latest kernel Cfs lv I have not run into any problems so far. Signals are good and strong.

I moved from CM7 to RG1.6 and can say it runs a bit faster and good on battery.

I have to give that a try sometime. faux keeps releasing a new version every day...i am tempted. I have always been fan of pure google experience (and then customize on my own)

use the new CM7 (7.0.2) its very stable.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

If you want pure aosp that is fast as hell without the extra crap... get faux's rom. Its amazing.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Don't really like questions like this but every rom is different. It is all personal preference. Your phone is different as well it may not like certain roms. You should do try out different roms to see what your phone likes best.

Running faux's AOSP rom! Fabulous!

which one is better...
I think what is being asked here is not which one is better, because that answer would be based on opinion; the info sought here is what are the ups and downs of each ROM so he will know which one would be best for him.

The only way to know based on your own preference is to try them all. It only takes a few minutes to change roms. I suggest you try them all for a few days each ans go from there.
My personal preference is pure Google. I hate extra stuff. Some people need a little flavor so CM is great. Just try them all and make your own choice

GB
I would say that is the best thing to do try them all... I'll be honest with ya out of the GB experience i like what Royal Ginger has done lately and the new Cm7 is really really stable good experience.. But i always and i mean always go back to Royal Glacier (mysense) i know i know.. but it's fast as hell in my eyes.... and i have ALL of my phones functions... anyways, to each his own..

Cm7 is og and royalginger is bg meanning baby gangstar

[Q] Is there *ANY* MT4G rom that doesn't suffer from mysterious data dropouts?

Does it even happen on stock?
I am using royalginger and loving it except for 2-5 minute data dropout every hour or so. Using built-in kernal and S=Off.
I know folks are working on this and will figure it out soon but I wonder if there is a rom I can move to in the meantime that doesn't suffer from this, for me, quite crippling problem.
I appreciate any/all suggestions. Thanks.

Any sense rom shouldn't have that problem. So as long as it sense Rom should be no data drops haven't had one yet. On any sense rom.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Yep. Anything sense doesn't have that issue. Its an AOSP issue. I believe faux is looking into the issue for his next aosp rom.
Until then.. you will be fine with sense roms.

I believe this is not related to aosp, but more so gingerbread roms in general, but I could be mistaken

but the G2x isn't AOSP. I learned that this week, It's a variant of AOSP but has LGs innards in it.

ROM suggestion?

Fellow mytouch 4g users,
I am currently on CM 7.2 and experience the following issues:
1. When connected to both Bluetooth and wifi, I intermittently get dropped from wifi.
2. Mute function does not work with wifi calling.
Can anyone suggest a stable ROM that doesn't experience these issues?
Thanks in advance.

Umm, I'm not sure if I would call it stable, i mean, it is still in beta, I think.
For OP, try CM7.1, it seems like the most stable ROM for this device out there (for now anyways). Or try fixing permissions, that always does wonders when I run into bugs

I can't explain it, but I can't seem to like full cm7. I've used a couple roms with cm7 base that are OK. And trust me, I'm not insulting the work, its more of a visual thing. But actually in regards to the stability of creamed glacier, its pretty straight right now. It really depends on what you use your phone for. Although its fixed now, I never cared about the camera issue, bcause I rarely use my camera. But again, it really depends if you are a heavy, mid, to light user, to determine how many bugs you will notice...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

If those are your main concerns, i suggest a gingerbread rom, NOT an ics rom. Try RoyalGinger (CM with stock overlay) or you can try an number of sense roms. Most of them have no issues regarding bluetooth and wifi calling. Again, stay away from ics roms if those are your main concerns.
--If i have helped, hit thanks--

I'm currently using blackice. Its based off of cm7 I believe.
Check out miui as well!
Let me know if you need the roms.

It has a couple of bugs but the fixes are already available. Its really smooth and it has full stock feel if you are into that kind of thing.
