Best stable Rom

Hi
I've just ordered a Vega from eBay (cost me just £120 ) and the seller offered to install a rom of my choice for me as he currently had it running ICS beta. Got him to install Vegacomb 3.2 build 9n as its the latest and the 1st one on the forum but just wondering what you guys think is the most stable Rom. I'm basically gonna be using it for games and watching movies from a USB stick.
Thanks in advance

I have tried various versions of: Stock, CM7, Corvus5, Vegacomb, HoneyICE, ICS Alpha2 on mine, but the most stable ROM to date IMO has been:
ViewComb 3.2
(Currently using build 6.3)
Stock is too old
CM7 & Corvus5 too slow / old
VegaComb and HoneyICE
-------------------------
Tried builds:
VegaComb 9n -> 9n upd3
HoneyICE 3.26 & 3.27
I have had many FC's, especially in browsers.
Also a lot of issues with getting bluetooth and Wifi operating together properly.
Also I have found install can be a pain due to having to nvflash then recovery install, then updates etc.
Sometimes it all installs fine in one round, other times I have spent hours re-flashing & installing only to find I get boot loops each time.
(Others have not had these issues but forum posts suggest its hit and miss)
ViewComb
----------
Simple to install - via nvflash.
Stable
Fast
ICS Alpha2
---------
Very nice, fast ROM, will definately move to this when it comes out of Alpha

So would you recommend Viewcomb as like I said all I want is for it to be fast stable and be able to watch movies and listen to music of a USB

I think thats where they are heading, yes. Viewcomb. Not tried it myself as only got mine last Sunday but might flash that tonight.

[Q] What to do with PB liberty tab to have ICS

Hi guys,
I've a rooted Liberty Tab with Acer A500 HC 3.2.1 and a full nandroid backup to go back to PB stock ROM.
I would like to update to ICS, but I know that ICS requires a new bootloader, and as far as I understand, it's not possible to revert back to HC bootloader.
Is this right?
The first choice I have is to update my tablet with a modded A500 ICS rom, and I will loose (forever) my PB HC bootloader.
Otherwise I can go back to stock PB rom, accept PB 3.2.1 update and wait for PB ICS OTA (does it exists?)
Any other suggestion?
Is it stable to use ICS with HC bootloader? I didn't understand if it's ok or it's only a workaround but not stable.
Many thanks!

Hi,
you can use, as an example, the Flexreaper Rom with the HC Bootloader without any probs. The Rom has an autodetection for the bootloader and installs the right Kernel accordingly.
I did this from the beginning of the Flexreaper Rom until last R12.5.
Last week I decided to change the Bootloader to the ICS V3 patched. The same way I installed the V3 pathed ICS Bootloader, could be used also to flashe the HC bootloader back. But as mentioned, not really needed.
The Flexreaper Rom is excellent, give it a try.

[Q] Memory Leak Issue

After running a rooted stock ICS on my A500 for a while, I upgraded to JB using pjsports "ROM | WIP | CM10 JellyBean 4.1.2 Unofficial for acer a500 [Build 3]"
In the process, I used the AfterOTA tool to install the ICS V8 unlocked bootloader, as well as an updated kernel I believe.
Aside from a few glitches, the ROM worked okay, but I think I had the memory leak problem everyone talks about... My icons & widgets on the homescreen would disappear, forcing me to reboot. I ultimately flashed back to an ICS rom, but maintained the kernel and bootloader. To my surprise, the problem with the homescreen icons remained, forcing me to reboot at least once a day.
I ended up reflashing the stock ICS unrooted rom with stock kernel and bootloader, then went through the rooting process again.
The tablet has been running smoothly ever since with no memory leak issue.
So I'm wondering... Is the memory leak and homescreen icon problem really a problem with the Jelly Bean ROMs or is there possibly a problem with the bootloader or kernel?

[Q] TWRP 2.3.3 Possible Rom Choices

Hi to all
After Testing many methods for installing Bootloaders and Different roms, I finally Got TWRP 2.3.3 + Honeycomb 3.2.1 (provided by root-3.2.1-V4 Working together fine.
Very strangely, When I try to flash Any AROMA-INSTALLER enabled ICS or Jellybean rom, Aroma installer Freezes in TWRP 2.3.3 and Other Civato-based roms flash but Nothing loads.
TWRP 2.3.3 is installed based on Skriylax_CS Bootloader V8.
.. ALL Honeycomb Roms install and work just fine.
Who knows what could be the problem? .
Thanks

Is your recovery.

Hello only certain recoveries work with ICS. download Acer Recovery Installer from the store and choose one of the recoveries from the list they provide.

OS replacement vs 'de-bloated' stock ROM?

Scanning the forum today, I came across this:
[ROM] Z.A.D.Mix7 -Stock Base Rom-
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It looks like it would solve all the issues I'm having with my A7:
Enable multi-user mode
Enable on-screen buttons
Replace ZTE's built-in apps.
Is this a safer route to go in general than installing Cyanogenmod (when it's ready)? I've got CM on my Nexus 4, and yes, there's nice stuff there that's probably not here, but is a de-bloated stock ROM more likely to be bug-free? More likely for the camera and sound system to work fully? Also, will a debloated ROM allow for OTA updates - or allow for them to be sideloaded? I guess I'm asking, if I were to install this, what would be the procedure to get Nougat once ZTE comes out with it? Wipe and re-flash? Or wait for a de-bloated ZTE nougat ROM and flash that?

In order to flash a ROM on your axon 7 you need to unlock your bootloader which causes your warranty to be void and you can no longer receive OTA updates. Also if you are running a custom ROM you will have to wipe your phone before flashing an OTA update. However if you are running the stock rom you will probably only need to flash the update. I've tried both CyanogenMod and Z.A.DMix7 and honestly Z.A.DMix7 is definitely the way to go. In my experience using Z.A.DMix7 it seemed to be as stable as the stock rim and didn't have any major bugs. The only problem I had with it is that since it it rooted there is no way to log into Snapchat. How ever if you don't want root I think there may be an way to remove root from the ROM however I haven't tried it so I'm not sure if it'll work.

I use the debloated rom with android n-ify, xStana, and gravitybox and it is much better than the stock rom. I haven't tried the cm rom. You would have to flash the stock rom and recovery to get OTA updates.
