Please post issues in the GTabCombOver Q&A Thread.
GTabCombOver is an improved version of GTabComb, a Honeycomb 3.0.1 ROM by zyhong. It is a G Tablet ROM, but people have reported that it works with the Hannspad and the ZPad T2 as well. Here are zyhong's original instructions:
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, XDA nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if that occurs. In this case, it is required that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running this mod.
This is a port of AdamComb with pershoot kernel and some tweak for performance and usability. Thanks all the greatest Adam, Vegan, Gtab devs that make this rom possible.
Install instruction:
1. Make sure the version of your bootloader and download the corresponding rom
2. I guess most of you should already be in CWM, but if you are not. update the recovery to CWM first. Stock recovery might work but you need to do some work and CWM is much better anyway.
3. Wipe data / Factory reset. It might work well, but you will most likely have problems without doing this.
4. Using the "install from sdcard" to install and enjoy.
Change Log:
3.4.2:
rajeevvp's memory tweak.
Flashback 8.1's fix for external sd cards and usb disks.
1.1:
Fix for wifi not loading on bootloader 1.1.
3.4.1:
Updated to latest version of Maps application.
1.2:
Resolution fixed (only the 1.2 edition went out with the wrong resolution set)
CPU frequency restored correctly after sleep
3.4:
Fixes from AdamComb 0.3:
Improves bluetooth
Improves gps
Updated the Market (fixes download issues)
Updated all the other apps that have newer versions
1.2:
Clemsyn's honeycombtrial5 kernel, which greatly reduces the Sleep of Death problem

What version of honeycomb is this 3.0.1 or 3.1?
Does it work with ZPad 3G? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, no one has tried it on anything other than a g tablet, but if GTabComb 3.3 worked on the ZPad 3G, GTabCombOver probably will as well. If you would like to give it a try, let me know how it goes for you.
thanks, i tried gtabcombs and flashback before but they would get sluggish on me until i needed to reboot. so far everything is fine for me on this rom. i did lower the dalvic vm heapsize though.
I'd been using Bottle of Smoke and then Flashback for a while. But Flashback kept crashing on me (shutting down randomly).
So far, this is running smoothly. But, then, I've only had it on the device for about 14 hours. Looking forward to seeing how stable it stays.
(I just wish there was a way to get the camera working on Honeycomb ROMs.)
subscribing for sure.
very excited! thanks for doing this!

Flashback crashes on me whenever it tries to access location services (Maps, etc.).
EDIT: As a matter of fact, so does GTabCombOver. I just installed it and it crashes as soon as Google Maps tries to acquire my location.
Yeah, so did the other ROM. Seems something broke when google updated the new maps app.

Is there any plans to bring 3.1 to the gtablet.. or is there some kind of driver issue... because no one as done it.
I've been waiting for someone to continue work on GTabComb. So thank you for your effort.
Here are my experience with GTabCombover 3.4.2 [BL 1.2]. Let me know what I can do to help make it better.
1. Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik cache then install and reboot.
2. Login and setup. It auto restore app previously installed on the account.
3. All the apps ran fine. Random freeze and lag.
4. Tried it with and without ADW Launcher EX. Still lag randomly, even while configuring the launcher.
5. gTablet has a 1GB ext3 partition created with the help of CWM (or NVFlash, can't remember).
6. Gallery works. Camera does not.
Has this rom been overclocked as it was done by default on GTabComb?

I had that happen to me once, but a power off and on fixed it. Could you try that and see if it works for you? If not, could you run GetLogs right after the crash to see if that can provide me with any useful information?

I've toyed a bit with 3.2, but so far all I've managed is painful soft-bricks. To my knowlege, there aren't any driver reasons why it can't be done, though.

It uses the same default overclock as GTabComb. On the other hand, it uses a different CPU governor for the 1.2 version, since the kernel on that version doesn't support the governor that GTabComb used.

Which website would that be though? I think whoever wrote that it has 3.1 probably got confused with 3.0.1 which is what all g tablet honeycomb versions are.
I've been using gtabcombover for about a week and it has been pretty solid. However, it does seem to use quite a bit of memory. Last night it got *very* slow. I started Memory Booster just to see what the memory situation was and it reported that I only had 2% left (98% used). I killed all tasks and got it down to about 88% used which made it responsive again. But, it shouldn't be using that much memory, should it? After a fresh boot it shows 55% used. Again, is that normal for all ROMs? I never had Memory Booster installed before so I have no idea what I had on my previous TnT 4.40 ROM but I never had the slow down that I had last night either.

After my first reboot, Maps found my location right away, but crashed again after 3 seconds. I rebooted 3 times after that, all with the same exact result. As requested, here's my log. Thank you very much for looking into this.

Not sure what they did on this thing. I thought 2.1 was supposed to IMPROVE performance...and add some BT functionality.
I got no BT improvement. Instead, I got:
1. Random reboots
2. Slow/crashing Navigation
3. Useless voice recognition on Navigation
4. Random phone calls placed when fiddling with BT
5. Slow opening notifications
6. WIFI won't turn on
I could go on and on...
Sprint says I can't go back to 1.5, but I'm sure there's a way to do it.
HELP PLEASE! I'm rooted, if that helps.

theres noway. your H-Boot has been updated. thats the end of it. 1.5 just wont work anymore.

Yes it does. Just find a 1.5 ROM for CDMA hero. However, before most of our devs moved on to the EVO almost all of them stop developing 1.5 and moved to 2.1
I would suggest trying out some 2.1 ROMs and see what you like.
If you are rooted you should have put a recovery on your phone that you can get to by pressing home and turning on your phone. The first thing you will want to do is make a nandroid backup in case you don't like things. Then stick a ROM on your sdcard. Select all the wipe options except for battery and rotate and then flash a new ROM.
Id try wiping and reloading a 2.1 rom. I never had any of those problems when I went to 2.1.
I'm running the latest DamageControl and can honestly say I am not having any of those issues. I say you should try using a different ROM.

I didn't root until I got 2.1, so I surmise the 1.5 is gone, right?

RegawMOD was also recommended. Any reason why to pick one or the other?
Thanks for all the help. Sad that unpaid and unsupported independent developers can do this job better than HTC.
In a best case world, I'd be able to get ad hoc networking to work. I followed the directions but didn't have any success. My ultimate goal was to enable my Hero to display photos wirelessly from my computer. Many programs do it the other way around.
Originally I thought BT would be the easiest wireless protocol, but it seems pretty weak for that sort of data transfer. So 802.11 seemed a better solution...but for some reason Android folks decided to cripple the OS from recognizing ad hoc networks. Odd.

You can still flash 1.5 ROMs. You just can't flash the 1.5 RUU.
Great...
Tried Damagecontrol 2.09, did a clean wiped install, and everything seemed fine. Didn't seem much faster, but whatever.
Too bad I waited until I was at work to reboot. Now it's in a bootloop, and I'm stuck at work with no phone.
Sprint sent me a new phone. Once I confirm it's got 1.5, they can have this 2.1-infected POS back.

Look... there's a good chance your new Hero WILL have 2.1 on it. If it does, just root it and install a custom 1.5 rom.

This might mean you simply didn't wipe everything before you flashed the new ROM. Always perform a full wipe before flashing new ROMs.
Take the battery out of your phone. Put it back in and reboot to Recovery (hold Home and press Power). Then select the Wipe option, and go down that list and wipe every single category (I do them each twice just to make sure).
Then go back to the main menu and flash the ROM again. That should probably solve any bootloop problems.
(I don't know if it works exactly this same way with the rooted 2.1 RUU [I'm still on rooted 1.5], so if any of the above is wrong, anybody please correct it...)

Yeah, I was thinking about that. If so, I might as well keep MY phone and install a 1.5 ROM on it. Less work, and they can have their "new" phone back.

Wow, so working with this ROM is like dealing with my kids. I have to tell it everything twice No thanks. Not worth the hassles.
2.1 doesn't do anything better that I can see. I'll deal with wired tethering considering how rarely I use it. The Navigation on 1.5 works better, or at least the voice recognition does.
Why exactly are you still using 1.5??? What custom 1.5 ROM would you guys recommend? Any that have ad hoc networking built in so I don't have to hack it myself?

You don't have to do them all twice, I was just saying that I do to make sure -- personal preference. Considering how those wipe options only take like 1 second each, there is no "hassle" of which you speak. Adds maybe an extra 4 to 5 seconds to your day at most.

I'm not still on a 1.5 ROM, I just haven't yet updated my phone to stock 2.1 using the can't-ever-go-back-again 2.1 RUU. What I meant is that I still have the 1.5 root, but I have been using 2.1 ROMs over top of that for at least a couple months now. I think all these 2.1 ROMs are much faster than 1.5 ever was. Slow speed and lag were my biggest annoyances in stock 1.5.
We probably won't be able to answer all your questions or remove all your doubts. You won't know completely until you try some of them yourself.
If you look in the Wiki there are several 1.5 Roms out there that you can use. However, there are some apps that will only work with 2.1. Once your rooted you can flash any ROM from 1.5 or 2.1. You might also consider an AOSP rom which doesn't have Sense UI. But as I stated in another thread yesterday, most people end up adding apps to try and emulate certain characteristics of Sense UI. I don't like vanilla android, but it is supposed to be faster.
Here are all of the ROMs available. If you want a 1.5 Rom I would suggest Gumbo 1.5c, Modaco 2.2, or Fresh 1.1.
Thanks all. I honestly can't imagine how anyone could find 2.1 faster than 1.5, but I guess maybe once I'll reload 1.5, it may remind me. The "other half" of the people are (like me) saying the CPU can't handle the extra 2.1 features.
I never found 1.5 slow for anything other than phone calls. Now, those are WORSE, and the lag time to do anything else now exists, where it didn't before.
I ran DC all day, and it was just as annoying as the stock ROM. Maybe a little better in places, worse in others.
I guess I'm running "basic" stuff compared to all you guys running heavy apps or something.
Pancake 1.5 running now...refreshingly smoothly Yea, a bit of the glitz is gone, but wow, no lag.
And I have a Navigation program back that has a functional voice recognition. I hesitate to update because I'm not sure how far the revs go under 1.5. I don't want the new version back and I don't know if it's 2.1-only.
All...
Looking for some guidance before I go complete wipe/reinstall.
After months of rock solid performance, I'm getting constant total freezes with CM7. I don't have a whole lot of apps, maybe 30, and don't use Beautiful Widgets (I believe I've seen that mentioned as a possible culprit.) It seemed to be somewhere around when I flashed the newest version of Gapps (0828,) but I can't confirm.
Just to try, I flashed the newest nightly of CM7 and reflashed the older (06xx) version of Gapps. Same problem. Thought it might be a bad SDcard, but removing the card still gets freezes.
Nothing consistent - sometime it'll go for hours with no problem. Sometimes it's 2 minutes after I reboot.
So I'm looking to clear and restart. Any suggestions? Should I backup and restore the apps from Titanium Backup, or is it safer just to reflash and reinstall everything fresh from the market.
Any other recommendations?
Many thanks!

I assume that means you are running CM7 off the eMMC, correct?
How are you flashing? ROM Manager? Download the .zip to the SD card and boot into CWR? When you flash a ROM do you wipe Davlik? What version of CWR is on your device?

Yes, running of emmc.
Originally flashed a nightly (current as of, maybe, 2-3 months ago) using bootable SD card into CWM. I updated early last week using a flashed CWM but with CM7 image on a card. Also updated to the latest nightly yesterday using ROM Manager.
Current Version: 0930 (207, I believe)
Yes, wiped Davlik each time.
Thanks.

Actually, after many months of rock solid Nook performance using CM7 and Phiremod and MIUI I've experienced a lot of random freezes the past couple of weeks no matter what ROM I'm using. I wonder if my hardware is becoming unreliable. I've scrubbed and wiped every element of the device before doing new ROM installs, changed SD cards, re-downloaded ROMs. Installed CM7.03, CM7RC1, CM7 nightlies, various MIUI iterations, all to internal memory. My Nook will run anything smoothly for a few days and then start freezing no matter what I do. I do use Beautiful Widgets so I'm not running that right now, just in case. In fact at the moment I have NO widgets, shortcuts or anything else on my homescreens, just to see if that helps. Yes, I've tried fixing permissions too. A head scratcher.

Well that's not promising. Hopefully I don't have whatever syndrome you do.
I'm going to do the full wipe this afternoon and see what happens with a fresh install.
Adam
I have come to believe that my problem was NOT with whichever ROM I was using but with Beautiful Widget. Using the usual trial and error method I found that, if I did not install Beautiful Widget I didn't have a freeze problem either with MIUI 1.8.5 or CM7.1RC1. Its a shame because I like that widget but I switched to Fancy Widget (a lot less flexible but gets the job done) and I'm fine now.
For some reason certain apps just don't play well with the Nook. They will freeze it regardless whether they are running or not. Simply having them installed will cause frequent freezes from my experience. Everytime I encounter more than two freezes I will delete the last 5 or so most recently installed apps.
@stir fry alot,
Is there an app that keeps track of installs?
I had a similar freezing issue..I had to reformat my SD card and reload my apps...took care of it.
Thanks guys!
I'm running 7.1 stable that i installed from scratch on SD and kept getting freeze ups too and stumbled across this thread and wanted to say THANK YOU! I uninstalled beautiful widgets and no more freezing! Whoohoo!

Stupid question : is it using Holo?
And, if it is based on CM9, it is rooted, isn't it?
If WiFi works, I'm SURELY going to try this!
I installed it yesterday. Wifi works, it uses Holo, hat root and performs better than I expected.
Thx.
I' ve put it on. It's really laggy, but it works!
It's a good start, but if this is the best performance the legend can give, I think I won't ever change definitevly to ICS. Maybe it can be optimizated for the Legend hardware to become smoother.
Thanks for testing, but it has not got hardware acceleration yet. For testing purpose, you could overclock it up to 787 MHZ safely, and the overall performance get better notably.

I have a problem with the latest 3.0 version.
After i flash gapps i keep getting boot loops.
If i dont flash it and just flash the rom it boots fine.
Dont know what the problem is. Can someone help me?
I have the exact same problem as DareFace, but I think zeubea is aware of the problem.
zeubea-cm-9.0.0-ALPHA3.0.1 and Google Apps
I tried install this ROM multiple times today, everything works until i install gapps (full or tiny). After that phone enters infinite boot-loop (HTC logo on white background).
Radio 7.13.35.05
Bootloader HBOOT-1.01 (S-ON)
ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0
Edited @ 08:31PM GMT+2
After installing gapps over gapps works as a charm. That's weird...
I had the same bootloop problem until I installed another kernel that Zeubea provided. It's till get some fc's, mainly for clock and email, but the email still works, clock is inaccessible atm.
It's even better than cm 7.2RC1, running oc'ed at 787mhz ! It's so smooth and beautiful. Let's hope that the gps and camera will get fixed soon. If I had capabilities to donate, I so would do it.
Thanks Zeubea! The Legend community loves you, keep up the wonderful work of making our ICS dreams come true when htc can't and won't deliver.
The reason for bootlooping is the clock issue.
The default clock in 3.0.0 is 806MHz - something every Legend doesn't handle, so it bootloops.
The 3.0.1 version has this "problem" fixed.
I faced another issue releted to sounds. I change both ring and notification sounds and after some time i realise that they are reverted to default!
I have this weird thing where the danish keyboard force-closes.
It's everytime i type the word "lige". It doesn't do it with the english keyboard
I've tried to turn off the spelling correction, since it's in english, and there isn't a danish one, but it doesn't help.
Other than that it's great
bootlooping after flashing cm9 gapps, possible fix
boots up normally after flashing the zip in CWM, but after flashing gapps it bootloops, and after awhile of countless flashing i discovered it bootloops even before flashing gapps, so i tried different step to flash it and finally it boots up normally, here's what i did :
1) full wipe, dalvik cache and cache partition, factory reset
2) flash the main cm9 zip
3) full wipe, dalvik cache and cache partition, factory reset (again)
4) flash gapps (not tiny version)
5) reboot, if it boots up normally thats great, if not its ok, continue to step 6
6) boot into CWM
7) dont wipe or anything*
8) flash the main cm9 zip
9) instead of rebooting device, continue by just flashing gapps (not tiny version)
this were the steps i did to fix the bootloops after flashing gapps, apparently the gapps tiny version is not compatible with cm9 on the htc legend thats why i stick to the normal gapps file, i hope this helps anyone of u experiencing the bootloops after flashing gapps
I have some kind of problem with wifi connection. If "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Only when plugged in". After I wake up phone wifi is turned on it cannot find any networks.

How did you install it? To SD or internal memory. And which version of CM9 are you using? Opengl or non-opengl?
If you installed to internal memory, did you factory reset via CWM first? You need to if coming from stock. You can still do it now.
If you installed to SD, what class SD card are you using? It should be a Sandisk class 4.
Your download isn't broken. CM9 on the NC is - it isn't really *done* yet on the Nook Color. Developers are working on it, but for now your best bet is CM7.2. I expect we might hear an announcement very soon, but for now, use CM7.2.
It's obvious that the installation of this person has problems.
CM9 DOESNT have this kind of problems. It might be a bit slower in hardware acceleration matters in comparison to CM7, but it sure works fine in all other matters.
It's quite mature by now.

What did you download?
Edit: Forget it. LeapinLar already asked all the pertinent questions.
I'm having similar issues as well. It's kind of sluggish and it has frozen a few times already. I downloaded the nightly by Eyeballer over at Techerrata: cm-9-encore-20120904-0700-unofficial.zip.
In the instructions over at Androidforums does say that it might be sluggish the first few days so I guess I will just have to wait it out. I did just install about roughly 12 hours ago.
I just installed today, over my CM7.2 install in internal memory. It seemed okay at first, though a bit sluggish. But then I re-booted it and now it is acting possessed. Apps are launching by themselves (Play Store, a notepad app I had installed, voice command window, etc.) Very odd. I've shut it down and re-booted, same thing. I am thinking of maybe doing a complete fresh install from a SD card, wiping out all my apps from 7.2 and see if that helps at all. Or, I made a backup of my 7.2 install from CWM before installing CM9, so can always go back to that.
Just to follow up on my previous post: My NC running CM9 (latest GL version) did stabilize quite a bit after a day or so. But it still is very sluggish at times, to respond to screen touches, opening apps, and even loading webpages. I ran the Quadrant benchmark tool and the results are slightly lower than I got with CM7.2, but not terribly so. I'm debating whether to go back to 7.2, or do a factory reset and try a fresh install of CM9 and see if that's any better? Is there any evidence that a fresh install will work better than updating over a installed 7.2?
It's total mistake to update CM9 over Cm7 or any other different system.
To be able to talk about how things should be, you need to do a clean install and then for sure things will be better.

Wow, that made a world of difference! Thanks. I thought I'd read somewhere else that it was okay to update from CM7 to CM9.
Hello, Im new to this and was able to root my TF101 build .27 with oneclickrecovery V0.4, which installed SUPERUSER v3.0.7
Wanted to install the EOS 4 JB because I read this is very Fast and Stable. This is what is important to me, hence the root.
Now how do I use this and install the ROM?
Is there a youtube or link that someone can direct me to?
Have a look here:

You will need to update to TWRP 2.3.2.3 (highly recommended) via GooManager
THank you for the link. I tried to install easyflasher but I think when I installed oneclickrecovery, it installed Rogue XM Team which I think is my flasher (instead of easyflasher)..when I rebooted with VOL_DN & PWR, then VOL-UP, it went to Rogue XM Team instead of easyflasher.
So can I just download the ROM into my SD Card and use the menu from the Rogue "install from .zip file"?
Is this the method?
I know Im half way there but need guidence for finish the rest. thanks for your help.

I'll alleviate some of your confusion lol, Rouge XM etc are recoveries (that are accessed via holding vol down and power) Easyflasher is a program that runs off your pc and allows you to install a recovery (like Rouge, TWRP or CWM). Easyflasher also works as an unbrick tool (if you do something wrong and mess up your tf101 easyflasher will restore it back to stock)
When using a recovery you need to place the rom on your sd card (some recoveries will only allow flashing from internal or external sd card's not both, but in the case of rouge it access both) then wipe the device (this will get rid of data etc, so if your going to make a back up this is the time) and then wipe everything except for battery stats (it isnt necessary to wipe everything but im not using the same recovery so i cant remember what the options say on rouge so just wipe everything for now) then flash the rom with "install for .zip"(and anything that goes with it i.e gapps or another kernel----- depends on the rom your using) and then just to be safe wipe the devlik cache again and reboot.

I would STRONGLY suggest switching to TWRP. Rogue will work for now, but if you flash updates to this ROM, the new file structure for 4.2 will cause your /sdcard/ to end up in the /sdcard/0/ directory, and after another flash it will be /sdcard/0/0/. You can move the files, but IMO TWRP is much better anyway (it can flash from internal and external storage).
You can install GooManager and choose to install open recoveryscript from the menu, or you can use the dd command and a terminal emulator to install TWRP:
First, download the twrp blob from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf101
Rename the 2.3.2.3 blob to TWRP.blob
Method 1
Open a terminal emulator.
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[/B]
# [B]reboot[/B]
It is important to just do a reboot, if you reboot to recovery immediately it WILL NOT update the recovery. Upon reboot, you should see a progress indicator at the Eee Pad screen. Feel free to reboot to recovery after this (even before it boots).
I strongly recommend reading the post by Fredurco in the link he provided. As a matter of fact, read the first three posts. These are the most detailed instructions for any ROM I've ever seen and believe me, I've seen more than a few. Take your time and just follow those directions to the letter and you will be fine.

I agree, rogue can also flash from internal and external, but twrp is the best, I need to update PERI to include it...

Nothing as fast, eos3 in my opinion is the stablest custom ROM I've used but I can't move away from eos4, plus when timduru release the cornerstone build my tablet is gonna get some major use.

I agree! EOS 4 IMO is the most usable and stable 4.2 build. My biggest complaint with the CM10.1 build was the touchpad disable was not working. It is still a great ROM otherwise and pretty stable.
As far as 4.1 ROMs, EOS 3 is solid, and so is the CM10/PananoidAndroid hybrid.
I am definitely itching for some cornerstone love!
I use liquidsmooth currently, and it's my new favorite, since everything works. I haven't found or noticed any bugs, which is rare.
EOS4 is also good, but I just don't like the feel of it oddly. Very well built and worth a shot though.
Hi Fred! Dug my TF101 out of moth balls and put on EOS4.
Had some trouble with the drivers, So I ended up using 1 from column A, 2 from column B:silly:
end result, got my drivers, APX mode going, (cross between oneclickrecovery, easyflash, nvFlash, Universal Naked Drivers),
Finally got twrp on and flashed superuser
got twrp-goo manager to update it, Flashed EOS4- saw updated recovery did not stick, finished the flash, updated twrp again, reflashed eos4- saw twrp update did stick this time, and now get to play with the TF 101 all over again!
Everything old is new again!
Thanks Fred! Your post on the TF forum was great, and XDA supplemented what wasn't working for me!! Great teamwork:victory:
Thanks to Fred's excellent tuts, I was able to easily get TWRP installed and rooted (although it did kill my WiFi somehow, which I'm hoping will be solved with a different ROM), but have a dilemma:
Not to hijack (didn't see the point of starting a new thread about the same thing, but I will if you guys want me to) but which ROM will give the best video performance? I'm not trying to do 1080 stuff or anything naive like that, but I would at least like to be able to watch some of the lower quality 720p stuff (NPW's releases are very good) without stuttering or syncing issues.
Note: I'm not trying to do everything with this tablet and overall I'm VERY satisfied with the overall performance and wouldn't even be tinkering with it at all (I've had it for over a year on stock ICS) if I didn't travel a lot and use it to watch movies on the go. I only use this tablet for gaming, surfing, movies and lots of document viewing (PDF, MSOffice, etc). I don't care about GPS or the camera. I have a phone for that. However, I don't have the time or means to be constantly reflashing this thing because WiFi drops out every 30 minutes or something like that.
Basically, I'm looking for the ROM with the best combo of:
- Stability
- Respectable HD-ish video playback
I'm not a total Android noob. I spent many hours tinkering with my old Nook Color back in the day, so no worries there. I'm just looking for reliable video playback on the go. I've been looking at Android Revolution HD to preserve the ASUS File Manager and things like that, but really haven't seen anything definitive about video playback improvements. I'm open to moving up to JB, but its not a burning desire or anything.
Thanks!

I guess I am not sure what is causing your WiFi stability issues. I have no problems with the EOS 4 ROM and WiFi. It never drops out on me. It is perfectly stable, and I can play 720p H264 23.94 FPS mkv files with no issues using MX player.
Before I ran EOS 4, I was running the ParanoidAndroid/CM10 Hybrid ROM and it was just as stable and fast.
If you are having WiFi issues, did you do all the wipes (Cache, Davlik, System, Factory Reset) before flashing the ROM? If not, then that is probably where the WiFi issue is (settings from your previous ICS ROM still present on the data partition).
Disregard the bit about the WiFi. I disconnected and reconnected to my network and all is well.
It sounds like EOS4 is the only ROM that is still consistently updated. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
Thanks!

EOS4 and the CM10.1 No-Name are the only ones getting regular updates.
Thanks for the quick responses. EOS 4 is installed and process of redownloading all my apps. Now I just need to test out some video. I'm testing it without the OC kernel first, just for fun.
If you wanna see more in-depth which rom is better, I recommend a little app called Antutu benchmark, it'll give your current setup a score depending on how fast it does things like 3d renderind, sd card reading and battery performance
I might be in the minority with this opinion, but after some tinkering I'm not all that convinced that EOS is any faster than the stock ROM from a general usability standpoint (even with the latest KAT kernel), but the video is definitely improved, so I'll keep it as my "daily driver".
Thanks for the help, guys!
