most stable 1.6 rom?

im running fresh 1.1 and loving it but i may want to try a 1.6 rom...just something to play with until android 2.1 comes in march. which one would you guys recommend? im looking for speed, almost no crashes and pretty much everything works, oh yeah looks are important too.

Far as I know there's only two. Both pretty much Vanilla. Neither has BT. Neither will send an SMS for some handsets.
Try them both.

There are only two 1.6 ROMS, quietcblongs and gbhil. Both are basically the same, as gbhil just takes the "core" of quietcblongs 1.6 and makes some tweaks here and there. Either one has the same stuff working, just keep in mind quietcblongs intention is to have a clean 1.6 AOSP ROM and gbhil has put in some eclair icons and some other aesthetically appealing stuff. Read their threads to find out what's working and what's not, basically bluetooth is a no go, some people have sms issues, no visual voicemail (although MMS was resolved on the last update and that may make the visual voicemail work).
Read on..
Well, fchipm beat me to the punch and offered a recap of my post LOL

Actually gbhil's & quiet's don't have the same working things. gbhil's AOSP is still based off of quiet's 12.31.09 build, so gbhil's speakerphone, BT & MMS don't work. In quiet's latest build, he fixed the speakerphone & MMS, but in turn broke headphones.

Use quiets. It's being actively developed. Mine was just a proof of concept that I used as a testbed to see what I can and can not do while cooking a ROM for the Hero. I keep trying to say that, but it keeps falling on deaf ears

Which you can just flash the 31.12.09 build of quiet's & have the same working things also...

I'd just skip 1.6 and go to 2.0.1 if I were you. I flashed 1.6, and SMS didn't work with my phone. Other than that, I liked it. But I flashed DChadwick's 2.0.1, and WOW. I LOVE it.

im running quiet's AOSP 1.6 + Googlebits
...then metamorphed my way to having all eclair icons + eclair dialer + nexus launcher + nexus power control widget
beyond satisfied now. beautiful, functional, AND blazing fast.

Does your camera work?

No it doesn't... that's the only downside. But I can live without my camera, since all I use it for is taking pictures of ridiculous things I find and putting them on Facebook. If the camera is a deal-breaker, then definitely use 1.6 (if SMS works for you... hopefully it will).

That's what kills me
No camera on the 2.x roms and no SMS on the 1.6's
All I want on my Hero is an AOSP plain Vanilla ROM with those two things working.

"If not now, then when?!"
soon.

Would you mind sharing which Metamorph packages you used. I have never used the program before and am a little overwhelmed with all the option by various different people. Thanks in advance.

Hey!! That's the exact same thing i do with the camera. There's not one picture of my face on my facebook, any posts, or updates..just awesome random pictures i upload. Its basically an easy central photo storage.

Beats Audio!

Guys I just tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523760
From what my ears tells me, there seems to be remarkable difference in sound indeed!
Credits to fuss132!!!
Don't know if this belongs in Development Section or already posted... apologies in advance...
Oh yeah, just flash this via CWM then its set...
And guys I am using a Beats Solo as my daily distraction (actually I use it as my work headset as well... makes me look cool than I really am lol) and I DEFINITELY noticed a change (sorry Nobnut)...
It gave a better bass response... not that it made the bass sound heavier but actually more crisp as opposed to being muddy... Before I hate the Beats Solo sound in "normal" settings but now its much better... My music files are all FLACs ranging from Pearl Jam to Rage Against the Machine....

giving it a try thanks

How is this enabled? Or once installed its already activated?

you're right it doesnt belong in the dev section
its probably the placebo effect

100% NOT placebo !
Everybody who listened to Beats Audio will tell you - Its more than just placebo, it really sounds WAY better.
Of Course just if you dont have 9$ Headphones.
In Ear Headphones sound great with Beats Audio

Test it with the MIUI 4.0 build
It does sound better !
Will be implemented in [V4a] next release !
Thanks for sharing @spandsbab

how is it activated on GB after flashing

...by playing some music.

beside the default music player,anyone try other player?

wow! i will give a try!
Maybe it really work,but the stock player couldn't support FLAC any more...

now who need beats headphone? lol... if feels like im having beats headphone rightnow.
+1

Thanks.... Works great on rocket Rom 1.5... Cheers... Envy

CM7 Nightly music quality - SOLVED! see post#5 (not CM7 related)

Hey guys. Im running the 02/23/12 nightly.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing lower-than-par headset quality. I'm very particular with my music, and i listen to a lot of the same songs repeatedly, so i know exactly how they are supposed to sound.
Forgive me, I'm not too keen on audio lingo, so its difficult for me to describe what I'm experiencing: sometimes it sounds like the volume is fluctuating. One may even say that it sounds like my phone is having a difficult time when there is heavy bass and heavy treble at the same time.
Regardless of my ****ty explanation, has anyone else noticed a difference in audio quality since using the new nightlies?

Have you tried the beats audio mod? found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
Are you shure it's CM7 not 9? I thought that there are no more updates for cm7.

Definitely cm7, nightly support started back up about a month ago or so
What does that mod do? I'm not looking for anything fancy, i just want it to sound the way it should...like it used to when i was on the old CM7, and on froyo

I have noticed the past few updates Supercurio has put out that they have made the sound almost "wavy " if that makes sense. I just reverted back two builds ago and all is back to normal. Think he is recoding Voodoo app to integrate free and plus into one app and something isn't gellin too good. I know exactly what you are talking about and it is hard to pit it into words. Pretty sure it isn't exclusive to CM.

would you be so kind as to PM me the apk of the voodoo version you are using??

Of course my friend. PM sent

You're a bloody genius, the revert version you sent me resolved the issue. "wavy" - HA! that was a PERFECT way to describe what i was experiencing, and it was ruining my life. thank you for bringing meaning back to my exisistence.
my wife was telling me it was probably all in my psycho head...WOMEN!!
(i mustve casually, and coincidentally, updated voodoo shortly before/after switching to the new nightlies, which is prob the reason i was led to believe it was a ROM issue)

[SOUND MOD] HTC BoomSound - Test Release

Heres another audio mod for the nexus 5. tested on c-rom 7.1, seems to be a bit louder and bassier but would like feedback from others willing to try it, preferably on roms without other sound mods. I found it works well with viper
ps im using some cheap Philips earphones & noticed a small improvement but it could be a placebo effect

How to restore?

oops sorry, no restore function at the moment
a nandroid or backup is recommended. alternatively if u have rootexplorer or the like, backup or rename the system/libs/soundfx folder and system/etc/audio_effects.conf prior to install

updated with v2. would like some feedback to see if its working for others or whether its just placebo

@ dead0, OK I will give it a shot. Didn't notice anything changing with first build.
A few things to consider. I am always looking for good sound filters. I currently rate viperaudio fx newest with altering the audio.XML file in etc folder the best. (Volumeboost.zip in screenshot is by Audigod of SOKP Rom), Followed by Noozy player with Dolby Mobile and Noozoxide Pro and Beats Audio mod.
The filters are a mod and boosting sound volume values inside system seem to be the best way to go.
What does this mod of yours consist of?
Just filters or a updater script also to actually boost audio? Thanks!

its more of a filter with a slight boost. works best with faux sound mod in kernel and viperfx. unless my hearing is off, did notice a small boost with deeper bass

Works on Stock 4.4.4?

looking forward to more updates

Pure Nexus. Working perfectly.

I can't stand sound mods that involve more than one app. Just the other week I found something that looked promising, installed it, and then I had viper/Dolby/some Sony eq app/ and some terminal commands. I hated it. I don't see the point in it. Unless you have a few hundred dollars in any type of sound system, and even then most of the tuning can be done from amps/eq
The most Ill go is viper4android ALONE. and even when I do that, I have to modify my goto interactive governor tweaks to eliminate clipping and distortion when the screen turns off.

Try Arise. You will only need to set up V4A, nothing else. If you experience crackling with it, try sonophilo's setprop instead of the default one (instructions in the thread), it usually eliminates all distortions for me. And the quality on the "Numbers" release is hands down much superior to basic V4A installation (i am using also the optional Atmos add-on, i use it instead of v4a equalizer and it's better imo) .

the ARISE sound mod is working for me... it work mm like stock and pa and also works on android nougat

Arise numbers is the best I've used so far. Much better sound quality than just using V4A or ViperAtmos.

Should work but not sure since I've just tried Arise with Pure Nexus.

hello, can anybody teach me how to install ARISE step by step? because I flashed V4A on PN with EX kernel and although I didnt have 'driver' issues, the v4a doesnt effect the sound itself. already tried changing values in EQ but no effect.
