Hey guys Im new to the atrix 4g and was wondering what the best ICS rom is for the atrix 4g is in terms of stability and speed. Also, any kernel recommendations? Do I just install via CWM?
As anyone will tell you, it's mostly opinion for what's best. Apart from turl and jokersax's ROMs, they're all highly customizable, and in my experience they are all stable enough for a daily ROM.
They can all be installed from CWM, but you need to clear the /data, /system and /cache partitions when you upgrade from Gingerbread. You'd be best getting jokersax's Kitchen Sink installer, since it has several ROMs in one file. From that, you can switch between them easily and see what you prefer.
AOKPCB + faux's kernel...

jokers ics is really nice, but I like the ics MIUI rom, very nice UI and feels a lot more customisable in general. its also based on jokers ics but I think its outdated! video camera also doesn't work but you can download an app for it
This is purely subjective. I suggest you read the individual rom threads in the dev section, and/or try different roms out or yourself to see what fits your particular needs the best. Also, there are multiple threads on this subject already.
That being said... thread closed.

i am completely unused to having so many options of what to flash, it's a little overwhelming. can anyone point me in the right direction to show me what all i've been missing out on?
There's many roms and kernels in the dev section welcome to the evo forums but my favorite is cm7
evo on cm7
sense - koni elite or calkulins or myns
2.3 - cm7 or Salvage mod. MIUI is cool for a while too
Ports are more difficult, but viruses sense 3.0 is fun
my faves are in my sig, and MIUI is a fun one to play with, but no 4G. There are some nifty Sense2 ROMs, like avalaunchV3, and can be awesome, depending on which screen HW you have. it's based on a beta leak, and the drivers for certain screen types are not present yet.
ALSO! in another day, HTC will be releasing a new gingerbread update, which will be making for some AWESOME ROMs in the coming week. keep your eyes peeled.
awesome! thanks for the replies folks. currently running evodeck 1.2t and loving it.
my epic never saw true aosp before, so as far as kernels. . . is it cool to flash whatever aosp kernel on whatever aosp rom? any wiping to be done when flashing kernels?

Wipe cache and dalvik before flashing kernels. What recovery are you using? I would suggest AmonRa, due to scripting issues. Make sure the kernels are Gingerbread-compatible. I would suggest Tiamat w/ SBC. I made a poll, and it is the winner.
yes i'm on amon-ra, was good to see it again i missed it from my g1.
thanks for the suggestion!
definitely tiamat. Try MIUI for a totally new experience as well.
Try Decks or Myn's rom.

I'm a pretty average note user.. Haven't rooted or flashed a custom ROM on my note (had a bad experience previously with galaxy s). After waiting patiently for ics.. Only to find out the stock ics ROM sucks and is full of bugs.. I'm a huge fan of CM9 but can't despense without s notes features... Is there any ROM I could flash I've missed? Or should I wait (since note ics source code is out) for a custom ROM with s note features? Can this be achieved on cm9.. I hate touchwiz
Kindly advice.

Since franco snd hardcore have released new kernels lpy is a good daily driver in my opinion. Plenty of good custom roms are out there which make use of these kernels. Fast and stable.

You just have to try some yourself and see what fits you, that's why we have a lot of variety (or try to). We all have different opinions about what we want.
But yeah, with Franco and Speedmod kernels out, it makes the stock ICS roms bearable (well, so I've heard from multiple people as I'm ParanoidAndroid right now ). Also, each ROM will have its Pros and Cons.
Stock ICS (XXLPY) works like a charm on mine. I wiped, rooted and flashed it via Mobile Odin (coming from a rooted GB kernel !). I have removed some of the Samsung bloatware. I have replaced the defaut TW launcher by Nova. I am using my Note intensively since 2 weeks, not a single issue since then. It's fast, stable and the battery usage is more than acceptable. It's the first android stock ROM I have ever encountered with such quality.
That said, I am a big fan of Cyanogen mods (on my LG Optimus 2x) and I will probably switch to CM9 sooner or later but if you want to get 100% of the Notes features, the stock ROM is highly recommended and a pleasure to live with on a daily basis.

The best ROM is the one that works best for you. Try on a few for size and make your own decision.
Hey
My ICS ROM is kiling me as it is slow, unstable, etc. Even supercharger isnt doing anything I want to completely wipe it and go back to GB. Ive read things about Elite but it needs its own kernel and Im not really intrested as I dont have time for this.
I want stable over speed.
Thank you.
as with most roms elitemod comes with its own kernel, as in when you flash the rom you are flashing the kernel at the same time.
careful about asking for best roms if you don't want your thread delted, but elitemod is easily one of the beter 2.3.x roms for the vision

Hi guys...
I have a N7 16Gb from october and I think thare's not a real reason to change the rom on this device...except the tablet ui and the general fun to make it!
Well...
I'm not here to ask you guide etc. but an advice.
What custom rom do you advice? many talk about Paranoidandroid but I try it on an old Galaxy Scl and it was pretty horrible and unstable...but on nexus seems the rom most supportend and with much more feature...
Or I'm attracted by the Dirk AOKP that seem pretty good....
Beside this....it's difficult also the kernel decision...
Franco Kernel? or M3 or Trinity? I'm not interested in overclock...
thanks to all in advance
no one?
No one is answering because there are a ton of these threads asked all the time. There is no best Rom or Kernel. Try searching and see what features you like or what sounds interesting and then just install it and see for yourself.
I personally like the Omega 3 kernel, OC is optional and it has just about every scheduler/governor you could possibly want. Performance and battery life are pretty much on par with the other top kernels. I haven't tried any ROMS mainly because the 2 I flashed ended up boolt-looping. So I am using the stock with some pretty major tweaks. I am a DEV on other sites and once I jump through the hoops to be able to post in developer forums I will be posting my own ROM. OC is for people who don't know how to optimize. *cough*

Modaco custom ROM (currently version Jr13) is light, mostly stock, extra features that help me are- prerooted, enhanced power menu, tweaked youtube app for video preload, enhanced quick settings panel, comes with gapps etc.
Modaco cyanogenmod custom ROM (currently version r4) consumes more processing power, based on CM 10.1 so has all its features, prerooted, more enhanced power menu(with screenshot and extended desktop options), tweaked youtube, enhanced quick settings(devoid of vol control), comes with gapps, comes with cyanogenmod file manager etc.
MCR Jr13 and MCMCR r3 are interchangeable with dirty flash so I get to retain all my apps.
M-kernel (currently a33 version) gives me ample undervolting option (lp, cpu, gpu, ram), and I can set minimum brightness with rootdim, so I can extend my battery life.

Don't know why people make thread to ask others what's best rom, kernel... Answers will be different from users and depends what they prefers, so it'll be difficult to make a choice because every answers won't be the same. What I did when i wanted to choose was reading threads and try by myself to see what I liked. Sorry if my answer will not help you to choose but it's the best i can advise you. Hoping you find what best suits you.
Phone: GT-I9100P
Kernel: Dorimanx
ROM: 4.2.1 Vanilla RootBox
Tablet: Nexus 7
Kernel: M-Kernel
ROM: 4.2.1 AOKP PUB
MOD: JusTunBean
Xenon
Im usin Xenon HD its a 4.2 rom (aokp base) and it's very customizable for your likes. You should give it a try.:cyclops:
If you are doing any ROM other than stock, I suggest AOKP for sure. It has a ton of mods for your ui and allows a lot of customizing. Make sure you get 4.1.2 milestone version and get your gapps as well or you won't have necessary files. Hope this helps look in the aokp official thread for download

thanks to all...
all advices are really usefull to understand the mod world...
I was intent to install an AOKP rom, but I don't really understand the difference...
I would like to try the the paranoid but i think is AOSP...
for AOKP I don't know what rom to try...I see the Dirty AOKP but I'm not sure....
There's also one called smooth ROM check it out, you should search YouTube to see if you like it. personally I'm back to the to the 4.1.2 stock rom because on aokp it wasn't allowing me to install some APK's from the play store that i really wanted. it said they werent compatible with my device when I knew they were compatible with n7.. I wish there was a way around that but nobody on here would tell me if there was or not when i posted a thread asking... anyways hope you find what you are looking for and I do suggest checking YouTube first for custom Roms for nexus 7 before flashing over hella different ones it would take less time, peace and good luck!

Hi, my question is if it worth flash CM9/10 based roms on our lowend device. If it is smooth and bugless as CM7 ROMs. I tried CM9 long time ego but it was horrible so I'm asking now.
Thanks
If your concern is stability, CM is much more stable than when it sounds like you last tried it. Some nightlies might be better than others, but I personally would not hesitate to daily-drive CM10 at this point.

I've been using CM10 nighlies since nAa released the .32 kernel.
Now at version 4 of this kernel my system is way faster than even FroyoPro..
Here's a couple of screenies to show you.
Odp: Is it worth to flash CM9/10 based ROMs on our X8?
Worthy or not worthy. It's the matter of personal taste.
