What is the most stable ROM with GingerBread+Sense for X8? Or at least, is there a rom with full functions working?
I use Racht's CM7 Roms. It is stable but quite battery drain.
Thanks. Any more choices? Since this one has some major bugs on Camera, FM etc. Also the X8 battery is really weak...

I'm with shpit's ROM, XGin 5.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135343
The camera works only in VGA mode but works
I really don't understand what's wrong whit those threads, i mean, if you look in Development forum there are many Custom Roms topics, every chef gave description of what does and doesn't work in theyr roms, there are people that report back issue and not of that roms, so what i'm asking to myself is:
Is it really necessary to open a thread for "what is the most stable rom?".
Am i wrong here?
I know, this is general forums but it doesn't mean that every new user should post here these no sense threads ( no offence here).
Again, am i wrong? Because sometimes i was told that i'm evil to close some kinds of threads.
I know that new users cannot post in dev section but IMO all these questions have an answer only by reading Rom Threads.
I don't want to be "the evil moderator" since that, if i can, i like to be helpful, say that, i can make a sticky thread for a general vision, pro/cons of every x8 roms but someone need to start and take care of it because i don't have an X8.
let me know.

I really like racht's roms, there are less services running in background than others and is a pretty stable rom. I've been using it for weeks and i had no reboots. About the battery drain question, disable the automatic sinc in the options.
its only my opinion... already tried floyo, miniCM and froyobread....
1) floyo is fast but battery drain very fast..
2) the most stable is miniCM.. all is working and suitable for daily use
3) stable rom with gingerbread look...
try all of em yourself and pick what u like....
I believe I've tried all kind of ROMs: 2.2.1, 2.2.9 (?) and 2.3.4. For me kuyaDROID was the fastest and stable 2.3.4. But all 2.3.4 I have tried consumed my battery at most in a day (also kuya's). One version ate my battery in a half of day. So, for the moment, I decided to come back to 2.2.1 (floyo-0.20) which is the fastest (1000+), stable and battery care (more than two days) for me. An advice: you will see here different opinions for the same ROM - so try all for youself, and make your own opinion. Good luck.

At first, this thread was wrong section
by the way, I've been used HD2 Tmous for 2 years, over Froyo, GingerBread, ICS and JB too. But GingerBread Rom with Tytung Kernel is the best, Working smooth like a charm, everything working, bit game performance lower than Sense Rom. If you findding a daily use Rom, Nexus HD & Miui 2.3 was choiced
Miui Rom (happy to use this ever): Change Log | Download Link for HD2 | Tytung r16 Kernel (flash after rom installed - to updated some feature & speed)
Tytung 2.3 ROM AOSP [Nov. 10, 2012] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.3a

Inndinky.. i guess you havn't updated your ROM in a longgg time.. tytung ICS also works flawlessly.. JB is near to perfection with upcoming v1.3..
PACman 1.2a is also amazing if you want to have a lot more tweaking options then tytung's ROM..
The biggest PRO with tytung ROM over others is non-technical.. ie. his change logs and instructions are far more clear and precise then any other dev thread on XDA.. and i have seen a lot of those..:good:

No, you dont,[ i always try new roms, when it release, ICS seem to be work flawlessly, but how about low ram effecitve ? Battery Drain ? Call Volume not reconized the level you set before,Camera taking pictures in slow speed, HWA some time work and some time... i dont known, in this case we talk about a daily Rom, not try&tester.

Inndinky.. i never really experienced any of those issue but you could be correct.. as it had been long since i ditched GB as my first exp was with honeycomb and i opted ICS for its features over GB.. Battery drain is a problem but tweets can get you there.. camera i'll compare with GB.. thanks.. HWA and call Volume.. no problems yet.. still thanks i'll check out GB today..

First of all, nobody can answer this question. There is no 'best ROM' as this is completely subjective, i.e. it varies from user to user. As you can see, you've already received tonnes of different answers, because different things work for different people. In general, all of the ROMs which are regularly updated are great, so try any one out and see what works for you. Some general trends (remember it won't be the same for each ROM and these are based only on my opinion and experience) are:
1. GB is smoother and more stable for every day use than any other Android version
2. ICS is marginally faster than JB but doesn't have all of the features such as Google Now
3. Sense is slow
4. JB>ICS>GB for web browsing and gaming
5. I personally don't see the influence of 'Project Butter' in JB vs ICS.
6. MIUI and CM are about equal in terms of performance, there are advantages and disadvantages to both
7. Battery drain is consistently between 3 and 5 ma. I've had slightly better battery life on GB than on ICS or JB, but once again the difference isn't particularly noticeable. All ROMs should get through a day of usage without issues.
Search before posting
Yo!
I think the whole HD2 section is full with these question!
The search bar on top of the page is not an ad so use it!
There are many rom guides where every rom is posted on it, use it!
Best rom?
What about best report like said above, lol.
And hope anyone close this post.
Any really mate , just have a look threw them
cm or AndroPlus is my favourite
I installed like ICS, mokee or something like that and they are soo buggy and starting to get slow, I mean what did I do wrong I create 1Gb partition on EXT4 and install NativeSD trough 4ExT recovery. Can someone suggest me some stable and fast ROM with Sense 3.5 that doesn't have a lot of bugs or at all that would be cool, thanks.
I'm newb but I think each rom has it own bugs, I using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795608
Hello there.. I'm sorry for opening one more, maybe, the same thread, but I opened it cuz I need to ask many question and I need frequent assistance.
In fact, that what I want to do is to install one of following Custom ROMS: Jelly Bean ROM and Hyperion 7x pre gm , of some ROMS I have seen, this two is best for me by the look.. I dont have experience with this, so this will be my first time to install. If u guys know something bout this two ROMS, is it good to install, is it stable, bugs, and ur experience, or if u know much better, post it there.
-Do I need to flash KERNEL too, or just can flash ROM? (sorry if it's stupid question) ; if I need which is the best?
-I did backup with my current files, first User data, then System data.. (I want to restore my apps with data after installing C.ROM, If it is possible..) ; also, if something goes wrong, should I need to backup somehow whole current stock rom?
That was it for now.. If I remember some more questions, I will post it.
Thank to all who will help.. :highfive:

Ok.. Thanks.. What is a difference with custom kernel and stock?
JELLY BEAN AND HYPERION ARE THE TOP and THE HOTTEST ROMS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW..........im not much a fan of jb,but i hv to say it got damn looks...the ui has been osumly customised.......performance wise ter are few issues may b bit slower compared to hyperion..... currently 3 to 4 updates have been out and ol are superhit
now going to hyperion pre gm ........its not complete in away..it was released to get more review and functionality check....but NOTE tis its highly performance themed...as it says it is the fastest and smoothest rom out now(except fr booting time)...look wise not so gud .. has osum features related to network...plus wrks grt with white kernel and his new zram update
major part>>>>>>>>>>>>>JB's next update NEMISIS is just around the corner.....
hyperion7x update is almost ready...hyperion 8 is under testing nd will be released by next year...

diff....custom kernel as the name says are customised fr performance, battery life etc.....it has many features including overclocking of processors to 1.2ghz ...
stock kernel is just fr basic operations it gives the features like standard stuffs.....ter would be hardly ny galaxy y user who would be using stock kernel

Well, you will have more features in custom kernel like firewall support and battery saving possibilities etc.. you need to do some searching and reading to know all about it.. as its too big to put it in one post..

No you don't need to flash a kernel and also if you were planning on flashing 1 you'd have to do it after flashing the rom just to be safe also I think jellyblast flashes a kernel (I might be wrong) in which case don't flash a kernel
To the backup question assuming your using titanium backup u can absolutely restore after flashing a Rom (that's the whole point) just make sure you backup all user apps and all system data
And to your rom backup question no you don't need to do a backup of your Rom assuming you have a pc you can just use Odin (a pc program) to restore stock if something goes wrong but you can do a backup using cwm that's what deadly was referring to when he said nandroid backup I don't do it cuz it's big
_____________________________________
This post uses the patented TingTingin®™ method I would teach it to you but you are not yet worthy (come back in a hundred years)
1. kernels Are included in roms
no need to flash kernel seperately
2. using cwm backup your stock (current ) rom and restore if anything goes wrong
Yeah, agree with both!
Can u guys suggest me any safe and stable kernel in combination with this two roms? I'm scared to test, couse I need stable phone with good and more improved performances, like speed, size of free internal memory, more options and many more. If this roms are not stable, and have big bugs and if isnt stable, suggest me more and the best for you..

Not all Roms include kernels some just reflash stock i.e creeds also a Rom kernel that u get might not necessarily be what u want like repencis comes with a kernel but if you want to overclock u will need merruks kernel or undervolt will be savies kernel etc

Both of those are stable and again if jellyblast does in fact flash a kernel then don't flash 1 also if u have a pc it is EXTREMEEELY hard to brick your phone into an unrecoverable postion Odin will save u time and time again just read here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800
Also flashing a rom won't increase internal memory of your phone if u want more look into link2sd and partitioning your sd card

for increasing the internel memory ter r a numerous ways say a count of 3-5...but the stable and fastest and most commonly used is LINK2SD
but before u flash a custom rom...study about odin ..HARD BRICK SOFT BRICK AND ol......odin is the process by which u cn revert back ur device to the way it was......l
kinda like hard formatting or installing a new os in pc.......so plz before installing custom rom learn about odin,soft brick,hard brick,cwm,recovery mode,download mode
Ok guys! Thanks to everybody! Now I will backup whole stock rom via CWM.. But I have a problem there.. I can scroll till the last folder that can see.. After a last folder, I cant scroll down more.. IDK why..
At increasnig memory, I mean installed system apps uses less memory, and many may be moved, if I hear good, so you can make much space..
Also, I will ssee again which is best JB or Hyperion and will install it.. I will inform u guys how it goes.. Thanks again!
If you need help with installation.. you can check my guide in my signature.. it has all flashing guides you may need of.. just follow steps carefully..

Well, if you are downloading from development thread. Then just disable the antivirus and finish download.. if you are worried.. then just try other roms..
You can extract zip after download and scan to see which is virus file it says.. so you will get idea and post it here..

I know this is another one of those very opinionated threads, but this isn't for MY phone. I rooted my friends Fascinate over a year ago and flashed a ROM for him. It did really well for a long time, but just recently his phone started getting really buggy and slow. Just wondering what you guys recommend for a really nice stable, but quick ROM?
Also...bit off topic, but are there any good Audio Mods for the fascinate..?
Any of the ones on the main page of the development section are quality Roms some may have a quirk or two but generally nothing that can't have a workaround,,
you just really have to embrace what jellybean is and what the developers have done for us
Which is give us the very latest/best android is offering right now that that runs on a package 3+ yrs old
Also spend some time and just read their main page and last page or two to see what they are all about...
Each one will require some degree of personalization to make it fit your/friends style/needs

Dam they got Jelly Bean running on the Fascinate?? I had a Fascinate way back in the day before I got a Thunderbolt...couldn't even get Jelly Bean on that haha...now I have a Nexus...like I said this is for my friend. I running PA on my nexus and LOVE it so maybe I will try that on his phone, but thanks for the suggestions!
Oh...what recovery do you recommend? Do you have to use ODIN at all...I don't have it setup on my computer and I remember it being a pain in the ass to setup and use

Well he is already rooted with a custom ROM so I am guessing I don't have to use all those steps again...I can just go into recovery, wipe and flash
Depends on what rom he is on...
Section 4 deals with foolproof way to go odin to jb,,, with links and all...just have to follow very closely

Ahh...well he is on an ICS ROM...I will just go the ODIN way I suppose
Last part of section 4...
*For those currently on a ICS rom and want to upgrade to a Jellybean rom or vise versa. Just download the rom of choice to sd, boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, then flash rom...should be no need to go all the way back to stock unless your having alot of issues with force closes and what not.
Only thing to add is you'll need to flash the ROM 2-3 times because of a new partition layout...
Don't do anything extra... And it should work fine

I highly recommend CM 10.1, although I had a weird issue lately where no matter what performance settings I was using my music would skip around every 10 min or so, but I'm sure jt will find a fix for it eventually. If you don't constantly play music on your phone like I do then you probably wouldn't mind that little gripe. I've been on Helly Bean now for a few days with no problems, which is basically CM 10.1 with a few extras and Devil Kernel baked in. I know Paranoid is a really good rom, but I haven't tried it myself. We're lucky enough to have great developers that all make excellent roms so just take your pick of the popular ones and have at it

So keep flashing it over in recovery 2-3 times??
Any recommendations on a good recovery for him?

He just means it will abort the flash to warn you that your phone is being switched to the new partition layout and you will lose all your data... it's just a formality and nothing to worry about. All you need to do is flash again after the warning and it'll do it for real

Oh and as far as audio mods, there are a few out there (Acid mod I think?) but if you use CM 10.1 it will come with DSP manager which lets you tweak it a bit, but personally I just use Power Amp and the EQ on that is just phenomenal and I don't even feel like I need anything else because of how good it works.
Alright thanks guys! Just trying to figure out what recovery to upgrade to...maybe TWRP?
Yes it will pop up and say error 7 or warning, but just go ahead and chose reinstall the same zip file again... And it will give error again, so repeat... After the 3rd time,,,, then reboot
The cwm recovery is built in
The hellybean roms have their own with some extra options,,, plus if you want to flash their kernel,,, there is a thread with the info

If you want to use TWRP then go to this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133358 but as hhp already pointed out, each rom comes bundled with it's own recovery so the only time you need to really flash your own is if you're coming from stock and flash CMW4 fixed for CM7

Ohh...weird...its been so long since I had a Fascinate and my TB and Nexus aren't that way haha. Thanks for all your help. I may just flash back to stock using Step 4 and then put PA on or something. His phone is pretty dam buggy, lots of force closes, or permission errors so I figure I will try to get it as cleaned up as possible
if lack of activity is any indicator(as in not too much complaints) then I just want to cast a vote for JellyBro. I am now on 2-25-13 version and its been pretty smooth and solid for me thus far.
it;s working well enough that I was considering setting up a device for my mom(who defintely doesn't have the patience for stuff that doesn;t work).
I use GeeWiz 2.8.1... it has Voodoo audio, and is super fast and smooth. Along with the KGB FA16 Kernel... All of which can be found in my sig including the theme.
I've tried dozens of mtds e.g ICS, JB, etc. and even GeeWiz 4.2... but the GW 2.8.1 is the most stable and fastest. You can also go with 2.9 from the main GeeWiz 2 thread. Even though it's Gingerbread... it's up there with all the newer roms for speed and dare I say even more stable than most newer Roms. AND.. Everything works... unlike a lot of the newer JB roms out there.
Hope that helps.

from what I remember, your going to have to ODIN back to the stock EH03 then up to geewiz , this is because both of partitioning and recovery differences.
.
You don't have to Odin back to stock. The link in my dropbox is a full wipe odin... it's just like going back to stock but not. Just odin the tar and you're good to go. Full eh03 support.

Hi guys.
I'm in a great dilemma right now.
I like TW but almost all custom kernels are giving me reboots every now and then. :/
Right now I'm using Adam Kernel which doesn't reboot on me, but I need more, like voltage control etc.
So I'm considering either using an AOSP or Google Edition ROM.
Because there are TONS of ROM's out there I'll need your help.
I'm looking for a ROM which:
A) Is completely stable and has little to no bugs.
B) Is not lagging on games, because I game a lot on my S4.
If I'm gonna use a custom kernel I'll definitely need another ROM.
Also I don't care if it's 4.2.2 or 4.3, as long as it's stable and get the job done right.
Anyway, can you suggest some ROM's based on my needs?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Come on, just post the name of the ROM if you're bored!

Best Kernel/Rom threads are forbidden on XDA , this will get closed soon.
And if you can't handle any kernel without reboots except for Adam Kernel (which is pretty much stock) then that tells me your cpu cant handle undervolting mate
Omega if you want a stable TW experience with some customization, MIUI if you want a completly new and awesome experience but can tolerate some issues popping up.
I run MIUI atm

First of all, this isn't a "best rom" thread, this is a thread for suggesting a good rom based on my needs.
Also I've had reboots without undervolting so your argument is a bit invalid I'm afraid.
Anyway, If you're not going to help I'd suggest you stop spamming the thread because I'm aware of the xda rules.
Thanks.
Echoe or WanamLite.
Have tried a quite a few roms atm using echo rom and ausdim v11 kernal. Stable fast and great battery life. GE roms are great. I recommend reading through the threads and choosing the first thing that grabs your eye. Enjoy

Guys, thanks for the help but I'm on Omega and don't want to switch to another TW rom.
I'm looking only for AOSP/AOKP/GE ROM's.
Thanks!

A "pick the best rom for me" thread is still a best rom thread. IBTL
