So I am going to pass this phone down to my kids. I have tried many different 4.x ROM over the past year or so but usually end up going back to CM 7 simply because it is the most stable. However, I am now seeing more new apps that do not support GB.
So, I want to put a 4.x ROM on the phone but want the one that is most stable on this device. What are your thoughts?
Have you tried the AOSPx ICS by SteppNasty (Stepp_aospX 1.0.0-MR2) ? I really haven't found any bugs with it. Seems pretty stable to me.

Try vipertouch, you can run it with sense and has option during install for desense. Good all around daily driver

Sabsa Prime v15.0 | 4.0.4 has been the most stable rom for me.

Hey,
I'm coming from JF 1.5 and since he has stopped developing I thought I better go to a new ROM, what do you guys recommend? How stable are the Hero ROMs for every day use?
Thanks
I would go with the latest cyanogen stable mod which is 4.04.1 one I believe, there are too differant threads for expermental and stable. My opinion is that I would not use a hero for daily use, too slow, pretty but some people say they have fast heroes
I would try either cyan or xrom. If you want to try hero I would go with jacxheroski but no matter what size swap you have you will get SOME lag and calls will come in slowly, it is all personal opinion though so you will have to see what fits you best.
I went from JF 1.51, to a Rogers, and then went from that to Cyanogen. I'd go to Cyanogen and stay there. It works well and is very fast.
Cyanogen is where it's at. I'm using his 4.1.1 experimental with no probs, but the stable is most likely safest 4.0.4.
whats a rom? is it like a firmware?
I suggest xRom, Quick, simple, easy to use and fast as hell.

lol
hero roms are fast and stable enough(for some people) however the maintainance and cutbacks such as no bluetooth, dim leds , and not being able to have many apps running are not worth it(for me at least) if you want a good stable rom i would recommend any of cyans stable roms however on weekends i do usually flash to a hero rom to see the progress that has been made
and yes a rom is like a firmware
A rom is a modified build of android based off a stock system with tons of good stuff like superuser and unicorns. The word roms were used back when we were are little kids using windows mobile and it just has stuck with us. I would have suggested xrom but that requires the danger spl but since it was asked what's a rom, I didn't think it was a good idea
Ps.. yes I said unicorns, mine has unicorns, if your's doesn't, then you got ripped off.......I would ask your rom dev for a refund
I finally took the plunge Sunday night, going from JF1.51 to CM4.0.4, and I couldn't be happier. It's like a whole new phone!
I installed the latest CM recovery image manually, then installed CM Update from the market, ran it, let it do its thing, and viola!
What is the best ICS Rom for HD2 At the moment?
Icecreamtoasty
v1.5 is the best ,but not prefect.
Yes i think to
i use this ROM : NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.5. I love him But you must known, everything is not perfect. Not yet...
Im also keen on ICS
Which rom is suitable for everyday use ?? please can you recommend one that has working email/internet/wifi/camera&video obviously phone/text not major sluggish and freezes..whats battery life like?
When you say not perfect- in what terms ?
Thanks for your help
after using a few ICS builds i went back to 2.3.xxx
it's ok & nice but still not ready for prime time.
what you can do is use the SD version & you can put ICS & Froyo with different version builds & give them a run so that you can test them yourself.
Happy HD2'ing

Massive +1 to that, don't bother using ICS as a daily driver. GB is the way to go for now, and if you use MAGLDR you can still run ICS (and any ROM you want, for that matter) from your SD card to play around with it, but you almost certainly won't be pleased with the performance.

I strongly disagree. I currently use IceCreamTosti daily and it's more stable than my previous Nexus_HD2 gingerbread. Apps FC very rarely. Default launcher works better/loads faster now too. A few weeks now and everything's great. Except for hardware acceleration which I hope will be present any week now. Oh yeah - I flash the new ICS kernels from dorimanx.
I'm also using IceCreamTosti. Almost from begining of this rom, and its best out there, stable, fast, smooth. And i also have to disagree with that thing about not using ICS. from first day when i flashed ICS i was not able to get back to 2.3.x. I just recommend ICS to everyone with HD2
previously I've used Nexus ICS from Tytung. it was not so good ı think. there were lots of reboots. maybe it was my mistake, maybe i did something wrong with it. now from yesterday i've been using ICS tosti 0.11 ı ve flashed dorimanx 6.3 kernel and will be trying this. my first impression is it is a bit slow(without dorimanx kernel)
but I'm still waiting for perfect ICS build.
IceCreamTosti all the way.This rom is awesome and more than ready for day to day use.
Tosti seems to be the best but I would have to vote on the 'don't use ICS as a daily ROM' side.
I tried it once but I found the 2D performance to be annoying in the extreme. If you can live with that go for it.
Gingerbread till I see a significant update to current ICS roms.
can we get a list of FULLY working stable roms together?
probably gonna be GB only roms but thats ok.. ive been struggling to find a single STABLE rom even CM7 "stable" keeps restarting..
Look at dev sections a lot of stable ROMs there

I use Cyangenmod 7.2 downloaded from the cyanogenmod website. I use it everyday and works perfectly
CM7 is the most stable and it is still being developed, albeit at a very slow pace (check their website for nightlies). All the ICS roms are still in testing and are good enough for daily use so long as you can deal with some minor bugs here and there. I'm using Evervolv ICS and it's good enough for me, though CM7 is noticably faster.
Evervolv ICS (last not official build with some new commits) is the most stable rom for me!
I prefer JB 4.1.1 evervolv @reider123

Hello
Ive come from Mimicry (4.0) which is pretty good but I want to enjoy those new JB features. For stable reasons, which would you go with: 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2? And what ROM?
Thank you

Yes just builds at the moment. But over the past 2 months a lot of the JB builds have gotten to the point where they can be used for daily roms now. Not many 4.0+ stable final builds, mimicry 4.0 is the only one that comes to mind.
BTW, Im having trouble finding the official GAPPS for 4.2.2
Where are they?

Just red this in the thread of flinnys CM 10.1 ROM: there is a link on his website, just poke around a little and you'll find it...sry can't link you there cus atm I'm at my grandma's with ****ty mobile internet :/
And not to get off topic: I use my vision now as a facebook phone with not google account and nothing else but fb-app, dropbox and the spoofing ROM from ghul (CM 10.1)
But before I changed the daily phone device I had dabsa prime v12 and it was the best sense ROMiever had on the vision

Nothing on his site.
There is literally a thread like this popping up EVERY WEEK. Read my post here, and give some ROMs a go.
And it's blatantly obvious that 4.0 is going to be more stable than 4.1 because there are STABLE releases, and 4.1 is going to be more stable than 4.2 because there have been well over 100 test builds of 4.1 whereas 4.2 is up to about 10 - 15 depending on which one you go for.
To reiterate:
For stability = 4.0
For uptodatedness = 4.2
I wouldn't go with 4.1, it's pretty much in limbo at the moment if you apply my above logic.

I think I used these: donandroid.com/gapps (sorry no linking till 10 posts)
Jb-20121212 are the ones to use
i like sense4.1,don't like JB UI
I THINK
4.2 AOSP Build 9. Look no further for stability, snappiness as that of near stock Gingerbread CM9.
I'm also using the AOSP 4.2.2 from Fyodor but Build 10. Just about to change to the Jelly Baby v1.1.0 just to give it a try but the Build 10 is THE fastest and snappiest rom I've ever used so far. Battery life is roughly 2 days and multitasking is just flying even without Supercharger.
Just give it a try!
Cheers
I've switched to Gen.Y VisionX R3 running ICS 4.0.3 and found it painfully slow after CM7.2 latest nightly. But the looks and feel much better than CM7 of couse. Which I had a ROM as fast as CM7 and at least half as good looking as Sense roms
AW: What version and ROM would you currently put on your Desire Z?
I flashed ASOP 4.2.2 from Fyodor, and it's very fast and there are no issues I found. Will keep it for daily use.

No "Best Rom" Threads please. See Sticky Guide.
Well, my Nexus 10 is in the mail direct from Google! Believe it or not, they were actually the cheapest source for the 16GB model. I not worried about storage space since I have 32GB now on my phone and max out at about 4GB.
At any rate, I am both excited and nervous. I have had a Samsung Nexus phone for about a year and super happy; however I have read horror stories about this tablet (not connecting to WiFi, random reboots, etc.). So, where should I start?
If anyone can give me a bullet point list of the best ROM, kernel, GApps, etc I'd appreciate it!!
AOKP and Pa are the best ROMs for me, combined with trinity 10 or Kt kernel
This is by far the best tablet I have owned.

Great! I was hoping to hear AOKP. That's what I use on my phone so it will be nice to have on the tablet too.
Official downloads from AOKP.co website or do you have a favorite unofficial version from here?
There are several aokp builds. The normal one a couple pub ones which are great and the one I use from ktoonsez and task650 so you have choices for your choices

This is our first tablet so I got a 3yr warranty with full accident coverage from Squaretrade. They issue you a check for your original purchase price if you break it anytime in that 3yrs.
anyway - TX3L or TX3G version of Trinity kernel?
Look farther in the thread. There is a tx4g that you want to use

Every phone I have had that has both an available AOKP and CM rom always wins hands-down when running AOKP. I'll keep flashing a CM10 rom every 2 or three months to see if they have improved, but within a day I am back on AOKP. Will stick with it until I see CM catch up and surpass AOKP. Thanks everyone! It arrives tomorrow...almost called in sick (ha, not).

I thought aokp was based off cm10?
I personally use sentinel ROM. It doesn't have all the aokp features and it uses the crappy new ui BUT it seems to be the most stable especially since I use my tablet and ps3 controller to play games all day. If anyone has a better ROM to try I'm open to suggestions

I understand your concern, I was the same before I bought mine not too long ago, but I had to have it. And to be honest I was very pleasantly surprized I was only on stock for a week or so, but I dont think I ever experienced a random reboot, and I don't have any issues at all with the screen or WiFi.
I've tried a few ROMs and kernels like CyanogenMod and Paranoid, but right now I'm running AOKP Project Unicorn Butter from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095222 , but it looks like you're already familiar with AOKP It has been the smoothest, snappiest ROM so far, and if you run it with the KTManta kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015874 , its the best android experience you'll have ever had. I know it's mine.
Thank you everyone - Last question: What's all the buzz about "Aroma"? What exactly is it? Is it worth flashing?
Aroma is just an installer. It comes up when you flash certain ROMs etc. Allows you to install several things right there before booting add launcher/apps/etc

Then additionally I am not clear on how I choose the different kernals when using a custom rom? I mean not using the Aroma installer. (Is it done the same way as installing a custom kernal to stock, IE same answer as my above question?)

You just flash it in twrp. Same for custom ROMs. Download whichever one you want to use. Flash it. They overwrite any existing kernel. Can't use more than one

Thanks iamikon! I've read where people say to always wipe two caches after something like this, can you/someome clarify that aspet?
-I would guess I do that when I flash a new kernal
-I would guess I dont have to do that if I am flashing a whole new ROM
TIA again...
Do you all recommend twrp? I have been using CWRTouch 6.0.2.3 on my phone since it came out w/o any problems so I flashed the Nexus 10 version to the tablet and it works great. The only thing I am missing is 'wipe battery stats' but everything else is there.
Any reason to use twrp instead?
