Why do you want JB rather than KitKat? Both CM11 and SlimKat are already significantly faster and more stable than CM10 or SlimBean, in my opinion. I've been using SlimKat 4.0 for a couple of months with no major issues. It's not quite as fast as CM7 (due to the increased RAM requirements of KitKat compared to Gingerbread), but it's much faster than any of the Jellybean roms. See my guide here for tips on installing, customizing, and improving the performance of SlimKat and CM11.
try slimkat as mentioned above. That's what i use daily and its stable enough.
OT: But cm 7.2 is still (significantly) faster and More stable than eg slimkat for the daily usage? Is that right? From your experiences...

CM7 is still slightly faster than SlimKat, in some respects. For example, when pressing the power button to wake the screen, on CM7 the screen comes on almost instantly, while on SlimKat there is a 1 second delay. Some apps also start and run slightly faster on CM7, probably because of more available RAM.
On the other hand, SlimKat is slightly faster in other respects. In particular, the wifi speed is significantly faster on SlimKat, at least in my experience.
In terms of stability, it's difficult to say. Both CM7 and SlimKat seem perfectly stable for me; no significant problems whatsoever. However, some users still report having issues with bluetooth, wifi authentication, and telephony layer problems.

Hi
Currently Im on Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 nightly 414 and while OK, the other day it had a HORRIBLE (unbearable) slowdown period. Even multiple restarts didnt help. Finally it seems it fixed itself but Ive looking for something new. I use Go Launcher if that makes any difference. Im into speed but I think Im going to go with stable over speed this time.
What ROM do you recommend? Also nothing broken (automatically discards all CM9 ROMs)
If you are into Sense UI, go for Virtuous ROM, stock ROM tweaked + enhancements. If CM7 works if you are into vanilla ROMs.
I have been using virtuous glite 2.0.1 its stable I had no issues at all and I get great battery life, plus its slightly overclocked. Gslim1.6 is also very good but I had better battery life with glite. Both roms are based on GB 2.3.4. Here is a good rom index thread it lists all G2-Desire Z roms

You cannot say "Sense", "stable" and "speed" in the same sentence.

Yes, Im aware of the list but I wanted user feedback.
(Im not talking to any of you or anyone else Dont take this the wrong way at all as it is not a insult to any of you). Its funny: People ***** (a lot) when their ROMs go bad but when they are great, they dont say anything at all.
WOW G-lite is VERY old...
and i like ROMs with features; stripped down versions are not for me
sound like you will be most happy with elitemod, the cm7 based rom although i have been testing out nik3r's ics rom and like it better than most ics roms, i would go with his gingerbread rom. should be all you are looking for and great support from nik3r as well
Are you looking for a gingerbread or ics rom?

Damn I'm still happily running it! If it works great why worry how old it is. It's a testament to how well it works as it sits. anyways I'm waiting for a stable cyanogen 9. Then maybe, frankly I don't want to mess with it too much I want plain Android and I can customize it from there

I don't think you have tried much of the Sense ROMs back then, or maybe you were doing something wrong. I have had quite a few stable and fast sense ROMs. Of course they were not as fast as vanilla ones, but it works, knowing that you are the type who wants more features in ROMs.

Have you tried a CM9 Rom lately? Don't let the Beta name scare you, I have found the latest andromadus audacity extremely reliable, and everything works. I actually think it has less bugs then my stock htc GB rom.

Same, though I'm still tweaking my SetCPU settings and such, I like EliteMod's ICS rom the most right now particularly in terms of features and responsiveness. I was trying the unofficial CM9beta13 for a couple days and that thing was eating battery like no-body's business. EliteMod seems to be much more tweaked as it's the same setup Nik3r is using for his own personal Desire-Z.
But far as stability goes, I would agree that going with a Ginger rom would be the best bet, ICS right now is still too experimental in my opinion.
I've never tried the CM7 version of EliteMod, only the official CM 7.2.0 which was ok-ish for me. The EliteMod ICS Rom to me feels much faster and responsive than even the stock CM7rom, and I much prefer QuickPix app the EliteMod uses over that slow-arse Gallery app in CM7.
I would recommend andromadus mimicry (ics) its pretty stable and everything works (for me at least). It has the ics specific flaws like scrambled text in app drawer but launcher restart fixes it. Using this rom for 2 weeks and had this text issue 1 time. Battery is good also

You should try Elitemod cm7 it has never failed me, all the features you need, speed and stabiity plus amaizing battery life. If you wanna go ICS get the cm9 elitemod, but it is still a bit buggy.
I tried a lot of roms, and I always came back to ILWT CM7 (not new versions). Sense roms are quite good but not on Desire Z (too small amount of ram memory, multitasking on sense roms are poor - even on sense 2.1 roms with supercharger script). I waiting for stable CM9 (and yes i tried all versions of CM9 but text glitches and manually change apn to send/receives mms, makes me nervous).
That is only my subjective opinion
Anything CM7 based is very stable. Probably the most stable of all. Stay away from CM9 or anything ICS on this phone for another few months in terms of stability.

I can only vouch for my own experiences but I find cm9 very stable, perfect for a daily.

Going to install the Beta14 right now, the ALPHA 1 month ago had a lot of issues... but that was 1 month ago. Will post back...
Try Quadrasense! Not true that rom based on CM9 is not stable....
Quadrasense is very fast and stable
inviato da HTC Desire Z
For most stable overall rom I would recommend the latest ILWT CM7. For most stable ICS rom I would recommend the Andromadus Mimicry rom.
Hello,
I want to ask you just like it's mentioned in the thread title, is CM10 worth to install right now? Are the differences big between CM9 and CM10?
I am currently on CM9 latest nightly from Epsylon. And whose CM10 is better for now? Epsylon's or Quarx's?
Thanks in advance for answering...
Hi there,
Yes the current CM10 is quite stable and very usable.
The biggest attraction to CM10 is how smooth it is over the current CM9 - Installing Apex Launcher makes it even better.
The new features that were introduced as part of JB are all there and functioning .. eg. two finger swipe and Project Butter.
The JB default browser is the best and responsive browser I have ever used .. flick-scrolls through heavy pages effortlessly ..
I am using the Froyo based build right now though I have a Red lens defy.
Personally I couldnt last on CM9 for more than a day before switching back to MIUI ..
but now i'm hooked on the CM10 and even the dev are focussing all their attention on it..
in short -- most definitely worth the Install
About JB - Only basic things are functioning properly. But, if you ask me, i am using it as my daily ROM, as i use my defy as a phone
About ICS - Its almost fully functional, you won't feel like changing ROM after using it.
Thanks a lot guys. Downloading CM10 then...
I will wait a few more weeks so it's more stable. Satisfied with CM9 right now. (I'm always using Quarx' builds, Defy+)
title
i am using it as my daily ROM,it's developing very fast,but not stable as cm9
Yeah, it's not so stable as CM9, and honestly, not so fast. Epsylon's CM9 was really really fast. CM10 is in my opinion something biggest which our phone can't hold on.
After installing all my applications which I am using there is only about 50MB free ram. After one day of using there is even less and phone needs to be restarted because of hard lags in launcher.
I am going back to CM9, differences are not so big. But I'll miss the notification bar.
Hi, to be honest, my Defy+ isn't rooted, but at some point of this year (or next by sure) I will, and I will install a ROM in a really short period, so, i want your recomendation, what ROM should i choose? I don't want any theme or nothing, i'm choosing: CM7, CM9 or CM10, CM10 by that time will be improved, so it's practically CM7 or CM10, it's obvious that CM10 is better (JellyBean, duh ), but from what i heard, it uses a lot of RAM and performance is "Good-Meh" so I don't know if go to CM10 for JellyBean, CM7 for performance and gaming or multiboot both... (Answer me like if I were rooted, I want to do it but... I will see if I hurry me)
Sorry for bad english

I will go for CM 7.2, the last stable build works very smooth, opening apps, scrolling, etc, you must flash a camera fix for this build, replacing the Camera.apk and the overlay.omap3.so.
For sure the CM10 is a attractive choice, but in my opinion isn't more smooth than CM 7.2 yet, you have some features in Jelly Bean like Google Now, and some UI improvements, for example in the notification bar, where you can read messages, call contacts, etc, the called Project Butter, and more, so if you are a smooth paranoic i recommend CM 7.2, if not, give CM 10 a chance!

Thanks for the fast and complete answer, I think I will get CM7 and wait, because i'm in stock ROM, and I sometimes get reboot for bad RAM usage and it's SOOOOO SLOOOOW, so I think I will use CM7 at least for a while, thanks

And i suggest you to use CM 7 with the Launcher Pro, it will change you Android experience totally.
the best rom for daily use is Ms2ginger 4.0 ...... stable , fast , has the best battery back up , high quadrant , 720p and paronama .
After testing several roms on my phone (and friends defys :silly "close stock" roms works better
Thanks :highfive: maybe I will try them three (Ms2ginger, CM7 and CM10) because id I flash one my "fear" of flashing will be gone and that way I can compare, but I think that for stable at least in a period of time will be Cm7 OR Ms2ginger, i will wait for :angel: Master Quarx :angel: to fix a couple of bugs before staying in CM10.
Thread can now be closed
I've been using Quarx's CM10 build on my Defy+ for the past few days and whilst it's extremely stable and relatively fast, the performance is not quite fast enough for everyday use for me. I was considering instead installing CM9 or CM7, but not having installed either of these previously, I was not sure which would be best. I would prefer to go with CM9 if the performance is significantly better than CM10, but if not perhaps CM7 would be a safer choice? Any other suggestions to increase performance on CM10 would be appreciated also.
In my opinion CM10 is way more faster than every cm9 build i used.
so if you want to increase stability and performance, use CM7
CM7
I've used CM10 but my device was running slow, I've installed CM7, never used CM9.
newest CM10 from Quarx is faster than speeding speedy gonzales!
got 3147 points in AnTuTu. CM10 is more responsive, and with right launcher (like nova or apex) works like a charm

Trust me. CM10 is better. CM7 might be a little better, but I think by the next two update, Quarx will make CM10 just as good..
So I suggest you stick with this for a week or two and decide.
I have only one phone and I use defy for everything. I run CM10.
Thank if I was helpful.

Hi, I'm planning to try some KitKat ROM for my Mi2S. What you can recommend? It doesn't needs to be based on MIU, but it must be fast stable and battery safe.
I read good recommendations for MoKees ROM, but I want have more tips from you guys.
Thank you for any tips
Hello, Mokees Rom is a very good rom, with tones of features, but I prefer official CM11 from M1cha. It's not so "heavy" and for me it's ideal for daily use.
Hi, thanks for the tip. I'm currently on the MoKee, but I will probably test also official CM. MoKee is fine, but not so slight as I expected. I must say that old MIUI v5 was better.
Im using omni as daily. Personally I think micha's kernel is better than mokee one. The best thing is test the ROMs you might be interested and choose the best for your needs
I'm just testing latest sMIUI v6. I was fighting with some some settings ther, but finally I fixed most of the issues, so I will probably stay for some time with this ROM. Anyway the performance still to perfect as with MIUI v5.
what about battery usage?
battery usage seems to be fine. cannot say objectively, because my usage differs in last days, but its approx. 1-2 days. i'm still using, wifi, bt, gps, & data
Ihave tried many roms and I have to say that the pacman is so far the best cause is the one with most customizations. Love it.
Not sure how this thread lasted this long but.
