Best ICS rom

Which is the best ics rom now available, which have 720p recording, fm radio etc

After trying a couple of them, I am sticking to custom GB ROM (MIUI Mintberry) as stability and "everything works" is more important for me. Every ICS ROM I tried needed some or the other compromise to be made.
But to answer your question, I personally felt one by team ICSSGS was good though they have pulled their latest beta 4 due to issues. You could try DrZmiui if you like the MIUI interface.

MIUI is a very good ICS rom, but Mobile tethering doesnt work.
Anyone else who have this problem?

I am on ICSSGS RC4 . It works like a charm, wifi and usb tethering also.
I am still watching on battery usage, but seems to be as a Ginger Rom

Using Teamhacksungs CM9. But this ROM comes without FM Radio. but the adjustments in that ROM are very good.
ICSSGS supports FM Radio, so maybe you have a look at this one...

They just pulled that ROM down, so must have had some serious errors ;-)
But in general i can also recommend the ICSSGS ROM's. I am still on 3.1 but have no issues

I am on ICSSGS RC4 and it would be the best for my taste. They have to fix some minor issues

They pulled it because some people is having an issue of 3g preference over wifi. Not in my case.

Yep I have already seen. But, luckily, I still have not any trouble with this ROM.
Hope they continue to develop it

well, that question that you asks us is hard to answer because it's different for every user.
Well, I like MIUI a lot so i've recently start using DrZmiui's ROM and it works like a charm. But heard a lot of good news about mintberry, so if you really want to know you've got to compare them and maybe install them all just once to compare.

I tried it today on MB and it worked 2 times out of 5. Switch WIFI on and try and off and try again did it.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned cm9 yet. It works smoothly for me, but like all ICS roms, the lack of ram on the SGS causes minimised apps to occasionally close. That's pretty much the only weakness I see in the rom.

Well I already mentioned that Page 1. For me it works very well so far...
You can modifiy a lot in that rom. More settings will come soon...
Do you know its possible to change the icons in the status bar in ICSSGS rom?

No, ICSSGS is an AOSP meaning "as google intended"

Im on CM9 and its a stable ROM, but there is no fmradio So you can try TEAMICS

does it have the power widget and ad hoc wifi support?
Also, I had earlier tried OneCosmic's build, currently using teamhacksung. So far I like teamhacksung build 15 barring some minor issues. like headphone icon doesn't appear, mic doesn't work, gps icon doesn't appaer in status bar, but it is in power widget, so not major issue. And now I noticed youtube app not playing anything, though browser is able to play.

Are these roms will receive updates to 4.0.4 ? (for nexus it's already out)

I used CM9 build 15, still alot not working and alot of FC's.
Went back to CM7, think they need a little bit more time to get the rom stable.

I am using ICSSGS RC3.1 for past two weeks still now I haven't faced any issues. Its a smooth ICS ROM.
Badly waiting for RC4, which they have pulled due to some serious WIFI/Data issues.

ICSSGS it certainly is.
I fully agree with devav, Team ICSSGS' rom's the best around for now ), even if it's RC3.1 (I'm too waiting for RC4). There you can find working 720p HD video @ 30fps that REALLY works (no stutter), panorama photography, face unlock, fully working hardware acceleration, music player, e-mail, Holo UI with all its eyecandy etc. (~98% of all rom is working).
NOTICE: ICS is a quite new OS which is primarily optimized for modern dual- or even quad-core processors and ~1024Mb RAM. So you have to get yourself an appkiller / any other RAM emptier + auto cache cleaner because of the ICS' memory-hunger. ICS can be a bit laggy when using stock 100/1000 clocks.
I highly recommend an OC with undervolting (to save juice).
My settings are:
GOV: smartass v2
MAX: 1200MHz (UV)
MIN: 400MHz (UV), and my battery lasts for 7-8 hours of moderate usage and my phone being able to run team ICSSGS' rom pretty flawlessly.

[Q] What's your favourite ICS for Nexus One?

I'm curious...what is everyone's ICS distro of choice for the Nexus One?
i.e. BCM / TexasIce / MIUI
No bashing allowed...only critical conversation please!
I'm using BCM as I like to have the Cyanogenmod features.

+1 for BCM9

BCM is running pretty smooth and with good features.

Damn.
That's a lot for BCM.
I'm currently running TexasIce. No problems. Smooth as silk.
What does BCM have over TexasIce? Have they fixed the video camera FC?

CyanogenMod 9 I don't care about the video camera, rarely use(d) it.

Gotcha.
So what does BCM have over TexasIce? I'm in no way trying to poke holes in anybody's preferrence. If anything, I'm looking for a reason to flash BCM here. Is BCM basically just TexasIce with the CM9 toolbox? Is one any more "AOSP"-ish than the other?

As I said, BCM has CyanogenMod 9 over TexasICS. I got really used to CM7, and CM9 is no different (some functionality is still missing though). I tried TexasICS a few times, but I feel like BCM fits my needs more than TexasICS. I don't have anything against TexasICS, and I don't think people should see these 2 ROMs as opponents.

I got you bro, but my question is still pretty unanswered.
To begin with, I'll say that I LOVE the CM team and all their work. The CM ROMs are minimalist, yet customizable, ultimately providing an android experience that's unadulterated by even the slightest carrier modifications. Plus it's tailored for the power user.
I know this, but that's not quite what I'm looking for in the answer.
I'm simply wondering, besides being associated with the cyanogenmod team, is BCM more stable/closer to being a complete, bugless AOSP distribution of ICS than TexasIce?
I gather that they have not fixed the video camera FC- something that's not a big deal to me.
For example, this is the list taken directly from the TexasIce thread of things that are NOT working:
Gapps might not work properly (search the thread for fixes before posting issues)
USB: MTP / PTP / Tethering
wifi ad-hoc (might work)
Builtin alarm clock app doesn't work 100% of the time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*Anything in blue doesn't really bother me...and the gapps issue is an old wive's tale
I'm curious about whether the stock alarm clock app is buggy in BCM as well, though.
While it's not on the list, an FC when hitting 'record' in the stock video camera app is the only other major issue. Apparently this is due to having to fix something with the stagefright video encoder
What I'm wondering is- Has BCM fixed ANY of these things as of right now? Or are both ROMs on the 'same page'?

The Gapps that I installed with BCM are all working 100%. Never had any FC or freeze. The USB issues I wouldn't know because I never use it for anything other than ADB/Fastboot. Wifi idem dito. Alarm clock is working 100% for me, never missed any early class. I don't believe I've read anything about the alarm clock not working in the BCM thread
Also, I believe BCM doesn't have the Screen of Death which some TexasICS users are experiencing. But it's the same with every ROM: it can work perfectly on one Nexus One, while it sucks on the other.

Awesome bro that's what I'm looking for.
Ultimately, I've got no real allegiance to one brand or the other. As I said, I love the CM team and what they do. I'm all about results though, and if they're a bit behind TexasIce than I'm not interested.
By the sound of it, though, this isn't the case. I appreciate your input man.
Just flashed TexasIce ICS yesterday, but it looks like I might be flashing BCM today.
Thanks again for the info bro.

Just wait a few hours and somebody else would recommend TexasICS
Please let us know what you think after you've installed BCM!

Yeah, likewise, I haven't tried TexasIce, but the known problems listed as being present in TexasIce (aside from video recording), are non-issue in BCM.
One thing I did discover though - if you take TexasIce's latest Kernel (he posted it in a thread) and put that in BCM, BCM becomes just as fast (or faster) than Cyanogen Mod 7! No hindrance on battery life either. I was in shock - a full speed / slick / stable ICS on Nexus One...now if the video recording / camera scanning features were enabled, this would be 100% fully operational.

I have used both.
Both are equally good and stable but I was on Bcm at the end for a while before I switched to sensation xe.
I preferred bcm due to no SoD issues(drewis kernel solved it later on also) , ease of install and configuration also I was having 3-5 random restarts on tesaxice but seldomly had on bcm, once a week if any.

Really quickly, I know BCM is ported from the HTC Desire/Bravo CM9. Now, I know the Desire and the N1 are almost identical, the only differences being the N1's trackball and capacitive buttons (as far as I know).
So, question: Does the N1 port of the Desire's CM9 distribution have all the N1's hardware working correctly? Trackball wake and notifications? Any/everything else?
Ultimately, even though it's a port, is BCM being developed with the N1 in mind?
Thanks for the info fellas.

+1 BCM with Drew Kernel

Yeah it does. Plus if you want to customize anything, you can install Lightflow to do so.

tried them both, but always preferred bcm.

LG Optimus 2x p990 with ICS

Hello everyone,
Just a quick question. Maybe someone tried all of our beloved ICS roms and kernels? If yes, could you please share your experience with them? I would be grateful! Testing requires tons of time .. which i do not have much.
Currently on CM9 Owain 79 build with Jarvis v7 kernel with apex launcher, OC 14** mhz. Well battery life is enough for me, actually is great (3days of light usage), just feeling some latency. Any tips (don't use that, use that, etc..)?
P.s. I know all the builds are great and all the combos are great for someone and for someone not, because of ridiculous angle of different p990 region devices. Just share your experience if you have tried and find something great! Thank you!

First of all, since hardware acceleration isn't present as well as the other drivers for ICS on our phone, you won't get it as fluid as Gingerbread was.
What you can do however is to test Owain's rom without Jarvis kernel as i've noticed that the Jarves kernel doesn't get rid of any UI lag at all.
Secondly, if what LG's facebook page says is true, we'll get an official ICS build somewhere in Q3 meaning pretty soon.. Now i know LG hasn't kept it's word before... but hey if this is true, your problem will be solved soon enough.
If you really want your phone to be nearly lag free, i'd suggest switching back to CM7-based ROMs for a while.

I tried nova hd. Perfectly developed I think. It has very few bugs and incredibly fast. Try it with lightning speed kernel.

I tried EaglesBlood AOSP - so far its very smooth too but then i missed some settings from CM and went over to paranoid+Jarvis 7.

Currently running xxMrHyde unofficial build with nova kernel 1.0.7 and it's doing great.. though battery drains much faster compared to cm7..

Running MIUIv4 (bihariel's build). MIUI has simply stunning looks and its theming engine (and available themes) are simply awesome.
Be advised, you need to sacrifice a bit of performance a functionality on MIUI over other ICS builds like CM9, only for its looks, but i love it so much that for me, its worth it

will the official ICS version have hardware gpu acceleration? or we will never see ics with hardware gpu acc on our phone?

I also running v4 MIUI by bihariel. I agree that the management issues is something exceptional. But I must say that I have tried many roms and gb ics and have not found a difference in performance or slow as you say. Using another launcher, so MIUI home which is very heavy and a couple of kill app to lighten the ram, perhaps because of this.
However, all the rom try this is extraordinary.

Not sure about the big differences in roms, but if you want a smooth CM9 launcher, I recommend LG UI 3.0! smoother than samsung touchwiz home, nova, trebuchet. Not had anything smoother since then.

LG 3.0 IU tried rom NOVA HD and it seemed a little heavy, maybe on this rom. Instead I am comfortable with Xperia launcher 0.9.1b + widgets and icons support. I also used on other rom, stable and lightweight.

Well, the launcher along with its customizability (icons etc) is one if the main reasons to choose MIUI over cm, so changing that would ruin all the fun

[KERNEL] HorsePower 2x, [ROM] PARANOIDNANDROID v1.5

Hello all together,
I have a short question and I hope my school-english will be enough so you can understand.
My O2X was suffering from some strange battery-drain-issue while using the latest CM7 nightly. Because of that I flashed to the latest version of the "PARANOIDANDROID v1.5 [Build 2]"-ROM. Now I am experiencing some strange problem:
1. My phone seems to do a short "break" before it opens up any app. That means, I tap on the icon and for approx. 1-2 seconds, there is nothing happening. Then the app starts. Is this normal?
2. When playing a game ( e.g. Defender II ), it runs very very smooth for the first few minutes but then it starts to stutter around so bad that it becomes unplayable... seems like a RAM-related problem to me?
When I came from CM7, I did a full wipe and restored no apps. I am using the BB 725 with the V20f-RIL and my service provider is Congstar ( D1 ).
I first tried the latest Harsh-Kernel and then switched to the latest Nova-Kernel-Pure-Edition, but that did not lead to any success concerning my problem.
I also tried several settings like zRAM, Kernel Samepage etc. but also no success here.
Apart from this, the ROM is running awesome, very smooth scrolling, hilarious battery life, everything fine. But those two problems are really annoying me.
I would be so grateful if you could help me. Thanks very much in advance!
Greetings!

Please do a full wipe, including /system, then reflash and first try it with the stock kernel.

Incredible S slow with Android 4/ICS

Hi!
I recently updated my IS to the newest Android 4 and god, it's slow. There is lag everywhere, I click on a icon and it takes like a second for screen to appear. The previous version was much smoother.
I disabled the animations and it seems to helped a bit, is there anything else I can do? Or just revert to the older version?
Anybody else experiencing the same problem?
Thanks

Thats a known problem with stock ICS
If you flash a custom rom, generally they are faster
for example I had Ice Cold for a few months, rock solid and super fast

I bought my incredible more than one year ago and I've never thought to unlock and go with custom rom until i got the last OTA. I was so disappointed i flashed Nik's project x almost the same day. You should really consider trying a custom rom. If you like stock appearance you could try android revolution HD i bet it will perform way better than stock ics
Inviato dal mio Incredible S con Tapatalk 2

Thanks for your confirmations!
I'll try a custom ROM then.
As for the appearance I use a custom homepage anyway.

After using CM7 for a while, which was great, I upgraded to IceCold 8.1.1. I found it slow and laggy. Then I updated to Official Stock ICS. Same. I updated the radio to the '11' version. Still the same. Now I am using Ice Cold 8.3. Still the same. I did full wipe, and restored apps with Titanium.
I am very frustrated. I want ICS, but I am thinking of going back to CM7.2. I should be happy with IceCold, but I'm not. Slow, laggy, and lots of 'not responding' messages. Facebook app is the worst - almost unusable.
Any ideas anyone? I have:
IceColdSandwich 8.3 Rossi
4EXT Recovery
Blackrose 2.02 S-OFF

Ice cold is not laggy for me at all
How long have you let the ROM settle before deeming it laggy?
What clock speed for CPU? And maybe try go to recovery and clear both cache an dalvik cache, and make sure to do that after every rom flash if you don't already
Just that most of us are having a smooth nearly flawless ICS experience, hard to think only you are having problems

@jcr67: It's funny how mine is the other way round. I mean I didn't use the stock ROM (or whatever it is called) and installed CM 7.2 as soon as I got my phone because I didn't like the stock UI at all and I had seen CM 7.2 running on DHD with my cousin so I was kinda impressed. I kept using it until I visited my cousin and comparing both the phones (play store, I had a topic on that) was just awful. My play store searching, loading, agreement would take ages. I had been trying lots of ROMs until I came across Ice cream sandwich ROMs and the speeds were great (Virtuous Vivo) but it was the stock UI again which got me bored. I, yesterday, came across a topic by Nathan about Incredible S ROMs and battery life and after reading each and every post, I knew IceColdSandwich is my next ROM or I am selling this ****. Then and now, this is the best ROM I tried till now. No lag, great UI (after theme installation that was in the topic itself, it's become even greater). The only problem I am having is with my battery life. I had this on other ROMs too. So all I can say is that I am more than just satisfied with this ROM.
Try reinstalling the ROM by after running the SuperWipe script (inside the Android Revolution HD ROM topic.)
Sorry for the long post.

Ignore my earlier comments, re IceCold.
I always clear dalvik, wipe etc, when installing. But I repeated this anyway, just to make sure. I let it settle down. It got better. And better. And now I have V6 supercharged it.
It's pretty great now.
Except for the battery life. I'm getting not much more than half a day, without doing much.

Usually I ensure that the following are disabled unless I really want them:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- Vibration (keyboard)
- keyboard tones
- USB debugging
Optional: Automatic brightness turned off and set brightness to comfortable level
If you are overclocking it try to use it at usual clock speed. Overclocking consumes more battery.

I started to use custom ROM after upgrade to ICS. Laggy, even.the apps & notification drawer also laggy.

for me the latest ota ics upgrade is quite good, just sometimes i can feel that things just dun get smooth enough, made my mind and tried few custom roms. Most of them are just really gud in term of performances and looks. Now im gud to go with ice cold rom, much better than official rom of course, and on the battery issue, just make sure u turn off anything u dun need when u dun need them

I find ARHD 3.0.1 with V6 Supercharger script properly installed (no KickAssKernelizer cos I want to wait for a custom kernel) and ultrasmooth rosie.apk to be a fairly smooth running experience.
Tip:
I've improved battery life and reduced common running temperature and hence increased performance/stability/speed by simply running GSM only instead of GSM/HSPA unless I'm in a good signal zone and want to browse data quickly. (I'm talking 2G/3G switching in the mobile network settings.. may not be labelled gsm/hspa in some ROMs). This is a good bet, especially when indoors. I live in a basement so signal drops are more steep for the higher frequency 3G signal.
This should be true for any ROM. Anywhere your data browsing is slow to heart-rendingly unusable.. should definitely save battery, reduce temp, and improve text and call reception to switch to GSM only!

OK, I have a simple question: Is any ICS custom ROM as fast as the Gingerbread stock ROM? OR do I need to find a way do downgrade to Gingerbread? Which will be a pain in the bottom parts...

I find project X to be really quick and doesn't seem to struggle with multiple apps running I.e spotify, Facebook and chrome.
Easy to flash too!

We Want ICS
For 'We Want CS' I still can see lag when open apps drawer & pull down notification. Anyway, its still better than OTA update.

Thats a known problem with stock ICS
If you flash a custom rom, generally they are faster
for example I had Ice Cold for a few months, rock solid and super fast

[Q] Incredible S JellyBean Roms Comparison

There have now been severel JellyBean ROMS released for the HTC Incredible S.
I was hoping that I could get some opinion on how well each one is working.
So far i have found the following ROMS:
Codename Android and JellyBean Evolution by Nic
There is a comparison of them here.
The thread pretty much outlines that they are smooth bountiful ROMS which they are. They work really well, however, I have noticed some extra things wrong with them other then the outlined ones:
-Loudspeaker does not work and breaks the mic for the call.
-Sometimes the text on the homescreen becomes blurred, you have to lock the screen for a while to get that to go away.
-The full screen videos crash the phone, the fix doesn't work on my phone.
The next ROM i have seen is the CyanVivo X mod. I haven't tried this one but it seems like it has all the same problems. Front camera doesn't work. Full screen vids etc.
There is one that has been released recently:
It is an unofficial CM release:
It seems to have solved all of the problems with the ROM, the front camera works, it seems like it is quick, the only thing it doesnt handle is video camera. Can anyone tell me about problems with this ROM.
I was hoping to make a good Thread which compares each of these ROMs and which ones are the best?

The first two are just ROMs to say you have JB on your phone, both are buggy but some people can live with this and use them daily. These were the first JB ROMs, the same Dev got them running then support stopped.
CV10 is the breakthrough JB ROM, Dev working on it and the ROM has potential. More stable than the first two ROMs as Dev focusing on the kernel, currently still got a couple of bugs which some people can live with to be able to use the ROM daily. Keep an eye on this thread for development progress and regular feedback.
CM10 has a ninja for a Dev, works in the background and appears absent from the forum. Then ROM appears. The ROM currently seems to be the most stable/complete JB ROM and has least bugs. Many people using this as a daily use ROM. But is the Dev still working on it to perfect it, how long until the next update... nobody knows!
I tried this ROM, battery life seemed short, I struggled to get a days normal use from one charge. Plus I wanted my video camera to be working so I can film my young kids when I needed to. Back on ICS/sense ROM now.
These are just my own crude opinions.

there is a paranoid android JB ROM by Nikhil: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863862
I had used the ones you have listed below as well as the paranoid android ROM.. i found the paranoid to be less buggy...give it a shot.. it is a very different visual experience.. the rom is based on CM9.. you will have some minor issues:
1. front camera won't work
2. Adjusting in call volume resets the ringtone volume
3. Google now may not work..
4. tablet mode won't have an option to enable USB connectivity...
...
Give it a try; apart from the above issues, it is a very stable ROM; i was on it for about 6 months with no issues..
1. It is a different experience altogether - not many tweaks is what I found but a visual delight
2. google now issue will be resolved after you flash the "4.1 to 4.2" package; it will also introduce photosphere: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991734

From reading the thread on the paranoid android it looks like it has more bugs then the Unofficial CM ROM. Things including permenant sleep and crashing with full screen video, which i experienced with the original ROMS from Nik.
The only problems I have with the Unofficial ROM is that the battery drains quite quickly (About 10Hrs on Battery with Juice Defender Pro), it can be a bit Laggy at times which i didn't experience with Niks ROMS and sometimes it doesn't quite wake up properly, (The button lights come on but you have to wait a bit for the screen)

Hi,
My experience with the ROM was different.. yes is an issue with the full screen video but the thread mentions the solution.. I did not have any issues with phone not-able-to-sleep... the battery was also good - it used to last atleast a day with good usage on calls...
With tools like 'Easy Battery Saver' it even touched 2 days with normal usage..
I was on the ROM for six months with no issues.. also i did not use the default launcher bundled with the ROM; I had installed APEX launcher rather..

Try turning off network based location in gps settings and rebooting the phone. it's a known bug with cm. :/

Are you only looking at CM/AOSP/AOKP roms?
I really don't think any are ready for daily use. Every one I used I thought was okay, then I needed to use the camera or some setting and it would crash. I'm going to wait for szezso to make a fully working kernel.
I think I'm going to test lacoste right now though... I'll tell you what I think.

I've been using dla5244's Unofficial CM10 for more than a week now. It's definitely a daily driver. With v2, even camcorder works wonderfully. I believe the v2 kernel is full featured and I can find no bugs at all so far.

If u want a stable n fast JB rom then u should try Lacoste 4.1.2... Its fast, smooth, battery backup is awsm, sweep2wake enabled kernel, n most imp its almost bugless...so give a try......

Lacoste is just another version of unofficial.. For me i prefer unofficial because dla did all the work, but in lacoste, it is just a couple of tweaks based on dlas rom..

I tried CyanVivo X, and it was awesome, except neither WiFi nor Bluetooth would turn on. I'll give the unofficial CM10 ROM a try!

I've been using Unofficial CM10 since it was released and scrolling is as smooth as it should be.
What CPU governor are you using? I once switched to Interactive with some bad tweaks which resulted in something like you're experiencing now. After switching to ondemand/smartassv2 everything is fine now.

Actually I read your previous thread about battery life so I tried it myself. Maybe I screw something up.
