[Q] The most stable rom for new user - HTC Incredible S

Hello
My sister will take over my rooted IncS and would like to know what ROM you think is the most stable? The only requirement i have is at least android 4.0.
Hope u could give me some good advices, i dont have the time to test or read about every rom..
thx

Android Revolution HD, if you are ok with Sense interface. It will be fast and stable.
It doesn't have much custom features which can be found in the other ROMs, but it is a good ROM to start from.
What is important is that this ROM isn't abandoned by its developer, and it keeps being updated.

Almost every Sense ROM. The SENSE ROMs under the OP of the ROM index (in android development section) are all stable enough to be daily drivers

I agree with you: Sense ROMs, especially based on 4.0, are mostly more stable than based on bare Android. However, ARHD was the one where I haven't encountered any blockers (e.g. like a bug with keyboard in numeric input fields in Blackout ROM, though the ROM itself is still lovely).

Thanks for your replies! I think i go for ARHD

Question about Sense 3.0 update.

With the new HTC Sense 3.0 update is the phone still smooth or is it laggy? Is the new update of HTC Sense 3.0 the stablest ROM, for this phone? Will this new official update work better then the custom ROM's we have of Sense 3.0/3.5?

The new release will not be laggy for your device at stock setup with clean install. However upon installing apps and using up internal memory your phone will become laggy over time.
As to your second question no. Official releases will never best a custom room created by a well established dev. The roms released by our devs have all the unnecessary cap removed from the roms and the sloppy coding is all aligned properly to save space and thus giving your phone more internal space and better use of your ram. I would strongly advise you to never go to a stock rom for any reason other than returning to s-on for warranty purposes. All future roms will most likely be created using the stock rom most recently released for this device as a base and greatly improved upon.
I don't even have this device, I have the Incredible 2. I was just wondering of what to expect with the future update for my phone, since both of these phones are basically the same. All the Sense 3.0/3.5 ROMS for my phone have some form of annoying bug, or lag. While the stock Sense 2.1 ROM never lagged for me.

Just wanted to bump this topic, since I never really got a clear answer. Is the Sense 3.0 official ROM smoother then the Sense 2.1 official ROM?

If you have a DInc2, why are you bumping a thread on the IncS forum?
The official Sense 3.0 update has been out for quite some time. IMO it has been just as smooth as Sense 2.1, but to me, smoothness is one of those subjective things. What I consider smooth may not be what you consider smooth. You just need to try it and for yourself and make your own opinion.

Because the official Sense 3.0 just came out for the Dinc2. So before updating I wanted to hear what people had to say here.
To me it wasn't a smooth as I wanted so I had to root and believe me I never regretted it !!!! There are some roms in xda incredible S section Android development that are smooth like butter
Edit: I meant that sense 3 didn't impress me as sense 4.0A did !!!

[Q] What rom?

hello all,
i have recently bought a nexus one and wondering wht i should flash? I like sense but they appearantly are all very slow. I hate miui. I like cm7 but hate its ui. What should i flash?
Sense !
I'm using the lastest sebastiaan's ROM , witha class 10 and it's perfect, the A2SD is AWESOME , no lag in game
If you have a class 10 , install now the seb's ROM , but the dowloading is very long (50 min )
Thanks
PS : you must install 4ext recovery , to use the touch installer !!!!
Depends what you like/use your phone for? I wanted ICS so I went with TexasICS, looks very nice but still has some bugs.
You should wait for stable ICS

The current Cyanogenmod 7.1 is a good choice and fairly stable.

Same here, I hate cm7's ADW stuff they use. Stock gingerbread UI is much better compared to ADW.
You can go with BuglessBeast which is mostly stock gingerbread with few additions like over clocking support.
If you want to stay bleeding edge then install MeDroid or TexasIce ICS ROMs. They both have camera and gallery issues, missing hardware acceleration and calendar sync issue.

In my opinion the GUI is nicer in ICS, but it is not yet stable enough for full time use. I haven't tried games like Angry Birds yet, but I suspect they wouldn't run well, because graphics aren't properly fixed in the port yet.
First of all ROM basically is ur choice how u wanna use ur phone.
As u said that u already used miui, y bothering trying any other ROM? It's fast stable and good looking ...
On the other hand sense ROM is also good but u always have the processing issues unless u have a high class SD card.
Bugles beast is a nice suggestion for u to use gingerbread UI with smooth and minimal usage...
PS: since I've started using miui I've not thought about any other ROM
Sent from my Nexus WON on MIUI ;-)
I've practically tried all the ROMs on here, from MIUI to Sense and I've got a few things to say.
MIUI looks like iOS in many ways, but is VERY themable. There are themes for almost anything.
CM7 (mainly samuaz's build) is a very fast and stable ROM. It basically displays the stock android experience with a minimal UI. Highly themable.
Sense: HTC's firmware now ported to the Nexus One. Features a stunning and hefty UI that takes a lot of resources. I've tried all builds here, but mainly Runny AIO and I have to say that's the best build. I love Sense. It is not really recommended to run Sense if you have a class 2 SD card like I do, but I'll upgrade it for a class 6 one tomorrow.
Ice Cream Sandwich/Cyanogenmod 9. Very hyped, but with all rights to it. ICS and/or CM9 are totally awesome ROMs and well worth trying out, despite their flaws. Even with no real hardware acceleration, they're awesome. Use texasice's version if you want near-stock ICS experience with a pinch of evervolv tweaks and use samuaz's build if you want a Cyanogenmod 9 experience. Sometime this year, we'll get an official CM9 build from the Cyanogenmod team, but texasice and samuaz have done an amazing job with porting ICS to us.
Other AOSP builds. These builds also kind of displays the stock android experience, but with user added features and frameworks. Some are based partly on Cyanogenmod 7 while others are based on something else. Bugless Beast and OxygeN1mod are among the best in this category.
You're free to choose what ROM suits you best, but my vote goes to Runny AIO or any of the two ICS builds.
Cheers.

It doesn't unfortunately. I haven't tried to install DT's A2SD on it because as far as I know the kernel used in Bugless doesn't have ext4 support. I might be wrong though ..

You should try also the Ics MeDroid rom, it's really good, with just few bugs and it's quite smooth.
+1 for MeDroid alpha that's actually very stable
Or CM7.x if you want "stable"

Alternative to Enoms Rom
I am still running Enoms Rom on my N1. This is the most stable and battery effecient Rom I have tried. The problem is that its quite old (Froyo). I was thinking of going to ICS but the stability just isnt there yet. I am thinking of going to Gingerbread instead. Can someone here recommend a good Gingerbread Rom similar to Enoms? I am mainly looking for 720p HTC camera, trackball wake and led notification. Stability and battery life are important as well.

Me either, and i can't see that ever changing. It really is the best of all worlds. It's unbelievably smooth, stable and pretty as hell. Core apps are vast improvements over that which are found in other ROMs.

Which is Best ICS ROM

Hi people, I was checking in the forums that there are already lots of custom ICS roms and I would like to try one, but I would like you to tell me please wich are the best stable, fast ICS roms.
Thanks one more time for your help! :good:

First off. Wrong section. This should be in the Q&A Section.
It's all about preference. Do you wanna stick as close as possible to stock? If yes you can use Divine ROM.
It's fast and has all stock features like FM Radio mixed with loads of customization
Or AOSP ROMS.
IMO The best ones are Paranoid Android, CyanogenMod, Rootbox and my favorite MIUI.
Paranoid has tablet ui in your phone. which is cool
cyanogen is super stable
rootbox is customizable
miui is fast and customizable with a few bugs
This isn't development related.
Also, nobody can answer this question for you. Just nandroid and flash ICS ROMs until you find one you like.

[Q] Which is best ROM?

Guys, just need small help, even though i am going through the threads and forums but will appreciate if someone can suggest me that which is best recovery, kernel and ROM for HTC Desire C. What i have come to know till now is that Revolution Sense 3.1 is better. Need suggestions please?
There is no "best" rom...
You looking for speed? Revolution super stripped
You looking for fluid transitions and a whole new look and feel? Xperialised sense
Looking for full featured, near aosp? Revolutionmod
I wouldn't use any other kernel than Prometheus, try to find a boot img that your device can handle....
And for a recovery you ought to go with twrp
Hit thanks I'd this helped

i prefer the revolution rom's out of all i have tried so far (currently running the revolutionmod ver 5) but the creator of that and a few others on here including myself are working all available free time to get a fully stable Cyanogen rom for the device
once cm is ported and operational keep your eyes peeled for the BlisteringNinjah roms i will be attempting to create XD xOxOxOx
Best Rom
Depends what kind of style you want. ive currently got M!U! which is a port of MIUI and so far its looking good but there others you can look at just go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1989 and look for threads with "ROM"

[Q] What is the fastest (and the best) ROM for Galaxy Ace?

Hi guys,
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2, but it started to become painfully slow and it crashes almost every day. So I'm think about installing another ROM, but to be honest, after reading recent topics with custom ROMs, I really can't decide which one should I download. I would like to have an ICS or higher, but if there is a ROM on 2.3 that is way faster than any ROMs on 4.0 and higher, I can install the Gingerbread.
What are your recommendations? I'm currently interested in modded CyanogenMod 10.1, ImaGinary ICS Final and Touchwiz Revolutionised 5.0.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I get it, but... how should I choose the best one - which is most suitable for me - when people can't express their opinions about different ROMs? Most of the posts in particular ROMs threads are related to some broken stuff etc., so it is hard to find same opinions.

hello, I cant answer your question, I can only give you an idea of ​​what I experienced and read out there. Like all of us, you have to experience, have fun, and make your own evaluation, I begin to suggest you to choose spacecaker's rom , or you can get the stock rom with new kernel, andrenaline engine and Darktremor.
But dont stay with those, try some more a get back to tell us your opinion
Hope I helped

I'm using one of those that you mentioned: modded CyanogenMod 10.1 and then on top of it I installed PurePerformances™X.
I've tried Miracle V4 and M'rage. This setup seems better to me in every way, but that is just my opinion. It also depends if you like CM or stock roms..
