Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

ICS PASSION.
Stable fast GPS works and its 4.0.3

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...

Hi All,
I'm new to modding my phone and recently flashed it with Cyanogenmod Froyo 2.2.
I want to flash it with Gingerbread but have seen that there are memory leak problems with Cyanogens.. In fact today they ave decided to pull support for the device.
What are my options for getting Gingerbread onto my Hero GSM??
I have seen Elelinux's mod highly spoke of, but it is based on Cyanogen mod (i think). Does it too have the same memory leaks??
Thanks in advance!
Cyanmod have Officially Ceased supporting the HTC HERO as they don't have a DEV supporting the Developement for the HERO
THE LAST Cyanmod for HERO is I Guess version 7.02 and thats it
Elelinux's Gingerbread is Based on the CM7 but He does his own tweaks as well you can always check the thread for what problems people are reporting for the ROM
There is another GIngerbread ROM by 'Cronos' which you could try, but you will have to google for it as I don't think I might get away with posting links here
google for 'cronos project'
I have used elelinux's Roms a lot so like his work but is personal choice and thats what XDA offers it members 'CHOICE'
Don't make assumptions about ROMS .
Try them yourself and stick to the one you like the best
in his latest version (2.0), elelinux included a special patch that has to be flashed separately after flashing the ROM, and on my Hero it reduced the amount of black screens and invisible menus by a great deal. They still show up every now and then, but only when doing memory-intensive stuff. Go check out the thread
Haven't tried Cronos yet, but they also get some good credit I believe.
I've had my streak since launch which is pretty much a year now and I've been looking to take the plunge and smack a nice custom ROM on my streak.
Of course I want gingerbread etc but my problem is that there seems to be a distinct lack of Custom ROMs being finished.
It used to be the case on a phone that there would be great stable ROMs with incremental updates to fix little annoyances here and there, but all of these custom ROMs have massive flaws and there's so many of them being pumped out e.g "streakdroid" which is over version 2 now and still has major problems?
Can someone please point me in the direction of a nice stable custom rom?
thanks
there's only two gingerbread roms
i dont know which is most stable as i dont use either

The most stable Gingerbread ROM for the Streak is Streakdroid 2.3. It's still not stable, though, because Dell never released any firmware other than an Alpha release of Kernel code for 2.3. They have since discontinued the device which means there are only a handful of devs left here to finish an entire ROM, not just make it better.
If you want a totally stable release you're going to have to go with a 2.2 ROM, and they still aren't totally stable. Try StreakDroid 1.9.1 or SimpleStreak 1.2 (Not really a custom ROM, more of just a parred down version of stock ROM)
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to Q&A
the most recommended rom is froyo stock
SimpleStreak then install what you want.
Didn't think it was worthy of starting a new thread.
What is the most stable 2.2 or 2.3 ROM right now.
I don't need anything fancy. Just want something that is debloated and quick and stable. Needs to be at least 2.2.
New to Streak 5, just trying to help out my Mom with a phone for her.
Edit, n/m. I broke the Streak due to the stupid battery cover/reboot issue. Bought a Samsung Infuse instead. Will put the Streak on eBay in as-is condition noting what happened.
I've tried just about every custom Rom out there and handsdown DSC is the most stable rom i've used so far, Miui was good but the battery life just killed it for me.
DSC
DSC 1.0v \m/is the most stable among StreakDroid5-2.0 slow in my streak, miui restart often, Longhorn 2.5 FCing.
Hello my friends,
i'm using the neutrino ROM in my atrix phone but I need a more stable ROM. A ROM with 100% of functionality or near that.
Which ROM you consider the most stable at this moment ?
Thanks for the attention
I use a variety of roms from the MIUI port to CM7 and all the way back around to Darkside and i have to say that Darkside is your best bet for a Blur rom if you want, it not i have found the CM7 ICS Final to be a stable CM7rom.

thanks for your reply. So, for you the ROM based on darkside is the best ROM (stable) at this moment. Do you tested the Neutrino ROM ?
thanks for the attention.
I think you have to better clarify what you mean by stable. You also allude to functionality which aren't entirely the same. To many, CM7 is stable, but if you're looking for BLUR functions, CM7 wont have that.
What functions/features are you looking for/must have and/or what are you missing?
I need use the Dock, HDMI output, video conference and support to other languages. I'm using Neutrino GT ROM. That's awesome ROM, with awesomes features but, for example, I having issues with simples functions as chosing other languages. I receive keyboard error and i cant find solution for that. That's is just example of issues.
Did you test this ROM ?
thanks for the attention
hi guys,
I hope somebody here could help me - I'm looking for the most stable ROM + Gapps for my old baseband P500. I really use it for work, so I cant afford to have it crash. I already have it rooted and installed recovery just yesterday from ROM Manager.
I installed a few different ROMs, but they are not stable. I have heard of other ROMs like PerfectPeso, etc. but it seems either the dev has quit or it has gone new baseband only. On facebook, I read about some people talking about CosmicExperia 3.5.. but not sure about that. I would have preferred gingerbread based ROMs, but hey... beggars cant be choosers.
On top of that, mediafire is no longer working, so I have even fewer working links now.
If you guys have some recommendations, could you please, please point me to download links as well ?
Mik's CM7.....Stable!

For Old BB use mik's 6.5.8 ROM (Most stable)
[SOLVED] The best "STABLE" ROMs for LG Optimus One (GB and ICS) [Constantly Updated]
FIRST OF ALL A SWEET NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS. THIS THREAD IS NOT MEANT FOR FINDING THE BEST ROM OR WHATEVER IN XDA. BECAUSE, THE CHOICE OF ROM IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON THE USER AND SO, THIS TITLE IS USELESS.
THROUGH THIS THREAD, WHAT I MEAN IS TO HELP THE NOVICE USER IN FINDING A STABLE ROM WHICH CAN BE FLASHED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS PHONE
Hi everyone. From these forums, I can find that most of the noobs are finding problems finding a good user customized ROM for our beloved LG Optimus One.
I have tested all (Yes I mean it) the ROMs from XDA, and found only a few stable ones. Hereby I will be listing those ROMs (Stable ones of Gingerbread and ICS only) with bugs if any. All the noobs will be able to find the most stable ROMs in the first few posts over here, as the posts are constantly updated.
Currently the most stable ROMs for our LG Optimus one (ACCORDING TO MY OPINION) are listed below
Guys, please feel free to point out any bugs you have found out in these roms.
If you have come across any roms offering better stability, please share that too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gingerbread Version (old Baseband)
Guys, just after rooting your phone and installing the custom recovery, you guys can readily try these ROMs. Nothing more to do . These ROMs will make your phone fly
Noejn's void. #forever (Completely Stripped off Gingerbread ROM, Superfast, Addons available) STABLE
mik_os' CyanogenMod 7.1.0 (Android 2.3.7) (The first and the best CM7 port) STABLE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gingerbread Version (New Baseband & Cyanogenmod Nightly Based)
Please note, Do not try these ROMs at any cost without updating your phone's baseband
adfad666' CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0 Nightlies (Original Cyanogen 7.2 ported over to P500, Nothing stripped. So heavy for the phone)
eeee616' NightlyFourE
Having some minor bugs, but faster than Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 because of preinstalled scripts
popdog123, Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 (Usb tethering bug, 2g to 3g switching bug)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ICS Versions:
All ROMS listed in this Section are based on New baseband. Do not flash these ROMs without updating the baseband 1st
lupohirp, Cyanogenmod 9 (Android 4.0.3) Not stable so far, but very limited bugs
popdog123, Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 (Best Gingerbread ROM)..............
That's your opinion mate.
CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC0 Nightlies are the best for me.
You shouldn't write "This is the best GB ROM, this is the best ICS ROM".
Give people the best options so they can choose for themselves.
Putting old and outdated ROMs in the list, like Void Forever and Mik's CM7 is not going to help in anyway the newcomers.
Likelihood of the different roms is entirely dependent on the users. Some like cm7, some like cm9, some like oxygen. It depends on what a particular user need. A user cannot satisfy unless he has tried all the roms posted in this section.
Current Oxygen ROM has still problems reconnecting data when switching from 3G to 2G so I won't write "no bugs at all"
outdated

mik's cm7 rom is the best rom for someone who has the old baseband and doesnt want to risk bricking their phone with kdz or lgdmp
so it still is useful
Regarding popdogs123's Oxygen ROM
"This ROM is now for new baseband only (as of v2.2)"
Do not discount the stock ROMs...I have V20i (graciously uploaded in the forums by yuripg1 as a zip) and have ZERO complains.
I would actually recommend it to any newbie that is looking for stability and does not need too many bells and whistles (other than OC and some tweaks).
My 2 cents

There never ever been any stock ROM, better than custom ( especially on O1). Believe me
You should try one

Wanna kick me out?
In the end, I value stability over features. I think a good kernel is what most people ever need.
I believe you that modded ROMs are "better" (define the notion) but if I get crashes in the middle of a call I'll reconsider using that ROM/kernel.
I'm not conservative, I just hate to wake up in the morning and see my phone has crashed (happened twice while I was testing franco#4) and I missed calls.
No one has the right to decide which ROM is the best...
U might like something i wont...
Also, such rankings and segmentations can discourage a developer...
Each developer works hard to provide us the best, its upto ourselves to decide whats best...
Hope you get my point..
Good luck!

Nice but still i don't find any significance to this thread.
Next, in mik_os's CyanogenMod 7.1.0, not just add the first stable gingerbread rom but also "The first and the best CM7 port"
You are running nightlies today because of mik_os, almost half of the P500 git is filled with mik's patches and even Adfad666's roms like A8, N2 are the continuation of Mik_os's sources
popdog123's Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 is now only for new baseband
please do the corrections accordingly
Lewa is a really good ROM. I find it stable enough for day to day use.

I thing this thread should be deleted, or changed as "stable ROMs in my opinion". Some of those ROMs still have issues, which can be consider as major ones for the people who need the features not working properly.
why you guys don't make a poll? we are really interested in finding a stable custom ROM for a daily use. for example now i use NightlyFourE and i'm pretty disappointed because that SD auto-scanning for media content doesn't work! and it's killing me inside because i cannot listen music or watch movies. i've tried to fix the problem(like rebooting, reflashing the ROM) but nothing worked. now, i have to find another ROM much stable and with less bugs. cheers!
Try Oxygen, #void forever or Bytecode's OpenOptimus.
Oxygen has a data bug, I know, but otherwise is a great ROM.

problem solved! apparently there was something inside SD card. some kind of virus or i don't know. Rom is absolutely fine now i'm upgrading at 4.6(NightlyFourE) cheers!
