I'm looking for opinions for the best ICS based rom that utilizes all or maybe just the most of the effects. More than any other phone I have played with I love this camera and its stock effects.
I'm new to actually posting, went from Nexus one -> Nexus S -> HTC Rezound Im not a noob but I did Main vers glitch myself FML and I am tired of flashing roms and keeping track of boot imgs. Any help is appreciated!!

All of the ICS Roms are good. The ones I've used are CleanROM ICS, Nils Business ICS, RezROM ICS, Joelz new Sense Redefined. They're all amazing ROMs in their own respect. You want stock 4.0.1 with Sense 3.5, you'll want CleanROM ICS. You want that plus some theme work, you'll want Nils or RezROM ICS. You want 4.0.3 with some Sense 4.0, you'll want Joelz ROM. They're all good. I haven't tried anything else but these, but they're amazing ROMs with the stock camera effects that you're looking for.

I haven't heard of an ICS Rom yet that has camera effects working. Not sure we will until we have a new beta build to play with...
Some of the effects work. Grey scale, negative and some others. I couldn't get the digitizer to work and some other effects.
I have found that you can apply the affects from the gallery with no problem. I don't think the problem will be fixed until we have an official update.

Hey everyone! I'm currently on a Sense rom but I might change to an ICS rom once it becomes more stable. What do you prefer, Sense, or Ice Cream Sandwich?
Well right now all 3 of the roms out are still in an alpha stage, so if you're looking for a complete, finished rom.. stick with Sense 3.5 roms. I'm running JoelZ Alpha4 ICS rom and it's butter smooth and I don't regret flashing it. I'm using it as my daily, ISC is beautiful. Camera, and 4g don't work yet on all of them. And they're each missing something else.
oh ok, so you think ics is better for speed and stability?

When I was on stock my phone was lag-free and smooth, and JoelZ rom replicates that. It doesn't crash on me hardly, really smooth, there's obvious works in progress but overall it's beautiful. Data/sms works, but I can't send/receive pictures and there's a few other glitches. If you can live without camera and 4g go for it.
Sense is also in ICS.

The current 3 current ICS roms are sense roms? I know one of them is built from source code, which doesn't contain Sense. In fact, I don't see a hint of Sense (except the removal of onscreen buttons if that counts).

I have been running JoelZ's ICS Rom and love it. For an Alpha stage ROM, JoelZ has this thing running very nicely and has hardware acceleration working as well. As was mentioned earlier, no Camera, no MMS, no 4g, and a few other items, but if these are not required by you then this is an excellent ICS ROM to try if you have an interest in ICS.
ICS is a huge face-lift for the Android OS in my opinion. I am very pleased with it thus far. If you are the type of person that want a full 100% working ROM, then I would give this a little more time before giving it a try. If you don't mind not having a few of the missing features then I would say have at it. ICS has really impressed me thus far.
Yeah only bad thing about most sense 3.5 roms is missing 3d and 4g which has been said above. I like the Nocturnal Roms especially Blackened 2.5.0. I will stick with them until sense 3,5 ports have the bugs worked out.
If you dont mind living without the camera & 4G get an ICS rom first, try it out and give a test run.
I was wondering what you guys would say the most stable ics rom is??
Ive been using scotts senseless rom and its been ok just a few problems. before that i had his cleanrom but i just cant like sense that much something about it kinda turns me off..
what do you guys think?
ima add one more question to this thread.. Where i live my signal is finicky as it is but im thinking running ics has made my signal drop is this a problem or is it just me trippin out?

I'm running CleanROM 2.3 completely desensed and it's as stable as Gingerbread.
yeah i was thinking about going back to it to many system ui crashes and other lil bugs in the aosp roms is it updated to the 4.0.3 with sense 3.6?
&& how is it desensed?
I really didn't like the battery life on cleanrom 2.x or desensed. I switched to cleanrom 1.6.5 and getting nice battery life.
I found Nils business sense ICS to be the most stable. But the small pluses of ICS didn't make the cut compared to the battery life and ease of use of Gingerbread. Especially once the new wore off. Back to CleanROM 1.6.5 for me too!
All of the ics roms have the same root issues really- that being blue screen flicker, etc. I'm on nils currently cause I like his out of the box notification mods.
Ics rules but I think may go back to gb (until an official) for some issues that are irking me. Vid chat doesn't work on skype, gchat, etc. Can't crop pics or do certain effects in the gallery. Beats eq is not working correctly. Again, most of these are probs that follow all of the ics roms and the devs have done a fantastic job -but I may just end up going back until these talented folks get their hands on an official build. I think they've reached a point where there's not a whole lot left to do with this current build. But like I said, what they've managed to do with this early build is damned amazing.
i flashed back to clean rom and desensed removed everything and so far it seems alot more stables im not getting any word that things are crashing even when making calls like it did before not to shabby i say plus the gallery from the camera i was having that problem in senslessrom
You guys running ICS, can someone confirm whether the folders are the new ICS folders like the Gnex has.
do you mean the folders in the launcher? then yes if you have the stock ics launcher
I'm loving Business-ICS
The skins, overall stability is pretty awesome. The one huge issue is battery life. On stock, I had it to where I could get at average just under 2 days of battery with my extended (2750mah) battery. With this ROM, with almost nothing running, and leaving the screen low-use, and LTE turned off, etc, I still can't get more than 6 hours at BEST on a full charge! Is anyone else seeing this? Do I need to look at flashing to a ziggy kernel or something? Or is it just part of the leaked ICS that the devs have to work from?
I was getting 10 hours on my stock battery running senseless ics rom with a hour of navigation and pandora on pretty much the whole time (lte disabled) +texting+ facebook and what ever else and i was left with more than 25 %
I've been using Scott's senseless since it was launched its an awesome rom but alot of fc's figured I'd try tachi's senseless 4.0 (which is based off one if Scott's roms) with the USB fix and HTC mms fix and runs super stable best senseless ics I've tried so far. Sounds like there are some pretty good rooms on the way though. Feel free to try them all out and find what you like best though.

My personal favorites would have to be by NilsP, lllboredlll, and Scrosler. All are pretty stable roms.
I've been holding out on trying any roms, still on stock. Just the topic I need to follow here

I must echo that Tachi's 4.0 rom is pretty good (with the fixes). I can't wait until we get a fully working AOSP rom. Scott's are good as well (the CleanROM 2.3 is actually a bit better than the Senseless, but... has Sense).

I do get worse battery life on ICS (running cleanrom 2.2sp1), but not that bad, I still get 10-16 hours before swapping extended batteries.

Yes, I'm talking about the launcher. When I had the GNex and I created a folder, it showed the icons stacked on top of each other rather than the plain folder that GB has. So the stock ICS launcher on the Rezound shows the icons like the GNex does? I'm asking because I was worried that Sense would not have that feature.

do not get ics all are unstable and i bricked my phone doing this well my friends extra phone I had to wipe the phone completely clen and starting over. I am downloading all roms tring to find something that works again. but like all post ineffabilis is the only one that comes close to restoreing the phone. I will update later to see if I can restore a dead phone but leave ics only until offical update.
Hey all! I'm on stock 2.01.665 or whatever the latest VZW update is. I notice some lag on my Rezound when I'm rotating through my apps or sometimes dragging the app drawer down. I have a 3D/motion wallpaper installed so that might have something to do with it, but I was wondering if there's any performance gains at all by switching to a custom rom, say RezRom with Sense 4.0. I ask this because I'm under the impression ICS makes use of the phone's GPU better, but I wanted to make sure before I rooted and did everything along those lines. Also, would it be better to simply wait for the official ICS update at this point and THEN root?

I notice significant improvement in ICS "fluidity" of the UI vs. Gingerbread, to say nothing of the performance gains.
If I were you and you are indeed ready to take the plunge, I would start off with a good solid ICS sense 3.6 ROM like Bored's 3.6 ROM, Scott's CleanROM, or the stock rooted ROM as these ROMS are TRUE daily drivers that have most of the bugs worked out. Then from there you can move on and try out a flavour of sense 4.0
Note: if you don't run the RUU to get the ICS firmware, you will need a firmware patch (flashable in recovery) to run ICS roms on GB firmware
I was given a Verizon HTC 4G Thunderbolt today. My wifes old Fascinate was on the verge of dying, so it was perfect timing. I got her all setup with her apps/contacts and she started learning how to use her new phone..... but now that she's sleeping I figured I would "enhance" her new phone and maybe learn a little something in the meantime. If I don't manage to turn it into a paperweight
I've never flashed a ROM before, but I've rooted many phones. I managed to get this one rooted and have downloaded a few roms (haven't flashed them yet), but after going through the different options it seems like you are always sacrificing something with a rom, is this normal?
I found that one rom where the wifi didn't work (this is a must for my wifes limited data plan), I found another rom where the camera didn't work (We have 3 kids and her phone is basically her camera), I found another one where 4G wasn't supported (she's going from a 3G to a 4G phone, I want her to use that feature).
Anyway, it just seems like each one has something that doesn't work...Is this normal or did I just happen to click on the ones that have issues?

Which ROMs have you downloaded? I'd recommend ThunderShed for a Gingerbread base. I used that for several months without issue. I'm on Liquid's ICS now and only have the reported camcorder issue although the camera still works.
I haven't flashed anything yet, I just started downloading roms and happened to notice that Liquid didn't have a working video camera. I can't remember the names of each one, but as mentioned before, one didn't have a working wifi, one didn't support 4G.... so it just seemed like each one was missing something.
I'll look into the one you mentioned, thanks!
If youre looking for a ics sense 3.6 based rom with everything working I suggest trying out nusense 3.6. its pretty good and everything seems to work. what I am running now.
If you want a GB then for aosp thundershed is the way to go. If you want a good sense gb rom skyraider is perfect when it comes to sense roms and everything works on those 2.
Oh and might want to ask your wife if she wants you messing with her phone. Messing with a womans phone is like messing with her kid not a great idea lol. I know my wife has told me if I root her phone she will kill me.

As for me rooting her phone, she doesn't have a clue what that means, she just knows that now she doesn't have ads in her games and she likes that.
She did complain that the HTC interface is way different than the Samsung interface (DUH), are there ary roms that would make it look/act like her Samsung?
Samsung usually runs aosp so if you flash liquid ics she may not notice if you use a touchwiz theme.

Also some people has had the camera to stop working also after while. Yeah sense is way different than touchwiz. You could look for a theme that mimics touchwiz.
You could download a launcher like HOLO, Go launcher and AWD (think thats what its called.) .
I will second the recommendation of Thundershed 1.6, which has been flawless since I flashed it (everything works, runs super fast and smooth, and battery life is way better than stock and most other custom ROMs). You do need to bear in mind that these are custom ROMs, meaning each is designed to reflect the priorities of the designer and involve a certain degree of risk (rooting and replacing the stock ROM invalidates warraty), but in my experience the custom ROMs I have used (only two: BAMF Son Of A Bliss aka SOAB 1.4; Thundershed 1.6) have been as stable (if not more stable) than the original Thunderbolt. Also keep in mind, *every* device is different and custom ROMs act differently on every device.
Those caveats in place, I'd research different custom ROMs, and how each can be customized with different launchers, lockscreens and themes, and try one or two out. The Sense-based ROMs will act more like the stock Thunderbolt. Sense based ROMs include SOAB, Skyraider Zeus, and BAMF Forever, and the AOSP ROMs include Thundershed, Liquid Smooth 3.2, and SFK's CM7 build. While everyone is excited about the new ICS custom ROMs they still seem pretty "BETA" (Santod's NuSense 3.6 seems furthest along) like and so I'd wait until all of the bugs are worked out and focus more on Gingerbread ROMs for your "daily driver."
Hope this helps.
as the title says, looking for suggestions on a rom with a good working video camera. i've run tron and infection from neo and absolutely adore them. 4.2 is better than .1 but still not perfect, just kinda playing the field and looking for suggestions on things from people who have had good experiences with any particular rom. i've been running jellybean, so i'm a bit spoiled and don't really wanna go backwards. thanks all!

If you don't want to go backwards then I'm afraid to say that you are stuck. There is a definite drawback to running the cutting edge with an aging phone. One of the most glaring is the lack of a flawlessly working video camera. Neo just updated his Rage ROM (which is ICS, of course), and that update may bring some of the sweetness of JB to ICS (I haven't run it yet so I can't confirm yet). However, Chad had just about everything but bluetooth calling nailed with ICS AOSP, so that would be your best bet if you want to remain on AOSP. Sense will give you the absolute best video recording and playback; hands down. It's a trade-off, and really hard to make the decision sometimes!
Are there bad camera issues with any of the sense 4+ Roms? Just really over stock in general. I don't use Bluetooth and tether isn't too important to me. Just wanna stay away from stock and still have a working camera/camcorder

No, Sense 4+ cameras are just as good as the 3.6 camera. HTC definitely got their camera app right. AOSP ROMs don't have quite the same quality, but they will suffice if you don't want to compromise the slickness of your phone.

I was on Infection and the "Dr. Who". They are really cool, but felt like a wanted something a little more stable....Apparently so did Neo, while the bugs are being worked out so he released a new version of RAGE AOSP, optimized with his recent work....Its ICS, but it barely misses a beat......yes...its not quite as buttery, but its as close as I've seen on ICS and soooo stable!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899085
From what I have seen even with the thunderbolt. If you want great pictures and videos then you have to run a sense ROM. As good as aosp is over all the camera section just sucks in quality of photo. To bad you can't incorporate the sense camera part in to aosp. Only thing I can say is have a backup of both but thats just not practical. I only run sense ROMs as the battery life is much better than it was on my bolt running aosp GB and ICS. I haven't been brave enough to do s off yet. Good luck on finding your holy grail.

I never had to do anything special but I never flashed an aosp ROM on my rezound. So just as long as you flash what you need to in the boot loader you should be good to go.
