I just recieved my Rezound today overnight and I have it activated. I am not new to rooting or flashing ROMs, but however I am new to HTC as I've only owned the original Droid and the Droid X2 in the past. My original Droid I modded the hell out of that and i came to love Peter Alfonso's stable releases and overclocking to 1.0ghz was nice. I came from the Droid X2 after just 5-6 months of use because I got tired of Motorola's locked bootloader. And it feels like there's maybe a 25% chance the X2 will get ICS, but doubtful because of the small user-base that has that phone.
Anyway my questions are what is the most stable ROM on Rezound? I guess I would prefer something that is ICS because apparently there is a major performance boost, although you can list Gingerbread ROMs as well.
On a side note, is there anything that can accurately benchmark this phone? For example I used Antutu Benchmark on my X2 and with it rooted and MotoBlur removed, it would get a score between 4800-5000. I just ran my Rezound on it and I got a score of 2700, which is totally confusing to me considering it's a 1.5ghz dual core vs a 1.0 dual core. I thought Quadrant had bad problems with dual-cores, but this seems to be above that.
Is it definitely worth it to root not and ROM it up? I don't care about the warranty issue, but I wondering if I should wait to mod anything until after we get an official ICS release then developers can build more stable ROMs off of that. Any help is appreciated.
Probably cleanrom for both ICS and GB stability wise with the stock kernel. But BAMF for ICS is probably the most featured rom.
There are tons of threads about the different roms and their benefits/disadvantages. That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to unlock it and root it. It's definitely worth it. All of the ROMs are what I would call stable. You can't go wrong with any of them in the Dev section, in my opinion. Just depends on what you want. As far as benchmarks, use Antutu. Here is my example using Joel's ROM with the 1.7 kernel:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, as you can see, rooting is worth it. If you want to try out Joel's ROM, it's his BAMF ICS ROM, but I would wait until later tonight when he updates it to 0.7.
EDIT: Ninja'd by the newly appointed Recognized Developer! Argh!!!
I've only used sense based ROMs and have had no problems at all. I do recommend you stick with stock, or lightly modified kernels. I've tried all (I think all, anyway) of the heavily developed kernels and all ended up causing me random reboots and the dreaded 100% charge boot loop. Not hating on the kernels, because they do provide some great benifits... but stability is paramount to me.
As for ICS ROMs. I just recently went with CleanROM ICS 3.1 and it's pretty stellar. The dev seems committed to it and it appears to be the most mature of the ICS bunch.
I hear good things about the BAMF ICS ROM too. It's pretty new, so I expect some pretty regular updates there so I'm waiting till that gets a little further along. But it's next on my list!
RezROM is super sick if you are down for some classic GB though.
Good luck!

Yea, me too and I was just about ready to go back to a stock kernel until I tried Incredikernel 6.0. That kernel is not over clocked, and running it since the day it was released I have yet to have one single reboot or boot loop etc.
I love the features of Incredicontrol etc. and the battery life is amazing.
don't forget about the ineff 1.3 rom. amazing theme based mods for it
Thanks for the replies. I Unlocked, Rooted and got some ROMs running on my phone. Rightnow I'm running CleanROM GB. I ran the ICS build, but personally I can't stand bugs on a ROM.
Yeah I can honestly say i've tried every rom under the Rezound dev section and prefer a senseless or AOSP variant but those are buggy the most complete and bug free rom for me has been BAMF 0.7 and it really makes the HTC Sense a dream.
The most stable rom in my opinion is clean
Rom the 1.7.5 with incredikernel beta 6.
i'm running CleanROM ICSE 3.5 and my quadrant score was 2093 and my Antutu score is 5539

I don't even go by Quadrant any longer, it doesn't measure dual-cores accurately.
I was running CleanROM ICSE overclocked to 1.7 and got a score of 6500+ each time. Before I ever unlocked my phone someone posted a score of 7200+ on BAMF 0.6 at the time.
The phone is plenty fast for me right now, so I went back to the stable CleanROM GB.
My Droid X2 didn't do so bad on Antutu. I had it rooted and debloated running Eclipse 2.1 and would get scores between 5000-5200. dual-core 1.0ghz.
made a few tweaks getting the score up to 6580
I know this is an old thread, but what do you think coming from the X2? I have an X2, but also upgraded to the Rezound, but it doesn't come in for a few (long) hours yet.

I agree. I've loved all cleanroms and usually always go back to them after trying something else. 1.7.5 is the best gb from when paired with incredikernel undervolted. I've yet to try the very latest bamf ics.
bamf or CR dev edition for ics. I personally stuck with dev edition since it's debloated like crazy and comes with ics blue themed mods.

Using this kernel is at your own risk. Before flashing make backups!!!
=========================WHY===============================
dalingrin is now working hard at CM7 kernel, and seems nobody has post the 1.2 overclock kernel, I'v recompiled the 2.6.32.9 kernel with a few of dalingrin's patches(modified from dalingrin's git).
so for the one who wants to taste some fresh meat, here it comes~~
=========================WHAT==============================
http://sugwacee.dyndns.org/index.php/16.html?p=/20110505
there are four versions:
1.1GHz
1.2GHz
stock 800M
BFS test version[/URL](1.1GHz)--for test only, cos it is set to very low voltages just for my NC. use it at your own risk.
1.1g version is recommended, and if your NC is a tuff one, try 1.2g
changes differ from stock 1.2 kernel(2.6.32.9):
1. freq table changed, boot 900M, and has a 1.2G/1.1G option. you can active it by using SETCPU. now let's go to youtube...
2. volume tweaks.
3. cifs and utf8 supported.
4.freq transition latency tweaks.
5. volt down.
6. ram speed tweaks, i don't know if it works or not(stock1.1->1.2 has change ram freq from 166M to 200M, and i am using a kernel which configured it as 220M, and if stable, i will post it) -- in BFS VERSION
7. BFS sched. currently i have BFS as the proc sched, all crazy(with quadrant 3D/2D improved slightly~1 fps up at DNA test, and excellent touch experience). but wifi has gone(kmod version issue maybe)[/COLOR] -- fixed, thanks to verygreen.
==========================HOW==============================
And of course, use CWM to flash the new kernel, just enjoy them. first boot after flashing will display an "update failed notice", turn off and then on to ignore this.
Just feel free to post feedbacks, and you can post your file:/sys/power/sr_vsel
special thanks to:
Dalingrin, for his great patches and works for NC/CM.
Verygreen, for the wlan_drv and too all the CM related works.
=======================[2011-05-13 EDIT]=============
Add BFS version.
because BFS version use a new tiwlan_drv.ko, if you change back to another kernel, do remember use NC_stock_1.2_restore_wlan_drv.zip to restore stock tiwlan_drv.ko.
===========current feedbacks============
1.1g seems to be stable for most of people. but I still doubt of it:
quadrant sometimes stop at running H.264 benchmark, I do think it has something to do with the DSP freq/volt, i have recompiled a new version to confirm this. release ASAP.
thanks,,,, will give it a try,,, 1.1 g gives me a quadrant score of 1581.... the stock 800m gave me 1261,,,, big difference in how the nook feels and responds , good work...
Edit: just ran 3 more times and got 1700+ every time !
Nice work.
1.1 is working great on my Nook.
Working perfectly for me so far. Thank you!

1.16GHz.
my NC will crash at 1.2G(if no volt tuned up, same as the Dalingrin' Eclair OC kernel. i prefer batterylife first,so i locked it at 1.16G, with stock volt level), fine enough, youku(sth. in China like youtube ) acts perfect.

Excellent! Been waiting for this OC kernel. Tested 1.2Ghz (unstable) and 1.1ghz(stable) on dual boot partition running BN 1.2... it would be great to see interactive governance profile enabled and a working BT inject! It is noticeable speedier with the OC kernel.. might be replacing my Nookie Froyo with this setup.
What's the purpose for the 800M zip? To get the new features?

Great work, have been waiting for this since I rooted 1.2 and all I need now is a little speed boost. Keep it up.

incase that someone's NC is unstable with both 1.1g and 1.2g, for restoring
how's the battery life?
My stock rooted 800M is pretty decent: 6+ days with 1 hour of usage each day.
Undervolting with 1.1g in the best case could be a wash in terms of battery life?
Mine is unstable at 1.2G but 1.1G works great. Thank you very much. Now only if I can get rid of this youtube not working on my rooted Nook 1.2

not very sure. you can check the battery life.
a few days later, i will do some clean up and release a new version(which is much stabler,with most of stuffs i mentioned), that one would to be the same as stock one(i mean battery life performance)
bugs with youtube?
I noticed that the only two members having problems with youtube have also overclocked the NC: ehcan and HTCF4N.
Coincidence? I am at BN1.2 with MN4.5.2 and have not OC. Youtube works fine.

maybe sth. to do with dsp volt, i guess, same as the H.264 issue i mentioned at first post.
fix it later.
curiously, i remember the h.264 issue apear with stock kernel, so maybe sth. wrong with system itself.
i was watching the phonedog.com dogfight between the Gnote and the iP 4s (no surprise the Gnote wins )
anyways, he ran the Quadrant Standard Edition so i went and installed it....his test came out to 2396. i ran the same test and mine came out to 3223. i wonder why there was such a difference? perhaps he hadn't rebooted his in awhile. i have no widgets running, perhaps that is why.

I don't get it. Highest ive gotten so far is like 2745. I have mine rooted with clock mod installed but on stock rom. How are you guys hitting 3,000 e on the stock rom.

Nope no widgets. I'll have to try and freeze some more bloat.
Use setcpu, and use scaling performance so that it's truly running at 1.5GHz. Samsung uses "on-demand" speed scaling, so when you test, there's a chance it might be running at less than 1.5 if it hasn't scaled up to 1.5 yet
I'm running stock ROM (only rooted), CWM b4 recovery, and Da_G overclock kernel
Dont just freeze bloat uninstall it! I never freeze it.
i'm running stock everything except i run an installed Launcher. why would mine be higher than some others? does rooting slow it down?
here is my benchmark.
Using GO launcher, 6 home screens, 11 widgets - WidgetLocker Running in background w/ beautiful widgets.
SauROM w/ DaG kernel overclocked - 1.83 ghz - V6 supercharger script 1000+hp
My setCPU is 1.83 on "performance" setting (yes it makes a difference).
*Also, used RomToolboxPro to change i/o scheduler to Deadline and increase SD read write from 128kb to 3072kb...

Couple things here, and by no means am I an Apple fan to ANY degree, but....
4S is close to year old technology, so comparing it to a brand new superphone like the Note (even the Skyrocket which has been to market for a couple months now) is silly. I generally like Phonedog and was genuinely surprised that guy would even compare the two devices. It sets a really silly precedent because 8 months from now, he'll likely make the same comparison between the Note and the Iphone5 which just might be similarly unfair, in the other direction.
Also, Quadrant is very nearly fraudulent in terms of its usefulness in showing the "actual" speed of a device, in a real-world sense, so I take ANY statement that starts or ends with Quadrant benchmarking with a huge truckload of salt.
Just my take...

I am running MIUI. Not as fast as I want it to be.
Which ROM for utter, sheer speed?
I can't stand it when I am waiting for the phone....
willing to sacrifice it all, for the sake of responsiveness !
Help !
Should I just get stock rom? that is, roms based on Froyo will be faster?
unfortunately, there's seems to be an inherent delay in ICS. of all the ICS flavors i've tried, Doc's V6 seems to be the snappiest, although only after extensive tweaking. get rid of menu transitions, disabled scrolling cache, etc.
since ICS isn't officially supported, and probably won't ever be, I think 2.2 & 2.3 brews will be better optimized. I just came from a non-recognizable Bionix 1.3.1, custom handling of the framework, and was hoping to flash the lovely Bionix Blackout theme, but the author never got back to me.
as of this moment, i'm on WeUI 1.0. I may go back to 2.2 for one reason: Speakerphone. I've yet to find an ICS rom/kernel combo that doesn't screw up speakerphone. The mute/unmute bug seems to still be prevelant, although not as annoying.
I'm using Passion V13.1 clocked at 1.4ghz. My phones handles the OC without crashing. I've disabled many of the pretty things and I have 0 lag. Its been great.

I'm using ICS Zen 1.6 with Subzero #70
100% Supercharged - Overclocked.
Zero Lag.
I'm on Slim 3.4. I don't use any OC, but the phone is plenty zippy. The only thing that seems to lag is on startup while it scans for all the apps that I have moved to SD. Once that is done, I don't have any speed issues.

Performance varies from device to device. While cm7 might be faster for some (I used cm7 for almost a year) but the speed was nothing compared to Zen for me right now. Benchmark means very little in actual performance, so it isn't something you can really rely on in regards to how fast the phone will actually be.
Yea ICS is a pain.
For those that say you have no lag.
1:you have 1-4 apps
2:you don't use to its full extent
3:you don't like having a nice user experience.(which is why you disabled everything)
4:you obviously don't know what a smartphone is used for.
Lag is present in a lot of ICS ...you need to do a lot of tweaking for it to be vanished and even then a little hiccup will be available which is fine nothings perfect...it just gets to me when people say they have days without charging their phone and claim to have "zero lag"

2. I certainly do. Lots of streaming, DLing, gaming, messaging, emailing, etc
3. I have most all my settings enabled atm, only thing I don't have is a pretty live wallpaper lol (but occasionally I do turn one on for a few weeks)
4. And that would be?

That was day one of my flash, and I didn't use my phone very much as you can see...but even still, it had good life on the first day...the battery life has improved substantially since then (as it tends to once the rom settles) Now, I am constantly using my phone, and I can "usually" get about 36-38 hours on one charge.
It's the only ICS rom that has had no lag for me, whatsoever, and has excellent battery performance. I am speaking from my perspective, not any one else's. Phone's vary from devices to device...making a swooping claim like, "all ics roms are buggy and lag" is just silly. Just because your device lags on certain roms, doesn't mean that the performance of the rom is reflected by your experience.

Hardware varies greatly from one device to the next...thats why some people can undervolt crazy values, and others can undervolt very little....same with overvolting and everything in between.
And, I ran passion for a few months....Zen is like a new experience in my opinion.
Yea I couldn't under volt past -25 else it froze
I'm looking for some input from the flashaholics out there.
What is currently the fastest rom with everything working (except 4G)?
**Not worried about 4G since I'm unlocked. When I say fast I'm talking real world speed and smoothness.**

I keep coming back to this one for speed and stability.

Awesome. I was just going to ask this question here myself.
I've finally dove into unlocking my bootloader.
I was using Imperative Initiative for a couple of weeks, but grew tired of the remnants of Blur and the overall red theme.
I was extremely happy with the performance, though!
I tried a few CM7 ROMS, and was happy with them, but through either my somewhat sloppy ROM flashing, or quirks of the CM7 ROMS, (Or the kernels I was throwing at the ROMS) bits and pieces weren't working for me.
(Synching with exchange servers, Wi-Fi issues etc...)
After wrestling with a few different CM7 ROMS, I'm getting Imperitave Initiative loaded back up right now.
I'm currently on Loki's v1.0.4. It is a very nice rom but doesn't seem to be any smoother for me than stock. I know the benchmark scores might be better and there is more space free on the phone but I'm looking for a real world difference. Going to try with a different launcher and see how that feels.
So far I think CM9 has been the fastest interface but not everything works.
Anyone else? Maybe stock or stock w/deblur script is the fastest no-sacrifice interface there is for the Photon.
**Edit: I have tweaked the interface a bit more in Loki's 1.0.4 and now that it has run a bit I think the interface is indeed faster than it was with stock. Haven't added all my widgets yet but looks to be promising.

The problem with Imperium is the launcher. Then again the problem with Blur is the launcher. I included VTL as the dev has always responded to my include requests and overall it's not a bad launcher. Imperium really starts to shine when using smooth launchers. Zeam and LauncherPro run pretty smooth and Go runs like liquid. I may end up dropping VTL in the next release for more eyecandy and smoothness but am not sure yet.
CM has always been very responsive for me. A lot has to do with the lack of overhead from manufacturer junk. It takes a lot of magic to get most stock roms to perform as well as CM in general. Blur is pretty much hopeless in the regard as even running at 1.3 Blur home is still choppy junk.
Stock with the deblur script will show noticeable improvement but ADW is not the smoothest of launchers. It was used because nobody other than VTL responded to my include requests. A solution would be to pick a smooth, fast launcher and rename it to replace ADW in the script folder then run the script. If any of the launcher devs ever get back to me I will replace ADW. Then again I might just say the hell with it and use a smoother launcher without getting include permissions.

Thanks for the tip. VTL was not running bad at all but put LPP on there and it is pretty quick (plus the features and built in widgets are nice to have). Have used Go in the past on stock but it slowed the phone up considerably when using the widgets. Zeam just doesn't have enough features for my taste.
So far your rom is kickin' some stock butt. I should of tried it sooner. Thanks.
Flashaholics...?? What's that and is there a help class for this? Ha haLike a tractor beam, sucked me right in!
I haven't ran benchmarks on them all for a while, but 6476 on tutu is just wat I got on jokers cm9 0.6.0 build. I use for daily. Cm7 cy's builds was what I used before jokers, but ics runs super smooth for me so I stayed.
Best of luck in your descoveries.

jrebo's score is low because he's not using a class10 card and on the older version. With a class10 on v1.0.5 the scores are around 6500. Running at 750MhZ single core, Initiative v1.0.5 is about as fast as the OG Evo is at 1GhZ.

Reason I don't really care about the benchmarks....variables. Real world performance (on my phone with my setup) is the only thing that matters to me, not some number.
I am crowning Loki's rom the champion. Everything works since it has stock base and my Photon could not be more responsive. There is zero lag between screens, app drawer launch, starting programs, etc. Everything I was looking for in an interface with added bonus of Webtop+/Ubuntop which is awesome in itself.

I only use certain benches for testing and analysis but folks can't seem to leave them alone as the final word on ROM performance. That's why I explained why the scores were what they were.

Webtop is about to get better for a lot of folks, not just unlocked MoPho users. More on that later.
BTW. Thanks for the the thumbs up on Imperium. If it wasn't for folks like you I would have dropped it a long time ago.
Since a similar topic has 250+ pages on the Nexus 4 forum, it seems that it is not against the rules to share your personal setup in such thread. So let us get started and see what people like this time around
Atm i'm with cloudystock 2.4 + cloudykernel 1.4, i was testing the 2.5 release but it feels slower than the older version (2.4).
I use bruce's ROM and also bruce kernel. I like G2 UI more than G3 UI and also with G2 ROM you get the max features and stability of G2

Curently on stock 20f and bruce kernel
I've tried three roms so far, and here are my experiences with them. Please note that I respect the hard work of every developer - I am stating my personal experience which might not reflect nor represent the experience of other users.
I tried CloudyG3 1.3 with dorimanx kernels 6.8-7.6. Was a fantastic experience and I felt as if I got a new device. UI was beautiful and I loved the flat look. There were some occasional microstutter and battery life wasn't the best I had experienced (coming from stock unrooted) but the looks and the overall feeling was great.
Then I moved on to Pardus HD Classic 7.7 + dorimanx 7.7-7.8.
That was a fantastic rom, too. Battery life was absolutely extreme with dorimanx 7.8. I have next to no complaints about this comination because it works so good. With G2 Xposed and G2Tweaksbox I was able to get a G3ish look and everything was functioning well.
Yesterday I tried Mahdi 9-20 with its kernel.
That thing is blazing fast. Really. Battery life is on par with Cloudy G3. It is not as visually pleasing as CloudyG3 unless you're a sucker for AOSP. The main downside to it, is the horrible camera. My G2 used to take fantastic pictures, but since I switched, that ability is gone.
I might return to Pardus, but I'll give Mahdi a couple days first =)
Best rom until now cloudyG3 ! no need to change kernel.. !! cloudy kernel is just fine!! battery is good but perfomance is the best...
u can flash also g2 camera so u can have both G3 and G2 camera!
just the best until now... !
and stock roms are way better than aosp!
Now im using cloudy g3 2.0 or Liquid Smooth, aosp or g3 themed *_*

I'm on cloudy G3 2.0 with cloudy kernel. So far it seems more battery hungry than 1.3. But i need to make a few more charging cycles to decide if i will stay on 2.0 or go back to 1.3. Btw , dirty flashed and 0 problems
mahdi + bart dorimanx kernel.

Now on stock 20d with Dorimanx kernel (although time and again I try flashing others) ? so far this is my "go to" combination cheers!

AICP on the stock AICP kernel that was tweaked by @Snuzzo, only change from stock is using Intelliactive governor, it is the best combination I have found for a ROM on the VS980.
CloudyG3 2.0
Now testing different kernels/voltages/settings to see if I can improve battery life even more
Whats the best rom for data/network signal?
I did some speed test because im suspecting cloudyg3 gets lesser signal than stock.
My speedtest proves me right.
With 15minutes interval and same spot.
What rom can you suggest for data and network signal? Thanks.

Speed tests are not an indication of speed... Your signal strength (not speed) should be irrelevant to the ROM, it is a function of the radios which are independent of the ROM itself, although how its displayed to you via the bars is ROM dependent. There are at least a dozen reasons those tests could be different. To test your signal levels, use a tool like Network Signal Info and look at your dBm level, which should a negative number from -60 to -120 with higher numeric values indicated stronger/better signal (-70 is better than -90).
Although I like Speedtest.net for quick speed tests, it is very inconsistent, if your on the US consider FCC Speed Test as it is more standardized but I do recommend going into settings and disabling Background Tests and device wake-up.
I would try a couple other ROMs as well.
