IMHO, If you like CleanRom, stay on the one you have now til we get a new ICS leak and see if the kernel issues are fixed or test out the latest CleanRom that allows you to install without updating the firmware on the phone for now.

I highly recommend rezrom 3.3, super fast, stable, and good battery life. Plus bored has a patch you can flash after so you dont have to update to the new firmware.
go with clean rom ICS its got plenty of tweaks and runs fast!
How long does it take to update the firmware? Is there a one click method or something easy like that and do I need to be connected to the internet? I only ask because the only I can connect is through my phone.

It's a zip file you install on the phone, the process is detailed here - http://www.scottsroms.com/showthread.php/856-HOW-TO-Prepare-for-CleanROM-4-x-Update
IMHO I wouldn't do this since there are work arounds in place now. Wait til the official update makes it's way out someday...

CleanRom 4.3 using the old firmware patch. No need to upgrade the firmware right now.
But just be aware, the ICS roms have kernels that really suck the battery down when the screen is on. There's a bug that ramps up the CPU to 100% anytime the screen is on. It might be better to just stick with a GB based ROM for right now.
I tried the cleanrom ics it runs real smooth but reverted to my cleanrom BG.some apps that I like are not compatible with ics yet. My suggestion is to try it, without updating the firmware. Remember to make nandroid backup , but you'll have to run the nandroid helper to revert back to a GB Rom.

No, at this time if you update the firmware you cannot revert back to the prior firmware. That is why the best method maybe for you to try an ICS Rom that has a patch that allows you to use that rom without the firmware upgrade. This way if you want to revert back ti Gingerbread you can.
Before making the jump up to ICS, have a play with Ineffabilis.

The old firmware patch should be in the ROM thread for the ROM you pick. Just check the first post and it should be referenced there.

The CleanROM Kang Tapped version OP states that it uses the leaked firmware. I was curious what I Am Marino meant by applying an old firmware patch that allows him to keep the old firmware. If I'm correct, he can run newer GB ROMs with older firmware, and doesn't have to worry about running older GB ROMs that require older firmware since he still uses older firmware.
I suppose this may be a superceeded by S-Off, but until then if we flash the leaked firmware, there is no way to go back, right?
My goal is to have a reliable, bug-free, firmware/kernel/ROM combo.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for any info.
I'm pretty new to this phone if you can't tell.

I've tried most of the rezound roms listed in these forums. I personally like Rezrom and clean romantic, both gb and ics. Currently running cleanrom 4.2 on the new firmware but the latest version doesn't require it (neither does the latest release of Rezrom ics). Both are stable so the big difference is theming. I've noticed that most of the developers are focusing on ics so there haven't been updates to gb roms.
I just went from Cleanrom 1.7 to Nils Business ICS 4.0. Its only been a day since on it but so far I have 52% battery left after 12hrs with moderate use. I have no complaints with this set up and I am updated to the newest RUU leak. Even with the newest RUU I was able to still go back to GB 1.7 and run without issues as well.
If you use market apps for texts like Handcent or anything you will need to do the third party contacts fix so contact pics from facebook or other social networks show up, but if not then no worries.
Running CleanRom 4.3 using the stock kernel, no issues with speed or battery life.

Hi I just recently unlocked and rooted my rezound and am looking to install a custom rom. There are so many ICS roms out there and I find it hard to sort through them and find the best one. I would like to know: Which ICS Rom is the most stable, which ICS Rom is de-sensed the most, if the rom updates the mainversion, and which ICS kernel is the best (and where to download it. Thank you for your help!
All the Devs list bugs in the first post of the from thread so read that carefully before flashing anything.
For stable....I would run Clean Rom ICS by Scrosler or Nils Business ICS if you want full-sense stable along with a bit of the theming done.
As for Senseless...I have been running NewtoRoots Senseless and it has been running awesome for me. The main issue is inability of sending/receiving MMS but I'm using GOsms in the meantime until that is fixed. One of the users packaged the rom to flash the kernel as well if you're not all that comfortable using fast boot right now. In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22435498
Most of the ICS roms will update your main version unless you flash the kernel (boot.king) via fastboot. There is a how to in the Dev section to revise you main version if you wish to go back to GB.

Yes they will supply the kernel also. Some devs include it in the rom zip, others have it as a seperate dowload. You wil have to read the first couple posts in the thread to see what it says. Follow the directions of the dev is the best advice.

It is Extremely stable. Why not just download it, use Odin to put it on your Note, then use Odin to Root your Note? That is what I did and things work fine. Just be sure to save anything you would like to keep because it will be gone afterwards. It is recommended to remove the memory card but it didn't delete anything off mine.

Sorry I wasn't following that part of the situation. I would say either look up on Google for a way to do it, or use someone else's computer. I live in Ohio haha you could use mine if you were not far from Ashtabula lmao
The safest and most stable way is to download the .exe on the computer and run it. Download the cwm .tar file. Then use odin to run the .tar file to get cwm. Download the superuser .zip file and drag it into your microSD card. Then get in to recovery and do a backup to see if it works. If so, from recovery menu, flash the superuser .zip file from your microSD. Bam, ICS UCLE2 stock rooted. Remove bloat and get Apex launcher and its smoot sailing and stable.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I'm just surprised nobody has made a cwm version yet. Ever other leak had one.

What makes you think they're way to customized? Just flash his 1st release without the fj mod.

Have you read the feature list? Hell one of them has the SGS3 launcher and apps instead of the ones from the Note.
I'm downloading the one from the third post which is what I think you're talking about.
Lol. I think that's the only one rom. Apex launcher is by default, but you can use the stock touchwiz. Its as close as you're gonna get if you want a cwm zip. Can't hurt to try it out. Just make a backup of your stock rom and give it a try. You won't regret it. Any ics rom blows gb out of the water. If you don't like it, you can be back to stock in 10 minutes.
Sent from Galaxy Note
Well I flashed it but it's missing Touchwiz Launcher which I actually wanted since I like it's widgets. Sigh. Time to borrow a friend's computer and get the ODIN leak.
You have to either flash it seperately or use tools in settings to install it. Tools are there only if you flashed the latest rom or flashed fj mod. If you flashed the 1st le2 rom then just flash the fj mod. It doesn't change anything. It just gives you the ability to add a few things....including touchwiz.

The leak is supposed to be the official version. From what I've read it is as stable as the stock GB rom.

Hi,
I got a second hand T-mobile Amaze 4G and since it's second hand, I don't have very accurate info regarding what the previous guy had done with it. I've been reading extensively the forums for past weeks since all this stuff was new to me and I'm better now but still have a few questions though.
What I want to achieve is to have a stable ICS ROM on my phone. If I understood correctly, as of now nightly build of Cyanogenmod and
Info regarding my phone:
A) Carrier is T-mobile.
B) Probably is S-on, I can be wrong.
C) Have no idea about it's SuperCID status.
D) It's recovery was "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7" but I installed 4EXT Recovery Touch V.1.0.0.5 RC7 on it since I read most ROMs require this.
(That's all I can think off from what I read is required to know about one's phone, but if not, ask me and I'll do my best to reply)
My questions:
1- Since my phone's carrier is T-mobile, do I still have to s-off my phone if I want to install ICS on it?
2- If the previous question's answer is positive, do I have to run Juopunutbear under Ubuntu? I read unlimited.io's website and they suggested Ubuntu and removed Windows versions of Juopunutbear due to compatibility (and user trolls) but I see youtube tutorials on to do it under Windows. Is it advised to do it under Ubuntu? It's hard to download 700Mb and also work under Ubuntu for me.
3- Which ROM is better for me? I'm a game developer and just need a stable phone so I can test my game on it. I need SD card access when I mount the phone to my computer so I can easily deploy my games. I do like the stock ICS look of Cyanogenmod but apparently Revolution is more stable, right? I'm open to other alternatives, I just want a stable ROM and hopefully look of stock ICS.
4- I tried installing both of the Cyanogenmod and Revolution but after the installing them and restarting the phone, it gets stuck at htc logo. I've read that this can be due to s-on but I also read that T-mobile phones do not require those steps. So this is my main problem now.
Thank guys so much in advance.
Update
I put the the 4EXT recovery into SmartFlash mode and then flashed the Cyanogenmod again and after the install, it did not stuck at htc logo but when I unlock the phone, it freezes after 1-2 seconds and the auto restarts! :'(
This is a good thread to read through before you start flashing ROMs, since your phone is S-ON.
Make sure you enable smartflash in 4EXT

Thanks for the reply. What's I believe is missing from that topic is that you need to upgrade the firmware. I think that's why my phone gets frozen after 1-2 seconds, amsearching for the firmware I have to upgrade.
Another question to my initial ones:
5- If I upgrade my firmware, will I be able to install GB ROMs again on it? Or do I have to downgrade my firmware in order to do so?
did you wipe completely before flashing the ROM? Wipe cache, dalvik cache and wipe data?

Yes, I run the Super Wipe script, "Super_Wipe_Amaze_4G.zip", so it does all that. I strongly believe my problem is that I didn't install the stock ICS ROM before installing Cyanogenmod and am downloading the latest one.
So I have two questions:
1) When I upgrade my firmware to ICS, how am I will be able to install GB ROMs again? Do I have to install older firmwares first?
2) Which ICS ROM has stock lookingness of ICS but with most features and stability?
Thanks.
Cm10 is a jellybean rom and wont work until your phone is already running ics. If youre on gb, install a stock tmobile ics ruu and then flash cm10. For stock look and performance id recommend the energy rom.
Also someone correct me if im wrong but youll have to soff to go back to gb
Success!
Yes the problem WAS that I had to flash stock ICS RUU first then flash any ICS custom ROM over it. I now have a nice CryogenMod 10 on my device. It's not complete but I really love how it looks! Thanks to it's great devs.
It's not that stable and I see
And it lacks SD card drive mount which I used a lot, maybe I try to use AirDroid instead. Have to try it for a few days.

Thanks Hassan, what I meant by stock is not the sense look, I don't like it. What I meant is original ICS look that Nexus 7 has for example. The look that CryogenMod has. What I was asking is that is there any other ROM which looks like CryogenMod but is more stable and has more features?
And is there any comparison chart between current state of ICS ROMs? Which ones are good for daily usage?
And I still have my questions:
1) What should I do if I want to get back to GingerBreak ROMs? Should I have to install/flash GB RUU and then a custom GB ROM over it?
2) My WiFi signal is worse, like half of what is used to be, since I'm sitting next to my router, so do I have to run/flash anything to fix this?
And let me thank EXT4 Recovery's SmartFlash, I didn't need to s-off my device, which is tricky, needs Ubuntu to work fine, etc.

I dont think were allowed to compare roms here. But for the look you like with features, there are several options. One is fourth bar infusion by craigtut. Another is the one im using which is jellybam. A personal favourite rom is the dark glass 0.3 pacman by josegaire. These are tge roms with a nexus look.. the wifi signal must have something to do with the rom. Try a different one and see if it improves.

well it's your choice and for the downgrade part thats the procedure just flash a GB ROM but never seen a post who downgrade their firmware version you can try if you want it wont hurt you..but if you want to go to stock flash the ics ruu it'll do the same thing and the wifi issue i'd say try flashing the [25.MAR.13] T-Mobile OTA 2.14.531.30 [STOCK] and then flash cyanogenMod if the problem still exist ask from the Cyanogen users whether is it a problem with the rom itself

Thanks. I think the only ROMs that have the Nexus look are CM and FourthBar, right? Is FourthBar more stable for daily use than CM10? I love CM but sudden lags and occasional bugs is irritating.
The fourth bar has no issues at all. There used to be an older version of it called fourth bar nexus that was even more stable with better battery life but i think it has been taken down. Fourth bar infusion is a great daily driver though.

The fourth bar has no issues at all. There used to be an older version of it called fourth bar nexus that was even more stable with better battery life but i think it has been taken down. Fourth bar infusion is a great daily driver though.

Can you compare it to CM10? What are advantages and disadvantages between the two.

I don't know what you meant by "stable ICS rom" but the latest ICS that T-mobile released has Sense UI but I want Nexus UI.
Your phone carrier is tmobile.. But.. The phone was not made for tmobile.. It was made for telus..
Telus would luck up a cockroach if they could derive a profit from even 1 customer.
You need super cid.. So you need to Soff first.
Then you can flash anything in the future
I've seen a big difference in problems between those who do Soff and those who don't.. I watch closely since I did my Soff.. It's worth it.

I flashed this "RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L. 17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip" (and then CM10 over it) so I think it's a T-mobile ROM, right?

My wife's RAZR has been a lot less reliable ever since the last OTA.
I have rooted her stock 4.1.2 RAZR to get a good backup, and installed SafeStrap3.
I am looking for a ROM option to replace her stock 4.1.2 ROM, BUT ... it has to be a lot more stable than the current stock ROM. The first time that her phone has a random reboot, freezes, or drains her battery in 6 hours, she won't let me touch her phone again.
For whatever reason, her Motorola phone is a lot less reliable than my Galaxy S3. My GS3 can run for months without a hiccup.
Does anybody have a suggestion for a good, reliable RAZR ROM that I can load on her phone? Stability and good battery life are much more important than the running the latest KitKat beta build, so even a suggestion for a solid RAZR ROM from months ago would be appreciated.
Thanks!

i just wanted to suggest the ARTMOD.
good call! i confirm it can run on solid 50hrs+ with light usage.
Thanks, guys! I'll check out ArtMod.
Another thought crossed my mind: Is there a way to go back to the full 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US ROM (The one before the last OTA)? My wife seemed very satisfied with that one - At least it was more stable than the current release.
I would need to disable OTA updates if I went that route, I suspect.
Thanks,

No, You cannot downgrade once updated.
Also, I'd like to mention that most stable/best/reliable ROM/Kernel kinda threads are not allowed on xda-developers(Please refer the rules sticky). So refrain yourself from asking that.

Sorry neo.ank - I certainly was not intending on violating any forum rules.
Regarding going back to an earlier RAZR ROM, I know that I can't "downgrade" - but, that wasn't exactly the question. What I am wondering is if there is a way to go back to an earlier version by installing the "98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US" ROM into one of the slots in SafeStrap? I can't seem to find a copy of that ROM - I only found a copy of the OTA upgrade patch file. I may need a number of ROMs/patches to get to the previous version. But, I would also need to make sure I don't lose SafeStrap in the process, or her phone would get bricked - followed closely by me getting bricked ... and panned ... and potted ... and rolling pinned ... :silly:

You can go back to the firmware version just before the latest OTA update by using Matt's utility (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467)

Cool! Thanks!
I am VERY satisfied with using the latest Slimkat ROM.. build 3.2. It is very stable with the included kernel or you could flash the latest JBX kernel. Some have had issues with using JBX.. I have not, it has worked perfectly for me with great battery life and the ability to tweek CPU settings/ governor to your liking. I keep the stock moto in the stock slot and update everything about once a week and Slimkat in slot 1 using the max allowable partition values when I create slot 1. I Used TI backup to backup all my apps/app data, call log, messages onto the SD card, flashed Slimkat and JBX kernel in slot 1. Restored only user apps/data that I use, call log, and messages into Slimkat using TI backup and it has worked flawlessly since then.
The earlier versions had some kinks but they have all been worked out. Wifi, BT, wifi tether, all work perfectly. No crashes, freezes, or forced reboots. I'm paranoid about losing the stock stuff myself (why I keep it backed up and updated in Stock slot), she could do the same if it doesn't work for some reason, but seriously thinking of putting this in my stock slot and only having this one on my phone.

I'm trying this out myself, so far so good.
My new favorite ROM is LiquidSmooth 3.0. It is by far the best performing ROM I have used.

+1 :good:
me too! Slimkat rom + JBX kernel.:good::good:
Aviator 3.09 is based on the stock rom. It is pretty good but not listed on xda. You can google for it.
Flying Jelly is also stock based and very smooth. Google for it also.

Me too = Slim + JBX!
Some of you may have noticed that there were some problems with the last few JBX builds. I was playing with some newer drivers, new HDMI implementation, etc, etc. But just today I pushed a new build which is really fast, stable and very satisfying power consumption. You might want to check it.

Slimkat is veey good because it is very stable that is one of the main reasons a lot of people are on it.

Thanks, everybody! Very useful responses! I think I am going to look at SlimKat Build 3.2 first ...
I have a few questions:
1) What does the JBX Kernel get me beyond the kernel embedded in SlimKat 3.2? Is it more stable than what comes with SlimKat? Will it let me under voltage to get better battery life?
2) If the more recent versions of JBX are unstable, what version of JBX Kernel should I be using?
Thanks,
AzJazz

As for JBX I have yet to try the new builds but for me I have been getting right around2 hours screen time without jbx. With I got 1 hour but that was on the 26 build. I will try now with the new builds usually I get around 3 hours screen time with jbx when it works right. You will just have to test it. Also why on slimkat 3.2? I like 4 it seams to work really well I started with slimkat 3.6 nothing lower. But then again I got the newest then. Hope this helps you out.
I pulled my old Vibrant out of a box and thought I'd try to run a newer version on android on it, but I haven't been about to make heads or tails of the development forum. After 3+ hours of fiddling and 3 or 4 programs downloaded, I'm at a loss. The phone currently has Bali kernel and Bionix-V FishmanMod which I loaded on it in 2011 or 2012 and have no recollection of what I did. :silly:
I think my questions are:
Do I need to revert to stock? Because odin refuses to recognize my phone in download mode. It sees it fine when it is booted normally.
Otherwise, what do I need to do to update the kernel and put kit kat on the phone?
If there's anybody out there, thanks and I tried really really hard and I'm just really confused.
I think it would be best for you to go back to stock first.
1. Make sure that your drivers are properly installed
2. Try different usb ports, reboot computer/phone, different usb cable if Odin won't recognise the phone.
Honestly, going back to stock won't help much. Install a JB rom and or kernel and from there install a kitkat kernel then rom. In that order. Make sure you wipe data and cache completely to make sure there isn't any problems.

I was thinking about updating CM7 or CM9. Building with latest sources. I personally had many speed issues with ICZenwich. Is that non-existant on ICS Kiss?
What do you guys think? Should I upload the latest builds of these ancient android versions?

ICS Kiss does have speed issues. I very much want to update but don't want to go through the plug and chug of finding one I like. If someone can recommend a stable, vanilla, something or other, I'd appreciate it.
I found what I'm looking for. Yea, CM should fit the bill nicely.
