Hey everyone. Just a quick question. I'm looking to update my girlfriend's phone from evil eris 3.0, and I'm hoping you can recommend the best performing, most stable rom/ kernel combination that includes the sense ui. Thanks in advance.

None of them are very supported right now what with GB and Froyo being the flavors most sought after, but you can't go wrong with Tenzo's xtrRCmix or zach's xtrSense, either one is easily stable enough to be used as a daily from now till Armageddon, well either that or until someone actually finds a way to make a stable Sense 2.2 ROM.
I use xtrSENSE, and I put it on my girlfriend's phone as well. I love it. She loves it. It's very fast, and very stable. You wont be disappointed.
Awesome. Thanks guys!
Will i need to flash a kernel as well?

For xtrSENSE, xtrRCMix, either of the PlainJanes - no, you will not.

Nope, everything you need is in the Rom. It's got a few interesting extra bits included, configures memory more efficiently, has scripts to remove crap like the peep and stocks apps, and over- and underclocks by default to 710/245 Mhz.
Really very nice and complete.

You don't have too, but I promise you that you will have better battery life with Conap's V9 and it will more than likely run smoother as well.
Anyone know of a Desense GB rom built off the January OTA? Just wanting to dabble with themeing again, using one as a base. Latest one I can find is one of Scott's, and that's built off the release rom.
That's probably the last you will find. Most everyone has moved on to ICS.
Well crud. I may have to play around with re-basing then and/or desensing Cleanrom 1.7.5
Don't see why people stay on GB considering the quality of the latest ICS builds. Best move you will ever do.. Seriously! But to each their own.

I was actually going to say the same thing. Especially if you're a fan of Scott's CleanROM. CleanROM ICS Developer edition is a pretty solid DeSensed ROM.

I like to dabble. Didn't I mention that in my OP? Not going to use the rom as a daily. I already have a nandroid of ICS.

I was going to say Ineffabilis v1.4 I have been using it without any problems. Good, solid GB ROM, and I stripped it clean of any sense application (except the camera )
I'm just waiting patiently for the 'official' ICS update or s-off... whichever comes first =/ But for now, Ineffabilis it is

It's not Hate for GB. I had GB on my DX for the last year of it's life. So I'm over it especially since ICS has many more benefits than GB.

I do agree with you in that aspect. Found it not to be worth my time to mess around with theming again when the stuff looks good as is(Both ICS & GB).
Edit. started a new topic
has anyone done this yet? i want to stay on ICS, but ever since the ICS firmware that i got when it first leaked, the battery has gone to ****. i see some people getting crazy battery life still on GB firmware but running ICS roms, so i'm wondering, where can i go to get the GB firmware back? if i were to flash that RUU or whatever (with s-off), then restore my nandroid from right now, would that restore my ICS firmware, or would that be good?

im doing it and i absolutely love it and you can still enjoy ics roms and sense 4 roms and have crazy battery.
to go back just backup and run the gb ruu and install the rom of your choice.

as for your nandroid question i honestly have no clue. youd have to ask someone whos more familiar with recoveries and how nandroid works
thanks dude! so you're running ics right now, and on gb firmware? what kind of battery life are yo getting?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Personally, I did the same , but didn't notice appreciably better battery life. Then again, I never really complained to begin with. I recently did flash back to the newest ICS leak so I could quit having to flash patches . I only have 3g though, and use wifi at home so your use will definately vary than mine .

Well this week im trying out clean rom gb. Last few weeks I was on the pokemon rom.
I get an easy 14 hr day with 3-4 hrs screen time and close to 5 if I'm lucky.. But you gotta take into account a few things if you want this kind of life:
1. I have debloated and desensed very extremely
2. I don't EVER use task killers. More harm than good
3. On incredikernel and have uc/uv
4. I use watchdog and autostart manager to watch my cpu usage.
If I didn't do this stuff my screen time would only be around 3hrs which is still great but I just like to push it

wait, how do you use a custom kernel on ics??? I thought all we had was the stock kernels because we don't have the source?

There's a couple of custom kernels, but they're basically the same as stock with little tweaks.

Not really. If your running an ics rom stick with stock kernel. I have a custom one because I'm running gb clean rom
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
can someone make one for me to flash please? this stock one is not doing it for me
hmm you could always try upgrading to ICS bunch of great icons in those roms and the reason i say upgrade is because it seems like everyone is on ICS and not GB anymore
Not everyone...lol...try making a custom one from uot kitchen?

looking for a good ROM with better results with battery life and of course stability. currently on Scotts Clean Rom 3.5 and looking for something with the new ICS update and firmware. Been looking around and just would like to hear some recommendations.

Try looking at the development section. If you want sense I'd recommend viperrez. I if you don't then use neomax. Also the cm9 and aokp roms are awesome but they are beta not completely working yet

Depends on if you like sense or de-sensed roms.
For sense I like CONROM and the OTA ICS plus rom from micromod777.
For de-sensed I like both of Neo's roms (fast as hell) or CONROM with the desense option in aroma installer.

yeah i have been thinking bout getting a ROM that is desensed and it sounds like desensed is much faster... I'll have to look at neomax since two replys have mentioned it... thank you for the quick response

For some reason I experienced a lot of lagginess with neos roms although I liked them a lot so I switched back to ViperRez I know benchmarks mean nothing but I couldn't break 5000 with neomax (antutu) and on viperrez I get a constant 6800 :what:
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Big fan of Neo's latest Adrenaline here, including battery life, it also appears smoother than 1.6 and below but it does appear to be more sluggish than Venom. Having said that however my battery life with the Venom rom was horrible and my phone heated up a lot..never have the latter issue with Neo's rom or Nils' Business Sense 3.6 v5.7 rom for that matter (highly recommend giving that a shot too)
I highly recommend using ElipticRez by hawknest

and i now bring you PAC 4.4.2 which so far has no major issues that i could find...there is a few things you can do to improve your battery life...but some cause slight decrease in perforance...partially why the rez isnt my main device anymore either...but it isnt stopping me from leaving its further developement anytime soon...ill stay with it till it simply cant work at all anymore
If you really like Sense, and don't care that is still ICS, consider EclipticRez ReVamped v9... it is rock solid and battery life is respectable to great for the Rezound. It has always been my go to ROM for the Rezound when I get frustrated with the little things about KitKat that plague the Rezound
That being said, I heard the @REV3NT3CH found a solution to the camcorder problem in KitKat on the Rez?!?!? WTG bro!!! The final major hurdle has been overcome!!!

Maybe Ill give that one a try...but yeah Its getting to be time to retire this one..just need to figure out how Im going to pay for a new device and keep my unlimited. Im wating to see the new Sansung to compare it the the M8. Plus I was trying to maybe get a few more months out of it to see what the new sonys look like and maybe the Minis. The new phones are getting a bit big for my taste
GSM ROM?
Not sure if I should start a new thread or add to this one.... I'd appreciate any recommendations on the best ROM to use would be on the Rezound with AT&T. I'm currently on Neo's Tachyon 1.2 and I like it a lot, but when I've tried it with a GSM SIM previously I couldn't get outgoing SMS to work.
Thanks!
non sense:
【ROM】【4.4.2】【UNOFFICIAL】CyanogenMod 11.0【04-06-14】【GPL】【HYBRID】
everything but camcorder works.
battery is pretty good especially considering how much tethering i do.

Try everolv, when you flash the ROM, then flash the gsm.zip that you can download. It allows you to use GSM servers. Via I think a change in the build prop. Or a lot of new Roms I think have GSM...

Thanks pball, I installed everolv, it looks good. I should get my AT&T SIM in the next day or two, once that arrives I'll flash the gsm zip and report back how it goes.
About 2 weeks ago I installed Ecliptic Rez V9 on our two Rezounds and I agree wholeheartedly with it being rock solid. It has a lot of features to keep me entertained for quite awhile.
