Just out of curiosity, which ROM do you guys prefer?
Its all personal opinion but I prefer unnamed. Battery life is great...which is what I want. Never had a reason to change so I can't speak for other roms.

Try them all. It's not difficult to flash, Google will load most your apps back anyway on a fresh install, and you won't get a biased opinion.

UnNamed on Monday, ICSrewD on Tuesday, SensatioN on Wednesday and so on and on. What he said, why not try them all. That's one if the main reason I rooted.

Ive used them all. Id say ICScrewed and Sensation with Siyah kernel over unnamed. Battery life is simular with them all really. MIUI over them all

I've wanted to try miui, i've heard nothing but great things. Does the fact that its 2.3.7 make a difference when restoring a backup that's 2.3.6?

Used miui (both variances) and now unnamed. Battery life is about the same and is largely depended on kernel. Used siyah for miui and entropy dd for unnamed. The reason for leaving miui was skrewed headset volume. Still monitoring to see if it gets fixed.
They are all awesome other than that.

I've tried both Unnamed and ICScrewed... didn't like the latter. Unnamed caused me some problems though since it flashes the baseband to UCKK6. Caused my wifi to go haywire and resetting every couple minutes. Once I flashed the modem back to UCKH7 things seem to be a bit more stable... so far.
SensatioN because Crysis is the man.

I've literally been on every rom available for the SGH-i777. When I look for the rom that makes me happy, I look for the one with the most complete features. The only one to make me completely happy with battery life and features was UnNamed v2.0+. this rom is always kept in the most stable with almost a next day release if someone complains about anything. That's what I love about this rom. When people were having stability problems with the latest Entropy Kernel they changed it up and downgraded the kernel that very same day! Also, who was the very first rom to feature a working NFC?! GTG is a very friendly guy, ignores you if you dont get around the thread though, but its fine because if you question has been answered, why answer it again? Search next time!!
Anyways. Prior to UnNamed, My favorite was personally GalnetMIUI, official build with Task, the only thing that really kept me away was its instability, such as the screwed up headphone bug, which seems to be in CM7 pretty badly. (WHY HAS NO ONE FIXED THIS?) and the fact that there was no NFC, seems to be lacking features, and a lot of them. With MiLocker, I seem to be happy with UnNamed, I don't run into any problems except a delayed lock screen but meh, Who really locks there phone just to unlock it a second later? Lol.
So seriously, UnNamed 2 for the win !!

WiFi issues are resolved for his and my ROM sir
I ran Unnamed all day yesterday, but I switched back to MIUI. I just think MIUI is more polished than any stock ROM, and has more features that make the phone more enjoyable to use. The battery life has been great, and it's been very stable. Every now and then I get the urge to try something else, but I don't really see a reason to switch.
i put UnNamed on mine first and really liked it but wanted more ICS flavor, so i switched to ICScrewD. really like the jkay app that comes with it. both were very stable for me and didnt have any problems, the only reason i switched was for visuals
I have tried and love all the roms. I finally settled with miui. All the features and menus just flow. It's fast stable had great battery life and has tons of themes to choose from. I might be biased since I ran miui on my captivate and just got used to it. I do change the launcher and run go launcher.

Been on unnamed since day one, but recently switched to ICScrewed, and I'm liking them about the same so far, though I'm warming to ICScrewed.
I do like that ICScrewed has more bloat removed, and I LOVE jkaymod. If you want more customization, try out ICScrewed.

What is the most stable & lag free ROM out there for X2? I'm on Eclipse 2.1 & this wifi problem is killing me softly. I was on CM7 but I kept getting problems with it.
If you have a ROM w/ a certain version of it that you'll suggest, I'm all ears.
In what problem did u have with cm7? If ur willing to go back I'm sure we can help solve them, unless u mean HDMI.

im looking into romming too and was wondering the same thing. I want a rom that is glitch free.
I don't really have any problems with CM7 other than wifi can take a while to connect...you may have to toggle it off and back on to get it to connect. I have not recently had any issues with it staying connected. I can't think of any other issues I've had. My wife has a DX2 stock and I used it for about 5 minutes today....that's enough to drive me crazy
Quick Note....Search bar. This topic has been raised twice in the past month.
But while I'm here I might as well put into it... I've been on CM7, MIUI, Molten and Eclipse and Eclipse is hands down the best. I don't know that bugs actually exist on this rom. Miui has seriously video issues, Molten isn't up to snuff over all, Cm7 is solid but the wifi connection is what turned me away, it is annoying as he'll even with the wifi fix scripts. Eclipse doesn't have a single on of these problems. Not one.

When I was on CM7, when I reboot it gets stuck at the boot screen at times. Followed all directions to the letter & i had a wifi problem also like some ppl had. that's what drove me away
Are you sure you are on the correct android build? Cm7 is fairly stable but it foes have its share of issues, none major by any means though. I would say eclipse is the most stable for the x2, and that's comming from a guy who runs cm7. Double check that you are on 2.3.5 for eclipse and not 2.3.4.

I finally dumped cm7 after three months of the wifi disconnects. Aside from that it's my favorite. I'm running eclipse 2.1 and it is solid, zero wifi problems sooooo happy about that. I do miss some of the cm7 features (long press pull down widget, swipe away notifies, lock screen options, overall customization). So far I'm sticking with eclipse 2.1.

Kinda makes you wonder why the /418 ud has the same kernel as /413 & not the popular /412?
Also my Mx2 port won't work w/o /413.
edit This may have come about cuz the /412 has kernel 00007 & /413 has 00008.
Eclipse 1.3 was very stable in every way. Does not have all the goodies in 2.1 but is very stable. Cm7 is good also with a little massaging lol

Yes, I've checked my version it says 2.3.7
CadenH is referring to your kernel. It is from a particular blur rom & unalterable.
So for example if the rom wants you on 234 leak . Your kernel will be ...00005... & the rom replaces all but that & other locked partitions.
Has anyone heard/know of a fix for the LP icon changing in the MIUI ROM, I would say by far that the MIUI ROM has the most features and by far is the sexiest and one of the better ROM's out there. I am brand new to Android and have been in the iPhone Modding world for too long.
Once I get these files systems figured out and learn a little bit more, Ill be building and tweaking ROMs for the DX2

From what I'm seeing from the link you've post. I need to be on the one with the working wifi. I don't know how I get on 00007, I followed every direction. I'm confused now.
Well, I know everybody has a different opinion about "best". But my DX2 is getting slower everyday. It is running the stock 2.3.4 rom currently. I have had to pull the battery out multiple times in the past month just to get out of the frozen mode. That's no fun!
So, here I am looking for a new rom, wifi is vital to me since I use it all the time, well, pageplus does not give much choice. Camera/camcorder are also extremely important (so miui is out?). Other than that, the rom should be as stable as possible, as snappy as possible. With the stock rom, open each app is a painful waiting of 2-3 seconds.
Alright, folks, please recommend! TIA
Upgrade to 2.3.5
Flash Eclipse
Enjoy.

i've seen a few people say this. it must be an app issue. i only got the DX2 a few weeks ago, used stock for less than 35 minutes, then i flashed RC0 and RC1 CM7. I've had 1 FC related to Google Play Music, but other than that it has been smooth and fast. The lag when I sbf'd was pronounced, but i've had zero issues with CM7. are people restoring app data through TB or something? it just doesn't make sense that people could install the same rom the same way, then some say "fast; awesome" and others say "unstable; buggy."

Weird how some people have problems with CM7 and some have none. I've been running it over 4 weeks with zero issues. No FCs or anything. I used Pete's method of rooting and of course you have to load a special modified CM7 X2 Bootstrap after installing CM7. I'm just curious as to what could be the cause of some people having issues.

I have been trying out several different ICS ROMs on my phone for the last few months. Never had a GB custom ROM. I was on stock UCKK6 which came with my phone and then went on to the ICS roms.
I have tried almost all of the SGH-i777 custom ROMS - and MIUI as well.
Out of curiosity I decided to go back to Gingerbread so flashed UnOriginal ROM.
First thing I noticed - Damn this is smooth. Everything - browser, launcher, touch response - everything is smooth like a baby's butt.
So whats going on with ICS? why dont we have the same smooth experience on any of the ICS roms. Is it because the official source code has not been released yet? or is it resource heavy compared to GB?
Do not want to start a ROM comparison but just curious. Having moved back to GB I am not sure I am missing anything critical from ICS. Others might not share this opinion but this is what it is for me and the things I use my phone for.
I am still bitten by the flash bug - so will continue to try out the ICS ROMs.
What do all of you think about moving back to GB and the pros/cons? What ICS feature will you miss the most? Please share your thoughts!
<puts flame suit on>
I'm about ready to go that route myself... Becoming frustrated when I find a "perfect" ROM, only to have the wlan_rx wakelock come back and drain my battery into nothingness. My favorite GB is Shishir's - Fairly stock, but with some nice tweakability, and have never run into the same battery probs.

It is a personal choice.
In here, in this world, whole universe, no one forces you to do what you don't want to.
Once in a while, I still heard some people saying "Windows 3.1 is so much better than Windows 7".
It is purely your choice so no need to put the flame on.
It's good that seeing you in fact trying out a few different ROMs and finally made the decision on your own.
That's a good sign for all of us.
I've had the same experience as well. I'm not so sure if it's issues with the roms but more with the Kernels. There is a lot involved to tune the kernels just right. I'm no developer but I believe ICS may just be a little more complex this GB.... or at lease ICS is not so forgiving.... I'm not developer so who knows.
On a side note, I just tried the PARANOIDANDROID v1.1 port so far this has been on the same level as smoothness as any GB rom I've ran. Link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660974
I even found a port for my SGS Captivate and wow.... its 10x better then the GB rom. So this rom has something going on that I'm going to keep testing out. You may want to give it a try as well.
Im still on unnamed and ics has a few system changes like scrolling and touch screen responsiveness that make it how it is

Binnacle is also damn smooth. That was my personal favorite GB rom.
Every time I flash an ICS rom, I immediately go running back to GB. Maybe it's just me being impatient and not letting things "settle in", but most ICS roms I've tried aren't as quick and smooth, and that just gives me an anxiety attack

I did try Binnacle Beta 7 yesterday. I did not realize it had android 2.3.6. I somehow like the bounce effect in 2.3.4 that the UnOriginal ROM offers. Hate the glow effect in 2.3.6. Also, personally I felt UnOriginal was smoother than Binnacle (no offense) - just my opinion.
I did not leave it on long enough to comment about battery life. I flashed a different ROM. Seems like I am turning into a Flashaholic (need to restrain)
My progression:
Unnamed, then MIUI then CM7 then CM9. Doubt I'll ever leave CM9.

I would recommend eternity 3.5. Its smooth fast and has plenty of customisation.

It depends if she likes sense or not. I've been running eternity which is a sense 3.5 rom which runs excellent, stable and fast. And for aosp I've run thundershed cm7.2. Very quick and stable. Another cm7.2 based rom to check is the new rom zombie. I just loaded it up and so far is awesome. Has a nice red theme to it.

That 3.5 Rom drains crazier then a rat in outhouse. In ten minutes lost 10% then lost more about the same rate. This Rom needs to be fixed.as that is not stable. Seems as is stock os the best on the battery, and that is sad. Also your my Verizon app won't work which is another area of concern with limited data and shared plans we need to have an app that works. UNACCeptable people to have those two issues. My Verizon app is not.bloate as it gives vital account information.

Once again, the fool is wrong!
My Verizon works fine on Eternity....
Guess you just have to know how to click an icon and enter your user info.
I guess that's too hard for some people.
Dont listen to this idiot. He doesn't know how to set a rom up to save his life so don't pay attention to what he says. He has been banned twice already. Eternity gets better battery life than any rom i have tried. That includes stock which has horrible battery life.

You force me to agree with the troll, damn it! I have to qualify your statement with: 'which eternity'? I was very happy with 248 but when I updated to my battery life dropped down to 5 - 6 hours(!) with no change in the setup.
I'm getting over 14 hours of battery life with Gingeritis 3d by comparison and the phone is getting the same or more use.

Yes, r248 had better battery life then the latest test builds.
Why is that you ask?
As I stated in the Eternity thread, the newest build has a test kernel from Ziggy based on the latest OTA, as is the new test build Rom.
That kernel has an identified and known issue where the Performance and On Demand governor are locked at Max, no matter what you do.
The solution:
Change governor to Lag Free, or install Imos 6.2 kernel for Mr4 based roms, or the Bamf 3++ kernel.
Then apply your preferred CPU settings.
Battery use should return to as good or Better then r248.
The new kernel in the Rom is being reworked currently to resolve the issue.
So, the concern is with the kernel, more so then the Rom.
As far as Gingeritis having better battery life, I don't doubt that any Sense 3.5 Rom is going to be somewhat more draining on our devices/batteries.
Im talking about r248 but i still had decent battery on the test builds.

Your explanation is very much appreciated but......
I never thought I'd say this and it's subject to change from hour to hour...... I'm pretty much stuck on Gingeritis 3D, getting up in the AM, subjecting the phone to fairly heavy use and seeing 50% battery or more remaining when I go to bed is something I thought I'd never see after abandoning my BB for Android and.....
I seem to have lost my enthusiasm for messing with this phone for some reason? Every thing works now with Thunderstick BB or Eternity or Liquid or ???? and the only reason I change from one ROM to another is some minor annoyances and battery life so.... I think maybe I'll leave well enough alone.
I'm saving my flashing desires for when the devs get ICS with Sense 4.x, I'll don't think I'll flash ICS with Sense 3.x and I might just wait for Jellybean?
I have about forever left on my contract and then we'll see what's up.
So it changed as I said it might! Tried the Bamf kernel and battery life is back to normal.
Up until yesterday I had been running the Thunderstick GenII rom for the last 6-7 months (been running Thunderstick roms since last September..when Verizon bricked my phone with their update). It is a very stable Sense rom, and the only issue I had with it was my custom ring tones would sometimes get confused. The only reason I upgraded was to try something new (now running Thunderstick FullBlown) and I am half tempted to go back to the GenII just because it has some features I like that the FullBlown version does not.
Been running ThunderStick ROMS (FB, BB) for a good while... They just work on my phone. YMMV. Flashed SfKCM7 (AOSP) last nite and it runs real smooth... Gonna ride with this til I get the itch :beer:

I have been running urban nonsense forever. Everything works and I keep telling myself I am going to go to something else but I never do. I think the dev's (R3D's) roms are all great actually. Check them out.

No matter what rom I try I always end up back on Skyraider. It's the fastest sense rom I've ever used.
