So the threads are a mess around here as to what's being updated and what's the most stable rom ETC.
Basically I tried both the liquid smooth roms. the first one I used worked great for a week then 4G stopped working all together, tried twisted liquid smooth version or whatever it was and I've not ever had 4G on it.
so it's been...a good...few weeks since I've had working 4G which is getting aggrivated. It appears there isn't a fully working ICS rom yet which leads me to believe I'll have to go back to Gingerbread.
So what ROM should I use.

Oh crap my bad lol, I'll ask for it to be moved.
Agree with moving to Q&A.
For me, SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 has been the best.
But, for experimentation, I am currently running the HTC ICS leak. No tethering, but fine otherwise.
I would love to see CM10 Jelly Bean. It rocked on my Kindle Fire.

haha oh funny story about that rom. I recently used it for 2 weeks, had issues, sucky reception, never once could get 4G apps crashing etc etc and I was getting annoyed and when I Saw someone say there was an update for it and it was in first post I looked at the top of the download link and I'm like wtf that's the sam......oh....oh wait....he puts the most recent update at the bottom...not the top like everyone else....I've been using a Rom from 10/22 for the past week haha. Then I was like oh...well lets install the new one and wallah, fixed every single one of my issues lmao.
How well do these suggested ROMs work with tether? I'm using my phone for my internet currently, and need something that runs well with rooted. Currently I'm running BAMF SoaB 4.0, and find it has good days and bad days, but my phone is stable, and that's good enough for me. But, if there's is something better for running a rooted tether with, I'm all ears.
If it's aosp you want this is the most up to date reliable rom I've found. My daily driver!

I have a stability fetish. I like my ROMs S-T-A-B-L-E.
If sense rom skyraider seemed the most stable for tethering. Ics sense nusense has been pretty stable. Aosp I am using shiftao5p 2.8. It's an old rom but tethering seems pretty good and has better signal reception over other aosp roms.
Best way is to just get titanium backup and back up all your apps so you can restore all your apps+data and lose nothing.

Yes, the camera works fine. Video as well....
I also have kids and won't tolerate missing those special moments.
With SOAB I ended up alternating between Wifi Tether, Barnacle, and Open Garden, trying to find the most stable and best performing one. When I switched to Thundershed (an AOSP ROM) I found the tethering that came with the ROM was rock solid (as is Thundershed itself). I am currently using NuSense and Wifi Tether works flawlessly (I believe NuSense comes with Wifi Tether, but I uninstalled and then re-installed from the Play Store). Just make sure to follow the instructions in the OP.

Yes, both the camera and camcorder work perfectly on NuSense. In fact, one of the advantages of NuSense being a Sense-based ROM is that the camera seems to work better on Sense-based ROMs (seems to take sharper, brighter pictures). I think some of the AOSP based ROMs switch cameras, eg to MIUI cameras.
I have definitely noticed that my photos from SkyRaider (over the past year +) are much sharper and with less noise than they are now on the new AOKP JB ROM.

I don't know if this will help you but I did a factory reset before flashing it. I don't know why, I usually dirty flash all his. I just decided to this time. Also I don't know if anyone else has tried but I finally took the S off plunge after flashing. I did not have any issues with the 3.6 build. Every other build kept saying can't find bamboo.
3.6 is what previous Rom suppose to be. I mean this thing is running great with no known problem for me. Older Rom I was not able to watch hd quality YouTube directly from the browser ( desktop mode), this 3.6 play up to 1080p perfectly from browser.

I thought u had to revert to original base before running lazy panda.. also is anyone still having their SD card gettin wiped ? Thinking about doing it although I'm on 1.12 so no rush
MeanRom 3.6 is by far the best version so far and I've been running MeanRom since the first release. The people that are having problems are the ones that can't update their firmware properly. This is an early release of the new base and Mikey doesn't have all of his tweaks ported over yet. But it is definitely better than stock, and more solid than the others. I am s-off so the upgrade was seamless. The other great thing about MeanRom is you can dirty flash every version. No need to factory reset for each version.

I think it is the smoothest of all his releases. While not all his tweaks are ported over to the new baseband it still an awesome Rom and once he gets tweaks ported it will be even better. Give it some time. I usually dirty wipe all Mike's updates but I decided to clean wipe because of the baseband change. I did that when we went from 1.13 to 1.22 as well don't ever have problems. Great Rom hands down. Flash it, love it, enjoy it!

But browsing and reading up a little but still confused on whats available??? Would love to try jelly bean but i can settle for ICS
Battery life, speed and stability are the important points for a daily driver
Whats you suggestions????
I know I'm gonna regret it as soon as i root and flash the official update will probably come out but i remember when i first rooted my OG droid I never went back so what you guys suggest??? also next upgrade will probably be taking the nexus 4 to straight talk but wanna get a few more months out of my Thunderbolt u would think HTC would want to keep the customers that run out and bought the first 4G device but i guess all they really care about is our money.

If you're looking for an ICS build there really is no amazing one yet, but Liquid's is the best you will find with Nusense a close second. My personal recommendation for a daily driver though is Thundershed, or any of the roms from reds. I am running ikream nosense and enjoy it a bit. There is also the sense based offering of it both are pretty nice. Depending on what rom you go with there are kernels and things like that to pick up from there.
If you want something bug free i recommend Skyraider zeus 1.3. Thats what im using with the lean kernel. Its very smooth. Plus there is a sweet ics theme for it. Throw in halo launcher aswell and you pretty much have the complete look and feel of ics and bug free. Everything works perfect on this rom

As was I. I just assumed my phone had aids though since it sees to work quite well for a lot of users
Proving again that all Thunderbolts are different, don't know why, but each responds differently to different ROMS.
To the OP, remember! Flashing is cheap, don't hesitate to try several ROMs before deciding on one you like.
I lean toward the NuSense but battery life isn't quite what I need... <sigh>
Another hearty recommendation for SkyRaider 1.3.
I've been evaluating lots of other ROMs and radio combos. Nothing has been as solid a daily driver as SkyRaider Zeus.
I'm really working at using Twisted's AOKP ICS, but my Bolt doesn't love it. I keep getting data hangs, and have to reset the radios via Airplane mode off/on.
And the leaked Sense ICS was way too battery hungry for me.

LiquidSmooth 3.2:good: with the .19 radio. It has been my daily driver for almost a year now. Way better than any current ICS rom for the mecha. No problems, everything works. And it all works plenty fast enough.
If you really want a solid ROM with everything working great, Sky Raider is excellent. Especially since I like having a good camera and video camera. Nice to have everything work perfectly. I love AOSP, it is very fast, but you don't get the same functionality (dont get me wrong it is very close, but small things like camera are just not quite as good) you do with Sense. I hate sense but skyraider really is a great ROM

You should check out Twisted's new rom. I haven't had any problems with it and it's the smoothest rom I've had in awhile.
So can anyone give me a rundown on the differences on these ROM's? I've seen Liquid 3.2, Thundershed, and Skyraider mentioned here. Which are Sense based and which are AOSP. Are the Sense based Rom's laggy? I've tried NuSense, and it was a nice ROM, but just too laggy for my taste. I've tried Jesters and Twisted's 11-7 version of Liquids ICS ROM, and they've been great, but I'm having too many bluetooth issues which will interfere with work so it's a no go if I can't simply turn on the bluetooth and let it connect.
I understand flashing is supposed to be quick and easy so just try them all, but it seems to take me several hours to get everything backed up, flashed, and put back the way I like it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have only used LiquidSmooth 3.2. It is a Gingerbread AOSP. Any Sense ROM tends to be very laggy on either of my Thunderbolts. And all of the ICS ROM's seem to have at least one problem or another that keeps it from being my daily driver(bluetooth, wifi, camera or camcorder especially!)
It all depends on what you can and can't live without on a DD. Most of the Gingerbread ROMS's shouldn't have many, if any, issues. Some may be slightly slower than others and look different but all should make a good DD. The current ICS ROM's for the mecha are extremely fast, but usually lack in the camcorder or wifi department.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905083 has most of the ROM's linked(except LiquidSmooth3.2 Not sure why all the links to it were removed, Liquid is the Man tho and gotta respect his decision)

Its simple the stock clock speeds are to low to run sense 3.6 ICS. That's why it is sluggish. To fix is to root your phone as from what I read there is only one way tho root. Then you can flash either ICS or GB ROM. Santod has a good sense ICS ROMs but waiting for HTC to release the source code so a custom kernel can be made to allow over clocking. That's what sense ICS needs to run better.

Better yet, just wait till the source is released. Santod working on current DeSense version of ICS. Once source is released we can have a real AOSP version of ICS. If you like Sense then your probably out of luck, its so heavy it is hard to run anything other than Sense alone without hogging the memory. Look at your memory, if your under 100, thats when it really get bad, at least for me it took more than a minute just to load messaging.

As much I'm iffy on Sense, the stock ICS OTA (rooted/debloated version of course) seems to be the most stable ICS ROM at this point for me, but I'm downloading the Ice Ice Baby since it's based on the OTA, not the BAMF leak. I haven't had much speed issues with it, granted I can feel Sense's heaviness during operation of my Tbolt, but sometimes it feels faster than the BAMF leak based AOSP ROMs..

Thanks for the tip. Frankly, I didn't know there were alternate launchers for non-rooted phones. The push of ICS on my stock Thunderbolt slowed things down to a crawl. I'm back on the forums looking for solutions and was hoping to find an easy (ha!) way back to Gingerbread with a root and one of the ROM's, but Apex has at least made ICS usable. Too bad it didn't import all my shortcuts, but that's a small price to pay to gain usability again.

I'm a real noob, although with a technical background in computers. So I followed your link to the instructions to root and install a clean ICS ROM. The very first thing it says there is to have S-OFF as a requirement, but no links to do so. Since you followed his procedure, what did you use (link please) to get S-OFF?
Link the the thread for instructions to get an unlocked bootloader and s off with its. This takes a while to do so set aside some time when you're ready. Read the guide completely and do NOT do this out of order.

Battery life is abysmal.
System runs slow, even after recent factory reset.

If you don't care so much about features but want more stability, go for a stock/moto-based ROM.
I'm using LiquidSmooth. It's Android 4.2.2 and I use it as my daily driver. Only problems I have are random freezes and reboots, but the benefits if this ROM way outweigh that problem.

Liquidsmooth and carbon rom are very good roms my recommendation is liquidsmooth cuz its stable and abt random freezes u have to disable lockscreen by setting it to none....
I have been a cyanogenmod fan since my old Droid X. When I went with my Razr MAXX I was disappointed that it wasn't available, so I settled with Arctic for a good long while. I really liked the ROM, however as soon as Cyanogenmod was available I jumped on board ASAP. The only thing they don't have working is the HDMI output, but I don't use that feature anyways, so who cares.
Anyhow,,,,,,,,,,,, the instructions are VERY easy to follow and I have very little trouble with it. It's not what they call a stable release, but then in my opinion it's still way more stable than many others I've tried!

I recommend BW v2, aviator with stock kernel and Eclipse
the last one is the best from my point of view, only think is it needs verizon christmas leak kernel
if you can flash this kernel, try eclipse
PACman is pretty good.

Completely agree with you there, Eclipse is probably my favorite Razr Jellybean rom! Great performance, great battery life and just the right amount of visual adjustments!
I'm thinking of jumping to the CM nightles, but the new LOTK Rom seems pretty sweet as well.
I've also been thinking of trying out the cleaned up TW ROMs (cleanROM and Hyperdrive). Not really sure what Hyperdrive is, though....
so, yeah. What ROM are you using? Pros, cons?
Running the Jellybeans rom . Everything is running great no issues at all.
I'm running Hyperdrive. Love this ROM!!! I'm also running it on my Note 10.1 and ran it on my SG3. Super smooth and lots of customization options.
Hyperdrive here too.......lots of options to tweak and runs smooth as buttah!
Tried a couple
I tried CM Nightly and AOKP yesterday (both based on stock Android). Both seemed like they were getting close to good daily driver. I'm looking for something based on stock. Both seemed to have GPS issues and AOKP had camera issues as well. I really liked the features on AOKP. (I used to run AOKP on previous phone a GNex). I'll be trying AOKP again soon to see if some of those issues are fixed.
What I really want (may be fantasy) is a stock (or at least stock looking) rom that still has IR blaster, Pedometer & maybe some of the camera features. I also want (again, maybe fantasy) a rom that allows super easy transfer of apps and app data to SD. Right now it looks complicated to transfer and maintain apps on the SD card, especially if one flashes new roms often.

Which rom is this? does it require anothr kernel?
roms
I have run gruesome, hyper drive and beans. ( I think I am an addict. ) they are all really cool. I love the one button kill which is in both gruesome and hyperdrive. beans is also very nice with full blocking mode enabled in one of the framework mods . beans lacks the one button kill though. I have run the faux kernel against all of these a recommend that. I would like to try clean rom next then some of the original development. I love some of the TW fluff. Having said all that, I tried the gruesome wolf rom first so it had to be changed to try more. but I would have probably stuck with it. it was super stable and I am new at this but the thread is super quiet. my money is that their release three will be dope.

I believe the dev recommended on of the two mod kernels. but I ran it without as well. I loved it with faux
I'm on the stock rom. Rooted and flashed a few mods (and added toggles). It's perfect for me and I never lost any data (didn't have to wipe) or apps.
cm nightlies running great for me

Using CleanRom 1.1 with Ktoons kernel. If I play it right I think I can get about 6hrs of screen on time.

I am also using 'Beans' Rom. Fantastic so far. Flashed it with ktoonsez' kernel and it flies. No issues at all. I like to put Nova launcher on it to get that stock vanilla feel while still having the features and functionality of TouchWiz. Dev did a great job debloating the rom as well. All the useless apps Samsung put on the phone (amazon, trip advisor, etc) were removed. Also the ongoing wifi notification icon is gone which really bugged the crap out of me. All in all, best rom on my GS4 so far. Highly recommended. :good::highfive:
Hyperdrive here damn rom is beast. I'm having np here been my dd since release :thumbup:

I'm watching that thread, but waiting for it to get out a few releases first. I've seen PA in various other areas of XDA (for use on other phones) so I'm confident that its going to be a great ROM even though I haven't personally used it.
With that being said, right now I'm on rooted stock but once Hyperdrive RC3 is released I'll be flashing that (still need to figure out what kernel is recommended)!
I'm currently using CM. It's good so far. I'd be using Hyperdrive, but I get stuck on boot (Samsung Galaxy S4 logo, no padlock). I'm happy with it though, it's a great rom. Spend a day with each rom that seems interesting to you before you make up your mind on what you want to use.
CM is the only ROM I run. I love it.

I'd love me some somewhat-stock Android (CM or AOKP) but I just love some of the TouchWiz features too much. I don't use any of the gimmicky stuff, but the camera really has some nice things that stock can't even come close to touching.
Hyperdrive ROM for me
