I am curious what everyone's favorite new jelly bean features are. I gotta say from using my Nexus I love the clock app. Its finally on par with HTC clock. Which is something I always go back to sense for.

Second that. As an extension, I love the quick reply in stock messaging and how it's assessable from the notification area.

One of the rezound jellybean users here should post a video of jb running on their rezound. I'd love to see it in action...see if it's as great as it sounds.
Thanks
Rezound, s-off, loving it.
My favorite feature is both project butter and the notification area.

Correct there are no public releases yet, jellybean is as stable as ICS in my opinion for what I use, but the developers are doing very extensive testing to make sure that the average user doesn't have any more risk flashing jellybean than they do with ICS. When it is released, its because Chad and the other guys working at the source level feel it's relatively safe and secure.

That's good top hear I've been bummed buy the lack of updates and stuff for the REZ lately. But its good to know is just because they are all working hard on getting us jelly bean.

I'm thinking that rezound development is better now than its ever been. We have aosp, senseless, sense 3.6, sense 4.0, sense 4.1 and a sense 4.5 test build. That's just OS versions. There's more roms actively being updated and developed now than I can ever remember. PM me if you have some questions on recommendations or where to find good roms.
I'm currently running Ecliptic Rez with a nice kernel snuzzo and hawknest built for that rom and there's an update getting ready to drop.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium.
I'd love to check out JB but I went back to a Sense 3.6 ROM (Rezone Redux) from Rage 1.9 because of issues with my phone not switching towers properly. I'd often lose data (especially when transitioning between 3G and 4G) and have to turn the radio off and on to get it back without having to wait forever. Airplane mode became my most used quick setting.

If so, let's do it here! Anyone tried this ROM yet? I remember for the OG EVO, he made one of the best ROMs there was. I'm assuming based on the time this took to drop that it will also be very impressive. I honestly haven't flashed it yet, but I'm curious how it is so far. Thoughts?

Looks like at this point it's just an optimized base and he doesn't want to do a ton to it because of the possibility of a new OTA soon.
Exactly what are people expecting on a sense rom that isnt already done?
I know for a fact that when it does drop with the new base it's gonna put every other sense Rom to shame

Ehh.. I'm not saying it won't be a kickass rom, but I doubt that. There isn't much difference in performance in any sense rom. Some have awesome tweaks, some are smooth.. Some might give slightly better battery.
In the end, regardless of the sweeping statements people claim.. Sense isn't gonna get but SO smooth and battery isn't gonna get but SO good. I love Miks roms, just wish people wouldn't overdo it.

Wait till he releases it with his miktweaks. Then viper 4g will have something to compete with
Sent from my EVO using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
Aren't all the tweaks pretty much like Leedroid Tweaks?
***Cooking The Work With Them Gloves On, So The Junkies Can Get They Grub On***
leedroid tweaks are what's built into viper - amaikam has some similar tweaks (ran his roms on the OG - guy's a monster - can't wait to try out his full rom when its done), but if you're looking for the original leedroid, that would be viper.
I thought they were Leedroid. I will try to learn how to do my own roms etc when I get a pc. I've been dying to make a rom called Kao Rom with help from all the beast developers like Virus, Leedroid, Toast (maybe), Mikeyxda etc. Then I'll be a great developer too, & give back to the community.
***Cooking The Work With Them Gloves On, So The Junkies Can Get They Grub On***
leedroid tweaks were developed by j4n87, who developed them into that pokemon rom (whose name I forget), who then worked with viperboy and vin on incorporating those tweaks into into the viper4g rom for the lte (and the other team venom roms).
Good luck with your rom - but if you really want to give back to the community, you don't need to be a developer, or even have a team (Team Transcendent, I guess? lol). Just be respectful, help people out, and try to leave xda a better and more helpful place for people to learn.
I loaded it today.
Been running MeanROM 2.6.
It has a setting in the settings to choose how you want your soft buttons mapped which is pretty cool.
It has Google Now built in like MeanROM.
And it has Sprint HotSpot enabled that actually worked for a while (I wanted a Bluetooth Tether) and could not get anything to work at all but it worked on this ROM (for a while).
I went back to MeanROM 2.6 for now because the built in Google Now has the same issues as MeanROM 2.7 and up (which has Google Now) in that it completely breaks Voice Dialing over bluetooth.
It has all the Rosie Mods too.
It's definitely more than a "base".

I guess but as someone that just got an evo lte, this thread helps me get started on picking a rom without getting overwhelmed by the myriad of choices in the dev section. and it's usually the case that the most popular roms are a good place to start for newbies. will check out tranquility, mean bean, & CM10.
Meanbean is also a good rom.

check for link to forum in the signature
viper rom is rumored to be updated soon,
Most of the sense dev's move to themikmik.com
might want to check with them over there.
I'm using Vexxum by who MIKE D right now. It's quite nice because of how stock it is as a whole. It feels almost as if this would be the stock Sense 4 ROM that came on the phone if the Rezound came with native Sense 4. Of course, there's a few minor bugs (like any Sense 4 ROM), and for whatever reason, I can't get One Browser to work on it.
I liked stang's pure CM10.1 kang, but the AOSP camera made me jump back because I needed to get good pictures of something last week.
I haven't tried EclipticRez because the opening post is long and confusing with excessive change logs, and mcluvin's se7en skin looks ugly as sin to me.
EclipticRez is about to be updated to sense 4.1,
I wouldn't hold my breath on viper being updated, he's been promising an update for over 6 months
Sense still lives. It just seems like there are a lot of dev's working on JB sense. Most of what we have for ICS has been taken to it's logical endpoint. Although I realize that not every bug has been worked out on Sense 4+, most of those ROMs are nearly 100% and rock solid. AOSP development is more exciting now. I come back to Sense from time to time, but the cutting edge is AOSP. And I've got to say, I'm a sucker for new; even if new means bugs. But believe me, once JB Sense drops, I'll be one of the first to try.

You would need to define your criteria for "best" first.
For me, "best" ROMs are ROMs that give me better speed, more features, and similar stability to stock. I also keep my devices for a pretty long time. So as they age I look to the community for support in keeping up to date. Hell, I still have a Tegra 2 tablet (Gtab) and my old Hero C laying around.
In this respect, I have had very good luck with ViperROM on the LTE. YMMV

Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
This is always going to be a question that never has the perfect answer. It depends on what you want/need. Go sense if you want the classic evo look and just want the basic experience its for people who don't care as much about making the device faster and better, they just want it to work and the only real reason they rooted it was to get rid of the bloatware. Keep it simple stupid. Honestly sense is fast, but aosp is is much more reliable and stable. Sense kernels have that small chance of corrupting your file system if and when your device crashes. It's a small chance but a chance none the less.
AOSP is by far the best for the ones who do want to unlock the devices full potential. AOSP (Android open source project) roms are more difficult to create and perfect but they give these devices more potential but its also up to the user to do his or her research. Don't flash or tweak even the slightest thing until you do your research and search xda and google. When you find a guide that of course isn't too old and you know you can trust it, read it over and over and bookmark it. Always search xda but never listen to the opinions of others until you test it yourself.
These rom creators work hard and they expect us to know what we are doing.
tl;dr - I will just say this, if your willing to spend more time to give you the best experience go AOSP. And if you go AOSP go CyanogenMod and nothing else. And for the kernel if you do wish to use a custom kernel I hightly recommend Komodo if you want an even better user experience.
Best rom is...
... the one that works best for you
FWIW. I love the ViperRom. Phone feels like it just "works" and, if I want, there are lots of customizations available.
That said, I just switched to HatkaLTE because I wanted to stay with a sense rom and it seems to me that the last update of ViperRom reintroduced the original rom's sensor problems on my phone. [I say seems because it's still not perfect, just better, on the HatkaLTE and maybe the hardware has developed a defect]. I can't say much about this rom yet because I haven't had it on my phone long enough and because I'm also playing around with different launchers at the same time.
Good luck!

IDK, but I'm really excited to install the new VIPERROM
Very, very excited. Hopefully it (re)fixes the proximity sensor problem, but if not, I have the init file all ready to solve the problem myself!
I have to agree with many of the posts, it's more of a personal taste question. I've run almost every ROM at some point, and I love the speed of AOSP, but like the features of Sense. There are a few key features that you lose on AOSP. After a whole lot of flashing, I've settled on SuperJelly Bareback, it strips out all the bloat of Sense while retaining those key features, and is almost spot on with the speed of AOSP. It's my happy medium. Good luck and happy flashing.
If you dont need Bluetooth, Sense 5. Otherwise Viper or Super LTE.
