I hate hate hate hate HTC sense! I want a stock launcher and all the "nonsense" off my Rezound. What Rom is my best solution without giving up any functionality of the device. I don't want crappy signal and intermittent data I've been getting from asop. I also would like the ability to WiFi tether. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also I've been looking at cm9 linario rage. Is that a solid Rom or does it also contain the reception issues of asop?

I've been using Neo's Rage for a while without any signal issues, the native tether works, and its fast. I also dislike Sense and this has been my favorite alternative so far.
There has been talk of an update before the weekend also, with updated Linaro
Yep, definitely Ineff Deus. It's been my daily driver for months. I've tried flashing other ROMs and have come back to it every time within a day.

Well honestly, either way you go, senseless or AOSP, your gonna run into some bugs. This is because AOSP is only about 92% stable. The problems in a Sense based rom that has been desensed may be an issue. I can't give you a list of bugs you would see, but basically they would be there. When a rom is desensed, some key elements of the rom are removed. When these things get removed bugs appear. Your not gonna find a perfect rom, but if you can deal with a couple bugs here and there, then I am positive you will find plenty of good roms on the forums.
since when does aosp have reception problems.
SlimKANG 2.1 for my favorite "senseless." I bounce between that and EclipticRez, but SK 2.1 has no issues that are not by design that I notice.
Awesome, then I know what to try and what to look for. My 5th droid 3 died and the 12mo warranty was up. I had to buy another phone and HTC makes solid phones and this had great specs. This phone was $200 and in excellent condition and couldn't pass it up. I figured I'd just flash aosp, but the phone came with cm9 and data was in and out never stable, dropped calls, and signal sucked. Flashed latest original RUU and now I want to S-OFF and go sensless.
Thanks for your advice. Greatly appreciated.

Adrenaline 2.0. Neo is a fantastic dev, and a great guy. He answers questions about his work no matter how basic, and will help you with any problems. Also, Dragonstalker's Rezone Redux is an awesome Senseless rom. To be honest, there isn't a single bad senseless rom out there. The dev community here has those whipped.
Make sure that you aren't using the wrong network settings with CM9, most of the people with data issues that I helped straighten out, actually caused their data issues without realizing it. The AOSP network settings are slightly different from what you would use on sense. If I remember correctly it's the second and fourth options that you use. Somebody running AOSP will need to confirm that though.

I have yet to mess around with the official ICS ROM due to my carrier not providing it yet. But from what I have seen it looks awesome and can't wait to test it out. I am currently playing with the ICS NonSense RC1 ROM by VladBelsky, I love the stock look and feel of ICS.
like ics. dislike sense 3.6. wish we had 4.0
I think people tend to exaggerate about how much better it is.
It's a definite improvement, but, if it had the same menus/look as GB.. You wouldn't really notice much difference. It's still worth using tho

It breathed new life into the Evo 3d. I still dislike sense but it will be enough to hold me over until the next Nexus.
Aside from my personal dislike of sense it does run great though. I wish they didn't ugly up the notification bar and change around the settings but for the most part sense doesn't detract from the ICS experience. Battery life is exceptional and it seems to perform better at stock clock speeds than any other rom I have used @ 1.7ghz.
I roamed a bit yesterday and don't seem to get data while I'm roaming but that could be an issue on my part or area.

If you've flashed the virgin mobile firmware, thats why.
i haven't had much of an enjoyable experience so far, i don't really have signal issues unless you include occasional LoS but no notice in decrease of signal strength.
I'm mostly disappointed with the mobile network settings missing that would allow me to enable data roaming, i have flashed Chubbzlou's Booster but that begins to FC and have performance issues after a day or 2 with the annoyance of Bluetooth issues.
not to trash one ROM, they all so far have the same issues and i can't find one to make my daily.
i am looking forward to sense 3.6 as it looks really good and has some great features.
i will politely and contently await the sprint leak or the official release, hopefully the firmware release included with the sprint leak will fix my "virgin mobile" banner

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.

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:

We have great devs across the board for the Rezound and each offers something unique and cool for their ROMs. I would say try several and figure out what works best for you. I have used ViperRez, Nils Business Sense, Newt's, Neo's AOKP and NeoMax, Vigor, and Ineffabillis (current). I like them all and find certain aspects of each appeal to me. S-off opens a whole new door of possibilities. Have fun and enjoy the hunt.

I'd vote for either of Nils' ROMs. I'm running his Sense 4 ROM right now and the only bug I've found is that every now and then Facebook authentication fails and I have to log in again. That happens every other week or so. Battery life is really good, but I think all Sense 4 ROMS are pretty good on battery.

I have tried ClearRom4.5 and used it for a while, then I tried ViperRez1.0.3, Newts, and currently I am using Vigor360.
Honestly, if the camera will be stable in the ViperRez1.0.3, I would be still using it. So far, it is the ROM that gave me better battery life compared with others and it is very smooth imo.
I installed Newts and I was astonished with all the things loaded in there. Great ROM. Ubber stable. The camera is fast and didn't see any issues. Everything works in there. My only complain was that compared with other ICS ROMs it seems that it lags a bit for me and the battery drains faster than any other ROM I tried.
Because how stable is this ROM, I tried a couple of Kernels to see if I could get the same smoothness that I got with previous ICS ROMS. No luck!!
I just installed Vigor360 about a week ago and it is great too. Battery consumption is way better than Newts but less better than ViperRez. But the ROM is flawless and smooth. Probably same or better than ViperRez.
Benchmark in Quadrant Standard with all 4 different ROMS (with their original Kernels) gave me the average of:
- CleanRom4.5 **3100
- ViperRez 1.0.3 ** 3600
- Newts ** 2900
- Vigor360 **3100
Now, if we can have an ICS ROM that is stable as Newts, with the battery life of ViperRez and the smoothness of Vigor360, then we will have a winner.
If you don't need Sense, try Miui. The UI is very clean and smooth.
+1 for ViperRez. Stable, fast, and great battery life. Been using it since the end of July, & haven't looked back. Sense 4 is awesome. Now using it with DSB's kernel, which also works great. Camera and camcorder both working fine. Only "issue", if you want to call it that, is the data arrows not working, but you will see that with any of the Sense 4 ROMs, and to me, it is a non-issue. Awesome.
Oh, also, the Kindle app force closes, which has been reported, but again, no big deal to me, because I have my Nexus 7 for that, LOL.
Good luck, and enjoy.

Thank ya'll for all the replies. I'm kind of afraid to do the s-off thing right now, so i'm sticking with just unlocking and roming. So far the only one I've tried is Neo's Rage1.2 and its pretty awesome. When the screen is off it barely has battery drain at all. I'm interested in trying viperrez, but I think i read that he is about to release an update soon so I'll probably wait until it comes out. But an example of the battery life of rage1.2: I have the standard battery, its been off charge for 16h 47 min, with 1h 1 min screen on time and i'm sitting at 37% battery. Granted a lot of that time was with data off when i wasn't using it, but when I had the screen on data was on. Just figured I would throw that out there for anyone interested.
You've just got to try the ROMs man. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but there are one thousand threads about "best" ROMS, and each is equally useless. Your device, tastes, and desires are going to determine which ROMS are most successful for your setup. I can almost guarantee that if you flash ANY rom in the development thread that it's going to be great. Just a heads up, it's best to refrain from discussing "best" ROMS. It just pisses devs off.

I hope that it didn't offend anyone. I was just wondering what people that are using the ROMS thought about which one would be good for me based on what I was needing.

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

Skyraider always bootlooped or the radios were horrid and drew no signal for me for no reason even after clean flashing so I swapped over to the ikream ones personally

Thats odd. I've used it for a long time with no issues. I use the .19 radio with it.

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.

I have been running on Sky Raider and once I got the right radio, I had no issues. Pretty solid

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

I sent you a private message with the link. Not sure if I am allowed to post it in the forum. If anyone else needs it just PM me.
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)

I found basically all sense roms to be laggy except for Skyraider. I'd recommend it to anyone.

My fallback is in my signature, I like it cause it's tweakable and just works.
Infection has been great, especially now that video tearing is a thing of the past.

i can say that most of the rom out there with enuf good feedback are very good
also with a bit of modding it can be better
based stock roms are most stable around
the ported roms that i can say near perfect are joel and suli really good coding and work done there maybe there more i didnt tried
MIUI suli's rom is very stable and fast that i tried for now
cm9 is kinda stable but not perfect
AOSP CM10 didnt have yet enuf experience
[ROM][CDMA/GSM][JB-4.2.2] Official XenonHD - RC [05.23.13][LINARO 13.04]
Been running so smooth. Unbelievable battery life. Not one reboot or lockup.
Surprisingly enough my absolute favorite rom of all-time:
For the Rezound:
Xtreme Outcast's v3.0 - The ORIGINAL desensed rom. Runs so much like an AOSP rom but you can tell it's desensed. For those who wish to try it (Use Go SMS/Handcent for texts)

For a different device:
Tied between Steel Droid & Sourcery for the Moto Droid1 (sholes)

PS: Yes I do still use the OG from time to time
So a good buddy over on chargeforums is sending me his old rezound with the Infection Rom on it. What do you guys think of it? The Charge has two Roms currently, and one coming, but the devs were limited due to how Samsung locked the ril (Radio Interface Layer) which prevented the devs from getting any sort of netutils and limiting what could be done.
HTC on the other hand, didn't, so I'm pretty excited to see what all you guys have. I may start asking questions once I get the phone, but for now I just wanted to see what you all thought if the Rom.

For the Rez, I love PAC personally, I like having ALL of the custom options!
Infection seems pretty popular too.

Me too! It's funny loading up the JB rom on that old of a device, but I mostly ran with Steel Droid on it.
I keep my OG Droid in my car, which was awfully convenient when my Rez got stolen, I had a fully operational phone in an hour!
I was a fan of the liberty series for DX/d2.

My Rezound has been on CM9 most of its life, and I just can't find anything else that even compares.
Ineffabilis 1.4 I believe it was a sense 3.6 rom.
ROM was loaded and probably one of the few that never gave me any problems.
@zourn
Its the only non tablet device i found with a honeycomb port lol
@Sutanrei
Sense 3.5; even though i liked that ROM. Still didn't stand out for me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
if it was for any device. i would say Redemption Rom for the incredible. On the rezound i would have to say its CM10.1
Ineffabilis Deus v1.2
I always landed back on it after trying every other ROM until CM10.1 Its almost a year old and every bit as good as it was the day it dropped.
Neo's INFECTION is great. Previously I would say version 2.3, but my favorite has to be his 2.6 Inverted Dev Edition.
Well I finally have the phone, and it came loaded with Infection 2.3 which I immediately upgraded to 2.6. I'm loving this phone! I haven't tried any other Roms or kernels yet though. I know this is probably asked a lot but, if all the big ROMs are AOSP based, how are they different? I cave from a phone with two ROMs and both had pretty big differences. Is it just the tweaks, or are there major differences that I just didn't see while reading through them?
