Currently using Deranged9 but everything keeps freezing. With all the talk about ICS, I feel like 2.2 ROMs are going away.
Bionix has been tried and tested. I got great battery life too.
And its not surprising few 2.2 roms firmware almost 2 years old now.
So 2.2 gonna be outdated. Though I saw in forums someone did redux of bionic though.

Ive been seeing ICS and 4.0 roms, but im not sure how to use them or if it is any different to flash them. I thought they were similar to Cyanogen rom which had issues going back to earlier roms. Anyone know how the battery life is on ICS?
I installed these two ROMs due to popular demand but my experience has been less than satisfactory. Both ROMs are fairly laggy for me, especially when pulling down the status bar and sometimes when scrolling. I installed dodava's 5.4 on MeanROM but it didn't help. MeanROM ICS is noticeably faster for me but still has a few issues that gingerbread ROMs don't have. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

try mikROM 1.0, d3rp ICS, dropzeroc's ROM, booster shot, steal25's rom, or anything from team nocturnal...
ANY of those.... = win.
trust me.
MeanRom has always worked very well for me on both GB and ICS. You're probably find resolutions to the issues you've been having if you post in their specific threads.
People will always have their opinions and admittedly I'm just a noob but try out different ROMs and see what's best for you.
You'll find there's plenty of friendly and helpful people to be found whatever you choose. Good Luck!
MeanROM (I'm on 1.2) is running pretty smooth for me.
I was tempted to try MikVirgin (often very realiable developer too) but since there is nothing wrong with MeanRom I could not justify trying it out (yet).
I need to keep me flash-a-holism in check.
Ditto. Pretty laggy and jittery for the first couple uses but after a couple reboots it's been great.
Was gonna wait for the official ICS update for the thunderbolt but after 4months and numerous rumors not panning out im going to root and flash a rom any suggestions for the best daily driver ????
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

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

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 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)
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390077933525140703
For a different device:
Tied between Steel Droid & Sourcery for the Moto Droid1 (sholes)
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/steel-droid/
http://teamsourcery.com/moto-droid-1/
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.

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?

Haven't seen any update from joelz in a couple months. No update on Team Venom site either.
Anyone hear anything?
Joelz you still working on this?
From what I heard, most of the team moved to developing ViperRom for the HTC ONE X. It's a good bet they're either focusing on the HTC DNA or the ONE now.

I'm running Infection 2.5 as a daily driver and have very few issues with it. When's the last time you visited the JB ROMs? Even camera and video playback is fixed now.
I heard some rumors about that, but couldn't find any hard evidence. It looked like they were even testing a beta version. And then nothing... I hoped they would at least be more forthcoming about ditching the Rezound if that's what really happened.

Last version I tried was 2.3, but I've been following the threads and it still seems like people are having issues. I heard camera was still messed up. I just can't go to grab my phone and have core functionality not work. I ,might give it a try again soon...but I'll be honest. I think I like sense better than aosp. Never thought I'd say that.
That's really the reason viperrez is so great. Its the most stable non-stock ROM I've ever used. I haven't had a bug in over a year of running it and it offers better features and battery life than stock. There is no reason to not be running it.

ViperRez had no support after its initial release. After about 8 months of empty promises of an update they finally closed the thread and were supposedly going to reopen it when the update was ready. But of course it never came and the closing of the thread was the final nail in the coffin.
Try EclipticRez. It's fantastic. Smooth and the support is awesome. New version just came out last week.
Team Venom is on the One and DNA
They ditched it as soon as the next Verizon HTC device came out and do what he said eclipticrez is way better than viperrez hands down

the only, and i mean ONLY thing viperRez has over ecliptic rez is the visual customization: icons, sense colors, statusbar, etc
also consider that everything sense on viperRez is downscaled to qHD (it really shows in the music app, for example).
Better support all around.
Also, Joelz DID update the rom, but it's in eternal beta and you have to get his permission from the viperRom forums or something
