Anyone know of a Desense GB rom built off the January OTA? Just wanting to dabble with themeing again, using one as a base. Latest one I can find is one of Scott's, and that's built off the release rom.
That's probably the last you will find. Most everyone has moved on to ICS.
Well crud. I may have to play around with re-basing then and/or desensing Cleanrom 1.7.5
Don't see why people stay on GB considering the quality of the latest ICS builds. Best move you will ever do.. Seriously! But to each their own.

I was actually going to say the same thing. Especially if you're a fan of Scott's CleanROM. CleanROM ICS Developer edition is a pretty solid DeSensed ROM.

I like to dabble. Didn't I mention that in my OP? Not going to use the rom as a daily. I already have a nandroid of ICS.

I was going to say Ineffabilis v1.4 I have been using it without any problems. Good, solid GB ROM, and I stripped it clean of any sense application (except the camera )
I'm just waiting patiently for the 'official' ICS update or s-off... whichever comes first =/ But for now, Ineffabilis it is

It's not Hate for GB. I had GB on my DX for the last year of it's life. So I'm over it especially since ICS has many more benefits than GB.

I do agree with you in that aspect. Found it not to be worth my time to mess around with theming again when the stuff looks good as is(Both ICS & GB).
Edit. started a new topic
looking for a good ROM with better results with battery life and of course stability. currently on Scotts Clean Rom 3.5 and looking for something with the new ICS update and firmware. Been looking around and just would like to hear some recommendations.

Try looking at the development section. If you want sense I'd recommend viperrez. I if you don't then use neomax. Also the cm9 and aokp roms are awesome but they are beta not completely working yet

Depends on if you like sense or de-sensed roms.
For sense I like CONROM and the OTA ICS plus rom from micromod777.
For de-sensed I like both of Neo's roms (fast as hell) or CONROM with the desense option in aroma installer.

For some reason I experienced a lot of lagginess with neos roms although I liked them a lot so I switched back to ViperRez I know benchmarks mean nothing but I couldn't break 5000 with neomax (antutu) and on viperrez I get a constant 6800 :what:
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Big fan of Neo's latest Adrenaline here, including battery life, it also appears smoother than 1.6 and below but it does appear to be more sluggish than Venom. Having said that however my battery life with the Venom rom was horrible and my phone heated up a lot..never have the latter issue with Neo's rom or Nils' Business Sense 3.6 v5.7 rom for that matter (highly recommend giving that a shot too)
I highly recommend using ElipticRez by hawknest

and i now bring you PAC 4.4.2 which so far has no major issues that i could find...there is a few things you can do to improve your battery life...but some cause slight decrease in perforance...partially why the rez isnt my main device anymore either...but it isnt stopping me from leaving its further developement anytime soon...ill stay with it till it simply cant work at all anymore
If you really like Sense, and don't care that is still ICS, consider EclipticRez ReVamped v9... it is rock solid and battery life is respectable to great for the Rezound. It has always been my go to ROM for the Rezound when I get frustrated with the little things about KitKat that plague the Rezound
That being said, I heard the @REV3NT3CH found a solution to the camcorder problem in KitKat on the Rez?!?!? WTG bro!!! The final major hurdle has been overcome!!!

Maybe Ill give that one a try...but yeah Its getting to be time to retire this one..just need to figure out how Im going to pay for a new device and keep my unlimited. Im wating to see the new Sansung to compare it the the M8. Plus I was trying to maybe get a few more months out of it to see what the new sonys look like and maybe the Minis. The new phones are getting a bit big for my taste
GSM ROM?
Not sure if I should start a new thread or add to this one.... I'd appreciate any recommendations on the best ROM to use would be on the Rezound with AT&T. I'm currently on Neo's Tachyon 1.2 and I like it a lot, but when I've tried it with a GSM SIM previously I couldn't get outgoing SMS to work.
Thanks!
non sense:
【ROM】【4.4.2】【UNOFFICIAL】CyanogenMod 11.0【04-06-14】【GPL】【HYBRID】
everything but camcorder works.
battery is pretty good especially considering how much tethering i do.

Try everolv, when you flash the ROM, then flash the gsm.zip that you can download. It allows you to use GSM servers. Via I think a change in the build prop. Or a lot of new Roms I think have GSM...

About 2 weeks ago I installed Ecliptic Rez V9 on our two Rezounds and I agree wholeheartedly with it being rock solid. It has a lot of features to keep me entertained for quite awhile.

I know that the best ROM would be based on personal preference. What I'm looking for is the most fully functional ROM. I've been trying different ROMs but I work so much I don't have the time I used to. Any insight is welcome and greatly appreciated.

In my humble opinion, if your talking about the most features it would be the Charmaleon ROM, your able to theme quite a few things because of a tweak add-on he has in the rom. It's on the third page of ROM developement.

Haha just a little welcome humor. ViperROM is pretty customizable.

I'll second ViperRom or MeanROM, if you're looking at ICS ROM's. With JB ROM's the verdict is still out, but Viper's base JB ROM works pretty well, as does MeanBean (the ROM I'm currently running). Not to say these are by any means the best, just a handful of the few I've tried since coming to the EVO LTE. It's all subjective, really, since what's best for one user may not be best for another.

Thanks for the input. I want to stick with a JB ROM but I travel so much with my job to places with horrible reception or Hotels with no wi-fi and then I get fc's or I start to loose certain functions and I have to go back to an older ROM. I think I'm going to designate a memory card to keep a few good ROMs on when I travel to nip it. I haven't tried Viper's base. I think that'll be my next ROM.

I'll put a third vote in for the Mean series. I've tried MIUI and CM10 recently, but I always end up coming back to the beauty of Sense. The dev on MeanRom and MeanBean is very active and has made it very simple to update to his newest version with an OTA updater.
That said, I am currently checking out the rEVOLTEd rom, with JB. I was particularly interested in how the dev used the AOSP vanilla version of Recent Apps switcher rather than the Sense version... The camcorder is not currently working, but it should be fixed in the next version. Other than that, it seems to be running very well.
Overall, there really are some great options out there for JB and ICS Roms.
meanbean is where its at!!

I've tried revolted. Good rom but I had trouble with my GPS signal and I use navigation often for my job. I've seen Mean ROM a lot so I'm downloading Mean Bean and Vipers JB ROM. Thanks for your input.
Thanks
Just want to say thanks to everyone who gave their opinions and input in this thread. I flashed Mean Bean and loved it. Problem was I flashed it wrong. Didn't upgrade to 3.15 firmware first. In the process of trying to do that I bricked, fixed, unlocked/ unrooted, upgraded, unlocked, rooted, and finally reflashed Mean Bean. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I've been so use to dropping roms on a sd and flashing I forgot one of the most important things about XDA. READ Instructions before flashing new roms. Thanks again to everyone who commented and gave advice. You helped me find exactly what I was looking for.

You Sir are absolutely correct. My favorite so far.
I tried both meanbean and stock w/ goodies and I really like the fluidity of meanbean. However, the battery life seemed like it was better on stock w/ goodies. I also used rom cleaner w/ the no-sense option on both of the roms so i'm not sure if that contributed to better speed or battery life. I decided to stick w/ meanbean! no fc or errors for me and everythings been running great!

Sense based or not.

Just find what works best for your phone.Results vary per phone. Most roms on here run like champs. It's all about personal preference.

Only downside to updating daily is that you need to redownload the whole rom. would be nice if there was an option for incremental updates as well
Mean ICS
I was very unhappy with stock JB on my phone. I lost the ability to charge and Bluetooth Pandora in my vehicle. I had just upgraded my deck 6 months ago. I was not looking forward to doing this again. It was well worth the effort to unlock my phone and learn how to program it myself. I tried JellyBam and CM10, but still did not recover from the connectivity issues. I am very happy to be back on ICS after 33 days of not being able to use the device in my car. Mean ICS rocks. I even donated to mikeyxda. Thanks to all you guys that develop.

Android programming noob:good:

well the OTA app works great it tells u when there is an update then u can download it wipe both cashes and ya good to go.. u dont have to set the rom up again or anything.. its pretty sweet :good:
Read each op and see which one sounds most appealing. Theyre all very good. I recommend jamieg71's pacman rom or mazda's slim bean for aosp and use thicklizard's komodo kernel with them. And team d3rp's superjelly and mikeyxda's meanbean for sense.
I am having a very good experience with Bad Seed's JB Tranquility. Great battery life.
The past few months I've really fallen out of the Android development community, and so I haven't been following any developments or anything like that.
I've been using CM10 almost the entire time, and I'm still completely satisfied with it. It's just simple and quick, and has everything you need. I've tried other Sense ROMs but they just feel too bloated to me. CM10 is lightweight and very, very easy to customize. All you have to do is install a theme from the market and you can change things up just like that.
Try them all and find out what's best for you.
Closing this as these threads always end up being a flame fest.

It doesn't work on the OTA or Global versions. It would only work on one of the the older ICS leaks. I've been trying to port it over for myself but it's tricky.

Ok, well then I may be out of luck. Rats! I hoped it would work because I am 4.0.3 but it is global. I am attaching a screen shot so if anyone reviewing this thread has a solution for me, I'd appreciate it. Also, I have tried many many custom ROMs but ultimately went back to a more stock solution. For me, it is just more smooth and reliable. I like the bells and whistles but I don't enjoy the lagging and freezing that I often experience with most custom ROMs. Flyhalf205 thanks for the feedback!
