Has anyone been using a ROM for HTC EVO 3d they love?. I'm looking for a ROM that is fast (snappy), saves battery, everything works great, and tips the charts on linpack and benchmarks that comes with an outstanding kernel that is 100% working with the ROM. If you think your using this or may have found one please let me know. Thanks.

Try LeeDroid 3. There is no custom kernel yet.
I swear by CleanROM DE. Easily adjustable OC, everything works, good battery, and the dev is really helpful and friendly.

Try EvoZoneRed_2.3.4...
I've been using it for a while, its Good!
Best ROM has to be viper ROM. It's super fast and its actually beening upgraded to the 2.34 version and its getting tested. That's for sure the best ROM out there.
Go with deck's, stable,reliable,and battery life is amazing. Unfortunately, he seems to have disappeared for a while now...
Deff warm twopointthree. Still in beta, but it's by far the best looking rom. stable. Lots of features and. Cm7-like customization. Good battery too.

Best ROM I have used is still ViperROM
I tried out a bunch of roms today, coming from stock rooted and then steel 2.2 which I ran till this weekend. I'm looking for a stable daily driver, but since I was flashing anyways I decided to try out some of the new features out there. Keep in mind I used each rom probably for less than 30 min, so I am really just giving a first impression on what I liked. Also, I didn't take battery into account, which has been great for me stock, rooted, or otherwise.
JoelZ9614 - Runnymede sense 3.5 port v1
Sense 3.5 is great. It runs noticeably smoother than stock sense 3.0, and most custom roms running sense 3.0. By smoother I mean when you swipe screens and the carousel. The beats splash is the coolest splash I've seen, and the beats audio feature has a noticeable difference in how the device sounds, even if it is just eq'ing it fits my style of music to make it sound better. My first install froze up a bunch, requiring battery pulls, that was after wiping everything once. Second time I flashed this rom I wiped multiple times, may have even ran a superwipe type zip. Second time didn't have the lock ups, everything seemed to be in order. Updated widgets and menus make sense 3.5 desirable - even if it isn't much of an upgrade to 3.0. I didn't notice if this rom had the new 3.5 homescreen widgets, it was outfitted with the updated sense clock but that was it. Still very nice, and was my favorite rom of the bunch. It needs camera/3d/4g to be a viable option for me, which I hope is fixed soon with all the people working on sense 3.5.
Virus - Infected Rom Eternity RLS 1.2.2
I was very impressed by this rom as well, I've used Virus's roms on my 4g and like his work a lot. The smoothness through screen on this rom was very comparable to the sense 3.5 rom, more smooth than overclocked roms I tried. Beats audio works well on this rom also. The extra tweaks/options included in this rom make it really great - it's something that us rom flashers really need to appreciate, easy customization is great for me as someone who doesn't want to keep messing with stuff and than seeing how it looks and then having to flash/edit more files to check it out again. This rom is fast and smooth, and has a lot of transition effects that are different than other roms. I wasn't too fond of the way dialogue boxes popped in kinda sideways, but everything else was awesome, particularly the animation when pressing the back button and exiting screens. The animations do make everything feel smoother and more polished, and there's a lot of features added to this rom that work. This rom had less free ram than some other options out there, but similar to stock/stock based roms. I don't think this is a bad thing, as everything ran quickly and smoothly, but may account for lower benchmarks than others if that's your thing. Theme on this rom is friggin schweet. The newest 1.2.2 version looks like a winner.
MIUI.us/Scott951 - MIUI 1.9.23
I'm someone who never used MIUI as my own daily driver, but I've installed it for others. The main reason is 4g, I wanted to have it. I still took a look to see how it was. The Evo3D package is quite nice, there are some nice widgets packed along with it that I don't believe are part of MIUI, like a sense type clock that has easy to configure touch options for the various parts. The rom installed very quickly as it was a small file, and ran beautifully for the time I tried it. The many options and individual theming options seemed quite appealing, and I can see why so many MIUI installs end up so beautifully presented by some flashers out here. I remember not liking the contacts app - it was either slow or something else bothered me. The messaging app stood out to me as interesting tho. I may have been getting it confused with the next rom, as I spent very little time with MIUI.
Vaelek - Vaelpak 3D RC2
Vaelek is another devloper I have experience with from my Evo4g. His rom was the first one I used to have customization options after install, and also the first rom I used that had a non-sense launcher on it. Vaelpak 3D RC2 was my first experience using Go Launcher EX. I've used both Launcher Pro and ADW EX, and found Go Launcher EX to really outshine the two tried and trusted launchers with all the extras they've been adding. Go launcher hasn't exactly been a secret for some time now, but I was still impressed by all it has to offer these days with all the Go apps, widgets and themes it really gives every other launcher from sense to MIUI a run for its money. Go launcher stock looks great, and the themes I looked at looked terrific as well. I also love the screen transition options, they made me chuckle a bit. Vaelpak manages to keep a lot of stock sense underlay/apps, and still has a lot of free memory to spare. Rom ran great and might be calling my name later if I get curious about Go Launcher, but I didn't give it a full try as I wasn't sure I wanted to take time to learn/configure it to be my daily driver.
toastcfh - CyanogenMod 7 VALPHA3
I knew I wasn't going to daily this but just wanted to test it out. Thought it was going to be super smooth, which it is, but the nexus LWP used didn't seem to be running the best or wasn't the best version of it, cuz it looked a tad laggy to me. Having used CM7 before, it's a rom whose reputation speaks for itself with options/speed, and I'm sure this version is no different.
scrosler - Clean Rom Developers Edition
My first taste of Evo3D overclock. Found the screen transitions to be less smooth than Sense 3.5/Infected, but was better than stock though. There was a lot of free memory to work with on this rom. I tried using the rom updater to change some of the theme, but after flashing some of the zips in recovery I didn't notice any change, perhaps I did something wrong. I find themes/icon sets in other roms to look better, although this rom had a very "proper" look to it, and stood out as sort of an "HD" version of a stockish rom. I think I would stick a theme on this and call it a day. The overclock made for some good benchmarks, I didn't take the time to install games and test out differences there. This does seem to be a choice overclocking rom though, keeping sense but making it far less of a hog. . Ran solid for me, no bugs in short term testing.
SteelH - SteelRom v2.62
Coming from Steel v2.2, I hadn't updated previously because I didn't have any problems and everything was just great - I was running the Honeycomb theme by mayfield with zeus mods and didn't really cave in to the new rom features till I saw sense 3.5 on my friend's tbolt and saw how smooth it was compared to my phone. I hoped I would find another stable release from Steel, which has so far been the case. The rom has a few aesthetic tweaks over stock which I like, and runs well. I kind of want my zeus mods back, which I may try to get thru the honeycomb theme if it lets me. The notification icons are a little like Clean Rom in that they are stockish, but I prefer the honeycomb/stock gingerbread type ones over both. Everything about this rom feels solid, and the black sense clock I've preferred since my evo4g is included here and looks great. I actually have been trying to get a black sense clock with no background - might even try Shogun just for that reason. Beats audio in this rom really isn't what it is in sense 3.5/infected roms, it feels like less of an improvement and more like the stock eq settings. I feel at home running SteelH's roms, as he fits the niche that I look for - stability and the more important new features you would want in a custom rom.
Things I noticed testing all these:
Roms with Beats Audio/DSP Manager - I had been using DSP Manager to up my handset speaker volume by doing custom EQ and all the levels. The roms with Beats Audio from the XE port sounded about the same without using the DSP Manager EQ, and when I turned the EQ on it actually LOWERED the handset speaker volume, even with the EQ levels turned up. On roms with the beats audio that wasn't the ported version like on SteelH's rom, using the DSP Manager EQ makes the speaker volume louder and better IMO.
Transparent Notifications/app drawer - I strongly prefer transparent notifications, and found it implemented a little differently in various roms/themes. There's some more opaque, some more transparent, different color fonts. I didn't have too many issues reading them, I just liked it more when it looked consistent, like with the rest of the drop down and the quick settings.
Customizable quick settings - This should be a must for every rom! If you can put them in a different order someone tell me cause that would be perfect.
Remapping the personalization button - why doesn't HTC let you do this? I mean, it is the "personalization" button. Just slap some generic shape on there or something. One rom let me change this to broswer but it didn't work. I don't remember which one. Another let me change it and it worked fine.
Infected Eternity/ SteelRom win best dialer award
Would like to see more custom lock rings/lock ring docks out there!
Lots of interesting splash screens out there
Cameras - ISO1250 seems to make noticeably different pictures, nice to have this option. I have no idea if 8mp did anything, I guess if I pull a pic to the PC I could check it out. Touch screen shots work better than the camera button, but I use the button anyways because it just feels nicer to do. Anyone have any idea why the button lags and if it can be fixed somehow? Haven't looked to see if the compression fix for images changes anything either, maybe a comparison is in order.
Everyone who worked on removing the HTC spyware stuff has to be commended. I feel like that is the biggest difference in rooting this phone, removing that stuff makes the phone run so much better and has been less buggy for me as well. I believe Treve was a major player in this.
Support for these roms has been phenomenal. All these roms had threads with constant updates and feedback between developers and users, making them some of the many standouts on these boards.
I don't know if me writing this up helps anyone as tests were so short, but maybe it gives you an idea of what to check out. I haven't gotten around to trying out roms until lately because my phone was running great and it takes so long to try out all of them, and there's still more I wanted to test.
All the roms I tried surprised me, except MIUI and CM7, which I had varying experience with before and always feel polished. It feels like Evo3D development is picking up quite a bit, and is getting very good. Major ups to you guys cooking up these roms.
As a new Droid user, and seeing that there is so many options out there, its like asking which flavor ice cream is the best, all depends on the user and what their eye in the first place to flash it,
However I run cleanrom2.5 with the bcblend kernal and this thing is dam quick. And Scott provides superb support with all of his work. So what's your favorite ice cream? Lol, just look thro some posts and find what sounds decent and complete to you and flash it.

Thanks for everyone's feedback I greatly appreciated. I just installed steal ROM and its nice. Fast, even while being underclocked. Could use a couple of things like 8mm cam, more bloatware removed, more quick settings. Things I like. What do you guys think about his ROM?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Cleanrom has no bloat, lots of settings and options, its been cleaned up nicely, steel is very popular as well amoung the masses you just gotta try it and see what happens see if you like it or not,
Kernals are the performance boosters, to me the kernal is more important than the ROM, so just try some different things and see what u like

To go 2+ days without freezing and/or randomly rebooting?
Lol huh? I don't have this problem ever...
So far:
Deck ROM: yes, could go weeks without rebooting.
CleanROM: yes, only had it about 2 days but no problems
Synergy: no, tried every kernel and it wouldnt go more than about 12 hours without a hard crash.
About all I've tried at length

My personal ROM has actually never needed a reboot or crashed.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Every ROM I've ran except some of myn's nightlies were completely stable.
Synergy - very stable
Cyanogenmod - seems to be the stablest
InfectedROM - Kind of stable
Myn's 2.3 - Not really stable, but these are experimental nightly builds we have
If it reboots randomly and freezes a lot, there is most likely too many apps running or similar stuff that is causing that. I use my phone heavily and have never experienced reboots/freezes/shutoffs.
Steelh never had an issue works for days before reboot just to clean up
Gotcha, nice replies guys.
I refuse to run ROMs with several broken things, aside from AOSP, which is understandable.
Cm7 on airplane mode. No service so im good with wifi. 3D movies. ONLY reboot I ever had was adding 2000 songs to my sdcard. Phone couldnt handle it for 10 minutes. Then it scanned properly and good to go again.
Whooo! (Cole Voice...)
Basically, the reason I'm asking is because virtually every single frequently updated Sense ROM in the development section is full of issues people are having. I'm trying to understand why they are so popular if they are riddled with issues every other update. Do people not enjoy stable phones? I've been running the same ROM since July and to this day there isn't a single 'new' feature that has been implemented in ROMs these days that I don't want. If there happens to be one, it doesn't need a full flash.
My question is: Why are so many people using Sense ROMs that have nothing but issues and stuff that doesn't work properly? Since HTC has already provided a fairly solid foundation with the Stock ROM, how are so many Sense ROMs broken?
If the answer is aesthetics and looks, why not take a stable ROM, and work from there to get the look you want?
I'm also trying to understand the mind of a "Flashaholic" and besides AOSP or MIUI, there doesn't seem to be enough differences between these Sense ROMs other than kernels and random fiddling with the framework that really differentiate them. For a person that understands how ROMs work and can easily determine the core differences between them, I can tell you exactly what differences that ROM A has from ROM B, and yet, the user opinion is much wider.
Take for instance ROM A, which has a cute tagline in its title and is made by a 'veteran' so to speak. The changelog and file-by-file difference between that and ROM B, made by a seemingly unknown person are pretty small, but the audience seems to think ROM A is much more 'stable' and 'fast' than ROM B.
Aside from messing with the framework, I have done side-by-side comparisons of where most of the ROMs features claim to shine--its tweaks to memory, ram usage, cpu, kernel, etc; which reside mostly in the /system/etc folder and under build.prop and the differences are so small and most of the tweaks are identical. With that said, framework 'tweaks' make a minimal difference in every day situations and most phones will perform almost identical to the Stock ROM. The real differences lie in random build.prop tweaks and init.d scripts which mostly come from poorly documented sites and sources that were meant for Desktop computers and/or older phones like the G1 and can actually have a negative effect on our current phone's performance. I'm sure HTC has done enough research that their method of ROM delivery is probably optimal for most people.
At any rate, I'm interested in more discussion from the people in this thread.
Id like to try your dualcore mod with 1st core at 700mhz and 2nd core at 500mhz. Can you make the file for me? But is it possible to get a screen off profile with it?
Whooo! (Cole Voice...)
I have flashed before due to aesthetics but now I'm on a hunt for a smoother (stutter free) rom. I also like having extra settings that some offer like synergys, and Eternity, and having beats is a plus although not necessary. The closest I've gotten is Eternity 1.3.1 w/stock look along with Tiamat sense 1.0.3 kernel and flashable script by Smokin. Smokins script made a difference in smoothness for me specially in the app drawer. The only issue that plagues my phone is intermittent black screen during calls.
Other reason I flash is sometimes I get tired of things and want something new to play with. Makes me feel I have a new device.

That I can understand, but with the differences between Sense ROMs being so small, why? I suppose looks is a good enough reason as any, especially if you don't know how or feel like trying to extract the apks or images needed to make your current ROM look like the ROM you're installing.

Senseless I get way better 4g coverage than any other ROM I've tried. With others my 4g would go on and off every 3-4 minutes. It really bugged me out.

I flash roms to have wireless tether mainly. Recently i like using sprint hotspot and it ia easier to flash a modified stock rom instead of tracking down the flashable hack. Other than staying up to date with software without breaking root, i dont see a reason not to be stock rooted. I buy htc for sense so aosp roms just arent for me. Im running infected eternity 1.4.1 and love the themed look just because it seperatea me from the rest if the world, if i wanted to fit a mold i would be rocking that girly iphone.

First time I've heard anyone claim synergy is stable. Even the synergy devs have given up trying to get non stock kernels to run reliably with it and have recommended limping along by flashing the stock kernel over the included one until the ROM can be fixed.
As to why so many problems: I think half of it is kernel compatibility and half is in the baking. Some bake in the latest version of this or that apk that hasn't been thoroughly tested. Market 3.2 is a good example. Doesn't work: can't buy paid apps. Same problems occur with other apps like all the borked superuser updates between 3.0.2 and 3.0.6. So with all the pushing to include the latest versions of every low level app baked into the ROM, of course there will be some mismatches.
Not a fan of AOSP ROMs. Most of those don't have 20% of the stuff working like 4g, 3d camera, and other stuff. Most say right at the top, "dont expect this to work... Or that to work". No thanks.

Ok to begin this topic, I am in no way an expert and this is based on my preferences and experiences with the Roms listed, present and future.
I will be updating this as I test these Roms for one week or until I have exhausted featur, My signature will reflect the Rom I am currently testing.
These will be in order of use not alphabetical and will contain GB Firmware patch links when required.
Lets get started.
Ratings
1 Star = 1/2 Star =
Top Rating = 10
All of these Developers have done excellent work providing our community with quality work, this is not meant to Flame against them, just my experiences shared for those who wish to find the Rom that is right for them and I am still looking for my favorite, PM me suggestions.
My attempt to review these Roms after a week of switching back and forth, ratings and information subject to change.
Ineffabilis Dues v1.1
[ROM] Ineffabilis Deus v1.1 [6/26/12] Sense 3.6 | Beats | Tweaks | 3.14.605.10
GB Patch
First thoughts:
This Rom was the first I have ever flashed, it has many customization features built into the rom and is very very stable.
Many launcher options on installation, the customizations I mentioned before are mainly due to the launchers that you can choose from.
While this isn't spectacular, the Notification customization is amazing and quite user friendly.
I wasn't quite sure on what was missing from this Rom.

Newts Zone XxX RLS 3.2.1
[ROM - 7/7] NeWts zOnE XxX RLS 3.2.1
Patch Located in Rom posting.
First thoughts:
I believe this Rom is still in development, newtoroot stated he was releasing an update, so this view point is prior to that release.
Issues I had encountered:
Sense and all sense related, clock, weather, etc. closing unexpectedly.
Graphical glitches in the weather, Icons on the home screen.
All in all this is a very good Rom, Once the bugs have been reduced I would not mind using it for more than a day.
Beats Audio on all apps with the Beats notification control!!
This Rom is also very customizable with lots of support from zhp pilot.

Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 4.0
[ROM][07.27.12][V2.3] Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 4.0 [Aroma Installer]
First thoughts:
This is another very stable rom, it has some customization features, HTC Hub included into the personalize section which is always a plus, but the service seems to be down due to HTC.
First Boot Issues:
Status bar carrier name collapsed upon itself.
Fix: changing the carrier name with the tweaks app and then removing it if desired fixes this problem.
Weather app is graphically bugged, even after turning off Force 2D GPU Rendering and a Hot Reboot it is still sluggish looking and the menu has some graphical glitches.
Maybe a side effect of the CPU being under clocked?
Fix: Unknown.
Locksreen Icons:
The lockscreen icons seem to be only set to what the launcher is set to, this is a bump that you have to get over immediately if you like customizing your icons to different apps.
Widgets:
This Rom has all of the goodies that come stock from HTC and Android.
Notifications Area:
As Nils' informed me in the forums, tapping on the carrier name toggles Quick Settings, inventive way of hiding them and I personally like this.
Again there isn't a recent apps menu, as I have said before, I personally like being able to switch to an app that I was using before I had a Email or SMS Message.
Unfortunately it does not seem to have a way of organizing the Quick Settings menu items to your own personal liking.
Wifi / Radio:
I experienced no issues with connecting to wireless routers or signal issues.
Battery:
55% battery left with moderate use for the last 5 hours, WiFi seems to disable itself quite well when not in use, for all the people who think sense kills a battery, think again as Nils' might have something going here.
Down only 5% while editing this post and replying to a few pm's
Beats Audio:
When I know, you will know.
Wirelss ADB:
You will have to go to the play store to get Wireless ADB as it does not seem to be included.
CarrierIQ:
I could not find a trace of this trashy forced spyware.
Oddities:
While skimming through the People tab of the PhoneBook, I opened the menu and found a button for Verizons Backup Assistant Plus, When tapped nothing happens, as it is not installed on this Rom and having flashed this Rom before, I backed up my contacts with Google prior to flashing it again.
This one seemed odd to me, and I kind of liked it, but Google Play automatically downloaded 3 out of my last 6 downloaded apps.
There does not seem to be a setting to allow the homescreen to wrap to the first panel as seen in other Roms and...

I hope so too, I will be adding to it as I switch between the Roms again and again until I haven't missed anything substantial.
I just flashed back to Nils' last night from your Rom, so some stuff may be jumbled.
I think something you may have missed from NilsP ICS Sense is the battery life. His battery life is very good (he customized it for that and stability) Using android i don't know of many people who use VZWbackup for their contacts and can't really imagine using that instead of google's own solution.
ViperRez, also is incredibly innovative and has good battery life, customizability. It is currently my daily driver until AOSP.
I would definitely put NilsP's at a 4 star at least. ViperRez i think is right up there. My favorite Sense 3.6 and Sense 4 roms.

I am still swapping out Roms and haven't fully tested everything, but at the moment 3 1/2 is as high as I can go at the moment, this is just the beginning of a review between what I have found to be the big hitters and have yet to test cleanROM.
Don't worry I will update with battery life and the like eventually, I am going to take a week on each Rom and edit this post, currently I am back on the ViperRez, next week I will return to Nils', but the main thing reason the VZW Backup is so important, new users are given the tool by default and I must admit, the Google version only confuses me and I have never took the time to use it and learn how to back up my contacts and phone numbers, something 3 out of the 4 Roms I have tried have optional during first boot is VZW Backup and Google.

Just to add. Quick settings is in the pulldown. Just tap the logo bar and it toggles. Just don't want anyone to think 4.0 ROM does not have QS and Tweaks.
Also, great idea for a thread
I havent used Ineffibilis Deus or Nils Business Sense so I have no opinions on those, but IMO ViperRez beats out OneXxX. OneXxX just seemed a little buggy and slow. Still, if ViperRez weren't around, it'd be my second pick.
WooHoo! made the list for once.. YAY!

Well it was included with the Rom and modifies the Rom at the lowest levels, so why not?
After reading what zone pm'd me, he actually rebuilt the entire Rom, so I think that counts in this list.

Theming it, adding ad block hosts, and updating gapps is not a new ROM. Newt did 99.9% of the ROM if you discount the blue color. I am not saying the blue doesn't look great or not take a long time to do, but it isn't a new ROM or development. It is theming.
Please just remove it from the list. Thanks..

You only like it because your rom is #1
but i like the idea of this thread. grate work OP
You need to try ConRom with the desensed option . Its the best one so far in my opinion!
ViperRez is gr8 but the battery drain
Newts have gr8 power setting
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I recently upgraded to a nexus and at that same time a friend of mine broke her phone, so I gave her my fascinate with AOKP M6 on it...but she's getting sick of the bugs. Since I really have no way of testing I was hoping someone could help me make the decision of putting either a TW ROM or the latest CM 10 nightly on the fascinate.
I've been keeping an eye of the CyanogenMod gerrit and it looks like Jt1134 has made some serious headway, but can anyone give me their educated opinion? (I'm already running the nightlies on my nexus so I'm more interested in device specific bugs)
Thanks if you can help, I just have no way to test and I don't want to piss off a bug intolerant girl. ^-^
CM10 nightly is my suggestion... personally I've never had any real issues with it. The Devil Kernel 1.6.1 has been working great, but sticking with the stock kernel could be good for future releases. I much prefer using Devil because of the performance tweaks, but your friend probably won't care.
The TW rom will give rock solid stability too, but honestly... CM10 is so fast and smooth I can't see why anyone would bother with a GB rom anymore... especially since CM10 is practically bug free.

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah CM 10 looks like a very good option at the moment because of the now built in updater.
I also just remembered she was asking about the colors being washed out compared to stock, does the default CM 10 kernel come with anything to enhance that or would I need to flash devil kernel with Voodoo color? (She made it seem like a bit of a big deal so I promised I'd look into it)

Hmm that's a good question. I've never really messed with tweaking the colors to be honest, and I've always used the CMC (Cyanogenmod Color) version of Devil because the VC one gives me a weird negative image flash when coming out of sleep mode. I'm sure there are some apps that will adjust color that she could get from the market, no matter which kernel it is. I think I even remember looking for the app that adjusts Voodoo Color and couldn't for the life of me find it. Sorry I can't be more help, the colors were always vibrant enough for me so I never really cared to adjust them
edit: Well I did find some basic color calibration settings under System Settings > Device > Advanced > Color Tuning. Not sure if it's going to be what she's looking for, but it seems to be a built in feature for the rom itself, and separate from the kernel options. The devil config manager I'm using doesn't have any color tuning options at all.
The app you were looking for was probably Voodoo Sound, a color calibration option becomes available in it if you're on a VC enabled kernel. It doesn't really matter though, it looks like I'll be flashing Devil kernel anyway as I just read some reports of "screen jumpiness" on the stock kernel in the devil kernel thread.
I'm not really sure what that means but I'd rather just avoid it entirely.

Those issues are almost always from someone who 'dirty flashed' instead of doing a proper data wipe and clean install. I've run on the stock kernel many times never experiencing those issues. That said, I still prefer the Devil kernel but I can see a couple of problems with her using that... 1) If a newer Devil Kernel is released, will she know enough to flash it? 2) If CM10 gets another partition change, or something that will break Devil, and she updates it could cause a boot loop, and 3) If she's not into customs roms as much as you she might go into devil settings and cause a lot of trouble if she's 'unhappy' with the performance. Food for thought

Good points, I think I'll start her on stock kernel for a few days and go from there if she needs better performance/color control. Anyway, It's good to know the fascinate community is still awesome!
Thanks for your help.
I am curious to what bugs she has been having. I have been using AOKP since ICS build 28 with very few bugs if any throughout all the builds. I have been very pleased even with stock kernel as to how fast and responsive it is. I know CM to be good as well but prefer the cherry picks Steve spear has built into some of his releases

Apparently the browser randomly stops loading web pages and has to be force killed, MMS don't always come through, and...there were a couple more but I can't remember them at all.
I was really rushed when I flashed her phone and I'm pretty sure some of the stuff I put on there was in mid-development. (the kernel)
I have not had any problems with any web pages. MS6 for ICS should be stable although I am using the showcase on cspire network. Unfortunately I do not have picture/ MMS messaging to speak to that, but I know it has been a problem on several releases due to not wiping before flashing
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda app-developers app
I agree that MS6 should have been a lot more stable, but my recommendation stands... go with CM10, it's just plain better

i agree with this, for the colors i go there to the color tuning, just make sure you use a CMC kernel and not voodoo color. anyways my settings are 1.0 for red and blue, and .887 for green with all the gammas at -40. it looks amazing, vivid and sharp and not over saturated.
Wow that does look pretty good, did you just figure this out yourself or are there guides on how to calibrate?

i was just messing around with the colors in there and kept working down the gamma since im a sucker for vivid and non washed out colors lol, i ended up with them all the way negative but found out it had a tad of a green tone so i just moved the green slider back to where it looked about right. it is no one way calibrated or anything, just the best i could make make it look to my eyes.
If your friend really just wants a stable ROM, AOKP M6 should be their best bet. Likely the issue is that the phone has been upgraded many times; the best way to ensure a clean install of AOKP is to flash to stock in Odin then flash other things progressively to get to ICS. This post provides a great overview of the process.

If your follow those steps for your friend, the issues with the browser should disappear. The end result? A bug free rom that makes everyone happy. I personally wouldn't suggest upgrading to CM10 unless your friend really just wants to upgrade their phone periodically.

I appreciate the response, sadly those are pretty much the exact steps I took to flash the fascinate before I gave it to her. I really don't know what's up with it, but why do you suggest staying on ICS?
I'm running the CM10 nightlies on my gnexus and the only real bug I have is ringtones reset to the default within the first day after flashing, after that it's pretty flawless. Are there some other bugs on the fascinate that I should be aware of?

That's too bad... I'm very surprised that there are still issues!
I'm pretty sure the fascinate isn't on the officially supported device list for CM10, which means that more bugs could be present, but honestly I'm not terribly familiar with that ROM. For me personally, I think ICS might be better since the voice search is much faster and there's more storage space or apps, but that's just me.

The fascinate has been receiving official nightly cm10 builds for over a month, and due to recent partition layout changes, there is more storage space available than even a stock ROM.

As much as I loved AOKP ICS M6, CM10 just blows it away. It's the best JB rom I've ever run, and with Devil 1.6.1 it's a beast :good:
are there any pics of cm10 anywhere and does the camera and camcorder work? Gapps seperate?
This is based on the ROM joelZ9614 posted on June 27th.
It's deodexed and stripped of most Verizon apps and some HTC apps while keeping Sense.
This is different than the original release I had planned. This is close to the version I use since joelsZ9614's is coming.
This is PURE HTC stock. There's no themes, no EQS and little tweaks.
Xposed installer is included, use the MoDoCo ToolKit and other XPosed apps to make some of the usual mods.
Everything is working(?) but Zoe and Panoramic sweep.
This is VERIZON ONLY. It's been reported that MMS does not work with GSM.
Here's a few flashable additions: to the ROM:
HTC Music
HTC Calender
xLOUD
There's is now some tweaks included that I've tested but my init.d didn't make all the changes.
Recommend Trickster Mod Settings are:
Read Ahead Buffer Size: 384 (seems high but benchmarks the highest)
Deadline
fifo_batch: 8
front_merges: 1
read_expire: 30
write_expire: 250
writes_starved: 1
Conservative
down_threshold: 30
freq_step: 25
sampling_down_factor: 5
up_threshold: 60
Multicore Power Saving: 2
ALL thanks go to joelZ9614 for the ROM, crpalmer for the kernel, and zepplinrox for the supercharging.

*There's been some cleaning inside the ROM. A wipe is NOT necessary, but if coming from the first ROM I posted, but I'd recommend formatting /system.
*This version also has less apps stripped since people seem to like apps I don't use.

More vaporware for the DNA!
It's a stripped version of the ROM Joel posted last week.
I deodexed, and got it to flash. His is coming soon so I pulled the link. If he gives permission I'll gladly post
for people wanting to give it a go.
Verizon and a lot of HTC apps are removed while still keeping Sense.
Mirrors or hosting will be helpful before hand.

With all that said here's the link: http://goo.gl/akLyz
If you like it and can mirror please do as i'm not a developer and this is the best hosting I could come up with without ads.
This has been a learning experience.
Developers should get more credit than they get. This stuff is hard, and even uploading is major hassle.

It's basically Sense 5 rom, nothing out of the ordinary, you can look at any other sense 5 rom's screen shot - it would be the same
What about smoothness and responsiveness? I can't use newt's sense 5 rom because it makes my phone feel extremely clunky..
Apparently I can't post a link. Don't know if I could put images in.
But as nimrodsv said it's pure. No theming at all.
I had no problem with newtoroot's ROM being laggy.
But it's been running well for me without any kernel tweaking yet.

I keep seeing posts where people say that the newt Rom is laggy. Ive been running it for about 2 weeks now and just flashed beaups kernal the other day but even before flashing that kernal I had zero issues with lag. In fact, I have not had a single issue at all since flashing this Rom. That's pre beaups kernal and post. Did I just get lucky somehow with a fluke flash that turned out to be beneficial? Am I the only person that has not experienced any lag?

Every phone is different. My phone hates overlclocking. If I run my phone over 1600 it reboots. No matter what kernel it is. So, maybe it is laggy on his phone.

Don't try the Tablet ui . Obviously Sense lacks a tablet ui and bad things happen.

This is the truth.. We all have the same hardware.. but there could be very subtle differences in something that could cause some of us to lag and others not.. Ran into the same issues when I had my Incredible 2 .. I was flawless with every rom, 99% of the time.. others weren't.. Just the way she goes..
at production, the CPU of the phone was labeled based on processing tolerances. there is slow, nominal, fast, and faster. each one reacts differently to OC and UV ect
