Hello there. So, I want to try and find a rom that works best for what I need it for, but rather than take weeks to experiment with all the different roms out right now, I thought I'd ask the public and see what you all think.
What I use/want my phone for, in order of importance:
1) Stability (I work for a Doctor's Office. I can't have my phone freezing on me AT ALL. I need to be able to be reached 100% of the time).
2) 4G Tether (I use at least 20-30Gb of 4G data a month MINIMUM. It needs to have stable 4G. I am able to play Battlefield 3 on my PC with no lag/bad ping with my current 4G coverage).
3) Balance between speed and battery life.
4) Looks "cool." This isn't very important to me though if everything else works.
And that's all I can really think of at the moment.
With this in mind, which rom/kernel setup would be best for me?
I REALLY appreciate any response. <3.
EDIT: I have CDMA.
Before this gets locked... look up Cool ICS ROM in the CDMA development thread. That should work wonders

I went through the rules and I don't know why my thread would be locked? =-X. Which rule did I break for future reference then? I apologize in advance.
And I tried Cool ICS Rom at one point. I wasn't impressed with the battery life though. But this was a while back. Has a lot gone into the development and stability of ICS now?
Yeah. Most not if all ICS ROMs are stable

Its not posted in the rules. Papa has stated that these threads are not allowed because its based on opinions and it has the potential to start flame wars between members and or devs. Just to let you know, evo 3d is notorious for battery drain. You will have to experiment with kernel settings. Setup your memory tasks. Shut off stuff like bluetooth , WiFi, auto sync. Email and Facebook are notorious battery drainers. Try an extended battery or carry a spare one.

It's a moderator preference (aka rule) that we don't have "best" or "favorite" ROM or kernel threads in the Evo 3D XDA forums. We setup a ROM information thread in the General Forum and if you repost you requirements there someone can make some suggestions for ROM's you might want to try.

Depends of the guys, i really appreciate the work of developers, but in 1 month, i see like 4 or 5 updates, with annoying updates like, NEW KEYBOARD, CHANGED BUILD.PROP and others, but nothing with NEW KERNEL, if possible get 3 or 4 developers to do 1 thing!! Or Stable kernel only in 2014 :/

A few questions:
There are not many devs left here. Do you think it is a good idea criticize our work like that?
Are you saying you don't want any updates unless it is a new kernel?
Have you considered trying to build a kernel yourself instead of complaining?
Just asking.....
I heard that the devs working on porting the XOOM kernel have progressed. Hopefully in due time...
It will, it's under development.

Im not criticating man, i really appreciate your work, you win my 10+ repp i only said that these updates dont be affect anything that the guys test. Because, i see much guys from here, and from other forums, that trying ICS several weeks because it have a new update, did you understand? hehe
Dont think wrong about my answr ;P
What exactly is the point of threads like this? People around here are getting just too good at nothing but whining and complaining. FYI, opening a thread like this is exactly the same thing as asking for ETAs, and I really hope everyone knows you NEVER ask for ETAs here. Instead of littering the forum with useless whiny adn wallowy threads like this, you could have helped the development efforts yourself. But no, people would rather just sit around idly and complain and whihe.
If you want a stable and fully functional ICS/JB right away, get a different device. If you want it in some undefined time, have patience, be supportive and QUIT ASKING. Better yet, instead of just waiting, take initiative and MAKE IT HAPPEN YOURSELF.
Hey Guys, I've reported this thread. I've got fed up with threads like these. Only asking for ETAs, growing up a bad mood... not throwing good vibes at all. We need patience, not ETAs. If you need a kernel so bad, then you've gotta have patience. That'll do the trick

wow, you've reported this thread?! all the guy was asking was how things are progressing. After the initial excitement of the ics leak there hasn't been anything of very much. He said he appreciated the work of the people who put the time and effort into trying to keep our phone as current as possible. Who do you think you are Ravilov labeling someone as whiny and wallowing (although just what you think the poster is wallowing in is beyond me - he asked a simple question). As for your pathetic 'no one asks for eta's' comment... I can only assume you've been spending too much time here.
Thankfully, the question was answered bu Syl and takemeouttt.
This is a forum, where people ask questions and, hopefully, get civil and informative answers.
1) New Keyboard -- Because people wanted to try the new keyboard with 'Swype'-like features.
2) build.prop edits -- Because different people are having different issues with the ICS roms. Devs are pretty much taking stabs in the dark to see which combination helps which device. (tegra part?)
3) Xoom Kernel Port -- Is compiled, but will be a while before everyone can test it and/or have a stable release (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941654)
As for your original question, there's a strong possibility we might, but don't expect it anytime soon. If it was that easy, Motorola would have done it at the same time they did it for Xoom. Remember, developers might also upgrade to newer devices. Would seem pointless to develop for a device--that even the manufacturer abandoned, when you have a shiny new device.
The current "team" of developers ARE working "together". In my experience, it's hard to collaborate on something with another person remotely, but they seem to be managing it. Going by the thread, there are at least 2 active developers. Might be others who aren't updating in the thread, but are simply contributing by email and/or other ways?
This thread may or may not be pointless. I think if it gets closed at this point, it might help someone trying to find a simple answer without going through 1000's of posts in the development section.

How long more do ppl keep their atrix?

I bought an atrix 2 weeks ago, i'm waiting to the delivery from China, so i think i would keep it for a year
I think that the community is simply misguided.
There is not a single post which clearly explains that we hit a brick wall regarding battery life.
Not knowing that, it IS frustrating to see a "new update!!" as the title of the ROM post and find only minor graphical changes inside.
There is a simple way to solve that, we need a sticky with an explanation regarding the entire Atrix ICS issue.
It should have a brief explanation that the ICS and JB roms that we have now are incomplete and generally suffer from graphical issues due to the old kernel constrains and even though we have a leaked version of the original ICS kernel, it is only barely functional and in most cases far from being a daily driver.
It will save a LOT of browsing (for me at least) since I check almost daily on the progress in the development section and it is quite a hassle to browse through all the latest comments for a clue of any changes or new ideas of how to make the rom work better and it will inform all those that don't bother checking and simply end up disappointed in the new changes.
Creating such a post is easy and I can do so if you'll approve of my idea, but the major point is to make it sticky and up to date, even if the update is simply updating the title just to show that no progress regarding kernel development/ ICS implementation for the Atrix was made.
I have no problems updating it either.
I adore the dev community here and all of you guys.
It's nice to see optimism where other developers and testers would just give up.
I love you guys and keep up the nice job. :highfive:

I think epinter tried taking the kernel from either the galaxy r and other similar phones and came out with the same issues as we get with the leaked kernel.

Does anyone know whats the most stable ICS/JB rom here? Need one with good battery life, & hwaccell...
I myself have got LionRom at the moment, not sure if I'm going to stay with it though.
The question is, why would you want to; to get an idea of why people are using the rom they're using (pros/cons) ? You can get that by reading the discussion threads devoted to different roms, they're full of recent user experiences.
Otherwise I can't see the point to a thread like this (which there isn't any way in light of what I mentioned above).

Its just statistics mate, calm down.
I try out new Rom's almost every week, on both my S2 and my N7, With this poll its a good way of seeing how may people are continuing with trying out new Rom's or whether they have stayed with an old(er) Rom.
If you don't want to take part then fine, don't.
Dont know if the thread will stand
Voted anyway
Im using unrooted stock 4.0.3.Its great cos android eats up half the battery and theres a lot of apps running too(saves a millisecond if I want to open one of them apps in a months time).
Thread closed before it turns into a best ROM thread.

Which rom is recomended to be daily driver with everything working
Tested some of the aosp roms and found them not to be stable yet for every day use .
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
For me Unlocked Potential was very stable, basically all or most ICS ROMs work with zero to little problems. I've had quite a few with CM10.

If anyone who sees this has no real interest in flashing and testing different roms, and simply want a "microwave" solution, then disregard my block of text below. This is not a shot against anyone, just simple advice being shared.
My response whenever people ask this question is this: you can try one at a time, so why not try as many as you can?
How would you know if any Rom is the best without knowing what makes it better than the other Roms in the first place? Not to mention that every user has their personal preferences, likes, and dislikes. Some like simple roms while others prefer the bells and whistles. You must see what you lime for yourself.
Please understand, Rom testing IS time consuming when testing the options and checking for speed, smoothness, stability, functionality, etc., but it is well worth it. You build your knowledge base, too. Asking for someone to tell you the best rom is taking the easy way out, guided by a biased opinion that is likely to change between most responses that you receive. Unless, of course, as I said before, you have no interest in this kind of thing, and you just want a rom that works. If so...then do whatever rocks your boat.

A good website for roms is
http://galaxys2root.com/tag/sgh-t989-roms/
There are videos posted for most roms reviewing the features, speed, stability, visuals, and overall feel of each rom.
And FYI, GB roms tend to be more stable than ICS, and DEFINITELY JB, but you gain more functionality and lose stability with each step up. Keep that in mind.

Questions such as these are not allowed. As the user above me mentioned, just download and try for yourself.
Mods close this.

There is nothing wrong with asking these questions. Plus the people who replied here.
Did you guys tested every single rom out here , if thats the case thats great .

What's wrong is that the Evo 3D forums do not allow favorite ROM threads. You can try posting your requirements in this thread per the instructions in the OP and someone will probably provide feedback.

My favorites are cyanogen based roms, but there are some bugs in cm 10.1 (bluetooth etc)
As stated above best Rom threads are frowned upon to many variables to say one Rom is hands down the best Rom.

i'm trying to flash my sister phone with a rom thats better the att JB rom winch is super slow. i tried CM10.1 which is buggy and keeps restarting and its through the battery like there is no tomorrow, also tried AOKP unofficial non OC rom, it also has some bugs like the screen flickering and it it a bit laggy and and the battery dies pretty quick.
So can you guys advise me on a rom that will be perfect for my sisters phone, thanks in advance.

First, this is the development forum and you should be posting in general or q&a. If you did that you would see there are so many threads with this exact same question. The same response would be, "please dont submit this type of question".
This has a tendancy to lead folk into pitting one persons work against anothers with harsh criticism.
This also tells me you are not reading. Any bugs you list are either already known about rom or are due to an unclean process of flashing.
My suggestion is decide what type of user your sister is and read up on some roms to see if the suit her needs. Every phone is going to run every rom with different degrees of success.
Make sure your process is clean and take some for a test drive. Let them settle for a day or two though to give it a fair chance.
Keep us posted.

Maybe a moderator could move it to the general threads. Please dont take my post harshly. I certainly would not be flashing anything for my sister, but maybe you get along better with yours. I just wouldnt want to be responsible for maintaining her phone if she is going to be finicky about something.
Just a heads up on the battery stats though.....the more recent your OS is, your battery life will dwindle. Even if she is the most moderate user, expect to charge every night. Your not going to get better life than anybody else.
But nobody in development will be able to help unless your flashing is as clean as you can.

Moved, and as "Best" can only be determined by the individual user, and as all the roms here are excellent and as XDA is not a support site - members are expected to make this decision on their own.
