I know I know.. the question I asked is really asking for stupid answers.
However I find it very difficult to go through all the posting in the development section - and I did that's why I know - to find a good and stable ROM.
And since development has more or less come to an end a while I go I hope anyone can provide me with some useful suggestions.
I don't care whether it is 4.1 or 2.3 based. All I need is rock solid ROM which is easy on power/battery usage
If you recommend me flashing the original firmware is my best choice then I'll do that (probably it is very stable however it's super slow as well).
I'd really be grateful for some honest recommendations.

This has probably been asked over so im sorry im advance, Just asking what is the most stable room out right now? i want the 2.1 (im on hero)update, what are the pluses minus of this?
thanks in advance
don't know how this is related to rooting, but the most stable rom would probably be the last official htc rom i'd guess. but it depends on what you mean with "stable". the 2.1 roms have some drawbacks like market and sync not working, but as this changes by the hour and seems to be more or less random you might want to check the corresponding threads in the dev section.
yes i ment most stable custom roms
Hi Guys,
I would like to ask you a question.
I just got the lastest updated from viewsonic for my gtbab. This upgrade includes some improvements such as : support for mouse and keyboard usb,french and spanish language , full flash support...
So at this point.. I am wondering...is still a good idea to install a custom rom?
If so, could you please point out what real advantages I can get once installed a custom rom?
It's important for me if it is worth to do it. So I need your real expertise in the subject.
Thanks
ralex76,
It really just depends on what meets your needs.
The current stock ROM -- 1.2.4349 -- is way improved from the old software we got
back last November. But it still does not have Market and some of the little fixes
the devs have come up with here.
I would note that roebeet already has posted that he will not be too long in posting
a new version of his TwoTapsX alternate ROM based on the new update. I am sure
he will build Market and fixes into it just like he has all his ROMs in the past (though
I can't speak for him). So that will make it a pretty close alternative to stock with
everything in it.
Then, there's Vegan, Gingerbread, Calkulin and a whole host of other ROMs with a
wide variety of looks and features.
The choice is yours based on (1) what you like and want, and (2) how much risk
to you want to take in learning to flash ROMs (and if needed troubleshoot, etc.)
I tell all new folks to go slow, read hugely here, notice what mistakes everyone
else is making so you don't make them yourself -- and have fun!!!

I think you just need to search around and look at the benefits of each ROM and compare it to your tablet. We don't know how and for what you are using your tab, so it is up to you if a ROM is more suitable for your situaion.
I think if you are fine with the stock ROM and don't see anything that you would want differently, don't bother flashing something else.
Also, make sure to look at Roebeets post regarding the newest OTA update!
In everyone's honest opinion what is currently the fastest and most stable custom Ics rom out there
All current ICS builds are alphas/betas. Not for novice users (despite what fanboys in various threads might tell you). The only way you're going to find out is to head over to the development forums, read a few of the ICS rom threads, then try one/some out for yourself.
Yep, just go read and search and try them out yourself. Nobody can answer this for you, so we close these threads.
Thanks
Just got a P503 that I'm trying to set up for my girlfriend. I know how to use KDZ update and LGMDP. I got a custom recovery on it. I understand the difference between the basebands.
The problem is I can't make any sense out of the Development section. Also, a lot of the links are down (multiupload and megaupload).
This thread: [ROMS] Original LG Firmware list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479, doesn't seem to work. I also have the the "Original LG Firmware" download tool, don't remember which thread I got it from, which is supposed to download the latest firmware for the phone. It downloads a V10K_00.kdz. I thought all of the firmwares were V20 by now, or am I wrong?
I'm looking for either 1) latest stock rom, preferably with Chinese language (she's Chinese), also can be slightly modified, maybe over-clockable, or 2) good stable gingerbread based MIUI rom. Can someone help me out?
If you know of another rom that is either as stable as stock, or more stable, and has an extremely easy to use interface, also please let me know. After I give the phone to my girlfriend, I don't want her calling me everyday with problems because of the phone.
Also, as far as I can tell, the P500 and P503 are the same phone with different firmware right? Any firmware compatible with the P500 can be used on the P503. I even saw a few threads where people mentioned LG customer support said this.
Dynamite
Try dynamite.. It's there in the O1 development section. It is based on the stock ROM. I've personally tried it, it's really good and I switched to other ROMs only because I missed the customisation that CyanogenMod offers...
take a look at this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616069
it's has the iOS user interface (and i think that this one IS extremely easy to use interface),based on CyanogenMod nightly and it available in Chinese....
Now it's up to you to see if it is stable enough to your girlfriend
I looked at and installed the JoyOS. It's nice, got a lot of great features. But it just doesn't feel as awesome as the MIUI on my U8800. It might be a difference in the phone, or it might be the Chinese apps I'm installing with it for my girlfriend, or it might be the OS. Not sure. I'll try Dynamite tomorrow.
However, if anyone knows of a really stable MIUI rom, please let me know. The ones I've seen have problems with apps installed to the SD card.
Hello guys,
first of all a little Introduction:
I'm using a i9300 myself, running cm9 stable more than happy. I do have some base knowledge of the magic you guys are doing here, but not into it enough, I fear.
Im going to visit a close friend of mine soon, who owns a X10 and is more than unsatisfied with the stock rom. Naturally, what he needs is one stable CFW, with the first things coming to my mind being Cyanogen and AOKP. This could even be a chance to get him hopping on the ICS-Train. Since I'm only gonna stay for 2 days, I want to fly there prepared as good as possible.
tl;dr: Don't have a X10, going to have a stock one in my hands for 2 days soon, need to find a stable CFW for it.
I've stumbled across these forums for quite some time now - and have come to some conclusions I'm not quite sure about:
First, I'll have to root the phone, likely using the newest FlashTool. Do I have to take different steps depending on if he's on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5?
Is the next step installing ClockWorkMod?
I can then safely try installing any ROM after booting into recovery, likely Cyanogenmod 7 - or is any stable ICS ROM for the X10 out there?
I'm really appreciating your help, tips, links and guides - even a keyword might help me out. Just trying to find something as fast AND stable as possible, as I can't fix it as soon as I leave my friends house.
Willing to buy you a Beer or two if you push me in the right direction or even provide a link to a bullet-proof ROM or guide.
Have a nice evening,
paddo
Check out the video in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
Hope it helps
It sure does, thank you!
Next I'll only need to find a stable ROM, not caring about whether the bootloader has got to be unlocked or not, right?
Is there ANY stable cm9 out there, or at least a 7.2?
The rom that's used in that video is one of the best I've used..go for it..
