I'm stuck between KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 v1.6.1 vs CM v4.2.14.1
What would you choose/using and why??
CM because it has all the drivers atm. I love eclair, but I want everything to work. Once those are out, Cyanogen will make an eclair also, so I will probably flash that over once it comes around.

that's like comparing apples to oranges. you can't really compare them because they're completely different beasts.

that wasn't one of the choices!
I'll End it right here.
If you want a 2.1 ROM= OpenEclair
If you want Donut=Dunkin Donuts
...If you want a 1.6 ROM=Super D
if i were to recommend a 2.1 rom, i would suggest Cloverdale's Blue_Haze OE v1.1. yes, it's not on xda, but do some research and you will be rewarded.
I like Super D 1.9.2 because of the speed but then it has the downfall of the 10mb hack during games like ShootU! Which I loved, had to refund it

I did research all i found was his theme. Besides how much better can his be compared to others? Honestly coming from a Kinglick AOSP 2.1 ROM i love it and its by far the best compared to other 2.1 roms i've tested. As far as speed and stability goes, Anyways.
And I've been seeing alot of Super D flying around, But how fast are his ROMS? Like 'Super tap an app and open fully' fast or 'Tap an app and wait 2-3 seconds for it to fully show'?
And by the way, @xabierd Any ROM is ACCEPTED! Just wanna know what people are using and WHY? I mean, because it has video working. It's lighting fast. It's stable. It has a certain feel you like, WHATEVER!
DROP IN YOUR 2!!
I'm currently running stock RUU. I'm considering my first custom ROM, and speed is of relatively high importance to me. The 3 ROMs I'm considering are Darchdroid, Fresh, and nfinitefx45.
Fresh and nfinitefx45 ROMs are of course Sense ROMs. I don't care for Sense widgets; I use LauncherPro. If I use Fresh or nfinitefx45, I will use DarchKernelv4.
My question: Even if using LauncherPro with Fresh or nfinitefx45 ROM, will Darchdroid be inherently smoother/faster/more responsive because it an AOSP ROM?
Yes.
But I suggest you try it yourself anyways. Some people flash multiple roms daily, lord knows I've been known to.

everyone has their own opinion. personall i love sense. but being as i have "ORD" i just have to try new stuff. i've tried all of the roms and i ended up on fresh's 2.3.3. it is the fastest buld i've tried. up there with our froyo port. and it's sense with live wallpapers. im using darchkernel v4 for fresh OC to 710. i almost **** my pants at how fast it was when i had tried this yesterday. but like i said, everyone has their own opinion. so the best thing to do is to try them all. darchroid 2.7 and fresh 2.3.3 are the fastest as far as stable builds go. but by the end of this or next week i'm sure all the bugs will be fixed in our froyo port.
So a coupla days back i decided to try sense 2.2 on my nexus as a joke. just to see how it was. i flashed kingxklicks alpha 3 and i was amazed at how well it performed. even better than cm 6. everything was smoother. sense was beautiful. but it had glitch problems. yesterday i jumped to evils dj droid port. less glitches. faster. and even smoother. its great. the only problems ive had have been with the graphical glitches in some areas. but i dont mind much as the web browser, camera and every other sense feature is worth it. compared to stock cm 6 web browser, the sense froyo one performs just as fast with much better implementation of flash 10.1, meaning when you scroll up and down a page with full flash the flash content follows the html content as it should, it doesnt lag behind. and the scrolling is much smoother. galaxy s live wallpapers even perform better. i dont understand why more effort isnt being put into porting over a perfect version of sense 2.2 from the desire. have you guys tried it? any thoughts?
Sense roms are built by the company who made the phone and has a team of paid engineers working around the clock.
CM roms are built from scratch by a group of developers on their own time.
You're surprised a ported sense rom is more refined than an unfinished rom by a group of hobbyist?
That's right... but I also see his point... I think the right comparison should be between sense and vanilla UI. No doubt CM ROM is awesome, and I believe the browser is even better than stock Vanilla Froyo, yet sense browser still seems better.
I dont think he intended to put CM down, it is a valid question though. It also made me wonder why, not a lot of devs are working on porting the desire 2.2 rom. However, I am also aware that since the nexus didn't run sense to start with, it might be tricky and a lot harder to do.

lol dont get me wrong. im a hardcore cyanogen fan and have been using his roms constantly since i got my nexus. i love and appreciate his work and effort. but that was just my take on sense compared to cyanogens rc. i am not surprised that it is more refined than a release candidate by a group of hobbyists as much as i am surprised that devs dont take advantage of such a refined rom to perfect it so users have a solid rom that performs the way it should. i was satisfied with rc 1 until a friend of mine got a vibrant and i realized how much less responsive and less polished my rom was from his. i am patiently waiting for a final release of CM 6 to see how that performs compared to sense roms and even the vibrant.
CM is more of a hacker friendly customizing machine. This is awesome for all us who love to tinker. Sense is for people who like a nice clean refined complete theme without sacrificing performance. I personally switch between the 2 all the time...cant make up my mind!!
This is why I love my Nexus...choices.
PS Have you tried Pauls 2.2 port...no graphical glitches, awesome job so far.
Our best bet is to wait for Paul's 2.2 desire. It should be coming up soon. I am well content with the vanilla ROMs available right now. But the option to switch between the two would be sweet

I saw somewhere that a sense froyo frf 91 has been leaked. so i guess thats what well be waiting for
Has HTC even finalized a 2.2 rom? Aren't all of these 2.2 roms leaks anyhow?
I doubt it.

It's the basic Mac vs PC/Linux thing. You want it to look pretty, or do you want to be able to make it do whatever you want?
This isn't even worth a debate, lets all celebrate the fact we've invested in a platform that allows us these opportunities to say the least. If you can't decide, install both, make nandroid backups of both and alternate at will.

Alpha3 was a bit too blotchy for my tastes. I do agree that its browser is awesome though. Honestly, after rc1 and millions of nightlies; I'm not looking forward to cm 6.0 final. I appreciate the cm teams full on efforts. They rock! I just can't stand anything other then the stock launcher. I wonder if I'm the only one that feels this way about adw and launcher pro. Their features are nice but what good is it if its gonna freeze, crash or become unresponsive. Thoughts?

im with you on that one. the launcher was one of the main reasons i left cyanogen. but i flashed my stock launcher2.apk and it wasnt bad. cm 6 is choppy itself for now.
try evils rom. its not bad.
Y'all should try Enoms ROM too. I personally like LP better than ADW and never had FC on it. But enoms stock launcher is great too.
Nah. I'm enjoying stock 2.2. Haven't had one single issue since I flashed it. Very reliable. I hope cm6 gets done up with a stock launcher.
I wonder what cyanogen.. or paul feel about this.. Do you think android developers react to user made modifications? of course. This is why i love my nexus one. I pray google makes a adp3. I love options and im grateful for all the developers doing what they can. DONATE!
After reading this... I may try out Paul's R23, I love CM6, but I wouldn't mind trying out a Sense ROM for a day or so...
Can you choose between LP and ADW when you install CM6?
I'm using Paul's R23 after switching from Enom's. Its definitely smooth and beautiful but really isn't on the same level as Enom's or CM6 (which I used to have). It still has alot of isssues (recording, bt, a2sd), and maybe I was spoiled by the OC'd, UV'd kernels but it just feels slow to me. And can't even compare to the benchmarks I was hiting before in Quadrant.
Its still new though and hopefully progress will be made in these areas.
It would be great to see more than just a couple of devs working on this port.
Just my 0.02.

Hey i was wondering if there were any new gingersense roms that are only 2.1 with no added 3.0 features. as much as i like 3.0 i find all the roms a bit buggy. i think its due to the low memory and big file size of the 3.0 apps
im just looking for a full sense 2.1 rom so i can have the pull down toggles and the new app drawer. any roms out there?
I am currently running the Optimized Gingersense Beta 1 rom. It is strictly Sense 2.1 and is very stable for me. I have been using it as my daily driver since it was released. I know the latest Betas have been a mix of Sense 2.1 and 3.0, but I am waiting for them to become a little more stable.
Good luck.

That rom incorporates bits of Sense 3.0 as well. I think the idea of a 2.1 port would be great!
EDIT: I missed the beta 1 portion, my apologies.
what are some of the bugs in beta1? mms?
yea i dont think it would be to much to change. the lockscreen and weather app are a big bulk of the size i believe
I would also love a stock sense 2.1 rom

Arent all of the Sense 2.1 ports GSM based? Everytime I used a Z Rom or Sense 2.1 or 3.0 (Whatever hybrids they are now) I would get phantom calls, funny mobile data switching, and the like.
If there was a CDMA based port perhaps this would all be moot?
There's a Thunderbolt gingerbread leak that one of the devs said he'd look into seeing if it was easy to port - assuming data worked when he tried. Not sure on his progress... but I too would like to see a stock 2.X rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996193 - link to TBolt leak.
warm z 2.0 ran wonderful on my phone and i had no phantom calls. these were some problems for others i believe. its just hard coming from warm z which was super smooth and going to a 2.1/3.0 hybrid with all that bulk and then getting lag in places i never experienced before
I'm behind this one too. Not saying that the 2.1/3.0 hybrids are bad, rather quite the opposite. They are amazing ROMs with amazing developers behind them. Just the 3.0 features create lag in places and eat just a little too much of our quite limited ram for what I do with my device. Would have made a full stock 2.1 with the new fixes myself except ... lol ... I don't know how.

I would love to see a port right from the EVO Shift...it's cdma and some 2.1/3.0 ports are already floating around out there...nothing it stock 2.1 though.
I think you will find that the 2.1/3.0 Roms have come a long way. Nils ginger sense is getting great reviews. If you have a spare 30-40 minutes, flash Newts Hybrid. He has fixed a lot of the issues. He just found the 720 cam fix and it also fixed the gallery. No lag in lock screen and no Rosie loading issues. Worth playing with.
not saying they havent, the definitely have, i just prefer sense 2.1 everything pretty much, at least for the dinc, only camera and weather do i like @ 3.0

Hey guys, I was just looking for your opinion on the best, and most stable rom for the incredible s, currently I'm running miui 1.9.9 and am pretty pleased with it, Im just wondering what else is out there, I tried htc bliss beta 2 sense 3.5 because i missed sense but it had camera issues so Im wondering what your opinion is and what youve tried
android revolution hd is the best hands down imo
"Best rom" is very subjective, as I'm sure a few other people will point out. I for one am using CyanogenMod and can say that I am very happy with it and don't plan to change any time soon. If you want to find more roms you can go take a look at the Development section of the Incredible S forums, there you will find threads concerning roms that you can try out for your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1028
Hope you'll find something that suites you,
Cheers!
I agree with scoob on this one rev HD deff is one of the most stable ROMs out there. Cyanogen is very stable as well however I can't get over not having sense. I'd choose from those two both awesome HD is super fast while cyanogen is slightly slower yet is highly customizable and does not include sense.
well, as pointed out , the choice is very personal.
it depends on your preferences as there are some differences in most of the major roms.
so far i've tried ARHD, CM7, MIUI & Virtuous unity.
CM7 is quite good if you are interested in having a non-sense rom but the functionality, stability is top notch. CM7 has set a standard not just for stand alone developers but for corporate production as well.
ARHD is a very popular rom and most people using it will swear by it.
it is sense based, and it will feel like a charged up stock rom.
very professional as well.
MIUI is what i used the longest & i must admit it is a brilliant rom in the fact that it stands out in appearance & customization.
every app and every part of the system is beautified and it feels like a totally different phone. if you are looking to have a 'different' yet amazing phone, MIUI is the way to go.
but the major drawback with MIUI is that it is not officially supported for the INCs and thus there are some minimal bugs which can get a bit annoying.
And of course it has no app drawer, works like the iphone.
this can be handled by the wonderful app created by a member here called alt drawer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
i feel this is a must for MIUI.
finally, using VU at the moment and i feel it is a perfect blend of sense components and that little something extra.
looks, feels and works amazingly well, minimal bugs and almost feels like the perfect rom again...
i did however run into a few loop boots recently, but i think that can be worked on.
that's my personal opinion on all the roms...
and i think it would be a good opportunity to give a heartfelt 'thank you' for all the developers here working so damn hard on providing world class roms for us.
Thank you guys, we all do silently thank and appreciate all your efforts!

Inc S is officially supported at miui.us. The two things I miss with MIUI is SRS and handsfree mic. Other than that, its the best lightweight rom available for Inc S atm.
MIUI with Tiamat Kernel works very well.
If you like Sense 2.1 or 3.0 i prefer ARHD.
If you don't like Sense i would go for CyanogenMod 7 Nightly #68.
But that's just what i think ;-)

i've been a user of ARHD, it's the most popular if i may say and developer is very responsive. i haven't gotten to try the other ROMs on an extended time but i'm pretty sold to the ARHD
I'm using CyanogenMod 7 and love it - very fast, good battery (after clearing battery data), and lightweight.
However it is the first ROM I've flashed and while I'm very happy with it, I'll still try others just to see what there is. But if you haven't tried it, give it a shot -you can easily download straight from the ROM manager app
i like revolution hd,but its sense 2.1
Im using arhd and it improves the batt life too. My first rom i flashed on my incredible s.
I'm using virtuos rom v2.37 by far the best rom with sense 3.0!! I've tried them all but the virtuos rom runs very smooth and no fc's.

I m using ARHD 1.1.7 with sense 3.0 patch. everything works fine. however the guy who don't like sense UI must b use CM7. it comes with a lot of customization. miui also a good one. but i dun like it , lack of appdrawer. look like with iphone.
