Hi ....
Perhaps you can help me and say which rom is the stablest and smoothest and fastest for the LG Optimus 2X P990 ... i have tried a lot of roms but they all have bugs ...
The fastest and stablest for me was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032419 and then the 1.5 a version i think but the new version should be fine.
CM7 is also good since it uses less battery but there are some bugs in it still.
I'm a bit of a newbie to the O2X but I've tried a few roms and I've found that the modaco fr15 fear edition is pretty much like stock with a few nice tweaks so it's very stable from what I've seen so far, they've stripped pretty much everything out that you don't need so it's pretty quick too (well very quick).
I've put the over clocking kernel on too and with it over clocked to 1.4 ghz I've got 3976 on Quadrant. But after a while I started to get a few fc's so I put it back down to stock and everything was fine again.
I'm not saying this is what you should do, but I'm just letting you know my experiences with what I've tried so far.....
Also new to this forum. Anyway, I am using Fear r15 and have no problems at all. Very smooth, although I am missing some of my favorite LG Widgets ( Memo and Calendar ) , it is the stability without lags that made me switch to Fear ROM.
I'm on Modaco FR16(beta 4), and it's fast & smooth, and kind to your battery. My only problem is that my Exchange account keeps on disappearing, but it could be my Exchange server.

I'm thinking of going onto this rom cos I have noticed the fast battery drain on fr15... But i have only had the phone for a couple of days and i didn't really get a chance to see what it was like on stock, so I don't know whether its normal.
One thing I did notice was the fact the the music app is constantly running and even my task killer wont stop it. I know I probably dont need a task killer but its habit since I had my G1 many moons ago...
I'm using the CM7 nightlies and am very pleased with them. There are a few bugs and issues to be worked out (eg: no 801.2x support for WiFi), but for the most part, I'm very satisfied.
I only lost 5% in 10 hours with GMail push on .

@ Zarras.
Thanks a lot. LG Memo and Calendar is up and running.
I'm running CM7 nightly as well. The battery drain is basically non-existence and everything running smoothly. It also has quite a nice collection of customization options. If you can live with a few bugs then it's the rom to go!

Install Battery Calibration, charge to full then calibrate battery
You can also do the same by charging to full then wipe battery stats in recovery.
CM has a full list of APNs if there are some which aren't in use delete them off.
Flash your Radio to 0218, seem to work better than 0405 regarding battery issues. This will be at the expense of some call quality, to me it is worth it.
I am using CM7 at the moment and I have no intention of switching back.
Ive been using CM7 build 20 for some days and there was several things that was missing. It was stabel, but was using a great deal of battery.
So I switched over til BlazingDragon v1.7. This one is working wherey nice. Its based on the stock LG ROM so its only Android 2.2.2. CM7 is ver. 2.3.4.
Now i see that Modaco fr17 is out, but there is so many custom ROM out there so now Im not sure what to.
CM7 is getting better for every built they give out, but its not that good yeat, but Im sure it will be great when RC versjon is ready.
how about WGSPOELSTRA?
Im very happy with the latest madaco. CM is still way to unstable.

Guys,
I'm a stability freak, kind of the opposite end of the planet from the CM7 nightly guys I suppose... I love the extra features that are in some ROMs, but Enom's ROM has lots of nice features and is rock solid stable.
But as we all know, he has taken personal leave of Android since December and maybe he'll come back, maybe he won't...
So for you all who want a stable ROM similar to Enom, what are you considering, or what have you already tried? I'm hoping CM7 gets stable and released in the next bit and I'll perhaps move to it, but I really don't want to leave Enom. However I've heard Gingerbread is a bit faster, better storage efficiency, plus fixes, etc..
I'd create a poll, but there's too many ROMs to really put in there I suppose and I'd inevitably leave one or two out, so I won't.
Really never had a problem with CM7. It never reboots and I always get my calls/messages. What do you need more stability from.
You could always try the stock rooted rom plus whatever extras you need.
I am currently using Geo's stock GB ROM. It is running pretty good. DT A2SD seems to screw with the phone volume. (Not sure how or why, but I tested this extensively over the last 2 hours and it definitely does something to it.) Battery life is a little bit lacking. Perhaps a better kernel will help that out. The only thing that is really needed is trackball wake/unlock. I hope someone can fix the code for GB soon. I never really cared for FM radio, so no loss there for me. Aside from the lack of Enom's spare parts, I am happy with it.
lets hope enom comes back to us (greedily ).. i think were all in agreeance when i say he has his priorities straight... all the best to enom..
aside from that, i enjoyed leos roms shortly after froyo was released. i think he was on personal leave as well just recently.. his spare parts reminded me of enoms as far as options. even though he doesnt have the 'hardware skills' necessary, id love to see more from leo..

Very happy with the speed & stability of Geo's GB rom!
CM7 RC1 running VERY well for me. No wonks, great battery.. stable and fast
Yes I am missing enomthers latest touch for the gingerbread ota. But family comes first. Right now I am using dsixda gingerbread rom with root, deodexe, dt's apps2sd, busybox. So far it is running good. Was on geo114m's gingerbread for a little while.
What I miss about enomthers rom is the ability to uninstall programs that you are not going to use. Now I have to semi cook a rom taking out the stuff I don't want. Only thing all of these ota gbs are missing is the trackball wake and alert. Might go back to the latest enomther until that happens.

I'm coming from Enom's ROM. I took the plunge and installed a couple of nightlies, and then CM7RC1.
I deeply regret it.
Even Dewonkifier didn't help me. Today my mic went silent and I had to reboot to regain it. I can't count the calls I've missed in the last week.
I don't like having to recompile it to build battery percentage.
Gingerbread completely sucks when it comes to launchers (or should I say it the other way around - all the launchers completely suck under Gingerbread). No launcher has been optimized to work with more than 5 screens - and that includes Go-EX / ADW / LP. They suck so badly I can't stand it. Nexus S has it the same way for almost 2 months - and it hasn't been fixed yet. I don't have high hopes of somebody fixing it too soon, until more devices with GB appear.
The only reason I'm keeping CM7 at this point is because I want to correct its RTL language support - it annoys me (specifically when mixing RTL and LTR languages, and more specifically - in punctuation). Plus, I hope to make it distinguish between LTR and RTL strings using a bit better algorithm than the "any RTL symbols in the string? => RTL string" current one. And make it adjustable under CM menus.
This week/weekend I hope to find enough time for it, test it, hopefully submit it (if I get a better solution than the current one), and I'm seriously considering going back to Enom's ROM, at least until one of the launchers gets GB-compatible and CM7 will be merged with GRI40 source and gets rid of the wonks. Never had this SMS bug for a year, don't think it'll bother me in another couple of months. And I don't use Copy-Paste nearly enough to justify GB sweetness. I'll really miss the screen animation...
Thank you very much kind sir.

This may actually be my first post here on XDA after countless hours of reading, installing, testing, tweaking and starting all over with my N1.
Your post title says it all. When Enomther called it quits, I figured my N1 had reached it's zenith and would live out it's days rocking The Official 2.14.4. This ROM does it all: Fast, many kernels available to play with, feature-rich, STABLE, did I mention fast?
Out of curiosity regarding the sheer number of threads, I just had to try an MIUI ROM. Tried the stock set-up from miui-dev.com. While I thought the graphics and integrated feature set was great, it was very buggy. Lots of little things just did not work as they should have.
I was not interested in CM7 as bloat seems to have sapped away speed over the last several months.
However, I have run the Gingerbread custom set-up put together by Geo411m and it rocks! Very stable so far, good battery life with the stock kernel, everything works like it should and the performance is excellent. Menus are snappy, web pages scroll smoothly...there are very few issues and I am thrilled that the N1s have a new lease on life.
Only two gripes about Gingerbread so far:
1) No Trackball unlock
2) No power widget integrated into the pull down - I LOVED this feature for toggling system states.
Other than those minor issues that I am sure will be addressed in future ROMs, I am thrilled with GB. Now if only Enomther would weave his magic once again...
Thanks to the great community that makes these phones so fun and powerful!

I'm with the TS when he says that he needs stability. CM7 up until RC1 was just not cutting it, too many wonks and quarks. I put CM7 RC1 on my N1 and it works, but I ended up back on Kang - o - rama's version of cm6.1. Now that I've seen Kangorama release a version with CM7, I may give that a shot.
One of my biggest concerns is memory. If I don't need the stock launcher or ADW, then I don't want to waste the memory there. Kang o rama really works that out with its advanced installer.
For now though, I'm more than happy with Kang o rama. My N1, my gf's N1, and my roommates N1 all are running it and are VERY pleased.
So not surprisingly overwhelming CM7 responses.. So maybe I'll try that as well, but I'm still going to wait until CM7 is released and the "wonky" stuff is fixed.
It's funny how some of us are having polar opposite experiences with CM7 RC1. Really good for some and totally lousy for others
I guess it depends on the usage, and on the level of stability required from the ROM...
I think if I was used to rebooting my phone once in a couple of days - I wouldn't notice some of the problems. If I wasn't used to having 7 screens filled with widgets and icons - I wouldn't complain about the launchers and GB. If I had a lot of calls - possibly I wouldn't have the phone idle for enough time to wonk out. Some uses make the problems more visible.

I'm running this one as well.
I've found it to be extremely stable and even better battery life than Enom's. I've also seen an improvement in bluetooth connectivity.
I miss most the status bar power control widget, better trackball notification and the flexibility of his spareparts mod.

these are the exact two features I'm missing from the GB roms out there. I tried Geos GB rom and after a few hours I couldn't deal without having these features.
I am seriously thinking about instalying cm7 nightly on my phone. But before i do i have some and i was thinking maybe you can help me out.
1)I was readying that everything works exept for the radio. Is that true? and how does the gps work as good as in gingerbread?
2)How is the battery life compared to the stock gingerbread rom?
3)Is it stable enough for every day use?(i don't mind if i have to "adjust" something here and there i just don't want to miss my cals amd sms).
Thnx in advance.

hi.
1) everything except radio is working. Radio is even semi working on the latest builds.
GPS is sometimes stable and sometimes not. Can't day it was better when I was on stock ROM.
2) there are some battery issues, but I can make it last a day with moderate use
3) wouldn't say so. It is still in nightly build and no stable release is available yet.
I'm using it as my daily driver, but I don't mind some bugs here and there since the ROM is blazing fast.
My 2 cents on the matter
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I had it installed for about a week. Didn't try the radio but everything else seemed to work.
Was a bit unstable at times but I could live with it. I couldn't live with the battery life though so reflashed samsung firmware.

To answer all three questions ...
1) FM radio works in the most recent builds. As GPS is about the same as on stock roms. The hardware is the hardware after all.
2) battery life is just? Like on the stock rom ...it depends on a lot of factors. If you are one of those people who claims to get three days on a charge, then you will disappointed. Most users get between a day and a day and a half of normal use per charge with much greater performance than on stock roms.
3) I feel it is ready for daily use if you are the sort who enjoys regular updates and tinkering . However ymmv so the only way to know how you will like it is to flash it and see.

what he said ^^
battery life was fine for me and i last used CM about 2 months ago !!! so it must be even better now
its the same as MIUI except from the layout, and i been on MIUI since CM7 - 2 months. and it is definitely stable enough for day to day use.
everything works for me and fm radio does too !! but if it acts up, i just switch data on and listen to radio online, so thats no issue for me.
I would HIGHLY recommend you try it, the speed is well worth the little bugs. it will blow you away compared to stock / samsung based ROMs.
and if you like CM7 soooo much, take 10 mins to switch to MIUI and you will be even more amazed
and if you dont like it, just go back to stock. at least you can say you have tried it
Big thankyou for everybody that answer my questions.

True.
I will try it first thing in the morning. since i have to recharge my phone.
rschenck @ i am going to fallow your tutorial, but i noticed you sad that you need a froyo bootloader, why is that?
And 1 more thing: If i want to update cm7 do i allways need to reinstal all the apps or i can update the phone without wipeing all the data?
you can update without losing your apps, thats not a problem
and as for the froyo bootloader, you need this for sd card reasons mainly, amongst other things.
sometimes people cannot use internal nor external sd card, because of not having a froyo bootloader, thus resulting in most apps not working, camera not working and so on.
I was just like you... and i have decided to flash CM7 two days ago:
Really surprise, it's fast and stable.
No problem with call/sms.
Gps and battery life is ok like samsung rom.
Heavy 3D games like Dungeon Defenders work well.
But no TV-out, it's my only problem with this rom...
well i don't use the tv-out feature so i think it is ok.
Hey all,
As I've posted occasionally on other messages, my O2X was a launch device which had BSOD problems. Had hoped that LG would fix with software but alas no so sent for repair and now have it back all flashed to stock.
Question is what now. I'm going on the basis that they've fixed it (lord knows I want to believe that!).
I had previously installed FR19 which I liked for near to sock google feel.
But I feel that I should use this chance to go to a GB rom.
Has their been a poll done recently on what ROM peeps are using and their recommendations?
Would love this or your guys opinions on what to use.
Thinking either modaco GR4, Cyn nightlies or Cyn 7.1.
I would love as stable as possible as use it as main phone.
What do you guys think?
Cheers
No issues on topogigi 1.9 apart from a spontaneous restore rebooting once.. fixed with a rom backup
Gr4 all the way
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
if you don´t mind reflashing new versions quite often : CM (for me)
i like daily development ...
think I'm going to try 7.1.
But will first flash a new BB.
End of the day nothing to lose as it's stock at the moment and sadly didn't backup correctly before I sent it off.
What's the best way to backup apps and settings etc?
IMHO go for topogigi 1.9. It is stable enough for an everyday use, light and super fast (combined with the V6 SuperCharger and the HorsePower kernel).
But if you have to choose between "GR4, Cyn nightlies or Cyn 7.1", choose CyanogenMod. It is more stable than GR4. And BTW CM 7.1 is nothing more or less than a nightly version.
EDIT: Use Titanium Backup for backing up all your apps and system data, although I don't recommend backing up system data, especially when upgrading from froyo to gb.
(OFFTOPIC: I hate this five minutes waiting time when editing, it is sooo irritating...)

I agree, the best is titanium backup. For me because of the. Batch backup which I have set to run every Wednesday and Friday at 10pm just so it backs any new apps iv got and also I really like the market links as I haven't found another backup which does it (haven't looked that hard as I found TB quickly). You have to be rooted to be able to do this, just I case you were wondering.
Thanks all for the messages, will give horse kernel a go. but whats the difference between the 32bpp and the 24bpp downloads?
Also any recommendations on baseband to use? Was going to get the 725 GB one from modaco if that'll work?

The 32BPP version uses more resources than the 24BPP. You will also see a slight difference in vividness compared to the 24BPP. I recommend you to use the 24BPP, because I personally think it is enough for the O2X.
As for a baseband, I can't say for sure which one is the best, because some say it is 725, other say it is 622. I am using the 725 baseband and I am happy with it.
Dude, you're being a ledgend tonight thanks for the quick replies!
I'm now getting 725BB but cannot see a GB version so hopefully got the right one. Just seeing what other tweaks I want to make then I'll crack on.
Thanks again

All I can say from last night and this morning is....WOW
Installed topogigi 1.9, the SP, horsepower kernel, GB BB (725) and then the BGB theme.
Phone feels miles better than before.
Only thing I've noted is used Set DNS to speed up market but it gets granted super user every time from wake therefore slowing the startup.
Can live with a slightly slower market and therefore deleted it.
Cheers all
SetDNS grants superuser permissions every time from wake because your Wifi/3G is turned on at this moment. A way to get around this is to set Wifi sleep policy to never but this will drain your battery faster.
Has it SOD'd since the repair? Thinking of sending mine off but just don't want it to be a complete waste of time like I expect it will be
Haha I was same as you in terms of would it be worth sending it off.
Carphone warehouse inform me they replaced the main PCB and reflashed back to v10D on 405? BB (thats the only bit I could confirm they have defo done).
I've had it for 24 hours now, charged by mains twice, once on stock and once on topogigi 1.9 with HP kernel. No BSOD as yet. First time on stock was at work when I was almost guaranteed a BSOD, so fingers crossed.
It has got quite hot when I was downloading and installing apps last night, but no BSOD. Been hot a few times today as well but so far so good.
Will report back in a few days and let you know if it's still OK.

i used topogigi 1.9 with the "original" built in kernel (neoblaze), but i was not satisfied, due to some strange issues/bugs.
for the moment i would recommend you the following ROMs as really stable and having a good battery management:
- topogigi 1.7 SP1
- DJDroid 1.0 (i'm using that at the moment).
Well currently 1.9 with the HP kernel seems cracking to me thus far.
Only thing for me is waking up seems slow. Changed the lock screen to ripplelock free and its a bit better. But once you're in whips around good and proper. No lag between screens or downloading / installing from market. Much happier than stock and have to say better than FR19 which I used before sending for repair.

You can fix the slow waking up, just read the ROM FAQ by Topogigi Question 6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18146527&postcount=2126
Aha!!!
But which one do I change and to what (as in higher or lower value)) to speed up the wake function?
Sorry, noob like question but sort this and I love the rom thus far!!!

I have never tried to do it, TrymHansen has made an app for it, just give it a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296400
So, i got my handset like one hour ago, and so far i gained root access and made a backup of my original rom. Now it's time to install CM7. So, i found this link, and Nightly 20 seems to be the latest version out there. Nightly, that word makes me think that it is kand of a unstable beta/alpha version? Any experiences with any of these versions? And also, what is the NOVA rom i keep reading about around in here?
Well, novaROM is another rom based on froyo, cm7 is based on GB and it seems that the most stable is n17
As said elsewhere nightlies are something like debian testing... the dev makes improvements, corrects bugs... the dev's guru validates by reading the code of the commits... the bot (alas down this time...) builds it... and we guys use it and report bugs.
Can't be said stable but working. Read all threads and make your mind. Oh, and since the bot is down, someone built the code himself, with the dev's agreeing. Call that private build 'kang'... seems good with aprold kernel v10. Give it a try. Make your own mind.

Thanks for feedback guys. ATM, i'm not sure if i need to change rom, i mean, i've gotten to change so much of the original rom now that it is beyond recognition. These are the apps i used so far:
- GO Launcher EX (With Notifications-extra)
- Minimalistic Text
- Super Status Bar
- WidgetLocker Lockscreen
I've also deleted a huge amount of LG stock apps using ES File Explorer, and i'm pretty happy about it so far. What i don't like is the colorful Dailscreens, i might have to look for some alternative there...
You can have them, I think. For example I made myself a zip with google's and my favorite apps so I don't have to reinstall and delete stuff everytime I try a new nightly. Next step is to backup preferences of each (and even put it in the zip...) and evetything's fine.
You'll get what you want by tryin. At least that's how I see it.
Well, after some more playing around now, i think i want to flash CM7, but i don't feel like using a nightly build, sounds to unstable for my taste. However, i'd really like a stabile GB rom (or ICS ). Isn't there any other one providing a stable solution? As stock or stripped as possible. Battery time is horrible with stock rom, hope this helps with a different rom...
Try cm nightly 17 with huexxx kernel... seems the less unstable but nothing more: no stable cm yet and maybe there won't for the dev seems to work now on ics... and still no lg stock gingerbread...
It's adventure or 2.2...
EDIT: In fact, redy's KANG seems the "stablest" or the less unstable with incomming call audio bug half fixed. Wifi bug with Nova or Huexxes...
I think we all need to accept the fact that battery drain is never going to be what we hope, it is the nature of the beast. All smartphone users (including iPhone) have the same complaint, but particularly our phone with its slim design (and therefore smaller battery) will never have long life unless you never use it!

please..the only thing i like about apple and its products is battery life..est they are just crap..with all those jailbreaks n ****..android rocks..and optimus black awsm..
bt i was thinking why devs left cm7 on nightlies..at least 1 stable rom should have been cme..well..its good to hear bout ics rom..hope it will cme soon
Well, how long will it take until Optimus Black gets CM w/ICS? I don't think P970 is on top of their priority list. About the battery, my LG lasts about 24h, while my HTC Desire lasts for 2-3 days, both sporting a 1 GHz cpu. Also, P970 has a marginal bigger battery, and HTC Sense is "bad for battery", that is common knowledge. I did read something about Beautiful Widgets draining battery as well, might uninstall it and see how it goes...
My little review about CM7 #20 with NOVAV11c Kernel by knzo. Sorry if it look like a noob review.
Overall nice, just like what I want of how android should, but without all google product of course.
Bug I got, quite laggy when OB connect to PC via bluetooth , wifi error when I turn it off meanwhile it connect to my PC via bluetooth, but when not, wifi are good
Battery: drain a lot in default governor and quite save in LIONHEART governor.
Antutu score: 26xx in default launcher and 2492 in GO LAUNCHER EX.
Btw anyone knows how to make it battery saver?
Hello there, seems you comes from the same country with me
Just remember that CM P970 is still under development, the source code hasn't completed yet, so don't expect too much Well, how many hours your battery life from 100% to 0%? As my regular usage, up to 24 hours till 30 hours lifetime. Battery saver depends on users experience.

you got me
Maybe up to 24 hours, I'd like to use up to, because it didn't touched 0% till next charge. Let's say I charged my phone last night (about 8pm) and get about 10% this afternoon (3pm). I thought 10% seems can be severals hours in idle

Huh? My 10th rom? What is it? I don't have it...
If you refers to Nightly Build #10, that's not from me.. That's official CM Nightly Build.

oh,sorry,i mean the 20111210 one .it really works better than others ,even the latest ones.Waiting for your better rom!
I thought to bring this to everyone's attention https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts/gtGAn4BVvWs
Hey guys, I've been changing roms alot recently and was wanting one that's nice and fast and has decent battery life.At the moment I have ARHD as I hear quite alot of good thoughts of it, but I think it's pretty average. It's slow and choppy. I've tried a reflash and I got rid of everything on my SD (I knew it wouldn't work, but thought I'd give it a shot)
So yeah, thoughts? Preferably one which has a kernel which supports OC'ing. Needs to be fast and nice to use, thanks all
This should really have been posted in General!!!! But according to me, try Virtuous Infinity (Still in Alpha but every feature except WiFi Hotspot Works) or try CoolDroid Revolution S by SurajKumar. If you want to try Virtuous Infinity: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30873-virtuous-infinity-v1300-alpha1-general/

Lol yeah, just noticed I put it in the wrong forum, if a mod/admin sees this, please move it
And thanks for the suggestions!
Ice Cold Sandwich 8.3 - You will appreciate the potential and amazing-ness of Android since you have no Sense and its an AOKP/AOSP. Battery will last for 2 days minimum with v4 Kernel. I'd say try it out, you won't be disappointed...you'll find that Sense is a waste of space and battery.

Most of the times you can't record video, sometime it does but sometimes it record videos with strange lines.
I'll chip in with an opinion...
CM7.2 RC3!
I've been trying all the other roms that come out just for fun and some of them really are great but I can't help myself - I keep returning to CM7.2 after a week or so of each... It just works perfectly in every way, it's fast, stable and has a great battery life. Can't really ask for more. Second place is The Incredible 1.1 but that's not a surprise seeing as it is a mod of CM - the only thing not so great is the use of Launcher Pro instead of ADW but I guess that is down to personal choice.
Anyway, in the unlikely event of you not having tried CM7.2 I'd say fire it up

I read that a lot here.. that sense is a waste of battery but In my experience it has been the opposite. I had Ice Cold Sandwich for a few days and the battery life was terrible... Tried all the kernels with it...stock, tiamats, v3, v4 etc but no luck..changed radio to the latest but still the same battery drain problem... got frustrated so switched to sense with ARHD ..battery life way bettter..the best battery life i got was with NIK's trinity rom... but wanted ics so opted for arhd....

Don't know why you found battery life terrible...sometimes it's also a matter of what you like really...but once you try open Android you'll start fully appreciating it and start hating Sense from my experience...different people different opinions though.
The incredible 1.1: fully stable and using supercharger actually slows it down. It's lightning fast after install.
i too found that with the IceCold series up until 7.2/7.3 battery life was horrible. Sense roms seem to give a very good battery life lasting me well over a day. and i prefer the sense ui way better than stock aosp/aokp roms.
Well I'm back with ice cold and it is great! Haven't used it since 7.0 or somwthinf,... its just so much better compared to sense. Its faster and looks way nicer. Only thing is mms doesn't work. *sad face*

In IceCold 8.4 there's a solved MMS/SMS issue - at leat the one I had and I was one of the first people who experienced the problem in the first place. Plus if the automatic settings don't work out, the manual override is working without a glitch .... So it's fully working ROM for now but depends on how you install it/download it and other stuff.... It's all written in the thread but so far there's no other ROM that's as fast and as stable for me. Battery wise - I got through a full day of at least an hour talk time, browsing, WiFi moderate usage and I still have at least 50% when I get home. And my phone is on 3G/H mode all the time - on 2G/EDGE - it lasts two days :good: If that's bad you need Motorola Razr MAXX with the 3,3Ah battery

Dont get me wrong.... I love the openness and customizability of asop aokp roms. But right now they lack the stability that i desire.

My own choice,you should try WE_WANT_ICS_V3_By_Nikhil007. I used it for a long time,stable,fast,smooth,no FC or Auto Restart and good battery life. I upgraded to V4,but I'm back to V3 now. ^_^

Already tried it and it is great, seriously. That and playground are the best ICS roms I've tried but I still found myself back on CM7 after a week or so... Probably because of the reason below:

Apart from CM7.2! As it's GB based it is rock solid and everything works flawlessly. I use maps a lot and MMS too a bit and the compass works perfectly in maps and MMS is not an issue. No FCs, no compatibility issues (the earlier ICS roms seemed to be incompatible with some apps but that seems to be resolved completely now) and just no worries at all.
It'll be a different story once the devs get hold of the kernal source of course... once that happens I'll be grabbing CM9 so fast it'll get whiplash!
The only gripe i have with AOSP/AOKP is the camera.
It just cant churn out the same quality that the sense roms can
