Both of them are great ROM but Ice cold sandwich has a better support and is updated faster at this time. Maybe it's because it's still in beta and it won't last, but you have more chance to have an update than with Virtuous Quattro.

would that slow it down since its actualy download the HQ version?
While i loved quattro, the camera was not always need but annoying when i didn't have it. The youtube made me leave it. Everything else was nice. I was waiting for a update to go back into it. It seems like everyone isn't having a working camera.
My GF on CM9 with her NexusS has working camera and youtube. makes me mad.
The youtube LQ/HQ problem is due to the video acceleration (and decoding), which is a problem universal with all unofficial HTC ICS roms and probably non-HTC phones too.
That is what the rage about the qualcomm OMX core libraries is all about.. it was used in previous platform releases in gingerbread, froyo.
For videos, Ice Cold is already halfway there - the OMX libraries are installed and working in the latest version, but code must be implemented before it can be fully working.
With the camera, it is always a work in progress mostly by twistedumbrella and nk111 whom continued to develop on the camera after zbwu86 released it. Front camera is supported in Ice Cold. Right now, the only issue is to figure out what is the cause between the glitches in photos half the times then we can all move on with a fully working camera.
Thx for your quick response guys. I am going to try Ice Cold Sandwich now as it's not in alpha version now and stable for daily use. Specially thx to kaijura
Hi,
I have IncS unlocked from htcdev with Hboot 2.00.0000.I installed Virtuous Quattro RC4.
I want to install IceColdSandwich Nutella edition but it requires kernel changing.
Here is my question Can i install the IceColdSandwich without kernel change ?
or how can i change the kernel without s-off ?
Thank you.
Ice Cold Sandwich youll be happier.

Yes you can use Ice cold sandwich without kernel change but I reccomend to use Tiamat kernel for smooth operation and you have to flash Tiamat kernel by putting zip card in SD card and flash as same as ROM flashing but with S-OFF only.

IColdSan is SICK but remember to read the install notes about the kernel and pray we raise enough money for a new phone for the 'Man' , yeah but I love this ROM also because there are many similarities between well just try it lol
Hi,
I installed the Ice cold sandwich to my Incs with hboot 2.00.000 unlocked from htcdev.com but it looks really unstable and laggy.When i updated the kernel with Tiamat_IncS-v1.1.4 the unlock button crashed.Is this all due to htcdev unlock ? Am i need real s-off ?
Thank you.
I believe you should be S-Off but try posting in the Icecoldsandwich thread, you will get specific help

Do i update the kernel first, and then flash the new rom? or the other way around?

first ROM then kernel, because ROMs themselves have kernels in them so if you flash the kernel then the ROM your kernel will get over-written by the one that comes with the ROM

i tried the one you used and had the same problem, then i flashed with Tiamat_Vivo-v022112 and it was stable.. try it, it should help
and no need for a full wipe for flashing kernels (though you can wipe the dalvick cache if you like)

Hi,
I was also using CM 7.2 RC1 and I switched to Revolution HD 2.3.0 and I dont intend to go back to CM 7.2 yet.
The battery life seems better with RHD and I am one of the few who likes Sense I guess.
The weather widget is pretty cool and I love the touch and focus camera app.
I also tried Nik Trinity... ROM but I went back to RHD for the better battery life.
I never tried an ICS ROM yet. Any suggestion ?
Signature. Everything runs better than expected.
Was running IceColdSandwhich and the ROM is great, but needed something more stable and didn't force the phone to restart every other time I tried to load Google Maps.
I'm on Android Revolution 2.3.0 now
Having been using Playground ICS for some weeks now. Switched from IceColdSandwich which is fast too but not as stable as Playground IMO.
Im still on trinity sensation XL, I find it fast, stable and it has excellent battery life.
I like to have everything rock stable, and everything working properly, which is why im still on sense 3.5 since about December when I joined XDA and rooted my phone.
Next on my hit list are playground ics and Virtuous Primmodonna. Any suggestions and opinions as to which one people like better?
Also, I find miui and other aosp gingerbread roms a little choppy or something, for some reason I get the impression that sense is much smoother, especially on a custom sense 3+ rom

ICS AOSP works surprisingly good considering I always prefer GB Sense ROM in the past. Current state of Playground ICS is very positive. Twistedumbrella is very active and new build is almost daily. I strongly suggest you give it a try.

Twistedumbrella got 6 builds for the past 10 days! And the latest build seems to finally fix the camcorder. Be warned, you'll be real busy!
How's the battery on playground? Does it have any issues that ice cold 7.2 doesn't have?

Hi,
I tested some versions in the time :
Stock ROM
Virtuous Affinity
Virtuous Quattro
MIUI (unable to connect network, and some bugs)
IceColdSandwich
I plan to test others like Primadonna when some issues will be corrected. And, why not try again a fully functionnal MIUI version. I'm looking too the Playground ICS.
I wanna stay on the ICS Roms ! ^^
After using IceColdSandwich for quite a long time and trying Virtuous Primadora, I finally got back to GB and Sense. I prefer Sense than AOKP or AOSP and even if I thought Virtuous Primadora was really stable and it had the best battery life I ever had, I missed the camera and went back to GB. I used Virtuous Affinity for a while, I liked it a lot but went to Trinity because it is more customizable. XxXPachaXxX finally made the ROM I wanted, Affinity with more customization : RunnyMede Xtreme v2. I'm using it since then.
Hello,
I flashed the Rooted Stock ICS Rom but found it very laggy. Its just too slow. So I have decided to flash a custom ICS Rom on my Incredible S.
Please advise as to which ICS Rom would be perfect for my needs. I am looking for a Stable and a snappy ICS Rom. Should I go with Android Revolution HD or We want ICS by Nik. Which of these are stable. Any other recommendations can also be suggested by you guys. Is there any stable Rom with Sense 4 or should I just stick to Sense 3.6 now. I like Sense so please suggest stable ICS Roms that have Sense 3.6 or 4.

I've used Nik Aura Rebirth for a while and it's a really stable and nice Sense ROM. Haven't had any issues with it (except camera not working at 8 Mpx but that's OK 'cause it works like a charm at 5 Mpx )
Also, I think that Sense 4A is better for our device since it was originally made more lightweight. To my opinion, it's much better than stock Sense 3.6.
But I need all the features working including camera. Does niks aura rebirth have a camera fix so that it could work fine

So it comes down to ARHD and Nick's Aura Rebirth Roms (found the camera fix in Project X Rom). Which one of these two is snappy, fast and stable? I need the fastest one of these two with good battery life and minimal bugs. Please suggest one of these guys.

I suggest you to try both. Android Revolution HD is popopular for it's stability and speed. But it is Sense 3.6. Nik's Aura Rebirth gives that feeling of a Sense 4 which looks lighter. It works great!
Just try both and you'll know by yourself.

Ice Cold Sandwhich has been great for me save for one thing,
If I reboot my phone I loose haptic feedback.
anyone know if that is a known issue, I tried searching didnt find anything.
If I wipe, re-flash it'll come back on. But the instant I reboot, its gone, and no amount of fiddling seems to bring it back on. I'd love to just ask in the Ice Cold Sandwhich thread, but as I'm a noob even with a legitmate bug or issue I'm restricted from posting.
So forgive me if this isn't the right area, I'm just going to keep asking in ICS threads until I can!

Nik's We Want ICS with Leedroid tweaks installed(supersmooth rosie) is about as smooth as they come. also has the most features working out of all of them.
only issue is that the mobile network seems to be "always on".
not an avid rom flasher but i myself have been a user of quite a number of roms including the latest miui..but i prefer and love ice cold sandwich rossi edition the most, for its simplicity and smoothness. so far no unresolved issue on ice cold.
I run super-wipe & install ARHD 3.0.1, but my phone still feel laggy. Not sure what happening.
Now trying 'We Want ICS", at this moment, 3D carousel smooth most of the time. Apps drawer sometimes lag. The notification drop down, If I pull down its fast, i can see it lag.
Hey guys, just out of curiosity, will we ever get Jellybean ported to the Captivate? If so how long does this process normally take?
Sorry I have no idea how these things work, not being impatient, just wondering.
Thanks
If you want it that bad, the TAJB port for I9000 works fine on our phone with the latest Devil Kernel
It's a slightly long process to get everything(SMS+phone) to work
1: clear dalvik, normal cache, and wipe data
2: flash TAJB .45
3: flash devil Kernel
4: search through thread and flash test modem for phone calls and SMS
5: place the audio_policy.conf from the nexus s port into the system/etc/ folder

There's another thread discussing Jelly Bean for Captivate. You might want to check that one. It doesn't have any firm timeframes for any of the ROMs to release a 4.1 version, but it does confirm that they're working on it.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775373, it works fine for me. Only things that do not work - Camera and Sound notifications. Otherwise, it is pretty awesome. :laugh:

Funny thing guys, Project butter hasn't been incorporated into the kernels yet. The v-sync and timings have to be messed with. So if you think it's smooth now, wait until project butter is actually running

That's ridiculous. I noticed an amazing jump in smoothness from the latest CM9 nightly to the V2 of the Jelly Bean ROM and if it's only gonna get better, I can't wait to see how fast it gets. Still very, very minor bugs that barely affect functionality at all, but man is it fast!
ya i noticed it was crazy smooth as well. but couldn't live w/o camera. so i went back to remics-ux. which is almost identically smooth imo. cant wait util we actually get project butter and a fully functional jb rom

Yes, the theme selection is only changes what the AROMA installer looks like. Blackout ICS is a Sense ROM. If you want something closer to a Nexus, as already suggested flash a AOSP or AOKP ROM.

You can do what I did when I tried blackout ICS, I used nova launcher to get the vanilla look and feel. But if you want to it to be stock try out ice cold 8.6.1 and download lgcamera from the play store. That has the closest feel and options of the dhd camera.
