I'm curious...what is everyone's ICS distro of choice for the Nexus One?
i.e. BCM / TexasIce / MIUI
No bashing allowed...only critical conversation please!
I'm using BCM as I like to have the Cyanogenmod features.
+1 for BCM9
BCM is running pretty smooth and with good features.

Damn.
That's a lot for BCM.
I'm currently running TexasIce. No problems. Smooth as silk.
What does BCM have over TexasIce? Have they fixed the video camera FC?
CyanogenMod 9 I don't care about the video camera, rarely use(d) it.

Gotcha.
So what does BCM have over TexasIce? I'm in no way trying to poke holes in anybody's preferrence. If anything, I'm looking for a reason to flash BCM here. Is BCM basically just TexasIce with the CM9 toolbox? Is one any more "AOSP"-ish than the other?
As I said, BCM has CyanogenMod 9 over TexasICS. I got really used to CM7, and CM9 is no different (some functionality is still missing though). I tried TexasICS a few times, but I feel like BCM fits my needs more than TexasICS. I don't have anything against TexasICS, and I don't think people should see these 2 ROMs as opponents.

I got you bro, but my question is still pretty unanswered.
To begin with, I'll say that I LOVE the CM team and all their work. The CM ROMs are minimalist, yet customizable, ultimately providing an android experience that's unadulterated by even the slightest carrier modifications. Plus it's tailored for the power user.
I know this, but that's not quite what I'm looking for in the answer.
I'm simply wondering, besides being associated with the cyanogenmod team, is BCM more stable/closer to being a complete, bugless AOSP distribution of ICS than TexasIce?
I gather that they have not fixed the video camera FC- something that's not a big deal to me.
For example, this is the list taken directly from the TexasIce thread of things that are NOT working:
Gapps might not work properly (search the thread for fixes before posting issues)
USB: MTP / PTP / Tethering
wifi ad-hoc (might work)
Builtin alarm clock app doesn't work 100% of the time.

*Anything in blue doesn't really bother me...and the gapps issue is an old wive's tale
I'm curious about whether the stock alarm clock app is buggy in BCM as well, though.
While it's not on the list, an FC when hitting 'record' in the stock video camera app is the only other major issue. Apparently this is due to having to fix something with the stagefright video encoder
What I'm wondering is- Has BCM fixed ANY of these things as of right now? Or are both ROMs on the 'same page'?
The Gapps that I installed with BCM are all working 100%. Never had any FC or freeze. The USB issues I wouldn't know because I never use it for anything other than ADB/Fastboot. Wifi idem dito. Alarm clock is working 100% for me, never missed any early class. I don't believe I've read anything about the alarm clock not working in the BCM thread
Also, I believe BCM doesn't have the Screen of Death which some TexasICS users are experiencing. But it's the same with every ROM: it can work perfectly on one Nexus One, while it sucks on the other.

Awesome bro that's what I'm looking for.
Ultimately, I've got no real allegiance to one brand or the other. As I said, I love the CM team and what they do. I'm all about results though, and if they're a bit behind TexasIce than I'm not interested.
By the sound of it, though, this isn't the case. I appreciate your input man.
Just flashed TexasIce ICS yesterday, but it looks like I might be flashing BCM today.
Thanks again for the info bro.
Just wait a few hours and somebody else would recommend TexasICS
Please let us know what you think after you've installed BCM!

Yeah, likewise, I haven't tried TexasIce, but the known problems listed as being present in TexasIce (aside from video recording), are non-issue in BCM.
One thing I did discover though - if you take TexasIce's latest Kernel (he posted it in a thread) and put that in BCM, BCM becomes just as fast (or faster) than Cyanogen Mod 7! No hindrance on battery life either. I was in shock - a full speed / slick / stable ICS on Nexus One...now if the video recording / camera scanning features were enabled, this would be 100% fully operational.
I have used both.
Both are equally good and stable but I was on Bcm at the end for a while before I switched to sensation xe.
I preferred bcm due to no SoD issues(drewis kernel solved it later on also) , ease of install and configuration also I was having 3-5 random restarts on tesaxice but seldomly had on bcm, once a week if any.

Really quickly, I know BCM is ported from the HTC Desire/Bravo CM9. Now, I know the Desire and the N1 are almost identical, the only differences being the N1's trackball and capacitive buttons (as far as I know).
So, question: Does the N1 port of the Desire's CM9 distribution have all the N1's hardware working correctly? Trackball wake and notifications? Any/everything else?
Ultimately, even though it's a port, is BCM being developed with the N1 in mind?
Thanks for the info fellas.
+1 BCM with Drew Kernel

The opposite wouldn't be an upgrade.
You are not even making any sense. "Only one core is visible"? Visible to what? Maybe some outdated app may not represent it correctly, but rest assured that both cores are working.
CM *is* stable. In fact, the nightly builds have been more stable than the so-called "official" ROMs from certain OEMs. Missing features? There are only 2: the A2DP BT profile and FM Radio.

The myth that Android 2.2 makes more cores than one useless is continually perpetuated. It's incorrect as you pointed out, and people should check their facts.
However, CM is not stable on my O2x. It often black-screens when charging with wall charger, and sometimes black-screens for no apparent reason. Other issues for me are that the sound quality for the other party is plain awful, regardless of what basebands and RILs I've tried. Using BT headset fixes that however.
This might be my device that's defective (regarding the crashes, the phone sound quality is quite known), and yesterday I installed the latest stock for my region (EURO Open) to see if that indeed is the case. The latest stock here (10D) doesn't feel very slow, and the phone sound quality has greatly improved.

I should probably count my blessings because I have not seen the issues you describe, with either the stock ROM or CM.
I can speculate HW issues (e.g. LG's manufacturing defect, nVidia's or other suppliers' defect, or just plain ol' HW revisions) just based on the fact that some never had it while the others continue to experience the problems.

Let me re-phrase: "using a o2x with a stock rom doesn't feel like using a dual core phone."
With the original rom, the o2x is far less snappy than a Nexus S. LG O2X can show up a better hardware on paper, but the crappy software implementation makes it feel far less snappy.
CM is still not stable for my setup Phone/Baseband/Provider. I always had diverse problems, from nightly #1 to #127 (didn't test them all of course). Now this is not to criticize CM: they never pretended to be stable and are for sure doing a incredible job with what they've been given. But someone coming from Nexus S cannot expect the same level of stability. It's up to you to see if you can live with it or not.
well . i guess i need to wait and see first .
yeah nexus s is fast and stable , load it with any custom roms , it is great .
thanks for you all comment and reply , it is because o2x is the cheapest dual core phone out there.
Cant we just put the samsung's rom from the galaxy r on it? ahaha
Personally I went from O2X to SGSII to NS and now back to O2X.
NS (Nexus S) of the tree I had, none where ok, first flash not working scratching sound on phone. Second allot of pixel errors. Third one pixel error bad built quality. After all the O2X is a great combo of features, great built quality, and gingerbread just around the corner, would not hesitate a bit getting the O2X over the NS.

You missed another 'feature' - unreliability.
Also, why did you ditch the SGSII ?
CyanogenMod for the Vibrant currently contains intermittent issues with the emergency dialing system. I strongly urge you NOT to use CyanogenMod on the Vibrant until they can be fixed.
Help by testing a test CM9 build for it
awesome! nice to have you as "The bringer of CyanogenMod", if it wasn't for this great community, vibrant would be dead!

It still lacks proper TV out (no hardware decoding). And I'm not sure whether the mute/unmute bug has been solved or even whether the GPS is truly functional... apart from those, yep, the ROM seems quite stable...
O never really use TV out or GPS so I wouldn't know, but the mute/unmute should be fixed by now,
the mainteiner is that one who deals with device specific bugs...ask him what's the status with those two.

I'm not sure if the mute-unmute bug is localized to Vibrant. (The changelog was copied from Captivate, which said the mute-unmute was hopefully fixed, Galaxy S also says it.)
(I'm not saying I won't I'll look into it though)
The mute-unmute bug is not fixed. I don't know about TV out, my cable is faulty. raymonddull tested it for me, he got black and white, which is more than I got, but his cable was faulty too!
GPS is most likely poo. Just flash YAGF2 or what ever works for you.

TV out works but only partially. Its quality is worse than Froyo's (Samsung's official) and it shows a black screen when someone tries to play a hardware accelerated video.
The mute/unmute bug most of the times is there.
GPS may work to some, it won't to most and the fixes are hit or miss on equal measure. Personally I have last had my GPS working on Froyo days. I know it's not a big deal for most people here on XDA, but for the rest of the world (outside XDA) GPS is kind of a big deal and it's one of those modules that makes smartphones to be "smart"...
Anyhow the situation for CM7 (on our Vibrant) is about the same as in those GB ports from i9000; i.e. most things work, not all. If one needs the full experience of the phone *has to* go back to Froyo ... sadly.

Hi everyone,
Are there any reviews or benchmarks for the various popular mods posted somewhere on XDA-Developers?
I have a Droid 3 - Bell Canada XT860 Atrix that is unlocked and just been rooted. Please suggest the best mod in terms of performance, drivers support, and battery consumption.
Thanks
XT860 and Atrix are different from each other. One difference is that the XT860 has a keyboard and Atrix does not.
You are right. This is XT860. Don't know why I added Atrix. So, can you recommend any of the available roms?
Best,
There is a thread ranking and reviewing all the current ics based roms, im on my device so im not linking anything. Its called DROID 3 rom comparison or something similar. Be aware all the ics roms have the same issues, due to the locked bootloader and the difficulties of running ics with a gingerbread kernel. Namely no hardware codecs for video camera, call volume issues, check the rom threads for specifics. That said aokp was my fav, lots of customization
Mavrom 4.0 is the only gingerbread rom that still sees support. Liberty is pretty good, with some good customization, but you'll have to scroll down pretty far. Eclipse is nice too, you'll have to go to rootzwiki to get that. Liberty might be easier to find there too as it has its own subforum.
You should also know that any rom that isn't specifically for xt860 will need a patch to make data work. There's different patches for gb and ics. They both have threads
If you need more help finding any of this stuff il try to point you in the right direction but as I said, on device, no links
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
Thanks, I found the thread. It seems that AOKP and CM are the most popular.
"Namely no hardware codecs for video camera, call volume issues"
^^^^Is this going to change anytime or there is no hope for Droid-3 and ICS marriage anymore?
P.S. Does the camera work and is just not optimized? Call volume issue is annoying enough to want to go back or stock?
Thanks
I think both issues are being worked on... at least I haven't heard/read anything about devs giving up on them.
Camera seems normal (I'm using AOKP). Took a few pics so far. Panorama mode on the camera doesn't work. I don't think video recording works (I just tried it - when I hit the record button, nothing happens - I believe that has something to do with the video codecs not working). That said, there is a netflix issue (video codecs needed). I haven't noticed a call volume issue yet (but I haven't had it installed for very long).

Honestly who knows if will ever get the video. Its a deal breaker for me. I need to use Skype on my phone, so I'm running mavrom. I also found I get much better battery life with mavrom than any ics based rom, I tend to use my device a fair bit during the day and on ics it was always dying

Panorama feature is nice and I use it sometimes but I can sacrifice it for ICS. However, video not working is a deal breaker for for me. I won't make my move yet then. Stick this old ginger I am disappointed but THANK YOU all for opening my eyes to the issues.
ics isn't bad. the battery life is pretty horrid though i listen to music quite lot nd ics couldn't keep up with it. bus rides lol my phone would be t 40 by the end of school and on stock its bout 60 or 70. youtube works which i found found funny but yeah. install safeboot i think its called. it lets you try the rom and if you don't like it then just switch it back. I haven't tried ny gingerbread roms yet. might try mav rom. are there more or is there only 3? it kind of dissapointed me there is no fully working cm7 :/
title says it all...
Like I said in the thread
Both are very similar performance wise, and probably battery too since they have the same AOSP base and minimal changes
But I find CNA has more tweaks, it seems JB evolution is missing some things in rom control compared with Ice Cold and other AOKP roms, inclusing official AOKP B1 on my N7
I am sticking with CNA for the moment because there are more tweaks I use
I found with my N7 that roms were only different when it comes to looks, with JB as there is smoothness already
Kernels IMO are the biggest difference with JB, they are the hottest topics in the N7 section

Thanks for your comments
I've tried only Codename yet and noticed one unpleasant distinction: the color rendition is different from the one that I get used to. It's much more greenish and yellowish. It's well-seen when you are browsing web pages or use reading apps. The lower the brightness, the uglier the color tint. I have no ideas on how to influence that

My two cents, for a total of 10 hours running Codename. Previous ROM was the May version of Playground ICS (last one posted on XDA).
Maps run well, email has come in and what I've used works, today will be the "acid" test, I know Nik is going to update the Kernel on it so I've not loaded all my apps just the ones I need to get through the day. Texts work well, and Dogcatcher works. I took a few photos and the camera was a little odd but the pictures look good. I will edit and update as it goes to 24hrs of use.
I think codename is better cause has more features.
My report back, Full Day of work, a few phone calls several emails and me playing with GPS just to play with GPS (never worked well in Playground ICS). 16h 20m on battery and I'm at 27%. no crashes or need to reboot. BTW this is the codename version.

I've been running Codename for a few days now and it's one of the most stable roms that I've used. I did try Evolution for a bit, but I preferred Codename due to the extra features that it has, but you can't go wrong with either. Certainly some tweaks need to be made, but I've never had a crash or performance issues.
I am absolutely loving codename jellybean. its super fast and there are no force closes Thanks a lot Nik
I have flashed both and can't decide which one i like better?! Nether less they are both awesome roms! :good:
I have flashed both, tried each out for a day before I decided on Evolution, even though it has fewer tweeks something was just that more alluring. I am always amazed and greatful at the skill of the coders on XDA. I found both have similar FC problems on certain apps, which should help development and updating, if my common sense works.
No freeze yet. The only thing I have is my widgets disappear after reboot and I reboot because fonts go "fuzzy"

I am running Evolution and whenever I play a video it force restarts the phone after a few seconds. This includes with three different media players, plus the YouTube ad, although games run fine.
EDIT: Also crashes when using the camera (stock and 3rd party) when having the camera on for about 30 seconds. Also, I tried the Codename ROM and the same thing happened.
One more thing; I think the Codename ROM is actually smoother then the Evolution ROM.
Second EDIT: This fixed the video playback;
YouTube/Video playback reboots phone
This could be due to flash
Possible temp fix, go to settings > developer options > Disable HW overlays

With the latest update of Codename, my capacitive buttons have stopped working The previous one worked fine for me.

does camcorder or video work in paranoidandroid?
i honestly believe the best rom for htc incredible s right now is MIUI v4
ive tried codename, and in terms of just being a really nice rom with only one bug that i have encountered, and being incredibly smooth and fast, nothing else comes close for me.
edit. just noticed the title of thread - in that case code name for me too.
There have now been severel JellyBean ROMS released for the HTC Incredible S.
I was hoping that I could get some opinion on how well each one is working.
So far i have found the following ROMS:
Codename Android and JellyBean Evolution by Nic
There is a comparison of them here.
The thread pretty much outlines that they are smooth bountiful ROMS which they are. They work really well, however, I have noticed some extra things wrong with them other then the outlined ones:
-Loudspeaker does not work and breaks the mic for the call.
-Sometimes the text on the homescreen becomes blurred, you have to lock the screen for a while to get that to go away.
-The full screen videos crash the phone, the fix doesn't work on my phone.
The next ROM i have seen is the CyanVivo X mod. I haven't tried this one but it seems like it has all the same problems. Front camera doesn't work. Full screen vids etc.
There is one that has been released recently:
It is an unofficial CM release:
It seems to have solved all of the problems with the ROM, the front camera works, it seems like it is quick, the only thing it doesnt handle is video camera. Can anyone tell me about problems with this ROM.
I was hoping to make a good Thread which compares each of these ROMs and which ones are the best?
The first two are just ROMs to say you have JB on your phone, both are buggy but some people can live with this and use them daily. These were the first JB ROMs, the same Dev got them running then support stopped.
CV10 is the breakthrough JB ROM, Dev working on it and the ROM has potential. More stable than the first two ROMs as Dev focusing on the kernel, currently still got a couple of bugs which some people can live with to be able to use the ROM daily. Keep an eye on this thread for development progress and regular feedback.
CM10 has a ninja for a Dev, works in the background and appears absent from the forum. Then ROM appears. The ROM currently seems to be the most stable/complete JB ROM and has least bugs. Many people using this as a daily use ROM. But is the Dev still working on it to perfect it, how long until the next update... nobody knows!
I tried this ROM, battery life seemed short, I struggled to get a days normal use from one charge. Plus I wanted my video camera to be working so I can film my young kids when I needed to. Back on ICS/sense ROM now.
These are just my own crude opinions.

there is a paranoid android JB ROM by Nikhil: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863862
I had used the ones you have listed below as well as the paranoid android ROM.. i found the paranoid to be less buggy...give it a shot.. it is a very different visual experience.. the rom is based on CM9.. you will have some minor issues:
1. front camera won't work
2. Adjusting in call volume resets the ringtone volume
3. Google now may not work..
4. tablet mode won't have an option to enable USB connectivity...
...
Give it a try; apart from the above issues, it is a very stable ROM; i was on it for about 6 months with no issues..
1. It is a different experience altogether - not many tweaks is what I found but a visual delight
2. google now issue will be resolved after you flash the "4.1 to 4.2" package; it will also introduce photosphere: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991734

From reading the thread on the paranoid android it looks like it has more bugs then the Unofficial CM ROM. Things including permenant sleep and crashing with full screen video, which i experienced with the original ROMS from Nik.
The only problems I have with the Unofficial ROM is that the battery drains quite quickly (About 10Hrs on Battery with Juice Defender Pro), it can be a bit Laggy at times which i didn't experience with Niks ROMS and sometimes it doesn't quite wake up properly, (The button lights come on but you have to wait a bit for the screen)
Hi,
My experience with the ROM was different.. yes is an issue with the full screen video but the thread mentions the solution.. I did not have any issues with phone not-able-to-sleep... the battery was also good - it used to last atleast a day with good usage on calls...
With tools like 'Easy Battery Saver' it even touched 2 days with normal usage..
I was on the ROM for six months with no issues.. also i did not use the default launcher bundled with the ROM; I had installed APEX launcher rather..

Try turning off network based location in gps settings and rebooting the phone. it's a known bug with cm. :/
Are you only looking at CM/AOSP/AOKP roms?
I really don't think any are ready for daily use. Every one I used I thought was okay, then I needed to use the camera or some setting and it would crash. I'm going to wait for szezso to make a fully working kernel.
I think I'm going to test lacoste right now though... I'll tell you what I think.

I've been using dla5244's Unofficial CM10 for more than a week now. It's definitely a daily driver. With v2, even camcorder works wonderfully. I believe the v2 kernel is full featured and I can find no bugs at all so far.

If u want a stable n fast JB rom then u should try Lacoste 4.1.2... Its fast, smooth, battery backup is awsm, sweep2wake enabled kernel, n most imp its almost bugless...so give a try......

Lacoste is just another version of unofficial.. For me i prefer unofficial because dla did all the work, but in lacoste, it is just a couple of tweaks based on dlas rom..

I tried CyanVivo X, and it was awesome, except neither WiFi nor Bluetooth would turn on. I'll give the unofficial CM10 ROM a try!

I've been using Unofficial CM10 since it was released and scrolling is as smooth as it should be.
What CPU governor are you using? I once switched to Interactive with some bad tweaks which resulted in something like you're experiencing now. After switching to ondemand/smartassv2 everything is fine now.

Actually I read your previous thread about battery life so I tried it myself. Maybe I screw something up.
