[Q] New Touchpad, which ROM for stability? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Heya XDA, I recently received a unmodded HP Touchpad from a friend of mine, and I'm very much interested in loading Android onto; however, I'm not entirely sure which ROM I should install. I'm looking for a stable and fast version of ICS but I noticed that Cyanogen (CM 9 Tenderloin) isn't available yet in a stable form, so I was wondering what you guys recommend using.
Thanks

The CM9 official nightly is what I use/recommend.

I've been using Fat n Creamy which is based off CM9 and it has been quite stable for me. It adds working camera and a few other things. Last time I used the official CM9 nightlies camera still wasn't working, but it may be fixed now. As long as I keep the volume unmuted and enable the lock screen sound, then I never get reboots.

The camera has been fixed/working in CM9 nightlies for a couple releases now. FnC is great, but CM9 feels more vanilla to me. (do miss the webOS like recent apps being built in)

Best ROM as of right now?

Whats the best rom available right now for the N1? I haven't tested my N1 with anything in a while been running MIUI but I'm finding it to be sort of laggy now with apps installed.
Fastest? Hmm, pretty much any CM7 self-kang.
This one by samuaz is really fast: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416894
Is that the most stable rom available for nexus one right now?
with multiple full wipes to include system both are stable for me
with ICS by samuaz you need to follow op page exactly
Temaseks latest CM7 Kang with scroll zip is BLAZING
I use now ICS by samuaz, it's fast and really stable. But it's an alpha version!
When you think it's important to have a stable rom, then
use CM7. CM7 roms are as stable as stock, but better ;-)
worth upgrading to ICS or JB?
hello. I realize this thread hasn't been active in a while, but I am thinking to bring back my Nexus One from the grave so I can have a backup phone for my daughter to play with in the car/plane. I wanted to ask if it is worth installing ICS or JB ROMs that are out there. I just have the stock ROM in there now and I always struggled with low memory and lag with some newer apps, that's why I've upgraded phones (I've have a Galaxy Nexus now).
I don't have intentions to put a SIM card in there, so I don't really care about phone call features.. only purely from a processing and lightweight standpoint.
Has anybody played enough with GB vs ICS and/or JB and weighed if it's worth upgrading? I'm assuming that it's worth it because so many developers still have Nexus One ROMs... that's why I would just go ahead and install it, but then I'm thinking again if it's just going to bog down the phone if I'm going to only use it for simple games.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello! I have installed the CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v6.0 that is based on CyanogenMod and Evervolv, and works fine for me. I also have installed all the /data partition in the SD card with the A2SD script that is incorporated in the ROM... it generates some few lags, but I didn't have had any problem of lack of space again.
In my opinion, this is the ROM of JB that best preserves the native Android interface, and in my case is stable (until 7 days without to require a reboot!).
Other JB ROMs that users frequently use are PARANOIDANDROID and PixelDroid.
Thanks for the quick response! That is the ROM I was thinking of as well. However, just as a comparison, I'm thinking to flash a clean version of GB back onto the phone as well. Any recommendations on any GB ROMs as well? Thanks!

Sorry, but I can't help on it. I didn't install any GB ROM further than the stock ROM. In my opinion, I think that a stable, complete and functional ROM might be CyanogenMod 7.2. Maybe other XDA members can help you better on it...

No problem. I'll probably end up trying both out. Thanks again for the response. By the way, what do you use your N1 for now or is that you main phone? I was playing around with it yesterday and I still like it a lot - I always liked the trackball.

This is my main phone. In several times I though changing to other new Nexus device, but the screen size of new devices is too big for me! I like a screen size from 3.7 to 4.0, that is good to read mails, a brief navigation in the Internet, and other minor issues. For other intensive uses, I have my tablet Nexus 10 or my laptop.

stable ics

i have a galaxy s 9000.
i would like to install a new stable and fast version of ics.
i had installed ones but it's very slowly.
could you tell me a compatible version for my phone?
Try CNA 1.4.0 or AOKP 2.0.2 beta 23.
Both are very stable and have a good battery life. I use AOKP at the moment and am very happy with it. It has even a power save mode that can go into no-data or 2g-only mode when the screen is off (plus many other features like auto-sync schedule).
I'm using AOKP 2.02 beta 23 too and am very satisfied. Stable, smooth, lot of options,... And "BHuvan goyal" actualizes it constantly. One of the bests if not the best...

*sigh* what ROMS did you try? Why do you want to use ICS? What was "slow"? If you want a really really stable ROM, you should consider an official (gingerbread) one.
Otherwise: it depends on your needs and your usage (wifi, data, browsing, music, video, taking photos and / or videos, with what resolution, etc.). Try a few to see what fits best to you - my initial approach would be teamhacksung and ICSSGS.
AOKP ICS Rom 2.02
AOKP ICS Rom 2.02 Beta build 23 is great, I am running it at the moment and it is totally stable. I actually prefer the ICS Kernel from Devil, it has some more functions.

AOKP is also something else besides "great" and "totally stable":
Not updated/bug-fixed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22788547
Has potential to die while other devs progress.
AOKP
I have been using AOKP beta 2.02 for the last week and I love it!
It's really great! No FCs, good batterylife, no RIL issue. For now this seems to be a good ICS ROM available.
As far as i tried, i find ICSSGS (onecosmic) more stable than a stock one. It works faster, it doesnt freezes, battery life is good, and it's beautiful. And its AOSP.
I believe this is what you're looking for:

Android 4.0.4 (Port)
ics
I tried ICSSGS 4.1 & 4.2 and it was nice but a little lagging in my opinion. I am now on AOKP 2.0.2 beta 23 and loving it. It's not just the usual ICS but also with a "cusom rom" on top of it. You should try it.
Slim ICS 2.6
I've been using Slim ICS 2.6 for a couple of days now and everything is working great! It is a light and VERY fast ROM.
For me it has a couple of issues but nothing serious, the facebook contacts sync problem (solved it with HaxSync from the market) and the compass isn't working in Google Maps.
But despite these 2 issues I can honestly say I haven't been happier with my phone since I bought it.

Hi,
I've been using the Team ICSSGS' ICS 4.0.3 RC 4.2 since last few days.
I think this ROM is now as good as a stable ROM
The only issue that has been bugging me is connecting to a 802.1x secured wifi network
Otherwise, it has an awesome interface, everything works... and can be used as a day-to-day ROM now.
i tried almost all ics rom , and i believe the best stable ics rom are CodeNameAndroid 1.3.3 and 1.40 , no lag , no FC , just perfect , work all perfect
After trying CM9, i am running AOKP 2.02 for five days now and it's really a good rom. Only one crash of music apps. Batterylife is better than a stock rom. Lots of options. I love it.
I've been running CodeNameAndroid 1.40 for couple of days now and it works great.
However, it seems Dax might be changing project from that to something else, so I might try something else soon.
I'm a satisfied user of ICSSGS RC4.2 (stock kernel) and this rom i'd like to recommend to You. Of course, it has some issues (a few, really) - like any other ICS port - but it is 100% stable and i use it since it has appeared on xda for download. To be sure and to avoid more problems i suggest to stick with native kernel, which is very good by the way
Wow!! So many people using AOKP. really overwhelmed!! Thank you all.

No wi-fi related problems here (speaking about RC4.2) but there is always something to be fixed - mostly minor issues.. but sometimes annoying. For example, i've experienced once when receiving a call i couldn't use my lockscreen because it freezed for a few seconds - it happened just once and i missed a call then :/ But what can i say - we all have to remember that all of these ICS ports are just beta's or RCs so let's hope there will be fully working ICS rom with no issues at all soon 4.0.4 version has appeared after all so i believe it will fix some of our troubles too
AOKP !
I'm using AOKP too
Stable, fast, no FC (I'm using it for a week) and a good battery life.

Should I stay or update? Am I on the right version? :/

Okay first of all I freaking love this place it's brought an entire new life onto my captivate so here's whats going on..
I have cm9.0.0-RC0 installed with 4.0.3 but I just realized a few days ago that the alpha fourm I was on is extremely outdated and that everyone had moved onto the newer one. (yes I realize I look like an idiot at this point)
ANYWAYS...I went to find the latest stable build how ever it also says 9.0.0 so i'm sort of confused if that one is any different. I'm pretty sure I am on the alpha build 17 but like I said still confused...
(Side note: I don't want to use the nightly builds because I use this as my daily phone so I need something stable.)
So do I need to flash the other one or am I good where i'm at? Or should I just wait for CM10 and jelly bean??
Also I know this has been asked but can someone recommend a good kernal to use with this? I'm pretty sure the one I am using is old it's by pawitp.
Thank you for your patience and dealing with my stupidity :angel:
(very first n00b post btw)
Go ahead and do an update to the stable version. It is only a few days old, and is worth updating to, especially if you are still on an alpha (I can't imagine that really).
I recommend that you stick with the stock kernel unless you want to play around with things like overclocking. In that case, either Semaphore or Devil are great kernels.
Definitely update, I have been running cm9 nightly for the last 3 months with no issues. I'm on Helly bean now, but my gf is using cm9 stable.
Update now man. You have a choice of the CM9 stable release, plus like four really good Jelly Bean roms that are totally worth the flash. I'm on Paranoid Android right now and its the best Jelly Bean experience I've had on both Android devices that I own so I highly suggest it to you if you're stuck in deciding which JB rom, if you go that route of course.
alright thanks guys! :good:

Fastest setup for Milestone?

Hi guys,
I'm selling my iphone 4s and in the meantime going back to my milestone till I decide whether I want the iphone 5 or a newer android phone.
I put the latest cm10 release on my milestone but its quite laggy.(almost unbearable). what would you say is the best stable mod right now for milestone that has the least amount of issues and keeps good battery life/performance?
I prefer CM7.2.1 - or MIUI (basing on an older CM7 version)

yeah I remember cm7 running decent/good at times on it before. Just wanted to know what others have found worked for them. thanks ill give that a try.
CM7.2.1 or try to build 7.2.2 from sources

Little Question.

Hi friends.
I have my phone on stock ROM (4.0.3) rooted, CWM.
The thing is.. which rom that are available right now that you recommend me?
Thanks.:good:
Hi, I'd say CM 10.1 RC1. It's based on latest 4.2.2 Android with lots of tweaks etc. Good thing is also that you can apply many themes to make your phone nicer. I'm using it since first release and it's great! Much faster and better than stock and it's also updated very frequently.
