[Q] Incredible S JellyBean Roms Comparison - HTC Incredible S

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.

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.

Best ICS rom

Which is the best ics rom now available, which have 720p recording, fm radio etc
After trying a couple of them, I am sticking to custom GB ROM (MIUI Mintberry) as stability and "everything works" is more important for me. Every ICS ROM I tried needed some or the other compromise to be made.
But to answer your question, I personally felt one by team ICSSGS was good though they have pulled their latest beta 4 due to issues. You could try DrZmiui if you like the MIUI interface.
MIUI is a very good ICS rom, but Mobile tethering doesnt work.
Anyone else who have this problem?
I am on ICSSGS RC4 . It works like a charm, wifi and usb tethering also.
I am still watching on battery usage, but seems to be as a Ginger Rom

Using Teamhacksungs CM9. But this ROM comes without FM Radio. but the adjustments in that ROM are very good.
ICSSGS supports FM Radio, so maybe you have a look at this one...

They just pulled that ROM down, so must have had some serious errors ;-)
But in general i can also recommend the ICSSGS ROM's. I am still on 3.1 but have no issues

They pulled it because some people is having an issue of 3g preference over wifi. Not in my case.

Yep I have already seen. But, luckily, I still have not any trouble with this ROM.
Hope they continue to develop it
well, that question that you asks us is hard to answer because it's different for every user.
Well, I like MIUI a lot so i've recently start using DrZmiui's ROM and it works like a charm. But heard a lot of good news about mintberry, so if you really want to know you've got to compare them and maybe install them all just once to compare.

I tried it today on MB and it worked 2 times out of 5. Switch WIFI on and try and off and try again did it.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned cm9 yet. It works smoothly for me, but like all ICS roms, the lack of ram on the SGS causes minimised apps to occasionally close. That's pretty much the only weakness I see in the rom.

Well I already mentioned that Page 1. For me it works very well so far...
You can modifiy a lot in that rom. More settings will come soon...
Do you know its possible to change the icons in the status bar in ICSSGS rom?

No, ICSSGS is an AOSP meaning "as google intended"
Im on CM9 and its a stable ROM, but there is no fmradio So you can try TEAMICS
does it have the power widget and ad hoc wifi support?
Also, I had earlier tried OneCosmic's build, currently using teamhacksung. So far I like teamhacksung build 15 barring some minor issues. like headphone icon doesn't appear, mic doesn't work, gps icon doesn't appaer in status bar, but it is in power widget, so not major issue. And now I noticed youtube app not playing anything, though browser is able to play.

Are these roms will receive updates to 4.0.4 ? (for nexus it's already out)
I used CM9 build 15, still alot not working and alot of FC's.
Went back to CM7, think they need a little bit more time to get the rom stable.
I am using ICSSGS RC3.1 for past two weeks still now I haven't faced any issues. Its a smooth ICS ROM.
Badly waiting for RC4, which they have pulled due to some serious WIFI/Data issues.
ICSSGS it certainly is.
I fully agree with devav, Team ICSSGS' rom's the best around for now ), even if it's RC3.1 (I'm too waiting for RC4). There you can find working 720p HD video @ 30fps that REALLY works (no stutter), panorama photography, face unlock, fully working hardware acceleration, music player, e-mail, Holo UI with all its eyecandy etc. (~98% of all rom is working).
NOTICE: ICS is a quite new OS which is primarily optimized for modern dual- or even quad-core processors and ~1024Mb RAM. So you have to get yourself an appkiller / any other RAM emptier + auto cache cleaner because of the ICS' memory-hunger. ICS can be a bit laggy when using stock 100/1000 clocks.
I highly recommend an OC with undervolting (to save juice).
My settings are:
GOV: smartass v2
MAX: 1200MHz (UV)
MIN: 400MHz (UV), and my battery lasts for 7-8 hours of moderate usage and my phone being able to run team ICSSGS' rom pretty flawlessly.

[Q] What's your favourite ICS for Nexus One?

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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*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

Best, Fastest Rom out there at the moment?

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.

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

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.

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

Niks Jellybean Evolution vs Codename jellybean, go!

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

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.

[Q] Most stable ASOP/AOKP ROM for IncS

Was wondering what do you guys think is the most stable Jellybean ASOP / AOKP ROM out there. Would be interested to know the most stable ICS ASOP/AOKP ROM too.
I currently have Lacoste running which I find pretty ok. Would love to know what the general opinion is in the community regarding ASOP/AOKP ICS and Jellybean ROMS
Thanks y'all

The CM10(.1) made by dla5244 are probably the most stable jellybean ROMs out there. Szeszo's CyanVivoX (CM10) is also very stable. (no real significant difference between Szeszo's and dla5244's version of CM10).
There wasnt really much development with ICS AOSP/AOKP as far as Im concerned. Szeszo was working on a CM9 but I don't know if he gave up on it or not :/ For AOKP, theres Ice Cold Jelly v8.3 and thats about it.
Note: Id stay AWAY from PACman. Although it has great battery life, there are still a number of quirks that still need to be ironed out (bugs).
I recently tested an unofficial CM9 by Szezso. You can find it on his google plus profile. The ROM was pretty smooth and with a respectful battery life. Sadly I had a problem with what is supposed to be the main feature of a mobile device...Calling. Or perhaps I'm simply too old fashioned and the issue is not that big
I was not able to hear my phone ring and dealing another number either... By the way I was the only one on the G+ thread regarding the ROM to report this issue. I would raccomand you to try CM10.1 by dla or szeso and then, if you are unhappy with the battery life, the abovementioned unofficial CM9 or Ice cold sandwich, for which you can find a good set of themes in the proper section of the forum.

Stay on lacoste or try cyanvivo x by szeszo

I dont find many bugs at all. I mean the screen wakes up for me when i get a call which is nice. I think for me, its just the camera. Its good enough to be a stable driver. Plus its battery is pretty good. I could squeeze in much more Pokemon Flora Sky
I've been staying with Lacoste Mod for several weeks, and the performance was slowly going down all the time. It didn't happen at once, there wasn't any particular day when the performance dropped drastically, but the fact is that it kept becoming worse and worse through time. Yesterday I flashed back to stable AR HD, because I needed less battery greedy ROM to take abroad, and I was astonished with how incredibly fast my incredible s became!
Has anyone noticed such a regression on the other JB AOKP/AOSP ROMs? Do they all start lagging in a few days after being flashed?
I was on viper vivo and then on incredible and found them to consistently lose speed. So much so that they became pretty much unusable. I then switched to lacoste.. And then switched to cyan x because of bluetooth issues. Loving the snappiness of cyan x. And its been pretty stable.
I thought aosp/akop roms would be far more responsive coz they don't have the bloatware of sense and that indeed has been my experience
anyone using CyanVivo X previously and migrated to CyanVivo 10.1?
is the flashing method hard?
and how is the performance?

The flashing method? Are you joking me?? its the same on every ROM -_-
And regarding performance, if youve ever tried PACman then in reltivity to that, CyanVivo 10.1 is more stable and in my opinion, has better battery life. If you are comparing it to dla5244's CM10.1, then its more just updated of that (repo synced at later date)

Hi
can you list down the bugs you noticed for PACman.. I have been using it for about a month now and have not noticed much from user's perspective.. except that is has developed a slight lag but guess that is happening with a couple of ROMs
I've also experienced gradual performance decay on some of these popular ROM's, with the most recent being Lacoste.
I asked about the performance issues in the Lacoste thread and nobody seems to be answering. Glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing this!
Do you recommend cyanx then as the most stable and updated ROM (Android version) in terms of performance?

I would recommend dla's CM10 simply cuz u dont needa wait 3 or so seconds to unlock your phone :/ Szeszo says its fixed but I dont see it so :/ the things that CVX trumps is battery life, stability, and dem mods man.. they kick @** XD

yes because you start loading apps on your phone and that'll wear it down slowly.
