What ROM do you use and why? - Motorola Atrix HD

What ROM do you have installed for daily use and why? I use CM11 because I like the ability to update to the nightly version using CMupdater and it is stable and customizable enough for me.

Holoblur because its stable and fast.

How is the battery life? I would like to have longer battery life but for now I just underclock the processor when I don't need it.

What is badass about it? What is your opinion of Tesla (based on validus I think)?

Carbon. IMO, best ROM so far.

What are your favorite features? How is the battery life?

In my opinion..
Okey, so I forgot about flashing other roms when i installed vanir, battery life is awesome, deep sleep all the way when you dont use it, maybe because of the kernel, latest nyghtly was a little bit anoying because it kept rebootin and freezing but meeh...understandable if your are using kitkat on a phone thats not ment to have kitkat..
Other good rom is Paranoid android,...pure stock android, fast and stable, but battery life sucks..
In my opinion for Battery vanir works well for me, and stability is paranoid, i havent tried latest cm snapshot, i am about to.

have tried most of the roms... for some reason vanir and tesla doesn't give me good battery backup (doesn't last for a day).. have been using pacman nightlies now and it has given me good battery life(lasts more than a day with wifi, some reading and calls).. do you guys use any app or change settings in vanir to get good battery life?

Surprised not to see many CM11 people here. I use that since I assumed it'd be the most stable, but I haven't really tried anything else.

I use CM11 M12. I figure since all the roms are CM based anyways and I don't really care for the themes and customizations they add, might as well go to the stable source and add my own mods as I please.

I am on the latest nightly and my phone shut off today and wouldn't stay on until I plugged it in to charge despite it reporting %50 battery left. I think my phone may be having an issue with reporting proper battery level but I don't know if it is CM11 related. Cyanogen are the only ROMs I have ever used on my phones, but now I am thinking about flashing Pacman to see if it has the same problem with my battery.

I use stock mexican 4.1.2 far the best and most stable rom. I love all the features from 4.4.x roms but all they make the phone sluggish.
And if Motorola betrays us again (not releasing 4.4 or 5) that would be the last motorola roms that I would ever use again.

Why people keep saying Moto? It will be most like ATT betrayal instead as moto already gave them the finished update. Blame ATT not Moto.

Releasing 5.0/5.0.1 will not happen for us in the form of official update from Moto. We all already know that.

I use any ROM that has pie controls in it. Lately it's Validus. For this phone, pie controls is my favorite and required feature. The navigation bar takes up too much screen real estate, and making the buttons smaller makes then harder to press! Pie all day er day.

About to get this phone, 100% working JB rom?

I'm thinking about getting this ROM. It's kind of overwhelming considering there seem to be SOO many JB Roms. But are there any that work 100%? They don't outright say in the OPs what works/doesn't work.
100% of what? jb is still evolving, as there is now a second edition/version of jellybean.
my oinion: If you want a good reliable jb rom, then try cm10.0 stable. it is android 4.1.2 and totally good for day to day use.
If you want the later, jb 4.2.1, you can try cm10.1 monthly or nightly build. it is mostly stable.
Well, the AOSP one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013285) is considered the purest JB, but I don't think you'll get any dev to claim that his or her ROM is 100% working. It's intrinsic to the development of ROMs. Developer creates a ROM, tests it as best he can, posts it, users find issues, developer(s) fix issues, test again, post again etc. etc. It is really advisable to read around in the respective threads to see which issues have been found and delt with. I think that all current JB ROMs will cover basic functionality an average user would want, together with a zillion tweaks to stretch the hardware to the limit, be it good battery life, 3d gaming and other features devs and users come up with.
so I say: read around and try some of the different flavours, stick with the one that you prefer..
Works great.

It is as Perfect as stable, Get CM10.1 Nightly 20130208 with gapps 121212, And really Its awesome..
So far Sephi's ROM is the one I keep going back to. I was on Aosp by Ace of spades but that project is no longer being updated. It still runs really well but I'm a flasher.

I have used CM7, CM9 and CM10 on the captivate and all worked well, but recently switched to SlimBean 4.2.1 and it is much smoother. With CM10 my battery drained quicker and the phone was often warm when used for a long period(playing games, etc), but I don't have this problem with Slim

[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.

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?

Daily Use Rom without any extras

Hey guys, i know many of those threads came here in the past time but i have a question.
I want to give my i9000 to my mother. I need a stable rom which doesnt need to update daily or weekly. I know from many roms that they run VERY fluid in the first few days but barely a week later they begin to lag, stuck, etc.
My mother wants to make calls, maybe whatsapp, facebook, etc.
In addition to that my little brother will pick the phone up and want to play some games likes jetpack joyride or something.
The Rom mustnt be 4.2.2 because i know that many 4.2.2 roms are getting laggy after some time of usage. even slim bean which i used a lot and love it.
anyone any suggestions?
thank you!
why don't u use the stock 2.3.6 rom ? it's ok..plenty of features, god battery life and enough new apps that can run on it. At least you know it's stable and bug-free. After using slimbeam for a few months i went back to stock...it's better for me because i want a stable rom, fast, vith little customization. Slim it's ok but i had some bug's and if u are on a trip or u need to use the gps to go somewhere u don't whant to get force close or other things.

Agreed, stock, or a debloated/optimised stock is the best option. I tend to go back to stock because its rock stable, without losing on too many things.
Especially considering GPS and battery life, stock does incredibly well.

okay thanks guys so the majority sticks for gingerbread. i'll stick to the stock rom since my mother never had a smartphone till now and will be surprised positively anyway
@bialabs. CM10.1 is nice but i think the batterylife is very poor on every cm rom since the gingerbread roms. i dont know why but on the i9000 it uses a lot of battery for some reason.
maybe we can leave this thread open for some other user experiences for people who want to live without bunch of extras and customizations
Great question OP. Just giving my mother an old SGS from a friend which runs CM nightlies. Wanted to find a simple, stable rom for her, as she doesnt have a smartphone. Came on xda to find one. Thanks for the replies.
Try Sexynogenmod 2.5 It's rock stable(don't bother with any changes to governor or OC) battery life ,in my case, is similar to stock, gps working fine and very smooth. It's odd that it's based on cyanogenmod 10, maan it's so much different(better). I personally recommend it, and i flash ROMs since 2010

My experience
I am using Supernexus 2 M1. It is almost Stock for Samsung Galaxy S I9000. It working really good. Stable, good speed, etc...
Slimbean 6 i use and no big problem.
All great suggestions. But i finally decided on a gingerbread, because i believe it is more intuitive for a beginner. Stock was a bit laggy, so now i use Saurom ROM 2.3.6 (JWB) with Menu addon pack + Semphore 2.7.4 kernel. Everything is great and have no issues so far.
I use JB 4.2.2 - CM10.1 + Sempahore, all working great..
Nice stable ROM... try it

[Discussion] Android 4.4 - will we get a stable? (show your opinion)

Hi everyone,
I must say that android 4.4 sounds like a great improvement for us as our device is getting older \=
However, I'm afraid that we may not get a stable rom running this version. I mean' we might get some rom that some how runs it, but still as many roms to our device thease days - they are not stable at all.
So what do you think? will we get it or not?

Lol why not @szezso is working on it. We are moving away from CM and going towards something closer to AOSP because of the changes in cm. Fyi.

I'm sorry but I don't think szesco's roms are stable enough. I do appreciate his and contribution of course but since he doesn't have much time and also has many projects simultaneously, it results with poor stability and discontinued projects.
I'm using lacost rom and that one also is very poor like many other. It seems like it's better to use Android 2.3 based roms.

Cuz the way I define stable is good enough to be a daily driver with the RARE random rebooting.

What rom do you use? I think I would define such a rom as stable too.
With lacost rom I'm experiancing every day (and sometimes more the once) situations were an app stops to respond or something and the whole phone get stuck, nothing responses. sometimes I have to wait, sometimes I have no other option but to remove the battery.

You can't compare ROM stability to app stability. I've seen lots of cases where apps just stop responding and that really doesn't have much to do with the ROM being unstable.
With the phone getting stuck from time to time, I experience no such problem or VERY RARELY on each AOSP ROM here. Sometimes, you may lose responsiveness but you can just lock your screen and then unlock it and that will fix it.
4.4 for HTC S2 will be dream coming true especially for phone with low memory.
JB from sezscoz is stable.. But i do find a lag in scrolling or navigating to diff app or setting etc..
Well, 4.4 is basically 4.3 with a couple of changes, and it was also designed to run on 512mb of ram, so if we got 4.3, i dont see a limitation on 4.4
Press "thanks" if I helped you out!

It would be quite different taking into account its 'More' Pure AOSP rather than CM. It does look a bit different and apparently far 'lighter'.

Oh of course, I know. It isn't a specific app, sometimes it's the chrome sometimes whatsapp or Trebuchet launcher sometimes I don't even know what app causes it.

On Sense roms my phone is working about 3-4 days!
And CM roms kill my IncS battery for 1-2 days

[Q] ROM recommendations PLZ?

I have an Atrix HD, rooted, with unlocked JB bootloader, and I've also done the MAXX battery MOD. I haven't had this phone long and it seems to be a bit laggy, and a battery hog on the stock firmware. I am not partial to JB or KK so I am pretty open to suggestions. All I am looking for is SPEED, STABILITY, and BATTERY LIFE, and of course the LEAST amount of bugs possible. TY all in advance! :good:
ROM recommendation posts are a dime a dozen around here, and the answer is always the same: figure it out for yourself by browsing the development forums for your phone, and flash the one that fits what you want.

No, not everything is buggy as hell. The majority of them run just fine and are good enough for daily drivers. If you installed one, you'd see for yourself.
I understand that you want a perfect ROM but there isn't one. You've gotta take what minimal bad there is with the good. Even stock ROMs have bugs.
The best advice is to flash a ROM that sounds good and see if you like it. Hell, that's half the fun!

I understand what you are saying, and I have been checking them out, I'm on CM11 now, and have tried Holoblur, and a couple others. I've went through this with literally 13 devices now so I'm not new to this. I was simply asking the community for the best ones that they have used from their experience. I have asked this question on XDA about all of my other devices and normally people respond with just what I said before. Its just a lot easier when I can narrow it down between a handful of ROMs that are DD material.
What has been your favorite so far Doc?
Ah yes! Had to make sure you weren't just asking for the best instead of researching for yourself! I guess I could've been a little more helpful from the beginning...
My most important feature is pie controls, second is tied with customizing options and battery, So right now, carbonROM is perfect for me. I'm running the 8/04 jbbl build and it works great.
I have the MAXX battery mod so battery isn't as important, but I still want it to last all day.
Team Gummy works well too. The only build for our jbbl phone that works is the April build 2.0. It's light and battery life is good too. Also has pie, not as many customizable options.
Those are my KitKat choices, I'm not sure of the 4.3 Roms other than the last time I had a 4.3 PAC ROM installed it worked really well with excellent battery life. 4.3 Roms are arguably the most refined, but development has shifted towards KitKat obv.
That's pretty much all I know.
Awesome!

Ah yes! Had to make sure you weren't just asking for the best instead of researching for yourself! I guess I could've been a little more helpful from the beginning...

That my friend is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for the input... I will definitely try your recommendations next. I also did the MAXX MOD on mine the other day with the EB40 battery and cutting of the inner frame, but just like you I definitely want it to be able to last all day. Lol, I know there is no perfect ROM, I just didn't wanna be crack flashing for the next couple months with as many nice sounding ROMs there are for this phone. Either way, your info is extremely appreciated, and thanks for the heads up on Gummy. I typically look at a ROM's OP first to look at the features then look through the last couple pages to see if and what issues it may have. It just got frustrating bc MOST posts end with people all talking about their damn RAZR's in the wrong forum lol. So thank you very much Doc.

4.3.1 unified build from 1 Feb 14 works well and has decent battery life with the battery mod, best battery life i have seen so far was on ATT's stock pre-heartbleed fix revision.
Thank you very much as well palm beach. I'm on Gummy 2.0 now (the one that works) that the doc suggested and I love it aside from some random systemui force closes so I think I will try your suggestion next lol.
