[Q] Need advice from those who has tested - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hey guys...
I need some advice. I´m gonna flash a new ROM on my Hero for the last time. My companion has served it´s purpose and I´m gonna hand it over to my son.
So now I want some advice from anyone who has tested the following:
1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767886
2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932377
I know the difference between them both... the question is with one is best for daily use. As I understand the 2.3.4 is fully functional...? I have tried the 2.2.1 before and quite happy with it... but since I´m gonna reflash it I want to make the right choise.
How about batterytime? Performance? Witch of the both is best?
Look forward to read the answers.

I'd say the Gingerbread one is better overall.
Battery life was good, performance was generally snappy and it was stable.

Flashed GB... holy c**p... smooth!

Tell me about it!

What's your current ROM?

Hey, I'm going to try flashing my MDA for the first time here in a couple days. I'm just curious what ROM everyone is using and where to get it. This isn't a "What's the best ROM?" thread, I'm just wanting some feedback and I think others could benefit from the feedback.
I love XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 on my wizard. It's been almost rock solid. (I don't think I've ever had anything run 100% rock solid on my wizard, including the stock roms, btw). This is really a great rom in my opinion! Thank You mfrazzz!!!

i'm running xda 6 release 5.. awesome rom. seems the most stable, and has apps I can use and doesn't have all the fancy touch/cube crap.
Jaguar.
And frankly, this is pretty much the same as the BEST ROM thread, because people will pretty much post what they have run for a long time and consider to be the best. If they are trying a new rom, they will more than likely post the pro's/con's in that rom's thread so the chef knows. For instance, I ran Jaguar 3.1 and now am running Jaguar 4.0. Any issues, I'd post in the Jaguar thread.
I have run Jaguar for several months and it is extremely stable, dependable and fast. So for me it is what I am running currently, and IMHO the best rom.
ive tried ALL the roms in this forum and right now, im running NBD 7.somethin
its by far d best rom ive used..been usin it for over 2 weeks now without ever needing to soft reset unless im installin somethin..
its also got touch, but i dont use it...deleted the shortcut so i dont get tempted..(eats up memory)
and is also really fast..
BLACKDIAMOND 3.1...it's great...

Finding the right Rom

hi there,
Does someone has an advice for me concerning a good rom?
Here are my most important wishes:
1. 100% stable
2. Good battery life
3. Sense (would be good but no must hav)
4. Gingerbread would be great but froyo works as well
My device: htc hd2 leo eu 512mb
It would be awesome if some of you could help me out. There are just too much roms out there. And I cannot Decide wich to chose.
Your experience would really help me out.
Thanks a lot

My choiсe is TyphooN CyanogenMod 7.
This ROM is really fast and stable.
Battery usage in quiescence is about 4 mA.
But no Sence... For me this isn't problem, becouse I use Spb Shell 3D.
its all about personal preference, some will recommend sense roms some wont
you will not find a gingerbread fully working rom with sense yet, it is still in the developement stages, it is normally best to test out a few different roms and go with your own choices, personally i cant stand none sense roms due to the keyboard
I recommend you to start trying any from the SD. I have started testing americanandroid and I'm very pleased, too stable.
i prefer this rom:

Im still using Darkstones froyosuper ram build that has been discontinued, so it really is each to there, own mate, people can only advise what they like, there isnt a best ROM, there all different, so get downloading lol.
try pongster build CWM7 2.3.4 gingerbread heady honey badger build search it here, follow the video, its easy some other builds are confusing and no support at all, he has also online support, i got tmobile, all mms works, fast and good battery life. good luck.

Best Android ROM on HD2

First of all sorry to all you DEVs and Users. But I think it's worthy to ask this. I have searched it but haven't found any thread with satisfactory answer. So I am posting here.
I know many of you wont find it good. But this is important. I am new with HD2 device. There are many of ROMs out here from last couple of years. People actually can't flash them all to test or surf almost 10K pages to know it.
so I request you all of you guys as per your personal experience which ROMs are good to use. It is not necessary to be stable but yes it should be worthy.
Please share you experience with ROMs.
If u looking for an good cm gingerbread SD build look no further the AmericanAndroid hasn't been updated in a while but it is a smooth daily build.
If u looking for a good nand build, I would go with IcecreamTosti v1.1 everything is fully working in the rom, an too me its the best daily driver ics build i tryed to date. . .

I've tried a few, but I always come back to HyperDroid. It's smooth and fast and has an excellent cast of developers that are helpful. It is a huge thread and can seems a little bit overwhelming at first, but I think it's well worth doing the research.
The other two mentioned above are solid builds as well. I have not tried AmericANDroid nor the Tosti series, but I haven't read anything nasty or bad about the two.
If your looking for a good Sense based ROM you can try the Energy series. A very solid build, but it is a resource hog.
READ every page prior to installing the rom. You'll be glad you did. You can find out alot about what you're looking for in this way.
Good luck and happy hunting!
And welcome to the HD2 family!
You will never get a satisfactory answer on a thread like this, because your question is subjective. I don't know how many times I've had to explain this
Having said that, my recommendation is NexusHD2 (see, you have 4 different answers in 3 replies).

Yel. I agree too. Hyperdroid is the fastest, smoothest and the most stable build ive tried. But it doesnt really matter. One rom maybe functioning well on one HD2 and it may be messed up on another. So i guess you really have to use the trial and error method

Me too
its seems it gonna hard to decide which one is good. Every user has their own prospective. But still I am finding it quite usefull. And i believe people who are new to this device they can also be the beneficiary. Thx guys.
I think ill flash few builds by our awesome devs and then start building it by own...
Throwing in another vote for NexusHD2. Consistently a fast and reliable daily build.
I can still see the worth of threads like this. I just so happened to be looking for the most reliable ICS rom now that we have HWA
I am not an expert, just a regular user. I have used AmericanAndroid, Hyperdroid and JaguarMIUI. I like JaguarMIUI, it's pretty stable and light. GPS lock down took only a few seconds. That is important to me as I travel a lot. Also battery life seems to last longer. I only have problem with Hotmail apps when using JaguarMIUI, as I won't be able to add contact, other than that, all is fine.
True we wont get a definitive answer here, but will at least sort the wheat from the chaff.
I use NexusHD2 HWA Build by tytung - have had no problems what so ever since it became HWA.
I used to run AmeriCan Android GB build, and tbh found it buggy and slow, but probably wasn't the latest build, cant remember now, has been months since I used it.
Hyperdroid seems to be a very solid build, especially for us fans of CyanogenMod.
As I am a fan of Tytung's work I would likely try NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a, if I for some reason-such as needing to save space due to bad blocks, etc; though it is AOSP as opposed to CM.
Im new to this android world but im a fan of the hyperdroid. Cosmetically, im a fan of the coredroid..
Question.. is there a way to get the visual upgrades like on coredroid, but have them integrated into the hyperdroid. ????
Because I´ve WPH too , im must yuse SD builds. My favorite is the Tostidroid. But the last builds had many random reboots so I used MIUI ICS for a while (3 days ). The Nexus HD is goot too, but i love Tostidroid has more options...
And i think the MIUI rom was the most smoth and stable ICS ROM. But the b40 of Tostidroid is now very stable too... Before i Installed WPH I had NexusHD rom @ NAND and it was not bad.
If you are looking for a ICS build Nexus HD and MIUI ICS are the best for daily use...
If you don´t want WPH install the Nexus too Nand that you have a 100% working system for daily use and test the other ROMs as SD builds...
well i would personally recommend miui roms. it is a pain in the ass to solve all the problems that come with it( for me it is the ultra low internal storage and bootloops, but the newer versions doesnt have a bootloop) and for the low storage i am trying to make a ext3 partition. but after that.. WOW! beautiful like no other(even ios not and no, i am no apple fanboy) smooth, perfect build-in apps, good at multitasking, fast... just perfect.
Since November '11 I'm testing a lot of roms, but there was never a Rom which is the best for me.
But then I found myMIUI from the User 'Aternus'. This ROM is my favourite one, its stable, fast and very smooth. The only bad thins is, that it isn't multilingual, but Aternus said, it will come with Jelly Bean
Test the Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932), I love it :fingers-crossed:
To me the best rum is Pixeldroid Last Edition RC9 Rom with AROMA INSTALLER/HTC Sensation XL
But unfortunately there are a large drain on the battery

I am sorry guys but this kind of thread never leads to any positive end. ALready said a million times, "best" is subjective and only is "best" for you.

Upgrade stock or going custom?

Hello Guys
It has just arrived the Iconia I ordered, this my first non chinesse tablet. And Id like to juicy it the most. BUt I have doubts and I hop eyou can help me.
THe device says it has an update, currently is running Android 3.01. SHould I go to the stock update? Or would be preferable to go with a custom rom.
I've been reading that stock rom makes the table a little unstable and that the Lightspeed ROM is one of the best by now, but Im not sure what to pick or if there's other ROM stable, so I ask before doing something I might regret later.
I will use the tablet as a regular guy plus I want to stream videos from my PC.
Thank you for reading this.
I got mine around January. Then ICS wasn't an option, but I remember it being somewhat sluggish. After the ICS update I was happy at the speed increase but it still came in a distant second to just using my laptop. About a week ago I finally installed a custom ROM (reflexxx). Since then I've barely turned on my laptop and the responsiveness continues to impress me. I can't imagine jelly bean or a tegra 3 being much faster. Granted, I really only browse the web, email, and a few news apps. Upgrading to a custom ROM was the best thing to happen to my a500. I can't speak for the lightspeed ROM, but if its anything like reflexxx, you will be much happier with it them stock.
is this th eone youare talking?

Dear Anthony, something I dont understand of your post is:
if you actually did first the stock update to ICS and then to reflex. Am I right?

yes and yes. Mostly because that was just the natural order of things, but, and dont quote me on this, I think it will be easiest for you to do the same. Honeycomb has different bootloaders and things. Upgrading to stock ICS first, I believe, will make going to a ICS ROM slightly easier and remove a step or two.
Provided you read the directions, I really can't see how you'd be upset with a custom ROM. I used afterOTA to unlock my bootloader, then installed the ROM using the standard CWM method.
THank you so much for your help sir Anthony
One more thing: Did you used the Reflex or FLEXREAPER-RELIX_rev5 ANDROID 4.0.3 ?

I went with reflexxx, only because its based on 4.0.4, and I'm of the stupid consumer mindset that newer us always better.

Run stock ics absolute ota no root. See how good it is. Then when you change roms you can see what it screwed up.

Looking for a stable ROM for my LG G2 D803

Hello everyone!
I need your help. I have a LG G2 D803 and I have the official Android 4.4.2. I am with bell and I won't have any official update anymore.
But I'm bored with this Android. I have some little bugs, the phone become hot easily, my GPS never works when I need it and the battery life is really bad. Since my warranty is over, I would like to try a custom ROM for my cell phone, but which one? There is a lot of choice and I can't decide which one is the best. If you'd guide me to the one who would fulfill my needs, that would be very nice from you.
I want something stable, not a nightly ROM.
Something that is fluid, not too heavy.
Something that has a good battery life. The best would be better than the stock ROM, but is it possible?
Something that is not too old / abandoned
Finally, not the most important, but if it could influence the choice, something new and fresh that would daze me, juste like if I was exploring a brand new phone lol.
Thank you in advance for your answers
