[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Daswolven:
Trying to find a ROM to flash on my wife's inc2, with a 2.3.4 base that has video chat working in Google Talk. Have tried one or two so fast with no luck, and i'm too short on time to research or test much.

Can anyone point me at a solution?

Thanks in advance. :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Daswolven:
Anyone? Won't bump again, just not looking forward to flashing multiple roms until I find one that works...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Flash any Rom and download the talk 1.3 installer from market.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
I tried to get talk 1.3 running on the stock rom (2.3.3) but could never get it to work. MIUI has it stock, though, and it works perfectly. It's actually the reason I switched to MIUI.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hatyrei:
Ok., so Many New ROM's... which make's newbies get confused which is the best.

Best in term's of:

1.stability

2.design

3.compatibility

4.usability

5.user experience

6.support for new updates

7.user friendly

8.no bug's

9.Global mode

10.Battery life.

guy's pls. share your thoughts.... so I/YOU can decide. which is which :)

Thanks.

If you want sense try This one. It is by far my favorite sense rom as of right now. If you don't want sense OMFGB is the most stable, and fast non-sense rom I have used.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Ok, I'll bite :)

Best in term's of:

1.stability - Currently running Miui 1.8.19 Very stable. Unity also very stable for me.

2.design - Depends on if you want a Sense based rom or AOSP Rom... Unity for Sense was great. I love Miui for the customization's.

3.compatibility - So far I have been able to use any of the usual apps that I would run with the stock non rooted rom.

4.usability - Miui has been a very usable daily driver for me. MMS works, calls have no issues. Wifi works... Don't use BT so can't say on that.

5.user experience - very good

6.support for new updates - Haven't need to use this yet. But from what I have seen, the support on most of the roms we have available is good.

7.user friendly - I would say that the Sense based roms may be more user friendly to someone that has been using Sense based roms. Miui is pretty simple to get the hang of as well as the other AOSP (Cyanogen and others).

8.no bug's - only bug I have found in Miui, is the soft touch keys don't rotate when going to landscape mode. No biggie as I didn't expect them to.

9.Global mode - Haven't used this yet.

10.Battery life - Battery life has been great with both Unity and Miui. This could be due to the fact of the custom Kernals and being UV'd. Both have easily lasted all day under heavy use. I plug into the charger at night before going to bed, and generally have 40% battery left.

Hope this may help someone out :cool:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hatyrei:
thanks :) ...I need more ideas so i can compare :P ,. keep it coming :)

I'm running CM7 Nightlies #48

1.stability - extremely stable so far. The only FC I get is when I first boot up ADW EX FC's, but I think it's because I'm impatient

2.design - I love the look of vanilla android. If you don't, or think it's boring, you won't like it. There are boat load of themes, though. And the great thing is all CM7 themes are compatible, regardless of which phone

3.compatibility - I haven't ran into any apps that I can't run

4.usability - very usable. Don't really know how to answer this

5.user experience - excellent, with all the customizable options

6.support for new updates - nightlies, lol

7.user friendly - I would say it is user friendly for anyone who is on XDA. Maybe not your average user, though

8.no bug's - none that I've ran into. Some complain about low volume in calls, but I don't experience that

9.Global mode - haven't tested

10.Battery life - excellent. I can easily get through a day

Edit: I should add that I haven't had a stock rom in god knows how long. So I am very used to little quirks here and there and don't even notice them anymore. Others may

As for omfgb the phone was broken when I tried it. Omgb was pretty much flawless. As of now I'm running the gingersense rooted stock with great results.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
I ran OMFGB for a while, it performed well. I really like it because it is slimmed down AOSP but still has some nice features. Didn't seem to have much bugs, but nightlies can always produce bugs for people. OMGB 1.2 is the stable version of it.

Running Miui now because I wanted something different. Its performing well but it doesnt seem as quick OCd at 1.3 as OMFGB was OCd at 1.3 for me. The theme manager and customization in Miui though are awesome. Battery seems good so far.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
Only bug I have ran into is that it wont install certain skins. Not really a big deal but could be a breaker for some people. I tried honeybread, glasssense, and one other cant remember and none of them worked. Carbon fiber one does though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I VERY highly suggest ANY ROM posted by "newtoroot" he has four great and different ROMs. They each have a few bugs, it just depends on your taste as to if the things bother you. Some people can use it as a daily others can't.

ihftp69, release a preview ROM of his SkyRaider Zeus, and is, afaik completely bug free 2.1 Sense ROM experience with sense 3.0 components.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheMavic:
MIUI has been my daily driver for about 2 weeks now. Everything works (MMS, BT, Wifi, etc) and the themes are awesome. Very consistent with updates and has a great dev team. Haven't seen any FCs from the system apps. Also, battery life is great.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
Can I run launcher Puerto from miui?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fusion.Coil:
Have to echo this remark. Going on a week with MIUI and have had no issues outside of it resetting yesterday while playing around with the music player it came with. Battery is on par with stock, but having a pretty UI means I play with the phone a lot more :) .

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
I really like the OMFGB roms, very stable, everything works and its fast. I also like the MIUI rom. I really love that fact that I can use the torch from the home lock screen by pressing the home key! MIUI also has a great dev community as well. It's really a personal preference, but as far as performance, I like those two the best.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
Here is another vote for MIUI. Great stable ROM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ben805:
If you want some sense 3.0 features, the SkyRaider Zeus beat them all in stability and functionality, haven't found any bugs yet. Virtuous Unity came in close 2nd if you can live with the compass being backward, it lag a bit during first startup, overall it doesn't feel as smooth as Zeus even at 1.3Ghz. Gingerbang 1.5 is my number 1 choice if I want something close to stock, very snappy even at stock speed and it gave me the best battery life even after i overclocked to 1.2Ghz.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rtdakota39:
I switch between GingerSense and MIUI with great results from both. Exchange nuances keep me coming back to Sense-based ROMs, but MIUI in terms of customization taunts me constantly.

Stability has been great on both as well as compatibility.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Stam2000:
I second Skyraider Zeus. Stability and battery life are great and its only a preview of what's to come.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
SkyRaider Zeus. Hands down the best hybrid ROM. I absolutely love it. Has the screen on/off affects, overscroll affect, working 3.0 MMS with no weird issues, global mode works. Everything we've been wanting, but without the lingering bugs. The notification bar is a dark transparent, but what makes it great is that notifications are the stock white when you get it. No issues with black text and there's many more quick setting features.

I swapped out the boot animations with some stock ones because I like the 'stock' look.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Joey563:
Virtuous Unity, for me, is by far the best rom i have used since I use to run CM6 on my OG droid (a while back.) Very stable, no bugs (Compass works for me), and it runs smooth and zero problems. great rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prenedo:
MIUI has been my daily since root was achieved for GB. I have not ran into too many issues (my issues were kernel related, my phone doesn't like Tiamat), and it's a really slick UI, great battery and just a great ROM overall... This is my first HTC, so I never really got a chance to experience Sense for too long and will be trying out Skyraider (just d/l yesterday, haven't flashed it yet); as I hear nothing negative at all about that ROM. At any rate, if you've never used MIUI, I would recommend giving it a try for a few days; it's a completely different experience as far as UI goes, some like it, some don't. If you have issues with in-call volume, try the Tiamat kernel. It get's great reviews, but my phone can't handle the UV.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
Newt's pyramid ROM has come along very nicely. Full sense 3.0 with little to no bugs now. Combined with Chad's beta kernel it's a fantastic daily to use.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nismopc:
MIUI PIUI! Did not have a good experience with that one at all.

Magnolia's was nice, but missing that something special.

Decided on SkyRaider's rom with JCase's OC Kernel (for now), and several of SkyRaider's available mod's. Been running that for last 2 days and so far, the experience is awesome!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rfarrah:
Ran MIUI for months: 95% perfect. Now running Magnolia - 98% perfect.

YMMV, of course. :cool:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] paulsg63:
So... I used Virtuous Unity for a long time. Itis an excellent ROM.. fast and clean..

The only issue I had was that it didn't allow Global network.

So I then loaded and have been running SkyRaider Zeus. Also, an excellent ROM.. But this one has Global network support!! WOOT. have a trip to Italy and England soon.. GtoG.

Also, Skyraider is so clean and fast.. and the battery life is insane! AWESOME!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ph1nn:
Wow I would have figured 95% of people on here would be saying CM 7.1 nightlies or MIUI. A lot of Virtuous and Skyraider now...

I'm going to do a custom ROM soon but there are some stock things I don't wanna lose (stable, bug free, good battery life and performance, rotating buttons, SRS audio). I figured once CM7.1 stable hit I'd do it, but this other stuff now sounds interesting.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
Have been using Newts Pyramid 1.4 for a few days now. It still seems to have a bug with bluetooth (should be fixed soon), but otherwise it's a daily driver if you like Sense. Waiting on Newts new Sense 3.5, which should be awesome once the bugs are worked out!

Edit: I meant Newts new Desire S 3D Rom....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jalin725:
I have been using Newts Pyramid 1.4 and so far it has been the best ROM I've used since coming to the inc2. Very stable and have to agree with the only known issue was with bluetooth. Hopefully will be worked out shortly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] beenz:
Just an fyi, CM7 will more than likely never have rotating buttons, if that is a necessity. It is built into the Sense framework
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fusion.Coil:
This is one of those cool little things that is a classy touch to the phone. I am kinda sad this is tied to the Sense frame because I prefer AOSP. However... that is just a preference.

Right now I am running Skyraider and am pleasantly surprised with it. Sense seems to work better with the INC 2 for the little things, like the compass pointer and the rotating home keys. As for Skyraider's ROM, it is pretty polished. Only had 2 reboots while fussing around with the alarm/clock functions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
guys I gotta	just say I switched to the dinc2 from a thunderbolt and I hope u guys don't complain about ROM stability cuz the buggiest dinc2 ROM is probably still more useable than any bolt ROM. not the Devs fault they should be proud of what they've done with all the more they have to work with HTC still haven't released gb for it which of course means no source. anyway throw another vote in for miui
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
I've tried all but skyradier. I'm concerned about having enough free ram with all the goodies sense brings.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
With the way android works you will be fine. Won't even notice it. This phone has more than enough RAM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
i've had sense 3.0 restart on me a lot due to lack of ram on my inspire. i've only been running aosp on my dinc2 since i've had it though. but yeah u should be fine. u could always run the v6 super charger script to manage your ram if its a big concern
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] paulsg63:
So in the last couple of days I have been back and forth between Newts Pyramid and Skyraider.

Wow! Can't decide.. I like them both.. A LOT!!

So the thing I really like about Skyraider is it has the Global network support..

And what I really like about Newt's is the Sense 3.0 with the menus that go all the way around.

Anyone else notice any other real differences between the two?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
I've been running SkyRaider Zeus for about 24 hours and I love it! I haven't had any crashes yet. I really like the Sense 3.0 features.

One annoying thing (and it might not be limited to just SkyRaider Zeus), when I logged back into the Market Place with my previous UN/PW it didn't show my previously downloaded apps anywhere. So I've had to find them and install them one-by-one. Has anyone else had this happen?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] paulsg63:
I noticed that most of the market apps will just show purchased apps... any of the free apps don't show up in "myapps"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] paulsg63:
I still like it.. but one weird things with the pyramid ROM is that when a call comes in with the screen locked, and it is answered with the dragging the phone in the ring.. I hear the caller , but they can't hear me.

Bug?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaynole:
I'm running Newts new Incredible 2 3D. Switched from his Incredible Sensation. Love the new ROM. Its GB 2.3.5 with full Sence 3.0. Has Chads OC kernel. Smooth as silk. Its still very new so you could run into a bug. Camera didn't work. He posted a patch damn near immediately. Fantastic support. Give it try. It's how Sence 3.0 should look on the Dinc2.

Still early in testing but I have found that over the last 24 hours (first time since flashing SkyRaider Zeus that I have had a chance) my 3G speeds have been much lower than on stock 2.3.3.

On stock I was getting between 1-2Mb/s and during the last three tests (10pm yesterday, 6:45pm and 7pm today) I am averaging 500Kb/s.

I had updated to 2.3.3 before rooting so I should have the most up-to-date radio. Has anyone else noticed such a drastic drop in 3G speeds? Like I said, I have only done limited testing so I'm not pointing fingers yet, but I thought I would just see if this is average for others or not.

I thought I would report on my battery experience with SkyRaider Zeus.

With stock Verizon 2.3 I was getting about 24-30 hours between charges.

With SkyRaider Zeus I'm getting 68-72 hours!

I do mostly data (SMS, email, web browsing, app install/update, etc) and not much talking, but I would consider my use as "moderate".
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
This probably falls more in the "light-to-moderate use" category, but I also unplugged it at 91% instead of 100%.

Still 68+ hours is WAY better than stock.

[Thunderbolt General] rcstilgar:
I just saw TB at Fry for $39 only 8gb card but still. I paid $229 for mine. That lead me to think Why did I pay so much when I knew the inevitable would happen with in in 6 months. Was it the privilege of own the first Verizon 4G/LTE phone, the speed that 4G produces (at least if you are in a 4G area), the rumor that it would be upgraded to GB, or the 32gb card that came with for all the tunes and movies?

Nope. Mine reason was this. I am a network admin for a healthcare enterprise. In being such my view was "there is NOTHING better for security of emails straight out of the box then BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server)." But my wife needed a new phone and we got her DroidX. I liked it! So I figured I would get one to "Test" at work. Brought in an iCrap 4, a DroidX2 and the TB. The TB beat them both for speed, robust hardware and stock UI (BTW all you fanboys - at what point do you question the fact that you must enter a credit card number before the device will even work?).

Did it measure up to BB for security of emails. NOT chance! But it is so much more fun to use for everything else that I cobbled together a one-off VPN certificate for it and am using it now as work phone.

That's my reason what's yours?
[Thunderbolt General] animez:
My reason is that I was due for an upgrade and I was sick of my Eris. With a discount through the company I work for I paid a little less than $200 and have not regretted it a bit. Things drop in price over time as new things come out. Has happened for a long time and will continue to happen. If you're always waiting for the next cutting edge thing or best price you'll always be waiting.

Hmmm.. Personally I had a Droid X and I thought you'd need to have a 4G plan to get grandfathered into unlimited 4G, so I took the plunge with the TB. Turns out, that wasnt the case. Unlimited 3G would have grandfathered me in..

Everyday my TB battery is dead after 8 hours, I am so angry at myself. I could have kept my Droid X and saved my upgrade for the Bionic. Instead I ended up blowing 250 on the TB and now Ill end up having to buy a Bionic off contract :(
