Here's my 2 cents...

ICS? Well, I'm still hoping for all basic functions to work, too. Actually, I'm not really hoping anymore... I just don't care any more.

There are too many good, stable, gingerbread Sense 1.0 (stock based) ROMs to list. Take your pick. I've never had any problems with any of these. But, I've not used any ROMs of this type in quite a while.

The only ROM that I (and many, many others) have ever had any problems with is the official "stable" CM7.x. Don't get me wrong, the official CM7 stable is just awesome, until the freezing, force closes, and bootloops take over and render the phone useless. It might take a day, a week, a month, or several months. It varies. But the problems are same: force closes, freezes, and bootloops. Just hope you don't need to use your phone when it happens... or be prepared to reinstall a ROM (and likely reinstall Clockwork Recovery) whenever or wherever it happens. Not especially convenient... If you've been around the XDA incredible forums for a while, you know how many CM7 bootloop threads and stability help requests there have been. If not, do yourself a favor and please believe me, the stability problem is very real.

But, there are plenty of other "unofficial" CM7.x builds available. The one I use is inc-deck-gingerbread-1.3-stable.:good: I also use the the 11/27 Incredikernel. :good: Now, this is a genuinely stable CM7 set-up that I will vouch for. I've read inc-deck-gingerbread described as a "debloated CM7". That pretty well describes it. It's a very lightweight, snappy, simple AOSP ROM (plus the awesome CM customizations and mods). I've been running it since since December 2011. No issues... ever. This is the best firmware set-up I have tried. And, I USED to try a lot of different ROMs and kernels.

I've done some other mods also: ext4all for better overall performance and V6 Supercharger for modding the memory management. V6 Supercharger is primarily for browsing with Opera Mobile (not Opera Mini, which is quick but has crappy page rendering). Opera Mobile is awesomely fantastic. I also run Go Launcher.

I recently had a stint over 900 hours without rebooting the phone. That is well over a Month (!!!) without ever rebooting, for any reason!!! Stable? Think about that. The only reason I ended up rebooting was I was moving and forgot to charge it, two days in row, and the battery died. I should probably reboot more often to keep my AdFree list more up to date... oh well.

I have totally quit flashing ROMs and kernels, since I started using this set-up. In fact, I hardly come on XDA anymore (not that I don't appreciate the devs here working for the Incredible still). Actually, since I've had this set-up, I hardly mess with my phone. Now, I just occasionally look for better apps! My games run smooth and snappy, great battery life, fast GPS lock. My phone simply works better than I could have imagined, back when it was brand new. I simply can't give enough praise for the all the people responsible for this software (which, of course, includes the CM folks).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
But its the features.. well technically if your sorta a nerd about these things then it means a lot to flash, yada yada yada.

I'm constantly flashing, recently not so much as ICS kinda has all the features I need (Sort of) I still love the HTC music player to death. But I've been staying with ICS and its gotten better battery life. If I flash a Cm7 or Miui rom I'm instantly disgusted, I've gotten spoiled by features and honestly I gain terrible battery life with those rooms. They can't even last and hour before they die, they use to last days.

I got a whole theory about Phone Sickness I'm not going to go into but I'm sure I'm just a crazy asshole lol.

Point is, its features.. don't you want to use them?

Google Now.. Awesome ICS features or at least Sense 3.5?

Really any sense will not reboot unless you've done something terrible to your phone.

Most roms are stable, some got halfway finished and abandoned which sucks.

Best dinc rom?

I am running Jelly Bean Alpha 5 right now with APEX launcher and V6 Supercharged. And it runs great. When Albinoman fixes the camera and video and HWA I think this rom will be the best out there. No 3G drops stable and running with no issues. I think battery life will be great too with some more tweaks. Try it out. :) :fingers-crossed:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
Are you really using that as a daily driver? Lol.. its way too slow to even use yet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feadolphus:
Actually it works fine for me. Not slow at all. I have been using it just fine with no issues. None with apps etc. Camera and video are down but other than that it is just as fast as any other rom....and no lag.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feadolphus:
And you laugh as if you know it all...have you tried it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
Been testing them.. lol its slow. It doesn't have HWA enabled nor Butter.

Its the reason its in Alpha Stages just like Pures and Evervolv's.

It will be DD material when HWA is enabled, yes your right there is no lag and this is due to the fact Jb's new juicy enhancements over ICS to make performance amazing. If you consider Jb dd material.. Dafuq lol.

Other than hwa being broken causing Gmail to be practically unusable, I had no issues. If you need the camera or camcorder than you're better off on ICS for now.

For me, best rom was CM7.1 or 7.2. ICS always had issues somewhere.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocj:
Definitely agree on CM7.1 and 7.2. Those both run pretty flawlessly.

That said, I currently run Linaro optimized CM9. It has a couple problems, the video camera doesn't work and bluetooth seems to have a bug, but otherwise, the interface is pretty slick and it's a reasonable tradeoff for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archabaddon:
The other day I tried Evervolv v3.0.0p3, not knowing it was a JB build. Was too slow to use as a daily driver, plus the camera didn't even work. I'll be keeping an eye on it though, and will try it out again when HWA, Butter, and the Camera are working.

In the meantime, I just loaded Abduction of the 4th Kind onto my DInc, and I'm initially impressed. I was previously using AOKP until they dropped official support for the DInc, so Abduction (built on AOKPBC) seems a natural fit. Very fast and smooth, and the only thing that isn't working on it is the camcorder - but that's true for almost every DInc ICS ROM.

I was curious to try the Linaro Optimized CM9, but it looks like it has to be compiled first. Is there a pre-built ROM ZIP I can download and try out sometime? Even so, if camera and BT don't work, it's a deal-breaker for me. I need daily driver build since my DInc is still my primary phone. I just wish I could find an ICS or JB ROM for my phone with working everything, including camcorder.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardax:
Right here

I can't speak to BT since I don't use it, but the Camera works fine. Camcorder is still broken though.

I use ICS Sense v1.3 which is really a GB rom with ICS themed Rosie so I get the stability of gb with all the ics features and video recording works fine without the need of a 3rd party app. The only downside I've found is the kernal, battery life isn't the greatest but you can't have everything right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kramer56:
I just put on the JB from Albinoman, i like it but laggy for me with swype, camera is working but only 3mp at the moment I came from miui ICS but really thinking of going back to GB rom so my phone works the way I want it to. video, browser, camera and all that always worked with miui gb also had the wireless tether/hotspot built into it. not sure what to do tho now. do you have screen shots of the ics sensev1.3
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheldonsteen:
For some reason I've been having all sorts of trouble with Albinoman's JB rom. Most everything works great except I can't make a phone call, it FC's every time. I also can't receive calls. I've tried everything I can think of. I'm just going to stick with MIUI ICS, even though it seems like development has all but ceased. Not a whole lot of great options for Inc users anymore.

EDIT: Redownloaded and reflashed and its working fine now. Fantastic work, Albinoman.

I third this x1,000 :D

It's the first ROM I've flashed on my Incredible and I am very, very happy with it thus far. I flashed Incredikernel with SmartAssv2 governor yesterday and it is even better.

The DINC was one of the best purchase decisions I've ever made and I am very grateful for the devs that keep my phone in the kickass department of technology.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoraptor:
What they all said about Albinoman's 4.1 build. It's a bit lighter on battery than CM9 seems to be even before modding it with addins.

Right now I'm rocking the Beta 3 with Nova launcher and swift keyboard and it's every bit as buttery, even on the old dinc, as Google promised at IO.

That said, it still has a few bugs (DUH he said beta) so obviously install at your own risk.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ck04:
I have to agree with everyone and go with Albinoman's JB beta 3 rom, it's my daily rom and I love everything about it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Yeah. Backs up faster, more features such as full touchscreen support and ability to queue up zips to flash make it awesome. The ability to compress backups is nice if you want to fit more backups on the device. I haven't had any issues since I started using 2.2.0 beta. I never really had cwm issues either but I prefer twrp.

i would say miui 2.3.2 or albinoman's 4.1.1. Jelly Bean RC1 rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778190)

Miui - great battery life. runs well when underclocked. easy theme customization.

Jelly Bean - google now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good battery life with incredikernel beta 2. (you will have to use an external camera app b/c the camera app is only 3mp. use camera ics from the play store. also, brightness and sound setting force close. download notification toggle app. with this app you can get widgets in the notification bar, such as brightness and sound.) This rom is really really good. i am using it as a daily driver. you can decrease the voltage through incredicontrol. i use -25 for the battery on both.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prius56mpg:

Albinoman's RC2 its way better, blazing fast. I have no issues with it as my daily
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FastEddie422:
Agreed. RC2 is faster and gives me less problems than any ICS rom that I ever had on my phone.

I am having a problem with the music apps not seeing my mp3 files on the SD card, though. I've looked for a misplaced .nomedia file and see nothing and the apps were seeing the files on RC1 just fine so I'm not sure what the problem is. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

Edit: for anyone else having the same problem, a solution was just posted in the Albinoman thread. I can't post links yet but search for SDRescan on the Play Store and you should find it.

There is a workaround for the native camera. Once it's up, swipe to a stored image, click on the share button, then try to share to a service (google's services in particular seem to work well) once you back into the camera it will be functioning normally until you switch modes or close it.

Albinoman's JB RC2 is great. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a Jelly Bean ROM. It's a little less stable than some of the more established Android versions (GB/ICS) but the issues are minor compared to what JB brings to the table.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugzz:
gotta say, i tried out a cm9 build, cant remember which casue i renamed the file to update.zip and have since overwritten it :p.

then i tried albinomans JB RC2.

i really enjoy the new stuff, but alot of builds seem to have issues playing videos, none of them have fully working cameras, and netflix has been a constant issue for me. I suppose this is "known info" for some ICS and JB peeps but since its so "well known" sometimes people just don't bother posting it, not even in the known bugs or OP. So ive had to find it out the hard way on occasion, but im a shoot first and ask questions later kinda guy heh. I think so far the RC2 has been my fav build, but i did have some stability issues and it locked up a few times on me.

Last Cm7 i had was from Feb and there were some camcorder / video and netflix issues then too, It was a Ponz build i belive, From what i understand the camera, vid playback and netflix issues have been fixed since then, found pons' lastest from 9/3 and gonna check that out tonight. I also saw that Albinoman released RC3 today but i see a few peeps posting some bugs so i'm going to hold off a bit and see how it fleshes out

I apologize up front for the dumb question, but if I'm running the included kernel that Albinoman included in his JB RC2 ROM, am I running the incredikernel from Tiny that everybody is recommending, or is there yet another incredikernel that I should flash on top of Albinoman's ROM?

Up until a couple of weeks ago I would have said MIUI. However, the newest version as of date was filled with problems. The only stable version was the Gingerbread but the problem is that it lacks so many features and stock apps that newer versions of MIUI have. I've been running Albinoman's Jellybean rom. My only gripe is about the camera. I hope that gets resolved.

I've ran all kinds of roms on my DInc, from MIUI, to CM7 to Bugless Beast to Abduction to AOKP to Albinoman's JB RC3 to now Pons's CM10 nightlies. Outside of the camera glitches, it is by far the best rom that has graced my phone, it's like it's been re-energized. I will say that I absolutely loved ParanoidAndroid RLS2, but I couldn't get past the fact that I could not take a phone call, the bottom of the screen was cutoff.

But Pons's CM10 nightlies is where its at, it's really smooth and buttery and no lag whatsoever, which I haven't found on any post-GB rom that I've put on. Definitely will be my daily driver until I retire the phone.

Many are good. My opinion from those tried:

GB Rom - Fastest most stable with all features working. CM 7.2, Pons Kang CM 7.2

ICS Rom - (pretty much skipped by Devs)

JB Rom - Best so far: Albinoman RC3, and Pons AOKP JB

The last are currently updated by the devs. Pons is on Goo.Im, Albinoman soon to be Goo.Im
