I need a ROM that just works, everything works, without any "gotchas" or having to do anything extraordinary.. just works. That's why I stick with tweaked stock ROMs for now. My MT4GS is my only phone, I don't have a landline or another phone as a spare.

The ICS update is not really much of an issue... Get yourself a virtuous inquisition 4.0.3, I am running it right now since I got the doubleshot over eBay a month ago. Everything is working quite good and stable. Tbalden is stil working on it, he released kernel 3 a week ago, so the doubleshot is running up to 1.7ghz in case of need... don't whine, just get s-off, root and you'll get one of the most versatile qwerty smartphones out there...

Edit: you can check out Rootzwiki for more info...
Here is the download link to vinq kernel 3 v2: http://virtuous.prp2.com/doubleshot/...kernel3_v2.zip

To be honest, CM9 currently runs a litle better than Virtuous Inquisition. Less force crashes, a slightly more polished experience, and the battery life is a little better. However, Virtuous runs Nova by default and also has the MIUI style battery bar by default.

Recommendation: try both. A few less FC's and more polish vs. a few more shiny things and a little less stability.

Believe me I'm in the same boat and cm9 is working amazingly for me as a daily driver, everything that I need works though bluetooth is slightly buggy sometimes (though that may be my fault as I jumped right in after flashing and MAY have accidentally restored my stock 2.3.4 pairings. Trust me I deliver for a living so this phone is my lifeline and the devs have and will continue to keep it a stable lifeline at worst and a superior lifeline at best! Thanks for some great work and if I can ever help... drop a line. If any of you team ds devs are ever in my hometown hit me up for a beer or some pizza!

I had some serious issues with Cm9... WiFi not working, force closing apps, did not even managed to get mybackup working to restore my data, apps etc. Camera was not running properly and the launcher itself was not that smooth, compared to nova... I'll wait for the next update or the RC to try it out again, till then I am staying with vinq.
I suppose it's more or less personal preference which rom you choose atm

Edit: I get round 1 fc in 24h and when I start the app again, it's always working. Do not have any stability issues with the new kernel...

True... I should try vinq... but I know the support for CM has been fantastic so far and I'm kinda hooked on it so far lol! First time with ics and I never wanna go back.

Look, tbalden is working on both so you don't have to feel like betraying cm team or something like that... I mean I am switching from cm9 to vinq and back (right now staying on vinq because of the better experience) and trying things out. It's important for the devs that we do it to get rid of the errors...
I can recommend vinq, you can backup cm9, flash vinq, try it out (report errors) and then switch back if you don't like it... Not that I'm trying to convince you, just listing the options. Basically that is a question of 20 minutes to try a rom out, it's not like you will be formating your windows pc... :thumbup:
Cm9 has great support, I was running CM7 on my old Desire Z but ICS is just a totally different experience

Well... 20 mins is slightly low with flashing it from s-on... more like a day or two to test battery life and whatnot haha. Downloading now anyway.

Ah, well yes, that's true
EDIT: how is the ROM? Do you like it?

Download corrupted since I was doing it on my phone and I haven't had a chance to download over a more stable connection because I'm moving and my internet is turned off will update when I get to download and try it out.
