Help deciding on which ROM

[jagrave]

Hey,

I've been thinking about rooting and roming my rezound. I was wondering which rom would be recommended at the moment?
I need almost everything to work. And I work 12 hour shifts, so I need decent battery life. I make it through a whole day stock, especially if I turn data off when I'm not using it. I would to maybe try to make it more smooth, faster, and have decent battery life. How stable are sense 4.0 roms? and cm9 based ones? I would just like some recommendations on what to try first. thanks!

I would definitely go with ViperRez . Very stable and good battery life.

Business ICS and vigor 360 have my vote, both are stable and *****BUGLESS*****. Sense 4 roms still have some kinks to be worked on

Ineffabilis deus 1.2 for sure. I've mentioned this before and I'll say it again. Ive flashed all kinds of ROMs but nothing is as perfect as Chingy's ROMs. Everything that I use works perfectly. Give it a shot.

BTW I'm not trying to say all the other ROMs aren't as good. What I should say is try them all out for yourself. Everyone has different tastes.

I can vouch for ineffabilis deus. The only problems I had was I couldn't get wifi tether to work and some minor glitches with the keyboard not popping up in text inputs on the main browser but using a different browser worked. I may have been the only one with those problems.. but it is a solid sense rom. Plenty of options to choose from when you flash it.
Now on cm9 Le noob and it's really smooth. In calls though the sound is a bit funky.. But everything is faast

I recommend Ineffabilis deus 1.2 but business ICS is also good

I couldn't get Wi-Fi to work either, but besides that it's flawless.

We have great devs across the board for the Rezound and each offers something unique and cool for their ROMs. I would say try several and figure out what works best for you. I have used ViperRez, Nils Business Sense, Newt's, Neo's AOKP and NeoMax, Vigor, and Ineffabillis (current). I like them all and find certain aspects of each appeal to me. S-off opens a whole new door of possibilities. Have fun and enjoy the hunt.

I'd vote for either of Nils' ROMs. I'm running his Sense 4 ROM right now and the only bug I've found is that every now and then Facebook authentication fails and I have to log in again. That happens every other week or so. Battery life is really good, but I think all Sense 4 ROMS are pretty good on battery.

htc rezound rom

Hey,

I've been thinking about rooting and roming my rezound. I was wondering which rom would be recommended at the moment?

I have tried ClearRom4.5 and used it for a while, then I tried ViperRez1.0.3, Newts, and currently I am using Vigor360.

Honestly, if the camera will be stable in the ViperRez1.0.3, I would be still using it. So far, it is the ROM that gave me better battery life compared with others and it is very smooth imo.

I installed Newts and I was astonished with all the things loaded in there. Great ROM. Ubber stable. The camera is fast and didn't see any issues. Everything works in there. My only complain was that compared with other ICS ROMs it seems that it lags a bit for me and the battery drains faster than any other ROM I tried.
Because how stable is this ROM, I tried a couple of Kernels to see if I could get the same smoothness that I got with previous ICS ROMS. No luck!!

I just installed Vigor360 about a week ago and it is great too. Battery consumption is way better than Newts but less better than ViperRez. But the ROM is flawless and smooth. Probably same or better than ViperRez.

Benchmark in Quadrant Standard with all 4 different ROMS (with their original Kernels) gave me the average of:
- CleanRom4.5 **3100
- ViperRez 1.0.3 ** 3600
- Newts ** 2900
- Vigor360 **3100

Now, if we can have an ICS ROM that is stable as Newts, with the battery life of ViperRez and the smoothness of Vigor360, then we will have a winner.

If you don't need Sense, try Miui. The UI is very clean and smooth.

+1 for ViperRez. Stable, fast, and great battery life. Been using it since the end of July, & haven't looked back. Sense 4 is awesome. Now using it with DSB's kernel, which also works great. Camera and camcorder both working fine. Only "issue", if you want to call it that, is the data arrows not working, but you will see that with any of the Sense 4 ROMs, and to me, it is a non-issue. Awesome.

Oh, also, the Kindle app force closes, which has been reported, but again, no big deal to me, because I have my Nexus 7 for that, LOL.

Good luck, and enjoy.

+10 viper rez.1.0.3 S-off your phone use dsbs cubed sense 4kernel. Great battery life, stable, smooth , extremely customizable, camera and camcorder work great for me so I don't know what problems other people are having.
Only thing is kindle force closes it that's just what I've read I dont use it.
If you like "sense" then vipers the way to go..

I recommend ViperRez latest with BAMF kernel.

 

[nes4r2]

Go with CM9, I literally shed a tear as to how awesome it is.

Thank ya'll for all the replies. I'm kind of afraid to do the s-off thing right now, so i'm sticking with just unlocking and roming. So far the only one I've tried is Neo's Rage1.2 and its pretty awesome. When the screen is off it barely has battery drain at all. I'm interested in trying viperrez, but I think i read that he is about to release an update soon so I'll probably wait until it comes out. But an example of the battery life of rage1.2: I have the standard battery, its been off charge for 16h 47 min, with 1h 1 min screen on time and i'm sitting at 37% battery. Granted a lot of that time was with data off when i wasn't using it, but when I had the screen on data was on. Just figured I would throw that out there for anyone interested.

You've just got to try the ROMs man. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but there are one thousand threads about "best" ROMS, and each is equally useless. Your device, tastes, and desires are going to determine which ROMS are most successful for your setup. I can almost guarantee that if you flash ANY rom in the development thread that it's going to be great. Just a heads up, it's best to refrain from discussing "best" ROMS. It just pisses devs off.

I hope that it didn't offend anyone. I was just wondering what people that are using the ROMS thought about which one would be good for me based on what I was needing. Because I know some ROMS will be great, but not have as great of battery life as another ROM that is just as awesome. I like getting suggestions, and seeing what people like about which ROM. I will keep what you said in mind, and I really appreciate you letting me know that.
