[Q] what do YOU think is the most stable ROM and Kernal?

[swegin]

Hello all-

I LOVE trying out roms and kernals, and I am growing tired of every rom and kernal stating "stable, fast, totally awesome, etc" I know there are some awesome roms and kernals out there but I wanted to know what YOU believe is the fastest and/or most stable ROM and kernal out there?

Skyraider 3.5 with any of lou's kernels from 6 onwards.

No, nightlies by definition are not stable. they are experimental builds. many things break in the nightlies.

not being difficult but this thread definitely does not belong in the dev section. this should be in the general or q&a section.

Myns roms are always stable for me

I agree it belongs in Q&A, but I stand by my response. I believe it is the most stable ROM at this point in time for Inc no matter what the "definition" is.

OP check it out. Are you on a SLCD or AMOLED?

not one single problem ever for me using protekk cm7 an invisiblekk kernel. More stable than any sense rom i've used.

i have had a few issues on cm7. the latest one was on #19 - i lost mobile network data connectivity. also check the CM7 & Protekk threads. there have been gps issues on the protekk #10 build too. this thing is far from stable. the most stable roms I ever used were:

1. the verizon stock build
2. virtuous
3. redemption
4. skyraider

However, I choose to not run any of those because they are too simple I am a rom philanderer and cm7 and the desire z and other roms I use are full of features I want. Stability is overrated IMHO. Thats my opinion.

Well said. I wouldn't know how stable the verizon stock build is as of late. The one I had when I got the phone in April 2010 was not even close to stable.

Virtuous was my 1st rooted ROM it was fantastically stable

Redemption was excellent as well for stability although mms was hit and miss sometimes as well as theming breaking optimizations at times.

Never ran SR long enough to judge for myself.

Funny about the gps issue. I just tested this right now and if you don't leave it on, which a lot of people do, there is a re-acquiring satellite issue until a reboot. This is the 1st bump I've hit with nightly 17, and although I'll never see it as I leave gps on it is a bump. Thanks for pointing it out!

My choice is Warm Z 2.2, which, even though I am using the Re-Engineered Nightlies, it is still very stable and extremely snappy with Hydra’s Stock speed undervolted kernel, to mention incredible (yes, pun intended) battery life, even with the pile of dog crap that is the stock battery.

had to laugh at the dog crap battery comment - thunderbolt is just 1400 mah stock battery. wonder what will happen to that one!

Thanks, the last verizon build (that was deodexed and posted in nov i think) was stable. Not sure whether I had a bad download but I had data network issues with #19 too. I also did not notice the GPS issue (since I leave it on) until I read about it.

I love me some myn 2. 2 rsl 4. Ziggy mightyrom #3 (stock rom kernel).

CM7 nightly's have been my daily driver.

Been using protekks cm7 daily builds im currently on #8 with invisiblek and life has been sweet!! incredikernel was nice outside of the fact it made my phone get warm when it was charging.

Is the hydrakernel strictly froyo? No info on the page about it

Magnolia with Ziggy's CFS HAVS kernel has been treating me quite nicely! Very stable even at overclocked speeds like 1.15. It's smooth, but not the fastest ROM out there. CM6 is pretty stable too with stock kernel, and very snappy!

 

[sharper4]

I think CM7 has the most promise, but for stability I would say that the SkyRaider ROMs were always the most stable. I tried Myns but I had a few problems and returned to SkyRaider Athena.

 

[mikeymop]

OMFGB 1.1.1 with Invisiblek's latest GB kernel. I get 200+ uptime without any slow downs, I end up rebooting for an updated kernel. I got one FC on the Rom since I installed it and it was for LauncherPro

 

[POQbum]

If you want stability you need to stick with HTC Sense and a good solid kernel like chad's incredikernel.
AOSP ROM's have a tendency to not be nearly as stable, although they can run faster and have some other features you mind find interesting.

A top choice for a Sense ROM is SkyRaider 3.5
AOSP as you can see, CM7 is a lot of people's first choice- but it is not as stable as most sense ROM's but I wouldn't call it unstable either.
