Root Custom Rom Questions

LTM

Lurker
Hello Everyone, I'm new to joining the site. With that said, i'm not that new to reading through all of your posts which have been very handy.

I have the Incredible 2 and did the 2.3.4 Downgrade to 2.3.3 for the root ability a few months back. It seems to be a little hesitant every now and then. But its not that bad.

A few weeks ago my mms messages have not been coming through. I keep getting "Generic Network Failure".. Has anyone had that problem?

Ok, so on to the real question. I was told to do a custom rom, that it would be better then just having a root done to the OS. I have seen this thread:

http://androidforums.com/incredible-2-all-things-root/520249-need-rom-recommendation-friend.html

I was thinking of doing this rom: MikRunny v1.01 [ Sense 3.5 | GB 2.3.5 | 1/6/2012 ] Do you guys have any thoughts on that rom? I also see that TheAtheistReverend mentions "Andy's and Nit's roms". Is it just preference on these roms? OR is one better then the other...

Thanks
 
ROMs are personal preference. Each ROM is going to have it's good point and bad points. I've been running the MikRunny ROM for a few months now and I really like it. My MMS has been working well with this ROM.

If you have downgraded to 2.3.3 the next step to gain root is very simple. I recommend finishing the root process. Try some different ROMs and see which one satisfies you best.
 
GingerBangSense M is similar to MikRunny but is more recent and is based on stock instead of a port from a different phone.

Both AndysBonestock and Nitsuj's GingerBangSense (both versions) are as rock solid as it gets. Period.
When someone lists a custom ROM, port, or other it is a personal preference for tweeks and speed. There is always (in my experience) a trade off for that kind of thing. It may be fancy, fast, and cool, but right now closer to stock means more reliable and bug-free. At least ever since the last update from VZ. That polished this phone to a shine.
 
Sorry, I have been so busy I haven't had the chance to return to post.

Yeah, I did the full downgrade and root all at once. My mms is just totally not working, not sending or receiving. So I will be doing a Rom of some sort. I guess just picking the one I want now.

Thanks for getting back to me.
 
Well,

I ended up doing the GingerBangSense M and it went nice and fast! Great install, MMS is back to working again.
 
Glad you found a ROM you like. Nit does good work on his ROMs.
