What's your current Daily Driver?

Anyone have a small list of must have apps for ICS rooted? I have Ti backup, battery cal. and adfree, but im still looking for other things. Seems light flow has more options now. Anything else recommended?

Not necessarily rooted, but I bought Nova Prime and use it on every rom I flash. Well worth it for the gestures IMHO.

Hmm.. I'll just see exactly what has root access on my phone and comment, lol:
AdFree - Absolutely necessary. Awesome. Set it once, set it to check for updates daily and automatically download them, download the current ones, reboot, never think about it again. MONEY.

Light Flow - Definitely critical with the gnex's multicolor notification light. Takes some setting up to get it to your liking, but once done you can back it up with TiBu and restore it with data after every ROM flash and be good to go.

AOKP's Rom control - requests SU access when you use it to set your cpu clocks, governor, etc. Good thing.

Root Explorer - Use it more often than maybe anything else. Necessity.

Titanium Backup (TiBu) - Root user / Crackflasher's best friend... developer's worst enemy. Developers hate it because it lets users backup and restore system data between ROM flashes. NEVER EVER restore system data after you have wiped and flashed a new ROM, ANY system data, period. That's it. Use it to backup User apps and restore the ones you NEED with data, such as your games progress and Light Flow like utilities. Restore data sparingly, but restore apps freely. I never use market restore because I let TiBu restore all my apps, but only about half of them with data. Never have issues.

Wifi Tether - I tether only in "emergencies" and don't recommend doing it much, but boys will be boys. Great free app to have and works perfectly when you need it to.

franco.kernel Updater - (or any kernel you are using that has a corresponding app) always good to have. The apps are usually cheap, you are supporting a great developer all the time, and they let you download and flash updated kernels with ease as well as get into settings within the kernel that aren't available in your ROM control's built in performance controls.

Thats it for me :)
 
Currently running Liquid 1.25 with ImoseyOn Lean Kernel exp1 3.1.0. Very stable and smooth setup! :)

Axiom Morph and loving it. I use to flash a different rom everyday trying to find one that was perfect. I thought it was loosing battle untill i flashed axiom morph. I have been running this for about a week now with no problems at all.
 
Just flashed Liquid 1.3 with the v6. Not bad so far. Only a few minor issues. Still not sure if the V6 caused them or not?

Many users are reporting that V6 isn't being friendly with liquid 1.3. I would hold off on V6 for now.

Might be too late for that. Its been done and everything works fine except the one issue that I described in the liquid post. Other issues are so minor and inconsistent I don't even worry about them, I did use the 1.3 script, hopefully others are not flashing the one for 1.25.
 
CM9 here. Have to stay with 4.03 version for Bluetooth compatibility 3/18 I believe. Wife is running latest unofficial cm9.

Runs great. No complaints :)
 
I dunno what the Liquid team did but they did an AWESOME job on 1.3
Plenty fast for MY needs without seeing the need for the v6 supercharger (like I have on 1.25) . I even downclocked it to 1036 and it's STILL FAST. (not that I'm complaining or anything like that). LOLz :D

I ended up ditching 1.3 due to slowdown after a couple of days and no solution other then reflashing to fix the other issues I was having. I'm sure 1.3 is solid for some, but it didn't work out for me this time. I will have another go when 1.4 hits. I still can't rule out the supercharger as the cause for these issues so I might not use it next time.

Till a new Axiom/liquid Rom hits or another AOKP milestone I'll be using patient zero, just seems the most solid out of everything I've flashed. Till then I am test driving the Franco milestone 3 kernel on PZ. So far so good, I'll report back after I am done calibrating the battery. So far performance seems spot on.
 
There is a thread on wiki about liquid vs aokp and its all over the place. Some claim liquid is a "buggy mess", while othesr say its a super rom. Some heated convos lol

I just like aokp. No liquid for me.

Yeah. This iteration of Liquid seems to have more naysayers than before.

That being said, currently using AOKP B34 w/ franco M3.

I had high hopes for liquid since it was my DD on my D1, but the rom had problems then also. I remember people having issues with the 3G for at least 5-6 releases including myself. Only positive I can say is day 1 it was the smoothest rom I had used, but then it started to slow down. Patient z is so much more consistent with speed, and a lot more solid for being a beta.

Dm, how's the FM3 working out so far?

Honestly, limited time (flashed it at around 10pm or so EST, or whenever I posted about it), but so far it's very fast and life seems good. Probably the most well rounded FK since he started the new RXXX and milestone stuff.
