Best/Favorable ROMs?

Searching through these forums, I was overwhelmed with all the ROM options.
I ask you, what are your favorite ROMs and what separates them from the competition?

minez are CM6 and Virus rom revolution those are nice CM6 because its something different big time and virus rom because its good on the battery and its fast

Good question.
Try them all and see what you like. It's all about personal preference.
I like Damage Control and Cyanogen Rom's
Also, this would be a good question to put in the Q&A rather than the development section.

i have tried them all and keep going back to CM6
OBTW this should be in general

Baked Snack, then CM6

If you want to ditch sense, Cyanogen is the way to go. If you like Sense, gotta keep it Freshhhhhhhh

Damage and fresh are the most popular sense roms
CM is the most popular senseless rom.
Force

I love Calkulin evio series rom. Then baked snack followed by cm 6

Definitely like CM the best...but because 4g, hdmi, and fm radio dont work.....I run fresh's latest rom with toast/netarchy's kernel. I also like some of the htc and sense apps/widgets. Fresh is quick and stable for a sense rom with some extra tweaks in it.

Most roms are good, although they are pretty similar so just go with whatever seems like the best to you. Damage Control, Fresh, and Baked Snack seem like the most popular. Fresh is a really nice and stable rom that has a great updater app. Baked Snack is my favorite though (atm). The optional kernels really make it great for tailoring your experience.

I've tried most of them also but Caulkin's is the whole package to me Fast, stable and pretty much everything is working. CM6 is great but with no 4g or hdmi I'll have to wait to they get everything working.

cm 6 is tight..
Sent from ANDROIKAY ON CM6 from xda app =]

No matter how far I stray into other rom's I try I always go back to cyanogen. It's just nice to not have sense. Even without parts working it's the best.
Fresh and baked snack are nice though. Especially with netarchy/toast custom kernel.

I switch between Fresh, Ava's and CM6. It's nice to have choices that don't take a ton of work to swap on your phone. These Dev's are awesome and do great work, so try them all and see what you like. You can always just do an nandroid restore and move on to the next rom until you find the best fit for you.

Damage Control has great battery life.

[Q] Best slide [ROM].

Hey everyone. My wife decided her mytouch slide is a little too laggy for her. I have rooted and flashed HTC phones and my vibrant with great success. I am going to do her phone this weekend but I need some help please. I do NOT follow this forum at all so I have no idea what [ROM]s are stable and functioning for everyone else. If I could please get some input from you guys that have been here and have tested these out it would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance

Good luck!

The dopio oc kernels are also very stable esp at 768 and 806. Just use set cpu app to maximize battery life.
The cm nightlies are also usually very stable.
The slide reloaded rom is also a sweet themed version of cr's full ota rom.

Yeah, for my uses, Cyan with the dopio kernel is the way to go 100%. But you never know, once you get the ENG flashed, let your wife play with all the ROMs she can handle until she finds one she likes. ROM Manager makes it ridiculously easy.

What about the galaxy slide rom by infinitybiff? Anyone tried that? I don't use touch wiz on my vibrant but the wife might like it. Still leaning towards cyan. Just need something fast and stable for her. I'm gonna have to theme it for her myself cause there is no one doing that.

Yes, just make sure you back up first, in case you want to switch back.

cyanogenmod or crmod

I just flashed Galaxy Slide Beta the other day after using CR for the longest time. its the first ROM that i have flashed (and there have been many) that i didn't immediately flash straight back to CR. i am having a minor trouble with the color scheme in the notification pull down and i haven't tried all the features yet... (i.e. bluetooth, tethering, and maybe one or two more) but all in all i love it!

The dopio kernel is integrated into cyanogenmod 6.1+, no need to flash it over again, but other roms you will have to flash it.

Cyanogenmod is froyo, and based off of the AOSP source, so it has a more vanilla flavor to it. CR_Mod is just the rooted stock OTA ROM with a wifi tether, and a2ext built in. CR_Mod is also eclair, it just all depends on what you like better, the latest vanilla customizable stuff, or the more stock HTC sense feel, with all of the t-mobile stuff.

Roms! What's your rom?

What kind of rom do you use?

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, done! Close thread...lol

There are many Rom's that are good.
It's just a question of which one you like and then stick with it.
I have tested just about all of them. But keep coming back to Fresh, I have been mainly on 3.3.0.1. If you donate to his cause you can also get his kitchen which lets you do more on it.
Plus there are so many themes that you can change it's look without really changing the ROM.
Good luck Flashing, and Remember Nandroid is your friend here.
Oh I also use amon_ra as it's been the best at clearing the Caches for flashing.

Vaekpak for minimal SENSE with 4g.
MIUI if 4g and MMS ever get resolved.

Really?
I guess we can just delete all the other ROM threads then too..

I'm on the latest Nightly with Snap BFS. Came from the DesireHD rom. That rom is the definition of sick, but unfortunately it's battery life is the worst I've seen on the Evo.

Calkulin's 1.3.1
Best rom I found. Myn's warm is nice too but I prefer calkulin's.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Go Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1
The kernel within is HTC updated which puts hit on battery life , netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 cfs kernel is a excellent replacement.
That ROM & kernel combined provides stability top notch performance.

Sure, sounds good....How do we get that done?
J/K. There are some great Roms out there by many developers each offering it's own flavor....My personal favorite is Myn's. I might be biased here because of my HTC Vogue days and his ability to turn that device into a fully operating Android machine! His EVO Rom offers stability, speed, looks, and something that just says wow....
Also, if you want the next best thing but can live without some features and don't mind things not being perfect, check out Zippy's Desire HD Rom. Also Bcnices's MIUI Rom.
I am pretty sure Calkulin's Rom would be pretty close to perfect as I have ran his prior versions on my EVO and they have worked well.....Also check out Virus and Ava. I am sure I am forgetting some of the other top dogs out there.
Most of the developers have gotten a pretty good handle on there Roms so I suggest reading through them to see what the comments are within the thread which should help with your decision making.....
You can find most of the Roms within the first 2 pages.....If it has fallen below that, I would question it....

2nd that. I also use Calkulin's 1.3.1 and after adjusting oc profiles to 1152, I get amazing speed and battery life. Also did away with HTC scene for ADW and found all the widgets lost with HTC scene like music player and grid calendar. Really dumped HTC for ADW for landscape support. Just make sure to pick one as default because you will take a hit with both running.

I tried almost all the roms here and it depends of your flavor lol, anyways sense roms favorite is myns is just looks clean and functional with eye candy ha ha but fresh and calkulin Rom are good as well and fast and stable. I'm trying evervolv v 0.2 I it comes with the slate theme from desire HD dump Rom and it looks really good so far it looks stable, if you don't like sense then I hues CM 6 will be good, the other roms are great but never left them for over a day idk y ha ha, there is one that I like but I forgot the name and is new too. I think this guys are doing a great job with their roms that have manage to put something really good for us and they all deserve credit

Get in the zone
If you want something that looks different and works great.
I recommend Evo Zone. It is by far the best looking Rom out here. It is original and creative in its look.
As far as battery life goes, you can try different kernels till you find the one that works best for you.

I really like Burnt Droid 1.2, Fresh 3.3.0.1 with netarchy 4.1.9.1 CFS and Ava Froyo v9 with Kings CFS #10.
These ROM's have been fast, stable & battery friendly for me.
Sent from my EVO running Ava Froyo v9 with Kings CFS #10.

I like Ava Froyo v9 with LowRider Theme Over It.
Also my rom Sexy Evo Has awesome download speeds, and a sexy rosie, but i dont update it that much.

Yes, It's another one of these

I need a ROM that fulfills the following reqs:
Stable: Must be stable as this is for a non techie so... yeah
Fast: Better performance then the original ROM
Good battery life: This is a MUST
Clean: No crapware preinstalled
And preferably gingerbread although if froyo is better...
Thanks guys

For the best battery life and speed it will need to be froyo since devs don't have GB source to work with. I always like the Bonsai froyo ROMs. Google Bonsai android for their site. I am currently using Hurricane 1.6 Gingerbread Rom but you have to do some tricks to make it stable and keep it from rebooting randomly.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Exactly what i'm looking for also. Bump.

Yeah... That wont work.I need something that wont crash if you give it 8 espresso shots and wait a few hours.
So i need something stable.

Stick with froyo if you want the best chance at stability. Syndicate rom frozen 1.2 has always been old trusty for me and a lot of others. Be sure to flash a kernel immediately after the rom, as it does not include one. Urban regeneration is another good choice. You almost can't go wrong with any of the great froyo roms at this point. As kenny said, there are ways to make gb roms run fairly stable, but it takes a lot of effort.

You just read my mind. I was about to ask about syndicate ROM

Look into twilight and genocide kernel. There are a few others that will work well with it, I prefered genocide when I was running srf 1.2.

acs 1.2 and genocide 2.0
This pair works pretty well, phone feels snappier and nothing strange occuring after about a week or two of solid use - battery is maybe a bit better but I'm charging whenever I can.

While there are always more obscure others you might want to find... if you're looking for the best, you can start with the most popular. Check out the top threads on the development forum and see what people are saying.

Well, since he didn't want to shill his own rom.. i'll sing it's praises.. randomrom phoenix 2.2 is awesome. super snappy, no freezes or crashing and does above average on battery life.
Simply AOSP 4.01 is also super fast, and very slimmed down. There are a decent number of options for Froyo roms that you should be happy with..

SRF 1.2 is my "trusty old axe" too... I like Twilight Zone kernel. Isn't there a fix out for the SU Binary issue with Genocide 2.0? I haven't tried it yet.
You can't go wrong with anything by Computerkid23 or Random, either...

Man I would go with decks 1.3 or 1.3d try and see which one works better on her phone, make sure you set it up for her, and I would add launcher pro to it, set widgets and shortcuts, and theme.

I would say Tommy's classic v0.0.5 final untilled the new final comes out. Its very quick and stable. Its the only sense rom that has kept my from going back to aosp.

i say go with cm7 or shooter rls 5.5 both are great roms but cm7 will give her a bit more battery life.

So what we're Reeeeally trying to say is, They're all great roms. You'll just have to try them until you find the one that suits you...(meanwhile, behind the facade of an innocent sounding phone hacker,drlzanej is underhandedly trying to create another "Flashoholic". dun,,,,dun dundun, duuun)

ODJ DUB HD BLISS! I love this rom and everything works. Also has a blue theme etc.! Just make sure and partition the sd card as directed.

The first three are sense 1.0 tweaked to the max
The second two are sense 2.1 with 3.0 widgets
The last two are 3D ports. Sense 3.0

i was just looking for the name of the rom to let him know i got it fot my girlfreind and she loves it you got down on that one diablo keep up the good work. Pink Pussycat is the best fot the wife trust me shell like it

I'm defiantly a flashaholic. That's the biggest problem. There are many ROM's out there that I've tried. I prefer a sense 3.5 ROM but it lacks 4G among other things. I put her on the MikG ROM and it seems to be running fine. I had a stock OTA on there but the phone kept getting FC's however; I recently found that she's been in Titanium Backup removing files that she has no idea interact with the OS. Silly wife, tweaks are for peeps!

Don't know if this is solved it not...but If you want sense I recommend Tommy tomatoes classic, for soso it's decks all the way...find one that works with a2sd and your set
