Can we get a poll on what Rom is the most popular?

I would love to see which ROMs are the most popular over time (kinda like a Live poll)
Also on this thread I would like to know why you chose your ROM to help me make the choice on which ROM I might try next. Is this possible?
I have used Uncommon Sense, SkyRaider, Virtuous and my current and favorite ROM is Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1.3.
I really like RRevo 2.1.3 because it is fast, stable, great dev support, clean, and great battery life.

I use virtuous because I love stock HTC sense and just wanted to be able to change a few things a bit easier.

Skyraider Sense for me.

Lou's Senseless w/launcher pro plus (I've been experimenting with go launcher and actually would like it better if it had scrolling widgets)
smooth as silk using Lou's #4 kernel, #5 didn't do it for me

What was different on 4? I am trying to decide which one to use now.

Myn's Warm 2.2 for me, at the moment. Tried them most of them out there - haven't found a bad one yet! The Devs here all do great work.

Was the desire z but keep coming back to cyanogen. It's very quick, highly customisable, and nightly builds are awesome.

I can't tell you for sure that battery life is better on #4 because I didn't try #5 for more than 12 hours or so, but I can tell you that battery life on #4 is terrific and it is definitely smoother for me as far as transitioning between screens and apps within the 2 launchers I use (lp+ and go launcher). I would give both a try and I would give chad's a try too as his is great also (better than #5 and similar to #4).
Every phone seems to react differently so just check them out.
sorry I can't be more helpful

MIUI for me as of right now. Using incrediblek's #18. Lovin' it.

I am trying 4 now. Thanks for thoughts, helped a lot

myns 2.2 right now. I tried most of the roms on here, and that's my favorite mainly because of rosie. Running the new kernel posted by lou and it's a great combo.

I used skyraider for a while, really liked, but currently using myns warm 2.2 for last week, both are great.

Best ROM
Evervolv AOSP for me

I'm using Myns Warm 2 Point 2 as well at the moment.
I've tried CM, SR (sense, vanilla), RR... These are all great too.
I don't like MIUI all that much
I would also give mention to Blackdroids Ultimate AOSP Rom. Very good....
Favorite?
Myns Warm 2.2... XD For the win

you should try myn's 2.2 next, im using it right now and its my fav/fastest sense yet

CM nightly (has the led & camcorder fix) with Incrediblik #16 and Dark Froyo theme. I really like Lou's Redemptive but don’t like sense. But I love CM. The Dark Froyo theme put them together perfectly for me.

I will try this next, any tweeks worth adding to this?

Definitely for me, CM6.

Just click on the "Stats" button on the top bar. It'll sort each thread by how many views/posts. Obviously the ones with the most views/posts are the most popular.

[Q] Is there a perfect rom?

I just wanted to know if there is a perfect rom out there. Latest Android OS, working GPS, WiMax, Wifi, and cameras without any problems. And a little customization would be nice too. Is that asking for too much? I'm on the Destroyer v.2 rom.

Koni 3. Everything works. Not one thing on my phone that I tested didn't work. GPS, navigation, WiFi, 4g, Camera is awesome, it's fast, good battery and damn beautiful looking.

Myns Warm twopointtwo RLS5 is amazing as well. And offers TONS of customizations. I use it as my daily. Oh and EVERYTHING works. Check it out

thanks. i just downloaded koni and going to flash later. and i used Myn RLS5 as my daily for quite a while. had to try a new one. but thanks. i already thanked both of you with the button

[Q] Need help finding the right rom.

I would like some help finding the Rom I'm looking for. Everything needs to work, 4g ,WiFi, god, mms, EVERYTHING!! Without turning off then standing on my head in a storm and rebooting 4 times while singing show tunes. It needs to be fast and stable, sense ,also battery has to be better than stock. Does a Rom like this exist?

Any of the Sense ROMs built of the last OTA will work for you. MikFroyo, Warm 2.2 RLS5, Azrael, Sprint Lovers, Unleashed, Elite 3, EViO, etc.
For me, I like MikFroyo, Warm and EViO. MikFroyo and Myn both have TONS of add ons. EViO always gave me the best battery life. I think EViO and MikFroyo are both a little faster than Warm, but all three are extremely stable.
A lot of the other sense ROMs are built using Aamikam's base ROM as a starting point and he is the one that made MikFroyo, so any that say they use Aam's base should be good too.
edit (2): I think I edit posts more than anyone else on here.

Recommend me a ROM please!

I'm not picky here, I just want a stable ROM with 4G and the main stuff working. I just ask that for something with good battery life. I'm currently using Baked Snacks 1.9 and it drains crazy fast.
On a side note, hopefully the installation is easy. Are all the new ROM's requiring you to wipe the SD card, format, etc? What happened to just installing the zip?

I recommend CM7. Use the 7.0.1 stable version.

My only issue with CM7 is the voicemail not working. I know you can use Google Voice, but i've seen a lot of people not liking that either. Any idea about that?

The voice mail does work:
-on a sense rom, verify the app works
-backup the app and data with titanium backup
-flash back to CM7
-restore app and data with titanium backup
I use google voice, but I personally like that.

I'll give it a try then! Any ideas on kernel? Stick with stock or is there a recommended one for battery life?

Myns warm 2.2 rls 5 has it all and its stable. CM7 has given some problems. They can be worked out but be prepared.

For CM7, Timatt kernel...3.3.7 or 4.02 are the best. DO NOT USE 4.0.0, as it broke cameras left and right.

What's this google apps addon? Where do I get that?

I like
both of Virus ROMS.. the GengerSense and Revolution .. i have had good luck with both

Destroyer v2 rom or end of days
it's awsome with transitions battery life suks but wwith a custom kernel it's badass
and if u want great battery life flash a kernel for a aosp rom try tiamat's 4.0.2 sbc or savaged zen
for a sense based rom try netarchy oh and dude if u like ur rom but hate battery life u can just flash a kernel

It could be something other than the rom. Have you tried calibrating your battery? If you're in a crappy coverage area, flashing a new rom won't help (much). Also be sure to turn off your radios when not in use - 3g/4g, wifi, gps, bluetooth, etc. When I can, I use wifi. It saves a ton of battery over 3g/4g and it's always faster... at least for me.
But I'd still flash a new rom, just for fun
Sent from my Evo using Tapatalk

try the original destoryer rom( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988684&highlight=destroyer ) along with tiamats 3.3.8 or tiamats 3.3.8 with sbc depending if you like sbc or not ( http://www.tiamat-aosp.com/downloads.php/ ). i get about 14-20 hours of moderate to heavy use.

do cm7 for sure.
both of the destroyers are based on cm7, and both are sadly out of date. end of days is the newer version of destroyer, and is more in date, but still flash cm7 nightly.
i would wait until the next nightly comes out. that'll have fixed mms. or just flash stable 7.0.3.1.
either way tiamat 4.0.2 is the bomb.

agreed... cm7 nightlies with tiamat 4.0.2 is killer
flashing decks gingerbread as we speak...

Check out Koni's Elite series 3...... everything works and it is the fastest sense room available....... it is flawless and does not get enough credit.....everyone should check this out......i have tried all of them and this is by far the best.....imho
Sent from ELITE SERIES 3 EVO SUPERSONIC!

I use MikFroYo v4.6 it runs and feels like stock. I have never found a problem with his roms.

AOSP: SalvageMod, Deck's Gingerbread, CyanogenMod
Sense: Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, MikFroyo, AvaFroyo, Azrael, Fresh

End of Days ! (click on my siggy and get EOD v1)
it is based on recent cm7 (everything works)
and...
ive found a way to tweak the colors and make it look super smooth!!
but.....
for battery life you can get that with ANY rom. just need to do a little more homework on whats going on with your phones curent congifuration.

Virusrom Gingersense is awesome. Lockscreen and tabs in notification and sweet ass sweet. Long as you use stock kernal everything works. Oh and Virus gives props to the Cyanogen guys for the elements in his rom. Bunch of pretty stuff. Battery life is phenomenal also. Lost 3% idle overnight. I'm happy happy.

LAGGY, LAGGY EVO! ROM recommendations?

Hey all.
I am currently using the Synergy non-god mode rom and hate it.
It keeps freezing and takes forever to populate the icons. I litearlly just look at a blank home screen for what seems to take forever and it drives me nuts.
I want a new ROM!
I see some newer ones out there plus the new WARM
I KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY VAGUE QUESTION...BUT what is "the rom" that people are using.
I want something that will not take forever to get my icons on the homescreen! I guess the term is snappy.
I tend to like the HTC sense...used to that.
I would be happy with Synergy, but it just is not that stable for me.
Thanks
Mike

Try mikg3.0...very solid ROM themikmik.com

I have heard...
Heard that they were good ROMs. Any issues that I should anticipate?

None that I have experienced. Mik puts out some solid stuff.
Warm put out a TwoPointThree which is great... but new and has some bugs.
What are you looking for? I mean we can give solid recommendations... just need to know what you are looking for... Like:
is 4G/Wimax a must have?
Is Sense ROM a must have?
Does it need to be tested and solid or are you willing to try newer stuff?
EDIT: Also if you like the ROM you are on, you can try the COD tweak and see if it helps... http://vaelek.com/index.php/topic/1...sonic-tweaking-guide-v102-120411/page__st__40

Swagged Out Stock is pretty good, I'm having better luck with that then MikG actually.

The classic by tommytomatoe

THANKS
Thanks for all the recommendations.
What I am looking for...I don't know if I am looking for the PERFECT ROM or what.
but, what I am seeking is a good, stable snappy rom that doesn't lag like my synergy. Must have 4g and working camera.
I don't care if there is a carousel or anything like that.
I am willing to try new, I see a bunch of ICS Roms, but no camera or video. Deal killers.
I really do like Sense a lot, mostly cause of be being able to dial a number by dialing the name.
I guess I am mostly looking for stability and one that won't lag. When I flick the unlock ring, my synergy just freezes and I get frustrated waiting for it to work. Lots of battery pulls....
Oh yeah...good battery too.
Am I asking for the moon?
Thanks!
Mike
PS.
I tried that tweeking guide a few months ago. Not sure if I did it correctly, but no difference.

You want one of these:
Mikg from MikMik @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967
or
Evo Classic from tommytomato @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312414
I have run both and they are great and meet your requirements . I am partial to Mik's as I keep returning to MikG when my "must have new ROM" itch dissipates

I was on MikG v3.0 for a few weeks and loved it. Ran great with Chopsuey. Then I got a little bored and heard good things about Tommytomatoe's Classic. I tried the v0.0.5 with More Freedom kernel and I'm getting the best battery life I have ever had and the sdcard loads very quickly and icons come up real fast after rebooting. Also am running the v6 script.

Hit that thanks button if I managed to help.

If you want sense I would highly recommend the latest version of MikG. My brother uses it and it runs really smooth, especially when you do the CoD supersonic tweaking (google it)

Decks rom!!!!

Lol I just switched back to MikG cause I like the way that rom looks compared to Classic and am using those tweaks and it's working like a charm. I've never heard of this before so thanks for sharing.

Hit that thanks button if I managed to help.

Try a Sense 1.0 ROM based off of the latest OTA. There are a TON to choose from now-a-days. The best in my opinion is def tommytomatoe's EVO Classic. I'm always chasin' him in the features department. But obviously I'm going to plug my Swagged Out Stock as well.
But just search "4.54 ROM" and you will find a BUNCH to choose from.
Good luck!
P.S.: I recommend these because they are all 100% stable!

Did it always run slow or did it used to be quick and just now running like crap? The reason I ask is because you can have things on your phone, besides your ROM, that make the phone come to a crawl. Too many text messages, too many apps on your phone, too much data/cache, etc. Try reloading the ROM or deleting all the crap on your phone before ditching a perfectly good ROM for another.

+1 on mikg 3.0. I ran the alpha 5 evo deck ICS rom. has camera, calendar working. random FC and no sprint voicemail, had to use google voice.
MIKG!!!!!

I think ur lookin for CM7 or Decks rom. In my opinion after a while ur gonna get lag on sense no matter what. U need a AOSP rom they have less lag for sure. I like MIUI but it doesnt have 4G. So i would go CM7 if i were you!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

I feel like you aren't wiping your phone correctly. Synergy is a great and stable ROM (although I haven't used it in months) it shouldn't have the constant freezing and lag that you are receiving..make sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik/everything except for SD card.
just a suggestion..oh amon ra recovery works best imo since cwm is known to not format correctly.
Good luck with Rom choice

Currently using the new WARM, I'm loving it, my only problem with it is that the Rom is a little bulky, like 340mb if I'm not mistaken, so it pretty demanding on storage but other than that its great, got some pretty sweet extra's as well... And the battery life is amazing, I've been using it for about 17 hours while having WiFi on and and browsing every now and then, and battery is just above half, I'd recommend checking it out.
Ribbett, Ribbett, BANG!

I'm planning to stick with ICS (Jared's currently), however MiKG has always been great to me. It just works, and does a lot of little things that you get used to having (intuitive toggles, multiple usb options when plugged in, tweaks, native tethering (hotspot + wired), etc...).
So, if considering staying with GB, +1 for MikG, if wanting to play with ICS, you have 3 options that I know of currently but don't expect it to be as "polished" as a GB rom at this point in time.

I tried deck's alpha 5 ICS build, and the only problems I found with it was that for some reason (there have been hints given towards trebuche being the reason for this) the gallery app is very... touchy? I suppose that would be the word for it, it worked a couple of times, but for the most part it would load and either be a completely black screen or it would say that no sd card was present, which was a little nerve racking when I was attempting to flash another Rom. It scared me because I thought my phone was stuck on that Rom... But I fiddled with it a bit and was able to solve the problem, and from what I saw in his A5 Rom thread both problems had been reported, no clue if there has been a fix yet, but... given that its still in alpha stage, I'd say it's a pretty stable release, I had no issues with f/c or anything of the sort. Very little lag, great battery life, no random reboots.
Ribbet, Ribbett, BANG!
