Fav ROM?

which roms do u guys like the most? and please say why?
i am currently using HOTSAUCE ROM and loving it. but battery life was draining way to quick.
VIDEO TAKING WAS LIMITED to 30 minutes.
so i installed Virtuous v0.9.0 Sense but wasnt very customizable so i switched back to HOTSAUCE ROM.
also has unlimited time for VIDEO TAKING.
(video is important to me)

GingerVillain 1.5
Why?
I like gingerbread, it's fast, OC'd @ 1,4 GHZ and battery life is pretty good.

CyanogenMod. It's the best. 'nuff said.

select the link in the post, advanced kernel allows OC to 1.49ghz but requires setcpu parameters.

I've tried a lot of roms, and let me say that Virtuous is an awesome rom if you like the Sense UI. Awesome. I just had a problem with one app fc'ing all the time, so I started trying others. I am staying on the Cyanogen Nightlies, because they run so quickly and smoothly, especially with pershoot kernel.
I have not tried GingerVillain since I'm having so much fun with the nightlies.

Faster because it is almost stock Android and no additional hacks like in CM7 + Needs less space on system partition (because of no added apps).

Cheers for the reply, I assume to take advantage of that extra space I need to s-off and use custom hboot right?
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App

I only used MIUI aosp RoM its very fast and smooth

CyanogenMOD 7
I used it for 2 months and never have problems with it!

GingerVillain, Cyanogenmod

Cyanogen. In my experience the fastest ROM my phone's ever seen.
or try MIUI if you're looking for a whole new UI experience - it's pretty damn good. Can't bring myself to change it

Nah you need not, but if you want the extra space you should.
Also it's down to preferences, but my experience also give the win to oxygen hands down. CM is nice in its own way, but at some points it's just disturbingly complex(yes you get a lot of extra features which is unneeded for me) and many times it stutter at some user-interactions, where oxygen just feels more solid as well as minimal to me.

Redux 1.2. No word of a lie.
HTC Desire, Redux 1.2, S-OFF, CM7 HBOOT.

Tried the latest CM7 but it was rather 'sluggish'... Now tried Redux 1.2 and it's really really nice. DIdn't try Oxygen, perhaps I'll do it when I have some time, but not right now!

For me Oxygenrom offers the best performance. Battery life is also quite good

So I've been running Oxygen 2.2 then 2.2.1 and now I'm on the Redux2 snapshot. Still hard to choose between them. But because it's complete, I would change my suggestion to Oxygen.
PHONE: HTC Desire GSM, S-OFF
ROM: Redux2 Snapshot 18082011
RADIO: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
KERNEL: thalamus 2.6.35.14_r1

Oxygen is the best since it is minimal so that you can add many things accordingly to your needs.

Whats best is subjective. Whats fastest depends on how you use your phone. The fastest ROM I have tried is Redux 1.2
Also, just because something is close to stock doesn't automatically mean its going to be faster.

Fastest and best aosp I've found is GingerVillain 2.8
All the benefits of CM7 but with the added tweaks from Richard Trip.
(Found the home screens were a little sluggish when going from one to another when I first started using it, but then added Launcher Pro to it and now it flies!)

[Q] What would you guys say is the fastest GB ROM?

hey guys im looking to root and put a rom on the incredible and i was wondering what do you think is the fastest ROM. i would prefer something stable.
thanks

Another +1.
This is my first custom ROM experience on the Incredible and its snappiness feels very much like our Incredible 2 that got its Gingerbread OTA last month. Thus far it's been solid, too.
Despite all the interesting ROMs out there to try, I'm getting stuck on Stock Plus v2 very quickly.
- ooofest

Any of the stock leaks with tinys latest. Only sense 1.0, but everything works, zero lag, and amazing battery. Faster than cm7 or any of the aosp roms. 3.5 sense is not even close to being as fast on our phones.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Every time you go up on sense versions the ROMs get slower and slower, stick to sense 1 and you're sure to get a fast ROM. All gingerbread ROMs have bugs tho so some of the older sense 1 froyo ROMs are probably less buggy...

Answer: Jermaine's stock plus
I've installed Jermaine's Stock Plus on my Incredible and several others
for friends of friends. The experience is just like HTC and VZN intended,
but without all the junk that slows down a cold stock phone. Before
flashing his ROM, I deleted a couple other apk's that I wouldn't be using,
and made it FAST FAST FAST no lag anywhere and it only sips the battery.
Can go on one charge til end of day, using it for phone, Maps, and txting.
It's a great daily user with no force closes or problem apps.
Props to all the devs who worked on the end result!
ITSA FINE!

You don't get the constant sync issue when removing Friendstream.apk?

constant sync
re: removal of Friendstream.apk --
No constant sync here for Google Contacts and Calendar plus Weather.
I'm not using Exchange.
If you run Exchange, that may happen. I think it needs Friendstream.apk
to run OK.

Did you guys thank Jermaine for you and your friends? LOL. Sooooo kidding.

Jermaine's Stock+ or, if you can live without the widgets and launcher, Jermaine's InSensitive Minimalist. They are both superb.
And yes, please thank the man already!

If you remove Facebook and Friendstream, should be fine. I remove those on every Rom I flash without issue.

I've only seen the sync issue once before and that was on an older GB rom. I haven't seen or been able to replicate the issue on the newer official OTA based roms.

[Q] What ROM do you use on your Desire?

Hi everyone,
Any suggestions for ROMs to try out on my Desire?
I've run both cyanogen and MIUI and I like them both... but trying some more out would be fun too.
A link to any suggested ROMs would also be appreciated.

Oxygen 2.3.1 with GO Launcher EX. (GB 2.3.7)

for trackball wakeup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063578
I'm Using Oxygen for a long time now.
even thought it isn't heavily customizeable as the CM7,
it has enough feature as setCPU, power widgets on top...
but! the main feature is speed. it's working extremely smooth, and latest gingerbread.
i love it.

I've used and tried a lot of roms for both AOSP and Sense. I do prefer AOSP. I used to use CM7 but I use MIUI now. Want keen on other AOSP roms.
Punched in..

At the moment I´m testing between Revolution 1.7 and Runny 3.x
Revolution seems stable, but sense 3.5 looks good.

Looks interesting, I'll give it a try. I find MIUI very smooth too, and the battery life is also great.

I dont think you even need to guess what ROM I use

I'm using this sense 3.5 candy.

Stock GB by Neophyte. And I'm through with constant flashing. I had enough of that nice big cup of bugs.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.

GingerVillain 3.3 (aosp), RT's 3.1 HAVS kernel, Go Launcher Ex.
Smooth, stable, no lags or fc's, good battery life, launcher is highly customizable. Keep trying Sense rom's (3.0 and 3.5) but always come back to this

Cyanogen 7.1 and I love it.

Insertcoin Sense 1.1.3..
...although I'm getting tempted by Sense 3.5 Roms.

I use Redux 2 . Clean, fast, stable.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

AOSP ROMs are the best for me (IMHO, sense roms are too overloaded) and there it's currently rootSU's dGB rom which is the best for me. Smooth (smoothest AOSP ever used), clean (uses only 60 MB of /system), stable and very nice battery life with ManU 1.4 (kernel)vipermod (for lowering CPU voltage) and setcpu (for controlling cpu frequencies).
But maybe I will test redux in the near future, because it was my first AOSP rom and I liked it very much. However, dGB hasn't given me any reason to this yet.

I'm using this one as well, currently version 3.6. Fast and stable, only minor bugs, looking forward to 4.0 w/ wifi fixed! Wish it had Google CarMode preinstalled though, can't get it running. And hope the bootlogo gets changed, that jingle is annoying.

Like the others suggested it all kind of depends on how you use your phone. I used mine as mp3 player and about 1hour of browsing a day. Only occasional calls a texts, but I found the latest oxygen gingerbread rom with launcher pro plus to be great.

Any Sense ROM
I get 36 hours using it normally on any Sense ROM (2.1, 3.0 or 3.5)

etc. ncessuch
I have dont have the most experience but of the roms I have tried, I found MokeeOS to have the best battery life - about 36 hours with texts, facebook & email checking and maps use.
I have used the following ROMs
1. stock sense
2. MIUI-AU
3.MIUI-XJ
4. MIUI Mararge
5. MokeeOS
6. Jellybean pre-alfa
I like MokeeOS the best but really like some of Jelly Beans features even though not everything works

Hmmm, in general Sense ROMs are the most battery-draining of all, especially the 3 and 3.5 ones (just imagine that the stock Desire came with just a version of Sense 1.0).
Rule of thumb is that the more "stripped" the ROM, the better the battery life will be. Therefore any AOSP ROM will generate maximum battery life.

It depends, but you can try any of the miui ROMs, or if you prefer sense ROMs you can try aurora.

A AOSP like oxygen or CM based rom should be fine.
For CM based kernels use ManU HAVS BFS Kernel or CronMod Kernel. Both are great oh battery!
For oxygen use Thalamus kernel or mod8 (which is the same thing with Smartass cpu governor).
