Best overall ROM for Droid Inc.?

So I finally got my wipe to upgrade from her dumbphone to a smartphone (Droid Inc.) and I'm looking into what are the best ROMS available *if* she lets me hack her phone.
I'm new to this arena since I have a Droid X so I want to know from people's experiences what is the best ROM for the DInc? From doing a quick look through it seems like CyanogenMod 6, SkyRaider Sense or Redemptive rEVOlution might be possible candidates.
I know the CyanogenMod ROM is one of the big ones but I'd like to keep the Sense UI on her phone to make it as easy as possible to use for her (and I do like HTC's overlay.)
So any thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

Try out redemptive revolution 1.9. Good battery life and very stable.

I use SkyRaider 3.3.2 with LauncherPro Plus and GOTO as a lock screen and have no problems. I too love HTC Sense, just decided to play with LPP.

Heads up: There's a "General" Incredible subforum for these sorts of posts.

*make sure you know what version of the dinc she has, amoled or slcd,some roms and recovery won't work without fixes* that said redemption rom is currently my fave, otherwise virtuous rom. theres also red raven and feather but wouldn't recommend those for your wife. I believe theres a rom that sum1 made with a pink theme somewheres also but don't quote me on that. if you do any of these look for the new leaked stock kernel, has a lot better battery life and charges in half the time.

I love Cyanogen, if you're looking for Vanilla ROM this is a great choice. I'm using CM6.0.2 right now and I love it. CM6.1 RC1 should be dropping very soon, it's not 100% stable but Cyanogen himself it could be used as your daily driver

if she likes sense.. try one of the new sense roms from IncDoes, the Desire HD port or the Desire Z port

I'd stay away from the Desire HD and Z ports until the camera issues are resolved.
I'm using redemptive revolution 1.9 and loving it right now. It just got updated with new framework so its the latest and greatest in my book!

I love the Desire Z port from IncredibleDoes but some people need the camera or would like to have the cam, if that's the case try SkyRaider 3.3.2 its the best one out there for me.

Uncommon Sense
I will stick with Uncommon Sense Rom, its the most Stable free bug HTC Incredible Rom, the feels is likely Sense OEM manufacturer, I did not find any lack at all with the exception of APk Drawer little lag scrolling up. as well is the best of the two world android/Sense blended.
All the rest of the HTC Incredible Rom have several problems that have to be address and for sure Updates will be available to Roms like Sky raider and Virtuous.

Most ROMs are good, but also aren't 100% done. To be honest, if you wife uses her phone a lot and isn't a tinkerer just keep it the way it is lol.

Once camera issues are resolved the desire ports will pretty much be in a league better than any of the custom roms based on earlier sense. I would also strongly recommend miui except that many of the really useful sense widgets have no equivalent ones in aosp roms. I would recommend aosp roms only for people who are ok with constantly tinkering with their phones, not for your wife who will probably want.something that just works.
Until then redemptive, virtuous, skyraider are good choices.

I have tried a bunch of Roms and all of them have their strong points. This is all a matter of personal preference.
That being said, I would recommend Virtuous with the custom kernel or new stock kernel and here are the reasons:
1. It is very stable and fast.
2. Good battery life.
3. Nothing is removed or modded that cannot be readded or turned back on using the tools the developer provided (Virtuous Buddy).
4. Great dev support.
This is not the only Rom I use, but it is definitely the only Rom I would put on my wifes phone.

Thread moved to Q&A.

I would say virtuous or the newest leaked deoxed stock ROM... both using the newest stock kernel.
Only roms I would consider for the girlfriend....
Personally I would just do a few mods to the newest stock ROM minus the bloat.

I switch between Redemption and Redemptive Revolution.
I like Redemption with Kings BFS #5 kernel the best, amazing battery life! It just "feels" good to me.

Wow nice! Thanks for all the recommendations! I don't think I've heard of Virtuous so I'll check that one out.
Also to commenton the tinkering part, she definitely isn't into tinkering...in fact she complains when I tinker with my phone for too long LOL
Going ASOP isn't really an option since the base Android UI is lacking without some extra apps so the Sense UI is perfect for her. I do plan on (obviously) rooting the phone and setting up SetCPU but any additional improvements custom ROMS make are always nice to have.

Agreed. Even though there aren't many other Sense based ROMs, Virtuous has a great team of developers that have been working hard on it. I get great speed and awesome battery life using the "standard" kernel.
Just try them all and see what works best for you.

id have to agree to. probably the easiest to flash to cuz you can download using rom manager. pretty good rom but id personally stick with stock gingerbread

G2 speed question

I am looking for some advice on a rom. I wanted a few opinions on what my best bet was for a bare bones, blazing fast rom. Feel free to include kernel choice, benchmarks and or setup. the search function really didn't give a clear answer and I just figured a few user opinions would help. Thanks.

I think that this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246682 might be one of the ROMs with the least amount of bloat ware, it's pretty dam fast, and it's got great battery life and very good instructions on how to set it up

Bare bones fast? Virtuous G-lite. Why? Because im a huge fan of virtuous! Simple clean and fast.

yes try virtuous g-lite if sense interface is not necessary for you, if is necessary try virtuous sense and is better than stock

Virtuous G-lite and Elite Mod are ESSENTIALLY the same thing but Elite Mod has a few more tweaks to it and has a different kernel and such. I'd say try both and see which one suits you. I have tried them both and for a fast non-sense ROM they were both pretty much equal.

CM7 has been fairly quick for me...
And it doesn't throw away everything you might need.

Elitemod is cm7(aosp) and glite is htc's version of aosp. Personally, i think glite is better

True but I meant in the way that they are both very clean free of bloat ware fast stable and battery efficient. It really comes down to which looks/feels nicer to you

Which is the best rom for HTC Desire?

Which custom rom is stable?
(any recommendation)

Fail.
Am I blind, is my Tapatalk broken, or did he open two same threads whose meaning is beyond any rational level of stupidity?

YATARR
yet another thread about rom recommendation

lol, theres loads

personally, i'd say the one i'm running with launcher7- see sig.
well imagine EVERYBODY could cut & paste this reply. what is your favorite colour? i like red but it's not blue enough for some. better just try a few & see what takes yr fancy

The most stable imo is GingerVillian, it's a stock Gingerbread ROM with latest Google Market.

Runnymede AIO all the way for me, it is a brilliant rom.

Lol, I don't know who's moar funny here, trolls or those who spoon feed morons again, and again and again out of some false courtesy and thinking they are helpful....

If you want an AOSP rom try CyanogenMod 7, it's fast and stable. If you're searching for a Sense rom I think Runnymede AIO is the best at the moment

I wanted to know what are the best roms too but then i realized that i would have to try it out.
It really depends on you, do you want Sense or stock design, usability or speed...
I can really recommend you Redux or Oxygen, both are fast and both have propably everything what you need.
But it is my taste, i don't really like sense roms for example...

imo the best is not created yet
at the moment i have CoolSense 3.0 Aces v6 Bravo (it is so fast and stable), before i had LeeDroid 2.5 (stable, but no so fast, good battery life) and good factory stock rom

It's a hard question
I've tried cyano but i want lo have sense so i put InsertCoin.
Then i tried gingerbread with Aurora and now I have runnymede.
The last two is very good rom.I prefer the first because it's more easy but if u want a complete rom, use runnymede.

Oxygen is the most stable custom rom on desire imo. Its essentially hack free with a great kernel.

The best stable rom for the desire = cm7 . In my opinion
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app

i stick to the official..way better than anything else!

I used to enjoy the stock roms, but found that sense was terrible. I, personally, would go for the latest Oxygen release for stability. I'm currently using Sandvold's ICS rom and enjoying it, but it isn't without it's bugs currently.

This is a question and therefore goes in the Q&A section. Please think twice before posting a question in the Android Development section.
To answer your original question, RemPuzzle is best when overclocked to about 672. It's smooth and fluid. And majority of people know what Sense looks like, but not AOSP. It will have a learning curve attached if you go for AOSP ROMs. CM9 is also unstable and not suitable for daily use if you're not a dev. I use it for my daily driver but the camera, video playback etc. doesn't work.

You could take a look at my reviews thread.

I recommend you CM7 cause it has many cool features and animations and is the most popular one on the web. And I also is very stable. I won't recommend you CM9 cause its under development, Many things aren't supported yet.

Rempuzzle is the best. Overclocked to 691Mhz keeps it very quick, wait for the 2.70 update to get a sense 4.0 look

She is very glad with using RemPuzzle. I check RemPuzzles topic every day for news ^^ But this rom has lags sometimes. Is a method for this? I want to make her happy with using Wildfire. I know wildfire isnt a good phone but maby there are tips or apps to make phone smoother and faster? Thanks

Except overclocking or tweaking some thing on the rom, don't really know any more things to do to make it faster or snappier.. maybe someone else knows tho.

I found kwbr Wildfire 4.0 as fastest and stable. In other sense ROMs had lags. This one fits me best. Added new kernel, overclock and it's best by now
