What do you think is best ROM for Blackstone ?
What use you ?
I guess that depends very much on what you're looking for. Until you decide what it is you want, nobody is EVER going to give you the right answer.
For me, the best ROM is the one my device came with..it's stable and works. I have never felt the need to flash a new one, esp since just about every ROM I've ever read about has a problem in one way or another (even if it is fixed the next day)
Actually, I have to say that I'm always disappointed by the number of ROMS that come out....it seems that there's new ones almost every day. I appreicate that these are released to allow people to test and report back, but surely they should be restricted to a handful of beta testers perhaps?
ok..back in my box now...apologies

The one that works best for you and best suits your individual needs.
if you dont want this thread closing i suggest you put a list of things you need require want and ask what meets your requirements. you have been warned!!!
Suggestion
Hi
May I respectfully suggest you have a trawl through the Blackstone Rom threads and see what you like and as mentioned above what best suits you. Most of the topics have a change log or features log and screenshots to help you make your mind up.
Then read the Wiki to gather all the info needed to actually start changing to the ROM you find is best for you.
Regards

I use Onkolog's and I'm very satisfied. In terms of speed it does not compare with the stock ROM, much faster. Very stable and quite Spartan, the way I like it. Hope this helps a bit more than most of the posts I've seen in this thread.
It depends on what you want.
Do you want a light, fast & probably stable ROM?
Or a heavy ROM with many programs on it?
Or between that?
I use dutty's 2.3 at the moment, but I don't use TF3D.
Take a look at what ROM's you want.
PS: the manila 3 is nice, so pick one with manila 3 and check out your new TF3D Look
In my case, after testing several realeased roms, I am using Dutty's 2.1. It is very satisfactory. I tried versions 2.2 and 2.3 but I don't particularly like the new start menu (I have a lot of programs installed and it doesn't suit my needs).
Try any of the versions (v2.xx) available at dutty's website. Any of them will amaze your relatives and friends.
I'm just surprised no MOD closed this thread!!
This is a common question with no answer as everyone is different so obviously everyones likes & dislikes will be different so no point asking which rom is better as what you may like, the next person won't!
Go into each rom thread, read up on them and flash whichever one appeals most to you. If you aren't happy, flash another!!
I've flashed countless rom's and I'm still searching for the perfect one!!

What, no deleting threads?
I asked a similar question to this about 2 months ago, having just bought a Blackstone, and got a short, sharp message about searching instead of trying to start a conversation and engage people. The thread got deleted a few minutes later.
Glad this didn't happen to you, good luck choosing a ROM. People on this forum are very helpful and talented, but can be incredibly rude at times.

I understand your comment, but if I can defend a few people on this site. Yes, some are rude and they generally get banned due to complaints....and rightly so. But others may have come across as rude but are infact actually good natured people who are just annoyed at getting asked the same questions day in.
As you said you asked the same question a few months ago and I can guarantee this same question has been asked dozens of other times. This is why we always ask people to read threads before posting new ones, and at the top of each forum included in the rules etc it also states this.
I try and be as helpful when I can and answer every query to the best of my knowledge, but I've also lost my cool once or twice.
My previous post in this thread is basically as much as anyone can offer on this subject.
Anyway, thats my two cents on the subject!!

Very well said. a) I too am surprised this didn't get closed. b) I agree, I don't think it's as much as people being rude but it gets annoying when the same questions are asked without using the search button.
and c) each ROM IS different. I've installed about a dozen different ROMs on my Blackstone and each one had their issues and/or benefits.
For the most part, I followed Dutty's ROMs but 2-3 weeks ago, I tried David's ROMs and though they're both great, I actually found an older ROM from David that I extremely liked when I disabled 3FTD. My phone is stable, extremely fast and has what I need in it.
It's very easy to get caught up "upgrading" ALL THE TIME. It seems that we all want the best and fastest ROM out there. Unfortunately, there isn't a perfect ROM out there that doesn't have some small issue and even if you found one with a minimal amount, you probably wouldn't like the amount (or lack of) programs in it.
I suggest you try several ROM's until you find a "style" that you like. After 3 years of upgrading ROM's (started back with a Razr) I can finally say I'm happy with the my current ROM and have no desire to upgrade.
So, start modding and good luck.

Sound advice by Mark. I personally have tried most roms available as well - currently using Dutty 2.4 quite happy with it, I found the new Dutty version release slighty slower then the 2.4.

Hello,the legal official rom . All cooked roms are full of bugs ...
1.56 stock rom
Hi guys,
Since a few days i have a Samsung H1, which runs on LiMo.
So far i didnt find a forum (except for vodafone's own forum) for this phone or its OS.
My previous phone was a Touch Diamond, and i found this forum very very useful. So thats why im asking this question here, because this is the biggest and best forum, as far as i know, when it comes to mobile phones.
Will there be any subforum for LiMo? or the Samsung H1? Because its Linux based, so that means many options/customizing right?
Thanks,
Ingmar
//edit
I found a LiMo forum: http://www.limo-os.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6
No Sorry, as the admins have stated in the past, this site is for HTC devices only.
dave
Ok thats a pitty... I noticed its almost all HTC over here, but since there is also a subforum for the SE Experia i kind of hoped for a subforum for the H1 aswell.
Thanks

The X1 is actually made by HTC, so it has a HTC bootloader, that can be patched for Hard SPL, SIM unlocks, Sec unlocks, etc.
There is one forum for a non HTC device (one of the smaller forums, I can't recall) that was added in error years ago, and it would be unfair to remove it now.
Dave
Hmm, why doesnt it surprise me
Ok, i hope i will find another forum someday.
Thanks anyway!
you could try howardforums or modaco
both of which have active samsung subforums.
Thanks for the tip!
Did you find any usefull information somewhere already?
Can't seem to find anything that could help in hacking the Samsung H1... would be a great device to have android on...
Nope, i didnt find much usefull info...
vodafone has the appstar competition: http://widget.developer.vodafone.com/appstar
But it seems like it will take time before we can do anything useful with the H1...
I wish i could put android on this phone, that would be GREAT :-D
I would love to help out in creating an android Rom for this phone
but I have NO clue in how to get access to the files on the phone... since it's linux, it just has to be possible to boot another linux distro (android ) once you get full root access to the device
For the people who are interested in this topic. I found a LiMo forum
http://www.limo-os.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6
Grtz
i was checking out that forum too.
Seems nothing till now
i got H1 as well .
If you get any new please tell me to check it out
many thanks

Hi, this is my first post at xda but i'm reading the forum for year now. I have an HTC Desire since June and i'm thinking to root it and try custom roms. Can anyone help me choose wich rom is best fro me? I want a stable rom, with HTC sense or not and good speed.
Well, congratulations on your first thread being posted incorrectly.
This is not a Development question and thus should not be posted in the Development forum.
Thread reported.
I didn't vote because there is not Pinky Desire (1.8) ROM
It is a Sense ROM I use and I am very happy with it
Check it out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741867
Actually, there is not a best ROM, each ROM has interesting features that the others have or don't have.
EDIT: Well, this thread may be posted in Desire general subforum.
I m very sorry, what can i do to move this thread to the correct section ? Also what's the correct section for something like this?

first of all let me apologise for the idiots above me, (Apart from the users who posted somthing useful ofcourse) they have nothing better to do than look through threads for people who have made mistakes, so they can be offensive, dont judge the community on thoes few retards
leedroid is one of the most popular roms in the desire section, although i prefer auroxtsence because of its eye candy, also pinky, alex v and dj droid are all excellent roms, they may be more but i have never tried them, your best bet would to try as many as you can, you will soon find a fave
Is there some sort of comparison table listing the differences between each custom ROM? So many to choose from, not sure which to use.

He he, I know what you mean. I did start to do one, but it quickly got too complicated. My advice is read post#1 of each rom thread to see what functionality is available and try to decide what the top 2 or 3 must-haves are for you, download a rom that meets that criteria and try it out!
And if you are anything like me, you will then try another, and another, and another, and then completely change your mind about those first must-haves (look at my sig to see some of the roms I've tried).
My two must-haves were the ability to play FLAC files, and Apps2SD. I still haven't found one that can do that but I have found a rom that I like a lot and have stuck with it for a while.
Just take the plunge and try em all.
Lol Androidspin has a comparison chart been around for ages .... plus my g1's Nand is nearly dead with the sheer amount of roms I flashed
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
im planning on adding another to the list soon...
Sense Rom : LeeDroid is the best FRANKLY. there is another very popular rom which is nothing more than over rated.
Non sense : use defrost or opendesire. almost the same
rest is ur choice
Best Rom is an individual choice after try all roms I have decided to stick with auraxtsense.its stable and fast.
BTW I believe this is a post in the general or qna section and not the developer forum

There is a threads somewhere from a few months ago on a similar subject. Someone found a google docs spreadsheet (in French, but easily understandable) that seemed to hit the info you are after. No idea of whether it is updated. In a rush at the mo, so will look for it later, but it is in these forums somewhere

Hi guys,
Just wondering if there's a general consensus on the most stable AOSP rom? Preferably one that doesn't have anything (major) broken - e.g I can live without voice search, I must have a fully working camera, etc. Also built to be stable as a rock. Are the AOSP roms vulnerable to the SDS?
Or are they not quite there yet?
For those of you not on AOSP, what stock-based roms do you like? I don't really understand the difference between stock and things like ARHD for example? How stable is it compared to stock, and what about battery life? My 4.1.1 battery was incredible but 4.1.2 isn't so good.
Cheers!

Android Revolution HD (14.0 for the Galaxy Note 2) is probably the closest you're going to come to what you want. It's based on the stock ROM, but lordy! is it fast. And rock solid. Has a built-in installer that allows you to remove (or not) the Samsung cruft. Been using it since version 9, and I am quite happy with it. Check the thread in the developer forum.

Hilarious! No seriously, thanks for taking the time to satirise the thread without taking note of some of the questions I'd asked.
I've searched long and hard about SDS and not getting anything at all concrete about the implications of using AOSP. We don't all have the £500 to throw around and just risk bricking our device because somebody is to pretentious to actually help out someone that has taken the time to look but still needs some guidance.

Hi mate, thanks for the response. ARHD was great on my desire HD when I used it almost 2 years ago on that, and it looks to be the best stock rom for my needs - I appreciate the first hand review though! Still trying to get my head around aosp roms, many of which without buglists and uncertainties regarding SDS :/

SDS Thread
What - is - the - best - ROM
The sad truth of SDS is that no one really knows (sure, there's a LOT of speculation) anything about it. I know 3 people with S3's who have had their phone die after they upgraded to the latest Sammy Official "patched for SDS" ROM. It's sadly a gamble we all take.
Anyway, if you're really done some research then I apologise. You didn't mention that at all in your original post, it looked like another "I'm too lazy to research this, bring it to me on a platter" thread.

Whilst the title is generic the inside of the thread was a bit more particular - with the SDS focus - and so given that nothing was out there I'm not really sure of the point of putting "honestly I've searched please don't kill me" because this is my 3rd device I've played with and used xda for and I know how petty a lot of forum members can be, it simply wouldn't make a difference.
The SDS thread is naturally where I started but has extremely limited info for aosp rom. The what is the best rom threads you posted are largely redundant given the lack of information or type of experience they're looking for is provided. Most are a waste of everyone's time and given how quickly development rakes place even if they were relevant they could still quickly be outdated.
Your tone in your first reply suggested that the answers were blindingly obvious and even a moron like me could find them with the most primitive of searches. Instead you've just admitted that no one really knows and it therefore was a valid question - a bit more thought before posting could go a long way.

The point of telling people you've done some research is so that they don't assume you're lazy. Sadly, most people ARE lazy. SDS focus? You mention it once, in passing.

Right, for your generic "Which is the best ROM" question. There's heaps of them out there already and none of them answer it because it's such a subjective question.

Hi all, I'm the OP for the Grand ROM Survey (TW and AOSP) for the N7100.
57 ROMs and 160 versions selectable.
I'm requesting your participation so that there is enough data to objectively answer the question "popular" and "best" as there is a scoring feature that allows ROMs to be ranked.
Please submit as many entries as you wish based on the ROMs and versions you've tried.
