Hey everyone, would just like to hear everyones opinion on the best sense rom for battery life and smoothness? No Data2SD or data2whatever suggestions please as my sdcard is only a class 2.. A2SD+ would be nice tho! I have tried quite a few roms but would like to hear others opinions beforre I go to any more. I know it all comes down to personal preference but im just trying to find the best rom for battery life and smoothness, which shouldnt be as much of a preference thing.. Any responses will be much appreciated, thanks!

I'm sorry to tell you that no answer is going to help you at all.
All ROMs work well, the developers do a fantastic job, and the differences between ROMs depends more on what you are looking for or "what your desire likes more" than on the ROM itself. There are no slow or laggy builds (except the betas) so the best answer is: try - nandroid - try another until you find the one that works better for you.
By the way, I think you should look for stock Sense ROMs like InsertCoin or LeeDroid, not ports
And again a (senseless) best-rom thread....

One is Sense the other is a non-Sense rom. Both are just fine. Depends on your wishes. Anyway, this question should be posted in the question section, not here in development.
Think this should be moved to Desire General or Q&A.
Anyway, the decision in between DeFrost and Leedroid pretty much is sense or no sense, whilst some people like the look and feel of sense I prefer the clean look of AOSP Roms, like DeFrost. Apart from that AOSP Roms usually give way better battery life and use less data (personal experience).
So, if you like the look of HTC's sense, go for leedroid, if you don't like it or if you want better battery life and don't have an unlimited data plan, pick DeFrost.
Pretty much a matter of taste and needs.
Sorry for the noobish question... but i just got my G2 today and i want to flash a good, stable, Good battery life, no bugs Rom
Can you guys help me out and give me your top 5 choices?

Thanks ALot :-D
Hi everyone..
I too would be interested to hear which are the most popular ROM's
I have a Nokia N900, and it is time to move as I really need a couple of apps that Android have, but Maemo doesn't
So Im upgrading to my first ever Android phone (a desire z) and would like to hear what ROM's are considered good. Im guessing none of them are bad, but it would be interesting to hear which are the most popular. Im not ready to root and install a ROM yet, but I will spend the next few weeks getting to know the phone and read up understand the process and then off I go!
Haven't done this since the bad old days of WM 6.5, so am a bit rusty, though there were a couple of kernel swaps on the N900..
Looking forward to tinkering and learning a new OS, and hopefully getting to grips with the new kitchen as well, as that really looks interesting...
Thx in advance

1. CM7 for the obviously ground breaking reasons...
MoDaCo/Paul's Sense ROM
Either of the new MIUIs
Thanks ab0m
Off to google and read now..
Its really up to personal preference and what works for you. You're going to get a lot of CM7 responses now that it is at RC1 and beyond, and very stable.
Go read up on the Wiki in the dev forum, and try them out for yourself. See what you like the most. There are stock roms, Sense-based roms, MIUI, and many others.
CM7 should get the nod for being the best just because of what it is. That being said, I use GingerMex, which is a rom based on CM7 with custom animations, theme and some other tweaks and stuff. Beyond that, if you like Sense roms there are a slew of those as well, but I don't have much experience with those because I don't like the restrictive nature of the Sense launcher.
1. CM7
2. Virtuous (a close 2)
3. GingerMex
4. ModaCo Sense
5. MUIU
CM7 is clearly the fastest, stable, and efficient in terms of battery usage. Virtuous is the best Sense ROM and that team works hard to put out a good product. Not so easy on the battery efficiency, but it is now very stable, and any issues you incur are probably because of advanced kernel use. GingerMex is based on CM7, it just has the custom look to it, that I'm not too fond of (to each their own of course), but it is very stable and fast. MoDaCo is another Sense ROM that is basically stock without any of the bloatware. Kind of plain, to me. MUIU looks like an iPhone, if that's what you're into - I just personally didn't care for the look. I think one of the pluses of that ROM is that it's file size is really small, so it doesn't use up too much internal memory.

I would have to agree with this. I have stopped looking for other roms and just stick with CM now.

Any recommendations for a ROM ? there are so many out there dunno where to start I need good batterylife and CM7 based ROMs are a big NO NO...
Thanks in advanced
arhd 6.1.5
hi m8, using arhd 6.1.5 with no probs, battery life is a big ask as depends on what you are running during the day ie bluetooth, gps, wifi etc, as battery life is different for each user.

Thanks guys I will have a look at screen shots of both ROM's although battery life is a big issue for me so is stability and customization.
Try Galnet MIUI stable. They have an awesome performance and a great battery life (currently running at 1-4 mA in idle.)
If you don't like the iphone-ish UI, try another launcher like Launcher Pro.
I do what i want, because I can.
MIUI is based on CM7, iv'e played with a friends DHD who has CM7 installed its just too bland and stock... Sense is way superior IMO and the Sense camera is 100x better than the CM7 offering + iv'e seen screens of MIUI (looks like iOS lol) Definatly dont want that. BUT Thanks anyway dude.
Virtuous affinity is a fantastic Rom mate I was using the unity series but the guys that worked on this have excelled themselves ! So smooth lots of features its great! I love my phone all over again

I know that this isn't a ROM recommendation but iff you want good battery life checkout the accessories section of the forum and look at the evo 3d/sensation battery MOD
ATM I try the new SmartDroid Rom and I'm absolute happy with it. Battery life is great and it's very smooth.

Another useless post.....i remember answering Q's like this many times before as well. Why pppl do not use search?? (i hope a mod steps in here anyway )
There is no such thing called a perfect ROM. What suits my necessities best does not mean that it lives up to your expectation. The battery n stuffs like this are related to how one uses his/her phone, not on the ROM itself (well a little, maybe).
That being said, try one by one yrself n find out one that suits you based.
Too many threads like this. Its down to personal preference and these threads can start into flaming wars/ trolling. Thread closed.
Hey guys,
Just wondering what the state of custom roms are for the OneV.
Usually I just try a few out and get to know who the best devs are in the community are, and fiddle a lot, but this isn't for me.
I'm looking to help out someone with a stock one v where its terribly slow, freezing for long periods etc, and it seems to be that the Dalvik Cache is struggling with its tiny internal storage to work with.
So just wondering if anyone can give some suggestions as to which ROMs are the best for stability, speed, battery life, and fully working.
This person just needs to have their phone actually be usable as a phone is the main thing. My usual go to is official CM or a well known dev.
Preference to well made, clean, and well maintained roms, can be sense or AOSP, personally i prefer AOSP but am wary of driver, battery life and stability issues.
Seeing a lot of discontinued roms, and a lot of hacked together ports as well, so hence asking.
Cheers.

its a sense ROM
no problems whatsoever with it
best thing, everything worx
battery life is very close to stock which is superb
This is what i want to hear. Many thanks!
Whats the internal memory on this like after install, reasonable amount?
Anything else worth considering? It sounds like AOSP projects at the moment have a hiccup with the camera, which is unfortunate, so it seems sticking with sense is the way to go.

yea internal memory is good
the ROM has 131mb swap script enabled so your RAM has increased a 131mb more
really fluid experience
There was a really stable AOSP ROM slim Bean but the maker has removed it(its a shame)
Dont ask why coz ull start another war :laugh:
You can try pa2.99 by icebox. Everything works. No bugs. Battery life idc but its good

First, questions are supposed to go to the Q&A forum. Second, these types of threads are known to lead to colorful discussions, shall we say, between supporters of different ROMs. You will get different answers from everyone anyways as no one uses their phones in exactly the same way.
So that adds up to thread closed.
Thank you,

Hi, I`m just coming from an lg optimus 2X and would like to ask you to tell me which sense 4+ ROM do you prefer and why?
Also, which one has the best battery life(what ROM+kernel)?
Thank you all in advance.
I love to give my opinion, but these questions most likely leed to comparisons between roms and kernels. Try a couple (roms & kernels) and see for yourself which suits you the best.
Btw.....not my rule but xda rule so don't put me off by saying this. Its all in good terms.
I don't know of any better sense rom for my HOX than Sky Dragon. These guys are the best and make a great rom. :good::good:
