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.

Can't decide between roms

Im new here and wana put new rom on my desire but I can't decide between: devnull-test, cm7, oxygen or insertcoin
All I care about smoothness and stable and fast. Don't care for sense or non-sense

Just installed cm7 myself 45 mins ago and it's fast haven't played around to much but got 1230 on quadrant.

I tried many ROMs but finally settled with Gingervillan 1.5. Fastest and smoothest on my desire.

Just try different out. If you like Sense, you should use iNsertCoin or RCMix HD. If you like it smooth and very stable, you should try Oxygen or CM.
There isn't THE best Rom. Just use one for a few days.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Oxygen 2.0!! It is the fastest and cleanest ROM there is!

oxygen or gingervillian, oxygen 60MB, gingervillian 90MB

LeeDrOid's ROM's are very good. Quick, clean and stable.

I started with leedroid and settled on oxygen 2.0, great battery life, minimal and looks great.

how about MIUI roms,
im using one for 3-4 weeks, and it's amazing.
fast, stabe, nice UI

i suggest rcmix desensenized -.-
but cm7 is also my favorite
waiting for rc3

go for redux, trust me. iv tried them all.

Yep redux is amazing.. very quick and stable
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

starburst is da best super fast and smooth and every game av played on it so far smooth gangster 2 splinter cell etc

Redux - fastest, practically bug-free.
So, final answer is - you have to try different ROMs, that's the only way to find which one is the best for you.
Opinions are like butts - everybody's got one!

I've went whit MIUI, it has some really cool option.

Redux +1
It impressed me quite a lot.

[Q] LeeDroid 2.4.1 is stable?

Would anyone please give me the idea of its stability? I am trying to find a mod rom stable & can extend the battery life. Thank you

I'd sooner go with the 2.3d if I were you. I think that reading less than 10 last pages of the thread in question could give enough evidence to back up this statement of mine.

I find it works very well on my device, stable, smooth and fast, tried the GB builds and came back to 2.4.1. The battery life made me come back.

LeeDroid 2.4.1 is very stable, it's the better froyo sense rom, you should try Gingerbread Sense Rom like InsertCoin or RCMix S, both are very good

2.4.1 is very stable , clean and fast. I like "sence" , and this is the best rom out there .

Same here. The only thing i disagree with is battery. GB are equally good now. I think even a little bit better when actually using the ROM (when phone is awake).
BUT, LeeDroid 2.4.1 is rock solid. All GB roms are based on TEST leak, and devs are porting stuff from sense 2.1 and 3.0 to them, which does cause few bugs here and there. It'll get there once official update is released.
I love the way Lee stayed away from porting stuff and just concentrated on optimizing existing software, adding most usefull addons you can find on xda.
LeeDroid 2.4.1 gets my vote for now, it's just to good not to use it

If you do not want Gingerbread, it is the most stable Froyo ROM, but GB has some advantages like battery RAM Management. If you will use A2SD, you may try InsertCoin Sense2.1 with GB.

+1 vote for 2.4.1
stable and smooth

skip 2.4.1 and go to LeeDRoid 3.0.x, might as well make the most of upgrading your system, and start getting used to Gingerbread!

Actually, that wasn't very helpful I guess. My bad. I've used LeeDRoiD roms pretty much since i first rooted, and I'd say they are up there with the best software you could want on your phone. They are definitely stable and pretty good on battery use. I only used 2.4.1 for a few days before i went to 3.0.2, but it was fairly solid.

[Q]Which rom to choose?

Just got my hands on a desire HD, give me a link to a good rom with everything stable and a good battery life. Thanks in advance !
Cheers.

Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 with lords kernel.

yea but those are with stock CM kernel and not the lords one...

I personally like sense roms over cyanogen. They feel more smoother and faster than cyanogenmod.

I've been using Android Revolution HD and Virtuous.
They're really nice, and better than what I they would be like.
I'm waiting on the update on Virtuous that's going to happen the next couple of days, they're happening to port over Sense 3.5.

I would personally recommend Virtuous Unity 2.37. No bugs, fully functional, fast and it's good on the battery. I also use the recommended radio with matching RIL aswell.

I've tried RCMix Runny for a bit, I liked it alot but I don't like the boot animation that much.
I'll stick with Virtuous 2.39.0 for now ;D.

I would love to have a ROM which will be fast as CM and have Theming like Sense 3.5 with SRS/Dolby Audio .
OT - CM7.1 is nice.

boot animations are a personal thing at the moment I have beats animations with sound and now just waiting for red beats theme from OPB plus an update to 1.6 is comin tomorrow. why have few apps ported when you can have the whole experience of 3.5 sense

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.

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.
