Need advice/input please. - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to decide between double shot and cm7 nightly. I had unity for a while but it seemed laggy and my wifi stopped working. Can y'all just give me your opinions and pros/cons for each? Thanks!

They are very different ROMs. The Doubleshot ROM is based on HTC Sense, and then customized even more. CM7 on the other hand is based on AOSP with many nice improvements. They're pretty much on opposite ends of the spectrum.
As with any ROM comparison thread, you're definitely going to find people who like/love each one. Try both, make nandroid backups of each and switch back and forth. Only you can decide which ROM is best for your use cases.
I personally use CM7 and haven't found any other ROM that works as well for me.

I would suggest the ROM sticky. Having used almost all the ROMs I prefer Caulkin's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205
From what I've read, 4g does not work with some ROMs (I'm looking at trying out Cyanogen). If my keys are backed up, will my 4g still work when I flash to my previous ROM or a new ROM that supports 4g?
I rooted using Xhausx's autoroot 2.2.
Thank you!

4G doesn't work on AOSP roms [like cyanogen] Though there is a rom with CM7 with WiMax based off of build 24 [can be found in development section], and offers 4G. Also, you can use an AOSP rom and flash back to a sense rom and still have 4G.
Try Fresh3.5...very stable.
definetally caulkins. the very best there is.
plutonium! give it a try
Calks, burnt droid and liquid port based off bigrushdog
I enjoyed Vael's a lot, but on Mik's currently.

best rom opinion

This is super subjective but im curious to see what the majority is....
right now im on virtuous 1.0.2 with the oc to 15xx.... but the last while my phone has been laggy as all can be, lots of programs such as sms and email etc is always freezing and crashing....
so since im switching up to sgs2 in a few days, wondering what ppl think is the best overall rom for our phones....
plan on giving this to my wife, so i want something with the least amount of bs, and great speed, fluid feeling, with good battery
Thanks all
Man there are couple of these already...

If by "couple" you mean "100,000" then yes.
OP, if you want a basic, stable ROM (aka not sense) you can check out an AOSP ROM like stock Gingerbread (I've used the one from Xboarder) or CM7.

[Q] ROM Suggestions

My girlfriend's Incredible is still running 2.2, rooted, and has mms issues (as in they don't work). I'm looking for a good stable ROM, sense based, and fast. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Redemption is a good one. Looks like stock with just a few changes to make it more appealing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768626
Incredible HD
Are you looking to upgrade to 2.3 or stick with 2.2?
If you want to stick with 2.2, my vote is for SkyRaider 4.3 on the Team Bamf site. It is my all-time favorite. I don't use it anymore simply because it is still 2.2.
I've got no advice on sense 2.3, as I use AOSP now.
I gotta have me some notification toggles (which SkyRaider has)....
+1
Skyraider is an excellently built ROM and is extremely stable.
First rom I ever used
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestions guys, much appreciated. Weekend project time now! I don't know which one I'm going with yet, but I might just flash a 2.2 rom one day and a 2.3 the next and see which one she likes more.

I know this is kind of a late response but, I'd suggest checking out Gingerbread-Inc-Deck. It is very stable and very smooth. Or, there's Bugless Beast. It is fairly stable but really fast! More of a stock ROM...

Never too late, thanks! I'm really not up to speed on sense based roms as I've been a CM convert since my original droid, so any advice is awesome.

i just installed the stock+ rom... so far so good.
i like the stock phone but wanted to fix things like ext4 to fix the low memory issues which lead me to needing non-stock kernel. stock+ rom / kernel got installed this morning and so far so good!
Did you try the messaging icon under all apps? Sometimes I have to remove the messaging icon on the main screen and drag the all-apps one back to the front screen. Then all is fine again...not sure why???
I've personally tried a few Sense 3.5 ROMs and the upgrades to the interface are really slick. I'd definitely recommend giving a couple of them a shot.
Try Nils Business Gingersense 3.5 or Prime XL 3D to get a feel for it.
Cyanogenmod 7 with the new Incredikernel is my favorite, if she do without the 720p recording give that a try.

That's my personal setup, along with ext4 / unlimited data mod, and I love it. My girlfriend really likes sense though, so we'll see what happens. Flashing for hers got delayed as the ext4 mod called my name.

Meh... I prefer to run Rachel Rom :laugh:

just got a mt3g

Hello all. I was wondering which rom do people feel is the best. in the sense of stability and performance? I am going to get this phone for 50 bux from a guy i know because i broke my galaxy s 4g. I have been looking at the roms in the dev section but can't decide which one to go with. Any help would be appreciated.
I highly recommend the XM-8 Stripped version and its very reliable. Been using it for a while now.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using xda premium
If you like sense, I recommend HaXspresso 2.2.1 It's froyo but it just works.
Otherwise yep, XM8 is the one to go with.
Ditto on the thumbs-up for HaXspresso. It may just be froyo, but everything works and battery life isn't too bad.
I use a custom MTD partition to make more room for apps.
Sent from my MT4G w/ CM7
I've had good luck with CyanogenMod 7. Awesome battery life, and everything seems to work well. No lag, reboots, force closes.
I agree. Cm7 is the best way to go. I have it on 2 slides and my SGH-T989. Its pretty good and is feature packed
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I've had good lock with CM 7. However, I forgot which nightly is the best one to install. The last RC and nightly have wifi issues. I don't remember which is the most stable one.

[Q] Help my wife...

I go through ROMs left and right...she wants the most stable ROM with ALL the features of the phone working...Bluetooth, 4G, the works. Can you guys point me to a ROM that would satisfy her hunger for perfection with a rooted Evo?? Help a guy out here!
stock
The MikG rom would probably be your best bet for everything to work like stock.
It's based on stock, but with some tweaks to make it better and more efficient.

Fresh ROM works well .

Man I would go with decks 1.3 or 1.3d try and see which one works better on her phone, make sure you set it up for her, and I would add launcher pro to it, set widgets and shortcuts, and theme. My wife loved it, no problems at all, you could also flash the data governor killer zip, so her 3g is always at top speed

Without a doubt digital karma v5 great speed, no bugs, and amazing battery. Hope that helps.

I would say Tommy's classic v0.0.5 final untilled the new final comes out. Its very quick and stable. Its the only sense rom that has kept my from going back to aosp.
i say go with cm7 or shooter rls 5.5 both are great roms but cm7 will give her a bit more battery life.
So what we're Reeeeally trying to say is, They're all great roms. You'll just have to try them until you find the one that suits you...(meanwhile, behind the facade of an innocent sounding phone hacker,drlzanej is underhandedly trying to create another "Flashoholic". dun,,,,dun dundun, duuun)
ODJ DUB HD BLISS! I love this rom and everything works. Also has a blue theme etc.! Just make sure and partition the sd card as directed.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584137 ,dont listen to these guys,this is the best rom for your ole lady,trust me.
I would recommend
Fresh
SOSX
Classic
MikG
Synergy
Shooter
Derp3D
The first three are sense 1.0 tweaked to the max
The second two are sense 2.1 with 3.0 widgets
The last two are 3D ports. Sense 3.0
All are fully functional and well built. All depends on what she likes.

i was just looking for the name of the rom to let him know i got it fot my girlfreind and she loves it you got down on that one diablo keep up the good work. Pink Pussycat is the best fot the wife trust me shell like it
I'm defiantly a flashaholic. That's the biggest problem. There are many ROM's out there that I've tried. I prefer a sense 3.5 ROM but it lacks 4G among other things. I put her on the MikG ROM and it seems to be running fine. I had a stock OTA on there but the phone kept getting FC's however; I recently found that she's been in Titanium Backup removing files that she has no idea interact with the OS. Silly wife, tweaks are for peeps!
Don't know if this is solved it not...but If you want sense I recommend Tommy tomatoes classic, for soso it's decks all the way...find one that works with a2sd and your set
Rock and roll ain't never gonna die...
