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.

I like the flinny cm10 nightly. he is still in development but its got a tone of promise!

What ROM do you use?

Post what ROM you are currently using and why
I'm running Synergy RLS1 w/ Warm theme on my Evo
I like it because it comes along with the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, and the developers community is HUGE.

I love sense but I've been rocking decks aosp rom for a while just because of full HDMI mirroring and battery life is great.

Cool! Yeah, battery life would definently be a factor, I barely push out 3 hours on what I'm using now.

CM 7 Nightlies.

I'm using the same rom loving the 3.0 lockscreen (synergy rom latest)
My Oreo Evo 4g G-bread

Currently running Synergy RLS1 but I am thinking of taking a look at MikG. I like the Sense 3.0 lock screen and the Sense apps. I have not tried out any AOSP on my Evo but my (deactivated) Hero runs CM7. I may have to check out Deck for the battery life.

I've been looking into MIUI, not quite sure though. I like how It's more simple, and seemingly cleaner. Yet I'm not a big fan of iOS, which it strongly resembles.

Decks Rom gingerbread-evo-deck 1.3b. This is really the only ROM I've had luck with! I've tried just about everyone else's ROMS and I like the Sense ROMS but after about 2 or 3 days or so I start getting FC's for no apparent reason for my phone process, then sense, then android system, etc...
So until I figure out why I am having so much issues with Sense I'll keep using Decks ROM!!

Deck 1.2.1 with Tiamat SBC kernel.
Light, fast, and great battery life.

CyanogenMod 7.1. Like the stripped down feel of it, and seems to run smoother than 7.0.3.
Still some bugs here and there, but it IS still in development.
Synergy's starting to work pretty well, though. Just hate the lag from Sense.

Decks ROM? Never heard of it, I'll be sure to check it out though I used Synergy for a few days and it worked wonders for me (love the animations in the Warm theme), hopefully no issues arise.

Since root I've flashed five or six different roms. I kinda like a little from all of them but I keep coming back to the stock I did a nandroid of. I think it runs smoother and faster than the other roms. But that is my opinion.

Froyo or gb?

I've been hearing about the gb camera issues a lil bit. I don't use mine all that much but what's the problem with the camera? Also, is there any benefits to flashing a froyo rom and not use gb?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Froyo ROMS are extremely stable, everything works and the battery life, with the right kernel can be fantastic.
I recommend Koni Elite III. It's in the Dev section

Can't take nothing away from Myn or Mik... top notch super devs, but i like a little eye candy on my phone, and those guy have the plainest, most stock looking Roms out there.
Koni ftw

Never tried Mik or Koni so I wouldn't know, but MIUI has me content until I feel it necessary to upgrade to galaxy S 2 unless there is something better I don't know about.

What's wrong with GB camera? My phone reboots every time I take a "detailed" picture.
Other than that, I prefer GB. It's pretty fast.

That was my experience with Synergy (non Godmode). That and terrible lag. I take 50-100 full-res pics/day on construction project and need a working camera.
Any suggestions for a GB rom that compares to Myn's 2.2? Stable and easy on the battery. I'm looking to start playing with this video chat thing and it seems that Froyo based ROMS are a non-starter.
I have an extra Evo I can flash to take 'em for a spin. Would love to give it a go..
Suggestions??

Tommy tomatoes 0.0.4 is beautifully reliable and battery is above average, specifically with freedom 0.9 aggressive kernel

Tommy is one of the best themers the Evo has ever seen. I'm sure his ROM is fabulous!

I lowered the ISO down to 200, and that seemed to fix my problem. But in any case, I've gotten the problems in Synergy as well as Mik (regardless of versions).
To be honest, I love Mik's rom's so much, I can deal with the camera issue for now. Battery life is amazing and performance is great. I use Lithid's kernel with Aggressive voltages and Interactive X govenor.
I'm waiting until Virus gets 4G implemented into his 3.5 Sense rom (in the changelog it says this might happen soon). I don't use 4G all the time, but I do like to have it "on demand" when I need and tether.

Best ROM?

I have been on a flashing marathon lately and would like to know what is the best ROM out right now? I would really prefer the best Sense 3.5 ROM but any will do. P.S. ICS ROM would be number 1 IF it had a working camera

for Sense 3.5, i like MikRunny 1.0.1.. non-Sense 3.5, SkyRaider Zeus 1.3. judging by all the praise these devs earned and their user's comments, imo, these are the cream of the crop and why i chose to use them. no comment on AOSP ROMs, i like my Sense like you do.

I'm also going through several trying to find what I'm the most happy with.
--I tried CM7.2. I wasn't thrilled with the performance and I missed Sense.
--I tried Energized but found too many bugs. I used it for a couple of days and the WiFi, clock, dock, and MMS had issues.
--I tried MikRunny but found it had serious lag. I don't think I ever installed any apps. I moved on to something else quickly.
--I've just installed Magnolia 2.1 Beta 4. The first thing I tried to do was OC to 1.21. It crashed. We will see what else happens.

RC Energized Blue is the best sense 3.5 rom imo. Ran SUPER smooth and battery was amazing.

I forgot about couple other things I didn't like about Energized. The battery only shows 20% blocks. That is too big for me. Also, it doesn't show the level when charging. It only shows it ad being completely dead.
Magnolia 2.1 Beta 4 is looking good so far. He says there is a new theme coming but I don't care about that.

I like mik Inc 2 HD RLS 1.1

Runny Droid ? why not?

Skyraider Zeus all the way. Haven't ran another ROM in about a month.

In that same forum there was a mod for 3G and a blue stock battery, which gave 1-100%, not the 20% blocks.
My favorite ROM would be MikRunny. Runs amazing, and even better with the V6 Supercharger.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219471
Best Rom for GSM... This's my felling...

I'm not big on Sense, but my favorite of the ones I've tried is SkyRaider Zeus. Ran very quickly and seemed to fare on the better side in regards to battery life.

What Rom should I use? (Please read its not what you thing)

IDK what ROM to use?
Cy mod 7- it has a sucky camera and it feels unstable at times
Stock ROM- it can't display all emails and is slow at times
Incredible 2 HD/3D- it is laggy and isn't smooth. I just don't like it in general.
MIUI- I DIDN'T BUY A DROID TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE AN IPHONE!!!!!!
I really like the stock Rom but why can't I read messages sent from my dear old aunt!!!! And stock has an amazing camera. Cy mod is almost perfect but I like sense and the camera sucks. Anything made be newroot is amazing but very laggy and too much animation. It always feels artificial. MIUI is an ios for android Rom. But if I wanted ios I would have bought an iPhone.
Can anyone help me decide?

Well, if you like cm7, but want a better camera, try the MIUI camera on cm7

Or liquid smooth 3.2, it's aosp with no problems for me, not sure bout the camera but like he said I hear good things bout the miui one, the one in liquid works good for me can't tell a difference between it and sense. If u do choose liquid and want to undervolt u will have to use aeros .7 bfs test build as the stock kernel let's u overclock with the built in application but not undervolt, and if you flash any other kernel other than the one I mentioned it will break sound

i'm either sounding like a broken record, or a fanboy, but SkyRaider Zeus has your request in spades. i share some of your points and tried a few ROMS out, about a week at a time before switching, currently settling on SRZ at the moment. the more i use it, the more hesitant i am to bother trying anything else. i can't find anything to complain about. perhaps in time my opinion will change, but it's doubtful. this ROM continues to amaze. it feels stock Sense, but has all the extras i have been looking for/using in the Market.
/fanboy

Miui is nothing like the iPhone. Have you tried it? Give it a week and sop hating lol. And how is cm 7 not stable.
PS miui with go launcher is the bomb.

I'm running Andybonestock.

Same dilemma here. Aerovan' s cm7 kang with his. 8 kernel is a beast , but the camera (especially indoor, low light) is subpar. Hd 2 is not quite as speedy but it has a great camera and very polished interface (although I hate the 3.5 dialer).
Really can't make up my mind.

The thing that everyone likes about MIUI the most is the ability to customize every little detail of your theme on the fly. The stock theme does look similar to iphone but it does not run like an iphone.
Try it out with different themes that people made and you'll see exactly why a lot of people like to run it.
Why don't you try a newer rom of newt's? Which version are you running on his Inc 2 HD/3D. You could always try mikrunny and if you don't like the animations, turn them off. Turn off the 3d features, it runs better that way anyway.

you really think that CM7 int stable?
Dude... its the best android experince ive ever had. aside from one time when the screen did not wake, its been solid up time for me for the first week running it... more than i can say about my x2.
fwiw, i tried core but did not like it. way too much graphical wizbang... it was slow compared to cm7

What issue did you have with cm7? I just built my own for my phone and didn't have any issues. I do use aeroevan's .7 kernal instead of stock cm7, but i've never had any issues.
I've run miui for the past 6 months with no issues, but i do use aeroevan's .7 bfs kernal. For Sense, I would run Virtuous or Zeus. I recommend using a different recovery too. I really recommend 4ext recovery. It blows cwm out of the water. 4ext has a beta touch recovery that works really well.

Sense: ZEUSSS!!!!
If you're feeling a little daring, ICS.

I have try everything but for some reason I keep finding myself back in miui there just nothing like it every sense rom looks the same to me no matter who made it miui has a million themes but if I was gonna run sense Mik runny is awesome

TSM Pool Party. I think I've tried nearly ever ROM, and it is a pure omfgb rom with TSM mods. I do like the polished roms but ill admit every sense 3.0 rom felt extremely heavy and idk why. virtuous I believe felt the heaviest. just too much, lagged a little. the amount of time I've spent on all the roms, would probably be newts HD, I believe rls 1.1 but of was very smooth. I then went to ICS 4.0.3 Christmas beta. everything was perfect on it, but obviously no camera. yet. I used to measure with cm7 but idk...not my thing anymore. just my input, sorry to rant. but yes I do like my TSM

I simply used Titanium Backup while running MIUI and backed up the camera app. Then I went into my daily driver (which is Liquid Smooth) and restored the backed up MIUI camera app (app only, no data), again using Titanium.
I was running Mikrunny for several weeks, if you're looking for Sense I think it's the best out there. But like another poster said upthread, Liquid Smooth really does live up to its name. Until we get an ICS ROM that's suitable as a daily, I'm sticking with Liquid Smooth.
