is there anyone who has tried different custom roms and making reviews of them?
if not so i would like to try every rom for a week and tell the things that i like or dont like about it
of course then its my personal opinion but maybe some people like to have that

ive looked at the rom section abit, and with all the many different roms, i have no clue what to pick. My first time even considering this so i guess i wouldve thought theird be like 3-4 major roms that are popular, but cant really tell whos using what.
Any suggestions?
most of the time, it is like that. But there came many new roms the past few weeks. later on when the devices gets less populair there will be some favorites.
For know I suggest:

And then the HERO rom. Not the light & sexy. It's very fast en it's stable. Also, it looks nice
The general rule I follow is:
Try them all.
But I will start with the threads that have the most posts on. Those are likely to be the most popular ones. I will spend a day with each and then pick the one I liked best.
Generally it depends on what you want. Some ROMs come packed with useful apps and stuff. Some come with mountains of useless crap. Some come with nothing.
Depends how much time you have to play with them.
only problem with "trying them all" is im not familiar or totally comfortable with rom flashing, as i dont want to 'brick' my phone.
If you have HardSPL and are just flashing regular ROMs, it is nearly impossible to truly brick your device. I've flashed well over 50 times on my trusty Kaiser, and haven't ever bricked it. So don't worry about that, flash away.

Same here, re flashed so many times and never bricked!
Go and test them all!!
also depends what you're looking for in a different rom, speed? tf3d 2.5, a particular build of winmo? that will help you decide.

Ahm, no. General rule is: If your device is working and you need it to work, stay away from them all
All the ROMs here are result of hard work of pretty smart guys - some are working better than others and some are right from the beginning just thought to be 'experimental' ROMs. But I haven't seen a single one that works without any flaws.
I decided to play with ROMs on my older phones I don't use on a daily base anymore. My #1 phone stays as it is.

I usually agree, most roms have major issues.......... That said im on A.Z.T.O.R rom...... The only problem is a mms issue that easily fixed with adding a url in the settings........ i
not taking anything away from the others but this roms almost perfect... possibly perfect
I don't get it... Why are there so many ROMs? Shouldn't there just be a few based on certain core changes? Are most of the changes in the ROMs just based on the applications that are shipped with it?
I personally want a barebones install so I can install what I want and not have to worry about what other people like.
I'm just confused as to why there are so freaking many in the ROMs section. There should be a poll about which ROMs are the fastest that's constantly updating with their new releases.
Different ROMs focus on different things like performance, battery life, appearance and all kinds of other things there is nothing to complain about when you're offered a choice on these things
I'm not trying to complain, but it's a LOT to sift thru when you're new to the EVO. Why can't they all be combined into one super ROM (with great performance and battery life).
To provide choice.
And shouldn't they just make, like, a couple of different cars? One for highway, one for city, one for soccer practice . . . ?
Having options is why I like Android and Linux over, say, Apple. I like to play, I like to tweak, and I like freedom.
EDIT: I know it's a stretch, but I just love this:

You can always design your own... I am just happy for all the hard works these guys and gals put into this...Thanks

haha, you got me... I say sure!
Hi, i am very new at all of this, i have never even rooted a phone before. my question is which rom do i want... there are like 10-15 of them, i want one thats fast, i hear that touchwiz really slows everything down so i guess one that gets rid of that. everyone talks about the pure google experience, which one(s) would give me that. but also with features like the cool crt thing, and the the toggles in the notification bar (4g,wifi) there was one with alot of different ones...
then like 2 weeks ago, the infamous bubby got ics working but there werent any fixes because apparently he was banned... so i guess, cant really expect anything new to come from there... is anyone else going to continue it, or start over? is bubby's stable enough?
also, one last thing, please dont laugh, but if someone could just tell me how the procedure works, i can watch the how to videos but the order is my question, first you root (with "odin"), then you flash a rom?
thanks

there are probably a lot more than 10-15. there could also be ROMs in other places (sites) for your device. the rule is, that you have to check ROMs yourself. what someone else finds great may not run so smoothly on your hardware. you just have to try them yourself. there are different 'flavors' of ROMs, because the user experience is subjective. sticking with the 'flavor' metaphor, do you think a group of 1000 people could tell you what flavor of ice cream you would like 'best'? of course not, people like different things. the only thing you can do is try them out, and decide for yourself.
I'm not positive, but I think almost all of the ICS builds you'll find will likely be 'alpha' or 'beta', at best. Which means that they're not really stable enough for daily use yet. right now, ICS is more of a proof of concept and for devs who are working hard to get it ready to be ported to your phone. asking 'Are we there yet?', isn't going to make it arrive any faster.
and to your last question. that's about right. when you've rooted, then you can flash. read, read, read. then when you feel ready...flash away.
hope this helps. good luck!
thanks for your help... yeah, i guess ive just got to check them all out... maybe try a couple different ones..

that's the best route. also, you can check youtube by searching for the name of a ROM you're interested in. sometimes you'll find walkthru videos that can help you eliminate some of them without wasting the time and effort of flashing. or maybe you'll see the video and say 'THAT'S the rom I want!!!'
I'm looking to put a custom ROM on my phone and was wondering what ROM i should do or what the good ones where and why. Thanks for your time.
first there are threads already about this. second they have been closed for a reason. best rom threads usually create tension amongst users and devs. not to mention what may fill my needs may not be what you want. the best thing would be to look at them choose which ones look good to you as far as features. then flash them and try them out. goodluck

I love Macks Allstar 3.5 and Jelly Bomb 16.0
Make backups and try them all.

Try Minitab (N7100) port to sprint by ram9200. Thats all I have to say
I recommend using Mack's Plain Jane ROM.
Get in the habit of making nandroids and become a flashaholic. Eventually (maybe) you'll come across the rom that 'just fits'. then you'll be set. But until that time have fun and enjoy the adventure that is XDA. Try some stock, some custom TW, some AOSP, some ports from other devices. And remember that there are multiple variasion (i.e. different kernels) within each rom. So explore and have fun, then come back and tell us which the best rom is for you and why!
I'm a long time user of cyanogenmod, and looking for a rom to use on my note 3 til cyanogenmod is daily driverable. I did look at the roms list, but it can be hours or more to realize a given rom doesn't work for me. (I've spent days trying to convince myself I could survive on rooted stock til official cm was available, but it's just annoying me too much.)
I just don't have the time to spend flashing a bunch of roms, restoring backups, then poking around to see what does and doesn't work, then repeating the process. I mean, I *could* spend my whole weekend on it, but I'd rather not. So, I'm wondering about others's opinions/experiences.
So, what doesn't work on which roms? I understand some roms leave the stylus non-functional? Which roms have a really cool feature that not a lot of roms have? What rom did you try and couldn't get rid of fast enough, and why? What rom do you keep on your sd to flash in an emergency, when you need a rom you know will just work for you?
Thread closed, hate only create bad intentions here, this is the opposite of "best rom" which brings out the worst opinions and does nothing towards development.
