Just rooted my One X international, and wondering if you could recommend me any ROMS! A screenshot and download link would also be appreciated, but just posting a name is help enough.
I will look at anything, i dont mind whatever you post, but i dont like HTC Sense that much, but its not the worst, i can deal with it.
PS: Not sure which is the right sub-forum to post this is in... so sorry
Popular roms are ARHD which has sense intact, JDR0ID which strips sense out, and Cyanogenmod 9 which is pretty much stock android with a few tweaks. Everyone likes something different, if I were you I'd just try a bunch out to find out what you like.
try PKMN rom or Leedroid..Best of the bunch really..cm9 for me i would wait a few more weeks till it gets fully stable and then i would flash that bad boy.
but anyway have a look in android development section and take your pick

Thanks
ARHD is good, but i'll try JDROID, seems to be simple/elegant and the reviews are good when it comes to battery saving...
Thanks, flashing it now
Unofficial CM9
Try the unofficial CyanogemMod from this forum.
Not yet finished, but already very stable and ready for daily use:

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.

Well, I've just bought a Desire and I don't know where to start with Roms!
First I've been meaning to try out MIUI for agesss! But its never been ported to a device I've had. (Arc + SGS 1).
What are some good roms to try?
Note: I don't like Sense.
Thanks, Ben.
Well there is pretty much only one miui, so try that if you want to.(they are nice but too iphone'ish for me )
Also as you don't want sense, there is the classic(cyanogenmod with plenty of mods) and then we have a more lightweight aosp rom called oxygen, which i prefer myself. Good luck.
I like my eye candy! I'm not a lightweight person! Cyanogen mod might be an option though... I guess the best way is to flash and find out!
I havent been flashing roms for too long myself but ive been through a fair share. Oxygen has defently treated me well. Fast, stable and leaves plenty of room for apps while still looking good. Its the one I kept going back to until I found sense 3 but i know its not for everyone

If that's the case, maybe go with another Sense ROM?
I've been using InsertCoin rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
That gives you Gingerbread and various Sense 3.0 goodies
There are also other Sense roms out there... I know of LeeDrOiD, but never used it myself.
Once you're rooted, it's easy to try roms out - flashed cyanogenmod over the weekend, got annoyed at a few things so reverted back to insertCoin
I know its kinda noob question but im really new to this scene (not to android) and had desire before so i really cant decide what custom rom to install. I need a close to stock custom maybe with some speed tweaks. Right now im leaning toward cm 10.0 and see a lot of other roms with similar options. Im asking here becouse besides the options the rom has for me its also important the stability and more to be from a trusted and active developer.
Just share your experience with the rom you use if u can i willl be thankfull just to get some orientation to the scene.
Do you also let people choose your favorite color or car manufacturer for you? Seriously, test drive some and see what works best for you?

wow what an answers. i simply asked and if u mind u simply dont have to answer. as for test drive not everyone has the time to play that much with flashing nor the will to try every rom out there. this place is for people to share experiences and like u smart as.s idiots to curse to everyone who whod dare to ask a noob question. if i didnt had respect for this place i wouldnt asked in Q.A and would of used development sections as many do. so if u have no intention helping someone just bugg of and mind your bussines
Well, according to your first post, CM is probably the rom for you; i still agree that you should test drive available roms. Some have more customisation options, others adopt a more debloated approach like aosp itself, and you can even build aosp by yourself!
I run a modified build of aosp put together by myself.

i guess ill start with cm thank you and ur right if its to bloated ill beter learn to build a custom AOSP i havent done it but read the guide it didnt seem to hard to do it i have a decent power pc i guess. thnxs for the input

Rasbean Jelly is an excellent ROM, close to stock. Check out the Trnity Kernel thread. Rasbean+ Trinity, ftw !
hi. I also came from desire and so far I love the Galaxy Nexus. There's a great variety of ROMs here. So far I have tried a few, but if you are looking for a fast, stable one I would recommend Atom. I am currently on v1.25 for the maguro & I'm expecting the next version with jellybean 4.2 to drop shortly. I'm also using the Zen series kernel v7. I'm having stunning performance and battery life. over 4 hours of screen-on time with the latest kernel. it's a bit different from the other cm / aosp / aokp ROMs around. worth a shot!
alternatively, if you like 'darkness' you can try xblack. if you want to have hybrid options I.e. tablet interface on your nexus you can always give paranoid android a go. they willprobably update to 4.2 intheirlatest build expected to drop tonight anytime.
ps: haters gonna hate! ignore the un-friendlies! we all got to start somewhere.

just tried them both rasbean and atom and i like atom more but rasbean not bad also. ill try few more till a stable custom 4.2 comes around. desire scene was good but contagious it was easy to get a flashing mania and i guess this scene is also dangerous to become flash maniac not that i mind to
Well I was a flashaholic on the desire, simply because we never quite really had a stable experience on ICS and JB. So, it was a never ending quest to find a ROM (or upgrade) that was really stable and useful. Not to mention the countless issues with regards to space/sdcard/partitioning/hboot and what not!!!
I am just glad to be on Galaxy Nexus. There are some insane number of ROMs available. I try to stick to one for a couple of weeks at least and only then switch. I am now near that phase where I am itching to try something new. So, I am keeping my fingers dropped that ATOM drops the latest version (4.2) for maguro ... I know the dev already released a toro version (few days ago).

Bugless beast is my suggestion for essentially stock... CNA is my preference for a ROM with many customizations, but I don't believe either have a 4.2 build yet (could be wrong). Currently using MMuzzy's 4.2 ROM for my toro gnex and very pleased.

Installed CM10 on my One X yesterday thanks to a help from this forum
I'm still new at this stuff [was the first ROM I installed :3], and since CM10 fails to deliver what I was expecting, I gotta change
I can barely get any signal, It's battery life is horrible, but the most terrible thing is that just randomly shuts down sometimes :|
Can anyone recommend a ROM that is fast, got a better battery life, run on JB and are stable enough?
I like CM10's look, which is one of the reason I took it, so if that ROM could have a similiar look I'd like that, though I don't deny Sense ROMs...
Btw, If you don't mind, I'll need a little bit of guidance regarding how to switch ROMs if you don't mind...
Thanks a lot for the helpers
... Just test them all. They work fine.
try .. Ice cream jelly (ICJ) it works very good
It's got to be maXimus for me! a truly great Rom, I highly recommend it!

If you like the pure Android feeling, i strongly recommend Cyanogenmod 10, the seandersn Edition.
Running on my One X for some time now, good battery performance, fluid like butter and up to know i didnt experience any bugs :good:
Link: CyanogenMOD 10 "SE" v2.1
If you're after the Sensi UI, then go for Blade. Really good battery life and performance!

Now after you have a list of possibilities, just start to try by yourself. I will close this one before the usual trouble between fangroups begins .
Hello all,
Basically I've been running the same ROM as my daily for 2 months (Frosty Jellybean 11.5) and I'm kinda bored of it. Plus I've been getting this bug where my lock screen messes up and I have to reboot my phone. I'm in the market for a new ROM and there's a lot to choose from so it's a bit overwhelming. I want something that's fairly small, fast, and close to stock. I don't need a lot of crazy features as long as I can underclock my CPU, and the Rom is customizable. I like to change it up every once in a while.
I was looking at Synergy. But the Rom seems big at 900 something MBs. The reviews make it look fast. And their thread says a lots of good things about it (Don't they all). It seems good, but may lack the customization features I want. This was almost the first ROM I went with from the beginning, but I failed to flash it after tons of download attempts and even restoring the phone to stock and trying to flash. If anyone can tell me whether or not this is working now that would be awesome. Also, does Morphology work with this ROM?
MIUI is also a good contender. I know it has amazing customization options. But can anyone give me information regarding performance and stability?
I will hear out recommendations for any other ROM's as well. I know these are all probably stupid questions and it's mostly a matter of preference, but I wanted a more informed opinion than mine. All these ROM's look amazing at a glance.
Thanks you for your patience,
Alex
if you're going for MIUI, wait for MIUI v5 to come out, hope it comes soon.
If you're looking for small with a lot of options I'm thinking that AOSP/AOKP are good options. I enjoy Liquid, Carbon, and Rootbox. They are all the same feel with minor differences. The big change that is causing a hiccup is the 3.4.X kernels that are being included. If you're looking for real stability I think the older version is what you're looking for. If you're thinking TW still, then you'll need to expect a large file size since many include the AROMA installer and whichever add-ons they choose to include. My TW recommendation would be Wicked because of the options, speed, and stability. MIUI is great for customizations, like you said, but I seem to always run into some bugs that can be irritating. Not the most "stable" but plenty of fun and worth the bugs that come with it.
I say give one of the AOSP/AOKP Roms a shot, and when the newest port of MIUI comes this way you can see how that is.
Thank you guys for the replies.
Does anyone have comments on the synergy ROM? I have a few questions about it. Is it compatible with Morphology? Could anybody get it to install correctly on their T-Mobile S3? Is it buggy?
I was also looking at ParanoidAndroid and JellyBam. I've read good things about them, but nothing really sticks out when I take a look at their threads. Could someone with experience using these ROMS chime in?
