POLL: What is your favorite rom thus far

Just wondering what everyone else likes for a rom. Feel free to tell us your likes or dislikes with your current rom. With the choices we have available to us on this device, I'm sure some are wondering which rom is right for them.... this poll should give people some kind of direction.
EDIT: I must apologize. I must of been tired to miss putting viperROM on the poll list. Don't suppose there is a way to edit that poll is there?

I'm loving Starburst and glad I finally budged out of my curmudgeonly ways off of stock as I wait for CM. It's very full featured and allows tweaking without turning into a theme-fest. I was very surprised with it.
Though I am also preparing my phone to try out some other ROMs today....I'm a big fan of Calkulins work so I'm pretty eager to try that out.

Calkulin FTW
Although to be fair I haven't tried starburst yet. Didnt boot when I tried it but it was my first attempt at a custom ROM on this phone so I am sure I did something wrong

Liking Starburst quite a bit. My phone is fast and reliable, waiting for further advancements before trying something else.

I haven't tried anything besides stock and star burst.I was seriously going to open a thread like this because I'm convinced that caulkin's is probably better. But my phones set up o-soo perfect right now idk what to do. After j see screenies and some themes for caulkin anhd hear good things about battery and smoothness I'm going to hold tight

If you want stable I'd go for this AOSP mod

I cringe when I see other people having problems on other roms, ranging from battery life to stability issues. I'll only leave this for ICS.

No doubt caulkulins roms is the best
Much smoother and faster than starburst or viper

To be honest, and maybe this means I'm a ****, but when I read about people having all kinds of problems with a rom or a kernel or a mod or anything my first thought is automatically "they probably fncked something up."
A vast majority of the times this is, in fact, the problem. I'm on my 8th? 9th? Android device. I hack 'em up to pieces. I try to be a good boy and read everything thoroughly...but I don't. I skim for the important bits. If I screw something up it's usually pretty obvious, then I fix it, then it works. I have never actually had a ROM that has destroyed my battery life (I have with experimental kernels, but, to be expected), I have never lost 3G function, I have never gotten unfixable bootloops, I have never killed my wifi or 4G to where a full wipe and reflash didn't bring it back...never. For years now I have been hearing some wild problems from people and never actually experienced any of them for myself in a way that wasn't fixable, by myself.
I have gotten better battery life, faster internet, working youtube, faster wifi (the 'wifi n' mod on Evo4G), etc etc etc.
I don't know, I'm always skeptical of people claiming a rom or kernel are screwing things up when there are other people with no problems at all.
Alpha and Beta roms notwithstanding, lol

viper for some reason not on here..
but anyway, my vote is for viper. Need to try Calkulin more though

yeah.. where's viper? I think the rom is quiet good.. and nobody 's seems to complain much on his thread..

Why the f*ck isnt viperROM included in this poll?
*facepalm*

[Q] New guys to android couple of questions...maybe more

Hi...some questions about roms. There seems to be 3 main/best/popular roms for and E4GT. Starburst, Blazer and Calkulin...if I'm wrong tell me please.
1.) I have not found a way to really tell them apart especially as a new guy. What are the major differences.
2.) If I'm not gaming and simply am looking for best user experience speed which one is the best. I know quadrant tests don't really tell the whole story.
3.) I have CyanogenMod on my Touchpad and really like the customization on it like setting up what volume based on time. Does any one of these offer that option or additional options. I noticed that Blazer has CyanogenMod Libs I don't know what that is but that maybe what i'm looking for.
Thanks for the help.

Honestly the best thing to do us flash them and see what one you like the best. That is part of the joy of android.
I have tried both of phantoms ROMs and I like Blazers the best. Naerok one is awesome too.
Once we get cm on this phone we will see a lot more options in my opinion.
Hope that helps!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

To be honest, all the Roms are fast and none will show any lag because the device itself is that good. You will not be able to notice any one Rom opening an app quicker then another. They will all lay games just as equal.
Right now I am using Calk's rom but it doesn't mean one is better then the other. I also believe Viper is working on an updated Rom based on his twitter post yesterday.

I've had the Sprint HTC Hero with CyanogenMod on it for quite some time. Whenever people in the sprint store saw that I was rocking Gingerbread, they were like "How the heck did you get it?!" Ha.

Are there any ROMs that actually work

Are there any stable e4gt roms that are better than stock ek02 with everything working cuz battery life is a poor trade off for working features in my opinion. Example if wimax is not working or tether to get more battery life whats the point

..is this a serious question?
If so.. Just check out the devolpment section. Try out using calkulins ROM, his battery script works well.

I am also not sure how to approach this. There are only a few roms that don't support wimax.. I suggest calkulins. It's my go to rom. I've heard starburst is pretty good too.. But in the future, please try to read a bit. maybe look at the roms that have a lot of view and/or comments. The OP of each thread will tell you just about everything you need to know.

IMO, there is no more stable custom ROM right now then UnNamed. If I wasn't so flash happy, I would stay with that but I'm changing ROMs every 2-3 days now...
But anyway, yeah UnNamed is the best ROM as far as stability is concerned.
Oh and I got over a day of moderate use from it. Don't believe me though, try it out!

Have not tried unamed yet

+1 for Calkulin's roms. Good battery life, stable, so far I have not encountered any issues.

I've been extremely pleased with Calkulin's ROM. I have tried unnamed (which I also like) but I prefer the 5 icon dock and 5x5 app drawer and undervolt/underclock scripts in Calkulin's.

No, none of them actually work...stay on stock...

MJHawaii is right.. UnNamed is a hell of a rom especially with a few tweaks added in. I am quite sure you will not find anyone unhappy with it. Also like mentioned before there is a whole development section of great roms. Just make sure when you try them all you do not restore data and flash all of them cleanly and not on top of each other.
For battery life on this phone may I recommend 200-800 since your phone can clearly handle it...

no offence, but either dont flash and stay on stock or there is always the good ol flip phones!

All the ROMS that are built on TW source are complete - this excludes CM7 and MIUI which are AOSP. REALLY.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Got to agree with the previous poster that suggested you just stay on stock. I'd prefer not having to see posts/threads like this in the future....
For the record however, I've been happy with Calk's, Unnamed AND for quite a bit of time now (a whole month or so!) Blend is my current Daily and it is brilliant.
But you.... you stay on stock....

I've Tried Blazer and Calk's 2.8.1 IMO there are both amazing ROMS, and i would suggest giving them a try. I'm currently running calk's and i have not seen any issues after a couple days of heavy testing and use

blazer is my daily driver.
i have not tried a single rom that has just flat out been unstable or unusable though; i steer clear of early/experimental builds, bust most of the roms in the dev section for this phone are pretty complete and comprehensive.
this is my first android device and initially i had trouble just rooting the thing, but thanks to xda's dev section my first flash was a piece of cake and i've had no issues or major complaints in 3 months of jumping rom to rom.

Just an observation. But your avatar shows you have at&t, shouldn't you be in a different section? This forum is for the Samsung epic 4g touch. Maybe thats why the roms aren't working. Unless you just havent updated your profile. (Im guilty of that as well)

Most stable ROM for a month flasher?

Hey there I just got my girlfriend a galaxy S3 and would like to know what is the most stable ROM for daily driving? I'm using CleanROM for the note 2 and it's amazing. Was wondering if there is something as simple as CLEANROM?

Ya that really a loaded question and can get you a lot of fanboy answers. You best bet would be to show her some of the diffrent roms there are and the features they have. Then let her test drive it and see what she likes best. Thats what it alwasy boils down too. Not so much the best ROM but the best ROM for you as the user.

look around in the Android Development section if she's more into the stock S3 look and feel. some great options in there like i747z and CSROM

Definitely a matter of personal choice. Whether you go with my Intergalactic ROM, enewman17's, upndwn4par, or even more that I have not mentioned, chances are that you will receive a good quality experience on this phone. We all work together to make it better as a matter of fact. Take a look at each thread, flash a ROM, make a nandroid backup of your settings if you like it, try another, come back if you preferred the last one. We are fortunate to have many talented devs here who dedicate themselves to making this phone the best it can be. Good luck and regards.

I can't say "most" since I haven't tried them all, but these have been my favorites - simple, very stable, great battery life, de-bloated, no BS, just work great:
ICS - KyanROM
JB - Ultimatum S3

i like cyanogen mod but I am currently on Liquid Smooth RC2 4.2.2 rom and so far so good

What's the best ROM for the D710 in your opinion??

I would love to hear your opinions.
I use my D710 for a lot of things, gaming/movies/music/inet surfing..

All of them.....

I see now why these threads get closed.
There is no one best. Each have advantages/dis advantages. You just have to read threads completely..and follow all instructions. I find re reading each helps me to decide. I find with every different rom, I miss something that was in last I had.
Just test and try, plenty are here that can help you if problems occur.
