Favourite ROM

To try and help kerb the amount of topics posted with the Title "Whats the best ROM" I thought I'd try to create a poll so that people can post their favourites, and then hopefully people can check here rather than ask with a new topic.
If this has been done/is in the wrong section or shouldn't be posted then please, mod's feel free to close or delete this thread.

Ahh Poop!

If a mod could edit this poll to add the Stock ROM would be great !

Well no, we dont "Need" one, but lately I saw alot of topics about "Best ROM?"
With people asking, so I thought I'd be a better idea to have one where they can just look at the poll, and see that the "publics" favourite rather than asking.
I just thought it would be helpful to the XDA forums to keep down the repetitive topics created, but next time I shant bother.

It's only because these sort of threads end up as flame wars and get closed off

Well they can close it if they want to.
I was trying to help the mod's by trying to stop all of the topics titled:
"What is Best ROM?"
"Best Custom ROM?"
"Fastest Custom ROM?"
"Most popular Custom ROM?"
I've been made to feel a **** 3 times in as many days on this forum.
I thought there was a nice community here.
If they want to close this, and keep moderation of all the different topics created about this issue, then thats their choice.
As I said, next time I will not bother and will let them do it theirselves.

I see ur point man but I don't think anyone especially eddyos was going out of their way to purposely make u feel like a **** mate

I've been a MiUi user since I got a Desire a couple of years ago. On the OneX I've been using Dekky's RD-MiUi (recently switched to the Jellybean version) and its simply great every week.

Please Make a Poll about ROMS, and let people vote..

I am not a pro user of these forums, but I would like someone, especially the Mods to make a thread about most popular roms of DHD and let people vote.. It would give one an idea of what rom is trending and what is the most widely used.. Sure would help ignite the competition too ..
If any such thread already exists on this forum, please tell me...

You can do it yourself...and you might be the first one to do so (i havent searched to see if there is one out there already...)

It is not done do the fact we are all tired of hearing the same question over and over again what's the best rom what's a solid stable rom and they all get closed. Each rom works different for everyone. What's good to one is utter crap to another and your topic will only start a flaming war hence the reason why such threads are closed. Only you can tell what's good for you by trying a few out or reading comments on the devs threads. Hmm I think I hear zels footsteps.

Might be nice to centralize it though. No comments, just a pure poll. (Not sure if there's a way to do that.) It might cut down on the one-post immediately-closed "which is the best ROM" threads.

A poll with no comments may work.

Well there is something similar. Its not a poll.. but it gives a pretty decent breakdown on the roms currently available broken down into categories Jellybean, ICS, GB etc. It might help out?

Yeah, I know about that, but I see a lot of threads opened that basically ask "I'm new, what is the most popular/best/favorite ROM?" The index gives a good list of available ROMs, but it doesn't shed a lot of light on how many people use each one, which seems to be what newbies would like to know (to help them decide which to install). Maybe a poll would cut down on such threads. I've PMed a mod to see if such a poll would be well-received.

I completely disagree, bcoz u can't compare all the efforts of devs. Every single piece of their work is truly admirable. Whatever they have done is absolutely priceless.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD

I didn't mean that devs work isn't priceless, of course that is commendable!! And its not strict comparing either.. I just meant that one should have idea about new trending romS and also how many people are using which rom.... I know one rom may be excellent for someone and crap for another, have probably flashed more than 100 roms myself. I am just taking about the current trend of roms
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda app-developers app

I agree with a poll with no comments, just a simple poll with rom names allowing members to state what they are using, we don't need to know their reasons why.
One thing I don't always understand is people read threads, see what features the rom has but still want other people to tell them.... Just install it and have a look yourself! Most common case I've seen is in the Sabsa Prime thread as it's what I use, people ask for updates and then when one comes along, they ask people to try it out and report back if it's worth updating. Grrrrr!! It's your phone, you want the updates so try it out and see if it suits YOU. Simples.

I have PMed the mods (since they would need to lock comments) a couple times. No response yet.

The mods say that locking a thread while leaving the poll open is not possible.

I saw your PM yesterday and had been giving it some thought. It looks like my co-moderator has contacted you already and let you know that the system will lock the poll as part of closing thread. Even if it was possible to separate the two, I'd be inclined to close down polls like the one you suggest. While some of you might think a poll like this a good idea, it smells a bit too much like a popularity contest.
Some of you may already know that many moderators in other forums have a wholesale ban on "Best ROM" threads. This is because a lot of these threads tend to be a breeding ground for rivalries and disrespecting others' work that can degenerate into infighting and other nastiness. I don't want to be heavy-handed on this topic because I see some benefit to discussions that compare/contrast ROMs and kernels IF they are done objectively and with respect for others. The last part of this is the most important here.
You might have already seen comments that say, "there is no best, try it and see what you like" and that's true. We all have different needs and likes, so there can be no best, but some sharing of knowledge and experiences with various ROMs can be helpful to others. Again, all of this needs to be done objectively and with respect for others. There's already a thread in General with many opinions and nobody's been really causing any trouble there, so I suggest all of you continue those discussions there. Please... no "best" polls.
I'm sorry to threadjack this from the OP, but since the idea has been shot down, I welcome your thoughts on the matter. If you don't want to air it out publicly, my PM box is always open.

Thanks for explaining. I just thought that a more centralized and easy-to-read format would help newbies who are confused when they first see that (seemingly endless) list of ROM threads that is so appealing to those of us who've been around a little longer. But I respect your position and it makes sense. Also, without the comment-locked-forum option, I agree that these types of threads do tend to degenerate.

[Q] Best rom for long battery life?

Hey All,
I've got a question.
I need a good clean rom, with long battery life.
Right now I use VJ 4.2, and battery is draining rather quick.
It doesn't really matter which version of android it is, aslong as I can use the phone for atleast a full day (2 or more days would be better though) on a festival with moderate use, reguarly taking photo's, posting them to facebook, and using whatsapp.
Doesn't really have to do anything else.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

best battery = best ROM = against XDA rules = closed thread

I would bet my money on either oxyZM 2.3.2 or mild wild jg 8.0

Swearing? the word hell is not swearing imo. sorry if it offended you
I am not asking for a best rom, im for something that would give me a better battery life for a couple of days.
I know each rom is different etc and everyone works hard, but I don't have time to flash 20 roms on my phone and test the battery life on each and every one of those.
So why wouldnt I be allowed to ask a question about it? people have expierences with different roms.
And I've read the forums rules, so those are the rules I use, nothing in there about asking about this.
My join date has nothing to do with this tbh, I only occasionally come here. if they've posted those rules somewhere else and it went to page 23083 or something like that, I can't do anything about that ofcourse.
If there is such a rule, it should be in the rules in the sticky in my opinion.

Well, "best rom" is in the title, so ...
It is covered under Rule 2 in that it is generally perceived as disrespectful to the devs that work for free to share with us. Also, it has been known on frequent occasions to start "spirited discussions" shall we say among supporters of various devs/ROMs. Finally, the experiences others have with various ROMs is generally not directly applicable to your phone as there are small variations in the electronics, your geographical location, cell towers and more that will add up to large overall differences.
Thank you,

Just got my S3 and already rooted. Need afvice

Hi guys, so I just got an S3 i747 AT&T coming from iPhone 4s.
I already have it rooted and would like to load a room as close to stock as possible. I really liked the Moto X however, the camera was terrible... I would like to get that experience..
What's most important to me is battery life. I would like to get the most batteyr life possible. Can someone recommend a rom? I was thinking one of the Cyanogenmod ROMs. I thought that 10.2 version is the stable one but it seems that only 10.1 is stable? Would appreciate some advice.

This should be in the Q&A section.
New ROM suggestion threads tend to get closed very quickly around here by the moderators, as there have been entirely too many that often turn into "what's the best ROM, or just pit one ROM against another.
You should always look in the development section, as there are plenty of ROMs there that you might like. Also, every phone is different, so what might work great on one phone might not work the same on yours. You have plenty of Roms in the development section that you can try, so that you can determine whats the best ROM for you. Just read up on them before flashing and follow their directions, and you should be OK.

Android is definitely not iPhone. As far as best battery life refer to the advice given. Try various ROMs that look appealing to you until you find one that is acceptable on your terms.

Quantum ROM would be the best for your battery buddy.

Well, as previously stated, users are expected to do their own research and make their own determination as to what rom is best for them.
All the roms here are the best, try them all.

"WE DESERVE CUSTOM ROMS,WE DEMAND CUSTOM ROMS,GIVE US CUSTOM ROMS"
That certainly does not look like a joke, and secondly that's the exact opposite of polite and "normal". Maybe you should do something about your attide before coming and demanding something.
Jees, there must be some kind of time-out bench for people like you which prevents you from accessing the board for like 48 hours if you come up with such a stupid topic like this.

You might think it's a joke/funny way, but as for everyone else with capslock on you are shouting, so more like you are ordering people to make roms. I'm sure there would not be too many people on here that think it is a joke/funny.
The way you were doing it ".just wanted to ask is anyone is building some rom`s,and did that in funny way" you were not really asking.

samorgs ok,maybe its mine mistake..I didnt mean to order anything..Just to ask around did anyone hear anythin,cos i cant wait for first roms to showup..
on the end of msg i explain what i wanted to say in first place ``Sry for bad English..Just wanted to know is anyone have some info?``...

Go to google and search "the only rule of cyanogenmod"

ok i understand,but you must understand the owners of g3 are hungry for rom`s...Maybe my question came out clumsy but i dint want to offend anyone,just to see is there any rumors,and for developers to see that we are eager to try custom roms...

Mods please close this yet another useless thread..

You're thread is titled people demand roms. People have no right to demand free software. As the above comment states can we please have this ridiculous thread closed.

You want a ROM? Go learn how to do it yourself, if not... shut up and be patient.

The point is this thread is useless and needs to be deleted. The OP shouldn't have made a thread titled the way he did. And yes it may have been out of good intentions but obviously it is not perceived that way by everyone, save for you. Saying "WE DEMAND ROMS" in all caps does not seem sarcastic. Sarcasm cannot be conveyed through text and we all know it. Regardless of whether or not the OP was "polite" is aside the point. This thread is asking for an ETA on custom roms and that is against the rules, end of story.
