Assuming by lightest you mean least bloat? Then step forward cyanogenmod granted it doesn't include google apps (because of licensing issues) as standard but latest download of cm7 weighs in at 80mb

Yes, CyanogenMod 6 or 7 is the lightest ROM. I will recommend you to try CM7 its working smooth and fast.

If you want a light rom, go to the desire section and ask AdamG to make a DHD version of oxygen, that rom was so light it was like 40-50mb lol

The Cyanogen 7 of phunkycow includes the Google Apps and it is based on the newest Android 2.3.
I also think that the Cyanogen Roms are the lightest one because they have around 80-90mb and the sense Roms have around 250-280mb

thank you for the reply, will consult with the person that u mention for further more.. salute!!!

Fast Stable Rom suggestions?

Hello,
I am searching a ROM which should be FAST and with a INT2SD support. (or similar) I was using Runnymede before and now I am using the VJ CM10.1. I started to get tired of the low performance and the various bugs.. (I am not complaining of course the VJ did amazing work who brough 4.2.2 in our mobile but when spontaneous reboots happened in the worst occasions you are searching for something more stable )
So, which one you suggest? What about MIUI XJ ?
PS: xda-moderators, why you dont create a sticky thready which has a Poll about the rom that the users are using?
Thanks,
c.

Milwilds redux ROM.

I can recommend MIUI XJ too.

They did try, but they're just not that useful...
1) requires people to actually bother to vote
2) way too many roms to even put on the poll, and do you break each rom down by version number??
3) the poll wouldn't update when people switch roms, and people wouldn't bother to change their vote
4) people that do vote might be people that just say "IT'S THE BEST ROM EVA!!!!" without any justification, also you don't know how many rom's they've tried to arrive at this 'conclusion'
5) people's rom requirements are different, only you know what your exact requirements are . If you try a few roms and find the one that's best for you, then that's progress. Nothing wrong with people giving recommendations here and there, but you can quite easily then pick a rom which is best for them (which is kind of what the poll does)

Any AOSP CM7 based, Oxygen, MildWild's, dGB etc.

problem is in your phone, not VJ rom.
we can't recommend, you need test them all byself.

Which ROM do you recommend?

I'm thinking about changeing ROM in my Desire, Right now I'm using MildWild 5 (from here) but it's missing few small things I need.
Which of GB ROMs do you recommend? Why GB? Because I would like to have Camera fully working (only one 4.0 ROM has it running, but that ROM is only in English and Chinese).
Looking for something stable, this is the most important for me, someting that doesn't have problems with battery and of course has camera fully working. Also it need to have more then just english and chinese language
Would be nice if it was something based on Sense ROM's with few adjustments. Have tried already LeeDroid and I'm thinking about using it once again, but wanted to know if there is something else worth to try.
Thank you

Best Rom so far (AOSP)

PS: to have a sense feel, use supernova rom

there is cool ex sense ics themed rom or you could try mildwild for a stock ,dont go for any sense rom base on 3.5 or higher found they lag like hell
any rom based on sense 3.0 and below works well .

If u want stable , u should go to stock rom

Mildwild is still my favourite since its fast and stable.
I tried ChromiumRom for its look but found it to be a little laggy for my daily usage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205516
MIUI-XJ was my first rom and really liked for its ability to switch up themes easily in 2.3.7 and its "iPhone-esque" feel but soon realised it was a bit heavy on resources and thus battery suffered.
Desire is getting old now so i would say go for the latest 'stable and fast' blend of ROM.

Presumably you are needing video camera to work fully, not just the still camera?

CarbonRom KitKat 4.4.3 and AOSB KitKat 4.4.4 - these are my favorites.

4.4.4 Beanstalk RC6
It's faster than GB!

Do you want stability and absolutely everything working? Then go for any (aosp preferably) gingerbread rom.
Do you want bleeding edge of development? Then go for the latest evervolv nightly based on 4.4.4 android. But you should forget video recording and expect some rough edges and no guarantees on stability.
It is a matter of choice after all.

[Q] Most stable KitKat ROM for Desire Z?

Im wondering right now what is the most stable KitKat ROM for the Desire Z? I know it cant be stable AND no lag so lets just go with stable....Right now, I have a 4.2.2 ROM that is OK but sometimes it reboots ALL day and suddenly stops and is stable (and no lag).

Which 4.2.2 rom do you have?
For now, nothing on KK is better than the AlterNdromadus 4.2.2

Its guhl's permissions ROM.
I am not looking for a 4.2.2 ROM. I asked for a 4.4.x ROM.
Thank you for your reply but that is not what I am asking

so try purekat, it's not stable but for me the most stable

To be clear, I wanted to tell you that KK Roms are far away from being as stable as this 4.2.2 rom.
So, I went back on 4.2.2.
The only thing that are better on KK : the clock, dialer and contact apps (aesthetically)
I'm waiting for PureKat beta3 (after Marco's exams !).

Besides, AlterNdromadus 4.2.2 being a CM ROM, is problably slow as hell compared to AOSP....

It is not IMO.
I just gave you my feed-back. You're free to test it by yourself. I will be happy if you find a KK Roms which deserve to stay on it on our device...

No, your preconceptions are incorrect. Firstly, CM is based on AOSP and does not diverge away enough (ala MIUI) to ruin performance. Secondly, CM is actually better performing because with CM we have more up to date libs etc. especially for qcom stuff like libhardware. Due to there never being AOSP support for this device and HTC stopping official support at 2.3, then clearly CM stuff is gonna work better for our device. Why do you think the Andromadus team stopped AOSP 4.2.2 after beta8?
Now the one case where AOSP is faster (for me) is Fyodor's 4.2.2 ROM, because he put in the effort to get all the libhardware stuff and qcom display stuff working nicely.
If you don't believe me then sync the latest Andromadus AOSP 4.2.2 source (as of around the end of 2012 I think), build it, and tell me you prefer it to their most recent CM build.

This is true, and the only advice I can give also. Besides, there are only 2 KitKat ROMs to choose from: Andromadus test builds or Marco's PureKat (CyanKat, AOSB are out of date so won't be stable).
I might like to add that this thread is against the rules anyway so you should be grateful it hasn't been reported yet and accept the advice you've recieved (which has been good).
Essentially, for stability go with 4.2.2, for most stable KitKat it will take you a total of 2 whole flashes to find out which one you prefer.

Every 4.2.2 ROM Ive tried that is based on CM vs AOSP is slower. On AOSP you lose some nice features, but Its always seemed slower and more of a memory hogger.
Seems to me that way anyways.

Newer isnt always better.

Also:
I was thinking of updating this, but I've lost my G2. I can't blind dev and I ran into enough difficulties as it was when I could test it. Java is just too confusing for me right now, so much more confusing than C which I'm only just starting to get comfy with. Unfortunately the lag is just a problem you'll have to get used to, backup and clean flash and wait a while. I couldn't do anything tobhelp you anyway, I just don't know how. I can give you the age ole tips: no task killers, no placebo scripts, minimal apps, minimal gapps, no hangouts, no Facebook, no heavy browsers (opera mini is great) but yeah I'm really sorry but there won't be any updates. As it is I think the ROM works well anyway. I'm no dev so if you want someone to support then turn to Flinny, Marco, NeverGone, etc. It sucks that my goal to have a stable sorta up to date ROam was dashed but that's life. Thanks to the people who liked the ROM anyway

1: Java is more confusing than C? Wow....
2: Saying "lag is just a problem youll have to get used to" is a no no. Like I mentioned, the ROM Im currently on is almost lagless but just has the problem of suddenly becoming stupid and rebooting all the time. Other than that, it is great.
3: Saying that the ROM works well anyways when you are mentioning that it lags and also recommending several comprimises like no heavy browsers and no minimal apps is just a no-no. Im sure this ROM had its time and its moment but its been out matched.
I guess Ill stay on this ROM for now and hope that KK development gets better. That or Phonebloks...

Im using a lower end phone these days because of a nonrelated issue and it already has 4.4.2! Im just surprised.
It also works pretty damn good considering the speed and RAM it has.

For me AOSB 1.2.9 is faster but Flinny's alpha3 is most stable because using AOSB it some times gets reboot especially when open es file explorer .quick pic etc.But AOSB consumes a lot of customizations its really good.
