Hey guys I was wondering what other stock based roms are available for flo? I'm looking for a stock experience with no modifications at all. Just like CleanRom. (I tested out CR but I'm looking for another one)

You are not looking for another one - you simply sit there and wait for other members to do this for you.

If at least threads had a label like (stock) or something I wouldn't be here asking this. I have to take the trouble to check every single rom available while I can ask a simple question so people who know more than a I do can answer me. Yet you take the trouble to answer add a reply instead of letting it go or helping me out.

Though I do tend to recommend people to try out for themselves to see which ROM suits them best, I have to agree with you that sometimes it's hard to judge what direction a ROM developer is taking (close to stock, insane performance, extreme battery saving, feature packed, etc.).
Off the top of my head, I remember CleanROM, Purity, and SinLessROM being close to stock. CleanROM was the closest, while Purity and SinLess try to keep it simple but have added features I believe. I sold my flo for a deb so can't really remember if there were any other flo roms I tried.

I am ready to dive in with the Unrevoked3 method to root my Desire, I take it I will then be able to load a custom ROM, however I'm a little overwhelmed by the choices. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere or can someone make any suggestions? I'm after stability and reliability although I am interested in what the whole ROM scene has to offer.
I presume that all my paid apps will still work as well?
i would stick to the rom you are using because if you have to ask that question, you haven't done enough research, if there was a single answer to what rom to use, then there wouldn't be so many around
so the final answer is, stick to the stock froyo that you've got already, there's nothing to be gained from other roms considering you didn't specify what it is you were looking for

- Yes, you should be able to flash a custom rom, if you can follow the instructions.
- There is no comprehensive list, the number of rom's and the changes are to large to keep it up to date, or do you offer to create one
- suggestions will tell you to use rom a, b, s, or z, depending on the users preferences. The only thing you can do is to read the rom description, and start skimming and following the rom's which description you liked.
A thing you left out, and what is normally mentioned in a question like this, do you prefer sense or non-sense?
To finish: I use LeeDroiD V2.1 and I am happy with it, it's stable / reliable, and it's Sense based.
Now just wait for the OD, DeFrost, Pays, Cyanogen (just some examples) and other rom users to give there opinion,
and then decide
^^ pretty much what he said!!
No one can tell you what to use, only give their opinions. Ultimately you'll have to read the threads and just try the ROMs until you find one you're happy with. I've gone back to stock as it does what I need it to
i just love when dudes get all condescending as if they were never overwhelmed when they first started out. first they yell at you and infer that you're an idiot and then 4 posts later, they wind up actually helping.
i guess it's like hazing for nerds.
seriously though, i'm gonna answer all your questions right here and now:
go with CM6. then download another one and try it. then download another one and try it. and then... come back here and tell us what your opinion is. you know, pay it forward and don't become one of those condescending dorks after you have figured it all out.
that is all. i'm going bowling with your father...

Well, when you don't get out much and you don't have many friends.. We should be more sympathetic to 'special needs' people.
Anyway, I'm on AuraxTsense now (check my sig for full details). I like the concept of undervolting for extended battery life, however before I dive in to ROMs, what can cause damage? I will avoid overclocking ROMs for that reason, anything else to watch out for?
What's the advantage of Cyanogen over others? I also read that Modaco ROMs are designed with stability in mind.
Is there any way to back up settings to restore when switching ROMs? Or should I just back each one up with all my settings and use that?
In the last week or so I've tried at least
- Cyanogen
- PirateRUM
- Some PAYS Sense one
- OpenDesire
- ShadowSense
+ another 1 or 2 I forget now
with Alex-V's one still to try.
The main thing I'd say is:
- Do you want Sense?
- Do you want GApps and other fluff preinstalled?
Try them and see...
Personally
- I like OD but it needs the Sense music player
- CM has no market, and I have not worked out how cutdown it's GApps package yet to remove fluff
I have been using cyanogenmod 6 for a few days now.
And im not going anywere anytime soon
However, like they say, try em all
Aurax is rocking my boat right now although struggling to work out how to install Maps..
What do you like about Cyanogen?
The ui is good. It just works. Try out for yourself. Painless to install. Ohh and the battery performance is alot better then the stock rom

I prefer AOKP with Glados Kernel.
It has been said before that there is no "best" ROM, every user has different preferences and requirements in a ROM. Try them all.

Realistically speaking, it is impossible for one to sit down and try every ROM. Because in order to fully experience the ROM you need to have it installed for a couple of days to conclude.
The best way to find the best 'ROM' is to look at the thread and read it's features. Read the first couple of posts, then start reading posts backwards. Like what you see? then try out the ROM.
Ok thanks Buddys ... i just try it out ... Maybe i find one fitting my imagination.
peace to y'all
Well i have tried a lot also spent some bucks getting things trying to get better and after all that i figured that nothing its better than a stock image rooted in the long way Google fix the glitches and bugs and the system its way more stable and reliable

Well its not impossible.. And you're right a few days of having each one installed is necessarily to draw a conclusion. What I meant was try them all that you find appealing. I wouldn't expect anybody to flash one that they didn't like the looks of just to "try them all" lol.

I prefer more customization than stock. I was on stock for months and finally got tired of it recently. I flashed AOKP and have really been enjoying all the extra options like the toggles and the custom batteries and such.

Lol who knows. Someone might take the wrong way and actually download every single one of them and try them if they have the time to do so
No best rom. However, you can use this as a reference point: I am using AOKP b29 with Morfic's Trinity Kernel and all is smooth and great battery life.

I usually start by thinking of the specific options and customization that I want. From there just spend time looking at all of the roms available and if they contain what you want. If you can't find anything that way start flashing until you find what you want.

Not everyone has the leisure to do that because there are so many ROMs and kernel combinations. The chances of testing EVERY single little thing with the same variables such as reception, apps, background data, usage (heavy, moderate, minimum usage), these are just many of the variables that affect battery life.
By the time you complete that task, something newer will be out. It's like asking, "what's the best phone?" are we going to buy every single phone and try it? No.. we're going to look at user feedback and draw our own personal conclusions on which is the best for us because there is no best phone/ROM/kernel... the best one is the one that fits our personality.
No need to be a jerk.
Aopk will do you perfectly from what your saying. Give milestone 4 a flash, stable quick loads of customisable options for you to play with. No Lagg, excellent performance aswell as battery life.
Nothing else springs to mind in terms of stability, other good roms out there and cm9 however it's in builds with no milestone, so less stable.

CM9 is ridiculously stable at the moment; they just have a different definition of "stable". That said, for people who like a plethora of customizations; it's not there yet.
As everybody points out, your choice of ROM is personal, so I'd just start flashing until you find one you love. Find a popular one (AOKP, Gummy, Code name, Tranquilice) and flash it. If you're in love, stick with it, if something bugs you, find another ROM that doesn't have that.
The nice part about Nandroid backups is that there is little risk of flashing something new, and you'll likely know within a few hours whether a given ROM is right for you, and can revert back easily.
For me, once I installed Gummy (Lean kernel), nothing else lasted more than a few hours on my phone. I may flash something else every so often, but I keep coming back. That's ROM love.

That's true, I used it and it was very stable. Didn't use it for a long period though and as they are in nightlies still though they wouldn't be as stable. As you say though customisation wise its not there yet

Thanks for the "help" guys. It takes less time to not be a smartass and say "i liked the new miui! but xyz is popular".
Frosty Jellybean is an excellent "stock"-ish rom, but it has been discontinued but is still very stable.
Right now I'm on Darthstalker v8 and it's very smooth and close to stock. I've also used Wicked and Domination and they're excellent roms as well.
For your needs, a rom that is as stock as possible, I'd recommend Frosty Jellybean and Darthstalker (Frosty Jellybean is as stock as a rom can get and is very stable, but as I said before, development is discontinued.)
If you do go with Darthstalker, I'd recommend flashing the "STOCK UVDLJA FONT" and "REVERT CLOCK TO RIGHT" mods that are in the first post in the thread. I've yet to test battery life, but so far it's very snappy.
Thanks GenericAsianGuy, Darthstalker looks good. Definitely gonna need that font switch tho.
I personally prefer AeonFluxx, but everyone's tastes are different. Ask 100 different people, and you will get 101 different answers.
Doesn't take much time to look through the development sections yourself and choose your own favorite either..

I agree, look at the mods for each rom, and see the last 10 posts, if you do that you will limit what is wrong, and what people think of the rom. I did this a bout 3 weeks ago planning on making a template of the roms that are available for our phone, with a bio on each of the roms... I asked if people would like me and some others to do this and got little response, so I didn't think it was worth it.
My favorite JB rom is domination. Works 100% out of the box, no extra mods or anything you need to flash, fast and good battery life.
Thetenthdr, you're totally right about the opinions thing. I'll be checking out those other ones too. It'll take a while to get the jargon down, much less all the different features/pros-cons so I really appreciate getting some opinions so I can jump right in without a PHD.

elflip88, just to make you sad. mt3g, that's a great idea! The Vibrant had a great rom bible, don't quite see anything like that here (but maybe I just missed it)
Root66 is perfect for you.
Flip is correct. These threads are frowned upon because they almost always turn into a pissing match.
Mt3g's plan is what I usually tell new users. Browse the Dev section and pick a few you like and read their OPs. Then read the last 10 pages (not posts) or so to find out about some bugs/questions. Pick one you like and start reading.
Btw, many of us came from the Vibrant and yes you are correct, there was a fantastic "bible" over there. Would love to see one like it over here.

What's the consciousnesses of the best ROM for the Sprint G3?
Really don't want to download them all, try all features and then choose. We need like a Download meter on a page that says how many times each rom flavor has been downloaded so we know what's hot and what's not.
Give me your feedback based on all features working and a solid rom with no issues. (plz don't laugh. I know we are not releasing broke apps/ROMs )

Every week or two, this exact thread pops up, and the generic response is: try them all out.
In terms of downloads, none of the Roms are hosted on XDA< so it'd be impossible to bake it into the site itself. Dev's could put it in their posts, but even that's not a good indication (Roms that release a lot of updates will have a lot more downloads with fewer users, for example).
In terms of what's best, it's impossible to say. I personally like some of the fun features of XYZ Rom, while Johnny over there is much more interested in stability (he uses the phone for work, you see). Likewise, Suzie really just wants to have a Stock Rom with all Sprint and Samsung bloat removed. Little Ralphie wants the fastest and most gamer-friendly Rom, while Carl wants the best battery life.
All of us will have different desires when we flash a Rom and therefore there will never be a consensus on what is the best Rom.
Edit: All of that being said, If you don't want to take the time to flash each Rom individually, I'd say look at one thread and look at the features list. You'll see a bunch of stuff that makes no sense to you, but you might be able to piece together what some of the mods/features might be. If they sound good, read through the last 5-10 pages of the thread and see if there are any stability issues being reported. If it seems stable enough for you, flash it. Otherwise, move on to the next thread.

Hey guys,
My missus just ordered one of these phones and its good to see this section of the forums being active, which kinda is causing my dilemma - which rom to install on her phone? I know this question probably gets asked alot and it comes down to personal preference, but I will have limited time to play with her new toy, so testing out a few roms is out of the question. I would like a stock-based rom thats stable and fast and suitable for everyday use - we all hate being asked/yelled at 'why cant this just work' .
Something like Omega for sgs3 or androwook for tf201 tablet, which are both great, stock based roms that add cool extras to the stock experience.
Thanks for your time and suggestions are greaty appreciated.

You don't need to, actually. Stock rom is just already what you want. Still, might look for extra features, though.
