Trying to find the perfect rom for myself.

I've flashed many roms. Now I'm trying to find one that does all the things I need. I haven't found one yet. These are my personalized pros and cons for what I look for in a rom. Help me find a rom to use please?
First off, the rom I'm using now is
Lewa rom
Pros:
*Lightweight. (71mb download file and 140-160mb free ram while running the apps I use)
* camera works
* yahoo webcam works
* very fast, apps stay in memory and don't restart everytime I minimize them
Cons:
* physical keys too bright
* battery life is terrible
CM7 roms
Pros:
* almost everything works
* very reliable
* fast
* alot of free memory
* better battery life
* camera works
Cons
* adobe flash player is bad on these roms
* apps don't stay in memory(launcher reloads when going back to homescreen when minimizing apps etc)
*boring ui
Sense roms
Pros:
*best looking
*easy access to toggles and brightness slider
*best camera
*fast
Cons
*worst free memory
*no screenshot in power button menu(when holding the power button, there's no screenshot button)
*slower than cm7 and lewa
**note**
*senseless romeo has most of the features I like, but it doesn't have American English. So websites like Google give UK search results and prices and it gives euro money sign on the keyboard, instead of dollar sign
ICS roms
Pros
*nice features and ui
*can use new ICS apps
*good camera
*almost everything works
Cons
*slowest roms I've used
**yahoo webcam chat doesn't work**this is the reason ICS isn't my DD
I'm sure there are a few things I've forgot to mention. But these are the small features I look for in roms and I've been unable to find one that has them all.
Any know what a good fit for me would be? I suppose when lewa is updates to fix those problems, ill be very happy with it as my DD. Or if ICS is improved to run faster and working yahoo video chat, ill use that.

I've just flashed the new Android Revolution 6.3.3
Hopefully this will perform better than Android Revolution 7.x
I've flashed a lot of mods for this, lets see how it plays out and performs.

I haven't found a perfect rom as yet. But of late I haven't flashed anything new. I've been running on my cyanogen build for the past month

I'd either recommend a barebones ROM like G-lite or G2 Slim which are both AMAZINGLY fast and stable, or just good old plain CM7. Using CM7 with launcher pro always gave me amazing multitasking abilities that i never had on any other ROMs. CM7 is also by far the fastest in terms of performance. The only thing that CM7 lacked for very long for me was battery life, because i always suffered battery drain when using it. After matching ril lib.so files with the latest radio though, battery life became MUCH better. In fact, i consistently got the best battery life i've ever had with CM7. I don't think you can go past the latest CM7.2 RC in any way.

But then he doesn't get ICS features. Try Andromadus Audacity 3. That thing might be the best bet for ICS.

[Q] What's the difference between ARHD and Viper rom?

Aside from themes and customization what are the differences? What should I expect using them ?
I'm on ARHD right now and been itching to flash to Viper rom but I'm leaving for a trip so I can't afford to switch roms in between.

If ARHD is working fine for you right now, then wait till you get back. I did the stupid mistake of flashing CM10 before a trip and it kinda made things really difficult. The camera was all messed up, GPS was acting up and battery life was quite unpredictable, so I couldn’t rely on my phone when I really needed it.
However, since Viper is also a sense ROM you wouldn’t notice that much of a difference, but still you never know what kind of trouble you might run into....

I'm relatively new to the forums so been reading up on everything, I just flashed ARHD today and it would be insane to switch immediately without giving it a try What happened to leedroid btw? Seems he's been inactive at the HOX forums, I really love his work on the Desire from way back.

I have been using the ViperX Rom now for awhile and besides the sheer Customisation of the ROMs I don't see any much difference (last ARHD Rom I used was 7.1)
But I must say that it is frikin awesome specially the whole auto software update so dont really have to manually flash your phone with the latest ROM/build each time
thats my 5c

ARHD is a stock rom tweaked by Mike to give you the better performance and great battery life. He removes all unwanted crapware and installs apps that are useful. there are a few mods as well that are made for his rom as well...just check Jotha's mods in his opening page of the thread..
Viper X is a stock rom as well but with a lot of tweaks by that team and very customizable. so many icon packs so many statusbar themes that you will have your lips drooling...all honesty both are great roms but for me ARHD gives me that extra edge cause you get great support, the dev is awesome and pure and simple it is one great freaking rom

Another Viper user here, and can't recommend it enough, not too much difference between them all, just personal choice, and i like running "de sensed". but i would also agree with previous advice in leave it until you return from your break, i have settled on Viper as my daily driver having tried others over the last few months (ARHD, Insertcoin, Leedroid, Jellybean)
Leedroid is having personal issues that's why there is no activity on the rom.

From my experience with ROMs based on stock firmware, they are all pretty much the same performance and battery wise. The difference comes in customization and so forth.

You might want to stay with ARHD because viper x is not running on the newest sense 4.1

Personally I prefer Viper rom purely just becuase of the amount of customizations which are not available on ARHD. If you wish to stay with a rom which has not strayed too far from stock, but has better performance then perhaps stay with ARHD. If you like to change the look of the theme and icons etc. I would highly suggest going for Viper which also includes many performance enhancements.
Either way they are both good.
Trying not to go off subject, you do however have many choices of kernels to use. Big differences can come in to play with the path you take. I peronally use faux.

Maybe a little OT but my 2 cents is the both of the two worlds:
I use InsertCoin Rom 7.3.0 and it is just perfect. You get the smoothness of ARHD and some tweaks of Viper roms.
I find EQS really good and just 1 theme has been released.
Ofcourse you can use ARHD and flash yourself all the mods, but it is easier pre-cooked imho
Did you compare the feature list of both rom's?

[Q] Fast, smooth ROM

Hi,
I'm looking for fast and smooth ROM. I've already looked into development section and I was interested by Crane ROM and Enhanced. Do you have experiences with these two ROMs? Which one is better? Which from these uses less RAM memory?
Special question? Have these ROMs Czech language (I mean Czech localization and QWERTZ keyboard?)
Thanks for any answers.

I think the Adrenaline Rom from voetbalremco is the smoothest and fastest.

choice rappooks
I've tried DroidGIO v1. Worked like a charm. V2 seems not to be so smooth for me.

Stock based ROM : Adrenaline (Enhanced236 is my second choice)
CM7 based ROM : Phiexz 7.2 latest nightly
CM9 / CM10 based ROM are not yet fully usable daily IMHO.

go for Droidgio V2.2, its the best cm7 based rom out there

I've made a switch from Phiexz to DroidGio, the last one is even better.:good:

movfan & phurya :
I haven't tested this ROM (neither v1 nor v2).
Could you explain in a few words what is better in DroidGio than in Phiexz ?
By the way I don't think battery or stability could be better, because they are already perfect in Phiexz.
Functionalities I guess ... ?
Tks ;o)

When i was on vacation, the last Phiexz rom became unstable.
Now i've already used the xperia launcher, so it was the obvious choice changing to Droidgio.
The previous roms had some errors, but they were all removed, and now its error free.
Now i must say that i'm not a power user, but for me the rom is more responsive, and the battery is even better.
Give it a try, you can always switch back if you don't like it.

I will flash Phiexz CM 7.2. Thanks a lot guys

Just tested DroidGio 2.2 ...
This ROM cannot be compared to Adrenaline or Phiexz as far as smoothness is concerned.
After 10mn playing around, I have to switch back.
In addition, there are some bugs (among others, in Call interface numbers are not aligned with underlying grid, vibrate mode is not retained between reboot, etc ...).
For somebody who wants a bugfree & smooth ROM, DroidGio is not acceptable.

Damn, man!
You found two tiniest bug which you can experience like once in a month, and that means that droidgio isn't smooth and reliable.
I peronally think that droidgio v2.2 is one of the best, and maybe the best cm7 rom.
I don't say that phiexs's and adrenaline are bad, I'm just defending droidgio v2.2 because it's very good rom.

First of all, I didn't make any comment on reliability, because I haven't uses DroidGio 2.2 long enough to make comments on that particular point.
Second, you shouldn't use adjectives like "tiniest" when talking about bugs, because the level of annoyance is always relative to a specific user.
If you read the DEV section, you will find tones of posts about bugs that are considered "tiny" for someone, but "critical" for another ... and vice versa.
After 6 month under Adrenaline I cannot found a single bug (with my own usage).
After 10 minutes under DroidGio I found 2.
It is factual, peoples will judge from their own point of view / usage / expectations / tests.
Concerning smoothness, it could be that I've done something wrong, but I'm pretty comfortable changing ROMs, and I always make all steps to maximize success chances.
Factually again, I can assure you that in my own case, Adrenaline (and Phiexz in a lesser extent) is obviously smoother that DroidGio 2.2 (all things being equals).
Does all of that make DroidGio a bad ROM ?
Certainly not, it's a very good ROM that can be used daily without any problem.
Moreover, it is the last CM7 based ROM that is maintained (as Phiexz has apparently fully switched to CM10), and people looking for a CM7 ROM should definitely give it a try (among others )

Good job!
Thanks for explaining.

Well.... I have also tried a lot of ROMs but Phiexz CM7.2 seems to be right choice by now... (still awaiting for a stable CM9 or CM10)

Sammy Vs. CM10

Hey there,
I got the international N2 the first day its out (3g). its been flashing roms between WanamLite and Omega. Yesterday I've been going through xda forum again and notice about CM10.1, I really like the out look of CM over TouchWiz. I came across 3 CM roms; the PACman, JellyBeer and Resurrection Remix. I flashed PACman first because it's the most interested one since it has all 3 CM10, Aokp and PA features packed into one rom. Really love turning the phone into tablet mode. Playing it around after i notice its based on 4.1.2 not 4.2.1 that i wanted, also i can't find any custom kernel for 4.1.2. I really want to use redpill kernel so i flashed Resurrection Remix (FAST & LIGHT), this rom is based on 4.2.1 and it comes with redpill on stock. one thing i dislike RR Remix is I can't change the DPI. Next I flashed the JellyBeer, its based on 4.2.1 also, unfortunately it doesn't allow me to install facebook and many other apps I tried so i switched back to Wanamlite V2.4 it took me quite awhile to download and install, since most of the CM roms are around 300mbs. The minute i flashed Wanamlite i felt the phone is heavy and laggy comparing to the CM. Today I went back to RR Remix. So far its the best out of the three CM roms i tried.
So far, love the CM10.1 on RR Remix, I knew i lost many good sammy features like the Snote, but how many time have you really pull out the spen to use? I got the Gnote on apps store with pretty much the same function as Snote.:good:
Pro and Cons I notice so far:
CM Pro: Very light memory consumption (around 400mb used), able to customize the battery, clock, toggles.
CM Cons: Battery charging very very slow (10% charge in an hour) if i am using the phone while charging; the battery % doesn't go up LOL
At the end, sorry for all my BAD ENGLISH
If anyone is facing the battery charging problem, please share with me if there's a way to fix it

[Q] Recommend me a ROM?

I have had a look through the rom's for the i9195 and can't seem to decide which to get.
My main problems with the stock touchwiz rom are:
Terrible battery life (Having to charge twice a day sometimes)
Occasional lag
Touchwiz itself, I prefer stock Android
So I want a good stock rom, or something customised with cool features which I can atleast get a day's heavy use from.
I'll miss the little things like saying cheese to get the camera to take a picture, anything I can do to get this back?
It must be stable.
Everything must work.
Another thing I want but doesn't have to be incorporated in the rom is a launcher that supports placing apps inside the app drawer into folders, any suggestions? Must have the look of the stock android or nexus 5 launcher.
Thanks In Advance

I'm pretty sure asking for recommended ROM is against the forum rule, but since your problem lies elsewhere, so here it is: You can stay with TW ROM and improve your battery life by using custom kernel. The CPU governor is the main reason for poor battery life.
As for ROMs, well there's a few to choose from you got to do some research yourself. But I prefer Slimroms since it bare minimum.
You're free to use any launcher as you please even on TW. Note though flash kernel or ROM will trip knox.

well..
look my friend is about what you looking for there are some rom for you taste but.. you can test carbon i a good one... MUIU v5 that a very customizable rom and have good battery life! ther eis a new one LewaOS im testing that one and very cool and smoth this phone have agood battery life so you can go for something customizable! other roms like LS or Cyanogen are pretty good tho! :good::fingers-crossed:
