I have been reading alot about different ROMs but I dont seem to figure out which one is the best for me. I use my phone mainly for bussines so Office, email Calendar and tasks are the most important part of my day. I also do alot of we browsing. on top of that I want all these with the highest speed possible. so any ROM that can do all these and is FAST is my ROM. and one more thing, I dont care if it doesnt look cool. any comment is welcome. Thanks,

Nobody is going to be able to tell you which rom is the best for you. The best way to do it, is just flash and try all of them and see which one you like. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. You can start by reading Pureskillzzz.

Start there, but trust me, all the Roms here work great, so it's a matter of personal preference.

Pick your favorite. If other, please post it.
I've just recently gotten into ROMs (about a month now) and the first one I loaded was Asergs. I have not tried any of the others but I do plan to at some point.
wow you put mine onto the list...
but i hope nobody will vote..
that was discussed many, many, many times before and you cannot know!
EVERY rom fits to one person!
if you like clean ones, or black ones, or biggy, or, or, or!!!
every rom ahs pro and cons!
test them for your own and don´t ask other to decide for you!!
That's exactly why I put the POLL up though. It's so common for everyone to just start asking whats the best ROM. And while I agree with you that they are all somewhat different and one may fit someone better than the next, alot of people would like to see what is making most people happy. Chances are if X amount of people are using one ROM and swear by it that they will like it as well. And maybe not, but it gives people a baseline of what the crowd is pleased with.
You may want to break up a little further. Each rom builder has many different taste of roms, like full, lite and micro etc. I used Touch IT 2.0 full, Open Touch V3 lite and now I'm on Open Touch V4 lite black, those are all great roms, and I'm sure just within open touch people would have a preference for different flavors.

ok go on with the masses.....!!!
only because most people like a rom it must not be good... hehe.
but if you look deeper into the world of Herlad/wing you will see the difference
good luck
I noticed that most people have ONLY tried OpenTouch and TouchIT ROMs. OpenTouch is leading the favorite by quite a bit.
I guess it's time for Just2Stuffed...

ROM or not to ROM
For me, and many users, the interest in ROM change was to increase available RAM via Pagepool modification. Now that can be accomplished without changing factory ROM, should this not be a choice? It seems the safest route.

Even with a great pagepool, it takes quite a few tweaks to get the RAM in a stock ROM to the level that a custom ROM would get. Even then, there are so many files in the windows folder that it causes a considerable slow down to the machine. This SHOULD be a choice, but I don't think it's the best. Depending on your device, though, it MIGHT be the safest route. (Actually, depending on your SPL.)
How much free RAM do you get on the stock ROM?
I'm giving up the tilt and xcalibur, and getting the HD. It is brand spankin' new, and i'm wondering if i should give the stock rom a try or hop right into a cooked rom. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure this thread will get closed quickly... You have to be WAY more specific (e.g. ask specific questions, tell us what you're looking for) for us to be able to answer! There are so many ROMs, all with advantages and disadvantages - there is no perfect one!
I suggest trying a few of them and then decide on which one you want to stick with... But one thing is quite certain: Once you've tried a cooked ROM, you won't go back to the stock one!

i'm looking for speed. the fastest response time possible without any lockups, etc... i tried about 50 different roms on my tilt and never was 100% happy with any of them. I'm hoping that changes with the HD

You answered your own questions there:
1. Yes you are going to have to look for roms with speed, fast response times and without lockups etc
2. You tried 50 roms and was never happy. How do you expect us to make you happy? I've tried 50+ roms for the HD. I'm still not 100% happy
Only way you can acheive your goals is to try them yourself and read read read read read read read!! Did I mention read?
Thanks, sorry for the question, I'm obviously new to this.
oh of course man , anything for a new guy.. heres a link to a page that describes all the roms in detail , from here im sure youll be able to make your decision

we all had to do our own research and testing...you should do the same for something i like not be the same as what you like.
In reality, its not a bad question. Imagine you were going to buy a car. You go to a mega lot with literally hundreds of different cars. How do you even start to narrow down what kind of car to buy?
I chose my rom based on three factors:
1) What I perceive to be the most stable
2) What I perceive to be the most popular
3) What I perceive to have the most features stock
Which is rather odd since I chose my car on none of those factors
not trying to pick sides here but i have tried pretty much all the roms here. right now i am really happy with Energy.. doesnt lock up. only downside you might find is it doesnt have the HTC messaging but that was the main problem with a lot of roms i tried. the app kept freezing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654504
After testing server roms, I've been most happy with Energy. Never freezes up on me EVER! It looks great, and comes with everything. The HTC Messaging app is absolute garbage. I'm glad the chef removed it. I love the Windows Mobile default app
Is it my phone or does the energy rom drain the battery????
Flash roms and find the one that works best for ya.
I want to start out that I know there is a "guide" on the different ROMS.
But I want real reasons/thoughts on the different Android Roms available for our HD2s, and not have to go through 5 million posts.
What do you use daily and why, and your thoughts on the ROM?
Thanks.

Good luck. Everytime someone asks this question they get the same answer. Haha.
Indeed...and here it is...there is no "best" Android build, only what is best for you. Each one is different, and no person's opinion should make you go for one build over another, as each persons situation is different. THE advice to you, is to download a few, read like there is no tomorrow, and try a bunch until you find the one that works best for your needs.
I am aware there is no "best" ROM. I ws just asking what people's opinions/thoughts on the ROM(s) they use daily. I have nothing against trying different ROMS and have read about some at this point I would like something with decent fuunctionlity, esy on the battery and properly working wifi.
I am currently running Sergo's core droid v0.6, my only issues with it so far is wifi does not work, after a couple inutes the touchscreen is non responsive and I have to put it to sleep and back on to get it to work again.
So as stated I want to know how people like their current ROMS, not which one is best.
I hope someone would be kind to suggest what ROM I should go for these days.
My story is: I went with MDJ 2.6 NAND version and have been using it since it was published... I had no major problems or anything of that kind; 3G data works fine, GPS, navigation with CoPilot, etc... so everything works just fine and the biggest reason I stayed with it is it's battery - it is ridiculously GOOD! I get 1.5-2 days easily with my usage which tents to be most usage of web usage - not much talking to be quite honest.
Can someone suggest a CM7 ROM with good battery and definitely improvement in speed interface wise?
Thank you much!

Before I start flaming, I recommend HyperDroid.
By this thread, you want about 10 people going around and flashing every ROM available out there and provide you with a summary of how good the build is? that's not going to happen .. You need to go looking for the ROM that fits YOU not us ! Even if you didn't like HyperDroid, I couldn't care less, because being it MY favourite ROM doesn't mean it's everybody's ..
tyween's typhoon rom is always up to date.

Thank you much on your thoughtful response and help - I hope my thread did not ruin your royal fantastic day. I have read all the reviews but reading does not provide personnel experiences other than "here is what works here is what does not"... so, again - thank you - great help from a Senior member.

No need to flame - I appreciate the help because I am thinking of Hyper ROM as well - read everything about it and it appears typhoon gets more visits and updates but does not mean it is better.
Again - thank you for your shared experience with Hyper...
On another note: experiences wise - when you buy something on for example best buy.com you check ratings ... ratings are left by other members where they explain what they liked about the item - and many people rely on those... thats what I was looking for here - ratings from current users... if that flames you or anybody else, I do not see that's a problem with the thread but your individual one... anoyhow, I do appreciate your help.

it wasnt a flame just a fact
theres about 80 threads asking the same question with all the same answers
I use Dorimanx ROM, good if you don't mind updating every other day. I'd stay away from swap though, no matter what excuse the author gives I still don't think you would need/want swap. Get the "revert to light" edition of it. I was also a former MDJ fan, so maybe you'll like this too
roms
I like typhoon as well...Very stable updated and no connection problems or bugs that I have seen.
