Which ROM have YOU flashed?

Sup everyone.
Just curious to whats going on in the EVO community, as far as who flashed which ROM, and why. Maybe even provide a link to the ROM, or the dev site! That always helps too. So lets start with mine::
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Which custom ROM are you using? (or Stock?)
- Currently running Fresh 0.2 Custom ROM. Loving the speed and nearly bugless experience. Custom navi-bar is a nice feature, but currently running LauncherPro on top of it.
2) Why are you using it?
- Considering its my first real ROM experience, Fresh seems to be the more popular of the bunch. Sticking with it until something else awesome comes out, or maybe this one can just get better. ^_^
3) Pros / Cons?
- PROS - Fast, reliable, nearly no errors, at all. Trust-worthy name in the ROM society. Removes unwanted Apps and bettery life seems pretty fair. Can only get better.
- CONS - Seem to be having trouble changing wallpapers. (getting FC?)

1.32.651.6 rooted I just wanted root and I like the Sprint and HTC programs

Damaged 3.0
Its fast, stable and everything works.
Once the asop like builds and or froyi get mms receive / camera working I'll probably move to one of those.

1. Bugless Pete 3.0
2. like the stock experience (first android phone), didnt want something with GUI hacks
3. Pros: incredibly fast, no ads, everything works
Cons: Need a second flash to get rid of Sprint Apps

BuglessBeast
Using it for the battery life improvements and built in task killer
Fast, stable and excellent battery life.
No problems yet, but I havent done anything tasking with it.

Stock rooted 1.32.651.6 that Flipz provided. Took out all the stuff I didn't want, and put ADW Launcher on it. It's basically perfect now. I've been wanting to flash some other stuff but I haven't seen anything to sway me from this setup yet.

I've done about 4 of the
OMJ ROM's are stable, everything works, Sprint Apps are excluded. Advantages (since I'm new to Android) are different programs he puts in his ROMs. This is the one I use when I need my phone usable.
I tried the EVOlution ROMs. Froyo is definitely quicker and cooler. I can't wait until we can get it. There are too many things that unstable or unusable about it. I mean, I got kids so I NEED my camera at any given moment.
I flashed one that I didn't know what the difference was. That was really just a test for ROM Manager, which makes the process 100% easy. Just a few clicks and your done.
My next one which just finished DLing is DamageControl 3.0. He advertised well. Sposed to be quick stable and battery saving. All benefits to me.
I also use Titanium Backup so I can restore my customizations. Saves a bunch of time as well. Be careful though cuz a customization on one ROM could mean a bootloop on another.

I use OMJ's Vanilla "eclair" rom with all the sprint and htc crap removed. it's glorious!

Fresh 0.2 for me. Just because I liked his stuff on the hero.

Fresh 0.2. Flipz always did me right with my hero. Tried out the Evolution Froyo rom just to see how Froyo ran on the Evo. Definately nice. Can't wait to have a fully working rom. Tried OMJ for a while. Will probably stick with Fresh rom. He makes a pretty stable rom and always has some tricks up his sleeves for the next build.

I'm running RvU 1.3.2. I then used Buggless bloatware removal, installed Overclock..
I did it because of battery drain.. Before, I was getting about 8-12 hours of use + sleep (3g). Now, I'm pushing 35-40 with use and sleep (these results are when using wifi only, I'm still experimenting with 3g).

DamageControl v3 but switched to EVOlution V7 last night and it's running great.

Stuck switching between FroYo and DC.
I would love to have everything working, but it's just so hard with how sexy FroYo is

Flipz "Fresh Evo 0.2" ... and i upgraded to .3 using ROM Manager.

Running Baked Snack .7 . Stupid fast and I love his customization to the battery icon, notifications and the notification bar. Plus the battery life has been improved as well.

EVOlution v7...If I need a camera ill just load my saved 2.1 in a couple minutes and roll..

only tried fresh although I think it has a memory leak because my available memory keeps on going down the longer I keep my phone booted. Could be wrong.

Same, cant pull myself way from Avalaunch's ROM, Froyo is too nice....

Right now I'm running DamageControl v3.0, I really wanna tryp flipz fresh .3 but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get into adb on my comp, I've been googling and going through posts here for a few hours now to no avail

Have flashed:
EVOlution: Amazing, but no cameras
Damaged 3.0/.1/.1.1: Nice, and a lot of innovative features, but was too buggy.
Currently running:
Bugless: It doesn't try to do anything fancy, and because of that, everything works great and its fast and sleek.

Best Legend rom!!

Hi!
Just a quick question please. I've got a Nexus one on CM6 and all happy with it. My mate's got a Legend though and has got loads of niggly problems and issues with it and wants me to root it, wipe it, and put a new rom on in for him to give him a fresh start.
So obviously not being so familiar with all the rom options on the legend, could anyone advise which rom is the best and most stable to flash? From looking around it seems the indigo bean rom looks like the best all rounder. what about the cyanogen one though?
Thanks a lot!

I'm using azure (0.5 version, don't wont to update just yet) (Froyo, Cynogenmod6.0)
Well, I really love HTC sense, just for most of the apps (mail, keyboard, browser), but now I'm on this CM6.0 mod for quite a while and I am starting to like it.
It's a bit faster (noticeable) and its quite stable, haven't noticed many issues.
I would definitely recommend this ROM.
(I've got the jonas htc 1.5 keyboard installed, just can't live without this one)
If you stick to sense, just make sure he gets the latest radio and version 2.... versions before 2. where noticeable SLOWER ...

Well there is no best in anything actually. Depends on what he's looking for in a rom. If its for speed go for Kyosa's CM, its the fastest rom so far on the Legend. Have some issues on it though, so not really practical for everyday use. Azure's CM on the other hand it stable, but a bit slower. I personally use the Azure's rom from ali ba, so I would recommend that one.

[Q] Experience with Ginger Roms? [Faster than Froyo Roms?]

Hey,
im currently running Floyo on my HTC Hero. Im wondering what is the currently fastest and best running Rom out there.
Are the other Froyo Roms out there better than Floyo? Why are they better?
Shall i test the Gingerbread Roms? Are they faster than the Froyo Roms? Do they run better on your Devices ? What about the battery life?
fiden

from my experience I think elelinux 6.2 is the fastest, but for me it's also a little unstable unless he's solved that problem since I used it (which was a few weeks ago).
floyo is really good too though so you might want to stay where you are.
make sure to use launcherpro which is by far the fastest launcher on the hero.
gingerbread is fairly fast but not really as instantaneous to respond to your taps as some of the faster older roms out there. I actually find that cronos eclair light is the fastest rom to respond to my commands, but it's a highly modified 2.1 sense rom which means you're limited to 2.1 features (if that bothers you, it annoys me now that I'm used to gingerbread).
It's a trade off really. gingerbread is the best os so far, but it does have a couple of graphical framerate issues in UI screen transitions and some 3d stuff.
It's camera might not be quite as fast or good as with older roms also, however I'm not convinced of that yet.
You can always create a nandroid of your current setup (or a bart which will be a bigger backup but will include your ext partition - sort of a necessary thing imho). then wipe all and try a gb rom. you can restore to your floyo bart backup any time if you decide to.

Froyo at the moment is very rock stable and still faster than Gingerbread (Beta). It's like comparing Windows XP and Windows Vista. GB beta offers something interesting. However, from time to time, you may experience FC, lag, GPS problem, unexplained reboot and some apps not useable (not updated yet for GB). The default camera on GB is still bad, very colourless. If you use alternative like Camera 360, only then it is good. If you use GPS a lot, bear in mind Runkeeper or Buddy Runner will have problem connecting to GPS. My daily working ROM is also Floyo 1.20. Use Nandroid to backup your Froyo first. Wipe all, Flash any GB ROM (I had tried Ele's 0.6 and Cronos' 1.10) to try out yourselves.

I haven't tried LP for a few months, but I am quite sure Zeam is faster
Of course Zeam doesn't have as many features.

Ive been running GB for about two weeks and have only had one lock up. (mind you I was reinstalling all my apps while trying to listen to music so probably my fault there..)
Only had 1 FC and that was in Gmail after I changed my signature in the settings but hasnt done it when I edit it since.
Havn't noticed any lag (then again I use Zeam, which flies along anyway),
and I get 3 days battery, half a day more than froyo with the same usage. (then again its using a different Kernel compared to what Froyo was using so that may be why).
As for colourless camera, ive not noticed any difference at all since updating. if it does worry people that much, you guys do know that the stock camera has settings for bumping saturation/contrast/etc up right..? and it remembers the settings so set and forget..?
But yeah. I switched to GB as soon as I was getting reports through it was all stable and nice and I have not been disappointed. In froyo I always used to run into market install problems every so often (items would download but not install, no matter what froyo rom I used this problem used to come and go randomly.) none of that yet!
Have not tried the GPS yet on a proper drive, but on preliminary tests (local runs around the block on foot and in car) I get a fix within 6seconds inside the house by a window and 4seconds out side, Google maps, Copilot and runkeeper all working fine.
As others said. Make a nandroid, full wipe, flash and have a try for a few days.

If you say the Ginger-Roms are still not stable, i will not test them and wait a little time until they are stable . Thanks for your help!!
So is there a difference between the Froyo Roms out there? Shall i test the others like Froyd or Elelinux or Cronos? Somebody made experiences with TastyFroyo from RaduG?
fiden

Im running Cronos Ginger (non-Anim)....
Its much faster than the froyo ROMs i had used in the past. Only problem is that some apps refuse to work... like Opera Mini, Angry Birds 1.5.1
But its not a big deal, its my day-2-day ROM and very useable

So far I'm finding the GB roms pretty damn slow (all of them, including fresh Cyanogen). The fastest ROMs are still probably modded 2.1 sense ROMS, but then your trading features for speed. There are a lot of very fast, stable and feature rich 2.2 ROMs out there though, so that is the safe middle-ground right now.

I've tried a bunch of ROMs, but as far as I can say, Elelinux's CM 7.0.0-based ROM (v0.6) is the fastest of all. Gingerbread ROMs for the Hero have gotten pretty fast over the last couple of weeks.
And concerning the launchers, I'd say Zeam's the fastest.

I've tried a lot of rooms too. When I went from eclair to froyo, I found many useful new functions (tethering the first one), but from froyo to ginger what are the advantages? I tried, but then I went back to floyo, the froyo version which gives me the highest scores on tests...

Tests arnt the be all and end all
For example, Tasty gingerbread rom gave me the best scores. but the UI was laggy as hell. the tests are just how information is moved about as apposed to how fast YOU can interact with the device. I hardly ever run tests any more I just use the best testing equipment for me, my eyes lol

hey thanks to all you answers.
So i put an eye on the new Cronos Froyo 1.8.0, which is out since the 10th. Somebody here who tested Cronos Froyo and somebody who can tell me about his experiences with CF?
Cronos is a very good developer... ive tested his roms in the past and there were many good roms out there a couple of them were the best out there!
What about Cronos Froyo?

CF 1.8 is great. Coming from CG 1.1 but CF is much much much faster! Try it, in my eyes no G rom is faster than Froyo.

Best Stock Ginger ROm(rooted) your ideas

So yes this is my idea. I would like to get a colelctive together. Since it is hard to go through hundreds of pages. Trust me I ahve been reading like crazy and trying to find a good one. Well trying to find one that ha the potential to mature very well. :}
But for now what roms are you using? Any good/bad things to say about it?

There is the rom wiki that the devs should update, but don't really too much anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
Now is this Gingerbread roms in general?

Ya know hell yea why not in general. not many stock rooted roms. When i say Stock rooted I am talkign about stock basee but with enhancements.
But any rom in general would be good. I am trying to get a feel for whats out there and dont have the time to flash a bunch of roms.

Right now, you have to think about what you want, exactly, because you have choices, so I'll try to outline some of the pluses and minuses.
AOSP. This would be CM7, and ROM's developed off of this build, ie, Destroyer, SalvageMod and Savaged-Zen for example.
The pluses, highly customizable, you can get excellent battery life with the custom AOSP Kernels, and pretty much everything works, and there are a lot of options for setting up your preferences.
The downside, well, not much of one, other than the Base ROM is pretty ugly, Flat looking, so if you like the polish of Sense, it's not here, but there ARE some good themes.
MIUI MIUI is kind've like having an Iphone, in how's user interface is setup, A LOT of customization options, good battery life and a great DEV community. Some things don't work though, like 4G and HDMI, is I remember correctly. To me, MIUI is like setting up Linux after having run Windows for many years.
The thing I don't like, is all the apps on the desktops. There are a ton of Youtube videos that you can use to see how it looks and works.
Froyo Based ROMS, are great because everything works, they're usually themed well and there are endless mods to customize how your setup looks, etc. You can get awesome battery life with the right kernel. Nice, stable, solid, good looking. I recommend Koni Elite III as I used that as a daily driver for a long time.
GB 2.3.3 ROMS. These are the newest ROMS there are, and are based off of the Evo Shift which has Sense UI 2.1, while the Evo is stuck with 1.0, so you have a lot of updated Sense Apps. A lot of 3.0 Apps are being ported to these ROMS. And there are some GREAT ones. MikG is very stable. Synergy, same thing, and everything seems to work well, although different phones react differently. Evoking's Alliance ROM is based on MikG but has some sweet themeing work dome to it and the carousel style Rosie works. There are a few others, so you'd have to read up on them.
The down side, well, for one, no custom kernel exists, because the source code for the stock kernel has not been released yet, so battery life is pretty tame. Also, there is no HDMI out and like I Said, some phones thrive with these setups and some are just not working out well, but I run a GB 2.3.3 ROM, because they are cutting edge and all the biggest names are working on them, creating some real nice work. So it can only get better.
hope this helps, man.

Kings Roms are by far my favorite after having many by different devs. heres the link.. its an amazing rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120734

I ran a few GB based roms before settling on MikG 2.15 and I find Mik's to be the best one yet.
dc13's TiX GB ROM is nice too. Very stock feel, but optimised. I still run his ROMs on my Moment and my son's Transform with great success. Battery life on those phones are amazing, getting 40+ hours out of a charge.

I use MIUI as my daily driver even though I live in a 4G area. Lots of features and add ons that are not found elsewhere. Good feel but a bit quirky at times.
Of the Sense.GB roms I've flashed, I liked MikG, Synergy and dc13's. All are very well done
Evo HW 003
MIUI 1.6.17

+ 1 on kings Rom....7.4t....best and smoothest out there.

Oh cool, 7.4 is out? I'll have to check it out.

I'm running MikG v2.2 and really like it. The only complaint I have is that the Google Talk video chat feature is sideways. This is a feature I was looking forward to so the fact that it's bork is kind of a bummer to me but if you don't care about that it's a great ROM.

I am just waiting on some more updates and see who I will go with lol. See who becomes the most stable in two weeks time etc.

Hero GSM rom

Hello everyone,
I am the unhappy owner of an HTC hero which is performing far toooo slow.
I decided to move from my original 2.1.1 to cyanogenmod 7.1 a few months ago, it was good, but far too slow. I kept it for good 2 months before eventually decided to give some other roms a go.
So i switched to chronos 2.4.4, far quicker than cyanogenmod, but still crawling..
My biggest problem is maps and waze, they are too slow to be useful...
chronos has shown to be also unstable, with the bluetooth causing lots of FC and phone going unresponsive for seconds...
Now, im fed up again.
I woudn't mind to go for android 2.1 or 2.2 i do not really need 2.3.3..
So i was wondering which rom to put on my hero.
Any suggestion?

It sounds like Vanilla Eclair is the ROM you want! It is old, but by far the fastest Rom out there
Sent from my Hero using XDA App

Heroine ++ is a 2.1 sense rom and is very fast
Decked_X is a 2.3 aosp rom which is similar to cm7 but a lot better in my opinion and is possibly the fastest and most stable gingerbread rom you'll find
You could also try Elelinux's Speedmachine V5 which is a 2.2 rom. Its based on cm6. Its my current rom and seems stable and fast. I haven't tried many 2.2 roms so there may be something better out there but this one seems good to me

Unfortunately there is no fully working sense 2. 2 Rom. Camera issues. Still would love to see one though but hardly any development going on these days

at the moment im trying the heroine
quite snappy compared to chronos and cyanogenmod
battery seems a bit weak, 12 hours life more or less...
lets see how it goes

Try the new nightly off the thread of Pure CM 7.2 RC0 KANG ROM.. Speedwise I think it's better than decked. I mean comparing this to heroine, it sure is a tight one. Give it a shot you won't be disappointed.

I've just started using [ROM][2.3.7] LiGux (Coopoui) (RC2.0 - 01/12/2012)[Port] which is fast enough for me and before that the speedmachine rom which was also quick. I think what you might need to do is use an older version of your software rather than expect the rom to pick up the slack. The problem I see is that the maps etc is newer and slower on our older phones. So for the best combination why not get an older rom and an older version of your software (ex maps) and not update them?

At the moment the battery issues are fixed and the rom is going pretty well
quick and snappy it has its hiccups from time to time but i think is mainly because new version of apps software should be called bloatwares instead.
unless the phone starts to crawl again I will stay with this rom..
