In your own opinion, what is the fastest ROM you have used. And I'm not talking about MFLOPS, I mean no lag wise.
I have tested all ROMs and always go back to Aloysius v11 MAPS. Smooth, no fc's, great speed and it has sense.
By the way, this has nothing to do with dev, should be moved to general.
kaosfroyo is the fastest, but this thread belongs in general not development.

Can you give more on why its the fastest for you? I am not trying to call you out or anything but when I tested v23, yes, it was fast, but wasnt smooth. Are you just going my mflop scores you got? Screen movement, opening of apps and scrolling were not as smooth as Aloysius for me.
IMO, it is prob a more fair comparison to break up a survey like this into Which is fastest for: sense and sense-less type Rom's. Otherwise, its not drawing a fair comparison from the get-go, obviously the sense-less Rom's have a speed advantage right off.

IMO, sense-based roms are smoother. They may not be faster in MFLOPS test, but over all smoothness...if that makes any sense. Like flow of scrolling through apps in app drawer...things like that.
But I do agree with you. Or just have people give full break down on why they like their current setup better than others.

not going based on any benchmarking, just from speed of use. i use my phone a lot in the car with pandora/navigation in combo and most other ROMs are a pain with navigation and anything else loaded. ADW launher that comes pre-loaded on it is pretty laggy with the stock settings, but i turn off all animations and set the scrolling speed to "0" (fastest) and it runs like fire. I haven't tried any ROM without any lag at all and KaosFroyo with ADW does lag a little, but the multi-tasking power is what sealed it for me.
Just posted this over on kaos thread yesterday but thought it might be good for comparison sake here.
This is my daily ROM now and is great. I am on v20 right now and am skeptical of updating for fear I might break this great setup. I used the mms fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3015 and my mms is working flawlessly. I also uninstalled adw, and autokiller. I never set setcpu to anything after flashing the ROM so I don't think I am oc'd. I am getting consistent 5.0xx's on linpak and 422 on quadrant (which is better than stock droid and just under xperia). I have been unplugged with moderate usage today and I still have over 50% battery left after 12hrs, and only 2% cell standby. I would love to have my camera preview working but the camera does work and mms works so I will live. THANK YOU SO MUCH KAOS for your dedication and work in getting this going. Oh yeah and FYI, I use aNetShare to flawlessly tether via wifi my wife's netbook and or my Ipad. It works perfectly for those apps on iTunes that wont d/l under the 3g connection due to their 20mb limit per file. They ask you to d/l later via wifi. Stupid huh?

And FYI I never plugged in until 12noon the next day, so that's 29hrs and I had 15% left when I plugged in. Never plugged in at night also.

I also notice no slow downs despite having things like surface dithering and all of the "aesthetics" turned up. Smooth scrolling is turned on with launcherpro (slows the phone down for prettier scrolling) and I can't even tell the difference speed-wise.
I am fairly confident that it's as fast as can be for now.

I agree. Not to mention the stock camera app works on CELB 2.8. The linpack and quadrant scores are very similar. I get way less FC's on celb. So imo, celb is faster. Linpack scores don't mean anything to me. Its the actual use that counts.

SEARCH AND READ...that's seems to be the answer to every single post being made today. It's all here in black and white. One search I recommend in all honesty is search the word:
"BENCHMARK" and read the thread started by flipzmode. It's a really good read.

I just spit coke all over the computer at school...thanks Kbizz.
RegawMOD is pretty good and the new FreshToast is also fast once it's setup right... I've tried just about every 2.1 rom available on this site and those are the ones I like the most.
I know it benchmarked the worst but as far as regular use RegawMOD 2.1 is the best and fastest running rom in my experience, that is also on the .29 kernel...
If you search for flipzmode benchmark you will see that all 2.1 rom all run about the same speed.
Other then flip/toast OC rom should run the fastest and its the only rom that will actually show a big difference in benchmarks.
Water it down like all the other "fast" roms and youll have one that is actually fast do to overclocked processor.
Its not made for everyone, and the camera isnt working yet (i have a feeling its not far away).

Hey no problem!! Bout choked myself when I first read it.. My favorite rom name to date!! Wish I could cook.....
This is hardly a scientific analysis, but I have been running DC, flipz, and Regaw's roms interchangably for the past few weeks, and today switched from Sense to the Helix launcher.
The biggest difference in UI performance came from ditching Sense...it was actually a noticeable difference in responsiveness
That being said, I don't think you'll notice a whole lot of difference between the individual ROMs with Sense, so base your choice on what programs/features each ROM has versus which is fastest...in everyday use, you won't be able to tell a difference, IMHO.
So I got DarchVanilla, and I really like it, but the market doesn't have all my apps.. Is there a fix for this yet?? I really like this one, it's very responsive and close to lag free.

+1 The reason I chose RegawMOD is because it was basically a stripped down rom. It allowed me the room to load the programs that I wanted without having to strip useless (for me) programs from the rom. Very nice, stable.
I've found that using Ic3Rom with some apps removed from it, the old OpenGL restored on it, and Launcher2 installed, it's incredibly fast. It looks like AOSP, but has the current stability and function of a HTC ROM. Give it a shot if you haven't
I've used almost all of the roms available out there I thing fresh works better, if u don't want lag you would hve to use aosp

I can't handle laggy, and RegawMOD doesn't appear to have any of that lag, and so far everything I need and want works just fine on it, including googlevoice, but I only use googlevoice for my voicemail, no idea about sending and receiving calls with it.

Ive been running Cannon202 rom its pretty quick but ive seen faster..
What's the fastest and most stable rom out right now?
Its a matter of a opinion i know
SuperBad is faster, but i like Cannon's better.
Naa use chromatic 3.5 its super fast and really stable it even comes with set cpu so u can over clock u should try it its really good
If you want to go fast then sadly you might just have to downgrade to donut and go with SuperD. There is a speed loss on eclair as compared to donut, but I like eclair so much more...
another great donut rom is superfast v1.3.3 fastest rom I've ever used

Cyanogen 5.0.8 is actually very stable but very slow. atleast to me it is.
Ive tried SuperE, Cyanogen, CaNNoN202, SpeedTeam and Chromatic Eclair roms. And so far Chromatic seems alot faster than all those roms.
SpeedTeam's and CaNNoN202's roms are decently quick and stable.
But SuperE had to be the biggest disappointment.
I've been using cyanogen and didn't think it was worth it to try something else, since most things are just built on it. I'm about to try Chromatic though.

Also it seems like every single thing installed on the phone is running when it starts up.

Yeah I don't care for the Apps menu button too, it doesn't bother me too much though. You should try LauncherPro its just as good.
Yeah as for the apps running in the background I highly suggest downloading Advanced Task Killer and turning on Auto-Kill. It saves a grip load of battery life.
I'm using Cyanogenmod-5 For Dream/Magic - Mean Lean Pastry Machine - V5.0.8 (06/19/2010)on my G1 and it's fast.....
To get the nexus squares back on the launcher on chromatic, install the latest system version of the ADW launcher (0.90) by pershoot. You do loose the cool symbol on the search bar and the highlight on the squares is back to orange, but everything else is the same. .86 is installed by default.

jubeh's AOSP 2.2 is pretty fast. no OC and no swap needed. camera and gps aren't important to me so i will be using this as a daily driver.
The last couple of days, ive been trying to decide for myself on this exact topic. I suggest SpeedTeam for Eclair (its super fast and battery efficient; almost a full 2 days with light/medium use wwith close to 17% left on charge).
Jriv is right though. if you want fast, downgrade to superfast 1.3.3. Its rediculous how fast it is. by far the fastest ive used.
I think that Chromatic 3.7 is the best and the fastest software for G1 by now. Also there is no errors in it, lots of theming and CM goodies + gapps + preinstalled apps like EStrongs File Explorer.
Are we talking about 2.1 ROMs here? Or any ROM? Because I have yet to find a 2.1 ROM with the speed of a 1.6 ROM.

I have been running SuperD 1.9.3 for a week after using SuperE for a month. I honestly notice absolutely no difference in speeds averaged over time. Some tasks that are slow in Donut (web browsing) are faster in Eclair (task switching) and vice versa. I don't generally play any games or do any CPU intensive stuff, so I can't comment there, but for basic, everyday tasks, they both seem to perform about the same.
Battery life is the only thing that keeps me from using Eclair full time.
Title says it all. I currently use xtr rom because I wanted a pretty vanilla experience and speed without breaking things. I now want to move to a totally nonsense based rom. Preferably a Cyanogen based one, but I'm not sure which one is most worry free, like everything works, mms, gps, rotation and accelorometer. etc. Thanks, and sorry that I can't really figure this out my self, i just thought it would be better to hear from those who have acctually tried the roms.
The best way to figure out which one is best for you is to use them. Try it for a few days and then try another. No one can tell you what you will prefer.
erislightingbolt ....by conap if im not mistaken. Its definitely perfected enough for daily use.
I use CM6 every day without any problems, texting works, wifi works, gps works, calls work lol I haven't come accross anything that would stop me from using it every day.
Thanks everyone, I'm giving CyanogenELB a shot right now.
Please report back with a "review".
Some of how we like/dislike a ROM is subjective, but your experience can be helpful to others.

I'm using Tazzpatriot's cm6 and it is perfectly fine for everyday. I pull 5.1 on linpack with no setcpu even installed. The stock camera doesn't have preview but it shoots perfectly fine pics. Gps has been a bit sketchy as of latest build but I think tazz may have a fix for that on the way. I love the speed and battery life of it. I am running launcher pro and I popped for the newly offered plus version to help with development and for the widgets he is including. I never have lag and mms works great.
This thread belongs in general. Mods, please move it.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
Well I think its a great rom, highest LINPACK score I have seen on my eris yet, but I get this strange lag while scrolling and for some reason it actually feels slower than xtr. I think I'm going to give CM6 a shot.
So, I restored my NANDroid backup of xtr and it strangely feels faster. I hate the HTC dialer, People, and messaging app tho. I think I'm just going to wait until the Froyo Cyanogen roms get more refined and move to one of those. Thanks Everyone.
Tazz's CM6
I've been using Tazz's CM6 with Froyo. Definitely very solid. I use set CPU to 768, JIT, and 24 Heap. With that I get up to 5.2 MFlops. With Skyfire browser I get flash videos too. No more slow phone problems and no more Sense. I love ADW, the dialer, automatic application upgrades, etc, etc.
Most of the Froyo/CM6 roms run well, but are missing basic things like camera, tethering,etc. For a great, fully working rom I would suggest ErisLightningBolt. It is a port of Cyanogen 5 (2.1) and runs great. I get great batttery life and the camera, usb tethering, and Wifi tethering all work great.
Im on CM6 and loving it. It's very smooth and snappy, battery life is good, and it looks nice as well coming from my stock 2.1 setup. My only complaint is the issue with the led light staying on after charging or USB hook up, but I'm using noti led as a fix for that and im using magic cam for a camera fix until those issues are resolved, but overall CM6 has treated me very well!
Ok, well now you all got me really craving to try a froyo rom. CM6 or kaosFroyo? Mostly concerned with stability.
I'm talking only by my own experience, CM6. I tried both (last version I used of K.F. was 21) and I've had such great results with CM6 and very mixed results with K.F. but that's just me.
I run kaos Frayo V24 and its amazingly fast and no force closes only thing not in this for us the camera do t have a preview( use camera magic from market) and flash isn't there yet, other than that kaos V24 is fastest smoothest Frayo Tom out there that I've tried and slot of people.check the kaos Frayo thread out it's awesome.

I forget what exactly, but something about it works that DOESN'T work in KaosFroyo that is necessary for me for a daily ROM. I'll edit this post if I remember it.
All of the devs do a spectacular job on their ROMs though. I would venture a bet that KaosFroyo is a much cleaner, better put together ROM as a result of Kaos's fantastic understanding of Android and how general computer stuff works.

MiUi is AOSP based. It's a super lightweight UI. And you're overclocked. so it's going to be blazing fast.
I've said it before and i'm sure i'll say it again. Sense is a Sumo Wrestler in a room full of Super Models. It's a bloated OS, and that will slow things down naturally. Plus the fact that we are only running at 1.0Ghz will slow it down some more. If you've flashed everything and you have a decent amount of memory left. You are about as fast as one can get. I'm using the 3.0 Sense 1.0 and i'm pleased with it. It's not Cyanogen when it comes to speed but the smoothness has won me over. It's kinda like going from Porsche to Lincoln. the performance is lower but it make the ride alot more enjoyable.

LOL Seeing you stand up for a non-AOSP ROM is little weird. I feel like it's April Fool's or something. Anyway, to the OP, eventually a stable OC kernel will be made, but you'll lose some battery life. To me, the extra couple milliseconds to open apps is worth it. Let's face it, this is basically an Alpha port, and my goodness it's sweet already. Damn fine job they did. Other than the weird choppy application launcher, I couldn't be more pleased.

Dont forget 3.0 is meant for the 1GHz or 1.2GHz "Dual-core" phones, so it probably would be kinda slow on the MT4G, the 2nd gen dragon isn't very old though like the hummingbird.

Hi guys,
It's been a week since I installed CM7.0.3. I think I can write down pros and cons of both roms. By the way I tried dk and joker but didn't find them stable.
Here it goes;
Speed:
CM7 hands down. Butter smooth.
Stock rom isn't too bad but lags 0.2 seconds when opening stuff which is a tad annoying. Also laggy with angry birds. (i don't play games, just tried it for testing)
Stability:
CM7 is good but not as stable as stock froyo. Froyo keeps runing and running. CM7 has crashed 3 times in a week.
Battery life:
I am getting 30 hours with CM7. 55 hours with stock froyo. (same cpu speed)
Common Apps:
This is where stock rom wins as well. CM7 Gmaps and Gtalk fonts really suck.
It may not be a big deal for some users but for me it is a big problem as I use these apps at least 5 times a day.
With stock rom skype is unusable. CM7 wins here if you use hands free option.
Radio: (reception)
I can't tell the difference to be fair. wifi, gps, cell. they all feel the same. Stock gps is definitely more battery friendly.
Customization:
CM7 wins again. Stock froyo is not customizable unless you install shed loads of apps on it.
Conclusion:
CM7 is like an aston martin. If you get one you'll have a big grin on your face. On the other hand you'll spend a lot of time waiting for a recovery van on the side of a motorway.
Then stock froyo must be a good old toyota corolla. It always gets you there. Not in style though...
Haha, good comparison.
I would say battery life is pretty similar, not any significant gains over stock rom though I will tone down the cpu frequency further in standby as I have noticed CM7 is better in this aspect.
I would agree with the majority of your comparison though, nice balanced review.
I get good battery life from CM7, because I use SetCPU and smartly set profiles. (low battery=low cpu clock, screen off=low-ish cpu clock...)

I experienced some problems with setcpu. On low cpu clock setting, when I receive a call it takes 3 rings for the phone to realize it is receiving a call. Which makes me miss lots of calls.
That's a drawback of setting the min speed too low. Which is why I keep it at 245.
BTW, it is not recommended to use SetCPU anymore, because it may clash and cause issues with the default CM Settings. Keeping the governor at Smartass under CM Settings, is equivalent to having a profile in SetCPU for Screen Off.
i like CM7 very much, but with FroYo my battery (with wifi or data on all the time, and juicedeffender) was last for 2 days... now, with wifi (not all day) its like 1 day max.... very disappointing... :\
Nice comparison, I mostly agree to this. I haven't noticed any crashes so far (been using for ~a week now) and my sd card loads faster on reboot.
I really like using CM7, and there's no going back to stock froyo.
I'm running CM7 nightly for quite some time now and I can say it works even better.
Running it overclocked at all times, lasts a day or two depending on how much I stress the phone.
As for camera I flashed the MIUI camera which is a lot better then stock CM7 one, image quality and speed of the app is marvelous.
Just like you said, it's highly customizable; I wouldn't go back to the stock one anytime soon

You can say what you want, but for me, even stock rom is faster than CM7, especially in settings menu (scrolling), but of course applications is a different thing (if you have enough patience to find one)..
CM7 looks dull and takes the punch out of user experience.
Battery life is not a issue if it is more than a day.
Ultimately what sells is user experience and hence hTC Sense wins.
you can't compare stock froyo with aosp gingerbread

Sorry, can't agree with that at all.
You just need to run a benchmark app to see cm7 is way faster than stock even without over clocking.
Not sure what you mean by the second part of your post.

In a word;
Crap
I find CM nightly builds more stable than the 7.0.3
