The Nexus Rom Bible - Nexus One General

The Nexus Rom Bible​
A Big THANKS to Royalknight6190 for making the Original Rom Bible for G1/MyTouch. ​
If This Info was helpful to you, then please Donate to Royalknight6190, because he needs the money for his son. Here is his link.​
If you also want to help me out then look at my sig for my YouTube and Website ​
For a great Release Database Comparison, where you can view the Roms side by side Check this link out : http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_release_matrix.asp?phone=nexus
First I want to thank every Dev for everything they do : Cyanogen, MicroMod, Rodriguez, Amon RA, just to name a few, I know there are many others out there that Im forgetting to name.
Each Rom is Broken Up by OS Version and has its last update date. If you have any questions ask in the correct post. Also I have added a review section where Others or Myself rate each Rom from 1-5 (1 = Worst 5 = Excellent). These reviews are our opinions and how they worked on our devices with the settings we had at the time. Thank You and Enjoy.
What is Root? Why would I want to Root my Android Device? What does it mean? -

Very nice thread! Great idea.

Nice thread.. thanks mate.

Do you have plans to rate any more of these ROMs on the 1 to 5 scale that a few like Cyanogen are? Even though it's subjective it's really useful to get an opinion from a consistent observer
Thanks for the directory regardless; this guide is a good starting point.

Thanks for the comment, nice to see people are actually looking at this thread.
Ya, i do plan to put in more and more review, but the thing is that i havent tested them all, just a few, because the Nexus I have isnt mine,
I would like to encourage people to PM me and let me know on some rom reviews and i will defiantly add them to the directory

well now that I have gotten my N1 back, I will do just that

ever going to update?

Great job on this guide. Is there a Rom out there that is as close to Enomther's but on Gingerbread? I am mostly looking for Trackball wake, 720p, good battery life and stability.

ought to be stickied
i didn't look into all of it since i have had phone for two years and flashed most of the roms
but excellent and recommended reading for new owners/flashers

List of ROM's + MODS, KERNELS, RADIOS, HBOOT and MORE -- For the HTC Incredible

* These ROM's are listed in no particular order besides by category, they are just all here for you to see and choose for yourself. Check the threads to find out any bugs or problems certain ROM's may have. Some are optimized for speed, others for ease of use, features, while some are simply genius.
If you're new to custom ROM's don't get discouraged after a single bad experience with a particular ROM, I can almost guarantee you that you will find one that will blow away the Stock ROM to your liking.
Too many to choose from? Ask around in the Q & A section to get opinions for what ROM is best for you.
We love our developers here and hope everyone looking to change their incredible up will find a ROM (or ROM's ) that they love.

fantastic list, thank you
Looks good. I didn't go over it with a fine comb, but I did notice that you left out Redemption Rom, which is different than Redemptive rEVOlution. And Tiamat is a kernel, not a ROM.
Thanks for this, very helpful. You might want to break the HTC Sense sections up into Sense UI and Z Ports, since there is an important difference between how the ROM's function
EDIT: Mods should sticky this and/or merge with the "Useful Threads" sticky because frankly the current sticky is awful and no where close to being up to date

Done!
Also added "Carbonite Fusion v.4" ROM and organized the 1.0 and 2.0 Sense.
This is great... can we get it stickied? I remember seeing this a while back and then it disappeared. Good resource for people who like me that swap roms every week
FWIW, IncROM has been updated to 1.4.
Great List and Very Helpful! I thought Redemptive REVOlution a ported Sense ROM from the EVO?

Some Additions
Wonderful iist, and great that they finally made it a sticky. Just a few items to add to the list, possibly:
IncDoes's Desire HD (I know it is a little outdated, but it is still great)
MyTouch Beta v3
And, possibly a link to the thread with the RA recovery images?
All in all, this is an incredible (yes, pun intended) list.

It has the EVO framework but Sense UI is the same version as the rest in that category which is why I left it there and not in the ports category. This is kind of a weird ROM that doesn't fit well for either category but I felt it had more of the same attributes that the Stock Sense had than the newer Z sense ports.

Also, IncDoes Desire HD was abandoned a while ago, the Desire Z ports have more features, less bugs, and are more stable. I don't think anyone still uses the DHD version.
I've added a few.
A good 1/3'rd of that list were ones that were already listed here.
Many of them had issues to where I can't put them up because of dead links, or because there was no thread/pics/description, just a file for the ROM.
But the ones I could add I did.
Please change "LiquidMetal" to "LiquidMetal / LiquidLight".
Nice list. Thanks!

Curious what criteria you use to evaluate popularity.
Based on the list of ported ROM's I may as well quit even though I have had thousands of downloads.

Combination of OP date, thread views and replies. I put the list together hastily and have been tweaking things to it since I posted it like 2 days ago based on suggestions.
>>
Well.. I decided the rankings are not a good idea as there's no way to really check peoples ratings on each ROM and no way to see how many people have downloaded each one. So the rankings were just a bad idea in the first place.
I did also notice the Sense ports were poorly ranked, but I think it's best just to leave them all here and let people decide instead of popularity rank having any sort of influence.

[ROM[potential release]--WOULD YOU WANT THIS ROM?---

Just made the jump to my DHD from my HD2, was cheffing for the HD2 for 18 months so thought i would start again LOL
i have made myself a build, was wondering if anyone would be interested in it if i share
its going to be for the not particularly experimental people who need and want a really stable, stock(ish) CM rom
Froyo CM 6.1.3, uber stable
Really clean, no junk apps at all
Several performance tweaks, quadrant ~ 2300
Standard CM kernel (until i build my own)
thoughts please
G
gosh darnit i have put this in the wrong section, would a MOD mind miving it to the rom development section please
Unable to comply mate as any "ROM coming soon" thread is not allowed. Feel to post your downloadable file on this thread, PMme and "then" I'll send your thread to the right area.
Cheers,
M_T_M
PS: Do not post a thread over in development 'till your ROM is ready to be released, please.
No problem, on thinking about it it is probably better here until I release anyway!
How about cm7 with fixes and all since cn7 looks a helluva lot better than froyo

Yeah man,MrYuiM is right.Gingerbread is a lot better and more nice looking.Froyo AOSP is ugly butt.Plus,I think you should release it anyway;New roms are always welcome around here!

I appreciate you've probably put a lot of work into this for your own use, but all your really proposing is CM 6.1.3 with all the crap removed and some tweaks thrown in, I agree with the latter posters that you'd better serve the community by getting your development prowess behind teamdouche in the push towards CM7 stable than releasing this.
already got my GB rom well underway, just finalizing it really (it will be a direct port of CM7 RC2 at the moment)

Hmm, he might be lightening, we never know. What we really do need is a CM7 ROM with Lee/Mike/Segio's performance and tweaks included. Now that is a ROM from heaven But Lewarne, your work is much appreciated
i shall say nothing other than let my reputation with HD2 roms speak for itself
i wont release it for a while though
Patience is a virtue I'll look at your HD2 ROMS
i have to say though im not that impressed with CM7+2.3.3
i find it quite unstable (tried lots of the rom ports on here) and a little laggy compared to froyo.
eg, im making the same basic rom (same apps, general system tweaks etc)
CM6+froyo - quadrant of 3300 @ 1.5ghz
CM7+gb - quadrant of [email protected] 1.5ghz
Now i know that quadrant is not a good benchmark, and is highly vulnerable to synthetic changes. However, nearly a thousnd points is a lot of variance, so i ran a linpack run on each, taking an average of 5 runs
CM6+froyo - 49 mflops @ 1.5ghz
CM7+gb - 45 mflops @ 1.5ghz
that is again quite a large disparity! visually, i actually prefer froyo as i find GB a bit too dark, and its certainly mature and stable. Even checked out the battery drain on my froyo rom, getting around 10ma or less on idle consistently, and thats with the standard CM kernel !
i dunno, would you guys at least like to try.look at my froyo build? im much more confident in it than i am GB at the moment.......
If u can get one of the recent battery drain fixes for cyanogenmod in ur Rom I certainly would love to try ur Rom, performance tweaks in combination with battery fixes sounds good to me!
Looking forwArd to seeing ur work in action
i was living quite fine with froyo, before flash cm7, some tweaks are really hard to leave. specially long press in search button to open an app and long press in back button to close an app... and beside it, i'm getting 3~5 mAh of battery draining with mad patch in gb and with stock cm6 kernel it is 12~14...
these are the main 'problem' with cm froyo build for me! =oP
i agree with you that cm7 is really unstable when compared to froyo, cm7 has wi-fi problems, gps problem, rotate problems, radio problem... quite annoiyng to be fixing point by poiint.
if you realese your rom, certainly i'll flash, but i think your knowledge would be more appreciated fixing issues from cm7. =o)
I am sure the inspire 4G community would appreciate it as well .

I see where you're coming from, but also remember the drivers for the GPU for gingerbread haven't been released, nor have any of the other drivers I think. Maybe this could affect performance as the old ones are in use?

I know it's been maybe only 1 week with you, but how do you find it?!
How it is compared to HD2 in terms of build quality?!
To be honest i've been reading a bit in here and i'm not assured about it
It looks DHD have many build issues (without mentioning the expected bad battery issues)!
It looks it have issues with:
-GPS fix!
-camera lens misaligned!
-battery cover and sim cover misplaced or bumping out!
-dust under screen (which means unsealed gaps!)
-died pixels!
-...
It's really freaking me out! If i haven't touchscreen issues with HD2 i wouldn't sincerely think of switching!

Yo just to jump in. I have no problems with any of those, but I haven't really used the GPS and if there is a problem I do what many others do and install the GPS Status Toolbox Build quality for me is perfect and it looks smexy
Any updates mate?

ROM reviews

Please vote this thread to be in the front page, as i think this is important... thank you!
i'm making this thread for the people that say "hey! lets see some user opinions..." those users are right... most of the devs put "super smooth, ultra fast, smooth as butter, bla bla bla... some of them are right, some of them are way over reacting with the speed saying "i'm sorry i was drunk when i made this ROM" (no offence devs), as some ROMs are just too slow to work on...
Virtuous Unity: I've spent 2 hours downloading this ROM, and spent 30 minutes seeing it, then ending up flashing back to another ROM... the lag was too much... i didn't install anything, and my cellphone was lagging like a celeron CPU running Crysis 2
MIUI.us: this ROM is best for its performance, stability, and look... its really the best in performance comparing it to full ROMs (not bare-bone ROMs)... spent 2-3 days with it... great ROM... Recommended for basic "rooters" for the people who are new to rooting stuff, flashing ROMs, etc...
CM7.1 (stock): this AOSP ROM is good for people who want performance, look, design, and multi-tasking... although there are mods to make it even better... I recommend this ROM for new people who want to get familiar with "tweaks" and stuff...
Virtuous G-Lite: this ROM combines AOSP power, and HTC's apps... its super fast, super smooth, but lacks of customization comparing it to ILWT CM7... spent litterally 10 minutes with it, then came back to ILWT CM7... so its not a big review... btw, i see virtuous i think sense ROM, i don't know why this happens to be AOSP...
Virtuous Sense 2.0: this ROM is the best sense ROM yet, it may be offering that old sense 2.1, but its proven that htc desire z will never run sense 3.x smoothly, without some tweaks made... But this ROM offers sense look, as well as moderate performance comparing it to other ROMs... Still, its so much better than stock unrooted ROM... Clocked at 998MHz, it has a score of 2604 in benchmark (AnTuTu)... Until now... Its been less than one day that i'm using it, it just sucks the bettery really hard... Battery just went down from 100 to 90 in 1 hour standby.... It maybe me... But thats my "adventure"... Lacks customization compared to ILWT CM7... Someone once told me: "dude! People buy HTC for HTC sense... Theres no point of buying HTC and ending up replacing sense by AOSP... That's breaking the whole point of HTC cellphones"... And you know what? He's right!
ILWT CM7 (current) : i have tried all of the other ROMs and ended up reverting back to this bad boy for it is the best ROM/MOD i have ever seen... clocked at 1GHz, this ROM runs smoothly... everything is customizable... every pixel... best ROM yet! I ran a benchmark (AnTuTu) in it and got a score of 2950... and i had a 51 seconds boot time the good thing is that it's a full ROM, yet fast... you don't get that in every ROM...
binDROID sense 3.5 : without any tweaks, this ROM is awesome in look, but its a total fail in performance (talking WITHOUT tweaks), after i flashed the ROM, i rebooted, waited for about 5 minutes to let the phone finish his work (that's a lot!) I thought after 5 mins the sense UI could be a little smooth (at least smoother than virtuous), turns out, this ROM has even more lag than virtuous... What did the dev think when he implemented some graphics tweaks, that actually killed performance? one of those tweaks were this:
when i go from window to window (ie in the settings) i get massive lag, why? I noticed that the transition between every screen is actually a glow of everything written... So, eveyrthing typed in the previous window glows, then goes to the other window...
I might have to do some tweaks to it... Then, hopefully, post a good review... Benchmark (AnTuTu): 2598 (that's bad!)... used it for 1 day... then reflashed ILWT CM, the big daddy
BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid: Words can't describe how awesome this ROM is... All other sense 3.5 ROMs say "smooth, fast, performance"... But this ROM actually is smooth and fast... It offers all the good looks of sense, yet good performance... Definitely better than binDROID ROM... Got a benchmark of 2616... Which is slighlty better than virtuous... spent 2 days with it... and then back to ILWT... i'll probably melt my emmc chip soon this is one of my best recommended sense ROMs here...
RCMix sense 3.5 blue edition: although it has a really bad benchmark (2571) its not as laggy as all other sense 3.x ROMs... strange? I'd say... Even without any tweaks, i get 100MB free of RAM... Thats good for multi tasking its heavily themed to provide a tasty look... its a medium performance ROM... i can't wait for more development to this ROM
MikRunny Sense 3.5 : This is without a doubt one of the fastest sense ROM i have ever seen... Proof? This ROM score 2710 in the benchmark... No lag whatsoever... Whats good is that it's look is original... The look is not modded, but looks like stock sense 3.5... And that battery bar tweak, nice touch... Been waiting for it... I say good work for the dev... Keep up!
Although i'm saying this ROM is cool, this ROM is fast... i keep reverting to ILWT because of the speed, all sense ROMs lags and freezes... some are better than others... but at the end, AOSP rules them all!
Virtuous Quattro: three letters... ICS... its android 4.0.3 ported from htc desire s, although its in beta stage, camera doesn't work, hardware keyboard backlight has some bugs... it score 2239 in AnTuTu benchmark (thats... good, for a beta...) it has the stock launcher (no trebuchet)... its smooth, fast, and full of animations... nice job devs! blew my mind! this ROM have some huge activity going on... devs are working hard to improve it, and makes me wanna learn all about making a ROM... awesome!... its not stable and i don't recommend it as daily driver ROM...
EDIT: i want to note that the quattro review was on BETA 1... some fixes has been done since beta 1... cam now works
COREDROID Desire Z: while offering the sweet sense 3.5 and android gingerbread 2.3.5 its not so fast, not so smooth, and its really, really unstable... (Dunno why) every app i enter force closes... Even native apps... Scoring 2656 in the benchmark (AnTuTu) its somewhat bad... But better than some sense 3.x ROMs
Virtuous affinity: FINALLY, after months of torturing, and frying emmc chips, i finally switch to this ROM... and i must say that this was the WORST ROM that i've tried... sorry devs, lots of devs have put effort on it... but come on! "ultra smooth rosie" is way off... i know you can't wait for benchmarks results... but before that i want to tell you that when i was making the benchmark, the phone shut down and wouldn't turn on.... so i took the battery off... waited for about 5 mins.... tried to turn it on, and it didn't... i thought it was a brick (dunno why!) but i abused the "bug" in CWM, and connected the phone into the charger, it booted to recovery, then i restored my freshly made ILWT backup.... so i never did make a successfull benchmark... seriously, it sucks.... but that was just my experience..... maybe i wasn't lucky enough... maybe
Android revolution HD 7.0 : offering stock sense 3.5 look, feel, usability... All those are stock.... And full hardware acceleration support, it is blazing fast, super cool, awesome looking, and stable... Enough chit chat.... AnTuTu benchmark scored a whopping 2839!! I'm begining to loose hope in AnTuTu because no ROM could challenge ILWT's benchmark, specifically sense based ones.... thats my new best sense 3.x ROM
InsertCoin ROM: as awesome as this ROM is, it has some weird things going on... I had problems with the superuser app forrce closing and keep telling me it needs su binary update, when no update needed really... Another thing was the running processes in the settings-applications... It says its using 50MB of RAM... JUST 50? It can't be...
I know this ROM is kinda dead, but wait... It scored an amazing 2663 AnTuTu benchmark.... Better than virtuous sense 2 which people are obsessed with.... Its so smooth, fast, multitasking is great with it... People complained about battery, but after updating su, its so much better... Awesome sense 2 ROM
LeeDROID sense 3: you won't believe how much this ROM scored... It scored a frikin' 2866!! (even higher than ARHD) While offering stock sense 3, it has some awesome tweaks... And i like the speed of it... Strangely, i find the normal tweaks better than the ultra smooth rosie tweak... It has 150MB of free RAM while using the multitasking option in the supercharger script... But one problem is that it has major launcher restarts that the dev didn't solve it while installing the ROM... I managed to manually put "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" code into the /data/local.prop file to make it stuck in RAM... But other than that AWESOME ROM!!
EDIT: been having launcher crashes lately, so i moved back to ILWT (again!)
BeatMod Supremacy: It offers the great ICS operating system and the light sense 3.6 launcher... Its strangely responsive comparing it to AOSP ICS... Htc really made a good job... Other than sense it has the usual ICS bugs (cam doesn't work at all... Some bluetooth bugs...) But hey! Its a beta, its good for a beta... I'm keeping it as dd for now... AnTuTu benchmark scored 3185
other users ROM Opinion:
Nagash91​
My review are based on comparison with original HTC sense ROM from HTC, updated to gingerbread and sense 2.1.
I give the vote "7" to all features in standard DZ rom (stability obviously = 10) and from that I started to make comparison with other roms.
MY VOTE SYSTEM:
- battery life = .. well.. battery life of the phone using the ROM !
- reactivity = response capabilities in any situation. Vote down if there is some lag in some standard situation (make a call, listening miusic while sending sms or looking in contacts and so on). This is very important in some extreme situation, for example when you are late and you have to do something with your phone, like check some information by a site and text a friend in a short time, you are under pressure and if your phone does not have a good response you go mad.
- multitasking = capabilities of using a lot of services and heavy programs switching from one to another without lags (more free ram = more multitasking capabilities)
- functionality = useful and cool stuff that the rom provides. For example CM provides a lot of useful stuffs like power menù widget customizable, power menù statusbar, DSP Manager, font size editable (with spare parts), mms phone and contacts apks customizable, volume-buttons-skip-song function and so on.
- stability = The vote is 10 if the rom is STABLE. The vote falls if the rom suffers of random reboot, or force closes.
STOCK HTC SENSE GingerBread (DZ Shipping Rom updated)
Good sense rom. Standard on dz.
battery life: 7
reactivity: 7
multitasking: 7
functionality: 7
stability: 10
based: sense 2.1
Android: 2.3.??? (don't remember)
-------------------------------
CM Nightly 263
Great rom for functionality, thanks to cm team, but there are some CM based rom more optimized than original CM!
But this is a great rom, all is working, you do not need to personalize, hack or flashing nothing else over rom and google apps for optimum results.
battery life: 8
reactivity: 8
multitasking: 8
functionality: 9
stability: 10
based: cyanogenMod
android: 2.3.7
----------------------------
EliteMod 1111227
Excellent ROM: Is the cyanogenMod based ROM that I LOVE. Have more battery life than cm nightly/7.1, more free ram (-> more multitasking ability) and more reactivity.
It has also the MIUI camera that I love.
If you are looking to CM features and TMobile AOSP lightness, this rom is for you!
I don't like the graphic personalization in launcher pro, but it can be edited easily.
battery life: 8.5
reactivity: 8.5
multitasking: 9
functionality: 9+
stability: 10
based: cyanogenMod
android: 2.3.7
------------------------------
ILWT CM/ 258
Great ROM for customization
The votes do not have much validity with this rom, because I changed the original settings using virtuous OC daemon and other stuffs.
BTW I was using ILWT kernel.
This rom is the CM rom that allows you to customize everything easily, with a simple text file. It has also a new kernel by ILWT.
battery life: 8
reattività: 8+
multitasking: 8+
functionality: 9+
stability: 10
CUSTOMIZABLE
based: cyanogenMod
android: 2.3.7
------------------------------
GLite 2.0.1
The BEST ROM with standard android GUI (no HTC customization), but suffers from a lack of features! (because it is standard AOSP android, so no power widget menù, no personalization in mms / telephone / contacts /camera apks.. ecc..)
It is the lightest ROM, the best for battery life, the best for multitasking that I have ever seen!
battery life: 9
reactivity: 9
multitasking: 9.5
functionality: 5
stability: 10
based: TMOBILE AOSP
android: 2.3.4
------------------------------
Mini MI 1.12.23
Good MIUI rom! better than original MIUI rom because is lighter and have more functionality.
MIUI roms don't have good capabilities for multitasking.. the program are heavy for ram consumption, for example only the music program use more than 20mb of ram vs 10 of AOSP roms. BTW the programs have beautiful visuals, and have more functionalities than CM programs.
battery life: 7
reactivity: 7
multitasking: 6.5
functionality: 9+
stability: 9
based: MIUI 11.12.23
android: 2.3.7
For now it's all. I have tried a lot of other roms (sense based) but I have to decide the votes and what to write. I'll put in some days.
( I'll treat the physical appearance of the thread in the future, if people like this idea! )
thank you for reading this... if you have any comments, feel free to post... i maybe wrong in something... but that's just my opinion...
future reviews: none... for now

Posting quadrant results (an outdated benchmark... VERY outdated) should be frowned upon. Get something modern like Antutu or Nenamark...

I like a fast ROM with rock solid reliability and no glitches or force closes and everything works as it should + crazy long battery life!!
I have tried every ROM in the OP's original post, but my all time favorite and daily driver is G-lite 1.07 with some additional optimizations of my own.

Any sense 3.5 is not smooth on its own, but you need to apply mods like Rom cleaner and supercharger script, swap partition and after applying all these mods, I've ran all 3.5 roms like virtuous affinity and rcmix3d butter smooth.
Talking of unity, I've ran it without lag without any modifications.

Good thread.
Just wondering, in your opinion which of these roms you reckon meet the following criteria:
CPU: clocked to 1ghz
Nice graphic design - nothing bare boned otherwise I'll get bored of it very quickly
Leaves a bit of juice in the battery after a long day
(I realized that increasing the CPU and asking for a rom with nice graphics is not going to so much for the battery but thought I'll throw it out there anyway)
The reason I asked is that after nearly a year I'm getting bored of my HTC Desire Z which is currently running stock gingerbread: 2.3.3 and Sense: 2.1.
So I would like to put a new rom onto it based on the above criterias.
Also this will be new to me as I have never installed a custom made rom on the phone before. So yeah, I'm a noob.
cheers and apologies if I'm highjacking this thread....

i recommend CM7 (stable... NO nightlies) for you... since you are new at this: CM7.1 (not the nightly) is the stable ROM, fast, almost looking good (you can get themes)... ILWT CM7 is a nightly ROM (nightlies are like "beta"... may not be stable) this ROM is a litttle better than CM7.1... it has an overclockable kernel for you to have a 1GHz CPU clock (like mine)
EDIT: added the boot time of ILWT CM7

exactly, that is why it is lightning fast and has mucho free RAM and yet has unbelievable battery life - other ROMs compromise one or more of these!
I think I can say I've tried EVERY G2 Rom for a year now, and ILWT is the gotdamn bees knees. When I found out that tsubus was contributing (albeit minimally) to the ICS projects, I sent him a pm to let him know I'm glad he is a part of it.
If you're going to post benchmark scores, at least do it for all the roms listed.
That being said,I just scored 2732 @ 1GHz on antutu using bulletproof miui so I'm not really sure why you even list the numbers if at least one of the other roms seems to beat it. Albeit not by much, but still, if you're posting those numbers as proof that it's the fastest ROM, you should show numbers for everyone listed there..
Just a thought

those numbers doesn't proove anything... i posted those numbers just as info.... because i spent alot of time with it, so i'm giving all info i can give to it... plus 2732 isn't that big of a difference... ILWT is just mire customizable than MIUI, more professional... at the cost of 3 points though
EDIT: btw, i'm not posting benchmarks for other ROMs, i didn't benchmark it and i'm not flashing these ROMs again just to run a benchmark... if you want guys, give me your benchmark numbers for the other ROMs and i'll post them... all i need is one number for each ROM

Which ROMS would you recommend?

Hello all,
no, this is not another "which is a best ROM" topic I know the best ROM is stock
I recently rooted again my DHD and started playing with ROMs. I would like to try some different ROMs - of every "kind", i.e. no need to try all ICS Sense ROMS, since they're all similar (1st ROM i tried was Revolution and I couldn't tell the difference between it and stock)
So, my question is which ROMS should I try that are different - like unique have different feel to them, and pretty stable? I'd like one MIUI, one Sense 4, cyanogen etc? (is that all?)
thanx,
D.
These kind of posts are becoming viral lately.
Can't understand why.
Do you people read, at least, the other posts titles already in here?
MIUI v4, CM7/9/10 (Gingerbread, ICS & Jelly Bean respectively) BlackIce1.60 is my daily, Virtuous Infinity (Sense 4 with working Camera)

Well my question was (as I stated) NOT which is the best ROM. I just wanted some experienced users to tell me which kinds of ROMs there are, I'm not gonna try all of them. That is what the boards are for, aren't they? To exchange tips and experiences... If you mind, why don't you just skip the post?
NeroXL sense 3.6 ROM by Paschal.
Omnivision sensors working after flashing the fix. And better battery life. Personally like sense 3.6 more than sense 4.

I am a big fan of Randoms Jelly Bean rom currently in beta9. The features blow ICS out of the water in my opinion. I love it =) It's worth a look.
I'm running RandomBlame's JellyBean beta 9 with no problems and I'm loving it currently. Ice Cold Sandwich is my favorite ICS ROM. I didn't find a sense ROM I liked. Revolution was laggy and not my cup of tea. I'm pretty happy with basic android anyway.

Except that there arent that many roms to try?
There's 1 jelly bean ROM - jelly time
1 miui ICS ROM - MIUI.us
1 Aosp ROM - existz aospx
2 AOKP ROMS Paranoid android /ice cold
1 sense 4 rom. By virtuous
1 sense 4a rom.
All these have a pretty different experience though.I'm not sure if its wrong to create such posts, I just think it would be better/more efficient to just check put the ROM threads yourself. They probably more detailed than the info you can find here anyway
Virtuous Infinity v1.31.0 Alpha2 :laugh::good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792074&page=112
I would recommend
Nero XL (sense 3.6/ICS. Camera works for all sensors, very very stable, but pure stock)
MIUI RD (Or any of the gingerbread ones, I didn't think the ICS one was worth it)
Energy (of all the GB/Sense 3.5 ROMs I stayed with this for 2 weeks, pretty damn long for a flashaholic like me).
Other ROMs I don't use a lot, but I hear good things from/I've used with success but I didn't keep: Runny Xtreme Surprise, ARHD, Ice Cold Sandwich, Redemption, Virtuous Sense 4/ICS, Jellytime.
BTW, check this thread out for a speed test of different ROMs. All creds to Apuabest
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791803
My chioce was : IceColdSandwich, Virtuous Infinity, CyanogenMod 7.2 NIGHTIES (all was ok, best rom, imho, but i like ICS UI style), and JellyTime (some bugs, but battery life is amazing).
There is no sense 3 roms, because I hate HTC Sense 3 UI; I can't help witch choosing sense 3 rom, sorry.
Types of ROMs
This is my list:
1. Existz AOSP IceCreamSandwich for AOSP ROMs
2. Virtuous Infinity v1.31.0 Alpha2 for SENSE 4 ROMs
Existz ROM is bug free (at least for my experience)
The Virtuous ROM is very beautiful (SENSE 4 is fantastic), but for DHD bluetooth audio doesn't work during phone calls.
XGS series by krisjanne, it's very good ROM

Best ROM and Kernel

Hello guys I'm new here,i get this device 2 days ago(coming from HTC Pico development)...I want your opinion for the fastest ROM,with a nice battery life and UI .Kernel too !
Regards !
i don't know about speed but if you want good battery life and stability, you should use original samsung gb roms like jw1 or newer (my choice is jw1 rom with jvt modem and aosp lock). Then use cf-root for rooting and remove bloatwares. A little advice, don't waste your time with ics or jb developments, because you don't seem to looking for only the fastest rom.

Test yourself
I've tested almost 10 ROMS, and in my opinion, test yourself.
For me, based on JB are good but battery life very poor.
Based on ICS, the best at the moment. My favorites:
1. Realrom v5: Very good battery, smooth, but not very good for playing.
2. SlimRom: very nice, very smooth, no lags but poor battery.
3. Biohazard 7: very very fast, but.... buggie! Problem of restarting.
4. My favorite: SmoothieICS: fast, vary good battery (2 days using greenpower), and perfect games. Still in beta version.
Hope it help you!

is anyone using one of these roms?
download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=galaxysmtd
Why are these not listed in the development area here on xda, what is the difference?

Those are the Cyanogenmod ROMs, and they are listed in the dev section, look for threads started by pawtip. CM10.1 pre-release thread is on page one, CM10 thread is on page two at the time of my posting.

Thanks a lot!
I was confused as I couldn't find any references to the cyanogenmod.org site. On the dev page 1 there is the thread
[AOSP][ROM][4.2.1] JellyBean 4.2 PREVIEW (20121205)
wich is AOSP using cyanoges galaxy s tree, but, well, not cynogenmod...
And indeed, on page 2 there is
[NIGHTLY][ROM][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 for Samsung Galaxy S
The download link reveals cyanogenmod.org
Anyway, how is helly bean? Hasn't been mentioned, yet!?!
I am about to install this one, but have never tried it before, though.
Patience

Wait a few days - or if we are lucky a few hours - then I think pawitp will create what you (and more) are looking for! :good:
I expect something like this: [NIGHTLY][ROM][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Galaxy S

Helly Bean already is 4.2.1:
hellybean.com/I900042.html
But the majorety goes for CM instead of Helly Bean?
CM10
AOSP 4.2.1 (current)
above rom is awesome what I using.
hellybean and the devil kernel
there are also a 4.2 version which works great
Slim Bean is perfect for customizing..But not for performance i think..
The best combo is Elite's JB builds+latest semaphore kernel so far ..(I think).
But you can try it! I love Slim Bean just for tweaks ... The best one is "high end effects" for me
When you're scrolling not. drawer down,background's dim is channging... Gettin' dark just like Gnexus/Galaxy SIII or other devices which got offical JB !
Also an advice ;
If you wanna long lifetime battery best one is JW8 GB ROM
For me latest CM10 Nightly with Devil Kernel and maybe Lazeroid script works very smooth. No lags in GTA:VC on mid/high settings

Is CM10 better than SlimBean 3.1 in game? (Lazeroid and Semaphore)
for me the fastes is Beast rom 4.2.1 with linaro project + lazeroid 2.1 + semaphore kernel.
That's configuration and it is very smooth.

I prefer the SlimBean ROM 3.1. It is fast, smooth and the battery is also ok
CM 7.2.0 + ntsense cm7 theme + devil kernel = awesome look + battery life.
