I am curious about which ROMs everyone is running and enjoying the most.
Please redirect me if such a thread already exists. I searched the DI forums and didn't find one.
Cm all the way
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Lovin' me some tasty Froyo, with Sky Raider 1.9.
CM too. Tried Sky Raider, but CM is just so clean and fast I had to switch back. I can live without a camera for a couple weeks
Interested to see the replies to this one as well - I would love to go to CM6, but losing the camera means too much to me right now (work related, sadly).
I tried out CM6 (Koush_Test) last night. The one interesting thing I noticed, was the battery was draining like crazy. The battery stat said the display was utilizing 75%.
I went back, due to not having the Camera... When you have kids, I need to be ready.. It was fun to mess with.
I am on Jager 1.8ota and stock kernel and I love it I was on his 1.8 with the hydra 1.13 kernel which is really great too!
Stock 2.1! I have overclocked/hacked every electronic device in my house that could possibly have it done except for my phone. I want to wait for the official Froyo OTA update then have a go at it (in the meantime I will just have to settle with jtagging my Xbox 360 and setting it up to run games off an external HD =).
Been using 1.2 yasr and have been really happy. I think i just like launcher pro though. Love to do cm6 but the camera is an issue for me as well. Official froyo will be welcomed.

It's good. Basically rooting your phone, removing the junk (sense included), leaving exchange support and adding launcher pro.

It's way better it's like stock ROM but without sense and a lot faster and it has great batterylife!! i'm actually using it and it proved that it's the best out there, with an undervolt and overclock hydra kernel you don't need anything else, would love to use skyrider 1.9 but i'm waiting for the camera, i already tried jagger, CM and basically everyone on incredibleroms dot com and believe YASR is way better if you need link just search here in the forum yasr 1.1! =) cheers

Bickering aside, a quick perusal of the CM6 dev threads shows only a handful of posts in March, and none in April. So, I will make the assumption that most people have moved on to CM7.
After all, if you've taken the dive and flashed a custom ROM like CM, you're probably not likely to stick with 'outdated' software.
If someone is going to use 2.2, it would be FR008 or Liberated 2.2.2.
Sent from my Liberty
I am. I really like what I've seen of the CM7 nightlies so far, but will continue to use CM6 until GPS is fixed and working. I don't consider either the ROM flash-workaround or the new libs with the broken navigation to be fixes.
I am because of the cosmetics mainly. I Hate the black color schemes on 7. My Battery drained 4 hours faster from normal use. And there is nothing I want in cm7 that isn't in cm6.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I'm still on cm6 because:
Runs smoother,
Better battery,
Looks better,
And for some reason, I can flash alternate/custom window animations on cm6 and not on cm7.
I just went back to CM6. It's the lightest, fastest, smoothest and most efficient ROM for the Aria. Literally, it's how the Aria was meant to operate. CM7 is disappointing.
going back to cm6 for stability and battery life.
Just gonna apply my gingerbread theme.

You won't regret it.
I've also decided to go back to cm6, even though cm7 was good, but the battery life was terrible

If I were to go back to cm6 from cm7, would titanium restore current user app data? Been some time since the 6er.

Hello everyone I'm gonna start out by saying I'm only asking this because I'm from the gs4g and my dad has the vibrant and wants a rom on it. Ok so what I'm asking is what's the smoothest fastest stock touchwiz rom for this phone
Sent from my galaxy s 4g using XDA app
Sorry mods I just saw that sticky
Sent from my galaxy s 4g using XDA app
Well.. "stock"...... ehhhhhhhh
If you want custom roms, theres a lot, and i'm guessing your dad won't be interested in updating the rom once in a while, so i'd say try Bionix, or Toxic, both are Touchwiz (ithink) and give great battery life, however they are pretty old, so there hasnt been any updates and they are not the latest firmware in the Android saga
+1 on those. I am pretty much supporting Toxic8 and a few of us are picking apart Deranged9, both 2.2's. Fishman has a Bionix redux that he has put together and tweaked. Very worthwhile.
Since I am sure your dad isn't going to maintain the ROM like we do, these are all solid builds with working GPS and 911.
Best stock and rom do not belong in the same sentence. I don't know of a stock rom that is any better than half of the dev roms out there.
Ok thanks guys I'll have to try those out for him and see what he likes
Sent from my galaxy s 4g using XDA app
Now my dad just wants to get the official 2.2 update from kies but asked me if there was anything I could do to make it faster so what kernal do you guys recommended
Sent from my galaxy s 4g using XDA app
Try Project V, looks stock but much better.

I've been using toxic 8 for a while but project v was great too, probably the closest you'll get.
If you are in vibrant just flash neobuddy ICS passion. This is ultimate
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Go with a 2.2 rom like most have said. They are the most stable AND are able to dial 911 in any situation. Reason #2 would be the biggest factor if I were doing this for my parents. I'd feel absolutely terrible if my parents were in any emergency and couldn't dial 911.
Any idea? Stability + good battery?
I was using Legendary before, awesome battery life while at 1400Mhz all the time. It was amazing.
Anyone know which kernel I should use now?
YMMV but this was my battery today with the newest samurai kernel tanto
Sent From My Thugnificent SPH-D700 because its more than Magnificent
This being covered time and time again in many different posts over many different threads almost warrants no answer but ill give you one and here it is
try them all flash one per day till you find one that works for you the way you like it everyone uses their phone differently so no matter what you will get different results than i do or the next person that post on this
It's really up to you, try them out and see what you like the best. I've tried all 3 kernels currently out right now and they all work pretty good. The two I usually stick with are shadow kernel and the samurai kernel. Shadow kernel is nice and makes everything feel real snappy. You can overclock to 1400 mHz and the battery life for me is good. The newest shadow, tanto, overclocks to 1500 mHz and works with voodoo control. Haven't gotten the chance to really test battery since it just came out but so far it runs pretty good. Just test both of them out, you can always flash over another kernel.

Bad question....like what's the best ROM. Every phone and every user is different. You have to try them out to see what works best for you.

I am pretty much a noob here and know better than to ask any "what's the best....." question. I have read it dozens of times that your phone and your use is different. Might as well ask us how you should dress too.

Also close to stock kernels like aprosamurai's. He likes to keep his stockish with a few tweaks and some new fixes. Just my opinion of what works best on my phone. Others like earthbound's are too tweaked for me but his is really fast and bleeding edge. Bbelos's are also good.

I'm using shadow now and have used apro's too and they both worked great. You need to experiment with them, and you're going to have to tweak to get better battery life. I had several trying to constantly run and none of them were things I use a lot so they had to go. If I wanted super battery life I would have bought a flip phone and not a micromini laptop, and I wouldn't have such a joyful device to tinker with.

Stock is always going to be the best for wanting nothing but the simplicity.
Put it like this when i buy a car, i put bigger tires on my car for grip, and better handling. But i know i will loose some gas mileage but not alot.
I'll put a turbo and some internals into my engine to gain in power but will loose gas.
But if we can put bigger tires and a bigger turbo but still have the same gas results as stock, Then why not do it?
We all benefit in one area and thats why custom kernels are there for those who want options that stock doesn't provide.
Stock= Base Model
Custom = Fully Loaded
Simple as that. So everyone should try different kernels and then reply not saying oh this is the best. But say IMO i prefer this over that simply because of these reasons. Everyone will want a specific kernel because one may like different things about the different kernels

If you want to keep close to stock: aprosamurai's.
If you want to live on the bleeding edge: earthbound's
I prefer stock, though I may give earthbound's another try now that he made some updates
What would my fellow EVO enthusiasts say is the best Rom? One where everything works please.

Best ROM, Swiper's latest ICS Muiu running Mason kernel.
However, no 4g.

I have seen a lot of people raving about swipers ICS MIUI. I downloaded but haven't flashed yet. What makes it so great? I will probably have to give it a try tonight. I just hope its a smooth set up. I hate having to flash gps drivers and stuff like that. But if its that good I guess its worth the setup time.
Deck ICS
Tiamat kernal
Very nice.....

Exactly. Once again, NOBODY can tell you what the best rom for you is. Everyone has their own wants/needs, and not to mention the same rom will not run the same on every single device. Try a few roms, and find one you like, simple as that.
I use the Miks rom and it run flawlessly
I've been running nitrous for awhile now. The dev is extremely good at taking requests and keeping everyone updated on his progress.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I tried nitrous but the battery life blew dogs. I'm in SOS 1.9 ics I love ics are there any other good ics roms out there.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
I'm partial to MikG 3.11 (or the latest). Stable, smooth, decent features and stays pretty updated.

Anything MIUI has been awesome for me...So customization & runs fast, everything works besides 4g but I cant get 4g in this area anyways...Plus the themes change up the look of your phone alot!! BTW Why is ICS Muiu running Mason kernel the best? Does GPS camera video ect work?? How do I get video or movies from my phone to work on my TV thru QQ player?
n00b-rom with tiamat 3.3.7 is the best rom around its so smooth and everything works
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
n00b-rom!?!
I am an OG Epic user, and the biggest (only?) complaint I had and have seen with our ICS ports is that the lack of battery life renders the phone unuseable. Is the same the case with the Evo? I see a lot of ICS roms and folks here seem to like it, but I've flashed the Evo's on my account with some roms lately that score unbelievable battery life so I'm hesitant to change.
