I just got the mytouch, and I was wondering if there is a consensus best rom, our favorite rom. I saw that iced-glacier has the most replies, so I assume that probably is what is most used.
Which rom do you guys suggest I flash?
iced glacier is a very good rom if u like mysense. i personally am more of a stock type person and am loving cm7.1
personally i use cm 7.1 which is android 2.3 iced glacier among others are very strong roms. it just depends what kind of user you are. the mysense and sense have a lot of nice things to them but tend to be bloated a bit. i prefer a more basic, stock experience.
Hmm folks on this forum are a lot less opinionated than other forums.
Thanks for the input guys.

I guess by best, I meant what is everyone's favorite rom.
I wondered if there is a rom that most prefer over the others. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ian currently using the gorilla sense enjoy it but I think personally ny face is the MIUI, it just needs a lite more added to it
Just my Input

Well not very impressed by the Android's joke attempt at mockery of linux ppc but I have like 10days to return the device lol so today I flashed Iced Glacier. Ill test it and see as I can't stand the stock bolted version. My next target is Evil 4G HD, GorillaSens DHD and then CM7 if I like it I just might keep the device. After all I can't refuse it for the hardware implication.
My favorite is iced glacier because I get the best battery life with moderate to heavy use.

Thanks for the input. I tried all the sense roms and I am sticking with gorilla for a little while.

In my experience, The best daily driver ROM is Iced Glacier v1.0.4 which is found here , its pretty much closest to the stock ROM feel without the bloatware, 1.7Ghz over clock ready, and is already themed and optimized. It is Mysense based (Stock Mytouch UI) which IMO not really a bad UI, to each their own... And since the Stock ROM that came with the mytouch already works very well, this definitely has the least issues if theres even any, out of all the ROMs available right now.
Alot of stable ROMs are out there right now so I still suggest you try them, and see for yourself
Best looking ROM MIUI by Evil D
If you want android AOSP based ROM, then its a given CM ROM by Zinc
Good luck and happy flashing
I am a huge fan of AOSP ROM's so as of current i am using Cyanogen's CM6.1.2RC2, I tried I/G but i felt it was slower than the stock 2.2.1. CM6.1.2RC2 FLIES when i comes to speed.
I am using cm7 ROM, love it....Before that I was using iced glacier, which was my favorite because it was most stable, and optimized..got great performance and great battery life out of it.

What's the difference between CM7 rom and Virtuous rom???
Because I'm thing about updating from virtuous to cm7
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
One big difference is that CM doesn't have HTC Sense, but Virtuous does.
Also, CM is based on 2.3, whereas Virtuous is 2.2.1

Best thing to do is flash and see for youself! Look at the specs of the roms and flash! That's what I do.

I agree. I was doing the same thing as you trying to find the difference between two different ROMs and I found that it was just easier to flash and try them yourself. Plus it was fun flashing different ROMs
I really like Roto CM7 rom So far out of all of all the roms I have tryed and it seems more stable as well as fast. but I am flashing B#54 because it has the tethering in it. seems he has taken it out after that and since I do not have Internet at home anymore... Moved and have not gotten it.... I tether...
Hey,
Well Virtuous is based on the stock rom (therefore it comes with sense). On the other hand is CM which is build on top of vanilla android (therefore it can use 2.3).
If you like the look and feel and the bundled apps of the desire z with stock rom, you will love Virtuous because its just an extension.
If you think the stock one is overloaded and you like the vanilla android experience, CM is the way to go.
In both cases you get a custom kernel with a lot of nice features.
I use CM on my G1 and Virtuous on my G2. And I like both! well more the G2 but that has nothing to do with the rom

Hey xda,
I just got a HTC G2, straight of ebay. I'll be following the tutorials posted to perma-root, CID unlock and S-off (not using visionary).
My only question and concern is, just because I am new to this phone, apart from CM being at the top, what other roms are stable? fast? and reliable? (decent battery life, not too many fc's etc)
I'm very much interested in something with HTC Sense, but meh, am willing to compromise if its too buggy. I've been reading here and there that there are tons of problems with scaling etc when phones switches from portrait/landscape etc.
Any suggestions will be great! Thank you for reading this far!!
Sorry, but you're going to have to do what everyone else does. Try them out and decide for yourself.
Hello and welcome!
My suggestions:
If you want sense, look up Virtuous 1.0.2 for froyo. If you want sense 3.0, look up Virtuous Fusion 1.0.0.
If you want stock android, look up Virtuous G-lite 1.0.2.
All of the above ROMs are by the same dev, are very stable and I have used all of the above. Currently using G-lite because as much as I love sense, it does take alot of memory.
As posted before, try the ROMs for about a week each and see how you like them. It's all personal preference.

I couldn't agree more; as far as ROMs go, rmk's are the most stable. CyanogenMod7 is actually extremely buggy still on the G2 (at least, when I used it a few weeks ago). While CM7 is probably the fastest ROM I've used, there are lots of little things that don't work correctly, and newer builds sometimes will break things that worked on older builds. I'm currently running G-Lite and I'm extremely satisfied.

Cm6.1.1 is nice and stable with decent battery life. It isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the myriad gingerbread releases but it gets the job done and can be tweaked to appear incredibly 'speedy' by using spare parts from the app market and Launcher Pro.
Ill throw my vote in there for Pyrorom. Its fast and is based off of CM7 if I remember correctly. I had tried a few, but as soon as I booted Pyro, I knew it was the one.
Good luck anyways.

Try a stock rom! Or dive in and before you know it you will be flashing new roms every other day.

fwiw I have yet to find another ROM as stable as GingerVillain 1.5 with the 4.02.17 radio. Everything works perfect and I can get 18 hours battery life.
Tried Glite 1.02, super smooth, great ROM with the 4.30 radio BUT could not get the bluetooth to pair. Plus a few minor quirks with the camera flash not working. This is mostly due to the hw differences between the G2 and desire Z. I have a bell Can Desire Z
if u don't want sense...
If you have a G2, go for Glite 1.02 otherwise GV 1.5 is stable and can't be beat ..yet imo
Cm7 has been the only rom I stayed with. I tried sense roms and wanted to pull NY hair out, I simply just cannot stand sense.

If you're looking for a sense rom, I'd recommend insertcoin.
I'd also recommend trying out Miui and vanilla based Roms

In time, yep, will be flashing around here and there and i'll know for myself. I just wanted to know which ones are the best to start of with. I remember when i got my Milestone, man, i flashed all the bad roms first, had soo many problems.
Especially when ROM threads exceed 50 pages, Yikes!! Takes forever to go through them.
Thanks though!

Hello all,
I recently decided that I wanted to play with my mytouch 4G for a while. I was looking through the ROM section, and there were a lot of ROMs...very overbearing for someone like me. So, I decided to reach out to the community, and ask for a ROM that would suit my needs.
Requirements:
1. Good Battery Life
- I don't use my phone too often, and I hate it how with one day of low use my phone will go down to around 50%
2. Fast
- Speed Demon!
3. Stable
- Don't want apps crashing, now do we?
4. Updated
- Would prefer something that gets updated, so I know that I'm continually being supported with bigger and better things.
Think that's pretty much it. Thanks for all your help!
First post on XDA. Hope there's more to come!
CM7 or Faux's AOSP. Both fast with great battery life.
Sent from my HTC Glacier
Most of the roms get to a "final release" where everything thats going to get worked out is worked out so that's where the older roms are but if you want one with a consistent update and speed try miui demonspeed as it gets updated every week hope that helps and welcome to XDA!

I use Team Royal's Royal Panache. It's based off the canadian version of the MyTouch4G and is a very smooth gingerbread sense ROM. Battery life is great and it works with Netflix. It uses a great kernel that can overclock to 1.8 Ghz. I went to it after Fusion and prefer it.

i was using faux's aosp rom. I'm now running streamlined cm7 and love it. both roms are super fast and smooth. streamlined has just a few more attractive features. clear pulldown, g2x launcher and the cm customization options. flash some roms and see what you like. thats the best way to figure out what you want. i started with iced glacier which was basically stock without the bloat installed from tmobile. then i did royal's version of that. then faux's aosp which doesnt have all the sense features like you would be used too and i found i liked that better. the phone runs so much faster and the battery life is much better without sense roms burning it up.
I just want peoples opinions and see how other people think of there favorite rom. Could you add some screenshots
Nick'sAMytouch4GLover<3
dude you started 3 threads and they all basically say the same thing??? all the info you need is in the development section....
I was trying to delete it but idk gow man

It's kind of pointless to throw up a CM7 screen shot, because it's so customizable that I can make it look like any other ROM, including Sense and Miui.
You're just gonna have to give each ROM a try and see which one is your favorite. Depends what you like the best, AOSP, Sense or MIUI?
Btw, I suggest to not make anymore threads about the same subject. You'll attract a MODS attention.

For daily use we normally use aosp, CM7, deck, or Jaybob's. All of those are based on aosp. Sense 2.3.3 is available with the wildhero by flashinglights

+1 I personally went with deck, because it seems to perform so much more smoothly, but wildheroc has some features that are simply awesome. downside is that gps is still having issues on just about all of the roms, so if you are really looking for something comfy and stable, I'd suggest AOSP 2.2 as it is kinda the go to for a lot of folks; honestly though, I have been on Gingerbread since abut January and it would be VERY hard to go back to 2.2 or stock; I would just lose so much functionality and personalization; Hope that helps;
The OMGB rom would be my recommendation (not omfgb). It's the most stable rom i've tried on the Hero and its nice and small. It doesn't have all the extra bells and whistles of a Cyanogenmod rom but it's a little more stable and just as fast. Run it with firerats and you'll have plenty of app space.
