Which ROM???

Noob here, and I apologize for that... LOL
I'm new to the Android world. Have my CDMA Hero rooted running stock 1.5. Looking at the Wiki for the Hero ROM, there are currently 13 of them to choose from.
I searched for comments, comparisons and such, and there really isnt much here, or I wasn't searching right.
Anyway, can anyone tell me why they like the ROM that they are running so well? So maybe I can decide which I might like to try out?
Thanks guys, Noob or not, these forums have been soooo helpful! Keep up the great work.

Fresh 2.0d plus the vanilla lockscreen (minus menu). Thank me later.
BTW, I have tried nearly every ROM here... I would suggest you do the same since different people like different stuff. Vanilla Darch comes in second for me and I prefer the Helix launcher over any other.

It's just like a buffet, the first time you go there you try everything to find out what you like! The next time you go back you only try what you like!
They are all about the same speedwise, it's all about trying them to find the one that suits you and has stuff that you want in a ROM, most of them have screenshot to see what they look like, and most of them are near 100%.
Roman

Heres what I do. Nandriod, test, restore if I don't like it.

I gotta say, Fresh 2.0d is awesome. Just make sure you also install the vanilla lockscreen.

RegawMOD v2.0.2p here but it's also in how you can put bits and pieces together that makes it quick and smooth for you in all reality.

I run Damagecontrol 2.05 as my daily with vanilla lockscreen, black/blue dialer/black droid launcher/black keyboard, etc, etc....

I'm running DamageControl2.05, slimmed down and modded. Still trimming fat, but my last update.zip was only like 90Mb. Seriously, just give them a try. It's not like buying a car, there is no buyers remorse. If you try one and don't like it, you just move on to the next one. Be warned, once you start modding them yourself, it becomes addictive. Next thing you know, you'll find yourself missing sleep cause you're pouring over apk's and png's getting everything just how you want it... not speaking from experience or anything, lol

ditto.. fresh2.0d outta all of them.. cause it worked for me outta the box.. darchvanilla for me as a second choice.. and i like u and a helix launcher man..
not to say any of the other roms out there are bad.. fresh works for me..

gotta give me vote to damagecontrol. if your new to flashin, consider v1, its the most stable in my opinion. if your looking to tweak and mod however, the latest is the best.

Cyanogen and desire rom

Not sure if this applies here or in the development forum but I'll give it a try in here. I know the root isn't out yet but I'm still lookong foward to using a custom rom on this awesome phone. I have never used the cyanogen rom and would to know some key feautures about it. Also I kind of want to use the desire rom as well, I've never used sense and that commercial for that new sense looks pretty awesome, anyone else gonna use that? Or maybe something other than those two? Thanks and sorry again if this belongs in development.

Whats the most stable rom?

As of today? I am looking to install a 2.2 rom for a co worker. Since i will not be around to trouble shoot after installation I need something very very stable and w/ everything working. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
p.s. I know there is an identical thread but no one has posted there in over 2 months and at the speed of these new releases that post is like ancient now.

flame on....

here we go again.
anyway, hyperdroid v1.6 (non-sense build) works really good for daily use. For a sense build, i can't answer, cause i just don't use it (it's frugly)

Round 10000th.
All builds are stable.

By now, who make the builds stable are the Kernels.
So the builds, who have the last updates in kernel sutff, are the most completely.
The build I most like are the HD and Z, but they don't have the camera working, so for now, I chose another one with it and the last kernel who fix the premature flash.
Choise by your taste.

U should have posted it and get flamed in Android General section...

I'm using phiremod skinnyEVO 1.3, no problems.

The most stable Rom is the one you seek my friend......lol
sent from my Hd2 desire Z

The most stable is the 1.D.10.T 10-16-10...
Kidding aside, it's a little tough to call, different folks -- different strokes i guess, after trying differnet combos, radio's etc....
for me the best has been the mDeeJay's Froyo sense.... (specially with hastarian kernals)
i like v2.5... over 1.1 clean....
I was gonna post the link, damn i'm not allowed to!

ey the most stable for me is
android ..Mdeejay_FroYo_HD_v._3.6
wm... Dexter-TheDarkOne,Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
camera dont work

Difficult to answer and a bit dangerous also The latest ones would be amoug the most stable although not always necessarily so.

i think anyone who posts these types of questions, especially in DEVELOPMENT!!!
should just be banned.... and go get an iphone.

Tell your co-worker to join the forum and search for himself/herself.

It's called Windows Mobile 6.5.
The HD2 comes with an OS that is exactly what your colleague needs. Why would you even consider sticking them on Android if they cannot fix any issues that crop up?
I'm a big fan of Android and would recommend it to anybody, as long as they can deal with any issues that ensue. If they can't, I'd recommend they stick with Windows.

In before the move perhaps..this should be posted in he HD2 Android General section with the other 100 "whats the best?"

One day to play

My friend is giving me his hd2 tomorrow to flash android on, unfortunately I haven't done My research and have just one day......
So my question is what stable, feature filled desert should I let him taste? And who is the chef?
Please, post links and detail why _________ is the best ROM build?
If I get plenty of posts I will try to update regularly to show noobs what they want to hear.
And in anticipation, THANKS!!!!!

like the post above said. read. there isn't a best rom out there. just pick one that fits your/your friend's needs. personally i use UD 3.0.1.

Thanks matt, personally I like cyanogenmod the best, but I have xperia x10.... the main point of me asking is because I don't have time to research... since I'm xperia I don't know how to do nandroid so I have to learn that tonight. What I would like to know is which one is extremely stable, or are they all?

No one is going to just hand you the answer. Seriously, it will take you all of 2 or 3 hours to research what you need to know.

There is no perfect build. You are talking about an OS that was never meant to run on the HD2 running on said phone. There is always going to be something wrong or unstable about a build. It's a matter of what you can live with. So there is no true answer to your question. You'll have to pick which one you think will have the least amount of problems and cross your fingers. You might just have to keep researching even after you get his phone flashed because I'm sure you'll have to do it again.
Or you could just teach him how to do it himself because he will have to keep up on which ever build to get the latest fixes.

There are several Builds, i prefer smal ones without pre installed software.
Typhoon or so. Its fast smooth and stable. Well my dad owns a Desire HD not rooted and there is a lot of rubbish on it.
So i think you have to read the threads wich personaly fits to your friend.

YOUR Preference

You have an HTC Evo Shift? You rooted it and put a custom OS on it?
Awesome.
First timer right her who wants to ask your preference, the only thing I have to have is the ability to tunnel my internet to project a free hotspot. That is available in CM7, so far I am leaning towards a nightly build... But essentially since I have not done this before, I don't know the best, I'm sure no one knows the "best"...BUT I would very much like to know your favorite considering that is my main concern

I really like Sense Roms, especially sense 3.0. I was rocking a stock, rooted rom, but got tired of HTC dragging their feet releasing the source code for the Shift. I flashed CM 7.1 stable, with Scary Ghoul 3 kernel, running at 1.5 gHz. But, if HTC already had source code for the gingerbread release, I'd still be on a sense rom.

Created a whole thread about this. Here you go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262313

If you like Sense then it's gotta be Supreme Sense. Real nice ROM with lots of bells and whistles and a very nice camera app.
Me personally, I prefer CM7. I want raw performance and the maximum amount of customizability and CM7 offers all that more than any other ROM.

@Vico
The thread you specified was...
[INFO] Cyanogenmod 7 optimal settings for Evo Shift 4G on SPRINT (Updated 10-7-11)
Which is not what I'm looking for, I happened to say I was looking into CM7, but would be open to another OperatingSystem all together. CM7 does good work, but honestly they are the only ones I know about. So I would be narrowminded to assume the only one I know about would be the best choice. Since alot of people on this forum have done alot to their phones their input on a recommended OS will be followed.

Well I'm sure you know it depends on your usage, and preferences. I'm a Sense kind of guy. If your looking for a sort of stock Rom with a lot of extras that's quick, than MikShifted G v1.75 is a great choice. Stable, Reliable, and Fast. If your looking for something a little more over the top that's still stable, reliable, and fast. Than Supreme Sense is it, eye candy plus.

Don't discount MIUI.. there are a lot of people into it for one reason or another. Myself being one of them. Someone new to flashing roms might find it's exactly what they're looking for.

I think miui is pretty cook because you can literally change everything! A ton of themes and icon packs. Just so many ways to customize. But I live supreme. I just can't leave it!

I flashed miui just to flah it and I haven't flashed another rom since... love the ui straight and to the point, lots of themes is def a plus... I have no 4g so don't miss it at all...
