What's your favorite custom ROM so far? What are you running currently?

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

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

Darkslide v3

The dev for this rom doesn't post here, I wish he would... This has been a great rom for me, and I have tried about every rom out atleast once with the exception of chevy. All phones not created equal, this has been smooth straight out the door. For anyone looking for a new rom, id highly suggest giving this one a try. I am in NO way affiliated with this rom, but I enjoy this forum above the others and think others here will enjoy this rom also! BTW, this is a themed rom.

Flashed it yesterday and lovin it. Hey man I live in Asheville too!

Ha. Another guy from Asheville right here. Weird...

Glad you approve. Welcome to the DarkSlide..

An updated version of DarkSlide was posted today at mydroidworld. I haven't had a chance to get it yet, but I plan to soon.

I've tried so many roms...THIS is the rom i wanted !! ALL blur removed minus the contacts (for syncing with facebook for pics) and the camera. Thank you and anyone else who helped for making this !!

Until there are some major leaps with roms, ill be sticking with darkslide. Glad there are a few here trying it and liking!

Can this rom be ported to mytouch4g ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Best rom i've used so far if u want speed,reliability, and color. This rom is very stable for me at 1.45. It gets warm but only under heavy use like movies gaming etc. I score a 2500 on benchmark with low voltage @ 1.2 and runs best at that setting for me with the longest battery life usually around a full day with heavy use and consistent music playing.

Question, Have you run into any problems with Apps, like Adobe Flash 10.1. I'm using Droid Eris after rooting but ordered new Droid X as replacement. So far, Eris runs much better, but I want to find a stable rom to install on my DX. I want to start rooting my DX but didn't want to brick the phone.
Thanks

DarkSide is Ultimate!!
Hey gang, some of you know me from starting out here in the HTC Windows Mobile arena. Since moving to Droid, I was worried about you folks at first, but now I see that you are in very good hands. Your Droid membership and development seems to be moving along nicely. The gentleman who initiated this thread is quite right...this is an awesome ROM and I would welcome others to give it a shot - you will not be disappointed. For the record, I'm guilty, I have definitely gone to the Dark Side.

This ROM is definitely underrated. I tried it as an almost last choice. I can't believe that there is not more buzz over this one. It is the best of the bunch that I tried. IMO anyway.

I don't think there is a "best" ROM out there right now. ROM's are more of a personal feel and what you like in a ROM. All of the ROM's out there are amazing, and have been built by amazing dev's. I personally am running Darkslide right now, but I have run Liberty 1.0, Liberty 1.5, Rubix 1.9.5, Rubix 1.9.7 Rubix Blurry 1.8, GummyJar 2.5, Fission 2.5.7, TranQ 3.7, Apex 1.4.... And this is all within just the last 2 months...
Give each ROM you are interested in a try for a few days or a week. Until we get the ability to run an AOSP ROM WITH a custom kernel (like Cyanogen), and even then, who is to say a BEST ROM, I think it is really what you the end user is looking for that makes a ROM a "best" fit for someone.

I agree with you. Probably shoulda worded it as "favorite" as apposed to best. I've personally tried most out there. Just wanted to know what people are running.

Due for an upgrade!!!

My buddy that I've know for years is with Verizon and is due for an upgrade. This guy is a computer nut that loves to hack, tweak, customize etc. My nephew has a DX an absolutely loves it. My friend has never had an android phone and asked me to point him in the right direction.... I told him to get the DX. I'm going to help him root it and flash roms..... I have an evo and know it inside out and have flashed everything under the sun. When he does get it what custom rom do you suggest that has plenty of themes and bells and whistles? My nephew suggested Rubix and I'm not familiar with ANY of the DX roms. I want to start my friend on the right foot with android and have a few roms ready to flash for him so he loves the android community as much as I do. So if anyone could let me know what the top 5 roms to flash that would be awesome. Thanks in advance and bababooey to you all

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Rubix Focused 1.9.7 is truly the fastest rom in terms of performance. Also the battery life is bar none. I use an extended battery and with normal use (not in my hand every minute) I have no problem getting two days on a charge. If you want a few extra features in an easy to use toolbox app than Liberty 1.5 is a great rom as well. I switch between the two whenever I'm bored and want a change. These are the only two roms worth a mention in my opinion if removing the blur and bloat is your intent.

This all depends on what you what you are looking for. I would suggest that you spend some time reading over the threads in Forum Droid X Android Development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=691
I have only used two ROMs but did a lot of research on the most popular.
I am currently using Liberty 1.5 and I am loving it. It's Liberty ToolBox allows some heavy, yet easy, customization.

Yeah he's the kind of Guy that will be a flashaholic. I know I'm flashing new roms a few times a week on my Evo and I'm sure he'll be the same. Just wondering if the dx will keep him flashing.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I've been researching before I flash a room. I'm rooted and ready, but I read on people feed back. so far i'm leaning towards apex. but I JUST found Liberty 5. so i'm still debating.

Getting bored of my Vibrant. Still on Bionix 1.3.1

What rom is good now, I, started with eugene's then moved on to team whiskey's,, now what? :/ what's cooking in the development section for our vibrants?
What rom are you on? Please help
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

What kind of a kick are you on IE: you want touchwhiz or AOSP looks. I for one am on a AOSP'ish kick right now. Running Biwinning 3.0 with the SGS II theme and launcher2 from the G2. I read alot during the middle of the night so 2.2.1 is an absolute must since the capacitive buttons don't light up while turning a page or scrolling the screen. On top of that I am running the bullet 1.48 kernel and it is as smooth as butter. Last but certainly not least that kernel allows a screen off profile of 400-100 so my battery life while not in use is fantastic. I'd say figure out what you want out of the phone and test until everything clicks how you want. If a rom isn't what you want look-wise cruise through all the great themes we have and have that decide which rom to run. Options are vast as it stands now.

I recommend the MIUI 360 rom.

CM7 and MIUI roms are pretty great. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll be just fine. You can flash CM7 or MIUI over 2.2 roms by disabling voodoo first. Once that's done you can flash away. Be sure to grab a copy of the ka5 or ka7 radio/modems just in case you end up with no signal afterwards.

get your ass on CM7 before i slap you onto it.

Trust me once you try cm7 you won't look back to bionix ever again or any 221 rom.

Agreed always was about the Bionix roms until i tried bi-winning. Version 3 that was just released is a little buggy yet. But 2 has always been solid! Its nice with bullet kernel & bi-black gloss theme.

I went eugenes gingerclone, bionix 1.3.1, and now project-v with bali and Im pretty excited about it honeslty. Battery life is fantastic, speed is great. Im waiting for themes now haha
Vibrant - project-v, bali 1.8.6UV kernel.

I think I found my sweet spot at ZenDroid with Bali 1.86 UV. After all, this device is still made to be a phone, and while CM7 based roms are fun to play around with for a few days or weeks, I still need a stable rom for my daily use. But if I get bored, I always have my HD7 around to play around with before I come back the the good ole Vibrant.
On another note, this community has certainly gotten a lot more fun and better. Certainly much much better than that HD7 community (if you can call it one at all).

Bi Winning v3. Great rom! Other EDT roms are good too.

I used CM7 for about a month and it is without a doubt the best, fastest ROM on the Vibrant. However, I just switched back to BiWinning 3 and I really love having GPS and a battery that easily makes it through the day instead of fighting at every step to survive the day.

BIONIXV1.3.1.! ITS FAST. ITS STABLE. IT HAS GREAT BATTERY LIFE. IT HAS A GOOD GPS.IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BUGS. IT HAS...... oh never mind

Try ZenDroid. I get good battery, the theme is awesome, its fast and its stable.

I have to agree with XPLANE and philliple. Since I've been using ZenDroid I haven't even been checking for new roms. It's stripped down, super fast and stable, and very aesthetically pleasing.
