You just asked questions that no one can answer but yourself. Go to the dev section and look at the ROM threads. All the info you could ever need is there, as well as screenshots in most cases.
Really its a self opinion but to me a Rom that is gingerbread and also has sense. Desire S 2.3.3 is the best if you care for senseginger

cm7 and it's offshoots (royal ginger) are probably the most themeable, but you lose sense/mysense, so it's about what you like. as far as kernels and stability, you really do need to spend some time trying them.

dO LOVE SENSE
my personal favorite (for the last week..because it changes weekly) has been MIUI. It also has a theme manager letting you theme almost every aspect of the rom..Check out RoyalMIUI

hey i was wodnering wich one you think its better?im using a cm 5.0.8 and its cool and stable and since froyo its out cm its making a great effort to compile and take time to get a stable and cool rom, and its ok i undertsand. in other hand we can see paul already has mcr for froyo i dont have enough time to flash roms since of work im out all day and this days i even woerk saturday and sunday are for GF
so im wondering wich one you prefer?im semi new on android perhaps i already have some apps, backups rooted phone i know a little adb and so on. so
wich one you like more? CM or MCR?
Oh gawd - what kind of answers do you expect to that question?
i personally liked mcr 21 but cm6 should be out soon so i would wait for that.
These are 2 completely different ROMs. Modaco philosophy is being as close to stock as possible with some good additions. Cyanogen is all about tweaks, performance gains, customization, etc. If you like stock then go with modaco.

what would be the best rom to run, what is the most stable and would allow me to stay active on my phone at the same thing as giving me great customizations and battery life? also does any of the roms out there all you to set songs for the notification and messaging/email...
I want to say all around cm7(aosp) is the best rom, but not the most stable at the moment. If you like sense roms id say the best is myns warm 2.2. Second best sense rom is koni's elite III imo.
Download "zedge" for custom ringtones and notifications. (Free in market)
It's honestly up to you to find a rom that works for you.
Everyone is going to tell you the name of a different rom.
As fast as sense roms go, I found that Fresh gave me the most stable experience.
Aosp, I found salvageMod to be more stable than cyanogen mod, but cm is much more customizable.
I personally run Myn's Warm Z

After the most recent cm update, I honestly don't know how any rom could be more stable than that. Everything works and 0 forecloses. To each their own though. I did use Fresh for a while and that seemed to be a pretty quick Sense based rom as well. What is best for me may not be for you. Just do like the rest of us and become a flashaholic
Like bjb said, we all have faves, for different reasons, ymmv.
The two Sense based ones that he mentions are in my sig, and also I've found MikFroyo to be very smooth, good batt life, but pretty much stock look.
Going to an AOSP ROM, or a variant like CM7, can be fun, but be Sure to read all the notes and helpful hints in the first posts for each ROM, they all have their "issues". But often they are worth it for the customizations and tweaking options...
Personally, I am a Sense user, but I ran CM-types on my Hero for a long time, and loved them. The Hero needed them though, to get any real function. The Hero choked on Sense.
But (again, my opinion) I've found Sense based ROMs to be the most stable, and fully "working" (your definition may be different than others) on me Evo. Mainly because the Evo has enough power to actually run it...
blah blah blah...
I have been very impressed with CM7 so far..
CM7 one the top on my list for sure..
Does there REALLY need to be 57,000 threads asking what is the best ROM??
Can't people just READ the goddamn forums?

That's the best way...flash all the highly spoken ones...try them for a week, make a note to yourself, then continue on, and stick with what you like.
I have tried a lot of rom,(I am addicted to flashing) and with all these roms. there are some shortfalls. I am on HW 0004 and apart form the screen brightness issue, i find that TMartinPPC_EvoGingerSense_v0.1 is very stable and effective. My screen is not thst bright anyway and the battery is good too.
If you look in the EVO developement section, myns rls5, then mikfroyo 4.6 for sense...then CM 7x and miui for aosp are the most popular. Start with those..

Hi, i'm now using rafdroid hd 4.0.2 at my eu-leo and want to cange rom.
Is there some suggestions for a new rom?

Sup dude, if you want suggestions you should give us an idea of what you're looking for first.
I'm currently using CM7 HyperDroid which suits me cos it's minimalistic, dark and fast. So if you like those things to, I definitely recommend it. Another good thing about this ROM is that you only need a 150mb CWM partition, which is good for us EU owners.
I've only tried one other ROM and that was UltimateDroid. It's another fast ROM (I'm pretty sure it's based off CM7) which has a lot of theme options. It's got a more stock feeling to it, but if you don't like the default green it's got red, blue etc.
I'd also suggest having a look at the MIUI ROMs too, I haven't tried one yet but they have some interesting features.
Hope this helps man.

Thx,
i need a sens rom, and it must be stable. and fast is always good
I've had no luck with Sense ROMs so far. Not fast enough for the added eye candy. Been a long time CM user and finally tried MIUI yesterday morning. OMG! Within two hours I became a diehard MIUI fanboy. Been hammering it ever since and it's blowing me away. More functionality than CM, same level of zippy performance, but much better eye candy. It have yet to find one thing I don't like and it keeps amazing me as I stumble upon new feature after new feature. I don't think I can go back to any other ROM now.

MIUI needs a 120mb CWM so it's low profile like CM. Both good for EU owners. Unlike that damn 400mb for Sense.

One of it's few lacking features... true. Always forget about that since I listen to mp3, podcasts, and internet radio. FM radio pretty much unnecessary here in the states with the other alternatives.
I'm also on miui but I installed launcher pro because I didn't like the iphone like launcher. you should try it. the roms are very smooth and fast. i'm using the ndt one and won't go back unless the gingersense roms are working without bugs.
sure but i think it won't work on gingerbread when none of the roms have included it.
and well, honeycomb has the highest build number but it's for tablets.... just use 2.3.4

+1 to both posts. Don't use the honeycomb version. The one in my sig is solid. No force closes yet and smooth. I run everything at once and no issues.
As mentioned above, hypderdroid cm7 is one i recommend as well, it is very fast. You will need cwm installed thought but its worth it. Here give it a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026

Which is the best ROM for defy overall at the moment?
Because CM9 is still somewhat buggy and not yet fully optimized, in my opinion CM7.2 Stable is the best overall ROM with regards to performance, compatibility and stability.

hey, sometimes it's hard to choose even between 2 girls...
each rom has it's qualities, so you should mention that what are you looking for.. if it's speed and performance then CM7.1 or CM7.2 are best. If you want battery life then go for MS2Ginger... If it's nice UI, then go for wiui or miui.... hope you find what you're looking for.
i would suggest you to try each girl and then decide on looks and performance
MS2Ginger
Hi!
I've just tried MS2Ginger 3.0 ROM, and I really like it, but I cannot configure the email client: when I want to set up an email account with different domain than .com, it just says "There was an error creating your account. Please try again."
On stock Froyo it worked.
(I tried to make a gmail.com e-mail account - it accepted - than I changed the settings to .fi, etc... but it gave authentication errors... settings are correct for sure)
Do you have any idea what can be the solution?
BR,
Aron

the next one you're about to flash ^^
...then you realise it aint
I've tried most CM9/ICS, MIUI (couple variants), CM7.2...
for themes & ease of set up (gps etc) go for MIUI,
for bench marks go for - CM9 (buggy),
for a blend of the two plus stability - go for CM7.2 ^^ it has themes (no match for MIUI though) - it's really smooth (can't out benchmark CM9/ICS) - I'm on CM7.2 @ mo & will be for a while...
PS - Wajk Hybrid rom (GB/ICS blend) is worth a look too...
epsylon3 CM9
Wow! Pair it with Apex Launcher and the Defy becomes what it should have been. I know it's nightlies (17/06) but for me, with stock Froyo kernel, everything is working, and it's so slick.

miui is also good rom. and even better then cm7.
CM7 based rom
Cm9 based roms are not perfect till now.....developer not interested in developing Cm9 based roms......
now they moved towards CM10.....
but dont use CM0 coz it still in development phase.....at starting you will find it better....but as the day's passed you will find it laggy....
Go for CM7 based roms.....
Go for WHITERABBIT 1.8...new released just awesome.....super stable......I will suggest you this rom.....
Or go CM7 manic's rom.......both are same.....
but you will find more tricks in WHITERABBIT 1.8......:good:
Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. To determine which is best for yourself, read user feedback and better yet, try a few ROMs for yourself. Thread closed.
Hello,
I try a lot of Roms but I don't have time to try them all. I'm just wondering what you guys think the fastest or smoothest rom out for the SG2 right now is?
So far Neat Rom and CM9 both seem really smooth. I'm talking about when you have a live wallpaper and a bunch of widgets and apps and it still runs without any lag or noticeable slow down.
No such thing. Too many variables determine phone 'performance'.
For me stock xwlpg or cm9 is the best.

There isn't such thing as the best ROM. There's still people downgrading from ICS to GB, I don't see any point, but they just think that GB is better. Try those ROMs: CM9, WanamLite, SlimICS, Stock LPG. For me, the best ROM is CM9, but one of those ROMs can be the best for you.

Well I think that's a bit harsh. I've probably flashed about 200 roms onto my phone and I just don't know what gives a rom it's performance. There are people with much more technical knowledge than me who understands how a rom/kernel affects performance. I'm not too lazy to flash roms, I'm just asking for knowledge from those with more of it than myself. And that is a primary reason for using a forum, to share.

I tried out CM9 and it did seem fast. For whatever reason SlimICS didn't seem as fast. It's so hard to know if you're just imagining the difference in speed or if it's really their though.
For me Samsung based roms seem the best and I've tried most of them. CM9 is decently quick but the Sammy stuff definitely has the edge for smooth and stable.
I'm using thebyani from and its as fast as anything I've used.

The best ROM is the one that you find works best for you. Try a few out and decide for yourself.
