Suggestions for a solid/stable ROM -> So many to choose from

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.

insertcoin is a nice mix between sense 2.1 and 3.0

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.

virtuous g-lite is faster than cyanogenmod... check it out.

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.

I 2ND that.. pyromod 2.0 is the best... no force closes and faster than a Russian prostitute just check out the video for the rom. I've been on it forever (currently awaiting 3.0 which supposedly drops tonight/soon)

I 2nd meXdroidmod. This rom is fast and stable. By far my favorite.

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!

Best Rom These Days

I am still running my Bionix rom from March. Looking to install something new. What are the current "best" daily drivers? Looking for battery life and speed.

Project v with bali kernal. I've pretty much used every combo non gingerbread and i love it! QUOTE=shark1217;15212436]I am still running my Bionix rom from March. Looking to install something new. What are the current "best" daily drivers? Looking for battery life and speed.[/QUOTE]

I second Project V, not with Bali, but with Super Dragonmodz. This combo works best for me.

I 3rd Project V but I use Bullet kernel
Project-V 6-5-11

There really is no current best daily rom its all in preferences! For example i love cm7 as i use it as a daily driver but some would say no to that rom as a daily so its all up to preferences

Get on that Simply Honey 2.3.4 and stream some Netflix!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

If u wanna stick to froyo, i recommend simply galaxy 2.8. Using it with the bullet kernel and i get 24+ hours with decent usage. Just ordered myself a momax 2700mah battery in white(looks pretty sexy). So will prolly try out some more GB roms. Simple honey 3.8(3.9 update this weekend) and revolution are great roms to try out for sure

I know what I would *not* recommend. I wouldn't recommend CM7 with KB5 modem and NEO 10 kernal. Restart galore!!!!

Project V and bali x 1.1. Awesome battery life and speed
Vibrant
Rom: Project-V
Kernel: Bali X1.1

I recently flashed EDT's bi winning V3. Its been unbelievable for me. Project V just didn't like my phone. Even after a fresh Odin. Biwinning has been the cats pajamas. Buttery smooth and stupid fast.
Bi-winning V3

project v/bali 1.8.7
like the look/snappiness. battery is decent with moderate usage.so far, favorite rom.

Best rom;
It's a matter of opinion and personal taste, i've flashed basically every single rom on the vibrant new and old, the most reliable and stable i've found is Trigger( Anything, 3.2 is the bee's knees) but I am also really digging Toxic Muzic and Malice V3 all over again as well, if you want ginger, Asgard is Phenomenal (I like it so much better than CM7 and Miui is cool, but Asgard owns all) Dan Brutal recently released a new ginger rom, it's pretty amazing Brutal Honey ( Definitely recommend it) but yeah, you want a daily driver, Anything EDT or of course Team Whiskey, but Team Toxic is pretty amazing to.
Enjoy either way
(BTW Project V is pretty awesome( And it is Roman's( Trigger, replacement) Definitely give it a flash!

With the exception of cm7, which ran smooth but I got too many rebooted and sleeps of death, I'd say most of the gingerbread roms are garbage. My favorite Tom so far is bi-winning 3.0
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

if u need gps go with SGSII hybrid it runs great and has great speed and battery life if not i suggest cm7 with neo10 and kb5 modem battery life and speed is great

Project V is the best ROM I've ever used. It's so good that I don't even want to flash a kernel in fear that it will mess up its greatness.

Try RevolutionRom, it is lagless, as fast as CM7, and I can get 40+ hours of battery with OC.

After trying a few GB roms like Simply Honey, CM7, and MIUI, I'm back to Bionix 1.3.2 with Bali. I loved MIUI but the batt life was atrocious so I'm back to Bionix.

I love CM7 it's fast and beautiful. Just no GPS.

I second Trigger. The mouse reliable ROM for me so far. And Bali kernel with it.

Stable ROM

What's the most stable ROM I can use for my Incredible, I am running nils buisness 2.2 but it isn't working out for me, can you provide a link for a stable ROM, preferrably sense 3.0 thanks
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

There is another thread about 12 posts down with the same exact name. Most likely if 2.1 isnt workimg for you, neithrr will 3.0
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

The one that has worked best for me is the Community Rom. I wish it came with the old lock screen as an option though. Thats my only prob with it.. other than that, it's been the most stable of all that i've tried!

The most stable ROM is FROYO stock. But that's probably not what you were looking for.
-xdadevelopers-user

Nils 3.0 v2.2 (or 2.1 or whatever version I'm on) is working extremely well for me, I think the bigger question is what about it isn't working for you?

The most stable rom you can use is decks aosp which is built to 2.3.5
No froyo space issues...or lag from the newer sense ports.

You haven't tried the new desire HD 3.0 roms. There is absolutely zero lag and it honestly runs almost as good as the OTA.
If I've helped you, hit the thanks button!

I actually have tried newts new one. I had phantom call issues.
I am not sure how you would know what Roms I have tried.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yes I agree I found a great Rom which is ace revolution 3d, I havnt tried the other devs version of their desire port, but if you have flashed all the diff devs ports, id like to know which is your favorite, I'm just not dissappointed at all with ace rev 3d ROM

Stable rom
[ROM][MikRoms] Desired Inc HD 3D Vthree [Updated:16Sep2011]
This is the most stable ROM I've found so far.

I'm a big fan of Jermaine's I'm a big fan of Jermaine's In-Sensitive Minimalist ROM. It has by far been the most stable ROM I have used. If you're looking for Sense 3.0 he has a Dee-Zire ROM that is AOSP/Sense 3.0.
I haven't personally tried it, but if it's anything like his other work I'm sure it's top notch.

Well a suggestion for sense 3.0 is kingdom stock ginger sense 3.0 it was last updated in June but I've ran it and it's a nice rom though if everything force closes do a factory reset

Desire HD vfive
Try that one is most stable by wildstang
the video recording is choppy for now though but is stable and is sense 3.0

I'm running McSense and everything is stable and fast, but it seems to be taking longer to charge the phone.
No complaints other than that!

For the most stability I'd recommend something close to the stock GB that was recently released, with some enhancements. Two ROMs that stick out in my mind are jermaine's stock+ and mcd's mcsense. Both devs have senseless versions as well which are just as stable.

+1 Jermaine has the most stable ROMs as they are the closest to stock. I personally drive IM 2.3.1 and love it. He stopped his Sense 3.0 ROM in beta for not living up to his standards. You can trust his development to be 100% stable.

I'm running the 666th Sense ROM and loving it. It's the stock framework with some awesomely twisted tweaks, and with tiny's kernel the battery is running better than ever. I've lurked here for forever and have learned a lot - figured I'd throw in my $.02 for whatever it's worth.
Good luck in finding something you love.

What other ROM but unity?

Hey guys,
What others roms are good but unity ? my phone doesn't last that much, battery goes down pretty quick without heavy use. no more than 14 hours .
Anything good non sense ?

Royal Ginger 3.0.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Well, I've been using HoneySense 8 released a few days ago and battery life is incredible. Give it a shot maybe? UI is awesome. Has some quirks yet though' but it's stable. Only problems I've found is the innability to use front-facing camera in the stock app and well, what everyone is talking about in the thread, not being able to use wi-fi calling.
EDIT: OH sorry, if you're looking for anything other than sense, MIUI is my other choice. Used it for a few months back when I had a T-Mo G2/desire Z. I don't know the specs on how it works on the MyTouch 4g, but there's already an official release and some mods out there~ look em up.

my progression:
CM7, Unity, Royal Ginger and now MIUI
Loved Royal Ginger but I like the camera, messaging and dialer on MIUI so i'm staying with it. Plus you can sent MMS on WIFI with MIUI.

MIUI all the way. using the demonspeed mod and TDJ's kernel, its just awesome. great battery life(my best was 23hrs on a full charge), performs very well, and has many themes for customizing. check it out

Derek offers a excellent ROM, and he's quite helpful with your problems(unless you're rude), but besides that it's my top recommendation.

but i think MIUI is unstable sometime
especially when im playing music ,it break down and i just cant shut the power down since it doesnt response ,the only way to solve is to remove battery

My first rom was virtuous unity(sence3.0).. great one! then I tried virtuous doubleshot(sence3.0) and now using MexDroidmod (based on Cyanogen?) Fast and good battery life. Now I need to figure out what next lol

[Q] What is your favorite ROM?

Hey guys, I know this may have been asked a few times already but I wanted to know what your favorite ROM's are as of 2012? I am currently running Legendary ROM 2.2 and I can't say I have any complaints so far. It has only made my phone go from a piece of turd to a diamond. Let me know what you guys like.

And why! Don't just drop a ROM name. Mention which are your favorite features and which other ROMs you might have tried. Maybe this thread will stop the questions "what's the best ROM". Basically it was always asking "what ROM are you using" Because those were the results.

So far legendary has been the best for me! I have tried out thunderhawk (laggy for me) mostly stock (too stock for me)... well let's just say I have tried them all and I always end up back to legendary... it has the perfect balance of themeing, stability, and performance IMO!

Thunderhawk 3.3 has just about every mod I want and runs super smooth with my usage. I like the professional theming and awesome balance of stability, performance, and battery life. I am biased as I help random with some minor debugging at times. There are lots of ways to run your setup, the key is finding what fits your usage. We are all pretty lucky to have so many excellent choices.

Clean GB MTD

MIUI··············

Currently Legendary 2.2 with adw launcher, didn't really care for the launcher that came with it.

Went from Stock EI22 Gingerbread to CleanGB (MTD) to CM7. CM7 rocks!

RandomROM 3.3

Roms used
So far I have used Marcusants ASC roms 5.1 - His V.2 was a fan of the speed, but just not stable. And I'm not a fan of V.2 with the red color theme. I have also Tried MIUI 1.12.23 which worked good, but i like having the app drawer which this did not. I am currently running CleanGB 1.03 with no issues. It is a stable rom, running 4g without issues and installed gtalk w/video. Next on the list is the new CM7 version which seems to have gotten Wifi stable as well as 4g working.
I have to test out all the roms and supply to all the friends/family that have the epic so they dont end up calling me for every error they get

Legendary RC 2.1 rocking my allblue theme on MTD.

CleanGB MTD is a great ROM. No problems, good battery life. Love it
