Whats the fastest ROM currently available?

I'm running fresh 2.0d right now, but it seems to be a bit laggy..which ROM will give me the best performance/stability?
Thanks guys, love these forums

Um....hmm, can't really answer that one. I've tried like all of the roms out there, though I've never really had the same experience twice. I would just nandroid backup and spend time with all of them until you find the one that works best...

True, but I'm just looking for ROMs that people recommend/use daily that work well. I'm gonna try DamageR right now, I've already tried DamageControl and Flipz, so I'm gonna try some other ones and see how it goes.

SEARCH AND READ...that's seems to be the answer to every single post being made today. It's all here in black and white. One search I recommend in all honesty is search the word:
"BENCHMARK" and read the thread started by flipzmode. It's a really good read.

I heard that CakeButt.ClownPenis 1.3 was really fast!!!! Check it out.

I just spit coke all over the computer at school...thanks Kbizz.

RegawMOD is pretty good and the new FreshToast is also fast once it's setup right... I've tried just about every 2.1 rom available on this site and those are the ones I like the most.

I know it benchmarked the worst but as far as regular use RegawMOD 2.1 is the best and fastest running rom in my experience, that is also on the .29 kernel...

If you search for flipzmode benchmark you will see that all 2.1 rom all run about the same speed.
Other then flip/toast OC rom should run the fastest and its the only rom that will actually show a big difference in benchmarks.
Water it down like all the other "fast" roms and youll have one that is actually fast do to overclocked processor.
Its not made for everyone, and the camera isnt working yet (i have a feeling its not far away).

Hey no problem!! Bout choked myself when I first read it.. My favorite rom name to date!! Wish I could cook.....

This is hardly a scientific analysis, but I have been running DC, flipz, and Regaw's roms interchangably for the past few weeks, and today switched from Sense to the Helix launcher.
The biggest difference in UI performance came from ditching Sense...it was actually a noticeable difference in responsiveness
That being said, I don't think you'll notice a whole lot of difference between the individual ROMs with Sense, so base your choice on what programs/features each ROM has versus which is fastest...in everyday use, you won't be able to tell a difference, IMHO.

So I got DarchVanilla, and I really like it, but the market doesn't have all my apps.. Is there a fix for this yet?? I really like this one, it's very responsive and close to lag free.

+1 The reason I chose RegawMOD is because it was basically a stripped down rom. It allowed me the room to load the programs that I wanted without having to strip useless (for me) programs from the rom. Very nice, stable.

I've found that using Ic3Rom with some apps removed from it, the old OpenGL restored on it, and Launcher2 installed, it's incredibly fast. It looks like AOSP, but has the current stability and function of a HTC ROM. Give it a shot if you haven't

I've used almost all of the roms available out there I thing fresh works better, if u don't want lag you would hve to use aosp

+1 for RegawMOD being the best of the ones currently available that gives me what I want. I really like fresh 2.0d except that is was really laggy IMO too. I can't handle laggy, and RegawMOD doesn't appear to have any of that lag, and so far everything I need and want works just fine on it, including googlevoice, but I only use googlevoice for my voicemail, no idea about sending and receiving calls with it.

Plunge into cm6

Im about to take the plunge and flash cm6, does anyone have any advice or suggestions for cm 6.1.1
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Just make sure you wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache) twice before flashing. And remember to flash gapps afterwards. You'll enjoy the speed and change of pace in Cyanogen. But I found it to be a little dull especially coming from Myn's. I went back to Myn after running Cyanogen for a while. CM just looked like every other Android phone out there.

I am almost sure that wiping everything twice is just as effective as wiping once....
The two downsides on Cyanogen is the lack of 4G support and the really nice copy and paste from sense.

Yea that's what I'm afraid of happening but I see a lot of people with cm6 and it just looks cool because of stuff they did with it.

because CM is pretty lackluster without it (when you're used to a Sense based rom with eye candy). Some people like the barebones feel of CM I guess. My service is with Cricket so I don't even have 4G with my Evo, so that's not a concern of mine with running CM. I don't have a tiny hdmi cable either so no HDMI out in CM doesn't bother me either. CM has better a better bluetooth stack than Sense roms and allows you to use BT controllers like a wiimote (but gaming on your phone is lame when you have a much better PSP and computers and consoles haha). Even with those 3 things all going for me with CM I still ended up using (and making) a Sense rom. It just LOOKS a lot better.
Damn, I just realized I don't even use Sense, I have it disabled and use LP (non pro lol). I'll probably end up with a 2.3 AOSP rom eventually. GB sure looks (visually) much better than previous stock android versions.

I recently just rooted. I deleted ADW and installed Launche Pro Plus. It's a terrific combo. Another vote for that set up.

flash zendroid and enjoy amazing performance with 844 Max on setcpu . Plus great battery life. Amazingness make you not wanna go back to sense ever ever again
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.

CM is lackluster without LP? Seriously? Unless they've changed it since I last used it (granted, it has been a while), CM was using ADW as the default launcher, which is pretty much as full featured as LP.

Stable Gingerbread build for daily yet?

Sometimes interpreting all the [tags] and t3Rmin0logy in the dev forum can be a bit of a headache for us non-dev types who are just looking for the latest and greatest ROMs and kernels to try out without necessarily compiling something from scratch.
So that's why I made this post. I'm really interested in trying out a Gingerbread 2.3 ROM but I'm not sure what the general consensus is on this without reading several hundred posts/replies.
Can anyone with insight summarize?

Basically, you won't have a stable gingerbread release until:
- CM7 is declared stable (for AOSP roms)
- HTC releases a gingerbread ROM themselves (for Sense roms)
Neither of those appear to be about to happen in the immediate future. So for now, I don't think any of them are officially considered stable for daily use.

Ive been using the ROM in this thread as my daily driver for a while now. Enjoy

Been running evervolv since the beginning and I use it as my daily. I absolutely love it. The only problem right now is the gps works great for some and off and on for others but the developer has added the app gps status to the newest build and the gps seems very stable now as a result. Also, as of right now the camcorder doesnt work but it is being worked on. Other than that u just have the other issues like u would with any other aosp rom. Which is no 4g and no hdmi. But if your wanting to try gb I highly recommend this rom. The developer is awesome and it's been updated almost nightly. Like I said, I've been using it everyday since it's been out and haven't regretted it one bit. Hope that helps.

I would have to disagree with that. Like I just stated, I've been using evervolv as my daily and haven't thought twice about it. Besides gps being a little shaky and no video recording I would have to say it's been as stable as any other rom I've ran and I've ran almost all of them.

i'm running the cm7 rc0 right now and it is pretty sweet. i wont be using it as a daily driver because i love sense's widgets especially the task one. but if you like aosp roms then it is your dream.

You don't need video recording or GPS? Or is that fixed now? I've been watching the thread (not lately though because of the holiday) and all that still needs work. I'd love to use this ROM as a daily driver but I need video rec. and GPS/Latitude/Sprint Family Locator are a must.

Well video and gps aren't really that important to me but actually gps is working fine for me on evervolv's latest release. So for what I need it to do it's extremely stable. Just depends on what your needs are.

Shaky GPS + no video = GARBAGE. I don't think most people use the Evo just for phone calls. Myn's rom with the gingerbread keyboard has been more then enough to hold me over until he comes out with a 2.3 rom. CM is cool n all but no 4G or HDMI is wack. If you bought the evo to use all its features and not because it looks like an oversized iphone, just stick with Myn and try to be patient.

I've been using the GB rom posted by AndroidBall as a daily driver and have been very pleased. Camcorder FC and obviously no 4G (none in my area anyway) and no HDMI (no need), but otherwise rock solid and incredibly fast. The most impressive aspect of GB, or at least this rom, has been the battery life. As good as any rom I've ever tried and way better than any AOSP rom I've used previously. That alone is reason enough to stick with a somewhat incomplete version of GB for now.

mmm....and patience just oozes from your post.
assuming someone is able to read the OP on a given thread, they should be able to identify what is working vs not working. so long as the 'not workings' do not impact that user then it's fine.
some folks don't live in 4G areas and others (like myself) live in a 4G area but haven't missed it that much. although a second radio would be handy so Trillian doesn't loose connection when i get a phone call. Other folks feel that 4G is either a requisite or their god-given-right (the last one usually points out the $10 fee as their landmark).
and i haven't gone out to buy that $30 cable so i can watch 720p movies on my 1080p TV. my home network is setup to handle that task.
some folks just plain don't like using Sense or prefer to support/use ASOP as much as possible. many folks have commented on the speed and fun-features of CM.
that being said, the CM7RC0 is stable for standard usage (ie: it doesn't randomly reboot or try to melt your sdcard or format your home computer and is no long likely to try to kill your kitten. it has not reached RC1, which kinda means it's not done cooking (so...keep an eye on the kitten). I would expect a RC1 in the not too distant future. i've been using this thread .... just make sure to read the OP for things working vs not working.
when CM7 is released it should come wimax and maybe the upgraded hdmi.
what i like about Lithid's thread is that he doesn't try to take responsibly for the ROM. he just gave some good instructions on how to compile from the CM repo so that i can do it myself whenever i like. not that i'm likely to continue once the nightlys are back.

I wouldnt call them garbage but I agree with you in the point you made about not using a rom thats not 100% functional. Pretty much the main reason I stick with the sense roms.

I guess I just like my phones features to actually function. Guess that's a wild idea. $30 for micro hdmi to hdmi? Try $5.80 @ monoprice for 10 ft. and good quality too. Don't wanna watch 720p on your 1080p tv? No neither would I but you might wanna play a game you have on your phone, including all the roms you could have, on your tv. Or you could play 720p video that you shot on your phone on your big hdtv, but your rom might not even record video so so much for that idea. Why would you not want those things to work.
Its like: I got a keyboard to sell you, trouble is only 20 letters still work, but you probably don't use those anyway, still want it?

Please try and stop being so defensive, Welsh. 4g and HDMI out are really cool features. I don't think anyone is going to argue that point with you. But for a lot of people, they are just not used much, if at all. Do I want to be able to plug my phone into my TV? Heck yes. And I have a cable for it. But why on earth would I ever need to do that? I have 5 computers I can hook up to my tv, plus a 360, ps3, wii, etc.
The only real use of the hdmi out, at least for me, is that I can take it to someone else's house and plug it into their tv, but I've never done that. I doubt I ever will, either, so it's a feature that I personally don't use.
Then there's 4g, which is another really cool feature that doesn't get much use. I have 4g where I'm at, but I also almost always have wifi, too, so again, I almost never use the feature. Also remember that a lot of people don't even get 4g service, so they can't use it.
A better keyboard analogy is this: I've got a keyboard to sell you. It's probably the nicest keyboard you'll ever use, but it has no function keys or a caps lock.
As long as you don't actually use the function keys or the caps lock, then the keyboard is a great choice. Similarly, Cyanogenmod is (in my opinion, of course) the best rom for this phone. Sure, it's missing some features (features that are being worked on, by the way). But I don't use them, so I'm not going to miss them. There's no need to get hostile.

Problem is nothing is being sold or paid and there is no implied 100% functionality from the developers. I'd almost say if you want 100%, Sense and taking it a little further, Stock OEM Rom is your only real bet. Even the cleanest custom Sense Roms have little quirks.
So being overly critical of the "gifts" being given (by way of these Roms) is a little sh*tty but don't get me wrong, to each their own, people can gripe to the high heavens as it's just how people can be.
Everevolv has been very solid for me but I will deal with no 4G and no video recording (are these really that big of a deal to so many people?) and the Maps isn't essential BUT of all the things not working in this ASOP rom is the biggest in my mind... so I just don't get lost.
Anyone that has been in the "flashdance" game for awhile knows what we are getting ourselves into. If you aren't prepared, don't join this crowd. If you have a problem with a rom and would consider dogging it, then the easy thing to do is NOT FLASH IT. I really do think its bad taste to flame on about something you aren't paying and was provided freely and certainly not with malicious intent.
Maybe I'm just getting soft...

I guess what I meant was more about it being "officially" stable. I don't think any of the developers of the GB roms are advertising it as a stable build yet. Evervolv isn't even being called a beta yet -- the dev is quite clear in calling it an alpha. That doesn't mean it can't meet your needs just fine for daily use. But nobody's claiming to have a ROM that's intended to be as solid as a 2.2 ROM yet.
I also think that it's fair to say that until CM, which I think it looked to as the definitive AOSP ROM developer (no offense to those behind MIUI or any of the other devs) says that CM7 is ready for prime time, it's still not quite there. And it's definitely fair to say that until HTC releases a GB update (or at least we see a beta leak), we won't see any Sense GB ROMs, at least nothing beyond an experimental hybrid of the two.
I may have also read too much into the subject of the OP. The body makes it clear (s)he is looking to go cutting edge. But the subject said stable for daily use, and I read that in the more stricter sense of whether something is declared stable.

True. I suppose "Stable" really is subjective. I have no boot loops or randomness FC's or reboots, that's stable to me. A romrom that is stable yet completely unfunctional is no good but stable and hitting on most of the core functions of the phone works for somw, not for others.
Good post and who knows, the OP may have yet another idea of what stable is to them.

.. desiring to have all the features work on your device makes total sense to me. but why should i cry over spilled milk when i don't use/drink milk?
.. like cole said, the only time i can see a use for the hdmi is if put a movie on my sdcard and went over to a friends house. yeah, that would be kinda slick. but i'd have to make sure to remember to bring the cable with me. which if you knew me...would make you laugh. prolly should get a larger sdcard as well.
.. i play real games on my big screen not AngryBirds or PenguinToss. i have taken only 3 or 4 video recordings with my evo since i got it opening weekend. all of them were me just testing/playing with settings.
.. if i like the keyboard and i don't use those keys, sure. the reverse would be like saying it's stoopid to buy a sports car (Corvette, Ferrari, Bugatti, etc) because you cannot use the primary feature set. or the avg single person using a SUV for their daily commute should take the train or ride a bike/moped.
do you you see what is trying to be conveyed here?
not everyone uses the device in the same way. this is a fine and wonderful thing. so long as we are aware that others may try to use the device in ways that we don't even think of. it's wise of us to remember this and be open to different utilization needs/desires. for example, one person is unable to migrate to CM6 due to no 4G. for them 4G was a real big deal since they tethered their pc to it everyday. i have yet to tether my device other than to show off. for someone else, they require GPS to be rock solid, i use it rarely. i do like the idea that i can compile my own OS, most folks don't give a ****. i like that i'm running an AOSP ROM, many folks don't know what it means or why some consider it important. do you see where i'm coming from? i don't slam your Sense based ROM's because they are slow and kludgey compared to CM. actually, if you want to know the gods honest truth...what i miss MOST from the Sense based ROMs....all over Copy/Paste and integrated FB picture sync to the contact list. those are features that feel i 'gave up' in order to run CM, not HDMI or 4G.
oh yeah, we are also discussing a RC0 ROM. do you know what RC0 means? it means the Dev's consider the ROM not ready for public consumption. it hasn't even reached official RC1 (aka: Beta). and i'll still run it before i run a Sense based ROM. every time i load a Sense ROM, my device is back onto CM before the following sunset occurs. but that is MY choice. it is MY preference. now gfowygdfsbrtbs.

[Q] What is the most stable and fast rom for Mytouch 4g?

Hey, ive been looking for an answer to this for a long time on youtube and google, but all ive found is a night version of cyneagon. I want a stable and fast version, not a nightly version that has bugs. Thanks for looking!

Try and benchmark your own...Even with speed you still have personal preference of Sense vs Gingerbread.
I like Sense, and have been using Ice Glacier happily. Doesn't seem "slow" at all; everything is very responsive. Is CM7 or a non-Sense build faster? Maybe, but I don't really know and probably won't find out since I don't want to give up the Sense UI yet.

to kinda second/expound on what Genocaust said... If you want fast and stable, first you need to decide if you want AOSP (Vanilla Android), Sense or Espresso Sense (TMO version of Sense).
AOSP = either eVil D's G2 Port or CM6.1.2 RC2. both very nice and stable but I don't think the G2 port has working FFC (Front Facing Camera)
Espresso Sense = Hands down Ice-Glacier, a nice stripped down and very quick version of stock.
Sense = either eVil D's Desire HD or Desire Z ports or Gr8Gorilla's Desire HD port. all 3 are very stable and quick and have many, many more "stock" HTC apps/widgets than Espresso. (personally I use Gorilla's as my daily driver with tiger13's Gorilla Red Theme).
they are very nice and stable ROMs and if I remember correctly they all come with atleast a mild Over Clock Kernel.
Edit : I forgot about MIUI, it's kinda like a blend of AOSP and iOS. some people really like it but personally it's not for me. if you decide to try out MIUI, eVil D has a really nice stable one.

last few nightlies for CM7 have been pretty damn stable.

If you're looking to have good battery life I would stay away from Sense. I really noticed a difference when I went from Evil 4G's Desire HD rom to CM7. Really makes a big difference.

I personally am a HUGE fan of Cyanogen's ROMS, they are fast. quick and have GREAT battery life. I beat up on my phone all day long and i can last 1 1/2 days on a single charge.
as far as CM7 v. CM6, CM6 is more "official" being that they do have an official channel log and support group for it. But CM7 is extremely stable. I've been using it as my DD for a few weeks now.

Like the OP, I'd like a cleaner, faster ROM but...... I'd like to keep Sense and I HAVE to have WiFi calling! Is there any MyTouch 4G ROM other than stock that will allow me to retain WiFi calling?

I know what ya mean about WiFi calling a must, I live in a valley and have **** signal at the house.
Ice-Glacier, eVil D's Desire HD port (I believe his Desire Z port does also), and Gorilla's Desire HD port. the 2 DHD ports are ALOT smoother and lighter on your memory due to not having TMO's Espresso overlay on top of HTC Sense. personally I use the Gorilla DHD port.

I use exactly what RavenWulf has in his sig; it is quite fantastic, everything is silky smooth and, this being my first Android device, I found the addition of more customization options in the stock sense UI awesome!
My wife runs stock (soon Iced Glacier once I can pry it out of her hands!) and with the same kernel as me (faux123 v0.2.2); no complaints from her end on that.

CM6.1........

I've had great experiences with both cyanogen and I've basically flashed every rom avaliable for the mytouch 4g. Cyanogenmod 7 was by far the fastest for both gaming and productivity but felt a little bit unstable at times. Im now using miui and really like it.

CM7 is working fine for me... well you can always go with CM6

I just did CM7 yesterday, was running stock. CM7 nightlies rock. Couple of minor problems here and there (rebooted twice on me for no apparent reason). But it boots so fast, I don't really care. The benefits outweigh the problems.
I was going to do Iced Glacier, but it looks like development on it has ended as of a few days ago.

MIUI = fast + stable + awesomeness
Currently running CM7 which has the same formula.

so what would be best for someone that doesnt care about sense.........

Your mad and confused??
Just try them!!!!

i have tried almost 7 rom, and only One made a big diffrent on speed, now i just installed DL.Desire and im about to take it off cuz i dont like it. slow down my device

try to put your HD2 on a treadmill and see which one RUNS the FASTEST !!!
+1 ohhh yeahhhh !!!

I'm going to release my rom tomorrow. It's super fast. I mean, even when installing an app through market, there is literally no lagg, or decrease in the speed. Plu sI can play a 1080p youtube video, and video. Also, i've done what no other developer has done, get 720p recording working on our phones. Plus I've readjusted the camera drivers so the camera captures more detail, and the colors are more on spot, but of course with a taste of contrast which everyone likes.
Buy a galaxy s 2 for all that stuff. xD

Desire HD builds need time for system to settle before they are useable properly and lag has gone.
If you want a smooth, fast rom you should install a non-sense version like NexusHD2, Its very stable and very fast.

I'm on my second ROM. Its the NexusHD ROM and its super fast and stable.
I'm going to try Typhoon Cyanogen this weekend.
I think its out of NexusHD and Typhoon Cyanogen for fastest ROM's.
I tried a Sense ROM first but to was way to laggy for my liking and it did give it a week with about 6 reboots - it was still too laggy.

I have until recently used Ultimate Droid 3 since my beggining of magdlr and it is a super fast and stable rom. But since its development came to a long pause I tried several 2.3.4 roms. Currently using Pongsters HyperDroid and it is very good rom. Before that I used tytungs NexusHD which is by far the fastest rom I have tried, but it is a very basic rom so I wanted to try a CM7 rom. Tyweens rom seamed laggy comparing to UD3 and NexusHD so I tried HyperDroid and still using it.
Haven't used any Sense rom since I moved to magdlr. I found out on SD builds that I dont really need it.

Best rom is the TyphooN_CM7_v3.3.7-MAGLDR.zip + my tweaks from my tweaks page!
It's just best! try and stay with us!
see you on tyween tread and my tread!

Try any cyanogenmod (ported or not all of them are fast) build.

The winner is....
IMO Hyperdroid GBX is the "fastest", turn off all animations in display settings and it flies! Hyperdroid Cm7 is right behind it in terms of speed (again IMO) probably tied by Typhoon Cm7. Ive recently become a big fan of "Sense of Eclipse" and if you want a Sense ROM thats the way to go I havent tried all the great ROMs on xda but those are my choices. Good luck!
