In search of fast sense Rom

I'm lookin for a good, stable, overclockable, fast sense based Rom, any suggestions? Thanks

RE:OP
The word stable is a complicated word, Is the original stock rom on eve stable, No, Myns two point two may be your best shot.
Overclocking has to be bought(no rom will carry that) from the market,
Try:SetCPU (very reliable, updated alot
AOSP roms are the fastest due to it strictly google(no sense), because sense slows it down.

I am happy with htclovers..

Don't be so lazy. Just read feedback on ROMs.
But I use Myn's warm

For sense roms, there are many that you can choose from.
The top three most popular in no order would be: MikFroyo, Myn, and Calkulin's sense based roms.
They vary to some degree depending on what you like.
Myn's tends to be highly themed, while Mik is more optimized. Calk would have to be in between I guess.
Just my opinion.
You will have to check them all out (not just the ones I've listed) to see which is best for you. We can only give you recommendations since we are not who you are.
It may work for some and not you.
Trial and error.
Note: ALWAYS NANDOID
Peace

I liked mikfroyo with netarchy SBC havs aggressive kernel. But I needed my wii remote so I've become sensless

Fastest would be Mikfroyo

I've tried mikfroyo and koni's elite. I'm more partial to koni's because of the theming. It boils down to personal preference of course but the cool thing about already being rooted is that flashing roms is so easy now that you can just about try them all to find out which one best suits you. I'm beta testing koni's elite series II that i just flashed this morning and so far everything is both fast and smooth.

Warm RLS5 is an "older" ROM (if January is old), so you'll have to perform some tweaks yourself (like SD card speed). Almost every aspect of Sense has been "warmed".
MikFroYo 4.5 is quicker (IMHO). Has the latest speed tweaks cooked in (heap size, SD, etc). Similar to Warm, Sense is heavily themed. For whatever reason, this ROM isn't the most stable on my phone.
Azrael X 4.0 is also quick, but very stable as well. Sense is lightly themed compared to the ROMs above. I keep coming back to this ROM due to its stability with my setup.
If you go with any of the 3 above, you'll need to flash a kernel that allows overclocking. I run netarchy, but it'll be trial and error to find the one that works for you. Check out the development section and read about the different ROMs and Kernels. Good luck.

Babiboi manila carbon fiber or mikfroyo...you can't go wrong with either one.both are fast,stable and smooth as butter.

Myn's Warm Two Point Two is amazing and beautiful. Just apply the SD Card Tweak to make it read faster from SD card and watch it fly. If you prefer a fast but relatively stock Sense ROM, minus the bloat, I recommend Sprint Lover's.

I bounce back and forth between these roms..
Mik,Cal,Azrael and CM..
Currently im using Zone's Mik 4.5 Pure version and im loving it.
There is NO best rom, only the one that suits your needs and visual liking. Most of the popular ones are stable for everyday use. (at least for my usage)
I also use ADW EX as my launcher and things seem to be much more snappier.

Not to get off topic, but do you happen to know where I can find this tweak?

I am currently using koni's elite 1...works great.....looks great....very fast......
Beta testing Elite 2......even faster....looks great.....will probably stick with koni's roms.
But you can't go wrong with myns rls5.......used it since it came out.....but koni's is a bit faster and themed to my liking......tough choice but you can't go wrong with koni's elite or myns rls5...try them both...that is what this hobby is all about...lol
Swyped from my KONI ELITE EVO 4G SUPERSONIC!

I've tried a few, but I like MikFroyo 4.5's speed, but I'm not crazy about the look. I am really liking EvoKings Ultimate FroYo right now...it's built off MikFroyo so it's plenty quick, but the theming is better. I want to try Koni's probably at some point, but it looks awfully similar to EvoKings. I haven't had any issues with any of them.

aamikam- mikfroyo (V4.5) ROMS has taking optimizing sense based ROMS to another level read up on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11190976&posted=1#post11190976
many other mod/themers base their roms off MIKS stock ROM. ...koni, kings, avafroyo, babiboy, dark cocoa to name a few. find the right kernel/rom combo they are all over-clockable.
MIK's rom has a lot of mods you can add if you like that with aps2sd a net kernel. i dont even over-clock and that thing flies also stellar battery life. all depends on what you are looking to use or have in a rom.

I like Sprint lovers...it is my go back to rom....

I'm surprised no one mentioned King's Ultra. It's been just about perfect, and the theming is beautiful, akin to Koni's. I loved Koni's Elite 1, but I had terrrible battery life with it, using several different kernels.
Actually, my battery life pretty much sucks with every set up.
As soon as there's a HTC People mod for CM7, if there ever is, I'm probably gonna go that route.

i disagree that sense slows down the phone. that may be true of benchmarks, but not my real world use. the only non sense rom that i liked was MIUI. I use Warm 2.2, mikfroyo blows in my opinion.

Used Myns a couple of months ago. Liked it but didn't like some of the fonts. Went to Azrael. Was dececent.
Tried Elite I and now Elite II beta....SOLD! Best rom ever. Very fast. The first rom that I could run LP Plus and not end up with a laggy mess.
Great rom!

Any rom reccomendatons

I was wondering if anyone had a rom recommendation. I have used Stock Turbo in the past and it worked well but I had problems with my uptime=my awake time. I had to get a new EVO (Dropped my old one) wondering if some people could give me suggestions on what roms they like and why.
I would like to have Wiimax, Google apps, and wireless tethering.

AOSP all the way.
CM7.

Destroyer for themed awesomeness.
CM7 for customizability
Salvage-Mod or Savaged-Zen for simplicity
MikFroyo for a fast sense ROM
Myns or Kings Unleashed for themed sense awesomeness
EViO 2 for Battery
Warm Z, Mik Z or Unleashed Z for Sense 2.0
Miui or VaelPaek for something different
That's my experiences and recommendations based on what I've tried.
For what it's worth, I usually stay on Destroyer (Variant of CM7).

+1 for Jstalford. He is right on from personal experiance also. I'm currently running Dark Cocoa III and love it. Its sense but quick, everything works, and its very stable.

CM7 or deck's gingerbread imo

Just depends on what you are looking for...
For Gingerbread, I personally use Deck's ROM with Cayniarb's Tiamat kernel. Probably the most solid combination I've used.
I also like CM7 which I will test out from time to time.
For Froyo... Most are good. I don't play around with sense much because I think GB is much better.

Yeah, if you haven't tried GB yet you definitely should, there's a couple small issues that are fixable with a little bit of work.
For sense roms, I'm really liking Virus Airbourne right now, really nicely themed. Netarchy kernels have been giving me great battery life as well.

I just went back to Deck's with RC8. Looking good so far, but I haven't left home long enough to test the battery, but I use the exact same ROM/kernel combo.

If I made a nandroid backup of my stock rooted rom now and flash a new rom (even ASOP rom) can I just reload my old image if I'm not happy with the new rom?

That's correct.

In fact, I forgot to backup my VaelPak flash :X

Myns 2.2 warm or koni's elite for sense or cm7 #36 for aosp.

what does everyone think about Fresh?

Nothing wrong with it. Good Stockish ROM.

New favorite
I have quickly fallen in love with Eternal Prophesy v.4.9. Fast with terrific battery life. Best combination of performance of the half-dozen or so ROMs I've tried so far.

Running omj Rom and sense kernels #15. Gives fantastic battery life.

Recommend a solid Myn 2.2 replacement rom

I've been a happy Myn Warm 2.2+ user for quite some time. I'd like to finally get a solid, fast rom with 2.3 on it. I considered synergy but there seems to be some bugs and battery issues that I'm not really interested in dealing with, nor am I interested in waiting a month or two until some revisions come out that may address these issues. I want a daily rom and I likely won't update it for the life of the phone at this point.
What would you all suggest? Again, I'm most interested in:
1. Solid/stable
2. 2.3 (if it has some of the new sense features that's fine but not required)
3. Good battery life

If your a mynion I highly suggest synergy. There are no battery problems for me. Stock 1500 currently going on 20 hours with 35% charge left. And as for other bugs I haven't run into any in using rls1 godmode.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

If you don't HAVE to have 2.3 I would recommend koni's elite series 3. Very nice Rom similar to myns and super stable. As for 2.3 miui is a very sweet different Rom that's outside the norm of all the rest. A lot of bugs have been fixed but if you need 4g then your out of luck. Someday though...

MikG is an awesome daily. Only flaw is no hdmi out being an EVO shift base.

I'd second MikG 2.45. Most solid/stable ROM I've tried.

I third Mikg 2.45. And lithids freedom 0.8 aggressive kernel

Need help in determining the best ROM

ok, so I just rooted my epic tonight and now am looking for those of you who have tested and retested all the roms out there. I am looking for one that is fast, efficient on the battery and has plenty of bells and whistles without any of the sprint apps that come with stock.

Legendary Rom RC2 with the 3.0 samurai kernel......
And flash a theme if you'd like bells and whistles. 3.0 has cpu ocable to 1.5 and gpu oc'd to 300 or 250 or stock if you want and there's a fps unlock on two of them. My highest quad with the two was 4504 and the two compliment each other very well but you will get some opionated replies id say try em all and see which works best to your liking.

All the roms are slightly different, try them all!
Legendary rom is what I'm running, stable, and everything works

Ever since I picked up my Epic at launch I've missed Cyanogen from my G1. While it isn't perfect in its current state I can't imagine using anything else. It's responsive, it's lean, and it extended my battery life by about four hours when I installed it. There's a list that doesn't work at the moment (911 emergency calls, 4G, several video codecs including Youtube HQ, video recording) but the things that work are fantastic.
I was about to jump to Verizon for a different device, but with the breath that Cyanogen gave my Epic I'm going to ride it out.

I've been using CleanGB since Build13, and have been loving the stability and battery life. I am currently running Build 17 with the Talkback Fix (which is, in effect, Build 18)...

I must Agree.. Legendary Rom RC2 seems to be the Best so far for my phone.. Stable and everything works

i personally like legendary rom rc2 with shadow kernel 1.0.1.....voodoo color is amazing and my battery life is awesome, stability seems excellent

My phone loves CleanGB.

Another CM7 vote here, combined with nubecoder's 0.0.2 kernel. You will want the CM7 1124 WPA fix version.

CleanGB works well for me. Stable, no random reboots. battery life is decent (disclaimer: I've got an 1800mah battery) Black theme is subtle, but better than stock.
Pretty much all I could ask for.

Well put.

Thanks for posting all the suggestions ... I'm new to rooting and this was very helpful. I went with the Clean GB ROM (per this thread) and so far it seems to have good battery life with my heavy usage. I had installed Samurai kernal 3.0 with it but I noticed a lot of issues so I reinstalled the ROM and left it as is.
Thanks again!

I have to say, I've grown to enjoy what Sense 3.5 has to offer. I fully intend the remainder of my phones on contract life to be spent with either Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 or (my currently installed rom) Warm TwoPointThree. I missed out on Warm TwoPointTwo and all it's heyday so I'm fully enjoying my first ever run with the Warm series.
Side note, I think my next android phone will spend its life on AOSP either because:
A) it's a Nexus device
B) I rooted/installed an AOSP rom

My current favs are Stock+/Inc-Deck GB/OMGB
I never have had a good experience with sense 3.0+ roms, too slow and I dont want to overclock although some of the roms are built really well. AOSP is really nice on our old hardware and always runs clean.

I'm on Inc-Deck-GB myself, I guess that probably answers the question.
with special props to SkyRaider 4.+... that was the best sense ROM. I would still use it if it had ever got updated to Gingerbread.

I've never tried MikG, Downloading and flashing tonight ^.^ hows the battery life? What kernel do you use etc? My personal fav has always been CM7

Cm7 loyalist no doubt. It gives the best performance, support, and customization of any rom. When I get a new phone, ill be shopping on the base of roms, and cm7 support is a must.

same here, love CM7. With heavy customization from android kitchen and other apps I'm loving my phone and don't have any urge to try other ROMs (maybe a bad thing?)
Sense always gave my phone a little more bloat, no matter how small it was, I'm still all for faster and leaner so that's why I've been stuck to CM7.

Just loaded up MikG and its booted, but its at the mikmikmik wallpaper, and no unlock screen, i can see the battery, time 3g and signal bar though..

Same happened to me on that rom a few times. I got it booted on my first flash but after that, none.
If you want a fun rom to play around with I suggest anyone of the super stock AOSP roms i.e. OMGB/Bugless Beast. What better way to customize than to start with the bare bones.

MIUI with my WP7 customizations runs like a boss. I underclock to 245/128 when I listen to music only and it runs as maybe a 700 MHz Sense rom would, while getting maybe days of battery.

I'm using Stock Plus with a bunch of themes I blended together. My favorite ROM of all time was WarmZ though. What I would give to have it in Gingerbread form... its what's in my sig actually.

ended up with MIUI
My first flash in the rooting game was McTwist. I enjoyed it but wanted to try something else. I switched to Nils Business GingerSense with sense 3.0 and loved his design and the smoothness. Something happened where after a few weeks my phone became unstable tho. Could have been my kernel or my phone or even the charger I was using since apps crashed when plugged in. I then decided to get away from sense roms and tried MIUI 1.12.9. It's smooth and doesn't seem to have that sense bloat. I flashed the latest incredikernel and have been loving the ROM since. It has custom themes which is great for me. I also find myself using the stock dialer,SMS, and camera instead of searching for an after market app. The only thing I didn't like was the homescreens and the launcher so I just use launcherpro and everything looks good.
So as a recap:
McTwist was good
Nils Business GingerSense was great but caused phone problems for me
Sticking with MIUI for now

I believe it. Probably my personal favorite moment to be a member of XDA was when we first had the GingerSense leak last May. Development just shot through the roof for Sense 2.1+ roms. Sense 2.1 is the sweet spot.
