best rom to run?

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..

[Q] Most Optimized Gingerbread ROM for HD2?

Let me preface this by saying I am not trying to start a "What is the best ROM" thread. My question is simple. Of the many Android ROMs available for the HD2, which is the most optimized and stable Gingerbread ROM? Furthermore, is there some sort of CM7 port for the HD2?

Anyone help !?

After testing several Roms on my retired Leo, my best experience was with HyperdroidGBX. Very very fast, good battery life and overall an excellent ROM.

Personally, I've used NDT MIUI for a quite some time, it's not for everyone I guess, but you could always use a different launcher. It's never given me problems, and it runs smooth as silk
Before MIUI I was a hyperdroid fanboy though, both are excellent roms

I'm sorry but rephrasing the "What is the best ROM" question doesn't make it any different...U didn't even take d time out to check out the Android dev threads, cuz if u did then u surely would have seen not 1 but 2 threads featuring cm7 ports for the HD2....U won't get any real help here cuz we all use our phones differently, wats cool for me might not be cool for u so go out there and flash...flash..flash...Flashing is much safer & far easier than before with the help of CWM...Look @ screenshots & read devs/user posts on wat works and doesn't...Find d ROM dat suits U & U alone....XDA is a development site, so show some effort & u'll be rewarded.
By all means, start here.

I'm sorry but I really didn't want people's personal preferences on ROM's. When I meant the most optimized Gingerbread ROM, I meant the most optimized ROM. Not talking about features, looks or anything else. Just the smoothest one that runs Gingerbread. I also apologize that I didn't look around the forums enough to find the CM7 port thread. I'm still learning my way around these forums and I have very little knowledge regarding these ROMs and such but I will do my best to look for relevant threads.

Sup dude, I second (or third? haha) HyperDroid. It's based on CM7 and is very stable. There's two versions, I'd go for the out that was updated on the 29th of April because I think the dev has stopped working on the other one.

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I will do some more research on HyperDroid and give it a shot when I get my HD2. Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.

i can recommend you the ndt roms. the gingerbread and the miui are both very fast and stable.
i also used hyperdroid before which is very good too but ndt worked better for me.

I base my own tests on how good gun bros runs on the roms i have tested and till now only NexusHd2- from tytung runs this game without any problems. All other roms failed. It may be that i am doing something wrong but is very unlikely.

I've tried CM7 nightlies and tytung's rom, both have issues last I checked (last week). Tytung build seemed great, but just had the phone app lockup/issue mid-call (perhaps it's fixed by now).
I settled on Tyween's TyphooN CM7 "nightly" build, and have had no issues at all since the install.

Avoid asking about the best if you can. As for a ROM you may like try AmeriCanAndroid. It's a CM7 port that Copenhagen and I work on. I'm a TMo person too btw.

If you are looking for the most stable and fast rom, try tytung Gingerbread v2.9. Many will tell you that it is simply the best andriod rom out there.

This is kinda like asking what do you prefer crunchy or creamy peanut butter...your bound to get many different responces. lol.
Check out this site. It lists almost all the nand android ROMs found here on XDA in a place thats much easier to find it.
AmeriCanAndroid is a great ROM and its updated often so thats always a good starting point. if your one that prefers HTC sense then maybe try out RAFDROID HD. i've personally found this ROM very fast and stable. If you like more of a iphone type feel then try a miui ROM out. i would suggest LADY MIUI or D4RK MIUI.
There really is no one best ROM, i think anyway. This is because everyone has their phone set up slightly different and also want different things on their cell. just try out a few ROMs intill you find something you want to stick with for a little bit of time and see how it goes. It took me several months to settle on a ROM because i always wanted to flash every new ROM that came out. lol.

I tried Miui, Sense and cynogen based roms; Miui has the best home applications like the camera app, phone app, etc. The fastest (real difference), with lots of tweaks and the best baterry for me is Dorimanx High end rom, although some of his builds are not stable because he is always updating his rom. Im using dorimanx rom right now, although im waiting to see if Hyperdroid is updated wich is another excellent rom.

Hello,
I tried BoyPPC ROMs and it's quite fast, stable and regularly updated so it seems well followed.

But I agree with previous comments that it depends on your configuration and your needs. each one has pros and cons and you should just test the one that best fits to your needs.

Since Feb I'm using AmeriCanAndroid (well, cope's sd rom at that time, before he and warrenb started together AmeriCanAndroid). Haven't changed to anything else since then. Have switched to the nand version since 2-3 weeks and I'm happy with it.

Pyramid
I tested many Roms.
Because I like that HTC stuff, I searched a long time for a stable Sense 3 ROM.
This ROM is amazing and works verry well and smooth:
Pyramid HTC WWE 1.35.401.1 - Real 3D [V2.2][RAF 1.9GB]

Iv been trying to get that one for awhile but is not working

I'm currently using my stock froyo ROM with sense, and using the nfinitymc4 kernel(which means I can overclock, this is the kernel you need if you are using a sense based ROM), I prefer this to CM, as I believe its easier to use, looks better and is as smooth performance as Cyanogen.

I'm also using just a stock 2.2 with sense. i tried a few others but with every installation the phone seemed to get slower and slower. I did it all right but meh... anyway mines just a stock 2.2, but rooted and i reckon it runs great (considering the hardware limitations that is....)

I'll stick to stock. Any modifications in order to improve performance on stock roms?
Sent from my Desire HD

I am the developer of SkEye ( I can't post URLs yet. Search on Android Market by that name). The app works fine on 99% of the phones but not on HTC Wildfire! On Wildfire stock ROM, the app receives a SEGFAULT and closes silently. This shouldn't happen for a Java application, and from the logs it appears to be a bug in the OpenGL implementation in the stock ROM.
I don't have a Wildfire phone myself; but I get lots of user reports by email and Market comments.
Since we are talking about the best ROMs, can you try my app on your ROM and see if you manage to not crash the app?
Here's the exact sequence of steps to reproduce the bug:
Set the location on first run. Approx location will do.
Click Menu -> Indirect Mode
Click Add new alignment
Select any object. Doesn't matter which.
Click "Return" or press the back key.
Search for any object (Menu -> Search or the Search button)
If the app doesn't crash after this, please let me know your ROM. I will recommend it to my users.
Thanks!

Does your app depend on the usage of a GPU? The Wildfire and the Tattoo are among the few phones that doesn't have it, so that could be the problem.

It does require OpenGL, but doesn't strictly require a GPU. The interesting thing is that the app doesn't crash outright. It crashes only after the above steps are executed. I will start a separate thread in the developer section when I get access to it. For now, I would like to know if its a ROM specific issue. Particularly, does the Cyanogen ROM have this bug or not.

It crashed here also, on latest CyanogenMod 7 nightly. The "called unimplemented OpenGL ES API" errors in the log are fairly common though, and happens with almost all apps using OpenGL, like games etc. They still work fine though.

This isn't a issue of cyanogenmod, its because an older version (gmaps 5) is running on the sense roms, you can deinstall on cyanogen the new version of gmaps and install the old 5.0 and its running like on a sense rom. So don't blame cyanogenmod ( the best mod for me so far), no offence to you but most of the complains about cm7 are about users don't know how to handle cm7.

I'm not knocking CM - I've used it and know the workarounds. However, the OP asked for the best sense ROM so I gave my opinion.

well i have tried, CM7, remPuzzle and jokerdroid. for me jokerdroid is the best, its very simple too, just flash the thing and you are good to go. i really like the aero theme too.

I hate threads like this, each rom has its good points and also bad points too.....
Its all about preference try the different roms till you find one that suits you, its taken me nearly 3 months to make my mind up and trust me I've tested every rom. I don't believe in an out of the box rom as the customization of android is just unbelievable, every single rom can be tailored to your own needs, tweaked for extra performance and should be too, else what's the point in this community?
I've only been using android for around 5 months to its full potential and everyday I'm learning more and more ways to make my phone my own and as unique as I can make it.

Question, I know there is an Alpha for ICS in the works right now. Do the developers already have everything they need to develop the rom or does a phone like the Galaxy Nexus which will have ICS stock have to come out first?
As for a good current rom, I'm running Mik 2.61, very clean, stable and great battery life. It's a Sense rom, different themes are available.
