Personally, I'm a fan of Nebula (link in my sig). The dev is a software professional who requires a stable platform for his work and as such its quite a stable ROM. I love it and if she wants something slick looking (not to say its not already slick looking) you can add the gingerbread theme (also in my sig). In my opinion, its the best combination out there for speed and stability. Good luck in your choice whatever it may be!
I like the setup in my sig. Very nice looking rom and I love the startup animation when booting it up. Whichever one you go though you won't be disappointed. They are all great in their own way.

I agree with this.
Nebula Rom + Gingerbread Theme = Best speed and stability out there, in my opinion.
Looking into it
Thanks.. Man, Im bidding for the phone on Ebay.. except she might want the EVO haha. Thank you guys though. If you have any other suggestions please, let me know! Very Appreciated!
I vote for midnight rom ext4

How many have you tried so far?
I have been looking into 2.3 Rom and there are few out there as of today that include gingerbread. I am not sure which is best, what would be recommended by users experience.
I did take a look at the Wiki Page about roms and browsed through the pages.
I would like to get some feedback from you guys that already updated their roms to what would you recommend and pros and cons that you found.
Thank you
Cyanogenmod 7 is the undisputable best. No other ROM will work as flawlessy. A manufacturer could not have written a better ROM. It's perfect in every aspect. If it's your first time messing with ROMs then I would suggest this one because otherwise you will have issues with other ROMs. Besides every function works for CM7. GPS, camera, 4g, etc...
Deck's or Salvage mod are the way to go.

You are telling me that those ROMs work as perfect as CM7? I don't believe it.
Depends on your preference. Sense or aosp? A lot of them still have some bugs but if you search the forums you can find fixes. Just make sure to make a backup before you flash! What may work great for you might not for someone else due to different hardware and what not. Trial and error is the only way!

...WELL! from my experience flashing roms, if you want to flash and roll about your day and not worry then a sense rom like FRESH or Mikfroyo or Sprintlovers is the way to go.
if you like to tinker and update and check in on responses about issues on a daily basis, a AOSP rom like cm7 is the way to go.

Hardly. Marginally. Barely.
Its not drastic. If at all. Only because it is, essentially, CM7 minus some 'system bloat.' Don't believe the night and day hype.

I've exclusively used CM7 for quite some time now...just switched over to evodeck and it's been a flawless experience. CM7 has given me random issues here and there. If someone asked me which one I would recommend between the two? evodeck for sure as of now. You also get 2.3.4 with evodeck instead of 2.3.3 with CM7.
I've been using Misfit's port of Shift Rom and its amazing. Gingerbread with Sense 2.1=WIN!!! lol

woe! ok, ok you special, everything works for you and i know it is for many but you still the minority...so you flashed cm7 and dont care to flash a nightly or mod it? thats the most fascinating part about CM!
dont get me wrong CM is an awesome developer and ROM but thats the price some have to pay for cutting edge ****!
if you read the threads the majority of posts are issues and how to go about fixing them, not just this thing is flawless and doesnt need anymore updates!
if that was the case you would see stable releases once in a blue moon.
im running UD ROM which is a variant of CM7. i got most things operational but get glitches every now and then, but i know my way enough to figure it out so it dont efffect me much... but for someone inquiring about flashing AOSP i was just voicing my opinion and merely stating that if you are the type to get involved and join in to discuss what can help with the advancement of CM and AOSP, as pros and cons as asked by OP...
dickhead!
My aosp daily is Kings out of this world and my daily sense is Evolvedrom shifted. I second JRE77 though. My phone doesn't like certain roms that work great on another phone. Just use RA recovery, have a good working backup, wipe everything and flash away. You'll find one. Half the fun of being rooted is trying a bunch a different roms. Lord knows I have and still do even though I have my daily drivers
If your new to roms I would try CM7 first. I personally prefer myn's stuff because I like sense better.

I completely understand what you are saying but at the same time I was suggesting a rom that would give hime no trouble bc if he is asking then chances are he is not experienced and does not want all sorts of truble being his first time. I totally understand the testing phase and how that can be fun but you must understand what my POV was.
Well, I flashed to CM7 and all my apps like phone and such were gone. Can you guys please assist

Did you do a full wipe?
"Whoop there it is"
I get an error even trying to go to stock ROM
"it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 gingerbread"
Please help. I am fairly new to rooting and am stock. Any tutorial will do
You have an HTC Evo Shift? You rooted it and put a custom OS on it?
Awesome.
First timer right her who wants to ask your preference, the only thing I have to have is the ability to tunnel my internet to project a free hotspot. That is available in CM7, so far I am leaning towards a nightly build... But essentially since I have not done this before, I don't know the best, I'm sure no one knows the "best"...BUT I would very much like to know your favorite considering that is my main concern

I really like Sense Roms, especially sense 3.0. I was rocking a stock, rooted rom, but got tired of HTC dragging their feet releasing the source code for the Shift. I flashed CM 7.1 stable, with Scary Ghoul 3 kernel, running at 1.5 gHz. But, if HTC already had source code for the gingerbread release, I'd still be on a sense rom.
Created a whole thread about this. Here you go.

If you like Sense then it's gotta be Supreme Sense. Real nice ROM with lots of bells and whistles and a very nice camera app.
Me personally, I prefer CM7. I want raw performance and the maximum amount of customizability and CM7 offers all that more than any other ROM.
@Vico
The thread you specified was...
[INFO] Cyanogenmod 7 optimal settings for Evo Shift 4G on SPRINT (Updated 10-7-11)
Which is not what I'm looking for, I happened to say I was looking into CM7, but would be open to another OperatingSystem all together. CM7 does good work, but honestly they are the only ones I know about. So I would be narrowminded to assume the only one I know about would be the best choice. Since alot of people on this forum have done alot to their phones their input on a recommended OS will be followed.
Well I'm sure you know it depends on your usage, and preferences. I'm a Sense kind of guy. If your looking for a sort of stock Rom with a lot of extras that's quick, than MikShifted G v1.75 is a great choice. Stable, Reliable, and Fast. If your looking for something a little more over the top that's still stable, reliable, and fast. Than Supreme Sense is it, eye candy plus.

Don't discount MIUI.. there are a lot of people into it for one reason or another. Myself being one of them. Someone new to flashing roms might find it's exactly what they're looking for.

I think miui is pretty cook because you can literally change everything! A ton of themes and icon packs. Just so many ways to customize. But I live supreme. I just can't leave it!
I flashed miui just to flah it and I haven't flashed another rom since... love the ui straight and to the point, lots of themes is def a plus... I have no 4g so don't miss it at all...

Thanks vee1287. You should join us in the chatroom.
I guess I'll go looking for it after attempting and hboot downgrade again. I dont want to talk about it here though, It would technically be off topic. bah.
What are the pros/cons of each?
Which one is 'better'? I know sometimes it's difficult to answer questions like that with quantitative certainty so thought I could generate a discussion here which will lead to a better understanding of my end on which ROM is better suited for me and others like me.
Thank you for your responses.
vanilla is almost the same thing other than well its vanilla...meaning less customization and no pull down menu widgets... Imo both are really good but I like cm7 the best!
CM7 is awesome, but ICS is the new sheriff in town
So neither is faster or slower than the other?
Any particular customizations to functionality you guys like in CM7 that isn't present on Vanilla GB?
ICS does look nice but there are still some bugs that prevent me from installing it on my GF's phone. I personally could work around them but don't think it's ready for prime-time quite yet. Impressive work though, nonetheless!
I think jts vanilla gb is a bit faster.

^ LOL. Yeah, but there's no working camcorder. We kind of need that...
Anyway, thanks for your responses. JT's ROM did seem very smooth for the few minutes I ran it before I went to CM7. I was seriously considering just stopping there and not installing CM7. Don't know what directions I used but it instructed me to load 'GB bootloaders' etc. and was about 14 steps long.
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,

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.
