I switched from cm7 to royal Ginger 1.6. Very fast and responsive. Moving from screen to screen is quick. Apps load up fast. Actually i am having trouble using up my battery everyday before charging it at night. Sometimes it will last two days without needing to be charged. Coupled with faux's latest kernel Cfs lv I have not run into any problems so far. Signals are good and strong.

I moved from CM7 to RG1.6 and can say it runs a bit faster and good on battery.

I have to give that a try sometime. faux keeps releasing a new version every day...i am tempted. I have always been fan of pure google experience (and then customize on my own)

use the new CM7 (7.0.2) its very stable.

If you want pure aosp that is fast as hell without the extra crap... get faux's rom. Its amazing.

Don't really like questions like this but every rom is different. It is all personal preference. Your phone is different as well it may not like certain roms. You should do try out different roms to see what your phone likes best.

Running faux's AOSP rom! Fabulous!

which one is better...
I think what is being asked here is not which one is better, because that answer would be based on opinion; the info sought here is what are the ups and downs of each ROM so he will know which one would be best for him.

The only way to know based on your own preference is to try them all. It only takes a few minutes to change roms. I suggest you try them all for a few days each ans go from there.
My personal preference is pure Google. I hate extra stuff. Some people need a little flavor so CM is great. Just try them all and make your own choice

GB
I would say that is the best thing to do try them all... I'll be honest with ya out of the GB experience i like what Royal Ginger has done lately and the new Cm7 is really really stable good experience.. But i always and i mean always go back to Royal Glacier (mysense) i know i know.. but it's fast as hell in my eyes.... and i have ALL of my phones functions... anyways, to each his own..

Cm7 is og and royalginger is bg meanning baby gangstar

CM7 vs all other GB roms, opinions

I have ran evervolv in the past but have been running the latest versions of CM7 for about 4 months, I love all the customization options, but I do get some quirks, and random reboots etc.. occassional lag
I am wondering what you guys would recomend as far the fastest and most stable GB rom
Evervolv? Evo deck? MIUI? etc?

Well deck is just renamed cm7.

CM7 is ok, kernel that comes with it is horrible though. Nightlies are better than their stable release.

Deck has been extremely stable and I've had zero hiccups with it. Basically identical to cyanogen.

I agree with cares deck is extremely stable I really like it
but I love miui look
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Deck is awesome, much faster/reliable than CM has ever been for me. Though after moving to an area with no 4G I switched to MIUI and I absolutely love it.

Deck's is without question the best for my phone. I've kept it running longer than any other ROM.

Try again.
I'd love to use MIUI but the no 4G on it is a deal breaker Deck's has been a lot faster and stable than CM was for me on my Evo. I'd skip CM all together and just try Deck's if you want an AOSP ROM.

From my understanding Deck's is CM7 with everything stripped out except for EVO specific features/kangs. That may or may not make it faster, I dont know because Ive never used it, but that is my understanding of the difference.

I rock CM7 Nightlties...I get at least 1day 5hrs minimum now...lol

+1 to decks ...Neva had had reboot on it and GPS works flawlessly

Not necessarily true, it is majorly based off of CM7. If you read the post for the deck rom it has other things pulled from other GB rom's as well. It's certainly not just a "renamed CM7" because it works for me a lot better stability wise. He has also fixed a lot of things that CM7 hadn't. Not knocking the CM team whatsoever because we wouldn't have Deck's if it wasn't for them.

What ever helps you sleep at night........
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Just to add my two cents... I run cm7, I enjoy the bloat and custom settings. No, deck is not cm7. A lot of roms use stuff from cyanogen just because he and his team do so much work. However you have to give credit to Deck for his rom being a compilation of his own. Like it was said read the opening post for his rom and you will see.
If you want super clean basic gingerbread that you can do whatever customization you want go with deck. If you want gingerbread that has been tweaked and had included tweaks options go cm7.
I will give props to savaged zen here as well. Very similar to cm7, but not the same! I love the included kernel tweaks, no need for script but less customizable. It is awesome that a Dev would include a custom kernel specifically built around their rom.
Honestly we have such awesome choices for gingerbread and they keep getting better. Try them all and find out which suits your needs best.
EVO 0003, CM7 stable, Tiamat, Vipermod, V6 Supercharger.

someone sounds like a hater...
to OP:
I've been trying a lot of roms lately too. For AOSP, go with Decks 1.2. Its lightweight, fast and pretty awesome. If you want sense, do a search for Synergy Nightlies and you'll find what your looking for. Another good alternative is MikG 2.0

I've been rocking Deck since the pre release of 1.0. But in the last couple of weeks have been trying out the Sense 2.1+3.0 hybrids. After flashing MikG/Alliance, I haven't really had the desire to go back to AOSP.

I've had CM7 for awhile and today i had an important place to go to but the GPS was so spotty i couldn't get to it and i read this post and decided to flash Decks and i gotta say the GPS works flawless and the stability is just superb.

vanilla gingerbread rom?

IS there a true vanilla gb rom out there for the vibrant? If not, besides cm7 what is a good gb rom for the vib. Also, any one know if there is a sense rom for the vib

(ROM)Simply Stock JVS 2.3.5

Nofrills aosp
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

No frills aosp v2. Been on it for a week after trying cm7 and miui for months. Seems to be the best gingerbread rom so far ive tried. Its the closest thing to aosp too that you will find for the vibrant. Gps works well enough to use gps based services. Battery lasts whole day easily with normal use as a phone ie. not too heavy internet usage.

CM7 gives you a lot more configuratibility out of the box. Oxygen SplashMod is not so customizable, but it's much lighter, hence, definitely feels faster on first boot. It's really your decision to try both and choose which suits you. Both are well recognized ROMs across various devices.

My vote is for cm7..
It is more stable more fast nd more customisable..
Areeb for htc wildfire

I will vote for cm7 as its having more customization features but like the splashmod launcher .. both are having crappy dialer ..

The latest locally-built CM7 Nightly posted by ErwinP in the CM7 Nightlies thread includes a T9 Smart dialer I believe. And just FYI, the launcher in any ROM can be changed to anything you prefer.

how can we make cm7 faster..?? Which applications can be removed?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

I'll have to vote CM7. Since it is a lot more customizable. And they add actual changes to the rom.

Well the latest version is cm7 repackaged so how do you work that out?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

In my opinion，Splashmod is more faster than CM7....
I tried the official CM7 stable Rom for wildfire, it is slow....May be it's because the optimization process is not include

CM 7
cm 7.2 is best Rom right now present in market .

Another CM7 vote here - though I've tried several others... it might be one of those familiarity things though as CM7 was the first ROM I tried out
That said... now that the camera is working I'm going down the CM9 route

Yes, Splashmod is also not in development, but please let's not re-open a thread from January...

Which ROM to choose?

Hey guys,
I've had my Atrix for a while now & CM7 has been running great on it. But I got a Webdock recently for work & school. So I need a good ROM to use. I have tried Alien, but it doesn't work very well for me...
What I need:
-Webtop support (I can setup the debain)
-Lightweight (Minimal everything)
-Very long battery

Try darkside

I use the Neutrino Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398819
Its basically CM7 minus the bloat and with streamlined customization

It doesn't have Webtop support, thanks though...

Try Neutrino. Personally I use the EE version because it is meant for longest battery life, and is fast enough for my needs. If you want it to be faster, use either the GT or GT+ versions

Webtop support means no CM7 ROMS. Before I had a lapdock I was using Neutrino, which is CM7 based. I was sad when I had to go back to a Blur ROM (I'm using Aura now), but hey, it really isn't THAT bad.

lol @ the dumb "use CM7/Neutrino" posts not reading your question or the replies

I wonder what issues you're having with the Alien ROM? I've been using it for months with no issues at all. In fact, it's been my ROM of choice since I started flashing.

Kenneth Penn went to the sky rocket. I had it for a while before getting galaxy nexus. He even named it alien rom funny cause I always associated alien rom with the atrix

Seconded. I switched to darkside from aura and i like it better. I also installed the ics theme and flashed webtop from a fruitcake. It is nice.

Now I'm using three roms: Alien#4,Gingermod#2 and Stock 2.3.6.
I suggest you to try Gingermod#2,the only "problem" I have is that webtop is not compatible.
