Which ROM should I download?

Default Which ROM should I download?
I am currently running CyanogenMod 5.0.5.3 on my nexus one. However, I am eager to try something new. The reasons for switching are due to some stability issues with the ROM.
My checklist is quite small:
1) built in tethering
2) easy of use
3) very reliable and stable
Optional
2) would prefer support for Persian/Arabic font. however, it' is not essential
Any ideas?

you can try Enomther's latest release (1.9.2) released today; very stable with bunch of features; check out his changelog in the development section

If you want bunch of features, try Cyanogen's...

dont ask.....different ppl....diff opinions.... diff tastes.....try them....there are not many

Why not just wait for Froyo? Tethering out-of-the-box.

+1 agreed...

He's posting this across multiple boards trying to get answers... as I told him on another board:
Run over to XDA and read the posts on the ROM's out there and look at the feature lists.
You really should do the legwork yourself as other have.

The time spent to make an account and spam all these boards with this post could have been used to read the feature lists and decide on a ROM for himself.
As chowdarygm said, there are not many...

HI - well you have a decent amount of choice if you're using the nexus one. I tend to stick with roms from either @cyanogen or @kingklick92 i.e the CM rom or Desire Port respectively.
I made a blog post about it - have a read and maybe it will help with your decision.
Moving on from that there are a few enhancements you can apply to the ROM's, specifically you can 'undervolt' your ROM to save some power by moving across a new kernel.
I've tried loads of them to be honest - as earlier posters have said, the Nexus one development forum here at XDA is a great place to start, there is a stickie with a ROM list - a good start.

thanks, I appreciate it. I am still a newcomer.

No problem at all, if you want any more advise , let me [email protected] or blog comment

Try Kang-o-rama...
New beta is based on CM 5.0.7, includes an OC/UV/21MB kernel, mods, optimisations and some great apps.
The best thing is that it installs in one hit, works together and is nice and quick.

Same here. The only mod I make to it is swapping out HelixLauncher or whatever it is for Launcher Pro, which seems to be much more stable.
I stick to the Cyanogen-based stuff because it's the standard, and also because I had a hell of a time dealing with those KingKx roms for my old G1. I was flashing and wiping so much my ass was raw, and Cyanogen roms are usually wipe-free.

umm i guess vote for cyanogenmod6 cuz its the closest ROM to cm 6 magpie.

COS-DS now, but BiffMod was hands down the best Froyo Rom until it fell behind when the devs disbanded and it couldn't be based on CM6.1 Final. I like the extra features, but I what ezterry is doing on the DS platform is awesome.

I will vote for Ginger yoshi rom b/v it is fast, very stable and gives you all the features of android Gingerbread official rom for a device such as HTC magic/sapphire 32B that has low ram and isn't suppose to be able to load android 2.3.

not really
you can vote for more than one
for instance I voted
CM7 Magpie , ADS, COS , EzGinger, Froyo by Lazlo, Biffmod and Ezterry's AOSP
all Open Source , and all have merit
but yeah as with any Poll it is flawed
btw, the reason the poll can not be edited is because with vBulletin Polls you can edit the results , so edit is restricted to mods

I'd vote for Froyo By Laszlo.
I'm using it in a customized (stripped down/barebone) version with farmatitos non bfs kernel 20110428 and without sd-ext.

For me it's fast, stable and delivers a very good battery life.
I tried almost all of the mentioned gb roms. For me they got slow with the amount of apps I was installing (possibly because of low ram space).
But as Effdee stated, "Poll is flawed".

Polls are just flawed in general
if you watched the votes over time you would see a sudden spike in the votes for Ginger Yoshi, this corresponded with when he posted in his thread asking people to come here and vote
Now, a lot of Ginger Yoshi 1.1 users are from the Sapphire Forum
their ROM Bible
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957085
only really points to Yoshi based ROMs (or old out of date roms)
you can bet that many don't realise that they could use the other ROMs in this Poll, so straight away you have a skew
G1 users see the bigger picture and votes will be split amongst the other roms
but I'm sure things will even out once people actually know that this poll is here

you then have a new problem
if you add new options the people who have already voted can't vote again
the new option is loosing from its start
it then looks like it is not very good, so people who come and look at poll then write that rom off as being a poor choice and don't try it.
by adding a ROM now, you kill it
depends on how long you plan to run it and what you want to get out of it.

I think this poll says a lot.
Lazlo doesn't support his rom for quite some time now, but still it is one of the most voted for ROM.
There is a reason for that, really. I hope we will see some of the more recent ROMs enter this level of perfection. For now I didn't find one, so no multivote for me. Lazlo gets my vote.

Froyo 4 Lazlo bests hands down, i didnt even vote for a gb rom. Froyo is about as good as it will ever get for the godfather of android the g1. GB is meant for higher end phones that the g1 just cant handle all its features, as nice as it does run and with the help of all the devs, froyo 4 lazlo is the best most stablest fastest rom i've ever used. No matter what settings i use no other rom can outlast it

[poll]Which Rom do you Prefer? (Second Edition)

Welcome to the Which ROM do you prefer poll!
This is the second edition of this poll, if you would like to see the results of the first edition of this poll see here.
First of all, I would like to thank all the developers for their hard work and dedication and for keeping the g1 alive. Thank you!
The purpose of this poll is to see which roms are the most used and preferred by the g1 community.
I originally created this poll to help those of you g1 users who are having trouble choosing which rom to use, as I used to be one of those people.
How to VOTE:
1.) YOU ONLY HAVE 1 CHANCE TO VOTE. Meaning once you vote, you can't vote again, so choose wisely.
2.) This is a MULTIPLE CHOICE poll, meaning you can vote for more than one rom. So, if you like several roms, vote for all of them.
3.) Vote for the rom(s) you had the best experience with. Meaning, vote for the rom(s) you felt was the fastest, most stable, etc.
4.) (Optional) After voting, please leave a reply with two things:
1. Which rom(s) you voted for.
2. An explanation why you voted for that/those rom(s).

Very cool that you added more ROM's
Didn't expect that Fro- and GinSense already had 7 votes

Other than Froyo by Laszlo. It sound like no ones like Froyo ROM at all. LOL! That's funny.

Many thanks for putting this updated version together Maximo, its good to see some of the newer roms on it, and this and your previous thread certainly makes things easier for the more confused individuals - like me! .
I would say though there can never be a perfectly accurate guide to the best roms, as what's available are constantly evolving, with roms being updated etc. I also think that what might appear to be a not so good rom, might simply be configured wrongly, or not as the developer intended.
Personally, I voted for and use Laszlo's rom mostly, as it just works really well with a good battery life. But, as szaj said before me, Rushness, Idrifta are knocking out some great froyo stuff so its not easy making that decision!

Everytime a Sense rom gets a vote an orphaned child gets abducted by aliens and gets probed! You and you alone are responsible for the intrusion!

what about t-mobile's oficial froyo update? i'm using it with ezterry's ebi1 kernel. and works very well jejej

Fast and rock stable
The best Froyo rom I tried is Ezterry's AOSP and the Ginger one is
Cyanogenmod 7 Magpie (by Firerat). Both stable and no lag. Many thanks to the developers. The only think I would like to be added to these roms is a keyboard for Greek language. My phone is HTC MAGIC 32A.

ICS -v- Task 14 /\ My Review

I have seen a lot of talk lately with people comparing the ICS development ROM's to Task 14.. I have been swapping back and forth almost daily between AOKP #23 and Task 14 Slim so here are my thoughts..
1st of all both are awesome ROM's that offer plusses and minuses depending on what each individual wants and needs.. These observations are based on MY wants and needs so opinions will vary.. The fact that Task 14, a HC 3.2 ROM even gets mentioned / compared to an ICS ROM speaks volumes about how good it is..
Things I like about AOKP #23:
--Browser hardware acceleration
--No screenshot soft key (I loathe that thing)
--ROM Control
--Ability to set # of homescreens
--Swipe to dismiss
Things I like about Task 14:
--Rock solid and stable
--Camera works for video chat
--Just as fast as ICS in many areas and faster in some
--Mini widgets
--Several awesome themes available
The AOKP is actually pretty stable for the most part and Roman and team have done an awesome job on it but remember it's a beta so there is issues and bugs at the time of this posting.. Task 14 is super rock solid and its really only limited by HC 3.2..
I honestly can't decide which I like better.. They both ROCK! I guess that's why I change between them daily..
A few AOKP issues I have is with apps and the screen.. Words with friends is a good example of this.. Also, the screen gets a little glitchy at times when viewing online images.. Nothing major and by no means a put down on AOKP...
I have had zero issues on Task 14 that are not widespread HC 3.2 related..
If you can live without the camera and are willing to experience a few minor bugs here and there then the AOKP may be for you.. If however you want rock solid with zero bugs, a working camera and a system that is just as fast then Task 14 may be for you..
These are MY thoughts and comparison of 2 kick a$$ ROM's... Thoughts and replies are welcome but please don't turn this thread into a pi$$ing match...

You're just asking for a pissing match. I'll just watch... for now...:sly:
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.

I hope not since they are both awesome ROM's...

I've tried ics, very fast and smooth without touchwiz is a godsend. There is only one 3g ics rom so I have not tried romanb's yet. 3g is a big deal to me. Other thing with isc is no proper USB/mass storage support. It does not show all files that I've downloaded from net except whatever files I transferred to tab. Camera is another big issue for me, or lack of. Video does not work also from the rom I tried. Some apps on market not supported also so cant update. That's my summary of isc. HC3.2 on the other hand is improving. I have not tried Task as again no 3g. I'm a big fan of Alterbridge and his Overcome roms. Been using his rom since the original Tab. His latest 2.3.0 soup up with pershoot kernel is more than great for me. ISC is great but for my daily usage, its not ready yet.

I do realize this is XDA but I guess I hope we all will act like adults and that this mini review will help anyone who can't choose between these 2 awesome ROM's.. Heck I'm having a hard time choosing.. The OP was made on Task 14 and this post is getting made on AOKP..

Good comparsion between the two. Personally, I use Task14 with b00sted's ICS theme. No ICS can compare to it right now, but once the camera issue is solved, ICS will be boss.
All us Task fans are hoping for a Task ICS ROM soon.
BTW, good thread OP.

A Task ICS ROM will be awesome once it comes.. I'm back on the AOKP for this morning as least..

I think we scared off the ones that would have made this a pissing match. Good.
BTW- nice OP.

How can you compare Android 4.0 (No official release and by the way in Alpha state) and Android 3.2?

He is comparing what is available today. The OP is well aware that ICS is in development but he is looking for a daily driver and was looking for others opinions on what we use.
Until ICS is official there is no way to do a 1 for 1 comparison.

Easy you try them both and yes ics is alpha but thats what is available now and is the point of this thread. I came to the same conclusion as the OP after using both kang versions. the arguably incremental improvement in smoothness does not outweigh the full functionality goodness of galaxytask
Adding Visidon even gives me face unlock features and with camera ics+ i get the camera panorama functionality on my galaxy task rom

ICS ........... almost stable!

Even though it is supposed to be alpha (since the Camera mainly does not work and there are also some minor bugs), it is quite stable for daily use as I myself use it and the best part is there are some amazing customisation options ..... literally mind blowing!

Thanks for the review. Still haven't custom rom'd it up yet.
When does the official ics come out?

i have found that the battery in the latest ICS kangs (not the one on XDA as that doesnt get updated! but the one on rootzwiki) is by far lots better than any HC.
So indeed for an alpha release ICS is looking very good compare to an already establish HC rom.
So I can only imagine how good ICS will be when SS releases it...hopefully in April..
bit OT interesting that there are no leaks yet from samfirmware!

Even though it is supposed to be alpha (since the Camera mainly does not work and there are also some minor bugs), it is quite stable for daily use as I myself use it and the best part is there are some amazing customisation options ..... literally mind blowing!

Agree as well... ICS is not mind blowing and is only slightly snappier than Taks 14 in some areas..

custom roms for arc s review

hi every one
i would like to open a thread about reviews on custom roms on ARC S
reviews made as ORDINARY USER
it is just about how you think of your device AFTER a custom rom
what you like or dislike.....
what you miss or need and didn't found ....(no need to tell how and what you do , because that's another subject)
NO NEED to post Q or BUGS or HOW TO or REQUESTS or DEEP DEVELOPER details JUST....USER OPINION!!!
AND please give credits to the developers of the ROMS by posting links to threads you found the custom rom in.
Starting form here:
Arc S with rooted GB (LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62) and CWM installed
AtoMic GB 5.0 final (custom rom)
AtoMic Gb 5.0 Arc S patch!
Atomic mod system ui
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083286
-device working fine no lags or errors ..until now
-installing apps &games and they are working good for me
-no file manager pre-installed
-don't like ring tones
my overall opinion it is GOOD rom to try!!!:good::good:

You should use the respective Rom threads to post reveiws about romS!
edit:
allright if everyone wants it

Well I think it's a good idea for a thread that could help people in finding ROM's with features they are looking for. I dislike posting off topic so here I go:
CyanogenMod 10
+Clean
+Stable
+Fast
+Not as bloated as stock ICS
+JB notifications are useful
+Supported and actively developed
+Open source
-Camera is awful
-Ringtones could be better but who really cares?
Oh and don't take XtremeSilencer seriously he's not so bright...

The way People can find what they're looking for is by reading the ROM threads in the development section, not by reading noobs opinions on one of the many variations of a "best ROM" thread, which this is, evident by the short summary of what the OP thinks about the ROM.
I can't agree more. Which ROM is the fastest? Which kernel is best? etc. etc. It's like walking into a bar and asking which drink is the best. You can't get your answer because every person around has a personal taste and looking for something different.
Going further. Telling that one ROM is better than another is quite disrespectful to developers. Most of them spent much time making their work for FREE and one guy can easily depreciate their work.
If you're looking for answer - try. It's easy and making it on your own is much funnier than looking for spoon feeding in every situations. Thinking is fun

I can't see this as valid review, because every user is different and every user has its own needs. 2 people will not have totally same user experience on same ROM and kernel.

Actually I have an Ultimate HD of course, with Ultimate HD Mod and I like it very much.
+almost no lags
+xperia z theme
+modded statusbar (better than stock, I think)
+configurable
+quite frequent updates
-few useless system apps
Grade: 5,5 (in Poland we have grading scale from 2-5 at universities )
Previously I had used several other ROM`s, for example Viper Xpieria (good, 4,5-5), Racing Bean (not so good, 3-3,5), CyanogenMod 10 (good, 4), MIUI (good, 4), Jelly Sandwich (very good, 5, but it`s no longer developed I think) and CAMPS+ (bad, 2,5-3).
So to sum up, in my opinion the best ROM actually is Ultimate HD + Ultimate HD Mod, cause of no lagging, stability, and almost no bugs.

I've been using Custom ROMs for about 6 months. So, didn't try too many of them. The reason why I switched to custom ROM was Sony Bloatware and the slowness of official ICS ROM. What I was looking for was more internal space and get the phone up to GB speeds.
First try was CM9.
+ Easy to install, best documentation out there,
+ Good customization options,
+ Frees up load of memory,
+ The GUI doesn't lag too much
+ Fast boot-up.
- Apollo player (hated it and due to regional issues, I couldn't install Google Music),
- WiFi issues
Next I tried racing bean with Fusion 4.4
+ The GUI is much more fluid than anything I tried on my Arc,
+ Customization is on the same level as CM9,
+ Same internal storage usage as CM9,
+ Includes good players/utilities,
+ Battery life didn't shorten despite the fact that the phone became more fluid and responsive,
+ WiFi locks very fast and stable,
+ No issues with 3G,
- There are 3 camera programs included. The panaroma one doesn't even launch (force close immediately). The other two are definitely below the Sony's original camera application,
- The kernel boot takes forever. I see the Fusion logo for about 40 seconds. Once the Nexus animation starts, the boot-up goes very fast. I get the feeling that the Fusion kernel is waiting for a timeout,
- The phone reboots occasionally. Especially when GPS is used (like with dedicated navigation programs). I think when the phone is under heavy load (you feel that the GUI starts stuttering and lag becomes apparent) almost immediately the Nexus X logo comes up.
I heard good things about the Ultimate HD ROM. Will try that one once I get some free time.

Each user will have different experience with each ROM. So an opinion from a certain user about a certain ROM may differ from another user. The only way to truly find the best ROM for your phone is to try it out.

The NOOB-thing:
if the site admins don't LIKE noobs or don't WANT them to post they coud have made subuscrition rule that ANY ONE shoud POST some thing he actually DEVEOPED before posting
AND for GOD'S sake don't keep on posting anti-noobs or NO-use comments here...if you want it to die just wait for it....don't bother to replay..you'll just make it last longer!!!!

u should try by yourself. believe me buddy, its fun if you try by youself. This is not about how you install something that is inserted into your device, and you show people that you mostly have advanced technology. more than that comrade ... it's about development.
respect those who have tried to create a custom ROM and share it here...

good room and very flixable but have 2 prob power sever axperia arc s 4.0.4 and restart phone

Best ROM's for Arc S (Stable only)
Well I don't have 10 post under my belt so I can not post on developer thread but am a hyper droid flasher. Rooted my phone the very next day and voided its warranty. Since then have used many many ROMs but only few are there to remember.
Let me just go by Droid OS versions:
1. ICS 4.0.4= Pureness ROMS, VIPER
2. JB 4.1.2 = Slim bean or Super JB
3. JB 4.2.2 = Paranod Android v3.6 (Rizal Lovins) My current ROM
