(Q) What's your default rom?best one of all you've tried?

What's everyones default rom?
Best batteryy life?
Mine is mikshift and cm7

best ROM i've had is gingerbread shift deck (which i've been using for the past couple weeks), best battery life i've had was on AwesomeROM or MikShift

I'm really liking Mikshift OC'd to 1.5GHz. MikBrando GSense has an awesome look and feel (guess I'm partial to the Sense eye candy and 2.0 is slick) and it will probably be my daily driver once the kernel source is released and it can be OC'd. BrandoKC's green theme really gives it an "executive" look. On the other hand, Sense ROMs can't touch the performance of AOSP ROMs such as cm7 at equivalent clock speeds, but you pay for it with battery life. That's my two cents.

ive been getting the best battery life on cm7. im on nightly 91 and using the stock kernel clocked to 1 ghz and i can easily go a full 2 days with atleast 15 percent left

default is cm7 stable 7.0.3.1 but lately i've been using shift deck and it's cool.

Shift deck is the very best rom imo. I love it and its better than CM7 to me.

Miui 1.4.29, amazing speed and 24 hrs plus battery with moderate usage. Ill never go back to sense.... what's the point?

I wish my GPS worked and I also wished my signal was better so that I could fully enjoy CM7. I keep having to go back to a sense rom to "fix" the GPS issue. I'm on Mikshift at the moment and it's sluggish compared to aosp, but at least it's fully functional for me.

I haven't tried alot of them, but I went with evervolv, I couldn't go back. Even trying cm7 after.

Shiftdeck!!! Nuff said

I like shiftdeck, though I still don't understand what's with the bootlooping on the last couple of releases.

CM7 is the fastest, smoothest for me and I love the nightlies.

I'm on the stock rooted rom. I loaded the speedy kingdom rom, but was too laggy and too many FCs for me, so I switched back. I'm running the X99 kernel, running at the defaults (1.2 gHz max), and it's running like a champ. I could run it at 1.5, but it runs so good at 1.2, that I didn't feel the need to go higher. Battery life is good too.

cm7 and x99 is working like a champ for me. so far nothing seems out of place, and all my aftermarket applications works fine such as youmail, gvoice, and gmail pushes as well. 2032 on quadrant :O !!!

Have you tried Shift Deck with x99. It runs awesome, even better than the nightlies. My Quadrant went from 3380 to 3900 switching to Shift Deck. All my other benchmarks went up aswell.

I love deck's ROM also, SO fast. The bootloops are because of a new kernel he is trying. Don't worry he'll have it figured out soon enough. Anyways my favorite of all favorites has to be MIUI 1.4.29. I love the UI, it's fast, and by far the best battery life of any ROM I've tried.

Before the release of a stable AOSP ROM, the best battery life for me was AwesomeRom using a 1.8g bfq test kernel. I can't remember who the dev was since its been a while, but I believe it was Bcnice20. The ROM & kernel combo made my phone pretty snappy while also giving me like 14-16 hrs of battery life through heavy use.
On AOSP, my favorite ROM has to be Kush-Deck 1.2t so far. I just flashed Scary's Stable Kernel v2 last night. I have min at 245MHz, max at 1209MHz, and the governor set to "Smartass". I'm hoping those settings will give me the best experience in terms of performance, stability, & battery life.
I had been rawkin' an older version of Deck's ROM with the stock Kernel for a bit but after a while my battery life started going down hill. Before that i had been on different versions of CM7 for a while since RC 1 but battery life was even worse on those.
I've been pretty stoked on Deck so far and think I'll prolly keep rawkin this for a while. Especially since everything seems to be working well for me including GPS, Wi-Fi, 4G, etc.

I also use deck's rom with the newest x99 kernel. Miui is also nice, but I always find myself flashing back to an aosp rom after a day or so.

Hd2 very slow using sense roms

I am using all roms from starting ,i like to use sense rom but i am using miui roms, i like sense roms but in my mobile they are working very very slow so i am using miui roms and missing htc sense so plz give me suggestions wats wrong with sense roms
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium

I have been using only Sense roms since I switched from WinM. Sense 2.0/2.1 have always been fine and there are a lot of Roms available that work great. I am currently using Dungphps Sense 3.0 Rom and I'll admit that at first it was really laggy and had a bunch of issues but it has progressively gotten much better. Currently the V2.3 Magldr Rom by Dungphp is awesome. It might be worth a check if your interested in making a change

Try this rom..
Miui with sense, ultrafast and stable..
regards

it is how it is. Sense roms = slow, miui/cm7 roms = fast. I was allways the Sense guy, till i tried miui Now, i cant imagine going back to Sense any more.

What exactly do you mean by 'slow'? I've found that froyo/sense ROMs run a lot smoother than CM7 ROMs. They seem to flow much better, for example when opening switching homescreens or opening previews, the transition is much more smooth than on typhoon, and that's from experience with MCCM's HD on SD, which should be slower. I get much more RAM on CM7 and apps etc open a LOT faster though, so I think I'll stick with it until a stable Gingerbread/sense rom is released. I'm also tempted to try MIUI, although I hate the launcher.

Sense uses a lot of memory (RAM), so for good performance a good memory manager is necessary. I use that and a start-up manager to control what programs run in the back ground.
Most programs don't need to run in the back ground, they will start-up when executed.

Same here. GB Sense, I tried all of them, never give you more then 1000 on Quadrant. CM7 or MIUI will give you 1200 or 1300.

can any one suggest a good sense rom plz

I use [10.Aug] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA Ginger 2.3.3 HTC Sense 3.0_V5 rom for 2-3 weeks I think it is smooth but wi-fi tethering cannot use - -' and the graphic while loading not completely smooth.
Totally I think is ok now for HTc sene 3.0 rom while I waiting a new one ^^

Hi,

I've used few Sense 3.0 ROM on my HD2 till my digitizer dies on me. I would suggest you include V6 supercharger with your rom n you should see the difference. Phone is much snappier but the graphics are still a little buggy.

try Dungphps, they are the best sense 3.0 roms I would just recommend using auto killer memory optimizer to Get rid of the lag and set to 70, 80, 90. I personally have it set to 90, 100, and 110. Remember there is no substitute for a real sense rom

Honestly, all sense 3.5 roms use less ram than sense 3.0 roms

its cos u need about 150mb free RAM to play it, and on that ROM you wont get anywhere near that

works fine foor me. virtuous unity 2.37 kernel unity v6

Works fine for me, bit laggy when driving around but quite playable.
I'm using the stock pre-rooted rom, Unity v9 kernel @ 1Ghz.. Have you got SWAP enabled? GTA will fill up your RAM so having SWAP may help (or not, try it)
Craig

I'm using a Sense 3.5 rom with v6 supercharger. I got around 85-90mb free of RAM when I play the game but it's still too laggy.

Actually, gta 3 works well on stock xperia play. Our rooted devices should run it as well as or better then xperia play.

I can report ICS (both Andromadus and MDJ's AOSP kernel) cannot even run it. Think anyone can tell why?

Which version are you using? Perhaps the version you flashed does not yet support Hardware acceleration?? Given that 3D acceleration is listed as working (e.g. Flemmard's beta9r1), you might want to try that out?

I tried it on stockrom, rooted and clocked 1.2GHz. it lagged a bit, but was actually playable.
runnydroid with v6 supercharger script was a bit better, but caused rosie to crash everytime i exited the game.
now on cyanogenmod 7 nightly clocked at 1.2 GHz and it works like a charm.

I'm using ICS and its been working even when the hw wasn't out. I used chainfire3d. But now like above it works fine. I'm using latest gta version.

My recommendations would be from the Virtuous Team. Either rmk's Sense 2.0.0 or the Team's Affinity 1.48. Both have comparable battery life but Affinity has the advantage of Sense 3.5 compared to 2.1 of rmk's ROM.
I've tried both and have to say that I loved Affinity. Only reason I'm off it at the moment is because of Flemmard's ICS port. Loving the AOSP feel of ICS =)..

I'd say sense 3.5, tried it with my own device

Actually i am on RCMix Energized, i am also using Supercharger V6 with the ROM, and i have to say it's the best Sense 3.5 experience i have, no freezes after install/uninstall apps, launcher does not die randomly (thanks Supercharger). But if you want a solid and stable sense ROM my shot goes to Virtuous Sens 2.0.0, fluid, fast, stable. That if you do not care about graphical effects and stuff like that.

I'm also trying out RCMix. I've always loved NRG's work since Windows Mobile days, and he doesn't disappoint on Android either. Just on the first day of using RCMix, but so far it seems less laggy than Affinity.
Virtuous Unity seems pretty much deprecated (and no longer being updated) since Affinity came around (which itself has had development halted as the team is now working on ICS). But when I first started using Unity, I experienced a big increase in battery life. I had flip flopped from CM7 to Virtuous (Froyo) and back to stock, but never saw more than a day or 1.5 days with low/moderate usage. On Unity, I was easily getting 2 days or more with low usage. Not quite as good on Affinity.

fast and lagfree gingerbread rom w/ Sense

hi, ive tried out quite a few roms and most of those who were with Sense, while beautiful, they had lag like crazy. i ve ended up with CM7 and MIUI as the top 2 candidates for daily rom however if you ve tried a rom with sense that is also fast and stable, id like to try it so let me know

+1 for Affinity. Despite it being a Sense 3.5, there is little lag even on stock speeds and without supercharger.
If you want something alittle more stock, try Sense 2.0 from Virtuous by rmk40. I've been on all of Virtuous' ROM's and have yet to be disappointed by their Sense or AOSP ROM's.

beatmod bliss sense is the best in performance...

What you said is very true. Although the expertly crafted sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms have reduced lag to a manageable level, once you run a few intensive apps, then return to the rosie you will experience some lag, unless you play with scripts and/or swap. The issue is not with the excellent work of the devs here, but with the severely limited ram on the Vision.
However, I have yet to experience and kind of lag on a sense 1 or sense 2 rom, and have not required swap. There is so much more free memory with the old sense roms, that rosie reloads just do not happen.

I'm 2nding mike102871 on this. If you really want to use sense as it should be, use sense 2.0 since it was crafted to work on the g2. using sense 3+ is nice, but the g2's spec doesn't actually meet the basic minimum requirement.
I suggest Virtuous Sense. It's the best out there for 2.1
