The best Android ROM?

Hey guys, I just want to know a majority vote at which Android ROM is the best as I have my Leo but I'm really wanting Android running on it. I tried Froyo 2.1 but very quickly changed to Android Energy ROM but while running it the ROM had crashed and wouldn't load again after reboot. Is there any ROM out there which is the most stable.
Please any information will help me. I REALLY WANT ANDROID!!! haha

I have tried a few roms and have found Hyperdroid 1.6 to be the most stable, to be honest in the 2 weeks ive been using it the phone has lagged only once or twice, all item seem to work well, and it fits the screen really well as the theme/system has been edited. I would recomend it

unfortunately this seems to be very phone dependent..
some builds work great on my phone, some crash a lot.
kinda have to try them out and pick what one you like best..
plus many of the differences between most of the builds are themes and kernels.
pick what looks good to you.

Best ROM would be the ones that works best for you. NO PUN intended. I have 2 HD2's same firmware, same everything, one loves Bangster one loves Mdeejay.. WHY? No idea.. so best ROM would be the one that works best for you

hi, i tried several rom and i like the mattc leo 1.6 and 1.8 (working fine) and also Froyostone V2. for the moment i tried froyoStone v3.1, fine too.

[Q] Is [MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 A2SD+] one of the most stable rom by far?

I've been hearing many people complimenting about [MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 A2SD+].
I am a total beginner. So, i am just curious about this rom.
What's makes it worth the talk i am thinking? Or are there any rom that is very outstanding as well?
Honestly, I believe it is quite hard to compare.
Anyone care to enlighten?
I would like to know how they differ from each other.
Any form of help is appreciated, even links to guide.
Thanks in advance.

Its all a matter of opinion....hard to answer your question. The way i pick a rom to try out is...
Look for one that was recently updated
Read the first posts from the developer..your looking for changelogs, and whats working and not working.
Remember the date of the last update....go to the end of the thread and read all the way back to the date of the last update. This will let you see problems other users have found. Decide if these problems are related to the build or user error. Most will be user error. If you dont see a lot of complaints or problems with ...gps, data, wifi or phone turns into a blood sucking vampire then flash it and see for yourself. This is the ONLY way to find yhe best rom for you.
Believe it or not every hd2 is different. They all react differently to setups that are exactly the same. Its weird and hard to explain so just believe it.
2.15 radio
2.2miui stock via cwm

definately one of the most stable & smooth IMO. ive tried quite a few other ROMs and always end up flashing back to MDJ CM7 2.6 good for daily use

I totally agree with the statement above, and while mdj's rom was "stable" for my particular hd2, so are many other roms, its all about your personal preference i would say get clockwork working and make a few nand backups of roms you like and switch off every few days until you find the one for you, but do as you want man, they are all pretty awesome with unique features, i think mdj's build is slightly outdated due to kernel and system breakthroughs as of late... just my personal opinion though, decide for yourself

Hey, thanks. I just boot it. Well, as I am new to this, I am unsure about the ROM TYPE out there.
What about the ROM-ZIP? Is it like the NAND?
I came across this [HD2 CoreDroid DHD v1.4 (23 FEB)] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507

It isnt near as complicated as it seems..but i know how you feel. I thought the same thing at first.

For .zip roms, you gotta use CWM to install. a little more confusing at first. But you will know how as you read more. For now, try to get use to flashing NAND.

Definitely the most stable I have used.

I have no problems with it and recommend it to beginners,I'm just waiting for a good stable sense Ginger rom down the road

Does this have the bt 60ma drain as with the other cm roms? I came from a nexus one and would like to keep using non-sense roms.

Loo Sze Yung,, you mentioned you get Robotic Voice. Is that an issue needed to be addressed with the rom or is it just on your phone ? Have you resolved it yet ?

cant you tell by just looking at the views of his thread?

the robotic voice is an easy fix. just go to sound setting and turn off audible touch tone. i don't think you like a tone to be played every time you type something on the dialpad right?

Sup dude, if you want suggestions you should give us an idea of what you're looking for first.
I'm currently using CM7 HyperDroid which suits me cos it's minimalistic, dark and fast. So if you like those things to, I definitely recommend it. Another good thing about this ROM is that you only need a 150mb CWM partition, which is good for us EU owners.
I've only tried one other ROM and that was UltimateDroid. It's another fast ROM (I'm pretty sure it's based off CM7) which has a lot of theme options. It's got a more stock feeling to it, but if you don't like the default green it's got red, blue etc.
I'd also suggest having a look at the MIUI ROMs too, I haven't tried one yet but they have some interesting features.
Hope this helps man.

Thx,
i need a sens rom, and it must be stable. and fast is always good

I've had no luck with Sense ROMs so far. Not fast enough for the added eye candy. Been a long time CM user and finally tried MIUI yesterday morning. OMG! Within two hours I became a diehard MIUI fanboy. Been hammering it ever since and it's blowing me away. More functionality than CM, same level of zippy performance, but much better eye candy. It have yet to find one thing I don't like and it keeps amazing me as I stumble upon new feature after new feature. I don't think I can go back to any other ROM now.

MIUI needs a 120mb CWM so it's low profile like CM. Both good for EU owners. Unlike that damn 400mb for Sense.

One of it's few lacking features... true. Always forget about that since I listen to mp3, podcasts, and internet radio. FM radio pretty much unnecessary here in the states with the other alternatives.

I'm also on miui but I installed launcher pro because I didn't like the iphone like launcher. you should try it. the roms are very smooth and fast. i'm using the ndt one and won't go back unless the gingersense roms are working without bugs.

sure but i think it won't work on gingerbread when none of the roms have included it.
and well, honeycomb has the highest build number but it's for tablets.... just use 2.3.4

+1 to both posts. Don't use the honeycomb version. The one in my sig is solid. No force closes yet and smooth. I run everything at once and no issues.

As mentioned above, hypderdroid cm7 is one i recommend as well, it is very fast. You will need cwm installed thought but its worth it. Here give it a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026

[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?

+1
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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

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.

Most stable android rom?

Hey,
So I switched to another phone like 4months ago and now my father wants to have my HD2, so I need a really stable rom.
Im not really informed on what is there for the hd2 at the moment, so I thought I just ask.
I dont need a rom thats fast, well it shouldnt be too slow but it should be really bug free and stable so that he does not run into any problems.
Any suggestions?

Normally I would flame you for asking a stupid and over-asked question, but since I'm in a nice mood I'll tell you to stick to MIUI and CM7 ROMs, ICS is slow, Sense is (in my opinion) slower than other ROMs and there really isn't any point in using anything else. Try some of the SD versions of all the ROMs (you may like Sense as well) and you will find the right one. I personally use Typhoon CM7
Oh and in future, if you ever feel like 'just asking' in the future, ask the search bar first

I can also +1 on the passing on flaming, also Typhoon is a great GB rom

Make that 3 for 3 on wanting to torch the poor guy ...
I do, however, agree ... Try either Typhoon or (imo) Hyperdroid ... Not much (if anything missing, not working, or otherwise not good) in these roms. Both great builds!!!

I tried any kind of rom.
sense is not heavy like they say, and is still the best rom...
miui IMO is the best rom for hd2, light, faster than cm7 and sense, now is bug free...miui is my suggestion

Miui.... Hyperdroid... Cm7 I recently got my hd back from the jtag service, which was great..... and im running miui right now .... have tried all three of these though A sense rom set up properly can be pretty fast though

Hi
give Haldric v3 a chance, it's the best rom next to stock.

Agree. +1. Very nice and stable ROM

I've had good experience with the Typhoon CM7 ROM and the DorimanxROM (although this one is a bit harder to install if you want to have the high-performance version).
It seems that MIUI is worth a shot as well, but I personally never tried it.
As already mentioned, just try some different SD card versions and when you find one that you like, finally flash a NAND version of it.
