My First post - my first question.
I have a brand new HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) in my hand waiting to flash it as the original ROM is too bloated for my taste.
I have used O2 XDA Orbit before and had flashed with Meshle's Vanilla ROM - which was the Most Stable, Cleanest, long battery life, and NO memory leak ROM.
Is there anything similar to that for Polaris? I assume - the word Vanilla does not apply here as I did a search and came up with nothing for Polaris. Am sure there are many 'Good' ROM's - but I am looking for something 'Clean' but stable and fast. ( I do a lot of other office work on my phone - so speed, memory is of essense rather than looks!)
I am not looking at the Cube or TouchFLO or any other additional APPS - just a stable ROM which has maximum battery life, good radio signal and with no memory lelaks.
What is the current recomended RADIO version combination currrently being flashed with the ROM?
If someone can please take the time out and suggest.
Thanks
<<Bump>> So many views and no one answered? Thats not good ! At leaste give me the keyword to search with?

Also there is a super light ROM by swtos!!
i'm in the same position - office phone, that should be fast and stable
that's why i'm using "swtos light v0.6"
it's more stable comparing to version 0.3
Try 0.67_Basic_bepe
It is nice and clean !
I need a good custom ROM, simple, yet with a lot of new features.
I tried CM7, but it still has a lot of bugs and it's a very complex process to install and uninstall. And I did not like the UI.
I need a good rom, as I am currently in stock rom.
Have a look through the forums and you'll find plenty. Decide for yourself. There's threads asking for "best ROM" every day, and best is subjective.
is there a thread with all of the known roms?
Just look in the forums for threads with [ROM] at the start.
cm7 and miui are the only real custom ones.. otherwise look at check rom revolution, it's one of the best based of the stock rom and then install a custom launcher for a decent UI
For starters you may want to look at Cognition or VillainROM as they are based on stock firmware with a few tweaks.
Litening is pretty good too.
Just test a few out until you find one you like ;-)

Try this website theunlockr.com/ and then select the roms and then android and your device... it got a few pretty good roms.. I'm currently using the lightning rom... its really good...
Try out the website... good for other handsets too...
cheers

The best rom is everybody's own opinion. My personal opinion is to stick with Samsung based roms instead of Cyanogenmod or MIUI because of the better camera and the native divx playback etc.

I would recommend Simple & Clean Rom v1.3... awesome battery life and good performance as well.
You should really try the ICS ROM, it's by far better than the others.

Don't be a ****. the guy is probably new here and wants some advice, not abuse. tbh i've been on here a while and it's still a question that pops up in my head from time to time.
I've used Power + 2.0 SP1 which has ceased development. Battery life is excellent, nearly 2 days standby, and basically the original ROM.
then I've tried VillianRom 3.0 and it's basically the same, just has VRtweaks which is an app to download minor tweaks to the system.
I'm running Miui 1.11.11 totally different, has a Android / iPhone feel to it. very nice, Battery life is above average. worth ago in m opinion but I do miss the Camera from the original ROM. You can theme the phone via the themes option which is nice, and you can install Go Launcher which makes it look like any other Android on the Desktop, but once you use the dialer, sms, settings etc it's still very Miui.
I think the real answer is there all very similar with devs personal opinion of needed changes, ROMs based on the original are strangely enough like the original, and ROMs like Cyanogenmod are like a Google Nexus, i.e. AOSP(sp?) then Miui is a totally different concept based on it's own look style and performance.
Personally i'm awaiting the ICS ROMs dev will be soon knocking out. I never found Android perticularly polished compared to say an iPhone, ICS seems to bring this forward some i'm quite excited. but in the meantime, Miui might fill that gap. Otherwise your stuck with the current ROM

I'm not a ****. I'm just not patient with people. Yes, maybe I'm a ****. But what does he expect? 100 people just coming in here and share their favorite ROM? Would he be then able to pick one from those? Would he count how many votes does each ROM received? Why not go for popularity then, and check which ROM thread has the most views, at least he would get a larger sample, even if won't give him too much information. Would the answers be subjective? Does he expect a short review from all of us for all the ROMs we tried? What happens if the first 10 persons who respond are total morons who only picked the worst ROMs ever?
I see persons like him, I imagine a random lazy guy who bought his phone because it was cool. He is not satisfied with what he got, so he thought he wants more "new features". He has no idea what "new features" the "new ROMs" can bring, but since there are so many ROMs, they can't all be the same, right? Some of them have to have some shiny lasers or whatever! But how does he find that exact ROM? Let's create a new thread, and ask which is the ROM with the most shiny new laser!!1. But it has to be simple. CM7 was too complex and buggy. At least that's what he heard, he didn't find any, except he couldn't play the fullHD porn on his phone anymore . So let's see what others recommend, so we can install it in a simple way. Because if it's not simpler than 3 clicks, he will ask 10 questions on how to install it. And after everything is working correctly, he won't like the ROM, because it's not shiny enough. Eventually he will find a ROM which has an included shiny theme, and he will think his ROM is full of features! ... oh **** I gotta go back to work.
Well, maybe I over-analyzed the situation a bit, in which case I would have one suggestion: search for the similar threads on these forums, you will find many, and see what people have answered...
WajkIUI ROM
I've had this ROM on my SGS2 for about two days now. It's called "WajkIUI ROM". And it's the best I've ever flashed to my device. It has a whole new look, it extends the battery life, the sytem apps are customized, you can change the theme of the ROM as well, and it just has a new overall feel to it.
You just have to try it for yourself. Below is the link to the xda thread. Hope you LOVE it like I do.

Hi there,
As I found out a few minutes ago, it seems that I can move Blinkfeed to another home screen.
In that case I'm considering returning to a custom Sense Rom. But as there is a lot of good choice, I'd really like to know which ROM has best battery life...
At this moment I'm using ARHD and this rom has tremendous battery life... So I hope there is a Sense rom that can compare to that... And also to that speed...
I know it's a kind of personal choice, but I assume there will be a bunch of people that have tested more custom roms before staying to use the one they use now...
Thanks...
Please just read the battery threads. "Best" rom threads are not allowed

Hi,
I'm currently using CM11 which I really like, however with each release it seems to get more and more buggy for me, and my battery life has been awful lately.
My contract is up so a new phone is an option, however I'd like to try to get as much life out of my phone as possible because apart from the camera and battery the phone is pretty much perfect for me.
Are there any other ROMs I should look at? I'm not overly techy so something easy to install and as close to stock as possible would be great, but my main focus would definitely be stability, speed and battery.
Thanks
If you're looking for JB Rom, you can flash the official 4.3 stock Rom.
If you're looking for Kitkat Rom, I can recommend this, very stable and fast:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52753540
Thank you! Sorry I wasn't very clear with my post, KitKat is a must, and if I'm honest something with a clear and simple upgrade path to Android L with be a huge bonus too.
Blekota S5 Lite is an absolute beast of a rom if you tune it correctly. Since its a touchwiz rom you have to keep the launcher resident in the memory so there's none of that lag. Use boeffla kernel and you'll be coming back to this thread to thank me
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM / Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself. That is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,
and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.

Hello there Fellas'
Which will be the most well rounded up and stable NOTE7 ROM for GALAXY NOTE 3 SM-N9005 that I'd be able to run as a daily driver. I want a stable ROM that curates a smooth user experience, minimal bugs and a decent battery life as well.
I wish to know that which will the most suitable ROM and Kernel to go for that will be stable enough to work.
My honest opinion for you NONE .
If you have to ask this sort of question then you should be sticking to stock roms .
Nothing to stop you reading the threads for any rom and deciding what you want .
More than enough information posted .
