The best ROM or AOSP?

What is the best/stable ROM or AOSP out right now?
I have used....
- Gumbo 1.5 (plain and boring but of course a great ROM, just not visually)
- Fresh 1.1 (great all around)

This is has been asked time & time again. Please search. And really the best ROM for one person isn't necessarily the best ROM for someone else. Please do the research on each ROM's differences & hell maybe even flash a few; it takes a few minutes & you can always go back if you make a Nandroid backup.

Gumbo was plain and boring? Wow, that's news to me... You must have not customized it then, because its an excellent ROM. Every ROM has its pros and cons, that said; you'll have to test all of them to really get a feel for what you like.
All the 1.5 ROM's are very stable, the AOSP's have some minor problems (BT issues, last I checked), and of course there's the 2.0/2.1 ROM's, which have issues and need work and are still being worked on for that matter.
Again, there is not "perfect" ROM, you need to test for yourself and figure out what you like. As long as you do a Nandroid backup, testing all the ROM's shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.

plus the 2.x ROMs are missing the camera framework (though the DEVs are working on this!)
Anything not based on 1.5 has been found to have bluetooth issues

Plus 1.6 might get you SMS problems.

Best android rom for WildFire

I m searching the best rom for WildFire.
i l tryet all are on this section ... an nothing like s me.
For exemple : Stock roms not working Angry birds for exemple and you can t overclock you proc ( instaled and last kernel ...)
Others , at least the Froyo versions ... hmmm my opinion Battery drainers ... With Stock Roms ( mine and one i dw ed ) my battery keep my device alive 4-5 days with Froyo roms with a lil luck 2 days.
So , in you opinions guys ... What is the best rom what exist in this moment?
The best rom possible it will be a clean one (my opinion) without tweeter,facebook,youtube,Actions,Meteo,Peep,Sense .... A clean one of Froyo.

It is a personal choice however I use the WildPuzzleROM_2.1 Eclair v1.0.1 because I have not found any bugs with it. It also has HTC sense so I can use friend stream. and with support for apps2sd good for all of my apps. I personally do not like 2.2 Froyo version as of yet as the friend stream application does not function.
However If you tell us what your looking for from your custom wildfire Rom then we might be able to help more

Im a very new xda member and im also searching for a totally stripped clean rom
And i couldnt find nothin
So i thought im gonna create one by myself
im still very new to all this so if u know anybody who could help me with that?
I tried using the kitchen but also that is kind a confusing

If you want a clean rom the best is openfire 2.3 doesn't have nothing installed and is the fastest rom for htc wildfire, but I rather the cyanogenmod rom and it is by far the best rom, but how dnelson94 says it is a personal choice.

Clean Rom
yes I would recommend openfire 2.3 for a clean Rom and good look with making your own

I only got a Wildfire a few days ago, how do I go about installing a rom. Does it void warranty or anything?

Hmmmm

So if you want a custom rom ..you must root him , i use it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776 , only in this way you can ...
in my opnion ...is irevocable, so you will lose you warranty ... But this phone never crush , until you make something wrong, search, read and make IN THIS ORDER .

+1 for OpenFire 2.3. Made my phone much faster and smoother to work with and extended battery life a little bit.
Can't comment on Cyanogen as I haven't tried it yet.

+1 for OpenFire 2.3 too.
I have started with Openfire 2.3, then tried Cyanogen, but after flashinng patched market and getting FCs after each install, got back to backup of OpenFire. This roms is blazzingly fast and lightweight. Thus, Cyanogen has way more customization options. Maybe i'll try to put it again with some nightly build this weekend.

I will try to help you in installing rom..

It is a personal choice however I use the WildPuzzleROM_2.1 Eclair v1.0.1 because I have not found any bugs with it. It also has HTC sense so I can use friend stream. and with support for apps2sd good for all of my apps.
Does it have contact photo's and names ? and is it stable by all means ?

Well fastest Sense ROM is SUnAaBh .. See it in my signature..

[Q] Custom stock Eclair 2.1 ???

Hi there,
I just rooted my 2.1 Eclair phone to Froyo's 2.2.1. Although I love how its made my phone faster its missing some basic features like the camera not working, (which is useless to me because i am always takin pics on my phone) and not having the ability to import contacts from SIM. Am guessing theres other things that make this Rom uncomplete compaired to the official release. Anyways am not here to complain. My question is, Is there a Eclair 2.1 rom that is customizable just like any other custom Rom out there ? I want the rom to be the same as the official release but just with the ability to download custom software basically...or if anyone can suggest a rom that retains all features like camera and import to sim....
sorry for the long request but once I know then I guess I know what choices I have.....thanks !

All Froyo builds, or most of them that i know of, have a camera working, don't know what is wrong with yours =/
Try Floyo or VillainRom, they surely have camera working.
Now if you want to go back to sense, there's a 2.2 Sense version flying around here (sorry don't know the name), and we even have 2.1's still about. There aren't that many Roms around anymore, so you can easily help yourself around. Just look in this section, and the thread titles should be fairly descriptive, along with the first post in each rom's thread.

Well I did try the latest Froyo, it was the special edition version and the camera didn't work. I then tried the stock version and the camera worked but I still had import to sim problems. There are a lot of Sense and non Sense roms out there, someone made a list and i've had a look at it so will try one of them. Thanks for the reply !
P.S. What in your opinion is the most stable rom out there for 2.1 ?

Floyo, FroydVillain, and elelinux's ROMs all have reputations for being quite stable. There may be others. I'm running Floyo and it's been totally solid and speedy, with rocking battery life. And everything works.
EDIT: Oops, sorry you asked for 2.1. The above ROMs that I listed are all 2.2.1. I've no idea about 2.1, sorry!

VanillaEclair has everything working, search for it on the board..

Hi,
It looks to me that you are an experienced member. According to your sig "ROM: Depending on the week day" you could maybe do us all a favor and try out the various ROMS and report back and let us know your findings.

as i said in the first post, i DO try a rom almost every day. but i can't identify the differences between roms i mentioned. that's why i asked for somebody with more skills
that sig came from windows mobile days, but it is still actual

im also a flash aholic ive tested almost all the miui roms. i dont notice much of a difference but i have noticed with jan willem rom is that everything works including the system update app i also think its slightly smoother than the rest.

The differences between these roms are little to none, so it all comes down to which theme you prefer. Personally I would grab the original MIUI from their english website, and then update every friday via MIUI ROM Download, which is included in the rom. Remember the english pack.
But eventually you will get annoyed by the MIUI launcher and install another on top of MIUI. And if you do that, you might as well install HyperDroid GBX V12 or NexusHD2, 'cause they're smoother and faster.

thanks for the thread, that's what is annoying me too. SO many roms but most of them don't have difference, and SO many roms just being tweaked so much that there is no real working stock rom anymore XD

There will always be a stock rom.. The great thing about all this is that everyone is making their own version. You can just select which one you like and install it. That makes it so choosable. The one is adding some extra apps/themes, the other is tweaking it to be amazing fast. Now you can choose between all those ROM's which best suits your requirements.

as i said i am not interested in theme differences because one can always change the theme to one he likes best, no matter what rom is using
about speed - the 3 roms i mentioned looks the same to me and device mark gives similar results for all 3 of them
and no, i don't want to install hyperdroid or nexus roms because miui are smooth enough and i can't see the speed difference (maybe in quadrant but that's useless).
and, for the moment, miui appeals me more then other releases.
so, no one can find, let's say, 10 different things between these 3 roms?

as no one respond, can we conclude there is no real differences?

[Q] Hard decision to chose android for my hd2

Hi all,
First im sorry for my english
I have HTC HD2 EU version and everybody know windows sucks ;p I decided to change OS to android. And Im little confused, so many roms and distribution.
Please help me chose one or two
I want install NAND version.
Please give me your favorite! I want see the best with sense and without (clean+modes)
Thanks !
Jack

May be this is not you are asking for Sense but I recommend NDT ROM.... I'm also newbie and try several ROM. I'm using NDT MIUI ROM right now. I like the way they organize the theme. Just IMO

NDT
I would second the NDT MIUI rom. It is very stable, clean and fast. MIUI also has some nice themes. I would stay away from most of the sense 3.0 threads if you are looking to use wifi hotpsot and the camera as they are not real stable
The Cm7 roms are pretty stable to. Once you get Magldr you can backup and try a few till you find one you like

as stated before. if you want to enjoy your phone in all its ways, stay away from the new sense 3 roms. I was also the Sense guy, untill i tried miui. For me this the way my phone should work. Miui has ton of features its fast, its stable (Systeminfo shows almost 300 hours without reboots) and very versatile. Read the miui bible, cos there are features (usefull ones) there, which most users have never heard about. If you like theming etc. miui is the way to go. Everyday new themes which are applied by a click, no editing of apks needed. I seriously cant imagine go back to another rom, that would be a major downgrade for me.
the rom i use is JW miui from jan-willem3. jan knows what he is doing, so i recommend this highly
