There are a handful of ROMS to choose from now and was just wondering what people consider the best ROMs. The things I am looking at are:
1. Speed
2. Stability
3. Features
If I have missed any please let me know...
Gingerstreak 2.3.3!
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
1st. Streakdroid 1.9.1
2nd.Simplestreak 1.2 or 1.3beta
3rd. Gingerstreak a.k.a Streakdroid 2.3.3beta
Currently rockin' the last one.. quite good besides some hickups now and then..

Using 1.9.1 atm, tried 2.3 but had random turnoffs....
Sent from my A501 using XDA Premium App
StreakDroid 1.9.1 tried SimpleStreak 1.3 test 5 but it doesn't seem as good, StreakDroid has a nice text file to configure options upon installation, i like that.
Hmmm, good question...
I tried Cyanogen 2.0 and liked it, but it kept turning off at random (couldn't figure out why).
I voted for 1.9.1 (most stable for me). But I can't get the headset to work properly (I can hear the caller's voice, but the caller won't hear me).
seems like people are mixing up the ginger streak 2.3 with 2.0.0 . I dont think anyone is using 2.0.0, not to mention saying it is fast and stable...
I would say SD 1.9.1
I have been using SimpleStreak for months now, but just went back to StreakDroid. I like the zip of SimpleStreak derived from being so stripped down, but you gotta hand it to Dj_Steve for creating a ROM that is so damn fast and includes EVERYTHING!
Of course as soon as the new SimpleStreak is final I will probably switch, because I find that they all get stale after a while...

How about the battery life?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
1.PlayDoh - v1.0 - 354 base best battery life
2.Simple Streak 1.2 - Lite ROM Speed, Stability
3.Gingerstreak 2.3.3 will be nice when fix all bug's
Cool, thanks for all the responses. It seems the stock rom is the most popular followed by 1.9.1 and 2.3.
I have tried SD 1.9.1 and I'm on 2.0 now but I feel the speed is pretty poor. I'm thinking of switching to simple.
Does the launcher have a big effect on speed?
StreakDroid 2.4
New Streak Droid 2.4 rock! Stable and fast, best available Rom currently for the Dell Streak IMO.
stock 360 the battery lasts me 5 days with light use
(i only use my phone as a phone now i got a cheap tablet for every thing else)
Simple Streak 1.2 -- very stable and smooth as butter
Simple streak 1.2, ciuldnt be happier

Hi, I just got a dell streak and would like to know which would be the best OS to have on it.
Any advice would be appreciated

Dj steves streakdroid is about your only custom option. Its great but not perfect, I think hes workin around with unknown source codes or something makin it difficult to perfect the monster. You can go stock 2.1 which keeps the ultimately useful bar/app button. 2.2 isnt worth a damn considering streakdroid 1.7.0

U should try.
Hey guys, ive had my streak for8 months now. I used to have a htc touch jd and I was used to the fact I could change to rom pretty easilly and I was spoilt for choice.
Im currently on official o2 2.2, iwas just wondering if there are any roms which are significantly improved in terms of looks and speed for the streak.and if so is there a good guide that tells me how to install them?
Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Here is a good place to start
I would have to say that I am an avid user of StreakDroid. Sure it has a small bug here or there, but as far as speed you can't go wrong with using StreakDroid with perfmod.

That is good news.
Looks like each streak has its own love for a different rom.
I agree 351 is the best stock rom so far. One issue I don't like that has popped up since 345 and newer is the flashing profile pics in text messages and google talk. Other than that it runs great.
351 is great works just as good as 318 for me, but after now updating and having it 4 a week, all I want now is a update to gingerbread haha the grass is always greener as they say!
yeah, 351 is better but i still waiting for gingerbread
my streak broke 1 month ago.so ive send it to repair...took one month..i just got it back and dell changed the mainboard(basically whole phone)that caused the random reboots.now since i got it...updated to 351 rom..and i didnt get a reboot in one week.simply beautifull this rom...now this is how the streak should be!!!so impressed now.cheers
Really? I havent experienced tht prob yet. Will give it a look into... Thx

What rom is good now, I, started with eugene's then moved on to team whiskey's,, now what? :/ what's cooking in the development section for our vibrants?
What rom are you on? Please help

What kind of a kick are you on IE: you want touchwhiz or AOSP looks. I for one am on a AOSP'ish kick right now. Running Biwinning 3.0 with the SGS II theme and launcher2 from the G2. I read alot during the middle of the night so 2.2.1 is an absolute must since the capacitive buttons don't light up while turning a page or scrolling the screen. On top of that I am running the bullet 1.48 kernel and it is as smooth as butter. Last but certainly not least that kernel allows a screen off profile of 400-100 so my battery life while not in use is fantastic. I'd say figure out what you want out of the phone and test until everything clicks how you want. If a rom isn't what you want look-wise cruise through all the great themes we have and have that decide which rom to run. Options are vast as it stands now.
I recommend the MIUI 360 rom.

I've been with team whiskey since nero-bionix 1.3.2. Now my 2 favorites are project v and m11

CM7 and MIUI roms are pretty great. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll be just fine. You can flash CM7 or MIUI over 2.2 roms by disabling voodoo first. Once that's done you can flash away. Be sure to grab a copy of the ka5 or ka7 radio/modems just in case you end up with no signal afterwards.
get your ass on CM7 before i slap you onto it.
Trust me once you try cm7 you won't look back to bionix ever again or any 221 rom.

Agreed always was about the Bionix roms until i tried bi-winning. Version 3 that was just released is a little buggy yet. But 2 has always been solid! Its nice with bullet kernel & bi-black gloss theme.

I went eugenes gingerclone, bionix 1.3.1, and now project-v with bali and Im pretty excited about it honeslty. Battery life is fantastic, speed is great. Im waiting for themes now haha
Vibrant - project-v, bali 1.8.6UV kernel.
I think I found my sweet spot at ZenDroid with Bali 1.86 UV. After all, this device is still made to be a phone, and while CM7 based roms are fun to play around with for a few days or weeks, I still need a stable rom for my daily use. But if I get bored, I always have my HD7 around to play around with before I come back the the good ole Vibrant.
On another note, this community has certainly gotten a lot more fun and better. Certainly much much better than that HD7 community (if you can call it one at all).
Bi Winning v3. Great rom! Other EDT roms are good too.

I used CM7 for about a month and it is without a doubt the best, fastest ROM on the Vibrant. However, I just switched back to BiWinning 3 and I really love having GPS and a battery that easily makes it through the day instead of fighting at every step to survive the day.
BIONIXV1.3.1.! ITS FAST. ITS STABLE. IT HAS GREAT BATTERY LIFE. IT HAS A GOOD GPS.IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BUGS. IT HAS...... oh never mind
Try ZenDroid. I get good battery, the theme is awesome, its fast and its stable.

I have to agree with XPLANE and philliple. Since I've been using ZenDroid I haven't even been checking for new roms. It's stripped down, super fast and stable, and very aesthetically pleasing.

I have android 2.2 installed ,but with some problems. Can I install 2.3 or else .
I need high cpu performance. Battery life extention. Better sip call by 3G . Thanks

The Search Button is Your Friend!
A little research on your part would have told you that there is no 2.3 for Streak, with the exception of the experimental and still early developing GingerStreak from DJ Steve, with extensive kernel re-writing by Fards.
Unless you are quite talented in flashing custom roms, and don't use your Streak as your main device, you will probably want to patiently wait for further development, stability and refinement.
I suggest you do a thorough search on the subject so you don't get flamed in open forum, or worse, brick your Streak!

Simple streak rom I would think is best cpu performance,but I have on tried 1.9.1,and like it with set cpu to minimum 384 maximum 1119,lcd density 180 or 200.......im still on 305 bb though.....might be even better if I put a newer ones

Agreed, Simple-streak is the fastest performance. The latest 1.9.1 is stable and very good but Simple-streak is fastest and best for games.
