Fastest GB ROM that is NOT CM7?

I love fast roms, but I haven't been given the time to test all of these new roms.
Which roms do you guys think is the overall fastest? Preferably with good battery life too.

Give Deck's GB a try

+1 for DECKS!!!
lets just say i love experiment with some strange but i'll always come back to decks

Syndergy based roms are doing me right right about now, so any should be good. If your going to be in the community i find it hard to believe that the urge to flash multiple roms won't eventually get its grip on you

decks is cyanogen, with a different launcher.
try salvagemod or evervolv

Gotta give my vote to mikg v1.04

I'll be the first to represent for VaelPak AOSP GP Preview. I love it, no problems whatsoever for my admittedly-average usage experience. It's still in beta, but Vaelek is a talented dev. Not sure why he left XDA, but he's running his own show at vaelek.com these days.
I've also heard good things about Deck's ROM.

For AOSP, Deck's or Salvagemod.
For Sense, MikG 1.04 or the newest Synergy nightly.

DECKs rom is the way to go. Tried them all and still flash them just to stay on the edge of the development. Only problem with DECKs...DON'T GET COMFORTABLE!!! The guy updates his stuff every 10 minutes!!! Kidding of course but he really strives to make his the best it can be. I absolutely love it!!!

I agree 100% I wasn't a big fan of asop till deck.

Decks is great. I keep finding myself coming back to Decks gb rom. way to go. Try it out and see how you like it.

I never tried Decks, but it is based off of CM 7 from what i'v heard. If you're looking for something other than CM7 then you HAVE to try out MIUI.
Not only is it one of the best GB roms i'v ever used, it's one of the best roms i'v used period (and i'v been flashing roms since the G1 days). Trust me, you won't regret. I highly suggest once you flash it install Go Launcher because the stock launcher is a little "iphone-ish" unless you like that kind of thing, then it's all good.

+1 for Decks ROM......

Deck's rom is pretty awesome. Running that with the SZ kernel, LauncherPro, and the Supercharger script, and my phone has never been faster.

So, I tried using Synergy, and I have no idea what it could have been, but it felt a lot slower than I was comfortable with.
I have yet to try MIUI, but people seem to enjoy it. At the moment I'm on Kingdom R6 and I feel like it's one of the faster ROMs I've used.
I haven't used an AOSP ROM yet, but it seems that Deck is the ROM of choice. I know with CM7 I can't flash it because I used unrEVOked, is that the same situation with Deck?

For all those that are unrootable.

So, since you guys cannot root at this moment, I thought, why not make a thread about what exactly you are going to flash the instant you get root? So here it is. Be specific, down to the last mhz and themes...
I know once I get root, I'll flash CM7 with the Synergy theme on the market and the Tiamat kernel...

Homie posted this in the general area and it's a legitimate discussion. At least he didn't create a new thread complaining about not having root. Ya feel?

Patience fellas that's all it takes is patience, soon there will be root for 2.3.3.

I will jump in...
As soon as it happened.. I have 3 guys at work that bug me 2x a day for me to root their phones.
I will start with one and work my way around the store.

I want my kingdom Rom back so bad its been like 2 months from the time I had root and that Rom was just getin good so I know it has to be perfict now

Kush Deck, whatever the latest release is (I don't torture myself keeping up with the thread right now), and the Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC kernel.
Then I will breathe a heady sigh of relief, make a nandroid backup to use as a daily driver, and start looking for the latest and greatest of everything and start my old flashing ways again.

Synergy will be my first choice. I liked all the betas,but then started having heat related reboots, went into sprint and the rest is history including my ability to root...

I was using VR Kingdom so I would definitely try synergy and Kings shooter port.....urghhh I hate not being rooted!

Call HTC and say that, not Sprint.

recommend ROM?

Just finished rooting my Evo 4G for the first time and was wondering about the different ROM available. I haven't rooted since i had my Hero a year ago. I had fresh on my Hero and loved it. However I mainly use launcher pro and wanted to get away from a sense based ROM as I wanted to use full HDMI out and bluetooth HIDS and from last time I heard a bug in sense prevented this..is this still correct?? I was looking toward CM7.
So does anyone have any recommendation to start off with?
Thanks,
-Stephen

Sense does have the broken Bluetooth stacks, yes. So AOSP-wise? Whenever I actually use AOSP, I use MIUI with latest Tiamat kernel. People complain about no 4G and how it looks like an iPhone, but it is so customizable and it has some great devs.
Other than that, I would suggest SalvageMod or Deck's.
MIUI>SalvageMod>Deck's. All with the latest Tiamat.
But I am a Sense guy, so you know.... Full HDMI mirroring works on Sense with latest Freedom and Chopsuey kernel, if you are interested.
And if you need a refresher, check out my guide in my signature. It is written for Sense but it should apply universally.

Amon Ra by far

My recommendation would be Team Nocturnal Xplod 1.2 with Tiamat 3.37, it has bewn very smooth for me and AOSP
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

My recommendations :
CM7.1.0
ICS themes from market (both cm7 and adw.)
Set screen density to 200.

i recommend amon ra, and if you are interested in learning about aosp roms/kernels click on the link in my sig it's a guide that will explain it all to you with download links to all the roms and download zips to all the kernels. and if you need help installing your rom/kernel i put a link there to a guide for that

Thanks everyone,
I'm gonna start w/ CM7 stable. A few quick questions. What would be the best kernel to go with this. Something to increase battery, trickle charging.
Also do i need to flash a radio with this??

I went with Decks. From what I read it is a striped down version of CM7. What are the main differences? whats has been removed?

Decks is the way to go with aosp roms. I read people praising salvaged zen all the time, but I always have issues when charging my phone on that kernel. I go with.Tiamat. I like the idea of an aosp rom that is still being updated.

Go with cm7.0 always gave me the best speed and battery life. Use tiamat kernel with supercharger script.

I Like sinister R9 - its sense based It is very fast has working everything as far as ive seen used this rom for over 3 weeks and as a result even my IT guy that swares by AOSP CM7 switched to it and he also likes it alot .. The one thing i can say i didnt like about Cm7 is the way it links contacts .. sense is amazing at linking contacts

yea the contact link is the 1st thing i noticed. Don't like it at all but i can deal with it. Main reason I'm going w/ AOSP is to use bluetooth HIDs, as sense doesn't allow this.

Can I just flash the Tiamat on top or will i have to reflash the ROM again and start over?

I just flashed the tiamat kernel. went w/o SBC as i have read that can be risky. Do I need to adjust any settings to help with battery life or does the kernel take care of that? Should Id be using setCPU?

do not use set cpu and if you want to learn about aosp you should click on the link in my sig and you should really look through the Q&A section b/c it will help you out A LOT!!!

I have tried a bunch of roms, asop and sense, I by far like the aosp roms much better. I am currently digging the latest Xplod rom by Team Nocturnal.

Team Blaze Roms with Sense 3.5 you cant go wrong with Blaze

[Q] What is your favorite ROM?

Hey guys, I know this may have been asked a few times already but I wanted to know what your favorite ROM's are as of 2012? I am currently running Legendary ROM 2.2 and I can't say I have any complaints so far. It has only made my phone go from a piece of turd to a diamond. Let me know what you guys like.

And why! Don't just drop a ROM name. Mention which are your favorite features and which other ROMs you might have tried. Maybe this thread will stop the questions "what's the best ROM". Basically it was always asking "what ROM are you using" Because those were the results.

So far legendary has been the best for me! I have tried out thunderhawk (laggy for me) mostly stock (too stock for me)... well let's just say I have tried them all and I always end up back to legendary... it has the perfect balance of themeing, stability, and performance IMO!

Thunderhawk 3.3 has just about every mod I want and runs super smooth with my usage. I like the professional theming and awesome balance of stability, performance, and battery life. I am biased as I help random with some minor debugging at times. There are lots of ways to run your setup, the key is finding what fits your usage. We are all pretty lucky to have so many excellent choices.

Clean GB MTD

MIUI··············

Currently Legendary 2.2 with adw launcher, didn't really care for the launcher that came with it.

Went from Stock EI22 Gingerbread to CleanGB (MTD) to CM7. CM7 rocks!

RandomROM 3.3

Roms used
So far I have used Marcusants ASC roms 5.1 - His V.2 was a fan of the speed, but just not stable. And I'm not a fan of V.2 with the red color theme. I have also Tried MIUI 1.12.23 which worked good, but i like having the app drawer which this did not. I am currently running CleanGB 1.03 with no issues. It is a stable rom, running 4g without issues and installed gtalk w/video. Next on the list is the new CM7 version which seems to have gotten Wifi stable as well as 4g working.
I have to test out all the roms and supply to all the friends/family that have the epic so they dont end up calling me for every error they get

Legendary RC 2.1 rocking my allblue theme on MTD.

CleanGB MTD is a great ROM. No problems, good battery life. Love it

Hello friends, wife wants to root phone. Need ROM suggestions.

I'm running a rooted Evo 3d so I don't know much about what goes on here. My wife has finally decided to let me root her phone. What are some good stable ROMs that are a good balance of preformance and speed? Preferably de-bloated. Also is there a preference root method. I'm at work and on my phone so my ability to research is a bit limited for now. Thanks

Well my friend, this is the EVO 4G section, not the EVO 3d section =p but I would say check out team nocturnal and swagstr for roms for the 4g if its what your using.. Usually very stable and fast. If your looking for 3d roms, try team nocturnal also

My wife is using the OG Evo. I'm set on my situation. I was looking into rooting her phone for her. I'll look into Nocturnal.

I would recommend Mikg rom it is completely stable has a lot of themes and amazing support. As for root method it depends on android version. If the phone is 2.3.5 you have to use HTCdev its like hboot 1.5 for the og. If its 2.3.3 you have to use revolutionary.io and check what hboot you have. If 2.2 you have to use unrevoked

Also, if your wife is kind of a girly girl, diablo67 has a pink themed ROM on here that he put a lot of work into.

SOS X..Sense, No bloat, fast and when combined with lionfish kernel you get great AOSP-like battery life...

I'd agree with the SOS X recommendation. Can't go wrong with MikG though.

Root your wife's phone? Run in the opposite direction and run very fast... No win situation! lol

Tommy Tomato EVO CLASSIC ROM... I have tried many others and this is by far the best sense rom I have used. Extremely smooth and stable. I've even tried a few after being on it for awhile, but I keep coming back to the classic. I say give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

I have been running rooted for 5 months and have become very fond of the Cyanogen Mod7.1. this has been very solid and i discover new functionality daily. This make your evo the swiss army knife of phones.

Nitrous
I can't say enough about Nitrous -- running it for a couple months now. The RAM to SDcard feature gives me loads of memory to work with, and the ROM is super fast even considering that the SD RAM probably adds lag time.

You should also partition her sd card to get more space with any rom you use. I'll say MIUI its clean and simple and many many themes.
