I need a solid rom for a friends phone

Can anyone recommend a solid rom? I installed a froyo rom about 10 months ago on a friends hero.. he has been getting lots of daily random reboots.. other than those he likes it. I'm looking for a solid rom.. don't care if it's froyo or gb.. just something that works well.. a rom that's been around for a while possibly. I've been installing roms on my Evo 4g and galaxy s 4g.. but don't have experience with hero roms..

probably cyanogenmod. If you want sense UI stock is probably the way to go, because its the most stable. Personally the most stable custom sense rom I've used was fresh hero 2.4. I think it was android 2.1. Now if you dont mind not having sense then I sugest Cyanogenmod it is currently at stable release of 7.0.3 android 2.3 Gingerbread. I have looked around and tried many roms but im slow about how to install things and have issues with most roms, so I always end up back at Cyanogenmod. Hope this helps

the truth is everyone is going to say something different,there are going to be issues on every rom some very minor and some big it all depends my only suggestion is to install a coouple different roms like aoscmod hero deck and cm7 and a stock sprint rom then make back ups of them so he can test them out and easily switch back to the one he likes best.

He's absolutely right about preference and different ppl but,
In the little time I've had with my hero... I've tried all of the roms available, and since OMFG has fixed the wifi problem I'm using their latest ... Smooth fast and no fc for me

@OP.....Quoted above is the best answer to this question. Bierce22 nailed it. A rom/setup that runs perfect for me is in no way relevant to how it's going to work on your friends phone. There are just too many variables between phones and between people's preferences & needs.

Hmm
I would recommend Cynogenmod 7 stable release.
Everything works, No reboots (In my experience) Super stable
and most important of all very smooth.
Just use Launcher pro (free version from market) or
the original launcher (see below for link) which comes with
GB because ADW is known for giving people force close problems.

thanks for the heads up guys.. I ended up putting the cm7/gb rom on it.. and so far so good. Runs pretty darn good.

Your random daily reboots could be from having your CPU speed set too high. Currently I'm building CM7 from source, but aosp is my other preference for stability, performance, etc. But as others above me said, each to their own. Find one that suits your friend best.

Best longterm ROM?

Hello together,
well I have a new phone now (MOTO Defy). I want to give the GT540 to my brohter. He isn't that interested in technical stuff and it will be his first Android phone. So I want to ask you what you think is the best Rom for him?
He don't need that much features, but a stable running rom, with good battery and not that much preinstalled apps. Also it would be very good, if there is not that much on the todo-list of this rom, because I think he don't like to update the Rom "every week".
At the moment I'm really looking forward to airbus360's Froyo Optimum v7.0. I think it should be very stable, has a easy to use UI (Tochwiz looking Launcher) and seems to be nearly final.
What to you think or suggest?

airbus's froyo optimum will be the best choice for that ;D

Well, I too am waiting for froyo optimum, but honestly.I recommend Eleganceswift or Greendroid 2.1 is just the most fastest, stable and lasting os(for now) on our devices oh and great choiche taking the Defy that fathermucker will last
Sent from my LG GT540 using XDA App

Okay, now after Froyo Optimum v7.0 has not been released and also finding some bugs in current version I tried EleganceSwift 5.0. And this ROM really rocks! Look great, is very fast and the UI is easy to use.
I think NoDze is right about suggesting 2.1 Roms for this purpose.

[Q] Best rom

Hey I just got a Samsung Note and was wondering which is the best rom?
I've had atrix for a while so I was used to the Rom creators for it but note's rom are all new to me so I cant tell one rom from another that well.. thank you in advance..

Im fine with cassies rom and riversources kernel.

Give rocketrom a try, you'll love it.

+1000 Very good ROM,you must try it

I don't know guys - they all look, feel and work the same to me - honestly I can't wait for some REAL custom roms not based on TouchWiz (which is super annoying) .. If you used MIUI you will know what I mean.
Do you think it will ever happen, or are we tied to S-Pen software embedded into stock rom?

Another vote for Rocket ROM. Keep in mind that there is a file to revert to the stock theme somewhere in the thread.

These threads aren't allowed but before it's closed... I use Cassies Rom

they are all good... Though we might differ on our experiences with the current available ROMs + considering the fact that though we have same Phone model and brand, but the fact is each of us has unique Galaxy Note on our hands (Example is some NOTE can tolerate extreme undervolting and some cant)... We have about 5 active ROM thread, you can visit each of the thread, read the users feedback and you can also post your queries there... or you can try each of the ROM, have each of them stay at least 3-5days on your phone, then you can decide whats best for you (like what i did)... GoodLuck...

Hi there,
I know this is an old thread, but since it was the first one I found when I was searching for good Roms, I figured I'd post my experience here. I've been using RocketRoms for a while now and find them clean and they work well. I've also been playing around with Franco's kernels, and so far I've never seen such great battery life as I have today with RocketRom v22 and Franco kernel 7. Once ICS roms become more stable I'll switch over, but I'm so pleased with performance now that I'm reluctant to switch over too early.

See my signature
Very smooth, no lag, great battery life.

stock LA1 + Franco/Abyssnote kernel here. Usability of Kernel depends on your note

As far as GB roms go I had great success with Darkyrom.
I've recently gone over to Midnote ICS - and so far it's the best of the current crop of ICS roms.
If you really need your phone to work every day without fault, go with darkyrom.
If you want the newest bells and whistles, go with midnote.

I've tried most of the GB ROMs, and personally, there is only this 'refined' one which i always go back to... DarkyROM
Run it with Franco kernel, you got a bloody satisfying setup

These sort of threads always take a wrong turn and turn into flame war. There is no best rom for one user. Read the information available and make your own decision.​

Hero users, what ROM are you on?

Please, no discussion on what's better..

last visited roms ...
in alphabetical order!

and the purpose is?

I'm just curious, aren't you?.. is a poll..

I think it's interesting, waiting for more people to vote

Currently on Speedmachine v4 because I need a little stronger battery compared to GB roms, so voted for other. Otherwise it would be DeckedX.

The main problem here is that you can't change your vote, so when I flash a new rom i can't update :/

Anyway, it seems that this survey failed as long as I could not provide those "other" ROMs .. sorry

Very interesting thread.
I've currently hoped from Ligux 2.3.7 to heroine 2.1 sense.. The pure speed of this Rom is phenominal, I mean just when pulling down the status bar for example you really feel the smoothness.. and its actually in real time, so doesn't come down 5 seconds later. But yeah I've figured that I don't need android 2.3 or 2.2, all the upgrades are really unecessary for me personally. All I need is calls, text and whatsapp. If I needed games or web truthfully this phone would have been long gone by now.

I use the official CyanogenMod 6.1 release, with Flykernel 13 @264-576. Stable, battery life of 2-4 days, decent speed, vanilla Froyo.
Eclair wasn't really an option, I think it's quite behind the newer versions, I hate Sense and Gingerbread never run smoothly enough on Hero, so vanilla Froyo was the best compromise for me.
Why didn't I go with one of the local ROMs? Not to offend anyone, but most of the CM6 ROMs here are butchered, full of ugly themes and unnecessary changes. Show me one that runs better than my configuration and I'll be happy to change to it.

I'm using CyanogenMod 7 but i think i'll revert to some 2.2 rom like FroydVillain ot CM6, not sure yet

why don't have Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 Android 2.3.7 it is one of the best roms

Decked x ligux

I think if you looking at performance and stable Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 and cyanogenmod are the best choice for Htc Hero

Elelinux, last one (7.1 v3.6), not the light or the Custom version, just the standar one with the default kernel

Best ROM?!

Hi,
I was searching for a new ROM for my Sony Ericcson Xperia Arc S.
I saw few options but I still don't know what to decide.
I'm looking for something fast, stable, battery friendly.
Moreover, I don't want a ROM with bugs like: camera isn't working or so.
Thank you very much! :good:

Belive me...the stock GB .62 with init.d + cwm+ root it's perfect. You don't need more.... :good:
PS: if you want an alternative ICS rom you can try Beautiful ICS V4 ...All other ics rom are not good ..

Latest stock with JB Andreno libs

It is good Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0.3

There no such thing as a "best ROM" as you'll see from the responses on all the other best ROM threads. And if you want one with this or that then read what's included and what isn't from the ROM info and make your own mind up.

These questions wandered me as well but not right now.
If you are looking to give new life to your Xperia Arc S then I'd suggest to go for Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0.3 (optimized for gaming, transparent looks, butter smooth etc)
Want to just experience a custom ROM then you go for Xperia Pureness, Revolution HD, Beautiful ICS and others. I have personally tried these roms and of those I found XUD 2.0.3 to be far better than the others (again its my opinion )
Now the choice is yours

There is no such thing as "Best Rom". ROMs are created and optimized for different uses depending on the user's preference.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた

the "Best ROM" is the one that works best for you. Each ROM may respond differently to each person, depending on what apps they have installed, the hardware itself can even cause differences. Your best bet is to read, read, and read some more. Then try one, and another until you find one that works great for you..
