which guys do you use and WHY?
i use Sense roms mainly for 1 reason...AUTO-FOCUS on VIDEO RECORDING...
i tried MIUI but uninstalled
tried CYANOGEN but eventually went back to SENSE roms.
as off 4/30 i am using MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood v1.2 + WiFi Calling/ and i must say, i am kinda feeling the overall performance and ui. Might stick to this for a while.
Using CM7 because I've heard it's the quickest and with the best battery life. Never tried Sense outside of store demo's; while pretty I've heard it has lower battery life.
Never tried MIUI, though it looks interesting.
Which miui did you flash? The newer versions have wonderful ui, in my opinion xD ive never really stuck with sense just because there isn't much choice as far as customization goes. Ive run it for a few months though, and my battery life stayed the constant 12 hour drain cycle. Cyanogen is the g2's bread and butter, but UDroid is a good competitor for 2.3.3. Im using the sensation rom that rmk just ported. Just glitchy enough to be usable
It kinda depends on what you want in a rom. The best way to know what to flash is to try it out for yourself.

Which miui rom are u using?
im currently using MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood v1.2 + WiFi Calling
but found that alarm clock would force close and alot of other apps would force close.
never tried miui, but have tried a sense rom, and immediately went back to CM7. even with CM problems at times, it has been the best overall. I did not like sense at all. Sense tho does have some nice widgets and i would like to have some of them on CM7. beyond that, ill stick with CM7, my phone only started acting out when i changed from CM to other roms so ill be staying with CM7 period. my phone had no problems until i changed to another rom. so i guess im more scared to try other roms now lol
Am for MIUI all the way... It's just a personal like thing you know.

MIUI is kinda laggy, i love the newly leaked rom fro tmobile, but somehow it won't recognize my router so i can't use wifi at home. so at this moment i will stick with cm7
Well, i like Sense rom as it link my FB,Twitter & contact with great Clock/Weather/Friendstream Widget. It's free (unlike Launcher Pro that u need to pay). once got the OC kernel, my Desire Z is superb!
Cyanogen doesnt have autofocus on picture/video?
I strangely doubt that and even if it doesnt, there is problably a alternative.

Don't ever use another miui that isn't from ganii. His rom's are always more stable for some reason. He just released his version of .29, you might wanna use that instead.

agreed... shouldn't really hate on other devs miui's. they both work great and ive had no issues with either.. i use both depending on what i feel like updating to..
im currently running ganii 4.22.. i don't wanna update and have no reason to latest build of miui.. change log doesn't interest me, and i don't wanna have my theme uncompatable or lose trackpad wake.
and miui has never lagged for me, and shown better battery life than cm7, cm7 kinda gets "boring" after a while.. just personal opinion thou.. i like it, but i like the customization of miui better. plus its alot easier to change themes.
idc for sense.. i havent used it for a while, but i always had some lag issues although im sure they are fixed now, and customization was minimal.. besides there sense layouts..
umm I'm on UD ROM 3.3.0 and i can truly say im pleased with my G2 at the moment, but I've always wanted to try a Miui Rom, but i don't know where to find it? can anyone provide some links and tuts?

MiUI Rom
Please check out that link!!
After trying numerous versions of all three, I usually stick with a custom version of CM7 or Stock GB roms. MIUI, while pretty, just doesn't do it for me. I don't like the layout. Sense is nice, but once again, I don't like how it is setup.
Ever since I flashed OsiMood MIUI, I've never looked back. I've tried CM, Ultimate Droid and MIUI and the latter just has everything that I want in my phone. I've only tried Sense on somebody elses phone but didn't like it one bit.
MIUI is not only visually stimulating, but also has a great UI and is very easy to theme. Everything about it is just great and I would recommend it before any other ROM.

Ever since I tried MIUI OsiMood 1.06.03 I never seen anything so good. I am comfortable with the iPhone UI and the fast blazing feel. However the battery life is a little off, so you might need to download "JuiceDefender" but everything else the keep improving so no need to worry, the battery life gets better and better every update. You guys should give it a spin. This rom is amazing!!!

this ... with the specs of the e3D the phone would blaze .
but i do like my sense and sense 3.0 is crazy
As soon as CM7 hits the 3d, I'm all over it.
I like Sense a lot. I have tried a couple other roms and different launchers, but end up going back to sense. I ran my evo stock for about 6+ months before rooting. Prob won't wait as long on the 3D but def sticking with sense.
Ill rock sense for awhile. I like aosp and especially cm7, but I am currently using calks evio2 and everything just works. That's the best thing about stock or stock baser roms - everything seems to just work. I like that.
Tapa tapa tapa
Until sense uses better Bluetooth drivers that allow my audio to sound good to my car, sense isn't even an option. Cyanogen uses the default Google drivers which sound flawless.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Fans of CM and AOSP will have to port LG ROM or something like that to have the 3d options...
I flashed to AOSP for a brief period of time, but Myn's sense rom made me stop flashing other roms. I love HTC Sense and sense 3.0 will be amazing; there's nothing like the design and functionalities that come with it.
I am probably going to keep it stock for a long time. I have tried all the roms for the Evo and I always end up going back to stock. It seems like all the roms eventually start to slow down.

I agree with this , except with Myns I used Calkins Remove sence , installed ADW Ex , Flashed a GB appearence zip (added a few mods myself) and made kind of a sensless GB Myn's rom . Smooth and very battery friendly . I tried the AOSP's out there but kept getting plagued with high OS usage after phone calls . Tried all the fixes but nothign ever corrected it . So Myn's RLS5 is where I will stay .........for now LOL
Stock for me. Atleast for a while. Isn't Bluetooth supposed to be better?

Hey xda,
I just got a HTC G2, straight of ebay. I'll be following the tutorials posted to perma-root, CID unlock and S-off (not using visionary).
My only question and concern is, just because I am new to this phone, apart from CM being at the top, what other roms are stable? fast? and reliable? (decent battery life, not too many fc's etc)
I'm very much interested in something with HTC Sense, but meh, am willing to compromise if its too buggy. I've been reading here and there that there are tons of problems with scaling etc when phones switches from portrait/landscape etc.
Any suggestions will be great! Thank you for reading this far!!
Sorry, but you're going to have to do what everyone else does. Try them out and decide for yourself.
Hello and welcome!
My suggestions:
If you want sense, look up Virtuous 1.0.2 for froyo. If you want sense 3.0, look up Virtuous Fusion 1.0.0.
If you want stock android, look up Virtuous G-lite 1.0.2.
All of the above ROMs are by the same dev, are very stable and I have used all of the above. Currently using G-lite because as much as I love sense, it does take alot of memory.
As posted before, try the ROMs for about a week each and see how you like them. It's all personal preference.

I couldn't agree more; as far as ROMs go, rmk's are the most stable. CyanogenMod7 is actually extremely buggy still on the G2 (at least, when I used it a few weeks ago). While CM7 is probably the fastest ROM I've used, there are lots of little things that don't work correctly, and newer builds sometimes will break things that worked on older builds. I'm currently running G-Lite and I'm extremely satisfied.

Cm6.1.1 is nice and stable with decent battery life. It isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the myriad gingerbread releases but it gets the job done and can be tweaked to appear incredibly 'speedy' by using spare parts from the app market and Launcher Pro.
Ill throw my vote in there for Pyrorom. Its fast and is based off of CM7 if I remember correctly. I had tried a few, but as soon as I booted Pyro, I knew it was the one.
Good luck anyways.

virtuous g-lite is faster than cyanogenmod... check it out.
Try a stock rom! Or dive in and before you know it you will be flashing new roms every other day.

fwiw I have yet to find another ROM as stable as GingerVillain 1.5 with the 4.02.17 radio. Everything works perfect and I can get 18 hours battery life.
Tried Glite 1.02, super smooth, great ROM with the 4.30 radio BUT could not get the bluetooth to pair. Plus a few minor quirks with the camera flash not working. This is mostly due to the hw differences between the G2 and desire Z. I have a bell Can Desire Z
if u don't want sense...
If you have a G2, go for Glite 1.02 otherwise GV 1.5 is stable and can't be beat ..yet imo
Cm7 has been the only rom I stayed with. I tried sense roms and wanted to pull NY hair out, I simply just cannot stand sense.

In time, yep, will be flashing around here and there and i'll know for myself. I just wanted to know which ones are the best to start of with. I remember when i got my Milestone, man, i flashed all the bad roms first, had soo many problems.
Especially when ROM threads exceed 50 pages, Yikes!! Takes forever to go through them.
Thanks though!

Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Well, I've been using HoneySense 8 released a few days ago and battery life is incredible. Give it a shot maybe? UI is awesome. Has some quirks yet though' but it's stable. Only problems I've found is the innability to use front-facing camera in the stock app and well, what everyone is talking about in the thread, not being able to use wi-fi calling.
EDIT: OH sorry, if you're looking for anything other than sense, MIUI is my other choice. Used it for a few months back when I had a T-Mo G2/desire Z. I don't know the specs on how it works on the MyTouch 4g, but there's already an official release and some mods out there~ look em up.
my progression:
CM7, Unity, Royal Ginger and now MIUI
Loved Royal Ginger but I like the camera, messaging and dialer on MIUI so i'm staying with it. Plus you can sent MMS on WIFI with MIUI.
MIUI all the way. using the demonspeed mod and TDJ's kernel, its just awesome. great battery life(my best was 23hrs on a full charge), performs very well, and has many themes for customizing. check it out

Derek offers a excellent ROM, and he's quite helpful with your problems(unless you're rude), but besides that it's my top recommendation.
but i think MIUI is unstable sometime
especially when im playing music ,it break down and i just cant shut the power down since it doesnt response ,the only way to solve is to remove battery
My first rom was virtuous unity(sence3.0).. great one! then I tried virtuous doubleshot(sence3.0) and now using MexDroidmod (based on Cyanogen?) Fast and good battery life. Now I need to figure out what next lol

I was just curious about what Sense 4A brings to the table. I've had my Glacier running on Virtuous Affinity for a while now, which comes with Sense 3.5. What does Sense 4A do that 3.5 doesn't? Or is it the same thing with a different name because it goes hand in hand with ICS?
I believe its a new looking sense but a slightly stripped down version of sense 4 seemed pretty stable when I ran it, only way to truly see what it brings.... is to run it, would highly recommend it. devs worked extremely hard on venomous.

It's a much slimmer version of sense. It's an alpha build so its not really ready to use as a daily driver. It shows alot of promise for an alpha build though.

It's basically a glorified version of Sense 4.0. I usually use SetCPU to bench my roms and it was comparable to AOSP Gingerbread. It's main focus is speed but there is plenty of eyecandy. Unlike EQjunkie, i think sense 4 can easily be used as your daily driver provided you don't need to use the camera.

That right there would be a problem. The camera, that is. I wouldn't flash creamed glacier for the longest time due to the camera issue. I'm running MIUI V4 right now and its amazing. It'll be hard to pry me from it, but those screenshots a little further up look mighty nice...

I ran the Virtuous Sense 4a rom for a while. It seems like whenever I decide that I never use the camera, I need it for something so I went back to creamed glacier.
I was very impressed with the virtuous rom though and I have been watching very closely for an update. It is crazy fast and I got the best battery life I have ever had with any android phone. The latest version of Creamed Glacier is also giving me good battery life so far. It is a good time to be a MT4G owner.

The same thing happens to me with the camera. All you can do is sit back and wait. That was the initial story with ICS ROMs, and now it applies to Sense 4.0/4A ROMs.
...Sad thing is I have no patience. As long as Wifi and 90% of other things work, I'll probably flash it later tonight.
