You should try some out and find the one that suites you. If you are worried about bricking the phone than don't install a custom ROM on it. I have used several the last week or so and of course I have a favorite ROM as well but the choice is individual.
Actually, I would like to know this too.. Im all new to this world of custom ROMs, and I fid it hard to see precisely what everything does, and what makes it uniqe.. For a newb like me, this is indeed hard.

Give hime some credit....80 plus posts not bad, maybe migrated from another device...
If you don`t want to risk bricking your phone then simple NO FLASH NO RISK....
IF you want all the lastest stuff pick a rom you like the contents of....
Personaly i`m on miri at the mo, Might give NRG a try when its released...
Once you start flashing you`ll get the buzz and you`ll want the latest revision all the time....
Good luck, and there`s allways some one willing to help out,
Next time i`d tag your question onto an allready running post about best roms, Do a search and try not to start a new thread....

I am new to it all as well, but didn't have keept me from trying out 5 different roms and I am trying a few more when they are released as well.
The best roms i have tested is the Topix 1.1 and the XT Pandora 1.0 which I am using now. The thing I like about them both is the are really fast and responsive. The Pandora rom has more software installed from the start which can be both good and bad. The collection of apps in pandora suits me well, the topix had to get a few pieces of software installed.
Admins and many people dont like topics like that because they bring us to endless discussions. Some people are fan of that rom others are fan of another one and start to 'battle' here.
As far as i know there are five or six roms around here. Thats not to much to try.

As everyone else said don't flash if you are scared! if you read well and follow instructions there is no reason you brick your device ...
If you are:
1. Looking for stable and fast 6.5 ROM I reccomend Miri
2. Looking for stable and fast 6.5.x ROM with menubar at the bottom try Maati
so do what the rest of us do and test. I tried 4 ROMs the first day SSPL was released and have now settled on my fav. People who have been flashing for a while do have preferred cookers but as you are new i would try 3 or 4 and try them. The Rom Posts always tell you what is included as extras and what they have removed from the standard apps that come with it to either speed it up or make a little mnore space.
Do some more research if needed but dont come asking what the best ROM is as it all comes down to personal opinion in the end anyway. Take buying a Car yes you might ask people which to buy but in the end you will test drive a few then settle on which is the best for YOU. It's the same with ROMs.
As for worrying about bricking your phone as long as you follow the instructions you should be fine. I have been doing this for a couple of years now and the only issue i have ever had was flashing a Security unlocked Radio because i didnt pay attention to what the instructions said.

For answer what's best now, i would like to say, stock 1.61 is best one.
Try alot of cook Rom so far, but no one still now is stable, all of them cause a system freeze on my phone.
Note that HD2 is very fast and have a high hardware performance allready, so rom cook needed stable at the first.

I agree with you. Make a big round trying all the custom roms , now I'm back to 1.61 stock rom. 1.61 is fast and stable. Gonna wait till the custom roms are stable first before I use them for daily usage.

I agree with this. I have since gone back to 1.48 (+ hotfixes + 1.61 radio, so it's basically 1.61 in German). In particular, WM6.5.3 seems to cause a few problems. I am sure this will get fixed in due time. What the OP was in a way criticizing is the fact that many custom roms have third party apps and themes built in - which is very much a matter of taste. I personally look forward to this:
- Clean 6.5.3(.3) OS
- HTC Sense + other stock apps patched so they do not conflict with 6.5.3.
- No custom themes / icons etc unless they are provided as optional addon.
From my Kaiser i still remember the "UC" method, where cabs were optionally added after flash depending on the what you put in a text file. I think this was the best compromise.
So the newest official rom is the best? And after installing that i have to tweak everything?
aint it possible to delete everything and just install a fresh windows mobile and htc sense, and go on yourself with stuff i want? Or is it not possible/not a good idea?

i dont think the official rom can beat the two latest cooked roms i have used. the topix and pandora are faster and more smooth and still has the htc software as well
i tried em all
i really wish to take some thing from everything
but back to miri
man that rom is super fast
it just needs some folders and some apps thats all
i am on miri's too.. didn't try others but coming from 1.43 stock it was much smoother!!!

Although I like your common sense argument, I wonder if it holds when you realise that a stock rom with a gazillion tweaks, utilities and driver updates added isn't realy a stock rom anymore.
So what's better: to go for a tweaked rom that is tested and shared by a community of users, or to soft-modify a rom yourself?
The only thing I'm a bit worried about is how save my data are on a customed rom. I mean aren't they a bit "hacker" prone? Not that i mistrust the chefs, but the components they use, how trustworthy are they?
EDIT: but then again, also installed utilities, programs etc. could potentialy hijack my personal data.... (so not maybe the worry isn't very realistic)
Hello all, this is my first post and I have some queries. As we all know the new Samsung firmware JP2 has many bugs like Swype not working, Battery draining very fast etc. I want to know which is most stable ROM which doesn't have these problems.
I don't want to try any custom ROM because of overclocked processor as it will short it's life and void the warranty. I am thinking to flash the JPN ROM but though to get advice before doing anything. I hope it won't have any effect if I use European firmware as I am from India. I am currently using JP6.
I think you should be using Kyrillos' ROM. It's very stable.
Opt for a non-overclocked custom, you won't regret it If you really want to stay using stock roms, i'd suggest JPM/JPN.

I'm testing it. Let's go with me.
customs are a balance and trade off
well stock ROM may be the most stable but from my experience of experimentations with different roms, and i've tried many roms, if you are thinking of intalling many applications then stock roms are just useless as you would get blank/black screens too often in the stock Tw launcher as the applications try to load from SD card, where you will have to install them for want of space. so if you want to try lot of applications you will have to go for a custom rom with ext2/ext4 support. after trying many custom roms i've finally stopped at POX v 1.0 non oc. Its silky smooth and thats after installation of more than 43 third party apps/games, though you will have to live with some minor glitches which you wont mind. Yes stay away from OC versions as they drain your battery and freeze your phone. The hardware (processor) structure if galaxy3 if not designed for overclocking though it may be overclocked.
XWJPF + go launcher ex
perfect combination..no lags blazingly fast
(oh yes i,ve also rooted my phone and have set cpu.. , so maybe thats y..still XWJPF...no problems)
i have JPM and thinking of moving to XWJPN.
how is it that JPM is pre-rooted if it is official samsung firmware?
I think you should be using Kyrillos' ROM too. It's very stable.
Samsung engineers aren't idiots or fools.. JP2 is d most stable ROM for this phone. I have used custom roms and trust me..there ain't any ROM more stable.

Then i think you should try using the latest European firmware, XWJPF. Its far better than DDJP2. Trust me.
Lol JP2 has many bugs including battery draining issue. How come it is more stable?
Confused between multiple opinions. Might add a poll soon.
If you were to use custom roms, use the Non oc version by Kyrillos. From all the roms that i have tried (there have been many), i have found Kyrillos to be the best.
If you were to use regular Firmwares, the best i believe is either JPF or JPM. A lot of them out there still support JPF, while the constant flashers would recommend the JPM
BTW...Kyrillos is based on JPM
XXJPM by Kyrillos, safe flash and very stable
No worries, I think I have the perfect solution for you... In a few minutes I'll be posting my ROM, which is exactly what you need - because I made this ROM for I had the same problems as you!
Also, I'm writing this, coz I want to post it in the development section but I need 10 posts for that...
There are a lot of ROMs and as far as I see, you should try more then one, because everybody likes a different version...
Yeah, so here I am again. Uploaded, you might even try it - see if the problems go away!

InDroid
InDroid v4 looks good n is going to be released soon
i would prefer non OC as it is more stable but u can look for OC as well!
Allthough I use my own custom ROM, I vote for Kyrillos's ROM because it's very stable and fast. I use it for a long period and I was very pleased.
Kyrillos ROM is not only stable, but gives you the choise of OC or Non OC capability!
Yesterday i got an Iconia A500, first thing i did was, of course, to root it and install cwm recovery.
Now i want to flash a new rom but i don't have much time to try all roms and decide which one is the best.
So i decided to take a shortcut with this poll.
Here we go guys...
Which rom do you believe it's the best for Iconia?
Feel free to write comments for your decision. And thank you all for your time.
You missed off the Stock option.
I've tried all those custom ones, and they all have issues which Stock doesn't.
Plus, which one is "best" is purely subjective. All your poll will tell you is which one people use MOST, which doesn't necessarily make it the best.
Taboonay
imho

yeah, you should probably add 'stock' and 'lightspeed' as the latter is gaining traction. i'm using stock rooted for now.

I didn't add stock because i like the extras on the custom roms. As for lightspped it has too many apk's removed for my taste.
I have had my a500 for a month and I think I have tried every ROM except for the minimalist (or whatever it is now called). In general I have found the roms that are based on the stock rom are the best (taboonay, honeyvillain). Taboonay is cool because the developer, Vache, makes available a kitchen UI that is web based so you can modify the ROM and add/remove items. Very cool.
I used Primee which is a build of the Transformer rom for the first two weeks I had the device and I really liked it but there was some sort of dispute over kernel source which I don't come close to understanding and the developer took his toys and went home. He continues to build and support the rom on his own site but I like ROMs to have the visibility of XDA for support.
I tried all of the virtuous roms and it is cool to see roms from other devices but it always seems like there is some little tweak or lag that drives me crazy. Virtuous Galaxy is by far the slickest looking rom IMO. Dare I say that Samsung is almost Apple-like in their UI design (I mean that as a compliment I think).
Right now I am running Taboonay 1.1 with richardtrip's OC kernel and it is silky smooth. It is almost disappointing to have a ROM work so well because as an early Android adopter (HTC Magic), I sort of enjoy the journey more than the destination. Luckily, there is and always will be new ROMs to try.

By excluding ROMs that don't represent what you actually need, you render the whole poll null and void. For all you know, a ROM you left off could well be the most popular!
As for problems, it's things like camera not working properly, or rotation lock not working, or differences in how the external SD card is mounted, or random reboots, or preinstalled games from the stock ROM either missing or not working if you install them etc. All fairly minor things, but I like all the parts on my tab to work as they were meant to work. That's why I run a stock ROM, but use RichardTrips OC'd kernel (which is near to stock).

Well it's a bit more complex than that, you also have to take into consideration (along with it being subjective) the fact that the results are only coming from people who like vote in polls
So strictly the thread title should be: Best custom rom - results based only on people who like to vote in polls
PS I did not vote - but currently using dexters new primee 3.2
MJ-12
I am using Virtuous Galaxy 1.04 ROM; the only issue is not being able to seek in the You Tube app; other than that it's a fast ROM.
My two favorite are not even on there. Lightspeed and Minimal. I like Lightspeed as I can use a custom kernel and clock the tablet to 1.6GHz. I like Minimal as it's a very well done rom without bloat. These are the only two I like better than stock. I've tried many of the others, but only those above have really been worth it for me.
can anyone reply me i am using taboonay and still not able to play HD movies on my TAb
i am not talking about 1080 but 720 MKV's still not working which is simply playable on my galaxy S

The best problem free for me is stock 3.1 and loving it, love the others but toooo many problems.
primee. 9-5a all the way. You can find it on tabletroms.com, and is by far the most stable, well built roms to date, with all the features of the transformer Rom but a hybrid base file system with a lot from the stock Iconia for compatibility
My comparison of 4 ROMS. Like Taboonay 2.1 the best.
I have flashed 4 different ROMS since I purchased my Iconia a500. Here is my take on the pros and cons.
• The first one I tried was Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0 [HC 3.1]. Super fast and had no problems, but I didn’t like the fact that it wasn’t based on an ACER build and there was no way to add the Acer stock games to the ROM. This ROM had the highest Quadrant score out of all the ROMs I tried. It’s discontinued, so there will be no more updates.
• The second one I tried was Honeyvillian 1.05 [HC 3.1]. Good speed, very reliable, and I was able to add the Acer stock games back to the ROM and flash an overclock kernel. The ROM was based on an ACER build, so all the stock software was included. I like some of the ACER stock software, but some of it I could live without. I was reluctant to upgrade to Honeyvillian 1.1 which is a Honeycomb 3.2 ROM because it was based on the a501 OTA update and not the a500 OTA update, and I decided to hold out for a Honeycomb 3.2 Rom that was based on the OTA update for the a500.
• The third ROM I tried was Acer_A500 OTA 7.006.01 [HC 3.2] Rooted w/ Busybox for CWR [Sep 17th, 2011] by ezterry. This ROM was very near stock but rooted. I was able to Flash the adhoc fix and set ro.carrier=wifi-only. It uses the default Acer kernel but I was able to flash an overclock kernel. The ROM was very smooth and had no problems. A great ROM if you want to stay very close to stock and like all the stock ACER software.
• The forth ROM I tried was Taboonay 2.1 [HC 3.2]. I decided to try this ROM because it is based on the a500 OTA 3.2 Honeycomb update for a500 users and the a501 OTA 3.2 update for a501 users. The ROM has all the Acer stock software removed, but you can use the online kitchen to add just the Acer apps and games you want and skip the ones you don’t want. Plus the games get installed to the data partition so they don’t take up room in the ROM it self, and they can be uninstalled. You can also use the online kitchen to install a few other goodies like themes and bootup animations. It has an overclock kernel built in and ro.carrier=wifi-only is set by default for a500 users. So far the speed is great. The only issue I have is that the screen sometimes turns off and on for a second when it sleeps on its own. If I put it to sleep by clicking the power button, the problem doesn’t occur. So far this is my favorite ROM because I get the benefits of Honeycomb 3.2 and I can pick the stock Acer apps I want. GREAT ROM!!! I think I will stay with this one for a while.
Hope this helps some of you that are doing your initial research on picking your first ROM.
Total noob question. I don't mind the stock rom but I would like to overclock. Is it possible to just keep stock rom but still use a kernel like tripps? Also, when 3.2 finally goes ota here in the states, do I need to put everything back to stock (netflix patch as an example) before I update as to not brick my device? Thanks for the help

RichardTrips kernel works fine with stock.
Regarding 3.2, if you take the FOTA, you will lose root, you will lose CWM, and you will lose the ability to flash custom ROMs and kernels. It has a new bootloader that hasn't been broken yet and so far, can't be rooted unless its done pre-flashing.
There's a modded version of the 3.2 stock in the dev section that doesn't do all this, from ezterry.
so do you recommend just flashing a custom rom that already has 3.2? also, what benefits should I see using trips kernal over the stock one? Lastly, can someone post a link to the trip kernel that I should download. Did a search and couldn't find it. Thanks
Yes.
Flash the ROM by ezterry. It's based on the 3.2 update but rooted. It is very near stock, but you can flash an OC kernel.
Do NOT flash your hero phone with 3rd party ROMs unless necessary. I have played with many kinds of ROMs for 1 year. Most of them are downright laggy, unstable, or battery-draining although you could have some new features. These Roms are not fully tested. Some of them even contain spyware... You normally need to wipe your phone for most 3rd party ROM updates and that means you need to re-configure your phone again and again.. Now, I got my stock ROM back after making a Gold-card and I'm very satisfied with my HTC stock ROM. This is a fast, stable, power-saving and fully-tested ROM. Upgrade is very smooth and not painful.
I would suggest you to flash your phone by RUU and then root it by some tools, e.g. http://www.unlockroot.com/. But, please keep an eye on the install procedure. Do not install unnecessary apps unless you want.
The above is only my personal experience. Hope it helps.

You must have been loading up some really bad ROMs if that was your experience. What kind of spyware have you even seen installed in ROMs? Each to their own.

Yeah, if it wasn't for custom roms I would've gotten myself a new phone ages ago. If you want a bugless Rom you just flash a fully tested Rom, if goin want to try something new flash a new Rom. I've never heard about spyware either.
sent with love from me to you
My used ROMs include Crons, CM, Villian and some others that I can't remember. At present, I don't think there is any spyware in Crons, CM, Villian. Crons, CM, Villian are generally recognised as good 3rd pary ROMs. However, I don't think any of them is more stable or faster than stock ROMs.
I found some spywares installed as system apps in some Chinese ROMs disributed from hiapk.com and bbs.anzhi.com.. These are individual-maintained ROMs.
To my understanding, if an app requires extra permissions than what it actually needs, then that could be a spyware.
I'm not a professional mobile device developer. What I need is a rooted ROM that is bugless, does it job well and therefore suitable for everyday use.

Well, New features are very likely to require more computational resource. If you had a machine for win98, and you wanted to try Win7 with that, then I would suggest you not to do it.. HTC Hero is extacly that win98 Machine.

@gnubot, which stock ROM did u flashed?
Now I use a repack of the oficial OTA 2.1-update1,flashed it and i get some Force Close errors(like com.htc.bgp etc).
I tried VillainROM v12 and v13 and i was stuck on the load-screen (i think it is the Sense app that is stuck on).
I saw that @dastin1015 uploaded his Zero Hero Sense 3.5 ROM, looks nice and I would like to try it, but I have some doubts about some bugs. Also, i searched the forum, and couldn't find any info on how to downgrade to 2.1 (if something goes wrong). I can't post a question under the Developer forum (as a new forum user).
Any instructions or help for me(a new android user).
Thanks,

Now I use a repack of the oficial OTA 2.1-update1,flashed it and i get some Force Close errors(like com.htc.bgp etc).
I tried VillainROM v12 and v13 and i was stuck on the load-screen (i think it is the Sense app that is stuck on).
I saw that @dastin1015 uploaded his Zero Hero Sense 3.5 ROM, looks nice and I would like to try it, but I have some doubts about some bugs. Also, i searched the forum, and couldn't find any info on how to downgrade to 2.1 (if something goes wrong). I can't post a question under the Developer forum (as a new forum user).
Any instructions or help for me(a new android user).
Thanks,

Bharat has a new RC version of dastin315's rom. Its at the bottom of the thread. Maybe that'll help?
As for 2.1, you could flash an official 2.1 RUU and then root afterwards.

Do not try to remove build-in apps such as HTC weather..
I got "com.htc.bgp" when using Villian 12/13 as well, I have never had this in my official HTC Asia ROM.
Do you think CM, Crons, Villian are rubbish? mate

I'm a custom rom addict, rarely do I have a rom for more than 2 months before looking for something which more/better features. Sure there's some laggy roms out there, most of which are still in beta so you can't expect them to be "perfect" Roms. That said, there's plenty of excellent roms being worked on by some very clever and creative people, that go above and beyond the features stock roms offer. Get them from trusted sites/developers and you'll enjoy the experience

The best 3rd party ROM for Hero I used is Cronos.

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435655 new rom is better than stock, i think its not rubbish.
Why are u on a site dedicated to customizing and creating development for devices if u think stock is best. Shouldn't that be on the HTC website I'm sure they have a forum for that lol

The fact is that some Sense lovers are tired of laggy new sense ports I guess
Therefore, a stock android ROM is not a choice.
So, in a way, I must admit that gnubot is right.
But we can't deny that the work that JieeHD, dastin1015, elelinux and other devs did is pretty awesome!
And to finish, I don't really remember how many months HTC devs took to make a correct release of the new Sense...

That is SO correct!!
I've tried non-Sense roms, they're great and fast and stable and good-looking, but not for me... i don't feel comfortable with them.
I even have got back to generic 1.5. So getting back to stock is not a solution.
At this moment, i have Wildheroc RoseV5, it's sense and it's GB.
I'm waiting for the Zero Hero Sense 3.5 to be "stable" and i'll flash it
I just had to post in this thread because of the title. It's pretty ridiculous that you'd create a topic on this site as bline007 said and not somewhere else. Especially using that topic title? You didn't really expect that anyone would agree with you I hope. For your sake I can only assume you meant to say "Be careful I've found some 3rd party roms with spyware" or the like.
P.S. I apologize for the flameish response but I feel a lot of patronage for this site and it's members because of the work massive amount of work and personal time they have spent to make my 'legacy' phone go out of it's comfort zone just to bring us features, options and a longevity we never expected from this phone. So please don't taint the hard work of the developers by making posts with titles as such.
Hey guys. I'm to the point where I'm ready to flash my phone to get it's potential out. I'm seen the guide on how to do it. So what is the best or most stable Ics ROM? I also want to get into voltage and clock modding and all that good stuff. Any advice? I've done this multiple times but they have all been on prepaid smartphones. Not sure if there is a big world if difference.
Am I in the wrong area? Not responses yet
Hi,
Section is rigth but question is quite too general....each of Us have different taste. For example I hate Samsung style(stock rom) so currently I am on Paranoiddroid rom (Cm9 based rom with lovely custom Dpi per app).
Anyway my personal advice before flashing any Ics based rom is...READ READ AND READ again because there are many risk related to buggy kernel that can hard brick your Note.
Sorry for not being too detailed about this but, believe me, best thing in Xda is Read, it will make you understand what you are going to do and, most of all, will prevent you to hard brick your really expensive Smartphone.
Bye
Hey I too am in the same state as you. However I looked at some roms and so far I would recommend the kingdroid ics ROM v.2.0. I've read the 2.1 is buggy unlike the 2.0. And that ROM has the s pen functions. Paranoid ROM doesn't have the s pen function but can access the tablet mode of each apps. I'm not sue if king had the new s memo. I'm pretty nervous about doing it since all the news about bad kernels and hard bricks. Hope this is useful.

I'm pretty much the same, except my note is already rooted. But I'll only flash gb roms until a much safer ICS rom is released.

That sounds like the best option. What good in the GB arena?
