CM7 vs all other GB roms, opinions

I have ran evervolv in the past but have been running the latest versions of CM7 for about 4 months, I love all the customization options, but I do get some quirks, and random reboots etc.. occassional lag
I am wondering what you guys would recomend as far the fastest and most stable GB rom
Evervolv? Evo deck? MIUI? etc?

CM7 is ok, kernel that comes with it is horrible though. Nightlies are better than their stable release.

Deck has been extremely stable and I've had zero hiccups with it. Basically identical to cyanogen.

I agree with cares deck is extremely stable I really like it
but I love miui look

Deck is awesome, much faster/reliable than CM has ever been for me. Though after moving to an area with no 4G I switched to MIUI and I absolutely love it.

Deck's is without question the best for my phone. I've kept it running longer than any other ROM.

I'd love to use MIUI but the no 4G on it is a deal breaker Deck's has been a lot faster and stable than CM was for me on my Evo. I'd skip CM all together and just try Deck's if you want an AOSP ROM.

From my understanding Deck's is CM7 with everything stripped out except for EVO specific features/kangs. That may or may not make it faster, I dont know because Ive never used it, but that is my understanding of the difference.

I rock CM7 Nightlties...I get at least 1day 5hrs minimum now...lol

+1 to decks ...Neva had had reboot on it and GPS works flawlessly

Not necessarily true, it is majorly based off of CM7. If you read the post for the deck rom it has other things pulled from other GB rom's as well. It's certainly not just a "renamed CM7" because it works for me a lot better stability wise. He has also fixed a lot of things that CM7 hadn't. Not knocking the CM team whatsoever because we wouldn't have Deck's if it wasn't for them.

Just to add my two cents... I run cm7, I enjoy the bloat and custom settings. No, deck is not cm7. A lot of roms use stuff from cyanogen just because he and his team do so much work. However you have to give credit to Deck for his rom being a compilation of his own. Like it was said read the opening post for his rom and you will see.
If you want super clean basic gingerbread that you can do whatever customization you want go with deck. If you want gingerbread that has been tweaked and had included tweaks options go cm7.
I will give props to savaged zen here as well. Very similar to cm7, but not the same! I love the included kernel tweaks, no need for script but less customizable. It is awesome that a Dev would include a custom kernel specifically built around their rom.
Honestly we have such awesome choices for gingerbread and they keep getting better. Try them all and find out which suits your needs best.
EVO 0003, CM7 stable, Tiamat, Vipermod, V6 Supercharger.

to OP:
I've been trying a lot of roms lately too. For AOSP, go with Decks 1.2. Its lightweight, fast and pretty awesome. If you want sense, do a search for Synergy Nightlies and you'll find what your looking for. Another good alternative is MikG 2.0

I've been rocking Deck since the pre release of 1.0. But in the last couple of weeks have been trying out the Sense 2.1+3.0 hybrids. After flashing MikG/Alliance, I haven't really had the desire to go back to AOSP.

I've had CM7 for awhile and today i had an important place to go to but the GPS was so spotty i couldn't get to it and i read this post and decided to flash Decks and i gotta say the GPS works flawless and the stability is just superb.

Best Rom These Days

I am still running my Bionix rom from March. Looking to install something new. What are the current "best" daily drivers? Looking for battery life and speed.

Project v with bali kernal. I've pretty much used every combo non gingerbread and i love it! QUOTE=shark1217;15212436]I am still running my Bionix rom from March. Looking to install something new. What are the current "best" daily drivers? Looking for battery life and speed.[/QUOTE]

I second Project V, not with Bali, but with Super Dragonmodz. This combo works best for me.

I 3rd Project V but I use Bullet kernel
Project-V 6-5-11

There really is no current best daily rom its all in preferences! For example i love cm7 as i use it as a daily driver but some would say no to that rom as a daily so its all up to preferences

Get on that Simply Honey 2.3.4 and stream some Netflix!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

If u wanna stick to froyo, i recommend simply galaxy 2.8. Using it with the bullet kernel and i get 24+ hours with decent usage. Just ordered myself a momax 2700mah battery in white(looks pretty sexy). So will prolly try out some more GB roms. Simple honey 3.8(3.9 update this weekend) and revolution are great roms to try out for sure

I know what I would *not* recommend. I wouldn't recommend CM7 with KB5 modem and NEO 10 kernal. Restart galore!!!!

Project V and bali x 1.1. Awesome battery life and speed
Vibrant
Rom: Project-V
Kernel: Bali X1.1

I recently flashed EDT's bi winning V3. Its been unbelievable for me. Project V just didn't like my phone. Even after a fresh Odin. Biwinning has been the cats pajamas. Buttery smooth and stupid fast.
Bi-winning V3

project v/bali 1.8.7
like the look/snappiness. battery is decent with moderate usage.so far, favorite rom.

Best rom;
It's a matter of opinion and personal taste, i've flashed basically every single rom on the vibrant new and old, the most reliable and stable i've found is Trigger( Anything, 3.2 is the bee's knees) but I am also really digging Toxic Muzic and Malice V3 all over again as well, if you want ginger, Asgard is Phenomenal (I like it so much better than CM7 and Miui is cool, but Asgard owns all) Dan Brutal recently released a new ginger rom, it's pretty amazing Brutal Honey ( Definitely recommend it) but yeah, you want a daily driver, Anything EDT or of course Team Whiskey, but Team Toxic is pretty amazing to.
Enjoy either way
(BTW Project V is pretty awesome( And it is Roman's( Trigger, replacement) Definitely give it a flash!

With the exception of cm7, which ran smooth but I got too many rebooted and sleeps of death, I'd say most of the gingerbread roms are garbage. My favorite Tom so far is bi-winning 3.0
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

if u need gps go with SGSII hybrid it runs great and has great speed and battery life if not i suggest cm7 with neo10 and kb5 modem battery life and speed is great

Project V is the best ROM I've ever used. It's so good that I don't even want to flash a kernel in fear that it will mess up its greatness.

Try RevolutionRom, it is lagless, as fast as CM7, and I can get 40+ hours of battery with OC.

After trying a few GB roms like Simply Honey, CM7, and MIUI, I'm back to Bionix 1.3.2 with Bali. I loved MIUI but the batt life was atrocious so I'm back to Bionix.

[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

Best ROM out right now???

I've been loving AOKP, and the boot animation alone makes it worth it!

Wait for classic super magic it should be the best rom.

Not another one.....
Again, there is no "best rom". Everyone has their own opinion, and everyone has different wants/needs in a rom. Since you are rooted, just try out a few. That's the benefit of flashing roms, just make a backup, and if you dont like a new rom, flash another or reload your backup.

I can't get AOKP to run more than a minute (literally) without a random reboot and I have flashed my share of ROMs. Plus last I checked AOKP doesn't have everything working.
Your best bet for stable fully functional ROM is MikG3.0.

I'm liking AOKP but it still has some minor issues (being ICS, it's no surprise). I expect it to be my daily once everything is ironed out.
I'm using a tweaked CM7 for daily use, but I also really like the Mik roms.

I'm using the Ligux port from pspunderground. I'm not really into AOSP that much, but this is a great ROM. Very smooth.

No matter what I try cm7 nightly's always pulls me back. Especially since the officials started up again. I tried Nitrous 1.3.1 which was pretty solid. Radiance 6.1 runs great on my wife's phone.

On my evo i started compiling cm7.2 once a week or so then just wipe caches and flash the new one over the old i usually only compile when something new has been added that catches my eye or when several new things i dont really care about have been added the rest of the time im compiling cm9 for either the evo or my kindle fire and fixing to start compiling it for my et4g soon gotta figure out the ins and outs of this phone cuz its boot img is way different than my evo or fire

The cm9 on the evo isnt as smooth as the aokp yet it works pretty well on my fire but then again it only has wifi no cam no phone etc so alot of stuff can be left out for it , the evo however my last compile had battery issues and random forcecloses that were annoying ad hell but ive been having to mod the current ics kernel to play nice im hoping to find a devkit for a device or devices from htc with similar specs i can steal some drivers from to get the hardware working better right now im running 7.2 and only testing 9 for a day or so to see where i have it but atleast it boots up and most things will function once or twice before force close city kicks in

I am tired of flashing back to stock to get prl updates. Any favorite Sense roms? I am running the october 2011 stable release of cm7 and have been since late october without any real issue however my prl is getting really stale so I need to do something in the next week or two.
Edit- I should mention that I am looking for a fully functional daily driver sense rom. I looked through this list http://evo4g.roms-db.com/ and was hoping to narrow it down to one or two that others have tried/liked.
I require 4g radio, gps, 3g data, wifi and wireless hotspot (like cm7)

After running CM7 (per my previous post), i tried about 5 or 6 roms and eventually settled on mikg 3.1. Thanks for your help. Updated my hboot, radios, and prl easily and things are working really smoothly now. Reception issues are completely solved and 4g is working tons better. Thanks!

Even though its all about personal preferences, I was using Rainy Day, which was stable, smooth, and fast...battery life was ok. I'm currently running The Express latest build by OD and his team...awesome rom...very fast, great battery life even with heavy use!, stable, with a ton of space!

The express is a godly ROM, I switch roms a lot and and always find something, with express nothing is ever wrong, constantly updated with perks, and has themed and stock, the devs really know what thier doing, sense based but amazing, I love it so much, that's rare for me to say for a rom

Slim is great and packed with features. ICS333 is simpler, and logically it's harder to make things go wrong. My personal favorite right now.

I'll also suggest Slim, my previous one was teamicsgs but i wouldn't go back to it, even if it's also a good rom

I'm using AOKP, i think is the better so far
Team ICSSGS is also good, but i think that project is dead

ics333-1.1
ICS 333-1.1 is the best rom as per my opinion extremly stable .....clean rom almost identical to stockware and it gives best results with semaphore kernel ....

Slim Rom with Semaphore 1.2 399 mb of ram or 387 if you need 720p recording instead of 480p.
Fastest than a Ferrari, rock stable, and don't forget that you have HW acceleration in ALL apps with ICS, the thing that gives you the iphone 4s style smoothness.

ICS333.. Smooth, fast, simple and bug free..

Aokp or cm9 the two roms are the best but aokp had a lot of customization

Gummy is very nice... customizable, fast, stable and with theme chooser!

Slim.....any people that have problems installing are people that can't read, or have dirty instal of their previous ROM
