I am curious about which ROMs everyone is running and enjoying the most.
Please redirect me if such a thread already exists. I searched the DI forums and didn't find one.
Cm all the way

Lovin' me some tasty Froyo, with Sky Raider 1.9.
CM too. Tried Sky Raider, but CM is just so clean and fast I had to switch back. I can live without a camera for a couple weeks
Interested to see the replies to this one as well - I would love to go to CM6, but losing the camera means too much to me right now (work related, sadly).
I tried out CM6 (Koush_Test) last night. The one interesting thing I noticed, was the battery was draining like crazy. The battery stat said the display was utilizing 75%.
I went back, due to not having the Camera... When you have kids, I need to be ready.. It was fun to mess with.
I am on Jager 1.8ota and stock kernel and I love it I was on his 1.8 with the hydra 1.13 kernel which is really great too!
Stock 2.1! I have overclocked/hacked every electronic device in my house that could possibly have it done except for my phone. I want to wait for the official Froyo OTA update then have a go at it (in the meantime I will just have to settle with jtagging my Xbox 360 and setting it up to run games off an external HD =).
Been using 1.2 yasr and have been really happy. I think i just like launcher pro though. Love to do cm6 but the camera is an issue for me as well. Official froyo will be welcomed.

It's good. Basically rooting your phone, removing the junk (sense included), leaving exchange support and adding launcher pro.

It's way better it's like stock ROM but without sense and a lot faster and it has great batterylife!! i'm actually using it and it proved that it's the best out there, with an undervolt and overclock hydra kernel you don't need anything else, would love to use skyrider 1.9 but i'm waiting for the camera, i already tried jagger, CM and basically everyone on incredibleroms dot com and believe YASR is way better if you need link just search here in the forum yasr 1.1! =) cheers

The dev for this rom doesn't post here, I wish he would... This has been a great rom for me, and I have tried about every rom out atleast once with the exception of chevy. All phones not created equal, this has been smooth straight out the door. For anyone looking for a new rom, id highly suggest giving this one a try. I am in NO way affiliated with this rom, but I enjoy this forum above the others and think others here will enjoy this rom also! BTW, this is a themed rom.

Can this rom be ported to mytouch4g ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Best rom i've used so far if u want speed,reliability, and color. This rom is very stable for me at 1.45. It gets warm but only under heavy use like movies gaming etc. I score a 2500 on benchmark with low voltage @ 1.2 and runs best at that setting for me with the longest battery life usually around a full day with heavy use and consistent music playing.

Question, Have you run into any problems with Apps, like Adobe Flash 10.1. I'm using Droid Eris after rooting but ordered new Droid X as replacement. So far, Eris runs much better, but I want to find a stable rom to install on my DX. I want to start rooting my DX but didn't want to brick the phone.
Thanks

DarkSide is Ultimate!!
Hey gang, some of you know me from starting out here in the HTC Windows Mobile arena. Since moving to Droid, I was worried about you folks at first, but now I see that you are in very good hands. Your Droid membership and development seems to be moving along nicely. The gentleman who initiated this thread is quite right...this is an awesome ROM and I would welcome others to give it a shot - you will not be disappointed. For the record, I'm guilty, I have definitely gone to the Dark Side.
This ROM is definitely underrated. I tried it as an almost last choice. I can't believe that there is not more buzz over this one. It is the best of the bunch that I tried. IMO anyway.

Wondering if anyone has a solid gingerbread rom out there they could recommend to me for install? Hopefully something that doesn't kill my battery too fast.. I have a vibrant and would be willing to test it out even. Let me know...thanks!

Cm7
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
None of the Gingerbread ROM's are stable yet. They still have a lot of bugs and battery life isn't where it should be.
I downloaded Atriarc last night and it seems pretty darn stable to me. I was running the Overstock kernel without issue until this morning when my flashing addiction flared up and I decided to try the Tiger Blood kernel. That ran fine for about an hour and then started soft rebooting constantly. I just flashed back to Atriarc and all is well. I have to say I've had exchange issues with email up until this rom, none now.
Atriarc isn't a gingerbread rom.
I just installed Whitehawkx's Gingerbread beta 3. So far it seems like I can use it as a daily driver. Some small issues, of course, but overall good.
White's is better than CM7 for now, better battery life and overall more stable.
Trigger, Atriarc, SweetHoney are my favs besides CM7
CM7 is amazing if you know how to customize it.
I get 14+ hours of battery life on it, not too bad, considering I get home before that and could just charge it.
It's very snappy and oh, no touchwiz, ftmfw.
Sure, GPS doesn't work, but who cares? Mapquest that ****.
Data seems to work fine.
I dun know, but for me, it's a great ROM and it's worth it.

I agree.
I'm running cm7 nightly from the 12th and after messing with it i'm pretty content. I know everyone's opinion of smooth is hugely subjective but please believe me when I say that I have mine running as smooth as the seemingly accelerated Touchwiz roms. I'm one for smooth transitions and scrolling and this so far is keeping me content.

i had the exact opposite experience. i ran cm7 for like 3 weeks with little to no problems (besides no gps and no external sd), the double rainbow lasted on my phone for less than a day due to problems with it.

Eugene's Gingerbread clone R2 final
Hi, I'm on CM7 and it's great. It's very snapy and the web brouser is the fastest of any rom I have tested. I don't see why people say the GPS does not work. It's never worked as well as it's working now. The lock on the GPS is very fast and very good. The compas works aswell but it does not point to north. There are a fiew games that FC on CM7 but most of them do work well. I would say that it is now very close to being a daily use rom and I'm running it on an I9000m with 850mh radio working perfectly. I just added flash 10.2 and it works very fast aswell.

you need boot manager.. paid app from market
Ok cool, I'll probably give it a miss if I have to pay for it though life ain't cheap for me at the moment
Don't know about you guys but I'm tired of sense. After not using it the only thing I miss is beats and the camera app.
Uses so much battery to produce a wishy washy oh look at me effects, are they really needed?.... No. Cyanogenmod ftw!

I dont really agree with you..
I was using Virtuous ROM. It was pretty cool, but when i flash a new virtuous rom without wiping, my DHD sometimes restarts. So i don't know if it was because od no wipe, or in the rom, i flashed runny 1.4, and i am happy with it.
I love Sense, hate iPhone, so i hate something like MIUI or whatever
It only takes a few more minutes to wipe and it's gonna lessen your chances of problems so i'm not sure why you don't. I'm sure you needed to wipe when you flashed runny too so I guess that was what the problem was. Anyway I hear nothing but good things about it so all the best

Thats the cool thing about android you have the choices!
I'm currently on MIUI and really love the theming possibilities (want another launcher effect? just hit 2 buttons and switch from 2d iphone style to 3d sense 3 style ), the fully working bluetooth drivers and the music app is just perfect. And it was worth it just for putting on the iphone4 theme and showing it to my applefanboy buddy. muhaha the look on his face - prizeless.
But i'm missing some sense stuff as well. Especially the camera and the mail/weather app. You have to make compromises or look for replacements with some apps. I think ill stick with MIUI until HTC releases an official Sense 3.x version for our DHD

There is no way your are getting 3 days battery life with moderate to high usage. It's a fact sense is a battery hog there is no denying it.

@infexis You say you have miui dual booting on RCMix3D? How? When I do it, it boots from sense (phone ROM) to miui (sd) fine, but when I try to boot back into sense it bootloops. Miui is ext2

Asked this before, but may have gotten lost in the shuffle, so thought I'd try again...
So I've been looking at the Sense 3.5 ROMs, and was hoping to get some opinions on the pros and cons of each... my friend just flashed Energy and seems to like it, but I was kinda looking at the new Warm or the three versions by "Root" on themikmik forums... Anyone tried all three? What makes each of these different?
I tried Warm TwoPointThree did not like it too much mainly cause the battery life sucked for me. The rom itself was nice i liked it aside from the battery. But i went back to energy 3.5 get really good battery life running the Anthrax kernel.
But just experiment with the rom's and figure out what one runs best for your handset. What runs good for me might not run good for you.
I also went with Energy after trying Warm. For some reason Warm just would not work well with my phone. It was very buggy no matter how I tried to fix it. I believe this was an isolated incident though. I like Energy because I get tons of battery life and it just works well.

Ive tried 2 varieties of roots roms they are pretty smooth but i experienced some freeze ups. The best 3.5 rom in my experience is energy. Extremely smooth and no funny business @ all. Lol, i also paired it with the supersonic anthrax kernal, so it really is perfection for me...hope i helped...

Thanks for the replies. What is Radience? I don't think I've seen that one in the development section.
I find most of the good sense 3 roms to be very similar. I think radiance is probably the most developed and best performing. Those blaze devs have been spending a boatload of time on sense 3.5 since very early on. Vins final release and warm are also very good.

JohnTheMan you should take a look at evo-4g-db.com as this gives you a qui of all the ROM's that are available for the EVO 4G and a link to the forums so that you can read for yourself what the developers and testers are saying as to what works and does not. I would post the link but still a NOOB on this site.

I have tried Radiance, Energy and Warm. Energy And Radiance both work well on my phone but for some reason Warm 3.5 bugs out on my phone. The battery life on Warm is horrible. I might give it another shot when i get some more free time.

I'm surprised you answered Warm 3.5 evo4gnoob since I've been following all of your recent development and support for the Energy 3.5 which I think is FANTASTIC!! I love the look, feel, and stability of it so my vote goes for Energy!!

Noob, maybe I have to go back and run warm for a while longer.
Just curious here, what does warm have that say radiance or energy doesn't that makes u say its more complete? Just wondering. Thanks.
In my opinion energy at this point. It's smooth, fast and looks nice. I am running the Anthrax kernal and I get great battery life and no problems what so ever. Like the developer NRG says, "It just works".
i didnt like warm because of the feel and battery life energy is awesome on battery life but mms doesnt work. boost mobile
