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

I just got a droidX and would like to know which ROM is the best
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
There is really no rom that is better than another, it's all your personal preference.
I prefer MIUI for the Customization options. You can choose from CyanogenMod 7, CyanogenMod 9, MIUI, Liberty, Vortex.
There are tons of options. I would recommend atleast trying MIUI and Vortex, as they're my two favorites.

Where can I get these roms? Xda? Or rootzwiki?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
How about sticking with the good old stock ROM?
Advantages:
Largest user base, and by a very large margin.
No work needed to install it.
Automatic OTA updates by Verizon, even while you sleep.
Full technical support crew at Verizon store or via website; no need to hide your phone from them or play games like SBF before bringing your phone to them.
Most app developers test their apps against this ROM.
If something is really wrong with this ROM, very many people will complain.
Camera, video, HDMI output, Netflix, etc. all work fine.
There definitely are much worse ROMs out there that can cause excessive battery drain, cripple hardware features, cause certain apps to fail, etc.

Don't use Liquid Smooth
CM7 is my personal preference. However, I would advise that you stay away from Liquid Smooth if you are using ClockWork Recovery Mod. I installed Liquid Smooth and attempted to get into recovery, but got into an infinite Motorola Logo. I had to SBF to get out of it.
Go miui 2012.2.1 to try for a first rom and if you like it you will probably never change roms
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
If you are feeling ICS go for Gummy over on rootzwiki.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21310-droidxbeta/
Been running as my daily since it came out. Definitely a great rom with very active dev base.

It is beta so couple things but it is definitely daily driver material. IIRC the only remaining issues are BT audio in calls, some hiccups in h/w acceleration, flash, and camcorder/panorama modes of the camera. The dev support is strong for this rom so it's only a matter of time b4 it's 100%. It's also your best bet to have ASOP ICS on your phone.
I'm sure if this question has been asked previously but I can't seem to find it anywhere so here goes...
Which ICS rom would you say is the most stable? I would like to put an ICS rom on sister's phone. Or should she just go with another rom all together??
Please don't flame me for this question, I'm still a noob at this stuff
Thanks for any advice/recommendations.
There is no 'best' ROM..all on personal preferance. If you never use bluetooth, then one ROM might be more 'stable' than the other. If you do use bluetooth, then the other ROM might be more 'stable'. All on what your sister needs her phone to do. If it's just texting, calling, and facebook, any ICS ROM will do. Press thanks if I helped

She use her bluetooth all the time plus she plays alot of games too. Which would be the best for her? I was reading somewhere that there was a problem with low mic, I think I can't remember where I read that.

Depends on what she likes in a ROM as I said before. Many ROMs support bluetooth. For instance, unofficial CM9 here has bluetooth, but so does zips ROM here. I'd go with zips personally.

@g33kchic
I agree with invasion2 I have only tryed two of them but you should really do allot of reading on the different ones and make sure of things as far as how often the rom is updated. These roms are supper new so they have some strange non stock things that pop up from time to time I don't like to say bugs because most of these guys/gals do this as a hobbies and well things happen. So unless your ready to constantly be helping her with her phone you might think about doing to yours first. Just a FYI wish you well.

Which would you recommend putting on her phone? She likes the way ICS looks that's why I was looking for a stable one for her. Looking for stability for her as well everything functioning camera, bt, games etc.
Euroskank cm 7.1 has some ics looks to it. Top it off with either go locker or widget locker for lock screen replacement.
Edit: download from rom manager would be the fastest way to find it.

I'd recommend TDJ's CM7 kang, and to get the ICS look, download an ICS CM7 theme, GO Launcher EX, and an ICS theme for GO Launcher EX. Set the lockscreen to Ring unlock in CM settings, and pick the Holo ring style. It's a really ICS heavy look while still retaining all the functionality and stability of GB.

I don't think the free version allow you to see the roms? I tried and it said I have to have the premium version.

I'd go with zips ROM, haven't run into any force-closes at all. Plus the aroma installer is great to have her there to see what apps you want pre-installed such as Angry Birds Space and other random goodies. It's extremely smooth and there's no low-mic issue. Just flash the camera patch that's in the OP of the zips thread ICS ROM after installing to fix the green line on the camera.

Your recommendation doesn't make sense for someone not familiar with flashing roms or rooting.
Do yourself a favor and stick with gingerbread cm7 or sense 3.0.

Hey eq I tried this rom for sister yesterday it starting acting weird where it kept showing the boot animation screen and my sister was kinda upset because she lost some important text she needed.
what I wanted to ask you before I wiped it I did a backup to see if we could maybe go back to retrieve her text messages but tried that but still no go with that.
Do you recommend any other stable rom that would be good for her?
Also do you know if text messages can be retrieved from a backup in cwm?
I know this is a lot but any help or direction would be greatly appreciated

What you should have done before even booting into recovery, for future reference, is made a backup of everything with Titanium Backup. Then you could have restored your messages to any ROM you wanted.

I have found the unofficial build of the ICS rom to be the most stable soo far. Everything seems to be functional and I havent had any issues with it. My phone literally is like 5 times faster than when i first got it. My battery likfe has tripled adter installing the shots of awesomeness kernel.
Man this thing is dope. I dont know if youre at all interested in what I have to say but if you are, please check out the link in the bottom, because these guys who made this deserve some credit for their hard work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562316&highlight=unofficial
Give it a try, you wont be disappointed. Just maek sure to root your phone and everything before actually installing the rom, but im sure you already know this so theres no need for me to be telling it to you.
But yeah, everything is functional on this rom, you wont be disappointed... trust me
I'm bored of my Rom once again, but I must say I'm gunna miss it nitrous gave me great speed and incredible battery life, any one know a Rom that'll give me that same thing? I just want a phone that knows how to conserve battery when needed and use it when it needs and is fast, I haven't had a aosp Rom in a long time, so any suggestions?

Dark light v.3.5 This rom just sips the battery and its ics based so its something different. I find it extremely stable not having any reboots or lag.

Dude, give boot manager a try. you can load up to five ROMs so you never get bored. Definitely worth a couple bucks
to answer your question though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312414
is very reliable and fast, but sense.
for AOSP, try this. it rules!!!! \m/

You should look into the ICS 4.04 ROM by jmztaylor. You can search for his thread here on XDA. The ROM is lightning fast, very stable, and only has a few things that don't work (mainly camcorder and FFC).

But anyways, it was a piece of ****, all stock of course, she doesn't want me hacking her phone lol. I figured maybe it was just her phone and called tmobile and eventually ended up getting a replacement.. well turns out this is just as big of a piece of ****, hardware wise the phone should run very nicely, would rooting and installing a custom fix most of her issues (which are too long to list atm) and if so, what is the recommended rom? I do know she would like to stay with a GB rom, any advice would be appreciated.

If she doesn't want a big change, but wants her phone to run smooth without all the sense crap my advice would be to root it and flash the insert coin glacier. Its very stable and doesn't have all the sense crap

Well, if she does have an HTC myTouch 4G, there are several choices.
One is a the stock rooted ROM w/ any one of several custom kernels.
Another is Android Revolution HD. There are two versions in the dev section, both of which are in the same thread and are great.
Energy ROM is also good, but she may not care for the look.
Also, there is InsertCoin v1.7.1. I'm running that one now and really like it.
Edit: Bas3balman and I are shamelessly promoting the port our team released. Haha.
