Since I'm a Sense fan, I go with Virtuous Affinity 3.11.0 Alpha 1. It's really smooth, but can be laggy at times. But then remember it's an alpha. But blackwing's ROM has a working camera, so that's a plus 100000. So for me, Virtuous Affinity 3.11.0 Alpha 1 or blackwing's AOKP.
I an downloading the new creamed glacier, will report back

My opinion, they are all buggy and need much improvement before it's a daily driver for me.
Don't get me wrong all of our developers do an AWESOME job, but there is only so much one can do with limited supplies. And until relative phone has ICS on it, we're going to be stuck with buggy ROMs.

Only time I use BT is to transfer files from one phone to another. imo not a deterrent for using this rom when I can just transfer another way. Good to know that it dont work though, I think another ICS one was having BT problems too.

A search would have told you there is no BEST only best for you and XDA doesnt do best rom threads as this is not a Rom site but a Development site, More people need to learn what that means

I was just wondering, whats the fastest rom around?
(Preferably with Sense).
I tried Cyanogen, and a Froyo 2.2 rom, but they all were just sloppy and slow.
I think the fastest in openfire. But everybody has their opinions
hello,
I tried every single Rom Forum identically, and CyanogenMod is really the best!

No -.-''
The fastest is OpenFire -.-''
i think is cm
Openfire is faster as it's just based from AOSP and no addons. Cyanogen is fast but it includes extra features which makes it awesome.
With me Rom of Danne_jo is number One.
The fastest sense rom is SUnAaBh
And yeah, openfire is the fastest overall
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Definately openfire.
The fastest sense rom would be sunabh.
The fastest AOSP rom would be openfire.

sorry to bump quite an old thread but how much faster are sunabh or openfire compared to the original wildfire rom? my girlfriend has one and really wants to see a performance improvement since everyting is quite laggy... are there any benchmark/quadrant tests or something?

They are really much faster.
The stock rom is pretty slow because of HTC Sense.
I really like CyanogenMod 7 nighty builds.. They are fast, look good, nice features so i recommend you go for CyanogenMod.. Or if its just speed that you want without the goodies then go for the others..
Pawnbox is right! I´m using CM7 Build #19 since yesterday and my phone rocks!
It`s very fast an it´s based on 2.3 (Gingerbread). But read the thread carefuly the newest versions still have problems with the phone.apk. The last stable is Build #19.
Have fun

I could do that.. but id like to hear what the general public says before adventuring into the world of sense roms. I'm running virtuous Rom right now. It's okay. Seems little laggy. Should be faster on the g2 then the evo which i have in front of me as we speak. Id like to say the G2 is much faster than the evo.

Are you using the standard or advanced kernel, and if the latter what are you OC'ing your phone to? I'm using the standard kernel, and my phone doesn't seem laggy at all. There are the occasional moments of slowness, but nothing to the point where I would consider it troublesome to me.

Virtuous ROM 1.0.1 with Standard Kernel @ 1GHz for me. No lag what-so-ever and working great! lovin' it
The best Sense ROM is the one that uninstalls itself and loads CM7 or some AOSP variant

HTC said that the Desire family of devices would be getting an official update to v2.3 in June or July.
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.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA Premium App
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.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA Premium App
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!!!

So, I have been reading the threads lately, and I have noticed that the most stable ICS ROM currently out is Zip's Creamed Glacier, however it lacks Sense 4.0.
Also, they have Virtuous Primo, which is not very stable right now.
Would anyone be interested in a hybrid/stable mash-up of the two?
Let me know if there is enough people interested, and I will begin working. Thanks.

I honestly see why not. Would love to see it! You have my vote. By mash-up, do you mean like a Sense 4.0 ROM, most of the bugs flattened, and a working camera (crossing my fingers here!)?

I'd say do it. I myself prefer battery life over flashy looks but if you can develop a ROM with sense on it that has decent battery life it would indefinitely become my dd. My average battery life on creamed glacier is around 15 hours and I'll have around 30-50% battery depending on my usage.

It depends on what you/he wants. They all have their advantages. Personally I like the Dark Unicorn... but ROMs change quickly, so pick one, try it, and if you/he don't like, try another.
The 3rd thread about "Best ROMs". How many times does everyone have to say this: There is no best ROM. It's all based on what your brother uses and needs to be working. He could be a huge bluetooth user, and a ROM could have broken bluetooth. That ROM might be good for someone else, but not your brother. Come on...there are threads about it. And just look in the dev section of what looks best.
I just flashed the latest CM7 nightly. Honestly, its really great. I was all ICS for a long time, and was surprised by how blazing fast and super stable it is.

I get the Keyboard lag issue with CM nightlies, but I don't with BlackIce. That's what I'm currently running. I don't know if they do something to pep it up or if its in my head.
I know you asked for AOSP, but I'd also recommend the StockMOD ROM before they added Beats Audio. You could just run ADW Launcher but you get some of the bonuses of Sense. I know people like to grip about Sense but in my experience after about a week of using both, StockMOD was barely slower and got about an hour less battery life each day. Everything worked though and the Sense camera is much nicer.
