[POLL] What ROM do you use?

What ROM do you use, and why do you use it? What other MODs have you applied to it? For the poll I just chose the ROMs that seem most popular. I'm sorry if the one you used isn't listed, just post it here anyway.
For those that flash a number of ROMs, like me, just choose the one you use most, or the one you "fall back on" when you're done testing other ROMs
And yes, I'm aware of this one, but it's a bit outdated with the ROMs.

Other ROMs commonly used that I didn't list
I'll update this if there are a number of users that use ROMs that I haven't listed (There will be, lol)
List thus far:
SuperFroyo/SuperBler (I still just count these as CM, but hey) - No users in this thread yet, but it's apparently popular
MoDaCo custom release - 1 ex-user so far
Plain ol' rooted stock - 1 user

What about the all famous superFroyo (now called Superbler If I'm not mistaken)
Not that I've every used it but there's much attention for it.
I dno what to vote for yet
I've always used CM but I now I use blayo's to test the data2ext (which isn't really great, yet)
I might go back to CM when CM7 has the fixes for GPS and 3D. But I would love to have flash on CM hopefully someday,...

We'll cross the SuperFroYo bridge when we get to it Anyway, it's basically CM.

I started with Modaco MCR r4, but now changed to B 0.2
It's Sense-based and already has most of the changes I made to the MCR rom (update Gapps, facebook, move busybox in /system, circular battery...). Only thing added is DrRomca's "amibios" bootanimation from Modaco forums

I use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870662
It is a rooted stock rom. I can't complain about it.

BlaY0's B.02
I tried every single ROM in this section, except variations of rooted stock ROMs and this is the first that really feels a good bit faster then others (data2ext enabled).
Other then that CM is very nice of course. Used pretty much every version from Indigo Beam to the latest nightlies until 2.2 got released.

I use CyanogenMod since Azure. Now I have 6.1 and I'm waiting for a fully functional CM 7 experimental build.
I haven't tried other roms, but I follow the updates on the forum. The main reason is that I don't think that roms based on the stock one will be upgraded to Gingerbread, therefore I don't want to change rom knowing that I will be forced to return back to CM.

Big fan of CM but I use BlaY0's now. Waiting for CM7.

CM all the way. Haven't tried BlaY0's rom but seems to be getting positive feedback from users. Won't flash it though, waiting for CM7. Sorry Blay0.
CircleMOD battery with themed notification icons, BiosAnimation bootscreen, remove some system apps. Well thats about it.

Right now I'm using CM 7, because.. well it's Gingerbread Went from BlaYo's B 0.1, and it's pretty good. Actually made me like Sense again.

using CM6.1 atm (couple of days)
but as i am reading more and more, everyone saying that Blay0's b0.7 is showing better performance than cm, but cant say till i try
i am kind a new in android word, i will use cm for a while till i get the guts to install new rom without messing something up
cheers
EDIT: from 26.02.2011 blay0's rom and it rocks

CM from the very beginning (love the tons of features/settings added)...use now CM7 (usually flashing nighties as they came out), snakehult 130DPI LCD screen density, data2ext2 (thanks TGM), CWM3 (not S-Off unfortunately) , Honeybread theme

Have tried many, now on CM7 and B0X time to time.
I need better sd ...

Standard stock rooted rom, but I'm about to test CM7-RC2.

Tried CM6.1 and it has horrid for me, so I switched to blay0's 0.7 ROM and never looked back.
I'll look into CM7 when it's pushed as a stable release. I'm not one for nightly testing.

cyanogenmod7 #8 here

First real custom ROM was CM6.1.
Then got a little bored and tried Blay0 B0.X for awhile.
Now on the first release of CM7.0 and seems stable enough for me!
Only issues I've spotted so far on CM7.0 are the Menu button/Optical pad wake, all else seems sweet

Cm7, I'm loving it

Why do you call me TGM? TheGrammarMan? Or a consistent typo?

new migrant from the epic forums here

i am completely unused to having so many options of what to flash, it's a little overwhelming. can anyone point me in the right direction to show me what all i've been missing out on?

There's many roms and kernels in the dev section welcome to the evo forums but my favorite is cm7
evo on cm7

sense - koni elite or calkulins or myns
2.3 - cm7 or Salvage mod. MIUI is cool for a while too
Ports are more difficult, but viruses sense 3.0 is fun

my faves are in my sig, and MIUI is a fun one to play with, but no 4G. There are some nifty Sense2 ROMs, like avalaunchV3, and can be awesome, depending on which screen HW you have. it's based on a beta leak, and the drivers for certain screen types are not present yet.
ALSO! in another day, HTC will be releasing a new gingerbread update, which will be making for some AWESOME ROMs in the coming week. keep your eyes peeled.

awesome! thanks for the replies folks. currently running evodeck 1.2t and loving it.
my epic never saw true aosp before, so as far as kernels. . . is it cool to flash whatever aosp kernel on whatever aosp rom? any wiping to be done when flashing kernels?

Wipe cache and dalvik before flashing kernels. What recovery are you using? I would suggest AmonRa, due to scripting issues. Make sure the kernels are Gingerbread-compatible. I would suggest Tiamat w/ SBC. I made a poll, and it is the winner.

yes i'm on amon-ra, was good to see it again i missed it from my g1.
thanks for the suggestion!

definitely tiamat. Try MIUI for a totally new experience as well.

Try Decks or Myn's rom.

[Q] cm7 mods on ics rom?

Wondering if there is any way, or any ROM that has all the CM7 Modifications on an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM. I like ICS, but I love all the CyanogenMod 7 Settings. I tried out MeDroid CM9 but it didn't have many tweaks and mods.
Is there any way to implement this on TexasICS for some other ROM?

texasice is not doing cm7 mods, his thread states that
medroid is the leader on ics/cm7. when they are available he will implement them

Ok will cm9 have the same mods as cm7?

sorry, i meant cm9 not cm7
has far as which ones, Cyanogen will determine that
now, on medroid there is only auto backlight and some notification widget options. which you already know, since I misread your first post
i don't know that the n1 is getting much love from Cyanogen, with newer phones continuing to come out. it's only what the devs can port

hey quick question on roms and which ones have been proven and are current..sorry

hey guys, and sorry for a question i know must have been asked before, but i am unable to find.
What roms are the best and most up to date as of now?
i was going to go with cm7 but saw we had cm9 and a few others out there, my real question is, anything better then cm7 out there?
this will be used for my wife, who just wants it to work, as little freezes and hang ups as possible, feature set means nothing next to speed and reliability.
this is my last attempt to make this phone usable for her before i take my 12 gauge to it. please please help! i have to her hear whine everyday with the 2.6.1(think that's it) kernel on there (hasn't been updated in over a year, so anything should be an improvement, it's just hard to get the phone off her long enough to toy with it)

In that case I would use either Superclean 3 or Geewiz
Both are stock EH03 based Touchwiz ROMS. Neither has bleeding edge features but they both just work and are the most up to date ROMs that come from the Samsung/Verizon base. Personally, I have found these ROMS to be the best on battery longevity.

cool, i already d/l'd the geewhiz but it's not taking like the other rom's i'm used to, flashed stock rom E3 and booted in to recovery and tried to update with gwiz through recovery, signature error of some sort, will try again with the other one you mentioned ..... or do i need to load the kernel using odin then flash rom through recovery?

I would also recomend giving Team Hacksung ICS build 6.5 w/ Icy Glitch v14 b4 kernel a try! No doubt superclean and geewiz are great roms, but I think you will like ICS 4.0.3 the best...just sayin.

i thought i saw that as a beta build, been around long enough to be proven?
[KERNEL][CM9][1/29/12] Icy Glitch V14 - BETA - LiveOC - Voodoo - DIDLE - USBhost

gotta bail from work will be back on with the tablet in about an hour.

ICS still has some issues and while it's good enough for 99% of people if this is for pure stability for a nontechnical user I'd say to go for the ROMs I mentioned earlier. Some issues on ICS are MMS doesn't work with wifi on, the datadata issue, the ui is a bit different from Touchwiz ROMs, phantom ring still occurs, CWM and nandroids still have some issues, and it's on a pretty rapid release cycle which would mean that you would need to update her phone fairly often.
ICS is great and it's what I'm running but I think the more mature EH03 ROMS are appropriate in this case.
EDIT:
The link you have goes to Glitch which is a kernel. That is part of the operating system but isn't the entire ICS OS. ICS ROM development is centered over at the rootzwiki developer forum. AOKP, Gummy, and teamhacksung's build are the premier builds.

Yeah, i figured if the kernel was in beta the rom would be as well, got her on super clean and she likes it , still can't tell the difference between that and a 2.6.1 build that was beta around a year ago,lol, thanks for the help and ics is sick , but bob nailed it in regards to my intentions.
That said , thanks to the both of you for bothering with this b.s. question in the first place , i was at work trying to sort her phone out , she needs her phone , life is chaos and time is short, thanks for making it all a little more easy. Also great to see such great support still going on for this, envious with my charge in regards to roms.
Hope i don't need to post here again for a while if you get what I'm saying, haha !! Thanks a ton !

Is it worth to flash CM9/10 based ROMs on our X8?

Hi, my question is if it worth flash CM9/10 based roms on our lowend device. If it is smooth and bugless as CM7 ROMs. I tried CM9 long time ego but it was horrible so I'm asking now.
Thanks

If your concern is stability, CM is much more stable than when it sounds like you last tried it. Some nightlies might be better than others, but I personally would not hesitate to daily-drive CM10 at this point.

I've been using CM10 nighlies since nAa released the .32 kernel.
Now at version 4 of this kernel my system is way faster than even FroyoPro..
Here's a couple of screenies to show you.

Odp: Is it worth to flash CM9/10 based ROMs on our X8?
Worthy or not worthy. It's the matter of personal taste.
