[Q] What is your favorite/best ROM of all time ? - EVO 4G General

I wanna know what other people's thoughts are. Me and a friend of mine had been going back n forth on good roms and I wanted to see what xda felt.
Plus I need to get my 10 posts again -_-

Personally team nocturnals shooter sense ed3 3.0 ROM. It's pretty flawless besides camera effects is still broken.. besides that its smooth and nice. Another favorite is team swags SOS X odex. The look is changing around currently but its stable and fast and smooth. Then primOG (forgot its name) has high potential.. its android 4.0.3 and sense 4.0 and actually looks like the real sense 4.0 but its very New in starting stages. Barely anything works

I tried Cm7 CM9 ,MIUI android or us, DECK PB22. the best is CM7. ICS 4.0 best is Deck Pb22 or later.
send from HTC EVO 4

The best Froyo was Koni's Elite Series. The Best Froyo/CM ROm for me was Destroyer.
Gingerbread and ICS are MIUI, since I have no 4G in my area although, I'll give MikG Honorable mention ans his GB 2.1/3.0 ROM was pretty flawless

I like tommytomato roms! he makes some good stuff

I like 4 Kornerz and AlterRom. They were both very stable and fast.

Fastest 2.3 rom?

Which is the fastest 2.3 rom? I use setcpu to overclock on every rom. Tell me your opinion
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA Premium App
Its all down to personal choice really
So far I like Elellinux's Roms and Feeyo's they both are the best so far for me....
I tried the elelinux rom but i had so much freezes especially when someone calls me. I used overclock again. Can you pm me some 2.3 roms i could flash? thanks
Sent from my Folio 100 using XDA Premium App
www.hrdb.tk - take a look at the roms on my homepage. the latest releases are the best. at the moment feeyo (cronos) and elelinux are working on their roms. so you should choose one of them.
EliLinux had some issues the last release, but the latest release is very stable for me, and is pretty fast.
I current have Elelinux's v2.1 build of CM 7.1 / Android 2.3.4 on my phone, and it is running quite well. I have not tried 2.3 yet. Feeyo's Cronos Ginger 2.2.0 is getting some very positive feedback. I had CG 2.1.0 for a while, but the default kernel just did not play well on my phone, so I had gone back to CG 1.9.5 for a bit.
I tried Elelinux's v2.2 and Cronos 2.2, while Ele's seems to be a little smoother, the battery life isn't good at all. On the other hand, Cronos 2.2's battery life is great, but I missed all the CM7 options...
stantang, i have the same problem as you described ;/ used ele's rom but it sometimes freezes when incall comes... I've flashed almost everything from iPasta's site but don't have my favorite.
Best way for me is to wait for CM7 stable for hero (but how long should we?).
Back to thread, fastest for me was Ele's, but i had problems with GPS so i don't use it any longer.
Hello.
Elelinux's one is great !
Cheers.

Feeyo's Cronos Ginger 2.2.0 working like a charm for me.
I will try out mentioned roms when i have time currently my Folio 100 tablet's Honeycomb port keeps me busy thanks for the answers!

Elelinux FTW
I've tried Cronos, Herolatte (my current daily rom because its pretty) and Elelinux. I would definately have to say that elelinux is the fastest and most stable ROM. Cronos is pretty damn good as well (I love the font on it) and Herolatte has sense albeit it's a little slow at the moment. It all comes down to personal choice but with the number of flashable extras, sheer speed and stability of it, I have constantly found myself coming back to Elelinux.
..And they said Hero would never get to taste the Gingerbread...
EleLinux alll the wayyy baby

Rom recommendations..

I visit about one every two months or so and don't keep up with what roms are available.
What's on the market right now?
Don't mean to sound rude, but why don't you just peak into the development section?
No need to start a whole new thread for your question when its obvious what ROMs are around by just looking over there.

I could and have looked in the the development section but I would rather get some suggestions from the XDA community.
I personally prefer mik's ROMs.
Some are posted here (mikg) but I get them from themikmik.com
I also enjoyed miui, it's a different flavor of ROM. Miui gets updated every Friday, but I found a stable version and stuck with it for weeks.
Of course there are your stock builds and ports, and the classic aosp ROMs.
I'm sure everyone has their favorites.
I've been running mik3d for months. Its sense 3.0. Its pretty awesome.
Good luck in your search.

MIUI nuff said
MIUI. has scrollable Widgets now, best battery life of any rom I have tried and is awesome with V6, 3G and kickasskernelizer tweaks.
Currently using FEARMEde Bliss Hybrid sense3.5... it still has its quirks but love the look and feel. MIUI is great too... if you like the iPhone usability and feel MIUI is the way to go. My son loves it!
Depends what you want...
I love Deck for AOSP. built on CM7 with all the extras removed. Very minimalist and with savage zen's BFS kernel sickly battery life. I personally got my Evo to about 36 hours on medium use.
For sense there's a few ways to go. I personally have found that the sense 3.x ROMs are very sluggish irrelevant of the setup (God mode and whatnot). If you want a semi-sense 3.x feel though you could try Salvage-mod-sense RC1 which is built on Barnacles speedy port of sense 2.1. The dev added in the 3.0 lock screen, and camera app but for the most part its stock 2.1. It's stable and just as fast as the ROMs built off of the OTA Gingerbread updates for the Evo.
There's also the last mentioned ROMs based of the OTA update. I personally loved Swagged out stock, and Smooth and sexy Gingerbread.
A lot of people will say stay away from sense for the battery life alone, but I've noticed with the Freedom agressive kernel or Chop Suey 9.1 SBC I get battery life that's on par with CM7. Not as good as Savage zen, but a good 12-20 hours depending on usage.
Hope this helps.
I've had the best luck with MikG for sense roms, and I've tried them all lately. It also gets updated frequently.
MIUI is great, but I have found it to be annoyingly buggy. I would go with the previous commenters route and stick with one version that works instead of going for the weekly updates (unless they add 4G!).
Another ASOP option is the Nocturnal Xplod rom thats in the earlier stages of development, but still runs really well with some nice animations. If it's been a couple months and you want something different I would try this.
Try this one!

Tbh I Prefer Cyanogenmod 7.1 and Synergy they are fast and are pretty stable with working 4G.
I love all of swag's roms (SOS X 2.09 currently). Another good sense rom is Nitrousv1.4.4.
My favorite AOSP is deck's GB. Love the battery life and stability, never have had any issues.

The mikg roms are solid.

[Q] What's your daily driver?

Relatively new to the G2, and I'm looking for a daily driver without having to experiment with 10 roms that all have one deal-breaking bug.
I like sense, which is good because it looks like pretty much all of the recent roms are sense or miui. I really wanted to have a sense 3.0/3.5 with 3d widgets, but it doesn't look like there are any stable, fast roms in this department.
So what's your go-to rom? I probably will start experimenting with all the newer roms anyway, but I want to get set up with a stable fallback first.
Thanks
As far as an AOSP ROM goes, I believe that meXdroidMod is hands down the fastest thing I've ever installed and it also has great developer support too. Here recently I've been all about MIUI so right now I'm running tun4fish's Bulletproof Miui. I'm in love with the speed and stability of this rom and the amount of customization you can do with it.
All in all it all boils down to personal preference. I like flashy, customizable roms so those two fit me. Play around and see what's right for you

I switch between CM7 and Beatmod Blissense. I prefer a more pure android, but I do like the UI and widgets in Beatmod.
Been running Bulletproof MIUI the last couple weeks. Solid daily driver with all the features I need and no issues.
When I get bored, I switch back/forth between CM7 and MIUI.
Been a meXdroidMod convert for awhile now. Really really fast and everythings smooth! Developer support is awesome too!
I started out with trying Virtuous Unity and Virtuous Doubleshot but found the Sense 3.0 ROMs were to slow for my DZ.
Settled for Virtuous Sense for the time being which is perfect for me. Also tried out Bulletproof MIUI just to try something completely different but that was definitely not for me so I returned to Virtuous Sense.

MIUI would be my daily driver. Speedy while still looking absolutely beautiful. Either of the builds by CarpeNoctem or Tuna4fish would serve you well
lots of love for MIUI here
as much as I like it too the OP said he likes Sense, so for me after trying absolutely every ROM with Sense, i like the InsertCoin. It has the battery and speed of your 2.1 Sense ROM but all the cool features of Sense 3.
I'd like to stress on the battery life - it's absolutely fantastic on InsertCoin.

As far as MIUI goes, I prefer Tun4fish's build (Bulletproof MIUI). Its updated weekly with the MIUI.US release, and has a great kernel and memory management tweaks. Super reliable.

It doesn't have any memory problems, common for Sense 3 ROMs?

I agree with this statement 100%. Absolutely the best and my favorite ROM out right now.
I'm currently on CM7 nightlies. CM7 is by far the fastest ROM I've used, and it just gets faster when you overclock it. If I get bored, I'll use tun4fish's Bulletproof MIUI for a change of pace.
My daily driver is IC 2.1+3.0 and its awesome on the Desire Z.

ROM recommendations

Hi all,
Currentely I'm using Leedroid ROM, it's my first custom rom. Becouse of lack of any recent updates I decided to swith to some other rom. I really love Lee's philosophy and tweaks so I'm looking for sense 3.5 rom developed in similar to Lee's way. Two most important things to me is stablility and smoothness.
Which rom would you recommend me?
If you like Sense 3.5 based ROM, I would recommend you Virtuous Affinity (http://www.virtuousrom.com/). This ROM is great, very stable, and battery life just amazing compared to other Sense 3.5 based ROM I tried before this (ER3BUS XL 3.5).
But if you want stock Sense 3.0 feel without any crazy mod in terms of stock graphic and user interface like Lee's ROM, have a great stability, speed, and performance I suggest you to try Android Revolution HD (ARHD).
One thing I didn't like from other custom ROM for DHD beside those two are the other dev is trying so hard to modify the Sense interface, in my opinion it's kind of bad move since it's ruin the whole Sense experience, because not everybody had the same kind of taste as the dev. So, without any hesitation, I suggest you to go for Virtous Affinity or Android Revolution HD. They are the best.
coredroid is also very good, heavily tweaked for performance...plus it has got sense 3.5
And what can you say about Virtuous Affinity in comparison with Runnydroid?

Im using the RunnyDroid v4

Trying Virtuous Affinity, rock solid till now, maybe a bit slower than Leedroid 3.3.3, but it's sense 3.5.
I think that also I would try runnydroid.
best DHD rom
For me RCMix3D v4 i the most stable with sense and CM7.1 no sense.
The best Sense 3.5 ROM I have tried is Mikrunny, which is basically stock looking but has a lot of tweaks available. Performance is very good and battery is pretty good too

Just try out a few for yourself. Roms ate like cars. Some people will swear by Chevy's and other will say they are crap. Try for yourself to see the best one for you!
There are a bunch of good ones here. The devs are all awesome!
I got your 10 char right here

Have tried all sense 3 / 3.5 Roma, never tried coredroid or cygenomod. Best as to be either capys rcmix roms, or memnocs smartdroid which is heavily tweaked/smoothest Rom ever tried.

Hey. I started with leedroid too. Since then have used rcmix 3d v4 and coredroid v9.2. All good roms. I prefer coredroid out of the 3. I am using LC s ics at present. Its still needs a little work but its stable, quick and the battery life is the best of all the rooms I've used.

I know many people love HTC phones for sense, but if you are willing to go out on a bit of a limb, I would HIGHLY suggest Virtuous Quattro, which is still in active development. Nearly everything is working (camera needs a bit of work) and it is wicked fast. Flashed it about a week ago and I will never again meander to Android < 4.0

Don't agree. It's too unstable and it's rightly labelled RC.
There's just too many things aren't working properly.
Just went back to ARHD - the most stable rom I've ever used.
I'm about to try Virtuous_affinity.
The only super stable sense 3.5 rom running as stock as possible as HTC have released it is E3RBUS XL, very good battery life too

[ROM] ER3BUS XL3.5 [GB 2.3.5][Sense 3.5][Runnymede 1.22.461.2][20.01.2012]
OK, so I am not the most experianced modder yet, tried Cyanogen last year and did not try anything since because of it. Then LeeDroid 3.0.3 on a recommendation yesterday, which died when using BT.
Stumbled across [ROM] ER3BUS XL3.5 [GB 2.3.5][Sense 3.5][Runnymede 1.22.461.2][20.01.2012] and awed...
fast and so far everything works as prescribed and expected
I am not sure if I want to look any further.
Only thing I'd like to mention, since the cook JSLEnterprises forgot: the ROM will change the FS to ext4. As far as I can tell, this is NO issue what's however, except it will completely wipe and reformat the internal memory (SD stays untouched) so make sure you have a GOOD backup before you start.
Thanks from me JSLEnterprises, some awesome work!

ER3BUS XL3.5 is currently the greatest gift we have for DHD, the DHD is never the same again with this ROM running on it, you can boost its FPS it to high heavens with ultra smooth rosie and supercharger
What is the difference between virtuous sense 3.5 rom and Erebus XL?
Yours truly.

Which ROMS would you recommend?

Hello all,
no, this is not another "which is a best ROM" topic I know the best ROM is stock
I recently rooted again my DHD and started playing with ROMs. I would like to try some different ROMs - of every "kind", i.e. no need to try all ICS Sense ROMS, since they're all similar (1st ROM i tried was Revolution and I couldn't tell the difference between it and stock)
So, my question is which ROMS should I try that are different - like unique have different feel to them, and pretty stable? I'd like one MIUI, one Sense 4, cyanogen etc? (is that all?)
thanx,
D.

Well my question was (as I stated) NOT which is the best ROM. I just wanted some experienced users to tell me which kinds of ROMs there are, I'm not gonna try all of them. That is what the boards are for, aren't they? To exchange tips and experiences... If you mind, why don't you just skip the post?
NeroXL sense 3.6 ROM by Paschal.
Omnivision sensors working after flashing the fix. And better battery life. Personally like sense 3.6 more than sense 4.

I'm running RandomBlame's JellyBean beta 9 with no problems and I'm loving it currently. Ice Cold Sandwich is my favorite ICS ROM. I didn't find a sense ROM I liked. Revolution was laggy and not my cup of tea. I'm pretty happy with basic android anyway.

1 sense 4 rom. By virtuous
1 sense 4a rom.
All these have a pretty different experience though.I'm not sure if its wrong to create such posts, I just think it would be better/more efficient to just check put the ROM threads yourself. They probably more detailed than the info you can find here anyway
Virtuous Infinity v1.31.0 Alpha2 :laugh::good:

I would recommend
Nero XL (sense 3.6/ICS. Camera works for all sensors, very very stable, but pure stock)
MIUI RD (Or any of the gingerbread ones, I didn't think the ICS one was worth it)
Energy (of all the GB/Sense 3.5 ROMs I stayed with this for 2 weeks, pretty damn long for a flashaholic like me).
Other ROMs I don't use a lot, but I hear good things from/I've used with success but I didn't keep: Runny Xtreme Surprise, ARHD, Ice Cold Sandwich, Redemption, Virtuous Sense 4/ICS, Jellytime.
BTW, check this thread out for a speed test of different ROMs. All creds to Apuabest
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791803
My chioce was : IceColdSandwich, Virtuous Infinity, CyanogenMod 7.2 NIGHTIES (all was ok, best rom, imho, but i like ICS UI style), and JellyTime (some bugs, but battery life is amazing).
There is no sense 3 roms, because I hate HTC Sense 3 UI; I can't help witch choosing sense 3 rom, sorry.
Types of ROMs
This is my list:
1. Existz AOSP IceCreamSandwich for AOSP ROMs
2. Virtuous Infinity v1.31.0 Alpha2 for SENSE 4 ROMs
Existz ROM is bug free (at least for my experience)
The Virtuous ROM is very beautiful (SENSE 4 is fantastic), but for DHD bluetooth audio doesn't work during phone calls.
XGS series by krisjanne, it's very good ROM
