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.
Edit: Saw your request for links below.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2269/update-cm-7-20120603-NIGHTLY-glacier-signed.zip
There you go. That was released 6-3, so it's pretty new

Sorry about the above rage. I've had a VERY bad day...I'd recommend MIUI

I know what you mean but I'm strapped for time and have no PC atm and search sucks on the app. If you don't like my post then just don't help or reply. I appreciate anyone who does though. If you look at my # of posts and thanks you'll see I'm not new to this and I was only asking for personal opinion .
Thanks for your reply though. I use to be like you and get mad but then realized that sometimes people just don't have the time to search.

Dude, TDJ put out some great MIUI ROMs, but that was a LONG time ago. Lanternslight and cnote have put out some great MIUI's since then.

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.

Ultimate Droid Rom?

NP, I was actually trying to figure that out when you posted this. I got nothing. Makes no sense. I'm trying to see if maybe this blackdroid guy was banned or something. That doesn't make sense either being that the links are still there, just the threads closed.
UD Roms aren't allowed on xda, they have been known for including warez in all of their roms.
This particular rom, looks to be CM7, with some changed xml strings that make it say UD instead of CM. Can't verify this yet, but thats what it looks like. So if you want to try it, just get cm7 and find a theme you like.
Oh alright thanks for investigating it for me ur awesome lol u can close this thread if u want.

So this HD2 ROM works on the MT4G? I thought Blackdroid did UD, is this ROM built off of his work? I also thought Blackdroid was on v10, so this all is a little confusing to me.

I know most people don't look at the "About Phone" section on their phones very often (unless they are double checking a kernel or something like that), but if you look at "About Phone" under "Credits" you'll see that this time he did give credit to Cyanogen.
yeah i seen that about 10 minutes ago while looking for info about why this thing doesnt want to boot. was going of what i just read about the whole thing and for some reason was thinking it was recent. sorry

[Q] What ROM is best? and which has no bugs? EVERYTHING WRKS?

what ROM has everythinig working ON THE HTC EVO?? AND which one the most awesome one!? SOME SCREEN SHOTS WOULD BE AWESOME.. if you guuys could help me here! I got bored of just trying out different launchers.. wanna go into different ROMS! THANKS!!
Flash them and try them out. I liked running Myn's Z rom for a while to try out the new Sense (which is suwheet), now I'm running Sprint Lovers which has everything working (as you say), with a few extras. For real though, just try them out, worst you can do is waste some time setting up your phone again. But hey, you said you were bored so that shouldnt be a deturbance.
MIUI is the best ROM around, period. It is the perfect balance of style and substance. 4G does not work but it is a fair trade off. We just got gingerbread but it still has a few kinks to be worked out. I recommend flashing one of the latest Froyo builds.
It all depends on what you want.
Sense
AOSP
Miui

Many of the ROMs listed as threads in the Development section have screenshots of them, as appearance is a huge deciding factor for many of us. Take a look around and you'll see!

I'm running Myn's Warm Z right now (which lacks 4G, but eh, I never use it anyway, 3G is more than adequate) and Sense 2.0 is damn sweet. It's gorgeous, responsive, fluid, and just has minor touches here and there that most people really enjoy.
MIKFROYO is a great rom to try,,
I guess I need to try Mik's now... !
Yea ive heard the mikifroyo or something like that righ? Does everything wrkk on that one? Im just looking for something different.. and if i give it a shot at this ROms it will be my first time.. hope everything goes good and not brick my phone ha

Bricking only really happens from radio updates. Remember to back up stock first! Yeah everything works in mikfroyo

I've tried a few Roms, the latest being CM7 and VaelPak. After 2 weeks with those Roms, I went back to Myn. No GPS or voicemail issues, and everything runs smooth. I think Myn Warm Z is the best looking Rom, but the lack of 4G made it a dealbreaker as my daily driver.
Yea.. ive never even done a nandroid.. haha.. but ill follow some instructions and i should be fine.. hopefully.. with the radio updates.. do i have to have a current one for it to wrk on ROMS o no?

You root your phone once, the Rom it self is not rooted. They usually come with tethering and the hotspot fix.

In the OP for Mik's, there is a link to 2 videos. The 2nd one shows how to do a nandroid, wipe properly and flash the ROM.

Is ICS being developed for mt4g

Just wondering if any of of our developers started cranking away on an ics port for our phone. It seems development has kind of slowed a little on our front and considering the mt4g is still a beast of a phone i would hope so... Thanks!

Actually TDJ and RK have resumed development of that port. Not sure why since Capy is now developing his original ROM for the MT4G.
CM9 will be brought to the MT4G and I highly doubt we'll see any decent ICS ROMs before then.
Yea i saw that. The only thing making that rom perfect is the ffc being upside down, which is an issue in all 3.5 roms ive ran across at least in my experience. But im sure ics will be awesome once it comes, cyan expects it being about 2 months before we see anything cm9 released.

I am working on Sense 3.5 Rom, ICS Rom (built from source), and a CM7-Hybrid Rom. Besides that I am hanging in there. Thanks for the Mod. What are you up to?

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.

[Q] Interested in a Stable Sense 4.0 ICS?

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.
EDIT: This project will be moving to RootzWiki. Feel free to check there for updates. 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.
