best rom to run?

what would be the best rom to run, what is the most stable and would allow me to stay active on my phone at the same thing as giving me great customizations and battery life? also does any of the roms out there all you to set songs for the notification and messaging/email...

I want to say all around cm7(aosp) is the best rom, but not the most stable at the moment. If you like sense roms id say the best is myns warm 2.2. Second best sense rom is koni's elite III imo.
Download "zedge" for custom ringtones and notifications. (Free in market)

It's honestly up to you to find a rom that works for you.
Everyone is going to tell you the name of a different rom.
As fast as sense roms go, I found that Fresh gave me the most stable experience.
Aosp, I found salvageMod to be more stable than cyanogen mod, but cm is much more customizable.
I personally run Myn's Warm Z

After the most recent cm update, I honestly don't know how any rom could be more stable than that. Everything works and 0 forecloses. To each their own though. I did use Fresh for a while and that seemed to be a pretty quick Sense based rom as well. What is best for me may not be for you. Just do like the rest of us and become a flashaholic

Like bjb said, we all have faves, for different reasons, ymmv.
The two Sense based ones that he mentions are in my sig, and also I've found MikFroyo to be very smooth, good batt life, but pretty much stock look.
Going to an AOSP ROM, or a variant like CM7, can be fun, but be Sure to read all the notes and helpful hints in the first posts for each ROM, they all have their "issues". But often they are worth it for the customizations and tweaking options...
Personally, I am a Sense user, but I ran CM-types on my Hero for a long time, and loved them. The Hero needed them though, to get any real function. The Hero choked on Sense.
But (again, my opinion) I've found Sense based ROMs to be the most stable, and fully "working" (your definition may be different than others) on me Evo. Mainly because the Evo has enough power to actually run it...
blah blah blah...

I have been very impressed with CM7 so far..

CM7 one the top on my list for sure..

Does there REALLY need to be 57,000 threads asking what is the best ROM??
Can't people just READ the goddamn forums?

Lol, that wont happen.
I don't know what's wrong with just flashing all the available roms and seeing what works best.

That's the best way...flash all the highly spoken ones...try them for a week, make a note to yourself, then continue on, and stick with what you like.

I have tried a lot of rom,(I am addicted to flashing) and with all these roms. there are some shortfalls. I am on HW 0004 and apart form the screen brightness issue, i find that TMartinPPC_EvoGingerSense_v0.1 is very stable and effective. My screen is not thst bright anyway and the battery is good too.

If you look in the EVO developement section, myns rls5, then mikfroyo 4.6 for sense...then CM 7x and miui for aosp are the most popular. Start with those..

Sup dude, if you want suggestions you should give us an idea of what you're looking for first.
I'm currently using CM7 HyperDroid which suits me cos it's minimalistic, dark and fast. So if you like those things to, I definitely recommend it. Another good thing about this ROM is that you only need a 150mb CWM partition, which is good for us EU owners.
I've only tried one other ROM and that was UltimateDroid. It's another fast ROM (I'm pretty sure it's based off CM7) which has a lot of theme options. It's got a more stock feeling to it, but if you don't like the default green it's got red, blue etc.
I'd also suggest having a look at the MIUI ROMs too, I haven't tried one yet but they have some interesting features.
Hope this helps man.

Thx,
i need a sens rom, and it must be stable. and fast is always good

I've had no luck with Sense ROMs so far. Not fast enough for the added eye candy. Been a long time CM user and finally tried MIUI yesterday morning. OMG! Within two hours I became a diehard MIUI fanboy. Been hammering it ever since and it's blowing me away. More functionality than CM, same level of zippy performance, but much better eye candy. It have yet to find one thing I don't like and it keeps amazing me as I stumble upon new feature after new feature. I don't think I can go back to any other ROM now.

MIUI needs a 120mb CWM so it's low profile like CM. Both good for EU owners. Unlike that damn 400mb for Sense.

One of it's few lacking features... true. Always forget about that since I listen to mp3, podcasts, and internet radio. FM radio pretty much unnecessary here in the states with the other alternatives.

I'm also on miui but I installed launcher pro because I didn't like the iphone like launcher. you should try it. the roms are very smooth and fast. i'm using the ndt one and won't go back unless the gingersense roms are working without bugs.

sure but i think it won't work on gingerbread when none of the roms have included it.
and well, honeycomb has the highest build number but it's for tablets.... just use 2.3.4

+1 to both posts. Don't use the honeycomb version. The one in my sig is solid. No force closes yet and smooth. I run everything at once and no issues.

As mentioned above, hypderdroid cm7 is one i recommend as well, it is very fast. You will need cwm installed thought but its worth it. Here give it a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026

Favorite Rom for Galaxy Tab

By far my favorite Rom for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is Task650's Rom in combination w/pershoots kernels very smooth, and the dev is very quick to respond to any questions or issues! Thanks for all the hard work really looking forward to anything in the future!

+1 man, new to the android world and happy to use his rom!!

starbust bb
Fast stable smooth. There is no going back once u flashed it

is it better than the build that comes with the tablet? (i think you call this stock rom, right? )
What are the advantages to use this build exactly?
Thanks!

this is by far the best thread out here so far! Lol. Thanks guys. I'm glad everyone's liking it. Tomorrow there will be update.

+1 Great rom task650. Thank You!
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

Im waiting for a 3.2 port before I go to a custom ROM

Agreed. Currentlly running this ROM and Pershoots Kernal and its running smoooooooooooooooooooooooooth. Thank You!

I loved his rom too, but I dont like the blue theme introduced in 6.1. Can someone let me know how to go back to v6's theme?

I've been rocking with task650.

Broodcromb KH1 leak + pershots + 99superchargerv6 + browsermod onwz! fast like hell... would be perfect if i find a cool theme =p

One more Task's fan out here. LOL. His roms are soo clean. No bull****

Blazar non-TW + Bonsai kernel, smooth, love the stock Honeycomb UI.

I'm on stock. Is the rom worth the upgrade? I mainly use the web browser? Is the browser faster? Has anyone done any benchmarks?

Task's V5 gets my vote!

Tasks ROM is the perfect choice!

Task 650v6
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk

Task650 ROM is too unreliable. It has the battery drain issue. I ran Task650 for about a week and twice the tablets battery was dead in the morning after still having 60% or more life left the night before. I reverted back to the stock ROM and never had a problem since or before Task650. I wouldnt recommend it.

Hm which version did you use?
I'm about to try it out, but won't if this problem is "common"

Yes, it is a common problem with Task650 and other ROMs here. Stock ROM is the only one which is immune to it. You have to be very careful here. The devs who create ROMs here do not list you the bugs and issues their ROM has, and rest assure every ROM here has issues. They will not list them in the first posts of the threads because there is a sense of competition between the ROMs. They dont want to divulge the bugs, issues, and incompatibilities because it will look bad of their ROM. Its very unfortunate.
Anyway, I wouldnt flash your tab if I were you. Its just not worth it. I dont want to worry about my battery suddenly discharging in just 12 hours even when the unit is in sleep mode. Its a major issue and I recommend reading the huge thread about it. Its a mess.

[POLL]Fastest and most stable ICS rom

Hi all!
I made this thread so it will be clear which ICS rom is the fastest at the moment.
Roms included in poll:
Kwiboo's ICS v3
Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha 12
NexusBeam HD (latest version)
(ICS) Android 4.0 by eugene373
Cyanogenmod 9 Kangs (latest)
NexusMV 2.xx.xx
If you vote for a rom, please use the latest version of it. .. Dont forget to vote peepzz!

I haven't tried eugene's rom, but the Nexus Beam has been the fastest and most stable of the rest. Still, I hear good things about eugene's rom, so maybe I'll try it. But nothing beats GB... Yet..

So far... Eugenes
Kang Kang Kang a Gong get it on.....

Asop v26 for ns4g
Follow the leader @corythug

So far it'd be Beam 2.xxx.xxx, fast stable and smooth as baby's bum!

looks like cm9 kangs are ahead so far.

Honestly, though, how many people are fit to vote? How can you judge which is the most reliable if you haven't tried all of them?
More of a poll of which ROM everyone is on, as opposed to which is the most reliable.
Just a thought...

So as far as the NS4G, I think that CM9 KANGS has smoothest UI experienced the least lag if any but AOSP's rom definitely has faster 3g
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

I've tried all of them except Eugene's. The kangs were the fastest until I tried out Drew Garens beta 2. IMO that is the fastest right now although all of the roms lag in comparison to gingerbread. I am starting to get jealous of the speed of my girlfriends stock Nexus S....
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Kiwiboo v3 is the best for me. Honestly no issues (i.e. Wifi, keyboard, market, calendar apps all work out of the box.)
Whenever I read a kang thread there is someone having issues, NexusBeam HD some aren't able to download apps from the Market etc.
Kiwiboo takes it for having a working ICS port with no hassle.

that was just a statement of observation, since i opened this thread the first time.
but, if you want to go there, how do you judge fastest when every user has their own experience. the same with reliability. we all look for these roms to fullfill our individual needs, and our individual needs all differ. so, i can probably say, these roms are all fast and reliable, or they wouldnt be on this list

I agree CM9 Kangs are definitely the ones to favor and will outright win this poll because:
1. It has CM on it.
People will blindly believe these are the best ones without trying others.
ZOMG CyanogenMod!!! *crackflashes*
2. It's the most frequently updated.
People always believe the latest ROMs will be better than previous ones. (See NexusBeam HD and now Android 4.0 from Eugene.)
New ROM ... need to fill crackflashing addiction ...

I cant decide between nexusbeam hd and latest kang.. i runned both.. but kang is better cuz it has all the apps. Im waiting on nexusbeam 2.2 update.. then i can compare with latest kang

Sorry, I didn't mean to be calling you out, but just talking about the poll in general.
I'm sure all the ROMs are great, just YMMV for any of them!
Personally I'm on CM also - updates are available through ROM Manager and it was stable enough for me.

Latest kang for me. Paired with the latest seuv. Snappy, better battery life

i never thought you were. my first line in that statement is a bit misleading. i see that after rereading what i wrote
also, i have to say, when i flash a rom, i usually take my favorite kernel with me. so, whatever rom im on at the time, is the fastest and most reliable rom for me

This is true, I feel. I was trying different ROMs at first, but I've noticed I've stuck with CM9 kangs, and I'm REALLY sticking to em now since I flashed today's kang + morfic's SEUV 13b ICS kernel. The speed boost I got today was amazing. With the underclock, it's faster than the early roms were when overclocked.
This is, in reality, going to be a poll about how many people use each rom.

Best GB Kernel?

Whats the Best GB Kernel for running stock?

Probably the last one from here, released in March....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26936028&postcount=4
Most of us are on ICS... smoother and better battery life. The Kernals have the emmc brick/bug removed, or you can fully wipe on Abyss 4.2 anyway. Why GB?

Its not lagging its just acting up, Does the same thing on the AT&T one as well.

Having owned of both the 7000 and 717... Franco-rom is my pick..... my basic recommendation is if you need stability and dependability stay on GB..... If you are ok with some bugs then ICS is fun but still there are bugs.... in 2 weeks (by 7-12) all the ICS roms will have all the code necessary resolve all the issues everyone is griping about. Tmobile will release their version and it is coming out with ICS, so it stands to reason if one phone has ICS then all the others will access to the issues that are plaguing our leaked ROMs/kernels.
Best Kernel imho is still the Franco..... he is responsive to resolving issues and he has done way more work on the kernel almost anyone one else.
To the others in the thread. Play nice... be respectful... we are here to help each other........ oka1 (moderator)

Best Kernel>Franco and Speed mod(Choose yours)
As far as kernel goes I have been testing a lot of them lately and found out that if you want good scrolling and performance on stock GB you can get speedmod as it provides 804MB RAM for your system and it has no scrolling issues if you are using TOUCHWIZ, but you won't get features like custom boot animation, for that you can choose franco kernel v10 and it works great with franco kernel application.
