For AOSP based ICS, try aospx and Andromadus Mimicry. For ICS Sense, try Glacier ONE V 1.3. For GB Sense, try Android Revolution HD or Insert Coin. For JB, try Toasted Marshmallow. For GB AOSP, try good ol' Cyanogenmod 7.

I have been looking through many roms and still confused. I'd like to install something with Sense 3.6 or Sense 4.0+ and ICS (since JB isn't stable). What's your suggestion?

I agree 100%. Jelly Bean's okay, it's just that some of the things I want are halfly working. I'm totally grateful of the devs but yeah.
why settle for just one?
heres what i do:
glacier one v 1.3 ( nice, stable, daily driver, no issues ) <-- sense 4 /ics
((primary rom))
then i use boot manager to test out or use secondary roms
atm i have Mytouch UX ( touchwiz 5 ) in my boot manager and i love it
theres also skytouch 4g if you want that ios look and feel but i personally enjoy android UI 's over ios
----------------------------------------
in case you didn't catch that.... at the moment Glacier One V 1.3 is my #1 :laugh:
I have to agree with the others
Glacier ONE V 1.3 for sure!
Been running it for almost two weeks. Rock solid, stable, great speed, LOVE IT!
SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1F
This thread was very helpful to me.
After being on CM7 for a year, I decided to test the waters. I tried Dark JellyBellyG1 and Toasted Marsahmello. Jelly Bean rocks - Android has clearly surpassed IOS in terms of features and functionality!
These ROMS are suitable as daily drivers - if you can live with short battery life, no USB tethering, no front facing camera and 3rd party apps for the video camera and WiFi tethering. Bluetooth streaming works on Dark JellyBellyG1 but not on Toasted Marsahmello,
I am now on SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1F and it's great. Everything seems to work, including T-Mobile WiFi calling. Battery life is excellent too. Only issue I've seen is that Bluetooth streaming sometimes disables volume control on my car stereo. However what has tipped the scales for my decision to stay on ICS is WiFi calling and battery life. I look forward to when JB ROMS are to the point this ICS ROM is today. Until then, I think I'll stay on SyNthetic_aospX.

Or if you want a completely stable GB Sense ROM, and love GB's customizability, check out my very own "myGinger, myWay v2". If you love listening to music, lookout for myGinger v2::BEATSMOD that is coming very soon.

Ok, I am not being a ****, just honestly asking, what does your rom offer over classics like the DARKSIDE sense or royal ginger?
Back to CM7 for me - why? after using asopX for a week, I noticed that my phone would slow to a crawl. I also had a few spontaneous reboots and noticed that the indicated WiFi signal strength and connectivity was very low. Finally, I have a simultaneous dual-band N router, but under the ICS or JB ROMS, only the 2.4G SSID would show.
Anyone have insight into these issues? Possibly a kernel problem? I miss the cool features of JB/ICS...!
As far as MIUI, I also like UNOFFICIAL MIUIandroid v4 2.10.12 androidinsomnia 10-15-12 senese base miui.
There is no best ROM ! Now this thread can be layed to rest .

Hey, ive been looking for an answer to this for a long time on youtube and google, but all ive found is a night version of cyneagon. I want a stable and fast version, not a nightly version that has bugs. Thanks for looking!
Try and benchmark your own...Even with speed you still have personal preference of Sense vs Gingerbread.
I like Sense, and have been using Ice Glacier happily. Doesn't seem "slow" at all; everything is very responsive. Is CM7 or a non-Sense build faster? Maybe, but I don't really know and probably won't find out since I don't want to give up the Sense UI yet.
to kinda second/expound on what Genocaust said... If you want fast and stable, first you need to decide if you want AOSP (Vanilla Android), Sense or Espresso Sense (TMO version of Sense).
AOSP = either eVil D's G2 Port or CM6.1.2 RC2. both very nice and stable but I don't think the G2 port has working FFC (Front Facing Camera)
Espresso Sense = Hands down Ice-Glacier, a nice stripped down and very quick version of stock.
Sense = either eVil D's Desire HD or Desire Z ports or Gr8Gorilla's Desire HD port. all 3 are very stable and quick and have many, many more "stock" HTC apps/widgets than Espresso. (personally I use Gorilla's as my daily driver with tiger13's Gorilla Red Theme).
they are very nice and stable ROMs and if I remember correctly they all come with atleast a mild Over Clock Kernel.
Edit : I forgot about MIUI, it's kinda like a blend of AOSP and iOS. some people really like it but personally it's not for me. if you decide to try out MIUI, eVil D has a really nice stable one.
last few nightlies for CM7 have been pretty damn stable.

I didn't include CM7 in the breakdown I gave him due to the fact I haven't personally used it. but I have heard that it is pretty stable, I just don't know from first hand experience.
If you're looking to have good battery life I would stay away from Sense. I really noticed a difference when I went from Evil 4G's Desire HD rom to CM7. Really makes a big difference.
I personally am a HUGE fan of Cyanogen's ROMS, they are fast. quick and have GREAT battery life. I beat up on my phone all day long and i can last 1 1/2 days on a single charge.
as far as CM7 v. CM6, CM6 is more "official" being that they do have an official channel log and support group for it. But CM7 is extremely stable. I've been using it as my DD for a few weeks now.
Like the OP, I'd like a cleaner, faster ROM but...... I'd like to keep Sense and I HAVE to have WiFi calling! Is there any MyTouch 4G ROM other than stock that will allow me to retain WiFi calling?

I know what ya mean about WiFi calling a must, I live in a valley and have **** signal at the house.
Ice-Glacier, eVil D's Desire HD port (I believe his Desire Z port does also), and Gorilla's Desire HD port. the 2 DHD ports are ALOT smoother and lighter on your memory due to not having TMO's Espresso overlay on top of HTC Sense. personally I use the Gorilla DHD port.
I use exactly what RavenWulf has in his sig; it is quite fantastic, everything is silky smooth and, this being my first Android device, I found the addition of more customization options in the stock sense UI awesome!
My wife runs stock (soon Iced Glacier once I can pry it out of her hands!) and with the same kernel as me (faux123 v0.2.2); no complaints from her end on that.
CM6.1........

Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
I've had great experiences with both cyanogen and I've basically flashed every rom avaliable for the mytouch 4g. Cyanogenmod 7 was by far the fastest for both gaming and productivity but felt a little bit unstable at times. Im now using miui and really like it.
CM7 is working fine for me... well you can always go with CM6
I just did CM7 yesterday, was running stock. CM7 nightlies rock. Couple of minor problems here and there (rebooted twice on me for no apparent reason). But it boots so fast, I don't really care. The benefits outweigh the problems.
I was going to do Iced Glacier, but it looks like development on it has ended as of a few days ago.

how is ur battery life with miui?
MIUI = fast + stable + awesomeness
Currently running CM7 which has the same formula.
so what would be best for someone that doesnt care about sense.........
As the title states looking for opinions on what non-CM Gingerbread ROMs are working best for other users. This also excludes ROMs based on CM. As much as Im not a Sense fan, Im at the point where I dont care if it is Sense or not. Im thinking of switching from CM7 mainly cause the GPS issue has finally gotten to me (ive tried all fixes and have GPS working but its so crappy compared to stock). Enough of that, time to move on. Welcome to opinions on some Gingerbread roms.
well i find the meXdroidMod meXperia remeX really awesome, though its cm nightly based, i think a good non cm would be the ginger-sense by gingervillian
I never was a Sense fan until I came across Virtuous. Best ROM for the G2 in my opinion. I'm always trying other ROMs just to keep up with what's out there, but I keep coming back to Virtuous as my daily driver. Everything just works with it, including GPS.
MIUI hands down. I love how fast and smooth it is, especially with pershoot's latest kernel.
miui for sure...
was gonna suggest ultimate droid. but its cm7 based. sooo.. miui. best rom IMHO

Ultimatedroid definitely kicks ass. I really want to try the miui, but there are like five different ones in rom manager and two or three on the forum, no idea which is most up to date, supported the most, or used by the most people. Is miui supposed to be iphone clone?
Edit: UD is based off cyanogen also but actually feels like a rom all its own and not a CM ripoff.

Some issues with ultimatedroid(for g2) are thus follows:
~Gps is still borked.
~After you select one alternate theme no other one will install, same goes for boot animation though in the case of boot animations once you have selected an alternate you cannot change it.
~Font changes do not work.
~Applications like to uninstall themselves.
UD "seems" snappy but it is entirely due to sped up render effects. I pulled just as fast & faster quadrant scores running CM6.1.1 with pershoots latest kernel.
Speed is in the eye of the beholder people. So far virtually ever rom I've tried that is based on CM7 code has some sort of "gotta pray to machine gods" type element to get GPS going. Virtuous is laggy even with overclocking past 1ghz and if you don't dig SenseUI you're up a creek. The only major rom I have yet to try is MIUI but I really don't dig iphone style integration so I guess I'm just going to be stuck on CM6.1.1 till the official Gingerbread release for the g2 comes out.

I think the gps varies partly on hardware also, because I have never had any of the aforementioned problems on UD (given I never tried to change the font), and gps worked fine. As in accuracy three meters and under and no drifting. Gps works for me on all these roms that people say it is broke on when the OP states the technically it is working correctly. Coming from a vibrant before I have seen how wildly gps hardware quality can vary with a given model, I do believe people when they say it doesn't work for them but there are also people who never expierience these problems.

I was using GingerVillain for months because my GPS wouldn't run on my old radio with CM7. Once i upgraded my radio I used CM7. GingerVillain was great considering it was would before CM7 but did have some issues with randomly restarting.
I don't believe the xboarders rom is CM based. It's just straight up, no bs, stock gingerbread.
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.

Hey Thank's for your input.
Because i like and want sense ui, i've flashed heroine++ ... yes it's fast, but i missed some features from gb roms so i flashed WildHerocV5 and added the V6supercharge script.. and it feels almost the same as heroine speed almost!
It would be nice if there is some GB2.3.7 (CM7.1) rom with sense! I previously have flashed Decked_X, and tried to apply some themes and stuff to get the sense look and i had no luck.

at some point all the roms I tried becomes slower or more sluggish, maybe because of the other reasons, just try to use and keep apps you really need, know whats running in your background and get a phone with 1ghz or more processor to handle picture and web browsers fluently..(kidding) thats a reality, you can tweak, get some light roms, but then you'll loose a lot functions, then you will have to install aditional apps you don't like... then a phone because of those apps becomes sluggy again and even buggy... need to look for updated comfortable rom and go with the idea that hero is a bit of a granny. Try Lewa OS RC2 port for GSM hero.
Been using for more than 24 hours and so far only positive opinion.

Hi
Currently Im on Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 nightly 414 and while OK, the other day it had a HORRIBLE (unbearable) slowdown period. Even multiple restarts didnt help. Finally it seems it fixed itself but Ive looking for something new. I use Go Launcher if that makes any difference. Im into speed but I think Im going to go with stable over speed this time.
What ROM do you recommend? Also nothing broken (automatically discards all CM9 ROMs)
If you are into Sense UI, go for Virtuous ROM, stock ROM tweaked + enhancements. If CM7 works if you are into vanilla ROMs.
I have been using virtuous glite 2.0.1 its stable I had no issues at all and I get great battery life, plus its slightly overclocked. Gslim1.6 is also very good but I had better battery life with glite. Both roms are based on GB 2.3.4. Here is a good rom index thread it lists all G2-Desire Z roms

I have been using virtuous glite 2.0.1 its stable I had no issues at all and I get great battery life, plus its slightly overclocked. Gslim1.6 is also very good but I had better battery life with glite. Both roms are based on GB 2.3.4. Here is a good rom index thread it lists all G2-Desire Z roms

Yes, Im aware of the list but I wanted user feedback.
(Im not talking to any of you or anyone else Dont take this the wrong way at all as it is not a insult to any of you). Its funny: People ***** (a lot) when their ROMs go bad but when they are great, they dont say anything at all.
WOW G-lite is VERY old...
and i like ROMs with features; stripped down versions are not for me
sound like you will be most happy with elitemod, the cm7 based rom although i have been testing out nik3r's ics rom and like it better than most ics roms, i would go with his gingerbread rom. should be all you are looking for and great support from nik3r as well
Are you looking for a gingerbread or ics rom?

Damn I'm still happily running it! If it works great why worry how old it is. It's a testament to how well it works as it sits. anyways I'm waiting for a stable cyanogen 9. Then maybe, frankly I don't want to mess with it too much I want plain Android and I can customize it from there

I don't think you have tried much of the Sense ROMs back then, or maybe you were doing something wrong. I have had quite a few stable and fast sense ROMs. Of course they were not as fast as vanilla ones, but it works, knowing that you are the type who wants more features in ROMs.

What ROM do you recommend? Also nothing broken (automatically discards all CM9 ROMs)

Have you tried a CM9 Rom lately? Don't let the Beta name scare you, I have found the latest andromadus audacity extremely reliable, and everything works. I actually think it has less bugs then my stock htc GB rom.

Same, though I'm still tweaking my SetCPU settings and such, I like EliteMod's ICS rom the most right now particularly in terms of features and responsiveness. I was trying the unofficial CM9beta13 for a couple days and that thing was eating battery like no-body's business. EliteMod seems to be much more tweaked as it's the same setup Nik3r is using for his own personal Desire-Z.
But far as stability goes, I would agree that going with a Ginger rom would be the best bet, ICS right now is still too experimental in my opinion.
I've never tried the CM7 version of EliteMod, only the official CM 7.2.0 which was ok-ish for me. The EliteMod ICS Rom to me feels much faster and responsive than even the stock CM7rom, and I much prefer QuickPix app the EliteMod uses over that slow-arse Gallery app in CM7.
I would recommend andromadus mimicry (ics) its pretty stable and everything works (for me at least). It has the ics specific flaws like scrambled text in app drawer but launcher restart fixes it. Using this rom for 2 weeks and had this text issue 1 time. Battery is good also

You should try Elitemod cm7 it has never failed me, all the features you need, speed and stabiity plus amaizing battery life. If you wanna go ICS get the cm9 elitemod, but it is still a bit buggy.
I tried a lot of roms, and I always came back to ILWT CM7 (not new versions). Sense roms are quite good but not on Desire Z (too small amount of ram memory, multitasking on sense roms are poor - even on sense 2.1 roms with supercharger script). I waiting for stable CM9 (and yes i tried all versions of CM9 but text glitches and manually change apn to send/receives mms, makes me nervous).
That is only my subjective opinion
Anything CM7 based is very stable. Probably the most stable of all. Stay away from CM9 or anything ICS on this phone for another few months in terms of stability.

I can only vouch for my own experiences but I find cm9 very stable, perfect for a daily.

Going to install the Beta14 right now, the ALPHA 1 month ago had a lot of issues... but that was 1 month ago. Will post back...
Try Quadrasense! Not true that rom based on CM9 is not stable....
Quadrasense is very fast and stable
inviato da HTC Desire Z
For most stable overall rom I would recommend the latest ILWT CM7. For most stable ICS rom I would recommend the Andromadus Mimicry rom.
