You have an HTC Evo Shift? You rooted it and put a custom OS on it?
Awesome.
First timer right her who wants to ask your preference, the only thing I have to have is the ability to tunnel my internet to project a free hotspot. That is available in CM7, so far I am leaning towards a nightly build... But essentially since I have not done this before, I don't know the best, I'm sure no one knows the "best"...BUT I would very much like to know your favorite considering that is my main concern

I really like Sense Roms, especially sense 3.0. I was rocking a stock, rooted rom, but got tired of HTC dragging their feet releasing the source code for the Shift. I flashed CM 7.1 stable, with Scary Ghoul 3 kernel, running at 1.5 gHz. But, if HTC already had source code for the gingerbread release, I'd still be on a sense rom.
Created a whole thread about this. Here you go.

If you like Sense then it's gotta be Supreme Sense. Real nice ROM with lots of bells and whistles and a very nice camera app.
Me personally, I prefer CM7. I want raw performance and the maximum amount of customizability and CM7 offers all that more than any other ROM.
@Vico
The thread you specified was...
[INFO] Cyanogenmod 7 optimal settings for Evo Shift 4G on SPRINT (Updated 10-7-11)
Which is not what I'm looking for, I happened to say I was looking into CM7, but would be open to another OperatingSystem all together. CM7 does good work, but honestly they are the only ones I know about. So I would be narrowminded to assume the only one I know about would be the best choice. Since alot of people on this forum have done alot to their phones their input on a recommended OS will be followed.
Well I'm sure you know it depends on your usage, and preferences. I'm a Sense kind of guy. If your looking for a sort of stock Rom with a lot of extras that's quick, than MikShifted G v1.75 is a great choice. Stable, Reliable, and Fast. If your looking for something a little more over the top that's still stable, reliable, and fast. Than Supreme Sense is it, eye candy plus.

It's either CM7 or Sense.
Pick one. If you pick CM7 take a look at my thread.

Don't discount MIUI.. there are a lot of people into it for one reason or another. Myself being one of them. Someone new to flashing roms might find it's exactly what they're looking for.

I think miui is pretty cook because you can literally change everything! A ton of themes and icon packs. Just so many ways to customize. But I live supreme. I just can't leave it!
I flashed miui just to flah it and I haven't flashed another rom since... love the ui straight and to the point, lots of themes is def a plus... I have no 4g so don't miss it at all...

I guess I'll go looking for it after attempting and hboot downgrade again. I dont want to talk about it here though, It would technically be off topic. bah.
ive been trying roms here and there but cant find the perfect one, but i want opinions on the best Sense rom and best ICS rom since im torn between the two. i personally likes sense when i had a MT4G and i like how the layout of ICS is. so opinions every one?

There is no 'best ROM'. You'll have to try them out and find one for yourself. What works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Also, if you're going to respond to this directly come up with something better than 'oh I just want opinions' because all you have to do to find that is to look in the ROM thread at some of the posts and to look at the viewcount + post count of each ROM.
Try NexusHD2 CM9 HWA by TyTung
I don't think there is an ICS ROM with Sense. Sbryan 1124 has an alpha version of the 4.0.3 Sense 4 ROM from the One V but it's not fit for daily use. Try the NexusHD2 CM9 HWA by TyTung. It's vanilla ICS but it has very few issues

thats why i said "but i want opinions on the best Sense rom and best ICS" which means i want opinions on why they think its the best, not just what i think is best.. i much rather hear what other people have to say about the rom. if i wanted on just tuned for me i would just make my own.

Lol i know that much, but when i tried sense roms i had some lag. But with the ICS roms i have more reliability, im using Nexus HD2 i like it but its been buggy on me where it doesnt notify me when i get a text so its kinda of making me go "eehh" to that rom for now.

Either way you look at it, 'best ROM' threads are wrong and there isn't an answer so why bother asking?

Having made my point about there being no best ROM, I can say that NexusHD2 works absolutely perfectly for me. I've been notified about every text and it's without doubt the fastest ROM I've tried for playing games and web browsing in particular. I won't say it's the best ROM because this is EXACTLY what I mean about 'what works for one won't necessarily work for another' but it's certainly good. Sense ROMs are in general slow, and you're not experiencing anything out of the ordinary. If you don't like one of them, chances are you're not going to like any of them.

I know what you mean, im sorry for mis-wording the thread, but i just like seeing opinions on Rom's before i try them. But if i dont like one sense rom doesnt mean i wont like a different one, every developer has there on way how they make their rom, so what could be in this rom could be completely different in this one, but hey thats the fun of making a rom. Also NexusHD2 my current daily use rom just because of how clean and stable it is, i probably messed something up to get the notification problem, but it has high potential along with paranoidandroid. but the main reason i like opinions on this subject is because maybe there is a underdog rom some where that isnt really get as much attention as the bigger ones right now that could be actually decent and what im looking for, or maybe and aspiring developer is making something.

I agree with you on wanting opinions I like to see the same... just ignore the above person because there is no where in the rules that's states this is wrong.....he just has nothing better to do..... anyway back on topic..... I have tried paranoid ( which I'm on and I LOVE) the later update allows alot of spirit changes that allow me to have everything to my liking... I have a half table half phone thing going on and its great. I tried aokp but I felt it was too buggy maybe after its off hold it will be better. I myself have been wondering about gb roms my self i haven't tried any hope this helps

The main reason i liked paranoidandroid was becaus of how stable it was and the uniqueness of the tablet phone. It looked nice and felt nice but the keyboard was a giant turn off and when i installed a different keyboard it would bug out like crazy and i couldnt find a way to fix it. But overall it has really good and clean.

Thats why Nexus HD2 is my daily use rom, the only bugs in it are small ones that will be worked out. but other than that its overall great, but personally parnoidandroid does have my attention because i like the whole hybrid style, just some kinks need to be ironed out.

It definitely is IMO it has even more detail into what dpi's can be controlled and it has a new keyboard... the giant keyboard was a true turn off but I fixed that by adjusting the dpi for the keyboard and its great now I have hack zero reeboots or issues and battery life with juice defender and slightly oc is like 17 hrs moderate use for me

Whilst I'm not here to get into any sort of argument, I'd just like to point out that just because something isn't stated in the rules doesn't mean it's not wrong. Back on topic though, Paranoidandroid is really good and different from other ROMs, although as of when I tried it NexusHD2 was far more stable and I preferred it.
what do you guys think the best rom is..looking for cool features,customizations,tweaks,battery,and performance

Hey, I think that the standard rom that the phone is born with is cool enough )
Haven't felt the "no-need to root my phone" feeling before... it's weird, but I honestly feel that it's good enoug , the way it is...
Bobo
The stock rom is pretty much perfect on all levels, on all my previous android phones I felt the desprate need to instantly change into a customized ROM, but on the note I feel that if i ever do install a costume rom it will be worse not better
Everyone has their own definition of cool. Me, I can't stand most of the color ans font themes I see packaged. You're going to have to know what you're wanting for specific advice, or try and try til you find what you love. So far this is the first rom I've had no want to swap out, and I'm running stock.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

The Note 2 is my first device where i don't have the need of a Custom ROM. Stock is a very perfect ROM. I use Android Devices since the HTC Magic.
All depends your own preferences, so make your choice and see if it makes you happy.

I have to agree that many of the roms have themes that aren't to my taste. However as im a flashaholic ive resorted to android revolution,
It's pretty rare on xda to get this many replies favouring stock!
I simply can't find a good reason to flash when everything works perfectly on stock after a little debloating. Perhaps the l only thing I don't like is the touchwiz notification drawer and the toggles. But I'm getting used to it.

For customization it's pretty cool ParanoidAndroid Rom, i use it and i find it awesome, if u don't need customization Stock Samsung + Root it's the Best.
The stock rom is the best, more stock based rom please.

If you like stock then why flash a custom ROM? If you don't like the added functionality that custom ROMs bring then there's no point using them. Use stock rooted and be happy, but don't ask (or, by the tone of your post, demand) devs to create ROMs for you which no one else will use.

Because aosp based rom are full of bugs, issues, force close and unstable ? making my n4 lagging without reason where stock doesn't have ?

Dunno what you're taking about but I've experienced no lag on my N4 with stock or custom ROMs. I haven't come across a ROM which has any serious bugs or stability issues on the N4. Also, PIE is the only useful feature in your opinion. There are so many other useful features available IMO.

There used to be a couple of rom choices for SP, they were very different, and it was easy to pick what you like, now it seems there are 57 varieties of each rom with subtle changes that most people don't notice.
Could everyone not work together instead of continually cooking up variants of stock or CM11?
Is it the lure of the thanks button and donations that make it happen?

Some CM's are for LBL and some are for UBL and now some UBL roms are catering for LBL support, also some CM's are a port of CM11s from the oneplusone and not stock CM11. Either way theres no harm in having more ROMs to choose from as long as you can find one thats supported and works for you.
Well at one point it was "too less roms"

i totally agree with you
developers should start working on stuff like MIUI and Liquid rom instead of just applying some tweaks and themes and calling it a custom rom
i think there are about 6 CMs, 10 stock roms which are all basically the same and all are good for LB or UB and are the same thing just changes in themes and whatnot

If you want MIUI then work on it, people will work on what they want to not necessarily what another person wants. as ive said the 6 CM versions are not all the same and wont work on all versions of the XPeria SP.

If he should keep his opinion to himself,you should do the same.I have been on these forums longer than you,so listen to me carefully.
If you want it simple,use cm11.It is minimalistic,no feature overdose,almost pure 4.4 AOSP.There are official nightlies for UBL,and weekly releases by MrSteve555.
if you want the 4.4 SONY rom,use RepeXpersiS,it is both for LBL and UBL.
If you are a pony lover,install AOKP.If you like paranoid character faces,install PA.If you want everything from CM,AOKP and PA in one package,install PAC.If you are a iPhone lover deep inside,use MIUI.
Every custom ROM has unique features,and by that I mean Mokee OS,Carbon ROM,Omni and etc.
