whats is the best (cooked or uncooked) rom?

please help me to find the best rom. i tried many roms but most of the consumes battery so quickly that i have to unflash them quick.
wishlist:
1- Longest possible battery *Important*
2- must be stable... no bugs
3- Limited amount of softwares installed. i love to install my own favorite ones.
4- prefer rom built using leo 2.10 (for HTC E-Reader)
5- desirable WM 6.5.5
6- desirable HTC E-Reader (tab is optional. App will do)
all you experience guys please help... its really difficult for me to choose one and i have already nearly bricked my mobile so a little bit scared to keep flashing every rom...
Thanks in advance

you're gonna get a lot of people annoyed that you started a thread like this
it's a personal choice
i don't see why instead of going into the correct section and reading the first three lines of the available ROM's you started your own thread specifying what it is that you want
ROM DEVELOPMENT
ITS ALL THERE!

Before the thread gets locked, I'll tell you that you need to wait 2-3 days before passing judgment on battery life. It takes about 2-3 full charge/discharge cycles before the ROM 'calibrates.' The first use after ROM flash will almost always give you terrible battery life.

its a general question about choosing the best ROM. it has nothing to do with rom development. i think this is the best area to ask question... i thankfully appreciate that many people are spending enormous time on developing roms but i think i have right to choose the one that suits my needs...

but i think i have right to choose the one that suits my needs...

then stop asking which rom suits everyone elses needs and go find what works best for you, best advice i can give
and although it is the best area to ask this question, it has been asked a billion times before

true but they are all dated now

mate, in the rom development section, click on a rom, and on the first post it will say what it does
for example laurentius has good battery life
artemis is windows5.5 and very stable
cleanex and leolite have been stripped to make it faster
duttys has been tweaked for speed
they all say what they do

Why are all the threads about what is the best rom dated????
because the mods lock them. every single one of them.
why? because there is no best rom.
every rom suits someones needs. so every rom is for someone the best rom.
read all the threads and in every single rom thread you will find people saying that that rom is the best rom.
as said before a rom is personal. read the fisrt few posts and try a few. you will find yours then.

seems like leolite is going to be my rom i am downloading and hoping that it will be stable and less hungry on the battery...
thansk for quick tips guys

Best ROM

hi all,
i might be getting a new s2 soon, so i was wondering what rom would you recommend
thanks

Try some and decide.
This question is subjective, has been asked too many times, pisses the mods off and may well be locked by a mod.
No short cuts unfortunately.

There's no best rom. Because nobody uses their phone the same, nobody's phone is setup the same and because no two phones come out of the factory the same.
I can almost guarantee you won't have the same experience with a particular rom or kernel for those reasons.
If you do get an SGS2, try out a bunch of roms until you find one that has the features you want & works well for you.

There should be a dedicated thread which we can link to whenever we see a post regarding 'best rom'. As people have said you need to try them as everyone has there own views.
I normally end up trying 3 or 4 before deciding and well worth reading the rom thread before trying.

How many of these Stupid Best Rom Posts do we have to DELETE before they get the message Jeez

[Q] The best Rom?

I am a new user and i would like to now which is the best ROM for my GT-9505.
I listen that Foxhound is very good with a good support.
What about Phoenix Rom?
I need yours opinions.
Thanks!!

Best ROM threads...no no no

Best rom 4 me, doesnt necessarily mean its best rom 4 u. They all r great. They all have that special something that makes them unique in their own way. U r going 2 want to try them all and make that choice yourself. Alot of these guys/girls do this in their own time and offer it to us 4 free. So imo their all the best. Wish I could buy them all a coffee. Just start downloading and try them all till u find the best one 4 u. Enjoy qnd have fun.

what is the best echoe rom for a galaxy S4 I9505

Hi All
I really like the Echoe roms but was wondering which Rom is the best for your battery life?
thanks
Paul

Try it out for yourself. This question is not allowed here, because there is no best.

Then they don't know what they are talking about. There is no big difference between roms in battery life. There can be a difference, but that comes from how the user uses his phone and/or if it's an AOSP rom or the rom uses a different kernel with maybe some tweaks.
Every rom that claims that it has the best battery life, the fastest and the smootest is lying. They can never prove it and a good rom doesn't need those claims

1) Use the latest one unless you read something that would justify using an older echoe rom.
2) Do NOT ask for a 'best rom' on XDA, ever. This WILL be shut down.
3) What is the best? One with all TW features, the fastest, the slimmest, the longest battery, the most processing power, more gpu, less gup, more apps, less bloatware, more features? There is no such thing.
Do NOT ask for an ETA, do not ask for a best ROM. Read the XDA charter or watch the intro video (it's like 90 seconds long).
I'm not trying to have a go at you, but if you don't read the basic stuff here you perhaps should not be flashing ROMs on your phone. The best advice for rooting/installing/flashing is always read, read and read some more.

Suggestion for the infamous "which rom is best" question

Hi everyone,
So XDA has made it clear that they dislike the question "Which is the best ROM" and will delete any posts based on this question.
I think we can have a thread that is more factual rather than opinionated. An actual comparison charts of some sort, with a long list of ROMs and which features they have or don't have being identified by checkboxes.
I know the general reply to the question is try them out yourself and pick what you like, but the idea here is not to say which is best, its just to provide as much information as possible so that we don't have to test each rom individually or go through threads and threads to find what we like.
I don't know exactly how this would be approached but if a this thread can become a sticky thread I think there will be a lot less questions on ROM features. Maybe the ROM developers can make submissions or whatever to the list with the features they have/don't have and new features can be added as they are made.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, feel free to move/delete this if inappropriate.

Thread closed,
While your idea is interesting it still falls under the rom comparison thread which is against forum rules.
The reason we do not allow these is, if you are a rom developer who has spent hours and days worth of work, putting a rom together, then somebody comes in and says this rom is better because it has X Y and Z, you can see how that developer would not take it too well.
The best thing to do is to simply read the OP's of the different roms in question and try it for yourself.
Best rom threads do not work in general because each user is different. If you give a rom to 3 people and say to use it, each person will get different results.
It does boil down to the fact the you need to decide what you want out of your phone and then try roms yourself to see which one is best for you.
Many thanks,
Ghost
