Which ROM do you find the fastest?

I know a lot of people have asked questions like which is the fastest rom? Who makes the fastest rom? etc... But what I'd like to find out is:
What do you mainly use your phone for? (EX: Work, Multimedia, etc..)
What radio works best in your area and what area you're in
Which rom do you find the fastest to suit your needs and your apps?
How does your use affect the battery? Is it dead in a couple hours? Or does it last a day?
What is your Threshold Pressure do you use? (For TouchFlo)
Do you prefer a port of a different device or a rom based off of the original kaiser roms?
Just a few questions. And if some people would please take the time to answer them.

I'll go first.
I use my phone mostly for multimedia and school work
NIKI 1.58.25.17 and Stockton, California
I find Gullum's rom to be the fastest because I use ThrottleLauncher a lot.
The battery is mostly like on all other roms I've used. Will die in 4-6 hours if I let Wi-Fi or GPS run constantly. But it lasts a good day with a lot of calls, texting all day, and typing on it for long periods of time.
My Pressure for the Threshold is 400 (Default on Gullum's rom)
I actually prefer a port since HTC has been slacking on Kaisers lately =/

wrong forum
This should be in the Kaiser General forum, as it has nothing to do with rom development. There are plenty of these threads already, IMO, but if you MUST create a new one, please, please, please do it in the right place.

Lol my bad. I just noticed I posted it in the ROM developement >.<

let me just say this.
garmins final exceeded all expectations and is by far the best rom that i have ever used.

my current fave is romeos v4.1 w/ 1.58.xx radio for battery life. 1.65.xx is good as well.

i really liked Rottohammer's rom, but switched over to AkaDonny's because of the stability of no 10 second time-out back lighting.
tvos

What do you mainly use your phone for? (EX: Work, Multimedia, etc..)
study, have fun and general phone usage
What radio works best in your area and what area you're in
1.58.xx.xx works well, but 1.65.24.36 also works especially the gps signal is amazing. I am in Atlantic Canada.
Which rom do you find the fastest to suit your needs and your apps?
I should say ROMeos v4 but I return to v3.5 coz the vjtoggletoday won't work with v4. I am highly expecting v4.1.
How does your use affect the battery? Is it dead in a couple hours? Or does it last a day?
Battery consumption is a serious issue associated with new radios. But I guess the battery lasts one day based on my usage.
Do you prefer a port of a different device or a rom based off of the original kaiser roms?
a rom based on the original kaiser rom but combines some good features from ported roms.

Oh, where in Atlantic Canada my friend? Im in Saint John.

@dufferin
i am in Halifax NS, lol

the rom in my signature with this radio version is tha best rom ever between 6.1wm roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121

After flashing 20+ different roms, Garmin DK1 Final has landed as permanent resident for my phone, with recommended 1.65.24.36 radio (this radio is amazing battery and gps performance wise) Battery lasts a solid 2 days of normal use and light internet browsing and aim chatting. (screen brightness set to lowest at all times)
Not much lag when flipping screen orientation, compared to my friend's stock at&t 6.0 rom which takes 3 times longer to flip despite registry and other tweaks.
I'm in Texas w/ TMobile service.

Okay thanks everyone I'll try Garmin and Hyper's roms. I currently use Gullum's and ThrottleLauncher flies like it's on crack with the D3D drivers.
Kraize

I am thinking of using a new rom, I haven't updated mine for about half a year or so and was wondering what you found worked best for you

I have been a big fan of Dutty's hybrid WM6.1 ROMs, but I have recently flashed to a few of Garmin's ROMs and I must say I am really liking his new DK.4.1 ROM.

Fastest Smoothest ROM?

I've tried over 10 different ROM's now, and I just can't seem to be satisfied. I've come to the realization that I shouldn't use TF3D, no matter how much I love it. It is just too slow. But even ROMs without it, are slow and laggy. Maybe I just haven't found the right one yet, which brings me to ask the question... (title)
I'm suprised there isn't some sort of poll for custom ROMs >.<

I recommend UnOff! but thats just me because i value my battery life and it seems to suck the least or it may be a placebo effect because there isnt the 1% increment thing. But never-the-less UnOff! i think touch X is good too, but i prefer a clean wm 6.5 look

I tried Touch X twice, the Legendary was nice, but both seemed to lag a lot. I have UnOff now, it's alright, but I'm hoping for smoother.

Unoff V11 is a simply amazing. Install what u want and god like speed.

make that 1 more for UnOff but you can also try christians rom he cooks clean roms as well although i never got a chance to try them because i kept to the UnOff series

Still working on it, installed SPB and it slowed signifigantly. Wish I could run the lifestyle panel without all the excessive unnecessary stuff that runs along with it.

I ran Christian's clean ROM once, didn't like it. UnOff is still best so far, just needs to be smoothed a bit more.

He said hes working on v12 and that it should be released within 2weeks

UnOff is still best so far, only until v11 still has problems on the phone canvas

I've tried a number of customs roms since having my X1 but always swear by MrRusch's Touch X series...currently using 10.7.4 which I find fast, responsive and stable, and I find has a slight edge speed wise over 10.8.2 (although it could be my imagination)

jacks V4.6Medium is the best.

anyone recommend me 6.1rom because i dont like 6.5 look and its always slower than 6.1.... please....... im so tired of switching rom

Why UnOff? I'm certain Touch X 10.1 will beat that in terms of speed (6.1 is faster than 6.5, unfortunately) unless this can be proven otherwise?

hello, i've a question, what are the pro's and cons with 6.5?
and can i still use al my software what works on 6.1?

Jack V4.5 Lite?
i dont actually have UnOff i dont know what its actually like , but by reading the posts , its really stable & fast . but it drains the battery.
i'd try BareBone SEX1 , or Jack V4.5 Lite
Jacks Lite's really light and quick.. so i'd recommend that...
try jack V4.5 Lite or V4.6 medium !

drains battery????? lol i think u need to read again
i challenge you to the battery test

I think it has the BEST battery life of all the roms i used, touch x, energyrom.

Why hasn't anybody suggested PCTech4U (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536551&highlight=pctech+4u) yet?
It's easily the fastest and smoothest rom I have ever used, even after installing all your crap on it it doesn't get slower.
This rom is very underrated. It is WinMo 6.1 , yes, but the menus and start menu etc. are all much more finger friendly.. (come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I used my stylus). It also has better battery life than all those WinMo 6.5 roms.
Just try it. Trust me, you won't regret it.

10 votes for UnOff Series!
I previously try Energy, Valkyre and other available ROMs published here... finally; on my first touch with UnOff 11, I think I will stay use it... Fast, really responsive, stable & very good battery life! Swear! I recommend you for daily use...
Just my testimony

After lots of flashings and cleanings, (removing and cleaning a bunch unnecessary apps and other B..S..ts), all roms are seemd to be lagy and slow.
Despite nice look of manilla 2.5, (or whatever variant of it was on ROM), and it's fingerfriendly behavior there are tons of software what gives bad responsiveness and slows it down.
Twitter, Footprint, Stocks, and likewise bullsh.t are not the apps that everyone needs on the phone. I even haven't account on facebook and other social networks, therefore I do need that. It is like carrying a bag full of stones in a desert, instead enough of water.
That is my opinion.
Finally I've found PCTech4You rom, based on WinMo 6.1, with Manilla 2.1, and some other sweeties. There are, (as in all other roms), yet more unnecessary thingies, but I can live with. At leest until I manage to cook my own rom.
So I think PCtech4You could be my favor, and the most shiny, (but most laggy too), are Energy and Walkrye.

Most stable rom in history,waiting for your challenge

I used more than 80 roms so far (including English roms,Chinese roms,Thai roms,Italian roms etc).
The roms are from many talented chefs,inluding:
Energy roms,Cell pro series,Deepshining series,Valkyrie FireStorm,Rhodium_AF,e2 roms,Touch X by smaberg,AthineOS roms,Jackos Oldschool ROM v1.1,WCX rom by WildChild,rom by Joshkoss,6.5 Foundation by Joe USer etc.
But my impression is that 6.5 Foundation v1.0 is probably the most stable so far.
Others roms,in one stage or the others, you always would see some "instability things",for example,SOD(screen of death),SMS panel slow or sometimes freeze,Sometimes incoming SMS doesn’t ring or vibrate unless you wake up the screen,weird things popping up if you dont soft reset the phone for some time.
etc etc
In 6.5 Foundation v1.0 I found none of these "instability things".
Plus,this rom has good battery life and good speed,so it is enough for me to recommend this to any challenger:

Never found a very stable rom...
I think sense 2.1 is most fast, but i love 2.5 with CHT.
Atm using Core Cell Evo 3.1 because for me this rom is near "bugless".
I love also Energy rom, but it have too many release (not always a new release fix bug) and drain the battery more fast then Core Cell.
U can try use this two rom in titanium mode..
It's just my opinion...

Almost all the early roms by Sergio were tried by me,his roms are great with a name for very good battery life, one of my favorite. His roms were like movies directed by James Cameron,everyday i just yearned for his new releases.
Since I flashed 6.5 Foundation v1.0 by Joe User,I have not followed up Sergio's new updates for several months, I will check his threads.

I don't find any screenshot of 6.5 Foundation v1.0

wm6.1
Hi,
I have switched from TytnII to my recent Rhodium.
On both, but especially on my TP2, I have figured out that WM6.1 stock is the best FOR ME. Manila is fine for me.
I have tried other ROMs, stock 6.5 or cooked ROMs, 6.1 or 6.5 no matter, I didn't like them.
I think 6.5 sucks in general. Most of the cooked ROMs contain stuff I don't want, so why have them? I appreciate all the chef's work, no question.
I am not conservative either, I am open to new things.
I will never give up speed and simplicity for eye candy, that's it.

Exactly my thoughts - that was original purpose of LBFAR - Light But Fast And Reliable - using stuff from WM6.1 ROMs (specifically TMOUS one, since it was using one of the last TF3D's, before Sense), keeping it really, really fast and really, really simple with a lot of RAM and ROM after boot.

Which ROM you think is the best, vote pls

Vote please for the best one.
so every one can desicde easier.
1) STABILITY-RELIABILITY
2) SPEED
3) GENERAL PERFORMANCE
4) GOOD LOOKING

There is no best ROM. This question have been asked for over 100 times now. Each one has his own needs.
Maybe the best ROM is the original one + some tweaks.
If you look for speed, than don't choose a ROM with Sense. A clean one should be fast, so look at Lite ROMs.
If you want something good looking and speed, choose a port of X2 ROM, because it looks better than X1 and it's not sluggish like Sense ones. But X2 ports still have some issues so they are not so reliable (Slideview is buggy; if you don't use Slideview it will be a good ROM; whenever I don't want Sense anymore I flash jerpelea's X2 port).
Right now I'm using "Genesis One" ROM. It is one of the fastest Sense ROMs, and has cooked in some programs I usually install (latest version has some unsolved bugs from what I've read, so I don't use latest version).
Another good ROM if you are looking for Sense is 826x one (one of the best contenders for the first place and highly recommendable).
Valkyrie and Energy ROMs have lots of programs I don't use, so I skip them (maybe you'll use those programs so they will be best ones for you).
Jack's v5 is another fast and stable ROM that uses WM 6.5. I haven't tested latest version because I couldn't download it. It has multiple types, so you can choose between lite, medium and full.
I haven't flashed other ROMs lately, so I can't comment about those.
The best ROM is the one YOU like, so read first posts of each ROM thread to see if it contain what you need, and latest posts to see which one is more stable.
Cheers!

The one that doesn't suck. 826x♥

I have a question .
I think the best rom is original rom .
50 % faster than other roms .50 % more STABILITY .never freez .more battery less bugs.
If someone want good looking menu no problem .there is alot of thems like spb mobile shell .
why should I choose other roms ?what is the benefit ?

I voted for the original rom R3AA. It's the most reliable and that's what is most important for me. I don't want to deal with freezes, not working features, synching issues etc. And if you tweak it (increase font size, install spb pocket plus, spb mobile shell, pointui home 2 etc.) it is almost as finger friendly as WM 6.5.

1) STABILITY-RELIABILITY - 826 (used to like Energy/christians, now 826 by a distance)
2) SPEED - 826x doesent slow down muchn after installing all apps etc.
3) GENERAL PERFORMANCE - 826 is very well rounded, though energy isnt bad
4) GOOD LOOKING - Energy (GTX), but i prefer to make my own look, so ir doesnt bother me too much.
To sum up, i dont think the rom cookers have matched the speed and stability of 826x. If only 826x were updated as often as Energy (but his is more stable, so i guess no need)
Edit : would like to try laurenti's as seems tiny!

general performance and for texting = Valkyrie Firestorm. , I tried 826X and energy series (all) although they are fast , needs restarting and for me slow when typing on the on-screen keyboard. Valkyrie Firestorm best used for txting + maxkey + softtouch config. The best. But that's just for me

agrees with cristidotro.
issues like this has been tackled soooo many times already.
it all boils down to your personal choice based on your needs.
best way to know which ROM suits you best? try everything.
there's no easy shortcut. experience is the best teacher.
i arrived with Jack's basic ROM. but that's just me.

There is one very good "old" ROM missing - PCTech4U v.2 - I'm testing a lot of ROM's but still comming back to mentioned ROM. Stable, fast, ...

i never try using other rom except 826x,but i think its pretty satisfying
very fast,responsive,and stable
good job master willy

I think Shady's rom is the most customizable I've ever seen here on the forum. Have a look here
[ROM][Multi-lang][19 langs] Shady313 Make Your Own Series [23134 Release 1][29/08/10]
To bad it's not an option in the poll, otherwise it would have got my vote. Have tried almost all the other roms but this one is the best....if you ask me ;-)
Peter

I just wish more rom cooker include Maxsense! I've just switched to the only x1 Maxsense rom (Energy one). It looks awesome, but a bit slow. I was flashing my sister's Palm Treo Pro to a 6.1 w TF2D rom...and it was BLAZING fast! Lookwise, is a lot to desire.
Sounds like 826x is the most recommended rom, but I think the next rom I'm going to try will be Christian' because I really like the tilewave panel.

Granted, I haven't tested too many ROMs.
But from what I have seen, the 826x Series definately stands out as the most reliable, stable, fast and responsive ROM. It also has a lot of free RAM - for a Sense ROM, that is.
It also looks very nice, though you can possibly find better lookers out there. But doesn't seem like that performance and reliability can be beaten.

i actually like th xpure as the best

used to play around with energy, but the stability of energy is not good enough for me and the battery consumption is pretty fast for its eye candy
moved to 926 for a few days and the stability of it is just awesome. great speed also and that's what i wanted for.
If you want a rom with the latest tech and full of eye candy, energy rom must be your good partner. But for users need stability and speed, 826 series will not disappoint you

New Rom

I am getting a little tired of the energy roms and Jackos roms draining the battery....i'm not looking for a fix, I want to know if a chef will cook up a rom that is similar to Chadsters e2 roms. I want something stable and very close to stock with task manager, youtube, google maps, etc. I'm really wanting this type of rom but all similar roms have been deleted. Thank You to anyone that helps out.

Try WCX 21916 w/Arcsoft. It's what you are searching for.

I want the htc messaging, idk why, I just really like it. I want it close to the stock 2.10 version with all the goodies.

Hi redwolf... The WC roms do have an HTC messaging version. They all work great, I'm a fan. Definately give one a go. You just need to decide 219XX (classic buttons) or 23XXX (bottom buttons). Both have HTC Messaging options. All the WC roms are fast, and have very good battery life.

Jackos rom drains your battery? Maybe your battery is bad my battery lasts like 2 days with Jackos rom

Battery Drain
No, I have two batteries. One was the original that was fine and another I got from a warranty exchange. I used Chadsters roms for a long time and had to switch to energy and/or Jackos, and my battery last at a max of about 11 hours. With chadsters, it would go for like 3 days without dying. Thank you for the advice and I will give the WC roms a try. Again, Thanks!!

Go try WC's roms. I've tried lots of stuff and I think they are the best for stabilty and speed. Don't expect bling, but expect a stock-like ROM that is better in every way. See my signature.
(and btw, there is an HTC messaging version)
Edit:
Sry, looks like from your last post that you are already on your way to trying a WC rom...

People seriously get days out of their batteries on these phones? I have two 2400 mh batteries that I swap in the morning and afternoon....it's not rom specific because I did the same thing with the stock rom...I figure it's a device usage issue...I use the thing a lot more than other people, I suppose....but really??....days out of their batteries?

Btw...I dont claim to know much, but I run an energy rom and it hasnt seemed to have drained my battery any more than the stock ATT rom I had..if it does, it hasnt been at a noticeable level...I really had no idea a battery could last days on these phones...I used to love my 8525 with the 3500 mh battery,,,that lasted days...I wish I could have gotten one for this device but alas, no correct battery doors available ...stupid PTT button...lol

My testers have all different kinds of usage with their phones...one uses 3g and wifi on constantly, others use 3g and sync emails every 5 minutes for work...so the testing has been very thorough in this aspect....

Mr WC...I have zero doubt regarding your ROMs testing...tried and proven ..I also know your testers use their devices differently, we all do...I was just amazed that people can get days out of their batteries on these devices, and my thinking was that they'd simply not use the thing to achieve that, lol...regarding your ROMS and testers....I would never question that...you do thorough work and your testers do thorough testing

Wasnt implying anything, was just stating procedure we go through is ll...

If you want a specifics scenario with WCX 28148 Sense 2021 build :
I use a RHOD100 with 4.49.25.17 radio, with HSDPA enabled, dynamic screen backlight, 2 minutes turn off device, 10 minutes OTA Active sync, Opera backgrounded, Twitter and Weather updated hourly, and I reach 2 days after 2 full battery cycles after HR.
Note that radio's choice has a real impact on autonomy. .91 and .95 sucks around 30% more battery with the very same scenario.
Now, your autonomy will vary with your area coverage when you call. I phone at least 30 minutes a day, sometimes more, rarely less.

Hmm....I've never changed the radio from the original AT&T ROM...I've wondered if I should in the past but being new and stupid, I just figured that since I've never had signal issues and what not, I'd just keep the one I have (not to mention I don't know how to flash a new one...lol)...the one I have now is 4.48.25.20...

btw, I like hearing other's usage stats, I take and make a ton of calls...I remember my 900 minute monthly plan from years ago...and the 1400 dollar bill I got in a month for going over my plan limit...lmao, I forget how many hours of calls I had...but who wouldn't when the 1400 dollar number hits?
