Are those all the best versions I can get? I'm hoping to get something a little more smooth, maybe better on battery.

You could try the 5.08 radio instead, not seen anything to indicate that FRG33 is any better than FRF91 could try if you like.

I would root the phone and put CyanogenMod 6.0 on it and it will open up a whole new world to you. Word of caution: read, read, read and educate yourself before flashing ROM's, kernel or anything else. Also, unless you are very comfortable using adb...don't mess with your radio as screwing up is the only way to brick your phone. Good luck!

My phone is rooted, I'm not sure about installing cyanogen or about how to change kernels though, and someone told me Cyanogen had really bad battery life, which is something I really want to be good.

I went through two batteries yesterday. I wasn't running it hard or anything. I do have all the bells and whistles going though.
I'm sure there is a battery thread for CM6, I'll look and see what I can find.
Regardless of the battery life it would be hard to switch back.

If you have Amon_Ra's or Clockwork Recovery installed, just download CM6 and either Wildmonks or Pershoots oc'd/uv kernel and flash them thru recovery. First, back up your apps, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik-cache, wipe battery stats, then flash CM6 then kernel then 08172010 Gapps and reboot!
There are lots of threads dedicated to walking you thru each step.

You could also flash ROMs other than CM6. Enomther's feedback suggests MUCH better battery life and smoother ROM.

i second that. Enom's rom is a must!

I've heard a lot about both of their Tom's but I don't actually know how they compare to eachother in terms of features and performance.

Nobody can tell you that objectively since there are no objective head-to-head comparisons using specific set-ups, but only those that users do for themselves . From user comparisons you can gain some of the info you're looking for. You should probably try them and decide for yourself.

To be fair I don't know a feature list of either Cyanogen or Enom. I went on the Cyan site and clicked features but it just shows a video.
I just want something with good battery life!

Honestly, the best battery life is found using a stock rom. FRF91 or FRG33. You won't be able to use any of the great features that you'll find in Enom or Cyan's roms.
Personally, I don't see any adverse affects on battery life with either. You just have to test them out for a day or two under normal conditions. It's not the instant answer you were looking for, but that's how we all know what rom's we prefer.

Isn't there just a plain old feature list to look at?

UV
If you like your current setup and just want better battery life you can flash a custom Under Volted kernel.
Many Rom threads have a list of features in the first or second post

I have always found Enom to be more stable and better battery. The current "stable" CM6 is no where near as stable as Enom's 2.11.x and the battery life of Enom is better, however, the most recent CM6 has some more features that Enom does not yet have, one of them being WPA2 Enterprise support.

Duttys HD V3.9 XT Turbo or L26_THDV3.0_Ultimate ??? I don't know witch to choose!

What are the main differences from these two ROMS?
I have tried both.
My view?
Dutty ROM is more stable and less battery consuming
Laurentius ROM is more sexy and tweaked, has also more software
What is your opinion?

No doubt this thread will be closed as opinionated. Its your choice. You choose which you prefer as everyone elses preferences will most likely not be yours.
After trying both my preference is Duttys

Having compared them last night, Dutty's is far faster and memory usage is far lower. Its down to your preference theough - try them both and see which one fits your purpose the best. Personally i prefer to have the option to install the software that i want, and therefore not a great lover of roms full of software.
I prefer Duttys Rom,
also had tested both
So Dutty is the winner here?
Can you also tell me WHY you prefer one or the other ROM with hard facts, like lower battery-cunsumption or faster working or any other criteria that did you choose for one or the other ROM.

i am suprised, the thread is not closed yet.

Both roms have good battery lives and are both fast. My preference is down to me being biased towards Throy as a mate, one of his beta testers and that I have followed his roms for years.
I could go into detail, but again my best advice would be to try both yourself and make your own educated decision
Try Yourself

Mate,
If you really wanna know, try both the ROMs for few days (at least a week - each ROM). Then you will come across all the problems like battery, software issues, etc which is applicable to you on your hardware. The reason is same ROM might give different results on different hardware.
We have seen that it's happening on both the ROMs. For one guy it's working while the other suffers to make it work.
Saying that, it's really up to you mate , to decide which ROM to go for... I tried both & I have my own ++ & -- about them. and I think this thread is going to be closed soon.
Why asking?
Give them a try !!
I m personnaly using Miri v19, very nice rom too, one more you should try haha ^^
After trying both I've dropped back to the most recent stock rom and just added to it what I need. The new cal feature is nice but not a seller for myself, and the stock rom just seems to use battery and memory much better for me.
Having said that when there is a newer release for custom I will no doubt flash again lol

You should try Topix or Vanilla Topaz.
Both are very fast and are very battery efficient
Onkolog's ROM is the best! Who uses TF3D anyway... ...just close this thread...
Choice is to personal to start a thread.
I just ported my old nokia 3110 os to my blackstone, no more have to worrie about ram, or bad battery issues. So anyone want those two to be sorted out just flash that rom.
Here is my advise... Stick to the STOCK ROM. Probably thats the safest bet for you.
Don't be lazy dude... go through the change log for all the ROMs out there and choose one. I am sure most of the guyz here usually do not have a ROM on their deivse more than a week (at best). I know I dont.
This is an unanswerable question.
The only way of knowing is trying them for yourself and see which one you prefer.
Lots of work go into creating these ROM's and no-one should be bias against any, purely as so much time and effort is put in by the author for your use for FREE. Appreciation is the only way to go. Keep up the good work to all the Cook's on here! Thanks!
ROM's are specific to personal preference. I know which I prefer, but I'm not going to say which as yours could be different.

lol no worries, defintally not tring to hate. But I would also say that this isn't a poll on which rom you're using. It's a poll asking you since you've flash both roms which you think is faster. I was looking at it and was thinking " I could see people messing that up "

yes, exactly....i glad you noticed and clarified, this rom is really only for those who have flashed atleast 2 or all of these and are voting on the rom they believe to be the fastest of the ones they tried. yea i was also thinking a good bit of people might misunderstand this..later, veritasa
mine's the fastest
It's not listed here because it's not finished, but it doesn't require (it doesn't even support) A2SD, compcache is automatic, you get 80~ MB free in data on first boot.
I just need a few final details to get it working, but when I do it'll be an option for people who do not want/use/need a2sd but want rosie, exchange, and a few widgets.
With the shameless self advertising done, I think akirah's is by far the best, fastest build on the device currently (that I've tried), given all other things equal. But Jac's newest build with cyanogen's kernel enhancements might be faster. I haven't tried it because my phone is busy finishing testing my build.

im lovin this hero2, now i just cant decide if i want to do the jac or cyan update listed in the hero post
well just know jac2.0 as 2.1 and keep it rolling.

Screw it...goneback to stock....seriously...

Got tired of all the CM updates, each one breaking something different than the previous.
I'm sure at some point I'll do another modded ROM but I really do need something that is _reasonably_ stable.
Sure there'll be those who say "I've never had a problem"....good for you! I have followed many advice methods from many people. Hell, there have been some who have taken a bit of a written beating from my vents of frustration, and they still talk to me True dedication. On the flip side, if you ask a complete and intelligent question on Cyanogen's IRC channel, you'll get ignored, despite his wiki saying go there as one of the steps before reporting a problem (Hey Cyanogen, I'd like to report that the IRC channel is broken for anyone looking for help....:/ )
Been through the ringer with CMs and kinda sore over it. Will check other ROMs down the line because I've exhausted enough energy with this one.
Thanks for all your guys help. There are a few saints amung the 'uber coders'
We all owe Cyanogen a debt of gratitude for his work and how it has inspired others.
However, not all roms are created equal and of course a Full wipe before flashing any type of NEW rom onto your device is the key to success.
Super D is definitely where its at if you want the best of everything the HTC Dream/G1 has to offer, see my signature for the correct version.

Super D really was one of the fastest roms for me, but may I ask why you recommend 1.9.3 over 1.11?
OP, your sig says that you are running firmware 2.2. There is no stable 2.2 rom out there (CM6 is still in release candidate status...). If you want to use CM, stick with 5.0.8 it has less bugs.

To be honest I respect Cyanogen for all their hard work, But Ive always

You should try Htcclays Donut superbad. Fastest and most stablest rom ever!
Yes better than SuperD.

In regards to the best battery life, stability and FC free user experience Super D v 1.9.3. is simply the best in xda or any other website.

Its up to the interpretation of the user if one Rom is better than the other. Ive flashed them all and the Rom in my sig is most definitety the best Donut of them all. Why have hamburger when you can have steak?

I agree I've never liked cyanogen's ROMs. However, they are better than stock. He's also a damn good dev and most other ROMs have some bits from his work in there. Super E latest is what I'm on now. It's a piece of work, and the most stable Eclair I've found. However, if you want a pretty much guaranteed stable ROM, always go Donut. I like the features in Eclair, but nothing will compare to Donut on these devices in terms of speed and stability. That's just my opinion, though.

[Q] Help me find the right ROM for me please?

I'm not a noob to flashing, but I don't regularly visit this forum, I'm not so up-to-date with regards to development on LG Optimus 4x HD. I bought it a few months ago, and I flashed to it V20A stock, so I think that I unlocked the bootloader, not sure. Do you need to unlock the bootloader to flash v20A?
Anyway, lately, I'm experiencing some battery drain due to the baseband_xmm something wakelock, and my phone just lasts 14 hours, under medium usage, which is not really to my satisfaction. It's also not as snappy as it once was.
I tried factory wipes, but it doesn't work. I get an error on the boot screen. So I decided I should just flash a new Rom altogether. Can somoene please guide me on what would be the ideal Rom for me? I would like one which is completely free of bugs, and stable as much as possible, which offers satisfying battery life, and preferably has fixed the baseband_xmm wakelock, and is relatively bloat-free. I don't care if its LG stock,, or not, as long as everything works. Although I would like to be able to keep QuickMemo, and I like the stock Camera, but I don't know if these can be ported to non-stock Roms.
What can you recommend please ? Also some instructions and/or links to instructions would be appreciated.

So my question's out of place, but your post isn't?
All I wanted to know is what most people recommend in terms of stability and battery life. You don't need to post that. And yeah I did search, but there's just so many roms, which seem to be updated constantly, and I have no idea where to start, and I can't go around flashing rom one after the other testing battery life and stability, because I need my phone and use it often. If I had a spare phone, then I could flash roms non-stop to my LG while using my spare phone as a daily driver.
Any recommendations are appreciated .
See what you like best. What I like best may not be what you like best. Sorry, but you're going to have to flash a bunch of them just like everyone else. Read the forum rules.
Not everyone gets the same reaults , say I'm using PAC with my own settings , you might think its slow and laggy while i don't.

Anyone?

Wondering if anyone is working on a new rom now the sources have been released.
It does not seem like it. I have been looking a lot around the net. I am considering selling mine.
I already built some ROMs for other phones and tablets but you guys need to understand that this is not something that is done in a day !
With my ******* connection I am not even done with the download of the sources ! Then you need to make some adjustments, sync, gather all the sources and finally build which is a really heavy process and right now since I need my computer to work, I can't let him build and compile.
I'll definitely build some ROM for this device since I want to try new ROMs but I need more time
That sounds encouraging. Even if the performance were increased (less battery drain) on the existing Mokee and CM 12.1 Roms, we would be in a better place. I am currently on Mokee 14/03 and the battery drain makes it very difficult to use out and about.

Hi ectoplasma22, I hope you could build a nice rom for this phone, because the smartphone deserves it! Can you say me if you have found some bugs on the Mokee one? Is all working on it? I'm now on miui europe stable and the rom is good but I see some limitation of the Miui rom wich are a little annoying like errors converting user app in system app system and many, but however I found how to switch the 2k dispay resolution to 1080 and the battery life increased +30%, also if I'm getting error writing screenshots on sdcard and some apps see only a small area to work, and the cursor for those apps is blocked in a small space, like the app Nice Eyes which can't be placed on the eyes. Do you know a secure way to change resolution without get anu bugs?

Lots of comments in the Mokee thread here on battery drain. http://en.miui.com/thread-228046-1-1.html
Great that it's working for you, but mine is way worse than miui for drain. Seems to be related to min cpu frequency being high during idle.
I also notice that the cm 12.1 thread has a known issue on needing to have two sims inserted and using the second for lte if you want to use lte. http://en.miui.com/thread-234339-1-1.html. I'm not sure if this impacts Mokee too or if related to battery drain (I have one sim only in sim 2). But my drain is a lot better when aeroplane mode is on.
Android 6 coming from nian, only sound is bugged..

I'm glad I asked now, things seem to happening slowly, Mokee is ok battery no great but passable, I needed to enter APN manually as some of the fields were missing causing crazy issues.
