Well I have been out of it for a few months and recently have been having a few troubles with my current rom ("Mau5 CM6"). Its about 3 months old so I thought why not try something else. I have no clue which rom to pick there are so many since I was last here (a very good thing).
My priorities:
-Stability
-Performance
-AOSP preferred (darch or others version doesn't matter)
Im assuming that 2.3 didnt bring much? Or did it?
aosp 2.2 with out a doubt
and bout gingerbread.. it did bring a little peformance a smidgen of batt life. but not nearly ass stable as aosp, and if you customize it just right, its a perfect rom
davidevan thanks for the help. Just waiting for more opinions.
If you like to change your theme a bunch, the theme engine being used with 2.3 beats the hell out of flashing.

agreed with User, that is one cool aspect, and the minor UI changes is a bit of eye candy.
if you go with a GB rom go with AOSP not CM, AOSP i think feeds off his updates on his roms haha, has great support from him.

A pair of glasses?
So you mean that on this theme section they have 2.1 rom themes? Where?
you're right there is a lack of themes around here. but i came across a good one by opasha. its pure sex
I also just finished a port of my Ice Crystals theme for Eclair ROMs
I'm not sure but probably because most people aren't running 2.1 since it's still in test phases right now there aren't a lot of themes the themes are made by people who use the rom and want to make it look better. Most people stick with stable so there's more 1.6 themes than 2.1.

best rom:
Froyo: Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620
Reason: Well first im not a fan of froyo roms but this ones the fastest so far and it doesnt have all the junk lots of other froyo roms have its also not bad on battery life maybe the best on every froyo i tried
Eclair: Xillius200's,Mikeyman77's,Spikeynick94's DroidEris 2.1r3
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807183
Reason
* Fast for sense
* Sense UI is sexy
* Updated more frequently then any other sense UI ive seen
Donut: Super D 1.11
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613809
Reason
* Good battery life
* fast
thats pretty much all for that all though updates come rather slow maybe zx donut is better anywho idk for themes
I would recommend GammaFly. It has all the speed and stability of the 2.2 AOSP ROM, except for it has a really nice theme put on it.

Not for me. The battery life is just as good as it was on the 2.2 AOSP ROM. And GammaFly is pretty much the same as 2.2 AOSP, because it is based off of it, and the only big changes to the ROM is theming, and some added apps, which shouldn't affect speed and battery life. At least in my opinion.
thanks to all of you
i would try them and see whats best for me tnx!
Hello. I'm relatively new to flashing roms (I just recently rooted my phone) and I'm wondering what is the best rom for me. I like sense, but I want to play angry birds. What is a rom that is the least laggy for angry birds?
Also, I see a lot of people who say they use CM6. I assume that is cyanogenmod 6, but I'm unclear whether it is. The one under darchstar's thread? or another one, like aosp's 2.2 or jaybob413's? Which one of those is best (of their stablest release)?
Thank you so much for your time and patience with me
I like & I'm using cm6.1 stable. I've never tried AOSP but I've heard it's faster than & smoother than cyanogen. You don't have to get cm6.1 from a thread here though, you can just go to cyanogenmod.com & download it with the corresponding gapps if you want. I like cm better because it has a lot more customizable options. There are a lot of great themes for you to try out once you get flashing & roms down hope this helps

I tried angry birds on cm and aosp and a few others. I found aosp 2.2 runs angry birds the best by far. However, it is still going to be a little laggy.

Sorry to say but on AOSP you're out of luck because they don't have those options. You can change clock notification status bar & etc. colors on cyanogenmod though which is actually why I prefer it but to each is own Your best bet on AOSP is to find a theme you like & flash it but customizable wise I believe that's as far as you'll get
Which GUI do you like or use more?
No Sense here...
I can never make my mind up. i like the stock Gingerbread, its simple and quick, where as the Sense can sometimes cause a bit of lack with the clock changing or the widgets being so big. But at the same time i miss the sense and its integration with the whole system. The dialer, phonebook etc looks so much nicer.
atm im using the RCMix HD rom, which is pretty damn quick and has sense. so im happy for now. may change my mind in a month or two.
Gingerbread for me. Although I do like a bit of the original HTC flip clock from time to time, especially the one with the flip animation
I can't decide which look I like more. I like the functionality of Sense UI and how everything ties together, But I like the speed of Gingerbread.
I like the Gingerbread UI. It feels like to the point, without the frills and hassles.

I agree. I just flashed a Desire-HD rom , and tried it for a bit. But, I quickly became bored with it fast...
gingerbread all the way
I just go between RCSDSmix Sense/MIUI-Dev/CM Nightlies
Usually just flash whichever has latest update and move to new one when it updates
It's like which color of shirt do I wear today
The advantage of root
I'm a little of both.
I only really like the weather unlock animations, weather app and new 3.0 lockscreen from Sense. Besides that, I like the simplicity and look of stock gingerbread
you can find a replacement theme, alternate apps and widgets..
although you wont ever get that tight sense ui integration
but sense roms are very plain.. theres things i miss about it here and there but not as much as i enjoy playing around with cyanogenmod roms and customizing every little bit of it
I'm personally torn between the two, but that's the nice thing about the Nexus One (especially when the bootloader has been unlocked).
I'm a fan of Sense, and it's the only UI I like. There's just something about it, and I think a few of you touch upon some of the reasons why I like it. I don't know if it's because it makes the phone seem more user-friendly, but I know it's something. It just feels solid. As far as functionality goes, it makes the phone feel like it has a fully-functioning OS. There are just so many little unique customizations that make the phone more user-friendly.
On the other hand, I'm a big fan of CM7. Quite possibly the best iteration of Gingerbread on the streets. The speed of Gingerbread, especially in CM7, is mind-blowing (especially when you think how far things have come since the early days of Eclair in January 2010). I sometimes feel "homesick" when I'm using a Sense ROM.
I think it boils down to what you want out of your ROM. Sense is rigid. Vanilla Gingerbread allows you to make things how you want it. I will say this though: the stock camera app sucks. The Sense camera is tons better.
Just my 2 cents.
There is no properly functional Sense ROM for Nexus for at least a year.
UI- and usability-wise, since DesireHD's Froyo versions Sense beats both stock Gingerbread and CM7 by a large margin. But unfortunately it can only be seen on Desire, since Nexus doesn't have proper functionality in those ROMs.
I think SenseUI is the better one.
ROM flasher... i flash wherever i want RCADSmix SENSE > CM7 > MIUI .... which one suit the mood..
The gingerbread interface is better Pure android experience!
So after realizing I don't have a boat load of time to read through all the sense based roms on the dev page I was hoping I could get some insight. I use aosp ROMs and "senseless" Roms only so I have been out of the Sense based ROM game for some time now. Can anyone reccomend a good Sense based ROM for my g/f to use as her every day build. She currently has Nik's ROM and doesn't like it due to the fact that it randomly resets itself, I'd fix the problem but I'd rather just d/l something new so she can have that shiny new feeling. If anyone could give me some reccomendations I'd greatly appreciate it (and of course a thanks for anyone willing to help ; ) ).
No ICS and no AOSP / "senseless"
Thanks!
If u want sensed rom, stability n working front camera then try ARHD. If u want sense 3,5 then try nik trinity...but its front camera shows a glitch...
Affinity, perfect rom from Virtuous team.
I would use ARHD forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
ARHD would be a good choice
Hahaha.. i totally understand & i warn you, you better get her something that is flawless or it's all going be your fault
My suggestion, 2 of the totally bug free & awesome ROMs out there
- Virtuous Affinity
- DutchDanny's Bindroid
i have used both of the above the longest among all the others & fell in love with both of them.
Affinity has the stock sense look with tweaks & Bindroid has a little extra color which makes for some good eye candy
and of course, there are NO problems with ANY function on either of the above, so your call
Virtuous Affinity if you ask me. It is just as stable as ARHD, but few more bells & whistles. I particulary liked "smooth rosie" tweak...
wanna impress ur girl? then just use nik's rom loads of tweaks and sense features with TRON themed!!
Welcome to thanks town except for you santhospirate as you appeared to not have read my post.

i would say virtuous or arhd. Or you can try niks 2.0, its way more stable than 2.5 (i don't know which one u are using now.

RCMix.Energized is a good choice, Blue style..
