Well folks, the time has come, every mid month I will start this poll, and when the month ends I will end the poll and post the results in my wiki and thread!
Since this is the first voting thread, there is going to be an introduction .
I want to have a list where people can be specific and choose one ROM, but what if you don't know what to choose? This is what will help.
Poll Has Started!
Will end January 31st, at 11:59:59PM
Any new ROMs will be added in this poll that are released before Jan 24th.
Please, don't post in here requesting advice on what ROM to get, this only a voting thread. If you want to know what ROM to get try some out and use the one you like. Then vote here for the ROM you like the most.
Mods, delete irrelavent posts please
Also,
CHO HTC is the PhamQuang ROM
Please add also PhamQuang ROM (PDAViet)
I think he changed the ROM's name to CHO HTC. You can check my list if you'd like .
Marketing study for cooked ROMs!
HI Tito! i find this thread extremely useful and informative, good idea! It would be even more interesting if cookers would disclose the number of downloads of their ROMs. This is important for everybody as a sort of "marketing study" to understand what the other members are looking for. I was very surprised in noticing that there are less than 0.2 posts per download, and most of the users just silently download the ROM and happily use it! Only when you have issues and/or specific requests - then posts shows up
For example, in my ROM we have achieved 1398 downloads up to now.
Another interesting "marketing" consideration: first users (the techno geeks alias "early adopters" ) downloaded almost only from rapidshare, but when roms stabilize it is mediashare which is mainly used (the early adopter testing validates the ROM for "real users" ) ! i am sure this is correlated with the different use of the PDA.
Sorry Tito, but my last Rom it's called Dark Red and no Dark Blue, I've changed it, how probably I make a new version!
Oh, thanks for the tip, but can you PM me when ever you guys have a change? I don't want this to be error reporting, I want people to post their feedback if they have any , like pzuccel did .
Thanks,
Tito

BUMP . Hey people I want your feedback.
Hi,
I am brand new to the ppc and flashing scene.
I read a lot of articles about flashing cooked roms and their pros. Unfortunately I don't have that much time at the moment but I'd better like to flash my HD now rather than later so that I don't need to backup so much data.
I'll have enough time to tweak it a bit and change some registry stuff, installing programms etc but not for flashing it every two weeks.
So I ask you what ROM should I use? Should I go for an official ROM? I would use Duddys or Laurentius if they are really stable. Duddys seems to be great but I fear that I have a lmost no time to care for bugs.
Are there any bugs in Duddys? Which ond would you recommend me to use?
There are bugs in almost everything. Nothing es perfect . Its all up to you, but this isn't the place to post this , a PM would have been better. Check out the blackstone list in my sig. It has more ROMs listed(well its updated, I cant seem to update this poll. . . .). Its all up to what you like and need.

I don't think the poll is turning out quite fair because the multi roms are getting votes from all languages so of course they will get a more weighted response. Maybe there should be a WWE category for each rom that is multi. Then you could compare like votes.

But thats only part of a rom, most people will go for a wwe rom and put in a different language, they probably voted for it because they like what the cook put inside his ROM(not just a language).
PhamQuang ROM (PDAViet) rom is my vote but its not on the poll..

I am currently using one of the multi ROMs, so I agree that many people like them, including me. I have a statistical background so I couldn't help but open my mouth Anyway, it is all in fun and doesn't have to be statistically perfect
I vote for R3D Dark Red, it's really fast and stable, i've no problems with any application, great work my friend Roby
Voted for Dutty ... Kudos to him for giving us these wonderful roms

...well, let's see the positive side: you wrote my name correctly 25% of the times
but don't worry, i complain just to keep your thread high in the list (actually, this is one of the few threads that should be sticky...especially if you would spell my name correctly...)
My favorite
[ROM][WWE][Jan 19]Slim 1.1, Barebone 1.2 [CE OS 20764][UPDATED Jan 20]
There are several ROMs out there for the Captivate which makes it difficult to select one. Yes I know I could just try each one, but maybe we could have a voting thread. This way it would a least give someone like myself a place to start.
I'm sure all the ROMs are great in their own way. If we can start a thread like that, or just use this one, I'd like to see which ROM the person is voting for along with the reason why they think it's the best one.
It would also be nice to have a locked thread that's only editable by the ROM developer to describe his or her ROM. This would also make it easier to select a ROM to use.
That's why screen shots really help me choose which ROM to try. I don't care if it's the dev or just someone who has tried the ROM and wants to post how it looks. Yes, I want the ROM to be snappy, but I also care about the UI.
I like your idea, but it's almost like asking what flavor of ice cream (or froyo? ) is the best: everyone has an opinion and no one is truly 100% correct since it all boils down to personal preference.
Ill start. Axura then di11igaf

Sorry guys we dont do best rom threads or voting polls as there is No BEST rom just best for you. I am gonna close this up as if you would have done a search you would have found the thread that was already started and closed.
Poll : Which Custom Rom you are running?
Not trying to be funny, but many people here change roms more than they changed their underwear. So the poll will be flawed.
Very true. I was on Doc's a couple days ago, then went to Darky's 9.5, and yesterday changed to Simply Galaxy Sweet Honey
1) Is this post development? I don't think so.
2) Is this post necessary? I don't think so.
3) As previously stated, is this poll accurate? I don't think so.
Why bother?
Yes you are right that people are always on the move.....I know this will be not 100% accurate but at least at this instance of time it can give us an idea (say 80% accuracy) about Market Trend (means popularity of rom) at this time (lets say Mar/Apr 2011) with current available ROMs. It may change in a month or two. But then in next quarter we may run another poll...

This thread should be in General.. that's why you'll not have a good answer here. (It's typically "noobish" to post questions or poll here, unless it's for developping something by yourself or with some dudes..)
And, on my opinion that's useless, all custom rom or more or less the same : A Sammy Rom deodexed and zipaligned, changements are tweaks... it's made me laugh when in themes OP specify it's for Doc's or Darkyy (of course it will works on both, only version/region is important).
For me no matter which rom you're using, it's Android.
If there is just one difference, it's between CM/MIUI AOSP based roms and Sammy'roms.
Same for kernels, it's just more or less functions and geeking/tweaking.

You are wrong! I will be very happy! Oh btw, a full general is only a 4-star general. maybe you can become a field marshal?
I'm way past on jealousy.
Your doing it wrong, missing some of the major roms.. Loving the hate in this thread btw. Good to know XDA is not only about sharing is caring, love, puppies and nuclear war.

Junk threads get junk posts its the nature of the beast........
I'm not surprised that once again the mods have failed to do the job and move this non development thread to general.

Angry ones?
You the kind of poster that only makes this forum section worse.
And this kind of thread violate the forum rules. So think one more time before posting junk in dev section.
C'mon guys some more votes & we can get some representative picture here....that what our community is actually using....
iv been using Docs rom for about a week or two now xwjs8 with ADW Launcher barely lags when im not using it.Darky's rom's are gr8 but in the last 3 weeks they've got a little hard to flash and full of stuff i don't use and a little buggy a few times messed up my phone couldn't flash froyo had to revert to eclair kitchen roms are good i can flash them with my eyes closed im waiting for a Stable GB from Darky see what's not
I'm starting this post as a guide for people trying new roms, I thought of asking which rom are you using right now, but that would be a popularity contest.
I've been an android user for a while, but I'm new with the cappy, as a new owner, I didn't know which rom is the best rom around, so far I've tried at least 5 (firefly, darky, apex, stock 2.1, stock 2.2) But I don't wanna say which one I'm using right now cause I don't wanna influence the results of this post.
So, I'm Gonna post all roms I've see and ask the users what you think, please, after voting, talk about your experiences with the roms you've been using, I feel this could help choosing a rom for every new owner.
If I'm leaving a rom out, please let me know and I'll post it.
If you are a developer and you don't wanna see your rom here, please let me know via PM it and I'll remove it.
Alright, I've tried to edit the poll but as it turns out, only moderators can edit polls, so, please, I'll try to contact a moderator to include other roms in the poll, but I don't wanna bug a moderator for every single rom, so, If you guys be so kind, which other roms would you like to see here?
So far I only have one suggestion from xhozt to add victory, I would like to add at least other 5 roms. Suggestions?
This is a bad idea. First off its a matter of opinion and secondly all the dev work hard on their roms, how is it fair to say one is better than the other?

Yes, as choosing a phone its a matter of opinion, and yes, not all roms work the same and they don't have the same performance, are you implying cause they are working hard on their roms they shouldn't be rated?
What you are saying its like saying movies shouldn't be rated cause people work on them.
We should have an honest poll an opinion for guidence, this shouldn't mean we are disregarding other people works, I support all developers, but as a person, I believe some roms I've tried are better than others. The posts I've seen have not helped me making a decision on a particular rom, so far all have been trial an error. Not every rom is perfect, but some are better than others.
On a final note, Its just a poll, I'm just asking people around, if this polls were more extensive, I would ask more questions as memory managment, multitasking performace, etc. But I can only ask one question.
Lol thats different. We are talking about community dev's spending their part time working on projects. Don't know you shouldn't compare or rate.

Sure thing buddy, I'm trying to edit the poll but I cant find where is that option
It is a bad idea only because it has been tried before and failed. Best rom threads are locked because every user has differences in what they like, as well as how their phone reacts to the rom. A search next time could show how many of these threads, including the last rom poll are locked.
Just so you know, you can't edit the poll once it has been created.

I still believe work can be rated, but I'm not rating individual works, Im asking for people's opinion, if a developer has something to say about it, and want their rom removed, I would gladly remove it. I won't do it cause you don't think is right, this is a free site last time a checked.
Another one of these??
No thanks. Closed.
Ok this is only my opinion. I have tried these ICS ROMS.

Doc's Master ICS (v3.1 as v4 is buggy)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462035
and unofficial kang build 4.0.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499730
All of them are great. I haven't tried weui because I didn't like it in gingerbread and I want my ICS experience to be totally new.
Also haven't tried ICSGS because there seemed to be alot of ppl having problems with it.
If you want insane transitions and themeing I'd go with fusion. (eye candy city)
To me Doc's Master ICS (v3.1, as v4 is buggy) and the 4.0.3 kang unofficial build, are the absolute best.
I've never had a sleep death or charge death with either of them.
Gapps are included so that's one less step for someone trying it for the first time.
Also I use glitch 14b3 as the kernel for all my ICS roms cuz it just makes it so damn smooth.
So I'd like to know what you guys think so we can help new memebers who are thinking of jumping on the ICS bandwagon to help them make a decision.
Only you can make this decision, try all and see which fits you best. XDA isn't a competition website, it is where DEVs can prosper. So please refrain from pinning them up in boxing corners and wanting to see a fight...
Well that was not my intention.
I wanted to get the opinions of those who have the knowledge on how to flash and have tried them all. Then they can tell their thoughts to people who are new to ICS so they can then go on to the threads and make up their own minds.
When I started looking at these with the thought of flashing ICS it was so intimidating. Just finding the right place to go was overwheliming.
I have found most ppl on XDA to be helpful. Not combatative. So if they can post somewhere and give their insights on a non development thread where is the harm?
I'm not arguing with you(not saying it in any special tone, just saying), just let reinbeau make the decision on weather this thread should stay...
And it is up to the user to try all. That is XDA rules.
Fair enough. I certainly don't want to break the rules. Thanks for the heads up and letting me know if I stepped over the line on this one.
There is like 10 other "which is the best rom?" post
did you read any of them??
Flash ALL the roms and chose for yourself!
You make the choice
Thread closed
b-eock and jayRokk are correct, best ROM threads get closed here because it's all in how you use your phone and what you find works best for you.
