Which ROM you think is the best and you are using it?

Hello,
i took the ROMS that are currently on the 1st page... I know there are plenty more, but i wanted to use the ones on the first page of this forum....
I used GOT and was pretty happy, used CM and was even more, and then MIUI, but i think i will go back to CM...

Since yesterday I use the CyanogenMod and just wondering why I was with GOT's all this time.. CM is the best. As simple as that.

Froyomod > CM

Froyomod isn't that stable, at least in my case.
CM for Milestone by nadlabak is still the best.

weird, for me any roms beside Froyomod will have that freaking annoying random reboot issue.

FroyoMod having best battery use time

With the latest CM - i never had even 1 reboot... It's probably the smoothest version of a phone i had since my Nokia 6210 back in 2000... (kidding...)
Its definitely the smoothest version i had on my Milestone, and actually no problems whatsoever. First time no reboots at all on my phone..

This.
With CM I just got 48 hours of use on one-charge this weekend, and not a single force-close or crash. Cannot say the same about the other Froyo-Mods

i like miui the best, its very smooth and has the best design and awesome battery life!
i unpluuged it at 6:15 am and now at 4:30 pm i still have 70% battery, and i played 45 minutes angry birds, doodle jump and pocket legends and surfed around the web for at least half an hour, i was writing several sms and phoned some people!
and in my opinion it has the best usability with the integrated battery saver and the smartass governor!

I have tried most of the roms and have concluded that ultimate droid is the most responsive smoothest and the best battery life with the built in over clocking

the rom is only for the Motorola Droid but not for our milestone.. he must accidently picked milestone android developing instead of droid android developing

Telus lite V5... its not up there, but in my experience its blown everything else out of the water.

until now, 2.2.1 still not stable so I decided to use 2.1 and TelusliteV5 is best choice. Smoothest and great battery life.

Cyanogen has rapid development and code is verified which should give best quality but after testing FroyoMod I voted for it because I don't have any issue at this point and it is smoothest rom of all that I have used no mater that it was stock or mod rom.
Foryo has lots of cyanogen goodness and ads its own like crystal talk, gallery 2d

Cyanogen here. Most complete and customisable rom imo. Very fast. Very stable. Rapidly updated to fix bugs as discovered.

Actually I own an evo and you can just google ultimate droid forums and u can find the website you have to register to download it but it is worth the time I promise you

Hello guys!
For now, i'm using the ShadowMod BR.
A rom developed by a guy in my country (Brazil). The project is very good. There's no issues and everything works. I don't know about CM rom's but this rom is very fast and stable. And have all languages support.
So, if somebody want's to try just search on google for ShadowMod BR

ill say chronos rom its what ive been useing and i liek it very fast and stable

I use miui with launcher pro as i get all the setting and apps from miui can add themes
icons etc and still have very stable phone with good battery life

Just bought a droid.

I just bought a droid to mess with when I'm board of my thunderbolt. I'm really excited about the phone because for about 8 months I've really been missing my G2. I know I that I probably wont permanently leave my tbolt for the droid but at least ill have a keyboard again whenever I want it. What smooth roms are there for the droid? I really want to run CM7 or maybe miui. CM7 working nicely on the droid?

If a Droid as twice the RAM a Milestone have so you will have much fun with any GB-ROM.
Because you have the same smal RAM like a Milestone, then you will have a App-Kicking Mono-Task ROM with any GB.
The fastest and smoothest ROM is Eclair (Stock) following by a Froyo based MOD.

For droid if u want gb use liquid gb or project elite they b oth have their cons and pros and a overclock kernel would be good like chevys ULV kernels to save battery if they work and make sure u use supercharged v6 script it helps it run realy smooth and use rzrecovery for recovery and make sure you back up before you so anything you have any other question just ask
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App

Had my droid for almost two years. Been through MANY roms. Standard CM7 is a little too buggy for my liking. And liquid ginger has a bunch of call bugs.
I am LOVING Chevyno1's simply stunning 2.3.4 rom right now. No FC'S or bugs so far. Very stable.
Also running his LV 1000 kernel. But running it at only 800. I've noticed that anything over 800 mhz and the Droid becomes a handwarmer. Plus I've noticed no additional output in performance either.
Lastly yes, absolutely run V6 supercharger. It will make a very snappy phone for ya.
Pm me if you have any questions!

Awesome phone. I've used many ROMs over the past two years but Bugless and MIUI are my favorites.

Peter Alfonso has a pretty good AOSP Gingerbread ROM that I'm currently running in tandem with Chevy's low-voltage 1GHz kernel. It's basically a stock ROM with a few minor modifications. GPA16 is good, and GPA17 is currently in open beta but I use it as my daily driver without issue.

I tried CyanogenMod7 on my (now on warranty) Milestone, and I have to say.. CM7 is great, but, I really want a usable phone, the last days with my phone and CM7 I couldn't use the browser, after I tried to click on some link of google search, the browser close.. And if this happen on the browser, just imagine how was with other apps.
But, according to what I'm reading, CM7 RC14 is great.. Maybe when I have my phone back I'll try it, but for now I'll try FroyoMod.
BTW, Android 2.3/CM7 just bring to us 2 big things: SIP calls and be able to use Google Talk with voice and video, so, maybe is not a big enhancement.

Have tried both CM7 and MIUI, but sticking with CM7 for now.

And, here I'm with my new Milestone phone (changed by warranty)...
I decided to go with CyanogenMod 6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155454). This is a really great ROM, and for my, 14 hours of charge using the phone is pretty good

Best Overall Rom

Hey so I was curious as to which rom is overall best on the I9000, in terms of a combination of newness, ram space(speed) and stability, cause I understand that the newer the update, the less the ram? I am currently using JVR
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

i have found the best experince on these roms
Hybrid rom
Cyanognmod 7.1
insanity
amestris
i have to go with cyanogenmod 7.1 or hybrid
super fast

Although i have not tried any recent roms on XDA. I found Tornado JVT to be the fastest and most stable. Although i personally don't think the quadrant score really makes a difference i get a max of 4100

currently im running the Teamhacksamsung ICS port, but the most satisfying ROMS have been the ones out of Darky's kitchen...!

I found them to be the slowest.
The ota is a nice feature though.
Im quite happy with my current combo: jw1+semaphore+thunderbolt (on ext4)
The fastest rom is cm7 but the ram managent is bad so you would have to install thunderbolt to make it fast the whole time instead of the first hour(s).
Cm7 has not so good battery life, but if youre fine with charging twice a day its the one to choose

how do you even get that Rom? ive tried so hard looking for it but i end up on some sight in foreign language, its like a secret cult or something, no-one talks about it it its supposedly the best. lol XD

For sure MintBerry MIUI if it should be MIUI.
Jetpack ROM 8.0 if it should be a Samsung ROM.
But waiting for MIUI 4.0 port no I´m not using the Galnet version...

Just stay at JVR or upgrade it to a newer official ROM.
Only in this case u'll get phone with a full set of working features, especially camera and hardware accelerated video playback.
Yeah, official ROMs are maybe not as smooth and don't have such comfortable UI, but at least it works as supposed without any big issues.
i9000 is my 2nd device, first was Spica, so i used to use lots of different roms and my experience says that there's no ROMs better then official one.

I'm using Mintberry MIUI with the Thunderbolt script and I'm finding it to be pretty smooth. CM7 is also very competent in performance.
However, the thing with these AOSP ROMS is that they lack the Samsung framework so video playback, camera, etc don't run as smoothly.
I've always found stock ROMs to be the best overall ROM as long as you flash a kernel like Semaphore or Tornado, I just like to use Mintberry MIUI because its aesthetics suit me better than stock

Which ROM to install?

Hello,
I have my A853 Milestone for about a year and a half.
Currently I have the HO!NO! Cyanogen mod installed on it.
The problem is that the device is very slow, it always crash and games are super laggy (like Angry Birds) or it crashes (like Draw Something).
Which ROM should I install?
I want it to be stable, quick and run games like it should run them.
Thanks

I've had my OG droid for over two years, and I think I've tried every possible ROM there is. The Gingerbread ROM are nice, but they lag really badly on the device. It doesn't have the CPU or memory to handle it well enough. You could do it, but things like the camera and games will almost always end up bogging the device to unresponsive.
I've had the best luck with Liquid Frozen Yogurt 1.95. It s a 2.2.1 ROM (Froyo) and it is really smooth. The camera actually works which is a problem for most of the GB ROMs. Bugless Beast is also a good ROM.

well I'm trying to install The Froyo Mod now, I remember it was good + this is 2.2, which the milestone should support much better than the Gingerbread - 2.3.

Lol, sorry

Nothing I did could get the gb roms to run smoothly. The OG droids just don't have the ram.
Sent from my A500 using XDA

I installed TheFroyoMod 2.9.3 and now the device is much better.
It runs smoothly, Draw Something actually works (pretty smooth), it's stable and I recommand you to install it too.
It makes sense because the device officially support 2.2 and not 2.3, it has resources for 2.2 but not enough for 2.3

Rom
I play zenonia in froyo mod with minimal lags. I think it is the best rom for gaming.

I liked cm6 for battery but cm9 was running really good on mine

What's wrong with CM 7.2.0 RC1 by kabaldan? I'm planing to install it on my 2.2 stock ROM but retain the 600mhz frequency for battery life reason. Would I suffer worse performance than my current stock?
thanks

I'm in the same boat as the OP.
I am setting up my friend's OG Droid and I'm curious the best ROM.
I have to say I'm pretty happy with CM 7.1 stable release so far. It works great so far and I haven't noticed any problems. The camera seems fine.
Is GB really that bad?
I did try CM 7.2 experimental build (from CM download page) and it was working great until I noticed that the flashlight app, torch wouldn't work. I really wanted it to work in the Power Widget. After screwing around with it for quite a while, I ended reflashing back to CM7.1 stable.
Assuming games won't be games played on the device, I think that CM7 is the way to go unless there are more RAM-hogging apps running. I'm a newb to the OG Droid though.
*EDIT*
P.S. Do you guys have a favorite recovery? I am using CWM 2.5.0.1. The weird thing is it doesn't display Dalvik as wiped when I wipe Dalvik Cache. I dunno if it is a problem or not. I actually searched around a fair bit. What is the best recovery for the OG Droid? Stability, nandroids, and functionality are key. I don't care about touch interface.
Thanks. Feel free to flame me if I am overlooking this info.

recovery i use minimod, hava any scripts (supercharge), unistall system apps, backup apps and have a script to wipe a ext partition.
I used all roms for milestone and cm6 (or shadowmod discontinued a long time ago ) is the best, the only one it works fine, another roms always have a problem with performance (i don't play in my phone).

I have been runnning a rooted overclocked (800mhz) stock rom for ages, but still had issues with it freezing when surfing and quitting apps.
Yesterday I finally got round to changing to CM 7.2.0 RC1. Performance is so much better, more options, smoother scrolling, but the battery life is worse. I had to charge it twice today which is usually a rare occurance. So I have knocked it back down to 800mhz again from 1ghz, setup the 2g toggle, and made a few other tweeks. Will see how that does for now, but if not then will look into battery calibration.
I rarely use my phone for gaming, so couldn't comment on the performance, but if its anything like what I experienced elsewhere you should be happy. Slightly earlier builds have been mentioned to have a better battery life too.
Hope that helps

Best ROM on the Milestone right now? MIUI 2.4.20 hands down.
Damn... new users can't post outside link but Google it.
And btw, it seems that the ROM was designed for Chinese Milestone so the physical keyboard layout is kinda messed up if you use Europe or HK milestone. And since I don't use the physical keyboard at all so it's not a huge problem. But seriously, this is the best damn thing you can put on a Milestone, try it out
Cheers

While it will probably work better than a stock ROM, I'd suggest you try a Froyo based ROM. The biggest issue with GB on a Milestone is the RAM. I tried out every single workaround I came across for over a year, only to end up going back to CM6 (vikasbn's version).

That's the one I'm currently using and so far it's worked like charm. It's also the only one that seems to be updated.

Hello everyone,
I have an A853 (Milestone). I am looking for advice on what SBF and ROM to install, and how to optimize the performance.
I hope it is ok for me to join this thread (instead of opening a new one). Below are my concerns; I am looking forward to advice from experienced forum members (reading from your posts, you definitively are experienced):
1. underlying firmware (OS)
If I understand correctly, due to the locked bootloader I can only change which kernel I will be running by flashing a different SBF file:
- SHOLS_U2_02.31.0 (I believe this is stock Eclair?)
- SHOLS_U2_05.26.3 (and this should be stock Froyo?)
Which SBF should I flash my phone with, so that the ROM I will later choose will work best? Of course, I'll apply a vulnerable SBF afterwards.
2. ROM
I am most keen on MIUI (the latest and final build for this device is 2.4.20?), since I was using it before and I really like its user interface. However, I experienced some problems with it (unresponsive/laggy, not receiving SMS messages after some time, etc.).
Is the MIUI-derivate NIMIUI any better? Moreover, I saw there is another ''chef'' quynhnt that is further developing NIMIUI but I see user responses that it is kind of buggy?
I've tried FroyoMOD which seemed the fastest to me (although I would be really missing MIUI features), however it did not let me connect to my home WiFi (WPA2+AES+Radius) so I let it go.
ICS seems kind of no-go to me because Milestone only has 256MB of RAM (which is very little); I've tried the unofficial alpha CM9 and although everything worked, it was just too laggy. I believe the unofficial MIUI v4 would be the same.
Any suggestions? I am leaning towards official MIUI but with thorough testing of incoming SMS (I can't afford not to receive them) and additional optimizations that are decribed below. Or am I missing something?
3. optimizations
SuperCharger
Definitively I would like to use the SuperCharger V6 (or is it V8 - any differences?). Which settings profile should I select based on the following demands:
- I don't play games on my phone
- I want a responsive phone with no lag
- The most demanding app I use is Exchange sync (6 accounts), nothing more
Build.prop modifications?
Should I take care of anything here? Maybe change the Dalvik heap size (to what?)
ext3 on sdcard
Can this somehow help me? I have prepared a functioning ext3 partition on my sd, I just don't know if it is possible to somehow manage a swapfile on it and if this should help my phone being less laggy? Can MIUI handle this out-of-the-box?
I kindly thank to anyone who would be willing to help me with advice.
Best regards, d11

I got an OG Droid i use for multimedia... The screen is crystal clear with LIquid Smooth... the launcher sometimes gets buggy but everything works including torch etc... It basically made an old system useful again. I'll try out other system and post my results... Froyo versions first and so on...

[Q] Why ICS on i9000?

I really dont understand why everyone loves ICS on the galaxy s so much. I am using it now, but im getting quite a few problems. Its pretty unstable, and compared to GB its pretty slow in terms of CPU and animations. I would like to go back to gingerbread, but on ICS the Play Store is so fast, and the whole OS looks nice, what gingerbread rom do you guys this is fast and stable? I guess I can tweak the rest..
Thanls

Check out DarkyROM v11 Black Edition, a CM9 based slick ICS rom. Very fast, stable and smooth! You will never want to go back to GB!!

If you have time, try different ICS roms and kernel and choose the best rom for your sgs

I'm using CM9 and its awesome. super smooth and fast. way better than my experience on GB.

ICS? Haven't seen any better for my i9000!

use debil kernel and cm9..

Use Slim ICS v 4.0 or 4.1 (stock kernel) its the most stable ROM i've ever seen.
-> 500h Uptime and no random reboots
-> 2 days battery life with normal usage (sms, telephone, internet/rss)
-> btw. my Battery is 2 years OLD
-> really really really smooth
-> you should only change this ugly stock launcher to your favourite launcher (i prefere Apex Launcher for example :good
;D
greetings
Ehomer

I use cm9 with devil kernel and I get a day of battery with a 2 year old battery. It is EASILY 4x faster than gingerbread. I almost ripped out my hair for the first 6hours I had the phone I get no random reboots or anything, its super stable

Use a different ROM ...I use Remics-ux...Stable,fast,smooth. Try it and you get the answer

Clean AOKP 1.1.6 on my SGS. There is no troubling issue since then. The stock froyo DDJP2 was a big pain in the neck. The main advantage of all ICS builds is its open source so the build size is mostly 80mb to 150mb thereby saving precious size on the phone. The more stock elements and libs in the rom and more ram usage and more lags. ICS may have slow scrolling on some roms/devices but overall its absolutely a try. There is nothing much in a heavy overloaded Samsung bloatware where we don't have so much apps use in daily usage. ROMControl is a very important feature incorporated in ICS roms. LCD density is a superb option for those who prefer 160 to 192 dpi. IME switcher is also good for using custom keyboards. As an example I used a Desire HD till last week and the ICS Icecoldsandwich rom was flawless till the last touch. ICS looks plain vanilla, but it increases the user satisfaction and the true value of hardware is felt. Overall the battery lasts more on ICS builds if not too overclocked. In short, ICS is a platform for all those who were fed-up with the low performing cpu/ram/hardware/software related stock junkware of any phone.

or you could try "tiramislim" itś based on slim ics, but imho its better no bugs, much smoother then gb.
anyway, i think you tried not the right rom. there are so many ics-roms out there, most are quite stable. try different roms, or read the threads of the roms before, then you can see how others think about them

Definitely cm9. :3
