Just out of interest; why is this forum full of people who jump into threads by people the slightest mistake and subsequently make their best effort to slag off/humiliate the OP?
If you don't have anything nice to say, it's probably better to say nothing at all... Does it really totally ruin your day to have to look down one thread further to find the next 'real' dev thread? At least smjfosho explained where to post - you were just 'jumping on the bandwagon.'

You can never go wrong with Cyanogen.
To the contrary Nick, I've found 5.0.* to be really slow for me, I was very disappointed. SpeedTeam latest roms are amazingly fast in comparison. About to try Cannons too.
Thanks up there guys!^
Which Rom do you perfer, CaNNoN's lateest or SuperEs latest? Talking in speed, batterylife, and everyday use

v1.0.1 Super E has it all!
Flash it and you will see for yourself.
Super E.
You get stable (cyanogen build) and you get speed (Ben is crafty). It is the only 2.1 I consider FAST AND STABLE.
Yeah guys!^ it is extremely fast! Im absolutely amazed. When will they fix the spare parts glitch though? Its kinda bugging me since i want a black theme. And you think Cyanogen 5.0.8 Stable is going to be as near as fast as SuperE or more to the CaNNoN speed?
Ohh and i put an avatar, why isnt it showing when i post?
EDIT: Got it.

In regards to the Spare Parts Color selector for the status bar use v1.0.1 to fix that issue for now.
Ben Buchacher is set to release another version of Super E soon, could be that he will use Cyanogen v5.0.8 stable
I am about to flash my first ROM and looking for quick recommendations on a good ROM.
Speed is more important than battery life, and apart from that do have any other specific requirements
Mine.
/thread
No one can give you an objective answer. And this belongs in Q&A.
I don't need anything too specialized yet. Just something recent & popular & widely used. ie the top favourites around here.
Thanks. Will take a look at yours. Are they some of the most popular around here?

Take a look at Doc's. Fastest interface and best GPS I've ever had. Plus you can easily customize your own rom using the online kitchen
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882397
Kitchen: www.romkitchen.org
Serendipity 2.0 is THE best ROM out there as far as speed goes imo.
It will EAT your battery up though since it's oc'ed. I haven't experienced to bad but I can tell with just a lil bit more usage it would drain quick.
I would wait for Firefly (few hours till released) and try that. It's going to be fast, smooth, and perfect without being oc'ed. Will also have great battery life and GPS will work for sure. My friend told me this; he has the beta. Lol
Assonance.

I'll eat my USB cable the day we get a ROM like that.
Thanks guys. That has given me feel for what is popular at the moment.
Now I just need to work out if I can flash a ROM without access to Winblows.

lmao! Thats something I'd almost be willing to pay to see!
Darkys v8!
Extremely stable, very fast, GPS is decent, battery life is *meh* i get about 12-13 hours on heavy to moderate usage but I charge it on my way home from work in the car.
Gingerbread themed, a lot of customation, very active developer, updates come out very easy to install ect.
Just my 2 cents
My recommendation is to become an addict and try them all.

I am currently running Dorian's XXJPY 2.2.1 on my Captivate.
I was looking at some ROMs tonight and saw a bunch that sounded really great. Is there anything better, faster, more stable?
I don't want to overclock or do anything fancy, I just want battery life, speed and stability.
Thanks for helping a noobie at this stuff! I never knew the community was THIS big!
I just flashed Cognition 3.02. Look in the developer portion and read his mission. It looks exactly like what you are looking for.
It's generally regarded as one of the best. I like it a lot, and upgrading is so fast with clockwork recovery.
Please move to q&a.
Sent from my liberated Captivate via XDA App.
If it is just speed and stability you are looking for then you should take a look at Cognition. The past week lots of nice ROMS were released so if you find Cognition lacking to your taste you can easily switch to something else like Perception or Serendipity. Phoenix is highly themed but still a nice ROM if that's what you are into.
Whatever ROM you choose, make sure you do research, it's impossible for someone to completely fill you in about the pros and cons of each ROM since they are changing in a weekly basis. And take your time following directions so you don't end up with an expensive paper weight.
Cheers and good luck.
Hard question to answer. My advice is just pick one to start with...you'll end up flashing non-stop once you start...trust me. I'm using Paragon right now and it's excellent.
Try a few and have fun!

Yeah it is funny cus this thread is just completely opposite
I recommend one with a thread with some hyperbole in the subject line (I realize this is a tall order, but it can be found with some forum searches for superlatives). I would also recommend one in which the developer recommends disabling voodoo lagfix when installing a voodoo lagfix kernel since voodoo lagfix is apparently incompatible with voodoo lagfix.

I second that (although I am a little biased)
Everyone seems to think it makes their phone faster
Woah,
Thanks guys!
Sorry I didn't include this in the first post but I'm actually using Dorian's UGJK3 FroYo - Gingerbread Edition. I really like the theme and the visual effects and I wouldn't want to give those up.
So my question restated is: What ROM would be best for speed, stability and battery life while having a nice visual style/theme?
I really like how the Dorian ROM runs and it is definitely faster than stock. I also love the theming and icons, ect.
Thanks. You guys are amazing!
Use serpendity 3.0 rom its the best one very minimalistic fast and has good battery life

The best way to find out is to test them all your self. No one can tell you what rom is best for you.
I have been waiting for this day to spam this section by such a useless thread
I got my Xperia T today.
my first impression is great.
I liked the screen a lot.
and the phone is very responsive. I can even say that my user experience is better on Sony's ICS ROM than Samsung's JB.
I cannot see any cons now, maybe just the screen being a dust-magnet. it needs a screen protector I guess...
I feel like a noob as this is my first qualcomm phone.

Was the existing "Got an Xperia T" thread not useless enough for you to post in
It's good to see more devs moving over to the T, first Codeworkx and now yourself :good: It's still on my list of what to get next but just waiting on the next Nexus announcement as I'm in no rush. Will be good to see what kernel you come up with, shouldn't take more than a day with you being an ERD right? I'm only joking of course but it's a relatively low activity device at the mo so you may get a bit more peace and quiet then you do with the S2 and S3.
Good luck.

Sorry for being so ignorant.
And yes you are right. It will be more quiet here for me for some time.
I will close the thread and ask a mod to move the post.
I am just too excited when I received the device..

I have an Atrix HD, rooted, with unlocked JB bootloader, and I've also done the MAXX battery MOD. I haven't had this phone long and it seems to be a bit laggy, and a battery hog on the stock firmware. I am not partial to JB or KK so I am pretty open to suggestions. All I am looking for is SPEED, STABILITY, and BATTERY LIFE, and of course the LEAST amount of bugs possible. TY all in advance! :good:
ROM recommendation posts are a dime a dozen around here, and the answer is always the same: figure it out for yourself by browsing the development forums for your phone, and flash the one that fits what you want.
Thanks

Thanks but thats what I've been doing for the past almost 2 weeks now. I only asked because there is ALOT of developement already for this device and it looks like EVERYTHING is buggy as Hell so far so I was really looking for a USEFUL suggestion. But thanks a bunch.

No, not everything is buggy as hell. The majority of them run just fine and are good enough for daily drivers. If you installed one, you'd see for yourself.
I understand that you want a perfect ROM but there isn't one. You've gotta take what minimal bad there is with the good. Even stock ROMs have bugs.
The best advice is to flash a ROM that sounds good and see if you like it. Hell, that's half the fun!
Thanks Dr. Orange

I understand what you are saying, and I have been checking them out, I'm on CM11 now, and have tried Holoblur, and a couple others. I've went through this with literally 13 devices now so I'm not new to this. I was simply asking the community for the best ones that they have used from their experience. I have asked this question on XDA about all of my other devices and normally people respond with just what I said before. Its just a lot easier when I can narrow it down between a handful of ROMs that are DD material.
What has been your favorite so far Doc?
Ah yes! Had to make sure you weren't just asking for the best instead of researching for yourself! I guess I could've been a little more helpful from the beginning...
My most important feature is pie controls, second is tied with customizing options and battery, So right now, carbonROM is perfect for me. I'm running the 8/04 jbbl build and it works great.
I have the MAXX battery mod so battery isn't as important, but I still want it to last all day.
Team Gummy works well too. The only build for our jbbl phone that works is the April build 2.0. It's light and battery life is good too. Also has pie, not as many customizable options.
Those are my KitKat choices, I'm not sure of the 4.3 Roms other than the last time I had a 4.3 PAC ROM installed it worked really well with excellent battery life. 4.3 Roms are arguably the most refined, but development has shifted towards KitKat obv.
That's pretty much all I know.
Awesome!

That my friend is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for the input... I will definitely try your recommendations next. I also did the MAXX MOD on mine the other day with the EB40 battery and cutting of the inner frame, but just like you I definitely want it to be able to last all day. Lol, I know there is no perfect ROM, I just didn't wanna be crack flashing for the next couple months with as many nice sounding ROMs there are for this phone. Either way, your info is extremely appreciated, and thanks for the heads up on Gummy. I typically look at a ROM's OP first to look at the features then look through the last couple pages to see if and what issues it may have. It just got frustrating bc MOST posts end with people all talking about their damn RAZR's in the wrong forum lol. So thank you very much Doc.

4.3.1 unified build from 1 Feb 14 works well and has decent battery life with the battery mod, best battery life i have seen so far was on ATT's stock pre-heartbleed fix revision.
Thank you very much as well palm beach. I'm on Gummy 2.0 now (the one that works) that the doc suggested and I love it aside from some random systemui force closes so I think I will try your suggestion next lol.
