Rom comparison

Hi all.
Been reading this forum for a while, but only just decided to post.
I've seen a couple of cooked roms for the X1 which seem to be quite popular - one by jackleung and the other by itje.
I was wondering if anyone has an overview and comparison of the various roms available. It'd help somebody new like me to make an informed choice on which to install and weigh up the features available.
Thanks.

honestly, I tried the touch-HD 1.7 rom from Jack which is really complete but quite slow sometimes so I finally took the lite one 1.4 and then add the touch HD as a panel and now I have to say that it's much faster and smooth that anything I've tried before...

i would say its user preference. flash each rom and c which one best fits your needs.

I'd have to agree i tried all 3 of itje's roms and i only liked one. Since there are few custom roms for the xperia u can just try them all. If this was the touch pro thread i'd say we need some sort of chart

x1 will be x1...
rom without penal but touch flo, it seems a hd's rom...
no penal is okay,'cause we could install it by ourselves...
how about use the original rom of X1...
i get the rom kitchen,but i have no idea to cook rom..

I think its a great question, and a good idea for ppl to exchange thoughts about the different X1 ROMz. Without criticize the cooks ofc.

Why don't we vote for the best customed rom here?

Dear all,
I think everyone will say that your ROM is best but let the reality tell you the truth. I think we should make a vote for the best ever ROM here up to now then everyone can decide to use it and the orthes must improve their ROM again to compete.
I think after 01 months (maybe 02 or 03 months) we will vote again to choose the winner here.
What do you think about this?
P/S: I think firstly we can list down about 10 favourite ROMs here then we choose the best one? In the other hands, we can ask the voters for the reason why they decide to vote and hence we have a list brilliant features and someone will build a BEST EVER ROM based on these.

because seeing the ratio of releases from our cookers we should vote at least every 3/4 days
and after all, preferring a rom over another is only matter of personal opinion

it's so difficult, I've tried every single rom in this forum, and even with that on my side is very difficult

All are Good and All are bad.. hahaha

I think firstly we can list down about 10 favourite ROMs here then we choose the best one?

Is it a boring topic? Everyone?

Yeah, great idea, but maybe should confirm some index first, such as stable, speed, interface, multiple etc. In the meantime, you should provide some software tool to test.

Yes, i think we should do it

Wonderful thread. Indeed this is the missing link in this ROM forum.
I have found gtrab Pure Update Ram released Jun 13 very stable. No bugs actually. Will vote that on my list.

i vote for smaberg's 10.0 touch X extreme
i tried alot of roms
even some early roms for smaberg
but his last rom by far , most stable, fast
and do everything as it should be

well good idea.. but y dont u start so long and put the most important ones 4 now on the 1. post...SEX1, WCX, Kid DC's, Touch X, Touch It, Energy Rom Jacks and so ooon... mayb even as a poll? and if 1 is missin we can always add...

Is Cyanogens new ROM the best?

There are lots of new roms out since 4.1.11 and I am wondering what is the general thoughts on his new version? Is it better than the last one? Is another rom better?

No one can tell you honestly what's the best ROM cos there simply isnt one universal one. Everyone have their own preferences. But IF there was a best ROM, it would be undoubtedly cyanogen's. And that's saying alot. In Cyanogen we trust

It really depends on the person. I currently use 4.1.11 and love it. I've use most of the roms out there and prefer his the best. Your best bet is to try each one out for a few days and see which one suits your needs. Use the rom switcher script, there is a link in my sig, to back up your roms so you can easily switch back when if you like one over another. Cyanogens are by far the most popular and typically don't require anything special. His is a good rom to begin with.

It isnt the BEST...well...because its BETA...his next should be the BEST!!! (IMHO).....But..To each their own.

I love the 4.1.11.1 it`s stable for me. But 4.1.99 is the new tree for following updates!
I think

[Q] Roms (only pros & cons of you exerience [BE POLITE AND DO NOT INSULT ROMS])

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT TELLING PROS AND CONS OF ROMS YOU HAVE USED AND NOT TO FIND OUT WHICH IS THE BEST
Hello guys!!!
I decided to have a second rom on my z1 so i want to ask you which is your favorite rom and why? before i choose

C'mon you know these threads are not allowed. Something I like will not always be something you like, just flash away and enjoy finding one YOU personally like :silly:

Well, there has been much discussion lately about this
I am going to let this one go and see where it ends up. If it ends up in trolling/flaming then I will delete and infract as needed. However, if this stays sensible, polite and we talk about the various pros and cons of the ROMS with actual facts (Not conjecture or hear say) then I say this may be worth while.
I will be watching.

As you said i just want to hear pros and cons from members who have already use them (thats why i asked "and why?") nothing more

Speaking strictly as an end user, my opinion is that even the pros and cons can come down to your intended use and personal preference. Although my experience has mostly been with the HTC One, I've recently purchased a Z1 and am awaiting its arrival. For the most part, the ROMs are the same between the devices, especially with the AOSP ROMs.
The HTC had Sense which is the stock HTC ROM. I think the parallel would be the stock ROM for Z1's and HTC One's as opposed to the Google Play or AOSP ROMS.
Some ROM's come loaded with features cooked in and some are more bare bones. I found that the bare bones were more to my liking and I ran AOKP on my HTC. It consistently ran smoothly and never hiccuped when I would run Garmin Connect to transfer data from a fitness device. Some of the others did not function quite as well in this. To be fair, the problem was with Garmin as their devices are pretty finicky. Also, my personal preference was to add in only those features I wanted instead of having them already there. Xposed allowed me to do that. Another feature I looked for was continued development on the ROM I used.
My advice is to think of ROMs as dating. Try many then try some more. Give them all some time, don't just flash a new one every day. You need to see how each one functions through your typical daily use.
That was my two cents as a user and not a dev. I will add one thing, hit the thanks button for every ROM you try and when you settle on one, make a donation. I hope this helps, I really didn't want to start naming ROM's. As soon as my Z1 arrives, I'll root it and try a couple of stock ROMs. After that I'll probably end up back with AOKP. One other thing, I actually had a stock based ROM, Maximus HD and AOKP both set up and backed up so I could switch if I felt the need.

Just rooted and unlocked this morning, help me figure out a ROM?

I'm looking for functionality, little or no bugs, I am looking to stick as close to stock as possible with the option to customize if I wanted to. I know there are a ton of ROMs and I could spend ages scouring them for the one that might be right for me.

Did you install twrp also? You will need that to flash anything... might want to back up what you currently have before flashing also. If you like the stock feel, you can always wait until xposed comes out of alpha and start your customizing with it too.... lots of good info here if your not familiar with it. As far as UI is concerned you don't necessarily have to flash a custom rom, you always try a few different launchers on for size first.... Nova is pretty popular apex is another.... I am using action 3 right now which I like...

I would suggest clean ROM for a very stock like experience and then install MCR mod pack. This is my setup and I love it.

Cleanrom and sinless. Both stockish and super stable.

Stock. If you're not going to try for yourself, then you shouldn't go sheep.

OP you should really look around the development forums, you can't expect what works for other people to work for you as well. Usually down the line, you'll have a question and you'll want to be searching for the answers, not to ask others for the answer when the answer to your question has already been answered.
Everything in life, you can't just ask for it. Similarly to your decision to purchase what car, what college you want to apply to, etc... all of that you can't just ask someone. That's something for you to determine for yourself. Except the difference here is that all ROMs and kernels are free, be adventurous and try them all out (or at least the ones you found interest into).
My recommendation to this is to look at ROMs based on the following criterias,
- Popularity... how popular is the thread? Why is it popular?
- How frequently does it get updated? Do I like to flash ROM updates daily/weekly?
- Read the last couple of pages (or skim) and see what other users have been saying about the ROM
