Are there even any more Vanilla/plain ROMs around? All I see are based off Diamond, Xperia, and the Raphael.
i agree , me too
NOOOO!!!!!
People mods have been closing threads like this for a reason!
This is a personal choice matter. LOOK at what ROMs are available and what's installed on them. And if you a feeling frisky try them. But we are NOT going to spoon feed you!

Well said.........read and learn.
No but what I meant is that can't we have a vanilla ROM somewhere in the mix too? What if I don't want all the extras? Hmmph... Guess I'll have to use the normal HTC ROM then...

We can and do have Vanilla ROMs, You just have to open your eyes and look.
By typing this next sentence I am going against my every fiber and answering the unanswerable; maybe that makes me a hypocrite. But if you want a "Vanilla ROM" Look for "lite roms" or "nothrills' releases"
Yeah I know we have vanilla/lite/nothrills ROMs, but they're all based on some other device, usually Raphael, Xperia, or Diamond. How about a vanilla 6.1 based on Kaiser?
Erm, weren't the last 2 ROMeOs (v3.1 and/or v3.5) based on stock Kaiser ROMS?
This no good??
There are a ton of light (vanilla) roms if you just take the time to look
Here is a good list of available cooked roms:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Cooked_ROMs
Two of my favorite light 6.1 roms are Sleuth255's v3.0 and kyphur's v3.0
Anyway, just look through the wiki link and find one that suits your needs.
EDIT: By the way, both Sleuth's and kyphur's 3.0 roms are based off a rom made for the 'kaiser'
C'mon guys. There are plenty of lite "kaiser" roms. There are just no brand spanking new ones.
Question asked and answered.
Thread Closed.
Thank you for understanding.

(Oh, please don't kill me!)
I'm totally confused, on the net I'v found many people recommending mny different ROMs and I really don't know which to choose.
I'd like to be:
- As fast as possible.
- Lightweight (possibly Total Commander, Opera, RAR...), I can overload it with useless aplication myself
- And I don't want it to be BLACK, no! Green, blue, turquoise... anything like this is OK.
I'm thinking about "HyperDragon III Lite WM6.1 WWE ROM - Based on Diamond ROM CE OS 5.2.20273 Build 20273.1.3.3." ROM, but it is black, what I don't want.
Or austinsnyc's "OEM 5.2.19212 Lightly Customized"?
Or Laurentius26's L26_KaiserDiamond_V9? (black)
Thanks

YOu know why you can only find a lot of closed threads, and no clear "best rom" answer? Because there is no such thing...i can almost feel the hammer coming for this thread...soon it will be closed, so i will get my post in while i can.
As for the rom being black, just download some new themes that you do like, put them in the root of your storage card, and then you can select them on any rom you install by going into settings--today

I know there is no best, but it seems to me that recently some new ROMs ported from other devices come (Diamond, Omnia), so that's why I'm asking.

You rang sir?
Please please please with sugar on top. Don't be lazy. Look at what each ROM includes and use your best judgment to make a decision. Also there are plenty of user testimonials in the specific threads themselves how the ROM runs.
Hello All!
Before some of you start blasting me, I have searched and Googled everywhere for a 2.2 ROM with a theme that might be simliar to Windows Mobile 6.5. I like it because it has a clean look with the missed calls and appointments available for the home screen. I thought I saw one ROM theme once that had one very similar to the WM 6.5, but after searching everywhere, I couldn't find it. If it is out there, please point me in the correct direction? But if so, I am actually willing to pay for a theme similar to Windows Mobile. I am currently running VirusROM with SENSE. Thanks for your help!

Sorry, I clicked on the wrong section. By the way, there is no need to be a prick. Like the first responder, all you had to do was leave it to what he said.
I made a Windows-ish theme but it was for 2.1, might work on 2.2, all you can do is try it.
It was my first attempt ever at a theme, so it wasn't anything spectacular. I'll find you the link.
Edit:
Here is the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7115654&postcount=1
Ack: to each his own Android's homescreens can be set as simple or complex as you want.
BUT look for "Zune Home" in the market. That may be near what you want.
Honestly, I think what I am really looking for is a widget for the home screen so I can see the information similar to Windows Mobile 6.5 (Missed Calls and Mail/Messages). That is all I am looking for. I'd love to be able to use my SENSE ROM. I have even tried Executive Desktop (or whatever it is) and e-Today, but they didn't quite fit what I was looking for (although e-Today was close).
Thanks!
Well I was on facebook, amd droiddog posted this, im not going to post the screenshots here but... i will give you guys a link on where to obtain them!
http://www.google.com/m?hl=hd&gl=us...=android-browser-type&action=devloc&q=miui+v4
Im excited as i always seem to go back to the original MIUI rom for the 3D.. what about you guys?

Sorry that is the link... im on my phone atm!

It looks nice. I've always considered MIUI to be the marriage of Android's usability with Apple's design...but then I saw Ice Cream Sandwich. Even these screenshots don't dissuade me, as nice as they are.
I have to say, though, that the MIUI team is really good at design.
I've ran miui on my phone before cm9 came and out I'm looking forward to the miui ics release. I love how much you can customize miui.
I love my Nexus S more and more everyday!
How will MIUI implement the multitasking UI? I'm guessing they will put their own spin on it but I am wondering if they have released any materials regarding this.

lets hope they will release this for the htc desire
I heart MIUI that was my go to rom for my D1. Now that the dev are getting close to getting it to the X2 I'm really looking forward to some more MIUI fix.

Hey all,
I just got ahold of a Rogers SGSII for the sole purpose of flashing and experimenting with.
I'm just curious, what are some of the more unique ROMs out there? I know we frown on "what's the best ROM" thread, but that's not what I'm asking. I know about some of the high performance ROMS, tha'ts not what I'm after. I'm looking for something that's truly different from Touchwiz or Stock Android. Doesn't have to have great battery life, or run completely flawless, but something cool and different. It's currently running CM10.1, looking to change it up a bit.
Any suggestions would be great.
This thread is uniquely veiled as worthless. With that said try flashing all the ROMS here. Then mix different parts of them together in your own build. That would be unique. And most likely not worthless. Good luck
All of them are unique.

Avatar or paranoid android to start then pacman as it has lots of features from each branch. The first two will get you a different look and feel then try pacman.
Launchers play a large roll in how you interface with the rom . if you like a ROM maybe try a different launcher we all have our favorites.

Most interesting rom is MIUI, Rogers Jellybean is right behind it and then Embryo.

I am looking for a good ROM for my Nexus 5. I am looking for a ROM that is rock solid stable and is good on battery life. Features in a ROM are nice but I don't need all kinds of features. Stability and battery life are more important to me than extra features. Currently I am running purity ROM which I like but I still occasionally get bug reports that pop up so the stability is not perfect. Anyone have any good suggestions for me? I hope this is not against the forum rules. I did read the sticky. I am not asking for "The best ROM". I just want to know what ROM is a good one for me based on what I have told you. I really don't have time to flash ROMS and test them all for myself.
Disclaimer:
I know this is probably a common question but please refrain from telling me to search, try ROMs for myself, or tell me something like it is all up to user preference. I am asking a question in the questions board and if you have some good insight for me please post. If you don't just move along please. I am a college student and don't have time right now to flash all kinds of ROMS and try them for myself.
