Thanks

Ditto. I have not had a single issue running this ROM (full wipe install after reverting from Das BAMF 2.0).
Not sure what you mean by "solid reasons". This ROM is rock solid (no reboots, no FCs, etc.), fast, gets good battery life, looks great, etc.
BAMF Remix 1.6.3 was running great for me. I loved CM7 but was missing phone calls when I had service.
Now I'm on BAMF Stripped 1.7. For being Froyo and Sense-based, it's a beautiful ROM. Simple and you can flash the AOSP contacts/dialer after flashing the ROM to strip even more of the Sense elements.
I've settled on PlainJane as my daily driver, selectively debloated using the free Super Manager app. I enjoy the stock sense experience. I tried running Das BAMF but I cant get past the font issue in gmail (unread mail looks exactly the same as read mail). That issue by itself is a deal breaker for an otherwise fantastic ROM.

I'm using das bamf 1.7 and I don't have that issue. My gmail read mail is not bold, and it is shaded. Or is it unshaded? Either way, very different. Have never seen that issue with any bamf. Hmm

Well that's good news. Perhaps this was only an issue with 1.6.3 or maybe it was something unique to my phone. Either way, you've given me the perfect excuse to try 1.7!
On a related note, I spend WAY too much time screwing around with the TB. It's easily the best gadget I've ever owned.
Tried pretty much all of them. I settled for the latest rooted RUU. The only one so far that data doesn't drop all the time on. Battery lasts me better. I removed some of the bloated, but stock otherwise.

I am running Weapon G2x with the stock kernel. This ROM has it all and everything works perfectly.

Running CM7 Nighltlies with the faux kernel, very stable and solid. I was running the CM7 Alpha 7 ROM on my sensation but decided to switch mack to the G2x. Must faster and smoother phone in my opinion and it feels more solid in my hand.
Am using my own mix based on stock and Weapon with stock kernel...

G2xTreme
I am running G2Xtreme 1.1.1v2 Faux's 0.1.3-ext4 kernel. Everything works great including the HDMI which was very important to me. I uninstalled cm7 146, WeaponG2x, eagleblood1.07, and trigger0822. Everyone of these great rom's had hdmi problems. But they are all great.
My Antutu benchmark score is 5561 at 1.2 mhz which is just below the Galaxy S 2. When I was running trigger with Faux's latest kernel ( can't remember what it was) my score was 5630 at 1.1mhz which scored me above the Galaxy. I have had this phone for about 6 weeks and didn't even know ROM's existed until i stumbled upon the android reddit page after two weeks of ownership. Now it seems I can flash a rom in my sleep! There is that much info in these forums! How to's and even youtube videos. Amazing, really, that android phones bring so many people together!
I haven't commented enough to post ( noob that I am ) in the dev forum so I would like to say THANK YOU to all the dev's and especially *renocivik* for his very stable, fast, stable, rom.

For those who are using weapon with no problems, has anyone had problems streaming an avi file through the hdmi ? It was very unstable for me. So now I'm curious to see if maybe it was just my plasma tv.
can you post a link to your rom
thanks

Faux GB kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720
I switched from CM7 (faux sv kermel) to Weapon G2X (stock kernel) a couple of days ago. Had too many problems with CM7 connectivity - lost APN, no wifi calling, slow-no GPS lock etc. Most could be fixed with a hard reboot but I found myself rebooting multiple times a day. Gave up after I missed a couple of critical calls.
Weapon G2X seems to be stable. I liked the default layout/launcher etc built into CM7 a little better but with a little work and the Go Launcher I think I now prefer this ROM.
What are the known weaknesses of Weapon G2X btw? I went through the dedicated thread but couldn't really identify any weaknesses. Excuse me if this is a stupid question - I am a noob and still learning about this phone and Android in general having come from Blackberry just a month or so ago!
Cm7 nightly 160. Bluetooth finally works and it works flawlessly. Stock kernel for now.

Weapon no Kernel.
but I am thinking to switch back to EB CM7 + Faux, everything run faster with CM7 roms
CM7 nightly 161, stock kernel. Working good so far.
Been with CM7 ever since LG "bricked" my phone with their GB update and not updating their camera app to GB.
Had faux's 0.4.2 up to nightly 153, but had my APN disappearing and wifi dropping connection (appeared connected, but no data was getting through), so I switched back to stock. I have this problem in 158/160/161 + faux kernel.
I wonder if this is caused by CM7 going to 2.3.7 recently...
Currently running Cm7 Nightlies with Faux 4.2SV CM kernel. It's been pretty stable expect for the data & wifi dropping like mentioned before. But a simple reboot fixes it...and i don't mind rebooting either cos reboot only takes less than 20 secs.
Came from MiUi 1.9.30, which i must say is the fastest ROM i've ever had (atleast for me). Just got really tired of the iPhone look. Then switched to Weapon 2.6...but didn't really like the stock look and reboots took literally like more than 60secs. So i thot i'd try going back to CM7.
After trying miui, cm7, eagle, and trigger, (with various kernels) I settled on weapon. I used both versions of faux's kernel, but I got sick of the five minute boot time, so now I'm on the stock kernel.
I absolutely LOVE weapon. It's lacking some of the customization options of other roms, but the stability more than makes up for it.

Just out of curiosity.. what's the smoothest, best looking gb rom currently available for thunderbolts ? I've been running on a bamf 2.0 remix with a darkhorse theme for a couple months now and haven't checked back for a while. My current rom works smoothly except for a few bugs and since it's been a couple months I thought I'd see if there was anything much better now, worth the time to try out.. thanks!!

Bamf forever 1.0.7 runs very smooth, I highly recommend it
I loaded up Synergy a couple days ago. I haven't noticed a bug yet. Super smooth, looks great, and my battery life is phenomenal! I just noticed they are up to version .264. I'm using 262.

I know its not one of the more popular ones, but I'm running Thunderstick GENII ver. 2.4.2 and absolutely loving it so far. I have tried quite a few GB roms and its one of the smoothest I've tried. Bamf Forever is very nice too, however, so its all a personal preference!

CM7 makes me happy
I've had my TB since launch weekend, and while I've been pretty pleased with it, it's had its fair share of issues (all of which have been well-chronicled in the forums here). Since putting the Cyanogenmod7 ROM on my phone, it's like I've finally gotten the phone I expected when it first came out. Super smooth, fast (I'm OC'd at 1.2Ghz), great battery life (so great that I've stopped using the extended battery and have gone back to the stock one with no trouble getting through a full day), and the customizations are terrific. I especially like the notification bar widgets. It's running GB 2.3.7(!), and I've had working Gtalk Video on the front-facing camera since 2.3.5.
I've had nothing but issues with cm. no 4g, GPS doesn't work but everything else works great. But I need 4g and GPS.
CM7 Makes Me Happy
I had issues with the 7.0 releases, but with 7.1.1 and the latest radios, I've got no trouble at all. You can see from my homescreen image that I've got several bars of 4G signal; that's indoors, and I'm usually getting 7-10Mbps download speeds. It's better outside or in other areas of DC (my home happens to be in a slightly weaker signal area). As for GPS, I've attached a screenshot I took from GPS Test. 219 feet accuracy isn't great, but again, I'm indoors. Outside, I get faster locks, and they're down in the 20-30 foot range. I'm not saying the following applies to you, but I think there are quite a few people that don't understand GPS isn't designed to work indoors. Your device needs to be able to "see" the satellites in order to get quick, accurate locational locks. Anyway, this is my two cents: To sum up, I have great 4G and solid GPS with CM7.1.1.
Where can I find this rom?

You can get it through ROM Manager, or by following this link to the Android Development CM thread, where you can read EVERYTHING you've ever wanted to know about it.

Using this, and it works good. Only thing not working for me is cannot delete mass texts. For some reason they took it down said WIP
Ironically I decided last night to try the bamf forever but my phone was fubar on a permanent download loop on some files so I wiped it and put the darkhorse rom back on t that I had on the sdcard at the time... Now it won't stay on disk drive mode when connected to my PC and the team bamf forums have been down since last night to get either soab or forever bamf... Lol so now I'm. Stuck back on darkhorse remix till the bamf forums come back up... Grrrrrr!!!

Well shiftsense was just as fast and had the same battery life but I recently switched to bamf 1.0.7 and I like it. Lots of mods and themes and same speed, not amazing on battery life but that's okay

I've tried a bunch and have settled on BAMF 1.0.7
i've tried em all, but sticking with cm7 for now.. i loved bamf forever, but switched a few days ago because the call answer and sleep of death bugs were too much for me to handle.
ShiftAOSP for AOSP Rom and my rom for a sense Rom.
how do you run two roms at the same time?
Synergy for me.....the latest build is working awesome for me. Was on bamf soab but the "end call" bug kinda scared me away, other than that it was a good rom. Synergy just works for me

Lol nandroid is my friend we go way back!
I guess my fav is stock rooted. I'm in bamf now and it has some really nice features but I don't see any big advantage over stock rooted. I'm going to try to give bamf a week b4 I make up my mind though.
I'd love an open source rom but I keep reading about one bug after another. I like everything to just...work.

If I run into either of those bugs I'm back to stock rooted. I went into bamf tools and chose 2.1 lock screen so I hope that will prevent the end call bug.
The sleep of death bug wont bother me too much as long as it is very rare and the phone can be turned on. Sleep of death to brick would be bad

Son of a Bliss is awesome. If you like sense 3.0, you'll hate it after you try a sense 3.5 Rom. I always hated 3.0. Too laggy. Sense 3.5 FLIES!!!

BAMF forever, smoothest sense rom out there IMO
I was never an AO5P fan but when i tried SHIFTAO5P HACK3ED and i absolutely love it. However i was a Bamf fan when i first rooted, switched to Infused Theory and loved it when 3.0 was added so i think i will have to try 3.5. I have seen videos and it looks good. Link? im not seeing it in xda, he move like theory did?
Edit: nm google told me
wow his list of bugs looks annoying? =/ ill try but i think it will be a 1 day thing. thats not to say ShiftAO5P Hacked doesnt have bugs but i have foud a few but i can live with them.
Yeah I began with minibamf which was vanilla also then I started messing with cm7 mods and stuff fell.in love, as I progressed I thought shift ao5p hack3d was great but this new romicied iBolt Tom based off OC he aforementioned rom is SOOOOO FAST

Currently running bamf forever 1.11 but i have to pull battery once a day to get rid of lag. I love bamf forever if it didn't lag if anyone knows a fix other than o/c I have done that then msg me. If anyone has tried skyraiders and knows more please let me know. I greatly appreciate it

Back up what you have, then flash Zeus. I'm using It now and its great.
Sent from my ADR6400L
Why don't you just restart it rather then pull the battery daily?
Restarts do no fix the lag issue.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I know how you feel...Bamf11 would be the perfect rom if not for the insufferable lag. It wears on you. I ran it with IMO kernel oc to 1.4 but it was still laggy. Bamf kernel jammed up my phone.
I think some of the earlier versions have less lags but then you are replacing the lag with some bug. I feel like the developer needed just one more update to speed up an otherwise flawless rom.
I havent tried skyraider yet. I dont like any of the mr4 roms because of various bugs.
My favorite rom is thundershed because it flies but sometimes I miss some of the sense functions...but I dont miss the lag.
Sometimes old roms ARE better than new roms. I prefer mr2 to mr4.
4 hours on infectedrom eternity nightlies and so far loving it super fast will flash zues tomorrow night and try that one also. Thanksfor all replies
