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.

Bamf 2.1
Seriously though everyone can just put pretty much every ROM in here as they all work different for different people. Your best bet is to decide if you want GB or Froyo, flash that radio and then try out a few different ROMs until you find the one you like.

Bamf roms are great, cant go wrong with them
running right now bamf 1.7 remix

Bamf 3.0 rc4

Bamf must be the ish
Bussin Caps n 3D

I've tried the lot of them. Ran Synergy for a bit, and was quite happy with it, but came back to BAMF after some major issues with my Slingbox.
I've found that a lot of the ROMs out there are good, but in my experience BAMF has the least major bugs/issues.
In the end it's all a matter of taste, preference, and your own personal needs.
All that said, I'm currently running BAMF 3.0 RC4

Leaked stock MR2 ROM and radios.

bamf remix!

Liking Bamf 3.0 RC4, came from Bamf Remix 1.8. Think I may go back and wait for the Remix of the 3.0.
So my vote for best would be the 1.8 Remix

I like rc4 of sense 3.0 but my battery life is draining so freaking fast is unbelievable and I am not even using the phone, which i knew what settings to use on set cpu

Mine seems to be dropping a little faster too, but not super noticeable. Have my CPU at 1.2, others default.

I personally like the CM7 roms coming from the OG droid. It's a matter of taste but i like the fact the CVPS is on the team now for mecha. It's a non sense ROM and doesn't have the "bling" but runs great. Its got a few bugs but nothing that will make you not want to run it. Going to give bamf a try again now that i've updated my radio. Just try a few out and see what works for you.

+1. Flyweight Final is rock solid with excellent battery management on my Tbolt.

My personal favorite thus far is dasBAMF 1.8.6.
I love the BAMF 3.0 RC's, but they need a little more polish for my liking. Probably won't hope over completely until the official GB rom and source come out.

I am really enjoying BAMF 2.1 Stripped. Miss sense a bit, but the ROM is supper smooth and the battery life is the best I have experienced.

New rom?

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!!!

I've been using ****AO5P for a few weeks now and it's absolutely amazing. I don't really know what else to ask for, but is there anything better out there?

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 too use BAMF, on double shot right now love the landscape mode on home page.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button

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

ROM Recommendation please?

I haven't rooted/modded in awhile. I used to just use CM7 when I first got the phone. I've gone through 3 replacements now and have yet to mod it. Can you guys recommend the best ROM for the specifics I'm looking for?
-Has to have wifi calling (this is a must i barely get 1 bar to no svc in my apartment)
-has to record in 1080
-has to have HDMI working
Please let me know which ROM you'd recommend? I'm tired of the stock always getting the black screen of death and the random reboots. Tmobile said they can't exchange it anymore. Thanks!

Weapon or Tsugi. Love weapon G2x because it is really stable amd has great toggles. Tsugi is great also but i really want the toggles.
Sent from my G2X

Ran 2.3.3 eaglesblood for the longest and it was very stable, but I really like voodoo and the faux123 kernel for ota based roms kept freezing and rebooting my phone worse than the stock ROM/kernel and it took forever to reboot due to the cache rebuild issue. Then I tried RG2x MIUI and loved it but had too many bugs...plus MIUI has a bit of a learning curve to it. Now I'm on phoenixblood 1.4 with faux123 cm7 based kernel and so far everything is great. Only been a couple days but so far fast, smooth and stable!
If you don't care about overclocking or voodoo sound, then eaglesblood 2.3.3 based is very stable and fast.

I would also recommend one of the Eagle's Blood or Phoenix Blood Variants. Quick and stable. Good Luck!

Phoenix blood 1.4 no special kernels...
Yeah, I have tried then all and ever since nightly 201 from cyanogen...the CM 7 build have been the best

Get the one with the shoulder thing that goes up...
I've been using Weapon 2.6 since the day it was released. I also need WiFi calling.
Just install the LG cam 3.0 add-on and your set. I can also confirm that HDMI works nicely.
FWIW; I'v installed every iteration of Weapon as it was released. V 2.6 is the most stable for me.

I just got done trying the wajkui, and it worked pretty damn good. CM 7 worked pretty well for me too, and I have finally moved on to Bionix. It is all about finding which rom works best for you. Download a rom and try it out for a week, and flash another until you find what works. There are so many people who have made great roms, I am starting to get addicted to flashing one rom for a week and flashing another one the next week.

Bionix works really, really well for me and it's in active development. I've had good and bad experiences with Weapon, and I've also tried Tsugi and MIUI. So far Bionix has been the best for me. Good battery life, very responsive and most recently no random reboots.

If youre looking for straight style, go with MIUI. It looks great and theres plenty of very smooth themes out there I use a custom port called Singh-UI, its a bit more stable.
If youre looking for more customizations, go with CM7 Nightlies or Phoenixblood

I have tried all but right now I think the best two are Singh or WajkIUI both are MIUI ports.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Phoenix Blood is what I am using now. Was using Weapon because I thought no other ROM could match it's battery life and stability. This was after trying MIUI ports, CM7, etc. Phoenix Blood is stable, smooth, and I EASILY get a full day out of it with pretty heavy use. But, it all depends on what you are looking for, stylistically I mean.

Phoenix blood runs great on my phone, with very few bugs, it also gets frequent updates

I've only flashed CM7S, so i can't compare it to anything. I figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it! But I'm using CM7s latest nightly with faux123s CM OC/UV v0.4.8 kernel. I like all themes there are for CM7. Oh, and of course the great performance and awesome battery life I'm getting is good too. Best thing to do would be, backup and flash a new ROM every week or so and see which is better
