Vote for your current ROM!
I realize that this will probably change but I was just curious as to how many of you use which ROM.
If I missed one.. Let me know?

Isn't Cyanogenmod still technically a work in progress? It's not even alpha yet.

I'm pretty sure it was more of a "if you can live with it you can" type thing. I've been using it constantly since slayher released it and have had no problems. granted im not in a 4g area and dont use wifi, bluetooth, or gps (in college) but data has worked great, calls, sms, etc all work great!
You're missing:
BAMF Remix 1.5
**EDIT**
Nevermind, I suppose that falls under Das BAMF for the purpose of this poll.

I'm counting that in "das BAMF" (also because I don't think I can actually change the poll now hahaha)
BAMF Remix 1.5
Rolling with cm7 goodness and lovin it. Also not in 4g area so not missing it. Running great so far.
Edit: went back to virus. Once in call audio is worked out ill go back to cm7.

Was running CM7, but I had some serious issues with a few rather important calls(doh), so I flashed back to Das Bamf. I'll definitely be all about some CM7 once nightlies start rolling.
I've been using it since it hot the forum. Its got little things buggy still, but much better than most all other ROMs as far as random reboots. I haven't had any freezes or reboots. All my calls have came through. Its a daily driver for me.

Perfect Storm. I gotta have Sense. I think vanilla ROMs are cool, but I have come to rely and enjoy the widgets and overall Sense look and feel.

... and the poll grows ...
Now running with 100% more CM7 THUNDERKANG - "I love the smell of KANG in the morning" Edition.
Was on BAMF until this morning (Best of the Sense ROMs, no doubt), switched to CM7 pre-alpha, Thunderkang flavor.
Yeah if anyone knows if its possible to add options to a poll let me know...
For now I guess for thunderkang just vote for CM7.. its baaasically the same!
Once MIUI and CM7 have officially released theirs and possibly others come along I'll just make a new poll because I'm sure things will change drastically at that time.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk
Its mostly Perfect
Been using Perfect Storm and have had a great time with it so far. Rarely any issues, unless 4g is down or slow in the area. Which is, unfortunately, too often so far.
I have used every single rom listed above, and the one I have stuck with is The Perfect Storm. But I am sure that once Miui is out, that will be my rom of choice.i used Miui for the motorola droid and loved it.
I have tried several roms but i keep going back to The Perfect Storm. I have never had any major issues with it and things that do need tweaking are always being worked on. I want to try CM but it is in too early in development for my tastes. I will eventually try it but probably return to The Perfect Storm.
Hey all,
Just found the "who's here from the Eris forum" thread and was going to post there, except it's closed.
Wondering what you former Eris folks are running for ROMs on the TBolt, how you like them and the differences you find between nanding and flashing.
Reading up on the TBolt ROMs it seems a bit more complicated than 'download and flash'
thoughts?
Thanks
~Me.
Hey man,
Not much different once you get used to CWR, instead of Amon.
Personally, I don't use/trust/like Rom Manager and just download all roms with my pc, load onto my SD and flash as normal. Took a bit to find Dalvik cache wipe but no problems since then. And I actually like the feature of having to scroll down through a bazillion "no"s to get to the flash this zip command.
I'm running Virus Sense version rom but using ADW instead of Sense and using Ziggy's kernels. I got a boot loop loading the power control zip on NonSense version so I just removed everything I don't use.
Flashed ZHP's blackedout mms and aosp dialer and I'm very happy with this beast.
I've actually been using my Eris as a music player at work, such a small screen, I think it's what is making me need glasses now, can't have anything to do with getting older.....
I had Taz's ROM on my Eris and now I am running BAMF 1.6.3nte. At first I was freaked out at not having Amon but I have been able to use CWR flawlessly so far.
Im using the broken CM7 pre-alpha as my daily driver
everything works except for 4g but that will come soon and few other items are broken but for a pr-alpha its a dam good rom
ps flash an aosp kernel too
Stock Rom here I need a Rom to come out that makes me want to root/flash my bolt. Oh well there's always tomorrow!

Lol chimp everyone thinks Ur a dude
Just like Bimmer I do everything manually (without rom mananger). On the Eris I bounced back and forth between Tazz,s and Shed's CM builds. On the TBolt I've been pretty happy with Das BAMF roms. These TB forums are a world different than the Eris forums.

No worries at all, "chimpsnest" isn't really a very froo-froo girly name like "MrsTBoltLover" (hey,that's a good one), and my avatar is a little manly too - if I didn't disagree w/the "pinking" of sports symbols I'd throw a pinked out Bruins B up there, but I find that blasphemous
My BF calls me a phone dork and loved picking on me when I was tweaking my Eris. I tell him he's just jealous w/his Moto Droid Pro and lack of rooting and greatness I think he's just waiting for me to mess my phone up, ever the pessimist
If I do flash ROMs (which I'm starting to feel the itch to do) I think I will do it via the boot menu instead of ROM manager, so I guess I'd just do Power/Volume down to get in there, then "recovery" which gets me into CWM, then the same data wiping and dalvik wiping, then install zip from SD card and (hopefully) off I'd go.
What is it that ROM manager does - just sort of simplify the process? The fact that it's a program makes me wonder what happens if I can't get back into my phone and back into the program?
I do miss the folks from our little forum, seems we had a great crew and it's not quite the same here (still great people, but you know what I mean).
Loving the Bolt, I'm lucky to be in a 4G area 90% of the time, so it would be nice to have a ROM that has that capability.
Running BAMF 1.1 stripped....awesome!!!
Prior to that lightning rom 3.3.1 also awesome...those seem to be the 2 most stable imo
Sent from my Thunderbolt using XDA App
And as for cwr ..took me a little bit to get used to it but its pretty much the same as amon in theory ....a bit more shuffling around though but it seems to work just fine.

Hey Chimp, I'm just running stock root with Adrynalyne's 4.4.7 kernel. It's definitely good to see so many eris folks here. Right now I haven't flashed any custom roms so I can stay away from crack flashing. We'll see how long that lasts, lol.

Oooh, I can flash just a kernel, hadn't thought of that! So, what has this Kernel done for ya? Do you notice differences w/it, battery life, etc? Does it mess w/4G at all?
Feels like starting the learning process all over again
FWIW I have never had an issue using rom manager on either the Fascinate or TB since moving on from the Eris. I t just does all the steps for you. Reboots recovery,wipes what needs wiping(minus your bum),flashes then reboots. It's a very handy program.
As far as the roms go I have only ever used bamf and cm7. Adryn and TDB did amazing work on the Fascinate and I trust their work. I'm also very much looking forward to what JT and Kaos have up their sleeves for this monster.
I'm not sure there is a "best" kernel out there right now as all phones react differently but once again I have great luck with both Adryn's and droids kernels.
Good luck getting your phone set up and don't be afraid of flashing due to the different recovery. While this forum is not as close nit and familiar as the Eris people, once you learn who to trust and ask questions too the support you will receive will be just as good.

I did notice battery improvement after flashing 4.3 kernel but then after the 4g outage my battery went down hill. So I won't blame the kernel, as I believe it is the network. And there has been no ill effects on 4g.

Are you sure of that? I did my root after that update, and I followed the sticky thread version from May, verbatim.
I made no changes to the process, and flashed Das BAMF 1.8.6 and the 7/8 OTA radio pack.
Congrats on the root! I've been rooted, but running the stock rom - but just updated to DroidTh3roy's GB rom...it's amazing! Everyone should take advantage of these roms.

Running the same ROM (....with latest MR2 radio though) and LOVING it! If you are feeling really adventurous, flash the RAM optimizer script listed on the portal today. Now my TB is absolutely flying!
Exactly what performance benefits are you guys actually seeing here? I mean, how is your TB any faster than the day you bought it?
Being able to experience GB was the first cool thing for me. Scrolling through the home screens, opening/closing apps, seems like everything is so much more quick and responsive now, almost instantaneous! I can now run Dungeon Defenders and GOF2 from the Tegra Zone no problem as long as I have reduce texture quality setting checked on Chainfire3D. Netflix, Skype, any app I have thrown at it works. 3G/4G/WiFi/GPS locks much quicker and consistently as well. Battery life seems better but I am heavy using right now. This is how it should be!
I'm runs the das bamf 3.0 its great! Wish I would have done it months ago!!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
sadly I just had to unroot in order to activate for work. plus side, i no longer pay the hefty bill. downside, no more root and sick roms!
I rooted my Thunderbolt after about 3weeks of buying it , talking to different people about the battery life and such , and I am glad I did , the battery life is awesome now and I dont have the useless bloatware anymore , can use the phone how I want to.
I did some research on a few different roms and came across Th3ory roms and I am happy I started using it , great rom and great support.
Now its time to root my wife's incredible to try for better battery life......

You will be fine
I am on the Gingerbean one and outside of the lack of good Calender that comes with the ROM and a power settings widget that doesnt have the option to turn off mobile data, its an awesome ROM. 9 hrs and I still have 50% of the battery.
If you recently purchased a Thunderbolt ....
You may be in the same boat as me, looking at rooting. Everyone is talking about gingerbread coming to our phones. I haven't seen an OTA as of yet, but it has leaked. located here->

Before you dive in, here comes my question.
If you have done your research, there are alot and I mean ALOT of roms to flash for the thunderbolt.
I would like some feedback as to what rom you have flashed.
This will help anyone new to the thunderbolt party as well as myself.
I have yet to make a decision on rooting or waiting.
Your feedback below please.
Thank you all in advance
And as ALWAYS,
Thank you to all the developers who are working there butts off !
I tried out team bamf first, but then they jumped ship to their own forum. So then droidtheory started releasing roms and jumped to him and haven't looked back.
He has a sense and aosp (cm7) version and also dhacker and xpack have released their own versions based off of droidtheory's work.
xpack's senseless rom is very nice. Has the sense base so gps and nfl network work right out of the gate, but no sense (adw launcher instead) so its fast and smooth.

You can't go wrong with DroidTh3orys ROMS.
Root. Now. That way you can make your choice when/if GB actually comes. You can always go back to stock unrooted. You may not be able to root with the new OTA.
Roms? Like many things they are a personal choice that no one can make for you. Having flashed them all, I can tell you they have improved dramatically since I got my bolt in May. If you choose to root, do yourself a favor and try several. You will find the Rom that suits your taste and needs.

100% agree with this guy.
Us leaving XDA doesn't change anything about the quality of our roms. Fact is, many of our innovations end up in other roms anyway (ask ihtfp69 and erishasnobattery).
You can find us at teambamf.net, or rootzwiki.com.
There are many roms to choose from out there. Try them all, then decide.
Thank you all for your feedback. I made sure to click the Thank You buttons on all of your comments.
Once again thanks for the quick response. will be flashing later on today.

**Every phone behaves differently just want to add this before anything.
Multiple reasons, first and foremost my phone behaved the best with ShiftAO5P. I had a very smooth running phone and an amazing battery life with all the bells and whistles turned on. I went from 4 am in the morning to almost 6 in the evening without a charge. I am a moderate to heavy user, my battery does not last that long EVER.
2nd, choices with the rom was amazing multiple governers, mulitple kernels you can try them all till you find the best combo.
3rd, support DT is very active on the forum so answers and issues are resolved very fast.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I will have to give ShiftAO5P a try.
I've been running dasBamf Roms for a month now and love them. I am currently on UberBamf PR3. every Tbolt is different, so experiment and see what works best for YOU. After you install each ROM, make a back up of it. That way, if you install one, that you don't like, you can revert.
I like a fast, customizable ROM without all the Sense bloat so I use Liquid Thundersense. I've only had this phone for 5 days so I really have no other Thunderbolt ROM to compare it to (I ran Gingeritis for a couple hours and the stock ROM only long enough to download Gingeritis to the device; I just hate Sense lol). As far as it goes though I've owned five Android devices total and have rooted and ran custom ROMs on all of them. Only way to go IMHO.

JB or ICS? From what I know, there are only kernels being offered from Imoseyon (on Rootzwiki) and Morfic (in original Dev forum). I would recommend making your nandroid backups and trying them all to see what runs well on your device. Every device performs differently when it comes to kernels.
