[Q] Best (Most Popular) non-GB ROM?

So I had posted something about being glad I didn't mess with GB and apparently offended a few folks, wasn't my intention so I'll apologize.
That said though, what non-GB (safer) ROMs is anyone else using that isn't incented enough to risk the GB ROMs?

Go with Bamf remix 1.6.3. Very stable and nice.

BAMF 1.7 with everything stripped out is my favorite. Extremely fast with lots of extra features.
Sadly I am currently on stock till I get my warranty replacement phone today from Verizon

I agree, I prefer das BAMF myself as well.

BAMF 1.7 Remix here!

I stuck with BAMF for a long time before trying The Perfect Storm, will check it out again. Thanks.

rocking Virus rom still haha

Bamf will definitely be the most popular, and it is well deserved. Its a strong, solid rom. I'm enjoying 1.7 right now, and its probably my favorite non-gb rom
Virus it seems comes in second.

I was running BAMF remix before GB and it was great. Good battery life, nice looking theme, no reboots or freezes for me either

Another solid alternative is Thunder ROM v1.0. Been a great rom for me and my wife.

This is perfect if you like a nicely themed Sense ROM.

I'm running bamf remix 1.63 and very happy with it. Gonna check out remix 1.7 later on hopefully

Favorite ROMS so far

So I just wanted to start this post to hear opinions on the best ROM so far... I want solid reasons too..
Thanks

BAMF 1.7. Great rom and wonderful battery life.

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.

Now what is the best rom XDA has ?

Trying to get feedback the best gingerbread rom that is out on XDA at the moment since there is no Gingeritis and Bamnf.

You can get gingeritis and bamf from their respective websites.

Cyanogen Mod, better than any ROM out there in my opinion.

That is like what asking what is the best food in the world lol...everyone has different tastes and opinions.

Liquid thunderbread takes CM7 and one ups it with less bugs, even more custom settings and better benchmarks. Otherwise if you use the same launcher on both roms they are strikingly similar (custom setting are just under liquid settings instead of cyanogen). For sense roms I have always ended up using chingy's roms (perfect storm, then 2.1 gingebread and finally 3d gingerbread)... and yes I know those are no longer an XDA rom but since the ASOP roms (when all the bugs are ironed out) are better than any sense roms (functionally) I really needed not mention any sense roms lol.

Honestly no one can tell you what the best ROM is. These thunderbolts... all of them seem different and all respond different to each ROM. You're going to have to run them for a week or so and figure out for yourself which one is best for you, and works best with your phone. I for one can not get GB BAMF to run smoothly on my phone. Best 3.0 sense for me was Gingeritis 1.1. I run CM7 and dream kernel as my daily driver and have had very few issues with anything.

your favorite ROM?

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

Sig says it all...
My name is Revos I'm a recovering flashaholic running Liquid Gingerbread 3.0

Running BAMF SoaB now with Imo's Kernel, and I am VERY impressed!

Hey OP the dev of shiftao5p is gonna get made when he sees you calling it ****AO5P.

I was running Bamf Forever 1.0.7 But Wanted to try CM7 Haven't Went back! Using Imo's Lean AOSP Kernel Overclocked to 1.4Ghz I'm set! i just miss the sexyness of Sense 3.0

Nice typo.
Signature.

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!

Try all of them then pick the one u like best.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

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.

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

Ive really been liking Miui. especially nycelitemaster version, Singh. Try it out, its different but cool
