You will get as many opinions as there are Roms. If you have not already done so, I recommend getting Rom Manager from the Market and creating a backup copy of your rooted, but basically stock phone. From there I have had improved battery life and respectable radio performance using BAMF GingerStripped v2.1 & the latest leaked radio (1.46.00.0704w_2, 0.01.76.0703_2r).
You will find that radio performance is sometimes hit or miss when using the Gingerbread Roms. With that being said, improvements are made on an almost daily basis. I have no complaints with the stability or performance of my phone under the Rom/Radio configuration described above though.
All the links to Chingy51o ROM's will be down in the Tbolt forums. Go to themikmik.com to download. I wouldn't suggest TPS 1.5 though. It's old, based on a froyo leak that no kernels were ever developed for, and there's sereveral that are faster and more developed. Do you want feature-rich and solid as the Rock of Gibraltar, or, do you want a ROM that runs like a raped ape on fire? If you want feature rich and solidly developed, go to TeamBAMF.net and try one of theirs. If you like speed and all the junk pulled out, try themikmik.com and check out Chingy's ROM's. If you're feeling senseless, OMFGB is probably the best AOSP ROM out there. And then there's always CM7, which is starting to look like a finished product. I like Gingeritus3D V1.0 BetaV. V and VI are as fast as any gingerbread ROM I've ever used, if not faster, even with all the extra graphic load and Sense features. And it's reliable.
If batter life is what you crave, Froyo is probably the way to go. In that event, would definitely suggest BAMF. They seem to have the most developed Froyo builds with the best kernels. And they're great guys over there to who are always happy to help.
That question is about as tough as us telling you what's the best car to drive for you.
Not for us...but for you...
As said, best thing you can possibly do is make a backup of stock via clockwork recovery mode.
Do NOT use ROM or Kernal manager to flash Roms or kernals. Use Clockwork.
There are a TON of good ROMs out there...lately, there has been a little bit of an exodus of talented developers...politics are politics. It's too bad.
My advice is any time you go from one ROM to another, wipe data, cache and dalvik.
DroidTh3ory makes a great ROM (running it now)
BAMF makes a great one (Have run them a lot in the past) google search...they are no longer on XDA
Virus (Synergy, airborne) makes a great ROM
Chingy (Gingeritis, liquid ginger, perfect storm) makes a great ROM. Google him as well, no longer here.
Pretty much any of the Developers make two flavors of their ROMs, with Sense and without. 100% personal preference. If you like the eye candy...stay with Sense. Trade off is a little speed an performance and battery life (you may not even notice) vs. a non-sense based ROM.
Without a doubt, the most popular AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM is CM7.
Personally...I like sense. I've tried 2 or 3 non-sense based ROMs...I like candy, what can I say?
Tesla Coil
ROM Suggestion
I tried Perfect Storm v1.5 as well as my first ROM and it was good however I have now moved on to Eaton ROM v1.5.3 and it is flawless!
I've tried a few different ROMs, to include Das BAMF (RC4.9), Ging3r3dTh3ory, Liquid Thunderbread v1.4, as well as Gingeritis v1.2 and Gingeritis 3d v1.0 Beta VI.
I really liked the eye candy that Das BAMF had in his ROMs. It seemed pretty stable, too, but I haven't been able to find a Sense ROM that beats Gingeritis. Either "Gingeritis v1.2 non-3D" or "Gingeritis 3D v1.0 Beta VI", have both been very reliable, and the 3D version is very snappy considering it's 3D and Beta.
I have not tried any other roms other than Th3ory roms and they are awesome , great battery life.
I have been running the ROMs released by Th3ory. I started out with the Sense 3.0 ROM, then moved to a 2.1/3.0 Hybrid. Now I am running his latest CM7/AOSP mashup. It is rock solid for the most part. While I do miss some of the Sense UI elements, the sheer speed and performance, not to mention battery life, with the AOSP ROM is phenomenal.
Also, I do recommend the use of the 627 radio as well with this ROM.
I've tried every rom out there (up until about a week ago or so), and Th3ory Roms are easily the best for me. I value Performance first, Stability second, and debloating third. Every Rom that DroidTh3ory has put out has out performed all other roms for my needs. His latest offering, Pur3A05P, is amazing. I've never had an android experience so smooth, snappy, and stable. Not to mention fully AOSP, so fully debloated.
Also, you should see about flashing the latest radio. It's available at themikmik.com, labeled something like (2.xxx.xxx.xx). A reminder: A radio image is flashed by placing the file, named exactly 'PG05IMG.zip', on the root of your SD card, rebooting into hboot (vol- while booting), and accepting the upgrade. Also, make sure you delete or rename the radio off of your sd card once your done!

Hi!
I New to this Android World (From apple ex-fanboy) ;-) // I want experiences or recommendations especially -better battery life- between LeeDroid Rom & AOSP RC1
Thank you!
I think it depends on if you Luke sense. If you do, leedroid is the answer. You'll likely get better battery from aosp since it doesn't have nearly the background processes. Try em both and see what you like.
I've gone from LeeDroid to CM7 now happily running AOSP RC1... I'm in vanilla Android heaven!
Your comparing apples to oranges. The two aosp roms are compiled from source, with absolutely 0 HTC bloat in them. The other is an HTC rom with sense. You can remove sense apps and Widgets, but sense framework is still there. Depends what you want. But if battery is your thing, I'm getting the best battery I've ever had on my aosp rom, and the phone is smoother than I ever thought this phone could be. I'm sure gtg 's is the same. If you want sense, try leedroid, if you want what Google made, before the manufacturers got their hands on the software, try an aosp rom. No matter what you pick, it'll be better than stock.
I'm on leedroid... Thinking of trying ACE not sure yet.. gonna give leedroid a week!
Try em all. The hard/riskier part is done. Flashing roms is safe/simple. Your not gonna.brick your phone flashing a rom, and it only takes a few minutes to be back up and running. Risky things to flash are radios (although if your careful the risk is pretty low, but a bad radio flash can leave you with a permanent brick) and bootloaders
I'm using LeeDroid's ROM currently and I love it...Battery life is great, still has the nice framework for appeal, GPS works within 35 seconds, etc...I tried the RC1 and it's incredibly fast and smooth, but it's nearly naked with features lol...So like di11 said, they both are better than stock for sure, it's just what appeals more to you function or form..Hope this helps
LeeDroid is the way to go, i've tried them all and his ROM's just work great without any hassle.
my expierince with leedroid had speakerphone issues and was buggy, but im still looking for a one for me.
Also, with aosp roms, I was unable to recieve mms messages as I had in Sense Roms. Otherwise I would stay with Gingerbeast.
What do you think the best rom out for the G2x in your opinion is and state why
(I thought this would be a good thread to easily choose a rom without reflashing and getting different users opinions would be good too soo......)
at the moment, i'm using
[ROM] (v1.2.5) Nexus AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.4 - Faux123
&
[Kernel]CM7 [2.6.32.41] (v0.2.4) OC~1500MHz/UV/SLQB/BFQ/EXT4 [Jun-21-2011]
and it makes my phone hella leet :x (no glitches, or freeze ups or anything retarded)
the other roms were too glitchy for me so i ended up using faux's
give it a try!
All the GB Roms have issues of some sort from limitations that the dev's can't get past until they get updates from LG. I think both EaglesBlood 1.05 and Ultimate Rom are the best, just buttery smooth both of them with absolutely no issues.
I've tried them all. I keep trying the GB based roms over and over again, thinking "it's going to be better this time," because I love the way the keyboard (even swype) has the placeholder for moving the curser. But it always ends with the same issues. I MUCH prefer the camera in the froyo roms to that in the GB's. For some reason, even though benchmarks may show otherwise, the froyo roms SEEM to move faster and smoother from task to task. Perhaps the froyo roms leave me with more available ram to play with...not sure.
Anyway, the Ultimate Rom is a fantastic rom. But I prefer to use EB 1.05 with the honeycomb theme from 1.04. I just love having the blue radio and battery icons, rather than the green ones. I always end up back at the EB 1.05 rom. It's 100% stable, no reboots, no freezing or forced battery pulls, no wacky battery life issues, etc. I don't bother with overclocking anymore...I'm more into undervolting so that I can get maximum useability of the feature-set, yet still get good battery life.
I agree how eaglesblood froyo is a nice smooth fast rom with better camera and i tried all the 2.3 roms i think that Faux's AOSP rom is the top rom for g2x with 2.3
and I also agree that until 2.3 is officially we will see a huge progression in better roms im just hoping for a sense 3.0 rom personally
I have tried several ROMs on this phone and they all bring their own strengths/weaknesses. I use A2DP daily and i like the HDMI out option (use about once a week) so I landed on the GB Leak (the 2.3.4 ROMs are missing this at the time). I know it can be a bit buggy for some however I have had zero issues with it. I'm sticking with this for now until the other ROMs are fully functional or until the official release of GB comes out.
For me, its stock. I've tried all roms and frankly my phone runs the best on stock. I've unrooted and am waiting for the gb ota. The real fun will begin when the official gb update comes out. I too am hoping for a sense 3.0 rom. My brothers Droid incredible runs it very well and it is sooo nice looking.

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->

Now,
I know that you can root very easy here->

**WAIT**
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.
Im hoping this post may help some new Thunderbolt owners.

**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.

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.

Hey all,
This is my first rooted HTC phone (owned two others that weren't rooted) and had some general questions for all those who are rooted.
There seems to be a good number of roms out there and I'm not sure what a lot of the features each rom does, so the question I have is, what rom doesn't really overclock the phone and gives a nice stock functionality that is stable? I'm currently running the synergy rom but kinda looking to go elsewhere. I do apologize if this is a repost, again a new guy here to both the xda forums and rooted phones. Thanks for any help!
Its all about what you want outta ur rom, just gotta do ur research. I'm currently running CM7, and I must say Its stable.
I've been reading and reading and seems I just can't make sense of a lot of what each rom does..I honestly just want a pretty stock rom without all the bloatware that doesn't overclock the processor too much..thanks though for the quick reply!
You say CM7 eh? What do you like most about it?
I tend to shamelessly plug my own rom, so you could check it out.

Lmao ok guys, have you no shame LOL j/k
To be honest i really like the CoreDroid Rom. It is gonna be based on your preference though. I went through about four roms before I decided CD was the one.
If you wanna keep it stock (Im assuming you want Sense) then I would go with Android Revolution HD ROM. It has Sense 3.0 which has some beautiful widgets and pretty effects, runs incredibly SMOOTH and is VERY VERY stable and fast. You can overclock with it but if you prefer keeping it at stock speed you can do that also. Bloatware is also removed and there a bunch of performance tweaks under the hood also.
Go with 5.2.6 which can be found on their website. 6.1.0 was just released but its still a little buggy so I would wait a month or so and see if Mike comes out with an update to fix the issues people are having. I use 5.2.6 and its, hands down, the best ROM I've used.
I would definitely recommend the same Revolution ROM that Matt has recommended.
....Matt, did you ever try running a benchmark test on Revolution HD 6.1? I seem to be getting a 1500 benchmark score, but with version 5.2.6, i was getting 2000.... Seems kind of odd to me that it would regress in performance. When I overclocked 6.1 to 1.2ghz, i still only got 1800 but the phone was noticeably snappier.
I am absolutely loving the new Revolution HD 6.1.0, It has changed my Inspire into a gorgeous model of phone epicness.
I'm pretty much a noob too and wanted the same stock feel like you. I'm using ClearDroid with no issues. and with the newst 1.2.2 version my GPS seems to be working better than ever. good luck
I have literally tried every Rom that you could use for Inspire. If you want stock I would recommend either cleardroid, pirateghost, or Inspirephacopida. They are all based on stock look and perform about the same as stock if not better. If you want sense 3.0 features then I agree Android revolution is the most stable. If you like themes and eye candy then coredroid would be the one. Again its really preference. Just try some out, you will know pretty quick what your willing to sacrifice and what you don't. I do recommend giving an aosp Rom a go just to see whether or not you like it. I would probably use an aosp Rom if it had the sense camera functionality.

I to am new to root but I am also new to Android. I thought I wanted a stock ROM also until I got ahold of MIUI ROM. It has a ton of themes and you can download widgets from the market. So like others have said play around until you find what you like!

I've used cleardroid, RCmix and currently using Coredroid..and loving it. very smooth and stable thus far. As for the Android Revolution it was next on my list to try out, but I guess I'll wait a month or two til an update comes out since CD is doing everything I really wanted out of a rom right now. Sooooo happy I pulled the trigger and rooted my phone...thanks guys for the input!!
Which one do you think is the best? Why?
Adv vs. Disadv analysis is encouraged.
Btw, I am not jboxer. There was a little bit of a name mixup
I've only tried weapon. I have had no desire whatsoever to try anything else. Weapon works! i get 24 hrs. of medium usage or 48 light usage per charge. it's fairly customizable, has many themes for it. bluetooth, hulu, netflix all work. i'm sure the others are great, but i'll stick to weapon. thanks Whitehawkx!
I have used EaglesBlood and CyanogenMod Nightly's. I have noticed no real differences between the two as EaglesBlood is based on CyanogenMod.
Weapon is based on stock, so it will be customizable but retain more of the stock functionality and won't be as widely customizable right off the bat like CM7 and EB. Weapon is also based on 2.3.3 vs 2.3.7. MIUI is also based more on stock but has a redesigned UI that looks a little more like iOS. MIUI is also more compatible with the Asian market and it's phone technology. They all have their downsides, mostly in that some piece of hardware isn't working at full ability. But that is just one of the things about custom ROMs.
In the end it is all up to you in what you want for your daily use. I suggest just trying each one out until you find the one that suites you best and stick with it.
Eagle ftw!!!

I've used EB and weapon, and personally i preferred weapon over EB. i haven't used MIUI and CM7 seems so unstable.
Started with weapon which was great. Tried miui but really to me its an ios knock off gone wrong.
EB is good but I had memory issues with it.
So since as of Oct 25th I have been using CM7 nightlies. They are pretty stable. I don't have any issues. CM is where most developers get their stuff from or they get stock.
With CM you have the latest version of Android. When ICS comes out I am sure CM will have the first stable one
However you do need to try and test urself what is good. Clockwork and Titanium are must have when using custom Roms.

You should make a poll on this thread and let people vote
MIUI FTW
I've been using CM7.1. I first scooped it up when I saw the Cyanogen guys drop it in the dev section and have been using it ever since. Battery life is great, GPS is relatively quick on my device and its very customizable, obviously. Only downside for me is sometimes when I'm charging it the phone will become unresponsive and basically give me a blank screen, have to batt pull. I have recently wipe batt stats and haven't had that problem.
I haven't tried weapon yet, but I like most of the stock based roms because of the LG cam and hardware compatibility. I may flash weapon when I get bored though just to mess around with it.
MIUI was one of the first ROMs I flashed because I came from an Optimus S and always wanted to run it. It was a great ROM; batt life was good, really snappy, very customizable again and it looked soooo good. In the end however the hardware compatibility issues caused me to look elsewhere. Was getting random FCs, GPS wasn't quick enough for me, overall not stable enough for myself to run as a daily.
No experience with EB here, but right now CM7 is my favorite ROM. It has a good balance of look, features, compatibility and performance. IMHO of course.
I've used EB, CM7 stable, and Weapon. I haven't used MIUI for the G2X but have run it on other phones in the past. MIUI is interesting to use as something different but the novelty wore off for me after awhile.
Right now I am sticking with Weapon as it provides the most stability and functionality IMO. For example, I couldn't stream Bluetooth audio in my car with CM7 and GPS locking was a nightmare. I also find it gives me the best battery life but that is highly subjective...
Anyhow, with ICS source code being released today I think there will be some serious beta ROMs coming my way soon.
Flash everything and see what you like best. Just remember to Nandroid along the way!
Faux rom all the way.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I think I've used every rom made for the G2x and flip between them often.
Weapon just works but that's boring. I would use it if whitehaux included T-Mobile theme support (aka CM7 themes). The addition to the notification toggles helps lower the burden of use also.
I haven't tried EB in a while but it doesn't get updated much. It runs off a CM7 base... so I figure why not just use CM7?
MIUI does have a novelty that looks like it would get old but if you use a 3rd party launcher and play with the themes, you might find yourself getting addicted to the various array of different apps and functionality. The dialer, messaging, and music apps are glorious. You will however find that compatibility is the lowest and some FC more times then normal. For me it was completely useable. Development for MIUI is being ramped up and I would really like to have a really good stave version one day.
CM7 is what it is. It is the fullest and most worked on rom available on any phone. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as MIUI but overall is a good balance between MIUI and Weapon. It is currently what I use.
What I like to do is view the "Post your homescreen" threads for both CM7 and MIUI. Find something that you really like and go for it. Android is all about custom appearances and style. Embrace it.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
I've tried them all
CM7 Nightlies - Seemed very unstable to me
EB - Just didn't feel it. I wanted to retain the look of stock. (First ROM I used, switched to CM7 Nightlies about 2 days later)
Weapon - Perfect for me since it looks just like stock and has more. (Currently using)
MIUI - Too much like iOS. Why did I get an Android? Because I liked the look of it... Didn't really like not having an app drawer (plus I liked the cube affect in app drawer) I reflashed Weapon about 5 minutes after flashing MIUI.
I've been using Weapon 3 RC1 and switched around to MIUI and CM7 then back to Weapon. I found the user interface of MIUI confusing and CM7 I can't say much about cause I used it so little. Weapon is straight-forward to use and very stable. I will continue to try various ROMs and kernels because I like to experiment and discover what's developing that may be better than what I'm currently using. For now, its Weapon.

MIUI does feel weird at first but load up a custom launcher and you'll be right at home with Android-like feelings. Once you stop using the default launcher, it starts becoming this amazing experience. The launcher is the only resemblence to iOS (restrictive), everything else is unique.
Once you use MIUI or CM7 for a while, its hard to go back to Stock-like roms. The pros outweigh the cons. I didn't see the purpose of CM7 at first either. It's only until you discover the hidden gems that make it alternative roms simply amazing.
For Example: CM7 and MIUI allow UserAgent changes on the fly to flip between Desktop, Mobile, iPad, Android, Chrome, etc. I personally like the fully rendered pages so I set it to a desktop renderer so I'm not pulling up the crappy mobile sites all the time.
