Eh, I will be happy with a 100% working and stable CM7. While MIUI is nice, I just prefer complete ASOP.

Well seeing how CM7 still isnt officially out and stable I would rather them work out all the bugs and release a stable version.

Yea, I pretty much agree even though I never use some features like GPS, Bluetooth, etc..
I have been running CM7 since Sunday night and it has been freaking stable for a pre-alpha..

MIUI seems nice but for me I have OCD with the icons. I just know not all the apps I download are going to have an icon thats MIUI ish, this will bother me. I look forward to trying this but I hope I can make my own verision of a MIUI rom with no icons lol.
I really like CM too, I think I will stick with that for awhile.

u know that with MIUI you can theme ALL icons.. even market apps. SO make your own mr OCD... I DO ...

reccomend a rom?

I was going to try the ICS port but dont want to ruin the true one when its out, plus i read GPS is so so and I need that for my running apps.
Ive tried a few but always lean back to stock, but am getting ancy. Can anyone reccomend a nice clean ROM that works well with all the apps and is good on battery.
I might go back to SuperOSR but wanted something different. Tried CY7, Zulu, and like one or two more.
thanks

Cm7 or miui

Carbon is pretty awesome. Its oxygen based so it is IMHO faster and much more stable than cyanogen

i'm always confused when i see people recommend cm because frankly, in my experience, it runs like junk on this phone.

Very true, Sad that it's not stable on a developer phone.
For me the best custom ROM is Oxygen, No problems at all.

Cm7 runs very stable for me, even on my old heroc that was barely half the phone this one is, with the same apps/launcher setup.

personally i'd say miui over cm7. i was so frustrated with cm7 i wanted to sell my phone. it's a bit better now but it's so hard to switch back to cm7 after getting used to the dialer, sms app and themability of miui. and the stability. all i ever got from cm7 was reboot loops and phone hangs that made me miss my alarms.

Recap...
CM7 = Stability issue for some...
Carbon/Oxygen = Stable/recommended...
MIUI = Stable, alternate experience "no pure google".
I juste got my Nexus S, I quickly rooted and and installed CM7. I was use to it: had a Nexus One.
But, I experience some instability/crash. If my latest nightly doesn't fix it I'll try Cabon/Oxygen.

I would recommend CM7 or Pete Alfoso's ROM or CM7 with Petes Kernel..its much more stable

What exactly is different between oxygen and carbon?
I really like oxygen for all that it is how ever I am nit picky and don't like that it has a different boot animation than stock and I can't seem to change it on that rom like I have been able to on others. That being said I am running NSCollab and like it a lot though I do wish it was more clean like oxygen but like that it retains stock boot animation yet has all the features on it that I like. But if anyone knows how to give oxygen a stock boot animation I would jump ship quick.

i'm not sure of the exact differences, but i can report that carbon feels much more snappy and smooth. i also happen to get better benchmark scores with carbon.

The only differences iirc is that it is themed and has some speed optimizations. The latest Oxygen includes all these tweaks so the only difference now is the themeing.
in response to the original question, if you want every possible feature and option go for CM. if you want a stock experience Oxygen or GPA19. And even though Ive never used it i would suggest muiu just because its so different to everything else out there

Miui or Ginger

I was wondering who was using gingebread or miui
And why
I was on Ginger but I switched to miui
Like the interface better

I love MIUI but with ICS buzz, I'm going with CM7 and a ICS theme.
MIUI got too buggy for me. I haven't tried the new updates in fear I will love it too much.
LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV

CM7, only because MIUI on the G2x isn't exactly the most stable. I was spoiled with the MIUI on the MT4G, thing was a beast and never had any bugs.
The MIUI on the G2x is good for the most part, but gets slow and has bugs here and there that bothers me so I'm happy with CM7.

I use Miui now and it seems pretty stable. I choose miui because it just looks really nice and runs soo smoooth.
--> Miui and Cm7 are both very good roms.. you should try out both to see what's best for you.

Depends on what CM version you use. You also need to properly factory reset your phone, clear caches, etc because CM7 is a different beast entirely. Coming from other roms, especially stock roms such as Weapon, it is especially important to do the proper flashing techniques or you WILL run into problems.
That said, MIUI should be better now. I dropped off months ago when only Whitehawk was developing for it (aka just porting the latest version). Now we actually have devs focusing on MIUI for the G2x and trying to work out the kinks. It should be much better now.
MIUI isn't as compatible as CM7 with apps and such. More apps will not work on MIUI vs Stock or CM7. Most do, but this is something to expect if you run MIUI and your favorite app won't launch.
I had too much fun with MIUI though. Always changing my lockscreen type, always themeing, changing this and that. Gets addicting.
MIUI is different and most people get turned off by the iPhone-like launcher. But throw ADW EX or Go Launcher and you'll love it.

I started with a Cm7 rom and ics theme and then went to miui recently. Theres an ics theme for it too.
Using the galnet ics version that whitehawk ported over. Miui is different and at first I didn't like it, but I spent a day or two with it and I grew to like it. I think I just wanted something different since ics is a ways off.

Miui
I hated Miui when I first installed it, my phone would boot loop after calls that weren't answered, random reboots throughout the day, and it was a major battery hog. That was about 3 months ago.
I have it installed now and I love it. I have no problems at all with it, save about a 1 minute warm up time for an accurate lock on gps. Coupled with Juice defender and Launcher Pro, I get all the battery I need, and an app drawer with mods that rock!

love miui. been using whitehawk builds since he started and have no problems with stability, performance, or compatibility. I prolly wont even flash ics when we finally get it because its so hard to give up the level of customization miui offers.

I agree but now they have a ics miui can wait to they get on the g2x or o2x ethier way we can get it

yup. hope current themes will be compatible or updated quickly.

miui all day with a touch of an ICS theme. The customization of MIUI is just unparalleled at this point. The ONLY bug with the current build of MIUI that urked me was when you connect your phone via usb to a pc it sometimes freezes/randomly reboots. But with wifi explorer this issue is easily bypassed. All in all i still love it

MIUI all the way. ICS will be on it today

are you saying that will be on the G2X today? just confused, but if so I'm backing my phone up now lol.

Probably means "one day". I know MIUI was already using some of the ICS source files but since they are based off CM7 kernel, one would think CM9 would have to be out first.
EDIT
Looks like pics have surfaced of MIUI running on top of ICS and the source was annouced... I don't think this means it will come out for the G2x today. Supposedly it is based off the CM9 kernel with hardware acceleration enabled.

I'd use MIUI if it was as stable as CM is on this phone. MIUI is a great ROM, but i always fall back to CM7 after sometime.

I've been using miui for a few days and I must say it's pretty stable.loving the camera as well.OVERALL switching from a mytouch4g I really miss Sense

Cm9 for me I've had their roms on all my android phones but also the virtuous rom feels quite good
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

thank's for ur respons guys
firstly i love the cm9
although the release still alpha, but its more smooth then other rom in development thread << its my opinion
cause i've flash my Desire S with cm9, virtuous team, miui4 port by proxuser and in superkid's thread hehehe
sorry for my bad english,

Personally I'm waiting for MIUI...I've stayed alot with Galnet MIUI and loved it. Now I have installed Virtuous beta (7) that's by far the speediest and lag free among the other ICS betas (at least for me). I've tried CM9 and I love the work CM is doing (had been using only CM ROMs till I got MIUI) but it has some issues for me: cannot download from market (just tried it few minutes ago) and the CM "control center" is missing...so the thing that was clearly make CM to stand out among others is unfortunately missing for now (I mean the multitude of tweaking possibilities)
Later edit: As i compared only current version of existing ICS ROMS, not thinking about future (as the question in this thread suggests). So in case every ROM will have a final version with everything included I'll have a very hard time to choose between MIUI and CM9...I'll test both and probably I'll stick with the one that has best performance and has the greatest tweaking capabilities.
All that said, I don't have enough words (and mouse clicks) to thank to every developer that contributed to have ICS on our phones. After trying ICS, going back to Gingerbread will never happen even with a non working camera. For those rare moments when I need a camera, I have a backup of both Endy 3.3 and Galnet MIUI ROMs that restores in 2 minutes...then, as soon as possible I switch back to ICS

CM9 because of the features it has which I have become very used to.

Totally waiting for MIUI 4. proxuser is already is porting it but most things still doesn't work.

Can't decide yet =) CM9 might be the first preference, but absolutely gonna try some others also. Just because CM has been great, it does not mean that no other ROMs are worth trying.

+1 for MIUI 4 ^^

Currently using Virtous Beta 7 and it's amazing, just waiting for camera to work

Virtuous Quattro. The developers of that rom always do a great job on their roms. I've used Virtuous Unity a couple months ago and it was one of the best roms and probably still is.

At the moment, Virtuous Quarto is running marvelously as my daily driver. And because of the fast updates, I don't have time to test the rest. But coming from both Virtuous Unity and CM7, I'll make sure to test CM9 as well, and maybe even MIUI.

ICS seems to be a little slower then GB, so ICS+Sense should feel really slugish.
MIUI -
Virtous Quattro - feels nice even now and has some nifty options, so i'll try it again once it's done.
CM9 - most likely it will be the one. I'm with CyanogenMod since very early CM6 builds and always happy. A lot of devs working on it, daily (nightly ) updates, lots of options, great performance and stability.

[Q] aosp rom suggestions

guys, anyone more experienced than me could tell me what are the best roms aosp (even if is sense based)?
I have to choose:
official miui, opensensation, aokp, virtuous inquisition...

Nothing AOSP will be Sense based, the two are mutually exclusive.
My vote goes to CM9/OpenSensation though.

yeah, I know that XD I'm not so much noob...I mean, roms like virtuous, that are htc framework aosp themed...In theory that could be better because is based on native sensation framework...but real aosp base is lighter, I don't know, I'm asking for this anyone that tried some roms could suggest?...

Flash AOKP, you won't regret it.

HyperNonSense is been good to me.... 2.4 version to be exact...

+1 on this, i'm using pimpmaneaton EyeCandy aokp rom, very nice.

AOKP is great, lots of customizations. There are a few minor issues though.
If you want something stable, go for virtuous inquisition.
Cm9(open sensation) is pretty good though.
You have to try them out yourself to find out

Another for the coool Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2!

yesterday I had a flash day XD tried official aokp, open sensation and virtuous...
I really hate cm9, I don't like that, I....can't feel the aosp experience!...
tried virtuous, is good, but not enough fast, even if stable!...
now, I'm on official aokp is good, light, pretty stable, battery is not so good, but I don't mind...thank you all for suggestions!

i have tried almost any rom and my number one choice is Open Sensation. almost everything in open sensation is superior, when compared to other roms, but if you still can't decide i would recommend you to pick up your most favorite roms and try them out.
