I hate to have to say it, but you're asking the same question as, "What is the best flavor of ice cream for me?". None of us can tell you what that would be - you just have to keep licking them until you find one that you like.

Sorry dude, this thread is going to get locked soon. The only advice even experts will give here is to read. Read at least the first and last 5 pages of each of the ROMs. It gives good idea if any one is facing particular issues.

NO, read the LAST 5-10 pages of the thread so you know what the latest results are!

I say read the middle 5-10 pages, so you can be thoroughly confused by topics that most likely have already been resolved on versions that have long since been outdated!

The analogy of asking someone else what your favorite flavor of ice cream is, works very well..
Also, don't let one bad experience with a rom ruin the rom for you for good.
I mean, sometimes you do get a bad sample..

i honestly think you should give cm7 another shot. i am using mine with the glitch kernel which allows me to overclock it to 1.7 ghz and increased stability for me atleast.

The best one for me is froyo Continuum 4.1 with jk4 modem and xcalibur 2.3.5 kernel. I need stable and decent battery with a good amount of tweaks.
Ran CM 7.1 stable but battery was not good for me. Really enjoyed the tweaks.

howmydictate, as others have said, read up and make your own decision.

New to Inspire 4G - Most stable ROM overall??

I'm new here but not to Android, I've been following SGS2 for a while. I gave my Inspire 4G to my brother but he wants it rooted now.
What is the best option for speed and battery life over stock for a 15 year old? He plays games quite a bit and just wants it to look cool and be fast.
I've heard CM7 is solid as well as Miui, is there something else I should look into? Something closer to stock.
Im running UnNamed on my SGS2 which I dont think is available on this device (we have CM7 and Miui too but its not for me).
Thanks for the help and please don't just flame me out for "not searching" because I have.

You will get many different opinions on Roms, best is to try to see what works best for you. I use Arhd 6.3.1 and have zero problems.

I don't believe you searched because if you did you would notice that every thread created like this ends with, THERE IS NO OVERALL BEST STABLE ROM! You must try it for yourself. Every user will swear by their ROM they use. There is no perfect or most stable ROM..every ROM has its bugs and its on you to decide what you can live with and what you can't.

I would say it is: EAGLESBLOOD™ ICS "AOSP". I have bounced around using different ROMs but always end up with EB. Besides the Devs are there for you when issues come up.

Search and try
There are any number of "good" ROMs out there Some prefer CM7, or CM9. Some Prefer AOKP. SOme like to stick to close to stock because it has fewer potential problems. Your mileage will vary based on your needs and you should try some until you find one that matches your needs. There is no single generic answer to your question. If it were specific it would be more likely that one ROM best fits your needs though. For example, if you are seeking video capture and playback then stear clear of CM9 and ICS. If you are seeking a safer ROM than try CM7 or stockish. If you are seeking massive customization than go with some that have those choices(eaglesblood AOKP is a good choice). If you are looking for an iphone-like interface than Muiu might be your thing. So, sorry, but there is no one answer to this question. Many members of this site will just tell you to search and stop posting this question, but I thought I might help.

If you want stable, then get a modded stock ROM.
ICS doesn't have working video.
Cm7 has Bluetooth issues (I never use Bluetooth so I am on Cm7).

Just to say it. It's Eaglesblood AOSP lol... hope you're enjoying it.

Other options
If you get tired of Eaglesblood (not like it's bad or anything) go for AOKP. I had it on my Fascinate before I switched to the G2X and the features are simply astounding.
At this point, most of the developers are using the same performance mods (making most of the ICS roms run nearly the same in general use). So it comes down to features!

Get a SD card for Nandroids, then try many.
gpmartinson and buru898 offered great advice.
Best thing to do IMHO is to read, mostly the development threads. You'll see lots of posts regarding what works and what the current issues are with particular ROMs (and kernels).
Then get an SD card for all your flashing curiosities. I usually keep this separate from my kids' movies and all my photos that I like to keep on a different SD card. I keep Nandroid backups of each ROM I try (usually between 300 - 700 MB) and remember to rename them so I can keep 'em all straight (that's the only thing I use Rom Manager for). Also finding a good launcher set-up nicely makes a huge difference. ADW EX works so well for me on that even on stock based ROM's my G2x seems snappier than a stock Samsung GS2 or SkyRocket. I bounce back and forth all the time as it takes less than 5 minutes to restore from a backup once I have a ROM set-up the way I like.
Buru, you're on CM7? WTF? I love BuruROM 2.3.4! For reliability and battery life I too like CM7, but I'll put in a vote for Buru too :good: since that rooted stock version is awesome for battery, great GPS, and I prefer using LG Cam 3.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1166531) to the CM7 camera mod ported from LG Camera.

GB roms
Are there any GB roms that support the 21y Baseband? Im having trouble reverting back to the 21e so I am giving up soon...

singh miui 2.5 is snappy nd smooth

Closed, no such thing as a best rom.

*Poll* 4.0.4 Sense Roms

So now that we have some 4.0.4 roms out now, which ones are you using? Which is your favorite?

CleanROM for life!

CleanROM for sure. As long as scrosler keeps it up, I will be running CleanROM for the life of my phone. There's no reason to flash anything else.

CleanRom hands down
Sent from my HTC One X

Nocturnal for me, constant updates, and Xs always implementing features that myself and other ask for.
Came from CleanROM btw.

Sirius X because of the best battery life outta all of them.

Clean ROM
Clean ROM.
Better support, better stability and better looks
Scott... my donation to you

Been using CleanRom for a while. Now with 4.0.4 it is very smooth and my battery life is a bit better as well. But the best part is, it just works and works well.
Thank you Scott.

Uhhh, isn't against the rules to have "best" threads?
This should last..

Im probably going to load clean rom soon so that I can give that a shot. I was impressed when I saw someone with it.

All thats debatable Nocturnal is best for looks IMO

I currently use CleanRom as it is the most stable and best DD.
Nocturnal is snappier but it isn't nearly as reliable as Scott's Roms.

clean
CleanROM +1

It's an opinion thread. Maybe someone who hasn't tried one of the roms yet will get some incite from others and decide they wanna try it. It seems like every thread on xda nowadays has someone that feels the need to tell the op that their thread is wrong or not wanted. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Polls like this also turn picking a ROM into a popularity contest, which it should not be. Just because a ROM is popular, does not mean it will be the best for your needs. I've had devices where the lesser known ROM by a new dev ran much smoother for me and suited my needs much better than the super-popular one.
These threads also encourage laziness. Just read through the ROM threads, pick the ones that look like they fit your needs, and try them out. Looking for a few recommendations to get started is not a bad idea. But to just pick one ROM based on a thread like this, and not try others is robbing yourself of trying out some pretty cool stuff.
Asking for the "best ROM" is always going to be problematic. There is no "best" ROM for all needs or preferences. "Favorite" would be a much better word to have used.
I don't personally have a particular dislike for this thread, just throwing it out there.

We'll have official JB soon enough, and surely Scott will release a JB CleanROM shortly thereafter. And then I will flash it and smile.

Also, the same ROM will perform differently on different phones. Just because 50 other people have wonderful experiences with a ROM doesn't mean it's not going to behave strangely on yours. How you use it and the apps you have installed can have a big effect on your experiences.

Best rom ever!!

I was just messing around with my cappy today and got thinking, What was the best Rom I have ever used? My cappy is not my daily phone ( since moved on to SGS II and now Nexus 4) but still is by far my favorite phone.
So anyway the best rom for the cappy that i ever used was Firefly 3.0.1 it was only Froyo 2.2 but to this day I think it was the smoothest best looking rom ever.
What are your thoughts?

I think the mods must lock the thread. There is no such thing "best ROM". The best ROM is the one YOU like most. Period.

I think you are missing the point. I was asking what you thought was best.

I'm not missing anything. It's just another expression of the same old "best ROM" question. Just find the best one for you and use it. No matter what my opinion is, you'll still think your Froyo based Firefly is the best. In case you want to know what ROM I'm currently running - look at my signature, the info is there.

First off I'm not asking you to convince me that your rom is better, or which I should run, or which has better battery. I'm just asking out of all that have been flashed which is your favorite? Maybe I should have said favorite.
I guess thats to much to ask. I think i will just leave the captivate forums like I did before when it got overrun by a bunch of know it all dicks! It looks like they are still here!
Mods please delete this thread.

Thanks for sharing opinion. Good luck!
