I justed wanted to know everyones opinions. Which ROM fits you best, a Sense Based ROM or, a AOSP Based ROM(Cyanogenmod for example). Please leave your comments and opinions on WHY it is better than the other!!!
Cyanogen is cool and stable the most stable probably. No fc's no reboots as long as run there stable versions your guaranteed stability. And hella long battery life. Especially if run a setcpu profile along with it.
I love Cyanogenmod also. I'm going with Sense Based Roms though because of the great things that HTC incorporated into the Rom. Myn's RLS 5 for the win!
Cm is better,sense roms are boring and not so custmizable in stock as cm

CyanogenMod.
Every Sense ROM I tried felt unwieldy and unnatural. Even when I first got the EVO.

Miui is my new fave
but I always keep a back up mikfroyo
cm is awesome .. But not really on my list (maybe if I knew how to get it to work on cricket)
what I look for is battery life first
and .. Of course it must be stable
sense or asop doesn't matter to me because as long as I can use it all day long without the fc's ..
I always use a cool launcher like go, unless I am using miui .. Then I am good to go enuff sed
I would move over to CM but Myns RLS 5 is just "Oh So Sweet." If I could just find a red themed gingerbread notify bar, I would be SET FOR LIFE!!!

Had to go for the Aosp.
I do think Sense and Aosp are both fantastic. Depends on the mood!
I also think MIUI gets overloaked sometimes...
Elitte II and Kings Froyo ftw!
aosp
cm 7 nightly#8 with savage zen kernel and mixer theme definitely
Ive tried all the sense roms not a fan
if I had to pick mikfroyo for speed and for looks warm two point 2
but cm7 is way way better customization speed long battery life and way too many goodies to mention
Why is this here ?
from my phone duh
There is no question, Myn's "Warm" base ROM's are the best for the EVO.
Go and install Warm-Z or WarmRLS 5 right now, and close this thread, there is nothing better.
Lol it is the best. I havent really found anything better.

I recently rooted my inspire, first android device, and installed CM7 because it seemed amazing, not saying it isn't. I like CM7, but i like pure Gingerbreads gingerygoodness even better. I am currently running CM7-Phunky Cow "flavored"
and i like it because of the actual launcher and runs higher quadrant scores.
I like pure gingerbread, but i think i may miss the cm7 settings, some i use, also i miss HTC widgets and camera, etc, but i cant stand sense anymore.
Anyone have recomendations on ROMS, or CM7 Flavours/Mods?
Use Ultimate Droid

I have tried that and it seems alot heavier then CM7, and that's not really what im aiming for, plus the theme is wierd on it, im not sure how i'd go with changing that.
What's the reason you use it?
Its very smooth and fast and my speed increased and its just perfect for me

Right now Cm7 is starting to make me not like my phone for some reason so let's put it this way, is there a Stable, User-Friendly, non sense rom out there thats gingerbread?
The nature of all custom roms are beta's nothing more, every rom including the stock non rooted rom is subject to hiccups.

Well i guess im going to try miui, but how do i get it looking more like gingerbread, that seems heavily modded visualy... And is it using gingerbread launcher or an app launcher
If you're looking for a Gingerbread build with Sense, try RCMix 5.9.x, available for download directly via CWM.

It's using a home launcher.
If you want a pure GB home launcher, or have it look like CM7, just download ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.
I'm currenrly running ADWEx on mine...
MIUI is fully customizable, and even has its own dedicated dev forum...

My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.
Catyrom is good...don't get me wrong. .just know what your doing when flashing is all bro...and thanks for choosing caty

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work
So I've been out of the whole ROM scene for a while now, I have CM7 on my TB still and it sucks pretty hard, and I'm looking to install a new rom. I mostly tether, text, and sometimes talk on the phone. I'm not that big on apps except like sports center, twitter, and facebook...usuallly don't play games. Any suggestions on where to start?
There isn't much to complain about in regards to CM7, as we don't have a whole lot of new development. Slayher's CM7 build is still my favorite T-Bolt rom in terms of speed and stability. I run a 1.6ghz OC and it's pretty snappy. Thundershed is a very popular ROM right now and is based off of the CM7.2 codebase with an ICS theme, so I would certainly check it out if you are looking for something that feels different. You'll probably want to look into various roms on your own as it's honestly opinionated with a few exceptions.
Team Liquid is also working on an ICS rom that has working Phone and SMS, but data isn't working yet(they are coding the RIL from scratch). I would keep my eye on it as the rom will probably become ready for daily use in the near future. As soon as data works, I'll probably switch over from CM7 unless there are other issues that arise with the rom.
I used to suggest to users any rom by ThunderStick, but he was a complete dbag recently on his rom thread when questioned on one of the issues the rom had. I guess because he moved to a nexus he stopped caring about the TB. I would check out the rom list (thunderbolt development forum) and go through each one. BAMF has always been high on peoples list.

Come on, you asked a question that any amount of thought or common sense should have answered for you, thunderstick and others gave you appropriate responses. Back on topic though, skyraider is great. Thundershed, jellyblur, and sfkcm7 are awesome AOSP roms and worth a look too. There's also a bunch of solid desensed roms out there. It's best to flash some roms and get to know your own tastes that way. After all, only you know what your ideal rom is.

I've been running sfk cm7 for about a week and I love it. Great battery life and slick as hell with tiamats 1.1.5.

All of them.
Signature.
If you're looking for something different, Vicious and SPJester's MIUI rom works very nicely. It's easy to customize using the built in MIUI system. Everything but MMS works I believe, but the way the rom is set up is a bit strange (as there is no app drawer, sort of like IOS). Still, very solid and, having tried pretty much every tbolt rom out there, this is the one I always come back to.
Using JellyBlur v1.3 and having 0 problems so far. Been running it for awhile now without any problems and love it. Thinking about putting it on my husband's Thunderbolt as Skyraider Zues is giving him some problems.
Agreed Jellyblur 1.3 CM7.2 Rocks!

I'm with you, personally Jellyblur 1.3 has been the best running, slickest rom I've used. I've tried Bamf, and quite a few other roms out there. This for me is going to be my daily. I'm hoping we can get ICS (but not counting on it, and the only reason I want it is so the devs can grab the RIL and do something awesome with it).
Rem.
I love ODJDUB HD express. It's fast really nice and I get great battery life.

Jellyblur V1.3-CM7 y SPJester
I recently went through most of the recommended ROMs (after unrooting to get the OTA radio update, doing a clean wipe, then re-rooting) and I have landed on Jellyblur V1.3-CM7 y SPJester which seems to be the slickest and best-running I've seen so far. Battery life is good, audio, SMS/MMS, data, and phone work. It is thankfully De-Sensed and instead uses the Go Launcher.
Just picked up a brand new galaxy s3. Loving it so far. 1st question of many. How can I get all my emails to show up? I synced my emIl account but it still shows 0 in the in box.

CleanRom has the fewest mods, so it should be the most stable. Synergy has a ton of extra mods. Can't go wrong either way. I am running CleanROM 4.5 and have not found a reason to update.
Welcome to the club. You'll love the phone!
Try Beans 11 or clean rom 5.6
Yeah I'm loving it so far. Coming from a droid X, galaxy nexus, and now a galaxy s3 I can see a great improvement. The 1 thing that irritates me is the typing isn't as smooth as ios. It's alot better with swift keyboard but still not as smooth as I want.
I went with synergy rom and it's great. I'm guessing it's touchwiz since it comes with the touchwiz launcher (I like apex launcher).
I'll probably give aokp a try since I liked it on my nexus.
Oh yeah love the multi Window that's just bad***!
