[POLL] What ROM do you use?

NEW THREAD HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415214

I am using miui 1.7.29. Read about some problems with the new version so I will stay at the "old" one cause its running pretty good
Btw I would like to see more Roms but I hope there will be more in the future.

Rooted stock, I tried CM7, but it was very unstable, keyboard sucked and interface wasn't that cool either. I'm thinking about some Sense 3 ROM, but reading about all of those bugs... Too bad we don't have more custom ROMs and Kernels.

if you like stock feel you should try LBC rom it is much better than stock ,you can always return to stock if you want for warrenty
if you want sense 3.0 you should try Virtuous Unity it only has a few minor graphical bugs

I have tried Virtuous Unity (1.27 at the time). It was nice to try some of the Sense 3.0 stuff, quite stable. I found some strange problems with widgets on adw.launcher and so I moved on to look at some other roms.
Next up I tried LBC. This is a nice and stable rom. No complaints.
I did want to move to CyanogenMod though, so I next tried out Superkid's compiled 7.1 beta (v1.1). I did like it and am impressed. The only issues I found were the known issue that airplane mode draws weirdly excessive battery and I had an issue where subsequently on recharging the phone reported being fully charged at only 92%(?!).
I will be returning to CyanogenMod down the track but I have voted for LBC as I will be using it in the mean time.
I would like to say thanks to all the various developers for the time and effort they have put into these roms.

miui & stock

I use LBC
Air plane more drawing excessive battery happens across most roms

switching between LBC and virtuous

Using LBC MOD for the past 2 days, did a full wipe + the EXT4 flash, few problems -
1) Battery drain, idle stats - 40-45 mA & in use 90-190 mA.
2) Has hung twice till now since loading.
3) After reboot the screens with widgets take longer to populate and the swiping is laggy and unresponsive
Have I done something wrong or is it better to go back to the stock rom till the problems are taken care of? If anyone could assist with answers. Thanks

Virtuous Unity at the moment...
Maybe switching to MiUi

Tried lbc, virtuous and coredroid. Coredroid best in my opinion.

Seems to be the only way to test it as other users are getting lower values....

I've used Virtuous Unity most of the time. Maybe switching to Coredroid if there is another look available.

used virtuous for long time - totally happy with this
now i'm on miui - great homescreens
great battery with both!
love this phone!
Thanks to all the devs!

miui 1.8.5

[Q] Best and Fastest ROM + Kernel

What is the Fastest ROM and Kernel out there for the Desire S ?
-Sense Rom and
- CM7 Rom

This question has been asked too many times
But to answer the question, go for oxygen or cyanogenmod if you want speed
Use tiamat for overclocking or just stick with the cm kernel. I found it didn't really make a difference
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

I am very pleased with my current combination of Tiamat and Miui, its very fast and smooth with zero glitches or crashes.

i only found a Desire Version of the Oxygen Rom, can i take this version ?

No you cannot. Do not try it.
Here is the link for oxygen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235864
There is still one issue but if that bothers you try out cyanogenmod.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

here the link, if u want to try cyanogen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297575

IMO, stock sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 is fast and smooth as cyanogenmod and miui but the difference is only used heavier resource.

I'm using Endymion V2.2, its fast and stable

I'm using stock gingerbread launcher and cm7.1 and tiamat kernel 1.1.5 fast and stable

im not sure of kernals but, felt oxygen is slightly more faster than cyanogenmod nightly build 52 during my use...

I'm using the Virtuous Rom for my Desire S. Works smooth and ist also stable with a CPU underclocked to 100mhz. Cause I'm new to the Forum I cant post the Link but the domain is: virtuousrom.com

Ok, i will try first the Virtuos ROM ad then the CM7 Stable and Nightly

CM7 all the way its so fast and great battery life

I am using CM7 for a while now. I think it's pretty good. Also, flashed Tiamat kernel an hour ago. Seen some YT videos saying that this kernel is fast and gives battery a good run. Well, I'll hope it's all true.

Of you decide to go with sense, I recommend sense 3.5 ROM as they are significantly faster than sense 3.0 ROMs

Strange. I get +36hours with heavy use. Thats at least 3 to 4 hours with screen on (set on auto), loads of sync, calls, texts, music ecy.
I think it's okay batterylife isn't it?

Close

. .. ... . ... ......

After flashing several 3.0 and 3.5 ROMS I have to say the Virtuous ROM is very stable. I've had no problems, lags or FCs.
I have not tried any ICS ROMS so can't comment on their stability.

I have three nandroids of Roms that I use, all of which are pretty good:
Virtuous Sensation - has most Sense
HyperNonSense - has a little Sense
RevertedAOSP - zero Sense, stock Android
My daily driver is RevertedAOSP because it is fast, solid, and with a few tweaks does everything I need it to do.

Good stuff.
Thanks guys

He's asking for ICS not gingerbread!
Anyways, I'm using webstar1's Ultimite ROM. Very smooth when compared to the other sense based roms. pretty much is AOSP, except for the Dialler/Contacts and camera apps. would recommend, very stable, hadn't had one FC yet. :]

Android Revolution HD (currently im using the 3.6.8 version see my signature) is good. It's stable and it's just like the stock ROM only more tweaked and overclocked to 1.5GHz. Despite that all the battery life is longer than the stock ROM itself while performance improves, so I would recommend you this ROM.
Must say that I haven't tried other ROMS yet (only the ARHD ICS ROM once, but after 30 minutes playing around I was bored so put it back to 2.3 with nandroid backup)

I just flashed Virtuous ICS 1.3.0 today and so far, while certainly beta, looks really stable! Unless something creeps out of the corners, looks like this will be my new daily driver for a while.

I haven't tried an AOSP yet. Thanks for the recommendation. 100% trying that right now !

Well, have flashed twice daily, since I owned the Sensation a couple weeks back, tried every rom in the android forum, a couple of roms i feel are rock solid stable, not force closing once, and a nice amount of battery, they are LeeDroids rom and CoreDroid rom, thats my opinion only, and for you just keep flashing, I also too am not a fan (yet) of ICS roms....... what am I using now???? see my signature

[Q] What is the best rom,kernel, or mod for excellent battery life?

I'm running EnergyROM right now, and honestly I'm not really impressed with the battery life. Looking for something that I can actually see improvement or better battery life.
Thanks :cyclops:

I really like the battery life on Cm9 and on trickdroid... give them a shot
I loved energy at first on my amaze 4g but he started tweaking it so the standby doesn't use hardly any battery... and ever since I wasn't a fan of his rom over on that phone... haven't tried it on the one s yet.. prolly won't

I'm using TrickDroid 6.1 with Virtuous Kernel. Been averaging 22-26 hours with simple usage.

I'm using trickdroid v5.1 (eu not t-mob) and it's performing good, if you like the stock sense look try it

CM9 and AOKP by far have had better battery life than any of the Sense roms.

Do not agree, AOSP ROMs are still full of bugs, so the devs could not concentrate on performance so much.
But if the bugs are solved I am sure sou can get a good battery life with them as well.
Without making my ROM good, trickdroid with virtuous kernel v06 is brilliant

I've used both AOSP and sense based roms (Trickdroid, Energy, etc.) and really haven't noticed too much of a difference in battery life using stock the kernel. AOSP roms are quicker than the Sense-based roms, however with Sense removed... it's just as quick.
If you throw a custom kernel on the sense-based roms, they easily win out. As Torxx said, AOSP roms are still in alpha and the devs are still working on getting a stable release. Once they get the bugs worked out... I'm sure the AOSP roms will again be just as good, if not better.

Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I'm looking more for Roms with nearly everything working so, aosp and cm are a no go for me right now.
I suppose I'll give the trickdroid with the virtuous kernel a shot.
As for miui, I will also but I'm not a BIG fan of miui.
The sense stock sense is working for me though.
I just don't like the "no exteneded power button menu" on trickdroid like EnergyROM has. I like to take screenshots just by holding the power button and pressing it.

Was going to say the same. the latest CM9 build i tried was actually quite good.. but the camera and all the little bugs (nothing too major, just annoyances really) are what drive me back to a sense base.... The camera on any AOSP based rom is DISMAL compared to what we get with sense. Even the picture quality is not the same. I honestly couldn't BELIEVE how much a difference the software made!!
I have tried all the Sense roms and every update that comes out, well... cause i have a problem, BUT i can say, that at least for me (in the US on Tmobile) the TrickDroid rom is hands down the best IMO. I can actually clock my cpu DOWN and it still flies, i get RIDICULOUS battery life (day and a half with moderate use).
I would say give that a shot OP but DEFINITELY flash the tweaks package!!! Pretty awesome options in there!!

First I was on trickdroid and yes I had a better battery life than stock! But I like to test roms so now I'm on Paranoid Android based on CM9 and the battery life is good to me (2 days with a "normal use" but that means nothing) and the tablet mode is amazing!

What are the best kernels ?

Axiom S 1.5 is pretty awesome especially if you like using phone to listen to music. Volume is LOUD and sound is clear with audio tweak options. Battery life excellent plus you get an ICS color theme.

[POLL] Which ROM are you using?

Seeing that there are many options to choose from, I guess than a poll may help us decide. Which ROM are you using now. Are you happy with it and would you suggest it to others?

i'm using the stock one as it shows in my signature.i'm very happy with it
there is no need to suggest it to every one else because everybody has seen it:silly:

I am using bruces CM10 ROM. Working great!

I'm on DragunKorr's Paranoid Android 2.11.
Buttery as hell and i love the hybrid modes. It's not 100% working yet, but the missing elements are so minor that they don't affect me for how I use my phone.
If I weren't using this, I'd be on Bruce's CM10. He really set the standard there with that one and it's only cos I love the hybrid modes that I'm not using it.
Both ROMs have breathed new life into my phone - finally, the full power of the sensation has been realised!!!

pyromod CM9 here, pretty stable and fast. Good battery life too. I would definitely suggest it.

On Bruce's cmx and enjoying it very much very pleased that the CRT animations are fully functioning and the stock SMS app had pop ups now like hand cent does ^^ once they manage to get the front facing camera functioning I will never leave it I have also used berserk mode on by memnoc which I thought was very nice but the fact that I couldn't use wii remotes through Bluetooth on my emulators pushed me to full aosp not too sure where I am going with this aside from Bruce's cmX is highly recommended by me :thumbup: front facing camera and usbotg is all we need now

What about battery life, how is it?

I've tried several different roms. Virtuous Inquisition is good but it was giving me wrong battery reading, kept jumping up and down and I couldn't tell how much battery I had. CM9 is nice but the front facing camera doesn't work (at least on the versions I've tried). CM10 Jelly Bean by Bruce is great but it's unfinished, a couple of things are not working (front facing camera for 1).
I'm on ViperS 1.2.1 right now and I LOVE it. The rom is pretty fast and stable. I enjoy the tweaks the devs have put on it a lot. Battery life is pretty decent. I got around 18 hours on average use.
I think if you want speed and smoothness, go for the CM or AOSP builds, they beat all other in that department. I personally enjoy Sense 4 so I go with Viper S.

I used HyperNonSense for 5 months and just flashed Android Revolution HD an hour ago, no reason other than trying new rom

you have not forgotten anything? smartdroid daemon sense 4? I do not see

Used OpenSensation for some time and was very satisfied except that many icons and fonts are just too small for me. Switched to Anroid Revolution HD 6.7.2 and I love it.
Battery life is just average I think. Since I disabled Wifi, I can live with it.

Hi there, I'm using Viper Rom. I am happy with it! The update had made it much better I do have some weird issues sometimes like Bluetooth turning on by itself but for me that's about the only negative issue I'm experiencing. I do like the customization and really like sense 4.1. I would like to see better battery life from the Rom.but I'm now using sebastian kernel with mod and a slight under volt plus a new mugen battery and I've actually managed to stay on 100% for three hours! Thank God! So hopefully the battery issue is solved. But all in all for the people who like sense roms, yes I would recommend viper. Hope this information helps some how and I wish you the best!

I use Viper 1.3.0
Major categories of custom ROM according to me are -
Sense based - sense 4.0 based or
Sense 3.6 based
sense 4 based
Eg viper, insertcoin, ordroid etc
Sense 3.6 based -
Eg arhd, elegancia, etc
IPhone look - MIUI
Samsung look - cyanogen mod
Plain android - AOKP/AOSP Based
I have very less experience on these. I prefer sense based.
