there is no best rom out there because what 1 person may like the other person may not ya digg
so my advice to you would be just try them all till you find 1 you like

Here comes 20 posts about cm7 >_>...

Thanks for the info I do understand that and I guess I'm looking for other combo's Rom and kern. That work well together. But I will try others.

I think I may have opened a can of worms. I did read about cm7 and see pros and cons. I have been looking at leedroid's Rom. Mudknot I would like to thank you for your guide very nice. Do you have any recommendation's?

As doo doo said and I have said in other threads, there is no "BEST" rom. They all are good in their own right, and all of them have their downfalls some more then others.
I have flashed all of them, and I like some more then others. Honestly its all personal preference.

Leedroid for stability and battery with all the features working. CM 7 for the stock feeling but has terrible drain TERRIBLE

I like the sense ones.
However I almost always return to a stock. The best to me are stock with all the bloat ripped out. There is no need to OC yet as the phone is plenty fast. Maybe in 4 or 5 months. /Shrug

I've been using RCmixHD for quite some time and I love it. They just realeased a new rom with SENSE 3.0 and it's beautiful. This latest rom is quite new and there are some improvements that I know will come with some time.
As everybody here will tell you, you will need to experiment and make your own decision on which is best for you.

Stock and Inpired Ace for me.

I am loving team phoenix's new rom. Takes the best of cm 7, + lord mods smartass kernel and makes a very smooth and battery efficient offering.

I really like RCMix Kingdom ROM. It is a work in progress, but sense 3.0 is pretty sweet in my opinion. But like others have said, it all comes down to your own personal preferences. Have fun with it and just go flash crazy lol

I'm loving konikubs elite 3 and kings cocoa 2.

I'm liking Android Revolution right now, but I'm just getting into this whole thing of flashing and what not. I had CoreDroid before, but just found it a bit too complex/too many options for now. Android Revolution to me seems somewhat like stock, but just better optimized. But I plan on trying some other ROMs out there, looking at some of the RCMixes and maybe LeeDroid's

Revolution is a very nice Sense based Rom, I flip back to that one when I get a taste for Sense.

What is the fastest and best rom to go with

I am looking for a fast,smooth,stable nd good on battery life to go with. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Depends what you want. Aosp, sense 3.0, or sense.3.5

what is the difference between sense 3.0 and 3.5? and which one was on the stock sensation 4g?

3.0 came on sensation 4g

i think that we needed a new platform to support these new senses 3.0 and 3.5

InsertCoin is the best ROM for the Sensation hands down. Performance and battery life is outstanding.

This is funny!
I would say you try by yourself and decide for yourself, Everyone has different opinions and will probably give you their own personal perspective.
You might have a different opinion and like something else or maybe not. just flash the most used ones and see if you like them and go from there.

I agree with this guy here as opposed to the other two members. I've tried BOTH roms listed and they're basically the same. Just very ever so slightly different. I used to use ARHD but then I started using other roms because Mike doesn't update his often. InsertCoin gets updated pretty good but I experience issues once in a while (it's nothing severe though) and it's not a bad rom at all. I'm using bulletproof though because I love all the mods he adds on. It's really up to you, gotta try and find out what you want and like.

Agree that it's up to you to try, test, tune, etc what's best for your needs & likes! Take a deep read in the Development section...happy flashing!

CM7 is the best rom on sensation by far.

CM7.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

I started using custom ROMs with my G1 and CyanogenMod. I stuck with that exclusively for a really long time through different devices. Since it has taken a while for CM to come out on the Sensation, I started flashing all kinds of different ROMs. That's the beauty of Android and XDA. You can try all kinds of stuff out and decide what you like the best. I currently use Android Revolution HD 4.1.3 (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5) with the Amaze camera. I'll use this until a stable version of CM comes out with a better camera. I also use ADW.Ex launcher. This works for me for now because it has a really nice camera, but I've tried a TON of ROMs. Whatever you do, ALWAYS search for answers, use the appropriate forums (General, Q&A, Themes & Apps) properly, and have fun.

Cm7. If I want a sense buzz I'll go with bulletproof 2.15. You can't beat those tweaks.

I checked the following thread and made my decision: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200118
I don't want to give recommedations since there are a couple of awsome mods floating out there...

If you like Sense and eye pleasing colours and animations go with CoreDroid. Wipe battery stats when you flash a new rom (made a big difference for me).

any devs going to the Amaze 4g?

so im finally making the switch to a duel core phone, and decided to go with the HTC amaze 4g. i like samsung but there phones seem so flimsy to me, touchwiz is awful and m experience with the galaxy s was a weird one. anyways...i was just wondering if any of our favorite devs are moving/planning on moving or deving on the amaze. I have loved the development on this phone and have grown fond of the work of certain devs, (faux123, team royal, and TDJ). after seeing that tdj moved to the SGS2, it almost made me want to throw my amaze on craigslist, although i saw Faux wich made me happy ha. anyways i hope i see development on that phone as good as the mt4g was/has been.

Faux123 has an amaze but there is no s-off so no roms for s-on devices. Tdj and royalknight aka darkside dev team went to the sgs2. Your best bet is the amaze if you don't mind waiting for s-off

Not true. For the amaze you don't need s-off. All you need is an unlocked bootloader. I bought my girl the amaze because her mt4g broke. Unfortunately it came s-on (some people will be lucky enough and have s-off already when when receiving their amaze) so the same week I bought her the phone, I unlocked the bootloader. Its almost the same as s-off. I was able to grant her permroot and she can even flash custom roms and kernels. I already debloated her amaze and added a custom battery, tether and have setcpu running on it to get better battery life.
At this moment I'm researching on which custom rom is best for her so I can flash.
So if you lurk the amaze forum you'll see they have a few selection on custom roms, kernels and mods.

where'd you buy yours and how much? Just wondering cause I don't think phones are worth half a grand.

Just got the amaze today.basically a larger mytouch4g.Although it has a higher screen resolution,there isn't that great a difference from the mytouch.the camera is better no doubt.actually,its quite good for a camera.build is solid,yet remains light to the touch.
Sense 3.0 is so much smoother than any sense rom.
its abeautiful phone.
Recently got and unlocked a Sammy infuse.it has a nice Tom selection,which are high quality roms (Zeus) thanks dman,my daughter loves it.
I thought I'd prefer the amaze,but provably should have tried the sgs2.
Amaze is very good though!
Edit:yeah,that extra tenth of an inch on the Samsung phones makes a difference.atleast with the Zeus rom ,the infuse is kickass and so much smoother than any mytouch rom. Yet I made my choice.
Not dissatisfied,but miss that butter from the Sammy.

I prefer Android Revolution HD (i'm on 6.5.1, will try 6.5.2 later today), InsertCoin also worked like a charm on my device. At the end it's personal preference I think. But look at the number of replies on the ARHD thread, it shows how active the Android Revolution team and the community is. The support is amazing. I love it.

I am using elegancia rom, arhd is simple rom where u must add every think by yourself, elegancia have everything built in, and also is beautifle. Aaaand also u can chose some options in instalation like oc kernel (better cpu, like 1,5 or 1,7 instead 1,2). Give it a try, i wont be dissapointed.

IC is by far the smoothest and it gets updated at least 2 times per week. ARHD is good too but I always return to IC! Try them and choose the one that fits your needs

+1 for Android Revolution The support is mega, thats what i love more than anything.
Fair enough you may have to add modds / tweaks yourself, But thats because not everyone wants a ton of mods n stuff, Some people just want a stock looking custom ROM.
IMO its better than having them all built into the ROM and having to dissect it to remove the stuff you dont want..
But the main thing is personal preference.... There is not better / worse ROM

I must agree with that, u must try it for u self and decide. Unless there is a rom, wich is very, very, very bad, but talking about all main roms, u must decide for u self.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try each one of these roms that has been mentioned.. What I'm looking for is something that looks good, has very good battery life and is fast. First one I'm going to try is InsertCoin. Is there any good asop roms floating about.. I used to use Oxygen Rom on the HTC Desire S.

I've tried alot of roms but keep coming back to one Rom, that's Ordroid. I just love it! Recently I've tried Pkmn, Elegenceia, insert coin, and more but I'm drawn back to Ordroid. It's so nice, smooth x fast x and the customization can't be beat! I'm probably gonna try a few more for the sake of trying them but it's likely I just come back to Ordroid again! It's so lovely! Unless there is something out there that knocks my socks off I'm probably going to keep Ordroid. Hope this helps in some way

I would say Pkmn rom with sense 4.0 is best for customisation, the amount of tweaks available is staggering, along with great performance

For me it would have to be Virtuous Inquisition. I wasn't a fan of Sense 3.6 and prefer the stock ICS look, tho Sense 4 looks amazing and I have yet to try a ROM running it. I'll probably try PkMn eventually but I'm loving VI right now!

As requested by a lot of ROM chefs please dont compare ROM's as it can be rude and offensive to chefs
