Hey,
Im Knivez and im new to XDA but i have been around lurking and reading forums around XDA i just decided to start posting because of the variety of custom ROMS there are to choose from now a days. I have a Mytouch 4G and i love it!
Im having some trouble, with all the different custom ROMS there are (MIUI, Sense, CM7, etc...) I cant seem to decide which one i want to use. I personally so far am a fan of MIUI because of all the customization options i have on it. But i also like sense because of the look.
Which ROM is your top choice, which one do you think is the most complete and well polished one with least bugs?

First of all, welcome to XDA! Second, I am personally a fan of CM, mainly because it's one of the few ROMs that are supported for my phone, but also because of the large base of users and small amount of bugs. (at least for me)

Thank you, I used to love CM but for some reason it killed my phones battery life. I used it for some time until i got bored of it and the fact the Updates stopped coming. i Started searching for new ROMS. Im very excited for CM9 though. looking forward to it

Yeah, unfortunately I'm growing bored of it as well. Hopefully, CM9 will be out soon
Well guys, welcome to XDA Forums. I have been here for a little while and actually tried as many roms as I could. MIUI Roms are not my stuff for personal motives, but I have tested the WP7 themed rom and it was ok. CM7 has great performance and battery drain was more than acceptable, however I am kinda hooked with Sense and then tried Android Revolution, WCX Illuminati and some others Sense based. In the end, I have decided for RCMIX3D Runny V4.0. It works smoothly, has many tweaks and although battery drain is not that good it doesn't have any of the AT&T bloatware and allows to switch some OC / UV scritps among other things.
See ya...
CM7 is so far my Favorite
I have a HTC Aria and have used Liberated Aria (Nice Clean Stock 2.2 Rom) and CM7 and I just love how much you can customize on it!
I've also installed CM7 on one of my Friends Samsung Captivate and he loves it.
Looking forward to CM9 though I'm sure I'm going to need a newer phone to really enjoy it
Does Sense count as a ROM? I tought it was just a UI.
Anyway, I like CM, because of the themes support and the lots of tweaks it have.
OxygenMod on N1 is the current one i am using
I would say CM is my favorite ROM, but sometimes I like using Redemption whenever I'm in the mood to use SenseUI.
I'm a CM fan right now.

You are right Sense it's just a UI but there are two kind of roms, Sense based and AOSP such as CM.
CM mod the best favorite
Im wondering something, is what makes CM so popular the extra settings that they add? because if its the home that can easily be downloaded onto any other ROM and customized (ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, etc...)
I love both types but I'm leaning a little more towards AOSP (CM)

Checkrom
So I'm still new to flashing. Currently I have a regular AT&T GS2 rooted and running UnNamed 1.3.2. I really like it and have no problems with it.
I'm getting a Skyrocket from work next week and the first thing I plan on doing is rooting and putting on a custom ROM.
But for starters I just want to put on a stock rom which just has all the usual bloatware already removed. I'm not looking for all the flare at the moment.
I've looked through the DEV section and just can't seem to find anything that stands out. So I'm just looking for some suggestions on a ROM to try that fits what I am looking for.
Thanks.
Take a look at Space Pirate...
It's rock solid and has ridiculous idle battery life... i love setting my phone down for a couple hours and having it at the same battery percent when i pick it back up
Good day all
Well today I'll be making my impressions on the Roms I've tried so far for the last 3 months.
First is the AT&T stock Rom.. I actually didn't have much time to play with this one because I was desperate to try others Roms I Han already done some research about. All I know is that my relative in US upgraded it to Gingerbread and I had it for about 2 days and then rooted and flashed a custom Rom.
The second Rom I tried was the one I wanted the most: ARHD by mike. At that time it was 5.x I think... It felt quite good and I liked it a lot.. I started my experience with this Rom and once I got caught up by it I was hoping for new releases..
Finally mike brought us 6.x builds and at this moment I'm running 6.3.2 which has been working absolutely great so far.. just one bug with Skype and contact sync I'm having but not much of a problem indeed..
The second Rom I tried was Lord Clockan's Ice Cold Sandwich which I immediately like the looks because of the ICS system.. once I got to play with it for a while I found some already known issues with the camera, and some features still missing when I tried to personalize my device.. but in performance the Rom was very responsive, very fast, and moat important: BATTERY FRIENDLY (23 hours battery life).. however I decided to go back to ARHD because of the mentioned bugs...
Then I started a very fast Rom trial with some of the commonly know Roms such as LeeDrOid, CoreDroid and aospx... Now a quick review for those Roms..
First I tried CoreDroid and the first think I said was: "Oh! the colors!" I didn't like the theme at all, and I like blue if you must know... The colors, the icons I didn't like much the looks of this Rom, however I decided to give it a try in performance because you can always change the looks of your Rom.. So, as said, I tried the Rom, quick look to the camera, market, sms, browser, keyboard layout and responsiveness, and my general thought was OH THE COLORS! I just couldn't get pass them.. but trying to leave that aside, the Rom felt right, but not right for me...
Next I tried LeeDrOid's Rom, and I also was shocked by the colors, but moving on I did the same test as with CoreDroid.. my final decision is that I didn't like the feel of it, I liked CoreDroid better.. but I will give those two another, and more throughly, try..
Third was AOSPX with ICS, and of course seeing my Inspire running ICS is a very weak spot for me so I liked it very much... Now I had a Rom to compare with Ice Cold Sandwich .... I ran the quick tests and noticed a few differences between both Roms, for example camera worked fine in normal mode , but they had similar behavior in landscape mode... ICS had Trebuchet, and aospx didn't.. well some differences but the final decision was that aospx has very good potential and I really like it and now I'm in the wait list for any updates...
I also tried ARHD 7 with no Sense, for DHD, but I immediately went back because I didn't want to spoil the surprise for when it is Inspire ready.. I also flashed CM7.1 but never tried it for long because I didn't have time.. later I'll post a short review for it...
So now I'm following the threads for ARHD, Lord Clockan and AOSPX and I'm expecting any updates for those Roms which in my opinion are the best for my usage..

IceColdSandwitch is a perfect blend of aosp and CyanogenMod. I tried to go back to CyanogenMod 7.1, but ended up flashing IceColdSandwitch 30 minutes later.

So I just got my s5 coming from a s3. From the very first week i got my s3 I installed an aosp rom and kept aosp till two days ago... never really heard any "modem" talk on that side of the forum. Now that I got an s5 and aosp roms are not really an option (I have a kid and need a working camera). Im looking at TW roms but all this modem talk is confusing me... also odex and deodex?? What?? Ima root soon so plz help out a newb! Thx
Modem is one part of android that controls the in and out signals from mobile networks, and switching of different types of mobile signals. MOAR is awesome TW ROM. Deodexed is basically a rom where apps are made easier to modify and theme by changing the way the java code is read. Odexed would be a totally stock Rom that's supposed to load faster and run smoother, which in my experience even on deodexed, after 1st few power cycles, runs and loads about the same.
