No opinion threads, flash different ones and see what's best for you. Also, this wouldn't even be the right section. This thread will probably be closed soon. Happy flashing!
Do you want customization?
Do you want stability?
Do you like sense or stock ics/jb?
Find out what you want in a Rom first. Each Rom here caters best to somebody.
Make a backup of what you have and flash away. Go back to what you had if you don't like what you install. That's the fun part.

I don't want to end up breaking my HTC and flash all sorts of feg ROMS. Can I install ROMs that are from 2012 etc?

No your device will explode. Lol anything from this forum should be fine as long as you have the dual core version.

I want slick, fast, and fun customization all the way form changing the boot logo sound to customizing the animation, and beyon dth at, a lot of good tweaks etc.
There is no "best" ROM. Everyone has different preferences, and uses their phones differently. Its like asking people what their favorite color is. They can give you an answer what they like. But it has absolutely no bearing on whether you will like it or not.
"Best ROM" threads are frowned upon here. This thread will be closed.

I've S offed and rooted. I'm a bit skeptical of installing a rom. My concerns are of battery life, stability, and receiving calls. Is there any rom out there for the desire s now that is atleast 95% completed with a few bugs?

For me, LBC v0.5.3 works flawlessly - 100% complete in my opinion. No stability issues for me whatsoever.. No crashes, FCs etc, no issues making or receiving calls, smoothness better than stock and battery life same/better than stock. It's a no brainer IMHO.

I'm waiting for an AOSP rom (CM 8hopefully), because that's my preference, but for a sense rom LBC is the best I've used.
Does the rom need you to flash kernels or radios? I'm not very good with that. Also can anyone send me a link

Look in the development forum, titles LBC mod, see link in my signature, it is suggested that you flash a new radio, but, all instructions are provided within the first post and on the supporting website
You shouldn't really start flashing until you feel reasonably comfortable with the process, so I'd suggest that you spend a day or two day reading the entire thread and the site before you do.
You can then ask any questions regarding anything you are unsure or are un clear about in the rom thread

You can try virtuous unity too
Try virtuous unity 1.29.0, its pretty stable too, running sense 3.0.

DO NOT FLASH radio's unless you really need to, we know a lot about the Nand and can recover from almost any error there, but the nvram, radio etc is a different story. A bad radio flash, could mean you end up with a very expensive calculator!
The stock HTC European Baseband (radio) is: 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M. I did not need to change mine when I flashed LBC. Different carriers will have different radio's.
You can flash a Kernel any time after you flash your rom, otherwise the rom flash will simply overwrite your kernel flash. Pick the wrong kernel and it can cause you a lot of problems, although these should be easily recoverable. The only way to learn that, is experience.
Hi guys!
I'm using standard Gingerbread Android ROM and I'm getting a little tired of it so wanted to ask if someone could suggest some ROMs to try. Also, I'm not sure how to flash them on Nexus S. I heard that there are many Androids that can be rooted by clicking one button in an app, but for Nexus I found a long tutorial here on XDA and I'm a little hesitant to try it.
Any tips will be appreciated!
Thanks much
Okis
I have tried out just about all of the roms out there now for the nexus s and now I have reverted back to stock. I have found something wrong with every rom I have tried. Custom roms are just too buggy for me even ones marked as "stable". If you're willing to deal with bugs things not working phone reboots and dropped calls by all means try some custom roms. Now I'm just waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich to come out.
oxygen rom is one of the better ones out there.
oh and btw nexus s is one of the easiest phones to root follow the guides carefully and you'll be done in minutes.
This has been discussed couple of times here, do a search.
For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239365
If you don't really feel comfortable flashing a ROM, hang around in dev section where most ROM & guidelines are available and read the feedback from users on each ROM and see which one fits your needs.
And there are NO best ROM only most suitable to your needs, what is best for others doesn't necessarily fit your needs.
I'm with blowtorch, you have to try it to find out yourself...I myself did and at the end of the day I'm perfectly comfortable with stock rooted.
The longer and harder thing to root a Nexus is to installer drivers on computer. After it's fast and easy.
Oxygen is great after 2 or 3 days. I use adw launcher ex, or stock launcher.
Sms, mms, video gtalk, video skype and so on.
Everything is juste ok.
2 days of battery life with heavy use.
I try ns collab, superosr, it's great too. More cyanogen like.
I never use miui more than 5 minutes...but i read and heard that it's a good rom too.
I love Ice and Fire. Has an Ice Cream Sandwich style launcher. Lots of extras.

This x100.
Stock Rom may not be flashy but its rock solid and fully functional.
I once searched for something like this and found that there's no clear cut answer for "best" ROM. Like others said try them all (one you figure out how to flash) or do watch videos showing off each rom to get a sense of what it's like. I don't have my NS yet but I'll be trying NSCollab and SuperOSR when I get it. Odd considering I'm not a CM7 fan...
Depends on the features you are looking for. For me at least, I got the Nexus S so I could have stock AOSP. I've been sticking with Oxygen for a while now as its close to stock with some useful added features. CM wasn't for me though I may give it another shot soon.
There's a lot of tutorials on youtube that show you how to flash a ROM. I suggest you watch a few of 'em to get an idea how to do it properly.
As for the best ROM, like others have said, it all depends on your needs. I use Oxygen because it's very stable and has extra features that I find pretty useful.
I also like minimal bloatware so I downloaded ES File Explorer and removed most Google apps since I never use 'em!

I read about it already, and the question is - is there a simpler way to root Nexus S than installing all of these SDKs etc on the computer? I guess, not from what I see here.
Don't worry, I won't **** my pants)
there is one...give it to someone who knows how to do it.
You are asking for best ROM, how to flash it, finding simpler way to root it without installing SDK, etc. on computer....and that's the only way I can think of.

cm7.1.0 RC ns-kang. its in rom manager. there is a 7.1.0 stable release but causes random reboots.
Hey all. I haven't messed much with my phone since shortly after the HOX was released. Im still running Android 4.0.3, and build 1.88. Can anyone point me to what is the most popular ROM out right now? Also, what's the current build and how can i update to it?? I dont use my phone for much more than a phone, so battery life and fast performance is what's important to me. Any help and or instructions would be great!
These threads aren't actually allowed. There is no "best rom".
Having said that, you need to ask yourself whether you like the HTC sense interface.
If you do, CleanROM and viper are probably the most popular. I personally like CleanROM.

What is the current alternative to HTC Sense?? And what is the latest build??
Dunno. I don't venture into those parts. There are 2 development forums. One for sense bases roms and one for completely original roms. I guess cm10 would be something original.
Have a look around for yourself.

This thread will get locked soon, so the best thing for you to do is go to the Development section and start reading. All you need to know is there.
As already stated, if you want to know which ROM is best for you, go to the development section and do your homework. Flash ROMs until you find the one that best suits your needs. "Best ROM" threads are not permitted.

Hello all,
Been out of the game for a while, but with the S3, and the horrible OTA update that killed the S3, I'm back.
Did the root & recovery via this method: LINK
Now, I am looking for a ROM, thinking of just going with pure stock, without bloatware BS. What is the favorite, stable ROM out these days? (Just reading up on all of them now, just looking for overall favorites these days.)
If by stock, you mean TW, then there's no 4.2.1. If you mean AOSP (truly not bloated at all), it's currently in 4.2.2. So I'm confused on what you want. I can't comment in TW ROMs, because I strongly prefer AOSP, but if you want AOSP, I'd go with LiquidSmooth personally. SlimROM is also great, as is Paranoid Android.

Because of the question. The fact is that while we can recommend you a ROM we can't guarantee that you will get the same experience that we did. Which is why moderators encourage us to try the ROMs out ourselves.
"Thread closed as "Best" rom for one user is not necessarily the "Best" for another.
Users are encouraged to read and determine what is best for them by reading the knowledge shared via posting.
These threads always spiral into arguments about one rom over another, and thus, trolling ensues.
Please do not post "Best Rom" threads." or even favorite

I never expected any guarantee. As its the General section and it even says 'tips'... I figured asking what people like, currently, would be a good way to look for a ROM so I can read the info and the user feedback in the ROM thread.
Kinda sad users can't get other users opinions for ROMs.
Oh well.

My advice to you for AOSP is to test the ROM based on what you're looking for in a ROM. Also after reading your post since you are not asking for help in choosing a ROM I don't think they close this thread only if you flat out ask us to help you pick a ROM.

"A new ROM" is pretty ambiguous. Are you considering a modified stock ROM - rooted, debloated, tetherguard removed, etc? Or an AOSP-based ROM?
It seems to me that we can certainly use a well considered modified stock ROM. Mostly I like the stock ROM but there is room for improvement.
In the AOSP world, a Cyanogen ROM is available and being actively developed. Personally I like its minimalist approach, but many would prefer a more full-featured one like PAC-ROM. We are at an early stage for Marshmallow, and for the Snapdragon 617, so there is much work to be done here.
Whichever direction you take it will be appreciated; we need more options for the A9.
Greg
Hell Yeah !!!!!!!!!! That Sir would be great.
For those who dont know who I am,been doing this a long time with much success, they ROM would be stock on outside but heavily modified from kernel on. So I will begin messing with this ROM
as this device seems to have next to no development going on and gotta start somewhere. Once I have a flashable build Ill need some testers. Testing depending on if any issues can take a week to two weeks before release will be out to public
If interested in testing, leave message here and when its ready the fun will begin,
Thanks,

I'm interested. Particularly if you can remove tetherguard (I paid for tethering with TMO but it is being blocked - grrrr). If you can keep the best of HTC, add the best of open source, while removing the worst it would be greatly appreciated. Until CM13 and support for the 617 catches up it seems like the most promising approach.
Will we have to be S-off to be testers? If not count me in.

An over-clocked kernel maybe, turn snapdragon 617 to 810 v2?
Or changing the white annoying splash boot by inverting the white color to black, and in the same way remove the red text "This is a developer build....."
I think you have to make something with the aboot.bin inside the firmware and make is too a RUU-zip...
Also it would be nice if you could describe for us / learn me how you change/hexEdit that particular binary aboot.bin.

Even more automated could be an aroma installer to get rid of the redText and invert the white color
Definitely interested in testing if you need anyone else to help. AT&T variant, S-Off, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Very familiar with HTC devices over the years.
