Guy this question has been asked a thousand times with a thousand different answers. There is no top or stable ROM, they are ALL GREAT. Only what you feel best using and your needs of it. Try a few on for size and see what works for you and feels best for you. Coredroid for a stock look or absolution 3.7 for a no sense. But then these are my favorites but watch how many more responses you get till you get closed.

Look, I use my phone as a work phone (so I need an amount of stability), and I find aospx AR28 stable enough for a daily (that said, AR26 saw fewer freezes and reboots, food for though).
However, if you need camcorder, aospx (any ICS?) isn't for you.

Well lets start with congrats man on getting an Inspire. The Inspire community is awesome and there is a constant flow of great work being done by the amazing devs here. First, please search. I don't mean to come off as a jerk but it is part of the rules you agreed to when you signed up and literally if you searched "best rom" or "stable rom" you would most likely see what we have all been telling you and that is: There is no best stable ROM. Every ROM has its issues. What one person swears by another person won't. Only you know what you're willing to live with and live without. Try some ROMs out and see what works best. Here are my recommendations but they are by no means an all inclusive list of "best ROMs", just my personal preference.
Sense 3.5 = Bindroid
Basically stock = Cleardroid
AOSP/CM = Absolution
ICS = Redemption or Melchizedek
if i could stay on one rom long enough to find out if it's stable or not would be a great thing. stupid ROM A.D.D.

Don't forget cyanogen7.2 (newest release) for a wide variaty of customization.
Like others said before there are tons of roms in the developer section of the xda/inspire4g.
Welcome to the freedom of android. The best thing about rooting is the personalization. You can find just about any theme, os, app, or widget you can imagine.
Start with the ace hack kit, read the effin manual (that's what its called) do some reading on the available roms, download from the site or open up rom manager (if available) flash from rom manager.
Which ever rom you choose remember read the first post on the dev thread back and forth up and down. Once you do that...... read it again. All the important info you need for that rom is in the first post.
If you have questions on terms or what something is. Just Google said something followed by xda htc inspire 4g and you should find exactly what your looking for.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Sorry guys been under the weather for a few days. Still trying to kick it.
As stated none can tell you what rom will work best or be the most stable on your device and your set up. Even stock roms have bugs. It is just something you live with or dig in and try to fix when you own a smart phone.
Just pay attention to the OP of each thread and so the proper research and you will be fine.

I have been using my brilliant sensation for a while...(with vipers rom)...and there are some issues out there...laggy,battery drains......if I am looking for stable and lagfree,which sense rom should I go for?It doesnt matter what sense version it is Do you guys have any recommendations?
Sent from my sensation using xda premium
It's always best to try them out for YOURSELF and then draw your own conclusion. Many people have all different opinions which might not reflect your own. The fun part is the experimentation.! You and you alone know what your looking for, and what will suit you best. We are so fortunate to have some really great roms to choose from. Please take my advice and head over to sensation android development site and read about the roms. If one catches your eye try it out. Always make your androids backup so you can easily change back to what your running now if you don't like the Rom, or run into any issues . Read each change log. The developers are very honest about what is working and what is not working so you won't have any surprises. This really is the best way to find a ROM that suits your needs. It's always best to try out SEVERAL, then form your own opinions. You are really short changing yourself if you only go by others opinions. So shop around, read change logs, read about the different roms and try them out for YOURSELF. You will be much happier with your own opinions. I wish you the best and happy flashing! I'm sure you will find exactly what suits you best by experimenting. Best of luck and have fun with it!

Hi,
Look HERE
I've tried many roms out there and all of them have problems. (Well actually the only problems is it randomly reboots and I have some play store problems.)
So I need to know what's the most stable jellybean rom out atm. extra features aren't as important as stability and speed. Thanks!:good:
In my opinion, CM10. You get a new nightly every day with updated features/fixes. And h8rift did an amazing job on it.

His title is misleading. He is looking for the most stable Rom not the best one. That said, people have different results with roms your best bet is to try them out and see which runs best for you. In general, sense roms are more stable than jb

I'm getting a One X for my girlfriend either tonight or tomorrow. She's very technically incapable, she just wanted something better than that Lumia 900 she's had for a while and I found this One X on the cheap lol. Basically I'm gonna root, unlock, and flash a ROM on day 1 cause I've had HTC devices before and the battery and stock performance is usually....meh, to put it nicely. So I'd rather avoid that headache and just cut the problem straight at the beginning.
I'm looking through the development section and I've narrowed it down to 3. Maximus, Android Revolution, and ORDroid. Now the key things I'm looking for here are:
1) Ease of use
2) Stability
3) Battery life
4) Preferably OTA updates cause it's so easy even a girlfriend can do it.
5) Preferably no compromises on camera, wifi, bt, or anything.
I know it seems like I'm asking a lot, but really I just want to know what's my best option here and since I don't have a One X myself to test these ROMs out there's nobody better to ask than you guys. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

The first 2 are for the international version. Be careful and don't flash them...
I would recommend from the bottom of my heart Cleanrom 5.1 (no theming) together with elementalx 3.0 kernel (using stock values to avoid issues)..

Yea those are all international roms, all very capable of turning that sexy phone into a paperweight. If she likes stock, go for cleanrom. Really quick.. Likes stock but can mod, try viper, it has everything. Likes the look and feel of jellybean? I say flash dirty rom. Want best of both? MergeX is sense themed out like aosp.

Thanks, so I'm assuming without checking it out that Cleanrom is ICS based? I'd like something JB based so I can steal her phone every once in a while to check out Google Now lol (Optimus G has practically zero development going on right now lol)
And yes I realize that I listed a bunch of international ROMs, I accidentally posted this thread over there not knowing there was an AT&T One X forum so I just copy and pasted without looking in the development section over here. Thanks for the feedback though guys.

CleanROM is based off one of the most recent ICS and Sense 4.1 bases. There are no Sense Jelly Bean roms just yet, except only very alpha port from the international phone.
If you want JB, you need CM10.

Stick to ROMs in the AT&T One X specific section of the forum, and you'll be safe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Don't flash any ROMs from the forum that is labelled simply "HTC One X" as that versions has completely different hardware internally, and any ROMs from their will either not work, and/or will brick your phone.
There is no best ROM. Everyone has different preferences and expectations. To recommend one over another is an insult to our devs that work so hard to give us free software, as saying one is not 'the best' is implying it somehow inferior, when it is not.
I know about the International One X, like I said earlier that was my fault for looking through the wrong forum. As far as asking for the best ROM I was asking what's the best one for my needs that I listed. I'm not trying to make somebody's work seem like it's "less" than someone else's but obviously one ROM is gonna fit me better than another. And if I tell everybody what I'm looking for and ask for help on which would suit my needs then that shouldn't be misconstrued as insulting other developers.

All due respect, those are the same rationalizations that are often given when someone starts a "best ROM" thread.
You're parameters aren't anything special. Its not like people are walking around requesting ROMs that get bad battery, or are hard to use.
Its not that hard to look through the features of the ROMs, see which ones fit your need, and try out a couple.
"Best ROM" threads are simply not allowed here (whatever you think your rationale may be), and mods will close this thread soon.
You'd be surprised how impossible it is to actually try out a ROM before you get the phone. And I wasn't trying to flame a best ROM thread, if you just read through the posts you'd realize I was looking for a stock ROM that wouldn't be overwhelming for someone completely unfamiliar with this sort of stuff. I said options and tweaks weren't important and stability definitely was. Sounds a little less generic than you're making it out to be.
Could I have looked through the development section myself? Absolutely. Was it lazy and more convenient for me to do this? Of course it was. Is it undermining the entire concept of a Q&A section when you say which questions can and can't be asked? A little. Especially when the whole point of this was that I don't have the phone myself so I HAVE to ask people what their opinions are.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Obviously, regardless of whether you start a thread asking about ROMs, or research them yourself, its all purely academic until you actually get the device and start flashing ROMs. If you want to do some preparation before you receive your phone, your time is probably better spent reading about how to unlock the bootloader and root the phone, as the steps are not completely obvious or straightforward.
I'm not trying to beat on you, seriously. But if every person new to this phone made a thread asking what ROM is best "for him" arguing that their needs were somehow unique and special (and therefore deserved their own thread), the Q&A forum would quickly be rendered useless by a flood of hundreds of such threads.

Whether we like it or not, that's the decision that the forum operators made, and the mods have asked us to abide by.

These are the same kind of questions as the "Whats your favorite case?" or... "Whos your favorite carrier?"... those don't get closed so I don't see why these have to be closed? Some people don't have time to flash multiple ROM's, and to be honest you can't really decide if it's right for you in one day... These kind of threads help narrow down the right ROM for you, chances are if other people like it, you will too.... just look at how many people use CyanogenMod.
But anyways back on topic, I would suggest using Cyanogenmod. Overall it is the fastest ROM I have found. Most people like fast, so if that's your thing go with Cyanogenmod. They are currently working on 4.3 Android, they have a version out already but SMS/MSM isn't working so I suggest to wait it out until they fix the bugs.
Viper ROM is great for customizations, however it won't be as fast as Cyanogenmod, at least in my experience it won't..
That's all I've got, I've narrowed it down to 2 ROM's for you. However if you feel daring and want to try out some more ROM's I suggest you look at the post counts of the ROM's thread and usually if they have more people posting in it it usually means it's a better ROM and has an active developer fixing all the bugs and what not.
Thanks and enjoy!
Okay, let's do some thinking here.
Hypothetically, if ALMOST everyone were to suggest the same ROM, what benefit would that bring for the other devs working on the ROM they're providing? What would happen if we all said leave your phone stock? Would you? It works, it's reliable, there are no bugs, and no problems for you to complain about.
So let's all try to play along with that idea for just a bit.
Leave your phone stock. Unrooted. Why? No problems or bugs for anyone because it's stable. :good:

It's considered to be very disrespectful to devs to say one ROM is better than another. And really, no ROM is better than another ROM. ROMs suit different people for different reasons, therefore nobody can definitively say ROM a is better than ROM b. Just flash a few and find out for yourself, it's REALLY simple.

Those don't get closed because its completely different. Products like cases/phones and carrier services are paid for. So I can easily see why these are allowed. Voice your opinion on what you paid for, and furthermore, att doesn't care what we say here. They get their money, they aren't discouraged if I say I hate their service.
Roms are different. A developer doesn't sit down and say "let me earn a pay check by building a new ROM". In fact, they do it in spare time, after their real job/friends and family. To say someone's volunteer work is bad and that you don't like it, and that a certain ROM is better is preposterous. Saying things like "well A is good for X, but I like to do Y, so I chose B" is a perfectly logical statement. Everything regarding a ROM is opinion based. They are all rock solid and do different things. What you choose depends on what you need the ROM to do for you.
To say a ROM is the best (is what these threads turn into) is plain stupid. Everyone has their own opinion, and should share it within reason.
So these Devs that do this in their free time certainly don't want to hear why a ROM is better than theirs, especially since nobody has an obligation to do this for us.
That's why these threads get closed.
