I'm looking to get away from Sense. What is your favorite AOSP/AOKP Rom.
I'm looking for something that's the most stable, good battery life, and
ongoing support. If you can lead me in the right direction I'd love you.
"Best ROM" threads are distasteful, and frowned upon here.
Everyone uses their phone differently, and has different tastes. What works for others, might not for you. Just pick a couple that look like they meet your needs and try them. Its pretty easy to figure out who likes what by reading various existing threads.

How about here or here? <3
That's the only way to find which ROM is "best" mate, gotta get down and dirty and see what YOU think is the best.
Because these threads don't really help much we just closing them, as in this one.
Thanks for understanding

Which, in general, is the best ROM out at the moment? i.e. Most stable, best applications, most useful tweaks etc?
Lookin for a consensus to decide which ROM for me to go with.

Noone is going to be able to answer that question for you. It is a personal opinion and works for one may not work for the other. The only advice that can be given to you is to read the first few posts to see if it appeals to you. Then look to see what kind of issues that users are reporting and see if they will pertain to you. Once this is done, and you still are interested in the rom, then flash it. If you dont like it, flash another one. This is the best advice that can be given.
Closing the thread before the flaming starts.
I just got CM7 mod on my phone and I'm loving it. However I'm curious to know an easy way to find other mods out there for the Inspire. I've seen mentions on this forum of others but it's hard to sort through what's what so I'm looking more for a definite listing of what's out there for other mods. Thx.

What do you mean "mod"? As in like a theme? or like APM and transparency mods? Since this is a development site, it is expected that you do some research on your own. There are plenty of CM threads out there that can point you in the right direction, don't be lazy, reading is fundamental!
I meant to say ROMs not mods. Is there a list of available ROMs for Inspire?

Again, I must stress to you that reading is fundamental, I get it that you're new to the site (my observation based upon your post count) and welcome! I hope this starts off what should be a mission to educate yourself. Again, this is a dev site where everyone assumes and expects you did the proper research before asking a question. The so called rom list you speak of, exists in the Dev section in one of the stickies. I don't think it's as up to date as it should be but that isn't a dig at the mods. The real list lies in the collection of threads in the dev section. Start reading.
edit: please don't ask here or in a new thread "what is the best rom" or "what's the difference between x and y" these questions will result in numerous members yelling the same thing at you..."ONLY YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IS BEST, TRY THEM OUT"

I would be proud if I new all the thumbs up I have weren't from posting links.
PS: this is a dev forum, the least you can do is search. Can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.
CM7 is an entire ROM...but the people think is just a mod over stock...
Hi, I'm planning on rooting this weekend when I have the time. I also plan to flash a custom rom. So, does anybody have any suggestions for a sense jelly bean rom? I've been eyeing viperxl, so any feedback on viper would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks.

Best rom threads are frowned upon. Try out the ones that you think will be best for you. Also, questions should go in Q&A. Glad to have new people, hope everything goes well for you.
I'm just going to save myself a bunch of typing and quote redpoint

Q's go in the "Q&A" subforum.
And "Best ROM" threads are frowned upon here. There is no good answer to this question, as everyone has different preferences and needs. Further, suggesting one ROM over another, is an insult to the devs, as it suggests that the other ROMs are somehow inferior (when its largely a matter of personal taste). These discussions often devolve into a popularity contest. And just because a ROM is popular, does not mean it will be the best for you.
Just look through the ROMs, pick a few to flash (with the features you want), and see what you like best.
The ROM threads usually indicate very clearly what works, and what doesn't. If not in the top post, just reading through the last few pages of the more recent responses to that thread will often answer your questions.

Moderating from my One Xl
Hey guys,
Returned to xda after a long long time, had even forgotten my previous username/password so made a new id!
Quick question, which is the best current rom for desire s? By best I mean the one which is stable, the most lag-free and hang-free, and if possible, has a good battery life.
I've been on sabsa prime for a long long time now and it had a very crappy battery life and it hangs like a massive saturday morning hangover.
How is the [ROM][16 July][4.0.4][Sense 4.1 Full][OTA|HUB|Tweaks|v1.1.0 ModPack] SVHD v1.7.3 rom? I've done a quick browse through the dev forum and it seems to be the better one.
Any quick help would be much appreciate. I'll flash after the first 5 or so recommendations asap
These type of 'best' rom posts are not permitted on xda as you will get 10 different answers from 10 different people and can cause arguments. Please do not make these threads on xda.

I understand but how else am I supposed to figure out which rom I should use. I mean I can't go around installing every single rom and keeping it for a number of days to test them. that would take too much time.
one of the purposes of the fourm is to help people, right?
Can I request the mods to lock this thread, after exactly 10 replies? That would serve both purposes. Thanks

Actually, the sole purpose of XDA is Development. It is not a helpdesk for noobs - if you disagree with that view then that shows you haven't done much searching and reading yet.
Pick 3 or 4 of the ROMs which look best to you, install each one, test it and then move on to the next - that is exactly what we all do with our devices. The only person who can judge a ROM is you - some ROMs might work well for one person so they recommend, but you hate it or it kills one of your applications. Benchmarks are useless and serve no real-world purpose.
Just download, flash, try and see what suits you.

I understand what you're saying. I'd like to add that I'm in fact not a noob and have tried about 7-8 different roms on my desire s in a period of 3 or 4 months, towards the end of last year. I have a job now and no time for these things so I was just looking for a quick fix. Just some decent reviews from people who use the roms on these forums.
Please STOP posting here, you're ruining this thread and you're doing exactly what the first reply warned about.
If anyone wants to say a sentence or two about a specific rom, please post, otherwise don't.
IF the mods have a problem, then lock it. I strongly request you to leave it open for 10-12 replies and then lock it but it's up to you.
Good day.

You ARE a noob or you wouldn't have created this thread contrary to the rules of XDA. Most of us on here have jobs, but we still fit in our addiction to flashing and to helping other users around real life as best we can.

You can "strongly request" all you like, but I don't think it's going to get you very far. Reporting this thread now

Hi,
Nothing is the Best or Perfect but in your experience which is the most recommended Custom ROM for OPO.......most stable, reliable etc.
Hoping to hear from you as always,
Thanks.
Thats too much of a generic question, thats like asking what is the best car? Look around and browse what catches your attention.
They're free. Go try.

So True.
Best rom threads are not allowed here. Please take the time to search the Development forums. Check the OPs of the threads you see there and decide for yourself which rom suits you. What is the best rom is a purely subjective matter and no one can really give you that information. Here on xda-developers.com, we want to discourage needless competition. Please help us do that by not creating anymore threads like this.
