Well I just signed up for xda and will be passing this phone on to my son because and don't want to return the phone to factory defaults. And I currently run cm11 , but I want my son to experience sense from HTC so if he decides to like it I know what I can get him next. can anyone point me to a smooth and lagfree sense rom?

Asking which ROM is best/most stable/fastest/prettiest question isn't allowed so I can't answer that, here's why. To say one ROM is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these awesome ROMs free of charge. Each user has different tastes anyway, the best way to see which ROM suits you is to flash a few and find out for yourself.

If you have flashed custom ROMs in the past, you should no better than to ask this question. And you should know enough to just pick a ROM for yourself.
Can't really state it any more clearly than the two gents above.

I just got this phone today and was wanting to put a custom rom on it, only question is...what do I want to put on it. I'd love to put JB on it but have seen where its not too stable and I'd like a fully functional rom to start with although I'm not afraid to do some trial and error runs with different roms. But anyways I'm wondering what everyone has to recommend and why.
Thanks!

CM10 is stable. ICS and 4.1.2 are what you should be flashing.
Be prepared to be flamed by people that think they're better than you btw

I think there should be one best of thread, maybe stickied, where people can compare and discuss roms. But yeah the mods do not like best of threads because some people are too sensitive and take things personally.
OP first I suggest read and read and read....since you just received your device, I can not stress the importance of doing your homework, and you will just have to test the ROMs yourself, with so many variables involved with different users, only you can make the call what is best for you and what meets your needs...
Thank You.
I've had a couple ROMS on my phone but I'm possibly looking to switch again. Ive been on Axism for a while now. I like it but have had some gps issues.
Is there a good daily driver out there right now? Opinions?

honestly it depends what you like. For TW I cant tell you. I've used hyperdrive which i find pretty stable and a great daily driver. I don't use TW much. CM, I like Rootbox and Paranoidandroid, great features pretty solid too.
There is no best rom.. Just find something that works good for you.

These types of threads get closed down. There isn't any best rom there never had been and never will be. Lastly I don't think the Q and A section was meant for people who can't make up their minds about what rom to choose. I know I sound like a douche but this isn't a support site per se.
I'm not looking for support. I'm looking for opinions based upon experience.
If I was asking for a guide or instructions (which many people do), that would be support.

So many elitist forum police on XDA. It's ridiculous one can't even ask for opinions in the Q and A forum without someone scolding them.

Liquidsmooth v2.9 (AOSP ROM) is what I will highly recommend.
Flash BMS 3.4 kernel for even better battery life and you're set.

Andy's bonestock ROM! Extremely stable with very nice mod and theme selection. Give it a shot.

I completely agree, it's impossible to tell you what's a good daily driver. They are all good in their own way, and this same question gets asked almost every single day.
This isn't even scolding, you can ask away but when you can get the same answer a couple pages back it gets extremely tiresome seeing the same threads pop up.
For anyone reading this thread who wants advice on a good daily driver, look at all the threads, find the features you like, try it out on your phone and see if it plays nice on your hardware.
Additionally, here's a thread already made that has everyone's experiences on their rom of choice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030478

I'm a big fan of MOAR rom. I've tried CM, Bonestock, PA, and Liquid Smooth. MOAR has all the features I look for, leaves out crap I don't use (not a fan of PIE and Halo), is stable and has good battery life. The themes are really nice too- love Soylent Green.

well its pretty annoying to give the same answers to people who are unwilling to put in minimal amounts of work to find the answer or who expect be spoonfed some opinions on roms.
these threads get closed literally every single week.
there are no best roms out there. thats an opinion and very subjective. everyones phone runs different, everyone uses different apps and features in their roms.
if you dont like the correct asnwers to your questions then dont ask questions that dont really have answers.
nobody was rude to you, they gave you the best possible advice. read, test, try, decide what you need/want. ive run more than 15 different roms and theyve all been DD worthy.
No such thing as a Best ROM
Hi
I am looking for recommendations for stable roms. Right now I'm running the ViperXL which is pretty stable I don't see much problems except some hiccups but it's overall a good rom. I wanted to see some opinions on other roms and if they are stable. I want to try a new rom

Asking which ROM is best/most stable isn't allowed here. To say one is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way, this isn't fair to the devs who put in a lot of work in their spare time to give us these ROMs free of charge. It's really up to you to do your research, check out a few ROMs, do some reading in the threads and you'll soon find out what bugs may or may not be present.

Its not like we have an overwhelming Nexus sized lot to choose from here. Test driving the great ROMs we are privileged to have is half the fun IMO. Ahhhh the day I achieved s-off.....
If you don't have time to get behind every wheel then just follow tim's course of action. Research. After thoroughly reading the OP of a ROM you are interested in, browse the last couple pages of the thread to bring yourself up to speed.
Active members here are quick to report bugs and issues.

Yeah I agree, flashing different ROMs is half the fun. You're definitely gonna end up flashing something you don't like but another ROM is only ever another flash away. We do have some great active members here, reading the last five or ten pages of any thread usually gives a great snapshot of how the ROM is performing.

Agree with the above responses. Also, stability is largely a function of how you have your particular device setup, and how you as an individual use it. Your mileage can (and will) vary compared to others. So asking others for a "stable ROM" is not going to tell you much.
Asking for a ROM suggestion is also just lazy. Its easy to look though the ROMs and see what issues people have (or aren't) having. Pick a couple that look like they fit your needs and preferences, and flash away.
Companions and xdevelopers friends, I know you know more than me about this terminal, which is why I do through this post I do a consultation on recommendations for custom roms to run well in HOX ATT beforehand grateful to each of those who share their views, greetings.
Asking this question isn't allowed so nobody can answer it. Here's why. To say one ROM is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these awesome ROMs free of charge. Each user has different tastes anyway, the best way to see which ROM suits you is to flash a few and find out for yourself.

Yep. Thread closed.
This is my first nexus 5 coming from a g2 .. I see tons of Roms to choose from but for the sake of taking days to try them all and read thru every changelog ...who has a suggestion for the most stable and customizable ROM by popular demand so far .. ?Theee go to ROM that most are stickn with..
Something as good as or custom as deviant development does with there twiz Roms over on the Samsung side
Best ROM threads are against the rules, as stated in the sticky at the top of this section. Everyone has different needs, and while one ROM may satisfy someone else's, it may not serve your purposes.
Try a few out and see which one works best for you. If you're looking for the most popular ones just take a look at the dev threads with many views/comments. Also lots can be learnt by reading the op of ROM threads to see what features they have to offer.

Highly recommend all of them by our great XDA Developers! Happy Flashing!!
If your looking for the most popular ROM you can check the post counts. By no means does that mean it's the "Best".
