Custom ROMs? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Which ROM? So many to choose from.....

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.

@ zelendel

Why joo close my thread?
Seriously though, I think there is a different between saying 'whats the best rom' and 'whats your favorite rom'
Whats the best rom can't be answered because that comes down to personal choice, however whats your favorite rom is asking what roms people have liked and if anything encourages people to flash more roms and try them all thus get more donations out to the makers of these roms that people might not have tried without reading about someone elses experience with that rom.
Anyways I just think there should be like one thread where people can talk about the roms they like. Not saying any roms are better than any other ones, just talking about roms!
What do you guys think?
*pls dont flame me*
I agree. My personal favorite is Andromeda simply because all the other ones suck ass. I'm not saying it's the best, just that based on my criterion of not sucking ass Andromeda is my favorite.
I'm just kidding about other ROMs sucking ass. Quite a few don't.

Because what you stated is bound to happen lol.
Sad but true, but someone is going to say "well this made my gps outstanding!!" and some other jackass will say "well that bricked my phone"..... Blah blah blah, someone is bound to flame and turn the thread into a pissing match.
Should have sent this in a PM instead of questioniing how a mod operates in the forum. If you simply spend some time reading, like I said in your previous thread, you can get a pretty good idea what ROMs are the most used (and therefore, favorite) of many of the users in here. Scanning the sigs of members who have more than 30 posts and have been here awhile also provides some insight. The question is the same, best...favorite, it all comes down to what YOU want out of a ROM and how YOU plan to use it. My favorite might not be yours, so what value does telling you I love Andromeda 1.2 really have? None, until you try it for yourself.
Oh, and if you need more clarification, try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919816
Since you obviously can't see the Stickies.
Thats a good point, yeah I just wanted to get other people on the forums opinions though. I dunno I just think that these threads are being made everyday for a reason, people wanna talk about the roms they like and hear about the roms other people like. Yeah its still down to preference but whats wrong with it? If people start flaming or talking **** about other roms then delete the thread, I really doubt people will do that though. Most people on this forum love flashing roms and want to try them all anyways. So why cant we talk about the ones we currently like!
Edit: And I'm not asking about this because I'm lazy and don't want to look at all the roms myself, I already have and I have flashed quite a few already. And there are lots of cool ones out there that aren't the most popular.
We should have a poll. But no posting allowed, just vote and carry on.
Like they do for the device of the year awards.

Please do not open threads randomly. Spend some time reading. Patience is the key. And like miami said, send PM. Don't open public threads like this. Be glad he didn't ban u.

3.....2.....1..... Sorry for slacking guys things have been crazy lol Internet went out last night.
The reason Best Rom Threads and Fav threads get closed so fast is that it all comes down to personal choice as each rom can and has run differently on each device.

So this does not tell you why he closed your thread?
I can't wait to see how long this thread takes to get locked. Individual ROM threads do enough for people to decide on what might or might not work well. Ultimately as you have already been told, you will need to just flash different ROM's because my favorite might not work on your phone.
They also get closed because it becomes a flame fest. And yes. Please just pm zel next time.

[Q] AOSP/AOSP question

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

[Q] The best current rom?

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.

I was trying to explain further, to your befuddled mind, why you had been told by @ifti786 that this thread was not a good idea.

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

[Q] about custom roms for ATT HOX.

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.
