That depends.. Are you after a SENSE 2.1 ROM? or a Froyo 2.2 ROM?
I'm currently running the Froyo FroydVillain 1.72 ROM, My favourite so far

Hello everyone i am new to this fourm and just rooted my phone and i just wanted to ask a quick question of what is currently the smoothest rom?
I am also interested in some information about this.. I'm currently running the newest Villain, and it's annoyingly slow, though I don't know if this is Villain specific or what.

Well i heard Modaco is smooth but i am going to try villian now. I really want something like evil hero which i saw in a video running on the magic.

Yeah the Modaco ROM's are generally considered to be one of the most stable and smoothest around,... It was the first ROM I tried on mine 2 weeks ago, haven't felt the need to change. Now just waiting on Modaco 4.0 which will be released when there is an official 2.1 release for him to work his magic on. Definitely give it a try. But I also recommend you try some others. Its pretty simple to swap and change ROM's once you have installed the custom recovery console, only extreme laziness has kept me from giving others a try.

FOR SPEED, STABLE-NESS AND BEAUTY USE SENSEHERO ROM
its base on MCR(ModaCoRom) 3.1 or 3.2 not so sure but it's base on ModaCo which is for speed and stable-ness
and for beauty he used manup's SenseHero Theme..
worth a try..
MrBangCR concept Rom 2.0 (i think)
Fast, smooth, great performance. He used modaco as a base but made some important changes for performance
This may sound silly, but a poorly programmed camera app that I really love (Retro Camera) can't produce high res images on my rooted Hero (running basic 2.1 for Hero), as evidently the OS is using so much memory not enough is left for the app to render the photo twice (like I said, it's pretty godawful code on their part).
But, I like the images it produces enough that I'm considering rolling back to 1.5 to see if that works (pretty sure it used to do high res for me before I rooted and upgraded).
I was hoping for some recommendations of fast, stable, low-ish memory use 1.5 ROMs. Or is there a way for me to just roll back to standard 1.5 without overwriting the rooting in case I decide speed and features are indeed more important than pretty pictures?
Just flash the 1.5 rom image using your custom recovery. Use the standard wipe options.
MoDaCo had a pretty well respected 1.5 rom. Look for a final of that if I were you. The others had so many tweaks you had no idea what you were getting, very hit and miss.
Have you tried Vanilla 2.1 builds? I would recommend trying them first as 1.5 had worse memory management IIRC.
Thank you. I'll try a Vanilla 2.1 ROM first, that sounds like a better solution if it works.
You tried a Froyo build? They're vanilla, but I dunno how much RAM is needed, so can't comment...
Haven't tried a Froyo ROM yet, but no luck with VanillaEclair or the latest 2.1version of Cyanogen that I could find. I've found several Sprint Hero users with unroofed phones running 2.1 and getting high res to work. I suppose it could be the hardware, pretty frustrating.
Try Modaco 3.2 along with the lightspeed kernel from here somewhere. I think I kept that setup for 2 - 3 months without feeling the need to flash anything else,....

Can't go wrong with Modaco 3.2.
Do you want Sense or Vanilla?

Definitely Vanilla. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it over Sense.

AFAIK (I only got my Hero in May so that's when I came to XDA since it was my first smartphone) but no Donut ROM was ever completed (I could be wrong, I am not sure) but there is a partially completed one.

Nice thanks always wondered where'd the 1.6 go same for 2.0 but dw you dont have to give me one of those to
Hey there I'm new to android coming from iOS. Ive been trying new roms but they havent been working that smoothly for me. Wondering if theres a rom that is very close to official 2.1 but rooted
currently running froydvillain 1.5, overclocked to 652mhz (for some reason I remember my unrooted 1.5 my hero came with to be more stable)
BTW what is RUU is there a terms thread for nubs?
RUU is a Rom Update Utility. Its an executable made by HTC to flash new roms for people who don't have root/a recovery image.
As far as stock roms go, it depends which "stock" you want. Froyd is a vanilla 2.2 rom. 2.2 hasn't officially been released for our hero, so its a little bit buggy. Cudos to the developers though, I use froyd as an every day rom, doesn't give me any gip.
Anyway, 2.1 was officially released for us by HTC, and I would heartily recommend vanillaeclair 4 for your vanilla 2.1 needs.
Sense is the HTC GUI for the hero and us "stock" as far as the hero is concerned. Chocolateeclair is made by the same Guy as vanillaeclair, but I dislike sense, so I can't really recommend any good sense roms.

Villain rom 12 if you want a no frills 100% 2.1 rom everything works.
If you want to use 2.2 i am using froydvillain 1.5 all working well but a bit heavy on the battery apart from that working lovely here.
use rcmix, it's the best 2.1 rom imo.

another +1 for VillainROM !
Whats the best rom for my LG Optimus One (P500h) ?
2.2.2 stock room with root. Since the beginning I always was using custom roms, but this is my personal opinion in the past few months I prefer the stock room with root, which I can make any tweak I want, and doesn't have battery drain and bugs that some custom rooms have.
And cause many of the custom rooms are based in 2.2, and 2.2.1+ had some updates that repaired VPN that I use a lot. I couldn't be more happy with it, cause it gives me a lot of experience messing with android too.
There is no best ROM. You choose what suites you. Now, if I were to tell you that the best ROM for me is Light, would you choose it too? It doesn't come with Darktremor, so no one else except non-Darktremor users use it.
Point is, look at what the ROMs bring. Choose according to what you need or what you don't need.
However, if you want something widely used by the people here, use void/devoid or LOL or Megatron or Prime or the other ROMs with popular threads on the Dev subforum
I use the stock Rom rooted with a overclocking kernal
Very fast.
Andy's 2.3.2 Gingerbread
LOL v1.2 with fixed Kernel

I downloaded the official rom from lg website to my country and decompress it, and with this kitchen added root, and left the rest untouched.
pedroh: how can we tell version is the original ROM on LG website? Can you also share the instruction on how to install the kitchen? I am using v10c (2.2) firmware.
I do not have the links anymore, but I know how to do it, but google it is similar procedure as making your own rom.
if u stay on 2.2 use Void echo, if 2.2.2 is ur choice the u can flash Nessy.. its a good ROM . however i am using 2.3.3 andy gingerbread... though its in developing stage but i am quite happy with some bugs in it...
I'm using Optimus X rom, it has the best performance for the limited CPU frequency on the LG p500, but with a good kernel you can eeek out a extra 170MHz - 206 MHz out of the processor.
I'm running the rooted stock Froyo 2.2 and Mik's mutlitouch kernal overclocked.
I'm using my Nessy ROM!

Ok I just rooted my HTC Legend and I'm looking for a good ROM to use. I want a fast one that I can install apps to the SD card with if I want to. I also want to be able to install any app I want that requires root privs like Shark for root. What one do you use?
Any suggestions are much appreciated thanks!
With Sense I recommend BlaYo B 0.8.4
Without Sense I recommend CyanogenMod, with DarkTremor (For true A2SD).
But that's just me, there are many roms out there that might suit you better. It's just a choice of personal preference really.
If u want a smooth and stable ROM with sense, use blay0's .. If u want a gingerbread rom, use ogo2's rc1 .. If u dont like sense cyanogenmod7

If. You're up to wireless tether. Than ogos rom is not for you.
I suggest you with blay0s b.08 rom. For starters... you do pay htc with sense features. Unless you dont want it. Cm7.

I mean the sense framework. I've flash rom many times already. And I really find sense people (contacts) is a very good contact manager. It does merging your contact by making links at the note part of the contact and does not
Delete contacts to merge. There are some other contact manager in the market. But this is still better in many ways.

Hi. I`m kind of new here.
I want to ask you to recommend me some roms that are based on Android 2.3 which will work on legend flawlessly or, if not possible, something else to replace my boring vodafone branded 2.2.
From what I`ve read on other threads, there are problems with radio/wifi/gps in some of them and i don`t know what to choose, because i want it to be 100% useable and a plus from my current rom in all areas.
If you could help, please do !

it you want to try something new, i would say use cyanogenmod 7.0.3. That is a stable version and everything works
If you want some extra looks then standard cm 7.0.3 you can use this version i cooked (witch support transparent statusbar)
I use blay0s b.08 rom because it's nice and stable but i sometimes switch to cyanogenmod 7.0.3 or nightly's
i find the radio or whatever controls the reception and connectivity of the phone with cyanogenmod is pretty bad with my phone. takes ages to connect to 3g, wifi reception is poor and a lot of the time people cant even call me lol. blay0s rom is perfect except wifi doesnt work at all, and the newsense rom is even more perfect and i just love it in every way, except the wifi doesnt work with 802.1x enterprise which is what my uni network uses so its kinda annoying. but i still use it, gingerbread with sense is so damn good omg <3
Thanks for your answer. I installed both cm7.0.3 an blayo 0.8.4, but i will stick with the last one. It`s kind of amusing, after flashing cm7.0.3 i have ~168 MB internal storage left, and with blayo i have 110 MB. (no sd partitioning, i try to keep it as simple as i can).
So, i used titanium backup to force remove some system apps i don`t need in blayo, then through clockwork recovery i wiped data/cache/dalvik and rebooted, so now i have 131 mb left on blayo.
1. Is this the right way to do it or i colud somehow gain more internal storage space?
2. Is moving apps2sd with titanium backup efficient, or shoud i use something else?
How is ogo2 2.3.3 + sense 2.1 ROM?
Sorry for silly question but I am new to this forum and am going to root my Legend now. I just read about this rom (2.3.3 + sense 2.1) RC3, but there are few things mentioned that are not working like wifi and fm.
Is RC3 the latest build?
I want to install a ROM that is faster and less buggy.
Do you suggest ogo2's ROM or CM7?
