Since I've just started using ROMS. I was wondering, is there a list or thread of the top 10 most used/best ROMS? Thanks in advance guys!
Not sure of Top 10, All I can say, every one gets a different score or opinion for each rom. Its matterof personal preference on what you like on each rom.
Not in any order or priority, list of roms that have consistent positive feedback and updates.
Team Whiskey
Eugene
Einherjar (Multiple Devs Merged into 1)
Try Nero v4.1 with overclock kernal. This has to be number one. Very fast and stable. 65 fps, 2000+ quadrant scores, no lag issues. Its a very good rom. I'm more than impressed.

For me I can tell you my top 3.
1. Axura 2.2.6.0 - Master
2. Nero 4.1 -Team Whiskey (good if you like overclocking)
3. Pepperkake 3.5.2 - Jelette
All 3 of these roms are fast and stable. I personally found Axura rom to work the best for my needs.

These 3 are all great, and The statement "I personally found the XXXX rom to work the best for my needs" is ultimately the bottom line...... personal choice
I use the Axura as of now, I get least amount of banding in my FFC with it and the best battery life.
Thanks for the info guys!

NERO
GingerClone
Axura
are probably the best, and most popular out currently, i use nero, but love both ginger clone and axura!
Which one gives you the best battery life?
Battery wise, axura gave me the best with no reconditioning.
Nero with reconditioning gives about an hour or less than axura, but battery life is all dependent on how u use your phone
For me, I use axura cos my gps works with it, with nero my gps doesn't.
But have to say battery life with nero is very good.
Would love to try pepperkake /eighnjar ROMs too..

I tried nero, axura, and ginger clone. I personally like ginger clone. I've never said, "i don't like...." I try the new versions of all the roms. I find myself going back to eugene ginger clone. :/

I flashed the latest version of Axura last night and I am blown away. This is my first custom ROM (coming from stock Eclair JI6) and I am loving it. It's hard to believe this was developed by enthusiasts and is available for free. (I will donate of course!)
I am sure the other ROMs are great, too. I'll be trying them soon
I would like to know which of the roms is the most stable.

me too. i'm sick of waiting for 2.2 since it looks as if samsung doesn't care about their customers so i'm looking for the most stable rom from 2.2.
guess i'll try the auxura(sp?) and see how that goes.
i assume you don't lose any apps or anything when changing the roms?
I get the best performance and battery life with Nero V4.1
Everything works flawlessly.

You LOSE all your apps and contacts unless you back them up first! Follow the Noob guide posted in this forum to back up your apps using Titanium backup.
Edit: The Axura update doesn't delete your videos and pictures that you took with the camera. I had backed those up but they were there when the new ROM loaded up
It doesn't wipe your internal or external SD card, but it does wipe all your apps. Everything on SD cards will stay exactly like they were preflash (barring certain circumstances, but I won't get into those right now. These issues are not present with any of the current roms (using stock kernels)
hey as the title says searching for a stable froyo rom for a friend he doesnt like cm7 or anything gingerbread and theres so many to choose from i dont know where to start please and thank you
There really is no Froyo rom here that isn't stable. It will all come down to personal preference. I like ZenDroid. It's smooth and has all of the non essental bloat removed. Bi-Winning v3 is also good. I tend to go between those two. Pair either of those with the Bali 1.8.8UV kernel or DragonMODz kernel, and you've got yourself a slick rom with very good battery. But there are lots of choices so it's really up to you.
Hope this helps
I have flashed every single flashable froyo and cm7/cm7 based roms that I could find on xda and I must say while I liked zendroid and have alot of repect for the developer but overall my favorite recent froyo rom is toxic crazy 8. I used the theme clean and shiny for music and toxic 8 and it is visually beatiful with themed in call screens and everything all included. Its also a super fast rom. I never disable voodoo (some will disagree with me on that) and its super quick to flas any rom within cwm so id try both and decide but make sure to get clean and shiny if you do toxic 8 its great. Ill also throw in that this is yhe first tozic I have used as a daily and even having a daily is rare for me but the dev is always helping people and he is very helpful and never rude, its really cool.

I like Project-V. I don't think I'll switch for a while. Bionix 1.3.1 is good, but the add widgets menu is too cluttered for me. With ZenDroid, I get a bunch of annoying bugs and force closes even after a fresh install from JFD. Bi-Winning wasn't my thing, only tried for a few hours. Same with Bionix NextGen.
Bionix 1.3.1 is the epitome of stable Roms. Your friend should have no problems from it.

Bionix 1.3.1
SEARCH NO MORE
Chalk another one up for Bionix! Used to run it and I don't think I had a single problem with it.
I have to agree with Toxic8. Been using it for a few days now after moving from Toxic7. Fantastic battery life, smooth as silk, and rock solid stable.
Whichever was explodingboy70's last updated Froyo rom. Everything worked flawlessly and it looked awesome, not to mention I was getting absurdly long battery life.
Just went back to Bionix 1.3.1 after trying many other roms, its a masterpiece

Hi all,
My cousins atrix has started playing up (keyboard crashes, browser force closes etc) and ive advised that he change roms. Ive been looking though this forum for the past hour or so and am surprised to see so many roms - you guys have so much choice! (Ive got an optimus black and weve got maybe about 4 roms which is nothing compared to you guys!)
Anyway my cousin is a bit of a noob so I dont want to install a rom that will cause problems. Which rom should I install on his atrix please?
Thanks
The most recent releases of CM7, including CM7.2 RC1 and the most current nightly releases, have been pretty stable for me. I couldn't tell you about the non-CM7 ROMs (i.e. the ones based on the stock Atrix ROM) as I haven't used one for quite a while. There are several so-called CM9 ROMs out (based on ICS), but IMHO they aren't stable enough if you rely heavily on your phone, though they are getting there.

Im using joker's cm9. Its actually stable enough to be used as a daily driver. Yes the rom is in beta so there are bugs like video recording/playback, multitouch and small probs here and there due to missing ics drivers.

I agree - If your cousin doesn't need the fingerprint reader or webtop go with CM7 for now till the devs get the issues worked out on CM9.
Another vote for CM7. Its absolutely rock solid, and the weekly builds have fingerprint scanner support. CM9 is pretty good, but as has been mentioned its missing a few features and does have a few bugs that prevent some from being able to use it as a daily driver.
CM7 RC1 is where it's at now, no issues whatsoever for me.
Anyone know what is the progress of webtop on CM7 or 9?
Instead of CM7, I'd reccomend Neutrino. Install GO Launcher EX, ICS theme for the launcher and system and you've got yourself the best GB ROM with ICS-look.

Useless things such as TTS, VPN and Languages have been removed to make the ROM smaller. You just gotta flash a few more tiny .zip's...
Neutrino is better than CM7 at the base level. I reccomend you flash Neutrino GT+ version and under/overclock the CPU according to your needs.

+1 ╰☆╮Neutrino ROM V2.6╰☆╮ ....it is the best for battery and performance in my view....if you need the blur (webtop)... all three of Nottach roms are great although he supports only NottachTrix4G....
+1 for CM7.
I'd recommend you CM7 with faux kernel.

For a first time custom rom flash I'd go with Nottachtrix, very stable and Aroma Installer makes it very easy to customize to your liking.

I flash ROMs like crazy and I have to say Neutrino is by far the greatest rom! So what if you have to flash a few zips....thats how he made such an amazing rom...He stripped it down to the basics and you add the stuff that you want. I use the GT version but underclock to 1.00GHz most of the time...Saves battery but if I need the power, its available to me. 2.7 is out now....it has a wifi bug on the GT and GT+ versions though. You have to reflash faux's kernal to fix. Otherwise just use EE version. Its plenty fast enough without overclock.
Well, I know everybody has a different opinion about "best". But my DX2 is getting slower everyday. It is running the stock 2.3.4 rom currently. I have had to pull the battery out multiple times in the past month just to get out of the frozen mode. That's no fun!
So, here I am looking for a new rom, wifi is vital to me since I use it all the time, well, pageplus does not give much choice. Camera/camcorder are also extremely important (so miui is out?). Other than that, the rom should be as stable as possible, as snappy as possible. With the stock rom, open each app is a painful waiting of 2-3 seconds.
Alright, folks, please recommend! TIA

Liberty was my first rom and it was smooth and stable, but really plain. Now I use CM7 and love it. Smooth, stable, and looks nice! I just installed the Ice Cream Sandwich theme and I don't see myself changing anything for a while!
I'm gonna say a tie between eclipse and cm7. I switch between the two often and they are both great and about equal in performance.

i've seen a few people say this. it must be an app issue. i only got the DX2 a few weeks ago, used stock for less than 35 minutes, then i flashed RC0 and RC1 CM7. I've had 1 FC related to Google Play Music, but other than that it has been smooth and fast. The lag when I sbf'd was pronounced, but i've had zero issues with CM7. are people restoring app data through TB or something? it just doesn't make sense that people could install the same rom the same way, then some say "fast; awesome" and others say "unstable; buggy."

Weird how some people have problems with CM7 and some have none. I've been running it over 4 weeks with zero issues. No FCs or anything. I used Pete's method of rooting and of course you have to load a special modified CM7 X2 Bootstrap after installing CM7. I'm just curious as to what could be the cause of some people having issues.

I agree. I'm using MIUI V 2.4.27 which is based on Jokersax 0.5 CM9 build.
It is amazing. It turned my unbelievably unbearable Telstra Atrix on 2.3.4 to a device that is smoother than any other android I've used...
I'm running mine with the Atrix-CM9-Kernel-025b-ext4-1.45GHz and its stable at 1.45GHz all day every day with excellent battery life.
It's funny I get 2x the battery life on the MIUI Rooted ROM with custom kernel than I did on the Telstra 2.3.4 stock ROM.
