I have used just about all the ROMs here in the 3D section, cleanROM, Steel ROM, WTSB, just to name a few.
With Virus' eternity ROM being the latest as of last night, I have found one I am permanently going to stick to. Not knocking any other's work, as I know you all help each other out quite a bit in developing these.
All that being said, and the point of this thread, I just wanted to publicly thank you all for the awesome experience you have provided since I rooted my phone and also wanted to tell you all that I am going to go through every thread with a ROM I used and I am going to buy each of you a few drinks.
Really appreciate the hard work. Thanks again

Yeah virus has a great rom, I used it for a few days. I just got MIUI to work on my 3D recently and that rom is great, i think its a toss up between the 2.
I have tried just about every rom in the forums and a lot of them are great solid daily drivers. Remember to donate to your favorite, or send them a PM to show your appreciation. Acknowledgement of a job well done by fans of these roms, kernels, mods, themes, ect... really does a long way with the devs.

lmao.. you douche. how did i know you were going to show up? lol
i hope it's not a backhanded compliment, i have said over and over again that there are TONS of superb ROMs here, and also that I myself could never decide between them all, I don't know how many times I have been back and forth between several of them. It's an addiction, and eternity just has it all for me, the theme, the speed, all thrown into one.
If it came across as "his is better than yours" then I apologize. But that's not what was intended. It just does it for me in every way. As I said, looks, performance (both of which can be found in any other ROM I have tried) but this one has both for me. And to be perfectly honest, it's more the layout and look of it that I am diggin' man
EDIT*** and for the record, i am also trying to contribute to dev's that not only compiled the ROMs, but also had a hand in developing some aspect of it. I'm not trying to single anybody out here or play favorites by saying one is more superior than the other, just saying it's what works for me in every way. I hope my OP didn't come off that way, and again if it did, I apologize. Sometimes my fingers just kind of fly across the keyboard as thoughts come and in my head it makes perfect sense, but isn't quite conveyed the way it should be. So again, I apologize if that's the case.
What I have found is no matter how great the ROM is you will always have the urge to flash something new. Thats why we always say is addictive.
edit:
Also I did not read it as his is better than yours.
Cobra, I must say, that you are absolutely masterful in your execution.
You're like Michael Jordan, bro.
(I absolutely respect the talent, but I will stick with my previous statement.)
"sometimes my hands just fly across the keyboard" = a buzzerbeater in the last seconds of a game 7,lol.

HA! so true, I can never resist myself.
Hi, my name is arqbrulo and I'm a flashaholic!
Like the title says, I am also an addicted flashaholic. The cure for me, so far, has been Boot Manager. I've been switching back and fourth between CM7, freEVO, MIUI, Myn's and Virus. Although, it's been a while since I went back to freEVO and Virus (been mainly with Myn's and MIUI). I'll have to try Virus again.
And, like Cobraboy said, thanks to all the devs for your hard work. All of you.
I'm quite the opposite. I hate flashing, setting up my phone how I like it, and reinstalling apps (titanium is great, but I prefer manual methods).
I like to stick with ONE ROM, and contiuously update it with what becomes available. Saves on the constant writing to my flash memory which will in turn guarantee me no bad blocks in the future, and also helps keep my phone running with hardly any downtime.
Unless it's AOSP and completely redone like CM7/MIUI (which boot manager is good for), what is the purpose in flashing between Sense ROMs at this point? They all are almost identical and what one lacks, you can easily get on another almost as easy as overwriting files. I will never understand the need to flash different looking, but same ROMs over and over agian. It's like having a battle between which color of the same car you want to drive. Maybe one even has a spoiler on the back, but it can easily be put on the other car.

good one. he does but only on his site and you have to donate. In my opinion its really worth it but I don't have a credit card yet. However even 1 pound will let you download and he updates often.
hmmmm....so he went commercial with it?
I have to say when i flashed the ROM i have now it was kind of head and shoulders above other roms i had flashed at that same time...i mean all others kept crapping out on me, but his hung strong. Not to say there weren't others out there that would work for me, but his did do nicely.
Sammy you think it's worth it cause his stuff really is considered to be that much more solid than some of the other chefs out there? I'm obviously not a flash freak, but when i do i like to find a good one and stick with it....I'd donate anyways - i think i kind of owe it to him for all the life i've gotten out of this past flash....
Closing thread.
A simple PM to him could have sufficed.
Well well well....we asked for S-off/root and we got it. Within hours the ROMs flooded the dev page.
I loved this phone from the minute I got it. ROMs are making it better. CM7 and MIUI are coming at which point I will probably run around my neighborhood in my skivvies screaming about it.
I have one gripe though. Why are there SOOOO many ROMs? I know everyone wants to get their hands dirty at doing dev work. It makes you the cool kid on the block, and there's a good chance that if you put one on XDA, CheesyNutz will flash it at least once.
I feel like the ROMs are too hard to choose from because most of them are similar, with some being almost exactly the same with minor differences.
This is what I propose. First of all, maybe someone with more ambition than me (read: anyone) could put together a comparison chart of all the ROMs based on the features they have. Using that data, maybe some of the devs that have similar direction/are trying to achieve the same thing can collaborate.
The way I see it, there will be less confusion on the development page, with better ROMs that have more options.
TL;DR - Devs need to collab. on ROMs to reduce clutter and improve ROMs
Oh God. You're not seriously *****ing about too many choices are you?
there is an insane amount of roms, lol most of them offer alot of the same things..but I say, the more roms...THE BETTER!!!!!
Variety is the spice of life...
So you complain about having to look through the ROMs that people develop for your phone (for free) you want a chart made with all the comparisons of those free ROMs but you want somebody else to do it for you? What's wrong with this picture?

right..i just came from the galaxy s 4g on tmobile, and there was literally like 2 roms over there..lol
that's usually what android development is for, to share one another their custom made rom, so no i dont think there are many roms yet, so bring it on!!!
You know what?. people like the OP disgust me. ya Commie..
I bet you think we should all just be happy with 1 ROM to use don'tcha Ruskie?!
Think it's totally ok for us all to just stand in line and wait for our daily allowance of bread, Comrade!?
HUH?!
THIS IS 'MURICA AND WE DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO YOUR TYPE 'ROUND THESE HERE PARTS!!
AAnnyways, I can see your point of view. There are several roms that seem the same right now. it's been barely a week since S-off and it's a very good sign that everyone is wanting to make ROM's, once everyone has their bases done we will see differences pop up, custom themes, ingenious tweaks, etc. Give it some time. The 3D scene is still young.
seriously????....
Im fixin to post my set up soon, so get ready for a phatman ROM. That's one more to the list. Probably the best one ever too.
B l a s p h e m y ! ! !
The more ROMS the Merryer
Theres too many moneys in my wallet gotta be a bad thing
Can't wait phatman it will be the slowest most bloated rom ever
If you don't have an Evo3d well... You ain't got ****e
get bent new guy
I can agree with the OP to an extent. For me, seeing the Dev forum say [ROM] after [ROM] after [ROM] is a bit overwhelming for me. But, it's just like any other free market. You're confronted with 40 brands of hot sauce, and damn, that's a lot, but you try one, see how it is, and choose based on that. The bonus of all of these ROMs is that A), they're available online, so you don't have to drive to the store, and B), they're free.
Just my 2 fiat cents.
First things first...don't yell at me for creating this thread
Relatively new to android (I was an old school winmo guy for a long time *dcd!*) and now I wanna root my E3D and flash some other roms on it.
So the question is, what kinda roms do you all suggest? I love sense so any suggestions?
If you don't want to be yelled at...why not post in Q&A? This is a question right...
Anyway, Android Revolution HD is my favorite sense ROM now. MIUI is awesome if you want something radical, but is buggy. CM7 is good too but a bit buggy.

I've been using Deck's (kushdeck) sense rom for eons now. I've tried a bunch of other Sense roms, many of which were awesome, but a lot had some issues because they were nightlies or whatever. With deck's, I get unbelievable battery life in comparison to any other rom. It's a pretty standard sense rom, doesn't have much extra themeing, but it's extremely solid. (my nandroid of that rom is named KushSuperStable, lol).

Yea, it is sad that he's gone ghost. I hope everything's alright with him in 'real life' and that all is well. Hopefully when he has some more free time he comes back over here. At least the way he left the rom is perfect, I have not one complaint about it and see no need to update it.

The most stable I have used thus far have been clean rom, steel rom, and virus' eternity roms (builds 1.1, 1.2.2, and 1.4)....
Either one of those will be solid and reliable. Virus 1.4.2 rom seems very solid as well but I haven't made the jump yet simply bec#use I want to put this one through the long haul test... been on this rom and the bc kernel v3 for over two weeks, over clocked at 1.62 ghz with not one issue.
I would give eternity 1.4 a shot

Yeah GhostFaceKillah.
I use CleanRom its stock with bloatware removed and some other enhancements.
SteelRom is my absolute favorite Sense based rom. But nothing will ever beat the awesomeness of CM7
Lot of good suggestions in here, but when it really comes down to it you need to read up and just try stuff.. Doesnt take much to nand and try a rom for yourself.
Another thing that matters is what YOU use on your phone..
For example, someone said that MIUI is radical which is very true but its awesome once you get used to it and that its buggy.. but that may not be true for everyone because for me its flawless for what I use it for.. I dont have 4g in my area so I could care less about that, I dont use any hotspot apps so that doesnt matter for me as some are having issues with that. 3D doesnt work but honestly I barely ever use it anyways..
Although I wouldnt recommend MIUI as your first rom to flash because it does take some getting used to.. and you also mentioned that you like sense.
Eternity is one of my favorites and I used it for a while, its sense but has some cool features that make it different then stock sense.
Again its hard to say which are best because there are so many talented Devs around that are making awesome roms.. so get used to nanding and dive in..
another vote for Eternity Rom.
Ive been with Eternity for several weeks now. I flashed MIUI temporarily and didnt like it, back to Eternity.
I am currently on 1.4.1 and Ziggy dual core kernal. Great benchmark scores @ 1.7
1.8 seems unstable on some of the benches like cf and antutu. But I typically just keep it at stock CPU speed anyhow, so Im not worried about it.
Some people seem to have more issues than others. Some the screen locks up on them while charging, others it wont go to sleep, some people the screen wont wake up during an incoming call.
Myself I havent had any issues really. My facebook app seems to force close quite a bit whenever I try to post on someones wall. I would like to see that fixed, but as far as I know, no one else really has that issue. So it may just be something glitchy on my phone.
But yes. Definitely try Eternity. You wont regret.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, will definitely try out some of your suggestions!
Aside from the poor choice of thread title, we know nothing about the device. I guess I could've missed it skimming through all 2 pages. What Hboot is on the device? Figuring out which method to use and how far you'll be able to go is a good start. You should be checking out the root threads before asking about ROMs. Just a thought, not intended to be rude in any way.
Miui is the best rom hands down for looks and feel. And it gets better every week!

I agree on Deck's ROM too, but because he has gone AWOL, I've switched over to CleanROM 2.7. It's just as reliable as Deck's ROM, battery life is almost as good, but you can OC and make it FLY while still retaining excellent battery life. And... it's more customizable than Deck's ROM.
I've run both Deck's ROM and CleanROM 2.7 long term and can recommend both. I'd give the edge to CleanROM though (there's a CleanROM Developer's Edition too).

hahaha- no! I'm not the great (almighty) dcd. Don't know where he is nowadays, I was simply referring to how I used to flash his things
My nephew has invested in a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I've finally convinced him to root it and flash a custom rom... I have a HTC G2 and there's like 6-8 roms to choose from... And everyone of them has a different thing going for them... Like one of them is Sense 2.1, one is clean MIUI and some are mods with MIUI, some CM7-mods and a couple of Sense 3.5's and one hybrid Sense 2.1+3.0...
What I'm trying to say is, its a jungle out there... And I'd really like to help my nephew get a good and updated phone..
So what are the different 'deal-breakers' on your different ROMs? Which is the best ROM in your opinion?
(wrong catagory.. should be in Q&A.. sry..)
My opinion is that we know nothing about your nephew, therefore can't possibly make recommendations for him.

He was once a big Ogamer... He goes to college.. Dunno what he studies, but something with computers... He hacked his ps3 earlier this years... He likes dubstep and mojitos... Anything else you need to know, to tell me your opinion about what ROM you think is best???
I recommend the stock ROM.
Cognition is a really fast stock-based ROM. For me, it feels very fast and works really well.

Ok, so you say everyone has a different opinion, that's why it's hard to choose. My question is, how will this thread change any of that?
The thing with this "what's the best... " always end up in people recommending their current ROM.
There is truly only one way to find out what's best for you (or your nephew for that matter).
The next thing you want to know is probably what the best modem is to use with the SGS2.
XDA is (or at least was) about exploring and share experiences.
Past few years it's more becoming a demand and receive kind of thing.
Threads like this ones are always getting locked in the end.

Dude - Ignore the wankers.
Wankers - wouldn't it be easier to just ignore the post if you have nothing constructive to offer the guy? Rather than... wanking on him?
Ezzzkiel - The nice thing in SGS2-land is that there are a lot of great, stable ROMs with decent battery life. It benefited from a lot of the startup pains that we all suffered through on the original SGS. So although it may seem like a jungle, the reality is that it is an ice cream (sic) shop with lots of great flavors.
If your nephew is technically competent and enjoys mucking around with lots of options, I would recommend one of the following:
CheckROM is a modified Samsung ROM and has a nice KitchenPro app that allows you to easily change kernels, modems, themes, apps, boot animations, etc. It also has OTA updates. I used it for quite a while and it has been stable, fast and virtually bug free.
CM7 continues to be a favorite among many folks. It is in good, but not perfect shape... but it is quite serviceable as an everyday ROM. You can modify pretty much everything you can imagine. Nightlies are available for flash freaks.
MIUI (and my favorite version - Galnet MIUI) is looking really great lately. I personally find the way it deals with notifications and replies very intuitive... even more so that CM7. Again, it has OTA updates which are handy. But it is very personal. Some people hate MIUI and some people love it.
If your nephew prefers to start with a basic flash and go ROM then Cognition, Criskelo, Batista, and about a half dozen others are excellent ROMs where everything works.
On all these ROMs the first thing I install is Go Launcher, so I have a common set of home screens that make it easy to navigate. Then I can explore the unique elements under the skin. Again, the choice of launcher is very personal. Many folks swear by Launcher Pro, ADW and others.
How can you forget to mention Villain ROM 3.0?
It's the best. Close to stock with it's own VillainTweak program.
See where this is going?
Sent from my #sgs2
SGSII-land is like a different country... My oh my... I've heard XDA could be a harsh forum to wander, but I've only met kind and friendly users on the XDA-boards I usually look at..
Excuse me for asking you about your opinion about which ROM you find best to the SGS... Thx for the constructive posts, those of you who took time to makes such ones...
I'll find my own way through this damp and moist swamp of ROMs...

Look around, there is more then just a stock rom there.
Don't speak about something you do not know the details of.
XDA has rules, so do other sites and when it comes to disrespecting me and the source from which you got your materials from, I then have rules too.
Besides, I have been told numerous times now that what I contributed wasn't anything, and easy enough to do.
So there should be no problem with it standing in any real devs way.
They simply make their own base and move on.
So crying about it is unnecessary for anyone involved, including me.
Everyone just does their own thing and moves on, simple as that.
I am hating on you Santod.. I have a lot of respect for you and i am sure everyone does.. I am on your rom right now.. The non eternity one... And it is honestly awesome, i just want a more aosp rom, i know you have a desense rom in the making but it has been pulled for weeks now.. I wanted to see mack, you, and jester all make a combined kick ass rom..

I think you should all work together... Everyone respects all the devs but its awesome to see you guya work together.

It's still on the host server and plenty are running it.
Check the last few pages of the thread....
I believe I posted 3-4 updates on that rom, this week alone.
Wow now I remember why I just got over this phone and moved on. Santod040 is the only one that attempted to integrate the patches into gb to get ICS for you guys. It wasn't a typical ruu, a lot of work had to go into that integration. And then everyone acted like it was open season on his work. His attitude might have been better if he was ever asked in the first place for it to be used. But he wasn't, and none of the other ICS roms really were any different than any of his. And I have seen a lot of people say that integrating the patches was easy work, but yet no other dev has done it themselves. There's a difference between development and taking someone else's rom zip, theming it, adding other tweaks also developed by someone else, and calling it yours.

This is a pretty good explanation of where I think santod is coming from even though it isn't coming from him directly. All of you are acting like it was some walk in the park or something to assemble the ota but it sure is taking all of you a lot longer than it took him to do.

Not really trying to speak for him, just back him up. It seems the easier rooting/roming becomes the less people seem to understand (or care to understand) what goes into development. They just want it now and don't care how they get it.

Everybody respects Santod... but his ROM's are not on XDA they are on Infected Roms.... I am on his NuSense Rom for a while now.... It just seems ridiculous that Mack and Santod could not work together IMO... Now if Mack was refusing to give Santod his fully deserved credit for the Base and Stock Rom then yeah I understand.
I am not hating on Santod what so ever... I am getting the best battery life ever on his NuSense Sense 3.6 Rom... With Nova Launcher it actually moves pretty nice too for stock kernel...
Let's be honest though... Sense 3.6 sucks... Sense Sucks... We all want AOSP.. That is not happening until the Source get's released... so a Desensed Rom is something of extreme interest.
I can not wait for the Jelato Santod Rom to be done... I just figured maybe Mack or Jester may be able to throw Santod some ideas maybe and before you know if we would have a 10x better DeSensed ROM then if it was just by one particular Dev.
Yeah I mean the only thing that bugs me is that while Santod makes a good rom, he cant help himself from customizing it the way *he* likes it, and not the general public at times. Every time I use one of his roms I'm like "wow, amazing performance, sweet battery life, all the features but wtf is up with this font? Why this theme?". It'd be like getting a rewritten AOSP rom built from HTC's source, and then shipping it with a hello kitty theme I liked Mack's work because it had that truly vanilla feel to it with all the under the hood tweaks a launcher like Apex can offer. The new Jelato rom actually runs worse than the unsense rom, albeit just slightly. It's certainly better than Sense, but still kinda leaves something to be desired.
I guess what I ultimately dont get is why anybody cares if someone else rips off your work. It's not like either of them are being paid here, which means it all comes down to fame and recognition. If your motives are pure, and you are simply doing this for the community, then you should be happy that someone went and tweaked a new flavor of your rom for everybody to use. Why there's this whole desire for credit is beyond me. Seems kinda conceited. "How dare you steal my charitable donations!" What have you got to lose?
Like I said, I really dont want to see just one rom developer out there. If santod is the only one left with the skill to properly port these things, then he should be supportive of others customizing his work. It does do him or the community any good to horde all his development unless there's some sort of financial incentive in it for him and he needs revenue from this somehow. And if he gets bored or offended and quits then the TB community just dies forever? That sucks. If the only people left willing to contribute are kanger's, then let them! We cant have our entire community rest in the hands of one developer.
I support and help anybody and everybody that treats me with an ounce of respect.
IT IS NOT ABOUT CREDIT!!!!
I could give a **** about credits or your complaints about my theming.
Maybe the theming is my way of saying it's mine.
The original UnSense was about as Vanilla as it gets really.
If you don't like what I have to offer up, then don't use it, it's simple.
If the fact that someone else left their rom half sense and half aosp makes it more vanilla for you, then fine.
Use his pieced together rom, I don't care.
What do you guys want from me?
Sure, treat me like an asshole, but feel free to help yourself to my stuff....
Anyone whining about this still, needs to get a life.
Any real developer wouldn't have batted an eye, made their own base and rolled along.
If what I contributed was "nothing" and easy to do, why all the fuss?
By the way, everyone else loves the theme, you happen to be the first to complain about how it looks.
There is this thing called UOT and another called apktool, maybe you should find those and learn to use them, before you go criticizing anymore work of others.
You may find yourself with ZERO rom options!
Any useful thread on the matter that is not just santod vs the world or people complaining about locked threads will not be closed.
This is not such a thread.
They serve no useful purpose for the community.
If you have issue with this PM me, I am not looking to "play God" or any some such activity, but the denizens of this community must be spared such drama as found in this thread.
Let's all work together to create a better development community.
