Yes, I read the thread about how pissed you get when you read "which rom is best" from an idiot newbie like me. I'm not asking which is best. That's too general.
I want the aosp rom with good working 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wifi and GAPPS. I want dependable sms/mms, able to answer and hang up from phone calls, battery life better than stock. I don't care about netflix.
I would like vzw/vvm to work but not a dealbreaker.
We can narrow down the choices to mini bamf, cm7, or the latest liquid aosp rom if you like.
Which one just works?
I've been using Th3ory for the longest. Try dhacker's version 2.8
Should be everything you're looking for.

I have heard that OMFGB is a great one, I talked to the developer more than a few times about it even tho I don't use it. He has a long track record making the same Rom and porting it to different devices.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
I'd really like to hear from folks who have been using an aosp Rom long enough to know its flaws. Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. Neither of those roms had occurred to me. Now I have 5 to pick from!
Signature says it all...
My name is Revos I'm a recovering flashaholic running Liquid Gingerbread 3.0
Either OMFGB or SHIFTAO5P will be your best bets! I use SHIFT, and have been for quite a while, only flashing to others just to see if they can beat it!
Anybody try the new build 16 cm7? I'm curious if the blietooth static problem is gone?
Does verizon vvm work on any aosp rom?
Th3ory is rock solid, the other one I would recommend is below

CM7 is awesome on the Tbolt. Well -as awesome as this awful phone can get.
#1 bug - location problem. It is easily fixed but the fix is not baked in bc it involves "borrowing" the HTC location.apk from the 2.11.605.3 leak/pulled ota.

How about your bluetooth audio quality? I am accustomed to Bluetooth connection in car for hours every day and I need to hear and be heard clearly.
Does vzw vvm work?

1. No that is not all you do. Sorry. Let me find the link for the detailed set of instructions. And this is for location - not navigation.
Fix network location on CM7
2. I have never had problems with actual GPS - if you do have GPS problems - you know - navigation - the solution is to get a solid lock on GPS from your Sense rom before you flash CM7. If you have already flashed CM7 -create a nandroid backup. Flash back to Sense. Get a GPS lock. Restore nandroid. ? Profit.
Anyone know if xfinity app and hbo go app work in this rom?

Have you tried the fix?
Use Rom Manager *The latest version of my suggestion is only accessible this way*
Look at "Unofficial CyanogenMod 7 Builds" by ProTekk in the Download ROM section.
Grab the latest version (Build 20 as of OCT28) and enjoy. This rom works great for me with Tiamat's latest kernel and the 0906w_ radios. You will need to perform the location fix each time you flash an update but the rom is smooth and gives you all the CM7 perks and extras

Is WiFi calling working on any 2.2.1? I think i read here somewhere its not, so its not just a SweetHoney thing.
I did like the snappyness of SweetHoney, didn't really test it to long. I plan to run it maybe over the next week after I check out some more Radios for it.
Ive testes the Sweet Honey and have had no data issues as of yet. The only problem I am seeing is with the "black market app" Applanet, for some reason it has trouble connecting with the network at times. Minus that works fantastic so far...
only issue i have is the GPS not working - but its been raining and i have had the opportunity to get outside to test it.
Hopefully its not a big deal.
Love this ROM. Best so far for me.
email/swype update zip

CyanogenMod is SO much faster. I tried HaXspresso for a day and it was so laggy and slow compared to stock AOSP with CyanogenMod tweaks. Also it is stable. I had no issues so far and I use the nightlies.

now if youre asking what i want i would tell you this:
tweetdeck, better battery life (like i get with aray roms), and for some reason ill lose signal when my phone sleeps when using cm7. everything else is good.
I havent tried it, but im sure its functional since its just a different launcher. A true dev in my opinion needs to know code. Thats why i dont concider myself a real dev. Anyone can mod a working rom, but when it comes to bringing a completely new rom to the table, you wont get everything working unless you got that coding knowledge.
Keep playing around in it. We have to start somewhere!

I ran this ROM for about 3 days straight, and I really, REALLY liked it. The only thing I didn't like about it, though (Kinda nitpicking here) is the camera app. =/ But other than that, its a solid ROM <3. Maybe in a future update, you could replace that app with the normal one? And the stock Android theme (White taskbar) would be awesome too :3.

Nothing wrong with "plain CM7", but Birgertime's version is hardly a knockoff. If it weren't for him, we'd still be using mute/unmute on calls in CM7 and GPS would still not work. Many of his fixes have been rolled back into the official CM7 for Vibrant.

No intention of knocking any of the other Dev's here at all. In most cases that "I've" seen, ROMS built off of CM7 which already has issues of its own, tend to have more issues than not. I haven't tried any other GB ROM other than CM7 so I don't have any experience with them. I do know CM7 has worked perfectly for me so far, and I do know most of the problems encountered are from the end users.
Cheers
EDIT: Is phiremod even Birgertime's ROM? It's also built off of CM7 #74.

I had a rooted and ROM'd Galaxy Nexus (that was stolen without insurance) and finally got my perm replacement, the Thunderbolt. First things first I noticed tons of bloatware, most of which can't be removed. i.e. Blockbuster, Google Talk, etc. I essentially was hoping to just have a bare bones Android OS. If I can get it on the Market / App store, then I really don't want it on there. Google Talk is throwing sign in errors (even though I'm properly linked to my gmail account) Facebook won't even download without an "unsuccessfully" installed error every time, and I'd like to tether using PDANet. Really just want to use the basics of the phone - but was hoping to just find a debloated copy of Gingerbread. Maybe a few tweaks here and there to speed things up, and something to increase the battery life(from what I hear the batt life is already atrocious) Anyone by chance aware of a ROM that simple that I haven't been able to find? :good:
Jellyblur is very good. Killasense .9 not .19, has been great, skyraider is very good also. Because of the nature of our radio, aosp is tricky. A desensed rom may be ur best bet. Several out there, bully desensed probably my favorite. U can still use a sense kernel on it, imo 5.2 is the best.

Hope I'm not thread jacking but I have a similar question:
My brother picked up a second hand thunderbolt that was rooted and he is having stability issues with the current ROM. I don't have a thunderbolt so I don't know what ROMs to flash for him unfortunately.
He just needs a ROM where speed and stability are critical and everything will work out of the box, including GPS and LTE. Debloat and desense are not that important.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

Well honestly, either way you go, senseless or AOSP, your gonna run into some bugs. This is because AOSP is only about 92% stable. The problems in a Sense based rom that has been desensed may be an issue. I can't give you a list of bugs you would see, but basically they would be there. When a rom is desensed, some key elements of the rom are removed. When these things get removed bugs appear. Your not gonna find a perfect rom, but if you can deal with a couple bugs here and there, then I am positive you will find plenty of good roms on the forums.
since when does aosp have reception problems.
SlimKANG 2.1 for my favorite "senseless." I bounce between that and EclipticRez, but SK 2.1 has no issues that are not by design that I notice.
Awesome, then I know what to try and what to look for. My 5th droid 3 died and the 12mo warranty was up. I had to buy another phone and HTC makes solid phones and this had great specs. This phone was $200 and in excellent condition and couldn't pass it up. I figured I'd just flash aosp, but the phone came with cm9 and data was in and out never stable, dropped calls, and signal sucked. Flashed latest original RUU and now I want to S-OFF and go sensless.
Thanks for your advice. Greatly appreciated.

Adrenaline 2.0. Neo is a fantastic dev, and a great guy. He answers questions about his work no matter how basic, and will help you with any problems. Also, Dragonstalker's Rezone Redux is an awesome Senseless rom. To be honest, there isn't a single bad senseless rom out there. The dev community here has those whipped.
Make sure that you aren't using the wrong network settings with CM9, most of the people with data issues that I helped straighten out, actually caused their data issues without realizing it. The AOSP network settings are slightly different from what you would use on sense. If I remember correctly it's the second and fourth options that you use. Somebody running AOSP will need to confirm that though.
