ok this might be a stupid question but i can't decide which rom to choose. i need a rom that is fast and smooth also fun to use. can anyone suggest the best rom. I can't use miui nb 1.12.2 because its giving problems and 1.11.18 is kinda slow.
ICS - Awesome, it gives your phone a new feel, a new look. It's different from older things. (Gingerbread, Froyo, etc.) But, it's not the fastest, it is fast, but not the fastest.
ICS is definitely fun to use.
MIUI - I don't know.. I like it, but it looks too.. professional? In a way? Like.. I feel you can customize it less. I like the features, but I dun know, reminds me of when I had my 3GS, ahah. It's fast, not as fast as CM7 or a Bionix 2.2 ROM, but it's pretty fast.
I think ICS is a little slower than MIUI, but that little bit of lag is worth all the cool little features ICS has.
Edit; But if you do want to stay on MIUI, I suggest this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364390
It was running great when I was using it.
ICS = no gps
That is the killer for me. After the "Hardware fix" my gps usually locks within 15-20sec. I use it every day. Another reason I stay clear of GB ROMS (non CM7/Miui) is because you need a very old kernel to use gps.
Thanks friends. im going to try ics and see how it works. but wich ics rom do you recommend?

I am running this one on my Vibrant. It is smooth and fast. Very crisp, and not many problems for a Beta version.

I currently have FroydVillain 1.7.2 rom on my phone.
I want to try something else because I had some problems with it.
Sometimes the phone is laggy, the messages load time is really slow, sometimes I don't get call and can't make them( ex: someone call me and it does the same thing as if my phone was closed), youtube problems and many other things.
Still there is some things I like about it, the quality of the camera(not really the interface), the easy user interface ( don't really like that half circle in other version), and other things.
So for a guy like me, who dosen't use his phone to play with it or you know, mess with the cpu (and other things like that) what other rom would you advise me.
(I would still like to have something with Android version 2.2.1 or newer, don't know the difference between each but I don't want to have less options or I don't know what)
Thanks.
+ The battery die fast.
In my opinion floyo 1.2 is the best 2.2 rom. no matter what i flash i always end up coming back to it.
I'm using Elelinux's latest Hero ROM, which is very smooth and stable so far. Also, since it's based on CM7 (Android 2.3), you can theme the hell out of it if you like.
Compared to the FroydVillains I've used in the past it maybe isn't quite as fast, but the difference is minimal. Although if you really need some speed, this 2.2-based rom is probably the way to go.
Try some of the latest Gingerbread ROMs. Very smooth and good battery life. If you absolutely must have Froyo, you're not going to find much that improves on what you've already got.

Cronos is another good Gingerbread ROM as well.
my choice:
2.1 : Sense rom for sure, elelinux's repack is good
2.2 : floyo 1.2, really great!
2.3 : elelinux's one, but with andriod 2.3.2 or before
going to try out the new android 2.3 with sense! hope i will stick on it after
you could try out the wildfire port of gingerbread with sense 2.1. its really cool and quite smooth!
Nothing better than nightly CyanogenMod 7.1! No more invisible menus and it is fast loading ^^

Now that CM7 is stable, what do you prefer to use between these roms?
I'm using Crysis' work because of its fantastic looks, but everyone is cheering for the CM.
Whats the pros and the cons for each rom? And for the MIUI, whats so special about it?
I'm not negative towards any rom and respect each developer but trying to see the difference more clearly.

i tested both 3 rom and i prefer miui.
crysis's sensation : good looking touchwiz rom .. but that's all
cm7 : pure google experience with performance. now stable , with more customization. have many themes out there to be flash.
miui : for me , this is the best rom if you find a "good-looking" rom. it have many theme to be download , customize (with your own style) , lock screen , and it's stable too. miui is easier to download theme because no need to be flash , just download and change .. it also have various lockscreens , you named it.
i suggest you test all the rom , your own experience is better than my suggestion.
You're comparing 3 totally different roms, and i do mean totally different.
I haven't tried the sensation rom but just looking at its thread it looks extremely good for a samsung rom, cm7 on the other hand is pretty plain looking but can be polished up, while miui on the other hands puts every rom to shame in the looks department... however its the slowest of all the roms.
And im not talking about in benchmarks, im talking about responsiveness especially when launching apps. I've been using miui for months now and simply hate that its so laggy when launching apps. Sometimes i have to wait 1 second after i tap it for it to actually start, i've gotten tired of the lag so i switched to cm7... every app launches instantly no matter what.
You really have to try them all because they're all so different, just do a cwm backup incase you don't like the rom so you can switch back with no fuss.

Totally agree and just one point from me.Take care of the kernel you are using when flashing between those roms.I think siyah is compatible with the 3 of them

So for one who isn't interested in optimizing and adding stuff all the time, which one is more stable or easy to go at?
And how about battery life, which has the longest?
what would be the best rom to go to for my atrix?
It really depends on your daily usage and user style. I can tell you that you have 3 options:
2.3.4/2.3.6 Blur Based roms: Roms based on official motorola roms. They are very stable and have all the stuff working. Including Webtop. When i want a Blurred rom, i go with Nottachtrix 4G. Pretty sick and stable rom. Only complain so far is battery life. Blur roms tend to be a little laggy because they have lots of motorola stuff and they make the phone laggy.
CM7: Based on GB. Lots of good stuff and great customization. Great battery life. They have almost all the features working. Only problem with them is that they currently doesn't support webtop.
CM9: Based on ICS. Right now they are on beta stage so they have some bugs still that need to be worked on. We have no drivers for our processor, so the devs are having a hard time coding everything right now, and the deving is a little slow. Currently we have two CM9 roms Jokersax's and Turl1's. They are co-deving so the builds are pretty similar.
Thats about everything we have on the Atrix right now. You better.test them all and decide by yourself.

I am running the cm7 rom right now after trying a couple of them and it is by far the best one I have used. Battery life is great and it realllllly fast. I also have the faux123 1.45 oc kernel. And altogether I have not found anything that works better for me personally.

Nobody can tell you what the best ROM to use is.... Everyone looks for different things in their ROMs... Some like MIUI (which i dont get, if you want your device to look like an iPhone, then buy an iPhone....) Some like CM7, some like stock based.... you'll have to just play aroud with some ROMs and decide whats best for you.
whats the best stable, lag free, and fast rom for the fascinate? is their any ROM that has JB/Kk? also, i need a rom with lots of internal space.
honestly i've been most satisfied with EH03, the verizon stock ROM. i've tried every version of CyanogenMod and nothing has come close to the fluidity and speed of good ol gingybread.
although if you absolutely can not stand touchwiz for some reason, CM9 is ok but it has a couple of issues (no native wifi tethering, weird texts from blank numbers, sometimes it just freezes and reboots itself).
also i use imoseyon's lean kernel along with a couple of other mods.. if you want them let me know. it kinda looks like touchwiz 4 for me.
using the stock verizon build too, debloated, debinged, rooted. all the links to EH03-based ROMs are dead unfortunately.

And it's so subjective,,, what works for one another despises...
I loved 'baked blackbean 6' it was 4.1.x jellybean (course i heavily tweaked it to my personal liking),,, and then came Slim ROM 4.2.2 ,,,
hellybean was good too,,,
Of course running the devil kennel from hellybean on these was the ticket too.
you just gotta be willing to take the plunge and try some different ones out till you find the one that trips your trigger the best :thumbup:
actually, based on prior experience, CM7 is the best non-TW GB ROM (although i'm content with my gutted out modded to hell EH03), ICS i just don't recommend because it gives excellent performance and is solid but the devs never fixed a few issues that are kinda big. JB just always lagged and stuttered too much but i remember Helly being a halfway decent rom

How much internal space does it have?
Hi. Sorry for my bad English.
Can someone tell me his experience with Roms? (Please) I'm lookin for a good, fast, stable and smooth ROM. I don't care the version. It can be GB, ICS, JB or KK. I want it faster and stable. I have tried carbon, slim, smooth, miui.... And others.... And all of them turns lag after a week of use. I'm on MIUI right now and its eye candy but very lag.
Will be useful to make a pool or a category list of fast roms to lag but eyecandy. We love Roms with a lot of new stuff and features but we really need a stable and daily driver rom and the stock ROM is lag too.
Thank you!

+1 - Agree with Welder!
For JB, my go to....try the Aviator series: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...or-aokp-v104-061613-200-test-available-071013 There are actually 3 ROMS AOKP, Cyanogen and Gummy. I like the AOKP as Gapps is built in. I have this as a backup on my DD.

If al of your ROMS start getting 'laggy' after about a week of use, maybe you should look into Greenify, or not downloading some apps. You might have a lot of processes running in the background that might be making it 'laggy' because our phones only have 1gig of memory (which actually isn't a bad thing, but still).
Of all KK ROMS that I've been using in the past 3-4 months, I haven't had any issues with lagging. Maybe some FCing, but from my own mistake of trying to tinker with them too much (kernel settings). I would look into cleaning up your PHONE first, THEN look into finding your 'perfect' ROM because everybody is going to have their own opinion on what ROM is best. I, too, have used Carbon (now), Slim, LS, Cyan, Axxiom, and a few others, and they all work great (IMHO). Do your reading. Look at what people are saying. Support your favorite dev.
I'm using ParanoidAndroid for 2-3 months. I didn't do clean install only in the begginning. Installed stable OTAs, and some beta OTAs too. I didn't notice any lag or problem.
There were some problems with some versions, but if you wait 3-4 days after every release and check the forums for any complains, you skip the problematic version and you will be fine.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'm using axiom and like it, it's fast and smooth. I'll try greenify too. Really liked miui but it's so lag. I don't want to tweak kernel, I'm afraid with that going to try this ROM for a while and I'll let you know what happens. Thank you.

I don't think that's a bad choice...AXXION, version 1.6.0 will be out today-ish. I would wait to see how that works. The Devs added a ton of stuff and there was a total Re-Do. Might be a Bug or Two crashing around I am totally enjoying Gummy! Lots of good stuff for us lucky users!
Paranoid android is Extremely smooth and snappy.
Lol guys thanks for recommending us!!!!!!! THANKSS!!! @MauriceFdo I am de Axxion founder along @ThatKawaiiGuy. We are glad to hear that!

Axxion is built with Linaro 4.9, so it's smooth and fast.
It also looks very nice with Crimson Mode
Axxion works great. I've updated to 1.60 and feels good. I have a question.... Why Google play store looks different on MIUI ROM? I like it. Anyway thanks @siracuervo and @ThatKawaiiGuy for your great work!
