a good rom? I would prefer, asop with camera working, 4g dose not mater much. But i will use a sense rom aslong as its fast themed and tweaked. Help me out if you can.
Why not just browse through the development forums and read on what the aosp roms offer.... There aren't that many.
yea im looking for something someone has tried or is currently running right now trust me i looked through the forums
I personally would go with Viper Rom And once Chad's Rls 14 kernel comes out flash that on top of viper and you'd have an amazing rom/kernel combo!

Im going to check that out. When dose this kernel com out? And whats the best kernel to use thats out now with this rom?
viperrom & Infected Eternity are 2 of my favorite and most current sense roms, If your set on a aosp rom, cm7 or MIUI are gonna be what you want FTW.
MIUI latest version I get like 16 to 20 hrs of battery life and that with normal usage. You can also buy Boot Manager app that way you can have a Sense rom just a boot away if you need 4g or 3d camera... thats what I did... I have MIUI and on boot manager I have Senseless rom which have a working 3d camera..
Try Cyanogenmod 7. It's 2.3 AOSP with pretty much everything working but 3D pictures (videos still work) and 4G. Look up cyanogenmod 7 in the dev section - you won't see it from browsing since it's closed right now.
Until Cyanogenmod 9 is released, there's no ICS AOSP with working cam yet.

The one that comes with the ROM is the best because it's the only one that works haha and Chad's should be out soonish
Swyped from mah 3vo!
My two favorites right now are KMyers' version of CyanogenMod 7, it's very stable, has camera working, basically only things missing are 4G and 3D, and it's also extremely fast. The other one is the infinitely customizable MIUI, which is also very stable, with only 4G, 3D and Bluetooth stereo audio missing.
Im gonna give MIUI a go for the first time. Anyone know if MIUI rom has facebook integration?

no, no AOSP ROM has native Facebook integration. I've read mentions of using Friendsync or SyncMyPix to sync contacts' pictures, in addition to using the Facebook app
I am a fan of the official alpha for CM7. I was using it as a daily driver, but now I'm itching for ICS!!!

I'm assuming that you are on Sprint (or have a CDMA EVO 3D).
If you're on HBOOT 1.50, how did you flash E3DLight? You will need to flash it using the workaround trick of running 'fastboot boot [NAMEOFYOURRECOVERY].img'. I'm not completely sure what the status is of that specific ROM, but it may be just an issue with flashing ROMs.
No MIUI. I understand. Just one thing about MIUI though, you don't have to use the MIUI launcher. You can install a launcher like ADW, or LauncherPro. That's all I'm going to say on the MIUI front.
For AOSP, you might want to look at KMyer's CyanogenMod 7 port. It's not completely stable, but it's pretty good.
There really aren't too many more AOSP ROMs I can think of. If you don't mind a ROM built off the HTC base, but with much of the Sense stuff taken out of it, you might have a look at freeza's freEVO ROM.
Hope this helps,

IMO Sense sucks ass and whenever you switch to an AOSP based rom you will never want to go back to sense. I've been using the latestet builds of the ICS rom which works...kinda but you may want to stay away from it if you are not to fimarlier with flashing roms and such.
I would install this ROM if I were you: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13354-cust-thundershed-v16-cm72-ics-ish-june-4/
I ran that rom for months and loved it, much faster then stock, more features and better battery life when used with IMO's leans kernal found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/1258-kernel-aosp-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-v621-52012/
I'd say something BAMF. SkyRaider maybe. I personally love Sense. I love the widgets, mainly the picture album widget.

I'd agree with the skyraider suggestion if you are new to this and want to stay close to what you have now. Use that and once setup make a backup, then you cam experiment with others til you find what you like and you'll always have the backup to restore if you don't like what you are trying out. I'd definitely give worksheds cm build a run as well to check out the aosp side and decide if its for you. He is an excellent dev and I personally have had the privilege to use his work when he first started and he played a big part in getting me started as well. You can't go wrong with either of those builds.

I agree with the recommendations. Of the Sense based ROMs SkyRaider and Son of a Bliss (SOAB) are the best. The best AOSP ROMs are ThunderShed (what this poster refers to as "WorkShed's CM build") and SFK's CM7 build (it is based on ThunderShed). I have tried the newer ROMs based on the ICS leak and while it is cool to think you are getting ICS on your phone the kernels are not ICS and so there are small issues that seem to pop up. Santod's NuSense is perhaps the most stable and best looking of these if you want to investigate.
Most people find that every phone is different and what works best on my phone isn't necessarily what works best on yours. Add to that, different kernels and radios work better on individual phones. So while starting with a recommended combination (eg, ThunderShed, using Zoom kernel and .9 radio works well on my phone), you may find a different combination works best of yours. So prepare to try out different ROMs, with different kernels, and different radios. Part of the fun, in fact, is trying them out. Good luck.

if you want to go the cyanogenmod route, use CM7.1.1 unofficial for the thunderbolt. its lying around this forum somewhere, CM7 uses android open source (AOSP for short) and it installs with only 88+MB of data, leaving LOTS of room. talk to me about how to majorly speed up the phone as i have and you will not regret it. i have used cm7.1, plus other tweaks involving sd-ext and cache boosts to speed up this phone 300%.using sense roms is nice, but if you want speed long term, then dont use sense. it clogs the memory with extra visuals that just arent needed.
wat up brahs,
finally got ubuntu installed which means i finally got s-off, which means i'm finally free to do whatever da **** i want. anyways i'm looking for the most stable/least bugged custom rom running android (no sense bull****) i see theres a lot of cyanogenmod 10.1 but in all honesty whenever i install cyanogen theres some serious bugs (gps not working, lte not working, google music malfunctions, etc)
So what is the best/most stable pure android 4.2 experience i can get right now?
I am enjoying the Carbon ROM 4/28 build. I have not run across any bugs and the battery time is solid. I have used GPS but LTE is unavailable to me and I have not used Google Music.
At this point, anything that doesn't sat Nightlies. I have noticed that the stability of each rom varies from phone to phone. I can tell you whatever I want to about XX rom, and make all of my claims. It would mean nothing to you if you phone can't boot the rom.
My motto, why depend on someone else's judgment, when you don't know what makes it better than the other roms to begin with?
As for my opinion on where to start, try kushdeck's latest 4.2 build. It's the closest to stock 4.2.
EDIT: Why does a flashaholic need rom advice anyway? Lol.

~Asking for the 'best rom' is just like asking who's the best Pokémon. When you get it, sometimes you realize that its not all that great in your opinion. Try to flash 'em all! ~
I was having issues with my phone where all my calls would go straight to voicemail using sense roms. I was on Slimbean for a while and it was about as stable of a rom as you can get. So I'd recommend slimbean.

another vote for kushdeck's cm 10.1 build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110920
very stable
I'm running CM10.1 M2 "cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2". It seems very stable thus far; been running it for around a week.
There were issues getting GPS to work, but there is a workaround that fixed it for me on the first try. Only takes about 10 minutes to fix using this method.
That said, MHL/HDMI still don't work. I haven't been able to find a workaround to get it to work, yet.
Overall I'd recommend CM10.1. Doesn't seem unstable to me thus far; haven't had a single crash.
I tried a lot of the AOSP ROMs and LiquidSmooth has been the best for me. It has tons of customization options from within settings and is really snappy when multitasking. Each ROM I tried including CM always had some strange issue that made me jump ship. Only thing liquid does is spazz out on the lock screen like a GUI glitch but doesn't effect performance and I don't know if its a me thing or ROM based.
CM is so vanilla. Sense is dopeness. Especially w sense 5 Rom.
Jk by the way, CM 10 is good if u can deal with stuff not working right. Much like Sense 5 port for us.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Cm has been really good for me. Everything works except for the MHL/HDMI out which I do not care for since I never use it. The battery life on CM 10.1 is amazing, much better than Carbon. That being said, Carbon is still a great rom. My vote is CM 10.1 but you should try both and see which you like better

So i got my DNA last week and have been playing around with it for awhile (trying several different roms) but i havent found one that fits me perfectly.
I'm looking for one that is desensed
remap hardware keys
Works with Verizon (though 99% of them do)
Beats audio enabled
HTC keyboard (though i can go without)
The two closest i've gotten is VipersDNA and the Unofficial CM port.
I really like CM only real problem is that beats doesnt really work with it (and i know it has dsp but just doesnt sound as well and i cant get eq perfect)
Viper is almost perfect besides a few nitpicks (I miss my scrollable wallpaper and dont like user a different launcher on top) and i prefer the task manager on CM a bit better (though ive never had the phone lag once which is amazing i like hitting recent and closing all apps, but i can easily go without)
Anyone have any suggestions? I've tried several others but can't find one just right...

I am on CM 10.1 Right now. Only gripe is the camera, not nearly as good as stock sense since it isn't the sense camera but i can live with it. Some of the customization features dont work either. I wouldn't say it is perfect but it is getting there and the DEVs are doing an amazing job for something that is free. Im just waiting for the bugs on GPE to be worked out so I can switch to that.

I'm currently on EclipticNA by Hawknest. It's Sense 5 based so you still have Beats Audio and the HTC Keyboard. All system apps and some user apps are blacked out and inverted, which I love. This ROM is VERY fast, and with Crpalmers kernel it's faster than light! For desensing, just freeze or uninstall Sense, and use whatever other launcher you want. Recent apps button is remapable. There's "press for recents", "press for recents, hold for menu", and "press for menu, hold for recent".
Other than that, when all the kinks in Newt's GPE ROM get worked out, that would be good for your needs.

Romwise
Firstly I wanna start out by saying that having to post 10x before i can post to help development is annoying. But i do understand why. So im posting this as my first post to start my way to be able to help development. Im currently rocking a Droid dna. Roms Ive so far liked for this phone Ill list with a brief reason why in order.
1. Team Venom Viper rom. Fast stable and mods out the bum. No issues
2. EclipticNa inverted. Best sense 5 rom to me. Fast stable and saves so much battery with the invert
3. Supercharged hatka. Pretty fast decent mods. And stable.
Ive flashed and used 8 of the roms from xda for the dna so far. When Im able to post for development Ill start giving detailed reviews and helping the devs out. U guys can help a guy out by giving me a thumbs up or something. Thanks.

There is a new version of NOS GPE out, version 1.0.3, which fixed all the force reboot and data issues for me, all I had to do was cycle airplane mode two or three times for it to pick up Verizon's connection. Smoothest ROM I've tried so far.
It makes sense that it would work well, because it's coming from an AOSP rom made by HTC for the One. I've had problems with small things not working on other custom ROMs, like HDMI. GPE 1.0.3 has no issues like that so far.

Except for beats that's from sense, not aosp, and if it were pure aosp it wouldn't be 400megs, it'd be like 150. Its desensed from HTC, that's it. It also works quite well, and rather then being bland and boring (to me) it is a very excellent choice for non sense but pretty perfect running.

True, I guess ultimately it's the best AOSP ROM available for the DNA, although I'd love to see a team like Venom come out with a more custom experience based off of it.
"Anandtech's Brian Klug discovered that both the Developer Editions of the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S 4 will not receive software updates directly from Google because they're not running pure Android Open Source Project (AOSP) software, but instead a combination of the OEM kernel and the stock Android skin. As a result, the Google Play edition devices may not receive new Android versions as quickly as standard Nexus devices."
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...one-and-galaxy-s-4-arent-quite-nexus-devices/
I'm still wondering what other "stuff" is in the Google Editions; pure AOSP is under 200 MB, add gapps which is under 100 MB, and then there's _____?

Hopefully by now he OP has narrowed down his choices, so continuing with another subject that came up: why have an original development and a development forum?
Is the distinction that an original development ROM is compiled from source even if the ROM has cherry-picks from another ROM and is based on something such as CM, while the development forum are for ROMs that are ported from one device to another which is made to fit over the Sense base since there is no public Sense source to compile from, or is a modification of a manufacturer's ROM?

Built from source = original development
Built from a factory ROM or otherwise pre compiled image, including from other devices (this covers current MIUI as well) = development
The Roms in development because they have cherry picks but are source built should be in original development, but whatever the mods decide I guess.
That's how I understood it when it was originally posted by XDA when it started.

I have tried the unofficial CM roms by Johnnyslt. In general they are awesome and you get all at least cutting edge software but it doesn't have a working 3D camera so keep your hands off those ROMs. As far as I know they are working on a fix though. I remember reading that dastin or agrabren is working on it or at least was.

Only sense 3.5 and 3.6 are fully working. Sense 4.x sill have some problems and on AOSP ROMs 3d camera doesn't work. So, if you want a stable, fully working ROM go with sense 3.6. There's a lot of them you could try

That sounds good though, do you know what specific problems they have with Sense 4 Roms?
The biggest is the fact that camera app is ported from sense 3.6 so it's not compatible with gallery app. You would need to download third party app to se your pics in 3d. Other than that some small bugs, not really worth mentioning. And some people reported reboots on YAS ROM. I 've tried it for a day or two and didn't have reebots
