Ill go first ha.
I like miui because I don't like sense, I think it hogs space and I have always liked aosp.

Cm7 fast the best of all rom!
The upcoming ICS rom...lol
CM definitely. I love AOSP, and I love the customization that CM has.
CleanROM 1.3 DE for me. Fast, clean and liking Sense, MiUi aosp and cm7 all look like iPhone OS. And a few things still dont work on those builds. 4G, 3D camera and some have wifi problems.
Miui here. Customization and speed is crazy.
And as long as this thread stays civil, it should be fun.

WTSB hydro 3.5 because it's the best. Devs are very responsive.

Miui is cool. Warm TwoPointThree is cool. And the devs for both are cool, as well as the user base.

Warm twopointthree is a very cool, responsive ROM. It also went RLS 1 today

Synergy Rom latest nightly build is amazingly fast and smooth.. everything works except screenshot picture pressing menu + power..
Definitely infected eternity. This is the fastest and smoothest ROM I've been on yet. I like the theme as well. I an a sense fan so I enjoy this ROM more than aosp, but I do like flashing cm once in a while as well.

I'm currently running 5 Rom's with boot manager. If you have not checked out that app yet u guys need to. But as far as favorite ROM that goes to warm2.3 as it is pure silk. I love the theme and the modded rosie just looks so so clean.
Currently I'm running miui as my phone ROM. I love the the themeing you can do on it plus its fast and stable. I don't worry Bout 4g as I live 400+ miles from any sort of 4g. But I do like to show off the 3d camera every now and again. So I invested in boot manager. Now if I want I just boot up a different rom. No more flashing back to stock to change a prl or use epst I just boot up a sense ROM change it and boot back to aosp.
Kinda off track I know lol. But its so hard to decide what I wanna run at any given moment. I like eternity for raw speed. I like miui for the theming. Warm 2.3 is silky smooth and sexy outta the box. Cm7 is well its cm7 its awesome. I've got different rom's for different things. Warm is set up to usb tether to my Linux pc where as eternity is set up to usb tether with winxp. I use cm with tiamat kernel kernel if i know I'm gonna be away from a charger for a while. Miui to be flashy and show off. And I also use bender bliss sense 3.5 just cause I can..
Currently I have my setup as follows
Phone Rom is miui with tiamat kernel
Slot one is infected eternity with antrax kernel
Slot two is warm 2.3 with bc blend kernel
Slot three is cyanogen mod7 valpha3 tiamat kernel
Slot four is bender bliss sense 3.5 with stock kernel.
So there those are my top five in no particular order whatsoever. Thanks to boot manager I don't need to pick "just one" ever again.

Yeah, I've tried that.. Looking for more of a stock gingerbread look.
Thanks!
Well my personal favorite is MIUI. Although it's not officially supported there are a few floating around. I couldn't say which is the most stable though. I'd like to know as well haha. I just came to Thunderbolt a few days ago so still newish to Thunderbolt

I know you said other than CM7, but CM7 builds by protek and liquid smooth roms v3.1 will get you a nice clean stock gingerbread rom. Also, liquid smooth roms v3.0 is good as well! Bad thing about miui is, mms does not work last I heard.
Try liguid 3.2 its small fast and highly customizeable. I get quad scores between 29 and 3200 at 1.5 ghz

The last stable cyanogen build from October (by slayher) is what I ran until I switched phones last week. Worked fine with no issues for me. Every other AOSP ROM is built off of it anyways and has the same RIL.
So what ROM is everyone using as their daily right now? What have you tried? Why did you choose your current ROM over others?
Rocko... since CM9 camera stopped working for me
Cm9 here. Came from cm7. I'm a flashaholic and I really like how smooth it is. Haven't flashed anything since. Just a couple kernels to see if I like any.

As far as stability and usability goes, I don't think you can beat imperium initiative. Its amazing and completely underrated... As for me I can't stay away from cm9 for some reason. Camera pisses me off sometimes but whatever, things get more promising with every release.
I love threads like this as a newcomer to this phone it helps me know which ones to consider I can't vote yet I guess until I upgrade May 1st

Imperium initiative. Works very well and everything works.
I actually didn't have much problem with the stock rom, except that for me voice command kept starting up out of no where and the audio would occasionally with speed up to chipmunk speed.
Started using CM9 a week ago and I am not going back. Before that it was the stock rooted

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.

Wouldn't really consider that stable. Stable to me means everything works. Nottachtrix for stock look, and CM7 for AOSP

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.

Yes because I feel that Nuetrino is so stripped down, you have problems. You have to flash add ins

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.

I'd recommend you CM7 with faux kernel.

I found myself flashing around 20 add-ons to get the phone to work properly.
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
Upgrade to 2.3.5
Flash Eclipse
Enjoy.

+1 for CM7
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.

Does CM7 still have the wifi issue? On the cm7 rom page, they said there may still be wifi sleep issue.
How about cameras? no bug found so far?

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.
Turn camcorder on, then turn flash on. Record, then turn of the cam. Fced twice forth me
