I'm currently rooted (with htv dev method) and i'm considering rom'ing it up. I see there are 4 or 5 roms currently being dev'ed for. I hoped i could get some user info on some of the pros and cons of some of the roms you guys have tested. What you like and don't like, issues and things like that. In the past i've used CM, MIUI, Stock sense, and AOKP. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Flash them and test for yourself
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I used Fresh ROM back in the Hero days and really liked it (currently using it on my EVO LTE with no problems). So if you like some of the Sense stuff, it's a good ROM to try from an experienced dev.
I'm running Viper with some mods, and couldn't be happier. It's sense and rock solid with great battery. I already have have over 4 hours of screen on time for today, and still have 54% of battery left. All of the roms are great in their own ways, so flex was right, read the threads, flash the ones that look good to you, and see what you like.
yea thast rite.. everyone is diff.. a rom im diggin u mite not like so deff try a few out.. another thing is all phones run diff.. a rom that runs perfect on my phone mite not on yours.. just flash away u will find one u like
Its all the same

only one rom really stands out right now and thats PKMN simply because of the tool it has to customize the look and feel of the ROM. it only has a few bugs, main one is having to manually edit a file to remap menu. the rest of the roms are practically the same. one might be updated faster than the other, but they all have the same "tweaks".
If you want to stay closer to stock, use the "Stock with Goodies" rom. otherwise pick any rom you want ELTE seems more up to date, Viper seems to have more additional mods to flash. Mainly the kernel tweaks

I'm not to sure which rom i should flash as of now and which kernel is best.
I looking forward a CyanogenMod Rom in the near future.
What are your guys suggestions?
Many of my friends swear by x rom, others swear by y rom, and some just go from one to another. I tend to agree with my friends.... I recommend finding one that suits you. This may not want you want as a reply however it is my experience that roms are like clothing..each has different tastes. Each feels different. Yes they are more similar then different but each one is unique. Speed your after...or looks...or functionality. If you are not sure..just pick one and try it out. Make a backup of one you like...try them all. I am not kidding. I am torn now between senseless and synergy. As I type this I am downloading Ava. Flashing is like a addiction that needs to be fixed. I am going thru the same pattern as when the OG evo came out...flashing everything in sight. Then after a while...I simply stick with one. I am a cm fan and used synergy then mik roms.
I rooted my Evo 3d last week i didnt wanna add any custom ROMbut now i changed my mind... and im just wondering out of all those Great Looking Roms witch one could be the best???
Please any suggestions???
I'll appreciate the help guys!

Everybody looks for different things and holds different features as priorities or essentials for themselves.
I think the best approach is to get yourself all setup to be able to flash/load different ROMs and be able to test them out. The first one you try might be your favorite, or the 5th. Really hard to say.
If you take some time and read through each ROM OP, you'll see what they emphasize for features and how often they update/make changes/improvements.
Also, once you are setup and familiar with the flashing ROM process, it should become quite simple to move between ROMs gaining valuable personal experience.
If you have any questions around the logistics, let us know! Hope that helps! Welcome to the world of a rooted Android!

These are two of the greatest different in ROMs, mainly due to their base. The sense ROMs are all based on HTC's stock sense ROM code and the AOSP ROMs are all based on Google's straight plain AOSP code.
Quick brief description .. to get a full range of ROMs, probably best to try at least one of each to see the difference. Most popular AOSP ROM is usually CM7. I'm not sure what the most popular custom Sense ROM .. dev board should show ..
Sense! i just love the widgets and all that fancy stuff from HTC

I like infected eternity roms. I just flashed the update which is 1.4.2. Great so far, but the last couple releases have been right on for me. Basicly themed stock but has a infected tweak section in settings for change a few things. Also spot hotspot is enabled. I run stock kernal and get greqt speed and battery. Quad scores for me can hit 3000 linpak 75ish. Has been my daily driver for awhile because i cant do with sense.

Viper rom once all the kinks are worked out
What is the best rom for the htc rezound? I want to have the latest version of android and sense for the htc rezound with everything working. I think the latest is android 4.0.4 and sense 4.0
What ROM are you using? If you are on S4, then you are using a custom ROM. Our "official" ICS only has Sense 3.6
BTW, wrong place to put this...not being a jerk about it like some will, but this should be in Q & A
Post one thread, one time, in the correct section please
Please delete this post. Sorry for posting in wrong forum.
Best ROM?
Well, if you insist on ICS, your choices are OK.
But, until the approved ICS rom appears, you may
get the best battery mileage with the latest GBread 2.01.605.11.
I have tried them ALL, and come back to a daily driver
of GB that's rooted and cleaned out with Titanium Backup.
It runs smooth, no FC's, and does everything I need without
any issues. Only the programs I use are installed or
loaded on startup. Once you get it the way you like, Nandroids will
allow you to jump around, try new stuff, then go back to what you like.
Venasaur 3.2 or cleanrom dev 1.4. Period.!

The best ROM is which ever ROM runs the best on your phone.
From my experience, the best way is to read the OP of the ROMs you are interested in, narrow it down to say 3-4 ROMs and try them out.
There is a good amount to choose from, GingerBread, ICS sense 3.5 to Sense 4.0
it looks like miui has even come too.
I will not go into anything DEV related, as I don't use ROMs based on the Dev, I use it based on how well it runs on my phone.
Nils' Business ICS 4.1 is my choice for Sense 3.6 out of everything I've tried. Great sound quality for Bluetooth audio. Everything works, no FCs, smooth, great theming. Love it!

I agree try them all until you find the 1 that suits your needs
NAND is your friend
Ineffabilis Deus has been by go to rom as of late.
it all defend on your preference!
This is totally subjective, but the first step is to figure out if you like Sense or not. That will help narrow it down by 50%
Beyond that, just try a bunch that have healthy threads and update frequency, and you can't go wrong.
Newt's XXX RLS1 is the best ROM I've run to date. Sense 4 is sick, and I haven't found one thing that doesn't work yet (besides the stupid data arrows, but who REALLY needs those anyway?) It's just too bad you can't get support in the thread for it here anymore, but he's easy to find if you know where to look.....
I was just curious as if someone had a knowledge of the ice roms and their differences, things working or not working, I have and still am reading and researching to find the best or most stable Rom.. any help would be appreciated...
you should specify cdma or gsm
however you also need to consider it's all about perspective
currently im using viper rom for sense 4.0 (cdma)
however i like the senseless rom - SOS M - it's clean, it's fast, it's sense base without the sense bs

That information is in the first post of each rom thread. We are not going to list all the roms and their features for you. That's your job to find out.

Sorry I'm CDMA, have tried a lot of them I also like sos m, I'm curious as if any of the roms mess with signal strength some I've used put up great bars, and some seem to not get past a couple bars not sure weather its my phone or the roms, I have a do read a lot and all of the post, I just thought it be a good idea as a comparing guide that's all.. but I'm hboot 1.4 s-off, with the updated firm wear, I guess I was st asking more of what you guys like and is stable for a good daily driver.. didn't mean to offend anyone.
No I don't think you offended anyone, as there are alot of noobs on xda and after awhile you kind of get sick of the silly questions, that's all. Anyways roms are personal thing, some dudes like blondes, some like redheads(me), every rom has it's advantages and disadvantages , some work better on some peoples phones than others for many different reasons, I find a rom that I like and stay with it. Kernels is where it's at now, that makes a difference, my opinion
sent on my Evil Evo running the so called developers kernel
Yes I have seen the many repetitive questions, and its hard to read threw all of them, I've gotten to the point of were I'm pretty confident about roms witch I tend to change like underwear lol until I find one that works pretty good for what I need, I've started reading all about the kernels and what they do, but not sure if I'm ready to mess with those yet... So being my second phone in the evdo line witch I really miss my EVO 4g, am torn between the galaxy s3 n the new EVO LTE, I heard the Samsung is more developer friendly, but guess I gotta take a spin on them to see, I've noticed there's not a lot of love for the 3d... But thanks for the point in direction....
Just look through all the crap find a couple of good developers follow there work and you good to go

Hey guys I've had my DNA since launch weekend. I've become interested now that I've seen there are methods for S-OFF and then now return to stock methods.
I am fully stock with the most recent OTA update. So I need help in figuring out which methods of S-OFF are easiest as I know I've seen different requirements for each one and it seems they keep changing so I can't keep up with them.
Also with the ROM's, are there any fully complete ones that work 99.9999% with the phones features. I have used CM 10 on my Incredible 2. Any thoughts as to which ROM's to start out with?
I know I could search the $hit out of this, but I read into things too much and then just get frustrated when trying to find a ROM or a method and never pick something.
**********Update**********
I moonshined my phone this weekend, so now it's time to look at each of the ROM's that you guys mentioned! Thanks again for the help in this!!
I really would appreciate any help on the matter and I thank you in advance!!
NOS7 seems to be my most fav all around so far. Very complete
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
like viper Dna the best no bugs at all very smooth and you can have tweaks and customize it to your liking. Moonshine to achieve s off worked flawlessly for me and it can now be run on windows so it's very simple.

I personally think Revone method is the easiest way to get S-off .
If you want 99% bug free I would recommend NOS7
Moonshine -> TWRP -> Carbon -> Win
Sent from my Carbonized DNA
I'd probably suggest PAC or carbon. I'm on PAC right now, but next time I clean flash a rom, carbon is going on my phone.

I'd suggest not asking users as you will get a different answer from every single one of them. Research each ROM and make a decision based on what you want.
As for S-Off, both methods are insanely easy. Pick one and go with it.

I understand that different people will like different ROM's, but their suggestions do help with making a starting choice in figuring out which ones to give a shot first. I just tend to over research stuff and never making a choice as I can't decide which to pick. Sometimes it's easier to just start off with suggestions from others who have already done what I was trying to do.
Again thanks everyone for your inputs and suggestions! I'm going to research the methods for getting S-Off and pick one. I will most likely get this done this weekend.
If you are a fan of Sense 5 and okay with using android 4.1, then go for newt's NOS7 rom, it's essentially bug-free and super smooth.
If you're an AOSP kind of guy, I would highly suggest flyhalf's CM10.1 build paired with crpalmer's aosp kernel. Keep in mind that it is a WIP, so there is plenty of room for optimization, and some features (such as bluetooth audio) may not be working.. it is android 4.2.2, so you do have some features over 4.1, but it's whatever you prefer. There are more updates on CM based roms for the DNA because it is still generally new, and the developers are active on their respective roms.
I definitely would go with a Sense 5 Rom. I had nothing with problems with CyanogenMod on this phone. I take a lot of the talk of good things about it on this phone as circle jerking. I really had quite a few problems, even on the later versions that came out earlier this month.
Switched to NOS M7 and have had no problems what-so-ever.

As offensive as your post can be to developers, I do agree that a sense 5 ROM is most likely what the OP will enjoy using the most, and personally I also enjoyed NOS M7 quite a bit.

I wasnt trying to be offensive by any means. I understand the work that goes in to these roms and I appreciate it immensely. BUT I wanted to give this guy my most honest opinion from my experience. I don't want him to end up Rom swapping like mad if he doesn't have to, I've had zero problems with NOS M7. On Cyanogen I had force quits, bluetooth cutting in and out, wireless tether dropping constantly, now I have none of that.

No, you don't or you wouldn't call it circle jerking. Given the OPs requirements a sense 5 ROM, NOS M7 in particular would seem to best fit his requirements, which also seems to fit yours, no reason to talk like that about our work OR the users that support and enjoy it enough to recommend another user give it a try, even though they really don't meet the OPs stated needs in a ROM. Everyone has their opinion, especially on XDA, there's no reason to be insulting because you disagree with their ROM choice.
Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
Bad terminology, you're correct. It's been a looooooong day, and lots of work, lots of redditting, saw the term and used it. I should have re-read my post before I said I wasn't trying be insulting because that totally was. I'm sorry.

I personally used the Moonshine method. It was very simple. I already use a Linux distribution so my PCs OS wasn't an issue. Just run the exploit and, for me at least, everything went very smoothly. I tried out CM10.1, Revolt, Carbon, Rootbox (one of the earlier more buggy builds), and Hatka Supreme. I'm currently running CarbonROM (the 6/11 build) with stock kernel and am loving it! I've considered trying the latest build of Rootbox, but not sure if I want to go through the setup process again. Its all a matter at personal opinion, just my $0.02 USD!

+1 for NOS M7 haven't had a single issue with it. Only issues I have had are with mods or themes for it. Can't speak for an AOSP ROM as I haven't tried one yet. Also FYI I would recommend using crpalmer's kernel.
I'm in the same boat OP. I tried Viper's rom and it was too much of a change for me. I wasn't ready to ditch the stock (or a stock-like) interface yet. Been researching roms, but it's tough like mentioned earlier, b/c it's very subjective.
I just want everything to work, debloat, hotspot capabilities and some customization options. I like the stock look and I haven't had the phone long enough to tire of it just yet.
I've had a rooted phone before and I do get bored with things after a while, so I know I'll run through roms over the next time period before I buy a new phone. I want to get my mileage out of each one.
I tried to download Hatka (sp?) earlier today, but I guess it's unavailable atm.
Downloading Nos7 now. It's going EXTREMELY slow though. I even switched to wifi and still at 5% after 4 minutes.
