Now I know this is largely an opinion based question but figured I'd get some good feedback. I am a former incredible owner and with the incredible I had MANY choices of ROMs that were all fast, great battery improvements and completely stable. I was a huge fan of CM7 on the incredible. I finally just rooted my Thunderbolt and am looking for the same. I just want a ROM that is stable, decent speed and with better battery life. So far I flashed a sense 3.5 ROM (InfectedROM) and it is has many bugs, little bit better battery and actually feels slower than stock. CM7 says it is still in beta so I have been reluctant to try it. Does anybody have any advice on the most solid ROM out there for the Thunderbolt? Thank you

Any BAMF ROM. They are almost completely bug free, smooth, and offer better battery life over stock. CM7, even though it's not officially supported yet, doesn't have too many bugs. The battery life, in my opinion, just doesn't match up to Sense ROMs.
One piece of advice I'll give you for better battery life. Don't overclock. It just isn't necessary. The phone is fast enough at 1GHz, and you won't see too much of a change overclocking, just worse battery life. (Benchmark scores are meaningless. They do not reflect every day performance)
What kind of mAh drain do you experience on bamf roms? I stay between 15-25 on CM7 with the screen off and peak between 150-350 with screen on. BT is always on, as well as GPS. (Never use wifi, so can't speak on that) Oh, and I just Juice defender, before JD I would average 35-40. Sync mail with imap every 15 and exchange on push. Underclocked with screen off to 360 and run 1024 with screen on. I don't OC unless I'm plugged in. Then its only 1209.
I'll also cast a vot for Team BAMF. I am on BAMF forever 1.10 and I flashed the devs beta 3++ kernel build after because I saw a bit of lag with the stock kernel. You absolutely need to remember to wipe before flashing the rom, though. I neglected to and the lockscreen didn't even work.

I never dropped below 30% battery using bamf in months, I'm a huge fan. It took a lot for me to drain it down low.

Never had any problems with CM7 via protekk's builds. Run fast and smooth, and get great battery life. Plus it's clean so I don't have to worry about washing my hands after using it
Skyraider 1.3. Gives the best balance of htc sense functionality, battery life, customizations, and speed. I would stay away from sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms. They initially seem smooth; however in everyday use they will lag on you. The phone is just not designed for 3.0/3.5 sense. The 2.1/3.0 hybrid roms work well which is what the skyraider 1.3 rom is. If you don't like sense, then run CM 7.1.1 or Liquid Smooth 3.2. The non-sense roms will be a little faster, but I like the widgets that come with sense.
Update: Forgot MIUI rom. Very nice if you like the apple-esk look and feel. Very smooth.
BAMF forever 1.1
How do i find the BAMF forever 1.1 rom. When I use ROM mamanger I only see 1.0.5
Another vote for SkyRaider Zeus 1.3.
Near perfect for me.
Miui tons of customization very good batt life and very smooth
Sent from my HTC Mecha using XDA App
BAMF roms are probably the most stable roms and I tried most of them already I even bricked my phone a couple of times trying all the roms and so far I'm sticking with this ROM called thunder stick 3d
I've tried Bamf Forever, SkyRaider, SoaB, MIUI and Gingeritis 3D.
My vote out of all 3 is Gingeritis! Battery life has been a ton better than the Bamf roms and MIUI I only liked on my Droid X. Wasn't a fan on my T'Bolt.
Liquid Gingerbread 3.2
Liquid's AOSP 3.2 is by far the best rom I've used, it's based on CM7, which is technically still a beta, but I think that's just because the official support on the CM website is slated for CM9, I have no issues with Liquid 3.2 and I tend to be picky about dealing with bugs, and battery life is good the way it comes, better than Sense based roms, and you can configure the kernel for batterysaver which makes it even better.
[ROM-STOCK-605.9] iKReaM.What.Thee.ROM.605.9-R3Ds this rom is legit but if someone could tell me what that clock is and how get it i would greatly appreciate it
I used CM7.1 most of the time but switch to a BAMF Sense 3.0 ROM on Thursday nights (and sometimes Sunday and Monday night) to watch NFL Mobile. They are both nice, but Sense 3.0 has some stupid issues, like lack of landscape mode, lower volume by default, dodgy Bluetooth support, etc, it's enough to make you want to get rid of it.
I have th3oryrom - ics
I vote for th3ory, i like that it is non htc sense. And this one is a ics look/feel rom. This is a link to dhacker29's rom (http://th3oryrom.com/ROMS/SHIFTAO5P_IC3.2.1.zip );and although it is 2.3.7 android it still seems like you're using ics. the only bug i have found is flash keeps crapping out. there's a thread i found (non t-bolt related) that i found where going to adjust (remove all) permissions fixes this but which folder i do not remember.
You won't get many votes for this b/c the developer isn't going to update it (at least i don't think) b/c they have moved on to another phone.
EDIT: i did a search for you if you're inclined to dnld this rom. in the Q&A bolt forum there is one i located that path on your phone you may need to find using root explorer to run flash. "/data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data" after this path go to permissions on this file and deselect all check marks.
Google Music
it is an awesome rom but since CLEAN flashing this rom, ive had issues streaming my music from google, it sucks, i read other people having this problem as well so i tried the various fixes i found and to no avail, its a deal breaker for me cuz i wanna listen to the music i paid for. im gonna try SHIFT AO5P n see if it produces some positive results, if not, im going back to INFECTEDROM. I WANT MY GOOGLE MUSICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!!!

What is the smoothest sense 3.0 rom?
And when i say smooth i mean no lag, no stutter, no glitches, no nothing, just a smooth, as you would have liked it rom.
Some ppl say rom's are smooth and i find them to be laggy, for instance (no offence Lee) Leedroid's rom is laggy, but everything works!
Need a rom which works and is smooth as butter, like coredroid on the sensation.
Quickest rom i've ever seen, frame rate is ridiculous.
Any suggestions???
Blackend is pretty smooth but I only switch between EVOZone and blackened, haven't tried anything outside of those two

i was like you until i found out about this rom
sense 3.0
super smooth, just like sense 3.5 smooth
Thanks for replying, I should have said, GSM only, as i'm in the UK.
i'm loving warm rom right now. i'm on cdma, but they have a gsm version. hasn't been updated in a while, but latest nightly is amazing.
---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------
i should probably try out eternity though.... so hard to theme but i hear its great
Hmmm, Eternity 3.0 isnt compatible with GSM? I know the 3.5 one is.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A
I too would very much like a smooth 3.0 ROM. Obv would prefer sense 3.5 but I find there are too many bugs. Unfortunately I'm on gsm so there are not much options at the mo. Starting to wish I got a sensation (even with the lack of 1gb RAM)
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA Premium
Warm TwoPointThree might be your best bet. It is also pretty smooth, but not quite as good as Eternity. You can however remove some of the 3D effect on the Rosie and make it just 2D and that makes it more smooth, the option to do that is in Warm Tweaks. Eternity also has the same thing in the same place called Eternity Tweaks.
I have the same problem looking for a smooth and stable GSM rom...and all sense 3.5 seem to have something not working.
Isn't the GSM version of InfectedROM Eternity a nightly sense 3.5 build? I tried it 2 days ago, battery went from 95% to 13% in 4-5 hours of stand by...and it wasn't system tunners fault.

The lack of ram isn't all that much in all honesty, 768MB is more than enough for the rom's that we're running.
Plus the amount of attention the sensation gets is staggering when you compare it to the 3vo, i too wish i would have got the XE, it's a stellar handset, at stock it's good, put ICS on it and it's blazing.
However, don't know the 3vo too much, if the right dev's pop over to this then i can see the evo being a beast, it's got the hardware, it's got 3d which not many phones can boast, it's also got a decent battery and nice screen too, plus i've dropped mine i dont' know how many times and it just bounces
ANYWAY, back to the rom, up until now, probably King Cobra is the best, although once i have all my apps installed and the rom has settled a bit, it's a bit clunky. Everything does work though, and it's themeable, which is always nice.
Wish we had coredroid man, crazy rom that on sense 3.

Yea i tried warm rom quite a while ago and i seem to remember getting fc's, can't remember exactly what for, i might check it out.
I miss sense 3 plus i've never played a 3d game on my phone.
Sense 4 is where it's at tho, such a nice interface.

It is a nightly yea, which means that older releases are sometimes better than the newer ones, tried a few, but documentation on whats been good and whats not involves sifting through the many pages which make up the thread, not a bad rom tho.
Best batter life i was getting was with Mikrunny 1.11, got nearly two days on med - low usage clocked @ 1.18Ghz, no need for any more as it's smooth, it's just ur missing features like 3d gaming and it's not got a theme besides Phikal's which isn't complete, still a good theme tho.
As the title states, which ROM is your daily driver and why?
i've just made the jump from toast's cm7.1 to joelz's aosp ics. the only thing that's missing is a working camera. i can live without that for now. certainly not a deal breaker for me.
Joelz ics +1 here, pretty awesome, would like that camera working, but that's the only real issue I have with it. Had some trouble flashing it, but once I did a factory wipe, it was all butter after that...

Same here Joelz ics. I don't use the camera much
Visit my site http://goo.gl/rqoVI
CleanROM. I use bluetooth phone and especially a2dp audio everyday. Once those are working I may jump to whatever ics rom has those working.
MIUI is mine, for the amazingly long battery life and low resource usage with incredible smoothness. I dont have 4G in my area so losing that is no big deal and I dont care about 3D in the slightest, the one thing I miss though is the Amaze camera port and a working ZSL kernel. Cant get that on AOSP but the loss of it is not enough to make me switch on a daily basis. Stability seems far better on MIUI too compared to any Sense ROM I have tried.
So in Summary:
I can get over 3 days battery life on MIUI
Stability is better
Smoother
Less resources
All games work (dont graphical glitch and crash phone)
Blackend rom with American metal theme

I'm saying it because according to Joelz "not working" list, A2DP doesn't work. If that's wrong then he should probably update it and I'd probably load it up.

The best Sense 3.5 ROM out there. Other ROMs have this gimmik, that non-working "feature". But in the end, you can't beat a swift, stable, fully-functional ROM with 40h+ battery life.
As for the kernel I use anthrax, the "unspeakable" one .
Yeah, as the title says. I stopped using this AWESOME phone because I now have an LG optimus G. However, I wanna use this phone as a portable gaming device (might get gameklip/ps3 controller) because I know there's a lot of awesome emulators out there. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me take advantage of this phone's power in terms of performance for gaming? Batterywise, I don't mind if it can only last like 5 hours of straight gaming or even less.
1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have (CDMA/GSM, Evo 3D, Evo V, Evo 4G+) - EVO 3D GSM
2. What ROM are you currently running? King Cobra ICS
3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF? S-OFF
4. What is important to you in a ROM (features, customization, performance, battery life, etc.)? Gaming Performance, Music Quality and maybe some decent battery life.
5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host? ??? don't get this question
6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that. - Don't mind, but I like the Senseless look
7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM. - Would like ICS, or Jelly Bean but I prefer performance over this.
8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera. - Wifi Tether
+ kernel suggestions and any add-ons that will improve my phone's performance is greatly appreciated.
PS. I don't mind if I can't play games in SUPER HIGH QUALITY as long there's no lag.

1. EVO 3D GSM

3. S-OFF
4. First and foremost battery, performance, music performance and gaming performance
5. Yes. Latest Anryl kernel, overclocked to 1,5GHz and undervolted
6. I personally prefer AOSP (CyanogenMod), but since the battery life and gaming performance is not that great at this moment, I stick to stock ICS. Apart from that, CM beats Sense on all fronts.
7. Some may argue Gingerbread is best for gaming, but I highly doubt that. IMO stock ICS is the best gaming ROM at the moment, until the devs improve the 3D performance in their CM10 ROMs.
8. Must-have features: everything besides 3D and Wi-Fi tethering. Those are not important to me.

Viper is pretty fast, at least on cdma phones it is.
Honestly not every one phone is the same, you are better off trying a multitude of configurations. Grab 5 different roms and 3 different kernels and try them all! A good game to test with is GTA III.

Yes, well, for me at least.
The title pretty much says everything. What should I do?
The reason I've stuck with the stock rom is;
- Beats (The actual HTC one, also present in all audio and toggle when watching video)
- May receive updates (see below)
- HTC's Camera
- Seems to be the most stable
However, I also want these;
- Good battery life (Which stock rom is just, awful at doing)
- Slightly faster performance (It's fast already but you do get some delay with actions, mainly cause of HTC's junk.)
- Android 4.2.1, mainly for the expandable notifications really, I'm fed up of having to pinch them all the time.
- CPU Limits (underclocking)
HTC still haven't given us the 4.2 update yet. They're absolutely awful at giving them. My Wildfire S got updated to 2.3.5 in Jan '12, long after better Android Systems. If I had the 4.2 update, I wouldn't be contemplating this. Samsung are way better at the updates. HTC need to take a leaf out of their book.
A custom HTC rom is my first choice but I have a feeling the battery will still be awful. CM10.1 is a good option but feels so innocent, and the HTC look has kind of been imprinted on my head.
I'm using the stock rom, rooted and customized a bit(still need to deodex it though). At any rate, I'm having pretty good luck with it thus far, now that it's tweaked a little.
That being said, there are some good options in the roms section that are pretty much all reported to help battery life, performance, etc. Elegancia seems to be really popular at the moment so you might check that one out.
And of course, patience is also key here, in that as time passes more devs will probably get one, more roms will come out, etc. Hope that helps.
hey
Hey im using the viper xl+ rom and it has everything you have mentioned.
Its Stable
Has HTC camera
and is very very stable.
You should give it a try.
If you need anything I could help with the kernal flashing and adb.

I would definitely go with the Viper XL ROM from Venom. It has been absolutely amazing. Performance is top notch, battery is top notch. Hats off to them. Really amazing rom.
Well considering how old this is I assume you already made a decision. That said if you are still looking I would go with Elegancia. The only other rom I tried was venom/viper and my experience was a train wreck. The rom was slow, had a tendency to need rebooted quite often and even after 2 weeks of cycles the batter was poor. Not to mention the force closes and the amount of utilities that seemed useless.
I put a custom rom on my phone out the box. I love ViperX+!

I agree on Elegancia. It looks stock, no ui changes, the pull down menu is stock (unlike viper has too many options in the pull down) no bloatware (for me no AT&T crap) it's rooted and ready to be used. Tried Viper roms for about a day and my OCD was going crazy with so many options. I like it to be clean and simple also it doesn't have a carrier or author boot sounds or images (my stock ROM had an annoying at&t noise and carrier logo and viper had its own boot logo of a cobra and said Viper)

You can customize Viper in any way. If you don´t wanna have so much options, you can delete some of them. The Tweaks give you the ability, to change all in the way you like. That´s the freedom of Android Phones and Viper increases the possibilities.
Would love to run one of aosp, aokp or cm roms but the poor audio is off-putting. I appreciate this is a problem with HTC not releasing the drivers, but for now it keeps me on a stock based rom. I like the clean look of the sense-less Jellybean roms, the low and tinny speaker volume is a little off-putting.

The Venom ROM is nice. Im just waiting for them to fix the volume rocker mod so I can change songs in Pandora without unlocking the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098218
Lloir is working a CM10 AOSP ROM and the audio appears fine. The only tinny audio issue I had was with the HTC Inspire and that issue went away with JB ROMs.
I used viper xl on my old ATT HOX for what seems like forever. My single most favorite ROM I have ever flashed, next to CM7 on an inspire 4g. But truth be told I'm very happy with the stock roms performance, I deleted all the bloatware and crap i dont use and its performance and battery life are above average, im very satisfied. The only thing I'd change is the factory battery icon (id like to see actual percentage), and id like to have a landscape mode on the home screen.
stock ROM is stable and fast for sure but Custom ROM's have just some extra options and thats all. I am using ARHD from mike. Loves it !

Did you ever use the Volume rockers to skip tracks on songs when the screen was off with this ROM?
Viper X + 1.0.3
So I have the Viper X + 1.0.3 Rom on my device and have to say: these are worlds between the stock ROM and the Viper X +.
It's fast, absolutely smooth, battery friendly and the support is great.
Again and again

The reason I've stuck with the stock rom is;
- Beats (The actual HTC one, also present in all audio and toggle when watching video)
- May receive updates (see below)
- HTC's Camera
- Seems to be the most stable
However, I also want these;
- Good battery life (Which stock rom is just, awful at doing)
- Slightly faster performance (It's fast already but you do get some delay with actions, mainly cause of HTC's junk.)
- Android 4.2.1, mainly for the expandable notifications really, I'm fed up of having to pinch them all the time.
- CPU Limits (underclocking)

- Beats gives U more options with custom mods -> please See Elegancia Rom or ViperX one ore Lyapota mod alone for any custom rom
- Same updates with same interface with ViperX rom! but much more and better updates
- HTC camera - what the difference? again U can use some useful mods if U want or not as U wish
- Luckily Great devs took care on HOX+. You can rely on Venom Team, Elegancia, Insert Coin, ARHD for sure!

Android 4.2.1 only without Sense for now. If you choose rom not based on stock base then it couldn't be as stable because of many drivers which developers don't have from HTC
