Hey guys. I was wondering which ROM you guys use and why.
+1 for ZR3D
I tend to bounce back and fourth from MeanROM and ZR3D. I like the theming that ZR3D has, but no matter how much I play with the DSP settings, the sound (for me) sounds overly gained and poppy.
I am currently back to MeanROM.
Mean Rom is unbeatable for me. Fast, stable and great battery life. Its constantly getting updates and dev always avail to answer questions. What else could you ask for?
Lol
Both roms are different..
It really depends on what a user wants outta a rom..
But both guys offer great support .. Steal and dashed14 and dropzone I know I didn't spell his user name right srry.. Drop..
You just gotta try things out pick what makes ya happy lol..
yeah i think ill try out mean rom. but i may try zr3d as well. ughhh u know what, im gonna install both and see what i like best.

I use ZR3D and its smooth and fast. Only lag I see is scrolling in SMS list. Haven't tried meanrom lately but when I tried it a few weeks ago sense was choppy. With Chad's kernel ZR3D is even smoother. Might try meanrom tonight again and ill post my opinion afterwards.
Video of ZR3D with anthrax @1118 ghtz. I recommend watching it in YouTube app. Less video stutter
I never liked mean rom. I don't k.ow why, but it felt too stock and laggy and the battery life was nowhere near what other users claimed it to be. I like ZR3D but the battery on that was just as bad sad it was on mean rom, but at least it felt smooth. I'd recommend for you to try eternity, noctural adrenaline, and android revolution hd. All of these are buttery smooth with great battery life. Out of those though, eternity is my favorite.
What are you using to oc/uc? Also what theme? Thanks.
i have tried every rom for evo 3d cdma 10 times over.. for me mean rom with chads kernel is top notch.. super fast.. battery life is like none other and the support is great!!!!! roms run differnt on differnt phones.. a rom that runs good for me mite not for someone else... feel me

Finally got to try Meanrom again and it looks like it comes with Anthrax kernel 882. But even with that, sense was still choppy. Also it doesnt seem to have leedroids tweak which can help enhance sense and status bar. Everything looks pretty stock on it with bloat removed. I'm not knocking his rom as a lot of people love it. But my preference goes to ZR3D for its smoothness (even with stock kernel), along with the inclusion of leedroids tweak, and several eye candy but not overly done. But in the end you will be the best judge so just try them both and see for yourself and as someone suggested, try other roms as well. Its as easy as making a nandroid backup and try each rom without redoing your data just yet and just play with it for a few minutes. A lot of times thats all you need to see if its the rom for you. All the devs work hard in making their rom special to them and to others so make sure you support them by making a small donation. I dont know what I would do if I had no choice but to be stuck using HTC stock rom. That would really suck! lol.

New zr3d update to 1.7. This ones all stock no OC and stock kernel. For those providing input it would help the OP if you can point out the goods in each rom that you might like.
thanks azn. because of that video i might actually give that rom a try now lol. not that i was being biased, just have too much going on right now to be a flash whore. thanks for the video brother.

This is more of a question that will result in an answer that's an opinion. But I am wondering and completely open to ideas. I have used XPLOD and Eternity. But there's tons of Roms out there so I'm wondering which one would be good.
If you could please list the Rom a link and specifications.

Exactly. You will find so many people that like Variable 'X' ROM, and other's that love Variable 'Y' ROM.
There are so many great ROMs out there. It's up to you when it comes to your favorite. Just try keep trying different ones until you find one that you love.
I love viperROM, MikRunny, InfectedROM Eternity, Warm TwoPointThree, MIUI. That's not every one of my favorites, but those are some.

I am about to do my first root and am looking for a ROM. I have learned that there are MANY different ROMs out there depending on what you want. Is there a known database of ROMs listing each of their attributes?
Thanks
AOSP PB9 from Deck. All working except Camera, 4G nad 3D. HW is about 90%, Wifi, 3G, BT, all is working very good. OC up to 1.94 ghz. Good ROM to try
Sense: inbREDed ROM is smooth and fast, MeanROM is another one. Both have all stuff working without problems. MeanROM is more stock look while inbREDed is a fully themed ROM, ledroid tweaks, 2 MPx in front forced. Also, OP is working on 1080p recording

The two ROMs I use:
Mean ROM: everything works. Uses the Ziggy kernel which is stable with great battery life. Very active dev (new release every few days) and very active user community. Has Beats working without the headphone hiss. This ROM looks mainly stock with some addons included or flashable.
Nocturnal Adrenaline: everything works. Uses the Anthrax kernel which is slightly worse on battery, but a little better in performance. Active dev (new releases about once every week or two) and active community of users. Less stock look since Leedroid tweaks are built in and some of the widgets and apps are inverted.
I flashed version a 2.2 ZR3D rom and it is great. Really sped my phone up!

X2. I am not new to rooting, but just recently finally rooted my Evo3D. Tried several different ROMs. I found that Mean ROM was very stable, very quick and snappy, everything works, and very active dev, as stated before. Many that use Mean are changing to the Anthrax kernel to go even faster, but the Ziggy kernel that comes stock on the ROM works great, and is a huge improvement over stock.
I AM looking forward to an ICS ROM that has everything working. Every time I try a ROM with something as a know issue not working, I think it will be no big deal to do without. Then I find that is the feature I miss the most. So I choose to stay with fully functional ROMs. Just my opinion...

I installed these two ROMs due to popular demand but my experience has been less than satisfactory. Both ROMs are fairly laggy for me, especially when pulling down the status bar and sometimes when scrolling. I installed dodava's 5.4 on MeanROM but it didn't help. MeanROM ICS is noticeably faster for me but still has a few issues that gingerbread ROMs don't have. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

MeanRom has always worked very well for me on both GB and ICS. You're probably find resolutions to the issues you've been having if you post in their specific threads.
People will always have their opinions and admittedly I'm just a noob but try out different ROMs and see what's best for you.
You'll find there's plenty of friendly and helpful people to be found whatever you choose. Good Luck!
MeanROM (I'm on 1.2) is running pretty smooth for me.
I was tempted to try MikVirgin (often very realiable developer too) but since there is nothing wrong with MeanRom I could not justify trying it out (yet).
I need to keep me flash-a-holism in check.
Ditto. Pretty laggy and jittery for the first couple uses but after a couple reboots it's been great.
What ICS mod is considered the current leader? I'm looking to flash my phone with one, but I'm not even sure what Rom to begin with.

Mwakious has the biggest fanbase right now and can be considered as a good dev with a good rom, though I'm not quite happy with the battery drainage when the screen is on. Somebody else was complaining about the same issue, but again, every phone reacts differently, so maybe you won't even have that issue ukno..

Most of the roms have both cores enabled which will cause that battery issue.
IMO if you're going to go with an ICS ROM, Cool ICS is the best. No dual core nonsense, the right amount of tweaks, and just a good normal ROM.

Ugh not again.
First we need to know if you are GSM or CDMA.
And second, there is no "best" rom. All roms are created differently, for people with different wants and needs. And every rom will run differently on every phone. So just flash one, try it out for a day or two, and if you don't like it, try another.

Since your location says Boise, I'm guessing CDMA on Sprint. I personally like ZR3dX as my daily driver (see my signature). As others have said, I recommend that you try some out and find the one you like best.

Don't know if you were leaving it open to all, but I'll answer anyway. Rom is great, but in an effort to increase performance, the battery life isn't there for me. I think Mikey was in the process of balancing battery and performance when the lte came out. Since he is waiting until the ota to update, I'll try it again then.

I am using the mikey's meanrom v2.4 and it has been real stable. I also used the zr3 rom, but it did not have polaris office build into it, and I needed that since I get emails with documents attached. Didn't see any reason to purchase something that is in the mean rom. The zr3 rom is more customized, where meanrom appears to be more stock to me, but that is just my opinion.
I had no performance issues with either.
Have fun!

You can copy the Polaris app from Mean to Zr3dx. I think all you have to do is take the apk, copy it to system/app, change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

IMHO CleanROM is a pretty strong competitor in the basic ICS Rom dept. If you want to enrich your Rez experience, move on to a sense 4 ROM
There are several out there. My favorite happens to be Newt's One xXx . YOu can find it on the Developer forum...along with the others!
Conrom or viper rez. You could make a cleanrom type rom yourself pretty easily with the right know-how
Been using neomax adrenaline for the past week or so and really like it. Had been on cleanrom for several months but since it wasn't being updated any more I decided to s-off and move on. Really like adrenaline, and to me it seems like the most like cleanrom.

Nils' rom, con rom, are 2 great ones. Personally I like newts one XxX and Joelz's viper rom. I'd try each one for about 3 days each to let the battery stats configure, and to let the system set in. A lot of times people write a device off for having terrible battery life, even though they tested it for like a day. *cough* *cough* the verge. Love the site, but they need to test for like 4 days.

NeoMax: Adrenaline, it's a de-sensed, stripped down, fast as all hell ROM. It may actually be the best ROM that I've used in the 9 months I've had the Rezound, no joke. If you want a non-barebones ROM the regular NeoMax should be just as fast but I can't attest to that personally.
