Discuss your favorite roms. I've had a bit of trouble choosing between sense and nonsense personally. Currently running Deck's cm10.1 build, but switching to MeanBean every few days. There's pros and cons to both roms naturally.
My overall favorite is Tranquility by Bad Seed Customs of course just because of its flawless smooth opperation and dependability. Along with the Bad Seed teams wilingness to assist when ever they can. Favorite AOKP would be Team Hydra's Wild for the night CM 10.1 for pretty much the same reasons. Up and coming tho is joeyfettucini's Opperation JellyBean, really nice rom, very well made.

Operation jellybean. It looks sick and has an awesome volume output plus the awesome support is a plus

For Sense I agree on Tranquility, I ran it on ICS and JB. Second place is MeanBean on JB side. For AOKP I've run most of them, and I'm digging Rootbox for how much control you have. And, just as fast and smooth as CM 10.1.
I also like Tranquility, I am looking forward to their next update. I am currently running Operation Jelly Bean, which is a solid themed ROM. And I also like Viper4G. The amount of customization you can do with that ROM is great.
I'm loving rom ch3fs slim bean. Lots of features and smooth as butter.

I'm surprised! Up unti lthis point, I'd thought MeanBean was the most popular ROM around, but I think I'll be trying Tranquility now... Question, is multitasking here still HTC's sense version, or has it been fixed? That's always been my deciding point when flashing Sense based roms.
Tranquility for me is tops and tied for 2nd are mean and viper, IMO

Hi. first of all I just want to say that I'm a big admirer of XDA forums I've been following the forums for quite some time on various phones but I'm not very active in posts / replies due to my inexperience.
I'm sick of AT&T taking forever to give us ICS and I'm not willing to wait just to get a whole bunch of bloatware and the same old touchwiz. I've come across two good roms: Onlyone and Objection. I'm kind of leaning towards Objection because It's giving me two UI options: Android 4 and the new Touchwiz, but from the replies I got the impression that Onlyone is more stable. Are there any ROMS that use the official ICS code released by Samsung or not yet?
Here are my main concerns: battery life, ROM stability and speed, and of course the good additions like updated touchwiz, S-voice, etc.
Try them all and see which you like best. Nobody can tell you which is best, because that is purely opinion based. There aren't that many, so just learn how to use titanium backup so switching between roms doesn't take too long.

Thanks for the replies. I'll definately utilize titanium backup and I'll look into The collective Mesosphere with nova and zoom zoom =)

Are you running tablet or phone mode?
If you prefer the unmodified, pure Android experience that you would get on a Nexus device, you can come close with a CyanogenMod based ROM. These are my personal favorites as they are practically bloat-free and don't have any carrier/manufacturer customizations. The downside on the Note is that there is no S-Note/S-Memo. Hopefully the CM devs will get these apps to work eventually, but the S-Pen does work.
If you like the TouchWiz interface then try one of the TW/ICS leak based ROMs such as OnlyOne. That was the first ICS ROM I tried and I liked it, but overall I prefer CM9.
you can try those ROMs from this guy - flappjaxxx. They are the unofficial CM9 ROM and UCLE2 stock-base ROM. They are really solid, stable, daily drivers and supported well by the awesome developer. These roms get very good comments from XDA-users.
I've tried every single rom.
for CM9- I'd use Mesosphere the rest were pretty unstable.
For Ucle2 + S-pen functionality i'd use FJ's Build. Onlyone was laggy for me.

This is like asking what beer should I drink or who is the best Golden Girl. Everyone is going to have different answers and you really need to try some and find your favorite.
That being said I am a big fan of flappjaxxx's UCLE2 rom.
My recommendation is to go with the Unofficial build of CM9 by h0tw1r3.
Nothing beats the cleanliness of AOSP, and the added features that Cyanogen throws in are well worth it.
I have been running it since he released the first build and it is extremely stable. And thanks to CalcProgrammer1, it was just updated and we may even see nightly builds.
Thanks Calc!

so what ROM in general do you think iss the best? IE: fastest and most perty.
and what is the best Sense 4 ROM?
im runing SebastianFM kernel, so i would like it to be compatible with that or the cubed kernel. eaither one
My personal preferences:
Smoothest 3.6 Rom: Vigor360
Most stable sense 4 Rom, Vexxum
If you can't live without the tweaks app, then innefabilis for 3.6 and VenomRom for sense 4.
All of those are compatible with the appropriate DSB kernel version

is there and offical JB with sense 4 or higher out yet? or a better q will be "will there be an offical one out"?
No JB with sense for as far as I know. Will we get one in the future, I'm not sure what the devs would need to make one.

i wonder if htc & verizon are gonna push it out to thr rezound..... i heard JB was insanely fast!
something tells me CM9's smoothness is going to be the same as any jellybean rom
everything has been pretty much instantaneous (considering the animations are off)
there is newt's latest endeavor, sense 4.5; fast and smooth but probably a few more kinks to poke out
i've personally been using neo's rage rom ^^
What instability's do the AOSP roms have? Is everything working ok.
Just try the ROMs out. It's the best way to know, and it encourages our devs when they have a lot of downloads and interest in their threads. It keeps the development community alive, and us enriched as a result. Everybody's preferences, phones, and outcomes are different. They're all pretty great, and none of them are duds.

I agree since it's only has a few noticeable differences and features. double speed would be like android 5.x assuming compatibility and handful of other variables
I had been using neomax 2.0, the I tried neo's rage and liked it, then I tried neo's aokp and it's the best thing ever. So many customization options and I haven't had any major issues. Super fast.
Sent from my HTC Rezound using xda app-developers app
AOKP is awesome and fast as hell, but its kind of unstable. CM9 is a little better. Sense ROMs can't match the speed and the level of customization that AOSP ROMs have.

Hey i am going to pick up a dna soon..im waiting for the employee edition thursday! I am going to unlock and root over the weekend. I am coming from the nexus world and pure aosp which is my preference. However with the nexus 4 being gsm only i have to pursue other options...
I know we dont know if the dna will ever have any pure aosp roms but ill take that risk. I know there are only about 3 roms available currently..i want to try one that is stable....what are your experiences thus far? And what do you recommend? Not a fan of sense but i dont mind them. Thanks in advance

the closest thing to ASOP, right now is Genome 2.0. Its not quite ASOP but its pretty close because it doesn't have sense.
If you wan't sense i recommend CODIS ROM, as its very smooth and stable.
I know ASOP will eventually come on this phone because i know a few people trying to work on it now

I second Genome for the closest ASOP style rom. However I prefer UKB's Rom if you like sense. It seemed more stable on my phone and there are more sense/ukb mods out there than senseless ones. All the roms pretty much though have the same options right now within the os.
sent from my rooted DNA
FWIW, I'm perfectly happy with running stock and a couple of mods. It's zippy and rock solid.
This is the only phone that I was content to run stock for awhile. I've had the DINC2, and rezound before this. IMO this phone is a beast but like others I had that itch and tried nits and now I'm on CODIS. So I recommend CODIS if you want to keep sense.

cyanogenmod 10.1.... just wait 8 months or so.
genome is a great choice ,for me i have the dna and gnex on my dna i would want a fast smooth sense with asop sms,broswer and ema
then akop
but for now genome is a very nice rom
just make sure when you load that rom also install the keyboard toggle zip
UKB. Right now I'm surprisingly enjoying Sense. Back when I had my Galaxy Nexus I would have told somebody else who said that that makes no sense (tehe)

i can say that most of the rom out there with enuf good feedback are very good
also with a bit of modding it can be better
based stock roms are most stable around
the ported roms that i can say near perfect are joel and suli really good coding and work done there maybe there more i didnt tried
MIUI suli's rom is very stable and fast that i tried for now
cm9 is kinda stable but not perfect
AOSP CM10 didnt have yet enuf experience
[ROM][CDMA/GSM][JB-4.2.2] Official XenonHD - RC [05.23.13][LINARO 13.04]
Been running so smooth. Unbelievable battery life. Not one reboot or lockup.
Surprisingly enough my absolute favorite rom of all-time:
For the Rezound:
Xtreme Outcast's v3.0 - The ORIGINAL desensed rom. Runs so much like an AOSP rom but you can tell it's desensed. For those who wish to try it (Use Go SMS/Handcent for texts)
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390077933525140703
For a different device:
Tied between Steel Droid & Sourcery for the Moto Droid1 (sholes)
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/steel-droid/
http://teamsourcery.com/moto-droid-1/
PS: Yes I do still use the OG from time to time
So a good buddy over on chargeforums is sending me his old rezound with the Infection Rom on it. What do you guys think of it? The Charge has two Roms currently, and one coming, but the devs were limited due to how Samsung locked the ril (Radio Interface Layer) which prevented the devs from getting any sort of netutils and limiting what could be done.
HTC on the other hand, didn't, so I'm pretty excited to see what all you guys have. I may start asking questions once I get the phone, but for now I just wanted to see what you all thought if the Rom.

My Rezound has been on CM9 most of its life, and I just can't find anything else that even compares.

Sense 3.5; even though i liked that ROM. Still didn't stand out for me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
if it was for any device. i would say Redemption Rom for the incredible. On the rezound i would have to say its CM10.1
Ineffabilis Deus v1.2
I always landed back on it after trying every other ROM until CM10.1 Its almost a year old and every bit as good as it was the day it dropped.
Neo's INFECTION is great. Previously I would say version 2.3, but my favorite has to be his 2.6 Inverted Dev Edition.
Well I finally have the phone, and it came loaded with Infection 2.3 which I immediately upgraded to 2.6. I'm loving this phone! I haven't tried any other Roms or kernels yet though. I know this is probably asked a lot but, if all the big ROMs are AOSP based, how are they different? I cave from a phone with two ROMs and both had pretty big differences. Is it just the tweaks, or are there major differences that I just didn't see while reading through them?

Everyone has different preferences, so you will get any number of different opinions
Yeah you just have to try it man I'd personal try like slim bean or carbon may jelly beer those are all soils choices and they are more option loaded then cm10.1. Just as stable as well

Agreed with what everyone else said, just try it out. You'll get 100s of different opinions. I've tried both and continue to bounce back and forth between the two. They are both phenomenal ROMs with very talented developers.
Viper has full features (otg + mhl) I had trouble with those on cm. But cm is a lot leaner... They definitely both have pros and cons

Depending on which Rom you use I've noticed aosp is snappier where it matters but has it drawbacks as far as widgets goes. Viper is the best sense Rom IMO. Always the best customizations and amazing support. I'm torn at times which one to run day to day but I usually stick with the least problematic. Aosp for DNA has some kinks to iron out so I'm holding out for that.

Unfortunately, I've had nothing but trouble with the Viper ROM. Absolutely LOVE it, but my 4G almost never worked, and I constantly lost all connectivity altogether randomly. Moved to Cm10.1 and haven't had any issues yet. I miss Viper though.
