I am coming over from Tmobile...I have had the Nexus 1, G2, Mytouch4g, and G2x all rooted with custom roms. I see the Thunderbold has a ton of Gingerbread ROMS...Any advice?? Pro's/Con's???
wow, guess there is not that many Thunderbolt folks here....Over in the G2x forums Q's get answered pretty quick...
You're not getting responses because there are a zillion threads like this already. Just read the rom features, look at the screenshots & pick one. If it fits your style, stick with it. If not, try another. Your first step should be deciding if you want Sense or no Sense, then go from there.

I don't run GB because of the buggyness of it, but you GBRemix seems to be a good choice.

then you might want to go a froyo route. Das BAMF remix is very popular. I'm running the stripped (non-sense) version right now.
Then go with a Froyo-based rom. More battery & less bugs

Hi to all my friends in Optimus Community
in the last 2 weeks we faced great updates both from in official and custom ROM in our hands
but for me i just confused which one is better
for example i'm looking for more battery and choose official
another one prefer performance then choose Custom ROM
but for a normal user who want both performance and good battery life which one do you guys think is better ?

I use the custom ROM and not even bothered about flashing the official one. Custom ROMs give you lot of flexibility to fully utilize your phone's potential. And there is a community to support it. It just gets better and better.
I would prefer official ver..as its bug free nd with great battery backup..
I'm using the official one for the time being, will switch to the custom ones soon.
CM7 by mik works great for me with better battery life, more stability and even fast
vote for CM7 by mik.
hopefully he can released his custom rom base on official rom
Devoid forever and devoid froyo final. Both are great seriously

Obviously choose what's best:custom rom
If I got to choose, I'd pick something like void. or devoid.: very close to standard with all crud chopped off. With the addition of a very well developed kernel (FF?) that would be pure bliss.

Just doing a poll here to help new GS2 users decide what rom they will choose as well as converting users like me to newer roms.
So have a vote, what rom do you use on your Galaxy S II and go on don't be lazy tell us why you like it so much and how its different from everything else out there.
Im on Darky Rom2, My friend has Darky's on his SGS I and so when i got my SGS II i thought I would take a peak, I find it stable and smooth, but lacking in features other roms have
Stock just working brilliant with good battery live and very very stable

Oh don't get me wrong I love it otherwise I would of swapped, but with some other roms you get theme chooser, Callrec and a few other intergrated things that aren't available in Darky's, doesnt make it a bad rom though.
CM7, because it's one of 2 ROM's that supports the PS3 controller. All the other ROM's will eventually nick parts of it anyway so I may as well get the features direct from the source.
Stock, rooted.
Debating something different, but want to be armed with more knowledge first. Most important criteria for me are: battery life, stability, ALL phone functionality retained, and lastly aesthetics, something about blue system colours sings to me.
I'm on cockrom v8.2. I like it because it's hardcore.
Thanks for the helpful thread btw, really original.
Sensation rom because its beautiful. However I do find stock is most stable.
I'm very happy with the performance and stability of the stock ROM, more than I ever imagined. TouchWiz 4.0 is actually very, very fast, IMO.
I've tried other launchers... even paid versions... and I still think that TW performs wonderfully fast and fluidly on the Galaxy S II. It seems that Samsung really did something right here. So, while I love the fact that the devs are always working on new stuff, I'll trade stability for the bleeding edge these days.
My 2 cents.
Cognition 1.5.1 - fast, stable and battery-friendly.
Miui for me at the moment, fantastic ROM. However with the BT not working I will probably be going back to stock until thats fixed. Really need BT to work.

I'm using cognition 1.5.1, I like this rom the most because its decent on battery life, stable, and stock looking, besides the added power menu (reboot, download, and recovery), and added drop down menu allows for data on/off.
I am using check rom v2....and the battery life and stability is excellent so far. The dev answers all questions, and after trying ALL the others available, i find this is my personal favourite.
The full screen contact pictures when making a call are great and checks ram script make this a wonderfully smooth rom.....i recommend to anyone.
Surprised to see that u dont have gingermod rom listed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220283
Its the best of both worlds. Has the ASOP looks and u can add any stock feature that u want.
I am an asop rom person and with this rom there are no deficiencies.
Cognition here as well: close to stock with all the right mods to make it a smooth and battery friendly experience. I also enjoyed using Sensation very much.
Have been using Cognition since I got my sgs2 and it is wonderful rom. Like the above poster has said it is close to stock and better.
Did anyone try both of 2 roms? I am now running official Ics rom. I don't think HTC will offer JB update. So I would like try custom rom. I am only interested in miui&cm10. If anyone could advise me, I am very appreciate.
Thanks

At this point : MIUI. This rom is pretty much perfect in every aspect. Cm10 still has issues and battery life can't even be compared.
I'm eagerly waiting for a fully functional cm Rom myself, but even then it will be tough to switch over from MIUI. And I LOVE cm.
Edit : oh, you mean the jb-test version of Miui? Well, since it is based on Agraben's cm10, it will have the same issues, so it probably doesn't matter what you choose

I used to run cm7.1 on my nook color and I love it. It looks like that JB rom is still waiting for further development. I think I shall still use stock rom until the stable rom shows.
BTW, what is current Miui rom based on? Ics?

Hahaha, nice to see another (former?) NC-owner around here:laugh:
I gave cm9 another try just yesterday, since they finally got hardware acceleration and flash working. CM7 was a rock solid rom and still is, with almost immortal battery-life. So I'll likely switch back if the tinyest thing annoys me

I used MIUI for all of 30 minutes earlier today and I was actually impressed with what I used. The ROM was sense based, but had most of the cool MIUI stuff anyway.
Cyanogenmod seems to bee the least flashy AOSP ROM I've used, besides default AOSP maybe. MIUI was flashy and fun, but unintrusive. I'd consider using it as a daily ROM.

It's really hard to compare battery life of Android devices, especially of older Android devices, to Apple products.
Of course, many Android devices are actually starting to catch up and the Kindle Fire HD actually gives the iPad's battery a run for its money. Personally, my year-old Kindle Fire actually gets really good battery life with the JB ROM I'm using.
Hey everyone, I'm kind of new to flashing roms and I want to know which Rom works better on sense 5 on the HTC One. What advantages these two have?

Trickdroid has a lot of features, tweaks and so on, revolution is closer to stock. Both are great from what I hear. Just the devs may do different things. Flash both to see which you prefer

I tried android revolution hd and I love it. I think I'm gonna stick with it.
I've been running ARHD for the last couple days and I have to say that surprisingly enough, the AT&T stock ROM seems faster (as in: more responsive) to me.
Any other thoughts on this? I'd also like to add in the Renovate ROM to the discussion as well.
I'm running trickdroid and I like it much better. I have used ARHD as a daily driver too so my opinion comes with experience in both ROMs, it is still obviously an opinion, buy I prefer to customize and tweak my ROMs... You might as well stick to stock if you're gonna go with ARHD since it is just an optimised stock. If you're looking for custom, trickdroid is the way to go...

I've been running ARHD the past few hours, and so far I agree 100% with your views on it. It's a stable, responsive and clean ROM though.
I installed ARHD 7.1 today and the only niggle I have is that voice dialing on Bluetooth is not as good - different voice and different procedure.
I really like renovate. You download the ROM once on your phone and with any update, it just downloads the changed files. You can do all this on your phone. Have never seen anything like this before. It is not all automatic though, you have to enter some commands in terminal emulator. It also has NFC on when phone is off, so I don't have to turn the phone on to have it read tectiles.
so I have been using this ROM called Maximus7 5.0.0 for sense 5 and I absolutely love it. In my opinion it is the closest to stock ROM from the other Roms that I have tried out so far. It also let's you do OTA updates.

As I said... it is an OPTIMIZED stock. But nonetheless a stock experience. If customization is what someone is looking for, trickdroid is the way to go.

I agree. There are some updates in the newest International base that aren't in the AT&T stock base tho. That's what I meant mostly.

I've been playing with the AT&T install of ARHD 9.0 for a few days (haven't had the chance to upgrade to 9.1 yet). My impression is that it's a bit faster than stock (not sure by how much, but feels "zippier" to me).
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the Sense UI so a ROM like this which provides a "fairly close to stock experience" was what I was looking for. It's not perfect (I understand that the WiFi password issue was fixed in 9.1 though), but it's very good. The only little thing that I haven't been able to find in 9.0 as of yet is the LinkedIn Blinkfeed connector... I know that Blinkfeed isn't something that everybody necessarily loves, but I do find it handy to have something to look at when waiting in line for a few minutes or even glancing at the screen when stopped at a red light. (Any suggestions on what I need to do to get the LinkedIn connector up and running again would be appreciated.)
Just out of curiousity, I also downloaded TrickDroid and have been waiting to try it out. Maybe I'll install that today and play around with it for a bit too, now that ARHD has set the standard for me and can be used as a point of reference.
