What ROM are you running and why?

Trying to decide which ROM to flash to among the many great ROMs out there. I was curious as to which ROMs ppl use and why?

I have not seen a real good review thread yet (I know there are some out there, but nothing from users as to why they picked the ROM they're running).

Need help deciding b/c I'd only like to flash once. Hard resetting after each flash would be a royal pain.

*Any Custom ROM* with SASHIMI (www.winmo-experts.com) will get rid of your 'which ROM should I flash to woes'. I'm currently using a custom ROM that I made and it is fast, stable and using all the software that I want it to. Check out ppckitchen.org and get cookin!

I have not heard of the SASHIMI yet. What the h**l is that? Did you cook your own ROM? As a noob, I'm quite impressed if you did.

SASHIMI is like UC (User customization) but a lot more user friendly IMHO. Check out the videos. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...FC86B36CB817D8

Yea, he probably did cook his own rom. The PPCKitchen is very user friendly. My first custom was a kitchen rom. Now I stick with mighty mike. I did a review on it yesterday actually, here...

MightyROM ALL THE WAY(: i'm currently using MightyROM5, wanted a change from TF3D and WM6.1 (MR5 Has it built in tho) loving WM6.5 tried other 6.5 ROMs and MR is the most stable and fastest I've tried, also if you are looking for a WM6.1 ROM go with MightyROM4.16 very stable and fast.

I'm considering the 4.16 ROM b/c I have been following the MR5 thread & it looks to me like its not as stable as the older one.
But if the MR5 does not use TF3D does it use a different type of screen that's like TF?

Re: What ROM are you running and why?

MightyROM5 for a few days now, seeing if it "works for me". I use Titanium rather than TF3D. It's growing on me, but I really wish I could make the font smaller so more things would show on the home screen.

What I really like about 6.5 is "dismiss all" notifications. That alone makes it worth the switch for me, as having to dismiss a missed call, voicemail, text, and email notification at the same time on 6.1 takes half an hour and makes me want to crawl in a dark hole in despair.

Pretty much everything else seems to work really well. The new start menu is growing on me, since it's a quick way to the apps list. Presumably as this stuff matures we'll be able to actually position apps where we want rather just than "move to top". I like the single-screen flick scrolling; no more overscroll.

Oh, and it's fast.

Thacounty's review is helpful, you should read it, though I disagree with the battery edit he posted recently. Mine is not a battery hog, so I suspect some rogue process (which has happened to me on EVERY WM device I have ever used at some point or another). Last week on the stock ROM my phone got really hot in my pocket, and when I finally noticed the battery had drained to 20% in about an hour. Same with memory leaks - I have never had a WM phone that didn't need basically a daily soft-reset to stay reliable. And I've used quite a handful of WM phones over the years.

Re: What ROM are you running and why?

I'm running Silence roms final 6.1 version.. Silence rom 9 was the best rom I've ran so far it had my battery lasting 2 days instead of 4 to 6 hours... so i figured i'd give the finale 6.1 version a try.. i think i'll go back to 9 untill some thing 6.5 that is strong comes my way.
