Help choosing a rom

zoolake · #1 (**permalink**) 11-25-2008, 10:26 PM

Hi guys,
I realise that the existence of a 'best' rom is a ridiculous concept as each rom has different strengths and weaknesses. I have researched a number of roms but just due to the sheer number of different ones I feel a little overwhelmed in my decision.

I was wondering if someone could help point me in the direction of a few roms that have good performance while for the most part having an interface similar to the stock rom. Thanks very much and I would just like to thank all the developers for giving us users such an overwhelming selection of quality roms

There is a "best". Grab the files from the "How-To: Kitchen" and roll your own ROM.

I see what you mean fr4nk1yn, but I was just wondering among those that are already in existence

Not to beat a dead horse, but this has been discussed SEVERAL times and each time it has been determined that there is no "best" rom.

I will give you the same advice I have posted in each of those threads. Try each of the roms for a day or even a few hours and you will soon find the one that is the best for you. It is a personal opinion. I have played with almost all of the ones in this forum, and decided that the "best" one for me, is one I cook myself......

Leanne, the first thing I said was that I realise there is no best rom....however, given the things i suggested are important to me, surely some roms do that better than others and I was simply trying to get some suggestions from those with a lot more experience than me.

Well if your looking for opinion zoolake, I'll try to describe a few....MightyRom's is excellent, his new update is really smooth and nice looking, cutting out unnecessary stuff and adding good, stable programs that are actually useful. Juicy's rom is very stable and very fast, and he tends to keep his close to "stock" as possible, so if your looking for customization that YOU want to personalise, Juicy makes his rom easy for that. Juggalo's rom is sheer personalization....it has extra tabs and backround on all tabs already installed, and all sprint crap removed. Also has great useful programs and I'm in love with the speed of the rom and sys....i'm currently using Juggalo's and pretty satisfied. Have not tried other roms so I cannot say anything about them. But I agree with leanne....just spend an hour or two flashing several roms and test out your preference. have fun.

Personally, I feel that all the major roms are pretty close performance wise and all of them that I can think of are pretty stock in appearance..... You will find the major difference between the roms is the included or removed software. Maybe read the change logs of each to see what is included and what programs are important to you.

That is how I decided to start cooking my own rom. I didn't want alot of the stuff that was included, and wanted some stuff that wasn't........
