Best User experience - G2 and Desire Z General

what i want to know is which rom has the best user experience

SEARCHHHHH PLEASEEEEEE.
Has been asked 100000000+ times.
There is no "best" user experience. Its purely based on your use case and your personal preferences.
Go to the dev section and look at popular ROMs. Download the ROMs you want to try, flash them and try them all one at a time. You'll find out which one you like the best. Make nandroid backups of each before switching so you can switch back if you like it.
You'll find out for yourself. NO ONE can tell you what YOU like better than YOU can.

i was looking for peoples opinions

But as I said, no one can tell you what you want. Just try them. There's no downside to trying a few popular ROMs and seeing which you like.
Even if you're just looking for general recommendations, just search the 100's of threads in which this has been asked, including ones on the VERY first page of this forum.

What rom runs the smoothest?
What music is the best? What art is the prettiest? It's really all about personal preference. The differences are really fairly aesthetic. Honestly. Good chefs make ROM's that all run fairly smooth. I prefer Elegancia. Some prefer Kumar's. Still others prefer Energy. Just try a few out, see what you like and make a choice for yourself lolol...
i vote poll

All the roms are good in different ways. The likes of one person is a dislike to another. It's all personal preference. Threads saying what rom is the "best" are not allowed and get closed because there is no "best". Just read the threads for each rom to find out what they are like, and try different ones out until you find one you like. There is little to no risk of you bricking your device. I've probably flashed phones 600-800 times over the last few years and have never bricked a device.

[Q] Favorite ROM?

Now that we're starting to see an increase in ROM development for the MT4G, which one is your favorite? I've tried every single one of them, and I can't figure out which one I like best for my MT4G. I previously owned a MT3G and only used CyanogenMod, but I'm not 100% sure if I like it for my MT4G. Well, I actually love it on my MT4G, but after playing around with HTC Sense (not T-Mobile's version) I've been switching back-and-forth between ROMs.
So, what's your favorite ROM? Here's the current available choices and I'm sure there will be more to choose from soon...
- CyanogenMod by Zinx Verituse
- Desire HD by eViL D:
- Desire Z by eVil D:
- Galaxy Sense Glacier by Gr8gorilla
- Ice Glacier by teamsilence
- MIUI by eViL D:
I can't decide between CyanogenMod and Iced Glacier. Can someone please compare the pros and cons of each? Thanks =]]
So far for me the Desire HD is my favorite rom, way better than espresso.

G1 had at least 1 post per day with "favorite rom" question. And every post had as many different answers as there were roms. You will not get far by doing this because everybody's favorite rom is different. Try them all and see what you like. Best rom is the one that works for you, not for me or some other random person.

I've tried them all so far. I'll always enjoy using CyanogenMod but have started enjoying the non-stock HTC Sense setup. My only intent with starting this thread was to see what others were enjoying the most. Nothing more, nothing less.

And again, everyone's perspective will differ. There are power-users such as myself and others, and then there are normal...average everyday users. There are personal and business users. Each person will have different apps, uses and requirements so no two devices will be alike. Hence, your thread is subjective and not objective.

Why would you want something someone else prefers? Do you follow other people? The best ROM is the one that YOU like best. The one that works best for YOU on YOUR device, not others.
It is sort of a stupid question if you think about it. If I told you that stock rocks, would that work for you? If I told you bricking your phone rocks, would you brick yours?
Way too many people ask questions without thinking about it in context first.
Try each one and go with the one that works best for you. There's your answer.
It's your phone. Make it yours.

Not sure why you think it's a stupid question, when today's society revolves around people's opinions. I'm guessing by your comments you don't participate on Facebook or Twitter, because those are social sites where people primarily communicate their opinions about things in their lives. I also suppose you don't enjoy watching the news, reading reviews about products and/or services, or anything else that is subjective. I value people's opinions. I know what I like and I know what I want, but hearing what others' think (in this case about MT4G ROMs) hold value to me as I may find other means for ROMs I didn't much prefer. Maybe I think I'm using the right ROM for my reasons, but perhaps there's another one out there I didn't try or didn't use long enough to see the value in it.
If you don't like opinions then leave this thread, because that's all I'm asking for here.

Actually, I have been a MOD in the Crackberry forums for around 6 years and have helped many members in Android Central's forums for quite a while as well. Yes I Facebook and Tweet. But the big difference is I surround myself with people who are more or less professional and experts in their respective fields. I don't go posting what I had for lunch or every time I sneeze either.
I am a professional. I relate to other professionals. I ask only when I've exhausted every other avenue. I share my opinions when asked for them. I give advice when asked for it.
What I don't do is ask others what their preferences are when it comes to something personal...like my phone or computer. The setup and apps and OS I use wouldn't work for others. The theme I use wouldn't work for someone else, and by someone doing what others do is simply copying them and not being creative or original.
Ask what you will. I fought so that others can say, ask and do what they want freely.
Edit: Now....back on topic. I am unsubscribing from this thread as I see no purpose in it. Good luck.

lol you think all this arguing is more productive then just saying what rom you prefer? But you made a good point, so what rom do you think is best for power-users, normal, and business?
Theres nothing wrong with giving your opinions and reasons to back it up.
i personally enjoy iced glacier because it comes pre-installed with the custom battery icon, and OC kernel.

Only good answer in this thread so far. What one person thinks is the best is not the same as what you think is the best. I don't know if there are 10 different ROMs available, but you could ask 10 people the same thing and get 10 different answers, so the only option is to try everything and go from there.

Strongly disagree. These are the worst answers usually spit out by those who are enthusiasts, developers or lifeless fanboys. For the rest of us who dont always have the time to flash rom after rom testing and sorting out issues then resetting up each Rom while learning the differences and quirks we ask for opinions on what Roms are working for others. Yeah Yeah Yeah, in a perfect world it would be best if we could try each and every Rom then decide which one is best but the world is not perfect and peoples schedules vary which can make things difficult for many to do just that. Besides by the time youve gone through the process of installing and testing various roms some get updated and a new one pops up. Now What?
I know many of you think this question is annoying so if thats the case dont answer. Chances are most of those who come here asking the question know that ideally they should try a bunch of different Roms but for one reason or another cant. They are looking for a starting point, or a narrowed down group to test based off recommendations.
I also disagree with the 10 people 10 different answers thing. Im willing to bet the farm (Because I dont have one) That if 10 people try AOKP JB atleast 8 will like it. Because its damn near perfect.
Ive been around here for awhile now and have used this site as a tool to deal with quite a few different devices now and on every device I have been helped or saved time finding the perfect Rom in part due to threads just like this.
Thats the end of my rant and in no way do I mean any disrespect but the only thing wrong with threads like this is too many of you miss the opportunity to make these threads better by providing good solid user feedback.

Well if the OP used the search button maybe he would find countless threads and answers from "lifeless fanboys" , Kinda gets boring giving every new user a run down of each ROM. So here is a post in a thread by me, made hours before on the same day , in the same forum asking the same thing. May even help If the OP actually said what Tab was involved, My crystal ball is not what it used to be
AOKP build 4 , much more control over the ROM than say CM9/10. You choose what you want and how you want it. AOKP is more suited to the tab IMO as CyanogenMod has to cater for much more devices. Constant builds and updates. Id say AOKP is for advanced users
If you like to twiddle with your devices thats the ROM for you.If you dont , then go for CM10.
If your not that bothered go for AOSP Loads of ROMs to choose from , no way of saying the "best" as it dosent exist. Its a personal choice and to be honest they are all pretty much the samething, just some slighty more customisable than others.
If you want a "Stock" experience go for anything that "RomsWell" builds as its generally stable and all the bloat/crap has been removed.
Search the forums for your specific device and check out the official threads for each ROM. If you don't know what to do ASK in the threads and people will help you out no problems as we are all mostly friendly and helpful to each other.
First thing you should be thinking about is do you want "root" access ( full control over the ROM) ? Search for your device and make sure you understand what's to be done and you have to correct tools to do it. Read it again, you be surprised how many people mess it up and then make posts for help lol.
Once you are more confident with Android , try all the ROMs out , wont cost you a penny and you can see for yourself then but say good bye to your warranty as it will be void as soon as you mess with your tab. If you read up on things you wont have any problems at all.
Good luck and have fun.

By your logic, this thread is still pointless then. You can go to the development section, look at the threads, and find the most popular ROM and flash it then. While you may not like it, why should I waste my time typing a response when someone can find the most popular ROMs fairly easy by just going and looking at pageviews and number of responses for ROMs in the development section? If people want user feedback, go read different ROM threads.
Maybe people don't have time to flash everything, but how long does it take to figure out you don't like a ROM? Like 2-3 hrs at most, maybe a day or two? You could take a day or two, flash 5-6 ROMs and find out what you like best. Something new comes along, make a backup, test the new ROM, see how it compares. Big feature or change comes to a ROM you didn't like before, try it out again. Get some free time and looking for something to do, flash a ROM you haven't used before. While you may think it's inconceivable to test everything, you can sample a decent majority of the stuff out there quite easily.
Personally, I don't want AOKP, though I have never tried it, and I even moved away from CM10. I don't need 90% of the stuff that is added into them, so why would I use them? I'm guessing that most people don't even use half of the stuff available in the ROMs they flash, they just flash and use them more as a "me too" mentality when they could just find a minimal ROM that has only the features they need and use, and with AOSP, it isn't that hard to find something like that. The other reason people hate threads like this is that every new user seems to think that they deserve to have their own thread asking the same question.

Oh Yeah thats exactly what their thinking. Those selfish bastards How dare they ask a question. How dare they in essence take a current poll of the most popular Rom. How dare they disturb what would otherwise be a very neat and organized way to archive information on Android mods and roms. The OP isnt asking you anyways. Hes asking people who are willing to give a response worth posting. I guess ive become more tolerant of threads like this simply because to the newbie this place can be overwhelming. Also even the experienced can get a little overwhelmed when moving to a different device. Its only natural to ask questions and whether or not they seem like worthwhile questions to you doesnt matter. Leave it up to the mods to decide.
Besides just think about how many newbs didnt post this because there was already one on the first page. Lighten up. I learned alot from this site and all because someone before me was tolerant of my newb status.

By being tolerant of duplicate threads asking the same question over and over, you promote the same behavior in the future. If one ROM was popular yesterday, three days ago, last week, etc., do you really think the opinion on what is the best will change that much over the short amount of time? Doubtful. In that case, why is it so hard to just find the previous thread and read it? If you don't like the answer, bump it and ask for newer opinions. Maybe, just maybe, you can spend 20 minutes just reading through ROM threads in the development section and do the research yourself too, since users tend to put opinions in the thread of the ROM, and you'll also get a sense of recent issues.
I am very tolerant of anyone, not just new people, that tries to help themselves first by searching and reading first and posting second. I don't think it's too much to ask for someone to do their own research and form their own opinion on what is best for them. If you really want someone else to tell you what is the best, go buy an iPhone or iPad, otherwise, people need to stop being lazy and do the work on their own. Maybe if everyone didn't expect everything to be handed to them all the time and actually worked a little bit, the world would be a better place.
Lol....seems we might need a "what's the best "best Rom thread" thread to read" post....
I'm just saying, I've always wondered why people don't trend to just look at dev section and take note of which thread is most active, which ROM seems to have most posts on its thread lately, and use that as a starting point for "best rom". Since the threads with the most activity is most likely going to be the same users chiming in to say "Try XX ROM it's the best!"
Either way, no matter how many of these threads i see, it never gets old reading all the posts in these threads of people arguing back and forth about why the thread is or isn't necessary. quite entertaining sometimes how much people get their panties in a bunch over this lol.
What the OP and the person who claims they don't have time to flash roms is missing. Is that there is no best ROM for everyone. If you don't have the time and don't want to learn then why did you root? Stock is the best ROM for people who don't like to experiment.

Sorry but best ROM, best kernel, best tweak, etc threads are typically not allowed. Everyone uses their device differently and somethings are always more important to some people than to others. A "major" bug for someone might be lack of bluetooth connectivity, while other users don't really care. Often times this leads to pointless debates and arguments. The best thing to do is read the OPs and the last couple of pages in the ROM threads and then try out the ones that look "best" to you...it is fun!

Best custom ROM?

I would like to flash a ROM any suggestions and good guides I should use?
best is too much to ask. there are none that are better than any other....
it is 110% user preference, so read thru the threads... figure out what features you want and then compare what is "best" foe you
I agree with the above post its mainly user preference as to which one you should pick as different ROMs have different features. I would also suggest checking out the PH1 Telegram group as well since you will find not only help with flashing and other problems you may encounter. You will also find other things which you may like including some ROMs not posted on xda. The link for it if your interested is https://t.me/EssentialPH1DEV
