1.) Which of the three main ROM types (AOSP, MIUI, Sense) do you use on a daily basis?

Sense

2.) Which of the three main ROM types is the best looking?

SenseHD - integrated functionality, copy/paste function, themes and other HTC stock apps make a for a great overall experience

3.) Which of the three main ROM types is the most stable?

SenseHD A2SD tend to be the most stable for me but not sure about performance degradation over time as I usually move on to try the next release before performance hits a snag

4.) Are there any apps you use which don't work on a particular type of ROM?

None that I know of

5.) Is there anything that bothers you about any of the main ROM types?

MIUI

: performance regarding force closes is a hit or miss. If flash works well then no FCs but if something goes awfully wrong then the intermittent FCs are the most annoying thing I have experienced and at the most inopportune of times e.g just when an incoming call is about to be picked up

AOSP

: I love the minimalist approach of AOSP, the stability and the speed but inspite of all the great themes available I think AOSP ROMs tend to ugly. The lack of integration of some common functionality (e.g. as is Sense UI which will show SMS, mail, tweets for the same contact) is a definite downside. Thenn the hard-coded dialer means inspite of all the theming you can do the dialer still remains bland and totally unusable (no T9 search function!). Concept is great but it basically means you now have to find third-party apps all over Market to replace/mimic the fiunctionality that you're so used to having as default in SenseUI.

==APPS==

The following questions are based around app preferences and usage. If you use the stock app (such as the stock Dialer or Messaging app), please state so.

6.) What Dialer do you use?

Sense dialer or GO Dialer

7.) What Messaging app do you use?

HTC Messaging or GO SMS

8.) What Browser do you use?

Dolphin HD

9.) What Launcher do you use?

LauncherPro Plus in all (MIUI, Sense and AOSP)

10.) Do you use some form of Battery saver (such as Juice Defender)?

Tasker with an auto sync, screen, netwrok data switch profile. Plug in my phone intermittently to sync/install some app and so do not actually time the battery life off AC/USB plug in

11.) Do you customize your notifications (LED and tone), or just leave them as default?

Yes I customize them using SayMyName and LEDColour...

12.) What is your favourite (or are your favourites) widgets and why?

Widgetoid; Fancy Widget v1.0.3 (the last awesome version - every subsequent version doesn't compare with the weather display!)

Additional Comments:

- Internet calling on Gingerbread ROMs just never works for me despite tweaking my SIP settings

- I can't wait to try out new SenseUI on a ROM (Saga) where most of the stuff works (Wifi, bluetooth, camera etc etc)

Also, I would like to use Rosie with only one screen, but for some reason this isn't possible, which is why I use Zeam instead.

==ROM TYPES==

The following are questions based on ROM preference.

1.) Which of the three main ROM types (AOSP, MIUI, Sense) do you use on a daily basis?

Whatever I try, it seems I always go back to AdamG's wonderfully clean and nonbloated oxygen (aosp)

2.) Which of the three main ROM types is the best looking?

I dont like bloated ROMs, so AOSP or MIUI (though the iPhone menu-style is a pity on MIUI)

3.) Which of the three main ROM types is the most stable?

Untill now I've never had problems with "stable releases" of any kind. Sense seems to get some odd hangs, MIUI and AOSP doesn't really do so.

4.) Are there any apps you use whichdon't work on a particular type of ROM?

Not really, I've managed to get it working with all types of ROMs so far.

5.) Is there anything that bothers you about any of the main ROM types?

Bloat bloat and more bloat. Why people puts their names in dropdown notification menu, I still don't understand.

==APPS==

The following questions are based around app preferences and usage. If you use the stock app (such as the stock Dialer or Messaging app), please state so.

6.) What Dialer do you use?

Currently using Dialer2 (t9-integration)

7.) What Messaging app do you use?

Stock whatever ROM I'm on.

8.) What Browser do you use?

Stock or Miren.

9.) What Launcher do you use?

Always Launcherpro plus

10.) Do you use some form of Battery saver (such as Juice Defender)?

None (it's like using anti-ageing cream)

11.) Do you customize your notifications (LED and tone), or just leave them as default?

Only sound, and "Always vibrate"

12.) What is your favourite (or are your favourites) widgets and why?

Non specifically.
[Desire Android Development] brandall:
1.) Which of the three main ROM types (AOSP, MIUI, Sense) do you use on a daily basis?

AOSP

2.) Which of the three main ROM types is the best looking?

Sense. Plus the additional people/contact/facebook app tops it off. Damn it being such a battery drain for me...

3.) Which of the three main ROM types is the most stable?

My experience is AOSP

4.) Are there any apps you use which don't work on a particular type of ROM?

None that I use - unless you include all of the apps where features don't work correctly on 2.3.3

5.) Is there anything that bothers you about any of the main ROM types?

Not overly... they all have pro's and con's and I enjoy flitting between them!

==APPS==

The following questions are based around app preferences and usage. If you use the stock app (such as the stock Dialer or Messaging app), please state so.

6.) What Dialer do you use?

Stock

7.) What Messaging app do you use?

Stock

8.) What Browser do you use?

Stock

9.) What Launcher do you use?

Launcher Pro

10.) Do you use some form of Battery saver (such as Juice Defender)?

Tasker (for many reasons)

Bloat Freeze

SystemPanel (Amazing app for a bargain price)

Went from the frustration of 8 hours max to almost two days usage.

11.) Do you customize your notifications (LED and tone), or just leave them as default?

Yes - via Tasker (although I haven't got it to work completely correctly just yet!)

12.) What is your favourite (or are your favourites) widgets and why?

WP7 Wallpaper (which really is a widget... sort of) - minimalist

Smooth Calendar - minimalist

Circle Battery Widget - minimalist

I avoid all other widgets to preserve my battery. I'd be lost without the doc swipe actions of Launcher Pro which perform 15 of my most needed tasks/actions when I need them.

Additional Comments:

I wish a naked to the bone AOSP ROM would be released that I could add only the applications/apks I require. I'm currently reading up on how to remove what I don't want from a ROM before I flash, but it's slow progress!

Battery Life is rather sadly the most important thing to me in any ROM. I wish it wasn't and I would bloat the hell out of my desire running every sense compatible widget ever made updating every nano-second....
