[G2 and Desire Z General] nagash91:
My review are based on comparison with original HTC sense ROM from HTC, updated to gingerbread and sense 2.1.

I give the vote "7" to all features in standard DZ rom (stability obviously = 10) and from that I started to make comparison with other roms.

MY VOTE SYSTEM:

- battery life = .. well.. battery life of the phone using the ROM !

- reactivity = response capabilities in any situation. Vote down if there is some lag in some standard situation (make a call, listening miusic while sending sms or looking in contacts and so on). This is very important in some extreme situation, for example when you are late and you have to do something with your phone, like check some information by a site and text a friend in a short time, you are under pressure and if your phone does not have a good response you go mad.

- multitasking = capabilities of using a lot of services and heavy programs switching from one to another without lags (more free ram = more multitasking capabilities)

- functionality = useful and cool stuff that the rom provides. For example CM provides a lot of useful stuffs like power menù widget customizable, power menù statusbar, DSP Manager, font size editable (with spare parts), mms phone and contacts apks customizable, volume-buttons-skip-song function and so on.

- stability = The vote is 10 if the rom is STABLE. The vote falls if the rom suffers of random reboot, or force closes.

STOCK HTC SENSE GingerBread (DZ Shipping Rom updated)

Good sense rom. Standard on dz.

battery life: 7

reactivity: 7

multitasking: 7

functionality: 7

stability: 10

based: sense 2.1

Android: 2.3.??? (don't remember)

-------------------------------

CM Nightly 263

Great rom for functionality, thanks to cm team, but there are some CM based rom more optimized than original CM!

But this is a great rom, all is working, you do not need to personalize, hack or flashing nothing else over rom and google apps for optimum results.

battery life:	8

reactivity:	8

multitasking: 8

functionality:	9

stability: 10

based:	cyanogenMod

android:	2.3.7

----------------------------

EliteMod 1111227

Excellent ROM: Is the cyanogenMod based ROM that I LOVE. Have more battery life than cm nightly/7.1, more free ram (-> more multitasking ability) and more reactivity.

It has also the MIUI camera that I love.

If you are looking to CM features and TMobile AOSP lightness, this rom is for you!

I don't like the graphic personalization in launcher pro, but it can be edited easily.

battery life:	8.5

reactivity: 8.5

multitasking:	9

functionality:	9+

stability: 10

based:	cyanogenMod

android:	2.3.7

------------------------------

ILWT CM/ 258

Great ROM for customization

The votes do not have much validity with this rom, because I changed the original settings using virtuous OC daemon and other stuffs.

BTW I was using ILWT kernel.

This rom is the CM rom that allows you to customize everything easily, with a simple text file. It has also a new kernel by ILWT.

battery life:	8

reattività:	8+

multitasking:	8+

functionality:	9+

stability: 10

CUSTOMIZABLE

based:	cyanogenMod

android:	2.3.7

------------------------------

GLite 2.0.1

The BEST ROM with standard android GUI (no HTC customization), but suffers from a lack of features! (because it is standard AOSP android, so no power widget menù, no personalization in mms / telephone / contacts /camera apks.. ecc..)

It is the lightest ROM, the best for battery life, the best for multitasking that I have ever seen!

battery life:	9

reactivity:	9

multitasking: 9.5

functionality: 5

stability: 10

based:	TMOBILE AOSP

android:	2.3.4

------------------------------

Mini MI 1.12.23

Good MIUI rom! better than original MIUI rom because is lighter and have more functionality.

MIUI roms don't have good capabilities for multitasking.. the program are heavy for ram consumption, for example only the music program use more than 20mb of ram vs 10 of AOSP roms. BTW the programs have beautiful visuals, and have more functionalities than CM programs.

battery life:	7

reactivity:	7

multitasking: 6.5

functionality: 9+

stability: 9

based:	MIUI 11.12.23

android:	2.3.7

For now it's all. I have tried a lot of other roms (sense based) but I have to decide the votes and what to write. I'll put in some days.

( I'll treat the physical appearance of the thread in the future, if people like this idea! ) :D
