[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
I actually enjoy these types of threads because it keeps us users on our toes. At the same time, if the Dev's browse these threads, perhaps they'll be able to compare their featureset with another ROM's featureset. That being said, here is my opinion if you haven't already chosen a ROM yet.

Sense: I LOVE SenseUI. The native Facebook integration, intelligent dialer and the host of intuitive widgets is great to have. It is THE go-to ROM if you want a plug-and-play ROM. Setup time is minimal and though Sense does take up more resources than say CM, AOSP-based or MIUI, it is the tradeoff you make to have convenience. My SenseUI recommendation would be Virtuous Sense 2.0 hands down. Doubleshot and Expresso ports are nice but they're not true SenseUI. SenseUI 3.0 (i.e. Virtuous Unity, etc...) is nice but you need to sacrifice more than system resources to run that properly (i.e. if you have the G2, you need to convert to the DesireZ HBOOT; might have to OC more to get SenseUI 3.0 to run smoother, etc...).

AOSP: I ran AOSP based ROM's in the past and the best advantage is SPEED. A typical AOSP ROM is about 1/3 the size of the equivalent SenseUI ROM so you'll have tons of space to hold your apps and other stuff. AOSP is nice if you have a specific app to use for your different types of integration. My recommendation for AOSP based ROMs would be either CM7 (Haven't used before) or Virtuous G-Lite (Used and loved). The only reason I left AOSP (for now) is because I want the Facebook and other types of integration and convenience that SenseUI offers in one package rather than find equivalent apps to do the same thing.

MIUI: Think of this as AOSP with an iPhone-esque skin; easily customizable from a UI standpoint. This makes sense because MIUI stands for "My UI" according to my research. Alot of the features in the various MIUI builds are similar to that of AOSP ROMs just with added UI customizeability. Each flavor does add or subtract some features, but the baseline experience should be similar throughout. My recommendation for MIUI would be the Official MIUI build for the DesireZ/G2 from MIUI.us.

It seems that you understand (surprising that many don't) that whether you like or dislike a ROM is completely personal. Myself, for example, love to have SenseUI. Others will swear profanity at SenseUI and kick my arse for loving it. I hope you can find the ROM that suits you!

EDIT: Added links for your convenience.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swinderz:
I agree with everything you stated, ad I have tried all ROMs uve stated. I also love sense ui and features hence stuck to virtuous sense 2.0. If it wasnt for that i would straight head to miui as it then be customized to my demand.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
hmm stock pre-rooted ota works great for me and fast! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
I'll post some pictures in the dev section about my bugs. I hope its something easy to fix because so far is the fastest rom I've tried.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Snipe175:
Been trying to find a ROM that lasts the whole day, and not even g-lite lasted me more than 12 hours. Not sure why since all I do is text, run on edge all the time, below 50% brightness, no background data.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LeaderOfThePack:
I tried these ones from virtuous 'cause I like Sense much. But... they had same "feature", after few days and software updates I started to get force closes from acore and gapps and couldn't use UI/phone at all. Even rebooting to recovery was pain in the ass. I tried factoryreset and even re-install on top of old one without wipe, but didn't help. CM7 going strong and steady now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I hate to be repetitious, but as long as these "best ROM" threads keep popping up, I'll keep saying it. OP mentions "favorite ROM" in the body of his post, but "best ROM" in the title. Really, "favorite" is a better terms, as there is no "best" ROM. Everyone has different needs, tastes, and preferences. Calling one "best" or "better" than others is an insult to the generous devs who work so hard making these ROMs for us.

There's no USB tethering for Ace . You could use hotspot tethering though . :p

Don't believe that's been worked out yet point the ace. it it's possible on other droids I believe.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] setya5785:
yup, it work on mine :)

just use it few days ago when i had problem with my net.

just tick USB tethering while ace is connected to your PC, and you'll get net on your PC, without even setting anything.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Dexxmor:
I tethers only because I have no other access to the internet. I use the usb tether, and it works. I even loaded the roms on my ace down

wifi tether app

On your phone in wireless and network settings look for

Tethering and portable hotspots enable/check usb tethering use must also enable USB debugging, then install this app below you will be able to detect your pc/laptop from your phone. And on your pc/laptop will see Android NDIS network.

You will have to put your own settings in example ip address gateway etc.

I have NOT made this to work Yet, but both my phone and laptop can see each other. so it it a setting/config. Some one somewhere did mention it might be MTU settings I cant remember where I saw this but we are going too far now.

Does anyone know how to make boot animations for miui? I have the zip that would normally work however I know that doesn't work in miui and miui uses mtz. Can you simply rename it or is there a harder process
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lazerax:
Gonna bump this 'cuz I have the same issue....anyone have an answer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] YoungSinema:
You can just replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you have. Just open the .mtz using 7zip and replace the bootanimation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lazerax:
Tried that, but I can't get it to work....is there anything else it could be?

CM7 is the best hands down
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Personally recommend CM7, though if you want different, go for MIUI, as it is the most noticeably different rom.

This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 92percentEric:
I just rooted for the first time and have tried Evo Deck, CM7 and Synergy. Not a fan of Sense, and Evo Deck seems like a shaved down version of CM7 (haven't found any info on how they are truly different)....so Evo Deck for me. AOSP regardless.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff-co:
Were you using Synergy+GodMode, or just Synergy? Curious - which ROM has had the smoothest UI in your experience? I do rather like Sense, but it seems pretty choppy at time, though I haven't played with much else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
It comes down to opinion. If you are a fan of sense you have good options. Though they are usually very heavy on ram and space.

If you have never tried AOSP, give it a whirl. The customization, speed and small size is unbeatable. There are apps galore that can replace stuff from sense that you may like.

And now for my soap box... SalvageMod is the best hands down. My phone had never run better. On top of that they have both sense and AOSP versions. If that's not enough, the genius devs have two different kernels to choose from, Freedom and Chop Suey, both for sense.

I have been an AOSP guy for a while, can't get away from it. Cm7 and decks are both excellent, but SalvageMod is strictly unparalleled, IMO.

I would switch to Salvage sense but there hasn't been enough development on it yet and can't match the features of AOSP.

PS, with all the talk about God mode around, SalvageMod AOSP runs smoother for me than synergy + God mode.

That's my rant

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralSky2004:
I used all of them over time. For AOSP, I think CM7 is where its at. They have everything working and wonderful battery life with custom kernels and such. MIUI is sweet, but no 4G. They do have sweet themes though.

As for Sense, I range Synergy and it was okay. I prefer the full sense 3.0 instead of the 2.x 3.0 merge. I used Kinged Kingdom for a while, and it was super smooth with the kernel set properly and V6 applied. I'm currently on the E3D Shooter port, by Kinged and GruesomeWolf and its running well too. Be sure you partition your SD card before hand and you won't have space issues. They have A2SD baked in, which will automatically move apps to your partitioned space on the SD card, leaving you plenty of internal space. Updates rather frequently too, which is something I enjoy.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] rajko34:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
If you delete User Data then all the stuff on your phone would be deleted and it would make the phone go to the state it was when you bought it. Your contacts, messges, settings etc would be removed. Do not do factory reset unless you know what you are doing.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rajko34:
"Factory reset" the phone back to factory condition, but I'm interested in what is deleted using "Delete UserData"
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
It will delete all your settings, contacts, messages, etc. Your applications which you installed will be left untouched.

I am thinking of changing the file to match either my Droid Eris or a Nexus S. Or even a tablet?
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Not sure I understand exactly what you're asking, but the build.prop is in /system. Sounds like you would want to change the build fingerprint, but you need to look at the one from your phone to make sure you know what to change it to.

I tried that but there are 2 flies located in the system folder, one that says build, and another that says build prop. The Nook Color does not have that second folder so I do not know what to change to change the fingerprint of the device.
