Best Custom Rom at the moment?

**boweveljoe** · 03-25-2011, 12:19 PM

I have been using Liberty 1.5 and it has been getting sluggish a lot lately. To the point where it drags and then reboots.

I have tried reinstalling it fresh but within a few days it continues this.

What are you guys using? What has been updated recently? Any recommendations?

**digitalslacker** · 03-25-2011, 12:43 PM

try rubiX, it's fast...some say the fastest...
it's an AOSP rom

**boweveljoe** · 03-25-2011, 01:30 PM

Just downloaded rubix 2.0. Any other suggestions?

**SuperChargedJ** · 03-25-2011, 08:23 PM

Besides Rubix 2.0.1 and Liberty, I would try Darkslide 4.2 as well. It's a great rom. Also, I've heard good things about Rubix Blurry but I haven't personally tested it.

I have tried many roms, but my favorite is Darkslide 4.2. The most stable rom by far. But like I have said before, not all droids are the same. So try them all to see which one works best for your phone.

Once I got to Liberty, I've never had the desire to look for anything else. Have you tried enabling the sysctl.conf settings for snappiness? I use the ones found (copied below)

Sysctl Support: Check
Min Free KBytes: 4096
Dirty Ratio: 90
Dirty Background Ratio: 70
VFS Cache Pressure: 1
Oom Allocating Task: Check

Reboot your phone, go to the terminal emulator and type in:

sysctl -a | grep vm

These keep it snappy and noticeably increase battery life. The only snag is that every few days (with my moderate use) the phone needs a reboot before apps get "starved for memory."

Liberty is the fastest that I've used.

**cadis12** · 03-26-2011, 08:11 AM

No love for Apex? It's the first Rom that I have used. Been running it for about 5 days now and am very impressed! Battery life is SIGNIFICANTLY better then the stock software. Do you guys think I should try other roms?

**Smitty_82** · 03-26-2011, 08:15 AM

Everyone has their favorites. I go between ApeX and liberty. Try the top roms until you find one you like.

I'm using the newer RubiX Focused 2.0.1 ROM and love it.

For those of you that have tried all the Roms which do you think are the most stable and provide the best battery life?

**ddodge68** · 03-26-2011, 09:18 AM

+1 for RubiX. I've tried Liberty, Apex and Darkslide. All really good ROMs, but for me, RubiX is faster, and more stable.

Sadly liberty 1.5 has gotten very sluggish for me as well. AND the data constantly drops or freezes. I'm going to try both apeX and

I was using Liberty 1.5, but switched over to Apex last night. Im running the Honeybread theme and love it. However I find the battery life is better with Liberty cause it is completely Blurless. Also Liberty seems to have more customization capabilities. Most of the customization in Apex comes from ADW Launcher. Not 100% sure if Im staying with Apex or Switching back to Liberty, but Im going to give it a few more days.

Tried them all and gummyjar is the most stable and fastest on my phone, but like someone said every phone is diffrent

The must consistent results I've gotten in these departments are with RubiX 2.0.1 and I've tried them all. Just my experience, though.

I used Liberty 1.0 and thought that was great. Got many reboots when I moved to Liberty 1.5 and have switched to Apex 1.4. I have been happy with that for over a month. May have to give RubiX a try, but am patiently waiting to see if Liberty 2.0 comes out in the next 24 to 48 hours. I just liked the lack of bloatware on Liberty alot.

**Click** · 03-26-2011, 12:59 PM

Chalk another up from rubiX!! Its hands down the best. So freakin snappy. I love it!

**FromBBtoDroid** · 03-26-2011, 01:26 PM

Have to agree with rubix 2.0.1. I had Tranquility also for a while but for speed, relative battery life, nothing's been better than the versions of rubix that I keep coming back to.

**ultravisitor** · 03-26-2011, 02:08 PM

I really liked ApeX, but then I tried RubiX Focused and I haven't looked back.

**cron912** · 03-26-2011, 03:29 PM

I've tried Apex, Liberty, Rubix and Fission, and my favorite is Rubix. It's snappy, I've never had any problems (reboots, etc), and I get great battery life. Granted I'm using the Motorola extended battery, under-volting, and use JuiceDefender with UltimateJuice, but just recently I went 92 hours on a single charge with moderate use.
