What do you guys suggest

[thexxoffspring]

Right now I'm running BB which has been the fastest smoothest ROM so far for me. But I wanna see what you guys are using because I've tried every ROM that has come out for the OV and I'm thinking about switching but I can't really decide since to me all the ROMs seem the same. Any suggestions?

Aospcmod is the best way to go in terms of the most feature-rich rom. It's also very smooth and the aosp kernel performs very well. Battery life is also no longer a concern, and neither is MMS receiving. The only problem that may remain is that some people have trouble with Bluetooth headsets, but besides that, it's perfect!

I like the 2,2 roms. Harmonia, BumbleBee, Nameless, etc... AOSPCMOD (2.3.3) has some issue's for me. One of my favorite apps (Plex), does not work with it.

Just got news via twitter, aospCM7 is now 2.3.4, maybe that will help you decide.

Reading the camera is borked on 2.3.4. For those who use their phone's camera a lot, you might wanna hold off.

The camera app was also borked in the aospCM7 4/27 build a little, finishing recording a video doesn't auto load the gallery and the camera zoom is from 0.1 to 0.5 instead of 1-5. But the new build has worse issues, focus freezes it once the white focus square appears, so you have to set a volume button to snap a pic. But zoom is now 1-5. So pick your poison!

For someone new to flashing ROMs, I would recommend the 4/27 build unless you find a need for Android 2.3.4. Spend some time in a 2.2 ROM learning about your phone's capabilities with that OS, go through all it's settings, see what it can/cannot do that you have read about. Then spend a day with aospCM7, go through all of it's settings/options, and see if you like it.

Flashing from one ROM to another is about a 30 minute job (though I can get it done in about 20 usually), if you backup/backup/wipe/format/flash/restore, you can pretty much do it while eating breakfast once you have all the files on your phone, so experiment, and have fun!
