So many ROMS, which to choose?

[Bronxand]

I found a list of ROMS:

hxxps://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/wiki/Binary

BACKside-IHO-VM670
CM7.2.0 RC0-BobZ
IHO-Purity (100% Pure Build)
CM7.2-RC0-IHO-MiRaGe
Harmonia_2
IHO-Purity-X (Xionia kernel)

What are the major differences that make the Roms stand out amongst each other?
Pros and Cons?

iono what to pick.

One thing you should know is that Harmonia is based on froyo, not gingerbread. Above and beyond that, look for one that has lots of active development. That way, if there is a problem, it will be delt with quickly. I personally like BACKside.

i though harmonia 2 which he lists was GB ?.... anyway if you go to the git hub page itll give you a list of things they have and dont have. It depends on you, either way you cant go wrong because all of these roms are awesome in their own way

Harmonia 2 is definitely gingerbread based, no doubt about that notown.

As for which to pick, I prefer BACKside to Harmonia 2 just because customization is smoother on it.
My suggestion, start at the top and don't stop flashing till your happy

I've been using BACKside so long, I didn't even realize Harmonia is now Harmonia 2. I think the 2 indicates the jump to gb from froyo.

I'm a lean and mean kind of guy, and mirage has been an amazing ROM for me: Completely stable, none of the issues that I read about, and running quite fast.

Now that LeslieAnn has an updated Harmonia 2 out (based on mirage I understand) I may want to give it a try. I think she managed to trim it even further, and updated Google apps burned in will save a bit of memory. When I have the time...

I personally don't have this device but my best suggestion to you would be...

1. Look for the most talked about ROMs/reputation

2. Features/Option

3. Dev/member support. You really don't want to get involved with or waste your time on a ROM that doesn't have good support. Look for an active developer for the ROM, one that responds to posts, troubleshoots, updates frequently (hopefully not too much...) and takes suggestions and input from the users and incorporates them into the ROM if at all possible.

Grab a few of them, throw them and give each one a few days test drive. Its the only fair way to really find which one suits your style and needs.

I recommend Harmonia 2. It's very lean. Running it with Zeam launcher and overclocked at 825 (although my GFs has the same setup, it is only stable as high as 787--not a very noticeable difference). Makes the V a pretty bad ass phone, really. Without the devs working on this phone.. it wouldn't be nearly as quick and capable as it is. I'm very grateful.

Actually, Harmonia2 is built from an older version of BACKside-IHO.

... updates frequently (hopefully not too much...)...

I sometimes wonder if I put out too many updates for BACKside. I could group them together and release less often, but then you have a whole slew of new features to seek bug reports and feedback on, and inevitably, something gets overlooked in the grouping. So I tend to only put 2-4 new features in an update, and wait for feedback.

Oops, sorry about that. No offense intended. I just remember the post linked below where LeslieAnn says it was mirage based. Could've been just the first version.

LOL, there's another post where LeslieAnn says it's an older BACKside, since mirage and BACKside are both built from IHO, it's a moot point.

No its the internet somebody has to be correct. And the winner is ..........LeslieAnn.

It's my rom and I'll do what I want?

H2 beta was built on a generic IHO that I put together, another was a mix of Mirage and Backside (never released). The release is based on a generic IHO build that Mrg666 put together for me. All IHO roms are pretty similar.

I have said it was "pretty much an older Backside" or Mirage in order to make people understand that the differences are almost nil when you get down to it. It's more rumor control than anything. What makes Harmonia special isn't some special thing I did, it's the lack of anything special.

No Jerry, I like the amount if updates you do! That is probably the number one reason I chose to use your flavor of IHO. I love testing out the new customization features that you put in with each release!

There's more to it than that. It's the effort YOU put into making a great ROM. You've proven it over and over again, and everyone here appreciates all your effort to help this community in so many ways!
