Default the best rom so far

I've tryed the MB version of WM6 for about 2 1/2 weeks. It was manageble. Quite a bit of tweaking to get it where it needed to be. Anyhow,i felt it was good but i knew i could've used more speed in terms of hopping in & out of programs,apps, etc. Now i have the Xplore version. Xplore version seemed to draw me in due to the the focus on memory. I would like to hear some different opinions on which rom is best. I definitely know this is a matter of opinion but i would really appreciate the insight. If anyone has tried the Faria (real thing) rom and you like it...tell me why...give me some opinions or insight on why. Thanks in advance!

It's pretty hard to say which is the best. Everyone has had different experiences with different roms. I have a G4 wizard and so far Underground has proven itself to be my consistent choice. Few tweaks here and there(what rom don't you have to tweak) but my main issue was battery. Even after using the battery cab for each rom, Underground always gets about two days of battery for me and overclocked at 260. Also, after a long day of using the phone I hold about 20 megs of free space. Again, this has been working for my phone and I can't say everyone will have the same results.

Thumbs up Underground

Having tried them basically all: UNDERGROUND is my best choice

i have tried a good bit of crossbow roms....

orwell: ok...had to do a lot of tweaking and to me it wasnt all that stable. first crossbow rom i used...switched back to original wm5 until better roms were released

pdaviet: honestly...i never liked these roms...for me it was too cluttered with applications i didnt need...it was based on orwells with tweaks but still wasnt as stable like i wanted to be.

underground: Just Ok...no major bugs...but the performance wasnt there (even after tweaks) and my phone would hang a bit. free memory was about 22 ~ 25mb.

mb: good rom. quite stable. free memory above 25mb. didnt use it for too much because mun released his rom.

mun's rom: another good rom; ran stable without crashes for weeks. performance was good and free memory was good (about 27 ~ 29MB)

faria real thing and vanilla: both are good roms and were real stable. real thing had apps but i prefer barebones so i can practice cooking. vanilla was good but had some bugs (phone settings issue...i didnt have problems with gsm but i think faria did). vanilla had great free memory (30 ~ 31mb). this is the rom i am practicing cooking on...i am still working on clearing the phone settings issue myself (need more hours in a day man...)

xplore: this is a great rom. cooked for free memory...i have 33mb free on my main phone. i havent notice any big problems except a wifi issue i encountered (wouldnt turn on) but that was cleared after i used the UK 2.19 radio rom (which is great by the way....i know ppl like 2.61 for it reception but i have been missing a lot of calls)

nottosmart vanilla: unfortunately i didnt get to try this but i read that its a good rom.

i really liked mun's, faria's and xplore. it really depends on what your looking for your wizard....mun's was real stable, xplore and faria had free memory above 30mb and were vanilla roms. we owe a lot to these guys for their hard work and there're the reason i started cooking (btw thanks molski for your cooking pack..its awesome). thanks guys.
