Default Info to help chose custom ROM?

Hey,

I've just stumbled upon this community and I'm really grateful to see so many developers working on HTC Android devices. That said, I would like to ask for some info on the custom ROMs that work on Magic (features, differences, etc.).

Could outline them quickly or point to somewhere I can read that info?

Thank you so much!

Let me try:

Haykuro6.0r1 ROM:It's an HTC no Brand ROM, it still has problems like:volume of the micrphone(for the otherone on the phone it's difficult to hear you), and it's slower than the others.

Roger's ROM: it's still an HTC no Brand, but has some ION's improvements, that means it's faster than the 6.0r1, it has some apps pre-installed, microphone bug fixed, and other stuff (read the thread).

Hero ROM:it has Rosie, so it's graphically ahead of the others ROM, but it's not released yet by HTC, it means that it's incredible slow (compared to the others), and has lot of bugs (again: read the thread for more info)

France ROM: Never tried, but it should be (the releaser forgive me if I'm wrong) a Vodafone ROM , with ION's improvements, and JF kernel, that means it's fast, but you can't install HTC2s apps.

Every ROM's should ( not sure about it, again: read each thread) have tethering enebled, and everything working (except for the bluetooth in the Hero's ROM, that is not working yet)

If I've forget other ROMs sorry for that, but it's quite late here!

I'm sure somebody else could be more specific...

Thanks!
So what are the advantages of each ROM when compared to the default one? What's the difference between ION and the current ROM?

Also, just to make sure, rooting and installing custom ROMs doesn't void the warranty, does it?

XDA user simon walker created a build database for the Dream. Maybe he would be willing to do the same with Sapphire.

So for battery life, speed and stability what would you suggest? (I need WiFi and A2DP too...)
