Root Which ROM has been on your phone the longest?

I have been pretty much been a dedicated sholes/droidmod user since I rooted my phone. I have tried Pete's roms and did not see much difference between it and droidmod, but I will say that the new Smoked Glass 5.0 from Adamz looks pretty nice. I might be experimenting with it pretty soon.

Check my latest thread. I have SGv5.0.1 installed and it's amazing...from installation to performance. It was a total snap...even for a noob like me.
I would recommend against using the Droid font though, only because it affects unformatted fonts on webpages. It's cool to look at, but not read an entire news article, etc., with.

Most likely a stupid question but I will ask anyway as a whole lot of G1 owners would want this. Is there an upgrade Rom or Zip file that I can use to upgrade a Non-Rooted G1 ? Why are we stuck with 1.6 yet you guys get the good stuff? Are you guys smarter than the Google people? Maybe they should give you a job !

Pete's Bugless Beast has been on the longest so far. i ran 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5. eventually i started having issues with 7.5 so i switched to Adams Smoked Glass Rom v4.5, and then the night v5.0.1 came out i switched to that.

i will be sticking with AdamZ Smoked Glass. SG just seems more polished and less buggy, and i also like all the blue. nothing against Pete, but BB v7.5 didn't run very smooth for me and then ever since 7.5 i heard nothing but problems in the forums. stuff about people loosing su permissions and stuff. sounded like i mess so i have stayed away.

i am currently running AdamZ Smoked Glass ROM v5.0.1 with Modified Hi-Res blue framework-res, Pete's 2.0.0 lockscreen patcher and Home++ and all is going very well.

I'm using DroidMod 1.0 currently.. been with them since I've rooted.

I was actually just going to switch today to one of pete's ROM's, but I decided not to when I read it can be a tad buggy and stuff, so I guess I'll just stay with DroidMod until I find something better. I'm sure pete will come out with something huge soon.

Or maybe I'll try the Sense UI ROM? Not sure if I like the whole Sense look though. :cool:
