Root The Best ROM......?

I second this...or at least point to the best section of a thread
 
ROMs are very preferential. Asking which is best is like asking which scented candle smells the best... you're going to get a different answer from most everyone.

White Window and Evil Eris are both very popular. I'm running PlainJain currently. When I first rooted, I rooted with PlainJain. I quickly tried several other ROMs, but ended up coming back to PlainJain. EVERYTHING works on this ROM and I like the stock feel.
 
Of course, these are all my opinions, but:

- if you are looking for a full Sense based ROM, similar to stock with better performance and even some of the least popular built-in apps removed, the latest Plain Jane or XTRSense 3.1 seem best. Ivan's Official 1.0 is also good but not updated with the latest updates provided in July.

- If you are looking for a ROM that has great performance, uses the stock HTC bits but not the Sense launcher, XTR 3.0.3 is great, and I've also tried and liked Tainted Tenzo.

- If you are looking for something without Sense, with stock Android, Eris LightningBolt 2.8 or Droid Does 1.1 are both very good.

I've tried just about everything, including Aloysius, Evil Eris, the Froyo ones (kaos and CELB Froyo, which are both still incomplete), but the four listed above are the ones I like best.

And, you can find 'em all here: Droid Eris Android Development - xda-developers
 
evil Eris 3. 0 is the awesome if u like a sense feel to your Rom. rooted a week ago and tried a couple others, but for me this is everything and more!
 
mine is evil eris 4.0, only bug is no mms, but i dont use it that much anyway, i just post to Facebook if i have to
supposedly theres a gps bug but my navigation works fine
live wallpapers included and runs very fast and smooth
i doubt ill be switching until another EE comes out
 
I'm loving the layout and the blue theme of Sense-able 3.1. Battery life seems good too. The clock widget is awesome!

+1 Sense-able was the first ROM after rooting. No change to battery life. I'll eventually try others but there's definitely no rush.
