Endless loops of betas??

Seems all I read about for months now are just unfinished Roms.. Seems like b4 one is completely finished another pops up and again and again.. Is there any one finished Rom out there?? Are we just stuck in an endless loop of betas? I'm on liberty gingerbread v.9, love it but can't send mms's its a pita! You would think they would finish a few final bugs and be done with it.. Now I see Justice Rom just came out.. And they reworked the toolbox.. Umm, can we get at least one finished Rom please? I don't mean to sound ungrateful, just aggravated and very frustrated..

zombiestomped is no longer supported by its developer, but its a finished GINGERBREAD rom that i was on for ~3 months straight with no problems. the only reason i moved off of it was to try miui. zombiestomped is really amazing -- fast, no compatibility issues, beautiful, good batt life

Not supported by its developer?? So the dev abandoned it... That doesn't sound promising.. Wow..

The dev probably got a new phone or something. He/she won't support a ROM forever. Woody of Droid Concepts no longer supports DC on the D1. Why? Because he got a D3. I completely understand and respect that.

Jboxen didn't even let anyone know anything though. He just kinda dropped out. I understand that people move on, but it would have been nice to hear something. It's a great rom

I completely understand about moving on when a new phone is purchased.. However, an announcement stating as such would be nice so ppl like my self wouldn't jump to the wrong conclusions.. But my main point continues we have many MANY months and longer of developing Roms and only 1 completed non-supported GB Rom?? Again, I don't want to sound ungrateful and I do appreciate all the devs and themers out there and their work.. But it would be nice to just see things that are started get finished..

I agree. For a Blur ROM it was pretty cool.

This was the first ROM I flashed and I used it for about 2 months.

Have you tried Apex? MMS and all that worked for me. Only issue is Bluetooth volume cannot be changed during a call. Which is a small issue IMO

No I haven't, reason is because I read that if you are an HDMI user liberty was the way to go.. So I spent the money for the toolbox pro to get where I am now.. which happens I love the rom but have a few bugs (batt life, mms, etc.) That drives me nuts.. Its so close to perfection yet it never gets finished just a new rom coms out so now I wasted money to just have to move on to yet another beta..lol ugh!

Yeah, HDMI doesn't work on Apex...

Try ZombieStomped. You'll probably like it.

mendedlogic with your mindset you're never going to be happy. there are plenty of stable roms here, but they're no longer supported because once these devs finish a stable rom, they get antsy after a short period and decide they're going to update it or make a new one (bringing it back to beta). which means you have a choice, either pick an "outdated but stable" rom, or a "newer beta" rom. you're not going to find a dev whos just going to make one rom, make it stable, and then sit around answering support questions about it for a year, thats just not how it works.

No one ever said anything about a dev sitting around for a year answering support questions, that's just ludicrous.. However you said it yourself, and I quote:
but they're no longer supported because once these devs finish a stable rom, they get antsy after a short period and decide they're going to update it or make a new one
My point is they NEVER finish anything they just 'get antsy' and move on, STABLE does NOT mean finished.. Zombiestomped is as close to finished as I've heard so far in a rom aside from ppl still complaining about random reboots and bloatware.. But since its no longer supported I suppose its finished.. Now we move on to the next best thing.. A NEW beta and the LOOP starts all over again.. So this poses a new question.. is there any roms out there where EVERYTHING works?? I'm in no way trying to start a pissing contest.. Just trying to understand the whole rom reasoning, so please don't take offense and or personal..
 
Just like I get ansy for a new rom after a short time, the devs want to move on as well. Can't blame them I guess!
