Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what the most generic rooted ROM is available with Sense etc.
I'd just like a standard rooted ROM. I dont need A2SD, changed emoticons, changed icons etc.
Thanks in advance.
Rob
The tcl_r4_desire_hb75 rooting process is pretty much a generic sense rom from what I saw.

Hi all.
Today I took some time and rooted my Desire, and installed couple of different versions of ROM. All of them are faulty in a way, modaco doesn't support video recording, with the cyanogenmod I keep getting "no service"...
So now I would like to keep root, but install a generic ROM, regular/official one, with Sense.
Is this possible and can someone tell me where to get a regular/official ROM?
Have you tried MCR r3.1? (not the froyo one) That's very stable.
If you really want stock with root I can cook one up tomorrow.
Is that this one?
Hi - ive finally taken the big step and rooted my desire (unbranded with OTA Froyo updates) using unrevoked 3.
My question is this ... im not too bothered about flashing new ROMS - although opendesire is quite tempting (but i like all the Sense stuff).
What I would like to do is customise the existing stock ROM. in particular i quite fancy this ...

So ive found metamorph and installed it .... but it says i need BusyBox .....
Now when I check for BusyBox i seem to be hiting a deadend - in that I cant update this for the Desire.
Now im reasonably tech-savvy but an Android noob.
Can i customise stock ? or do i really need to use another Rom for customisations ??

There's a ROM/Theme kitchen in the Development thread Go search there
Hopefully it works for you.
metamorph dosent work with the desire, i think it somthing to do with the fact we dont have full root yet, if you flashed the ota, becareful trying to theme, i think the official htc roms are odexed, meaning themeing is nearly impossible ........
Hello,
I know there are several threads about this already, but none of them tells me which rom for the Defy is the closest to a stock (non-Motorola) 2.1 or 2.2 Android. Thanks.
Basically, blurless means non blur and you can't really compare two things which are basically the same. Blurless means you won't have ANY blur app in your phone which basically eats up the memory and cpu although some are necessary for sync and all that.
If you're talking about whether to choose 2.1 or 2.2, i would suggest 2.2 because although i was disappointed by it, you still have some nice applications for 2.2 such as full flash player support and some apps require at least 2.2 so yea...have fun playing around with roms !
cheers,
Sorry for late reply.
Yes, I'm aware of what "blurless" means or I wouldn't have used it. I was trying to find out what Defy rom is available that is closest to a 2.2 or 2.1 stock Android ROM (ergo, without Motoblur). All I want is a standard Android rom—preferably 2.2—without all the Blur crap, or the closest possible to it that I can get. Thanks.
The leaked Nordic sbf 3.4.2_177 is a blurless Motorola ROM & is a 2.2.2 - I've been using this myself for a week or so & it's a good slick ROM. Prior to this I wasusing the leaked UK 2.2 ROM 3.4.3-11 which is a Blur ROM - The Nordic is my preference.
If it's custom ROMs you are after then in the Defy Dev Forum there's a few based on the Nordic & the ROM by ephumeris (EphuNord ROM) sounds good.
Hope that helps & that I've understood what you wanted
My EphuNord is basically stock Nordic Deblur rom. I've just made adjustments to make it easier to theme and modify. I think ive provided around 8 framework themes so far. A mod for stock lock screen. More optional extras to come soon too.
Sent from my Defy on CM7.
Alright, that sounds good. I'll try it out, thanks.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I have a rooted Telus HTC Desire HD. I have tried several ROM's and so far none quite fit the bill. I am looking for a ROM that is basically a rooted version of the stock rom. I only rooted my phone so I could use a clockwork recovery and be able to backup my device. Also Sense is needed as I use google calendar along with pure calendar to display my appointments, contact birthdays and facebook contact birthdays. Facebook for sense seems to be the only way to easily do this. I have RCmixHD which is supposed to be a port of Telus stock rom & I like it except that it does not have Canadian or US English options. If anyone has some ideas on where to look next I sure would like to know.
Hi jmc7895
Since you like sense.. you can try Android Revolution HD and LeeDrOid. Well you can try the Gingerbread version of them, you also have the option to try out the Froyo version.
Cheers. =)
I have to say I am no Android freak, I just started to use Custom Roms for 3 weeks.
But I could honestly recommend Android Revolution HD 5.1.x to everybody.
stable, fast, almost a rooted stock Rom, no trash inside, no problems until you do not install any "Sense 3.0 Addons"
only follow the guides and you will be happy with that rom.
I am currently using Revolution HD.
First custom rom i've tried, I love it. Looks exactly like stock Gingerbread, only waaay faster and with better battery life. Plus there's 24/7 support on the rom's thread
Just follow the tutorials, you'll be fine !
The only downside I could think of is that the rom is not directly available in ROM Manager. Not a big problem anyway =)
Hi guys!
Just bought SXZ1C last week and really like it! I would like to change it to lighter OS tough. There is many Google and other apps / programs that I do not mind. Is there any list of programs that are safe to disable? or lighter "stock" ROM for the phone? I have not unlocked boot loader yet. What would be best opinion for me?
thanks guys!
I have been using this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3097458
It's based on v242 and it's light compared to other stock Roms. Only thing that was missing for me was the radio app but I pushed it to system from another Rom (doesn't matter if radio app is from 242 or 270).
