Roms and Mflops - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I just run linpack for my HTC DESIRE Unbranded (stock rom no root or anything); don't laugh, 6.878 mflops . Then i wanted to know the top devices that have highest mflops. The Droid can go up to 52 mflops; the nexus 55 mflops (the notes show: 1300mhz google/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update/ERE27/24178:user release keys); the desire 47 mflops (the note show: 1267.2 mhz htc wwe/htc_bravo/bravo:2.1-update/ERE27/155070:user/release keys.
My questions: which rom have i have to install to have these 40 mflops? Froyo Rom? 2.1 Rom? How can it be possible for the Desire with 2.1 to have 47 mflops???

Install a Froyo rom and overclock the processor
I got 45.something when I used a froyo rom.

You must have Froyo because of the JIT who will give you the best augmentation (to be at something like 38 Mflops) and then overclok the CPU with setcpu (for example) to go for 42-45 Mflops.

Can you advise me? Which froyo is stable and hot sexy boom? Will everything working? Like video record (I see that sometimes froyo rom can't have it worked!).

Hot sexy boom, I don't think I have laughed so hard at a post on here before,
Anyway no froyo roms support video recording as of yet, defrost is a good rom, but its best to try out yourself and see which one you get on with
There is a guide on root and flashing a Rom, I advise for ease of use use Rom manager off the market for your Rom flashing needs

Thanks ^^. I would forward for the debfrost rom. Otherwise, is there any 2.1 rom which can go to 40 mflops? Go for the HTC DESIRE, it show that some 2.1 rom can go up to 17 mflops http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-by-device/

[q] settled on this for my htc desire....

Hi everyone!
In my pursuit of the ultimate rom i've settled for the insertcoin 0.3++......Took some risks to customise the phone and flash the cm7 hboot but now i'm there
I really like the new Leedroid 1.4 and the Auraxtsense 1.84 but i think this shades it!I want to chat in the developers area of the said roms but not enough posts....
Tried the Alpha revision custom sense hboot for leedroid and aurax but it would'nt have it,pity really but now on insert coin i have a load of apps and 175 mb internal memory!
Is there anyone who is using the same rom as me and would care to share their thoughts on the competition?
PS i've tried all the HD roms except starburst i think....Done the vanilla roms,oxygen,cm,gv etc
Cheers Simon
Haven't used said ROM myself, but I'm currently hunting for the right one for me. As great as it is and as appreciative as I am, little things are bugging me with the Oxygen ROM (I actually just came on to get some info on the stock 2.3.3 HTC sense for nexus s on my desire)
Out of interest what's made you choose this one?

I have been through most easily,even miui but i got to like insertcoin 1.8h,quick n slick with no memory leaks either.Went to 2.0 a2sd and data ext but thought it was laggy....this one you have to flash the cm7 hboot which just fits all the rom to nand flash...the hboot size is 130mb i think and the rom fits at 120mb so you get a load more internal memory considering the standard hboot is 250mb......used to like oxygen but gingerbread 2.3 isn't that good,i thought froyo oxygen was better.
This rom i'm using goes like [email protected] even while it's installing all the apps on the market upon installation
Then you realise it starts to slow down when you've installed your apps.

I'm a big fan of the data++ sensehd roms too. Rcmix densensensenised with launcherpro went like the proverbial off a hot stick. Did notice some slow down once all apps were installed but it is a seriously BIG improvement over other apps/data to sd. Flashing hboot was scary at first but now I dont hesitate at all. If anybody noobs are tempted then download fastboot commander. If there's any demand for it I'll do a walk through.
Having said all that, I'm currently playing with oxygen with custom hboot and found it again faster still. The only thing compares for me was the hiapk rom (based on cm7) which I tried briefly. Anybody else had a go on this one? miss the sense goodness though.
will be back on a hd ginger sense soon what with the ginger bravo leak.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
To be honest i have 43 apps on there ontop of all the ones which come as standard and the phone is fast...Again in all honesty it's not as fast as i thought it would be
I'd love to go back to a vanilla rom again but i keep missing sense.....Can't find a weather app as good as htc...that 90mb hboot flash might just be in the pipeline very soon and have a bit of oxygen this weekend.
PS I recommend fastboot commander also
Beetnubbin......I'm going to ditch this rom,it's not as fast as i thought....Leedroid 2.4 was faster i thought even though there's a few minor bugs.
Auraxtsense 8.4 went well for me too....is there any other rom you recommend mate?....Have'nt tried starburst classic yet,any ideas?

[Q] overclocking g2 with sense

please bear with me as im pretty new to this.
so a few weeks ago, i rooted my g2 and installed sense ui (desire z rom)
now i tried to overclock with the kernel from the unlockr page titled "How To: Overclock your perm rooted/ s-off T-Mobile MyTouch 4G or T-Mobile G2."
the overclock works great except for one thing, the video player doesnt work. none of the videos whether i made them or from youtube will work.
id like to know if i did something wrong.
You have to do a lot of research on which rom and or kernel you get they all have things that dont work... Either videos, blutooth, number keys during calls.....

As shortlived said you can flash karnels and overclock your phone but some things will not work, especially video playback. Read some threads and you will get an idea. Also you can try Virtuous you can download the advance karnel(You can overclock to 1.5 ghz) and everything should work fine.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 Using XDA Premium App
now that's figured out, has anyone successfully overclocked the g2 with sense or is it better to overclock with the stock rom?
Overclock kernal always can't support video playback well. Maybe you can try one by one to find a suitable

Okay it matters what sense your talking about. Gingerbread sense right now works with the stock sense karnel and sense 2.2 in the other hand can be overclocked ( Use Virtuous since you can download the advance karnel and overclock to 1.5 GHZ and like I said before everything should work.) As for stock Rom, I wouldn't waste my time since there is CM7 or CM6 is better. Also you can overclock both to to 1.5 ghz

Kernels are linked to the ROM being used, not to the hardware. Therefore, you need to be specific and tell us which ROM you used (as the reply above also mentioned). Different custom ROMs often have recommended kernels. Another thing, Froyo kernels are not the same as Gingerbread kernels. Plus, the kernels for Sense based ROMs are different from the vanilla (non-Sense) flavored. The kernel you mentioned appears to be for the stock G2 ROM (non-Sense). That is probably the main reason why things aren't working right.
If you are on Virtuous, then flash one of the Virtuous kernels. Virtuous comes with a 1 GHz overclock, no kernel flashing required. But since you've flashed another kernel, you should be able to flash the Standard kernel to get back to it). Or you can flash the "Advanced" Virtuous kernel for more OC options.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967153
If you are on a stock Sense Froyo ROM, the Godspeed kernel works great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847724&highlight=KERNAL
If you are on some other custom Sense ROM, read the thread for that ROM, to see what kernels are recommended.
Or if you want to get real crazy you can flash the 1.8ghz kernel just dont expect everything to work.

Just flashed back to stock 2.2

ok i have tried numerous ROMs (cm7, MIUI Desire Z 1.4, Senseginger 3.0, VillainROMZ 1.0.0, etc) and none of them seemed very stable.
pretty laggy or clunky and lots fo FC's so i went back to stock rom and
once again phone is working flawlessly.
now my question is...what now?
radios? kernels?
what do you recommend doing now that im rooted and back on stock ROM?
Have u tried virtuous?

Try the gingerbread leak for tmobile G2, try xboarders pure stock, try ultimate droid, etc etc

What now?
If you're happy with the stock ROM, why did you root?
If you rooted just for the sake of rooting, then you wasted your time. Sure, you can uninstall bloatware but, really, you could have done that with temp root and PM.
Personally, I avoided MIUI (if I wanted an iPhone I would have bought an iPhone) and Sense ROMs (I don't care for eye candy) and the only lag I found with CM7 was due to ADW so I deleted it and either use the stock GB launcher or Launcher Pro and have had no lag issues.

First off, while the stock ROM is actually quite good, you don't know whether you will like newer or custom ROMs better unless you try them first.
Aside from that, there are plenty of reasons to root and stay on the stock ROM. Such as overclocking the CPU, being able to use Titanium Backup and other apps (ShootMe, AdFree), and there are other benefits, as well.
Being rooted isn't just about flashing custom ROMs.

Launcher Pro is currently my favourite launcher, it is very fast, even at stock speeds.
I've found that all ROMs can be choppy from time to time, especially when my phone is not overclocked. I'm running at 1.4GHz most the time, but that's probably overkill.
My vote if you want a "just works" feel is use Virtuous - no point using stock when Virtuous exists. It's so much better optimised and you won't miss stock at all.
thansk for the opinions guys.
since Virtuous is what was recommended...
which version do you recommend for the g2?
You'll want the newest version of Virtuous, as there isn't any significant difference between the g2 and desire z, as far as I know.
You can get the most up to date Virtuous ROM from this thread:
[ROM][04/11/11] Virtuous v1.0.2 (HTC Sense 1.85.72.2) w/Fixes & Enhancements
Alternatively it's available through ROM Manager.
If you want overclocking you'll need either the "Standard" or "Advanced" Virtuous kernel, which are both also available from ROM Manager.
If you click the link on the Virtuous thread, or download using ROM Manager, the latest versions (1.0.2) is the only one available. G2 or Desire Z doesn't matter.
If you are asking which kernel, that's your choice. The ROM comes with the "Virtuous Standard" kernel which is overclocked to 1 GHz. If you want more OC options, up to 1.5 GHz, pick the Advanced Kernel. But keep in mind you will likely have to tinker with SetCPU screen-off profiles, otherwise you will have screen wake issues with the Advanced Kernel. If you want the kernel that "just works" stick with Standard.
awesome replies guys. very insightful.
ive chosen to install virtuous with the standard kernel
heisdnice I'm in the same boat as you. I'm running the xboarder56 ROM right now as it seems to be running stable...mius the GPS not working its ok.
I tried the latest Virtuous ROM and found it to be pretty good but I noticed that I got a FC on Handscent SMS and WiFi calling (even with the latter being removed via ROM Manager patch). I also found that a couple of Storm8 games that were fine on other ROMs (incl. the stock) had some imaging issues.
Trying to go through a bunch to see which ones are good and most suitable for me.

[Q] Wildfire best Rom for gaming

Hello! I would like to know what Rom would do a best gaming performance on wildfire. I have already tested myself Cyanogenmod 7 and SUnAaBh v1.1 and of course the Froyo 2.2 stock rom. i think Cyanogenmod 7 has the better game performance than SUnAaBh on my opinion. it may be because Cyanogenmod has android 2.3.
oh! And the other question
Is there a Kernel that would overclock wildifre even more than 768Mhz
I would like to know your opinion about this.
Thanks already
ps. Sorry for my bad english
Best gaming rom is anonimos froyo rom based on open fire, you can find it in development section or cyanogenmod (when using cm7, do not change the kernel, that kernel is the best one for wildfire).
No you cant overclock more than 768 mhz because it would be very unstable and could fry the processor.
Best kernel to flash on any rom is HCDR.jacobs 4.1 kernel, if you cant find it, pm me ill send it to you.
Note: dont use jacobs 4.2 kernel, from my experience, its unstable.
Hit thanks if i helped you, cheers.

I like more Android 2.3 than 2.2. So i change back to Cm7. It has a smooth gaming in wildfire. Thanks!

[Q] how to overclock HTC Wildfire?

HI,
I want to overclock my HTC Wildfire for batter gaming performance. My device details:
Rooted and running SUnAabh v1.1 ROM
Baseband: 13.55.55.24h_3.35.20.10
kernal 2.6.32.21-g0f9e.... tue noc 30.....
Build Number: vibhu's rom froyo
I am have used SetCPU app but it not working ?
Can any one tell me how to overclock my device.
Thanks
Overclocking wont do much good in terms of gaming performance. Our device lacks gpu which is why games don't work as they should.
Overclocking needs an overclockable krenal. I am using kwbr rom which is sense based as is sunaabh. I use rempuzzle kernal for overclocking on this rom. You can get it from the rempuzzle thread. Alternatively you can use Hcdr kernal.
guys please stop posting in the wrong thread...this is the development thread...move it to the the thread......
and kindly try to use the search button....it solves all your quarries
Has this thread changed section or was I that sleepy I didnt notice it when I replied?? Wierd

Use Cyanogenmod... Performance options (which include overclocking) are integrated inside the rom. Easy as 1 2 3
I want to overclock my device on same ROM, what I need to do ?
Can overclocking improve the games performance ?
I am playing Tekken 3 on my HTC Wildfire Buzz, by using FPse emulator and ISO image of game.
so u have root, and a custom rom. The only thing u are missing is a custom kernel, i think. Flash a kernel that supports your rom and can be overclocked. Than setcpu will work.
The game will run maybe a bit smoother. a gain of 1-5 fps hopefully. Maybe more, but i dont know for sure.

Wow this is an old rom, not seen this pop up for a time.
I used to use fpse(the whole reason i rooted my phone lol) and too played tekken.
Overclocking does help a little but dont expect to be pulling off special moves lol as response is not great even at highest o/c. Mess around with fps in the game/app (cant remember how it works) i think i used 25/30 i got it running quite good at one point but still laggy.
P. S stick with a sense based rom for fpse as it works best on sense on wildfire.
So can you tell me what's new and stable ROM for HTC Wildfire that improve performance.
What I need to do for fast and smooth play of Tekken 3 ?
Reduce frame rate or anything like that ?
Or can you recommend me any good game of PS3 that smoothly run on HTC Wildfire ?
Thanks
Trial and error really but 1st i would flash an o/c kernel. Head to dev section sticky, complete wildfire guide and try jacob flash to any rom kernel or rempuzzle thread and flash rempuzzle kernel.
Then its about testing which values work best for you,use setcpu to adust carefully as setting o/c too high has been known to cause boot loop for some. Go up in settings in parts not straight into 768.good start would be 633 test, then 652 test...... Etc etc
Ive already mentioned about framerate so test different values along with o/c values.
There is only one sense rom. I personally recommend and that is rempuzzle.
Thats it you have to do the rest lol. Goodluck, hope it goes smooth.
