So i take it 9/10 people on here,
Have
A: A rooted Phone
B: De-branded
C: Custom ROM
D: Mods,
So if you all have the Froyo 2.2 from a Custom Rom, Why have the forums flooded with the launch of 2.2
Is it not as rubbish as every release by any company that releases updates,
Buggy, slow and lack of improvements and have to wait another year for an official update
Or is it better than half of the Custom Roms out there,
And again i take it its all Sence UI?
As my Understanding there was two different ones, Sence UI and Froyo ?
But Froyo Official looks like Sence UI (Now am Confused)
So i Suppose the question to ask really would be,
Have you been on any Custom ROM and Moved to the Official Froyo 2.2
Any Improvement,
What ROM where you on before, Defrost, OpenDesire DJDroid Etc....
and on the Speed test does it come up on top or far from it
(Quadrant)
Froyo is codename for Android 2.2
Sense UI is HTC widget for it's phone which is on top of Froyo.
My phone isnt rooted at the moment but i will maybe do so in the future. I like using cooked roms on my phone i had lots of fun with my tytn 2. However the phone appears more responsive using froyo and i like the apps to sd option, that was the only drawback of this phone compared to my previous one.
An official rom from the company that actually made the phone and presumably has a team of paid developers/testers is more likely to be less buggy than a custom rom made by one enthusiastic unpaid fan, tested by novice unpaid users.
With my Windows phone things were different, there was almost no official work being done and the custom roms were better and gave more than any official release did so I installed a custom rom about a month after I bought the Touch HD.
I have not felt the need to root my Desire yet, Apps2SD almost did it for me but since it is in 2.2 there is no reason anymore, I think your 9/10 people statistic is not realistic for the HTC Desire users.
I'm on XDA now for things like the HTC IME Mod Keyboard with Voice Input
...Since the last Poll started a long time ago, I thought it would be nice to see whats the most favorite Rom on the market at the moment.
So please vote for your Rom and maybe describe your choice...
CyanogenMod Nightly here as my sig says.
oxygen rom
i prefer AOSP roms
Still the wrong forum, has nothing to do with Development....
Oxygen ROM. It's best for me.

i would say it has to do with development in the aspect that we can see what roms are most used and that might help the developers deside what ppl want in there roms and maybe add some features that other roms have to there´s to get it more popular.
would also help new ppl decide what rom to take since they will prolly start with the one most ppl use couse that must be allround good and pretty general appealing also it gives a better oversight of what roms that there are.
I use Defrost now cause I like the AOSP Rom, but when I do use Sense, it's LeeDroid All the way..
Both are super stable, have almost all features people require, and if they dont, the dev's are usually able to include it within a couple releases. Also, both dev's spend alot of time interacting with the communities on the forums, which is a great sign of ANY rom!
My own Rom Based on the HTC Stock Froyo 2.10.405.2...
Many of us been using leedroid... I wish there's a leedroid version of non sense super fast stable rom... hope oxygen makes it perfect ^^ i love everything about non sense, but sense dialer is just owning...
I'm running LeeDroid 2.2f because for me, it's a good ratio of classic HTC Sense feeling to root and modding options. Or, to put it like this: It allows me to use all the good things about Sense without restricting me too much. Perfect for a user who, like me, is pretty new to Android.
My prerequisites are sense, UI close to stock, normal battery consumption, a2sd+ and UVOC.I have tried the following over the past couple of weeks:
Leedroid 2.2f- too much bloatware, monstrous battery consumption but the most reliable
dj droid 1.8 - closest to stock, has battery z mod, stable, doesn't have OC, a2sd doesn't function properly.
AuraXTSense 8.0- I'm sticking with this one, it is not bloated, a2sd+ works, fast. Clock with weather widget acts strange but working most of the time. I wouldn't call it unreliable but I managed to freeze it two times [email protected]
Cyanogen 6.0.2. - no sense.
Rom by ieftm - I was planning of sticking with this but it needs to get fixed. One time it installs properly, the other I'm in a boot loop. Changing between recoveries doesn't help here.
Hope this helps.

I`m running CM 6.0.2 because i like Stock Android and it suits me fine...
I use Leedroid 2.2 f as Outlook sync is needed. It's very stable, fast and frugal with SetCPU and Juice Defender configured.

I tried the rest but stuck to the best Leedroid wins hands down
Oxxxxxyyyyygggggeeeennnn FTW!
Really, it's a good AOSP ROM.
gotta be defrost, fast reliable, and always updates!
after having tried almost all roms here around now I'm still (more than a month) with Ox
latest beta (0.2.2) is very fast & stable
Running MyTouch 4G.. or Robociks other great roms. Works smooth and well.

I'm using LeeDroid, in part because it's close to what i was moving from and because i also sync with Outlook. I've not yet been brave enough to remove Sense completely, as i'm guessing the HTC sync will go with it.
originally i used sense roms and tried various others (had to go back to sense as aosp roms stuttered and were laggy in comparison for me with 7 full screens). now i go between open desire, oxygen and miui (but with zeam launcher).
really at this point, it's a toss up between the latter 2 - at least until gingerbread comes out
I'm currently running SuperVillain after development on Pinky stopped. Both these ROM's are fairly free of bloath and run very stable. VillainROM has also ceased development of their Desire ROM's so I'm looking for a new alternative which hopefully will continue to be maintained.
Requirements:
- Sense
- Bloat free
- Based on latest official HTC ROM
Currently I'm looking at LeeDroid and AuraxTsense but I'm also interested in the new HD sense versions. Is camera still a problem? I read some where the camera works but 720p gives green. Are they worth trying or just stick to official based ROM's and wait for HTC to release the Gingerbread ROM with hopefully the new Sense?
Which ROM do you advice?
HD ROMs can't record in 720 but everything else is working with the camera, and you can view 720 videos (although some are a bit jumpy)
Other than that they're spot on
Leeroid 2.3b should see you sorted
fast, stable, and sense.
Tried an HD ROM but still a little buggy for my needs.
However the Leeroid developer now has a Desire HD so who knows how long the ROMs will be updated for

Currently running Leedroid and liking it. Gave Oxygen a run first and have to say it's damn good but I kinda missed Sense a bit. Especially the Sense contacts application which easily allows to link all sources (Google, FB, Twitter etc...)
hey guys! well as the title says, i'm pretty new to the wildfire forums. i've had my HTC wildfire (unbranded) for over a year now, but didn't root until yesterday (which was a pain in the butt UGH OTAs...). even though i'm new to this forum, i'm not new to XDA. as you can see in my signature, i have a MT4G (glacier). besides rooting that, i have also rooted a MT3GS, and a Samsung Galaxy S. i just flashed CM7.1, liking it, but want something better. so, just asking, what are the best ROMs for the Wildfire? any suggestions?
Stick with CM7 would be my recommendeation because, broadly speaking, there are 2 categories of ROMs for the Wildfire:
- Sense based Froyo ROMs - These are all optimized stock ROM's, and, honestly, you should go with it only if you would like to keep HTC Sense. There is one Gingerbread Sense 2.1 ROM (SFM), but its incomplete, and looks like its abandoned. (Possibly it isn't, but it looks like it). Popular ones at the moment are RemPuzzle ROM and JokerDroid
- Others are Froyo / Gingerbread AOSP ROMs like CM7. There are a LOT more AOSP ROMs there, but, honestly, they are all slightly modified versions of CM7 itself. I would rather keep CM7 itself. There is a beta build of DevNull and Oxygen though, if you would prefer those over CM7

I'm looking for a bit of advice, my friend just came into town to visit me with a desire hd, and I've been looking for a good stable rom for him, the phone is already s-off rooted and all that, it has a ext-4 recovery or something like that based off clockworkmod, whoever did the phone put a nosense/sense 3.0 rom on it but after I compared it to my htc hd2 running cm7 wasn't too impressed, and I know the desire hd can run a whole lot better, but after looking thru the roms found almost all roms are based of sense 3.0 or 3.5 , is there any good aosp or cm7 that any would recommend for me or any good stable sense rom that definitely is the preferred, and if anyone has any suggestions and can add what radio and ril I need for it I would appreciated. I searched and the cm7 looked like there were issues with them and ultimate droid had been discontinued, was hoping MDJ was still working in them, but I guess everyone is moving to sense.

Be patient okay well cm7 is the best aosp Rom (stable and a lot of support)but in my opinion sense 3.5 from rcmix is THE BEST ROM

Android Revolution HD is a great sense ROM, there is also a de-sense flashable zip.
By the way, your comments above (however intended) won't win you any help! ! Keep that in mind.
ROM styles and features are personal taste, so best to try a few and make up your own mind. Just follow the Devs guide / OP and FAQ.
Backup apps and data with apps such as Titanium Backup (pro) and use CWM Recovery for nan-backup prior to flashing new ROMs or addons.
You may need to full wipe before flashing between ROMs (lose apps and data),.so backup first.

There are many of us willing to help out as much as we can, but we are in different time zones, countries etc.
Have a look at some of the screenshots in my sig to help with visual ideas, plus an up-to-date list of current XDA roms with links to the XDA threads.
Personally I enjoyed CM7 for ages and now I'm really happy with MIUI or the MIUI Freshly Squeezed Edition.
If you want AOSP ROM then try Hydrogenmod once.
CM7 is ok, but imo, Miui looks better. You can replace the miui launcher with LP/ADW and you still get the miui icon backgrounds. They both are pretty smooth and stable. Miui also has a pretty good music player with lyrics and a equalizer. CM7 has a super bright torch (Its brighter than most lights...) and DSP manager. I haven't seen any issues with CM7, most of the nightlies are pretty stable, CM7 based roms such as helios and hydrogen are also stable. Sci miui, RD miui and freshly squeezed are also really stable miui roms.
Sense just looks really nice, but isnt that functional or smooth (The launcher pretty much lags when a page is filled with apps, and the appdrawer always lags). Sense just has a better camcorder (Best AOSP camcorder is LG camcorder, which can record 1080p but still has no proper touch to focus in video - It does display a focusing icon now but still doesnt seem to focus for me). ROM Cleaner [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050283] can remove most of the useless sense features.
Revolution would probably be the smoothest and most stable Sense 3.0 Rom. Leedroid is a good sense 2.1 rom (The new sense 3.0 version is somewhat glitchy). You can also try the V6 Supercharge script [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278299]
CM7 nightlies (I'm on 220 at present) have always worked very nicely for me, together with the latest radio and matching RIL. I generally have the LCD density set to around 190-200.
The only thing I missed coming from Sense was the calendar and bookmark widgets, replacements for these can be found using Android Pro Widgets on the market.
Why anyone would use Sense is a mystery to me. It's slow, bloated and battery life is horrible compared to CM7. Also beware MIUI as in my experience the battery drain on standby can be horrific - not sure if that has been sorted out in the most recent version though.
I apologize if some thought I was being out of line getting upset but sitting, watching the thread sit and the views count going up, and nobody bothering to make a suggestion was pretty upsetting. I know we are in different time zones, and I would understand if that was the case and nobody was in the forum to lend a hand, but that wasn't the case, people were taking the time to read it and move on and post to other threads, that's why I got upset.
For the people that took the time and help me out I thank you, I hope I can squeeze time today before my friend has to fly back home to do his phone and put something stable enough for his every day use.

If you like what all HTC can do with Sense 3.5 on Android, check out RCMix Runny 1.5 or RCMix Bliss 1.3 ROMs. Stable releases with fixes coming often for issues if any.
For a stable release with Sense 3 and latest gingerbread, check Android Revolution HD (most widely used ROM for DHD).
But, the best thing you can do is try as many ROM's as you can and use each for atleast a week. I could not stand MIUI which many like for whatever reasons they have.
Can someone tell me which ROM has the best battery life?
In my little experience i can say:
-the fastest Sense 3 Rom i've used was the Pyramid3d 1.1
-the nicest one with all the new Sense 3.5 feature, stable and smooth, is the Runny3D and i must say love Sense 3.5!
Now i'm on BlackIce,very speed and for now i've got the best battery life but i'm using it since yesterday so i must test well... Thanks to IceTool Dolby and SRS are working too .
So if you wont AOSP Rom i think BlackIce is the best one!
(Sorry for bad english!)
