Hello
I've tried most of the Sense FroYo roms now and I can't make up my mind which I find most stable.
DeVillian, LeeDroid, UDK and Adams rom always seem to reboot every now and again. What makes it harder (for me anyway) is that I would prefer most Sense apps (Plurk, Footprints, Car Panel) and I would also like to install stock Contacts app. Pretty hard to find a rom which I can install the apps I want and performs well.
What rom does everyone think is most stable?

Same here. Really happy with it.
I'm using Pay87's froyo+sense rom, have been for over a week and there haven't been any reboots or stability problems.
Most of the froyo roms seem pretty stable now. Is it possible you have an app which is misbehaving?
ive used lee droid and modaco and both are stable. Did you perform the full factory/cache/davlik cache wipe before flashing the new rom?
I do a complete wipe every time I flash a rom. Probably me doing something horrifically wrong.

It's currently in the oven
But i've always had trouble with MoDaCo roms though. Don't think i've ever had one install properly
Edit: However, if this does work, it'll (hopefully) mean I can flash Mythamps Contacts/Dialer theme
I havent had one install properly either. It always gets stuck at the HTC white screen on boot up. Both 2.1 and 2.2 custom ROMS.
Anyone have the same problem or know why this is happening?

Do you have an ext3 partition on your SD card? Most custom roms has a2sd in it, hence an ext partition is a must.

True, but when the 2.1 mcr roms were out, we didnt have fakeflash, thus not having to unpartition it on initial boot. even when tried with an ext, it still wouldnt boot. Once got it to the Sense loading screen, but it wouldnt move on from that
As usual with mcr, it isnt booting. stuck at white htc screen
Since using ROM manager I haven't had a single boot loop with any ROM and I have tried most! My current favourite is MoDaCo R5 which allows me to include just what I need using the online kitchen. I have had no problems at all with this release.
MoDaCo R6 has just been released and adds the standard Contacts app and other minor additions.
I've had problems with most froyo roms. Imo none are as stable as the eclair roms.

MCR R6 is the most stable I've found. And I totally agree with the kitchen. Most devs are keeping QuickOffice in their roms as it isn't available in the market, so the kitchen is great for removing that. Absolutely love it.

Hi!
I heard its possible with some rom to choose "reboot" when long pressing the off button?! (defrost or opendesire)
Now I was wondering if this mod is available for devices running other roms. I really miss this feature, since I use the original HTC Rom (with root) for the moment.
Could someone please tell me where to find this mod?
Cheers
Korbi
I believe with HTC's griphold on their phones, it may not be possible at the moment.
I don't see why someone cannot add this feature, although it will be alot of work compared to the non-sense android Roms, which are more easier to modify.
Personally, I don't see a use for it, as i have a reboot to recovery in RomManager, or I could just press the Power button again =/

Thanks for the answers.
@Danifamous:
I dindt quite get, why it shouldnt be possible? Open Desire or Defrost are HTC based ROms, too...
@cyron_at:
thanks, but I think this tool only enables reboot via widget, doesnt it? Since the space in my homescreen is very limited, its not really an option for me...
I am still hoping to find a solution, so please keep on posting =)

Please, can you explain howto do this mod?
Since there is no thread regarding this mod, and since i wanted it for myself so badly, after busting Flemmard's balls for about 2 hours I managed to make it
It simply makes the launcher go to landscape without the need to slide the keyboard out.
This has only been tested on Virtuous Sense 2.0.0
Very cool. If I used rosie I would use this.
Am at work so cannot test this myself, but does anyone know if this will also break the lockscreen options menu on the Sense 3.0 lockscreen?
Yes it probably will. The lockscreen will still work but you won't have the options to change it.

Has been working for me great all this time. It started "breaking" this morning though, after i installed the sense 3.0 lockscreen. The thing is that rosie gets fubar sometimes on its own will, when exiting a landscape game for example...
rosire rotate desire z
hi,
I have instaled Rosie.apk with no problems and now when I rotate the phone the homescreen also rotate without opening the keyboard. (I have desire Z -rooted with Virtuous Sense v2.0.0). But when I restart phone this function dissaper so I have to install Rosie.apk again. Is there any way to fix that.

thanks for answer but I am new in android world and I am not shure what means flashable version. Does that mean that I have to download the Rotating_Rosie.zip file and apply it with ROM Manager as I would install new ROM? Is there any chance ob bricking the divice or being stuck in boot loop when doing this?

There is all ways a risk flashing mods. But as long as you use the mod on the correct Rom you will normally be fine.
To apply the rotating_rosie.zip you need to flash in recovery. You can use Rom manager. But I would suggest that you learn how to use CWM recovery to get full manual control over your device.

Hey
My friend is pretty tired of the Desire not having enough space to install applications. Im going to put a Sense ROM (Latest Sense with Gingerbread) but that allows ALL apps to be installed on the SD so he can have more space to install stuff. What ROM do you recommend?
Thanks
Good question. I wouldn't want to move away from Sense either but am always running out of space.
my suggestion:
Acesmod007 cm7 v39
In case you will wonder: 1gb ext4 partition will do the trick.
I use Alex v rom data2w with 1.3gb internal memory.
It's fast and so much internal memory..
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
I strongly recommend Oxygen. With Sense one starts with 135 mb of free space for apps. With Oxygen, I started with 330 mb. I have over 110 apps and still have about 50 mb available.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
The difference in free space is incredible. Doesn't the Desire have 512Mb at the start? For HTC to only give 1/5 to end-users is nuts.

I especifically said Sense.
For all apps to install to Sd you can try the data2ext roms like supernova or the data2ext version of Cool3D AceS V4. These roms will allow you to put your entire data partiton onto the sdext partition, giving you 'unlimited' memory.

Well there was no need to be an arse to him as he was trying to help. And there's no need to be an arse with me for pointing out he was helping.
In the spirit of helping you, regardless of the fact I think you're an arse:
Choose any sense Rom you want. Partition the sd card with an ext partition.
Use a2sd+ or data2sd to maximize space.

@riahc3
being an arse to people trying to help you will not endear you to anyone.
Quick question please (which I imagine will help the OP too), is it possible to have proper App2SD "without" resorting to a new ROM?
If so, is there a link that tells you how to do it. I asked a similar question a while ago and all suggestions also revolved around ROM upgrades:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055163
Depends on the Rom. If its a rooted version of the Rom that came on your phone, you need to add init.d support then a2sd. The first part is a lot of trouble. Much easier to flash a custom Rom. If you follow my signature link then the root memory faq, there's a link back to a thread here to do it but I can't see why anyone would go to this trouble
If your Rom already has init.d support you can flash any a2sd solution.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks. Perfect answer.
I'm using the stock ROM that came with my HTC Desire then upgraded to Froyo OTA (Sense 2.x. I don't know the exact version). I doubt it's got that in it. So like you say, it's easier to install a custom ROM.
Indeed, no stock Roms have init.d
Init.d is a folder that you put scripts in and they run on boot or initialization.

I was explaining that a nonSense ROM was not what I was looking for, as I previously stated. I did not insult. I did not say anything else expect that I specified a Sense ROM.
Some of you need to get less sensitive. It was a comment on a forum with no harm intented.

Lets revise them (by looking at first post):
Alex-V 1.0 GB Rom: Looks pretty good and clean but based on the old Sense, not the latest.
SuperNova: Looks great. Very easy to set up it seems. But again, looks like it is based on the old Sense, not the latest.
Cool3D Sense 3.0: I think this is the one Im looking for The only problem is that setup looks a bit "difficult" to say a word. Im sure looking thru Itll just take a few minutes more than the others but...
Cool Sense 2.1: I imagine this is the above but the old Sense. Easier to setup too.
Some questions did come up:
1: Do I have to S-OFF the HTC Desire?
2: Is rollback with a NANDroid backup easy and painful?
3: I imagine the answer is Cool3D Sense 3.0 but which has the most "eye-candy"?
4: Reverse question of sorts to number 3, which is the fastest?
The phone isnt mine but these answers would be nice so I can explain to the person what I am about to do.

Having ported a GB ROM i figured i'll try my hand at a froyo port,
searched through the cdma threads again
and found a Froyo rom built by jaybob one of the cdma's finest developers
n began porting it
this is an aosp rom and is very much stable for daily use
for the moment i've only ported the black version and default version of the rom m hoping as time passes by i'll port all the themed versions found in the original thread
The original thread is over Here!
Now on to the ROM
I've added in the basic gapps package for ease of downloads
FroYo 2.2.1 CM6.2.0 stable[Default edition
FroYo 2.2.1 CM6.2.0 stable[Black Edition]
if you want full gapps just wipe cache and dalvik before you flash after 1st reboot
Full Gapps Package
i missed out provisions.apk
so plz flash this after flashing rom
Provisions-update PLZ Flash!
added email application in attachments
although i've added in the basic gapps package plz flash the full gapps package simply because i tend to make mistakes
Themes and fixes Made by Habarug for this ROM(Nice work and a big thank you to Habarug)
ICS THEME
Naked simplicity
Mod for the pulldown bar
Thanks to jaybob and elelinux based on whose roms this port was made

Compared to Decked ? Hmm, difficult to say at this stage. Feels fast and definately lighter. Apps2SD works BTW as does GPS Google Nav. Am still at work and now V. low on battery so have stopped fiddling till i get home to my charger.
So far would have to say this is at least as fast as any froyo i've used with my usual setup.
This one feels really good Will try it for a while, and if i still like it i will mash together a theme to make it complete for me
well,this ROM is very smooth,feels quick enough for daily use..
experienced no lags so far,we'll see how it runs in the next few days..
now if only Habarug ports his ICS theme from VE6 (as look is not really an upside of this room )
lol ur running the black edition or default?
Default.I just dont like the statusbar actually .

hey guys..
so i just used Strawmetal's method of Downgrading my 2.3.4 to 2.2 HTC G2 *T-mobile* and continued to root it. I am able to boot into clockwork and just did a backup. I know its kinda noob, but im coming from a defy, but now.. am i free to flash any rom as i please? specifically Im looking into the G-lite... im concerned about kernel incompatablity and what not..
im not sure what the rules are for the G2 phone.. its been a LONG time since using the G2 and Im coming back to it. So any any help would be really appreciated..
Thanks a lot
If your already made a backup with clockwork then you can go ahead and flash the roms/gapps. Make sure you wipe beforehand. The rom should come with its kernel

Umm governors are part of the kernel. You should be able to control them either with the roms inbuilt tools or an app like setcpu.
You should upgrade to the latest . 19 radio. There are instructions on how to do that on the forums. Ill try to find the link.

thanks alot.. i just flashed the new radio.. ahh man.. this rom is REALLY PLAIN.. haha but i guess thats the point.. any recommendations for one that looks decent and has good battery life? ... i suspect i will need to jump on that hzboot requirement..
Im not familiar with the glite rom. From what i could read on the thread it is designed to be lite. Im currently running the latest version of mimicry. Its pretty smooth and has amazing battery life for an ics rom. Im not sure what you meant by the changing the hzboot. You can always install the eng hboot for the g2. However you will need to install the desire z hboot for trying out sense roms. Ill also recommend installing 4ext recovery instead of clockwork.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I just downgraded/rooted/installed a new ROM yesterday. I went with Mimicry 1.3.2. There's plenty of cool features with that ROM. My favorites are the customizable lock screen (add up to 4 shortcuts), quick torch (hold power button while screen is off and your LED light will turn on), customizable battery icons (5 choices, 4 of which have percentages), shortcuts in the notifications screen (very useful). The ROM itself doesn't have many apps installed aside from the gapps you had to install.
The Aroma installer made everything a breeze. I also like how the WiFi calling package along with other tweaks were options in the installer. I would definitely recommend this ROM!
I am finding Mimicry good, too, and there's 1.4.0 now, just since yesterday
Like Deadeye, and indeed just a few hours earlier, I also rooted and installed Mimicry 1.3.2 yesterday. I am much impressed, and think it's a good choice for starters. Make sure you get 4ext recovery at some point, it makes changing ROMs so easy that you can always try another if you want...I've heard good things about several...aokp and elite mod are being used by people who helped me root, for example.
Just do a backup and flash any rom in the g2 developement section, you'll be good to go
If you plan on installing any sense Rom you need to install desire z hboot this will give you more system space and less space for apps 500mb and 1Gb respectively
Just google desire z hboot for g2 you will get it from there for an ics sense 4 Rom try gen y visionX B5 that's the best out there
