Hey.
I got my desire 2 days ago.
Can I update from htc software (sync) or do I have to update from Rom?
Is the Droidleak Rom or what its called better than stock 2.2 sense(the one with 100 users in Rom vote)?
Will 2.3 come from htc or only from xda in Rom?
I previously owned x10i and is therefore new to the whole Rom thing

the only 2 ways you can update roms are.
1) unrooted users can download and install ota (over the air) updates straight from the phone.
2) rooted users can just donwlad the lastest custom roms with the updates included.
there is maybe a 1% chance that htc will officialy release gingerbread for the desire, although its almost certain that we will be amoungst the first devices to get custom gingerbread roms, just because the desire is almost exactly the same as the N1, which untill the Samsung N2S is released, is the official google developer phone.
Tnx. I think I understand now.
Should I bother installing roms before gingerbread, is it a performance jump?

i think the performance boost came in froyo, gingerbred is more of a visual upgrade than a perfomance one.
I ment:
is it better to use ROM from android development or just use stock sense, which came with my phone until gingerbread is rolled out?
I think the sense firmware (2.2) that came with my phone is fast enough, the only things i would like to achieve with a ROM is better battery life, and is there any new features or something? (i see that hotspot is in my phone as default(NICE)
tnx for helping a newbie to desire out
The only reason I have found to instal a custom ROM is because of the APP2SD+ which gives much more space for apps.. i tried new kernels and hacks but nothing proved to me that indeed i have more juice in it You can root just for the heck of it in order to experiment for yourself
Hi guys,
I need to know which DHD rom will be the fastest and most reliable for my desire, at the moment I'm using ownhere's desire HD rom but it is a bit laggy and chews battery.
Thanks in advance
I'm stuck on Cool Sense HD v7 (link see my sig - v7 is released as beta later in the thread). It's as fast as any stock froyo and works absolutely stable for me. Will never go back to sense1...
InsertCoin 1.9.1 is damn fast, never had lags, battery life is around 24-36hrs on medium usage.
I'm using iNsertCoin 1.8h and it's very good.
I'm using RCMixHD v3.0 a2sd+.
This one is very fast and stable.
I've already used this for over one week and no any problem!

Seriously a whole day worth of use, I'm going to have to try this one.
Will tell you how it goes.

I will never go back to sense 1 either, I'll try it. Apparently I was running an older version of ownheredesirehd so I updated it and have no more lag issues, I consistently get around 2600 on benchmark now

Well I tried it but only got about 8hrs of battery, quite good but I think I will try some others or maybe just wait for HTC to release 2.3 with new sense.

how come there are quite big differences between sizes of desire HD roms? some are 180ish mb, and other over 250...
insertcoin 1.9.5 is just perfect

I want to update my desire hd to sense 3.5. I want to know which ROM is best, and method to update it. I haven't rooted my desire hd. I m currently running 2.3.3 with sense 2.1.
I have one more question, does overclocking affect the battery life of the mobile? and does over clocking heat up the mobile?
Runny 4.0 has 3.5 and virtuious affinity and a few others all are good,capys 4.0 has more tweaks but its what you like,try sense 3.0 Roma first as they are also good!
As for root...try the ace hack kit
As for battery life its a debated subject,there's a thread with info in

And yeah overclocking can cause issues I did it once lol never again.the phone just died...

Hey guys I thought it would be interesting to start a poll to find out what are the android versions that people are using on our 2+years old HTC Desire.
For me, I'm running ics.. what about you guys???

Most are using Gingerbread. Some are on ICS. Any user who is still on Froyo at this point probably doesn't have any idea about rooting and or XDA or just wanna be left alone in the past.
No need for a poll or a thread really.

Ye.
Best rom thread with a flavor twist.
I'm on ICS now (miui v4)
MIUI 2.3 working perfectly
ICS too ! With the rom of dk_zero-cool.
Everything runs fast on my old device
would be interesting who is still on 2.1
I think that was the shipping version, right?
Still using xj miui 2.3
Currently on off GB, downloading runnymede's sense 3.5 rom
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
I'm on Miui ICS... !!! Best ROM ever
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
I'm using ICS from DK_Zero-Cool (v3.3u1). Most stable one i've experienced until now
MIUI XJ since New year, probably will try with some Sense ROM soon
I'm still using CM7.2 RC1. Very stable and fast.
Could anyone explain to me why everybody is so hyped about ICS? I mean I appreciate what the devs of ICS ROMs do and it's great that they make ICS possible on our old Desires.
I tried Sandvold's ROM and BCM. They're quite good and making good progess, but I always came back to CM7.
I actually don't see a point in switching to ICS (yet) unless you like flashing and testing new ROMs, because CyanogenMod 7 and other 2.3 ROMs seem more stable and faster and they have all the features ICS offers.
Is it the looks of ICS or just that it's new and you want to test it?
I'll probably switch over eventually, but at the moment I'm just curious what you like about ICS.
I'm giving my old HTC Desire to my friend, but before I do I want to flash the best ROM for a laymen's use, in terms of stability, battery life and speed.
Personally, I have a Galaxy Nexus with JB and I love it - I think JB heralds a new era in which android finally shows that iOS is just hype and not god.
I've seen there are ROMs right the way up to Jelly Bean, which I find pretty amazing considering the age of the Desire handset - however, there must be quite a few issues to iron out, and I doubt that my friend, who will be more worried about his phone working than whether it's up to date with android, will appreciate these issues.
So which ROM would you recommend? Quick answers appreciated cause I need to give him the phone within two hours! Lol
Thanks for your help
CM or Oxygen. U wont have any problems with either

Stable Rom
I really enjoy Mr. mephisto and RSK team rom, the 3.5 sense is awsome and the AMAZE cam is.. well.. AMAZING.
I have it for almost 2 months now.
It gives the old Desire a great new look!
and with the aroma installer is super customized.

And is that stable enough without any freezes and bsod?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
No freezes, running smoother than any other rom i had.
you need S-off with CM7 and 4EXT touch recovery.
Everything is written in the Thread.

It's beautiful and stable, but it's too heavy (read slow) even on fast sd. If you have to sell the phone, just install stock rom (with sense), or an aosp like cm7 or oxygen.
No man, install stock Oxygen rom , create partition ext4 for a2sd. And that is it. Rom is completely bug free, and it has bedt battery life. Speed is great, and no laggs at all !

Cool droid v3 with primo theme.
I have to agree. Cool Droid v3 is the stable and cool GB ROM for me.
Stuck to this after trying many many ROMs out there.

U wouldnt happen to have a working link to COOL DROID v3 ?
The only reason I might even consider changing this rom I'm using would be somewhat poor multitasking. But I think I'll most likely need to finally upgrade to a better device.

Erklat, why don't you try cool droid? I find multitasking good on that one. I had the rom you're using before, and it's one of the best, but cool droid is even better.... I am sure you'll like it.

Oxygen 2.3.2 + thalamus r4 kernel. Use Oxygen r2 hboot. If You need more space, with GParted make ext3 or ex4 partition.
I've found it best combination (almost one year using it). It's not full of widgets like Sense roms, but You can install Fancy Wigdets or Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather similar to Sense.
I put the last stable version of miui on my dads desire, and it runs perfectly so far. Using the 2.3.7 os which is pretty stable.idk about battery life tho
