[Q] To flash custom ROM or not?

Hey,
Have a couple of questions
Is it worth flashing custom ROM ?
Is there a lot of speed or tweek improvements ?
Is it better to have Sense rom or naked android?
What rom You can advise for flashing ?
And what criteria most important on choosing custom Rom ?
Thank You very very much for answers!

Here we go:
1. You are asking this question in THIS forum? You've got to be kidding
2. Yes
3. If you need sense and its widgets and apps, then stick with it. I don't like sense so i choose a faster rom without it.
4. This depends on your taste... I love DeFrost
5. Depends on your personal taste (battery, speed, appearance....)

1. Depends what you want to use your phone for
2. Yes, if you need them
3. I prefer Sense, don't like stock Android
4. I'm on stock FroYo for Sense (the official HTC 2.2 release)
5. Depends on what you want to use your phone for - my Quadrant score is 2nd only to the Nexus One 2.2+

Double-post rubbishness

yes it's much better....and rooted
just damn hard which to choose.

1. Yes, but only if you are aware and willing to accept the voiding of your warranty.
2. I haven't noticed any speed difference between rooted and non rooted, but obviously, you can 'tweak' the OS much more on rooted ROM.
3. I like Sense. Some love it, some hate it. See point 5 for further comment.
4. I use the first released and cleanest/least-modified rooted HTC 2.2 at... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663
5. Personally, I want a rooted ROM with A2SD+/EXT support and nothing else changed from the official OTA.
P.S. no matter which ROM you go for, it's CRITICAL that you do a full-wipe, including Davlik cache, and that you also install the 5.09.00.20 Radio.

sorry, duplicate post

Thanks every one!! now i must to think what rom i want to flash

IMO the sense keyboard is much much better, dunno if you can get it on stock, never checked.

[Q] back to original themes

hello
I am new member
Thanks for support
I had rooted my desire phone and installed a redux rom
but it is changed my original themes
I tried many ROMs (called no theme)
But the theme still not as the original
Now I need to make it back to original theme, But I don't Know how to do this?
or
suggest me a new stable rom with original theme and support AP2SD+
Sorry for my english ...​

I don't know if there is a real "original" rom. Try a sense rom. It is like the original (only a few changes - to the newer sense).
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018843;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170633 - just the roms which were with the newest posts not the "best" ones (I don't use a sense rom therefore I don't know which "the best one" )

Thanx for reply
but I don't need the best ROM or newest Rom Just I need to rom like the original comes with Desire with a2sd plus.
no one backup the original rom before flashing custom one?
I think that backup will help me.
any another help?????
That is so bad for me

You cannot use original (stock) desire with a2sd+. So what you want, is impossible.

Not so true.

Teppic74 did a totally stock ROM, with init.d support just in case. You can install that rom + A2SD+ and have a stock rom with A2SD+!

[Q] Unofficial BravoS: any chance of a Data2SD/Data2EXT version?

Hi there,
I've been using Unofficial BravoS ROM for the past three days and I find it excellent for its speed and stability; the only thing I really don't like is APP2SD, I came from a Data2SD rom (Supernova) and I was accustomed to its incredible storage space. Is it possible to have a Data2SD version of coolexe's Rom?
Thanks in advance

Have u tried D2WE?

Yes, as it fits SYSTEM partition.

I'm into rooting/modding only since june, so I'm afraid modding a rom is beyond my skills... however I've read somewhere that other developers (AlexV maybe?) wanted to create a data2ext version, so I posted here since I'm not able to ost in the developers section...

looking for a rom

im new to rooting and flashing. im ready to root and flash a rom but i dont know what roms will work or not work.
i have a us cell htc desire 2.2 cdma hboot 1.06
gonna use revolutionary to do it.
could someone recommend a decent user friendly rom for a noob

First ROMs I used were the LeeDroid Froyo versions. Very straight forward and easy to use.
Most here would recommend the CyanogenMod ROMs, or Oxygen. MIUI is popular, but I read just as many bad things as good with that one. Of the GingerSense ROMs, you can't go past RCMix, InsertCoin or LeeDroid. There are also CrystalPyramid and CoolSensation, but I would consider those a little more advanced than the others listed.
In all honesty, most ROMs are pretty easy to use. Some require a little more setting up of partitions or the like, but there's not alot to be scared of.
Good luck!!

this there any roms that i can just flash and go?
is there a certain CyanogenMod ROM you could recommend?
i dont know how to do partitions on my sd. just want the easiest thing yo flash, i wouldn't mind a rom with ginerbeard..

you can use gparted, or minitool partition (I used it and it's simple as..)

after a lot of testing im now on latest leedroid. Stable and fast, any issues.
U should give it a try! Install with full cache, davlic, data wipe - and it will work without any probs

from what i found on google this afternoon theres not many roms that work with htc desire (bravoC)?

will this work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124810
what does this mean?"You must have an ext 2/3/4 partition on ur SD-Card (512MB - 1GB recommended)"

SGBS is for GSM Desire only ... sorry
That means that you MUSt have an second partition on your SD-Card, because some system files are there and A2SD+ needs the scond one.

damn is there one like that but for cdma ?

this there a rom like the one i posted the link for but cdma instead?
any of these work?

Stock Rom 2.2 or 2.3 for CM7r2 with A2SD support out there?

Hi folks,
I am still having trouble with all the custom roms now and then. I am fed up with testing roms every month. Just want a device that is reliable!
Therfore I am looking for a rom that combines the essential advantages of the community efforts with the quality of the carefully tested stock rom. Only the option to maximize the memory for some more apps and AdFree are a must have.
The features should be as following:
- Stock 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (Gingerbread) original Desire-Base from HTC
- rooted
- A2SD support
- Cm7r2 hboot compatible
- AdFree capable
Is there any rom out there that can provide that?
Thanks for your help!
Max
Roms that are close:
Rooted 2.2 with A2SD but no CM7r2 - possible to modify for CM7r2?

That query could be answered if you bothered to look in this thread, stock roms are Sense 1.9 so you could browse for those fitting the description.
This is probably closest to requirements.
Virtually any rom can be shrinked to CM7r2 using this guide.

yeah, I already saw that list, but none of those roms is for CM7r2 hboot. This would help to reduce the amount of apps that need to be moved to /ext

You got the concept wrong. You have to do nothing for apps to go to ext.
Rom I linked fits into CM7r2. Any rom with /system <=145MB fits CM7r2.

I think the Redux rom meets your requirement

Hey guys,
thank you for all your suggestions.
Now I am happy with An-Droid, as erklat recommended.
Data++ hboot
An-Droid Rom
WidgetLocker for lockscreen with ring (because the lockscreen was one of the main reasons I switched to custom roms with sense 3.0)
