welcome to the desire community yes we have HD roms in the android development section, but the devs dont have the camera working yet .... there are loads of great roms in the development section so maybe you should try a few, see what ones you like the best
One piece of advice - read, read and read some more!!!
And search lots before asking questions as it's likely to have already been answered
Enjoy your stay!!
P.S. the HD port on the Desire is awesome!!!
I would advice you to lurk the forums, pick up tips and experiences about roms. If you like the sense UI i recommend LeeDroid mod. If you don't like sense i'd advice you to try out OpenDesire by AdamG or DeFroST by richardtrip. Good luck, and have fun

Hi guys,
I am a new desire user, coming from the HTC Hero so I'm quite familiar with Android, HTC, rooting and all other stuff.
On the Hero I was running villainROM 12.0 (as far as I remember, that was the last ROM I tested), so now I'm looking for a food, stable ROM to run on my Desire.
Any advice ?
Before you tell me to search the forum: I already did and all my searches didn't come with a clear answer so a little advice would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot

If you read the ROM info it very clearly states if it's a stable ROM or not.
Basically any rom that's not a BETA or RC is stable. Even the betas and RCs are often stable.
And this is a development forum. Not questions & answers.
Also: Read the "Desire Index". It's sticked - it's a good read.
Welcome to the Desire community! ;-)
You could use the SuperVillain HD if you want something familiar(?):

If you need something with Sense, I would go for the most popular ROM ever created for Desire(LeeDroid):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Or the new iPhone-alike MIUI is very popular as well!
Lots of options really!
Thanks hallydamaster,
that's exactly the type of info I was looking for. I'll try Leedroid at first and will look closely into MIUI.

How does this belong to the developer section?
If you have been to Android community and xda, you should know better than posting something that irrelevant to the DEVELOPMENT section.
There is General section and there is F&A.

agreed (actually it's Q&A)
Well wrong forum advice aside.
For NonSense - CyanogenMod, OpenDesire (I havent tried Defrost)
For iphone look alike - MIUI, i love how it is fast but iphonish makes me uncomfortable.
For Sense - I used to use NexTSense(now changed name to AuraXtSense), LeeDroid(currently using)

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Read up more and ask questions, all the information is on here. Tbh, if you're not sure what youre doing you shouldn't have even rooted
I haven't rooted that's why I'm asking for help
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
The thing is that all the info you need to root is already here and probably repeated at least 100 times in individual [q] threads.
The most beginner friendly guide is probably Turkey's.
When you have root and learn to flash a custom rom, go to the Desire Index and look for one of the "Sense HD ROMS", choose one flash it and you are done .
Hey,
So first off I dont have a Desire I have a DHD so am in no way familiar with the D in any way.
A friend is wondering wether to get the normal D or the DHD and has asked if you can flash DHD roms onto the normal D?
I see theres HD roms already but I dont yet know the difference.
Is it that simple or do the chefs have to take the DHD rom and convert it to the D?
Cheers, appreciate the help
You can flash the DHD based roms that are in the Desire section. So yes, it's that simple.
Sorry, might not have been clear.
I meant the DHD roms from the DHD section?
Weather they had to be recooked or if they could flash straight?
no you dont take roms from DHD section and flash them on desire
you go to desire android dev section, and there we have roms ported from dhd to fit desire
Cool,
Thats what I wanted to know.
Hi all,
Very new to this forum and android. Last december 2010 I got a new Desire HD which I have started using now lol!!! previous phone was a nokia n96!!
This there a voting list for custom roms for the Desire HD to see which rom's are mostly installed by fellow members.
I have had my phone unlocked by t-mobile, I really want to install a custom rom, currently it has 1.72.
not sure which is the best if any rom to install. I have been looking at Android Revolution HD 6.1.5 which seems good to me.
your help and feedback on this topic would greatly be appreciate.
many thanks
install rom
having your phone unlocked won't allow you to install custom roms, your phone has to be rooted with s-off before you can install roms, there are tutorials in this forum on how to do this and what software you need ie aahk, multitool etc. also search is your friend but do read the tutorials then read them again.
[Poll] which rom do you have
Threads like this only lead to flame wars. A search would have showed you this.
Thread closed
thank you very much for your help
my mate has got a desire hd . but its on a old android version.
ive had a look and it seems like htc wont be upgrading to a newer android .
whats the best rom to put on it ? any help would be gr8
Hi @iainbp,
Unfortunately what is the "best" for some, isn't the "best" for others.
Usually asking this question allows the hordes of fans for ROM A to bash those of ROM B.
The best advice anyone can give is to try a few yourself, and find out what works best for you.
Thanks
