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)

due to there is no official 2.2 from htc you must flash a cooked rom. Within the cooked rom you'll find the flashing procedure.
Thanks but what is cooked rom
First thread, sticky in this section; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 explains it all, you even have video-tutorials

I do agree that you really should read at least some information in the sticky threads before asking such a basic question, but i took the time below anyway, but afterwards please let those sticky's answer your questions
A cooked ROM is either a freshly compiled version of android, or a port. Then there are numerous advantages and addons, the common one is that you always have root-acces, basically "administrative" access to things that stock-roms try to keep you away from.
Cooked roms was especially great some time ago, when android didn't provide tethering support (internet sharing), paid apps was more limited, hardware on phones was more restricted and with cooked roms you could overclock the cpu, move applications to your sdcard and have a linux-kernel that left you with more available RAM.
Then there's often other hacks and cooked roms are almost always faster than stock-roms.
The only disadvantages is that by messing with these kinda things you void your garantuie. Most of the time, rooting is safe and tested before published, but if youre flashing a newe radio-version or spl (a separate part, not the actual ROM) there is a risk for "brick" leaving your phone unusable in some case.
That said, if you experience some kind of hardware issue that you know isnt related to the ROM, you can "unroot" your device, basically put back the original rom so that it doesnt appear modified at the repair center.
Desire is very easy to root, a simple script you run on your computer updates your stock rom with a rooted one, leaving your settings and all as it was, but with root acces and the posibility so change rom if you like
I would suggest, respectfully, that if the OP does not know what a cooked rom is, or that there is no official 2.2 as of yet, that perhaps trying to root may not be something they do until they've read up on it a lot more.

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
Dear all developers;
1st, I know that xda-developers had everything, but really I become very confused what to use and how.
as ICS and JB ROM incresed, and Desire HD start to become limited resourced for these ROMs, and alot of leader developers start to switch to newer models, I start to feel that this forum become so confused.
1st request, plz, Can any interested developer build an updated comprehensive threat for kernels not like this threat because I spend 3 days of searching the whole net for list of compatible kernels for desire HD and its ROMs.
2nd request, plz, As I mentioned above, regarding limited resourced of DHD. Can any interested developer build and update comprehensive threat for app2sd, link2sd,.... that compatible with Desire HD.
3rd request, how to add international keyboard for stock IME, I read every where and can't find my request.
Finally, sorry to open new threat here but really I'm so confused.

1. That index thread is actually pretty updated; it's missing a couple of the newest JB ones and a couple ICS ones, but the maintainer is currently busy with school in real life and will get to it when he can. In the meantime, the currently active ROMs generally crowd around the top of the dev forum, since people comment on those threads the most. Are you looking for kernels in specific, or ROMs? If you are looking for kernels, is there a reason you don't like the kernels that come with the respective ROMs? Those usually work the best.
2. There are many apps in the Play Store that allow you to move apps to the sdcard (Titanium Backup, Rom Toolbox/App Manager, Apps2SD, etc.). Is that what you are asking for?
3. Can't answer that, no idea.
and 4. This is the development forum, for posting ROMs and other contributions. Please put things like this in Q&A in the future.
The questions and answers section exists for a reason...
I spent all last 2 months searching for a soulutions, I tried dta2sd, datalink, EXT4++, native ROM edit for sd-ext but nothing work, some advices was to change kernel, but till now nothing works, if scripts can create sd-ext folder & move all data folder into, the phone stuck in reboot loop.
Advice plz

Hi Guys,
First post here, been doing alot of reading on these great forums with regards to Rooting and custom ROMs.
Rooted and Flashed my first custom ROM today, UK Spec One X now with ClockworkMod and Cyanogenmod10 all working great.
Just a Thank you really to everybody on here who has taken the time to develop and document these mods, esp to Hasoon2000 for his All-In-One Toolkit V2.1 - Awesome bit of Kit mate
Cheers,
Rich.
That's so unnecessary that you are posting such a thread -_- ....if you want to thank the dev's or so then go to their thread an click on thanks...and then post thanks for the great things to make such things possible or so ...but it's really unnecessary that you are posting such a thread...i can laugh about such threads/people

This thread is as Off-Topic as it gets. The only excuse is the fact that you are new to this site. This excuse only is valid once .
Hi ALL
I am very new to this forum and very little knowledge about ROM installation or (upgrading Mobile OS). This is a fact that there is no official Operating System update (sandwich or jelly beans OS) for HTC desire HD. However, custom made OS for HTC are available. According to my understanding these custom made mobile OS are called ROMs (consfusing for non-technical person) but every day is a learning day. I come to the point, the purpose of this thread to understand all this process to update my HTC desire HD. I have got few questions to ask which are as follows.
1. My HTC Desire HD is locked on "3" network. Can I still install Rom?
2. I need to know A-Z process in a simple and plain english please. I need step by step guide or in simple words "ROM for Dummies"
3. Which Rom is better? ( I know that this question could not be answered but for your conveniance I am giving these options which were I found from some website
1. MIUI
2. ParanoidAndroid
3. PAC Rom
4. AOKP
5. Cyanogenmod
6. AOSP
Could anyone answer all these question please?
Thanks
Riz
The first two questions have already been answered time and time again on these forums. Start with the Ace Think Tank thread in DHD General. Your third question is not permitted because every person has a different "better" ROM. Each has different features; you'll just need to try it for yourself.
