Fav ROM? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

which roms do u guys like the most? and please say why?
i am currently using HOTSAUCE ROM and loving it. but battery life was draining way to quick.
VIDEO TAKING WAS LIMITED to 30 minutes.
so i installed Virtuous v0.9.0 Sense but wasnt very customizable so i switched back to HOTSAUCE ROM.
also has unlimited time for VIDEO TAKING.
(video is important to me)

GingerVillain 1.5
Why?
I like gingerbread, it's fast, OC'd @ 1,4 GHZ and battery life is pretty good.

CyanogenMod. It's the best. 'nuff said.

select the link in the post, advanced kernel allows OC to 1.49ghz but requires setcpu parameters.

I've tried a lot of roms, and let me say that Virtuous is an awesome rom if you like the Sense UI. Awesome. I just had a problem with one app fc'ing all the time, so I started trying others. I am staying on the Cyanogen Nightlies, because they run so quickly and smoothly, especially with pershoot kernel.
I have not tried GingerVillain since I'm having so much fun with the nightlies.

Camera Touch Focus/ROM?

For my own personal needs, I need a video camera that can
focus when touched.
And the only rom I can do this on is Virtuous.
But battery life on Virtuous isn't as decent as Cyonagen.
I need a rom with Cyonagen battery life and Virtuous camera options.
And suggestions??

I get awesome battery life running Virtuous 0.9.5 and the Standard v2.1.1 kernel. What version of Virtuous and what kernel are you using? I don't need anything over 1.0 GHz, and not going over that gives me superb battery life without skimping on performance.

I'm on 1.0.1 with stock kernel
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
What version of the kernel are you running? The latest is 2.1.1. If you initially installed Virtuous 1.0.0 and upgraded to 1.0.1, I believe the kernel version is different. I'd recommend flashing the 2.1.1 standard kernel if that's not what is currently installed on your phone.
Do you have lots of widgets on your homescreens? Just not sure why you're not getting good battery life.

This is my same exact question Lmao
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
The question about porting the Sense camera to CM or other ROMs has been asked a bunch of times on these forums. It hasn't been done yet, that I know of. It would be great. The Sense camera is excellent, and just about the only thing I miss from the Sense ROM.

[Q] Which ROM?

Alright guys I feel like I've flashed like ten different senseless roms by now with no dice... I'm looking for a Rom that has the gingerbread look and feel of OMFGB, salvage mod, or cm 7 but that still incorporates sense features. The sense features I really want are the contact list with Facebook sync and the camera apk..... with the sense camera a user can tap the screen where they want it to focus.... this is a big deal to me and all gingerbread roms so far can't do these things.... the closest thing I've found to my liking is skyraider Athena but unfortunately Athena is froyo...... I want gingerbread. Any help?

I agree, if you're still wanting sense but with a couple cm7 features then skyraider fits the bill.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The above statements are factual.... Skyraider 4.0 is the way to go
Alright....so Skyraider is a bit too sense-y for my liking....I didn't want full sense but rather sense apps....BUT I actually forgot posted this thread til just now and hadn't seen any replys..I actually ended up flashing Skyraider 4.0 before I even saw recommendations....let me just say this is the best Rom in the world. I didn't like sense because it was laggy but the way that sense is incorporated in this build is beautiful. I flashed chads 12/23 kernel on it and the combination is awesome...and it runs seamlessly while underclocked to 844! Plus my battery life is just beautiful compared to other roms....and no overheating problems! I have found my phones god send lol.thank you guys for the help and to anyone reading this thread that hasn't tried SR 4.0 I really recommend you give it a shot. Thanks guys

Not sure if you have tried it yet but you might want to check out Lou's #8 kernel for your SkyRaider. I had really good results using it, but you millage may vary.
Lous kernels confuse me....I don't understand all the multi touch hocus pocus
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Multitouch is just the ability for the phone to recognize 3-10 separate touch points simultaneously. Only use I know of is for gaming with emulators where you have your controls on screen.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Its older but a good senseless rom is skyraider athena. Get it on rom manager.

Faster because it is almost stock Android and no additional hacks like in CM7 + Needs less space on system partition (because of no added apps).
Cheers for the reply, I assume to take advantage of that extra space I need to s-off and use custom hboot right?
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
I only used MIUI aosp RoM its very fast and smooth
CyanogenMOD 7
I used it for 2 months and never have problems with it!
GingerVillain, Cyanogenmod
Cyanogen. In my experience the fastest ROM my phone's ever seen.
or try MIUI if you're looking for a whole new UI experience - it's pretty damn good. Can't bring myself to change it

Nah you need not, but if you want the extra space you should.
Also it's down to preferences, but my experience also give the win to oxygen hands down. CM is nice in its own way, but at some points it's just disturbingly complex(yes you get a lot of extra features which is unneeded for me) and many times it stutter at some user-interactions, where oxygen just feels more solid as well as minimal to me.
Redux 1.2. No word of a lie.
HTC Desire, Redux 1.2, S-OFF, CM7 HBOOT.
Tried the latest CM7 but it was rather 'sluggish'... Now tried Redux 1.2 and it's really really nice. DIdn't try Oxygen, perhaps I'll do it when I have some time, but not right now!
For me Oxygenrom offers the best performance. Battery life is also quite good
So I've been running Oxygen 2.2 then 2.2.1 and now I'm on the Redux2 snapshot. Still hard to choose between them. But because it's complete, I would change my suggestion to Oxygen.
PHONE: HTC Desire GSM, S-OFF
ROM: Redux2 Snapshot 18082011
RADIO: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
KERNEL: thalamus 2.6.35.14_r1
Oxygen is the best since it is minimal so that you can add many things accordingly to your needs.
Whats best is subjective. Whats fastest depends on how you use your phone. The fastest ROM I have tried is Redux 1.2
Also, just because something is close to stock doesn't automatically mean its going to be faster.
Fastest and best aosp I've found is GingerVillain 2.8
All the benefits of CM7 but with the added tweaks from Richard Trip.
(Found the home screens were a little sluggish when going from one to another when I first started using it, but then added Launcher Pro to it and now it flies!)

Is Quattro using the cm settings ? The latest build from lordmod is back to evervolv and I don't like it at all Hopefully this is the last build with it and the next will be with the fully functionning CM Settings !!

Yes, he's just waiting for CM Settings to be ready, so evervolv is temporary... cm settings is in another branch and the latest build is with evervolv. I think he's making a build with CM settings about now.

Virtuous has been good to me
I'm happily set on QUATTRO, but maybe one day I'll try LC.

MIUI 4 ICS \o/
Right now, im am on Virtuous Quattro RC3. This works very good at daily use..!
Don't trust a beta rom which calls itself a release candidate.
I'm on virt now. Tried all of them but like the quatro settings.

+1 for Lord's IceColdSandwich. He released 1.2.0 today and I've been using it as a daily driver. He's real focused on the development activity and builds are being fired off every day. It takes some effort to keep up, but he's real responsive and fixing a lot of stuff. Camera is hit or miss for most folks, but I can deal with it.
lordmod
1. I like the widget buttons on the notification drawer
2. I can use UV tools with LorDmodUE kernel
I'm on Virtuous Quattro RC3, with Lord's latest kernel. 5 days now, so far so good. Between IceColdSandwich and Virtuous Quattro, I don't think either will disappoint you.

Like the others suggested it all kind of depends on how you use your phone. I used mine as mp3 player and about 1hour of browsing a day. Only occasional calls a texts, but I found the latest oxygen gingerbread rom with launcher pro plus to be great.

Any Sense ROM
I get 36 hours using it normally on any Sense ROM (2.1, 3.0 or 3.5)
etc. ncessuch
I have dont have the most experience but of the roms I have tried, I found MokeeOS to have the best battery life - about 36 hours with texts, facebook & email checking and maps use.
I have used the following ROMs
1. stock sense
2. MIUI-AU
3.MIUI-XJ
4. MIUI Mararge
5. MokeeOS
6. Jellybean pre-alfa
I like MokeeOS the best but really like some of Jelly Beans features even though not everything works

Hmmm, in general Sense ROMs are the most battery-draining of all, especially the 3 and 3.5 ones (just imagine that the stock Desire came with just a version of Sense 1.0).
Rule of thumb is that the more "stripped" the ROM, the better the battery life will be. Therefore any AOSP ROM will generate maximum battery life.
It depends, but you can try any of the miui ROMs, or if you prefer sense ROMs you can try aurora.
A AOSP like oxygen or CM based rom should be fine.
For CM based kernels use ManU HAVS BFS Kernel or CronMod Kernel. Both are great oh battery!
For oxygen use Thalamus kernel or mod8 (which is the same thing with Smartass cpu governor).
