[Q] Light weight rom - Desire General

Hello Fellaz!
Im new user with desire and now im seeking light weight + stable + fast rom.
I managed to root my phone nicely, installed few roms and ended up using LeeDroid for now. It seems much better than original.
Q2: Whats the best way to get totally rid of bloatware(peep,twitter,stocks, etc..)
-Samo

The easiest way is to remove the .apks from the zip before you flash, but you can use adb commands to remove them, like here.

I keep forgetting to remove footprints. Stupid piece of junk!

Redux rc6 clean small light weight gingerbread rom, an use the oxygen Hboot and you will have 295mb internal free for apps

Try CyanogenMod 6.1.1. Fast, stable and amazing. For removing stock apps you can use AppAdmin (free app on Market).

I believe Oxygen 2.0 is the smallest right now. Awesome ROM.

Redux rc6 is also, it fits in oxygen Hboot and have the same amount of free space for apps,
Also has working video camera and updated market.
I love oxygen 2.0 but I'm waiting for the N1 OTA update before I go back, redux just feels smoother and more responisve, also comes with CPU settings inbuilt, also has amazing battery life

Thanks guys for the nice replys.
Running now with redux, super smooth and battery wise.
BIG THANKS
-Samo

i would say Redux rc6 ! it's superfast and stable, not a single reboot or anything.
EDIT: i was too slow

running CM7 with ~220MB RAM Free, when i was on the stock 2.2 Sense with mostly the same apps i had only ~90MB free

I'm pretty sure another rom won't make your sd-card faster, so if that is the reason, what makes you think changing roms will help?
Errm im not looking to speed up my sd card
I just need ROM with 720p and sense working like on stock.
I dont think there are any GB roms at the moment that can give you smooth 720p recording. Actually i believe that the phone itself simply cant do it. I ve done a lot of testing with different roms but all of them had crappy 720 recording.
So I stick with cm7 nightlies, expecting the official release of GB and hoping for a better kernel and better drivers that may fix the problem.
Frankly, I think recommending ports which are notorious for their camera performance is silly. I think there was only one aosp rom which had acceptable playback, but no recording.
Stock sense gb 2.3.3 ROM , don't care bout quadrant , everything runs fine , sense 3.0 looks good and even 720p work's

InsertCoin is very nice, both nightly and stable work fine
If you like LeeDroid try 2.5 - From memory it has decent camera performance.
SGBS is very nice! Try it!

I really love MIUI!
I'm using it since version 1.7.1 and now I using the latest rom (1.7.15), it's just great!

Superb ROM - Once I'd managed to install it (only recently acquired a Desire from a Hero upgrade) it's been excellent.
I can't find fault: Bluetooth (inc car kit), camera, video, iPlayer, GPS, Speed etc etc all running nice and smooth.

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!)

[Q] What ROM do you use on your Desire?

Hi everyone,
Any suggestions for ROMs to try out on my Desire?
I've run both cyanogen and MIUI and I like them both... but trying some more out would be fun too.
A link to any suggested ROMs would also be appreciated.
Oxygen 2.3.1 with GO Launcher EX. (GB 2.3.7)
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewforum.php?id=7
for trackball wakeup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063578
I'm Using Oxygen for a long time now.
even thought it isn't heavily customizeable as the CM7,
it has enough feature as setCPU, power widgets on top...
but! the main feature is speed. it's working extremely smooth, and latest gingerbread.
i love it.
I've used and tried a lot of roms for both AOSP and Sense. I do prefer AOSP. I used to use CM7 but I use MIUI now. Want keen on other AOSP roms.
Punched in..
At the moment I´m testing between Revolution 1.7 and Runny 3.x
Revolution seems stable, but sense 3.5 looks good.

Looks interesting, I'll give it a try. I find MIUI very smooth too, and the battery life is also great.
I dont think you even need to guess what ROM I use
I'm using this sense 3.5 candy.
Stock GB by Neophyte. And I'm through with constant flashing. I had enough of that nice big cup of bugs.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
GingerVillain 3.3 (aosp), RT's 3.1 HAVS kernel, Go Launcher Ex.
Smooth, stable, no lags or fc's, good battery life, launcher is highly customizable. Keep trying Sense rom's (3.0 and 3.5) but always come back to this
Cyanogen 7.1 and I love it.
Insertcoin Sense 1.1.3..
...although I'm getting tempted by Sense 3.5 Roms.
I use Redux 2 . Clean, fast, stable.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
AOSP ROMs are the best for me (IMHO, sense roms are too overloaded) and there it's currently rootSU's dGB rom which is the best for me. Smooth (smoothest AOSP ever used), clean (uses only 60 MB of /system), stable and very nice battery life with ManU 1.4 (kernel)vipermod (for lowering CPU voltage) and setcpu (for controlling cpu frequencies).
But maybe I will test redux in the near future, because it was my first AOSP rom and I liked it very much. However, dGB hasn't given me any reason to this yet.
I thought you'd gone to cm7.1?

I'm using this one as well, currently version 3.6. Fast and stable, only minor bugs, looking forward to 4.0 w/ wifi fixed! Wish it had Google CarMode preinstalled though, can't get it running. And hope the bootlogo gets changed, that jingle is annoying.

SuperNova Extreme By Droidzone
Well I have tried SuperNova Extreme By Droid Zone.
However The only problem I am experiencing right now is that My Phone just hangs up. And I have to pull the batteries out. Tried several ROMs such as Pyramid 007
SuperNova Extreme Gingerburst etc but the Phone just hangs and I have to pull the battery out sometimes 10 - 20 time a day and that's why I switched back to CM7.1.
Hey anderl78 what about your ROM do you think such problems exist.

I haven't seen such problem till now. Sounds like a undervolt or overheating issue. You can try it and we will see what we can do.

I used alex-v froyo rom for some while and very happy with it.
It's very close to the original htc stock rom, but I had about 100 apps installed.
Now changing to alex-v's gingerbread rom...
Also very close to the original htc stock rom..but promises ENDLESS memory.
;-)
I run the runny AIO 5.0.3 nu sebastiaan15. If you are s -off and have a 1gb ext4 partition on your sd choose the AP2SDX. I have around 700 MB left for my apps

Have given Runnymede another try (four days), but to me it still lags a bit too much.
Good suggestions.
Although I want one that has a gingerbread quick settings and gingerbread power and data dashboard apps (I've tried apps from the market but they're nothing near the same :-() are there any like that? Or a way of adding those to a stock-ish rom without much interference? I'm using data++ because of the speed it gives over data2ext etc.

Try widgetsoid. I have configured it to my liking and I find it much better than quicksettings. ;-)
If you insist on gingerbread, try the RevolutioN rom in my signature. IMHO these two roms are the very best for our desire.

[Q] Fastest HTC Desire Rom (performance)

Hi all,
I'm currently looking for the fastest / best performing HTC Desire Rom.
As I'm playing Ingress, its really slow and closes very often. I was thinking flashing a Rom without Sense, as it would probably perform better.
I guess 2.3 is faster than the new built? Or is it the other way around?
Let me know if you have any suggestions, or if I should use a 2.3 no-sense Rom?
Regards

I would recommend AOKP VJ 4.2.2 Jelly Bean v2.1. In my eyes it is one of the fastest, smoothest and most stable CM 10.1 based ROMs at the moment. I appreciate that it constantly keeps the mem free above 100mb.
i'd say Mildwild roms are the fastest and most stable.
Been using them for a long time now....still very pleased with them.
They have a few small issues, but overall...the fastest roms available if u ask me.
Currently running MW9.5 Redux, but used MW8 before....i find MW8 a little bit faster and better...it's got a few more options than MW9.5
...hoping for and upgrade of the MW8 version....
Wanted to say thx for all your suggestions. I'm running 4.2.2 VJ CM 10.1 now, and its awesome.
Pretty fast, and i got plenty of RAM, so Ingress does not close when minimizing (not everytime at least)
Thx! :highfive:
