I've been looking at a few ROMs but I'm not sure which I like most, so i thought i needed to learn to make one....any help would be great....I want to have the new gingerbread 2.3 in it as well.
slellll checck?
is that better
It is probably a bigger undertaking than you are imagining.
To address your 2.3 req, the only thing you are going to be able to use is the aosp code, and not a sense based rom.
To address the getting started question, i would begin by search in the q&a as multiple people have asked this question so you will find some links to get you started here and in q&a. good luck and have fun!
Stickies provide a lot of info and help me out. As far as ROMs, I would just head to the Dev section and start looking around, trying things out to see what you like. For 2.3, I recommend CM7, it's not totally stable yet for everyone, but has been for me. I'm on nightly 6 and it works fine for me.

Hello, I am a complete newbie. I have only had my phone for about a week and a half, almost 2 weeks. Once the unrevoked team released the new fix to root my phone I wanted to check out a few things first.
I wanted to check out the ROMs that are available, maybe get some suggestions and etc. I guess my thing is, I like the way the normal stock is however I want to get rid of some bloatware apps that I have no use for at all. Here are some questions that I am running through:
What ROM is the closest to the stock version 2.2 but allows more customizations and is free of any bugs?
What are your recommendations to ROMs for a noobie?
Would I be able to design my own themes when using a ROM?
I think that is all I can think of for right now. But if you have some insight on something I should know, please let me know I would highly appreciate it.
I answer these with
1. Virtuous
2. Virtuous
3. You can but its not overly simple.
Virtuous is the stock rom but with fixes to give better life and it has the never needed stock apps removed with options to delete more preinstalled apps easily through virtuous buddy which is an app it comes with for easy customization of some things.

Virtuous is very good, and very close to stock (maybe a little too close). This is all opinion of course, the best thing you can do is try them for yourself. I recommend Skyraider Sense, it has a few added features and is super stable. I was one of the beta testers on this ROM and even in the pre-release stages it was very stable. It's fast, smooth and can be customized quite a bit. Also check out Chad's kernels, I have links for my setup in my signature if you want to check them out. The most important thing is to have fun and find something you enjoy. Happy tweaking
Everything come down to personal taste. Uncommon Sense has been bug free, I second Virtuous and would add Redemption to your list.
You should read each ROM's thread to see what people are saying about it. I realize that some of the Threads may have a few hundred pages of posts to read through, but it is well worth the time.
As you read through the threads, you will get a feeling for the developer, how they respond to queries as well as the members that are using the ROM.
I have been using ROMS created by Hey Its Lou (Redemption and Redemptive) exclusively now for about 6 weeks. He alsways seems to be releasing revisions as soon as he gets his hands on newly leaked code (as do some others).
As far as theming goes... It really depends on your ability to find the right tools and programs.
Hi all,
I'm thinking about flashing a custom ROM on my Desire, but I have some small questions.
Sometimes I see "WWE" in the title, Since I flashed winmo-roms with previous phones, I know that means world wide english. My current (stock) ROM supports a multitude of languages, you can choose one when you first start it. Are there ROM's that offer this feature?
Another question is about the type of the ROM. At a first glance at the list, I'm very tempted to choose a sense3-rom, because they look so nice. But at the same time I see a lot of sense2.1 and hybrid-versions of 2.1 and 3. Why is that? Are they more stable, or perhaps much faster?
Use the search and your questions will be answered.
What MatDrOiD says... but for some quick answers:
Certain ROMs allow you to change the language to the ones you have at stock, the ROM-developer will state that information in the starting post for a ROM.
I haven't tried sense 3.0, but it's very likely that the sense 2.1 ROMs are more stable, and have certain features that you won't find in the 3.0 ROMs. Apart from that, the Hybrid ROMs use most of the shinny interfaces from 3.0, with a more stable base.
Hope that helped.
The hybrid ROM's are using sense 2.1 whit futures find in sense 3.0
The developers are still working to do a full port of sense 3.0 but is very difficult.
Until then we must be happy whit the hybrid ones.
I'm using one of this ROM's and I'm very happy whit it.
If you want to use one of these ROM's always reed the first post (there you find FAQ about the ROM, recommended partition size ...)
Also to add that the AOSP roms tend to be faster than sense roms in my experience, but it depends on your preference. Also I think they are updated faster to new versions of android.
Okay, thanks for all the pointers, very usefull!
First off: I tried searching, but I got lost in the amount of results I got. I know, if I take long enough to read though the posts I will get the answers, but the sheer smount of search results is just overwhelming...
As far as flashing a ROM without Sense, I can understand where the advantage is in terms of speed or development time. But I really like Sense, I find it extremely intuitive to use, so I think I will stick with it. Thanks for the pointer though, stringer7!
I guess I'll read into the whole process of rooting and flashing for now. I like to be prepared well when I'm taking the chance of bricking my precious phone I saw some tutorials in the android development-forum, so I'll start there.

Have fun with a "desire", you will have soon if everything works.
Hi Xda-ians,
I've been googling for a while to find new ROM with Sense, I found something from this threat here, which is similar to what I am looking for. However, after gone through, I've learnt that it's is not yet completed (correct me if I am wrong).
So, anyone help me out to get a new ROM with HTC sense 2.2.3?
Thanks in advanced.
Regards,
mkr
2.3.3 with Sense isn't avilable for wildfire
a developer (Emiliano) was working on sense rom but Unfortunately his device was broken, he is collecting donations to buy a second hand one to continue his project.
his thread
oh cmon people this thread has nothing to do with development. stop making threads like this in development section.
Thanks for the information I'm so sorry for the inappropriate threat.
Cheers
wich rom is fast, good battery time and full working camera? i need good camera as was in 2.1 original rom
I'm hearing JokerDroid is pretty good.
The other good sense alternative is Wildpuzzle.
Hello, I have recently rooted and unlocked my Arc and I am now looking for a Kernel and ROM to start my custom experience with. I do not want to insult or under value the hard work of developers by asking for advice on the "best" ROM, however I find myself becoming increasingly more confused with the options available.
I am looking for a Kernel and ROM that give me JB, no lag, overclocking, good battery life, camera, wifi, bluetooth, smooth operation non beta and is more interesting then the stock ROM. I am not a gamer and rarely use HDMI.
I have searched XDA and have read so many opinions and spun around so many times that I now find myself looking up my own arse.
Could someone let me know what has worked and continues to work for them.
Cheers.
These threads get closed for a reason. Stick with the stock ROM or read the dev threads and choose. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147836

Hmm. ok soo I have been running CM 10.1.3 now for a few weeks and realy love it. But I cant seem to shake bluetooth problems (BT connection keeps dropping and stuttering). And that is extremely important to me, Car, home work all need streaming bluetooth. it will work fine for a bit then just starts skipping. Im trying one last fix but im not hopeful...soooooo its back to TW based roms for me I think.
I really want to be able to keep stock dialer and messages, I love that from AOSP (3rd party ALWAYS seem slow to me but i hate the colors of TW).
Ive been looking at the Hyperdrive Rom and Dandroid. (well Omega too, but i dont think we have a release for any 4.2.2 JB on TW for ATT yet, right?)
they both seem to be strong, and i know this is such a loaded question. Ive tried to go through at least the last 10 pages, plus first 10 pages of each ROM just to get a feel for each and i did see some BT issues but that doesnt seem to be the norm. and I do like the themeing that Dandroid did, but unsure on if any of the hyperdrive mods make it significantly better....
Anyone have any thoughts?
Oh i was on Synergy prior to moving to CM, and while it was rock solid, it seems to have stagnated a little.
thanks
S3Rx for the win!
Please try the ROMs for yourself and see how they work for you. Members on this development site are expected to do the research before drastically altering their $700 device. If you have a question whether Bluetooth works on a specific ROM either ask in Q&A or in the ROM thread if questions are allowed in that thread.
Thanks for your understanding
