hi all,
greetings from an android noob. i'll be getting a desire in a few days, so i started looking for tips, tricks, hacks and stuff online and came across xda. i got really interested in putting desire hd rom in desire. but you can imagine how my head is threatening to explode seeing all this ports and different versions.
what i would like is Desire HD ROM, possibly unmodified (except if modification is needed for stability, usability...), with this new Sense UI, working camera, the least bugs and glitches...
i've tried looking for opinions and comments but got lost in all these threads. i've found one with fresh info on rom development and updates, but haven't found one with comments on which port is the best (in your opinion). the best meaning speed, stability, features...
if there is such thread then please PM me the link and remove the thread. if not, i guess it would be useful to have all comments in one place. thx to all in advance.
cheers!!
insertcoin 2.0
I've made my best experience with RCMixHD. For me it's the best HD-ROM.
I have been using InsertCoin for a while now, was on 1.8h and now I have finally updated to the latest version. Its a great ROM, quite happy with it.
InsertCoin has the advantage of fitting on nand. You won't have to change your partition layout for it, so you even don't need s-off.

that means less trouble when flashing rom, right? regarding performance, hd rom is quicker than stock one?
Can't remember stock Rom speed , but insertcoin is really fast and smooth.

In my experience, if you want
Sense - LeeDroid,
Sense HD - Insertcoin
Non sense 2.3 - Ginger villian
are the best.
Only had my Desire for a day but I'm loving the InsertCoin Sense HD rom. Seems very stable and performance is excellent.
I really enjoyed rcs hd rom try a few and decide

I would recommend InsertCoin 2.0.1
Found Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861690
This is the best ROM I have used on the Desire, I have tried about 10 different ones before settling on InsertCoin 2.0.1
Good luck with choosing the right ROM for you.
Regards,
Aleks
insertcoin 2.0 with d2ext is realy smooth. the best DHD rom i have used
ownheredesirehd works best for me, no mods except for transparent app draw, rotation, etc.
Gets about 2700 on quadrant, (OC to 1190mhz)

please help

I would agree with iNsertCoin 2.0.1 or if you want the rotating homescreen from the Desire Z then i'd suggest Cool Z as it's really stable, fast and still has all the features of the DHD counterparts (Skins, HTC sense.com, the ability to restore apps from your Google account etc) but try different ROMs to see what you are comfortable with (some roms are slightly laggy at times) and as long as you make absolutely SURE you've read all you need to know, you'll be just fine It took me 1-2 months before i was absolutely certain i knew how to get the ROM i wanted
+1 for InsertCoin
Added: I have stopped flashing other ROMs ever since I found InsertCoin (2.0.1), which was still called BaadNewz (1.4) at that time. It is the fastest, smoothest and the most stable HD Sense ROM available.

Many Thaks
So I am interested in trying the Nsertcoin rom, or another rom for my desire that has sense, but none if the threads I look through specify whether they are for the cdma or gsm desire
Is there something there that I'm missing? How do I tell?

So ive just been going through all the ROM's i have used and trying to find a good reason to use standard Sense e.g LeeDroid, AuraxTSense etc... over an HD ROM like iNsertCoin or Reflex?
I just want to know features ive missed that arnt included in HD ROM's etc not a "I like that one better" thread
Thanks !
DHD roms are just as fast and bugfree as regular roms, so I don't see any reasons for running a regular one
DHD roms use a bit more resources to run but you get a little more with them than you do on regular sense. Just wish with sense you could tweak it like not running certain apps on startup. That sort of thing.

Would anyone please give me the idea of its stability? I am trying to find a mod rom stable & can extend the battery life. Thank you
I'd sooner go with the 2.3d if I were you. I think that reading less than 10 last pages of the thread in question could give enough evidence to back up this statement of mine.

I find it works very well on my device, stable, smooth and fast, tried the GB builds and came back to 2.4.1. The battery life made me come back.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
LeeDroid 2.4.1 is very stable, it's the better froyo sense rom, you should try Gingerbread Sense Rom like InsertCoin or RCMix S, both are very good
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
2.4.1 is very stable , clean and fast. I like "sence" , and this is the best rom out there .

Same here. The only thing i disagree with is battery. GB are equally good now. I think even a little bit better when actually using the ROM (when phone is awake).
BUT, LeeDroid 2.4.1 is rock solid. All GB roms are based on TEST leak, and devs are porting stuff from sense 2.1 and 3.0 to them, which does cause few bugs here and there. It'll get there once official update is released.
I love the way Lee stayed away from porting stuff and just concentrated on optimizing existing software, adding most usefull addons you can find on xda.
LeeDroid 2.4.1 gets my vote for now, it's just to good not to use it
If you do not want Gingerbread, it is the most stable Froyo ROM, but GB has some advantages like battery RAM Management. If you will use A2SD, you may try InsertCoin Sense2.1 with GB.
+1 vote for 2.4.1
stable and smooth
skip 2.4.1 and go to LeeDRoid 3.0.x, might as well make the most of upgrading your system, and start getting used to Gingerbread!
Actually, that wasn't very helpful I guess. My bad. I've used LeeDRoiD roms pretty much since i first rooted, and I'd say they are up there with the best software you could want on your phone. They are definitely stable and pretty good on battery use. I only used 2.4.1 for a few days before i went to 3.0.2, but it was fairly solid.
Hey everyone I am just wondering what rom the majority of xda desire users use. Let me know thanks!!

This should be a poll
RCMixS Sense 2.1/3.0 Evolutionary.
Agreed, set up a poll.
ROM's should all come with usage recorders to anonymously report stats about devices and ROM's - something like distrowatch for Android phones would be cool.

Cynagogenmod reaches the most users overall. I am not sure how it's on xda.
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
I like:
Sense: InsertCoin (2.1+3.0) stable - using it now (latest 1.1.0)
AOSP: Oxygen-flashed this once in a while if I am bored with Sense (latest 2.2.1)
I am using MIUI after using Leedroid and oxygen, and before that star....something or other.
I have found MIUi to be easily the least buggy for me. I am now using D2EXT on it and it seems very very fast
Insertcoin 1.1 right now. Used leedroid and cyanogen before.
I think most people use Cyanogen, but i don't know for sure.
I'm back on stock for a while since i need a bigger SD card, my 4GB card is full.
It's a matter of taste I suppose. Some people want fancy/flashy ROMs while others want a slim bug-free stable ROM.
My personal experience with CM7 and, to a lesser extent, Redux, have been rather buggy requiring me to reboot the phone almost every day to fix a glitch here and there. Perhaps all the hacks and fancy features they add to these two ROMs is to blame for this.
But with Oxygen, I've not had to do that at all yet.
Im running Redux 1.2 themed with standard kernel atm. Great ROM for what i require with great battery life.
Looking forward to the new 2.0 redux when it is released.
Which custom rom is stable?
(any recommendation)
Fail.
Am I blind, is my Tapatalk broken, or did he open two same threads whose meaning is beyond any rational level of stupidity?

yet another thread about rom recommendation
lol, theres loads
personally, i'd say the one i'm running with launcher7- see sig.
well imagine EVERYBODY could cut & paste this reply. what is your favorite colour? i like red but it's not blue enough for some. better just try a few & see what takes yr fancy
The most stable imo is GingerVillian, it's a stock Gingerbread ROM with latest Google Market.
Runnymede AIO all the way for me, it is a brilliant rom.
Lol, I don't know who's moar funny here, trolls or those who spoon feed morons again, and again and again out of some false courtesy and thinking they are helpful....
If you want an AOSP rom try CyanogenMod 7, it's fast and stable. If you're searching for a Sense rom I think Runnymede AIO is the best at the moment
I wanted to know what are the best roms too but then i realized that i would have to try it out.
It really depends on you, do you want Sense or stock design, usability or speed...
I can really recommend you Redux or Oxygen, both are fast and both have propably everything what you need.
But it is my taste, i don't really like sense roms for example...
imo the best is not created yet
at the moment i have CoolSense 3.0 Aces v6 Bravo (it is so fast and stable), before i had LeeDroid 2.5 (stable, but no so fast, good battery life) and good factory stock rom
It's a hard question
I've tried cyano but i want lo have sense so i put InsertCoin.
Then i tried gingerbread with Aurora and now I have runnymede.
The last two is very good rom.I prefer the first because it's more easy but if u want a complete rom, use runnymede.
Oxygen is the most stable custom rom on desire imo. Its essentially hack free with a great kernel.

i stick to the official..way better than anything else!
I used to enjoy the stock roms, but found that sense was terrible. I, personally, would go for the latest Oxygen release for stability. I'm currently using Sandvold's ICS rom and enjoying it, but it isn't without it's bugs currently.

Sense is terrible in what way exactly?!
Hello,
What is the smoothest sense ROM? I have yet to find one that is as smooth as stock, everything that comes close is usually plagued with random stalls or lag and FC's and I'm giving the phone to my Dad soon who is not very technical and would not be suited to a custom ROM with these types of problems.
Just now I have a rooted version of HTC's gingerbread sense ROM but the lack of available memory is horrendous, the phone has stopped synching and I can't even run half my apps..
Please help, thank you.
If you really want smoothness, use AOSP roms.
Any of Alex's sense 1.9/2 ROMs
Look at my signature for the fastest sense rom.
Undoubtedly RSK is the smoothest sense Rom for desire....
Especially v7.1...
You vll have to sacrifice gaming though... But the Rom is worth it...

Anytime RSK Springtime v 7.4 .. awsum ...
I have been for a long time on Runnymede All-In-One by sebastiaan15 and after testing a lot of them and different Kernels, for smoothness i would recommend v5.1.2 and SNQ kernel for HTC Sense 3.5.
Oh yes, i use CM7r2 hboot, amarullz AD2SDX script with a A-DATA Class6 16GB SD card and 1.5GB EXT4 partition, 110 Apps, about 500MB free

The answer is in your post...
If you're giving the phone to your dad, who is not very techo, why not just revert to stock?? That way, the phone is reliable, smooth, has Sense and he can just use it as a phone.
Seems pretty simple to me.
