Most stable Sense FroYo rom

Hello
I've tried most of the Sense FroYo roms now and I can't make up my mind which I find most stable.
DeVillian, LeeDroid, UDK and Adams rom always seem to reboot every now and again. What makes it harder (for me anyway) is that I would prefer most Sense apps (Plurk, Footprints, Car Panel) and I would also like to install stock Contacts app. Pretty hard to find a rom which I can install the apps I want and performs well.
What rom does everyone think is most stable?

Flashed that before posting and I get reboots when occasionally selecting Twitter notifications from the status bar Going back to DeFrost until reboots have been fixed.

Same here. Really happy with it.

I'm using Pay87's froyo+sense rom, have been for over a week and there haven't been any reboots or stability problems.
Most of the froyo roms seem pretty stable now. Is it possible you have an app which is misbehaving?

ive used lee droid and modaco and both are stable. Did you perform the full factory/cache/davlik cache wipe before flashing the new rom?

I do a complete wipe every time I flash a rom. Probably me doing something horrifically wrong.

It's currently in the oven
But i've always had trouble with MoDaCo roms though. Don't think i've ever had one install properly
Edit: However, if this does work, it'll (hopefully) mean I can flash Mythamps Contacts/Dialer theme

I havent had one install properly either. It always gets stuck at the HTC white screen on boot up. Both 2.1 and 2.2 custom ROMS.
Anyone have the same problem or know why this is happening?

Do you have an ext3 partition on your SD card? Most custom roms has a2sd in it, hence an ext partition is a must.

True, but when the 2.1 mcr roms were out, we didnt have fakeflash, thus not having to unpartition it on initial boot. even when tried with an ext, it still wouldnt boot. Once got it to the Sense loading screen, but it wouldnt move on from that

As usual with mcr, it isnt booting. stuck at white htc screen

Since using ROM manager I haven't had a single boot loop with any ROM and I have tried most! My current favourite is MoDaCo R5 which allows me to include just what I need using the online kitchen. I have had no problems at all with this release.
MoDaCo R6 has just been released and adds the standard Contacts app and other minor additions.

I've had problems with most froyo roms. Imo none are as stable as the eclair roms.

MCR R6 is the most stable I've found. And I totally agree with the kitchen. Most devs are keeping QuickOffice in their roms as it isn't available in the market, so the kitchen is great for removing that. Absolutely love it.

[Q] Gingerbread 2.3.3 + App2SD/Data2SD

Hello dear friends. First of all - please excuse me for maybe the stupid questin i'm going to ask I want to say that i searh for this issue all day and i still can't find a satisfying answer
So lets start - I bought HTC Desire 2-3 weeks ago and of course i began modifying it I've tried tons of custom ROMS & stuff like this and i get to a final conclusion - the official HTC Gingerbread update 2.3.3 for the Desire is the best and i just dont want to change it It's simply the fastest one, without significant bugs and so on. The only problem is that i can't find a way to make my internal storage bigger I managed to do this with a custom ROM, but all of the ROMS were either laggy or with some major bugs that i don't like. So my question is:
IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE MY INTERNAL STORAGE BIGGER AND STILL USE THE OFFICIAL HTC GINGERBREAD 2.3.3 UPDATE
Thanks in advance for helping guys

One word- Supernova
Sent from my Desire running Supernova Extreme - Gingerbread goodness with Unlimited Internal memory

I just don't want custom ROMS buddy I've tried the Supernova, and i got some problems with the mobile connection... I reall want an official ROM with just more internal space

Well then you can do these steps:
Install ext4 support
Install init.d support
Install Busybox
Modify your kernel to add init.d and busybox runparts
Finally add a2sd or data2sd yourself
Each step has its own seperate thread on Xda. You can search and find it

Have been using supernova for a week or so now. Not had any issues and my apps run fine on Sandisk 8 gig class 4 with 1 gig EXT4 partition. Now with all my apps etc installed i have 839 meg free space for more apps. I don't think the Desire will get any more OTA updates as 2.3.3 was only available via download and came with several disclaimers.

Try Link2SD, only need is second partition.

Can Supernova be installed using Rom Manager?
edit: Doesn't look like Supernova will work for me, my Desire is CDMA.

Never user ROM Manager! It's a horrible software which causes more problems than it solves.
Just flash roms from recovery.

The stock feature with witch one can move apps to is called "Apps2SD". The apps can moved to FAT32 partition if the dev programmed the app for this.
The script which moves automatically moves apps to SD is called "A2SD / A2SD+". A2SD if you use this feature only for apps, A2SD+ if you also move dalvik-cache to SD. The partition is here.an EXT one. Furthermore, it doesn't matter if the dev programmed the app for this or not.
@OP:
Try oxygen ROM with the script which moves dalvik cache to EXT partition if you don't want to go S-OFF and flash oxygen hboot.

Recommended Sense ROM with biggger storage to install apps?

Hey
My friend is pretty tired of the Desire not having enough space to install applications. Im going to put a Sense ROM (Latest Sense with Gingerbread) but that allows ALL apps to be installed on the SD so he can have more space to install stuff. What ROM do you recommend?
Thanks

Good question. I wouldn't want to move away from Sense either but am always running out of space.

my suggestion:
Acesmod007 cm7 v39
In case you will wonder: 1gb ext4 partition will do the trick.

I use Alex v rom data2w with 1.3gb internal memory.
It's fast and so much internal memory..
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

I strongly recommend Oxygen. With Sense one starts with 135 mb of free space for apps. With Oxygen, I started with 330 mb. I have over 110 apps and still have about 50 mb available.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

The difference in free space is incredible. Doesn't the Desire have 512Mb at the start? For HTC to only give 1/5 to end-users is nuts.

I especifically said Sense.

For all apps to install to Sd you can try the data2ext roms like supernova or the data2ext version of Cool3D AceS V4. These roms will allow you to put your entire data partiton onto the sdext partition, giving you 'unlimited' memory.

Well there was no need to be an arse to him as he was trying to help. And there's no need to be an arse with me for pointing out he was helping.
In the spirit of helping you, regardless of the fact I think you're an arse:
Choose any sense Rom you want. Partition the sd card with an ext partition.
Use a2sd+ or data2sd to maximize space.

@riahc3
being an arse to people trying to help you will not endear you to anyone.

Quick question please (which I imagine will help the OP too), is it possible to have proper App2SD "without" resorting to a new ROM?
If so, is there a link that tells you how to do it. I asked a similar question a while ago and all suggestions also revolved around ROM upgrades:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055163

Depends on the Rom. If its a rooted version of the Rom that came on your phone, you need to add init.d support then a2sd. The first part is a lot of trouble. Much easier to flash a custom Rom. If you follow my signature link then the root memory faq, there's a link back to a thread here to do it but I can't see why anyone would go to this trouble
If your Rom already has init.d support you can flash any a2sd solution.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Thanks. Perfect answer.
I'm using the stock ROM that came with my HTC Desire then upgraded to Froyo OTA (Sense 2.x. I don't know the exact version). I doubt it's got that in it. So like you say, it's easier to install a custom ROM.

Indeed, no stock Roms have init.d
Init.d is a folder that you put scripts in and they run on boot or initialization.

I was a ass to you?
I was explaining that a nonSense ROM was not what I was looking for, as I previously stated. I did not insult. I did not say anything else expect that I specified a Sense ROM.
Some of you need to get less sensitive. It was a comment on a forum with no harm intented.

Lets revise them (by looking at first post):
Alex-V 1.0 GB Rom: Looks pretty good and clean but based on the old Sense, not the latest.
SuperNova: Looks great. Very easy to set up it seems. But again, looks like it is based on the old Sense, not the latest.
Cool3D Sense 3.0: I think this is the one Im looking for The only problem is that setup looks a bit "difficult" to say a word. Im sure looking thru Itll just take a few minutes more than the others but...
Cool Sense 2.1: I imagine this is the above but the old Sense. Easier to setup too.
Some questions did come up:
1: Do I have to S-OFF the HTC Desire?
2: Is rollback with a NANDroid backup easy and painful?
3: I imagine the answer is Cool3D Sense 3.0 but which has the most "eye-candy"?
4: Reverse question of sorts to number 3, which is the fastest?
The phone isnt mine but these answers would be nice so I can explain to the person what I am about to do.

[ROM][Port] FroYo 2.2 - CM6.2.0 by Jaybob-G0ku

Having ported a GB ROM i figured i'll try my hand at a froyo port,
searched through the cdma threads again
and found a Froyo rom built by jaybob one of the cdma's finest developers
n began porting it
this is an aosp rom and is very much stable for daily use
for the moment i've only ported the black version and default version of the rom m hoping as time passes by i'll port all the themed versions found in the original thread
The original thread is over Here!
Now on to the ROM
I've added in the basic gapps package for ease of downloads
FroYo 2.2.1 CM6.2.0 stable[Default edition
FroYo 2.2.1 CM6.2.0 stable[Black Edition]
if you want full gapps just wipe cache and dalvik before you flash after 1st reboot
Full Gapps Package
i missed out provisions.apk
so plz flash this after flashing rom
Provisions-update PLZ Flash!
added email application in attachments
although i've added in the basic gapps package plz flash the full gapps package simply because i tend to make mistakes
Themes and fixes Made by Habarug for this ROM(Nice work and a big thank you to Habarug)
ICS THEME
Naked simplicity
Mod for the pulldown bar
Thanks to jaybob and elelinux based on whose roms this port was made

Compared to Decked ? Hmm, difficult to say at this stage. Feels fast and definately lighter. Apps2SD works BTW as does GPS Google Nav. Am still at work and now V. low on battery so have stopped fiddling till i get home to my charger.
So far would have to say this is at least as fast as any froyo i've used with my usual setup.

This one feels really good Will try it for a while, and if i still like it i will mash together a theme to make it complete for me

well,this ROM is very smooth,feels quick enough for daily use..
experienced no lags so far,we'll see how it runs in the next few days..
now if only Habarug ports his ICS theme from VE6 (as look is not really an upside of this room )

lol ur running the black edition or default?

Default.I just dont like the statusbar actually .
Would like to try black but dont like to restore all the apps again. Lazy lazy

Just Rooted / Downgraded / now what?

hey guys..
so i just used Strawmetal's method of Downgrading my 2.3.4 to 2.2 HTC G2 *T-mobile* and continued to root it. I am able to boot into clockwork and just did a backup. I know its kinda noob, but im coming from a defy, but now.. am i free to flash any rom as i please? specifically Im looking into the G-lite... im concerned about kernel incompatablity and what not..
im not sure what the rules are for the G2 phone.. its been a LONG time since using the G2 and Im coming back to it. So any any help would be really appreciated..
Thanks a lot

If your already made a backup with clockwork then you can go ahead and flash the roms/gapps. Make sure you wipe beforehand. The rom should come with its kernel

oOOOOhhh WHeee.. just booted... soo pretty ... thanks again !!

Umm governors are part of the kernel. You should be able to control them either with the roms inbuilt tools or an app like setcpu.
You should upgrade to the latest . 19 radio. There are instructions on how to do that on the forums. Ill try to find the link.

thanks alot.. i just flashed the new radio.. ahh man.. this rom is REALLY PLAIN.. haha but i guess thats the point.. any recommendations for one that looks decent and has good battery life? ... i suspect i will need to jump on that hzboot requirement..

Im not familiar with the glite rom. From what i could read on the thread it is designed to be lite. Im currently running the latest version of mimicry. Its pretty smooth and has amazing battery life for an ics rom. Im not sure what you meant by the changing the hzboot. You can always install the eng hboot for the g2. However you will need to install the desire z hboot for trying out sense roms. Ill also recommend installing 4ext recovery instead of clockwork.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app

I just downgraded/rooted/installed a new ROM yesterday. I went with Mimicry 1.3.2. There's plenty of cool features with that ROM. My favorites are the customizable lock screen (add up to 4 shortcuts), quick torch (hold power button while screen is off and your LED light will turn on), customizable battery icons (5 choices, 4 of which have percentages), shortcuts in the notifications screen (very useful). The ROM itself doesn't have many apps installed aside from the gapps you had to install.
The Aroma installer made everything a breeze. I also like how the WiFi calling package along with other tweaks were options in the installer. I would definitely recommend this ROM!

I am finding Mimicry good, too, and there's 1.4.0 now, just since yesterday
Like Deadeye, and indeed just a few hours earlier, I also rooted and installed Mimicry 1.3.2 yesterday. I am much impressed, and think it's a good choice for starters. Make sure you get 4ext recovery at some point, it makes changing ROMs so easy that you can always try another if you want...I've heard good things about several...aokp and elite mod are being used by people who helped me root, for example.

Just do a backup and flash any rom in the g2 developement section, you'll be good to go

If you plan on installing any sense Rom you need to install desire z hboot this will give you more system space and less space for apps 500mb and 1Gb respectively
Just google desire z hboot for g2 you will get it from there for an ics sense 4 Rom try gen y visionX B5 that's the best out there
