It's a good time to be a desire owner these days.
The roms just keeps popping out day after another.
Question is, which one is the fastest, most stable, best one?
I think a poll is in place.
Please only vote if you've actually tried them all.
ROM Links:
InsertCoin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
RCMix S: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570
Ace/Vision S: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018843
Also, if you found one not listed here, please elaborate.
And I think replying to this thread with your personal reviews of your favorite one with pro's and con's against the others would be appreciated too.
Happy flashing!
Tried 2 of them robo and Baadnewz v similar but TBH no video camera,no trackball wake then none of them is the ****
InsertCoin v1 was running very sweet for me but for some reason updated versions caused problems,probably my fault couldn't be bothered with a full wipe currently using RCMix Sv08 very happy with that apart from the 2 points mentioned above and the lack of a menu function to swap from 2G to 3G easily signal,GPS,battery life all great compass i think borked but i never use it
I selected the rcmix S, because for now it's the only one I tested, and what I can say is that it is really fast for normal use. Compared to version rcmixHD
For other ROMs, they seem to be all good as each other. The developers follow the well updated and are listening to users. The user feedback at speed and bug are equivalent for all roms.
You guys did a great job! Thank you for all your work for our small desires.

Camera is fixed in both, lag is fixed in insertcoint.
There are solutions for both roms to get the extra settings working in quick menu. (use search in thread)
There are solutions for both roms to get trackballwake(guides, search in threads).
-video rec. still down
-compas still down
anyhow, my 2 cents.. their both great! I picked insertcoin, not alot of difference between the 2 roms.. but in time that will change imo..
but for now, both very viable! havent tried ace & vision roms yet
In general I agree on:

Interesting i have home& menu wake working but not reliably, but didn't see any options for trackball, looks like i'll have to spend even more time searching XDA

Yes, as you noticed there are almost no differences in our roms, what i can see when i diff the roms is that only thing changed is the ril and some apps removed from insertcoin... so i dont know what is causing lag in my rom :/ strange... should be the same... It can be the plurk which he removed and i still have in my rom (possible memory leak in that app), i will check that when i come back from my vacation, now i am working on A2SD version of v08.
have a nice day everyone

well i don't know where the lag appears, i changed the rils, modded init.rc, changed all wpa related files with the ones from gb leak in an effort to fix some wifi problems, i removed some files, fonts, and moved lib_s to /system/lib.
Problem with my roms later than v01 is flash player 10.2, problem that is also on my froyo roms. and i have no clue how to fix it, thou in robo's roms the problem doesnt exists, plurk i removed from v04 so users should tell if that did the trick or not.
And as mentioned before, robocik did the hard - porting - hacking part. without this we wouldn't have a sense 2.1 rom.
btw, anyone have a clue why compass is acting strange? not that i ever use it, but some users need it
Hmmm its too difficult to compare 3 roms...coz me n baadnewz using same base even features is 100% same...only difference between tweaking n optimization...
But my vote for RCmixS coz robo is the first person who port sense 2.1 Rom...

If you look at the SuperDuperAwesomeROM v0.3 by eddyOS isn't that 2.33 Gb with an earlier version of Sense but made for the Desire, not a port and people say compass doesn't work, so maybe HTC cockup?

try to take my flash player and libs... uploading my A2SD rom, i have changed some flash stuff, we'll see if it helps for the users... have not tried it myself yet.
my users are reporting some calling issues, is that caused by the ril? i am using the one from the leaked rom... i think anyway hehe dont remember anymore.
need to run now. A2SD+ is on the way up.

if the compass problem is in the bravo leak then yes is a problem from HTC. But again the leak is a TEST Build so problems are expected.

read the thread question before posting ****! btw currently running insertcoin S v04, no problems at all, removed plurk and stocks, also thinking about removing peep but I don't know how will this affect the UI(friendswidget for example). Peep is also using a lot of memory.

would like to vote for
RC-MIX
&
InsertCoin as both of them feel very good in allday work situation
gave my vote to I-Coin cause i used it longer but now im on RCmix V8 and think i will stay there (top)
thx to Robo for making new STUFF available for our/my Desire
i couldnt find any way to get trackballwake on gb sense roms,i searched a lot.
Would someone plz be so nice to show where to get a flashable zip for it.
Why don't you three musketeers join forces to focus on just one bad ass rom?
I experienced slowdowns when I flashed the vorkmod of rcmix s 0.7, no slowdowns anymore after going back to the original rcmix s. I suspect it's some of these extra modules added (undervolt or a different governor)
btw my compass works quite well
Is anyone having problems with autobrightness (ie brightness suddenly going up and down again?)
oh my vote goes to robocik for now
On insertcoin, the WiFi randomly disconnects when the signal is low. Does this happen on other ROMs?

I got my defy 4 days back. I have android froyo 2.2.2 Re-Release http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093352 The phone works good for some time when it is started but after that after opening 3-4 apps it starts to lag like hell. Sometimes it freezes sometimes it doesnt respond to touches and it lags while changing screens. I have not installed many apps and RAM is also not the problem as i have 100mb still left with me still it lags.
Anybody with the same issue?? Anybody has a solution for this??
my Defy legs with android 2.2 too. i decide to install cm7. Now it works without any lags.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
its not supposed to lag that much even on stock rom, mine worked very well while i was using stock 2.2.2, try Milestone Overclock from market, its not a solution but it may help you
It can be 2 things.
1. You updated from 2.1. If this is your case all what your phone needs is a wipe using recovery (data and cache)
2. You need to increase your vm.min_free_kbytes to 4096 or 8192.
You do this using either SetVsel, or downloading Sysctl from the market.
Hope this helped
Gesendet von meinem CM7 Defy
I installed CM7 RC 1.5 and the problem is solved cm7 is fast and doesnt freeze at all. But my gps has stopped working plz help me out..
Hi,
I am totally upset after two days of trying to bring my GPS back to my Desire. I flashed the latest MIUI XJ (2.3.30, D2EXT) and cannot use my GPS eversince (GPS status never finds any satelite and the GPS indicator blinks forever - I mean after 20 minutes I lost my patience...). I tried various Radios/RILs, followed various threads from XDA-forum, updated gps.conf with correct settings etc., all to no avail. My Desire is one of the oldest models I guess - AMOLED, Bravo PVT1 - but I am not sure if it's relevant.
Can anyone give me a hint, what I could do more, or tell me their working Radio/RIL combination for MIUI XJ?
Regards,
Maciej
I'm running miui Xj a2sd with kitty kernal and stock rill see link to strands kernels
http://htcfanboys.com/download/1982Strand/?action=view&file=1516
GPS.conf is still at default cn.ntp settings and I've no problems connecting to GPS.

Can I try out the same kernel, aren't they "edition"-specific (d2ext vs a2sd)?
M
Doesn't say there specific to version. Try and see....what ntp pool setting did you use....by the way if you want to permanently change your ntp settings you have got to do it by Modding the rom or an ota before flashing.
