good evening all
i want to know is there theme for ( ROM Pays-ROM Defy v5.1 Froyo 3.4.3-11 )?!!
and how do I install it ?!!
thanks in advance
i think that I use rom not used a lot here ?!
my rom 5.1 and i want to know also
Pays rom it's the most used for beginners, i think (It was my first custom rom), because it have all apps that the normal users will need.
I don't think that there's a theme for it, but you can change your launcher, this will really change the look and fell of your phone (i'm using zend from barebones, you can try go launcher ex (reaaallly good), adw launcher, he launcher (simple, my second choice) and many others.
If you really are concerned about the visuals, try
http://modmymobile.com/forums/640-motorola-defy-roms/561387-rom-jboogie3-blurginger-4-9-2011-a.html
It's the best rom i have seen, beatiful. The only problem is that it's a Blur rom, so your system will be bloated with useless apps that will drain your memory, cpu and battery. But i think it's the best rom around, really, try this.
I'm using barebones 1.4 now, because i like my system clean, with only the apps that i use.

Fairly new to android (me and linux go way back so I'm not completely in the dark), just bought a used rooted desire running Froyo. (S-ON for now). I have a couple of questions for people who know their ****:
First: Not being such a fan of HTCsense (Too many screens, for one), is there a way of removing it leaving me with the plain vanilla Froyo interface and not having to wipe and flash a new rom?
Second: From your experience which rom would you recommend? Oxygen looks rad, but still has a bunch of issues it seems. I want something which is #1 - Stable and supports all the hardware. #2 - light/stripped/I choose the stuff I want installed on my phone?
Am I right to lean towards vanilla froyo, as a good compromise at least?
Cheers

1) You can remove the HTCSense apk file and it will uninstall it. You won't be able to use any of the HTC widgets like. I do think you need S-Off to do this though.
2) The least buggiest I would say are CyanogenMod. Seems the most stable and bug free rom out there. Have had problems with other roms. Also MIUI-Au is a lovely rom to use. If you want, you can remove the system apps from custom roms before you flash it.
Hope this helps.
Hey Everyone,
I was reading up on the Cyanogenmod 7.0 and after being intrigued by what i saw I am thinking about switching from Leedroid and I got a few questions:
1.Is Cyanogenmod noticeably faster and can I expect any differences in battery life?
2.I never had a non-sense rom,how big are the differences?Are there replacements for the Sense Weather Clock Widget (I love that thing )
3.When I flash CM,at which point do I install the google apps?after a full first boot?during the same recovery session as the installation?
4.when i install apps from titanium backup,is it necessary to delete all the htc apps from the list of apps to be imported?cause i backupped all system and user data and i am wondering if sense-related apps may cause trouble with the new rom?
5.Might there be an even better Gingerbread Rom out there that I am missing?
thanks in advance,looking forward to checking out cm7 soon
Answer for 2 questions:
Battery life: it should be the same or a little bit less if you flash a kernel with good battery gestion. I tested all 2.3 roms here excepted CM 7, and in comparison to Leedroid, i never had the same battery life
Rom to recommend: Redux
Incredible rom, ready for daily use, clean, google apps in the rom, and cpu gestion is available in settings. So perfect rom for me in 2.3
1. Yes its faster than normal sense based ROM. Battery life depends on kernel you use.
2. It depends how much you are used to sense base ROM. You can find free app in market for clock widget best is fancy widget for HTC like clock.
3. After you flash CM in recovery itself you can install google zip file from SD card. Doesnt really matter if you do after 1st reboot and go to recovery again.
4. From titanium backup just restore missing app with data. not the system data. That will save all the trouble (always do that)
5. You can checkout Gingervillian. Which is CM7+few things. So basically basically CM7 only. Otherwise check Oxygen which is bare minimum ROM if you like that and build everything on that. I think those 2 ROM are most popular.
Additional tip:- Dont forget to take Nand backup before trying any other ROM. Good luck.
Thanks for all the answers,running cm 7 now and I love it so far

thats a good idea
May i ask what bothered you with Leedroid? As longtime Defrost user i actually thought about switching to the senseless leedroid, as Gingervillain has still too many bugs and problems for me and defrost starts being pretty outdated in some things.
I just wanna know if there are any custom ROMs that are not bugged (I know that even official ROMs have plenty bugs) and can be used for daily usage.
If possible, is there a custom ROM that has/may contain:
1) Non-disturbing bugs. Bugs that doesn't bother and non-severe that may destroy my device.
2) Sleek black UI. Dark colored UI works, too.
3) Newbie-friendly.
Thanks again
try creeds v2 or chobits 1.6,
most if not all custom rom has some issues,
do a trial and error and see for yourself what ROM suits you best
Creeds rom
Creeds Rom 3.2 works great for me.. No bugs so far.. except for the signal icon.. (Something u can live with )
As I have said, I am a newbie. Well, I do know many procedures now, but I don't want to risk it.
@deathnotice01
Chobits 1.6? Is there a problem with 1.8 and 2? I almost flashed those, good thing I am still waiting for a stable one.
@Vikram3392
I need the signal bar. My home isn't the perfect place to get signal, so I look at in order for me to change position in order to get the perfect signal
Thanks anyway.
@All
I want to flash Chobits v2. Is it good to use? I don't plan to use any a2sd and other system related things. I just want a good ROM that fixes a lot of flaws from the stock and a ROM that supports init.d perfectly, as I want to use [email protected]' tweaks.

Chobits v2 is still new. But chobits v1.8 with merruk kernel will certainly satisfy your needs! Stable rom+tweaks!

I thought v2 was an improvement of 1.8. If it is, then new should be better, right?
sir the most stable rom you can get is modified stock ROM, in terms of stability and overall use
custom roms have their pros and cons in terms of speed,memory usage, etc
since you are a beginner try to remove bloatwares and ad some customizations,tweaks, etc..
you can also push apps to ROM to increase a little ur phone memory
the good thing about android is you can personalize based on your taste, so happy modding

You're right....but we need to wait for some more time, till we get lots of good feedback about v2....till then, i consider chobits v1.8 to be better...

Chobits v2, very stable..
If you can live with the dark themes its great
I wish he'd release one without the modded apps though..
most stable, fastest, reliable rom --> modified stock rom. with fine tune and good modification, odexed rom is always faster than deodexed rom.

Hi guys!
Yeah, I know that everybody has his/her favourite rom, but I have a question. May wife has a Galaxy Y, and sometimes it makes weird things, so a I decided, to flash a new rom. (I have SGA, so I know something about flashing Samsung devices... )
What are your suggestions, guys?
I'm looking for a rom that's very close to stock look, very stable, but has good battery handling, and good performance. Is it too much? I hope no. Can you advise something? Maybe there's a modded stock rom, which has custom kernel, system format is ext4, and maybe has som tweak...
I need your help!
Creeds 2.0 is closest to stock, i suppose. But I would advise ChobitsDigitalis V2. Stable and good performance.
Sent from heaven!
Use stock & flash it with Merruk kernel, theme it wit go launcher or any other launcher that suit u (Play Store) & u still can add some tweak or apps to it

Arrrgh.... I (and my wife too) love TouchWiz... Yeah, you could say it's worse, than others, but I like it.
Don't you know which stock or custom roms have hungarian swype? (Okay, custom is easy: install swype beta.)
Maybe I will stick to stock , change kernel, make some UOT- mods, and hope that she'll like it...

I'm thinking about changeing ROM in my Desire, Right now I'm using MildWild 5 (from here) but it's missing few small things I need.
Which of GB ROMs do you recommend? Why GB? Because I would like to have Camera fully working (only one 4.0 ROM has it running, but that ROM is only in English and Chinese).
Looking for something stable, this is the most important for me, someting that doesn't have problems with battery and of course has camera fully working. Also it need to have more then just english and chinese language
Would be nice if it was something based on Sense ROM's with few adjustments. Have tried already LeeDroid and I'm thinking about using it once again, but wanted to know if there is something else worth to try.
Thank you

PS: to have a sense feel, use supernova rom
there is cool ex sense ics themed rom or you could try mildwild for a stock ,dont go for any sense rom base on 3.5 or higher found they lag like hell
any rom based on sense 3.0 and below works well .

If u want stable , u should go to stock rom
Mildwild is still my favourite since its fast and stable.
I tried ChromiumRom for its look but found it to be a little laggy for my daily usage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205516
MIUI-XJ was my first rom and really liked for its ability to switch up themes easily in 2.3.7 and its "iPhone-esque" feel but soon realised it was a bit heavy on resources and thus battery suffered.
Desire is getting old now so i would say go for the latest 'stable and fast' blend of ROM.
Presumably you are needing video camera to work fully, not just the still camera?
CarbonRom KitKat 4.4.3 and AOSB KitKat 4.4.4 - these are my favorites.
4.4.4 Beanstalk RC6
It's faster than GB!
Do you want stability and absolutely everything working? Then go for any (aosp preferably) gingerbread rom.
Do you want bleeding edge of development? Then go for the latest evervolv nightly based on 4.4.4 android. But you should forget video recording and expect some rough edges and no guarantees on stability.
It is a matter of choice after all.

All the best
