I am just getting into all this rom flashing and have a query. Cannot post on the XDA developer thread for it and do not want to break my phone up due to something I have not researched properly.
I have installed the new Revolution 5.1.3 on my desire and it is working great but I wish to install some of the sense 3.0 features such as SMS , lock screen etc.
I am not sure what I have to do to install this. Do I have to install the nosense script before I can start installing the sense 3.0 stuff or can I just install them without doing this. Is there a certain way I have to go about doing this in order for it to work properly.
Any help would be appreciated
Try the new leedroid it has sense 3.0 SMS and the 3.0 lock screen can be flashed, has a custom leedroid kernel for better battery life and faster phone also.

cheers, might give it a go.
You can't install/flash sense, you have to flash a ROM which contains it... And currently, there are no ROMs which are fully sense 3.0, there are only some things ported to them... I suggest you to wait for a native sense 3.0 port if you want a true experience...
LeeDroid doesn't have sense 3 sms, only Task Manager and USB Menu, also lockscreen as a seperate addon

You should give a try to RCMix. It has many Sense 3 features, such as lock screen sms and wallpaper. I tried and found it very interesting. I think Sense 3 will be a step ahead.

I had a look at this one, but got a bit confused when it said not to wipe using ROM manager (I'm still kinda new to this) .
Have just tried the coredroid 6.0 rom and whilst it seems ok, it seems a bit jerky compared the android revolution HD rom.
Glad I tried it as I got to have a look at some of the sense 3.0 features but think I will go back to Revolution HD or maybe try that leedroid ROM.
I'm using leedroid with the sense 3.0 and the circle battery. Works perfect for me !

We have got many good developers here working on different ROMS.
I just would like to know what ROM are you all using at the moment and why.
I used most of the time Sense rom from Leedroid. I love his boot image and the fact it is sense rom. I tried Sense HD and I like it, but until the camera works is no good for me for day to day use. Last couple of days I use MIUI and it is really different but nice (like iphone OS but on better device)
I've used Defrost, Opendesire, Villainrom, SupervillainHD and Oxygen. Like the ASOP roms the best, as they are the fastest, allow me to choose the addons more (not 3 or more programs for one task, if i don't want to use Sense apps), and are more versatily (at least, appear to me to be so).
Moved to general as this is in no way pertaining to ROM development.
fair enough. I just tought the poll might help people to choose a rom to use/try.
I am using pinky desire classsic at the moment .
CM 6.1 RC - cause simply I hate to update alot. I'm considering it the latest satisfying my needs!
using pays sense rom
tried auraxtsense rom, but reverted back to pays
it has the best dialer i have seen in a rom.
would like to try sense HD, but wont until they fix the camera

What does Stock mean if you've got Sense?? Sense is stock on the Desire...

By sense rom he probably mean roms like leedroid etc.
On that assumption I voted stock as I'm running the stock 2.29.405.2 WWE ROM
Why? As it does all I need it to
OpenDesire
I went from stock ROM to OpenDesire 4.0.36. I do not miss Sense at all and BT keyboard now works (why, HTC, oh why?). The only thing I miss from Sense is the weather widget.
Too bad OpenDesire will not be updated any longer as from the final 4.1 version. I hope it gets Gingerbread (2.3) in the final build.
Leedroid, because it has apps2sd by default and is pretty clean and has some other nice little touches (but still pretty close to stock) like a transparent notification drawer
I tried all rom types, but in the end I return to Sense. People who say AOSP or Cyanogen are faster have clearly never used a sense rom. It's at least on par and scrolling is smoother.

Teppic74's Rom and tweaks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
With the GPU and SD card patched kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819601
And a theme I made using UOT kitchen.
I like sense, and I wanted something relatively close to stock but with A2SD and a few other bits and pieces.
I have been going back and forth with roms and wondering some things myself.
I like the speed and system memory available with the A2SD of the AOSP roms (oxygen) but need my video camera so the gingerbread thing is out till they sort that out and Im finding I like the sense roms.
Anyone have any experience with the stock roms? Are there any sense stock roms with very little of the garbage apps that come with most sense roms but still have A2SD? I guess Im looking for the best of both worlds here.....
There are froyo AOSP roms so no sense and a working video recorder, you can also strip Sense roms from the stuff you don't want, just make sure it's not a critical part.
But if you want a Sense rom I suggest you use Leedroid with A2SD and don't worry about space or removing sense apps.
Leedroid is my 1st rom, then i tried defrost, open desire, gingervillain, Oxygen, they all give me bugs, as for other sense rom, i've tried AuraTSense & Modaco, not tat perfect for me, as for Sense HD rom, don't try it, they're not mend for Desire... lastly i go back to Leedroid, now it's 23d already, and it's smooth, bug free... i just hope tat i know how to take out those stuff that i don't need inside... I really wanted to have a smooth non sense rom, but non of them is better than leedroid...

I use Baadnewz' HD rom it's pretty fast and stable (as fast and stable as leedroid's in fact) and you get the sense 2.0 goodness too. I was on Leedroid for a long time but wouldn't go back to old sense anymore.
thx for the info, i think i'm gonna give it a try...
hmmmm
I'm running Leedroid right now and start up is quite laggy and my phone is not very responsive. I just s-offed my phone so I'll see what I can do with it now.
I tried Baadnewz but can't remember why I didnt like it. lol
The HD roms seem to give me bugs.
I have been debating making my own rom, a sort of Frankenstein rom, with bits and pieces of all the things I like from other roms. The main problem I'm having is finding a tutorial on making roms. I have searched but found nothing...

i prefer the hd roms also , had no problems with them.

I get lags if I don't do a full wipe or use titanium backup to restore old system settings with any rom. Once you are on a certain rom you can usually just upgrade without a full wipe.
Tried Baadnewz' HD rom, not that responsive... sometimes need press 2-3 times to screen on... going back to leedroid... ><

To take out the unnecessary stuff search LeeDroid's minisite - there is a great tutorial, how to remove stuff you don't need.
Also you can delete the not needed .apks from the .zip file on your PC and after that you can flash it.
Also tried a few ROMs (including gingervillain, Oxygen), but using LD, cause it is the best for me.

I deleted 2 apps (cifsManager & DefaultclearHome) and it was working without any problems so far.
I don't know about other .apks, but in that case i recommend the tutorial shown here:
http://leedroid.protogenlabs.com/wiki/guidelines-for-safe-removal-of-included-apps-apks
However, there is written, than you can just simply delete from the .zip file.
Do we have a poll /or can we have one for best ROM available for Desire ? .
Just wanted to know whats the most used ROM on the forum .
Hello guys,
I can't decide which Android 2.3 + Sense Rom I should flash on my DHD.
there are the following Roms to choose:
- LeeDroid HD 2.3.4 beta 3
- CoreDroid V4
- Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 1
- VillainRom 2.0.1
- RCMix HD 4.2
Which Rom did you choose and why did you choose it ???
Thanks very much
VillainROM because Nathan, the maker of it, made also many very excellent ROMs for the HTC Hero and so I trust him that he'll also make good ROMs for Desire HD.
i had leedroid 2.2 and it worked fine. then i wiped my phone and installed leedroid 2.3, but only part of sense showed up on my phone! really weird. then i flased RCmix 2.3 and it works brilliant!
you mean RCMix HD 4.2, right ??
If you MUST use Sense (I dont know why...) The Beta ARHD 4.0 is your best bet. Its a good experience so far.
That said, I am a CM7 User, and I hate Sense, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I had the same question some time ago and it's often a thing of personal decision. So you probably will have to try for yourself. All the ROMs have good performance.
I'm using Revo HD because it looks like stock but with nice tweaks.

Only reason that I use sense is because I like some of the Sense apps(Dialer and messaging mainly)
I'd Choose either of Revolution or Leedroid , both are gr8 roms, the others listed Tbh i havent flashed those on my DHD so can't really give my opinion on those tilli try em out. i've used leedroid since v.1.5 and its been my personal fave one to use daily.

Actually I am concerned about the daily usability of the different builds and if it's worth to jump to gingerbread seen the source is a leaked build probably in very early stage. I would like to try it but I feel so confortable with AR3 ... Please someone tell me I would not regret it

You could always back up your rom before flashing ?
I would obviously do it, but I am so lazy that was wondering if this rom is worth it ... I promise I'll do my homeworks and let you know here if it is
Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 1 without a doubt.
Beta 2 out tomorrow so maybe you should wait for that one to flash.

Any idea what time beta 2 is being released?? Im looking forward to going to Gingerbread but am completely reliant on my phone for work and dont have a spare so want it to be as stable and have everything working before i take the plunge!! Also does anyone know if the GB roms can be overclocked yet and which radio should be used??
Thanks in advance!!
Nevermind, just checked and Beta 2 is OUT NOW!!!!
I am using leedroid 2.3.4 beta 4 r2. The reason i'm running this is that i have used his leedroid vesion on my phone since i bought it, and that he is very quick with updates and fixes. Also lee's rom is always lightning fast!
can anyone tell me the most stable rom, wit hall components working with no bugs , glitches or problems etc. i currently have stock on my phone, and have been wanting to upgrade, but although every few days something is released, or a new feature (sense 3) i dont want to install if bugs - i.e. i read in sense 3 the weather doesnt update, so bit pointless installing.
whats the best rom for me? im guessing all roms are cleaned up and sped up.
Start with Seraphics Stock (but rooted) HTC gingerbread. Its the 2.3 update with root access, everything works.
Try Leedroid 3.02 very stable for me and have all u need battery holds nice too.

Depends on what ur looking for, I had the same question a month ago or so and decided to go for the a Revolution rom, by now I never want to go back again. I just flashed the Android Revolution HD 5.1.4, seems stable, fully functional and fast.
Yup, another vote for Android Revolution. Faster, better battery life, and probably more stable than stock My opinion is, don't go for Sense 3 mods, except maybe USB Connection thing. 3.0 Lock screen is pretty much useless like stock one, untill they fully implement features from sense 3 (lock screen apps selection,...).
Make a backup of your stock ROM, and then install ARHD 5.1.4 or LeeDroid 3.0.2, if you don't like it after testing, just restore to your previous state and you're back (with the slow one)
I would go for ARHD i have been using i for quiet a long time now and havent seen a lot of bugs its very fast and easy to use when you come from stock ROM because of no visual chances i would not recommed that you install any of the mods or themes in the first place Hope it helps

using ROM Manager or clockworkmod recovery (ROM Manager is a GUI for CWM-R).
Just hit the backup current ROM.
You should perform a (NAND) backup every time you flash a new ROM etc. just in case something goes wrong.
to try ARHD is a good dission.
It's fast, stable and simply that what you're looking for.
My tip on you: read the quides carefully, you'll have no problems with the flashing.
Try RCMIX if you want sense.
Try CM if you do not want sense.

il add another vote for leedroids 3.0.3 it is very stable and everything works
thank you all, i will try revolution first, as it is downloaded now, then once i have done one i am sure i will be addicted and more happy to try others more often.
ok, thank you everyone, i have installed the rom, it seems faster, and no noticeable problems yet.
I followed the guides found on here. and today saw on another site that it mentions to factory reset and wipe data, and then wipe data again after install, which there was no mention of in guides here.
will this cause a problem? i dont want to reset /wipe data now as just set it up again how i like it.
Rcmix v6 is stable, the new kingdom port 0.2 has too much widgets problem for me.
+1 for leedroid but 3.0.3 with 3.0.4 kernel... Its smothhiie and works perfectly

I thought that Sens is good when purchased my phone. Then it updated to 2.3, then I rooted it and got 3.0 with Virtuous Affinity and I still thought that I need Sense on my phone. It's only when I got fed up with all the lags I installed Mimicry. It was like a breath of fresh air. Everything suddenly was all smooth and lag free.
Make a backup, give it a try. If you won't like it - just restore.

Partially agree, but since I tried GenY, I don't have any complaints about speed and still have Sense. I was using Mimicry and have to say it's best AOSP ROM, but lack of mms and sending contacts by SMS forced me to go back for Sense rom. And only 1 is good is GenY.
