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 know, such a question is asked every day but since the froyo OTA was released many roms changed completly and many new roms were created, too.
Unfortunally I dont have the time to test all of them, so I just wanted to ask for your suggestions
Which froyo-sense-rom do you use and is it worth flashing?
I have to say that I really haven't used any other custom ROM, but I've stuck with LeeDroid too. I'm currently using 1.6a as it has been perfectly stable with lots of nice apps not included in other ROM's. I love it also because it's updated almost daily. I'm still using 1.6a since 1.7 is based on the official HTC Froyo ROM and it's not as stable yet. I'm waiting until it's as flawless as 1.6a and upgrading then
on stock froyo 2.2 rooted (hboot .80) cause I can't be flashing custom roms for fixes daily. Need a stable (doesn't have be super speedy) rom with froyo and rooted for everyday use!

Exactly the same for me atm - would like to have a daily useable rom which is built from the ota. Maybe I will give 1.7b a try
From the beginning I've only wanted root access with the stock HTC ROMs as my daily use. I rarely flash additions and whatever I do is for long term use. I don't have time for problems and fussing around with new variables, bugs and shortcomings. Stock MFG ROM releases generally have excellency in stability, consistency, integrity and reliability which is exactly what I'm after. So I'm using the rooted HTC 2.2 ROM. Every mod or hack I needed is working on it. Battery life is still excellent. I couldn't be happier.

im using nextsence, i usually prefer stock roms over custom roms but this one is sweet, its like the stock rom but with a cool theme
I'm currently using the LeeDroid 1.7 Froyo ROM. Its working a treat for me at the moment, not crashes or stability issues, my only concern is that when having to reflash ROM's all the time that I will keep losing my apps. Though i'm told this is not the case if you use A2SD/A2SD+
I tried flashing 1.7b, but got no APN and couldnt add them manually. So i switched back to 1.6a

Try titanium backup from the market to restore apps & system data...
None.
I use cyanogenmod, its pretty stable now.
I still cant see what the fuss over sence is. Am I missing something

I used to have CM on my g1 too for long time...
I really love the sense widgets - and I can't find good replacements for them in the market
Only one choice imo if you want a stable & fast Froyo Sense. Neophyte 1.6.
Seriously - I've tried nearly every Rom including LeeDroid and this one is so much better than all of them.
atm I'm using Leedroid 1.8.
Really stable Rom - didnt see any bugs yet...
What's the most stable gingerbread Rom? Also if I nan backup my leeDroid can I restore it on gingerbread?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I recommend CM7 if you like having lots of options or Amethyst if you want something closer to stock gingerbread.
As for your second question, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. You'll have to start fresh on gingerbread, you won't be able to bring your settings. You may be able to restore your apps using titanium backup but I've heard that there are problems when going from Sense to stock.
If you do a nand backup, you can restore it regardless of what your current ROM is, gingerbread or not.
Thanks yes am looking at trying a gingerbread ROM out, but want to keep all my settings with nand backup.

you can't bring your settings over to the new rom. restoring your nand backup of leedroid on any rom will just bring your back to leedroid.
I'm using gingervillian nowadays it seems better than oxygen
ReDux RC6: stable, fast, light on your battery and slim.
how about a gingerbread rom WITH the new sense? any recommendations there?
Where did you see such ROM? Would you guys say it is true that aosp ROMs use more battery than sense ones? I've read it today and wondered how could that be possible?

There is no such Rom. Either sense+froyo or gingerbread.

Gonna have to wait for HTC to release Gingerbread for the Desire (Or desire HD) for the sense version for Gingerbread to be ported. Shouldn't be a short wait tho, It's already febuarary and HTC are usually good with updates, or so I've heard
Go for Redux rc6! it's superfast, stable and has a extreme batterylife (at least for me)
Casting my vote for Redux rc6 as well, have been using this ROM since rc1, looks great and runs really smooth.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I tried the gingervillian rom but it hung on the villianrom boot screen! i'll try Redux now
I've been using GingerVillain for two days now. I like it xD
Been using Gingervillian for a while now, I really like it, getting a much better battery life than i was on sense.
Everything seems to be working.
Got a Desire HD and have to admit I am impressed with the stock phone as is.
However many have told me that going Custom is like day/night and have decided to take the plunge.
So many choices so please recommend a ROM for first ever flash. Prefer something stable, reliable and does not drain the battery.
Cheers
With the criterias you have I would go for Android revolution 3.5 based on software version 1.84. It's stable and a rom for day to day use. And you can get it both with sense and no sense.
I personaly are using Revolution 4.0 beta, and haven't had any issues with it, but a full version of gingerbread will not be available with sense before a official or leaked version.
But it's a lot of stable ROM's out there, so in the end it's up to personal references..
Good luck

if u want htc sense based rom that it has to be either leedroid v2.2.3 or android revolution 3.5
or
if u want a rom with no htc sense that it has to be cynogenmod7 for Desire HD
Thanks guys, simple straight forward answers.
Android Revolution 3.5 and LeeDroid looks to be the go as I prefer HTC Sense.
I have just install CyanogenMod 7.0.0 without Sense.
Everything looking good.
Phone HTC Desire HD
ROM CyanogenMod 7.0.0
Radio 12.48.60.23P_26.08.04.07_M3
HBoot 0.85.2007
Kernal 2.6.32.35-cyanogenmod
CWM Recovery 3.0.2.5 / Manager 3.0.1.4
ENG S-OFF / Radio S-OFF
I tried Cyanogen 7, coredroid and revolution 3.5 ..
And for me revolution definitely is the fastest, most stable. The other 2 roms showed my trouble in their first day, being sluggish or even hanging. But i've been running revolution without a problem for like 2 weeks now.
I only had the soft microphone and wheater problem. But these are known (do not occur to everyone) and there are tested and working patches out for it.
In a nutshell .... Am really happy with revolution 3.5
If your after the stock look, but customizable, and want the best battery saving Froyo ROM and kernel, definitely LeeDrOiD hands down.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
RCMix 5.95, running fine on my device, nice and smooth. Also used he latest radio file and RIL file to go with it, signal and battery both seem good to me.
ok i have tried numerous ROMs (cm7, MIUI Desire Z 1.4, Senseginger 3.0, VillainROMZ 1.0.0, etc) and none of them seemed very stable.
pretty laggy or clunky and lots fo FC's so i went back to stock rom and
once again phone is working flawlessly.
now my question is...what now?
radios? kernels?
what do you recommend doing now that im rooted and back on stock ROM?
Have u tried virtuous?

What now?
If you're happy with the stock ROM, why did you root?
If you rooted just for the sake of rooting, then you wasted your time. Sure, you can uninstall bloatware but, really, you could have done that with temp root and PM.
Personally, I avoided MIUI (if I wanted an iPhone I would have bought an iPhone) and Sense ROMs (I don't care for eye candy) and the only lag I found with CM7 was due to ADW so I deleted it and either use the stock GB launcher or Launcher Pro and have had no lag issues.

First off, while the stock ROM is actually quite good, you don't know whether you will like newer or custom ROMs better unless you try them first.
Aside from that, there are plenty of reasons to root and stay on the stock ROM. Such as overclocking the CPU, being able to use Titanium Backup and other apps (ShootMe, AdFree), and there are other benefits, as well.
Being rooted isn't just about flashing custom ROMs.

Launcher Pro is currently my favourite launcher, it is very fast, even at stock speeds.
I've found that all ROMs can be choppy from time to time, especially when my phone is not overclocked. I'm running at 1.4GHz most the time, but that's probably overkill.
My vote if you want a "just works" feel is use Virtuous - no point using stock when Virtuous exists. It's so much better optimised and you won't miss stock at all.
thansk for the opinions guys.
since Virtuous is what was recommended...
which version do you recommend for the g2?
You'll want the newest version of Virtuous, as there isn't any significant difference between the g2 and desire z, as far as I know.
You can get the most up to date Virtuous ROM from this thread:
[ROM][04/11/11] Virtuous v1.0.2 (HTC Sense 1.85.72.2) w/Fixes & Enhancements
Alternatively it's available through ROM Manager.
If you want overclocking you'll need either the "Standard" or "Advanced" Virtuous kernel, which are both also available from ROM Manager.
If you click the link on the Virtuous thread, or download using ROM Manager, the latest versions (1.0.2) is the only one available. G2 or Desire Z doesn't matter.
If you are asking which kernel, that's your choice. The ROM comes with the "Virtuous Standard" kernel which is overclocked to 1 GHz. If you want more OC options, up to 1.5 GHz, pick the Advanced Kernel. But keep in mind you will likely have to tinker with SetCPU screen-off profiles, otherwise you will have screen wake issues with the Advanced Kernel. If you want the kernel that "just works" stick with Standard.
awesome replies guys. very insightful.
ive chosen to install virtuous with the standard kernel
heisdnice I'm in the same boat as you. I'm running the xboarder56 ROM right now as it seems to be running stable...mius the GPS not working its ok.
I tried the latest Virtuous ROM and found it to be pretty good but I noticed that I got a FC on Handscent SMS and WiFi calling (even with the latter being removed via ROM Manager patch). I also found that a couple of Storm8 games that were fine on other ROMs (incl. the stock) had some imaging issues.
Trying to go through a bunch to see which ones are good and most suitable for me.
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 !
