hey there guys, just wanting some advice currently i have mine and a friend i know using RCMixHD v3.6 i think its great, if a little problematic, but my friend whos phone i rooted and installed RCMixHD v3.6 isnt really any good at all this and if problems arise he has no idea how to fix it. So what im looking for is the best rom to get him using that is trouble free, but that also gives more space for apps, IMO the only problem with these desires is the lack of space for apps.
So guys you lot are the experts, whats the best desire rom that gives more space for apps, preferably i think without partitioning the memory card. cos i think thats whats causing the problems he gets.
If You don't want to partition SD card try one of AOSP roms, but the best way to get more spare for apps is to partition SD and flash A2SD+ rom.
Go s-off and flash either Oxygen or CM7 hboot then the corresponding rom. Personally I have CM7 because I find it better. Anyway, I'd you need to, you can setup A2SD later if need be but you do get 300+ MB of storage with these hboots.
I don't like to use A2SD because for 1, I have a slow card, class 2 and second, it can really **** up.

I'd rather go with Redux or Oxygen. and trick them out with apps.
I'm using RCMix S 1.6.1 A2SD+ and it's really fast and stable. I've got lot of, ~50 apps, and phone running without any lags. Updates are very often ~1-2 in a week. It's even work on s-on phones. Only condition is sd partition, but if you want a lot of space you need to have one.

If you want ROM with sense i would go with Leedroid 3.0.6 (stable, fast and has App2SD out of the box). If you want ROM without sense, i would go with Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. It doesn't come with App2SD by default, but you can easily install it.
Well, maybe you should just try out?
Start with oxygen or devnull, install apps, make sure sync all to cloud.
After that try other roms, everytime you flash new rom - get your apps and settings from cloud...
That's what I do when I'm bored and wanna try a new rom....

Might want to check on that, the RCMix team are responsible for some of the best, most stable, and most regularly updated ROM's on the HD/Sense3 side so they DO know how.
I would second RCMix, problem is it's by the same guys..
i go with reflextsense 2.05 by now, and downloading.
for me it's fast n stable.
thanks to Neo..
I have used cm, oxygen, insertcoin, leedroid, but my favourite of all is Reflex S by Neo. Currently using 2.0.5, but may switch back to 2.0.2 as I prefer the newer messages app.

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I rooted my Desire I think a month ago now.
Since then I tried Modaco R26, Cyanogen 7.02, Redux, Defrost and since two days I am using F1 Cyanogen.
I like Defrost very much, it's Froyo (love the froyo white statusbar theme) and it's small and fast. I also like Redux, Gingerbread, but also small and fast.
F1 is Cyanogen based, stripped from lots of stuff that you can dl yourself from the market afterwards if you want. Very nice too.
Some odd thing (to me), I have one or two apk's, like simple clock widget, in some ROM's (Defrost) it will install in English and I will see it in English in Market too, in others (Redux and F1) it's only available in Chinese and if I install the same apk it also turns up as a Chinese version on my phone..

-CR_Mod_2.13.531.1 OTA
-HaXspresso 2.2.1..
i would like to use the rom with more free internal memory..
Please advice me on this..thank u..
It sounds like you have a slow or low quality sd card if for any reason darktremor lagged your phone. The best option for you would be to S-OFF your phone and follow the instructions for creating custom MTD partitions. There is step by step instructions in a thread by HebrewToYou in the dev section.

you should try the rc1 cm7 from cyanogenmod...haxspresso and cr mod have only about 70.mb of internal memory for your apps,gratiouslide i dont know and 3rd sense i heard its good.
Ive been using the GratiousSlide rom with apps2sd and it works like a charm. Ive got a lot of apps the need to be on the internal memory and only have about 30mb left on it and it still runs perfect. Definitely one of the best roms out there. Only thing ive noticed that doesnt work is the keyboard light, and Swype needs to be reinstalled. Id recommend it to anyone.
Try LegendtoSlide.
Its stable, has HTC Sense and is pretty decent in the speed department.

3rdSense - 1.00 w/ a2sd by DT is an awesome combo.
Hi everyone!
In my pursuit of the ultimate rom i've settled for the insertcoin 0.3++......Took some risks to customise the phone and flash the cm7 hboot but now i'm there
I really like the new Leedroid 1.4 and the Auraxtsense 1.84 but i think this shades it!I want to chat in the developers area of the said roms but not enough posts....
Tried the Alpha revision custom sense hboot for leedroid and aurax but it would'nt have it,pity really but now on insert coin i have a load of apps and 175 mb internal memory!
Is there anyone who is using the same rom as me and would care to share their thoughts on the competition?
PS i've tried all the HD roms except starburst i think....Done the vanilla roms,oxygen,cm,gv etc
Cheers Simon
Haven't used said ROM myself, but I'm currently hunting for the right one for me. As great as it is and as appreciative as I am, little things are bugging me with the Oxygen ROM (I actually just came on to get some info on the stock 2.3.3 HTC sense for nexus s on my desire)
Out of interest what's made you choose this one?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have been through most easily,even miui but i got to like insertcoin 1.8h,quick n slick with no memory leaks either.Went to 2.0 a2sd and data ext but thought it was laggy....this one you have to flash the cm7 hboot which just fits all the rom to nand flash...the hboot size is 130mb i think and the rom fits at 120mb so you get a load more internal memory considering the standard hboot is 250mb......used to like oxygen but gingerbread 2.3 isn't that good,i thought froyo oxygen was better.
This rom i'm using goes like [email protected] even while it's installing all the apps on the market upon installation
Then you realise it starts to slow down when you've installed your apps.

I'm a big fan of the data++ sensehd roms too. Rcmix densensensenised with launcherpro went like the proverbial off a hot stick. Did notice some slow down once all apps were installed but it is a seriously BIG improvement over other apps/data to sd. Flashing hboot was scary at first but now I dont hesitate at all. If anybody noobs are tempted then download fastboot commander. If there's any demand for it I'll do a walk through.
Having said all that, I'm currently playing with oxygen with custom hboot and found it again faster still. The only thing compares for me was the hiapk rom (based on cm7) which I tried briefly. Anybody else had a go on this one? miss the sense goodness though.
will be back on a hd ginger sense soon what with the ginger bravo leak.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
To be honest i have 43 apps on there ontop of all the ones which come as standard and the phone is fast...Again in all honesty it's not as fast as i thought it would be
I'd love to go back to a vanilla rom again but i keep missing sense.....Can't find a weather app as good as htc...that 90mb hboot flash might just be in the pipeline very soon and have a bit of oxygen this weekend.
PS I recommend fastboot commander also
Beetnubbin......I'm going to ditch this rom,it's not as fast as i thought....Leedroid 2.4 was faster i thought even though there's a few minor bugs.
Auraxtsense 8.4 went well for me too....is there any other rom you recommend mate?....Have'nt tried starburst classic yet,any ideas?
Hi all, I have HTC desire and I am constantly running out of internal memory I am going to root the phone to solve this. I am a complete noob to this so which custom ROM would be easy to install and stable out of the following Cyanogenmod7, LeeDroid 3.0.5 or MIUI ROM, Thanks
Id try the cyanogenmod or miui.
Cyanogenmod 7 or Gingervillain plus CMHBOOT(from alpharev.nl) can solve your problem I think
Thanks for replies jroc716 & plohoi. I will have closer lock at the ROMS ye have recommended
all these rom's r running fast and stable. internal-memory problems had gone by integrating ext-partition(s). so which rom u take is just a matter of ur personal favors.
I have had look at the ROMS suggested in this tread and I am going to flash MIUI Rom by xavierjohn22 but not sure which version is most stable. Should I flash the froyo version (2.2) or 2.3.4 gingerbread (latest version) or 2.3 gingerbread. . I be grateful for any help on this, thanks
1st of all you better obtain an SD Card at least Class4 then follow the guide with the link I will give below. This will help you move your applications to SD and have more space.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
And as a ROM Choice, better use InsertCoin

Thanks alpivelopx for the reply. Ya I have class 4 SD card and I have carefully studied the noob proof guide just can’t make up my mind on which rom to flash.
I likr the look of MIUI have any experience using this rom? Which version is most stable?
I have had a look at InsertCoin and having the new Sense would be cool.
I use google maps a lot and assume this bug “compass doesn't always point north” will be a problem. Is there a stable Froyo version?

At first: One cannot say, which is the best rom. It's a personal feeling. You should read the posts where the authors describe there themes and then you should decide. If you cannot, just try one. If you like it, stay with it.
I think you should install the latest version of MIUI. It's usually the most stable version.
I cannot find a (stable) Froyo version of Insertcoin. Maybe ask the author (baadnewz) if he can upload it for you.
Thanks Matdroid, I think your right. I'll try a few roms and decide which is best for me.
I can recommend Leedroid 2.4.1.
A very good and stable Sense rom with A2SD+!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Like others have said... it's more of a personal opinion with ROMs as to their speed and usefulness but if you can get by with the compass issue until it gets resolved (hopefully shouldn't be too long as devs are working like crazy at porting sense 2.1/3.0 to desire) I warmly recommend InsertCoin.
The chef is pushing updates like there's no tomorrow an also makes time to answer people's questions (how he manages it I don't know...) and also you have all the info you need in the first 2 post of the thread.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
PS: regarding speed, keep in mind that benchmark apps (Quadrant) don't tell the full tale. Try the ROMs for yourself.
I second leedroid 2.4.1..... fast and stable with a2sd+. I wouldn't bother with gingerbread yet still a bit buggy
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
+1 on leedroid 2.4.1
My first not-htc-rom was leedroid v.3.0.5. It was nice. But since a while i use redux v1.2. I like it much more than leedroid, although you have to readjust a little to use a non-sense-rom.
The best froyo sense rom is the InsertCoinHD 2.0.1 Data2Ext.
The best gingerbread rom is InsertCoin v25 CM7.
Keep in mind that Cynogenmod and Miui don't include Htc Sense on it.
I've been using on Leedroid (froyo) for sometime and it was great and stable.
I'm running now Insertcoin v25 (gingerbread) and it's also great. I got 2 issues that I can live with - the compass issue (not pointing north) and the camera makes my phone boot itself sometimes. but other than that it's great.
Both roms have a2sd+, and if you want something stable than I recommend Leedroid 2.4.1. After some time you can get gingerbread roms based on the official release from htc (something like mid-june or a bit later)
Hi
Hmm running out of internal Space *gg*
I Recommend you use InsertCoin, or an ROM Which fits on CM Hboot, Here is the System Partition smaller, difference space is added to userdata, so "more internal" Memory for you.
Pls. Think if you change your SD Card, or crash of it, your OS Cant booting because 1/3 of our System is stored on it. (sdext)
S-Off required.
If you don´t want to manipulate hboot (afraid of crashing bootloader), use any App2SD Rom.
I have many Problems with DATA2SD and DATA2Whatever Scripts.
App2SD is very good.
*I User Insertcoin GS_V26* and i´m happy with it.
Baadnewz is providing these Rom with STock or CM Hboot.
Just Look at a few Roms, (Download 2-3 Roms and test it) an fix install it, which you mostly like. ))

@MindVision1Thanks for the reply. I am right in saying the Hboot resizes the internal memory to allocate different amount of space to the system. You can get different hboot's from http://alpharev.nl/ so I am right in saying the cm hboot you recommend is the Bravo CM7 on alpharev site.
So If I go with the CM Hboot I have to get a custom rom that fits the 130MB system memory and will also have 300MB free for apps on the internal memory.
If some of the rom is on the sd card and I remove it or it gets damaged I will have a major problem?
How do you know what size a ROM is?
My desire is stock with no branding
Which one and why?

But did you use rcmixs?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I did on daily base... Insert Coin is great, I use v28 Nightly, but also love Robocik's work. The best thing is to try both of them and decide which one is best for you. InsertCoin seems stable and fast... but then again Baad... used RCmixHD as start point...
I'm kinda curious as to the differences too.
Yes I also try RCMix S rom, try them to have your own opinion, try InsertCoin Cm7 Hboot Version
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Well you wouldn't beleive but there are some differences. First of all depends which HBOOT u r using,,couse rcmixhd makes it pretty fast and stable on both stock & cm7 hboot. If u are stock u can try robo's new script x-a2sd and u get over 300 mb internal to start. But feels like InsertCoin somehow perfected cm7 rom ver, while stock is still stuck with some lags. Depends on lot's of things. I use louncher pro always, and it requires strong and stable rom to run smoothly. The differences you can feel...
Maybe i can ask different. What things made you choose one of them after testing them both?
Speed or stability or shiny stuff?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well I've been sorta switching between both of them for a while because they are in my opinion the two best Gingerbread Sense ROMs around for the Desire. There aren't in fact any major differences between the two to be honest since they both strive to do pretty much the same thing. InsertCoin gets updated more frequently I find than RCMix since custom ROMs are created by ordinary folk who have other commitments. Both ROMs have few bugs though what happened recently is I used the latest RCMix to find that the maps app kept crashing and then I used InsertCoin to find Paypal and the Collins dictionaries I bought had disappeared from the Android Market. My advice would be to try both and see which one works best for you. If you have Rom Manager Premium, you can also get OTA of InsertCoin which seems to be the most up to date one these days though Baadnews has now created nightlies for InsertCoin as well as a stable version which is also very handy I think. I reckon when the official Gingerbread Desire ROM gets leaked, there'll be less bugs. Anyway have fun!
The Insercoin 1.02 is perfect,
but i had got 1 problem, it's the TTS service can't use
Well, I am using InsertCoin 1.0.2 and I only encountered some minor problems: Facebook for Android does not work properly and the name of my operator changed back to the earlier one. Other than that, I like this ROM.
Agree with Iunoma. I keep flashing InsertCoin's Nightly ver for few days now and call me freaky but somehow feel that InsertCoin's even Nightly rom is faster than RCmixHD. My first choice speed, then stability, then extra stuff... So, there you are. I would rather flash perfected froyo then GB and Kingdom port if they gets slow. And I did at first, then flashed lots of rcmixes and InsertCoin's Nightly at the end... But the most helpful was flashing CM7 over stock HBOOT...

Hi,
After an about half year with insert coin 1.1.4 by Baadnewz I'm looking for a replacement mostly because I want to renew.
I know that many roms are great but wanted to hear suggestions from users that tried few and especially if someone already did the change from the insert coin rom.
I don't want to loose sense so only roms with it are acceptable for now by me.
The phone has stock h-boot 0.93 cwm and S-off.
Need calls recording kernel with it and ad hoc function working like I have now.
Thank you for helping

Hi. I changed from insertcoin rom because baadnewz no longer develops it. The first rom I've installed after insertcoin was Runnymede by Sebastiaan15. It's a great rom, but I changed it again when Seb announced he will not develop the rom for a time. I installed then RunnyRom and I can tell you that it's a good rom, with sense 3.5 , fast and smooth. Now i'm running runnymede again (because of the INT2SD feature), but you can try both of them. good luck
i suggest you Mild wild 3.7v
is best ROM for daily usage

If you want to install runnymede with int2sd-s make sure your card is at least class 4. For me, with a class 2 one, the rom has a considerable lag. Now I want to buy a class 6 (or 10) one for a better performance.
I also had Insert Coin untill yesterday. Switched to Mildwild. Not sure if this stays on for long... But i'm not sure which other rom I should try.
Miss pndedin
Switched from RunnyMede AIO to SuperNova 2.4.0.1! I now have (almost) infinite storage (thanks to data2sd) and the batterylife is outstanding! It's the perfect rom for everyday use
Runnymede AIO 6.0.4.3 with Droidzone #18 kernel. Very stable
I have Mildwild 3.8
im not too fond of the rom because of small aesthetic flaws but it seems to be working fairly well.
CM7 rocked a lot but since it didnt get updated anymore i switched to mw 3.7 and later to 3.8 cause its based on cm7
so far it works well,
if u want a small fluent rom there is dGB
if u want a sense rom and dont mind having to partition ur sd and stuff there is runnymede as ppl said before me
Try MIUI for change! its theme engine is great, pretty stable too, using it for nearly an year now. Download at miuiandroid.com.
Lol, thread is like a bunch of kids all screaming out who their favorite sports hero is!!
Mate, just look at which are the popular threads in the Dev section, pick two or three ROMs that seem to have the features you want and try each of them for a few days.
There is only one person that can tell you which is the "best ROM" for you, and that is yourself...
