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!

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.
Hi folks,
I have an htc desire HD(rooted, s-off al that shyte)
and i was wondering if there was a gingerbread ROM without htc sense available for the DHD.
thanks in advance.
Cyanogenmod of course
thanks,
lolzz i didnt know that cyanogenmod was just a pure android ROM
thanks.
But I have another question; why is cyanogen mod olny 80 mb while the stock ROM of the desire HD (and others) is way bigger (230+ mb)
i heard that the way they built cm rom is different to how they deal with ruu roms...
maybe they're quitely different in kernels, i guess

ROMs that are Sense-based like stock and others are generally "heavier" and hence the bigger file size.
CM7 is based on what u termed earlier as 'pure Android'. Without Sense. Hence, it's "lighter".

Good afternoon,
What's the latest ROM I can use on my HTC Desire Z A7272?
If there are a few to choose from, which is best?
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor

Thanks, but more info needed!

What's wrong with its sense?
Try a few ROMs and see what is best for you. Everyone will have different ideas about the "best" ROM.

maybe more... maybe less...
although sense ROMs look cool... AOSP (ROMs without sense) are fast, elegant, stable ROMs for performance... but aren't that pretty when you look at them

belongs to what sense you want 2.1 / 3.0 or 3.5 ?
2.1 i would recommend virtuous sense 2.0
3.0 ...virtuous unity
3.5 ...beatmod bliss sense or virtuous affinity, also rcmix is very good (went back to affinity cause of the light brightness)
...if you install a sense rom (specially 3.0 or 3.5) i would suggest to apply some tweaks: enable swap (swap partition or swapper2), change your system partition to ext4 (using 4ext recovery) and have a look at the supercharger thread (because multitasking is a bit laggy due to low memory)
I suggest you use G2-Slim. This is without sense but has launcher pro as the stock launcher. It also has cool animations if you upgrade to the launcher pro plus edition you also get the (almost identical) sense widgets for people, friends hub, twitter, facebook, message, etc.
The G2-Slim ROM is extremely fast in comparison with other ROMS. Everyone will advise something else to use but it's yours to decide. So take a week flashing and get the best out of it.
I highly suggest you try at least:
-G2-Slim
-Bulletproof MIUI
-Cyanogenmod
I'm not known with the newest sense ROMS atm as I tried a lot of them but in my opinion was the peformence to low and the sense based ROMS I tried had a lot bugs in it too.
So that's my advice and do with it what you want! GL .

When I see this thread - any direct link to the latest non-branded stock rom (2.3.3 android, 2.0 sense) ? I am planning to sell this phone, so it would be nice to make it look like it looked before

you could try one of the shipped roms... careful remove S-OFF before you flash these
I actually used rom from RUU release (took rom.zip, renamed to PC10IMG and flashed) - you will loose root rights, but s-off is ok. And to make the phone rooted it takes few seconds ...
My brother has just got a Desire Z and has asked me to install a custom Rom.
I'm after a sense 3.0/3.5 that is stable and bug free. I have so far seen AHRD and rcmix4.0 which look ok.
What Rom would you suggest?

Try NRGZ's energy roms, Heavily modified for stability
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401560&highlight=energy
Any reason why a Cyanogenmod based ROM wouldn't be suitable? There are some very good ROMs available if those are an option to you.

Yes that is one of my options. It's looking like that or AHRD.
And yes, it needs to be sense.
Reading through the thread, even that Rom has a few issues.
Is there a sense 3.0 Rom thats completely bug free?
This Rom seems good, any reviews?

Hmmm, don't mind 2.1 as long its stable.
Another Rom which seems to fit the criteria is the insertcoin Rom. It's 2.1 but does have 3.0 features.
Any other opinions?

Use the energized one (RCMIX 4.0 energized blue) works great for me...just followed the instructions on the thread to fix the flash issue, and have no problems... been using it for almost a month now
Go with Virtuous Sense 2. Only 2.1 but it's the most stable sense ROM around. I've tried all the sense 3/3.5 and while they can be made to work ok with supercharge and other mods, they still aren't as stable as VS2.
If you want REAL speed and stability you should go for Cyanogen or MIUI, they worked perfect for me. I am trying to find a good Sense based ROM now, but it seems that Virtuous Sense is the most stable, still had some annoying issues with it.
I've been in the same position as yourself but I've recently found solace in Android Revolution HD, which is by far the smoothest, fastest and best Sense 3.5 ROM!
I agree

I agree (+1), the only time my Virtuous Sense 2.0 goes down is when I get bored and want to try something else. Uptimes of more that 15 days are common for me, where Sense 3.X roms rarley get a week without a reboot.
Trust me bliss sense hybrid v3.2 I've tried almost all roms and I find this the best !
+1 for bliss sense. Synergy also gets the job done. I have used both

Affinity 2.05, far the best and stable.

Hi folks,
I am still having trouble with all the custom roms now and then. I am fed up with testing roms every month. Just want a device that is reliable!
Therfore I am looking for a rom that combines the essential advantages of the community efforts with the quality of the carefully tested stock rom. Only the option to maximize the memory for some more apps and AdFree are a must have.
The features should be as following:
- Stock 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (Gingerbread) original Desire-Base from HTC
- rooted
- A2SD support
- Cm7r2 hboot compatible
- AdFree capable
Is there any rom out there that can provide that?
Thanks for your help!
Max
Roms that are close:
Rooted 2.2 with A2SD but no CM7r2 - possible to modify for CM7r2?
That query could be answered if you bothered to look in this thread, stock roms are Sense 1.9 so you could browse for those fitting the description.
This is probably closest to requirements.
Virtually any rom can be shrinked to CM7r2 using this guide.
yeah, I already saw that list, but none of those roms is for CM7r2 hboot. This would help to reduce the amount of apps that need to be moved to /ext

You got the concept wrong. You have to do nothing for apps to go to ext.
Rom I linked fits into CM7r2. Any rom with /system <=145MB fits CM7r2.

Hey guys,
thank you for all your suggestions.
Now I am happy with An-Droid, as erklat recommended.
Data++ hboot

WidgetLocker for lockscreen with ring (because the lockscreen was one of the main reasons I switched to custom roms with sense 3.0)
