[Q] Which ROM?

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.

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+!

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.

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. ))
Sorry for my bad english, i´m from austria *hmp*

I recommend Oxygen or MIUI! Both very good and stable!

@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

Best Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM?

Hey Guys,
I'm thinking of switching ROMs, Currently running RcMix S - Just wondering which is the best sense 3.0/3.5 ROM which works with minimum bugs and is smooth/fluid !
Apart from that I'm just wondering if it they are fine for a everyday ROM yet?
I'm seriously thinking of Aurora v3 as the video on the post does show it is quite smooth.
Other information :
Desire running Stock HBOOT, 8GB memory card with a EXT4 partition.
Thanks a lot guys

There are so many topics about this, you can check that out, many recommendation... for everyday I won't recommend any 3.5 ROM

Really you should just read the relevant threads in the dev section. Coolexe, MichaelM and Chaqmol have all recently released newer Sense ROM's.
All have their bugs and issues but you'll never find out unless you do your research. There's no quick answer.
People will say "use Aurora" or "use Cool3D AceS v4" but all have issues in one way or another.

I searched the forum before making a new topic but wasn't able to find anything.
I did read, got a bit confused I mean come on look at the amount of roms there lol,
I wanted to know what the general user thought about it - I understand that there are bugs but till what extent is it usable as a daily ROM and how many actually what exactly is their experience.

I'll be sure to check that out , thanks

You can find coolex new roms on cooldevs dot com he doesn't updated his post and it's hard to find the new rom.

for 3.0/3.5 I'd say Cool3D AceS 3.0
I tried Runnymede 3.5 from Coolexe but it was a bit sluggish - needs a few more versions I think before its as good as AceS

For Sense 3 Rom I would say Cool3D AceS v4 is one of those you can try. But you will have to get it in www.cooldevs.com as he has not updated his post.

Bang on! had cool3D sense before but the aurora V3 is TASTY!....Just seen V4 is out

Right now i'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299554 v2 and it's smooth

I'm using michealm's AceSmod007 3d, it's fast and stable. The original kernel may be abit slow, can try gingercakes 8.0b cfs no2way or 0.6d. Some say snq kernel is smoothest but I have yet to try that. I saw the aurora video, AceSmod007 3d is much smoother than that

Try Aurora, is really fast n stable...

Aurora v4 is the best one out now.

I very highly recommend using the Android Revolution HD ROMs. I will never go back to a different ROM after using the ARHD ROMs, they're so smooth and fast I was shocked. Check out the thread and choose the best one for you.

My mistake, I misread :/ for the HTC Desire (not HD), I have heard the Aurora V04 is outstanding! It is a 3.0 Sense ROM

[Q] Which Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM is fastest & Most Stable with Stock HBoot & A2SD++
Which Sense 3.0 or 3.5 ROM is the fastest and Most Stable with Stock HBoot & A2SD+
Please also post the link to the thread and if possible a step by step guide of what zips need to be flashed for the rom to work properly with my setup which is Stock HBoot with A2SD+ and a 1gb Ext3 SD Card Partition.
Im currently Using RevolutioN v2.0 A2SD+ By TamirDa
Ive tried using RevolutioN 3D By TamirDa and while it was everything i wanted from a sense 3.5 rom as pretty much almost everything worked yet main problem was it was LAGGING! I want a 3D spinning Homescreen Sense ROM with Photogrid Widget thats fast and stable. Thanks

I love how people post here and expect everyone else to do the leg work for them. Talk about McDonalds society!!
Let me tell you now, you are about to get suggestions of about four or five different ROMs, with each person vowing their suggestion is the best and everyone else is wrong. Where that will leave you, is still stuck at square one and needing to get off your butt and go try a few different ROMs and do some RESEARCH for yourself.
Sorry to sound harsh, but there are two or three threads just like this one posted every day. It's really not so hard to go looking to work out what works best for your own needs and wants in a ROM. Everyone has a different opinion on what is best, it is much simpler (and more educational) to just work through it yourself...

I think in this moment it doesn't exist Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM which is bug free AND smooth as Sense 2.1 ROMs.

What about Runnymede 5.0?? does it have any bugs? I'm planning on flashing it
Please share ur experiences.

It has a few standard bugs, as any other 3.5 ROM in this moment.

I HAVE tried other roms the point was to see other people's experiences its Nt that I'm lazy just to test some roms u have to be using one for a couple of days and with like almost 8-10 sense 3.0 / 3.5 roms out there it can take weeks of testing and re-configuring your homescreen etc
It will become very frustrating so trying to get as much information as possible before going crazy with flashing seemed like a good choice

IMHO it is the best to wait a little bit longer that developers polish those 3.0/3.5 ROMs.

tried 2 and still too slow...
we will have 2 wait.

Yeah, they are usable but often sluggish and also there are some irritating bugs too. But I am sure in shorter time developers will fix that.

Recently I have tried Runny 5.0, Runnymode007 and Revolution 1.5 with sens 3.0.
The ROMs with sense 3.5 I found a bug with the usb connection, everytime I pull down the notification menu the connection restarts. : (. Otherwise Runny 5.0 and Runnymode007 v3 are very fast. Noticed that Runnymode007 v3 has highest read/write speed (about 10MB/s) on sd card, if you have high class card of course. Also both of them have camera lag on video recording.
Revolution 1.5 with sens 3.0 is most stable and fast but doesn't have RCTweaks and u can't turn off CRT animations or something else u don't like.
I'm currently running Runnymode007 v3 mostly because the high speed of sd card.

Currently using Runnymede 5.0 cm7r2 ad2sdx. So far really quick, smooth and stable.
There is a new stock version too. I would recommend taking a look.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

3.5 is very laggy.

Sebs Runny Mede 4.0.3 SE - use C7/R2 Boot and set EXT4 to 1024 MB + and use AD2SDX. Super fast and stable. Revolution 2.0 was good but battery life could be better.

Revolution 3.0. But make sure you use the kernel in my signature!

[Q] Latest ROM can I use? - HTC Desire Z A7272

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 .

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 ...

New rom suggestion after insert coin 1.1.4

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...
