Stripped Down Small Sense ROM <150MB

Does anyone know of a sense ROM that is stripped out and under 150MB for the /system partition. I use custom MTD partitions and its a pain to keep having to adjust them when switching between a Sense ROM (for EPST and PRL update functions). I know I could increase my partition size, but it seems a shame to waste over 100MB for the difference from Sense to AOSP. I have thought about stripping out all the Apks from Fresh or the like but it still is way to huge. I seem to remember reading for the HeroC a long time ago someone had created a stripped out Sense ROM for just this purpose.

I think konis elite is under 150 mb its preety slick too

Thanks, I removed some stuff and got the system partition down to about 140MBs, hopefully it still works.

I have a stripped down version of CM 7rc1 thats under 70mb
Try mikfroyo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883026 the base is only 165mb, so once you strip out some stuff you should be good to go.

[Q] Custom Roms less internal memory ???

Hi guys,
I have one question:
Why do custom roms have less internal storage free than stock roms ???
for example: - custom rom: 0,92 GB free internal memory
- stock rom: 1,03 GB free internal memory
it's the same base with the same apps.
I know that it isn't a big deal but I would like to know why..
Thanks

The rom lies in the internal storage, so the size of the rom will affect how much space you have left for apps. Most custom roms and stock roms with a few things added and tweaks which makes them slightly larger, resulting in a bit less space.

I'm talking about ca. 100MB less than in stock roms...

[Q] New to root

I am runnig cm7.1 .... I was wondering if some one can tell me which room is the smallest and stable and off course the coolest. I just have 81.17 mg left in my internal memory.. i also have a 32gb sd card ... I love cm7 but i have no idea if there is a better and smaller room out there ...thx for you help....
Somenthig close to ics...lol

Try dGB (just klick on my sig).
For nearly unlimited internal memory use a ROM in combination with DATA2SD / DATA2EXT-script.

I believe you have to decide what you think is cool... Check out what other people choose and their motivations in the other thread... here
Personally I left Sense 3.5 projects and went to stable and fast, and installed AN-Droid 2.1.0 data++, that gave me speed, space and (for me) a bug free ROM.

An attic would be very small and cool. hmmph

q?
Does any body know is there is a room for htc desire call skyrider.... and also i saw like a spinning cube when u change screen to screen can any1 tell me how to get that effect....thx so much ... for ur info i am running cm7.1 and go launcher ex.. please help.... I want to make my droid sexier.....lol thx

small and stable ? well you can go past aosop based roms such as oxygen etc , if you need more space for apps you could use droid zones flashable data2sd script .zip , does the job well and since you have a large sd card it should work well etc ,dont forget to partian your sd before flashing this script .

Thank u . I'll Try it

Go for MIUI rom by XJ. Very fast, great support and stable.

Miui is very different and you would want to test before using it daily... questions about ROM's are awkward because ithere is no best rom, its your opinion..

My 2 cents:
what ROM is the best it's hard to say, because it depends on what are you looking for.
Usually when it comes to HTC Desire we have 3 macro-families of ROMS:
1) AOSP ROMS - Like CM7 or Oxygen, they are based on the STANDARD Android OS, so there is NO SENSE interface. They are usually pretty stable and light, they are very small etc. but only you can say if they are cool
2) Gingerbread - Sense 1.9/2.1 ROMS - These ROMS are somewhat similar to the stock one, with a newer version of Android (2.3.x) and a version of Sense which is close to the stock one. Most of them feature scripts like A2SD+ of Data++ for storing applications on the SD card, so that you won't finish the space too soon as it happens with the stock firmware
3) Sense 3/3.5 or ICS4 - Here we go advanced, Android is usually 2.3.5 and you have a SENSE interface taken from the latest HTC devices, if you want my opinion these ROMs are the coolest, but since they are very different from what was planned for the Desire, you can get many different issues, some programs not working as they are intended to and so on. For sure the overall experience is slower, since the CPU and RAM are downsized for such an interface. ICS ROMS are based on the new Android 4 OS, there's no SENSE interface and they are mostly alpha or beta releases, so if you want something stable you better leave them alone
Here's the link to the desire index thread where you can find all the ROMS for your Desire:

Hope I've been useful

If you enjoy cm7, I have an idea for you to get much more space for apps. First of all download GParted and make two partitions first will be about 30GB fat32 primary partition and second will be 2 GB ext4 (primary ofc). Then go to this thread and flash INT2SD script. After that almost all space from your ext4 partition will be free for apps (ext4 partition is recommended to be 1-2 GB).

So much info thx

[Q] Few Questions regarfing ROM and kernel

dear All,
I am planning to buy this phone currently i m using Samsung Galaxy 3 i am not new to flashing ROM and other things but of course there are few changes in method of flashing the rom in Samsung we use software odin to flashing the rom...
I have few questions before buying the fone.
1) Please tell me the most reliable and good rom to flash
2) Please tell me the most reliable and good kernel to flash
3) and is there hybrid data2sd available in HTC? as the internal memory is small in wildfire too..

anyone can answer...?

/I don't really recommend buying this phone if you plan on playing games/
1)There's CyanogenMod7 or Sense based ROMs
2)Most ROMs come with the kernels that work the best with them
3)Most ROMs make use of DarkTremor's A2SD, but if you'll flash CM7 you can remove some megabytes from the /system and /cache partition and add them to the /data partition (Custom MTD Partitions)

It will be a downgrade (Or a sideways change, at best) for you if you come from a SG3 to a Wildfire. Rest everything is already answered by nejc.

If you like wildfire for it design or budget price you should consider the wildfire S . It has a gpu and comes with gb . But I don't know much on the root unlock side of the phone.

Is there hybrid data2sd available in kernel..? Or we can't even play games with the help of chainfire 3d?
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

Not sure what data2sd is
But you can create an ext partition and then use a script such as DarkTremor's to move all the apps to that partition.
And some games do play, but don't count on playing and 3D or graphically demanding games as the Wildfire doesn't have a GPU.

[Q] Best JB Rom for 1st custom rom installation

Hi,
Due to annoying low memory issue of the Stock ROM, I am planning to update my desire to custom ROM, and thinking to put a JB rom. So far I have searched and looked through CM10 JB and AOKP JB. can someone point out what is the difference between these two and also if there is any other suggestions for the best stable JB rom that I can install as my first custom ROM.
Also i hope these roms support using the SD-ext / SD card to profile large memory size for installing applications, so I don't run into low memory issues often which is the case now with STOCK ROM.
I've currently rooted the device with CWM recovery, S-ON and stock Hboot .
On sd-card partition, what is the recommended sd-ext size to go for, 1/1.5GB , and why it can't be set to 2G or above, any specific reason. In one of the thread I have read the sd-ext partition size is also linked with internal memory , can someone please explain that.
Thank you for your support.

Those three words don't mingle together.
As you don't seem too tech savvy, and this is your first time with custom rom, I suggest you look further.

Hi,
as far as i know there still not exist a bugfree JB rom for our device [Desire].
You can try a Gb rom. The best one is very relative term. For me the the best one is Cronmod with very good battery life (daily normal use up to 2 days.) huge internal memory (INTEXT+ 1Gb) fast and smoot and so on...
good luck.

Hello!
I use this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441
It's very smooth and looks stable + have built in a2sd script + very good support + up do date!
Try it if you want!

You'll be a little disappointed, because JB ROMs tend to be as large as stock HTC Sense, and you will run into space issues even when using some apps-to-sdext scheme.

the only stable JB rom is qiss me rom : http://tw.qiss.mobi/download_software.php?mod=en
others have stability issues mainly with camera and video and not very stable to be used as daily rom

MIUI JB
I can recommend MIUI JB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1850436
On storage: several apps installed (no games) and 150 MB free (out of 500). 2.91 GB free on USB storage. With A2SD storage should not be an issue.
Very stable and fast (certainly compared to ICS). I don't install Facebook as it seems to slow down all the other apps. Therefore I have installed Facebook Lite, loads very quickly!
I have an issue with mobile data (to be clear: not WiFi) but this can be due to my provider (Belgium).
