[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*

@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

[Q] Most stable 'stock-like' rom

Hey guys
I'm flashing my mom's Desire (she has no need for any extra features above the desire's stock ones) so I'm wondering if you have any recomendations on a very stable and fast ROM?
I would have installed the stock desire rom, but since I rooted and s-offed the device already it seems a waste to lose it.
Thanks alot for your help
Oh and Sense is a must, she just learned how to use it, if i give her an AOSP rom she will have to learn to use it again...

Why would you root it at all when she doesn't need any extra functions? Also, you choose wrong timing to do so with official Gingerbread release in the upcoming weeks.
But, if I was doing so, I'd flash AuraxTSense 8.4.

sorry to barge in but i was wondering the same question! i know whats the OP need, he bought a new phone and giving the Desire to his mom. am i right?
even if you are not, i just bought SGS2 today and giving my Desire to my mum. need recommendation too. the most stock look and can be stable and no performance decrease in a long run. cuz i am gonna be away from her when college opens, so i dont want the phone to have trouble.
S-offed, rooted, Cm7 r2 hboot. but i'll go back to stock hboot maybe.

2.10.405.2 INIT.D ROM v2.0
This version is mostly identical to the first except it has a minor mod to enable init.d scripts. No scripts are included, so this won't affect anything in itself. However, it gives much greater flexibility for mods, and is required if you want to make some of the changes below. This version of the ROM doesn't include the radio, so you must flash an up to date version yourself if you don't have one already. You do not have to install the first ROM before this. Updates: latest Superuser app and new boot image (closer to stock).

Hit me up if you don't know how to partition her SD card to have an EXT4 partition
Basically, if you just flash the first two download links in the quote, you'll have rooted ROM that is entirely stock. No extra features or anything that isn't in the HTC RUU. Then if you flash the powersaving mod, nothing changes featurewise but internally the phone will use less power and her battery will last longer. She won't need to do a thing. With A2SD+, all you need to do is go through installed apps every now and again and move them to the internal storage (as the phone is "tricked" into installing apps on the EXT4 partition instead of on the phone itself, which means more apps available to be installed but just as fast as normal).

It was my phone for less than a week over the easter, rooted, s-offed installed rcmix v8 then I got myself my new Desire HD and been using that (sig).
For the Desire I installed RCMix's rom since i didn't mind any bugs, restarts and force closes since i thought i would update it on regular basis with the new versions. But as soon as I got my new phone, I left the country (student in uk) and just came back this week for holidays, and my mom has been complaining with reliability so I'm returning her phone to the most stable build of 'stock-like' rom.
If you mean flashing a RUU and then rooting and s-offing that just seems a bit of a waste of time. Since it's already rooted and s-offed i would like to keep it that way.

I might give it a try but im using sense 3.0 on my DHD and even with the newer CPU and more memory and more frequent updates it still has a few glitches. I searched through the thread and it seems that the ROM still requires some bug fixes (ppl talking about bugs with headset and other small bits and bobs)
Thanks everyone for your replies, I will check out the rom's and see which one will suit her best!

No probs.
I'm using a D2EXT modded version and I don't have any problems with the headset. The v2.0 is pretty ironed out, 2.1 is where people seem to be having issues. But for your mum I guess the Twppic74 ROM would be best, definitely!
@theguybefore Eh, but they're all pretty clear that you need the Cyanogen hboot? I guess you're right!

That's old info. Latest news is that it passed QC and should be released in the next three weeks.
Forget 3.0 etc port stuff etc., you know you need rooted stock. She doesn't care for Sense 3.0 but cares if bluetooth doesn't work with handsfree.

Pretty sure bluetooth works ok with this ROM. It's hit and miss and dependant on hardware. The RCMixS ROM as I said has bee really ironed out. There's also the InsertCoin ROM which he's more up to date with advancements!
Hope you find the Teppic74 ROM well! Served me well for many months.

[Q] Various Desire GSM Rooting and ROM Questions

Hey Guys
So basically here is the deal..
My brother has a very old HTC Desire GSM and now out of warranty.. runs like an elephant.. never rooted.. I am going to be meeting him in few weeks and want to root his phone and put a custom ROM so that his experience increases..
Now he is not a techie, so will take whatever I give him.. I have rooted other phones before.. so not my first time.. but first for this model..
Now my questions are
1) Anything I need to check on Desire for root ability ? I can instruct him over net to check it
2) I guess first step will be to root it.. best to use unrevoked?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
3) Then put a custom recovery.. this one best? Clockworkmod recovery?
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img
OR touch recovery???
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-bravo.img
Or any other one??
4) Now the ROM -- I normally use Cyanogenmod in phones.. Is that still the best for this .. My main concern is that all hardware should be working and stable.. So which is most recommended?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
CM: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get.../archive/update-cm-7.2.0-RC3-bravo-signed.zip
Leedroid: http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/Bravo-ROMs/LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB-Port-R5-A2SD.zip OR data edition???? differene??
Any other?? :
Not listing ICS roms as I guess many hardware issues can still be there..
What I am looking for is that he can use app2sd so that he can store apps on SD and save internal memory and is fast , nice, stable and good free memory for the gimmicks
5) Put googleapps package..
Also
1) Any custom kernel / radio needed??
2) What are the steps require to combine all the above??
3) Anything else I am missing for the device
Any help will be great!!!
Cheers

Erm uv kinda got it. CM or oxygen would be your best bet for a rom. Personaly imo i think 4eXT Recovery is the best.
Sent from my HTC Desire

If you want the Sense flavor go with Supernova rom its the original gingerbread update plus the space. Aosp, it would be oxygen or cm7. Oxygen has a built in Apps2sd in it you only need to make a partition on the sd card. I suggest S2E app on the market for apps2sd on CM7.
If running on CM7, you can check ManU kernel. Oxygen use their own kernel so you can use others without breaking functionality.
Get the latest Oxygen rom at http://oxygen.im
If you are going for CM7 or Oxygen I would also recommend to S-off using Alpharev or Revolutionary (what to use will depend on the hboot version) so that you can flash an hboot with custom partition to give you more space. Check the troubleshooting guide on my sig to get an overview. Good luck.

I think this kind of rules CM out.
Best bet to stick with Sense 1.9 roms made for Desire. That way you won't break his routine and he'll reap the benefits of having increased space, battfix if you do it for him, LS tweak etc.

So this one is recommended? Supernova Xtreme?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
Or Oxygen 2.3.2 ??

Going with higher sense ROM's any better or recommended?? or no point??
and 4EXT Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
Basically looking for a ROM which can make him feel his phone like brand new, make it fast and enough internal memory, save stuff on App2SD (or Data2SD perhaps??)
So in essence. do the following??
1) Root via unrevoked (will check his HBOOT version and post here soon for recommendation) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
2) install 4EXT recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
3) Install ROM which is either CM7.1 / Supernova Xtreme / Oxygen 2.3.2 ? (please recommend best)
If I choose the above way. do I need to do anything additional like (prefer none if no benefit)
a) kernel update???
b) install seperate app like app2sd or data2sd and configure (would prefer not, would like it inbuilt in the ROM for ease)
c) radio update???
Help me make final decision
Cheers..

Radio update might be necessary. Look at cronmod ROM thread, in desire development. It has direct link to newest radio in the first post. When you're there you can check out the ROM. I like it.
For a tech noob I'd also recommend supernova. Stock kernel is sufficient. I don't remember if you need partitioning, but it says on supernova homepage under instructions. Be sure to follow them.

[Q] root, upgrade or other

Hi there
I am new to this forum but have been told this is the forum to go to for continuing development on the htc desire.
I bought an unlocked htc desire from ebay but as there are no updates was wondering what would be my best options for improving performance and enhancement of the phone.
I would like to know wether i should root the phone.
Upgrade to 2.3
or just leave it.
I would like to extend battery life and update the rom to like jellybean or other.
please advise me

My advice would be start off with a good gingerbread Rom (android 2.x), as its a mature format you can be pretty sure the phone will be stable, and all features will work. I like both the RSK team's Rom and mildwild's cm7 one, but there are many I've not tried.

You should definitely root, and s-off it to get the best out of it. For this, check the "All Things Root" guide in my sig.
As frosty said, you should start with a stable GB rom, whether it's Sense or not.
If you only want to upgrade the Desire to the official 2.3 rom, then check the RUU in my sig.

root, upgrade or leave
thankks for that.
are there only a certain amount of customs roms available for Desire , ie, CM7(GB) or can you install newer versions.
This rooting sounds good but before i doi am going to need to know more, especially the continual development for this device.
is there still good support from XDA for this device.
I am after good support and devlopment.

Why not look at the development thread and make up your own mind if the community is active or not?

root, upgrade or leave
looks busy.
just hope i dont do the wrong thing.
so is it possible to install other roms apart from cm7 what about the latest roms??

Read the first couple of posts, and the last few pages of the thread to get a feel for stability and issues. I see a simple, basic decision process, decide if you want something new and shiny, which might have a few problems, or something old and maybe a bit boring, but reliable.(gingerbread vs ics/jb)
Once that decision has been made just choose your Rom, make sure you have the right hboot for the one you want to try, so long as you have your nandroid backup to fall back on you're unlikely to break anything.

I have been reading the posts and threads about rooting and it sounds quite complicated.
Reading a mag about android and rooting you can also do it without connecting to your pc.
As I am not technologically minded on phones , the mag seemed to make it sound easier.
I think the software for the phone or website is called z4??
any ideas on this.
many thanks

A quick search suggests it's not a lot of use for us. Rooting and s-off are relatively complicated, but worth the rewards, and you can't expect a whole new phone experience without a little effort...

I'm in similar situation. I rooted my 2.2 Froyo yesterday. Installed Link2SD made appropriate partition and moved apps to it. So thats not the problem anymore.
Now I'm wondering if I should instal custom ROM and which one?
My high priorities:
Stability
Advanced functions working properly (eg. tethering)
Speed (faster than stock froyo)
My low priorities:
As new as possible (JB?)
Sense
Easy to install
Which one should I get? Or should I stay on Froyo?

You can't have sense and jb at the same time. If you want sense, you will have to install gb. If you want JB, you will have stability problems after a while, if not in the first week.
So what you are asking is impossible to fulfill.
If you want a stable sense, try Coolsense v3, or Runnymede aio special edition.
If you want jb, then try VJ's JB.

root, upgrade or leave
thanks for that.
so my aim is the following:
1.- newer and stable rom
2.- better performance
3. good and continual support for that rom.
all help welcome.

I know very little, but in my opinion, yes. Start with something tried and tested..and popular. Once you've gone through the process of rooting and flashing a new (to you) rom that's known to work, do the backups and have a look at the new stuff we'll never officially have, ics and jb. That backup will be there to give you a quick "Get me outta here" option.

[Q] Sense ROM for my noobish father

So time has come to switch my good ol' Desire for the One.. It's still in great shape though so I will give it to my father, who has never had a smartphone before. My mother has had a Desire for a while now too, so I'd like to pass the responsibility of teaching him how to operate on it to her.
As such, I need a Sense rom that is as close to stock Froyo as possible, very stable and with a good battery life(which will seem short anyway for a smartphone-newbie. I've tried MIUI and MW's Oxygen roms in the past and while I was very happy with those, I need a Sense one for this and I haven't tried any of them to be honest so I have to ask.. Which do you consider to be the most stable, fast, good battery Sense rom available?
So far I considered downgrading but thought it's too much of a hassle for nothing since there are a variety of Froyo ROMs but I have no idea which are the best in time.
It doesn't have to be the newest, as I said even an older Sense version is alright since I want it to look as close to Froyo as possible. Space isn't much of a concern either but since I can't take my card to the new phone a2sd is welcomed. And one last thing, though I don't know how feasible, if any of them have additional language support, Romanian in this case, that'd be swell.

Go to development section and theres a thread at the top for a rom called CoolSense, thats prob the best oldish sense rom there is. U will need to partition ur sdcard tho if u want a2sd, theres a guide in my sig.

I already have my card partitioned since I used a2sd/d2ext as well in the past. I assume you're talking about CoolDroid v3 being based on CoolSense? Or the older CoolSense 2.1, since CD seems rather new and bloated(for my needs) with GB/ICS themes etc.
