It can be different to give a quantitative comparison, as I didn't keep much data on available memory, etc. In theory, it is a more mature build, because the build number of Windows Mobile has rev'd a few points. This should help to keep memory leakage down ... should. The new ROM seems more responsive. If you are happy with the Rogers ROM, there probably isn't much, if any reason to move to the HTC ROM. I decided to experiment and try the new HTC ROM, because I wanted to see if Voice Control 1.6 worked any differently on this latest ROM, not because I was dissatisfied with the Rogers ROM.
i flashed from the rogers to the new htc rom and i have used this rom for about a week and with the htc rom my fone has frozen up 4 times, where i have to remove the battery to restart my fone. i have never had the rogers rom freeze up on me b4 and i used it for about a month. also to me it seems like the htc rom leaks out memory. with the rogers rom i would restart my fone every other day and the memory would not go lower than 19,000kb but with the htc rom if i dont restart it two days it would be at about 17,000 kb. am i the only one experiencing this? + im thinking twice about flashing back to the rogers rom, wat do u guys suggest?
I'm using the latest HTC build. I've used the Rogers rom, and it's loads better than the t-mobile one, but the branding just pissed me off. The htc is much better in that area, and it's definately quick and responsive.
I have two phones, one i use for work and one for testing.
I have tested all the rom but i'm usung now for about 1/2 year the Russian rom, custumized and flashed with the latest radio version.
I'm usung my phone a lot with all the possibilities you have and no problem at all.
Believe me, it is even so fast as the new rom.
But, so has everybody his own feeling..
The Superior ROM
I have two devices also, I use one for testing. The thing that stands out with me is the radio on the Rogers ROM. In the area where I live, I find the Rogers radio, by far superior and the strongest. I'm now back to testing the T-Mobile ROM, with the Rogers radio installed in the T-Mobile ROM. Thanks to jhow99 Fash Tool.zip, since I installed the Rogers radio in the T-Mobile ROM, I notice for some reason it speeds the T-Mobile ROM up and the reboot loop the loop reboot problem has vanish. I now also have a fix to stop the T-Moble default blue screen from coming back every time after you soft reset your device. I will continue to test the T-mobile ROM in this current state and if the T-Mobile Rom continue to run at the speeds it doing now, I might have to say that the T-Mobile ROM is by far superior to all the ROM's. I will remind you, my testing is not yet completed, I'm really shocked about my findings thus far with the T-Mobile ROM........!

RAM - LEAKS
I didn't do any testing along these lines with the Rogers ROM. I do have the latest HTC ROM installed and last night, before I went to bed, I soft-reset my phone. Available memory after the soft-reset is around 18,100. I have less available memory than most, because I use Voice Command. When I checked it this AM, available RAM had dropped to 16,300 - presumably while doing nothing as I slept, 1,800 of ram had leaked.
STABILITY - FREEZE
I thought that it might have been me doing different things. For example, using the Rogers ROM, I rarely enabled Bluetooth Activesync or WiFi, but things have changed and I find myself using WiFi much more and Activesync with my home PC exclusively with Bluetooth. Where I am going with this is that I thought, because of the change in usage patters, I was experiencing some instability ... but this new HTC ROM does seem to freeze up much more often than the Rogers ROM. In fact, I don't recall that the Rogers ROM had ever frozen up on me. It has been right around one full week with the new HTC ROM and I know that I have frozen ... probably five times.

absolutely the ROGERS, first of all, cuz u cannot use 'z' when u find contacts if u choose the latest HTC ROM, Really inconvenient, hm?
additionally, Under HTC ROM, when I press start and scroll down to find the shortcut I want, it breezed for about 1~3s frequently.I'v no idea why this happened. But it seldom occurs when I use the ROGERS ROM.
So I prefer the ROGERS ROM!
With the Rogers Rom I was having to reboot sometimes twice daily. I'm having to reboot much less with the HTC rom. I'd go with the HTC rom.

Would you mind elaborating on the circumstances that required the reboot? I don't intend to sound as if I am denying your experience, I just haven't experienced the same, so I am trying to figure out why that might be the case.
This newest HTC ROM showed lots of promise, but as a few others have experienced, unexpected freezes has me heading back to the Rogers ROM.
Of course, some have experienced unexpected freezes with the Rogers ROM and moving to the latest HTC ROM helped to eliminate the problems the experienced.

search the excalibur (this forum) for rogers and look for links to the rom on rapidshare.
go to Rogers.com and you can get it from there...

I like HTC better but cant put a finger on why
I used Rogers for a week then switched to HTC. seems more stable (rogers was more erratic (Im in Brazil) Rogers seemed faster in some things but in general Ill stick with HTC. QUOTE THE TMO NEVERMORE
PS if you try one then the other you might have an instalation issue (I did) second installation wouldnt work till I reinstalled TMO rom then did new installation. The HTC is much prettier than rogers
Does the Rogers rom support micro SDHC cards?

I've downgraded my radio and gone back to PAYS 2.1
Too many probs with Froyo at the moment from wrong locale, market not working, laggy scrolling, gps and location not working, flaky wifi, etc
I appreciate what the modders are doing but froyo is not ready for daily use yet.

Howgh. It is as you said. Froyo is for masochists.

Working with Froyo since last week.
It's almost perfect. Radio is working correctly and functionality has been tried in deep. I've just found that orientation sensor is not precise as in 2.1. And I'm using: DJ Droid, A2SD+, Odexed. No problem with nandroid backups, nor with pc connection, nor with radio.

Well I've no idea whats going on , I went back to last nights back up reflashed the radio and its been fine. However I am not convinced.
My phone was locked to tmobile I got an unlock code of ebay for £8 killer , cant be locked now so I am happy with that.
I am going to try the other froyo release's I think it maybe something to do with Orange - the coverage is poor at work and maybe froyo isnt reattaching to the network once it loses coverage (i worked in the industry)
One thing baffles me , where and why do my widegts detach and disappear when I mount the phone as an memory stick for videos?
MintyDuck
guys with the Locking issue >> Its not a UK network standard radio so you will always get sim locked, you need an unlock code to change your radio..

they probably disappear cause of apps2sd
Hi,
I have major problems now with 2.2 after update. It was said to be quicker, much quicker.
In fact - my Desire is now slower as HTC Sense is reloading almost every time I come back from Gmail, Camera or other applications. This is so awful! Do you have same issues?
Also - I found that I cannot move all of my apps to SD card. Why? Can I force it?
So far was able to move to SD only 4 or 5 apps...
As for the slowness, sorry but I can't help, here it's the opposite.
About the apps move to SD, the coder has to update the app to be compatible with Froyo and the move to the SD card. Not all have been so far.
Maybe there were a few issues that HTC overlooked and if so, then they will probably bring out a fix for it.
Hi Guys, my update did not go too well and the phone keeps rebooting and I do not get any radio. Any thoughts. Anyone knows where I can get the 2.2 RUU to do a manual install? Thanks
My market application is broken....so i can't install any apps, and i can't browse my sd card for appcs, because a browser app is missing...ahhhhh
I don't have any issues after the upgrade. 2.2 is working just fine! Everything is much faster than before!
EDIT:
Except that Sygic don't wanna start

Android 2.2 Update: Major & Minor problems
Hi.
I'm in the UK and I got the OTA update this afternoon.
The update was over and done in less than 15 minutes.
Since then I had to uninstall & reinstall one app to make it work (WallSwitch) - the minor issue, and my Desire won'tconnect to my home wifi (MAJOR ISSUE!)
Can't talk about the quality of the update yet I've spent all my time trying to get my wifi to connect.
oh almost forgot...it looks as if the previous separate Voice Search is now fully integrated but it leaves the previously distinct Voice Search app installed. I haven't worked out if I can remove it yet.
Update 3rd August: Finally found a workaround for my wifi connection problem: Switched to a using a static ip address. Not ideal but good enough. btw I'm using a Belkin N1 Router with the latest firmware (Belkin haven't updated that in over 7 years and I doubt they ever will!!)
Found several folks with similar wifi connection issues.
Having fixed the wifi issue, I have noticed that my phone seems quicker and more responsive could be the "Update Placebo" effect but I hope not
Update: 30th August: since the Froyo update I'm also having problems connecting to GPS and 3G. I guess I'll have to wait for another minor update.
I dont have same issues as you, but my homescreen is sometimes reseting on its own.. it happens rarly but still, i want a perfect system...
Here all is perfect....froyo to win!!!

After updating my phone replaces the selected recipient of an SMS or MMS with a different random identity. The best part is I've no idea if it's happening or not until the text is sent.
Hey,
Check out this post:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7044128&postcount=18
I had the same problem with the froyo update on my Desire. Step #1 puts it back to how it was (SO REMEMBER TO BACK UP OR USE DIFFERENT SD CARD THAN YOUR USUAL), then you can have a second chance to redo your update.
I just wrote an SMS and froyo didn't recognise the standard dutch library which it came with, I find this quite annoying.
edit: problem fixed by adding the dutch language to keyboard language option.
Update: 30th August: As well as ongoing WIFI problems, since the Froyo update I'm also having problems connecting to GPS and 3G. I guess I'll have to wait for another minor update to fix them.

The update seems rushed (BIG SIGH HERE). Too many minor issues, but they keep on piling up. HTC's Éclair was near-perfect.
I have just spent an absolute age with HTC tech support, and the answer to the few that have been suffering with no data via wifi is................send your handset in for repair.
I honestly have completely lost the will to live, no matter what i say to try and convince them the issue is software related as i can use 2.2.1 absolutely fine, it seems to completely be over everyones head, i even spoke to a manager, who after listening to everything i said, who then spent 3 minutes in silence came back with "broken wifi module"
Arghh, they now want to book my handset in for repair, which i am reluctant to do as they quote a turn around of 20 days currently, i dont want to be without a handset that long.
all i want is gingerbread on my handset and be able to use WiFi, 3G works perfectly
Has anyone had any luck in solving this? its not a router issue, i have tried 4 different routers, its not a signal issue (i have a full signal, and its not dropping the signal), i have tried every 2.3.3 custom rom and stock rom out there and still no data Via WiFi, tried different radio's, and different kernels,
If i go back to using the Android revolution 2.3.2 beta, it works fine, so its defo since the 2.3.3 update.
any help from anyone would be so gratefully recieved i will buy you a pint!
Hi there,
Have you flashed the matching RIL's for your radios? A similar issue affected me but it was only with CM7 and ARHD. I flashed the radio in my signature (good WiFi performance for signal and battery life) and the corresponding RIL and all was working after a couple of reboots.
Hope this helps.
i have indeed pal, really really struggling with this.
A work colleague has just completed his OTA update at work, same issue,
at least i know its not just mine
im wondering if its something to do with the wifi driver in the ota,
Actually its not just the ota, tried the RUU just now, same issue
any Dev's got any clues?
Mate,
I´ve downgraded the ROM as per this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003), and now it is working perfectly. No need of gingerbread, I noticed that I do not need it anyway. Instead of that, my baby is alive and kicking againg.
Cheers.

im back on LeeDroid 2.2.1 custom rom and everything works like a charm, there isnt anything on gingerbread i need, but i want the option, i prefare the menu, but i can not be without WiFi. I have just sent HTC a humerous letter/email, i have spent hours on the phone with them today.
Sent LeeDroid a pm, see if he has any idea why this is, or if there is anyway to sort it
hopefully someone soon can come up with something, there are only a few of us with the problems, but even so HTC should release a patch or something to rectify it. A guy who has a T-Mobile branded device at work has updated fine, but myself and another colleague (both unlocked sim free devices from the carphonewarehouse) have the no data issue via wifi
i am losing the will to live
Having a problem with G-Lite 2 on Desire Z (root, s-off and unlocked - in fact I'm payg and bought the phone outright so never been locked to a network) - the T-Mobile Orange is not found/visible. I can connect to T-Mobile OK, but it can't see other networks. Tried searching here but got deluge of unrelated threads from back when the Everything Everywhere was launched...also have retexted to 2121 (could see it fine on my stock OTA GB rom), still no joy. Could it be a radio/modem issue, not changed those?
Is this cos it's based on a US T-mob rom? Any way of fixing this? Otherwise loving this rom, it's fast and light and unlike the Sense roms doesn't have memory/crash issues every 5 seconds. I'd really recommend it.
Also it's rather bright is there an easy way of changing the min brightness, my stock rom could do darker on 0%? Tried the various apps on Market that are supposed to do this, but they won't go below system min.
Also is there a mod to show battery as the usual animation/green anim?
Thanks, an apols for posting here, as a noob I can't post in the firmware thread, even though I had to do a course in Applied Geekmathics and Super Unix Wizardry to install the thing (jking).
