What rom would you guys recommend me?
I need something just plain fast that can call and text, something that can be OC'able too.
Don't need to play games, watch video's or play music, just calling and texting, don't need any extra included apps or wathever either.
you can try cm7, devnull or a stock 2.2 whit oc kernel, i haven't use devnull in a long time but it is probably stable now

So if I want to change from Fresh 3.1 to lets say...Baked Snack, and I have the donated version of Titanium Backup...what settings do I use on Titanium backup to backup as much as I can and restore it on the new rom without getting any FC issues or other issues?
Also, my Fresh rom has that red theme, EnamoRED, so can that be used on Baked Snack as well??
Should I even change roms? I was on CM6 but just got to many FCs and switched to Fresh which I like, but it gets sluggish sometimes and it KILLS my battery. DC 3.5 seems to blah for me....
Please provide suggestions. I use my phone for normal use, phone calls, messaging, browsing, and so forth. Also suggest the best kernals for me if possible. Thanks again for your time.
I only backup all apps and data..I don't do system apps..
Normally if I am switching between ROM's I only restore apps and not the data cause I don't want that to cause problems.
I rarely ever see any fc's when using CM6 so that really sucks because I think its the best out there. Nobody can answer what ROM to use cause everyone is different.
Try ROM Manager from the market..Its awesome to backup entire ROM's and switch between backup etc.
My favorite combos so far are
Netarchy 4.0.3 + Fresh (Newest) = SICK battery life and awesome speed..
AND
Cyano Snap6 v7 + Cyno Nightly = Fastest by far, super stable, and decent battery life.
Don't use ROM manager if flashing the nightly with snap v7.
I am looking for a basic rom, sense or senseless, calender, email, tether, internet, market, and just all around basic stuff. I have tried almost every rom available, and Lou's work best so far. I would really loved a totally stripped down rom that is focused on professionals, and not media/music/game playing individuals. Not that there is nothing wrong with that, I just diont need alot of the bloat that is still loaded on aftermarket roms. I dont have time to remove things myself, and maybe there is a rom like that on the market I am missing, I just really want the barebones basics. I am runnnin Lou's senseless with his kernel and the orange evo theme, looks great, battery is good, I am just wondering, can it be stripped down farther? Thannks for all in advance. hope im not a pain in the ass, if I had the time to try and build a rom, I would, but im so addicted to this i fear that if i tried, i would soon be divorced. Thanks guys.
Can a rom be made with nothing in it, no sense, email, txt, nothing. where you install everything you actually want from recovery. every time i install a new rom i rip out everything i don't want using titanium backup. i use my own launcher, and download all my own apps off the android market. I was just wondering i as i never use the stuff like 4g, hdmi, Netflix, YouTube, or 90% of the other stuff that gets packed in with all the other releases.
all i do ever do with my phone is listen to music, txt, check email, check the time, and once in a blue moon get a call from someone. nothing else. I use all paid apps like launcher pro, power amp pro and the like.
just wondering if its possible, and thanks again. currently using synergy but bugs keep popping up so looking to switch, just want something simplistic lol.
Try dsixda's Android Kitchen, use it to modify ROMs and such link
I'd like to see this too. Perhaps a sense based ROM that allows for just about any modifications. I am not a developer nor am I to savvy on some of the terms but I believe a stock "deodexed" ROM would suffice. I am gonna try it. I'll let you know what I find.
thanks tropicalbrit, ill try that and see how far i can get. but my ultimate goal would be no sense at all, if its possible, just apps that i chose off the market

Start with an AOSP base then. I suggest Deck's or SalvageMod
Lithid already made that rom for you. It is in the dev section somewhere. He called it like bare aosp gb or something. Omgb is pretty close too. That one is by r2doesinc.
Salvagemod is also tiny. Like 58mbs without gapps, and not many apps
I agree with tropicalbrit. I would start with a watered down version of an ASOP rom and go from there. Maybe even try a CM rom. Although CM is loaded with a lot of things too. also you can unzip the file and take a lot of the apk's out there.
tried decks, but there is no market app, so..... lol. how would i add the market? downloaded the apk but it wont show up in recovery and there is no file browser in the rom, so cant install it there lol. this will be a very long night
edit: not to be a party pooper but i give up. ima just stick with sense and keep tearing everything out. just easier
you add the market with gapps. you can find them at cyanogenmod. They are flashable zip file.
I have been down this road too, and in fact, just using a stock sense rom (I use Fresh by Flipz) and stripping everything you don't want is indeed the easiest.
I'm sure this has been asked numerous times, sometimes in the wrong section, but I haven't found anything crystal clear on this.
I have tried using some of the darkforest GB, and the NXT 1.2 GB.
I have tried using KA11 ICS, darkforest ICS, ICS++ 1.1, and the latest 4.0.4 ROM from nickholtus (current ROM).
I am finding my current ROM lagging, getting slower and slower as each day goes by. I try deleting more apps, freeing more space, wiping dalvik-cache and normal cache within CWM, regularly rebooting.. but it still lags. I overclock and try different options (performance usually, with noop or deadline I/O).
Can someone point out if there is a stable ICS ROM that doesn't start to lag a lot? I just want it to have working GSM data, working camera/video recording/playback, and overclocking and maybe some emulators or small games from Play Store... oh and Swype for texting, without it slowing up.
If there isn't a stable ICS ROM that does all that without lagging, can someone please point out a stable GB ROM that does all that stuff?
I'd prefer notification toggles if possible, and maybe battery percentage mod.
Just want to say a massive thanks to the devs here for the Play, whether it be ROMs, Kernels or whatever. I am really grateful and I keep searching/reading all the posts but I just can't seem to figure out what will be best for me.
Thanks
Dan
for more space use a script like a2sd, d2ext etc.... [SCRIPTS]CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT
i am using CM7 with d2ext and its very smooth, fast, and stable without overclocking
I think what u need is v6 supercharger!!!
Hello!!! I am giving a try to 'revive' my HTC Desire upgrading to a KitKat ROM (used a MildWild 2.3.7 working mostly fine).
I have tried Beanstalk R6 and well, it seems quite good But then I installed Google Maps, obviously Play makes you download the latest version. And............ it works but sooooo sloooowly... Slow and not smooth at all, unusable.
My question is: is the last version of Google Maps too heavy for the 512 Mb RAM of the old Desire?
Is this normal with such 'heavy' apps (then I must go back to 2.3 ROMs, I can't live without GMaps), or is it something that can be solved with another ROM, or maybe I'm doing something wrong, I am using m2sd and I better should use a2sd... etc?
Next I wanna try Carbon v0.9, any feedback on it vs Beanstalk?
Thanks!!!!
Desire was never designed to run anything beyond GB, newer KK ROMs in general will be slower than more stable GB stuff. If you find Maps runs better on GB ROMs, then you may have to stick with it. I personally never upgraded any ROMs greater than GB when I had the Desire, didn't feel the need for newer Android versions with features I didn't really need.
It's also not just RAM. Desire has single core 1GHz processor which is ancient by today's standards. Maps also depends on the quality and speed of your data signal too, another reason why it may appear slow. So there are limiting factors whichever ROM you use.
M2SD is the same as A2SD, they achieve the same thing...moving things to your sd card partition.
I've not tried Carbon. Nandroid backup and try it yourself, it's always the best way to find out whether it suits your needs.
