[Q] Why aren't there more AOSP Based ROMs? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had an HD2 prior to my DHD and I loved how there were so many custom AOSP ROMs for the HD2 along side CM7.
I'm finding it hard to believe that there are so many iterations of Sense ROMs (which I never really liked tbh) and MIUI and then CM7 and some patched CM7s but barely any AOSP ones compiled/tweaked/moded for the DHD.
No one has had the desire to dev a stock AOSP from scratch ROM for the DHD??

Take a look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071790, it's not much but excactly what you are looking for

Thanks but seems like support for it is no longer available nor is it updated?
Bump - hoping someone starts to make one

Just bought a Desire.

Well, I've just bought a Desire and I don't know where to start with Roms!
First I've been meaning to try out MIUI for agesss! But its never been ported to a device I've had. (Arc + SGS 1).
What are some good roms to try?
Note: I don't like Sense.
Thanks, Ben.
Well there is pretty much only one miui, so try that if you want to.(they are nice but too iphone'ish for me )
Also as you don't want sense, there is the classic(cyanogenmod with plenty of mods) and then we have a more lightweight aosp rom called oxygen, which i prefer myself. Good luck.
I like my eye candy! I'm not a lightweight person! Cyanogen mod might be an option though... I guess the best way is to flash and find out!
I havent been flashing roms for too long myself but ive been through a fair share. Oxygen has defently treated me well. Fast, stable and leaves plenty of room for apps while still looking good. Its the one I kept going back to until I found sense 3 but i know its not for everyone

If that's the case, maybe go with another Sense ROM?
I've been using InsertCoin rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
That gives you Gingerbread and various Sense 3.0 goodies
There are also other Sense roms out there... I know of LeeDrOiD, but never used it myself.
Once you're rooted, it's easy to try roms out - flashed cyanogenmod over the weekend, got annoyed at a few things so reverted back to insertCoin

[Q] Help with ROM choice, bear with me please

I need a Gingerbread/Sense ROM with and emphasis on stability. Close to stock would be best though it isn't paramount. I realize that ROMs are like beers, you get a different opinion on which is best depending on who you ask. The circumstances just don't allow me to try out a whole slew of ROMs.
A good friend's wife has an EVO 4G (I have a Sensation, G2x & HD2) and is having trouble with stability. I suggested we root it and slap a custom ROM on it. While they were over I rooted it and got everything ready to back up and slap a ROM on it. Problem is I am unsure as to what ROM to put on it. Yes, I could try out several ROMs to find one that works but this isn't going to go well at all. The reasons should be obvious for anyone who is married. This is magnified by the fact that I would only have access to the phone maybe once every other week. I need a silver bullet for this one.
Thank you for your time.
I've tried a ton of sense roms, MikG still wins for stability and everything working for me.
I'm currently running synergy w/o sense lockscreen. Loving it. I've had no problems with stability.

RC2 from the below thread? Is there a problem with the lock screen or is that a personal preference?

Try EVO classic Rom. It's based off the latest stock Rom. It's fast and so far no trouble for me.

Thats the one. I used to use Synergy to but I found it to be a bit slower than MikG and Mik sees more updates.
If you go Synergy RLS1 is the newest version. RC2 is older and was an unofficial release I believe. I never had a problem with the lock screen on Synergy.

I've found Mik Roms to be the most stable as well as be current with the latest updates. Myn's Roms are excellent as well.

1. If she is having a problem with stability on a stock unrooted Evo then she needs to backup her information and just do a factory reset.
2. Trying out several ROMs is required because phones react to various ROMs differently. I can tell you that a certain ROM plays well with my phone but it may not play quite as well with yours. Then comes the issue of kernels. Kernels have a large impact on the phone's stability as well.
3. Tell your friend to do his own homework on how to get her phone up and running or have an affair with her so that you can see her more often and get more opportunities to test ROMs/kernels on her phone.
What version of Sense would you prefer?

I ran AOSP and CM ROMs on my G2X. Eaglesblood with Faux's kernel. CM and AOSP ROMs are actually my preference for Android in general. I am not a huge fan of Sense, it has some nice apps but its too confining. This isn't my phone though.

The EVO 4G has 2.5 by default I believe. I run the leaked 3.5 on my Sensation and it has some improvements over 2.5 and a couple over 3.0. If there is a very stable and fully functional ROM with 3.x that would be better. Stability and functionality still trump everything else though.
They mentioned that Netflix has to work as they use it often. Skype working properly with video would be good as well.

i agree AOSP Roms are a lot better, smoother, and allow for more customization, that's why the thread i made in my sig is only about them and not about sense based roms. plus whenever an ICS rom comes out it'll be AOSP

[Q] Current Latest and Greatest Rom for Inc2

Hello everyone,
I'm new here and new to this scene, but familiar with hacking on other types of devices. My sis just upgraded her phone and gave me a Inc2. My first instinct was to hack it and so I ended up currently with a rooted S-off Inc2. My next issue is what Rom to use. I see so many out there and have had problems trying to install a couple. Since ther are so many, i know theres no clear cut "Latest and Greatest" but as i stand now, i have no clue where i should be looking. So I'm asking what u guys would consider latest and greatess. I'm really looking into going as high up in the OS as possible while also having the best stability with as much working as possible. Any Idea's?

What do you prefer? For ASOP, we have some very stable ICS CM9 ROM's and Stable CM10 Rom's. The CM10 ROMs don't have a working ffc camera or 720p camcorder, but everything else seems to work. For those who like sense, Nit's Sense 4 Viper Rom is quite nice. I typically change ROM's every two weeks, so i have tried quite a lot.
I vote for aeroevans CM10 or if you want ICS then Condemned Soul's Kangdemnation
Vivow using XDA Premium
Viperinc all da way
I'm so fresh you can suck my nits...

Well I'm not sure wether to go ASOP or Sense but from what i gather most ppl prefer ASOP, so I guess i would also. I generally would like to have everything working also.
Another thing thing would be that would i need to flash anything else besides the rom? Like kernels or anything?

Most of the op's have it spelled out exactly what to do , usually they include the kernel in the ROM
Btw : I think any of the still supported ROMs that you will find in the inc2 section are great I can't really quantify a ranking of them

Paranoid Android its a Phone/Tablet hybrid if you don't use the ffc or video that much it is my daily at the moment. "(11-4-2012)(JB)(CM10) Global 4.1.2 (4.2)" and "{10-25-2012}{Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9" are pretty smooth running roms (I haven't had a chance to give build 3 of CM10 a try yet). "[ROM] [Port] Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 [CM9.1 Stable]" another very good ICS rom and very stable as well. Those are the ones I have been messing with the last couple of months. I think it is all in your tastes amigo. If you are a flashaholic like most of us I am sure you will try most of them.
ViperINC if you don't need BT audio. There are issues with the fact that the beats audio controls the BT audio and there is no output.

[Q] Coming from Desire Z

So checking out the roms here and touchwiz seems to be the most popular kinda like sense is on desire z but I'm wondering whats some of the more popular stable aosp/aokp roms for the S3? I really prefer the pure android experience and i'll customize it. I'm coming from a G2 with andromadus mimicry and its a nice rom anything comparable or just a more standard experience?
I'm not sure you can directly compare whatever was available under sense with what you'll find on the S3...
watch YouTube reviews of certain roms and make a decision that way or take a day to flash and test the most popular ones.
Hey I upgraded this afternoon from the desire z.
I am in the same boat as you. I am going to get CM10

[Q] Where are all the ROMS??

Hey guys, i used to have a samsung galaxy s2 before my htc one, and there was so many ROMS to choose from that i had a different one almost everyday. I'm thinking there was so many ROMS because it's an older phone. I noticed that there are not that many ROMS for m8, the phone isn't all that new. Is it just not a popular phone? Do you think there will be more ROMS coming? I had LiquidSmooth on KitKat and i liked it however it was getting buggy. So i was on the hunt for a new ROM. Tried Pac-Rom (which i usually LOVE) however it wasn't what i was looking for. CM is too basic. The ROM needs to be perfect, i know that's not possible but i like to have a lot of customization ability. I'm now trying out Resurrection Remix on Lollipop. This is my first time with lollipop, not sure if i like it yet... but anyways do you guys think there will be more ROMS on the way??

Try ViperOneM8. It is a Sense based ROM with more customization options built in that any other M8 ROM.

I might but I HATE sense. That's one of the reasons why I rooted my phone was so I could make it look vanilla lol, but I'll give it a look. I hate all those ui skins like touchwiz and LGS whatever its called. I love nexus devices and that stock android look.

You should get nexus then. All these aosp roms they never work properly on HTC because they can't use proprietary drivers.
