Remember to do a full wipe before flashing.

yea but those are with stock CM kernel and not the lords one...

I personally like sense roms over cyanogen. They feel more smoother and faster than cyanogenmod.

I've been using Android Revolution HD and Virtuous.
They're really nice, and better than what I they would be like.
I'm waiting on the update on Virtuous that's going to happen the next couple of days, they're happening to port over Sense 3.5.

I would personally recommend Virtuous Unity 2.37. No bugs, fully functional, fast and it's good on the battery. I also use the recommended radio with matching RIL aswell.

I've tried RCMix Runny for a bit, I liked it alot but I don't like the boot animation that much.
I'll stick with Virtuous 2.39.0 for now ;D.

I would love to have a ROM which will be fast as CM and have Theming like Sense 3.5 with SRS/Dolby Audio .
OT - CM7.1 is nice.

What's your perfect ROM?

Hope that's the right section for this
What does your perfect ROM have?
Is it cyanogen mod, is it sense, etc...
I ask that because there are just a few roms and i want to start an own Rom
And I would like to get some ideas so it fits your wishes

My perfect one ATM is Ginger Yoshi.
It's like CM7 only better
yes,this will be my base
You might want to work on a Ginger - Sense ROM, if it is possible. Because, ATM, there are a lot of 2.3 AOSP options out there, and, just one Ginger Sense (Which is sadly abandoned). So, you'll probably get a better response.
Just my 2C.

That's an idea but there would be some graphic glitches because of missing graphic sources.. But when gingerbread with sense for desire comes out I consider doing that
For now I just want to improve ginger yoshi mainly

Isn't there Gingersense for the Desire already? My friend is using Crystal Kingdom 3 (Sense 3.0) on his Desire, and, just a quick browse in the Desire Android Development Section shows a lot of Gingerbread Sense ROMs.
Obviously, since you have decided already, this post is kinda pointless, but, just letting you know.

Yes but if you use it some time you see that there are graphic glitches and some things who aren't fixed... If an official update comes with sense everything should work like a charm

Stable Rom

Hi,
Which is the most stable rom for htc desire HD ? miui or with htc sense 3.0 ?
I highly recommend coredroid v 7.1, it has many sense 3.0 parts built in, it is very fast, very stable, great battery life, awesome theme, give it a try, maybe you will like it as much as I do! Virtuous Unity is also pretty popular and gets great reviews! check that one out if you like, although it is a bit newer, and may not be as stable. Always make sure you make a nand backup!
Thanks button Always Appreciated!!!

[Q] ROM Recommendations

So my partners Blackberry has finally died & she's slightly pissed at me (I may have jumped for joy when she told me xD) Anyway she has asked if she can use my old phone (which I just use to play with know a days) which is this beautiful HTC Vision.
I'm trying to decided which Rom to go with as it will be her first ever Android device, I got her to play with a few different android devices from where I work & the only thing she said was "I don't like them HTC's, there complicated" ¬_¬
So I'm thinking of using a Stock android Rom but as i haven't kept up with the Vision ROM development (To busy playing with my Galaxy Nexus xD) I'm gonna ask the good people of XDA..
Which ROM have you found to be the most stable & best battery life?
Thanks in advance guys & girls ^_^
If she thinks they're complicated try miui.us
If she wants asop go glite
If she want more customization use a cm7 based rom - try ilwt
If she wants pretty sense ask someone else I don't use sense
Don't go ics
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
There is a new sense rom based on android 2.3.5 (I think) with sense 1.9. Its the zippiest sense rom I've tried. Other than that..... what he said /\

I've been running Andro Beta 2 since it was released, and Alphas 5-12. All were solid for me as a DD.
Personally I would install Virtuous 2.0 and then supercharge it.

Not for daily use for someone that wants a complete phone. No camcorder, glitches, camera glitches if you don't use stock app, no fm.
I use Andromadus and wouldn't ever change it with Gingerbread, but I wouldn't suggest it for a new user.
Go Miui!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
I always thought Sense was simple and awesome. The second one that is...but yeah, you should go with MIUI, it won't get simpler than that.
Yeah, virtuous sense 2. Smooth but with sense to help break android to a newbie.

I would recommend either virtuous sense or the latest miui version.
Both are very easy to use and have no major glitches or bugs!

I concur with this, ILWT is the way to go for CM7 based rom.
For sense, last time when I was in my flashing mode, Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 was my daily driver. Until it couldn't keep up with me, then I switched to ILWT

There is no "best" Rom. You got to figure out what ui you like and what bugs you are willing to live with. Also depends on what you use your phone for mostly.

Yah . . .u r right. . ARHD 7.0.4 is slower than 6.3.3. . .since its ported. .
But as i said . . . 7.0.4 with rom cleaner and rc tweaks wil give you the best 3.5 experience. . . .
I'm surprised this thread hasn't been shut down yet. Like I said, there is no best rom.

You first gotta ask yourself what do you want on your rom. Sense or Vanilla based. GB, ICS or JB. Tweaks... there's plenty to choose

Not really. Stock ROMs have bugs too, just that they're not any major ones like custom ROMs in development have. No software is bug free. Stock ROMs probably have the same level of bugs (or less) as stable CM 7.2 for our phone, which are small and indiscernible. Nothing major.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
go for one of those, both very stable and fast. battery life is fine too.
ics: icecoldsandwich 8.6.1
gb: cm7.2
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
CyanogenMod is really stable and fast, has really good performances.
But if you want to keep HTC Sense I recommend (like others on this thread) Android Revolution HD 6.3.3.
You have only to keep in mind that the ROM's choise is a very subjective thing.
Better try all the ROM and see by yourself the one which satisfies you.

Best stable ROM (any version of android, for general usability)

I'm giving my old HTC Desire to my friend, but before I do I want to flash the best ROM for a laymen's use, in terms of stability, battery life and speed.
Personally, I have a Galaxy Nexus with JB and I love it - I think JB heralds a new era in which android finally shows that iOS is just hype and not god.
I've seen there are ROMs right the way up to Jelly Bean, which I find pretty amazing considering the age of the Desire handset - however, there must be quite a few issues to iron out, and I doubt that my friend, who will be more worried about his phone working than whether it's up to date with android, will appreciate these issues.
So which ROM would you recommend? Quick answers appreciated cause I need to give him the phone within two hours! Lol
Thanks for your help

I really enjoy Mr. mephisto and RSK team rom, the 3.5 sense is awsome and the AMAZE cam is.. well.. AMAZING.
I have it for almost 2 months now.
It gives the old Desire a great new look!
and with the aroma installer is super customized.

It's beautiful and stable, but it's too heavy (read slow) even on fast sd. If you have to sell the phone, just install stock rom (with sense), or an aosp like cm7 or oxygen.
No man, install stock Oxygen rom , create partition ext4 for a2sd. And that is it. Rom is completely bug free, and it has bedt battery life. Speed is great, and no laggs at all !

The only reason I might even consider changing this rom I'm using would be somewhat poor multitasking. But I think I'll most likely need to finally upgrade to a better device.

Oxygen 2.3.2 + thalamus r4 kernel. Use Oxygen r2 hboot. If You need more space, with GParted make ext3 or ex4 partition.
I've found it best combination (almost one year using it). It's not full of widgets like Sense roms, but You can install Fancy Wigdets or Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather similar to Sense.
I put the last stable version of miui on my dads desire, and it runs perfectly so far. Using the 2.3.7 os which is pretty stable.idk about battery life tho
