which rom do you prefer?
Pros/cons
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I prefer to use RCMix3d Runny v3.0 personally. Experiencing original sense 3.5 is awesome . the only bug you will see is the 720p videos. you can solve this problem by using free video player apps like "MX Video player" or "MoboPlayer".
RCMix3D Runny v3 is fantastic. Moved to this from LeeDroid. I have used Revolution HD as well.
My rating would be
RCMix
LeeDroid
Revolution
in that order.
Frankly, after using MIUI none of the Sense or other roms made me feel satisfied. I like the usefulness of the MIUI. But I don't like the UI so much. It's simple and all but you need so much extra-apps or widgets to make it your way. I guess till HTC decides to do sth new for DHD, I will go on using MIUI.
(The biggest pro of Sense was scrollable and set of widgets Sense provide. That you can have with MIUI too now. If you don't want fancy looks and all, MIUI is giving everything you need really smoothly.)
The Android Revolution HD is much faster and stabler. I did use RCMix Runny and Sensation rom's and they are little buggy and sometimes slow too.
But that's just my opinion.
depends on what exactly you prefer
if you like stability and very good support (trust me ..it matters)(actualy i think it has the BEST SUPPORT ON XDA ...but is my opinion)
than ANDROID REVOLUTION is by FAAAAR the CHOICE
the philosophy of Android Revolution is to be as closed to the HTC BASE
The ROM is EXTREMELY STABLE, almost BUG -free , fast and very good with battery
Now if you prefer to have the latest Stuff (and usually the Newbies do ) , than Runny is the choice for you. Capychimp is a great developer, probably the Best in mater of Porting stuf, also very few bugs, and good support
my opinion is that you have to chose between these to(LeeDroid is also very good but Revolution is better and for me MIUI is not an Options since SENSE was one of the reasons that i buy an HTC)
so long story short
For the HYPE...Runny
For the STABILITY...Android Revolution (in my opinion , the BEST ROM, and i've tried from Cyanogen to MIUI....but is always a matter of taste )

Hey guys.
Im looking for a GOOD Desire HD ROM to use on my Desire.
I want a ROM for ALLDAY not a Benchmark ROM
I want a ROM with as few as possible bugs
I want a ROM which leaves much internal storage for apps
I want a ROM which supports German
Hope u guys can give ma a few good Desire HD ROMS
Or is it better to use LeeDrOiD for now?

Seems to be a very popular ROM for my Desire right?
best hd rom
i recommend baadnwz rom it is the fastest around. it has plenty of memory and it does surport german.
Known bugs:
- 720p recording working now but records green
- Some streaming videos, shows just "audio", no video
- editing personal dictionary causes FC - due to Desire Z IM
it has the least bugs i have seen in all of the hd roms
p.s don't forget you need an ext partition
link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861690
if you want no bugs at all then use leedroid but the sense experience is no where near as good and in my mind the new sense makes up for the bugs even with the small bugs which will be fixed pretty soon
i use z it super fast
baadnewz rom

Baadnewz is good rom, but not for allday use.
Take LeeDroid if u like sense or DeFrost if u want vanila.

Baadnewz is excellent for everyday use. Excellent battery life, fast, responsive and has all HD goodies Best ROM for me.

I used both LeeDroid and baadnewz. In my opinion baadnewz is better. I have more space for apps, I like new sence, my battery lasts more...

the only way to find out is to try them all , we could say this and that but at the end of the day what works for us might not work for you

i use baadnewz btw
Thank you all for your input.
I wonder why some of you would choose Baadnwz over LeeDrOiD. Some pros and Cons would be highly appreciated
Also wonder if anyone have tried the latest Oxygen 2.3 rom and how it is compared to the previous mentioned once.
Cheers!
The new ROMs from Desire HD and Desire Z have a new launcher, which compared to the old launcher from the original Desire have a few nice additions. For example, you have auto-rotate on your main screens, better browser, more customization options and many other things. What I also noticed is that the new launchers run smoother than the old one.
This was my main reason to switch from LeeDroid (which is great and stable, by the way) to Z.
SuperVillainHD
The best rom if installed yet is the SuperVillanHD Rom! its nice, fast, stable and works perfect (now that they fixed the cam! THANKS!) i recommend it.

PS the only sad thing is that its been a while that they have not brought out a update! but still.... i haven't changed it yet...

I would like to have a rom which doesn't drain battery so much but still enables to integrate facebook into calendar and contacts?
I tried Baadnewz but I like using Swype for input but it doesn't work very well with the new "select text" system. Is it just me or is this a known problem with the Swype/Desire HD combination?
So as the topic says, what do you guys think is the best gingerbread rom out? I tried AR HD 4.0 beta3 but it was not smooth so i switched back to AR HD 3.2.
Now there a like half a dozen gingerbread roms, so which do you think is the best overall, smooth, good battery, basically a daily usable rom. It seems coredroid 4.6 is respectable, and now theres AR HD 4.0 beta4, blazingly GB by capy, cm7 versions, etc. I would test them all but It takes me hours to DL one rom. I know, crazy. My edge powered home network is capped at like 50kbs top speed. BTW i would prefer sense roms. use to love vanilla android, but now i just cant go back. That dialer alone is hideous,lol.
What phone are you using?

For me, capy's rom is quite blazingly and it has the fastest support by far. Add the latest radio to it and you'll have a top notch DHD running Gingerbread.

Desire hd, international one. The radio im using is 26.06.04.14_m.
Update to the latest BETA, 4.0 massive speed improvements according to changelog!
CM7 ftw.
Tried it, you'll love it
Yeah, I'd have to go with CM7 as well.
Try CM7 and MIUI, they are completely different from each other, I'm using MIUI personally and love it, but it's all down to personal preference really. I find I get bored of one after a few weeks then try another.
Just tried a few roms some of you mentioned, theyre all awesome. Also anyone who hasn't tried the desire s DHD port from theintelligent should give it a shot. Possibly the smoothest gingerbread rom out there. The only thing is the text is slightly larger since its a desire s port, but not a biggie imo.
guys suggest me, Android Revolution HD 4.0 β 4 or CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V4.8???
btw former is still on 2.3.2 while later is on 2.3.3...
CM7
Cause of Nosense
I rekon lees beta 3 is good try it
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Gotta be cm7rc2 for me.
Not tried many others mind, i'm so happy with this one.
really stable one with Sense
If you want a really stable one with Sense then you can better flash Desire S DHD(2.3.3) then Revolution HD 4.
I don't have any experience with CoreDroid.
cm7rc3 is out - Nosense and love it
Hi @all,
I use the CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V4.8 and had a problem.
Still fixed. Sorry for posting
Sense: RHD 4.0
No-Sense: CM7 which I´m just addicted to since I came from RHD
Last week I flashed my first custom ROM. I wanted performance infront of visual changes because my lack of experience. A friend of mine told me to try out the Android Revolution HD 4.0 β 4.
Amazing ROM! It is like comparing the Playstation 1 with a Playstation 3, fast and smooth and very easy to use.
Regards rocketby.
at the moment i like this one. because of the clean gingerbread look.
[ROM] Spike Pure Gingerbread v2.0 [2.31.1400][GingerBread 2.3.3 without Sense]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002671
it runs realy stable and has an exellent standby time.
only issue gps runs only outside.
_updateted today to v2.0 gps and loction works also inside.
Theintelligent's desire s port is by far the best gingerbread sense rom atm. Followed by themed coredroid

I never really been that much into sense but I do like the widgets and customization it provides. Anyone got some good recommendations for the best sense based ROMs (in their opinion). Screenshots or links would be nice too

I'd recommend CoreDroid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117841
coredroid for speed... but if you want maximum coolness you need Virtuous Unity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115333
I'd recommend InsertCoin. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080999) It is Sense 2.1 for speed, but has some Sense 3.0 features such as the lock screen, widgets, wallpapers, etc. I tried Virtuous Unity and found it very sluggish.
Virtuous Unity for Sense 3.0 and Gingerbread
Virtuous 1.0.2 for Sense 2.1 and Froyo
I have not tried Unity yet as I am in love with Virtuous G-Lite at the moment, but I did like Virtuous 1.0.2 when I had that. There are some small bugs with Unity, according to the thread in the dev section, but generally great reviews on it.

Senses blows... battery killer... but if u really want it. I would try virtuos unity
i also do recommend "CoreDroid Vision GB 2.3.3", any roms by siulmagic are better.but if you want fastest sense based rom then 1st shot should be "Desire_Gingerbread_sense 1.0" Unity is good but its bit slower
I'm curently using Unity Sense 3.0 and I haven't found any problems yet, which is good if you want a full Sense 3 (which is really heavy lol) but I find it runs smooth.
I had InsertCoin and have some stuff to help it movefasters, and amazing thems and the extended quick settings which are a plus.
So IncertCoin would be nice if you consider speed and like the themes.
Haven't test CoreDroid yet, but it does looks awesome.

I've used a variety of Sense and Sense-less ROMs, and never noticed a significant difference in battery life, much less anything that would make Sense a "battery killer". Things like radio and screen brightness have much more effect than Sense or no-Sense.
What blows is the stock Android camera app.
So i wont to try out new rom and i have some here is and what is the best
1 Android Revolution HD
2 MIUI
3 Virtuous Unity
I have htc desire hd with Leodroid Hd in it so i am not happy with it.
SO what is the BEST rom of this 3 rom's?
Can't compare them... AR is sense 2.1, Unity is sense 3.0, and MIUI is, well, MIUI... Try them all out and see which one fits you best...
I prefer MIUI's style...!!! but it's still beta version and you should change it every week it's annoying and make me bore...!!!! But it's rrealy different and have special Experience of android...!!! I realy like it most but I have problem with Versions...!!!!
Between others it depends on your opinion...!!! Both are stable and difeerence is in their Sense....!!!! Revolution HD had some problems with some people but many people have tried it and said it's a real good rom...!!!
I don't like leedroid rom tooo....!!!!!
For new experience i think go for MIUI.....!!!!
I'm looking for a bit of advice, my friend just came into town to visit me with a desire hd, and I've been looking for a good stable rom for him, the phone is already s-off rooted and all that, it has a ext-4 recovery or something like that based off clockworkmod, whoever did the phone put a nosense/sense 3.0 rom on it but after I compared it to my htc hd2 running cm7 wasn't too impressed, and I know the desire hd can run a whole lot better, but after looking thru the roms found almost all roms are based of sense 3.0 or 3.5 , is there any good aosp or cm7 that any would recommend for me or any good stable sense rom that definitely is the preferred, and if anyone has any suggestions and can add what radio and ril I need for it I would appreciated. I searched and the cm7 looked like there were issues with them and ultimate droid had been discontinued, was hoping MDJ was still working in them, but I guess everyone is moving to sense.
deleted......
Be patient okay well cm7 is the best aosp Rom (stable and a lot of support)but in my opinion sense 3.5 from rcmix is THE BEST ROM

Android Revolution HD is a great sense ROM, there is also a de-sense flashable zip.
By the way, your comments above (however intended) won't win you any help! ! Keep that in mind.
ROM styles and features are personal taste, so best to try a few and make up your own mind. Just follow the Devs guide / OP and FAQ.
Backup apps and data with apps such as Titanium Backup (pro) and use CWM Recovery for nan-backup prior to flashing new ROMs or addons.
You may need to full wipe before flashing between ROMs (lose apps and data),.so backup first.

There are many of us willing to help out as much as we can, but we are in different time zones, countries etc.
Have a look at some of the screenshots in my sig to help with visual ideas, plus an up-to-date list of current XDA roms with links to the XDA threads.
Personally I enjoyed CM7 for ages and now I'm really happy with MIUI or the MIUI Freshly Squeezed Edition.
If you want AOSP ROM then try Hydrogenmod once.
CM7 is ok, but imo, Miui looks better. You can replace the miui launcher with LP/ADW and you still get the miui icon backgrounds. They both are pretty smooth and stable. Miui also has a pretty good music player with lyrics and a equalizer. CM7 has a super bright torch (Its brighter than most lights...) and DSP manager. I haven't seen any issues with CM7, most of the nightlies are pretty stable, CM7 based roms such as helios and hydrogen are also stable. Sci miui, RD miui and freshly squeezed are also really stable miui roms.
Sense just looks really nice, but isnt that functional or smooth (The launcher pretty much lags when a page is filled with apps, and the appdrawer always lags). Sense just has a better camcorder (Best AOSP camcorder is LG camcorder, which can record 1080p but still has no proper touch to focus in video - It does display a focusing icon now but still doesnt seem to focus for me). ROM Cleaner [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050283] can remove most of the useless sense features.
Revolution would probably be the smoothest and most stable Sense 3.0 Rom. Leedroid is a good sense 2.1 rom (The new sense 3.0 version is somewhat glitchy). You can also try the V6 Supercharge script [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278299]
CM7 nightlies (I'm on 220 at present) have always worked very nicely for me, together with the latest radio and matching RIL. I generally have the LCD density set to around 190-200.
The only thing I missed coming from Sense was the calendar and bookmark widgets, replacements for these can be found using Android Pro Widgets on the market.
Why anyone would use Sense is a mystery to me. It's slow, bloated and battery life is horrible compared to CM7. Also beware MIUI as in my experience the battery drain on standby can be horrific - not sure if that has been sorted out in the most recent version though.
I apologize if some thought I was being out of line getting upset but sitting, watching the thread sit and the views count going up, and nobody bothering to make a suggestion was pretty upsetting. I know we are in different time zones, and I would understand if that was the case and nobody was in the forum to lend a hand, but that wasn't the case, people were taking the time to read it and move on and post to other threads, that's why I got upset.
For the people that took the time and help me out I thank you, I hope I can squeeze time today before my friend has to fly back home to do his phone and put something stable enough for his every day use.

If you like what all HTC can do with Sense 3.5 on Android, check out RCMix Runny 1.5 or RCMix Bliss 1.3 ROMs. Stable releases with fixes coming often for issues if any.
For a stable release with Sense 3 and latest gingerbread, check Android Revolution HD (most widely used ROM for DHD).
But, the best thing you can do is try as many ROM's as you can and use each for atleast a week. I could not stand MIUI which many like for whatever reasons they have.
Can someone tell me which ROM has the best battery life?
In my little experience i can say:
-the fastest Sense 3 Rom i've used was the Pyramid3d 1.1
-the nicest one with all the new Sense 3.5 feature, stable and smooth, is the Runny3D and i must say love Sense 3.5!
Now i'm on BlackIce,very speed and for now i've got the best battery life but i'm using it since yesterday so i must test well... Thanks to IceTool Dolby and SRS are working too .
So if you wont AOSP Rom i think BlackIce is the best one!
(Sorry for bad english!)
