Some ROMS (leedroid, coredroid) are sense based, others such as cyanogen are striped down with all the bloat removed whilst others, miui for example are kinda left field.As for kernels some people want to overclock our undervolt their phone which is why you find the multitude of kernels.

tiny,as new in htc and sense,try first some sense roms like leedroid or revolution(these are the best for the moment) and then u can go in an aosp rom which are more fast and simples but not so beautifull for your eyes...

Thanks so much but which Rom is better leedroid or revolution?

At the moment, that's probably like asking what's better: PS3 or XBox360?
Why not try them both? Once you've done S-Off/root etc the first time, it's pretty quick to flash new ROM's.

[Q] Latest and the best rom for my Htc Desire ?

Hi all... I'm kinda of newbie on this things, so I'll need some help from you guys!
I have HTC Desire with android version 2.2 (latest official).

coolexe has an alignment script that will convert ext3 -> ext4 just before flashing

that is a good place to start - although some of the links are incorrect and I think some are in the wrong categories which is a shame

lothaen, thanks i gave it a go, i have come to the conclusion that i hate sense, i love the way it looks and the customization, but when you get down to the nitty gritty things, i hate it lol

I like sense - but thats just my opnion

fair enough, i want to like it tho

Same with me.
Tried leedroid, oxygen, cm6, cm7, various HD ports and settled down to miui.us 1.7.22.

I love sense and I will go back to it at some point, waiting on Droidzone to update his gingerburst RoM. But at the moment am using MIUI data2ext and its bloody great, love everything about it, at first it looks abit iphoney but you can download alot of themes and change the look.
So try MIUI

No Sense no HTC. If you want no sense buy SG2
And BTW LeeDroid rox

Cool AceS Mix v2,very fast
but no chinese touch input

Beso your hardcore mate, if i can get a sgs2 for £150 of ebay i would mate, but to be honest i hate samsung stuff so it'd be an opx2 for me mate
actually i have tried the 2 hd senses, they feel very laggy to me, is the normal senses a bit faster, i might give them a go, just to spice things up, but even tho i hate apple stuff, i love the miui rom, so classy, i might find a sense rom for backup for when i have an urge for it

The only thing why I would consider miui is auto brightness which works fcuking awesome with it. Otherwise, I'm sticking to my Sense integration wrapped in my LauncherPro theme

im downloading leedroid 3.0.8.2, not the hd one, i'll give it a try, what would you say is the best sense rom? non hd? iv come from having a wildfire,blade and pulse, one thing i will say is that the dev community for the desire is amazing, so many devs, roms, kernels, the works, we are very lucky to be spoilt and have so much to choose from.

Can you Please Post Questions in the Q&A forum Thanks
Moving to Q&A

the first rom i installed was gingervillain 2.0
ive tried several roms, coming and going between them, they all had advantages/disadvantages. but i always keep ending up installing gingervillain. its does everything i need, its quick, it's sense-less (personally dont like it) and as yet, i dont think ive encountered a bug with it.
now running gingervillain 2.7

Redux 1.2, awesomely fast! original android 2.3 without sense or any other big additions. Clean and stable! no bugs so far!

Huh? Sense may be an HTC ui but its not like a Desire wont work without it! In fact it works better without it, have you seen the aosp ROMs out there?

All sense ROMs are a little bit laggy as they kinda bog down the OS.. if you want a very fast and stable ROM, try an aosp ROM like CyanogenMod7.. its awesome! I've heard Oxygen is also very good, its what I'll be trying next

Stable bug free sense 3.0/3.5 Rom?

My brother has just got a Desire Z and has asked me to install a custom Rom.
I'm after a sense 3.0/3.5 that is stable and bug free. I have so far seen AHRD and rcmix4.0 which look ok.
What Rom would you suggest?

Try NRGZ's energy roms, Heavily modified for stability
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401560&highlight=energy

Any reason why a Cyanogenmod based ROM wouldn't be suitable? There are some very good ROMs available if those are an option to you.

Yes that is one of my options. It's looking like that or AHRD.
And yes, it needs to be sense.

Reading through the thread, even that Rom has a few issues.
Is there a sense 3.0 Rom thats completely bug free?
This Rom seems good, any reviews?

Hmmm, don't mind 2.1 as long its stable.
Another Rom which seems to fit the criteria is the insertcoin Rom. It's 2.1 but does have 3.0 features.

Any other opinions?

Use the energized one (RCMIX 4.0 energized blue) works great for me...just followed the instructions on the thread to fix the flash issue, and have no problems... been using it for almost a month now

Go with Virtuous Sense 2. Only 2.1 but it's the most stable sense ROM around. I've tried all the sense 3/3.5 and while they can be made to work ok with supercharge and other mods, they still aren't as stable as VS2.

If you want REAL speed and stability you should go for Cyanogen or MIUI, they worked perfect for me. I am trying to find a good Sense based ROM now, but it seems that Virtuous Sense is the most stable, still had some annoying issues with it.

I've been in the same position as yourself but I've recently found solace in Android Revolution HD, which is by far the smoothest, fastest and best Sense 3.5 ROM!

I agree

I agree (+1), the only time my Virtuous Sense 2.0 goes down is when I get bored and want to try something else. Uptimes of more that 15 days are common for me, where Sense 3.X roms rarley get a week without a reboot.

Trust me bliss sense hybrid v3.2 I've tried almost all roms and I find this the best !

+1 for bliss sense. Synergy also gets the job done. I have used both

Affinity 2.05, far the best and stable.

[Q] Best ROM for my GF :)

Hi,
i've passed my Desire to my girlfriend and now I need a ROM without all the stuff to beta test
All I want is a ROM with the following features:
- STABLE
- good call quality
- long battery live
- Sense preferred
that's it.
Can you help me, please?
TIA,
Para

If you're looking for some stable ROM with little things to tweak (less menu-available tweaks, less things for her to play with and mess up), you can either try AN-Droid (fast), SuperNova (lots of app space) or GingerWally 1.5 (as close to stock as possible, made to fit a Data++ partition). All of these ROMs are based on the stock 2.3.3 RUU by HTC, so they're both stable and easy to use.

+1 for AN-droid.

[Q] Silly Question

Hello All,
I have HTC Desire HD and I would like to root it. Is [ROM][11/05] Runny Xtreme Surprise - v3.0.0 || Xtreme Fast || a bit more stable than the official ROM? Also where should I start if I want to root my device?

I think you should use search first. That's how you'll find out how to root, s-off etc. Xtreme Surprise is a good rom, but i don't see much differences between it and Virtuous rom.

Virtuous ROM is not the official ROM for the HTC Desire HD, has the one with Sense 3.0. If I root it and upgrade it to Xtreme Surprise, will I get a better ROM with less bugs?

Before you try a different rom, make a backup of the one you already have. Before you root your phone, read the threads for the roms yoy are interested in. In the first page they will usually tell you if there are bugs. And if not, reading the rest of the pages will give you an idea how it works, if other users have encountered.bugs and so forth.
Sent from a dream.

Runny Xtreme Surprise is #$%@ing awesome, and you will get much better performance than you will on a stock ROM. It's stable as hell for me, but I think any custom ROM is going to have some minor bugs somewhere (although I haven't found any yet). RCMix tweaks seem to be fully functioning on Xtreme and, in my personal experience, the whole thing is smoother than any AOSP ROM I've used thus far (and I used to be pretty heavily biased against Sense).
Sorry for gushing, but I think it's the absolute pinnacle of GB development thus far.

AWESOME! Cannot wait then to flash it! I am working now as IT Technician but when I get home I will do it! \/

There's a tool that you can use to root your phone in a few minutes. It's not complicate. Use the search option and you will find it without any problem.
Also there's a few roms that you can try, all have different tastes, behavior, app, etc.
Also always make a Full wipe (factory reset) in the phone before that you proceed with flashing a new room
You will be very addictive installing roms like me, I can't stop of flashing roms in my phone

Just Installed it last night! AWESOMEEEEEEE!! My phone became very smooth and nice!! And when I reboot is soo quickk!!! AMAZINGG!! Who created this ROM must be genius!

I think you will test in the future many ROMs....
