Addicted to flashing ROM's ?? LOL

So i probably flash a new ROM maybe every second day at the latest lol, my wife reckons i should just make my office a new bedroom for my and my phone lol. ive tried about all of them i think, except the MIUI versions, tried one, didnt like it at all.
Out of pretty much all of them in the "Desire Index" i think i like Oxygen and ReflexTSense 1.8 the best i've flashed between them both many times...
At one point i had 7 ROM's backed up in clockwork ready to go just incase i had a panic attack (not really) and had to flash another ROM while in the drive through at burger king hahaha.
Any ideas what i can do next? ive tried building one and i got as far as using the kitchen in Ubuntu and a bit of Eclipse but i gave up after not being able to open the android .XML files lol.
SO... what can i flash thats not in the list or who can give me some more ideas about building or creating a theme?

I have flashed about 10 times in the last 2 weeks
currently using leedriod 2.3d and so far this is the one that spends the most time on my phone

Yea i definitely like LeeDroid 2.3d also, very reliable. the only reason i like ReflexTSense over LeeDroid is the HD Rom has a slightly better stock email app, the small fonts are kinda cool i think, and a just a few extra other little things i like about HD roms

I am addicted to SENSE ROMS, right now i am using AuraxTSense and quite happy with it until i find some thing that catches my interest. What would you recommend i try as a SENSE HD ROM.
I have the DESIRE.

I would recomend either ReflexTSense Or iNsertCoin 2.0.1 For iNsert you need to partition your card using the FAT,1GB EXT4, 300MB EXT4 and 100MB EXT4. so if thats a bit tricky stick with Reflex
I would lean towards Reflex, seems a tiny bit faster and you dont have to partition (apart from the standard FAT then EXT3 which you can do through ROM Manager) and i still have tones of apps installed and still have 127mb internal left
There are other good ones but ive tried about 9 or 10 of them and these 2 are the best IMO

I'm using a MIUI rom just for the folders.

the same to me, I have flashed 6 times between redux, amethyst and oxygen in last two week, finally, I stay on the redux.

Well...Now, I am using InsertCoin 2.0.1 Datas2Ext.
I flashed my Desire only during the search for a ROM that is suitable to my taste and needs.
I have flashed LeeDroids, RCmixHD, RCs Z, and DeFrost before I tried BaadNewz 1.3.
I have also tried one of the MIUIs and I don't like it...it is a bit too..iPhone-ish.
After flashing BaadNewz ROM (now InsertCoin), I know I have found what I have been searching for and decided to stick with the ROM.
So..it is not really an addiction for me.

You can flash the new 2.3.3 roms and post your thoughts and result

Which one do you mean?

Definitely has awesome battery life I was having a few issues with wifi on 2.0.2. Giving the latest redux a try tonight seems good so far. But I really like 2.0.1 oxygen. Really well put together ROM and quick as.
Tones of room after flashing the delvik 2sd script also

I'm a bit of a crackhead-level ROM addict, I tried using RCmixHD DeSenseized 3.5 A2SD+ and then realized that i could not make or recieve phone calls, and so flashed mini-sense only to find that the recommended A2SD+ script doesn't work at all, reverted back to a CM7 RC3 backup to then go to ReflexTsense 8.4 which i decided is the ROM for me(for now at least)....all in one night!!
P.s: is EXT3 better than EXT4 at handling most A2SD+ ROMs? (specifically DHD roms)
EDIT: Just wanna give a shoutout to Rerware's MyBackup Root for being so fast at restoring apps!

Haven't flashed a new ROM in weeks, found Redux 1.1.0 and I've been more than happy, first Gbread rom I've had that's been fault-free so far.

I think so, apparently ext4 will shorten the life of your card also
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

ext4 shorten card life? why is that?

i used leedroid for awhile but the dsp manager on the mini site doesnt work proeprly for me. it crackles and pops if i even turn on the equaslizer. so i went to cool hd which is by far in my eyes, the best most stable hd rom out there. used it for afew weeks. never had a reboot or fc. just recently changed to cyanogen rc3 to give er a try. the thing u gotta do is find the rom that suits you. gingersense suits me but until shes done, cyanogen rc4 and cool sense hd is where il stay

Im a noob so dont take my word on it, but I've heard flash memory becomes slower over time the more you write on it. EXT4 has a feature called journaling that I guess should be relatively similar to indexing service on windows. It will improve performance at the cost of writing data more often, hence the shorter life expectancy.
Now lets see if a real geek feels like showing us some light on this matter so I can eat my words.

Which is Rom better for daily use?

Hi guys, new to the desire community.
Which Rom is better for daily use?
-supernova gb sense Rom
-leedroid hd 3.3.3
-leedroid v2.5
-leedroid v3.0.8.2
Thanks guys! Been thinking which is good.

Which ROM do you like the most? Which one of them to you works the best? Ask yourself a few questions, and when a specific ROM always comes up first you'll find your answer.

Currently using leedroid hd v3.3.3. But the internal memory seems to go down fast with a2sd++.

Thats the same question as the OP but adding an extra variable. See Timmaaa's response

I've found that pretty much any Sense GB ROM has glitches here and there, whether it be MMS not sending, camera flash timing, video playback stuttering etc etc etc.
About 4 days ago, I went back to Leedroid 2.5.0 and although it's only Android 2.2, it just works as it should.
The only thing that bothered me was that there are no toggles for wifi/Bluetooth etc in the notification bar, but there's a little mod to flash that enables that as well, so now it's spot on.
I'd recommend this for daily use.

That's because the "any Sense GB ROM" you referred to are all ports! Naturally, there will be bugs. Anything based on official HTC RUU-GB Roms like Supernova, Teppic, Alex-V; or Froyo Roms-StarBurst, old Leedroid shouldnt have issues.

It feels kinda wrong rolling back to 2.2, but it works well, so.........

Lol, I guess!
My main gripes are:
- Camera capturing images just as the flash is switching off, so pics come out too dark
- Audio and Video being out of sync on videos recorded with the camcorder, when the resolution is set to anything higher than 640x480
(I have a 3 yr old son, so the camera/videocamera gets used a lot!!)
So what about your ROM?
Can you confirm whether these issues are apparent in it?
I've been reading about it and it sounds great, but there's no point flashing it if these issues occur!!
Many thanks

Unfortunately, I've not really tested these details specifically on SuperNova (my work is mainly based on advanced system scripts), and cant test it at the moment, since...wait for it..I'm on my Froyo Rom, StarBurst If I test it out later, I'll update this thread with my results
The reason I switched back to Froyo was the superior network and wifi drivers, which will never be solved on GB Sense without source/a better Ruu..

if you want sense, you should try silky tobasco's
if not oxygen is the best..

Hmmm...
at the moment, GB AOSP ROMs are relatively more stable than the GB Sense ROMs (with Sense 1.9, 2.1, 3.0 and 3.5 or hybrid/2.1+3.0)
GB Sense ROMs are still not yet mature (my opinion) and as usual, maturity increases along with the developing time.
If you want really reliable ROMs, use Froyo Sense ROMs or any other AOSP or MIUI ROMs.
BTW:
I am now on GB Oxygen (http://forum.oxygen.im/)
and waiting for ICS
I really really hope the devs can come up with stable ICS for daily usage.

[Q] Best ROM for Desire Z for BEST RAM PERFORMANCE

Hello. I need help regarding the best ROM for my Desire Z. I need either sense 3.0 or sense 3.5 and need the best possible ram as i have already installed 4 ROMs and i have had problems with lags in messages and the lag in circle ring lock. overall homescreens as smooth but i need ram for reading msgs fast and applications launch quickly like on my default sense 2.1. i have tried runnydroid which is probably the fastest in homescreen scrolling but very weak in ram and opening apps. currently running desire HD rom with sense 3.0 v1.3 which is slightly better but i need something better in terms of RAM and with sense 3.0 or 3.5
help would be really appreciated
thanks

first of all, let's clear things out... sense 3.x was never meant to run on our desire z, i say HTC made a mistake when they released an official 3.x update
second, sense 3.x needs LOTS of ram to work. So, you don't have enough ram to run apps, solution? try the v6 supercharger script, set it as multitasking settings...
want more? make a SWAP partition on your sdcard, SWAP makes a part of your sdcard to work as ram...
want even more, you can bulletproof you messages app in order not to automatically kill it when in need of ram
i'll give you links if you want

First of all thanks for your kind replies. Riro Zizo thanks alot for these links. Can you tell me which ROM what work the best with these? the thing is that there must be a ROM which would be better in RAM performance. like my desire HD rom was better than runnydroid at least it was usable. now what do u mean by official sense 3.0 update? my last update was android 2.3.3 with 2.1 sense which is why i installed custom roms to get newer sense. thanks a lot
and blackknightavalon what do u mean by AOSP?
thanks a lot
oh one more thing. ive heard that with swap the sdcard gets a lower life and it dies quickly after a while

Same position as you on Desire Z and HAD to have Sense 3 - well after trying Unity and Affinity and another that wouldn't even boot and loads of crashes and mem issues I gave up. Yes I did the swap partition (for Leedroid/Ace but those never would install via CM recovery 5) didn't do the supercharger thing...but eventually went to G-Lite and really happy.
Sense is great but slow/laggy, even on Virtuous Sense or my stock rom...my OTA GB was slow too. Best to find or invest in a few apps or widgets and switch to a non Sense rom like G-Lite cos RAM is a real issue on the Z it seems (reason for rooting apart from the usual privacy/adware stuffs was speed, upset at seeing LOADING every time I opened my homescreen)

I agree... Sense-less ROMs are the best ones and they run the smoothest on Desire Z. I first took on CM7 and then moved to Bulletproof's MIUI which stopped me from selling my phone. However, even then the phone started to lag after a months use. Next step was to move to Elitemod244 which is basically based on CM7 but supercharged and ultra-fast. This stopped me from dumping my phone to get a Galaxy Nexus.
I would recommend that you try Elitemod244 (or the latest version if you want) and then modify it to your liking. It will take some time, but at least your phone will be fast and would work as it should instead of hanging or reloading the launcher time n time again.

thanks for your kind replies but the thing is i NEED sense 3.0 or 3.5 and i will run this desire HD rom if i dont get any other roms. ive already used cyangenmod already but i need sense. are there any roms which might be better than the desire HD rom? and im recently having an issue that i dont receive all text messages and some of these are lost in this particular rom. any way to fix this?

In that case i would go for Virtuous Sense, doesn't have to much bullsht in it..
And for the lost messages, there is standard an app installed in these roms that collects all your messages.
Btw.. I'm surfing xda for 2 years now daily, and today is the first time i made an account Really EVERYTHING about everything has been asked before i came here, so there was no need for it.
Just wanted to say this...

you can try any sense rom you want without any issues if you do all these tweaks i told you about... launcher reloads can be solved by making a file called "local.prop" in /data/ (if you already have the file, edit it) and put this inside it
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
and reboot... this WILL solve your problem, GUARANTEED

Why do you need Sense that bad? We're trying to get rid of it over on the MT4GS boards.

Just curious, what do you need Sense for?
I was losing text messages also, but I solved that by preventing the messaging apk from being closed. It's a simple setting in Cyanogenmod, but I believe that is what Riro Zizo is talking about when they say Bulletproof an app.

Blackout incredible has Sense 3.6 And when I apply the v6Supercharger it works pretty fine. But remember that you need to Format your SD card before you install it. It gives you extra performance. atleast it happened to me.

I fully understand why you might want a SENSE rom.
I have tried many roms since my DZ is out of warranty, the Mimicry one was nearly the best, except it had bad performances after some weeks of usage.
And this AOSP was a android 4 rom with nice custom features, but there was a LOT i missed from SENSE. Let's just talk about the weather/clock widget, the audio player, the FM radio app, the nice interface, the perfect virtual keyboard...
Sense really offers the best user experience on that phone.
A few days ago I finally the perfect rom, you should try it: TrickDroid 4.0.0
As told in the corresponding topic on xda, you just absolutely need to enable swap because it's a full Sense 4.
And if you want some specific tweaks from AOSP, of you want to remove some things from Sense, the TrickDroid Tweaks allows you to simply do that.

First ROM ever ... Absolution?

I want to flash my first ROM ever and ive been trying to read a bit and decide on the most appropriate ROM for me. I want something fast and with a good battery life and from what Ive been reading Absolution seems to offer both these things really well. One thing I dont think im willing to give up right now however is the ability to sync facebook images and information onto my contacts. Do Absolution and other Cyanogen based ROMS allow us to do that? Any one with any other suggestions that you think may be easier for me to handle for a first ROM? Also, is there a way for me to backup my current stock rooted ROM so I go back to it in case I dont like CM?

If you want cyanogenmod based ROMs, for me blackICE ROM is the best by far.
If you want to stick to official releases for our DHD, Android Revolution or wait for LeeDroiD to update his ROM
If your want sense 3.5, in my opinion SmartDroiD is my ROM of choice,it really is the best ROM I've ever used, but there is ER3BUS ROM and RcMiX Runny. Currently I'm on ER3BUS as I wanted to test it and I've ended up loosing my USB cable so I'm stuck atm but I will be returning to SmartDroiD soon as I can.

Yea, when you first install a custom ROM after making your choice, obviously you will have clockwordmod recovery on the phone. From here you can do backups (referred to as nandroid backups) you can also initiate this from ROM manager.
Good luck intrepid Modder.
Also my recommendations are
Sense - Android Revolution HD. It's stock Sense look and feel with good battery life and amazing support, practically 24hour.
AOSP - CM7 - Again amazing support and a great experience. It can link your FB profile pics, but don't expect and decent resolution.
Bleeding Edge - LC ICS Beta 4.5 - Great if you want to try the new flavour of Android but really not for the new modder.

Thanks a lot for the help guys. Knowing that I can back up my stock rom is particularly comforting. Im hoping il have enough time this weekend to get around to doing this. By then Il make sure to look around for some videos of each of those ROMs in order to better choose my first

I feel that Absolution and Blackice are roughly on par with each other, and both are excellent. I'm very curious about Wilkyyy's reasoning...
If your only serious criteria are speed and battery life, the Oxygen 2.3.2 port can't be beaten IMHO. It has far fewer "options" than the former two ROMs though, and there is no CM7-style theming. If you use an alternate launcher like Go, though, then this isn't really an issue or even very relevant.

Everyone will tell you what they think is the best rom out there. It is all a matter of opinion and taste. I would suggest watching the threads and see which ones are up to date with features that are appealing to you and try them each out for a few days/hours/minutes etc until you settle into one that makes you happy. There are tons of quality roms and many that are inactive as far as development too. Just be sure to back up your go to or stock rom before experimenting.

i would say virtuous affinity-v1.48.0 its fast and dont use much battery
i think you can use mybackup pro to backup your stock rom
but i think you need to root it first

Don't think twice, perfect ROM for DHD is Android Revolution HD™ 6.3.1.

How's that, chief? You can use launcher themes to change the look of your phone interface, if you're really "into" that kind of thing. Yeah, sure, your settings menu won't change, but if you're gonna lose sleep over that, then your problems run much deeper in my opinion.
Another alternative for Oxygen is the kitchen, which has already been done by at least one user.

Android Revolution and Absolution are my two favorites... Can't go wrong with either and you get a mix of flavors, Sense (ARHD) and CM7 based (Absolution). I randomly switch between these two but Absolution has more development and updates happening than does ARHD.

thanks i tried absolution ... amazing but the one true downfall has been horrible wifi ... will try a new radio and see if that fixes things though

Which Sense ROM would the Wildfire S community recommend?

Hello everybody, I have been a long time user of android phones and have had a HTC Desire S for the last one year. My younger sister has a Wildfire S, and after 8 months, she has finally agreed to allow me to S-off it as she is plagued with low memory and inability yo install more apps.
Being a part of the XDA community for quite sometime now, I have realised that no matter how much you know about android in general, specific advice should always be taken from members using the device in questions. Because there are issues only they are aware of. As an outsider, I can only request you to kindly give me your opinions on which ROM I should flash once I have S-offed it...
My only requirements are that it should be a sense 3.x ROM with plenty of memory - eg link2sd or something like that. To be honest, I dont know much about the latter, because having 1 GB of internal memory on my DS, I've never attempted to use it. But my lil sister would appreciate it if you guys could guide me in the right direction.
I really hope you can help me out on this one. Thank you.
Do pardon me if I'm asking an oft repeated question, and sorry for intruding into your forum.

EQDKP for 3.5. I feel this is the best right now. I tried .sense also but it has a few bugs right now which, I really can't live it. It maybe minor 'bugs' but I don't like it. EQDKP is nice. Would wait for .sense to give out the final build and then flash it

Thank you everyone for the replies. Waited a lot for some opinions yesterday, but when none came, i read thru the forum and decided to go for this one :
[ROM]m1ndh4x8r GB2.3.5|OCKernel|Stable|Apps2SD|DATA2SD|Premium Features[2/29/2012]
I must say, so far so good. No real issues with the ROM. Except that i had two system freezes requiring battery pull. Maybe these were related to the phone not being able to handle the high clockspeed of 806MHz. Toned that to 245-768 On demand, and has been fine so far. I like the clean, stock feel this ROM has...and since it's based on an official release, i don't expect any real issues. Big thanks to the dev behind it - m1ndh4x8r
I also stuck to the built in A2SD for moving apps and dalvik to sd card, instead of links2sd or data2sd because i wanted to set up a selfsustaining phone where the user wouldn't have to bother about linking apps and stuff- just point and shoot!
Although since so many of you recommend .sense and EQDKP for 3.5, maybe i'll give those a try and see how it goes. Now that she's rooted, can't be long before she starts craving for something new, eh?
Ring a bell, anyone ?

In Link2SD, once it has been set up, you can put it on Auto-Link so that all new apps installed directly get linked to SD without you doing any work

Thank you for that tip. Maybe next time i get my hands on the phone (it's been hungrily snatched away from me by the ecstatic owner, who is now, for the first time ever, going crazy installing a ton of apps like a crazy person!!)
Thanks for all your time. Keep up the good work guys.
Best regards, Amit.

That's an old version you're using.
This is a new one, with Sense 3.5

It's deodexed, which means you'll have ~30-40mb free when you flash it, but just follown the instructions for how to re-odex deodexed ROM, and you'll have ~110mb free.Then you can use Link2SD.

Honestly I prefer Sense 2.1 Roms.
They are much more bug proof.
Despite what's in my sig I'm using Thing by einstein.frat now.
It's fast and furious.
It's also based on an official ROM so nothing undpredictible should happen. When its dev launched kernel v2 I was totally convinced.
Good luck trying to get the phone in your hands.
