What is the fastest sense rom available? Either standard sense or sense HD.
I'm currently on Ginger villain but it has to many issues so would like to go back to 2.2.
But I really like the speed on 2.3 so would like something similar.

Use Oxygen 2.0.1. It's flawless for me. Or failing that CM7. Both use Gingerbread 2.3.3.
I prefer sense to be honest. I've tried oxygen and redux and all have issues.

Cheers, so next question. So what's quicker, sense or sense HD?

Sense HD, but I have only tried it on my DHD albeit very briefly before installing CM. I can't say what the ports are like.

I would say a normal Sense rom would be faster, don't have the data to support this though but all Sense HD rom use data2sd to even run and having all the system files on nand is faster. Heck even having all the applications on the internal memory should be faster.

Just installed insertcoin Rom and its really good so far.
Question is, is there any way to make the Rom quicker? I'm currently on A2SD.
Will D2SD be quicker?
I don't want D2Ext as I have heard that nandroid does not recognise the 2nd partition so I will not be able to do a backup.

insertcoin data++ is the fastest HD rom I have seen, or used. Need some basic knowledge to get it running (custom NAND partitions). But wow it is super smooth for me so far.

are you seriously a speed freak, what for do you need the quickest ROM in the world?
I was on redux 2.3 which had really good speed and very stable.
I've had to come back to 2.2 as I had too many issues with 2.3. So I would like a sense Rom that is similar to redux speed wise.

Cheers, I don't really want a D2ext Rom as don't seem very stable, and recovery does not recognize the 2nd partition so nandroid backup does not work.

maybe u can emulate the sense features u want with tasker (like the muting by flipping feature) and go pure gingerbread. that ought to be faster than a sense based rom.

then just try data++
but d2ext for me was even beter as a2sd
Not a simple question ...
Speed depends much on:
- your kernel (and any optimizations in the kernel)
- how much you can run from NAND
I am using a combination of tricks from here and there ...
- Sense, Froyo
- Bloatware removed ;-) (I don't use flickr, faceboo, twitter and some of the sense widgets => removed; but in itself this does not contribute to speed)
- some optimization settings running from scripts in /etc/init.d/ (sysctl, readahead increase, optimized memory settings, optimized network settings that work well on my home wireless)
- dalvik heap 48m
Then use data++ to increase your data partition, move /system/app/ to sd card and you can run everything from internal flash memory, which at the end is faster than sd-card tricks (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992176)
Finally, I have compiled my own kernel (starting from richard's source, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801435) with some additional patches from arighi's blog, see http://arighi.blogspot.com/).
I have tried many many things over the past 4 months but the above so far has resulted in an extremely fast ROM with absolutely no lags.
Any other views?

I am using InsertCoin 2.0.1 Data2Ext and it is super fast, ultra smooth and unbelieveable stable.
I have not got any FCs or data lost or whatsoever, I dunno why some people are having trouble with the Data2Ext version of the ROM.
The A2SD version is also good, fast, smooth, and stable but not as fast and smooth as the Data2Ext version.
I have been using InsertCoin since it was still called Baadnewz 1.3 and I have not used any other ROM ever since I tried it.
My ROMs before are LeeDroids, Robociks HD and Z, DeFrost, and one of the MIUI (I hate MIUIs resemblance to iPhone).
I heard/read the InsertCoin data++ is faster but I wanna stay with Data2Ext at least for now.
Hi,
Can anyone point out to me a Gingerbread ROM with the latest HTC Sense not (3.0 obv) that is bug-free or more so Stable enough to use and is not modified to an extent that it wouldn't be considered as Stock.
I've looked through the Development section and found ROMS that meets some of my criteria but the common this is a 'Camera/Camcorder bug of some-sort.
Thank you!
Rcmix s rom v0.8.. im using the cm7 version so te cm7 tables need to be flashed.
then a fat32 and an ext3 partion on your scard.
also use a2sgui from the market to move dalvic to your ext partition to free up more internal memory if you have alot of appa
been using it for a week or so without any problems, although the video camera doesnt work.
But its better and faster than those based on the leaked desire gingerbread rom, an has the better sense version.
Well i tried both RcmixS and InsercoinS and Cool S ...based on AceS rom,and they're slow as hell >_> Stable,but slow,not worth it (yet...i have hopes for the future).As for the Roms based on the leaked Desire Asia WWE rom,they're all stable,but still have some bugs and speed issues...my opinion,wait a bit more until the Official Europe WWE rom comes out,and some1 makes a good rom out of that
I wonder if the final gingerbread rom from HTC will be 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.3..

Doubt it, we don't even have a front camera.
I am thinking more the bugfixes for the '3 second delay' stuff that 'may' be included in 2.3.4
is it worth the effort to keep sense?
i left the stock rom a few months ago and tried out cm, then gingervilain and now use oxygen/devnull
i quickly decided the massive speed increase and extra memory was worth not having sense.
I have the same problem. A Gingerbread ROM based on the new Sense with the video recording working...
I'm using insertcoin Rom and i'm happy with this. I tried couple of other roms, but this one is really fast and this one have many quick updates. IC' s developer is very hard working man ;-)

I'm currently using InsertCoin A2SD CM7 HBOOT/A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT v15, and I'm very happy with it. Using it from v02.
InsertCoin is the best rom 2.3.3 with sense currently. You should take the A2SD+ because you'll don't have to change the HBOOT.

I've tried just about every GB sense ROM besides the Desire HD versions and they all have bugs but they are stable and ok for everyday use. The best GB ROMS are the AOSP ones, CM7, GingerVillain and Oxygen if you want a complete GB experience.
I favour AuraxTSense as my ROM of choice as it meets my needs and there is a GB version out but with bugs. I'm going to wait till all the bugs are fixed then make my move, as right now 2.2 ROMS are flawless.

its likely to be only a month or two before the dev's can be working on an official gingerbread release anyway.
i cant wait to see what they will do but i expect it to be a lot better than HTC manage
RCMix S went v1.0 today. It's really stable and fast as far as I know. I'm on the v09 at the moment.

And Insert Coin get Version 17. With all featuers of the RCMix and Trackball to wake.
leedroid
leedroid is a very stable and bugfree rom i have used.
I have been testing a few gb roms including RCM and reflex. I have found them to be slower when compared to Leedrioid 2.4.1. Are the latest gb roms not quite there yet due to there currently been no official 2.3 ruu?
I have been using InsertCoin since the beginning and it has just gone from strength to strength. Very very fast and faster than Leedroid v2.4.1
Thats one I havent tried, will give it a go.
I'm using LeeDroid 3.0.5 GB and it's freakin' awesome! Built-in task management is such a welcome addition, works really well IMO...
I also used LeeDrOiD v3.0.5. It is really nice. But now i use Redux v1.2 (it is an aosp-gingerbread v2.3.3). It feels so much faster and smoother. Seems to be more stable, too. It does not have Sense, nevertheless i like it much more than leedroid after a short time for adjustment.

insertcoin now is nice for me. v20 that is. tried v17 a week ago maybe and it was laggy at times. v20 is nice
Both Insertcoin and Reflex S roms are very fast and responsive roms. By the way, if you feel comfortable changing your partition tables (really easy with android flasher) You should give the CM7 partion table roms a go, they're even faster than the normal A2SD versions. (Insertcoin and RCMix have this for instance)
Hi, sorry for noob question.. hv never rooted/installed custom roms, but will do that very soon.
What are ext3 and ext4 partitions used for? in tutorials of the dev of InsertCoin seen that only ext4 created (so, why I am confused) & assume ext1 and 2 assigned already to the system, right?

NB: Everything i say here i say under correction.
Ext 3 & 4 are extended file systems, these are needed by ROMS which use A2SD (Apps2SD). These file systems mimic "internal storage" space as when you use a custom ROM that uses A2SD all the apps you install will install to the Ext 3/4 partition. Normally if a ROM says its needs Ext 4 the you need to partition your SD card with a Ext 4 partition or the ROM wont work. Whereas if the sat Ext2/3/4 then you can use either.
Hope this helped

I have decided to go back to 2.4.1, so much faster than the current gb roms, will look at gb when the official software is out and the developers can tweak it.
I tried Redux and Oxygen. Fast gb roms imo.
i like Reflex S v1.9.9
But now Videocamera is still a problem
I had MMS issues on GB roms, despite they are quite fast, they feel too buggy to me, that's why I reflashed a stock Froyo rom (that is bug free)
Going from Froyo to Gingerbread

Hi. Could you pass on a little information to me please? I have Leedroid 2.4.1(Froyo). I'm using A2SD with an ext3 partition. Not using Sense.
Would like to give a Gingerbread ROM a try.
Is there anything I need to do special/different when putting a GB based ROM onto my Desire as oppose to when I've upgraded a Froyo based one?
I'm thinking Radio updates or Nandroid backup or....?
Thanks
miui rocks and now its 2.3.4 check it out miuiandroid .com
Yes i can confirm that, im using cmiui. Its the best miui version. I think its the best because i cant find bugs ^^
In Addition: if u try it u will never have an other rom. Anymor, so many features its incredible and so easy to use

Did you try insertcoin?
hey there guys, just wanting some advice currently i have mine and a friend i know using RCMixHD v3.6 i think its great, if a little problematic, but my friend whos phone i rooted and installed RCMixHD v3.6 isnt really any good at all this and if problems arise he has no idea how to fix it. So what im looking for is the best rom to get him using that is trouble free, but that also gives more space for apps, IMO the only problem with these desires is the lack of space for apps.
So guys you lot are the experts, whats the best desire rom that gives more space for apps, preferably i think without partitioning the memory card. cos i think thats whats causing the problems he gets.
If You don't want to partition SD card try one of AOSP roms, but the best way to get more spare for apps is to partition SD and flash A2SD+ rom.
Go s-off and flash either Oxygen or CM7 hboot then the corresponding rom. Personally I have CM7 because I find it better. Anyway, I'd you need to, you can setup A2SD later if need be but you do get 300+ MB of storage with these hboots.
I don't like to use A2SD because for 1, I have a slow card, class 2 and second, it can really **** up.

I'd rather go with Redux or Oxygen. and trick them out with apps.
I'm using RCMix S 1.6.1 A2SD+ and it's really fast and stable. I've got lot of, ~50 apps, and phone running without any lags. Updates are very often ~1-2 in a week. It's even work on s-on phones. Only condition is sd partition, but if you want a lot of space you need to have one.

If you want ROM with sense i would go with Leedroid 3.0.6 (stable, fast and has App2SD out of the box). If you want ROM without sense, i would go with Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. It doesn't come with App2SD by default, but you can easily install it.
Well, maybe you should just try out?
Start with oxygen or devnull, install apps, make sure sync all to cloud.
After that try other roms, everytime you flash new rom - get your apps and settings from cloud...
That's what I do when I'm bored and wanna try a new rom....

Might want to check on that, the RCMix team are responsible for some of the best, most stable, and most regularly updated ROM's on the HD/Sense3 side so they DO know how.
I would second RCMix, problem is it's by the same guys..
i go with reflextsense 2.05 by now, and downloading.
for me it's fast n stable.
thanks to Neo..
I have used cm, oxygen, insertcoin, leedroid, but my favourite of all is Reflex S by Neo. Currently using 2.0.5, but may switch back to 2.0.2 as I prefer the newer messages app.

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I rooted my Desire I think a month ago now.
Since then I tried Modaco R26, Cyanogen 7.02, Redux, Defrost and since two days I am using F1 Cyanogen.
I like Defrost very much, it's Froyo (love the froyo white statusbar theme) and it's small and fast. I also like Redux, Gingerbread, but also small and fast.
F1 is Cyanogen based, stripped from lots of stuff that you can dl yourself from the market afterwards if you want. Very nice too.
Some odd thing (to me), I have one or two apk's, like simple clock widget, in some ROM's (Defrost) it will install in English and I will see it in English in Market too, in others (Redux and F1) it's only available in Chinese and if I install the same apk it also turns up as a Chinese version on my phone..
Which one and why?

But did you use rcmixs?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I did on daily base... Insert Coin is great, I use v28 Nightly, but also love Robocik's work. The best thing is to try both of them and decide which one is best for you. InsertCoin seems stable and fast... but then again Baad... used RCmixHD as start point...
I'm kinda curious as to the differences too.
Yes I also try RCMix S rom, try them to have your own opinion, try InsertCoin Cm7 Hboot Version
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Well you wouldn't beleive but there are some differences. First of all depends which HBOOT u r using,,couse rcmixhd makes it pretty fast and stable on both stock & cm7 hboot. If u are stock u can try robo's new script x-a2sd and u get over 300 mb internal to start. But feels like InsertCoin somehow perfected cm7 rom ver, while stock is still stuck with some lags. Depends on lot's of things. I use louncher pro always, and it requires strong and stable rom to run smoothly. The differences you can feel...
Maybe i can ask different. What things made you choose one of them after testing them both?
Speed or stability or shiny stuff?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well I've been sorta switching between both of them for a while because they are in my opinion the two best Gingerbread Sense ROMs around for the Desire. There aren't in fact any major differences between the two to be honest since they both strive to do pretty much the same thing. InsertCoin gets updated more frequently I find than RCMix since custom ROMs are created by ordinary folk who have other commitments. Both ROMs have few bugs though what happened recently is I used the latest RCMix to find that the maps app kept crashing and then I used InsertCoin to find Paypal and the Collins dictionaries I bought had disappeared from the Android Market. My advice would be to try both and see which one works best for you. If you have Rom Manager Premium, you can also get OTA of InsertCoin which seems to be the most up to date one these days though Baadnews has now created nightlies for InsertCoin as well as a stable version which is also very handy I think. I reckon when the official Gingerbread Desire ROM gets leaked, there'll be less bugs. Anyway have fun!
The Insercoin 1.02 is perfect,
but i had got 1 problem, it's the TTS service can't use
Well, I am using InsertCoin 1.0.2 and I only encountered some minor problems: Facebook for Android does not work properly and the name of my operator changed back to the earlier one. Other than that, I like this ROM.
Agree with Iunoma. I keep flashing InsertCoin's Nightly ver for few days now and call me freaky but somehow feel that InsertCoin's even Nightly rom is faster than RCmixHD. My first choice speed, then stability, then extra stuff... So, there you are. I would rather flash perfected froyo then GB and Kingdom port if they gets slow. And I did at first, then flashed lots of rcmixes and InsertCoin's Nightly at the end... But the most helpful was flashing CM7 over stock HBOOT...
