It can be different to give a quantitative comparison, as I didn't keep much data on available memory, etc. In theory, it is a more mature build, because the build number of Windows Mobile has rev'd a few points. This should help to keep memory leakage down ... should. The new ROM seems more responsive. If you are happy with the Rogers ROM, there probably isn't much, if any reason to move to the HTC ROM. I decided to experiment and try the new HTC ROM, because I wanted to see if Voice Control 1.6 worked any differently on this latest ROM, not because I was dissatisfied with the Rogers ROM.
i flashed from the rogers to the new htc rom and i have used this rom for about a week and with the htc rom my fone has frozen up 4 times, where i have to remove the battery to restart my fone. i have never had the rogers rom freeze up on me b4 and i used it for about a month. also to me it seems like the htc rom leaks out memory. with the rogers rom i would restart my fone every other day and the memory would not go lower than 19,000kb but with the htc rom if i dont restart it two days it would be at about 17,000 kb. am i the only one experiencing this? + im thinking twice about flashing back to the rogers rom, wat do u guys suggest?
I'm using the latest HTC build. I've used the Rogers rom, and it's loads better than the t-mobile one, but the branding just pissed me off. The htc is much better in that area, and it's definately quick and responsive.
I have two phones, one i use for work and one for testing.
I have tested all the rom but i'm usung now for about 1/2 year the Russian rom, custumized and flashed with the latest radio version.
I'm usung my phone a lot with all the possibilities you have and no problem at all.
Believe me, it is even so fast as the new rom.
But, so has everybody his own feeling..
The Superior ROM
I have two devices also, I use one for testing. The thing that stands out with me is the radio on the Rogers ROM. In the area where I live, I find the Rogers radio, by far superior and the strongest. I'm now back to testing the T-Mobile ROM, with the Rogers radio installed in the T-Mobile ROM. Thanks to jhow99 Fash Tool.zip, since I installed the Rogers radio in the T-Mobile ROM, I notice for some reason it speeds the T-Mobile ROM up and the reboot loop the loop reboot problem has vanish. I now also have a fix to stop the T-Moble default blue screen from coming back every time after you soft reset your device. I will continue to test the T-mobile ROM in this current state and if the T-Mobile Rom continue to run at the speeds it doing now, I might have to say that the T-Mobile ROM is by far superior to all the ROM's. I will remind you, my testing is not yet completed, I'm really shocked about my findings thus far with the T-Mobile ROM........!

RAM - LEAKS
I didn't do any testing along these lines with the Rogers ROM. I do have the latest HTC ROM installed and last night, before I went to bed, I soft-reset my phone. Available memory after the soft-reset is around 18,100. I have less available memory than most, because I use Voice Command. When I checked it this AM, available RAM had dropped to 16,300 - presumably while doing nothing as I slept, 1,800 of ram had leaked.
STABILITY - FREEZE
I thought that it might have been me doing different things. For example, using the Rogers ROM, I rarely enabled Bluetooth Activesync or WiFi, but things have changed and I find myself using WiFi much more and Activesync with my home PC exclusively with Bluetooth. Where I am going with this is that I thought, because of the change in usage patters, I was experiencing some instability ... but this new HTC ROM does seem to freeze up much more often than the Rogers ROM. In fact, I don't recall that the Rogers ROM had ever frozen up on me. It has been right around one full week with the new HTC ROM and I know that I have frozen ... probably five times.

absolutely the ROGERS, first of all, cuz u cannot use 'z' when u find contacts if u choose the latest HTC ROM, Really inconvenient, hm?
additionally, Under HTC ROM, when I press start and scroll down to find the shortcut I want, it breezed for about 1~3s frequently.I'v no idea why this happened. But it seldom occurs when I use the ROGERS ROM.
So I prefer the ROGERS ROM!
With the Rogers Rom I was having to reboot sometimes twice daily. I'm having to reboot much less with the HTC rom. I'd go with the HTC rom.

Would you mind elaborating on the circumstances that required the reboot? I don't intend to sound as if I am denying your experience, I just haven't experienced the same, so I am trying to figure out why that might be the case.
This newest HTC ROM showed lots of promise, but as a few others have experienced, unexpected freezes has me heading back to the Rogers ROM.
Of course, some have experienced unexpected freezes with the Rogers ROM and moving to the latest HTC ROM helped to eliminate the problems the experienced.

I like HTC better but cant put a finger on why
I used Rogers for a week then switched to HTC. seems more stable (rogers was more erratic (Im in Brazil) Rogers seemed faster in some things but in general Ill stick with HTC. QUOTE THE TMO NEVERMORE
PS if you try one then the other you might have an instalation issue (I did) second installation wouldnt work till I reinstalled TMO rom then did new installation. The HTC is much prettier than rogers
Does the Rogers rom support micro SDHC cards?
I have just spent an absolute age with HTC tech support, and the answer to the few that have been suffering with no data via wifi is................send your handset in for repair.
I honestly have completely lost the will to live, no matter what i say to try and convince them the issue is software related as i can use 2.2.1 absolutely fine, it seems to completely be over everyones head, i even spoke to a manager, who after listening to everything i said, who then spent 3 minutes in silence came back with "broken wifi module"
Arghh, they now want to book my handset in for repair, which i am reluctant to do as they quote a turn around of 20 days currently, i dont want to be without a handset that long.
all i want is gingerbread on my handset and be able to use WiFi, 3G works perfectly
Has anyone had any luck in solving this? its not a router issue, i have tried 4 different routers, its not a signal issue (i have a full signal, and its not dropping the signal), i have tried every 2.3.3 custom rom and stock rom out there and still no data Via WiFi, tried different radio's, and different kernels,
If i go back to using the Android revolution 2.3.2 beta, it works fine, so its defo since the 2.3.3 update.
any help from anyone would be so gratefully recieved i will buy you a pint!
Hi there,
Have you flashed the matching RIL's for your radios? A similar issue affected me but it was only with CM7 and ARHD. I flashed the radio in my signature (good WiFi performance for signal and battery life) and the corresponding RIL and all was working after a couple of reboots.
Hope this helps.
i have indeed pal, really really struggling with this.
A work colleague has just completed his OTA update at work, same issue,
at least i know its not just mine
im wondering if its something to do with the wifi driver in the ota,
Actually its not just the ota, tried the RUU just now, same issue
any Dev's got any clues?
Mate,
I´ve downgraded the ROM as per this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003), and now it is working perfectly. No need of gingerbread, I noticed that I do not need it anyway. Instead of that, my baby is alive and kicking againg.
Cheers.

im back on LeeDroid 2.2.1 custom rom and everything works like a charm, there isnt anything on gingerbread i need, but i want the option, i prefare the menu, but i can not be without WiFi. I have just sent HTC a humerous letter/email, i have spent hours on the phone with them today.
Sent LeeDroid a pm, see if he has any idea why this is, or if there is anyway to sort it
hopefully someone soon can come up with something, there are only a few of us with the problems, but even so HTC should release a patch or something to rectify it. A guy who has a T-Mobile branded device at work has updated fine, but myself and another colleague (both unlocked sim free devices from the carphonewarehouse) have the no data issue via wifi
i am losing the will to live
Hi all,
I want to try and find out if anyone has had issues with force close messages or the browser just randomly disappearing on 2.2 on the Wildfire?
I'm thinking it is an issue with the T-Mobile UK version of it as I have had it with two different T-Mobile wildfires and after factory resets and reflashing of firmware by HTC. It will happen 2 or 3 times on 2.2 in just 5 minutes of browsing but very rarely happens by comparison on 2.1
I'm thinking of going to an unbranded version of 2.2 rooted but just thought I'd ask if anyone else has had that issue either unbranded or on other networks?
Wow - I upgraded to a stock 2.2 for Wildfire then rooted and my internet browser hasn't crashed once, it's fantastic. I can't believe I have 2.2 installed and can surf the internet on it without it constantly crashing...
Two different wildfires, 2 repairs by HTC, factory resets/reboots etc and the problem never went away with the T-Mobile UK firmware...
This unbranded stock firmware is awesome. I was even able to run the HTC Sense fix ok (didn't seem to work on 2.1) and it fixed all the sense issues perfectly.
So overall my Wildfire is running great finally on 2.2 and I have the benefits of moving apps to SDCARD etc and root...I'm well chuffed!
This is the ROM I used:
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed
Fingers crossed I don't come across any new issues...
This forum is awesome - thanks so much for the advice given on here So much more technical knowledge on here than T-Mobile have!!
Okay, so I decided to spend my weekend solving my girlfriends HTC Desire problems. It was basically 2 things that were bothering her - lack of space to install apps and fluctuating carrier signal.
The first one was easy - I was able to root her T-Mobile (Germany) branded Desire with unrevoked and did the whole ext partitioning thing, etc. etc.
Our second problem however persisted - gsm signal from her phone will randomly completely vanish causing her to miss calls, sms, etc... unfortunately - this happens quite often. The weird thing is that she can initiate the call herself and then the signal will return for a few minutes, but vanish again afterward.
Its not her SIM or the carrier - I tried it in my phone and it works fine and my SIM in her phone also experiences the same problems.
I tried installing different latest ROMs like GingerVillan, SuperNova, Sandvold's ICS BETA, etc. It doesn't help whether its 2.2, 2.3 or 4.0.3. Yes, with full wipes in between.
Her Radio was 5.11.05.27 and I tried updating it to 5.17.05.23 - but no change. Still the same problem.
I was also playing with the phone menus accessed by *#*#4636#*#* trying to set my network to GSM only. This also didn't give a permanent solution.
Any ideas what else I could try? Different older Radios? Would messing with RILs help?
Should I try flashing the complete RUU package? Which one? I'm still S-ON... I'm not really sure what else I could try - kernel changes with ROMs anyway. Would changing the Hboot make any difference at all in that department - its probably the only thing that stays the same (0.93.0001) but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with cell signal?
Pls help - any ideas? I find it difficult to believe it could be a hardware problem - because again if she initiates the call then the signal comes back. But if somebody calls her she might be unreachable and it goes straight to voicemail. Sometimes.
Hey guys, I'm new to this rooting business. Just managed to pluck up the courage to root my desire HD after 3 months of researching.
It was Orange Branded and had been up to date with firmware.
I used AAHK to downgrade and S-OFF.
At this stage, eveything was perfect, the sim unlock worked and mobile + wifi reception were absolutely fine just like before it was rooted.
I then flashed Leedroid 5.1, including the patch to regain the mobile network signal.
Since then, my wifi signal has totally shot down. Even if I am a couple of feet away, it drops to nothing, and when I am closer, it seems to not hold any strength. I have flashed the lastest radio _12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28 and corresponding RIL but it makes no difference.
The mobile signal is brilliant, but I can no longer usse my WIFI round my house, letalone the adjacent room. I can't even pick up my neighbours routers, which my phone was easily capable of doing before I put Leedroid 5.1 on my phone.
I have searched for hours and hours on these boards, google and Leedroids thread, but I couldn't find any answers.
I love the ROM, but I feel like I will have to revert to a stock rom.
Now, sorry if the answers obvious, but I want to make sure it's possible.
Can I revert back to a non customised version of sense/gingerbread without affecting the sim unlock on my phone? I don't mind if I lose root, as the use of WIFI on my phone is extrmely important, and I only really wanted to root my phone to sim unlock it. Will i need to S-On?
Will I have to mess around with the radio's again if I revert back to stock firmware as I had changed them for Leedroid 5.1? (would it be possible to revert to unbranded firmware rather than the Orange firmware that was originally on my phone?)
And if the above is possible, where can I find the original rom, and can I use ROM Manager to install it?
Just an update. I just unrooted my phone to an unbranded WWE gingerbread rom using AAHK. It didn't make a difference to the WIFI signal problem as it was still weak....
Then I noticed the battery cover was not fully clicked in on one end... As soon as I clicked it in, WIFI strength shot up to full bars!
I just can't believe I unrooted my phone over something so simple after only having rooted it for one day
Ah well. Atleast I got rid of the Orange bloatware and unlocked the phone
So just a lesson guys, make sure the battery cover is fully clicked in if you're having WIFI signal issues.
