[Q] Best Gingerbread rom?

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]

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

[Q] Sense or no sense?

Basically I'd like to be persuaded as to whether to use a sense rom (e.g ARHD) or a nosense rom (e.g CM7). And if I use CM7 can I install the HTC dialer and messaging app?
--
Previously I was using ARHD (sense) and go launcher, and I've just updated to the new ARHD with sense 3. As much as I like it, it's not quite as minimalist as I liked with go launcher and my battery life is not as good (sense is a battery hod, no denying).
I'm tempted to go the other way; CM7 with no sense features. What are the advantages of this? Why do some people prefer no sense?
Can I install the sense APKs of the apps I like? The htc dialer is great, as is the messaging/

I can't answer all your questions however I recently went from RCMix3d 1.4 runny to CM7 and I'm loving the change. The battery life is excellent and it makes me wonder why I was using sense in the first place.
I don't even miss it that much, apart from the odd thing. I'll take longer battery life over flashy show off animations any day

No, the HTC apps won't run without the Sense framework.
Beyond that, I'm not going to persuade you with way; the only way to decide is to backup, flash cm7 and see which one you prefer.

I suggest giving MIUI a try. It is basedd om CM7,has great features and is very easy to customise!

Definately take a look at MIUI as well Its an AOSP rom like CM7 but with some very nice additions. If you like to try out different themes and lots of personalization options MIUI is definately the way to go.
But in the end both ways (sense or no sense) have their advantages. What i dont like about sense is that its so bloated up with stuff you rarely ever use. You can cleane some of it with scripts like rom cleaner but still we're talking 350mb rom (sense) vs 80-90mb rom (CM7 or MIUI).
On the other hand with sense you get one good looking theme and good to very good apps for all the features of your phone. On CM7 you might need to find another app to play music via DLNA for example and another app for weather and so on.

sense and see how you feel if you dont like then go for no sense .....simple really
im with sense atm and feel that it is good

you could try the better of both worlds by flashing DeDense from this thread

Try Helios 0913 for a CM7 rom if you're gonna try one. It'll make you not wanna go back. These forums are crowded with sense roms that look exactly the same and offer nothing different, except some visual stuff, than the other 20 or so sense roms that are here. A good AOSP rom is hard to find on HTC phones now. Like I said though, try Helios or better yet, Hydrogenmod and you'll forget all about sense.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

I love Helios too but, more broadly, I went the way of CM7-based ROMs in general + Lord Clockan's amazing kernels and never looked back.
I never enjoyed such a snappy and responsive device when I was on Sense-based ROMs. Ditto battery life. I'm a massive CyanogenMod fanboy now, and will be flashing Nightlies (which are in a very good condition ATM) until Richfish updates Helios.
People on Sense ROMs have good things to report too, though, so my suggestion (which you've probably already heard a million times) is to try stuff out for yourself.

No one will be able to tell you what you would prefer. Test out a CM rom and a sense rom. Make your own mind up.

Need advice from Desire HD users!!

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
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App

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!)

Whats your favourite ROM!?

Hello guys.
The title says everything.
So.. my personal favourite is sebastian's Runny rom. Pretty smooth and fast for me
And, I have tried MIUI and CM7.
Dont really like MIUI's UI, plus CM7 looks pretty ugly to me.
Sense roms are still the best aren't they?
Sense widgets are pretty useful too!
What about your favourite roms?

Oh no, another thread which will turn into Runnymede gospels
For me anything based on Sense 1.9 will do, although I prefer Neophyte's work.

Well, I think AOSP, but Sense looks nice xD

got to be the supernova ROM from droidzone and Sibere

My favourite ROM would be the one which would hide these idiotic and useless threads.

Supernova ROM from droidzone

Definitely Leedroid 3.3.3r5, I used to flash different ones but I kept going back to leedroid, its the most stable and responsive rom, I use it with newest snq kernel and recommended radio. Its power hungry though but it doesnt put me off as long as battery lasts for more than a day with HSDPA mode on.

Till now its silky rom, very fast with al lot of apps not installed, i like that. But i will try Runnymede soon.. many people recommended it so yeah...

After the Gingerbread syndrome* I'd say it is a reason against. You decide if that is the bunch to be followed.
*The Gingerbread syndrome is severe brain trauma caused by smashing your head against your desk because Desire never received an official update.

My favourite would be Oxygen.
I like the look of AOSP (sense looks cool too though) and absolutely love its performance. This plus great compatibility and constant updates makes it my rom of choice.

Agree! Sense ROMs are cool. I really like LeeDroid ROM. Coming in a close second is RCMixHD.

My experiences with different ROMs
Hi all,
here's my experiences with different ROM's and finally my #1 ROM at the moment.
I have flashed ROMs for 3 months (so I haven't tried all of them).
I am using Desire Bravo with CM7/r2 with latest radio (32.56)
My first experience from a stock ROM was Insertcoins 1.1.2 and it was AWESOME.
Then I flashed a Honeycomb themed mod of Insertcoins ROM, since I loved it very much. However I started experiencing random freezes and crashes.
At this point first Sence 3.5 ports were out and I flashed Blissymedes ROM (v1)(kerraris version of it). It was even more awesome since it was Sence 3.5 and had all the nifty little features that one would miss in Sence 2.1. This however started to act quite unstable within a week or so.
By that time Runnymedes ROM (v1) was out so I gave it a try. Again, after a week or so stability was gone and soft reboots weren't too often.
By this point I got over my "fear" for other-than-sence ROMs and I flashed MIUI
At first it seemed awkward and a bit ugly, but since it has a lot of theming possibilities, I managed to get it to my liking. And boy this was smooth compared to any Sence ROM. Such responsiveness..
I had no problems running it and I liked it but I wanted to try another ROM that has scored high user ratings- Cyanogenmod.
So I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1. It was okay, nothing really special and I really don't like the default AOSP looks, so I flashed MIUI back and am happily using it ever since.
Only thing I really miss, is Sence's calendar and mail widgets. Clock is nice also. No substitute widget has come close to Sences widgets but I belive that in time we will see even nicer widgets for non-sence ROMs.
I am aware that most soft reboots and freezes might be caused by bad kernel, overclocking etc and not the ROM itself, but many ROMs come with suggested kernels and have pre-set OC daemon.
Hope this sheds some light for some of you

Aosp all the way

Not sure, have tried a lot. Right now I'm on MildWild 1.5 based on Oxygen. Nice and smooth.

There are three ROMs that I really really love(d):
- Robociks expresso sense ROM. I really do miss this one. Fast, stable and beautiful.
- Coolexes AceS port. Also pretty fast, stable and great battery life.
- My current ROM: Runnymede port by seb

No matter what I try always coming back to Oxygen.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I prefer Sense ROMs too..

Runnymede AIO V2.2 Cm7r2 AD2SDX by Seb but with the Blue Glass Runny Edition v4.0 Theme that I am using just now
Prior to that I would have to say Leedroid roms are very stable & very well put together I used them for over a year with only the power drain as a concern

Cyanogenmod 7 for me. But I get tired of roms easy and have to try something else.

oops my bad thought i was in the forum >.<

Mods move this please

Whichever you choose, you won't be satisfied.lol

i offer to you install the revelotion roms ...

satiRM further
it really depends on what you want. lets say you want stock looking android GB so in that case your choice should "Android Revolution HD" 6.X.X I was personally using this rom for a while never had a single problem with it also battery life was very good. and also you might consider Cyanogen MOD 7.2 also GB rom with no HTC sense thats up to you Cyanogen is smooth and never had problems with it but ADW launcher which is used in Cyanogen is not that stable peace of software you would like it to be... anyway I think any GB based custom roms should be stable smooth and bugless... and its not that hard to try several custom roms and then choose your best...
now talking about ICS thats a bit different story there are lots to choose from and almost every ICS cutom rom states that its fully working but in reality I never found ICS rom which is really FULLY WORKING I would call them "almost fully working" because you can found small maybe not that important but still some glitches... Some camera effects may not work, some parts of HTC sense might be little bit buggy but of course nothing serious...
i did tried "blackout", "trickdroid", "sabsa prime" all of them was fine to use daily had some small glitches I mentioned before but no big problems keep in mind that memory "RAM" usage is a lot higher with ICS keep in mind if you multitasking alot but shouldn't be a big problem... actually tried to "break" my phone with intense usage like, listening to music, skyping, browsing web, runing games at the time, installing app from market but phone seemed able to handle all that just fine and thats good
and every ICS rom I tried had one annoying thing there was no "facebook for htc sense" so you must use that crappy facebook app to get your friend profiles synced... that really suck...
and you have an option to use "jellybean" i did tried "jellyTime" r16 had no problems with it but as much as I read about others expierence I would not consider "JT" to be stable and good choise for a new user who just wants to be sure his phone runs flawless...
I'm at moment using "sabsa prime 6.5" stayed with it because it was last rom I tried lol
sorry for my bad english

Now I need to figure out if I like sense or not I guess. thus far Jelly Bean has been my favorite on my play despite the fact that like half the stuff doesn't work >.< So we'll see...
Thx for all the places to start.

Sabsa prime best

Have you ever try CodefireX? The best ever!

iam using Cosmic Sandwich V2 after tersting Trickdroid and JellyTime. IMO its a solid experience for those who like a snappy UI (Miui) and some of the Sense goodies.

In my opinion, skip ICS and go to Jelly Bean. Google Now, some other fun things, you'll be glad you did.
Pick a flavor (there's many options these days). I'd go with CM10 - either codefireX or Jellytime with the KangBang-Kernel v0.1 (separate thread by synergye in the dev forum)

Try coredroid multy device sense 3.5 is the best rom everything works fine even the wifi ,camera are brilliant all rom is great

There appear to be a couple of ICS/sense roms on the forum for the DHD. Most appear to have bugs and issues for one reason or other. Is there a fairly stable ICS with sense rom good for every day use?

I've been loving JellyTime R19. Been up for days without any issues. It has been exceptional.

I have flashed quite a few roms till now and have had mixed experience. Among the ICS roms, I found Trickdroid, Blackout and Nik Project X to be the best. I loved all three of them and currently using Trickdroid. I did not try too many JB roms but like Jelly time.

If you are looking for a stable ROM I would recommend CyanogenMod 7 - it runs GB.
If you want to experiment and don't mind some quirks then I would say JellyTime - it runs JB.
I started on CM7 when I first got my HTC, tried LeeDroid, another one I don't remember, back to CM7 and most recently through several revisions of JellyTime.
Of course YMMV, if you ask 10 people you will get 10 different answers. So you just have to experiment - that's the reason I went through all those different ROMs. I found that I like the CM mods (JT is based on CM10).
