Best ROM right now for Desire?

I have tested 4-5 roms, and all have some problems.
What is the perfect ROM now? Not HD.

There is no perfect rom, there is only a rom you like best. Other people can tell you what they prefer but that does not have to apply to your preferences.
If you want to see what the most popular rom there is a poll some were in general.

did u try Leedroid?

It's all up to you. I'm using Oxygen 2.0 and I love it. It's missing the video camera function until the N1 OTA update but I have never used that anyways so I'm more than happy with it.

I personally use MIUI, brilliant rom but confusing updates, they realease new software all the time to its virtually bug free for me.
It has too many features to list, i find something new and by the time i found all the extras they release another update.
Try MIUI, its like a iphone but you can easily change the theme.
Battery life is somethin else and im using there stock kernel, 17 hours, sync on, wifi on, auto brightness (actually works) and mild to heavy use.

I'll try MIUI

Tried LeeDroid, MIUI, Oxygen (1.0 and 2.0), VillainROM, GinerVillain, SuperVillain, DeFrost, CM6, CM7, Ginger Redux, Amethyst. To be honest, I currently have CM7 installed but I am constantly changing ROMs anyway. CM7 to me actually works the best out of the Gingerbreads. I would say that if you want speed, stick with MIUI if you installed it since I got 2135 score in Quadrant (MIUI 1.1.12). But it is up to you. There is NEVER the "best" ROM.

i have tried about 10 different roms and i think insertcoin for hd is nice also leedroid is very good and fast

for me starburst, it is very stable, almost no issues at all. stock sense rom + the magnificent data2sd. i used to flash a rom once in a while, but now..im sticking to starburst. maybe its for a long time.

The op should be more specific in what he looks for, is it sense, non-sense or miui rom?
I find Sense ROMs more appealing than other two, and my favorites are Leedroid and AuraxTSense.
Leedroid is very fast, I used it for more than a month, but found that some memory leaks are happening to me and a few other users. It is a deal breaker for me at this time since the phone becomes unusable when it happens until rebooted, so I swinged back to AuraxTSense. It's performance is also admirable, it boots somewhat longer, but at this time it seems more reliable than the Leedroid. Both are equally fast and snappy in operation. Also snq's kernel has some quirks at this time, the phone rebooting itself when connected to a car cradle, screen turning on during charge being some of them for example.

CM7 Every Build till now has major issues at the moment (major for me for some none) as MMS and VPN don't work.
I am using the Redux-RC2.1 running gingerbread 2.3.2 in a very smooth way - highly recommended. VPN issue hasemt been solved yet but should be in the upcoming RC3 coming soon from the developer. MMS is not an issue and working great

Yes it works!

I've been using HiApk for a while now, loving it's speed. It's problem free so far.

Leedroid and AuraxTSense.

In my opinion there is a perfect rom.. Oxygenrom
It has a very fast and stable base, perfect power menu configuration
All functions like camera and gps work proper and rom feels really smooth

Depends on what appeals to you but personally, AurxTremeGinger or Reflex S do it for me.

Asking what the best rom is, is like asking what the best car is.

I found Redux v1.2 is a brilliant Rom Clean, fast and stable.
At the moment I test the InsertCoin v17 Rom and I found also it is a very nice Rom.

There is no perfect rom at the moment...
- Froyo sense roms are the most stable (Leedroid, Teppic's, AuraxTSense...) but they are not the fastest. (I think we can add HD/Z roms in this categorie)
- AOSP rom lack of some features like 720p, FM radio, HTC apps and widgets ; there is also this endless call delay bug. Despite that, they are the fastest roms at the moment and they can be very minimalist (and I'm sure a lot of people like minimalist roms like DevNull or Oxygen)
- MIUI is quite interesting but settings menu are so slow.
- New Sense roms begin to grow up, but I think the fact we are porting RUU from other devices to our Desires affects the quality of those roms.

[Q] Sandvold's ICS BETA RoM

Have anybody tried out the Sandvold's ICS BETA RoM? Considering to flash it, but would like to hear some comments about it first... would you reccomend it?

if its important that your phone works as planned i would advise you not to flash it
if u want to try out ics for fun and help finding bugs and stuff why not

I'm using it as my daily ROM. Besides the camera having no preview and keyboard lag I've found it to be pretty good. Great battery life. only had one crash in a week, but I'm willing to trade all that for running Chrome. That browser is fantastic!
I'd suggest that if you don't mind a phone crash on you, then that ROM is not for you.

At least the camera works. The camcorder not so much atm. But in overall, a fantastic rom. I haven't been this enthousiastic about a rom since InsertCoin. So there's that.

HWA is still buggy. For some users a lot of bugs.. BSOD (phone cant wake up - random).. battery drain, etc...
I had give try to sandvolds rom many times (from beginning, when almost nothing works). But as you can see I'm stuck with K900 build of AOKP.. No HWA (a bit laggy), but no random reboots, battery is OK, and everything is fine. I need stable rom/phone but I like ICS, so AOKP is only ROM which can offer that.
Feel free to try sandvolds / bcm9 and aokp, choose on your own judge. ;-)
edit: panorama and video recording doesn't work on k900 rom, but I don't really using camera on phone..

It's a great ROM!
I have been using it for months. Many updates since then, which comes continuously and at the right moments
Actually everything is fine for daily usage. But I'm a little bit sad about the contact sorting(( that's not very nice there, but taste choice. Also the design is a question of taste I guess

Just recently I switched to this ICS ROM from Gingerbread with HTC Sense. It is a great ROM and even though being in beta status it runs really smooth and stable. I specifically like the installation routine which provides several options (e.g. decide between Apex, Nova and Trebuchet launcher) While I don't miss Sense too much, I definitely miss PDroid! I might even go back to Android 2.3 for a while, until PDroid is finally ported to ICS!

If you want an extremely stable rom install InsertCoin 1.1.4
If you like new Sense and eyecandy flash my rom(Runny ROM)
If you like unstable but awesome features get ICS.

Works great for me
I've used sandvold ICS for few weeks now, first on 0.3.x line (stable but some applications didn't work without full HWA... such as Waze and of course Chrome).
One I sorted my sd-ext (re-partitioned) garbage, and flash 0.4.3 + 0.4.4.4.1 I'm very pleased. Stable (no BSOD with Miui kernel), fast enough with adequate battery life and Chrome... (prefer it much better than stock or dolphin).
I only miss Sense because now no contact merge suggestion pop-up comes and you need to join contacts one by one... A one time act...

Im using this ROM for every day use and for now its great, i like all cool features. Chrome browser is awsome. Didnt have any problems yet. Battery is very good for now.

Yeah, I love the Chrome Beta. It's surprisingly faster than Dolphin now, but it can very well because of the ICS that's bugging Dolphin. I say, if my PB G100 tablet would have ICS (I hope coming April), then I'd entirely switch to Chrome.

Ah, I didn't know the Linking was a part of Sense. That explains. Indeed, with this Sense-less ICS you have to link various contacts manually.

I did merging through GMail web interface from my laptop. Simple, easy to see and update necessary information. Automatic sync updates phone contacts in few minutes and I have no problem anymore.
My 2 cents

It is steadily improving, but still in Beta. So you need to be aware, that some things don't work as it should. Before installing you need to wipe to factory, and wipe dalvik and cache. The install walks you through some questions, but goes rather fast. In version Beta 0.5.1 you should try
1. Apex launcher
2. Stock a2sd
3. aGPS
4. tiamat kernel (don't use stock)
5. old camera (not completely functional)
After install, go to terminal
su
a2sd install
say yes to dalik-cache
say no to data (makes device laggy)

ROM getting really stable and mature
I've been using this ROM daily for than 2 months now. The last version (0.5.3) gets really stable (no more BSODs or reboots). It's nice to have ICS on a 2 years old phone.
Only known issue with the kernel: battery life not as good as with CM7 (Gingerbread).
My current config :
Hboot: Alpharev Bravo Stock S-OFF
Recovery: Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0
Radio: 5.11.05.27
Rom: Sandvold Beta 0.5.3, ICS 4.0.4
Stock launcher
Sd-ext: stock a2sd dalvik yes / data no
aGPS patch
Stock camera libs
Old dhcpcd
T9 dialer
Stock dictionary pack
Kernel: [email protected]
autobrightness patch (after install)

Should I upgrade my desire to ICS?

hi,
I have Leedroid 3.0.8.2 data ++. Phone (which is my main phone] is stable and Bluetooth works as expected.
What are the benefits, of any, to upgrade to ICS and is there a particular ROM you find sufficiently stable to recommend.
Thanks
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

If you are happy with your current rom then there may be no point in upgrading. Personally I prefer the interface and look / feel of ICS and can deal with the bugs that comes with it.
For desire currently the ICS roms are still a tad unstable this is due to incomplete hardware acceleration. The roms are ok for daily use if you can deal without video camera and quite a few graphical glitches. But the rom is still very usable.
If you are wanting to try an ICS rom, I suggest either sandvolds ICS or BCM.
At the end of the day I suggest taking a nandroid backup of your current rom. and trying out one of the ICS roms for a few hours. If you dont like it simply restore your old rom no harm done.
hope this helps.

If you want a stable rom, stick to what you are using right now or at least Gingerbread. ICS roms are in beta for Desire. No matter how many people here tells you it's all okay as a daily driver, if you can't afford the hassle of random reboots and all those little instability don't use it.
It will be a good weekend project to flash ICS roms just to see how it progresses though.

It's just an improved OS.Better functionality, better battery life and a slew of added features which are listed here.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/01/android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-review/
I too would suggest you to stick to your old one.

Given that my phone is modelled for Leedroid Data++ can I flash a new ROM for the weekend.

Sandvold's ICS is really worth trying in its current state.

You can flash Sandvolt's ICS with no problems (wipe all partitions, install rom 0.4.4.3, install 0.4.4.4.1 update). At it's current state 0.4.4.4.1 it is prety stable. I have it installed from yesterday and i can say that i had no problem. Ok, i have to admit, it is a little slower than a gingerbread stock rom but i think it is very usable.
If sandvolt keeps it like this in ~1month i think we will have an ICS that beats GB.
Anyway i think you need to see it. I recommend installing also thalamus kernel which is very stable.
Regards.

Stability is a binary matter. There is a 1 or there is a 0. There is no 1.5, hence there are no such things as pretty stable or partially stable.

Well, today i have used all of it's battery until now and i had no reboot or crash or anything that seemed like a problem.

I've been running ICS for a ~2 months, it (BCM RC2.2U5) works a treat . I've not missed Sense, and now the camera preview is fixed there isn't much missing.
It also feels faster than GB.
The video mode on the camera crashes the camera app but apart from that everything seems to work.
Overall like savagedonkey, I prefer the look/feel of ICS over GB with Sense (I was on LeeDroid 3.3. something) , however if you want to be sure there aren't any hiccups or problems stick with GB.
And there is always nandroid.

Have been using Sandvold's ICS ROM for about six weeks now and I can definitely recommend it. For me it's stable enough for daily use, camera preview (for photography) is working in the latest releases and with the latest release (0.4.5 dated 03/29) QR-code scanning is functioning also.
At the moment the only missing functionality (set aside eventual bugs) seems to be the video- and the panoramacamera.
Can't say how it performs compared to other ROM's. Haven't had reason to try others .

I have BCM RC2.2U5, but ineternet (mobile & wifi) response is too bad, very slow

I'm using BCM for over 2months and atm its really close to stable release.
There are some minor bugs, but its worth trying.

Fanboys forget to tell you ICS is much slower in its current state, than LeeDroid.
I use Sandvolds ICS atm, because I like the looks. It's not near stable.

Hi,
i come from Sandvolds ICS and I downgraded today to CM7.2, due to its unstableness. I got random BCODs and the browsers were terrible slow. Both crome and the stock browser.
Anyway, I guess the devs working hard on fixing the unstableness. Maybe in the near future im gonna switch back to ICS

It is not possible to simply say "I recommend Sandvolds ICS for you" or "I do not recommend".
First "rule": The rom is NOT stable. If you need your device for business use and need an always 100% stable ROM, then ICS is at the current state under no circumstances the right decision for you.
The ROM is in highly development, be aware of bugs and problems!
3 problems, that recently happend to me, there may be many more:
All contacts seemed to be gone, somehow the google sync was broken. A new login solved it for me.
Black Screen of Death (BSOD) occurs with some kernels: The phone freezes with screen off. Pulling out battery is the only solution.
My SD card could not be mounted on boot (not only missing data, but missing apps from a2sd as well). Reboot fixed it.
But if you have some spare time (following the development thread!) and if you don't complain with regularly ROM updates (including full wipes), you will be impressed, what ICS can make out of your phone!
ICS rocks.

BCM is very stable for me. Everything works fine including my browser and wifi. Only thing I don't like is I cant get mms to work but thats no biggy.

Best Android 4.0 ICS rom for Desire

As the title says, i´d like to know which one is the best ICS rom for you. The CM9,sandvolds or Nikez Lente ?
Edit: Sorry forgot to mention AOKP opinions on this rom also welcome

There's AOKP missing there. Not sure if they gonna burn you alive for creating this but anyway.

It depends. You should try all of them to find the best for your device and for your expectations
I tryed all of them and didn't find best one...
The most featured is AOKP, it has a lot of easy-to-use settings, great notification bar and very functional lockscreen, weather integration. But almost every day of usage I've got one sleep of death.
More stable ROM for my device is Chromium, but this ROM has not published on xda. Pity. Another thing about Chromium - I really miss all features of AOKP in the ROM. On mine Desire it works almost a week without BSOD or SOD.
Try, and you'll find what you need

Was on Sandvold's most of the way but 0.15 was bugged and slowing down too much
BCM never liked my phone for some reason

Nikez lente is the King.

I've used Sandvolds since 0.12 and it was very promissing (and still is). Unfortunately, the last two releases have known bugs (wifi, 3g, some apps do not work) ad the ROM has become much slower. So, I decided to try BCM, installed the latest version of and I'm nicely surprised. Everything works smoothly and quickly, no problems with wifi, 3g, bluetooth etc. I use it for a week and so far no problems.

Running BCM quite successfully, but with the same occasional radio crashes I had with cm7.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

For me it is Sandvolds or Elelinux.

I use for over a week Sanvold's 0.15. It's very good, except that every time i close the wifi the signal is off and needs to restart the phone. Hope this solved in the comming update . . .

Im using one of the Slim version. It is, so far, awesome.

I've treid Nikez Lente, CM9 and Sandvold recently. I have to say Sandvold seems the most polished and quick, maybe due to included V6 Supercharger. CM9 was the best in terms of added funcinallity, but I think itwas more laggy a slow than Lente or Sandvold. Lente is very good as well, very close to the original ICS, I prefer the Sandvold however.

Sandvolds ics rocks!

So is there a stable rom? (Stable meaning it will run 100h+ without reboot/SOD/whatever, no wifi/3g bugs, i don't care if OCing to 2.5GHZ doesn't work)
I don't know anything about the desire but my friend got one for himself because his iPhone was stolen. I myself own a Nexus S and i loved ICS, JB seems to be even better now I'm thinking if he doesn't like the feel of HTC Sense and Froyo/GB I might help him flash ICS if it's worth the trouble. Since he used to be an iPhone user he probably doesn't want to get dirt on his hands, so he won't be able to revert or flash something else and I don't want to have to switch ROMs for him every time he finds a bug.
BTW I spent about 1-2h reading the desire forum about flashing and stuff, it's really confusing I have to say, so if anybody could explain to me what hboot is and what the proper procedure is to flash a ROM i'd be very happy. I've only had phones with unlocked bootloaders so far so I know my way around CWM but that's about it...

Which room is everyone using?

Which rom are you using? What's your setup? Feedback? Reasons? Screenshots?
Development has slowed down a lot on our beloved G2, so it made me curious what everyone has decided to use as their daily roms.
I am using pyromod cm7. Looking to switch. I love Jellybean roms but my sipdroid calling cuts out too much on those roms. Sipdroid works perfectly on gingerbread however.

I stuck with Gen.Y VisionX R3 as it was the first one I installed and everything seems to work really well on it, and it's nice and quick. I didn't really feel like going CM as I like the Sense UI, and I always find that really simple things like calendar, contacts etc always have some sort of problem in the CM builds like the Facebook link to contacts breaking or the calendar randomly stopping syncing, but I do miss some of the extra customizability in the CM builds.

Im using blackice and it runs very well. Its 2.3.4, I love mimicry but for some reason it crashes my router. I personaly may try cm9 or the aokp rom.

I tried several ROM's but they would hang or reboot after running a day or two. Minicry even wouldn't start at all. TrickDroid is a nice Sence Rom, but it was very slow even using swap. Now I've switched to EliteMod & Kernel ICS and it runs fluently.
Unfortunately my beloved Dezire Z died last week.

Was using mimicry 1.5 for quite a time, but recently moved to Flinny's JB 4.2.2. Pretty much happy with it so far.

My DD is a fusion of gen y r3 and sense z lite. My kernel was based on virtous that I have re-configured for functionality. some of the rosie are was taken from desire x. bugs exist but nothing I cant handle and I dont intend to upload any of my work because some of it was taken from other devs work. When I started porting my rom I intended it for personal use only.

Currently I use ajhavery's Desire XZ 1.0 with APM mod (http://www.ajhavery.com/category/desire-xz/) and ckpv5's Tabbed Extended Quick Settings with battery percentage for myOnev 9.0 (here is his rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647052).
It is a very smooth Sense rom, the smoothest I think, just a pity that Rosie Lite can't get landscape mode.

I love tweaks and sense.
Venom ViperZ.
I tried almost all the recent roms, so far viperz is the most complete and stable one imo. With some tweaks, its fast as a fresh install of mimicry.
I ran mimicry for dd (4 months) before switching to viperz.

Flinny's CM10.1 ROMs. Once the phone gets going it runs pretty smooth for a two-year-old single-core phone.
