Which froyo sense ROM do you use?

I know, such a question is asked every day but since the froyo OTA was released many roms changed completly and many new roms were created, too.
Unfortunally I dont have the time to test all of them, so I just wanted to ask for your suggestions
Which froyo-sense-rom do you use and is it worth flashing?

I have to say that I really haven't used any other custom ROM, but I've stuck with LeeDroid too. I'm currently using 1.6a as it has been perfectly stable with lots of nice apps not included in other ROM's. I love it also because it's updated almost daily. I'm still using 1.6a since 1.7 is based on the official HTC Froyo ROM and it's not as stable yet. I'm waiting until it's as flawless as 1.6a and upgrading then

on stock froyo 2.2 rooted (hboot .80) cause I can't be flashing custom roms for fixes daily. Need a stable (doesn't have be super speedy) rom with froyo and rooted for everyday use!

Exactly the same for me atm - would like to have a daily useable rom which is built from the ota. Maybe I will give 1.7b a try

From the beginning I've only wanted root access with the stock HTC ROMs as my daily use. I rarely flash additions and whatever I do is for long term use. I don't have time for problems and fussing around with new variables, bugs and shortcomings. Stock MFG ROM releases generally have excellency in stability, consistency, integrity and reliability which is exactly what I'm after. So I'm using the rooted HTC 2.2 ROM. Every mod or hack I needed is working on it. Battery life is still excellent. I couldn't be happier.

im using nextsence, i usually prefer stock roms over custom roms but this one is sweet, its like the stock rom but with a cool theme

I'm currently using the LeeDroid 1.7 Froyo ROM. Its working a treat for me at the moment, not crashes or stability issues, my only concern is that when having to reflash ROM's all the time that I will keep losing my apps. Though i'm told this is not the case if you use A2SD/A2SD+

I tried flashing 1.7b, but got no APN and couldnt add them manually. So i switched back to 1.6a

I used to have CM on my g1 too for long time...
I really love the sense widgets - and I can't find good replacements for them in the market

Only one choice imo if you want a stable & fast Froyo Sense. Neophyte 1.6.
Seriously - I've tried nearly every Rom including LeeDroid and this one is so much better than all of them.

atm I'm using Leedroid 1.8.
Really stable Rom - didnt see any bugs yet...

First time using custom rom

Using oxygen atm. LOVING it lol. A few things I'm sure will be fixed next update but its so much better than stock. Any other roms recommended to try? I got the custom rom f
ever! =]

I like CyanogenMod 7.

I guess it's just as stabe as Oxygen.
And as far as I have read there will be no more updates for Oxygen before the OTA is out.
I have to say I haven't tried Oxygen, but I think they use the same source ?
Anyway rooting my Desire and putting on a custom rom is the best decision I have done for my phone. I have topped it off by putting on the CM7 Hboot, giving me lots of space for apps on the phone.

AFAIK Oxygen is maintened by AdamG.
Adam worked on OpenDesire earlier.

Yes maintained by AdamG, but the source is still the AOSP from Google.
And CM 7 uses that also.
They each have their own additions to the code, but I guess the core is the same.

I've also flashed Oxygen ROM first and than after sometime later MIUI-Au.
In terms of customization (UI, themes, options,etc.) and details, I can say that MIUI wins..
I'm glad I rooted my Desire since I don't have internal memory space issues anymore, only thing that maybe bothers me since I rooted my phone is that battery drains up quicker than with Sense.. maybe I'm wrong..

Redux RC6 - stable and fast. Im running it with the coutts .38 kernel and it's smooth....

There's always a bug somewhere for me and it is very annoying (no matter what ROM I use). So, I'm back to a stock Froyo (even though it is not my favourite!)

I did the same. i mean why to use a custom rom if you can't use your phone at 100% ( for example use camera or radio). ok you get more space, so what?
i have to confess i liked seeing my desire on gingerbread and if i find a close to custom full working rom i ll flash it again.

[Q] Most stable 'stock-like' rom

Hey guys
I'm flashing my mom's Desire (she has no need for any extra features above the desire's stock ones) so I'm wondering if you have any recomendations on a very stable and fast ROM?
I would have installed the stock desire rom, but since I rooted and s-offed the device already it seems a waste to lose it.
Thanks alot for your help
Oh and Sense is a must, she just learned how to use it, if i give her an AOSP rom she will have to learn to use it again...

USE THE SEARCH!!! This question was asked soo often.

Can't you install stock s-offed and rooted?

Why would you root it at all when she doesn't need any extra functions? Also, you choose wrong timing to do so with official Gingerbread release in the upcoming weeks.
But, if I was doing so, I'd flash AuraxTSense 8.4.

sorry to barge in but i was wondering the same question! i know whats the OP need, he bought a new phone and giving the Desire to his mom. am i right?
even if you are not, i just bought SGS2 today and giving my Desire to my mum. need recommendation too. the most stock look and can be stable and no performance decrease in a long run. cuz i am gonna be away from her when college opens, so i dont want the phone to have trouble.
S-offed, rooted, Cm7 r2 hboot. but i'll go back to stock hboot maybe.

Try SGBS ROM!!

2.10.405.2 INIT.D ROM v2.0
This version is mostly identical to the first except it has a minor mod to enable init.d scripts. No scripts are included, so this won't affect anything in itself. However, it gives much greater flexibility for mods, and is required if you want to make some of the changes below. This version of the ROM doesn't include the radio, so you must flash an up to date version yourself if you don't have one already. You do not have to install the first ROM before this. Updates: latest Superuser app and new boot image (closer to stock).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=404595&d=1284981062 <- A2SD+ highly recommended so that your mum doesn't run out of room after a week of using the phone because contacts, emails and other app data also eat internal storage. Hit me up if you don't know how to partition her SD card to have an EXT4 partition
Basically, if you just flash the first two download links in the quote, you'll have rooted ROM that is entirely stock. No extra features or anything that isn't in the HTC RUU. Then if you flash the powersaving mod, nothing changes featurewise but internally the phone will use less power and her battery will last longer. She won't need to do a thing. With A2SD+, all you need to do is go through installed apps every now and again and move them to the internal storage (as the phone is "tricked" into installing apps on the EXT4 partition instead of on the phone itself, which means more apps available to be installed but just as fast as normal).

Wait, it's S-OFF and rooted? Why not give RCMix S Evolutionary Sense v2.0 a go?

I've been using it personally since the end of May. No problems at all, just lacking updates (but the developer is busy withj real life, so that's that)
It's using the new Sensation and 2.3.3 Android version and, it's sense, and, it looks sexy.
EDIT:
Also, excuse my tutorial-like post above. If you can S-OFF and root the phone chances are you know half of that!

It was my phone for less than a week over the easter, rooted, s-offed installed rcmix v8 then I got myself my new Desire HD and been using that (sig).
For the Desire I installed RCMix's rom since i didn't mind any bugs, restarts and force closes since i thought i would update it on regular basis with the new versions. But as soon as I got my new phone, I left the country (student in uk) and just came back this week for holidays, and my mom has been complaining with reliability so I'm returning her phone to the most stable build of 'stock-like' rom.
If you mean flashing a RUU and then rooting and s-offing that just seems a bit of a waste of time. Since it's already rooted and s-offed i would like to keep it that way.

Read above and the official GB for desire is unknown time away from now, HTC if i recall corectly have loads of problems with the lack of memory and they still havent given a release date. So as far as I know GB might come in months.

I might give it a try but im using sense 3.0 on my DHD and even with the newer CPU and more memory and more frequent updates it still has a few glitches. I searched through the thread and it seems that the ROM still requires some bug fixes (ppl talking about bugs with headset and other small bits and bobs)
Thanks everyone for your replies, I will check out the rom's and see which one will suit her best!

No probs.
I'm using a D2EXT modded version and I don't have any problems with the headset. The v2.0 is pretty ironed out, 2.1 is where people seem to be having issues. But for your mum I guess the Twppic74 ROM would be best, definitely!
@theguybefore Eh, but they're all pretty clear that you need the Cyanogen hboot? I guess you're right!

That's old info. Latest news is that it passed QC and should be released in the next three weeks.
Forget 3.0 etc port stuff etc., you know you need rooted stock. She doesn't care for Sense 3.0 but cares if bluetooth doesn't work with handsfree.

Pretty sure bluetooth works ok with this ROM. It's hit and miss and dependant on hardware. The RCMixS ROM as I said has bee really ironed out. There's also the InsertCoin ROM which he's more up to date with advancements!
Hope you find the Teppic74 ROM well! Served me well for many months.

Superb ROM - Once I'd managed to install it (only recently acquired a Desire from a Hero upgrade) it's been excellent.
I can't find fault: Bluetooth (inc car kit), camera, video, iPlayer, GPS, Speed etc etc all running nice and smooth.
The only thing is that the arcade boot screen might not be to your Mom's liking - although boot time is good.

[Q]Differences androdomus vs quattro

Hi what are the main differences between androdomus ICS and virtous quattro ICS?
Which of these is better?

Yes there are differences.
Difficult to say wich one is the best, because there are not enought advanced to see.
Virtuous team add always a lot of tweaks and personalization, but there are still some graphical bugs witch are annoying...
At this day, I would advise you to go to A9 until...
Says someone on Quattro and witch LOOOOVES it . Where is the logic?

Quattro has a lot less passive update schedule as opposed to Andromadus. If you don't want to flash new versions all the time I'd suggest you stay away from Quattro.
In fact, you should stay away from ICS altogether till there's a final version and all the quirks have been figured out.

Can we hope for official version of ICS?
I have no problem to flash any update.
Which rom is more stable?

As far as I know, we have not yet been officially denied an upgrade to ICS, but it is probably not going to happen.
I'd say that both versions are equally stable (though I haven't tried andromadus v9 yet). However quattro is currently plagued with very annoying graphical glitches as far as the launcher is concerned. It doesn't seem to impact performance and can be fixed easily, but still.

As far as I know, we have not yet been officially denied an upgrade to ICS, but it is probably not going to happen.

Nevermid what a pity.
Maybe in the next quattro's version this issue with graphical glitches will be repaired...!Im waiting for it

You can install the RC now.
Upgrading just take 10 minutes and no wipe data needed (just dalvik cache).

And I wouldn't use htcdev to unlock your phone, use the Wiki for Htc Vision as your starting point, In addition to you voiding your warranty,the official unlocking seems problematic and you still cant' flash another radio.

ebreo: you should try both for yourself and decide. but a warning. if camera is of great importance to you then you should stay away from ICS for now. The camera is not great and very unreliable. Dont trust is to take pics of your childs first steps. But that is what you get when you deal with betas. At least there is a camera. And no matter what you should keep a working GB rom on your sd card. just incase ICS for fubar on your phone you can atleast flash a GB rom and have a working phone.

i would say i will go for Quattro, for its virtuos oc/uv, and other tweaks, i have tried rc1 and rc2 versions.

CM7/CM9/MIUI stable enough?????

Even though I been a long time user here, and even work in a phone shop myself, I have yet to use CM7/CM9 or MIUI on my wildfire S, I have used the mentioned roms on other phones, how to they run on our wildfire S's????
I like to use Link2SD too, and mostly use my phone for browsing (a lot), dont play many games, and text a lot, and the odd picture
so with the above bits in mind, I want something what is pretty stable, with virtually everything working, Im htcdev bootloader unlocked, and wildfire S locked to 3UK network..
Who can advise what of the three roms works best, and if so, what versions???
THANKS!!!

CM9 is in development, CM7 is stable for some, not all, you'll have to check that for yourself, and MIUI, I've yet to try, as it looks like crap to me (for something that claims minimalism, it sure is gaudy). If you're bootloader unlocked, root your phone, then flash a custom ROM (I'd recommend m1ndh4x8r's ROM or Hensemod, as they're the most stable and most well-polished of the bunch). I'm currently running on m1ndh4x8r with a custom kernel (DUST Kernel 9.0), because of a touchscreen bug.

im using the 03122012 cm7.2 from alquez and i can say its stable though i only use the phone for calling/messaging/games and internet. i havent tried gps yet. now im on cm9 04282012 from ben/modponk and i liked it a lot although got problems for me like (video recording not working, deep sleep battery drain problem and sometimes the sim card reboot thing).
ive tried several times flashing mindhaxer/einsteinsfrat's roms but i always ended up stucked up on the white htc boot screen.i think the problem is my phone not compatible with his roms at all

It's probably because you haven't partitioned your SD card (I'm guessing you haven't, since those ROMs wouldn't work for me either, till I partitioned my card with Clockworkmod Recovery (had to add a swap partition)).

Since I bought my WFS, using every ROM in the development thread... so many times I have to comeback to unofficial CM 7.2(Gingerbread 2.3.7).
This is the best ROM (in own opinion) currently. If video recording is so important to you, use Gingerbread 2.35, u have plenty of flavors in the development forum. Use them and select the one mean stable to you.
MIUI is something look very good but not in it's operation though
But really again you will find CM 7.2 is best out of them.
Sent from my Wildfire S using Tapatalk 2

Currently the most stable non-sense ROM is CM7. CM9 is on it's way and is close to completion (kind of). If you want a sense ROM then quite a lot of them are pretty stable.

what i really hate about cm7 is the adwlauncher. its so horribly glitchy slow. why would they keep that in cm7? cant they just change it to another one? wouldve been sweet if the default launcher that came from this roms development from dev isnt adw. launcherpro fits well on cm7. adwlauncherEX looks nice but from time to time, when you have widgets on homescreen, it tends to get glitchy.

i did partition my sd card with 1024 mb ext3 and 0 swap using cwm recovery. wiped all the caches and still got the same problem. is it because i put 0 swap on it? how much space did put on the partition and swap? thanks

CM9 is on a good way now, but still with some bugs (battery life, camera, force closing apps), current best non sense i've tried was cm7...its not as good as sense roms (for me). When CM9 will be released for our phones, i'll totally go for it!

CM7
I have trid all of theme i think the more ended and working is CM7.CM9 work not really good , and MIUI don't have live wallpaper and other think it is not finished .
ending : CM7 is the best

Just add swap, any amount will do if it's above 0. That's what worked for me

Check modpunk's CM9. It's an alpha release but looking really good.
Using it already, battery usage is the main problem now. But he said he fixed it already, we're waiting for his latest build which he promised to release today or tom.
