best Android 2.3 + Sense Rom

Hello guys,
I can't decide which Android 2.3 + Sense Rom I should flash on my DHD.
there are the following Roms to choose:
- LeeDroid HD 2.3.4 beta 3
- CoreDroid V4
- Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 1
- VillainRom 2.0.1
- RCMix HD 4.2
Which Rom did you choose and why did you choose it ???
Thanks very much

VillainROM because Nathan, the maker of it, made also many very excellent ROMs for the HTC Hero and so I trust him that he'll also make good ROMs for Desire HD.

i had leedroid 2.2 and it worked fine. then i wiped my phone and installed leedroid 2.3, but only part of sense showed up on my phone! really weird. then i flased RCmix 2.3 and it works brilliant!

you mean RCMix HD 4.2, right ??

If you MUST use Sense (I dont know why...) The Beta ARHD 4.0 is your best bet. Its a good experience so far.
That said, I am a CM7 User, and I hate Sense, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I had the same question some time ago and it's often a thing of personal decision. So you probably will have to try for yourself. All the ROMs have good performance.
I'm using Revo HD because it looks like stock but with nice tweaks.

Only reason that I use sense is because I like some of the Sense apps(Dialer and messaging mainly)

I'd Choose either of Revolution or Leedroid , both are gr8 roms, the others listed Tbh i havent flashed those on my DHD so can't really give my opinion on those tilli try em out. i've used leedroid since v.1.5 and its been my personal fave one to use daily.

Actually I am concerned about the daily usability of the different builds and if it's worth to jump to gingerbread seen the source is a leaked build probably in very early stage. I would like to try it but I feel so confortable with AR3 ... Please someone tell me I would not regret it

You could always back up your rom before flashing ?

I would obviously do it, but I am so lazy that was wondering if this rom is worth it ... I promise I'll do my homeworks and let you know here if it is

Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 1 without a doubt.
Beta 2 out tomorrow so maybe you should wait for that one to flash.

Any idea what time beta 2 is being released?? Im looking forward to going to Gingerbread but am completely reliant on my phone for work and dont have a spare so want it to be as stable and have everything working before i take the plunge!! Also does anyone know if the GB roms can be overclocked yet and which radio should be used??
Thanks in advance!!

Nevermind, just checked and Beta 2 is OUT NOW!!!!

I am using leedroid 2.3.4 beta 4 r2. The reason i'm running this is that i have used his leedroid vesion on my phone since i bought it, and that he is very quick with updates and fixes. Also lee's rom is always lightning fast!

MIUI isnt that fast these days..

Try SGBS rom (v1.7) have sense and is very fast and stable.
Sent from my HTC Desire

Better wait for the official 2.3. I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 Stable, but there is issue with call delay and mobile data connection problem. Now I am waiting for 2.3 official

I am running Insertcoin from around last 2 months and frankly speaking i never had any issues with the ROM. U can give it a try. U can get the rom from my signature.
Note: I never use HD recording or Playback on mobile, so i have never tested these functionality.

Yes, InsertCoin stable 1.0.8 seems to be bug free.
I used it also since about 2 months.

RCMix S v. 2.0.1 snm.

Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070&highlight=Recent+Apps easy to install.

For me AcesMod007 v24
Tried all roms but this one stands to be most stable and fast...
Leedroid is good too but battery hog.
Insertcoin is not bad but slow compared to acemod007.

From my personal experience I can highly recommend oxygen. It's a very clean and stable rom and I get a great battery life. Before using oxygen I tried leedroid, rcmix s, miui and redux. They are all nice and fast, but I really like the cleanness of oxygen and redux. I would have stayed with redux, but the developer did not have any time for further development for nearly two months, so I changed to oxygen. But I cannot see a big difference between redux and oxygen.

Ive tried loads, but an issue that kept recurring was depletion of internal memory. Therefore for the desire in my opinion the best roms are ones that allow data2ext or data2we which tricks your phone into thinking it has the internal memory limit you choose. I like gingerburst, a sense Rom since the whole thing is easy to set up and is stable. Just Google it and follow the instructions on the site
Cyanogen 7.0.3 works with the data2we. zip. If you don't like HTC sense, and is my close second Fave Rom

Best Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM?

Hey Guys,
I'm thinking of switching ROMs, Currently running RcMix S - Just wondering which is the best sense 3.0/3.5 ROM which works with minimum bugs and is smooth/fluid !
Apart from that I'm just wondering if it they are fine for a everyday ROM yet?
I'm seriously thinking of Aurora v3 as the video on the post does show it is quite smooth.
Other information :
Desire running Stock HBOOT, 8GB memory card with a EXT4 partition.
Thanks a lot guys

There are so many topics about this, you can check that out, many recommendation... for everyday I won't recommend any 3.5 ROM

Really you should just read the relevant threads in the dev section. Coolexe, MichaelM and Chaqmol have all recently released newer Sense ROM's.
All have their bugs and issues but you'll never find out unless you do your research. There's no quick answer.
People will say "use Aurora" or "use Cool3D AceS v4" but all have issues in one way or another.

I searched the forum before making a new topic but wasn't able to find anything.
I did read, got a bit confused I mean come on look at the amount of roms there lol,
I wanted to know what the general user thought about it - I understand that there are bugs but till what extent is it usable as a daily ROM and how many actually what exactly is their experience.

I'll be sure to check that out , thanks

You can find coolex new roms on cooldevs dot com he doesn't updated his post and it's hard to find the new rom.

for 3.0/3.5 I'd say Cool3D AceS 3.0
I tried Runnymede 3.5 from Coolexe but it was a bit sluggish - needs a few more versions I think before its as good as AceS

For Sense 3 Rom I would say Cool3D AceS v4 is one of those you can try. But you will have to get it in www.cooldevs.com as he has not updated his post.

Bang on! had cool3D sense before but the aurora V3 is TASTY!....Just seen V4 is out

Right now i'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299554 v2 and it's smooth

I'm using michealm's AceSmod007 3d, it's fast and stable. The original kernel may be abit slow, can try gingercakes 8.0b cfs no2way or 0.6d. Some say snq kernel is smoothest but I have yet to try that. I saw the aurora video, AceSmod007 3d is much smoother than that

Try Aurora, is really fast n stable...

Aurora v4 is the best one out now.

I very highly recommend using the Android Revolution HD ROMs. I will never go back to a different ROM after using the ARHD ROMs, they're so smooth and fast I was shocked. Check out the thread and choose the best one for you.

My mistake, I misread :/ for the HTC Desire (not HD), I have heard the Aurora V04 is outstanding! It is a 3.0 Sense ROM

[Q] Latest ROM can I use? - HTC Desire Z A7272

Good afternoon,
What's the latest ROM I can use on my HTC Desire Z A7272?
If there are a few to choose from, which is best?
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor

What's wrong with its sense?

Try a few ROMs and see what is best for you. Everyone will have different ideas about the "best" ROM.

although sense ROMs look cool... AOSP (ROMs without sense) are fast, elegant, stable ROMs for performance... but aren't that pretty when you look at them

belongs to what sense you want 2.1 / 3.0 or 3.5 ?
2.1 i would recommend virtuous sense 2.0
3.0 ...virtuous unity
3.5 ...beatmod bliss sense or virtuous affinity, also rcmix is very good (went back to affinity cause of the light brightness)
...if you install a sense rom (specially 3.0 or 3.5) i would suggest to apply some tweaks: enable swap (swap partition or swapper2), change your system partition to ext4 (using 4ext recovery) and have a look at the supercharger thread (because multitasking is a bit laggy due to low memory)

I suggest you use G2-Slim. This is without sense but has launcher pro as the stock launcher. It also has cool animations if you upgrade to the launcher pro plus edition you also get the (almost identical) sense widgets for people, friends hub, twitter, facebook, message, etc.
The G2-Slim ROM is extremely fast in comparison with other ROMS. Everyone will advise something else to use but it's yours to decide. So take a week flashing and get the best out of it.
I highly suggest you try at least:
-G2-Slim
-Bulletproof MIUI
-Cyanogenmod
I'm not known with the newest sense ROMS atm as I tried a lot of them but in my opinion was the peformence to low and the sense based ROMS I tried had a lot bugs in it too.
So that's my advice and do with it what you want! GL .

you could try one of the shipped roms... careful remove S-OFF before you flash these

I actually used rom from RUU release (took rom.zip, renamed to PC10IMG and flashed) - you will loose root rights, but s-off is ok. And to make the phone rooted it takes few seconds ...

virtuous infinity rom V1.33.0 alpha 3

just flashed the "flashy" infinity rom from virtuous on my G2. The thing is it's incredibly slow,the screen keeps flashing, at first i thought it will end very soon but it goes on and on. i am a noob but i think a good kernel will help question is which one pls i need help cos i realy love the rom if it could just work smoothly for me ..................any one......

Post REMOVED

You can't change that Kernel its needed for some hardware on the phone to work use a Sense 4.0A ROM if you want sense 4.0

Goodluck

I thought that Sens is good when purchased my phone. Then it updated to 2.3, then I rooted it and got 3.0 with Virtuous Affinity and I still thought that I need Sense on my phone. It's only when I got fed up with all the lags I installed Mimicry. It was like a breath of fresh air. Everything suddenly was all smooth and lag free.
Make a backup, give it a try. If you won't like it - just restore.

Partially agree, but since I tried GenY, I don't have any complaints about speed and still have Sense. I was using Mimicry and have to say it's best AOSP ROM, but lack of mms and sending contacts by SMS forced me to go back for Sense rom. And only 1 is good is GenY.
