[Q] Best Rom for desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am getting a bit tired of the browser in the stock 2.2, my batterylife is almost non-existing, and I always have less than 10 mb space left of internal memory.
If I had the money, and galaxy nexus wasn't so ugly I would have changed my phone a long time ago.
So instead I am trying to figure out which Rom is the best for my carrier-free Desire.
I like HTC-sense, (yeah I know it's a battery hog), I won't give up essentials like GPS and camera, and if it could have the possibility of http proxy over WiFi, then I could use the WiFi at my school.
Of cause it has to run smoothly, so newer android versions might not be suitable.
Any suggestions to what might fit my needs?
[English is not my strong suit, so bare with me]

Have u rooted your phone and get S-off'd? If yes then follow me.
If u want to try out a Sense 3.0 ROM, choose Aurora v6.0. Its super fast and much more battery efficient with the included kernel.
If u want sense 3.5 ROM, try Runnymede AIO v6.5. Its also nice and fast. Also the rcmix tweaks do some nice treaks.
If u want something exceptional (with a sense experience and a bit of ICS taste), try Cool Ice Cream Sense. Its also super fast and a great ROM for day to day use.
These are all sense ROMs. If u prefer AOSP one's, the scenario will change drastically.

*sigh* Best brain for human?

I personally think that RSK has the best desire ROM. Its based on runnymede, but when I used runny mede I found it to be quite laggy. Granted I havent tried many ROMs but most people on the RSK thread who claim to have done so pretty much swear by this ROM.

plus, if you are having issues with your browser, you can just download another one. I personally love dolphin HD

Cool Ice is the fastest sense rom for the desire. And IMHO the best one.

Geee, I can't say.
Maybe these, these, these, these or these?
This one qualifies too. Though it is in domain of abstract thinking for most of the community here. To comprehend that one has to observe that the best and the smoothest is the one they are using at the time of posting, and none other.

I would agree with this list also. Not sure about Aurora V6 - was not as good as cools version or 007 but that's my opinion. For a 2.1+3.0 I would try Alex-V's ROM. Only trial and error will you know what is right for you.

Erklat and others who just hate threads like this and yet come to contribute to them in a non-helpful manner:
Why don't you just ignore these threads if you hate them so much????
Personally, if I just started with flashing on my Desire, I would LOVE to see what users who have tried most of the roms, think which rom is the best.
I am one of the long time "flashers" and it took a loooong time to come to a rom that feels just great.
Why would everybody have to go through all this?
My thoughts:
1) AOSP roms IMHO plain suck. You will NEVER be able to customize them the way HTC does it with sense, so why even bother? The ones who still want to bother will not ask such questions here. Yes they could be a bit faster but that's because these roms have nothing. You have to install everything and then your phone looks just like windows mobile 6. Every single thing looks and feels different...
2) Sense 3.x roms have weak multitasking and become laggy when you actually use the phone. Yes, at first one thinks they are fast, because sliding home screens and other rosy stuff seems fast. But then you try to sync with dropbox or something and someone calls you and it takes 10 seconds or more to answer the phone etc etc....
3) For our Desire Sense 1.9 roms are currently the best. But even with those, you have to choose which ones are the fastest/most stable.
After a looong time of trying various roms, my opinion is that Cool Ice is the cream of the Desire roms (the other two roms in my signature are a very close second place) It's VERY fast, it's as stable as it gets and it feels responsive even after 2 weeks of installing apps and power use.
Of course this it my personal opinion, but it's a valuable one. I get a LOT of private messages where people are thanking me for advice and are very happy.
So what exactly IS your problem with those kind of threads??? And why on earth do you keep posting in them???

On my Desire i've loaded ICS BCM 2.0U1
It works great ans smoothly

I've flitted between cyanogenmod 7, oxygen and playing with ics beta (0.4.1.5). Best bet is to try them and see which suits.
I was using oxygen because it doesn't have things I don't need. Trying ics beta because I like it, when it doesn't keep rebooting, which it hasn't for a day

this is so true, try the one that fits u best, there's so many posts saying which rom is best, there aint one, its personal preference, yes its good to see what other people use, but there's a thread on that already, i could tell joe blogs the rom i use is the best, but it might not be for joe blogs
in my opinion u have to try them see what u like, maybe search in the thread of a rom u like see what people say, those are the people that use it.
it makes no diff what rom me or anybody likes its personal choice, use the search button find out for urself

I don't agree.
One thing is if you want to experiment and toy with all the roms. The other thing is if you want to actually use your phone and need stability and responsiveness that is at least as good as the stock rom, which you came from.
If you want the latter, there are only a few roms available that suit the criteria (responsiveness + stability). And this is not a "personal" opinion, it's an objective one. I try to point such roms out.
If you think some other rom is better, do tell. I will nandroid my current rom and give it a spin (and probably go back to my current one in mere 30 minutes of "testing").

If you like to experiment and live with a possibly buggy rom most of the time, then yes.
If you just do not want to waste time experimenting, then no.
And the poster of this question falls definitely into the latter category. So I try to help them.
I think I've said it all, so for me, this debate is over.

When you read my previous post with understanding, then you'll maybe catch a grasp of it. I post merely out of phun lately. I don't entertain myself with trying to spoon feed idiots a few times a day to gain a few cheap thanks. Am I aware that this place degraded to the end of the universe and further in the last year? Yes I am and I don't hope to change that as long as number of loonies who opened 120 threads grow. But that won't stop me to have fun while I'm at it.
EDIT: Very interesting.

New User, just wondering about the best ROM with everything working

Hello,
I am a new user and can someone tell me the steps I should follow.
I haven't rooted the device or anything yet, and I was also wondering what the best ROM for the EVO was... It has to have full functionality and be faster than the stock ROM. Can someone tell me what fits the category?
Thanks

Thats an opinion based question. I think CM is best, but it doesnt have working WiMax or HDMI. You're gonna want a sense based rom, as those do have working 4g/HDMI. Try some of the more popular ones until you find one that you like.
This kinda question is better asked in Q/A or General.

gokuman,
You probably won't get many replies to this thread, as your questions are very open ended, and also this probably isn't the best place to ask. You really need to post these kind of questions in the Evo Q&A forum. With that said, since you're new, I'll try to help.
First off, you need to root your device. There are multiple posts on this topic depending on what version of the Evo you have - the new ones use a different method than the older ones.
As far as ROM's go, there are two flavors - AOSP and Sense. AOSP is the original "Android as Google intended it" with no skins, tweaks, etc. It's very fast, very stable and completely open-source (if you've ever used or seen a Nexus One, this runs stock AOSP android). The downside is that AOSP (at this time) does not support 4G, so if you live in a 4G area, bear this in mind.
Of the AOSP ROMs there are two that stand out: Cyanogen Mod 6.1 (known as CM 6.1) and MIUI. Both are excellent, although I prefer CM 6.1.
Sense ROM's are very similar to to the software that came on your phone. There are multiple options available, although my two personal favorites are Azrael X 2.1 and Sprint Lovers ROM. No disrespect to anyone else, but these are the ones that have worked best for me... With that said, do your research and try a few to make your own conclusions. Most importantly, once you've done some experimenting, post back and let us know your findings.
Thanks,
Matt_TX

What hboot version did it ship with? That currently dictates your rooting options.
Turn your phone off. Then turn back on holding pwr+vol down. Hboot will be listed.
If you have 2.02 see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
Otherwise see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787304
Whatever method you choose be patient, make sure you read the whole post a few times through before you root, and follow the directions exactly. Do that and you will be up and running quick.
Definately in the wrong section, but the best answer is there is no best Rom.
There are best roms for different people. Roms are like cars, there is a different rom for each person. And even then who two people set up the same rom will be so different it's not even funny, because within each rom are options, just like in a car.
I've used Cyanogen and Myn's mainly myself. No suprise, those are both also the most visited and posted in threads int he development section. They are kind of like the Chevy and Ford of the Roms.
Cyanogen is AOSP without sense, and no working 4g/hdmi as stated.
Myn's is a heavily themed sense based rom with everything working, it's very visually appealing, and yet smooth and snappy.
The third Rom I'd quickly mention would be MIUI, if you wanted an Iphone but cant have one, that rom is for you, it is probably the most dev intensive rom of all. It's made by Chinese devs, but the shear amount of detail put into it is breathtaking, they have re organized all the menus and visuals of the rom, but the crazy thing is, they didn't stop there, if you load a new app on it from the market, it actually will change the menus within that app to their system(one that looks very much like an Iphone) I recommend everyone try that rom at least once, It wasn't for me, but it doesn't mean that the attention to detail, and extensiveness of the UI they put in it did not impress me to no ends.
The amount of good roms out there is crazy though, Azrael, Sprint Lovers, Fresh, Evio, Calkulin's... the list just goes on and on, so try a bunch and find one you like, just like buying a car.
stick with the best ignore the rest...MYNS WARM 2.2 RLS4 but just try diff kernels and see what works best! njoy
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I was an avid CM fan when I had my first EVO, then it got stolen, and by the time I had bought another one, MIUI came out. So I figured I'd try it since it's still AOSP and I've been using it ever since. It just streamlines things so well for you, and running off of their stock kernel it's the snappiest ROM I've ever used.
Well, there is a lot to read. In my case I followed the instructions to the T.

Ok, one quick question before i root
I checked my HBOOT and it showed:
0.97.0000
It's totally different than the ones I was told of, can I still root?
If I can, just tell me, and I'll do it
Thanks
Two pages on a thread that wouldn't exist if you read the very first sticky in this subforum.
In that sticky is also a link for an auto rooter but I guess reading already available information is harder than having people hold your hand and spoon feed you.

Is there a stable 2.3 gingerbread rom out there?

I know you people don't like these posts, but you should really keep the ROMS forum in order, it's such a damn mess, there's no making sense of it! it's crazy!
IS THERE a stable, 2.3 ROM for the EVO 4G out there, that supports ALL the hardware features of the Evo?!
A simple question that you think would be easy to answer, but none of the ROM descriptions actually contain this information. And go spend 2 hours going through 300 pages of comments, most of them completely useless.
This forum is such a horrible way to store all this information, you hackers really need to come up with an alternative.

WOW! Someone needs to get some booty
First off, wow, asking for a stable version of an operating system that's barely out on any phone yet is so terrible that it obviously seems you haven't been doing hours of reading. Skim through the first page of the Q&A section for the evo or any of most recent pages on those "300 pages" of comments and you will find people talking about their problems with these ROMs.
Besides that... ruling out the terrible wiki we have for the evo, I can only offer my own opinion in what gingerbread ROM I believe is best. I suggest the latest Cyanogen Mod 7 RC if you don't keep up with the nightlies. CM7 has just about every feature the evo is hardware capable of. It runs fine for me along with Savaged Zen's kernel. Try out different kernels and ROMs to see what is best for you instead of relying on 300 pages of comments.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!! That's for sure!

OP,
It's fine if you don't want to search. It's fine if you don't want to read through threads that are hundreds of pages long. Both of those things are really your problem, not anybody's here. Also, it's fine if you would prefer a "cleaner" interface or a more organized presentation of ROMS available for the EVO; even I think that's a good idea that someone could really take advantage of on their own personal website with AdSense or something.
But what isn't fine is:
"...you people..."
"...it's such a damn mess, there's no making sense of it! it's crazy!"
"...300 pages of comments, most of them completely useless."
"This forum is such a horrible way to store all this information, you hackers really need to come up with an alternative."
If you came in here to post that and expected not to be insulted, called a troll, or start a flame fest then you, my friend, have some maturing to do.
...most if not all are beta's or rc's (or based off), so i say no!
Nightly 36 of CM7 is working 100% for everything I've tried thus far (4G, wifi tethering, maps, camera) but there's no guarantee there won't be issues later.
First, I can say the information here is some what scattered but the amount of the users on this site would make it nearly impossible for a group of non paid Admins to keep track of. Second, almost all version of GB are as close as they can be to stable, if none of those please you compile your own if it's not that hard. Third, what about Sense? Do you want it or need it, could use some maybe? Finally, IMO the Destroyer V2 is solid, with a lot of options, but requires reading the first post to flash properly.

CM7 nightly 36 will have everything working, other than the slight chance you will not be able to get the gps working with the sense fix.
Or try RC8 of the ROM linked in the yet another AOSP Ginger ROM thread in the dev section.
Or if you want something better, learn how to make it yourself (Forum or ROM).

Been running SalvageMod for a few days now. Not one issue.
i've been runnung destroyer v1 for 3 or 4 weeks, love it, not one issue except i can't get the hdmi out to work, which is fine cause i don't use that feature, other then that its stable enough as my daily, bluetooth, gps, 4g, everything working on my phone
You're right. It's next to impossible, specially if you're new to the forums, to find out certain details about a ROM. The wiki page for the ROMs and kernels are so outdated and rarely, if ever, mention what doesn't work on that ROM/Kernel. Doing searches yield pretty much every thread since most keywords and tags apply to all of them, understandably so. The issue can be remedied by keeping the wiki section up to date.
I don't understand why everyone is so defensive. He's not attacking you, just stating a fact. Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely grateful for any forums such as this. Bringing an issue into the light should be welcome and not garner so much hostility.

Was it too much to ask of the OP to simply ask his question? The roms, mods, kernels and themes are FREE for us to use and these forums provide us with a place where we can FREELY enjoy the dedicated work of the devs and improve our overall smartphone user experience. So what, if we have to do a little bit of searching to find what we seek. Do we not search for items at a grocery store or at a retail clothing store? Do many of us not use search engines to find what we seek? The point is this: Instead of taking frustrations out on the people who control/moderate these forums, simply ask the question and let those who are willing to help answer it. If that is too much of a strain then feel free to start a forum of your own and arrange it however you see fit.
As for your comment about garnering hostility, lets review:
I know you people don't like these posts, but you should really keep the ROMS forum in order, it's such a damn mess, there's no making sense of it! it's crazy!

C'mon. Please explain to me how we should not view his comments as hostile & arrogant. Telling others that they need to do a better job at providing a better way for him to get the information he seeks as if he is a paying customer of some sort is indeed disrespectful, hostile and arrogant. PERIOD! In my opinion, of course.

Best ROM

Hi All…
Really hope someone can advise me.
I’ve rooted and S-Off my friend’s HTC Desire. Now I need help choosing a ROM that is Fast, Smooth, Stable and has good battery life for everyday use. Also after I give the phone back, it won’t be updated anytime soon (I’m thinking 6months to a year) so no beta.
Thanks
Personally I'd say go for an aosp rom. GB Sense rom's are great but most have some sort of issue with lags fc's etc and are constantly being updated.
Couple of the best would be...
GingerVillain. Richard trip just updated to version 3.1 which seems to be running well for most people.
Redux2. This is labeled as "test" status, but honestly, I was running this for a month and found no issues with it at all. Was the fastest and smoothest rom (when teamed with Go Launcher Ex) that I've had on my phone. (Still got my nandroid and tempted to go back).
Search the dev section and read a couple of the threads. But honestly I'd say stick with an aosp rom. There's some great one's about.
Use the search. Asking for the best rom is a completely senseless question.

It's not a senseless question at all! What he's asking for is an OPINION.
If someone asked you what's the best car in the world, or what's the best football team, would you say "don't be stupid, that's a senseless question"? No, because you would have an OPINION about it and be able to give an answer according to what you thought.
Or are you saying you have no opinion, or free thought of your own?
Choosing a rom depends so much on personal preferences that it's senseless (=not helpful) to tell the OP what's the best rom my opinion is. If you read any thread with this topic you would understand it's senseless to ask this question.
Think about it: E.g. I tell you Mercedes builds the best cars in the world. You test it, don't like it, test BMW and like it. Result: My opinion did not help you at all.
And to form an opinion he just have to use the search.
Conclusion: His question was not stupid, but senseless.

I have read threads on this topic, and yes in a lot of cases it is stupid because they just ask "what is the best rom". However in this case if you read the op you'll see that what he is asking for is an opinion from people who have flashed Desire rom's for a "fast, smooth, stable" rom with "good battery life". Like I said before, he is asking for an opinion.
"Hey MatDrOiD, that movie you went to see the other night, was it any good because I'm thinking of going to see it?"
"Sorry, I can't answer that because it would require me giving you my opinion. And any opinion about the movie is dependant so much on personal preferences that it would be senseless and not helpful of me to tell you anything about it, even though I saw it and might/might not have enjoyed it. Therefore I cannot tell you whether I think it was good or not, and I refuse to speak about it any more."
Edit:
"MatDrOiD, that girl over there is pretty hot yes?"
"Why are you asking such a nonsensical question? My opinion has no bearing to you on whether she looks nice or not. I could say yes, but someone else could say no. So in that sense I will just stay quiet and not give any opinion about it one way or the other."
Edit2:
"So Mr Hawking, what is your opinion about subatomic matter anti-matter particle deceleration in a flux void?"
"What a senseless question. Spend the next thirty years researching the subject and then make up your own opinion. Even though I am the most knowledgeable man on the planet on this subject, I refuse to give you my opinion."

+1 on this. Aosp rom would be my choice as well.
Ignore me, I'm a n00b posting via xda app.
@zedmarcus:
Your examples have nothing to do with the OP's question. In all your three of your examples the questioner asks for an opinion about a specific topic (movie, girl, subatomic matter).
In this topic the OP asks in general. If he asked something like "what do you guys think of oxygen or AOSP roms in general, then your example would be appropriate.
Furthermore, the thread title says "best rom".
Nevertheless, we should end this: Because of personal preferences I recommend lightweight AOSP roms like dGB, Oxygen or Redux.
SwiftKeyed from dGB using Transparent XDA App
Girls, girls, quit bickering. There is no place on XDA for thin skins.
IMHO, Oxygen and Redux are two of the fastest and stablest ROMs if you dislike the HTC bells and whistles. I used to be a Leedroid and StarBurst mainstay, but since switching over to Oxygen, I haven't had one single incidence of bootloop, even after powering on after my battery fell out after I accidentally dropped my Desire onto a marble floor.
@MatDrOiD
I don't think you really understand what you're saying...
If you had even bothered reading the first post instead of just the title you would have seen that he is asking for a specific type of rom, "I need help choosing a ROM that is Fast, Smooth, Stable and has good battery life for everyday use."
And the specific topic in question here is a Desire ROM. Your arguement is SENSELESS.
But anyway...
+1 for an aosp rom
consider this thread finished
Aosp all the way

Thank you so much “zedmarcus” for your advice and thanks “rootSU“ too.
@MatDrOiD
All I’m after is a Fast, Smooth and Stable ROM with good battery life.
Now I have two options,
1. I can download and try all ROMs available for HTC Desire for one week each (which will take months).
2. I can ask people what they would recommend, and based on recommendations I can decide on one ROM (or if it’s two or three, I can easily try them and that would only take few weeks).
In the interest of saving time, I have chosen option 2 and I still think I have done the right thing.
Remember this is a form for people around the world to help each other, share ideas and experience.
No problem. Hope you find one that suits your needs
Consider trying AOSP mate, most if not all of those criteria you're looking are present. Currently using Gingervillain 3.1, for me its fast.
But speaking of battery life, i want to know the opinion of others....im a moderate user, brightness to low, only used wifi as of the moment for surfing the net, turns it on only if needed but one time i fell asleep leaving wifi on for more or less 7hours.after 2days i still have 20%..is the batt good to your opinion????

Its impossible to judge really, as usage differes and I can't tell anything about your usage without hard facts.
I can say from my experience, GV battery life is ok, but not as good as Oxygen, redux or dGB for my individual usage.
i just got my desire and i want a rom that everything works fine and i like the new sense 3.5. which rom do you recomend?

Well in my opinion too the best solution is an AOSP rom like oxygen or GingerVillain but i use insertcoin 1.1.0 for a long time and never had any trouble with bootloops or FCs or anything else and i heve and the great sense 2.1-3. and the battery life is 1,5 days with wifi GSM net some games and music!!!

This is my port of a mix of the Sensation XL and Rezound Sense 3.5 shipped ROMs to the Incredible 2. My goal in making this ROM is to provide a fast, reliable, smooth and stable ROM with added features that, I believe, make it more convenient and easy to use. oh, and, if you like my ROM, please hit the thanks button....
FEATURES
Based mainly on Sensation XL build 1.17.1010.1 with bits from Rezound build 1.02.605.11;
Drellisdee's Sense kernel #21 included, with No Frills CPU for those who want to overclock;
All png files in the main graphics APKs optimized for improved performance plus some "secret" () system tweaks that add to overall speed and stability (will optimize all APKs for next release);
My personalized Tweaks app, which allows many customizations (I'll elaborate later), with more to come;
Redone and hand selected Init.d boot scripts, to increase available RAM and virtual memory, zipalign on boot, make your sdcard read speed faster, improve battery accuracy and more;
Added build.prop tweaks to improve touch responsiveness, force Rosie into memory, use hardware acceleration to drive UI, increase wifi speed and more;
Percentage battery mod;
Bloatware removed with some added (uninstallable) apps that I always find useful;
Removed most of the apps and widgets that are on your home screens after flashing, as most users just remove them anyway;
Ad-blocking hosts file (you can update via included AdFree Android app);
Much more...
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM;
Download ROM from here: http://tinyw.in/4sja
MD5: 65b40068a24e5f6204efdb06697de04f
Put ROM on your SD Card;
Boot into clockwork mod recovery and perform a full wipe of your phone, including data/factory reset and cache partition (or use ROM Manager and select wipe data/cache before flashing). YOU MUST PERFORM THIS STEP, AS I HAVE REBUILT THE SYSTEM!!!;
Flash ROM (via CWM recovery or ROM Manager);
Reboot and let things sync, settle;
Personally, I set the CPU to 1.2 GHZ and, in Settings-->Tweaks-->Rosie Options-->Enable Quick Scroll, I use the second fastest setting. I find this provides a good mix of speed, smoothness and battery life, but please feel free to do whatever makes you happy . I've gotten it to bench at 2500 and still be very stable, so mess around a bit.
Enjoy, and let me know how I can improve the ROM. Thanks!
KNOWN ISSUES
Honeycomb lockscreen's graphics are off, Will be fixed in a patch soon...

You are wayyy too spoiled by NEWT lol.
just about ever other DEV would rather have their testers and make sure a solid build is ready before general release instead of just throwing out a ROM and having multiple bugs. Now this is great for those who want it, but unless you have been around MIKMIK most don't understand that they will most likely have to re-do their set-up the next day or day after and get upset about it, which is understandable, NEWT does an amazing job of killing bugs, he just needs to let the newbies know not to get upset when a full wipe comes the next day. I personally would rather wait for Mr. sk806 to wait for his dudes to give to go ahead and then with much less bugs it makes it easy to pin point the real harder to find problems instead of getting everything set up and then having to do a full wipe the next day..
I personally suggest you get on as many tester teams you can, if you are wanting this, many are looking for guys like yourself who just love to flash flash flash and give results fast. for real you spend the most time on every forum out of every person. it's impressive lol.
Very happy to see u back. Been loving your stuff sense the og inc. Take ur time, can't wait!

That has been my philosophy, stable ROMs that still are on the edge of feasible. Just wanna say Newt is a great dev and guy, and he is REALLY on the bleeding edge, so you take your lumps with that and he always gets things smooth and steady in short order. It has always been that way with XDA from at least as long as I've been around (long time, now). Some devs are slow and steady and some just bust right ahead. I admire both types, but am of the latter.
Anyway, I am a bit frustrated, because the new 3.5 Rosie is virtually un-themable right now, and I likes my pretty matte-Rosie, but, oh well... People way smarter than me are apparently close to getting m10 tools for Sense 3.5 finished (Virtuous Team). Sooo, the ROM may not have matte sense, as usual, until that happens, but I will release the base ROM sans Magnolia skin anyway. Just tidying up all the things you forget when you start from scratch. When the new m10 tools are out, I have the skin PNGs ready to go, so it'll be there soon.
Anyway, I will get the basic ROM out to my testers soon and release next week. I have had a really ****ty year - I have had glaucoma, eye surgery, lost my house and studio in a flood and have just gotten over a flu that morphed into pneumonia. It is just funny at this point, it really is. BUT, I also had my third child in October, my family is safe and happy, and I just want to end this whole 2011 thing on a good note, with my family, my job and my slightly-geeky hobby. I am really looking forward to this.
Sorry for the long post, see you all real soon...

Just to throw in my quick two cents...
Steve has talent beyond many - mostly because of his ability to ensure EVERYTHING WORKS before releasing it.
I used his Magnolia build on the original Inc...and it was the best ROM because it worked all the time every time.
The fact that he is releasing a Sense 3.5 ROM is terribly exciting, because Virtuous (which I have been running for a while now) is great - but Steve will make sure everything is good to go for us US Verizon users out of the box so to speak.
The fact that it will be Stockish Sense 3.5 (without the matte) is even more appealing to me.
Did I set the bar high buddy? lol. Thanks for all of your work!
i hope this rom will support GSM.
Thanks.

Will there ever be a ROM that is right for me?...

Ive been a fan of ROMs and customizing Android since I originally bought into the smartphone world, back in the days of Android 2.3. It originally started because not only was I already a fan of modern technology and loved to build computers and troubleshoot malfunctioning tech, but because back in the days of Android 2, ICE, and so on, there was a reason for ROMs. They added so many features to such restricted systems that did not have very many features and were prone to freezing issues due to the chip technology not allowing for fast enough CPUs to support such demanding systems, but now that my T-Mobile Note 3 SM-900T and everyone elses all have official Lollipop firmware, its hard to see why I have such a hard time finding a ROM that I like, but I will tell you why, its simple. The reason being is that I like the stock system so much more than any of the ROMs currently out there, unless... there was something I missed...
TO ALL DEVS, THIS IS WHAT I FEEL ALOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE OUT OF A ROM FOR THE SM-900T. I AM NOT A DEVELOPER, I HAVE NOT A CLUE HOW TO DEV, NOR DO I HAVE THE TOOLS, THEREFORE YOU CAN GLADLY TAKE MY IDEA FOR YOUR OWN!!!
As I said before, I believe the stock system is amazing, however the battery life and speed is terrible, so of course I began by experimenting with ROMs as per the ususal, well the Alliance ROM was pretty nice, the system was extremely fast and very stable, I liked it alot. However, alot of little details began to get on my nerves. First was the 1000+ options for custom coloring and customizing of the U.I. While more choice sounds like a good thing, you come to find that there are no defaults set up. My notifications kept coming up completely blanked out with no text whatsoever because the colors had to be set. Well, navigating the Alliance custom color settings was completely unfathomable and after days of experimenting, I came up with NO positive results. It also did not have the ability to skip songs from the lockscreen via lockscreen notification, which became a real pain real fast. Having to enter your 6-digit pin while doing 60+ MPH on your way to work just to skip a song isn't fun. Eventually, Alliance had to go. The other ROM I have recently tried is the DomPop TekHD edition (since its the one based on the official lollipop firmware). At first, things looked very promising, then it bricked my phone. After following the Dev's "Failsafe/Bulletproof" installation instructions, I finally got the ROM to function, but I found that the flashing of the stock kernel on top of the custom ROM did limit its features. The ViperFX custom equalizer does not work whatsoever, google play music FC's all the time, and the phone freezes up quite often.
After my frustrations trying to use these ROMS, I came to a startling conclustion: The Stock firmware is just better! And this is what gave me the idea, because despite it being stock it comes with all the features available to modern smartphones, its pretty fast, its stable, and it never fails, so why not create a COMPLETELY STOCK ROM but with some bloatware removed, and have it tweaked to provide better battery life and performance? Honestly, the stock features are better anyways. The ONLY issue that I can find with the stock firmware is that battery life is terrible (under 8 hours on WiFi wtf????), and the system could use a little optimizing combined with a bit of overclocking (Id say 2.5 GHz is plenty). For example, my car stereo sounds so much better off the stock built-in Samsung equalizer than any profile I was ever able to make using ViperFX.
Devs, if you were to create this simple and yet amazing ROM, I; and many others would greatly appreciate it! Yes I am aware that there are some stock ROMS available for the SM-900T. HOWEVER; there aren't any that are compatible with the OFFICIAL LOLLIPOP BASEBAND/FIRMWARE AND THIS IS WHAT WE NEED!
So you tried 2 ROMs, and now all ROMs suck unless they are what your idea of a ROM should be? Lol
Seriously.... I can't even.

Oh look here at mister moron trying to assume things. No idiot, thats not all Ive tried. Those are just examples. Ive literally tried every single ROM available on XDA for the SM-900T running the Lollipop Baseband, and MOST from back when we were still all on KitKat. If I were to give an accurate estimate, I would say Ive installed about 15-20 different ROMs on my phone. The KitKat ones were great! But now it seems like every single Lollipop-based ROM just has so many issues that its not worth running.
So yea dont even sit here and point the finger at me like Im the one with the issue, maybe next time you oughta think before you speak.
By the way, I wasnt saying all ROMs suck, cause they dont. Its just these days, the stock firmware is actually better

But since you went there, Yeah, I went back through your post history. Seems you don't know actually what you're doing, so, I'll just leave it at that.

Stock rooted+Xposed is what all the cool kids are doing now. Roms are a bit redundant/unecessary if you can shove enough extra functionality into stock and be more stable/efficient at the same time.
Also you post like a teenager with daddy issues, might want to use full words like a big boy.

ur the one who started all the whining, so I think its pretty funny how you talk about yourself. Oh hey, whats that, its time for my date? oh right, something you have probably never heard of. Anyways, too busy to deal with the likes of you or anyone in this stupid forum if thats how all of you act, I'll just use a rival site for all my needs. This, XDA, is how you loose a customer, peace.
Wtf

Since when does anyone care whatsoever about how someone types on a forum? Is this really what your life revolves around, peoples online spelling, really? Thats what is so damn important? If that is what you are truly concerned about, go get some help, like now. Ya no, see Im 23 years old, out here livin' life, enjoying it (So far at least), and makin' money, which is why come September Im gonna be one of the first and only people I even know to walk out of a T-Mobile store with a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 paid up front, in cash . You really think Im concerned with what anyone has to say on some two-bit forum site, especially when I know you are only backing this other stupid guy because hes a higher "rank" than me? Wow, you people are truly pathetic, wasteful, miserable excuses for human beings. Im pretty sure the world would have been a much better place had neither one of you two been born. and its really funny how me and the guys are just sitting here with a couple beers and joints, just laughing our asses off as you all get trolled by the boss. Hahahahaha screw this site and everyone on it. I was polite and nice for years on here and this is the thanks I get? A bunch of ridicule for having an opinion? Wow, I think all of you need to move to Colorado where Im at and learn to chill the hell out. Now Im busy, bouts to go get some action, peace!

Huh? Hack someone? No no no, I dont hack people. I have no desire to be mean to anyone, I have more respect for people than that. He started this ridiculous quarrel, and I ended it, with facts. Pretty easy to get people to back off when they themselves know they are causing issues for no reason whatsoever other than they literally want to pick fights. Which by the way, seems pretty stupid to do over the internet lol. Pretty immature, too. Im sure a moderator got him or something along those lines.
