[Q] Fastest and most stable ROM? - HTC Wildfire S

Hey guys,
I'm from the Galaxy Nexus forums, coming over here for some advice. My girlfriend has a Telstra (Australia) branded HTC Wildfire S. I know this is generally frowned upon, but I'd like to ask this question.
What is the most stable and fastest ROM for the Wildfire S? My GF is in no way a technology guru, so it has to be stable and have NO/MINIMAL lag. Her current ROM (stock) is so slow that it's not funny.
I was looking at CyanogenMod, due to the fact it doesn't have the Sense bloat on top of GB.
Cheers guys!

I personally prefer cyanogenmod because its light , fast and can be tweaked a lot [and is stable].
Dont forget to unlock the bootloader first.

[Q] Will/When DHD receive Ice Cream Sandwich

Hello guys.
Does someone knows news about possible future update with ICS?
Google said that every mobile capable to run Gingerbread will be capable to have ICS...
Thanks in advance for your time.

Officially, no, but trough xda developers, yes
Desire HD is more than capable. the problem is with HTC. Somehow i doubt that we will get the official ICS.
What's good about android is that we get to have independent developers developing roms for us so I'm pretty sure we will get an early port for our device once the sources comes out.
Google should start releasing sources now!!!
I think this update will be the reason i finally root my DHD. ICS looks awsome. I'm currently just using the GO Launcher with a honeycomb theme and that looks and feels a damn site better than Sense
no official news by now.
we should wait for sense roms based on ice cream sandwich. I can not live without official sense on my phone personally .
yes, one of the reasons why i rooted my desire HD last week because i know devs will be porting ICS to our phone. can't wait for that to happen. I'll be glad to donate to anyone that will be bringing an early ICS port to our phone

HTC are reviewing ICS because some of the improvments in ICS was brought by Sense on gingerbread, but there is no timeline for any device to get ICS but Cyanogenmod publicly announced no CM9 roms will be out untill the Source is out. they dont fiddle with SDK's

Sorry Mr. Moderator.
Please move my thread or close it.

I hope it will come soon officially. I really love HTC and their work but if they keep ignoring previous models to sell the new ones, I will definetely change to samsung or sth else. Making you do things which only they allow is one of the reasons I hate about Apple, which even they are upgrading their previous devices, HTC is acting even worse. I already feel extremely disappointed about Sense 3.0 or 3.5 not coming to DHD officially, that would be too much.
Here is the Nexus Prime dump.
Hope some devs will take it on and port it=)

Galaxy nexus is the name not nexus prime
I'm really glad seeing that developement in Desire HD Section goes that fast forward
But the devs need the source code of ICS , which will be released if the Galaxy Nexus gets released... doesn't they?
SO it will be a matter of time until ics will come on our desire hd's ..
maybe we just waiting the dev to port it to our DHD....

+1 I especially dislike not being able to update my device just because the manufacturer doesn't want me to, lucky we have xda. According to mike the ARHD dev sense 3 and 3.5 will soon come to DHD officially. The current ARHD rom is a leaked official sense 3 rom from HTC.

OFFICIAL NEWS...SORRY GUYS
What devices will not get Android 4.0?
We work hard to ensure each of our products has the optimal user experience and therefore some products will remain at their current version of Android. In general, devices with 512MB ROM or less will not be upgraded to Android 4.0. These devices include the HTC ChaCha, HTC Salsa, HTC Wildfire S, HTC Explorer, and others.
Thank the devs for CM9
I think it's been pretty clear from the beginning that the WFS is not a candidate for HTC ICS. Therefore:

Because ROM and RAM are not the same thing. 512MB RAM is fine, but 512MB of ROM (Stupid naming, as it isn't really read-only) is a problem when you toss in sense on top of base android. It would leave you practically no space for apps (which is already an issue on GB) or anything without link2SD or similar, which HTC isn't going to be doing as stock. For example, my incredible S (which is getting ICS) has a full 1.1GB of ROM, so they have loads of space to play with.
There's people in the dev section working to port the golf (aka desire c) ICS rom to the wildfire S. They're only able to get it to fit via extra optimizations (deodexing, pngcrush, stripping optional stuff, etc.)that HTC wouldn't be interested in using.
Yes, no offical ICS for us, but htc says that we will get more software updates

Gingerbread went up to 2.3.7.
But the fixes in those aren't real relevant to the WFS. 2.3.6 fixed a voice search bug and 2.3.7 added wallet support to the nexus S.

It's not true.
You can never find a perfect ICS ROM. Just have to try them all, and find the one that suits your daily needs.

Do you have an inspire? If so, then with some roms you may need to flash the inspiremod, sound fix, etc - there are many versions.
If you have a dhd, none that I know of.
No need to flash kernels unless you want to experiment a bit.

You probably already know this, perhaps he doesn't. Everything works fine with almost all the gb roms, the ics roms are a tad buggy.

Anyone here flash IceColdSandwish 8.4 rom before ?
since this the most popular ICS rom for DHD at the moment .
but i have a few problem with navigation Apps (papago - sygic)
any one have this problem too ?
I think xgs from krisjanne is one of the best ics roms. A lot of options and very smooth. Lords Ics is also very good.

You have to take a few ICS roms out for a test drive. Remember that what is the best rom for one user may completely be hated by another. It all depend on your liking and what your looking to get out of it. All ICS roms have their minor issues if you mind dealing with them. As I may not mind a minor bug another user may consider it a total headache. No one here can tell you who is the best rom to use in the end it all comes down to you and what you think of them. Source codes are not released as of yet so ICS roms have minor bugs while Gingerbread roms are solid.
Read, read and read some more and enjoy the learning. We all been there and are still there.
Using aospX-1.0.0-BR4-DHD and it is working like a charm.
Thanks

Chalenge for porters N1 MIUI ICS fully working rom

As I could see here a Nexus One has a fully working MIUI ICS rom on MIUI United States site. Also, as much as I know both N1 and Desire has the same hardware under the hub, so porters I don't see any reason not to see it on Desire.
I'm not able to do that but I can chalenge you.

If you read the thread you will see that this rom has the same problems as all the rest. Mainly handling video recording and playback. The kernel is still 2.6 and the rom base is definately based on evervolv sources. So, no there's nothing new in this rom.

When I bought this phone I thought there was going to be multiple Ver of android available to us since it's a developer phone. The themes make up for it though.
