I just discovered Rooting and putting stuff on my Incredible , and I have noticed before that I've seen new Gingerbread software come out and Ice Cream and I'm still stuck on Android 2.2 .. any suggestions ? And how would I got about doing it ?
well, there are currently no leaks at all for Ice Cream so that is out of the question. For Gingerbread i would recommend CM7 at http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ it has gingerbread and is VERY fast and stable but, does not have sense. There are many threads here about flashing roms so i don't really feel like i need to go into that but look around and i guarantee you can find one.

The best one to flash is the one you like the most. Everything isn't for everybody. I did gingerbread for awhile now I'm on zroms. Its up to you there all good and the developers rock.

Personally I like the Z ROMs the most, but chefyocum is correct.
CM7 for me.

Check out CM7 and Ultimate Droid. Both are awesome GB roms.

never understood why people want to use iphone theme on android. short term is fine for those who change frequently but if u want the iPhone...just get one instead of android

Hmm... I like the way my phone looks and feels, android market, widgets, and the customization.... If we wanted an iphone we would have one!

Well first decide if you like sense, which is basically the HTC interface of your stock ROM, or AOSP, which is the android interface the way google designed it. Then you can pick a corresponding rom. For example, SkyRaider Sense 4.0 is sense rom, and CM7 is AOSP.
SkyRaider Sense
CM7 Nightlies AOSP
As far as getting it done there are plenty of guides that can be found by searching for rooting and flashing roms. Also, most rom threads in these forums have instructions in the first post.
CyanogenMod 7 FTW!
If you decide on aosp salvage mod and evervolv are both excellent roms

i like skyraider and uber roms from joel.....both are nice and have sense wich is what i like. not into the asop roms since no sense
I recommend the new GB leak or gingersense remix... I'm a big sense ui fan though. AOSP definately CM7
If you want sense go for Uber Z. VERY STABLE ROM. If not, then go for CM7.
I use either Warm Z two point two or Skyraider 4.0 since both are very stable, fast, and solid battery life. I stick to warm z 90% of the time though. I like landscape. lol

CM7 Nightlies
Stable vs. Beta
There are a lot of Beta Roms running Gingerbread and various versions of HTC Sense.
CyanogenMod 7 is by far the most stable Gingerbread ROM I've see out there (although it's Vanilla so you won't see any HTC Sense going on).
The nice thing about ROMs is you can flash, flash, and flash some more.
I'll second Uber Z for Sense and CyanogenMod 7 for AOSP.
But, as Sharpe said, you can flash and flash to your heart's content. With these Sense 3.0 leaks, I've been flashing like a maniac and having a blast. And if a ROM doesn't work for me, I can just restore to my Nandroid backup and I'm back to where I started (CM7, in this case). ^.^
I'm rocking Carbonite v5. Awesome visuals, great battery life, and very fast.

Will there be custom roms based off the official gingerbread update soon? Is it necessary? I would feel better to have a custom rom based of the official update just released. Also can it be used and have sense 3.0 inserted? That would be awesome. I'm pretty sure that only bits and pieces will be used the fix issues and stuff. What do you think?

Yes. I'm sure there's one or more available at this very moment. As for elements of Sense 3.0, the Synergy rom has it. It is Gingerbread, Sense 2.1 and 3.0 all rolled in one. It should be available to the masses very soon. It is very well built

Sounds good. I can't wait to see it. Hopefully everything works like hdmi and all the bells and whistles.

Hi everyone
In your opinion, what ROM under development now do you think is the one to wait for?
The one that you can't wait to reach a stable version, or that will give the desire some more days to live?

Oxygen is the one for me ;-)
That would be an ICS Rom with Sense
Oxygen 3, because if it fails, I'm soooo looking forward to going back to FroYo it is barely possible.
CM9 is the one i'm looking forward to - hopefully it will run without performance issues on the Desire!

Totally agree. Waiting impatiently for CM9. Hope it will be made for Desire. Now using MIUI. Satisfied with it.
ICS on Desire will require A LOT of magic.
Got to be ics rom if it can't be done shall be upgrading my Desire.

I'd love ICS on my Desire but I think HTC Sense will just mask many of the major UI improvements in Android and our phones are probably to slow to run the new sense that will be present on a 4.0 ROM
Ice Cream Sandwich should run better than 2.x, on the Desire Z, since it uses hardware acceleration for the UI across the board, right?
I can't wait to see an ICS ROM for the G2

I disagree. Lots of tech stuff from Sense is now directly in the system, which means Sense will be lighter, witch means it will be smaller, which means... You get the picture.
Waiting for cm9. Though I'll be buying the new nexus as soon as it comes to Norway. Its gonna be sad to put my desire away. We'be been through so much together..

Personally I'm waiting for CM9. Though my desire already looks a lot like ICS.
The ROM i'm waiting for is Oxygen V3.
after that CM9.
hope ICS on Desire is possible anyway.
What I'm waiting for is Oxygen 3, then I will see of CM9 is good or not. Finally, I will hope to see a stable ICS Rom with Sense. (although that would take quite a while )

AdamG got ICS to boot and work on SGS2 so hopefully he will be able to start porting in a week or so

CM9 but I'll use oxygen 3 until its released
Hey guys I thought it would be interesting to start a poll to find out what are the android versions that people are using on our 2+years old HTC Desire.
For me, I'm running ics.. what about you guys???

Most are using Gingerbread. Some are on ICS. Any user who is still on Froyo at this point probably doesn't have any idea about rooting and or XDA or just wanna be left alone in the past.
No need for a poll or a thread really.

Ye.
Best rom thread with a flavor twist.
I'm on ICS now (miui v4)
MIUI 2.3 working perfectly
ICS too ! With the rom of dk_zero-cool.
Everything runs fast on my old device
would be interesting who is still on 2.1
I think that was the shipping version, right?
Still using xj miui 2.3
Currently on off GB, downloading runnymede's sense 3.5 rom

I'm on Miui ICS... !!! Best ROM ever
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
I'm using ICS from DK_Zero-Cool (v3.3u1). Most stable one i've experienced until now
MIUI XJ since New year, probably will try with some Sense ROM soon
I'm still using CM7.2 RC1. Very stable and fast.
Could anyone explain to me why everybody is so hyped about ICS? I mean I appreciate what the devs of ICS ROMs do and it's great that they make ICS possible on our old Desires.
I tried Sandvold's ROM and BCM. They're quite good and making good progess, but I always came back to CM7.
I actually don't see a point in switching to ICS (yet) unless you like flashing and testing new ROMs, because CyanogenMod 7 and other 2.3 ROMs seem more stable and faster and they have all the features ICS offers.
Is it the looks of ICS or just that it's new and you want to test it?
I'll probably switch over eventually, but at the moment I'm just curious what you like about ICS.
What is your favorite ICS rom on the DHD in your opinion? I do like aospX (it's what I'm proudly running now) but I was wondering what you guys think about the Sense 4.0 roms and other choices like Paranoid, Virtuous Quattro? How are they coming along? Battery life/smoothness/overall experience?
I hated everything Sense 3.0 and wanted to get rid of it the moment I bought my phone. It looks like it's improved quite a bit, though. :good:
Thanks community.

Vitrous infinity.......

I'd have to agree with oli.98 IceColdSandwich has never done me wrong, however I've moved from it to Jelly Bean
