that is a good place to start - although some of the links are incorrect and I think some are in the wrong categories which is a shame
lothaen, thanks i gave it a go, i have come to the conclusion that i hate sense, i love the way it looks and the customization, but when you get down to the nitty gritty things, i hate it lol
I like sense - but thats just my opnion
fair enough, i want to like it tho

Same with me.
Tried leedroid, oxygen, cm6, cm7, various HD ports and settled down to miui.us 1.7.22.

I love sense and I will go back to it at some point, waiting on Droidzone to update his gingerburst RoM. But at the moment am using MIUI data2ext and its bloody great, love everything about it, at first it looks abit iphoney but you can download alot of themes and change the look.
So try MIUI
No Sense no HTC. If you want no sense buy SG2
And BTW LeeDroid rox
Cool AceS Mix v2,very fast
but no chinese touch input
Beso your hardcore mate, if i can get a sgs2 for £150 of ebay i would mate, but to be honest i hate samsung stuff so it'd be an opx2 for me mate
actually i have tried the 2 hd senses, they feel very laggy to me, is the normal senses a bit faster, i might give them a go, just to spice things up, but even tho i hate apple stuff, i love the miui rom, so classy, i might find a sense rom for backup for when i have an urge for it
The only thing why I would consider miui is auto brightness which works fcuking awesome with it. Otherwise, I'm sticking to my Sense integration wrapped in my LauncherPro theme
im downloading leedroid 3.0.8.2, not the hd one, i'll give it a try, what would you say is the best sense rom? non hd? iv come from having a wildfire,blade and pulse, one thing i will say is that the dev community for the desire is amazing, so many devs, roms, kernels, the works, we are very lucky to be spoilt and have so much to choose from.

Can you Please Post Questions in the Q&A forum Thanks
Moving to Q&A
the first rom i installed was gingervillain 2.0
ive tried several roms, coming and going between them, they all had advantages/disadvantages. but i always keep ending up installing gingervillain. its does everything i need, its quick, it's sense-less (personally dont like it) and as yet, i dont think ive encountered a bug with it.
now running gingervillain 2.7
Redux 1.2, awesomely fast! original android 2.3 without sense or any other big additions. Clean and stable! no bugs so far!

Huh? Sense may be an HTC ui but its not like a Desire wont work without it! In fact it works better without it, have you seen the aosp ROMs out there?

All sense ROMs are a little bit laggy as they kinda bog down the OS.. if you want a very fast and stable ROM, try an aosp ROM like CyanogenMod7.. its awesome! I've heard Oxygen is also very good, its what I'll be trying next
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
I am waiting for the official 2.3 update these days, just as everybody else.
But I am beginning to doubt that it will make me happy. Sounds like I will have even less memory for apps and such. I am curious to see Sense 2.1 on the Desire, so maybe I'll try it out.
But: Sense (at least the current Sense on the current official 2.2 release), isn't really very important for me. Performance, available memory, battery life and stability is more important to me. Customizability and the ability to run apps that require root (I have never rooted my phone before) might be a nice side benefit too.
So should I wait for the official 2.3 or just go with cyanogenmod now?
What will Sense 2.1 give me?
What will the official 2.3 update give me that current cyanogenmod won't?
How long until a cyanogenmod based on the official 2.3 is released?
Can I take a full snapshot backup of my phone in it's current state and always be able to restore it, ROM, installed apps, settings, contacts and what not? Would be nice before I mess with cyanogenmod. I want to be able to go back to my current state, if possible.
If I install the official 2.3 (when it is released) will I then be able to downgrade easily to my current ROM and state? Will I be able to install cyanogenmod if I have official 2.3?
Thanks

Yes, it's much faster than any Sense-based ROM. And you also get the latest Android available (at the moment: GRJ90 - I've heard it's 2.3.5 with nightlies).
Keep in mind though that Cyanogen is pure Android (with many mods and tweaks), so it'll look much different than official ROM.
You know 2.3 won't be available on HTC Desire, just Desire HD and Z. You shouldn't wait anymore
CyanogenMod is very fast, very stable and very awesome
I'm using CM7.1 and its running perfectly
I still don't understand why people are so in love with Sense, it clogs up your phone and is sluggish.
I've never looked back since going with CyanogenMod, its faster, more flexible, stable, customizable

Hi,
first of all, you can simply root your phone, you can only benefit.
After that you have rooted your phone you have the ability to do a complete screenshot of your rom(nandroid backup) and roll it back whenever you want.
So with a done nandroid backup, you can simply try most of the roms!
But i would suggest that you wait a few days after the release of the 2.3 update, so the devs can cook their roms.
So AOSP(Cyanogenmod) vs Sense
i am not very familiar with cyanogenmod but i will probably choose it one day (next android version)
they build many great features in their rom and its abolutly worth trying!
And i think with a little search affort you can find most of the Sense Features!
but i am with Sense Roms, but will change if they get too outdated!
A big reason to stay with Sense is Htc Sync (Outlook Cal Sync), i have tried MyPhoneExplorer but it isnt the same.
Also the whole Social thing is so nice integratet, you can share from everywhere(website, sms,...) things with others, with a nice shortcut.
Also the camera app is very nice(dont know the current from cyanogen) but i have the sense3 cam on my mobile and its brilliant
But mostly i think its a look/feel thing
I remember some situations where i thought a aosp would be nice but most of the time i am good with sense
My conclusion is if you want a complete solution stay with sense, if you want to change and customize everything go with cyanogen
Edith: After trying Cyanogen Nightly#147 for a few hours, i saw what i miss in (stock) cyanogenmod:
First minor downside is the need for bluetooth when using the fm-radio.
Ok now i started the Camera to see whats up here, and the aosp camera is quite good,
focus solution could be better and the app is ugly as hell but thats not important.
But what for me is important is a good Calendar Solution, and here sucks Stock Android!
No Offline Calendar, you need a Google or Exch.-Acc to open the app, also its ugly and i dislike it.
Like a thead?
I need ROM with ICS or JB, with Sense 4.0 or 4.0 Lite, which fully working.

Everyone's list of necessary features is different, so "fully working" means different things to everyone. For example, I rarely use my camera, but for some that's a deal breaker. The only way to answer your question is to try them. There are lists of bugs in the OPs of ROM threads in the development forum, along with a sticky index of all of the ROMs.

I have checked almost all the ICS ROM and i liked the Sabsa Prime v4.1 | 4.0.3 | Sense 4a.
But there is a camera issue problem but i fixed that yesterday. and now the ROM is perfect to me.
Why Not Give it a Try to all the ROM with sense 4 and which ever you feel the best then go for it. everyone has different opinion

why didnt you originally state you wanted to advertise Sabsa, far too many alledged help posts are aimed at advertising particular roms. not really cricket is it ??????
Iv'e been running Blackout ISC Incredible v.3.1.0 for a few days. but it's Sence 3.6
I've been running sabsa since 3.0 version, it's the fastest and most stable rom that I've tried running on ICS, I suggest you to try it. Do a nandroid backup so eventually you can easily go back to gb.

Hi there
I am new to this forum but have been told this is the forum to go to for continuing development on the htc desire.
I bought an unlocked htc desire from ebay but as there are no updates was wondering what would be my best options for improving performance and enhancement of the phone.
I would like to know wether i should root the phone.
Upgrade to 2.3
or just leave it.
I would like to extend battery life and update the rom to like jellybean or other.
please advise me
My advice would be start off with a good gingerbread Rom (android 2.x), as its a mature format you can be pretty sure the phone will be stable, and all features will work. I like both the RSK team's Rom and mildwild's cm7 one, but there are many I've not tried.

You should definitely root, and s-off it to get the best out of it. For this, check the "All Things Root" guide in my sig.
As frosty said, you should start with a stable GB rom, whether it's Sense or not.
If you only want to upgrade the Desire to the official 2.3 rom, then check the RUU in my sig.
root, upgrade or leave
thankks for that.
are there only a certain amount of customs roms available for Desire , ie, CM7(GB) or can you install newer versions.
This rooting sounds good but before i doi am going to need to know more, especially the continual development for this device.
is there still good support from XDA for this device.
I am after good support and devlopment.
Why not look at the development thread and make up your own mind if the community is active or not?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
root, upgrade or leave
looks busy.
just hope i dont do the wrong thing.
so is it possible to install other roms apart from cm7 what about the latest roms??
Read the first couple of posts, and the last few pages of the thread to get a feel for stability and issues. I see a simple, basic decision process, decide if you want something new and shiny, which might have a few problems, or something old and maybe a bit boring, but reliable.(gingerbread vs ics/jb)
Once that decision has been made just choose your Rom, make sure you have the right hboot for the one you want to try, so long as you have your nandroid backup to fall back on you're unlikely to break anything.

root, upgrade or leave
I have been reading the posts and threads about rooting and it sounds quite complicated.
Reading a mag about android and rooting you can also do it without connecting to your pc.
As I am not technologically minded on phones , the mag seemed to make it sound easier.
I think the software for the phone or website is called z4??
any ideas on this.
many thanks
A quick search suggests it's not a lot of use for us. Rooting and s-off are relatively complicated, but worth the rewards, and you can't expect a whole new phone experience without a little effort...

I'm in similar situation. I rooted my 2.2 Froyo yesterday. Installed Link2SD made appropriate partition and moved apps to it. So thats not the problem anymore.
Now I'm wondering if I should instal custom ROM and which one?
My high priorities:
Stability
Advanced functions working properly (eg. tethering)
Speed (faster than stock froyo)
My low priorities:
As new as possible (JB?)
Sense
Easy to install
Which one should I get? Or should I stay on Froyo?

You can't have sense and jb at the same time. If you want sense, you will have to install gb. If you want JB, you will have stability problems after a while, if not in the first week.
So what you are asking is impossible to fulfill.
If you want a stable sense, try Coolsense v3, or Runnymede aio special edition.
If you want jb, then try VJ's JB.
root, upgrade or leave
thanks for that.
so my aim is the following:
1.- newer and stable rom
2.- better performance
3. good and continual support for that rom.
all help welcome.

I know very little, but in my opinion, yes. Start with something tried and tested..and popular. Once you've gone through the process of rooting and flashing a new (to you) rom that's known to work, do the backups and have a look at the new stuff we'll never officially have, ics and jb. That backup will be there to give you a quick "Get me outta here" option.

also, you should read the FAQ to set it up properly.

I think the fastest is Mild wild sense ROM. But better try them by yourself because it depends what u need from the ROM etc. I personally use RSK 4.2.2 JB non-sense ROM because its the fastest JB (my opinion) and also I use it for about a week and didn't get any soft reboots. Good luck.

Hi
I'm new in rooting world! until now I read most of these ROMs threads:

&
[ROM/MOD 4.0.4] Marius.a--------------------------------------->[v3.5/8th/March/2013]
I like this ROM: "MildWild Based on Redux2 TEST" be cause It is fast/working all functions except GPRS in my case!! evrything work great and really fast! but after 2 weeks It get slow down!!!
"MildWild Based on Redux2 TEST" was simple at graphics and icons! but that was not important for me! in the other hand "[ROM/MOD 4.0.4] Marius.a" was better in graphics and have some small nice featuers too. but again my GPRS do not work under it and after some hours my WiFi do not work too and some reboot start ........ !!!
as all above friends said, better to test them yourself on your phone but in my opinion it will be wiser that first read most of the users posts/responses at those threads!

Those roms are working for me the best way. Phone is stable and without crashes even thru the fact im apps and tuning maniac
Definitely worth to try them at least.
Hi again m8s
From my last post until now, I was installing and testing this great ROM "MildWild GB-1 Based on Solstice ROM" from MildWild.
For 7 days, It worx great!!! I'm really happy to see not only a Custom ROM work without any problems but also it is much much better than original OS on HTC Desire!!!!!!
Well done MildWild :good:
If @Tobster2113 you did not test it yet, please test it and tell me about your experience! All features are working great and I install some app from Google Play without any problem! (GPRS and WiFi worx without any problems!)
Old School - I've tried most of them, Mildwild makes good roms, used to love his Oxygen ones.
Newer Roms - the RSK one is nice but the open/close app drawer has an non-standard icon and not easily changeable. All of the other JB ones seem very laggy and sooner or later back to Euroskank or a CM7.2.

These are obviously my own opinions and others may, and are welcome to disagree

leedroid is one the most stable i have used
I wouldn't really call it the best, but the fastest Sense ROM I have ever had is the one in my signature. I need a fast rom, so this is the best for me.
Recently Founded!
Hi again!
Recently I found this site http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/ . I was testing one of theirs Custom ROM for "ZTE Blade" mobile phone and It was so fast and stable.
Therefore, I will test this ROM http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Bravo_Info for "HTC Desire" too! If until now you did not test these ROMs, Maybe It will be help full!
Note: These ROMs use basic functions and features (To be fast and stable) so to do App 2 SD thing you may need to use this: [SCRIPTS]CronMod-INT2EXT (updated 02/28)
I hope this was helpful!
Good Luck
