[Q] What ROM to use? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is for a friend who has a Desire HD.
He had cyanogenmod for a while but an earlier buggier version.
He's now sick of it, and ready to move to an iphone.
I'm looking for a perfectly stable ROM with ICS if possible.
Recommendations?

u can definitely recommend miui(gb) or the primo-s by proxuser(ics)

Ice Cold Sandwich is a great rom. Been using it for a few months and all the instability and other issues have been pretty much ironed out by now. I believe it's one of the more popular ICS roms for the desire

Rom stability has alot to do with the device and the user. So it will be alot of trial and error. ICS will have bugs until we get the source and an update from HTC. A search would have told you this.

Is gingerbread 2.3 officially out for the Desire yet?

I have tried numerous custom 2.3 roms but each one eventually causes me a headache in the end. I honestly do appreciate all the hard work going into these roms but unless somebody can point me in the direction of a 99.9% troublefree 2.3 I will have to stick to 2.2 for the time being.
no, 2.3 is not officially out yet, i know the roll out time in the UK as at some point at the end of the year (after all the naff branding the carriers have to put on them)
end of this month (or sometime in the next few months) is the most proposed theory at the moment.
when the official 2.3 release/RUU etc. comes out that'll probably lead to a few more stable roms IMO
AdamG's Oxygen and his DevNull have both been 100% trouble free for me.. Tried one of those?

I'm running CM7 and have no complaints whatsoever!! It's very customizable, has some great goodies and is very smooth and fast! And upgradable with no wipes!!

How long have you been using the rom if you don't mind me asking? It's just after a week or 2 I start getting problems with gingerbread roms.
Gingerbread update for Desire by the end of May
"Three, a carrier based in UK has responded to one of its customers saying that the Gingerbread update for Desire would arrive by the end of May on their carrier locked phones." If that's true we should have it here on xda soon

The popular stock android roms out right now are very stable and if you do happen to find a bug, there's usually aa update within the week to fix it.
I'm running ReflexS 2.0.7 and it's actually running very fast considering that it's running sense. I'm running it with cm7 hboot but it worked great with stock hboot too. I find that you really just have to try a few roms to try and get a feel for which one works best with your phone and your needs.

I wouldn't bet on the end of may.
They have always been mentioning end of month but june, not may.
Its about time for the update to come out we waited so long now and all other models have gotten just do it already im sick of waiting.
Honestly, if you don't mind losing Sense, then AdamG's Oxygen and Devnull are top of the shop. Both updated now to 2.3.4 and as hack-free as possible.
DevNull is as plain-jane as you can get, I personally prefer the extended power controls and pull-down notifications menu on Oxygen.
I've been using Oxygen since the first 2.3 build (since end of February) and have had one restart in that time and no freezes.
I have it running with LauncherPro 0.86 and it is smooth, bug-free and has very good battery over Froyo stock. I hammer it with wifi browsing, couple of hours of mp3 a day and my office has terrible signal. I generally finish the day on 40%+.

Well, when the Desire came out at first it was the best Android device around.
Add to that Sense is the least bad of all the custom UIs out there.
And like me, they might not have tried an AOSP rom until after having a Desire for a while.

I agree with you.Word.
Leedroid 3.06 works very well as stock gingerbread with sense, i used it for a while with no issues. But.... my absolute favorite which has not given any issues is insertcoin 1.05 stock. it uses cm7 boot and ultra stable

[Q] Best ICS rom?

Hey guys, im new to all this rooting and rom stuff, so sorry if this is really basic stuff.
I want to root and put a custom rom on my droid inc 2, and I think I understand how to root now.
Now, I'm trying to decide on a ROM to flash after i root. I absolutely hate sense, and think its really clunky. I've been looking at the ICS rom thread, and somewhere between pages 50 and 100 something, people start talking about CM 9 for the inc 2, and all these different developers different roms, and I was thinking, which one is the best?
So, here is what I would like to see in a ROM, to help you reccomend one for me.(listed in order of importance)
-Smoothness
-Good Battery Life.
-CRT Animation. (I know, a little silly, but i want it so badly)
-Ability to customize different aspects without flashing too many files/lots of terminal stuff. e.g. boot animation, status bar colors.
If you know a ROM that fufills most of these requirements of mine that is not ICS, please let me know. Thanks.
Until today,no best,no perfect ics for Inc2.
Many rom is alpha,and beta,even don't have complete drivers for ics.
Miui all the way friend, its very smooth and customization are incredible. No flashing to customize just download to go. I recommend looking at the lock screen page that alone is enough to try it out.

Been using latest cm10 (jb). I'd say that fits what you're looking for. I'm a basic user. Battery life far improved over previous releases. Aeroevan ftw. Can't go wrong with his stuff, cm9 or 10.

Seeing as this was about a year ago, I assume you found a rom by now. That being said, I will be flashing the IC Tazz rom (sense free version) on my wifes phone tonight. Very stable and everything works. The cm9 and 10 roms have problems with cameras and audio issues. All roms have quirks, but some have more and more severe than others.

[Q] Looking To Buy a Phone and is there a One X Jelly Bean Rom?

Hello All,
I am looking to buy a HTC One X, and I was wondering if anyone could name well supported Jelly Bean ROMS that have all basic features working. All help would be appreciated, and I can still be swayed to buy another phone, so if you have one for sale, please post it!
Thank you for all help!

Thanks for the suggestions, and as far as the one x's performance on custom roms, is it significantly better than on stock?
HTC will release an official JB ROM soon (they have already announced it, so it is just a matter of time) as for CM10 and other AOSP JB ROMs, they are pretty fast and stable, but not that good when it comes to battery life, and camera quality.

On the latest Android 4.0.4 + Sense 4.1 the user experience and overall performance is pretty good, therefore the difference between that and AOSP JB ROMs is not significant

I find the CM10 UI significantly more responsive than stock Sense UI. But, there are bugs in CM10, you'd probably do well to wait until HTC releases their JB-based update, then CM10 will get fresh stuff too.

I have been running Slim Bean since it's release on the 21st and have found no fault with it whatsoever. This is after I moved from the Modaco Ir5 Vanilla (an ICS port).

[Q] which rom is best?

hi everbody
Please recommend mi any rom for DHD.
thanks
Ice Cold Sandwich by LC.
Dude roms are different for everyone. What may be great to me may be crap to you. Many love Jellybean I utterly hate it.
You need to take few out for a test drive and see what you like. The only advice I can give you is
Gingerbread roms are solid and stable
ICS and Jellybean still have kinks being worked on tho some are considered solid now.
Read the last few pages of a rom to get an idea as to where they stand.
Hmm hearing the faint sounds of Zels keys, gotta go.
sent from an Ice Cold Imspire
If you are jealous every time a new version of Android comes out and you want to upgrade to it, you'll probably want a shiny new jelly bean rom like JellyTime. It gets updated very very regularly which I find exciting, there's something fun about updating at least once a week...
But if you absolutely need your phone to run all the time or just don't like the idea of having to update all the time, Reinaldo's suggestion above is very stable and you won't have to update very often (or ever?)

There is no best, only better
IMHO: For my DHD nothing can beat OFFICIAL codefireX Jellybean 1012. "synergye" is a genious! I really cant believe the speed and smoothness of this ROM. BTW, I've tried every other ROM.
thats interesting gonna try the codefireX JB
Except the crappy sound, jellytime is a good rom. I'll probably stick with it for a while.

sabsa prime v7.0
I tested Virtuos Infinity and I like it but now I'm with Sabsa Prime but I don't like the sound level of notifications and the camera...
Seriously? This has to be the 99999th thread like this. Experiment with different ROMs and see which one you like best.
But for me:
Sense: Either Android Revolution HD or Virtuous Infinity.
Non Sense: LC IceCold or JellyTime.
Gonna try CodefireX and PACeman at some point (flashing PACeman tomorrow at school )
DESTROY THEM WITH LAZ0RZ
I have used NIK "Project X" and Blackout and have had good experiences. Currently using "Project X" and it is great ROM. Haven't had any issues till now.
Trickdroid v3 works well for me as a daily driver.... very fast response, sense4a
I find myself flipping between Blackout ICS and Jellytime. Currently sticking Jellytime because as the bugs get hammered out it gets better and better.
For me trickdroid it is the best rom at the moment. I'm using it already 3 months.

[Q] ROM Advice for Non-Tech Phone

Hi All,
My wife lives her Desire Z, but she is pretty tired of the slow crash-prone Stock ROM.
Can the community please recommend a good ROM:
Stable
Sense is good, but not required. She is used to Sense...
Speed is not the most important. Stability is.
She is not very technical, and will not tinker...
Thanks!

Sensei by Coolos. It's Sense 4 lite, based on Ice Cream Sandwhich 4.0.x, and it's fast, stable, and smooth. One I keep going back to. I should have a link to it in my signature, I'm too lazy to find the link currently .-.
Thanks a lot, will have a look!
