No I haven't noticed any of those problems, the only problem is that you can't record in 720p HD unless you flash RCMix3D Tweaks wich is really nice.

I flash new roms every 4 days or so but I got to say coredroid 9.4 offers the best of everything. Battery life is great, lots of tweaks and personalization, blazing fast. One of the best roms I've tried since rcmix. I highly recommend it.

What is the difference between the two Roms(HTC Desire and Desire HD) , in relation to performance and functionality.
Which sense ROM would you recommend that I get , and why?
i suggest insertcoin 1.9.5 with d2ext . flashed it today and its blazing fast
I have tried LeeDrOiD and also ReflexTSense.
I use A2SD+ for both.
To me, the HD ROM is not too impressive except for all those candies. It's a bit more lag than the LeeDrOiD and lags very badly when installing apps (because of A2SD+).
Also, HD ROM gets hot very very quickly - and that makes my setCPU keeps on reminding me about the temperature, bit annoying as I can't play my game peacefully.
That's my experience with these particular ROMs.
I have tried many rom but ownhe V.4.2 is very good, with the battery two days and is very fast

It's not only because of eyecandy (though nice to have, isn't it?). HTC put sooo much small improvements in usability of HD ROMs like better handling for copy&paste, selection in email, homescreen placement, customization (sound, background, themes,...) and small details in all HTC apps besides of including free offline maps and new widgets (great one for me is "tasks"), that i don't want to switch back to sense1. Even if sense2 would be a bit slower - which isn't for me (with coolexe's HD ROM). I also overclocked to 1190 and all games are running smooth as butter and phone doesn't get hot. No problems with battery (running skype and 3g all the day with some gaming, surfing, ...) - i had to charge stock ROM each day same as with HD ROM now.
For me it's worth trying HD ROMs. Don't want to miss it...

So as the topic says, what do you guys think is the best gingerbread rom out? I tried AR HD 4.0 beta3 but it was not smooth so i switched back to AR HD 3.2.
Now there a like half a dozen gingerbread roms, so which do you think is the best overall, smooth, good battery, basically a daily usable rom. It seems coredroid 4.6 is respectable, and now theres AR HD 4.0 beta4, blazingly GB by capy, cm7 versions, etc. I would test them all but It takes me hours to DL one rom. I know, crazy. My edge powered home network is capped at like 50kbs top speed. BTW i would prefer sense roms. use to love vanilla android, but now i just cant go back. That dialer alone is hideous,lol.

For me, capy's rom is quite blazingly and it has the fastest support by far. Add the latest radio to it and you'll have a top notch DHD running Gingerbread.

CM7 ftw.
Tried it, you'll love it
Yeah, I'd have to go with CM7 as well.
Try CM7 and MIUI, they are completely different from each other, I'm using MIUI personally and love it, but it's all down to personal preference really. I find I get bored of one after a few weeks then try another.
Just tried a few roms some of you mentioned, theyre all awesome. Also anyone who hasn't tried the desire s DHD port from theintelligent should give it a shot. Possibly the smoothest gingerbread rom out there. The only thing is the text is slightly larger since its a desire s port, but not a biggie imo.
guys suggest me, Android Revolution HD 4.0 β 4 or CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V4.8???
btw former is still on 2.3.2 while later is on 2.3.3...

If you want a really stable one with Sense then you can better flash Desire S DHD(2.3.3) then Revolution HD 4.
I don't have any experience with CoreDroid.

Sense: RHD 4.0
No-Sense: CM7 which I´m just addicted to since I came from RHD
Last week I flashed my first custom ROM. I wanted performance infront of visual changes because my lack of experience. A friend of mine told me to try out the Android Revolution HD 4.0 β 4.
Amazing ROM! It is like comparing the Playstation 1 with a Playstation 3, fast and smooth and very easy to use.

Hi there
So quite simply, what rom do you use and what's great about it and what's not so good?
I've got ARHD at the moment, rock stable, battery is good (it usually idles at about 3ma) and has the ability to over/under clock.
I'm thinking of trying some form of CM7, but which one? What do you think of rcmix? I need a rom that's good enough for every day use (not experimental, I will still be calling, sending sms and browsnig) Help me please
If you want to use something like CM7 or let's say something like pure google, try [email protected] by adwinp.
This ROM has the best performance of all, especially the graphics performance is amazing.
Battery life should be about the same as on other roms.

CM7 is good and fast , didn't find it all that amazing though missed the functionality of my camera! So I started on the same journey to find a good rom , stable oc'able , with good support and regular updates fixes..
In the end I have settled on beatmod gingersense , running the 1.2 version for now shortly moving it to 1.3 ..
Mind you this is all if you like sense .

Hey!
I'm using LeeDroid HD a long time. At first the Froyo version and now Gingerbread.
I was very sceptic about sense, in my first attempts to use it it was extremely laggy and used to freeze and force close at least once a day.
So I tried other launchers, CM 6 and 7, but in the end I went back to LeeDroid. His last version, V3.1.3 with the 3.1.4 kernel is very stable, smoother than all other roms I used and Sense is doing very well, I was surprised. What is important to me is a good battery life and the battery lasts up to 5 days, depending how often and long I use the phone.
That was a big problem of CM. The battery drained very fast, although I liked the idea of a clean Android.
Hope I could give you some impressions
Maybe this poll + thread will help you out.
I'm on Android Revolution HD btw, absolutely great rom
I use LEVO 2.5V
I think is wonderful rom
DeSiRe HD -> XDA App
Currently on ARHD, but I'm going to try something differnet this weekend, sticking with a Sense mod, just my personal preference. Think I'll try either RCMix3D or Honeysense 4.
I used Revolution HD for a long while and it's an excellent rom. However, it becomes a problem when you want to move from the stock look to something more personal, because many mods come separately and overwrite files previous mods changed. I recently switched to HoneySense and despite not being so mature it has the look I want (no more custom zips at last) and works pretty well with minor flaws. MIUI also has a place in my heart although I'd miss some Sense goodies if I switched, which is what keeps me away for now.
I hope it helps.
+1 for honeysense v5.0 battery excellent speed excellent and very pretty.

After using CM7 for several months, as well as a brief stint with LeeDroid 3.1.3, I'm back to stock.
CM7 + LordMod kernel, despite flashing updated radios and RILs, wrought havoc on my reception and GPS. I dropped 50% of my calls, and GPS took ages to lock on (even after using Fast Reboot + FasterFix). Moreover, my 3G connection would drop out constantly, which was a PITA when streaming Last.fm and AudioGalaxy.
LeeDroid solved my reception issues, but it would spontaneously reboot and get caught in a boot cycle until I pulled the battery. This happened at least twice a day.
So it's back to stock for me. I miss the freedom of custom roms, but when it comes to my primary communication device, I need stability. Being on KT in Korea, I haven't got the GB OTA update yet (booooo), and I can't download games from the market.
It's been a while where ppl always compare the best desire rom out there... let's discuss what rom u guys recommended for everyday use... I'm currently using Oxygen rom, fast stable and hell lot of spaces, and since i'm starting to use 3G, i gonna switch to sense rom, needed sense widget and stuff, might get insertcoin rom... what about u guys?
I'm currently using InsertCoin Sense 2.1/3.0 1.1.4 and although it is great to look at, I perhaps wouldn't recommend it for everyday use as in the new version I have been experiencing some lag and unfortunately (and probably most importantly) it hasn't been too great with battery life.. although I haven't used SetCPU to try and improve it.
I would almost be tempted to go for a FROYO based ROM, but I think what you'll have to do is test a few and see how they perform for you.
I'm running InsertCoin 1.1.4 as well and I'm having a blast. It does lag every now and then, but my battery life's brilliant - I usually have about 30% left when I go to bed. I'm probably not the heaviest user on the planet, though.
I'm using SetCPU though, so that might be why. It's set to 499-1190 (smartassV2) with a Screen Off rule for 245-460. Seems to do the trick.

gotta agree, it's really nice and smooth rom. check it out. but insert coin is ok also
Can highly recommend oxygen.
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
I've been experimenting with ROMs for a few months now. Here is what I've found:
1) The most stable, light, low power ROM that I've used is MIUI. It has everything you need out of the box.
2) If you don't like the MIUI interface (read: like an iPhone and Android combined), the next best is Redux 1.2. Very low power, but very basic. It is basically a shell as I didn't like a lot of the stock components. I had to get a new launcher, dialer, contact manager and SMS app.
3) Sense-based ROMs feel nice until the battery dies... which happens way too quickly. The stock ROM was the most stable for me, I just wanted Gingerbread. All of the Sense-based ROMs that were non-stock seemed to buggy for me.
I'm a computer engineer, so I don't mind playing around with technology, but MIUI and the stock ROM were the only ones that I'd recommend to somebody less technical (or somebody that just wants the smartphone to work and not have to constantly look for fixes and / or ways to make the phone work the way it should out of the box) for daily use.
Yes I'm using that Rom too and can't fault it. It's fast for a sense 3 Rom.
Currently on MIUI 1.8.26.
Cant comment on the batt yet since i just flashed this yesterday but hell yeah, its fast.....

I have to say I disagree with almost all of that
It's based in cm7 so its one of the heaviest aosp Roms around.
To compare, miui xj, with my brutal stripping, I got down to 90MB bare bones. That's 30 MB bigger than dGB and 25MB bigger than redux in the same state.
Also imho, cm7 is heavier on battery, ergo so is miui. Redux is better power wise, although a miui custom kernel could help them there.

oops my bad thought i was in the forum >.<
Mods move this please
Whichever you choose, you won't be satisfied.lol
i offer to you install the revelotion roms ...
satiRM further
it really depends on what you want. lets say you want stock looking android GB so in that case your choice should "Android Revolution HD" 6.X.X I was personally using this rom for a while never had a single problem with it also battery life was very good. and also you might consider Cyanogen MOD 7.2 also GB rom with no HTC sense thats up to you Cyanogen is smooth and never had problems with it but ADW launcher which is used in Cyanogen is not that stable peace of software you would like it to be... anyway I think any GB based custom roms should be stable smooth and bugless... and its not that hard to try several custom roms and then choose your best...
now talking about ICS thats a bit different story there are lots to choose from and almost every ICS cutom rom states that its fully working but in reality I never found ICS rom which is really FULLY WORKING I would call them "almost fully working" because you can found small maybe not that important but still some glitches... Some camera effects may not work, some parts of HTC sense might be little bit buggy but of course nothing serious...
i did tried "blackout", "trickdroid", "sabsa prime" all of them was fine to use daily had some small glitches I mentioned before but no big problems keep in mind that memory "RAM" usage is a lot higher with ICS keep in mind if you multitasking alot but shouldn't be a big problem... actually tried to "break" my phone with intense usage like, listening to music, skyping, browsing web, runing games at the time, installing app from market but phone seemed able to handle all that just fine and thats good
and every ICS rom I tried had one annoying thing there was no "facebook for htc sense" so you must use that crappy facebook app to get your friend profiles synced... that really suck...
and you have an option to use "jellybean" i did tried "jellyTime" r16 had no problems with it but as much as I read about others expierence I would not consider "JT" to be stable and good choise for a new user who just wants to be sure his phone runs flawless...
I'm at moment using "sabsa prime 6.5" stayed with it because it was last rom I tried lol
sorry for my bad english
Now I need to figure out if I like sense or not I guess. thus far Jelly Bean has been my favorite on my play despite the fact that like half the stuff doesn't work >.< So we'll see...
Thx for all the places to start.

Have you ever try CodefireX? The best ever!
iam using Cosmic Sandwich V2 after tersting Trickdroid and JellyTime. IMO its a solid experience for those who like a snappy UI (Miui) and some of the Sense goodies.
In my opinion, skip ICS and go to Jelly Bean. Google Now, some other fun things, you'll be glad you did.
Pick a flavor (there's many options these days). I'd go with CM10 - either codefireX or Jellytime with the KangBang-Kernel v0.1 (separate thread by synergye in the dev forum)
Try coredroid multy device sense 3.5 is the best rom everything works fine even the wifi ,camera are brilliant all rom is great

There appear to be a couple of ICS/sense roms on the forum for the DHD. Most appear to have bugs and issues for one reason or other. Is there a fairly stable ICS with sense rom good for every day use?
I've been loving JellyTime R19. Been up for days without any issues. It has been exceptional.
I have flashed quite a few roms till now and have had mixed experience. Among the ICS roms, I found Trickdroid, Blackout and Nik Project X to be the best. I loved all three of them and currently using Trickdroid. I did not try too many JB roms but like Jelly time.
If you are looking for a stable ROM I would recommend CyanogenMod 7 - it runs GB.
If you want to experiment and don't mind some quirks then I would say JellyTime - it runs JB.
I started on CM7 when I first got my HTC, tried LeeDroid, another one I don't remember, back to CM7 and most recently through several revisions of JellyTime.
Of course YMMV, if you ask 10 people you will get 10 different answers. So you just have to experiment - that's the reason I went through all those different ROMs. I found that I like the CM mods (JT is based on CM10).
