I have rooted my htc desire. i am using the rom version:r2 zm4.1 ftl by redux 2. The rom in the main is brilliant. However, there is a bug and i dont know where to report it to. The bug is, when i have made or received a call and it may be a long call. The screen stays blank so i cannot disconnect my call. I have to take the battery out. And on occasion the phone screen does not activate when i press the power button. Sorry if this is not the right area to report a bug. I could not find a link on the developers website. Does anyone recommend any other roms to try.
Should just post this in the desire Q&A or general i think, would have gotten a better response but as a two year desire user i can give you a handful
Sandvold ICS beta- For a very long time my daily driver, has a few problems still i believe but it is amazing to see old hardware with android 4.0 running almost very smoothly on it, i like the a2sd set up on there also, it is very light also runs on cm7r2 hboot (i advise you get it adds extra internal space for app storage)
Cyanogenmod 7.2RC3- this is so close to a stable release cyanogenmod is probably my all time most favorite rom and is probably the fastest and works best with cm7r2 hboot
sebastiaan15's Runnymede AIO v6.0.4.3 Great sense based rom its very smooth and no bugs that i have found, i wasnt a fan of sense but these are my favorite three roms
Miui xj. Ever since I have that, I lost the wish to upgrade my desire...
You are right!
the cyanogenmod is (in my part) the best rom out there i used it for my htc wildfire and it worked fine! now i am using the koolsense rom because i wanted the htc sense theme back, because it will be removed it mostly all roms!
Still I use ROM for Desire from NeoPhyte. Everything works very well and without mistakes.

I have mildwild 4.1.9 and must say I am seriously impressed. I too downloaded MIUI but never got round to it after loving this one so much! I too no longer feel the need to upgrade handset, it feels like a new phone already!
Other roms I had shortlisted were runyrom, and leedroid.

Hey guys,
I'm using stock froyo 2.2 for my htc desire and that's why I'm facing low memory issue. I would like to know which rom will provide me with apps2sd feature so that I wont face any issue of low memory and also which rom is the closest to stock froyo as I know of roms that are featured pack till the simple application are not working.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Read the ROM threads, best ROM is open to debate as what one person might love another may hate...it's completely subjective
Yeah I understand, but is there one that is close to the stock froyo 2.2? I do not need it to be fast, I only need it to be stable.
Search 'rooted 2.10.405.2' as there are some already on here...
You mean this rom is just rooted and Apps2sd for 2.2 stock desire?
I am using MoDaCo at the moment it's about as close to stock as you can get, but rooted and with an option for A2SD. They have a online kitchen as well so you can customize what you want installed in your ROM.
So how is it so far in terms of performance for you?

use LeeDroid and be happy. You'll get a lot of help in the LeeDroid thread at XDA, too. It's Sense with a lot of improvements.
LeeDroid? Saw from the thread there are quite a number of issues with the rom.

Hi,
i just got a Desire ,and im gonna root it put on a new rom...but i see in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328 ,that there are a whole lot of roms and was wondering what is the diff between them? I mean to go through all the faq of those roms would take all day,so plz help ? so basically im looking for a ROM suggestion (and an explanation for it)
There are few differences between each other in each section. Things like some have A2SD, some have DATA2SD and so on. Some are faster, some are smoother. To be honest, if you know what you want then just try each rom from that section. A rom is a personal preference. If you go for Non-Sense/Gingerbread, try Oxygen or CyanogenMod. Sense roms, I see a lot of people going for LeeDroid. Sense HD, I tried Cool-z. Try them out.
ohhh my godddddddddd.. another one eh.. and now not only you are asking for our opinion to base yours upon, but also telling us that you'd rather waste our time to save yours.. by the way, there is a forum search button, do lean to use it. Much apprechiated.

Hey guys
I'm flashing my mom's Desire (she has no need for any extra features above the desire's stock ones) so I'm wondering if you have any recomendations on a very stable and fast ROM?
I would have installed the stock desire rom, but since I rooted and s-offed the device already it seems a waste to lose it.
Thanks alot for your help
Oh and Sense is a must, she just learned how to use it, if i give her an AOSP rom she will have to learn to use it again...

Why would you root it at all when she doesn't need any extra functions? Also, you choose wrong timing to do so with official Gingerbread release in the upcoming weeks.
But, if I was doing so, I'd flash AuraxTSense 8.4.
sorry to barge in but i was wondering the same question! i know whats the OP need, he bought a new phone and giving the Desire to his mom. am i right?
even if you are not, i just bought SGS2 today and giving my Desire to my mum. need recommendation too. the most stock look and can be stable and no performance decrease in a long run. cuz i am gonna be away from her when college opens, so i dont want the phone to have trouble.
S-offed, rooted, Cm7 r2 hboot. but i'll go back to stock hboot maybe.

2.10.405.2 INIT.D ROM v2.0
This version is mostly identical to the first except it has a minor mod to enable init.d scripts. No scripts are included, so this won't affect anything in itself. However, it gives much greater flexibility for mods, and is required if you want to make some of the changes below. This version of the ROM doesn't include the radio, so you must flash an up to date version yourself if you don't have one already. You do not have to install the first ROM before this. Updates: latest Superuser app and new boot image (closer to stock).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=404595&d=1284981062 <- A2SD+ highly recommended so that your mum doesn't run out of room after a week of using the phone because contacts, emails and other app data also eat internal storage. Hit me up if you don't know how to partition her SD card to have an EXT4 partition
Basically, if you just flash the first two download links in the quote, you'll have rooted ROM that is entirely stock. No extra features or anything that isn't in the HTC RUU. Then if you flash the powersaving mod, nothing changes featurewise but internally the phone will use less power and her battery will last longer. She won't need to do a thing. With A2SD+, all you need to do is go through installed apps every now and again and move them to the internal storage (as the phone is "tricked" into installing apps on the EXT4 partition instead of on the phone itself, which means more apps available to be installed but just as fast as normal).
Wait, it's S-OFF and rooted? Why not give RCMix S Evolutionary Sense v2.0 a go?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570
I've been using it personally since the end of May. No problems at all, just lacking updates (but the developer is busy withj real life, so that's that)
It's using the new Sensation and 2.3.3 Android version and, it's sense, and, it looks sexy.
EDIT:
Also, excuse my tutorial-like post above. If you can S-OFF and root the phone chances are you know half of that!

It was my phone for less than a week over the easter, rooted, s-offed installed rcmix v8 then I got myself my new Desire HD and been using that (sig).
For the Desire I installed RCMix's rom since i didn't mind any bugs, restarts and force closes since i thought i would update it on regular basis with the new versions. But as soon as I got my new phone, I left the country (student in uk) and just came back this week for holidays, and my mom has been complaining with reliability so I'm returning her phone to the most stable build of 'stock-like' rom.
If you mean flashing a RUU and then rooting and s-offing that just seems a bit of a waste of time. Since it's already rooted and s-offed i would like to keep it that way.

Read above and the official GB for desire is unknown time away from now, HTC if i recall corectly have loads of problems with the lack of memory and they still havent given a release date. So as far as I know GB might come in months.

I might give it a try but im using sense 3.0 on my DHD and even with the newer CPU and more memory and more frequent updates it still has a few glitches. I searched through the thread and it seems that the ROM still requires some bug fixes (ppl talking about bugs with headset and other small bits and bobs)
Thanks everyone for your replies, I will check out the rom's and see which one will suit her best!
No probs.
I'm using a D2EXT modded version and I don't have any problems with the headset. The v2.0 is pretty ironed out, 2.1 is where people seem to be having issues. But for your mum I guess the Twppic74 ROM would be best, definitely!
@theguybefore Eh, but they're all pretty clear that you need the Cyanogen hboot? I guess you're right!

That's old info. Latest news is that it passed QC and should be released in the next three weeks.
Forget 3.0 etc port stuff etc., you know you need rooted stock. She doesn't care for Sense 3.0 but cares if bluetooth doesn't work with handsfree.
Pretty sure bluetooth works ok with this ROM. It's hit and miss and dependant on hardware. The RCMixS ROM as I said has bee really ironed out. There's also the InsertCoin ROM which he's more up to date with advancements!
Hope you find the Teppic74 ROM well! Served me well for many months.

Superb ROM - Once I'd managed to install it (only recently acquired a Desire from a Hero upgrade) it's been excellent.
I can't find fault: Bluetooth (inc car kit), camera, video, iPlayer, GPS, Speed etc etc all running nice and smooth.
The only thing is that the arcade boot screen might not be to your Mom's liking - although boot time is good.

Hi what are the main differences between androdomus ICS and virtous quattro ICS?
Which of these is better?
Yes there are differences.
Difficult to say wich one is the best, because there are not enought advanced to see.
Virtuous team add always a lot of tweaks and personalization, but there are still some graphical bugs witch are annoying...
At this day, I would advise you to go to A9 until...
Says someone on Quattro and witch LOOOOVES it . Where is the logic?
Quattro has a lot less passive update schedule as opposed to Andromadus. If you don't want to flash new versions all the time I'd suggest you stay away from Quattro.
In fact, you should stay away from ICS altogether till there's a final version and all the quirks have been figured out.
Can we hope for official version of ICS?
I have no problem to flash any update.
Which rom is more stable?
As far as I know, we have not yet been officially denied an upgrade to ICS, but it is probably not going to happen.
I'd say that both versions are equally stable (though I haven't tried andromadus v9 yet). However quattro is currently plagued with very annoying graphical glitches as far as the launcher is concerned. It doesn't seem to impact performance and can be fixed easily, but still.
As far as I know, we have not yet been officially denied an upgrade to ICS, but it is probably not going to happen.

Nevermid what a pity.
Maybe in the next quattro's version this issue with graphical glitches will be repaired...!Im waiting for it
You can install the RC now.
Upgrading just take 10 minutes and no wipe data needed (just dalvik cache).

And I wouldn't use htcdev to unlock your phone, use the Wiki for Htc Vision as your starting point, In addition to you voiding your warranty,the official unlocking seems problematic and you still cant' flash another radio.
ebreo: you should try both for yourself and decide. but a warning. if camera is of great importance to you then you should stay away from ICS for now. The camera is not great and very unreliable. Dont trust is to take pics of your childs first steps. But that is what you get when you deal with betas. At least there is a camera. And no matter what you should keep a working GB rom on your sd card. just incase ICS for fubar on your phone you can atleast flash a GB rom and have a working phone.
bombadier: Love the pic. Bubbles was awesome. Wish that tv series was still on.

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.

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.
