Hello everyone!
I am new to android platform, and those days i was reading a lot about custom ROM's. Today i bought new HTC Desire, which comes with Android 2.1. I want to install some custom ROM, which is on Android 2.2. I readed a lot about openDesire, and i want to ask you, can you tell me which ROM is the best?
2.1. on my phone is fast, but i watched some videos on youtube, that is running 2.2, and it seems a lot faster than 2.1.
Btw i would like that custom ROM have HTC Sense.
Thanks!
First of all, OpenDesire doesn't have Sense. There really is no "best" rom. I like Pinky's rom, but others prefer LeeDroid or even different ones. There are a lot of roms with Sense and most are pretty good.
Www.modaco.com
Modaco custom rom by paul new release worth a thought.
I'm flashing my first rom tonight, but unfortunately have to downgrade h boot first

For me it has to be Pirate Rum rom (download through Rom manager). It has virtually no bugs I can see and a great battery life. A very understated rom in my opinion.
I tried pirate rum last night, froyo sense version, and got stuck in a bootloop.. could be something I'm doing but ill try pink and let you know what I think

Can someone recommend me a rom, and give a proper guide to it: I want it to have HTC Sense, nice battery life, and that GPU+ hack, there's a thread about it.
Good battery life?
Forget it.
For the rest try Modaco custom rom r9

Leedroid is the way to go. If only ppl could learn to read for themselfs to form a personal opinion, we wouldn't have the same pointless topic in here every week.

New Pirate Rum !!!
h t t p ://code.google.com/p/piraterum/downloads/list
PS. U need the latest Radio.
The best ROM ever !!! Arrr! )
There is no BEST ROM, only the MOST COMFORTABLE ROM for yourself
Undisputed best ROM for HTC Desire is MiUi
Over last year or more, I have tried several custom ROMs for HTC Desire, from LeeDroid, Cyanogen, ownhere, NeoPhyte and few others, but since I came across MiUi, I have not looked for anything else because this just simply is the BEST ROM for HTC Desire.
Have a look at it for yourself -
miui-au.com
Strange that Oxygen has not been mentioned in this thread, it is a really great stable ROM (Battery consumption is good too).
I suggest you to give a try on it.
Note that for the moment the camera recording is not working (have a look at the first 2 posts in the oxygen thread).
I really like the Cyanogenmod 7 (build 25)
Works really good so far.

I find that Oxygen isn't that stable at all or fast and a little laggy. No idea if it's just my phone but it seems that way with they others as well. I am going to try it again tonight to see if it has been improved since the last time I used it.
MIUI-Au is an extremely fast rom, faster than the other Froyo roms. I guess selecting a rom for yourself you need to test them and see which you like.

all ginger roms will remain laggy until right drivers come in.
who ever says its not lagging is blind or is used to lag by using sense rom
I used to use miui, then went to lee droid, then back to miui. I think I have.found perfection in insert coin by baad newz. Best battery for a sense based rom.
Just remembered: used alex hd also for a while but there were way too many lags after a few days. The rom might be in its infancy then
I am using NeoPhyTe Mod (1.8) and this fits the best to my needs and my taste...
I want to flash my first ROM ever and ive been trying to read a bit and decide on the most appropriate ROM for me. I want something fast and with a good battery life and from what Ive been reading Absolution seems to offer both these things really well. One thing I dont think im willing to give up right now however is the ability to sync facebook images and information onto my contacts. Do Absolution and other Cyanogen based ROMS allow us to do that? Any one with any other suggestions that you think may be easier for me to handle for a first ROM? Also, is there a way for me to backup my current stock rooted ROM so I go back to it in case I dont like CM?
If you want cyanogenmod based ROMs, for me blackICE ROM is the best by far.
If you want to stick to official releases for our DHD, Android Revolution or wait for LeeDroiD to update his ROM
If your want sense 3.5, in my opinion SmartDroiD is my ROM of choice,it really is the best ROM I've ever used, but there is ER3BUS ROM and RcMiX Runny. Currently I'm on ER3BUS as I wanted to test it and I've ended up loosing my USB cable so I'm stuck atm but I will be returning to SmartDroiD soon as I can.

Lol, just thinking out of the box here.why not just download the ROM on your phones browser and then flash it? I've had a desire for 2 years and think out of the 1000 times I've flashed, only 3-5 of those roms was put on there from my computer..

Yea, when you first install a custom ROM after making your choice, obviously you will have clockwordmod recovery on the phone. From here you can do backups (referred to as nandroid backups) you can also initiate this from ROM manager.
Good luck intrepid Modder.
Also my recommendations are
Sense - Android Revolution HD. It's stock Sense look and feel with good battery life and amazing support, practically 24hour.
AOSP - CM7 - Again amazing support and a great experience. It can link your FB profile pics, but don't expect and decent resolution.
Bleeding Edge - LC ICS Beta 4.5 - Great if you want to try the new flavour of Android but really not for the new modder.
Thanks a lot for the help guys. Knowing that I can back up my stock rom is particularly comforting. Im hoping il have enough time this weekend to get around to doing this. By then Il make sure to look around for some videos of each of those ROMs in order to better choose my first
I feel that Absolution and Blackice are roughly on par with each other, and both are excellent. I'm very curious about Wilkyyy's reasoning...
If your only serious criteria are speed and battery life, the Oxygen 2.3.2 port can't be beaten IMHO. It has far fewer "options" than the former two ROMs though, and there is no CM7-style theming. If you use an alternate launcher like Go, though, then this isn't really an issue or even very relevant.

Everyone will tell you what they think is the best rom out there. It is all a matter of opinion and taste. I would suggest watching the threads and see which ones are up to date with features that are appealing to you and try them each out for a few days/hours/minutes etc until you settle into one that makes you happy. There are tons of quality roms and many that are inactive as far as development too. Just be sure to back up your go to or stock rom before experimenting.
i would say virtuous affinity-v1.48.0 its fast and dont use much battery
i think you can use mybackup pro to backup your stock rom
but i think you need to root it first
Don't think twice, perfect ROM for DHD is Android Revolution HD™ 6.3.1.

How's that, chief? You can use launcher themes to change the look of your phone interface, if you're really "into" that kind of thing. Yeah, sure, your settings menu won't change, but if you're gonna lose sleep over that, then your problems run much deeper in my opinion.
Another alternative for Oxygen is the kitchen, which has already been done by at least one user.

I think you should try a whole bunch of them. Absolution is awesome IMHO.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Android Revolution and Absolution are my two favorites... Can't go wrong with either and you get a mix of flavors, Sense (ARHD) and CM7 based (Absolution). I randomly switch between these two but Absolution has more development and updates happening than does ARHD.
thanks i tried absolution ... amazing but the one true downfall has been horrible wifi ... will try a new radio and see if that fixes things though

Hey guys
Currently I got MIUI installed on the incredible sexy HOX but want to change in hope to get better battery life and a more stable device.
Seems like I want to go with a sense-based ROM (the 4 mentioned in the title). I read through their changelog but can't really differentiate them....
so whats the difference between ARHD and InsertCoin?
ViperX seems to have some neat tweaks and mods/themes..... and Renovate is more or less a AOSP looking sense-rom... but how well do they perform on battery life and smoothness?

Have u tried maximus 3.0 I have tried the per. Version and it is faaaaaaaaast with battery life improvement
ARHD : everything is stock nothing fancy
ViperX: if u want tweaks and customization there you have it.
IC : didn't try this ROM sorry but all I know is that it is like viper x but less tweaks
Advice: flash viperX + ROM cleaner + foux6m

Thanks for your reply! I guess it also comes down which kernel I'm going to use... and foux6m might just be the winner!
AR-HD:
Most stable for me, everything works, it looks very solid, clean and nice, just like it was intended to look.
Battery is really great, it just works and that's what this ROM is supposed to do.
When I'm tired of other ROMs or get any problems with others this is what I flash back to, guaranteed to just work and be stable, if you need a reliable daily driver, I recommend you use this.
ViperX:
First of all, no offense to developers/designers but I really do hate the themed red looking icons and whatnot, and all of those other themed stuff but if you just use stock themes it's a great ROM with great tweaks that would suit the ROM to your needs, I've used this for a week but I noticed the battery wasn't really compared to AR-HD, if you depend on things like volume controls, tweaking the keyboard, removing the arrows or editing the status bar and assigning actions to the buttons I recommend this.
InsertCoin:
Used InsertCoin for a few days, I thought there would a nice amount of tweaks but I was disappointed, no offense to developers but with all those updates it seems like this ROM is kind of forced, nothing bad though.
Renovate:
First ROM I've flashed on my One X, the hybrid Sense/Senseless doesn't work for me though, if you really want something fast, I suggest you get an AOSP ROM.
After trial, must be ARHD
I was on ARHD, then moved to ViperX because of all the customization options. Didn’t notice much a of a difference in battery life. ARHD is good, but as far as customization goes, its no better than stock sense, unless you want to manually find various different mods and flash them through CWM. As for theming in ViperX, you don't have to use their color schemes and icons, I use the stock sense look (visually there is absolutely no difference).
I can fullly recommend ARHD :good:
ARHD will be coming with suite tools tweaks....might not be to the level of customizing like Viper X but still the best of both worlds if you ask me....
Viper rom is good but to bloated with all the tweaks....running it at the moment and i have to say it lags....not a lot but lags still were ARHD is buttery smooth...so i would say wait for the new version of ARHD mate

Thanks for the hint about the upcoming update with the tweaks. That was the one reason why I might had slipped ARHD... it did not offer many customization/tweaks options.
Now I just have to find a suitable kernel, probably going to try faux-kernel
This message was created by the Mars rover Curiosity using a pre-alpha version of the SGS4
All Sense ROMs have the same battery life, I don't know who said that you can improve battery life but surely not by using Sense ROMs, they have all the same battery life, it only depends on your usage (and the kernel you use)
I changed to Viper X then went back to Insert Coin
Viper X has more tweaks and features than any rom i've seen. Only thing that bothered me is was it was not as smooth as some of the other roms
I went back to Insert Coin, it's the smoothest and most bug-free sense ROM i've used, also battery life seems slightly better than Viper X. Not as many tweaks but I hardly used any of the Viper tweaks anyway
I had the same dilema, tried them all even no-sense custom roms but now im back on official MIUI 2.8.17, for me by far best looking, performing and battery friendly. Also has better tweaks, theming options, and built-in security. Don't go for non official MIUI i had some major issues with few of them. Maybe they fixed them all but they lost my trust. And every friday new update

Interesting... so the new release 2.8.17 is a lot better? I used RD_MIUI version... and always had some issues with it.... like chinese fonts and battery drains or the annoying LBE-Guard...
Maybe I should let MIUI one more chance by installing the official-non tweaked version. I always thought that the tweaked version of like RD would boost significantly the performance and battery life of the device...
ARHD
I've been using ARHD since rooting my device and to be honest I didnt see any difference in battery life until I downloaded the final version of 6.3.1 with core droid suite tools... Remarkable difference from other test versions.
I'm using ViperX and a lot of the tweaks come in very handy. As far as battery life goes, I easily get 20 hours out of my device with no less than 4 hours of display time. This is with regular usage (whats app messages, some phone calls, Viber texting, taking pictures, pissing around on Flipboard, etc.).
I have not tried any other room but that's because I have not found a reason to switch to another one other than just to find out what they're like and once I get motivated enough, I will probably try the other ones
I guess my advice is to try them all out for at least a few battery cycles in order to see their full battery potential.
Whatever floats your boat, my man. There are plenty of ROMs and I'm sure you'll find one that you'll fall in love with.
ARHD has been the best for me so far. Quick, smooth, stable.

What PhoenixFx said. I started out with Charmeleon (same team that made Viper) and was rather happy. Then updated to ViperX that i kept for over almost 2 months. Earlier this month I tried AR-HD 9.1, and currently running InsertCoin 9.2.0
First off, all roms are fast. You wont really notice any real difference between them as long as use same kernel. A difference of 2% in benchmarks is hardly noticeable in real world . Same goes for battery. It has more to do with kernel and settings than anything in roms.
Viper X is great rom. Its what (imo) a custom rom should be all about. OTA updates, tons of customizations, very stable. Its like stock when you want to or goes completely mad with red-theme (which i personally didnt like much). One big cudos here is the ability to adjust screen auto-brightness to lower values than default, much lower. That usually gave me a few hours extra at night.
Problem with ARHD is that it is just too stock. And with that in mind it becomes hard at times to see the point of having a custom rom (and losing OTA update options) so why not just go with stock rom? Thats what I was left with after about 10 days of using it. It was great as being first out with 2.17 base but after a couple days ViperX and IC also updated to same base.
InsertCoin is my current rom. Its not bad but I frankly dont see the point of it. To me, its like ViperX but lite.. minus OTA ability and too many updates that force full wipe twice a week. And it has a REALLY ANNOYING bootup sound, wtf is up with that?! Stable, for most part. But today i got stuck at lockscreen without any option to move the ring.. it got solved tho.
So here are my thoughts. I like ViperX because it is most different of stock sense roms. It lets me do lot of cool things right off the bat without ever going into recovery and flashing stuff manually.
Personally I'm back with stock for now which seems to be just as quick as the custom roms, and in some instances actually smoother. I think sometimes too many tweaks and add ons slow the phone down.

I'd recommend InsertCoin too if what you want is just a clean and fast Sense ROM. I love it, and don't really mind that it's not full of a lot of tweaks and hacks.
And there's only an update that needs a full wipe with InsertCoin when the dev says it needs a full wipe. The last update that needed a full wipe was 9.3.0 last week, and that was only if you wanted the pt_BR language adding. Otherwise before that, the last update that did actually need a full wipe was 7.0 when he updated to the 2.05 base over 2 months ago.

I prefer insertcoin because I want to keep a stock sense look and feel, I wanted to try ARHD but got a bit baffled with all the different mods available, you have to flash separately. Insertcoin makes is easy with the aroma installer and you can easily enable/disable tweaks and mods you don't want.
Also there are frequent updates so when small bugs are found, they are quickly fixed and contrary to what asestar writes, you don't have to wipe. I haven't wiped since the 1.29 based roms (v6.x)
Rooted my DHD a month or so ago and havent looked back since,,,
Tried a few different roms but for me i feel ARHD is still the best quality ,, everything works well, camera, audio, battery, speed etc etc
I really want to use jellytime (or icecoldsandwich for that matter) but feel its not quite as stable or dependable YET,,, do you think the camera issues along with a few other niggles will ever be sorted ?
Ice cold is pretty much 100% stable. JellyTime does have problems at times but its nothing a battery pull can't fix
Sent from PACman'd Desire HD
hows the camera in ice cold ? the picture quality is great on ARHD
Me too
I'm in the same boat. Happy with ARHD but been looking at others like Trickdroid, Jellytime, Pacman, Cosmic Sandwich etc, they all seem to have niggles like wifi tether or MMS or little camera issues.
If only HTC would release the ICS source for our device so developers could work without their hands tied behind their backs.
I'd love to move to ICS but the "what do I gain?" question doesn't have a good answer really.
Personally I'm using Sabsa Prime and the only non-fully-feature I can pick out with little bugs are the camera, namely hdr and panorama features don't work. Every else about the rom is brilliant in my eyes and still being developed. I use a different camera apk so don't have any real issues at all. Some posts I've seem refer to arrows not showing on keyboard (even though it's an option in the installer) but I use SwiftKey keyboard which is much better and arrows work with that.

I was also on ARHD until about a week ago because, like you, I was looking for a fully functional Rom with no issues. I finally took the leap and flashed Trickdroid, took me a little while to get it set up, but running great now, not found any problems so far and seems to run just as fast if not quicker. Worth a try if you've got the time just make sure you have a backup ready

is the camera on trickdroid as good as arhd ?
I too enjoyed ARHD for a long time and it is a great rom indeed. Only thing better I found is XGS Série's. Somehow it manages to make battery life even greater than ARHD.
I do admit I like sense, tried TrickDroid too and loved it, but battery life takes priority... Still, both ARHD & TrickDroid are both great roms also :good:

Okay well I might give them a go. I have a Nandroid backup(Apps+Data) I made with EXT4 touch Recovery.
Just on that, if I use the restore backup function, will my exact setup be restored? So, ARHD with all my apps and and settings etc? Just like rolling a full system image back on?
I have copied the backup to my computer as well to be safe.
Me too,
still living with ARHD 6.3.3 from Mike with several mods ...
for camera issues to improve performance, I also applying 0% compressing+720p video mod.
And use Camera360_ version 2.5.5 is for stable of capturing pictures, default stock camera for record video.
For the first time I use dhd, I'm using Android revolution, it's great for speed, camera etc.. but sometimes bored with standard visual, then I try CM7 but the camera was not hopefully for me.. No I'm using back android revolution...

How about battery performance compared with ARHD rom ?

I think the two are comparable. It's a little hard to call, because I had ARHD on for a while and wasn't "playing" with it as much so battery seemed great, but since flashing Sabsa Prime 8.5, with it's Sense 4.1 lite and all the beautiful animations etc I tend to muck around on it a fair bit, even still battery life is great.
It's definitely the best ROM I have tried thus far. (Well for me anyway)
So I've had CM10 for about 3 weeks now, and I can't say I'm terribly impressed.
Sure, it was Jelly Bean and had Google Now, and was fairly fluid and all that. But there are definitely issues, including occasional freezing (and even a couple of random reboots), a 'scheduled' alarm that requires me to constantly switch it back on every night, and camera photos that for some reason don't show up (just a blank image). But the worst thing, by far, is the terrible battery life. I don't know why, but for some reason my phone refuses to last even a full day since installing CM10. I don't know what the hell CM10 is doing to kill my battery, but it is.
All of which is a round-about way of saying that I am ready to move on. I know there are a lot of ROMs out there, but I was wondering which ones are worth it.
Any recommendations? And would the process for loading these ROMs be the same as it was for CM10, i.e. flash it from the 'fastboot' recovery thingy?
(Alternatively, if other ROMs are actually worse than CM10, then can someone tell me how to go back to Sense?)
All require the commands for fastboot. Aosp roms are quality cams not as good. Don't go sense yet try miui then at least you've tried them all

What is "cams"? I tried Googling it but couldn't find anything. MIUI looks like it might be a pretty heavy ROM? And I'm not sure about the whole idea of not having an app drawer.
What other AOSP ROMs are there? Is there some place where I can check out the various alternatives? Is CM10 an AOSP?

Translation: All require you to use commands in fastboot. The quality of pictures taken in the camera application in AOSP/AOKP/CM10 ROMs is not as good compared to Sense ROMs. Don't go back to a Sense ROM yet, try MIUI, then go back to Sense once you've tried them all.

So I've had CM10 for about 3 weeks now, and I can't say I'm terribly impressed.
Sure, it was Jelly Bean and had Google Now, and was fairly fluid and all that. But there are definitely issues, including occasional freezing (and even a couple of random reboots), a 'scheduled' alarm that requires me to constantly switch it back on every night, and camera photos that for some reason don't show up (just a blank image). But the worst thing, by far, is the terrible battery life. I don't know why, but for some reason my phone refuses to last even a full day since installing CM10. I don't know what the hell CM10 is doing to kill my battery, but it is.
All of which is a round-about way of saying that I am ready to move on. I know there are a lot of ROMs out there, but I was wondering which ones are worth it.
Any recommendations? And would the process for loading these ROMs be the same as it was for CM10, i.e. flash it from the 'fastboot' recovery thingy?

Im wondering this same question... tried few CM10 based roms --> bad battery, freezing, errors etc.
now im having sense based rom, and market doesnt work, cool aint it?
dont like the ui look of sense at all, messy and disturbing.
im just wondering if theres any fully STABLE CM9, maybe CM7 roms? dont really care about these google now, nfc etc..
and dont say me to change to iOS, thats not a solution.
Good luck searching for ROM!

I love my Sense ROMs, so I've actually reflashed the stock software. I've tried the CM10, ARHD 17 (Good sense ROM), Paranoid android (A very interesting ROM, may not give the best experience but it's certainly very unique in its own respect) Also, check out the new Blade ROM, apparently it's super smooth and amazing battery life. I have to delve into it myself, but perhaps you could share your experience?
I want to switch to an AOSP rom because NFC media sharing doesn't work on stock roms,
But I'm worried about all those bugs in AOSP roms ...
do you guys recommend switching or staying on stock????????????????????????????????

Well i can recommend ARHD 17.1, if u can stand looks of sense UI.
After installing apex launcher and holo locker (JB style locker) i managed to make it good looking for me. And its very smooth scrolling etc (AFTER APEX)... on sense it was as laggy as stock.
PS. im not sure if NFC media sharing works cause i wont need it but you can allways make sure of it:
-> [ROM] Android Revolution HD 17.1 | High Quality & Performance | Sense 4+ | BEST STOCK
:good:
I just flashed to Liquid JB from ViperX and am pretty happy so far... Also ViperX was awesome, with tons of customizable features. :good:

Yeah I'm fairly sure the need for such an extensive translation was not really warranted. Lol

what about Slim Bean for the HOX, anyone got good expierience with that ROM ?
Slim beans a great Rom. Same story though with the camera if not overly fussed about it though. Great rom
The gnex version is sweet

thanks ! Seems ROMs are like women, so many are beautiful but you have to pick the lesser evil for you
Try ICJ AOKP. It has a lot of customization and its very stable.

How much worse the camera on AOSP/AOKP vs Sense roms?
Both Still and VIdeo quality, less options? Whats the problem?
It's not tragic. You will notice it though. You have to try really

But still can you explain a bit please?
The quality is worse? the features? what exactly is the difference?
Okay the quality isn't as good. In low light or dark the flash makes a green tint on your picture. Though loads use it still give it a try
