Try Bortak's guide, it's the first thread in Q&A section.

And which ROM is the best for you depends on what you like in a ROM.
There are differences in speed, customizability, features and of course the design.
So if you state what you like in a ROM it's easier for us to give an advise.
First of all you should decide if you want a stable rom or the newest but not so stable one.
For beginners I would recommend Cyanogen Mod, thats a nice stable Ginger Bread Rom and you get a good support there.
But if you want to try Ice Cream Sandwich, I suggest you try Sandvolds Rom. I am using that by myself and its great...
Regards
You could also try one of the MildWild-releases. They are both pretty good. I'm using the version based on Oxygen and it works great, very stable and very fast.
I've used MildWild but didnt like it.
Using Cyanogenmod now and i'm really happy with the performance of the rom.
+1 for Cyanogenmod... its flawless and very flexible! go for CM 7.2+INT2SD, it gives 1GB internal memory (find it here)
Below are other options:

If you want Sense ROM try any of the Runny ROMs
Try Ginger Villain rom

Miui xj!
If you havn't looked at this thread yet, now is the time.
Its a list of all the Roms for Desire, sorted by android version/ Sense version.
There is no "best rom" but like the others have said, you can't go wrong with CM.
Currently using Mokee OS, which is based on CM but with a whole new interface.

Do you think the best Official Rom For DHD?
android revolution 2.0.16,, it will make your phone as fast as lightning
Leedroid 2.2.2. Is the best custom rom for your DHD. Look like stock htc rom, but include all available speed patch and battery last double longer than on stock rom.. Recommended!
I've tested both LeeDroid and Android Revolution HD, and I'm sticking to ARHD, but really it's up to each user to find out whichever is "better". When it comes to custom ROM's, which one is "the best one" is in the eye of the beholder; it all comes down to what YOU prefer. Read up on your choices, see screenshots, you could even try a couple of them. You won't know which one to stick with until you've tried a few
EDIT: As ghostofcain kindly pointed out a coulpe of posts down, all of these ROM's are unofficial. To be honest, I don't have much to say about official ROM's, I had the stock ROM for about 1 hour before I flashed my DHD ^_^
I can't stick to a specific rom so i jump between CoreDroid, LeeDroid and ARHD I even used MIUI and Cyanogen for some time, but I like the look of sense more

all these ROM's are unofficial! but for my 2 cents it's CyanogenMod 7 all the way, Froyo is so last year.

MIUI isnt that fast these days..
Try SGBS rom (v1.7) have sense and is very fast and stable.

Better wait for the official 2.3. I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 Stable, but there is issue with call delay and mobile data connection problem. Now I am waiting for 2.3 official
I am running Insertcoin from around last 2 months and frankly speaking i never had any issues with the ROM. U can give it a try. U can get the rom from my signature.
Note: I never use HD recording or Playback on mobile, so i have never tested these functionality.
Yes, InsertCoin stable 1.0.8 seems to be bug free.
I used it also since about 2 months.
RCMix S v. 2.0.1 snm.
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070&highlight=Recent+Apps easy to install.
For me AcesMod007 v24
Tried all roms but this one stands to be most stable and fast...
Leedroid is good too but battery hog.
Insertcoin is not bad but slow compared to acemod007.

From my personal experience I can highly recommend oxygen. It's a very clean and stable rom and I get a great battery life. Before using oxygen I tried leedroid, rcmix s, miui and redux. They are all nice and fast, but I really like the cleanness of oxygen and redux. I would have stayed with redux, but the developer did not have any time for further development for nearly two months, so I changed to oxygen. But I cannot see a big difference between redux and oxygen.
Ive tried loads, but an issue that kept recurring was depletion of internal memory. Therefore for the desire in my opinion the best roms are ones that allow data2ext or data2we which tricks your phone into thinking it has the internal memory limit you choose. I like gingerburst, a sense Rom since the whole thing is easy to set up and is stable. Just Google it and follow the instructions on the site
Cyanogen 7.0.3 works with the data2we. zip. If you don't like HTC sense, and is my close second Fave Rom

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

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.

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!

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

Ok, so I've tried to search for this but I always seem to fail. I'm looking for a stock Gingerbread ROM for my phone, and I dont want CM7. Is there any roms out there that are Google only, like a Nexus port or something?

Hi. I've found this thread and thought it might be useful for you. Check out this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071790
It seems to be AOSP with minor tweaks and NOT CM7
Thanks for that, I'll give it a try and see how it runs, although it seems that it's no longer being maintained.
Any other AOSP ROMs for DHD?
Currently i'm using BlackICE ROM, and it's 'kinda' AOSP, cause it's based on CyanogenMod v7.1.0.1 (NB 235). But it's worthy giving it a try. And, there's an issue with sound skipping randomly sometimes. Although it's very close to masterpiece IMO
How about Revolution and applying No-Sense script? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040 - second post
and check this one out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140749
have fun!
I've tried ARHD with no-sense, don't like it, I rather the normal one (I'm on 6.1.3 right not). I'm trying to avoid CM based ROMs, as I can pretty much get a CM build and tweak it myself.
I might try to get one running myself, cook up an AOSP ROM to share

the best one is the one that's best for your needs, not what everyone else says is best for them.
try a few and find out...
but if you have already decided that leedroid is the best, i read the last page of the thread and found this link.
also, you should read the FAQ to set it up properly.

erm.. thats JB 4.2.2
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:
GingerBread (AOSP):
==================================[Version]=================
MildWild GB-1 Based on Solstice ROM--------------------------------------->[v1.0.7/10th/March/2013]
MildWild based on CyanogenMod7--------------------------------------->[CM 8.0 JG Stable/27th/January/2013]
MildWild based on Oxygen 2.3.2--------------------------------------->[v4.9/23rd/January/2013]
MildWild Based on Redux2 TEST--------------------------------------->[v.MW-9.5/5th/March/2013]
Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) AOSP/SDK:
==================================[Version]=================
[ROM/MOD 4.0.4] Marius.a--------------------------------------->[v3.5/8th/March/2013]
And tested these:
MildWild Based on Redux2 TEST--------------------------------------->[v.MW-9.5/5th/March/2013]
&
[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!

Until now best custom ROMs for my Desire /s

MildWild
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=169552817
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.
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm7&device=bravo
These are obviously my own opinions and others may, and are welcome to disagree
Regards,
Jim
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
