Complete new system - which combination? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
my GF is using my old HTC Desire (GSM) and there are some problems.
Biggest problem is during phone calls. There are short pauses with no sound during a call, sometimes just 1 sec, sometimes longer. The call isn't cancelled, but there is just no sound for few moments.
The Desire is rooted and currently a (Soul) MIUI Rom with the latest Radio 5.17.05.23 is running on it. My SD Card ist partioned to use A2SD+, so i search a ROM where i can use that.
I never changed the kernel directly, perhaps it was changed/updated via a CustumRom, don't know at this moment.
So my question to you: Do you know this kind of problem? Is there a coherence between my calling problem and the rom or radio oder even the kernel?
And what combination of Rom/Radio/Kernel do you suggest for me? Some Radios don't fit to some Roms i think, or?
It must be a Rom with a2sd+ working.
I'm very thankful for every hint or advice
Greets, Jon

I'm using RSK SE rom at the moment. It uses aroma installer so gives you menu options when installing. Make sure a2sd and call delay patch are selected. I'm using the latest radio and it works great but may well work fine with another version of radio also. Very stable rom (sense 3.5).
You will need to partition your sd card first or a2sd won't work.
The kernel that comes with this rom is fine. No need to change IMO.

Recommend a ROM

Hi,
Preferably, I'm looking for a HTC Desire HD ROM or something that has the new HTC Sense on it with APP2SD functionality, It must be Clean Stock (meaning no customization) and must be Stable to use with no or little lag. The Android version should be 2.2 or above and OTA update be operational (not required).
I have stumbled upon some ROMS, that match my specifications, however I want to know your experience with it. Common Bugs, how is it for everyday use? blah blah etc...
- RCMixHD v0.15 1
- DHD Rom Port by baadnwz v1.7c
- ۵.AuraxTSense v8.2 HTC Sense 2.2
- ۵.ReflexTSenseHD v1.5.1 DHD port
- RCS Touch v06
I want to be able to flash a new rom without any fuss, but I do not believe this likely to happen.
Here are my device specs:
Code:
BRAVO PV1 SHIP-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-01d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
-Android 2.2
-T-MOBILE UK - Branded
-Not-Rooted
-4GB Micro SD Card (GoldCard)
Before any tells me to do my research and check the entire forums and says it all depends on your desire, well the whole point of the thread is to give me guidance on what to do next and then summarize your points and experience.
If any more information is require, please tell me so.
Thank you.
Little Bump. No one?
Root
Flash Baadnewz 1.7c
EOD
root read , read again , check the threads of the roms u want to try , download rom , instal and if you like keep it if not repeat from (Check)
regards
baadnewz has to be the quickest most lag free hd rom
Forget hd if you want zero lag just stick to standard Sense or aosp gingerbread.
I've tried Alex V HD which is very good but not zero lag and heard lots of good news about baadnewz.

its got a memory leak and is sluggish after time
First of all - root it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044).
Second - S-Off (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811).
Need help? Search xda and google, google, google!
Then - READ ALOT about the different roms, apps/data2sd, recovery images etc etc and choose the one you like most. Search for youtube videos of the roms you like.
Pay attention - some roms work only with specific radio versions. Most roms require (or at least suggest) performing a full phone wipe (including davlik cache), so don't forget to backup EVERYTHING before you start (including contacts, sms, mms). AND NEVER EVER REBOOT / DISCONNECT CABLE WHEN FLASHING!

I was leaning towards this rom, good job you told me this.
Also, please guys, although I appreciate your guidance I am not new to flashing etc and do not want instructions on 'how to root, flash, S-OFF and S-ON'. If you read my question, all I want is your opinions/views on what ROM is good enough to meet my specifications as well as your experiences. I do not want to keep flashing my phone, that's another reason why this thread was created. And Please no 'SEARCH GOOGLE, XDA FORUMS', and choose what you like. I will research the ROM that I have narrowed down, helped suggested by you guys and then Check if it's good to go. I know some of you will find me arrogant, which is not the case.
Keep your suggestions coming in...
Thank you.
youve picked the roms you want to try , why dont you try them and find out for yourself.
and no i dont find you arrogant more lazy
I'd recommend Baadnwz. I found it to be one of the quickest!

Most of you guys are suggesting 'badnewz', tell me your experiences with it.
...Or shall I just flash a unbranded Stock ROM and Root and Partition the SD?
Thanks
EDIT: What do you guys think of this ROM 'Ginger Villain 0.8?
I was using gingervillian 0.8 for awhile and found it to be very good, however as only the nexus s is running gingerbread officially, I found there are some apps that I need that won't work.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Now I'm thinking of flashing to the standard HTC Stock ROM and ROOT+APP2SD...
I'd recommend teppic's stock ROM + updates. Why ? Because the author updates it regularely and has offered lots of optional addons, meaning the ROM is not a "try to please all so im stuffed with all imaginable crap" one.

[Q] HTC Desire running slow and sluggish

Right Im running the LeeDrOiD V2.4.1 rom, first time with a custom rom.
Everytime I download and instal something the phone almost grinds to a halt and its impossible to use it while its installing the new app.
Is this got to do with the rom or is it because my etx3 partition 750mb?
Advice please
Thanks in advance.

Use starbust rom it is fast and stable and gives you internal memory of upto 2GB
Maybe I want to use Leedroid
Mine was doing that as well. I was previously using oxygen which was fast, but Leedroid 2.4 gave me unbareable lag at times. I have now switched to Lee's new gingerbread 3.0.2 rom and have found it so much quicker. May be worth a try?

I am planning to go to his gingerbread one but not until its been out their and tested longer.
any news when will the htc gb will be released?
Why dont you test it yourself and leave feedback instead of leeching
Kind of fixed the problem, all I did was switch the phone on and off :S

[Q] Wildfire Calling Problem

Hi all,
I know this is my first post but the only reason I felt the need to do it is because I have run out of options to fix my Wildfire. I have scoured many forums to find a solution from the CyanogenMod forums through android to xda forums to no avail.
I am currently running the newly released CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 and I'm experiencing the same problem that I had since upgrading to the 7.1 RC1. Basically the phone works normally after flashing a ROM but after a few weeks of usage I attempt to call someone and there is no sound on either side of the call. If I then leave the call and try to play any music it does not work and neither do the basic android sounds. Basically no sound at all. Now I have tried rebooting (I get back the sounds but as soon as I want to call someone the same thing occurs), pulling the battery and all the usual processes. I read somewhere that flashing the ROM again fixes it and that is true but the same thing occurs after a few weeks of usage, rendering my phone useless. Even flashing earlier backups does not work. So I am wondering if anyone has experienced something like this or if anyone could have an answer and solution to my problem.
Here is a detailed list of what I am currently running:
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
Radio: 3.35.20.10
Hboot: 6.01.1002
S-OFF
Customisations: V6 SuperCharger Update 9 Beta 6.3, 3G TurboCharger Installer Update 3 test 11, Kick Ass Kernelizer Installer Update 3 test5.
Thanks for any help.
Edit: I forgot to mention I also have the Custom MTD Partitions for the Wildfire.
Could be hardware related, have you tried stock?

Is there any sense with gingerbread 3.3.5 and 3.5?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Try SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 Inc2. It has a mix of Sense 2.1 and 3.0 features. I have been running it for a couple of weeks with no issues. You will have to go to their forum to download it. Google teambamf..

Rom with no Bugs
rmk sense r1 is a rooted original firmware ( No Bugs at all ) ,
also it is debloated from all unnecessary bloatware and verizon stuff also as i remember ,
there is a patch includes all removed software if you need it back to the rom .
Also it can be patched with sense 3 patch . this is your best choice if you don't want to follow developers fixing bugs and patches every day
gingerbread 3.3.5 and 3.5
i assume 3.5 you mean Sense 3.5
there is one Rom only Sense 3.5 with GSM support and it has Bugs ( empty strings ) , and the developer move to a new Base , means that Rom's bug will not be fixed
any updates on this?
I have not tested it personally, but GSM should work on CyanogenMod.
I have personally tested GSM in CM7 7.1.0.1 and it does work just fine

Also you may not be able to access ##Phone codes EPST and such.
So if you need to manually enter some data provisioning settings you might want to keep a stock based ROM somewhere on your SD card like one of the others mentioned.
There is nothing like stepping off the plane and having to call the carrier only to hear "OK, lets dial ##778# + send" and with no data, access you have to run to an inet cafe or find a WiFi signal to download a ROM with that capability.
andybones has a real clean ROM.

[Q] Any such thing as *fully* working ICS/JB + Sense4 ROM?

Hi Everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller.
Over the last couple of months, I have tried virtually every ROM I can get my hands on for my DHD, and I always do a full wipe (format) of /system, /data, /cache, Dalvik, and .android_secure before install.
The only ICS ROM I can get working fully is Blackout, but it is Sense 3.6.
I have tried Viper, and *really* like it, but Bluetooth is broken (in 1.2.0, .1, .2, and .3)
That seems to be the case for me with Sense 4 ROMs (lite or full); if Bluetooth works, then WiFi is broken. If WiFi works, then Bluetooth is broken.
ROMs I've tried (latest):
Viper
Miui
Jellytime
ARHD
Blackout (S3.6, which is where I'm at b/c it works)
IceCold
IceSense
CosmicSandwich
Sabsa
codefireX
Kernels I've tried (various releases up to latest):
Beastmode
KangBang
Virtuous
So, I'd like to know if there is such a thing as a fully-working ICS/JB ROM with Sense 4? I cant seem to find one. W/o Bluetooth and WiFi, nothing can be considered a "daily driver", imo... especially w/o Bluetooth, if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
I'm baffled; all of those ROMs should have both BT and wifi fully working. What's your recovery and version?
EDIT: and what's your radio?

Same here, bluetooth is one of the few things that ALWAYS work (except for 4.2.1, but that's expected).
Are you wipping between flashes ?
Thanks for the replies, guys.
As I outlined above, yes, I am fully wiping b/t ROM installs - even restores - please see my method in first post.
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery (HBoot for booting) and have paid for ROM Manager, which entitles me to further updates to CWM than what is available on Play. I currently have 5.8.1.5 installed (CWM Touch).
The radio varies from ROM to ROM it seems, and I should have documented which version in each ROM, but right now, in Blackout, it is reporting 12.56.60.25P_26.10.04.03_M. <--- That number stays consistent, afaik, but the first letter will change (U and T, iirc).
When I say that Bluetooth doesnt work, specifically what happens is that it either doesnt pair with any device, or if it does pair, no sound will be transmitted or the pairing will only last for a second, maybe two seconds at most.

The radio shouldn't be changing with each ROM unless you change it. But with that said, nothing seems out of the ordinary. You could try reflashing your radio manually? Other than that I'm out of ideas.

I dont know much about that, but with that said, I just re-flashed Viper 1.2.3 and my radio now reads:
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M, which is different than it was above with Blackout.
I have not tried re-flashing my radio manually. I wouldnt know which one would give me a better chance of success...

Once I flash a new ROM, the kernel and the radio are the same I had or the new ROM comes with its own kernel and radio?
Thanks in advance
roms do not come with radios tho they do have their own kernels. Radios are region based not rom based so there is no rom specific radio just what works best in your area.

Thanks for the explanation. So, if I bought my mobile in Spain, the radio is different if I had bought, for example in France?
depends on how close they are to each other whether same service is used in Spain as in France or if they are totally two different service. I would Google the carrier you use then see what radio they shipped with. Even in the radio thread you may find an answer to which radio is good for you in the area your at.
