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.
Sabsa prime best

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).

XxXPachaXxX NERO XL Rom
My first rom after rooting was Blackout ICS Incredible v3.1.0 FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6] but my phone has frequent blackouts during calls and i tried IceColdSandwich. This ROM was stable but i did not like the camera - no touch focus, the zoom was strange.
The last ROM i've tried is XxXPachaXxX NERO XL Rom - is with a real sense camera and the sound is great.

i recently rooted my phone and flashed arhd, and got some great help and advice from here regarding which rom to start with.
Now i am see`ing new roms, updated versions and am struggling to choose again - from what i can tell there are 3 x varieties - one that has sense, one without sense and a miui version, and then in al lthe threads of the seperate varieties they all seem to have the identicle set up - and same issues - most recent being no wifi connection, so an updated rom is released.
do people really flash a rom daily? or do you just stick with one that works?
i would like to have some sense 3 bits, but every rom seems to be sufferign the same problems and they all look the same except a different kernal is used, how do i choose?
Im after using a good few of the roms now and I was using CM7 since it came out. Yesterday I changed to honeysense HD and I must say I love it. I use SPB 3D shell launcher so it looks basically the same as alot of the other ones anyways but there are a few nice little changes in it that I love. You should seriously think about trying it. You wont be sad you tried it.
It's pure personal preference.
I have worked my way around judt about all the different flavour ROMs but my fav choice is resting solidly on the COREDROID Rom.
Just take some time and try each one I am sure you will find one you like. Ad for flashing all the time I did initialy but I settled down and the ROMs get better each time a new version is released.
Have fun

I have just started getting into this and for the first few weeks flashed pretty much most roms that were available. I then found the MIUI rom and fell in love with it.
Coredroid is my favorite one of the sense type roms
It is down to personal preference and best thing to do is try a few of em and I'm sure you will find one that you like

thats excatlly what i was going thru. I'm the kinda guy who flashes almost daily
I have had a run of almost all of them.
If you want to have pure sense 3 experience then RCmix kingdom is the one you could go for.But as it is still in beta/development stage you should expect few bug's here and there.
If you dont want to have bugs and have sense 3.0 parts (lockscreen,camera....) then i personally suggest lee driod or andriod revolution rom's with sense 3.0 addon's they are both stable rom's with very few issue's in them.
I'm currently am on RCmix 5.9 (Old school ) with sense 3.0 addons in it with lee's kernel.
On the other side Miui freshly squeezed is the best you could find which is close to sense like experience with the power of CM 7. Give it a try i'm sure it will tempt you to forget sense for a while
Hope this help you out
Happy flashing
HoneySense
I am using the Honeysense HD rom. It is great, the dev is very dedicated and releases updates very quickly.

DUDE!! If you have DHD then the ROM(s) to follow are LeeDroid and RCMIX Kingdom.. At the moment both have released newer versions of their ROMS so you just need to see which ROM works best for you and of course for your device ;o)
Lee has a mixture of Sense 2.1 and 3.0 and RCMIX Kingdom has Sense 3.0 but after flashing RCMIX's Rom it says Sense 2.1..I THINK it's still a bug BUT his ROM is superb.. The battery life might be a bit annoying but thank GOD for the extra battery ( if your SP provided you with an extra .. of course )..hehhe!
MIUI should not be option on your DHD cos I personally think that the phone was built around Sense and I don't think that MIUI has any Sense version on it..
MIUI might look super cool but try LeeDroid OR RCMIX's first before you move to MIUI..>>> OR VICE VERSA ;o)
Hope my 2 cents comment helps you ;o)
Spent my first week changing and trying different ROMs.
Started worth arhd since it has great doc for newbies.
Then, tried all other sense rom and stayed a while with lee droid.
Switched to cm7 then to mdj cm7.1. Stayed there a long time. Close to a month.
Then back to sense since I want panorama! And tried tb and mdj vivo.
Now on vivo.
Think I'll stick with mdj.s rom.

if you want sense 3 then i recommend you ioos rom.
cause its true sense without any extra's.
so far no issues for me.
Had the same problems. I tried virtually all roms, from sense to no sense. Like IOO sense 3 rom so much. CM 7 & MIUI are just not my thing. The best rom in my opinion right now is VIVO. Its very smooth, the battery life is amazing, minimal bugs report. But at the end its a matter of personal choice.

I have been using Honeysense HD since i rooted 2 weeks ago and found it to be very pretty without many problems the only thing i cant seem to sort out is my battery life 100% at 10.20pm put phone on standby and at 5am i'm at 75%. Thinking i'll try another ROM.
I've tried ARHD, MIUI, LeeDroid and CM7. After all this I choose to switch between ARHD and MIUI freshly squeezed edition, but I still prefer ARHD for its stability and good battery life.
Ok., so Many New ROM's... which make's newbies get confused which is the best.
Best in term's of:
1.stability
2.design
3.compatibility
4.usability
5.user experience
6.support for new updates
7.user friendly
8.no bug's
9.Global mode
10.Battery life.
guy's pls. share your thoughts.... so I/YOU can decide. which is which
Thanks.
If you want sense try This one. It is by far my favorite sense rom as of right now. If you don't want sense OMFGB is the most stable, and fast non-sense rom I have used.
Ok, I'll bite
Best in term's of:
1.stability - Currently running Miui 1.8.19 Very stable. Unity also very stable for me.
2.design - Depends on if you want a Sense based rom or AOSP Rom... Unity for Sense was great. I love Miui for the customization's.
3.compatibility - So far I have been able to use any of the usual apps that I would run with the stock non rooted rom.
4.usability - Miui has been a very usable daily driver for me. MMS works, calls have no issues. Wifi works... Don't use BT so can't say on that.
5.user experience - very good
6.support for new updates - Haven't need to use this yet. But from what I have seen, the support on most of the roms we have available is good.
7.user friendly - I would say that the Sense based roms may be more user friendly to someone that has been using Sense based roms. Miui is pretty simple to get the hang of as well as the other AOSP (Cyanogen and others).
8.no bug's - only bug I have found in Miui, is the soft touch keys don't rotate when going to landscape mode. No biggie as I didn't expect them to.
9.Global mode - Haven't used this yet.
10.Battery life - Battery life has been great with both Unity and Miui. This could be due to the fact of the custom Kernals and being UV'd. Both have easily lasted all day under heavy use. I plug into the charger at night before going to bed, and generally have 40% battery left.
Hope this may help someone out
thanks ...I need more ideas so i can compare ,. keep it coming
I'm running CM7 Nightlies #48
1.stability - extremely stable so far. The only FC I get is when I first boot up ADW EX FC's, but I think it's because I'm impatient
2.design - I love the look of vanilla android. If you don't, or think it's boring, you won't like it. There are boat load of themes, though. And the great thing is all CM7 themes are compatible, regardless of which phone
3.compatibility - I haven't ran into any apps that I can't run
4.usability - very usable. Don't really know how to answer this
5.user experience - excellent, with all the customizable options
6.support for new updates - nightlies, lol
7.user friendly - I would say it is user friendly for anyone who is on XDA. Maybe not your average user, though
8.no bug's - none that I've ran into. Some complain about low volume in calls, but I don't experience that
9.Global mode - haven't tested
10.Battery life - excellent. I can easily get through a day
Edit: I should add that I haven't had a stock rom in god knows how long. So I am very used to little quirks here and there and don't even notice them anymore. Others may

I ran OMFGB for a while, it performed well. I really like it because it is slimmed down AOSP but still has some nice features. Didn't seem to have much bugs, but nightlies can always produce bugs for people. OMGB 1.2 is the stable version of it.
Running Miui now because I wanted something different. Its performing well but it doesnt seem as quick OCd at 1.3 as OMFGB was OCd at 1.3 for me. The theme manager and customization in Miui though are awesome. Battery seems good so far.

Only bug I have ran into is that it wont install certain skins. Not really a big deal but could be a breaker for some people. I tried honeybread, glasssense, and one other cant remember and none of them worked. Carbon fiber one does though.
I VERY highly suggest ANY ROM posted by "newtoroot" he has four great and different ROMs. They each have a few bugs, it just depends on your taste as to if the things bother you. Some people can use it as a daily others can't.
ihftp69, release a preview ROM of his SkyRaider Zeus, and is, afaik completely bug free 2.1 Sense ROM experience with sense 3.0 components.
MIUI has been my daily driver for about 2 weeks now. Everything works (MMS, BT, Wifi, etc) and the themes are awesome. Very consistent with updates and has a great dev team. Haven't seen any FCs from the system apps. Also, battery life is great.

Have to echo this remark. Going on a week with MIUI and have had no issues outside of it resetting yesterday while playing around with the music player it came with. Battery is on par with stock, but having a pretty UI means I play with the phone a lot more .

I really like the OMFGB roms, very stable, everything works and its fast. I also like the MIUI rom. I really love that fact that I can use the torch from the home lock screen by pressing the home key! MIUI also has a great dev community as well. It's really a personal preference, but as far as performance, I like those two the best.
Here is another vote for MIUI. Great stable ROM.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
If you want some sense 3.0 features, the SkyRaider Zeus beat them all in stability and functionality, haven't found any bugs yet. Virtuous Unity came in close 2nd if you can live with the compass being backward, it lag a bit during first startup, overall it doesn't feel as smooth as Zeus even at 1.3Ghz. Gingerbang 1.5 is my number 1 choice if I want something close to stock, very snappy even at stock speed and it gave me the best battery life even after i overclocked to 1.2Ghz.
I switch between GingerSense and MIUI with great results from both. Exchange nuances keep me coming back to Sense-based ROMs, but MIUI in terms of customization taunts me constantly.
Stability has been great on both as well as compatibility.
As the title says, i´d like to know which one is the best ICS rom for you. The CM9,sandvolds or Nikez Lente ?
Edit: Sorry forgot to mention AOKP opinions on this rom also welcome
There's AOKP missing there. Not sure if they gonna burn you alive for creating this but anyway.
It depends. You should try all of them to find the best for your device and for your expectations
I tryed all of them and didn't find best one...
The most featured is AOKP, it has a lot of easy-to-use settings, great notification bar and very functional lockscreen, weather integration. But almost every day of usage I've got one sleep of death.
More stable ROM for my device is Chromium, but this ROM has not published on xda. Pity. Another thing about Chromium - I really miss all features of AOKP in the ROM. On mine Desire it works almost a week without BSOD or SOD.
Try, and you'll find what you need

I've used Sandvolds since 0.12 and it was very promissing (and still is). Unfortunately, the last two releases have known bugs (wifi, 3g, some apps do not work) ad the ROM has become much slower. So, I decided to try BCM, installed the latest version of and I'm nicely surprised. Everything works smoothly and quickly, no problems with wifi, 3g, bluetooth etc. I use it for a week and so far no problems.
Running BCM quite successfully, but with the same occasional radio crashes I had with cm7.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
For me it is Sandvolds or Elelinux.
I use for over a week Sanvold's 0.15. It's very good, except that every time i close the wifi the signal is off and needs to restart the phone. Hope this solved in the comming update . . .
Im using one of the Slim version. It is, so far, awesome.

I've treid Nikez Lente, CM9 and Sandvold recently. I have to say Sandvold seems the most polished and quick, maybe due to included V6 Supercharger. CM9 was the best in terms of added funcinallity, but I think itwas more laggy a slow than Lente or Sandvold. Lente is very good as well, very close to the original ICS, I prefer the Sandvold however.

Sandvolds ics rocks!
So is there a stable rom? (Stable meaning it will run 100h+ without reboot/SOD/whatever, no wifi/3g bugs, i don't care if OCing to 2.5GHZ doesn't work)
I don't know anything about the desire but my friend got one for himself because his iPhone was stolen. I myself own a Nexus S and i loved ICS, JB seems to be even better now I'm thinking if he doesn't like the feel of HTC Sense and Froyo/GB I might help him flash ICS if it's worth the trouble. Since he used to be an iPhone user he probably doesn't want to get dirt on his hands, so he won't be able to revert or flash something else and I don't want to have to switch ROMs for him every time he finds a bug.
BTW I spent about 1-2h reading the desire forum about flashing and stuff, it's really confusing I have to say, so if anybody could explain to me what hboot is and what the proper procedure is to flash a ROM i'd be very happy. I've only had phones with unlocked bootloaders so far so I know my way around CWM but that's about it...
Hey,
I've been reading xda for quite a while now and I thought I would register and say hey. Then once I have done 10 posts, start contributing.
I have a 2 year old HTC desire, rooted, stock HBOOT, S-off.
I originally rooted so that I could save apps to the SD card (fed up of not enough space)
however I finally plucked up the courage to flash a new rom and I haven't looked back!
Roms tried so far:
Sandvold 0.18.2.1 (and a few earlier revisions)
Runny Rom 7.0.2
MIUI (short lived - missed the app drawer)
JB Paranoid Hybrid UI
HTC Desire AOKP Milestone 6
Unofficial AOKP Jelly Bean v1.4 - my personal favorite so far although a few niggles which mean I can't use it as my everyday rom. (niggles I would like to help out with, when I have my 10 posts)
Current:
Insert coin rom A2SD+ stable v1.14 - purely because of the stability and lack of niggles.
I'm stuck with my Desire until my contract renewal (May 2013). and then I will be upgrading (possibly a Nexus, maybe something else). Until then I will be milking my desire for all its worth with new roms just to keep my interest in it.
I really like what you guys are doing here and the developers are incredible. I would like to help where I can, but being a noob and highly de-motivated by the instructional video means I might need help helping you....
Thats about it,
Thanks

I really like what you guys are doing here and the developers are incredible. I would like to help where I can, but being a noob and highly de-motivated by the instructional video means I might need help helping you....
Thats about it,
Thanks

Hey, I had a look at leedroid and cool, and I might give them a go, but they don't seem too different to the insertcoin Rom I'm using at the moment, plus I like the plain sense3 lockscreen
I'm more excited about finding a jellybean or ics Rom that is stable and doesnt tell me that 'my device is not compatible' with my Natwest app or vouchercloud

Hey,
Which Runnymede rom do you mean?
Cool 3D?
Runnymedemod007?
Runnymede AOI?
etc,
I have tried Runny Rom, and I agree it is stable, but it was also quite slow and jumpy for me, I don't know if I was using the right Kernel, but I think I was. I even OC'd to 1132 MHz, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
I'm now trying runnymede aio as suggested and so far I'm quite impressed, seems to be stable and smooth, except the weather, but its livable with.

Might want to try Paranoid Android 4.11 Jelly Bean. From my experience it's the most stable Jelly Bean rom for Desire. The currently most stable ICS is this.

I personally would not recommend any ics/jb rom for everyday use.

Well, yeah, ICS/JB roms are not too stable, but they are gradually getting better and better. I haven't had any major problems with any of the roms, except some occassional reboots or freezes - so far zero of them with this rom. And to be honest, I'd say that the ICS/Jellybean features and HWA are worth some discomfort. If you need to use the phone for work I wouldn't suggest them too much. But if your phone is mostly a "toy"/tinkering machine, go for it.
Also just noticed that OP had already tested the Paranoid Android JB rom... My bad. No problems for me with it so far. I didn't even know that my Desire could be this smooth :l.
I agree, I have tried most of the ics/jb roms now, and for a daily Rom I would stick with gingerbread, I'm getting back to sense at the moment, seriously considering a oneX+ when I can upgrade, although the Motorola maxx HD looks promising...

Which rom are you using? What's your setup? Feedback? Reasons? Screenshots?
Development has slowed down a lot on our beloved G2, so it made me curious what everyone has decided to use as their daily roms.
I am using pyromod cm7. Looking to switch. I love Jellybean roms but my sipdroid calling cuts out too much on those roms. Sipdroid works perfectly on gingerbread however.

Odp: Which room is everyone using?
Using pacman rom, but PA function isn't working, so I'm changing to cm7.

Mimicry 1.5 is smooth but has still some bugs. I tried some andromodus roms but ended with mimicry.

I stuck with Gen.Y VisionX R3 as it was the first one I installed and everything seems to work really well on it, and it's nice and quick. I didn't really feel like going CM as I like the Sense UI, and I always find that really simple things like calendar, contacts etc always have some sort of problem in the CM builds like the Facebook link to contacts breaking or the calendar randomly stopping syncing, but I do miss some of the extra customizability in the CM builds.
Im using blackice and it runs very well. Its 2.3.4, I love mimicry but for some reason it crashes my router. I personaly may try cm9 or the aokp rom.
I tried several ROM's but they would hang or reboot after running a day or two. Minicry even wouldn't start at all. TrickDroid is a nice Sence Rom, but it was very slow even using swap. Now I've switched to EliteMod & Kernel ICS and it runs fluently.
Unfortunately my beloved Dezire Z died last week.
Was using mimicry 1.5 for quite a time, but recently moved to Flinny's JB 4.2.2. Pretty much happy with it so far.
My DD is a fusion of gen y r3 and sense z lite. My kernel was based on virtous that I have re-configured for functionality. some of the rosie are was taken from desire x. bugs exist but nothing I cant handle and I dont intend to upload any of my work because some of it was taken from other devs work. When I started porting my rom I intended it for personal use only.
Currently I use ajhavery's Desire XZ 1.0 with APM mod (http://www.ajhavery.com/category/desire-xz/) and ckpv5's Tabbed Extended Quick Settings with battery percentage for myOnev 9.0 (here is his rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647052).
It is a very smooth Sense rom, the smoothest I think, just a pity that Rosie Lite can't get landscape mode.
I love tweaks and sense.
Venom ViperZ.
I tried almost all the recent roms, so far viperz is the most complete and stable one imo. With some tweaks, its fast as a fresh install of mimicry.
I ran mimicry for dd (4 months) before switching to viperz.
Flinny's CM10.1 ROMs. Once the phone gets going it runs pretty smooth for a two-year-old single-core phone.
