[Q] Best 4.x ROM for everyday usage - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I have HTC DHD and I was very sad whne HTC decided not to release ICS for it.
I am running 2.3.3 cooked by user Seraphic which means stock ROM with these modification applied
This rom has the following applied to it:
* Rooted
* Zipaligned

Click to collapse
Basically I want stock ROM but rooted.
Overall I am very happy with stock but there is 1 thing that I miss from ICS release and that is Gtalk for multiple account at the same time, which is not available in Gingerbread.
I don't want experimental unstable builds that have a lot of features not working
Can you suggest me a ICS ROM that has almost everything working that worked in stock ROMs please?
Ideally something looking stock with the stability and features of stock ICS and root access.
Thank you for your suggestions in advance

I don't use GTALK for multiple account, but virtuous infinity is the best rom i have ever had ... and, trust me, I try a lot of ROMS
Try it and enjoy!

+1 for that if you like sense

For Sense 3.6, I'd recommend Blackout and for Sense 4, try Sabsa Prime. Virtuous Infinity is great as well but I find it laggy for me although I haven't tried it yet with the new kernel. I've tried most of the ICS roms currently available and find Ice Cold Sandwich works the best for me. Its really a matter of personal preference.

thanks for your answers
do most features work in those suggested roms? (e.g. Camera and Camcorder, ... ?)

Each ROM has their own set of unique bugs. For example, Blackout has a known Hotspot problem which may or may not have been fixed. I don't have a data plan and just use WIFI as its readily available where I am located so the Hotspot is not an issue for me. Sabsa Prime 6.5 should have the Camera/Camcorder fixed from previous versions. If not search the thread for an earlier version camera fix. Just don't ask for it as it is a touchy subject.
If you plan to try Virtuous Infinity, install V1.33.0 Alpha 3 first and then install the OTA updater to get to V1.35.0 Beta 1. I found most features worked better (i.e adding certain widgets to the home screen) for me using this method rather than installing V1.35.0 Beta 1 by itself.

Ics: I would go with ice cold sandwich (lord clokan)
Jelly bean: jellytime r 15 (randomblade).
Ice cold sandwich its an AOKP - Rom, which means that it has allot more options.
Sent from my Desire HD

i have triend many sense and other roms. all sense roms are slower as compared to aokp ones.
ice cold sandwich 8.7 is best .
BUT camera works better in sense roms.
blackout ics is the one i will prefer if i want perfect camera result nd ice cold sandwich if i am not to keen about the result of the camera

best Android 2.3 + Sense Rom

Hello guys,
I can't decide which Android 2.3 + Sense Rom I should flash on my DHD.
there are the following Roms to choose:
- LeeDroid HD 2.3.4 beta 3
- CoreDroid V4
- Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 1
- VillainRom 2.0.1
- RCMix HD 4.2
Which Rom did you choose and why did you choose it ???
Thanks very much
VillainROM because Nathan, the maker of it, made also many very excellent ROMs for the HTC Hero and so I trust him that he'll also make good ROMs for Desire HD.
i had leedroid 2.2 and it worked fine. then i wiped my phone and installed leedroid 2.3, but only part of sense showed up on my phone! really weird. then i flased RCmix 2.3 and it works brilliant!
you mean RCMix HD 4.2, right ??
If you MUST use Sense (I dont know why...) The Beta ARHD 4.0 is your best bet. Its a good experience so far.
That said, I am a CM7 User, and I hate Sense, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I had the same question some time ago and it's often a thing of personal decision. So you probably will have to try for yourself. All the ROMs have good performance.
I'm using Revo HD because it looks like stock but with nice tweaks.

Only reason that I use sense is because I like some of the Sense apps(Dialer and messaging mainly)
I'd Choose either of Revolution or Leedroid , both are gr8 roms, the others listed Tbh i havent flashed those on my DHD so can't really give my opinion on those tilli try em out. i've used leedroid since v.1.5 and its been my personal fave one to use daily.

Actually I am concerned about the daily usability of the different builds and if it's worth to jump to gingerbread seen the source is a leaked build probably in very early stage. I would like to try it but I feel so confortable with AR3 ... Please someone tell me I would not regret it

You could always back up your rom before flashing ?
I would obviously do it, but I am so lazy that was wondering if this rom is worth it ... I promise I'll do my homeworks and let you know here if it is
Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 1 without a doubt.
Beta 2 out tomorrow so maybe you should wait for that one to flash.

Any idea what time beta 2 is being released?? Im looking forward to going to Gingerbread but am completely reliant on my phone for work and dont have a spare so want it to be as stable and have everything working before i take the plunge!! Also does anyone know if the GB roms can be overclocked yet and which radio should be used??
Thanks in advance!!
Nevermind, just checked and Beta 2 is OUT NOW!!!!
I am using leedroid 2.3.4 beta 4 r2. The reason i'm running this is that i have used his leedroid vesion on my phone since i bought it, and that he is very quick with updates and fixes. Also lee's rom is always lightning fast!

Everyone's list of necessary features is different, so "fully working" means different things to everyone. For example, I rarely use my camera, but for some that's a deal breaker. The only way to answer your question is to try them. There are lists of bugs in the OPs of ROM threads in the development forum, along with a sticky index of all of the ROMs.

I have checked almost all the ICS ROM and i liked the Sabsa Prime v4.1 | 4.0.3 | Sense 4a.
But there is a camera issue problem but i fixed that yesterday. and now the ROM is perfect to me.
Why Not Give it a Try to all the ROM with sense 4 and which ever you feel the best then go for it. everyone has different opinion

why didnt you originally state you wanted to advertise Sabsa, far too many alledged help posts are aimed at advertising particular roms. not really cricket is it ??????
Iv'e been running Blackout ISC Incredible v.3.1.0 for a few days. but it's Sence 3.6
I've been running sabsa since 3.0 version, it's the fastest and most stable rom that I've tried running on ICS, I suggest you to try it. Do a nandroid backup so eventually you can easily go back to gb.

Most ICS ROMs I've seen are already 100%
Sent from my inter galactic super fantastic communication device.
useless thread,
if there is such rom everyone would be using it but then again people have different taste and some roms are better for others. You just have to look around and find out which one works best for you.

[Q] There is a stable rom without reboots?

I need my DHD for work, I have currently the prime Sabsa Rom 8.5 and I've tried a few and I can not find one that is stable, without restarts and without stay frozen, from time to time. I have bad luck or may not have an updated rom without these problems?
Any advice?
1. wrong thread!? how can you miss that lol.
2.something that you are doing is making the rom reboot or its a bug, post the problem to the thread. maybe they can help you
Wrong thread. But if you need stable rom you should try any GB based rom e.g. Energy, RevolutionHD,LeeDroid and so on. Do not install ICS based rom 'cause they are not stable enough for daily use or have some minor bugs which can drive crazy.
The only stable, fully working sense roms are the sense 3.x roms.
Affinity
Android Revolution
etc.
All the ICS roms except Icecoldsandwich have major or minor bugs like camera issues, dialer issues or non working headset buttons.
So, if you want a stable rom I'd personally recommend a sense 3.5 rom.
Try aospx by existz. I found it very stable. Ran it for weeks now issues. Now I have moved on to jelly time.
Sent from my Inspire 4G
try official cm7 or official HTC roms.
and move this thread some1.
the most stable ics rom I find is Existz AOSP. it's located in the inspire development :good:
In the end I did was to format the SD card, hacele one full Wipe, install the rom 8.0 and then the 8.5 and after a week I work very well.
Thanks for your interest.
Jellytime is very stable ive only had one reboot since i started to use it..

[Q] need help with choosing rom for Desire

Hi there,
I know, some of you will tell "search", but I am reading, reading, reading... and I can't find rom which according to comments:
- is stable and has no bugs (battery drain, videocam etc.)
- is possibly fastest and smoothest
- is light (no unneeded features)
- is able to install any app on SD card
- JB would be pleasent, but ICS and GB are also acceptable, with Sense or not, doesnt matter.
Can you recommend something? I just want to install it and forget that I have rooted phone.
Thankyou in advance and greetings.

Jb and ics roms will have bugs they are still a working progress, if you want something stable stick with gb I would recommend mildwild its fast stable
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Check out the rom I'm using. It's very fast and stable.
Cronmode 2.xx (current 2.1) for Desire, ICS (int2ext, swap, light trebuchet launcher, few apps, working camcorder, themes, 3g, wifi tether, usb tether etc.), my daily rom since november 2012. You can also give a try to marius.a ICS rom, is still in progress but dev is improving it at the moment, u can even ask him
Thanks a lot, I will try it. Is there also some alternative with Sense (any version)?
There is an ICS with Sense 4.1 - CoolDroid Revolution v 9.0 but I cannot recommend is for daily using. In my opinion is very unstable, and most of functions are partialy either not working When you want a sense 3.5 or lower you gonna have to use GB roms like that one from RSK team.
Cool Droid V3. Fastest Sense ROM i ever tried.
Sent from my HTC Desire

Which ROM do you recommend?

I'm thinking about changeing ROM in my Desire, Right now I'm using MildWild 5 (from here) but it's missing few small things I need.
Which of GB ROMs do you recommend? Why GB? Because I would like to have Camera fully working (only one 4.0 ROM has it running, but that ROM is only in English and Chinese).
Looking for something stable, this is the most important for me, someting that doesn't have problems with battery and of course has camera fully working. Also it need to have more then just english and chinese language
Would be nice if it was something based on Sense ROM's with few adjustments. Have tried already LeeDroid and I'm thinking about using it once again, but wanted to know if there is something else worth to try.
Thank you
Best Rom so far (AOSP)

PS: to have a sense feel, use supernova rom
there is cool ex sense ics themed rom or you could try mildwild for a stock ,dont go for any sense rom base on 3.5 or higher found they lag like hell
any rom based on sense 3.0 and below works well .

If u want stable , u should go to stock rom
Mildwild is still my favourite since its fast and stable.
I tried ChromiumRom for its look but found it to be a little laggy for my daily usage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205516
MIUI-XJ was my first rom and really liked for its ability to switch up themes easily in 2.3.7 and its "iPhone-esque" feel but soon realised it was a bit heavy on resources and thus battery suffered.
Desire is getting old now so i would say go for the latest 'stable and fast' blend of ROM.
Presumably you are needing video camera to work fully, not just the still camera?
CarbonRom KitKat 4.4.3 and AOSB KitKat 4.4.4 - these are my favorites.
4.4.4 Beanstalk RC6
It's faster than GB!
Do you want stability and absolutely everything working? Then go for any (aosp preferably) gingerbread rom.
Do you want bleeding edge of development? Then go for the latest evervolv nightly based on 4.4.4 android. But you should forget video recording and expect some rough edges and no guarantees on stability.
It is a matter of choice after all.

All the best
