If you want a fast rom, you should choose between gingerbread or froyo.
If you want a rom with htc sense froyo is your best bet, there aren't stable roms with both gingerbread and sense.
Cm9 (ice cream sandwich) works fine but it won't be fast as gingerbread or froyo.

Why would you say Froyo is better with HTC sense?, will I be more limited to apps I can run with Froyo?
Thanks for you help

Yes, few apps don't work with froyo, but there aren't fully working roms with gingerbread+htc sense for wildfire (they all have gps, bluetooth and other things not working).
If you want a gingerbread rom choose an aosp one like cm7

For me the best it's gingerbread. However everyone has a different opinion, so you should choose the one that fits better your needs
for me gb roms are better too. u can install much more apps than on froyo (; for me it is faster and more stable. for A few months i use cm 7.2 stable and i never met bigger problems :3

I installed a froyo based rom to my HTC Desire . I thought that when i install a rom , the htc sense will remain same. Is there a mod to have htc sense on this phone?
No, nope, and not a hope.
Why ? By the way do you have a HTC Desire rom adviice to me ?

FroYo is stock Android and HTC haven't developed Sense to work with it yet. They'll release a Sense-based FroYo ROM once they're ready
There are some alternate apps that replace alot of the sense stuff, the only thing im really missing is the sense camera, do some searching on the apps forum and you can find alot of stuff.
if you miss sense that much, downgrade to a 2.1 rom, alot of good ones out there. I prefer to stay with froyo (even with the current flaws that still need to be fixed) due to the speed increase and flash

If HTC make a official rom, htc sense will be included, if not, never
Dev make rom with AOSP (Android Open Source Project), not with Sense
Sorry for my poor English, but I hope you understand ...
Edit : there is a lot of ROM in 2.3 just read, only one thing doesn't work ATM, this is the Camera.

I sort of understand.
I understand Sense isnt included and yes, that makes sense (no pun intended) as it is HTC's baby.
Then my question would be better suited as:
Are there stock 2.3 Android ROMs? Most ROMs I see in the developers section have stupid modifications and addons that I can put in myself. I want something stock and then Ill add the neccessary addons/themes if I want.
Look at Oxygen, it's built from source and is pretty much stock 2.3

I would wait a while yet I have tried Oxygen and although it works it not yet a viable replacement for a good Froyo ROM. I guess that as the maonth progresses things will change and Gingerbread will be good enough for every day use but it's just my opinion that it still has a way to go.
Thanks for all the replies Its a shame Sense isnt open source but there has to be a sales pitch somewhere.
July is being said for a update to 2.3 so...
Hi everyone,
Last week my dad bought my brother a Samsung Galaxy S phone, and I installed a custom ROM on it with one of the latest android versions.
The ROM looks really impressive and the Hebrew support is way better than it is on my own phone.
I have the 'classic' HTC Desire (not HD, Z or whatnot), with one of the early ROMs released (from Modoco if I remember right - I actually got the phone before a root for it was pubicly available).
I'm looking for a recommendation for a custom ROM to install. I really want proper Hebrew/RTL support in it, hopefully the gingerbread Hebrew keyboard which seems awesome, and since I've grown accustomed to the HTC Sense UI, I'd love to keep that as well.
What would you guys suggest?
There aren't many custom roms with Gingerbread in combination with HTC Sense if I am right. I know there is a custom gingerbread rom leaked with HTC sense a few days ago so that could be very good for us.
I really like Oxygen because it's really clean without software I don't need.

True, so far I havent find any real HTC Gingerbread rom, and those I did, were just filled with dodgy 'senselike' widgets, which is not the same... so I am still patiently waiting for 2.3 with sense
You could always have a look at the ported Z/HD roms for Desire, some of them are very nice. I am currently using RCMixHD 3.4 and I enjoy it a lot. It is basically an incremental update to sense with a few added optimizations.
Thanks for the replies.
AFAIK, the gingerbread keyboard can be ported to android 2.2.
The ROM I installed on my brother's phone was android 2.2.1 but had the gingerbread keyboard.
In regard to the HD ROMs, those can be installed on the regular Desire device?
The HD roms are quite feature rich as compared to Desire roms
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!

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
