My desire sucks

I have TELUS HTC desire 2.1 no root or mods when I go to text everything i type is delayed and then will just pop up all at once and then when I go to actually send my text it takes up to two minutes sometimes to appear in the messages as being sent. Quite frequently it will also force close almost daily. Anyone else having a same issue?

I have this exact same problem. My Telus Desire seems to be so sluggish. Would installing a custom ROM fix these problems?

HTC desire is one of the snappiest devices I ve ever used. but I have unlocked phone so not sure If it is carrier specific . I would suggest getting a replacements or flashing. A cUstom Rom or factory reset

And TELUS promise 2.2 mid October and still nothin idk how to fix this phone its very sluggish I have unlocked the phone and using it with Rogers

Unlocking the phone will not make it faster, your carrier has filled it with bloatware or screwed the rom.
Install one of the many great roms from here and you will see the difference.

Can u please tell me how ? And do I have to be rooted ? Is there any one click rooting . Which Rom is good that must have app2sd . Sorry I came from xperia x10 , HTC desire is totally different

I have the same phone and is unlocked to Fido.
I don't have much delays anywhere yet.
I only gripe about the battery life !

Also haptic feedback causes the keyboard to be lagggy when using it. Try turning that off.

yes you have to be rooted, use the unrevoked 3 method for mine worked piece of cake follow the tutorial on here, then install a custom rom after you do a backup, you will definetly see the difference try cynogenmod, my desire is definetly the fastest ph ive ever had and have certainly not had the problems you guys are talking about! let me me know how u go

desire with 2.1 is sluggish, 2.2 is a massive speed boost and if you unroot it add ad2sd+ and some custom kernel with CFQ scheduler the speed will amaze you

im going to assume you know basic computing, like finding device manager etc?
after youve rooted the easiest way to install roms is to download rom manager from market. MAKE SURE YOU DO A BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING A NEW ROM
then you can download a rom straight to your ph from this website in :desire android development forum and then install it via rom manager,
happy ROOTING!!!!!

Thank you soo much bro ill try that ASAP. Does the Rom u have does that have sense UI and app2sd ?

actually just tryin sense hd at moment. no camera yet but when someone cracks it, it will be the one a stick with i think, its very nice a bit unstable yet tho, im always changing my roms as get bored quickly, you'll find one that you like, and you probably get addicted to to changing all the time to once you start like i did, sort of like getting a new ph each time lol, the devs are awsome, wish i could get into that side but wouldnt know where to start!!
let me know how you go!!!

I think u should update your phone to android 2.2 froyo.

Super fast!
Not running Froyo yet, no root, stock ROM (waiting for Telus Froyo release).
Super fast, super smooth,
I find it slows down after about 2 weeks of always on, but a re-start fix's that.
I read 'droids have slow-down because of how the OS operates, so restart your device at least once a week.
I won't even bother to flash a ROM until there is a stable Gingerbread ROM available........maybe Root after 2.2 update.
Still very impressed with the device + GPS connects in 3 secs ( much to dismay of my samsung friends )

Stock vs. Custom

Hello guys !
Im a newbie and i have a question. Which is more secure and stable ? A Custom Rom or Stock Rom ?
Which do you use an recommend, Stock or Custom Rom ? Its not a question about which Custom Rom ;-)
If there is already a similar Thread, i apologize...

The stock rom is probably what you want to stay on for stability. if you want really cool customization and tweaks go with a custom rom, but remember if you are on a custom rom you cant take OTA updates from google.

I know that, but I think also about, is it really possible, that maybe 10 people can make a better Rom? Google has many employees which working on this for long time. Sorry my english isnt perfect, I hope you understand what I mean.

You have to remember that the majority of people probably dont want a phone which they can customise in any which way that they want. Google need to cater for the masses and create an OS that is at least relatively simple.
Individuals on forums such as these however, feel differently and love the chance for customization. The developers working on after market ROMS create those options and customizations for people that really want them. And their ROMS are based on the source code provided by Google and their many employees - so nothing is lost in that sense.
This is what I think any way!

Are they all "better"? No. Do they offer more features/customization? Yes. Do these features/customization often break something that already works? Yes.

Sometimes it's only one "dev" kanging code.
Regardless, we have some VERY talented devs here. And it's not like they are creating android from scratch, they are using the code that Google has open sourced, so all of the custom roms are essentially STOCK + unique features not part of AOSP. This also makes them not as stable as stock android, pick your poison

That was a good answer !
Thats where is my point, di
oes it really make sense...all time Full-Wipe...backup..flash gapps...then something doesnt work..
but on the other side it looks awesome ! Its just, what do they really change ? Is it stil safe for me as user ?
Taptalked by GNex

I think custom roms can often be more stable because bugs are constantly found and fixed on a daily basis. A stock rom may have a bug but will take months for the next update from google.
Also custom roms are just stock roms with additions, so its the same code base anyway.

its mostly about the tweaks that Google didn't put in .. all roms are the same to me since they all base off 4.0.x unless someone builds a sense or Touchwiz rom.
The only thing that makes roms different is the feature list and kernel

It's all very easy once you do it a few times. Customization is awesome. Like the full screen mod getting rid of the softkeys so anything that your doing (game, videos, etc) that keeps the softkeys there, will now be full screen without the softkeys. Just little things like that plus much more than make custom roms better than stock.

Bugs are constantly found for custom ROMs because they've not been tested so much compared to stock before they are being released. (Not saying that stock is bug free but each official version has gone through aggressive testing)
If stability and security are your top concerns then stay stock - this is a no-brainer. Custom ROMs are for people who are more adventurous and want to have more fun with their phones.

So there are more people on Stock or on Custom Roms ? I heard that many people say its a "developer phone", but on the other Hand people say they bought it because they dont want to flash anymore C-Roms.

Many people want different things, that's why there are custom roms

Of course there are way more people on stock than rom flashers. People like my mom got the phone to use it, not to flash ROMs.
When people said 'it's a developer phone', it doesn't mean the phone is not suitable for daily use or only developers know how to use it. On the contrary, it's a phone that showcases how the latest OS SHOULD look and feel like. It serves as a reference point to how developers should design their apps.

Good answer !
I read a lot of problems like massive battery drain or FCs etc. etc. also I read about speed improvements and great battery life. I can change already a lot of things with a different Launcher.

The thing with all product discussion forums is, people will only post/seeking help if they ran into problems. (Will you go to a Samsung forum and start a thread with 'my TV/camera is working as intended?' ) So these forums are always filled with error reports/complaints. Sometimes it's hard to see if it's really error by design or just the unlucky few with defective devices.
XDA makes it even more complicated because this is a modding community. Half of the complaints are probably just human errors - bad flash, wrong radio, incompatible apps the list goes on...
Long answer short, you DON'T have to mod your phone to reap all its benefits. You are not missing out things if you don't want to customize it.

I completly agree, thats why I also started this thread. I was talking with some people about it. Its nice to customize, but do i need these small things with the possibility to get issues
Are you on Stock ?
Taptalked by GNex --STOCK--

Brother man its all about what you want and love. I could nit would not run stock. I have way more fun with custom roms. But to each there own. I must say, I would never have my mother run a custom from. First I would be her tech support, next its not what she needs. But you keep having fun with what you need / do.

I was actually talking about bugs in stock. Its much quicker to fix them in custom roms since the fix will be rolled out in a few days, but we'd be waiting months to get the same fix from google in an update.
Sure new bugs from custom roms may appear too from the new additions. But its still all the stock code base anyway...

ROMs are usually the result of tweaking, prodding, removal to enhance the phone's ability to function. Some things aren't necessary, and some things can be made to cater to a specific user. Obviously, google cannot cater to individual needs, but that's why so many ROMs exist, you can found out what you like and stick to it!
That's why I switched to android from my iPhone 4s. I love messing with my phone, and android is the platform that encourages this

[Q] Wildfire S ROM Comparison latest

Do we have any thread on ROM comparison for Wildfire S??
I tried searching in forums but seems like all threads are quite old and dont seem to have any latest info...
Any development forums are really confusing for some newbie like me...Its hard to decide what ROM should I use.
My usage is for daily use, I dont have any spare phone to try out different options :crying:

ROM Comparison
Best ROM I've tested so far: Wild Child 2 Lite Odex (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652973)
+ Full Root Access
+ 120 MB free Memory as promised
+ High battery duration (No useless apps, Nemus Launcher is one of the best in battery saving)
+ Stable, fast and fully functionable (as far as I tried)
Worst ROM I've tested so far: MIUI v.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735773)
- Battery lasts for < 6 hours without WIFI or phone calls
- No Root Access although pronounced
+ Stable, fast and fully functionable (as far as I tried) - and looks nice!
Other software I would suggest:
# Droid Wall (Great Firewall, highly customable, needs almost no resources)
# Root App Delete (Get rid of useless system apps)

That's why I wrote "worst rom I'VE TESTED SO FAR", I truly believe there are far worse solutions out there...
I just wanted to post it because a cool-looking design can't replace a good battery and memory management. That's the wrong way if you ask me...

Get a stock rom. Flash recovery.Flash OC kernel. Flash Beats. Flash Super SU get some bussybox instaler app from market, install busybox. There you go stock rom with oc and root and all you need to do is learn how to use google and to flash zips. Best rom worst rom its all bull**** every package that is in the moded roms can be found in this forum. So ppl stop asking for things, do them yourself. Its not a brain surgery its zip flashing.

Flashing zips is NOT rocket science
I'm with Baluuu on this, Now I've graduated I'll have some time to play with my 2 WFSs. one's stock the other's running WildChild3. I want to learn how to make my own ROMs. I'm not afraid of compiling from source in Linux, but I want to understand the architecture of a ROM in more detail, and it seems that the best way is to get my hands dirty.

The marvellous sense 3.5 rom, overclockable to 815 mhz, you can choose between viper4android (recommended, i am using it ) and beats audio, gps working great thanks to the choosable gps configuration. It is the same as sense 2.1 (stock 2.3.5) but more functions and more widgets, and way more fast. Nice battery life. Hope this helped you

[Q] [4.2.2] PARANOIDANDROID v3.60 | HALO |

Hello guys i have few questions about this rom from WoH, at the moment i am using 4.2.2 rom based on CM 10.1 from VJ, but his version will not have update soon, so i decide to check install new rom from my topic. I have few question if You can answer it will be nice:
*1* Does work properly the sound of messages? For VJ roms i usually use low sound fixer, but without luck. So rom have any issuess about sound? Works fine? Sound is loud and i can hear the sms sound? (Everybody who have VJ rom know about this problem)
*2* Does work the headset or earphones without any problem? (Now when i plug in my headset i always have soft reboot)
*3*Can You compare to VJ rom based on CM 10.1? (Speed, performance, battery drain, soft reboots etc.)
*4*It is possible to disable HOLO - i mean thing like quick menu
*5*Could You write Pros and cons of the WoH rom? Any problems issuess and possible fix or some tips?
Thank You guys!

Easiest way would be to nandroid backup your current rom, then install this ROM and try it out for yourself.
1 - don't know
2 - don't know
3 - this will be very different for different people and setups, again you are the best judge based on your setup and usage, not someone else's
4 - yes, I use PA on my nexus 7. It's disabled by default I believe.
5 - pros and cons will be quite subjective, read the thread to see what's working and other people's responses. Again you'll be the best judge if you install it.

Well, thanks, but You don't help me so much. I found on the forum few things, at first i want to compare to HTC DESIRE in DESIRE thread not to Nexus 7 or any other device. For example few things work perfect on nexus 4, not on Desire like Camera. About pros and cons it will be for example, good performance, but fast battery drain. Many other things. So You don't know so much. I ask people which got experience with HTC Desire and have this rom on this phone.
So BUMP please

The ROM is still a port, and I've used it for a different device true. However Halo is part of the ROM, and it can be disabled. Other things can be found out by reading the thread, or better yet....just installing it and trying it.

I may not have experience in that exact ROM, but trust me I know enough to help you as I have helped many other people here
"Good performance, but fast battery drain" is subjective....how exactly do you define "good" or "fast" in this case? Some people define good as "stable...but has a few random reboots", but is this ok for you? Others don't mind lag, but might find it good as it's latest android with a few more features.
Fast battery drain varies massively depending on how you use the device, no two people use them the same way. You have not told us how you even use your device, and what you define to be "good" or "fast battery drain"
From bumping it, you could get some replies from a limited number of users. Some saying it's AMAZING / LAGGY / OK, some saying it has amazing battery / poor battery / suitable for medium / light / heavy usage...but you have no idea how they use their phone, how many ROMs they've tried for comparison, or the age of their battery etc. And again their perception of good or fast battery drain is different from yours. You may think getting 'reviews' from others is useful, but I'm merely warning you they can be very misleading for various reasons
In all this time you have waited for replies...you could have easily made a nandroid backup and just tried the ROM yourself. This is always the best way of testing for your usage and setup like I said, not from other people with completely different usage...then you make up your own mind and see if it's suitable for you
If you don't like it, you have a nandroid backup to go back to, so I don't see why you're waiting...

Well, You suggest to better install before ask about sth. At the moment imo i am using a good rom. I create topic to not spam thread in developers section. I have time to change rom, but i want to do it in future. Some people, used other roms and maybe have experience and they can share opinions.
So at the moment few questions:
- is here in WoH roms a soft reboots? How often?
- as i know all JB roms got problems with camera, what about recording? In VJ rom my video playback, which i record is lagged and broken, what with WoH rom?
- there is some issuess with headset or earphones, when You plug into the phone?
- is here a low sound notification problem? Any fix?
I am asking, because i don't want to spend time to testing, i can install or sth, but not have too much time for reinstalling and finding the best one. Few questions give me an answer what i am looking for
For me it is better to ask, than shouting about problem.

[Q] The most RAM saving ROM

Greetings,
I've been around for some time, lurking mostly. And installing a ROM with ICS or JB on my Galaxy W was a wonderful way to innovate. It feels like I'm using a brand new phone, which is awesome.
I have tried Cyanogen mod and Paranoid Android and even the PAC roms. But the issue I run while using them is that my ram seems to be full most of the time, and it's filled with system apps more than my own apps. Which limits the phone seriously. I am almost unable to use Swiftkey for typing online or even messages, since it lags too much the phone.
I plan on keeping a couple of apps like a battery saver, Aviate launcher and occasionally a traffic monitor app like 3g Watchdog.I've been thinking about going back to Gingerbread versions, although new ones seem more enticing with features/apps like Google now.
I'm breaking my question in two parts:
1 - Can a more advanced android version like JB (or maybe KK) help make the system faster and the ram management more efficient? Or should I stick with a rom similar to stock?
2 - What roms do you recommend? Which Kernel? Or should I just face the fact my phone won't be able to comply with my current needs and I should ask Santa for an iPhone?
thanks

2 - What roms do you recommend? Which Kernel? Or should I just face the fact my phone won't be able to comply with my current needs and I should ask Santa for an iPhone?
thanks

For future reference, and to save the trouble for other people who may come here and need to search the thread:

Thank you very much.
PS: in the mean time I'm open to more suggestions, just in case.

U should also give a try to monster build rev16. Im using it as daily build and its really light weight.

The rom crashes the settings applet everytime I try to change language to Portuguese.
Can't add widgets with aviate launcher (settings crashes)
otherwise seems alright.
