I am currently running the official MIUI ICS 2.11.16 (http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/two-roms-miui-dhd-ics-4-0-4-2-11-23-new.18060/), running Sense 3.6.
I was wondering what decent kernel can be used with this ROM? It currently uses MIUI v4 3.0 Kernel but I have no clue if it is any good.
Also I am wondering what the differences are between the radio versions. I understand what the radio is but i am just not sure of the differences between these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34752496&posted=1#post34752496

Ok, if the kernel you are using has no issues, then it is good enough. Changing kernel should be done for experimentation or for assesment. If you are not sure about it, then it is best to keep the one you are running. I don't personally know about miui kernels compatibility, but always make sure that the kernel you are about to flash is compatible with your rom.
Radios have to signal strengh, wifi and data connectivity and relates to your geographical location, thou it is subjective how a radios works.Not all radios for the same for two similar devices. Changing radios is quite a delicate process and any error can end up in a brick. So, again read before doing it and if you are happy with your signal and battery life, then stay as you are. :good:

thanks for the reply, i guess ill stick with the kernel the MIUI rom comes with, as for radios i am not happy with my battery life at all so I would like to flash a new one, but on the DHD official radio thread it just lists the versions, not the differences between them

Each radio came with a version of Android. Lastest radios should be good enough for any DHD, thou that is not a exact science. Try finding someone in your are that is happy with his radio, or try a couple a see what happens.

a kernel is the core piece of software that runs an os, its responsible for many things including data processing at a h/w level, memory and power management. the radio, controls not just the radio stack (network.bluetooth,wifi,gps) but it also works like a massive driver pack for the device.... now a kernel is not that important, if you flash a bad or wrong kernel its easy to recover, the radio tho, is one of the deepest levels of software on your device, flashing a bad or wrong radio will perm-brick your device.

rcmixhd is a desire hd port, so it cant use the standard desire kernels, i dont think there are any extra kernels availible for thoes roms, as for the radio, i think the latest desire froyo ones are the best, your radio performance depends on many variables including location, you should try a few see what one gives you best signal/battery performance

It can(and it does) use the stock desire kernels.
IMO the richardtrips OCUV Sense kernel is the best for it, and along it with use 11.14 radio(the latest one). The older one were giving me GPS problems with that ROM.
Think i am ready to take the plunge to root my desire and also install a custom ROM. Just have a few queries that need some clarification and suggestions.
1. My radio version is 5.09.05.30_2 do i need to update this when when installing a custom ROM
2. Suggestions on Sense custom ROMs that have fast kernels with low battery drain. I have read a lot about Cyanogen ROMs which seems quite popular but its a non Sense ROM and would appreciate one with Sense. Kinda Like it.
Thanks in anticipation of the goodies!!
1. See what radio the ROM developer suggests and use that
2. I'd go all out and use the RCMixHD ROM - easily the best Sense-based ROM available and it's based on the Desire HD ROM...but that's just my opinion (wait for the LeeDroid brigade to chime in!!)
I'm far from an expert but i just flashed the latest radio onto my phone and went for LeeDroid 2.2f, which i've been running for a week or two, seems pretty stable so far. I was planning on trying a few ROMs before i get too settled into one.
which radio would that be?
For latest radio, see my signature. But as said, it's best to use the one recommended in the ROM thread if in doubt
LeeDroid seems to be quite appealing at the moment. Any known bugs for 2.2f
Don't know, not a fan of LeeDroid - don't like the custom wallpapers and apps that are used. Prefer mine to look as stock as possible
Which ROMs look as stock as possible?
Teppic's is basically stock with root access and optional extras
I haven't found any bugs at all yet, my current radio is 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 which definately works fine with LeeDroid 2.2f, well it does on my Desire at least !
Any links to where i could get that Teppic's and is it stable with improved speed and low battery drain? Sorry am asking too many questions
Go look for it in ROM development - it's not that hard to do
What's LeeDroid like on battery?

VillianRom and PinkyDesire are both excellent choices.
LeeDroid Brigade here...... I have tried every ROM possible and the latest LeeDroid offering ,2.2f, is by far the most stable bug free ROM I have ever used. The RCMixHD ROM is very good, if you can live without the camera for the time being.

I get around a day and a half, using generally everything, including Sat Nav.
I've been searching in the development section for a while, looking for any ICS or other ROM which is stable for daily use. All I find are attempts by people who say either they are not devs or it is their first attempt to make a ROM and sicne I don't have time now for trying and testing, could anyone point me to a stable, fully working ROM for daily use? is there any ICS working ROM or they are all buggy for now. The one I currently have is from an older 2.3.5 but I haven't found any newer either. IF ICS is not ready yet, then which 2.3.5 is using the latest base and is stable?

This is the most stable of all ICS roms.......But do keep in mind that some things might never work due to the lack of OMX binaries for ARMv6 devices
The things include video recording,full video playback,a perfectly working camera

I've read this which is marked as "not suitable for daily use" and daily use includes camera and video recording so if that's the best for now, ICS must not be an option for me.
This means that my question changes which 2.3.5 ROM is using the latest base and is quite reliable? I have to say that I haven't found any ROM to convince me that is realible or those that I found are using older base. Maybe there are some that are far away from the latest list and I haven't seen them.
Anyway, if someone uses a ROM with latest official build and it is fast, reliable and tuned well for battery and space usage, please recommend it to me.

Already tried the first one some time ago. It's a bit old and if I remember correctly it uses an older base, plus it has many necessary components removed (like, widgets)
The second one, I've seen it already and it seems that it has most parts chosen for bangladesh. Maybe I'm wrong but I usually avoid installing a ROM from someone who says he is not a developer and he attempts to make a ROM for the first time. Nothing againsta that dev but I'd rather save some time. That's why I posted here.
I think that everyone must have moved to CM and development on WFS must have seized so I guess I'm staying with that old ROM.
Hello Everybody,
especially kernel developpers! Please try to have a look at the issue, in my opinion is a kernel repack issue, googled it to death without a solution! Slowly everybody is moving on to new HBOOTs and the 4.2 project is still far from stable.

Trip's ROM and his kernel combined have working GPS. As far as I know, not much kernel devs can do without the source.
I know that, I am using SlimBean, love the rom, but the thread support is a bit...let's say, slow (rather non existent). I looked for smth like a stable release, I saw that they have anounced that this is the final version of 4.1 and they start working on 4.2. No busgs in the rom. Of course, in no changelog or issue list the nonfunctional GPS issue is not mentioned. I am still convinced that there is a way to do it! I'll keep roaming the forum!
It is likely to be sorted when jb kernel sources are released.
And don't ask when, nobody knows.
Sent from my HTC One X
Of course I don't ask when, I never ask when, but does at least anyone know what the issue is?

Probably kernel incompatibility with newer hboots.
Apparently there is micro kernel responsible for the GPS and the repack for the new boots is not done right.
No one any idea?
Answer:
"People started to get confusing when newer hboot versions stopped working with custom ROMs: The reason for this is that people used an ancient init binary that crashed with newer hboot releases."

I too suffered loss of GPS after updating to 1.31
I have tried a number of NON sense roms, but Ice Cold Jelly running Android 4.2.1 is good. Working GPS again - phew!

Hi, I am looking for a ROM that is stable and faster than stock. What ROM would be the best for this? I haven't really tried ROMs since I last put Cyanogenmod on my CDMA HTC Hero, so I don't have the best idea of what's out there and what works. I also searched "performance ROM" just to make sure this hadn't been asked recently.
I'm running TWRP and the latest SuperSU, if that matters.

There won't be a faster Rom. What you can try is flash a kernel that supports overclocking. Although, imho, you won't be blown away by the increased performance, it's all marginal.
Stock Rom is already very fast. Other Roms will also be very fast. It's usually a matter of options that the custom Roms offer. You can tweak more. But will they have a noticeable performance improvement, I think not. YMMV obviously

Ah, thank you. I had such a massive performance jump from 1.6 to 2.2 and then 2.2 to 2.3 Cyanogenmod on my Hero that I thought I might get something similar out of a custom ROM again.

Simply make a Nandroid of your current Rom and experiment like crazy
If you find a custom Rom that blows you away: keep using it. If you don't find any advantages or worse: restore Nandroid :good:
Custom ROM makes only sense if you want special functions / features of a specific ROM.
Many special features can also be activated in stock ROM by apps like Xposed, GMD apps etc.
So most probably a custom ROM is unnecessary. Just look for a good kernel (Franco, Elementalx, Faux...) if you want added performance, battery life or filesystem support.
