I am probably going to root my friends DHD soon and wondering if I should stick with CM7.2 as I presume its pretty rock solid and reasonably fast or go with an ICS or JB rom that obviously has newer features but could be less stable. I know everyone's perfect roms aren't the same but are there any ICS/JB roms out there for the DHD that are stable, quick, having (almost) everything worling and preferably stock AOSP rather than sense?
I'm from the desire so don't know much about the DHD scene, any recommendations would be appreciated
Cheers
I should try Sabsa Prime V9 (can't judge V10 yet) because it's so smooth as you possibly won't see ever again in a Sense ROM.

aospX. It's in the Inspire 4G forums, but I4G ROMs are compatible with DHDs. Almost pure AOSP.
EDIT: Another advantage is that aospX is still actively supported by the developer existz; the other AOSP-like ROM (though AOKP) is IceColdSandwich in the DHD forums, but the developer LordclockaN has officially moved on (thought he still stops by every now and then). aospX updates less often, but each one is rock solid.
I would personally recommend AOKP over AOSPx- it's been updated a little more recently, and a lot more tweaks. Stable too. However, the camera is no where up to par with the HTC Sense ones- with a sense ROM I can take digital camera quality images, whereas with the stock AOSP camera I can at best take semi okay images. Maybe not an issue, but for me it was.
ViperDHD is the best 4.x and HTC Sense ROM for our phone in terms of tweaks, but I think it's slow as a hog, although others may have different experiences.
I wouldn't go with JB if your friend needs someone else to root their phone . While it's mostly stable, battery life isn't always up to par. The only ROM I've gotten daily user battery life from is MIUI by bliind (haven't tried the knew one though)
However, my final recommendation would be Blackout ICS. It's extremely stable, is fairly fast, and has a good amount of tweaks. Sense 3.6 android 4.0.4. If you want to go with GB, go with blackice and change the dpi back to stock (240).
Better yet, check out my sig
Ok thank you for the recommendations guys ill have a look.
Cheers!

After testing several ROM's I'd like to see your opinion about which one is runnig the smoothest - I still stick to robo's HD version right now. And yes I know there isn't THE smoothest rom, I'm just interested in some opinions.
I have to say in terms of hd I found rcmixhf the best but by far the best so far has to be leedroid nice mixture of features and reliability not to mention battery. Miui is the fastest and best non sense very stylish fast and reliable though I'm not a fan of the the way the apps are stored.

I have tested almost every major rom.
I have decided to stick with Cyanogen
Now switched to Miui .29 ....lolzzzz
I think it would be auraxTsense 7.9 for me followed closely by AlexV1.7. I never had much luck with ASOP rom on the desire.
Have to say leedroid 2.2e is as fast and smooth as you can get it, OD is still favourite thought.
I've allways had a softspot for Cyanogen roms, alltho I'm way to much in love with the Sense UI. After all Sense roms I've tried I've become very impressed with Pays roms. He's not updating like crazy and all updates are as steady and smooth as can be, imo.
Only backside with all Sense roms is that noone has implemented the BlueZ bluetooth stack. I want to be able to use my Wiimote, damn it!
Hey guys been using autax recently love the Rom currently on 8.0,but having problems with the more recent versions , tried downloading leedroid but won't download I'm in the UK and hear leedroid is more British based is that true
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
What does British based even mean?
If you want to download the rom:
Direct link: http://db.tt/JSnpstN
Dropbox folder: http://db.tt/IaHeWx7
You might want to wait because new version is almost ready and if you can it's best to start with a full wipe.
this is just personal prefernce, as i have insatlled both.
for me leedroid wins (ATM)
Sorry as in Apns and for example on Google search it would preference American sites and dollars instead of English and pounds

Good to know , could you tell "us" why?!
Hopefully I'll receive my HTC Desire tomorrow, based upon this sheet and your answer I would also opt for Leedroid I guess.
I'm only doubting whether to try one of the Sense HD roms instead... The Sense experience looks very sexy, but I wonder how the speed and stability stack up...
Leedroid is actually the only sense rom i was able to use for a while. Looks like it's the most stable, least bloated and also pretty good battery wise. It was very well supported in the past, but lately the dev bought a DesireHD and he's now mantaining mostly his rom for that device, so don't expect loads of updates anymore.
@ OP - Have you considered giving Neo's alternative Sense based ROM a try? Im currently running ReflexTSenseHD v1.4.1, which is based on the Official Desire HD (FRF91) Sense 2.0 ROM. It seems pretty stable (not had one FC or any other bugs to report) and is a very good ROM in terms of performance - really speedy and smooth.
ReflexTSenseHD v1.4.1 is mega
Leedroid is a very good rom, but i love the custom theme that neo puts in.
it really is down to preferance
I tried the modaco r9 but adfree a while it became dead slow.
I'm now on Aurax T sense 8.0 from neophyte and I have to say it's very fast and stable plus it looks good too.

I would not put it this way. Lee just updated his desire rom and it's once again close to perfection.
I definitely recommend Lee's rom.

Just to throw a spanner in the works
I used leedroid and auraxt for quite a while.
auraxt 8 won for me
As far as HD roms go you could do a lot worse than baadnwz imho (very good rom)
but to top it all off i am now a decicated miui fan.
flashing the MIUI AU 12.17 rom in 2 mins. (australian conversion of the fantastic chinese rom)
Has its own dedicated site and a blog site is being done this sunday hopefully.
MIUI is a totally different experience and I love it.
Hey Guys whats better my cousin keeps on bugging me and he dosen't like my oppinion so I'll aks you guys instead so that he'll finally stop so
What do you guys think
AOKP or HTC Sense?
Better in what way?
To me its all a matter of preference. I've never been able to stand a Sense ROM more than a week.

Overall Performance and the Camera Quality
Again, its a matter of preference. Some people like Cameras apps from other ROMs, or off the market. Performance is a mixed bag too. I never had much luck with Sense 3.0 or 3.5 ROMs with performance, but other people say it works flawless.
Just give him the advice that probably 90% of the people here would: try them out and find out what works for you.
But if your looking for an opinion... the best cameras I've used have been in sense roms, but other than for the camera I can't stand sense, never cared much for eye candy.
I prefer speed and stability so I would say the best is aosp, aokp, cm, even miui. But never sense... again just adding my 0.02$

Thankyou alot guys now I could review for my tests on Monday
If you're talking bout something at the level of ICS 4.0.4, then I would say 'performance' wise AOKP is going to be better in general, not as much 'eye-candy' and such you'd get from Sense. (As far as I know, no Sense ICS rom has a working camera yet).
But if you're talking Gingerbread and earlier, it's really going to depend on the custom Rom. For example AOKP is most likely going to out perform a stock sense install, but a custom Sense Rom could be on par.
Guess it depends on where your priorities are, do you need more eye candy, or are you aiming more for raw performance/functionality?

There are some ICS Roms that have camera and camcoreder working on the DZ, like Ice Cream Jibwich and AOKP bulids for vision (those were the only ROMS I got to try, so those are the only ones I know. )

But are either of them SENSE 4.0? I was specifically referring to Sense Roms. I know some work, as I'm using an ICS rom where it works.

ahh... well none yet but once the DHD gets that ICS update Dev's we'll get that Sense 4.0 camera up and running!
and hey why is that Kernel 3.0 from the DHD so important? the people from the Desire S forums have it already.
If ur cousin want a best camera yet performance out of it,get the xperia sense by taz instead..it doest use sense as launcher,but use xperia launcher which was really light..like running 17mb for me.. it's a fast yet with function of sense
Sent from my Desire Z using xda app-developers app
Until the two come together, which one would you pick for now and why?
I would say viper because it's highly customizable. I have used cm10. It's preety damn fast but you can always install a custom kernel ( faux or nix) to make it buttery smooth.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I used cm10 for a few weeks to test it out, but then realised how much I missed sense's superior camera and sound (with mods of course). Also, sense is what makes the phone unique. Hard choice.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Have to agree with above posts, the Jellybean roms run super smooth and quick, and look nice etc, but the camera is basic.
So if you don't use your camera i would say go with a JB rom, but if you like the features of the Sense camera then stick with Viper for now.
Any sense based rom I quite rely on sense for its camera, better email client, Facebook integration, widgets, and such.
I've tried the jelly bean roms and miui but always come break to sense.
It depends on your usage and such try them both out and find which you prefer to use.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Tried 4.1 for few days, but had to come back to sense. This makes HTC phones unique and there are so many features that lack in CM roms. Also, Viper is so highly custoimzable and smooth you will not regret not having 4.1 at all.
I was in rd miui jelly bean for two days and was great, using stock kernel but I think it needs a custom kernel for better battery.
Viperx is amazing. But Now I m on ordroidx, I dont know tomorrow. Love flashing and modding.

I used Ice Cold Jelly and stick to it since then ^^
I love the stock android feeling since ICS and Jellybean just makes it even better.
I asked myself the same question many times, the pro's for viper being the fact it could be modded to have the least possible sense (which I just find annoying, there is too much of everything...) the battery life and te camera.
But I stay on ICJ, it has great support from both the kernel dev (ncx) and LordClockan which is allways helping. You can't theme Sense suc perfectly back to stock as stock allready is, the AOKP toggles are just awesome for me and having a Nexus 7 I am not having two different panoramas.
Thanks to the ncx kernel it's fast and stable but also with minimal battery drain.
I would tell you to try both, and stick with the one you prefer.
Another point I keep in mind is that I will never again buy from HTC (the S-ON fact and sense of course) So stock is the best way to have the most chances to keep your references... (that's why I searched stock, coming from a Galaxy Nexus).
Good luck !
Said it before, Footballs maximus rom owns. It just works. I used to jump around Ice Cold and allsorts on DHD, always trying to find the perfect rom... i really have nothing to fix on this. Stock kernel too. it just works. Admittedly, some games are VERY slightly juddery, but I have a Nexus 7 too, so I game much less on the One X now. I tried Viper..... Really wasnt for me. Its like the non-bloat version of bloat.....
yes,the same by me,i like to test rom but mydaily rom is the great viper;its fast shure,Viper is so highly custoimzable and smooth you will not regret not having 4.1 at all.maby one day it comes the version from htc with sense4.? and JellyBean,i love sense sinse i have had this touch diamond2,over the touch hd and the wonderful desire.
Its like religion or ähh politic ore somethink i dont know
Jellybean or Renovate or ARHD....simple as that mate...and if you like to customize then go with MIUI
@ edge3uk
Its like the non-bloat version of bloat.....
thats silly,blödsinn,quatsch,man you boring or what?
For me ..Domination ROM is the best..but battery not good as Sense ROMs and other ROMs

I used CM10 for few weeks but like few before me have mentioned, battery life is not that great and camera is really awful, so now I'm back on Viper X. JB is nice, smoother and quicker, but for me personally that marginal performance difference is not worth sacrificing battery, camera or stability (and then there are few other nifty little features of sense that I like , such as beats audio profiles, FM radio, weather and clock animations etc).
hi everbody
Please recommend mi any rom for DHD.
thanks
Ice Cold Sandwich by LC.
Dude roms are different for everyone. What may be great to me may be crap to you. Many love Jellybean I utterly hate it.
You need to take few out for a test drive and see what you like. The only advice I can give you is
Gingerbread roms are solid and stable
ICS and Jellybean still have kinks being worked on tho some are considered solid now.
Read the last few pages of a rom to get an idea as to where they stand.
Hmm hearing the faint sounds of Zels keys, gotta go.

If you are jealous every time a new version of Android comes out and you want to upgrade to it, you'll probably want a shiny new jelly bean rom like JellyTime. It gets updated very very regularly which I find exciting, there's something fun about updating at least once a week...
But if you absolutely need your phone to run all the time or just don't like the idea of having to update all the time, Reinaldo's suggestion above is very stable and you won't have to update very often (or ever?)

thats interesting gonna try the codefireX JB

sabsa prime v7.0
I tested Virtuos Infinity and I like it but now I'm with Sabsa Prime but I don't like the sound level of notifications and the camera...
Seriously? This has to be the 99999th thread like this. Experiment with different ROMs and see which one you like best.
But for me:
Sense: Either Android Revolution HD or Virtuous Infinity.
Non Sense: LC IceCold or JellyTime.
Gonna try CodefireX and PACeman at some point (flashing PACeman tomorrow at school )
DESTROY THEM WITH LAZ0RZ
I have used NIK "Project X" and Blackout and have had good experiences. Currently using "Project X" and it is great ROM. Haven't had any issues till now.
Trickdroid v3 works well for me as a daily driver.... very fast response, sense4a
I find myself flipping between Blackout ICS and Jellytime. Currently sticking Jellytime because as the bugs get hammered out it gets better and better.
For me trickdroid it is the best rom at the moment. I'm using it already 3 months.
