Should I upgrade my desire to ICS?

hi,
I have Leedroid 3.0.8.2 data ++. Phone (which is my main phone] is stable and Bluetooth works as expected.
What are the benefits, of any, to upgrade to ICS and is there a particular ROM you find sufficiently stable to recommend.
Thanks

If you are happy with your current rom then there may be no point in upgrading. Personally I prefer the interface and look / feel of ICS and can deal with the bugs that comes with it.
For desire currently the ICS roms are still a tad unstable this is due to incomplete hardware acceleration. The roms are ok for daily use if you can deal without video camera and quite a few graphical glitches. But the rom is still very usable.
If you are wanting to try an ICS rom, I suggest either sandvolds ICS or BCM.
At the end of the day I suggest taking a nandroid backup of your current rom. and trying out one of the ICS roms for a few hours. If you dont like it simply restore your old rom no harm done.
hope this helps.

If you want a stable rom, stick to what you are using right now or at least Gingerbread. ICS roms are in beta for Desire. No matter how many people here tells you it's all okay as a daily driver, if you can't afford the hassle of random reboots and all those little instability don't use it.
It will be a good weekend project to flash ICS roms just to see how it progresses though.

It's just an improved OS.Better functionality, better battery life and a slew of added features which are listed here.

I too would suggest you to stick to your old one.

Given that my phone is modelled for Leedroid Data++ can I flash a new ROM for the weekend.
Is out that simple and straightforward?

Sandvold's ICS is really worth trying in its current state.

You can flash Sandvolt's ICS with no problems (wipe all partitions, install rom 0.4.4.3, install 0.4.4.4.1 update). At it's current state 0.4.4.4.1 it is prety stable. I have it installed from yesterday and i can say that i had no problem. Ok, i have to admit, it is a little slower than a gingerbread stock rom but i think it is very usable.
If sandvolt keeps it like this in ~1month i think we will have an ICS that beats GB.
Anyway i think you need to see it. I recommend installing also thalamus kernel which is very stable.
Regards.

Stability is a binary matter. There is a 1 or there is a 0. There is no 1.5, hence there are no such things as pretty stable or partially stable.

Well, today i have used all of it's battery until now and i had no reboot or crash or anything that seemed like a problem.

I've been running ICS for a ~2 months, it (BCM RC2.2U5) works a treat . I've not missed Sense, and now the camera preview is fixed there isn't much missing.
It also feels faster than GB.
The video mode on the camera crashes the camera app but apart from that everything seems to work.
Overall like savagedonkey, I prefer the look/feel of ICS over GB with Sense (I was on LeeDroid 3.3. something) , however if you want to be sure there aren't any hiccups or problems stick with GB.
And there is always nandroid.

Have been using Sandvold's ICS ROM for about six weeks now and I can definitely recommend it. For me it's stable enough for daily use, camera preview (for photography) is working in the latest releases and with the latest release (0.4.5 dated 03/29) QR-code scanning is functioning also.
At the moment the only missing functionality (set aside eventual bugs) seems to be the video- and the panoramacamera.
Can't say how it performs compared to other ROM's. Haven't had reason to try others .

I have BCM RC2.2U5, but ineternet (mobile & wifi) response is too bad, very slow

I'm using BCM for over 2months and atm its really close to stable release.
There are some minor bugs, but its worth trying.

Fanboys forget to tell you ICS is much slower in its current state, than LeeDroid.
I use Sandvolds ICS atm, because I like the looks. It's not near stable.

Hi,
i come from Sandvolds ICS and I downgraded today to CM7.2, due to its unstableness. I got random BCODs and the browsers were terrible slow. Both crome and the stock browser.
Anyway, I guess the devs working hard on fixing the unstableness. Maybe in the near future im gonna switch back to ICS

It is not possible to simply say "I recommend Sandvolds ICS for you" or "I do not recommend".
First "rule": The rom is NOT stable. If you need your device for business use and need an always 100% stable ROM, then ICS is at the current state under no circumstances the right decision for you.
The ROM is in highly development, be aware of bugs and problems!
3 problems, that recently happend to me, there may be many more:
All contacts seemed to be gone, somehow the google sync was broken. A new login solved it for me.
Black Screen of Death (BSOD) occurs with some kernels: The phone freezes with screen off. Pulling out battery is the only solution.
My SD card could not be mounted on boot (not only missing data, but missing apps from a2sd as well). Reboot fixed it.
But if you have some spare time (following the development thread!) and if you don't complain with regularly ROM updates (including full wipes), you will be impressed, what ICS can make out of your phone!
ICS rocks.

BCM is very stable for me. Everything works fine including my browser and wifi. Only thing I don't like is I cant get mms to work but thats no biggy.

Best Android 4.0 ICS rom for Desire

As the title says, i´d like to know which one is the best ICS rom for you. The CM9,sandvolds or Nikez Lente ?
Edit: Sorry forgot to mention AOKP opinions on this rom also welcome

There's AOKP missing there. Not sure if they gonna burn you alive for creating this but anyway.

It depends. You should try all of them to find the best for your device and for your expectations
I tryed all of them and didn't find best one...
The most featured is AOKP, it has a lot of easy-to-use settings, great notification bar and very functional lockscreen, weather integration. But almost every day of usage I've got one sleep of death.
More stable ROM for my device is Chromium, but this ROM has not published on xda. Pity. Another thing about Chromium - I really miss all features of AOKP in the ROM. On mine Desire it works almost a week without BSOD or SOD.
Try, and you'll find what you need

It's really fast and stable, aroma installer with options, customizable lockscreen and notification bar, themes, nice camera and more. For me the most valuable is stability.

looks pretty nice ! is englisch or german language included too ?

Both included as well as others.
The only thing is that in aroma installer only spanish is available. But nevermind, it is intuitively obvious

Lente without doubt.
Was on Sandvold's most of the way but 0.15 was bugged and slowing down too much
BCM never liked my phone for some reason

Nikez lente is the King.

I've used Sandvolds since 0.12 and it was very promissing (and still is). Unfortunately, the last two releases have known bugs (wifi, 3g, some apps do not work) ad the ROM has become much slower. So, I decided to try BCM, installed the latest version of and I'm nicely surprised. Everything works smoothly and quickly, no problems with wifi, 3g, bluetooth etc. I use it for a week and so far no problems.

Running BCM quite successfully, but with the same occasional radio crashes I had with cm7.

For me it is Sandvolds or Elelinux.

I use for over a week Sanvold's 0.15. It's very good, except that every time i close the wifi the signal is off and needs to restart the phone. Hope this solved in the comming update . . .

Im using one of the Slim version. It is, so far, awesome.

--

I've treid Nikez Lente, CM9 and Sandvold recently. I have to say Sandvold seems the most polished and quick, maybe due to included V6 Supercharger. CM9 was the best in terms of added funcinallity, but I think itwas more laggy a slow than Lente or Sandvold. Lente is very good as well, very close to the original ICS, I prefer the Sandvold however.

Sandvolds ics rocks!

So is there a stable rom? (Stable meaning it will run 100h+ without reboot/SOD/whatever, no wifi/3g bugs, i don't care if OCing to 2.5GHZ doesn't work)
I don't know anything about the desire but my friend got one for himself because his iPhone was stolen. I myself own a Nexus S and i loved ICS, JB seems to be even better now I'm thinking if he doesn't like the feel of HTC Sense and Froyo/GB I might help him flash ICS if it's worth the trouble. Since he used to be an iPhone user he probably doesn't want to get dirt on his hands, so he won't be able to revert or flash something else and I don't want to have to switch ROMs for him every time he finds a bug.
BTW I spent about 1-2h reading the desire forum about flashing and stuff, it's really confusing I have to say, so if anybody could explain to me what hboot is and what the proper procedure is to flash a ROM i'd be very happy. I've only had phones with unlocked bootloaders so far so I know my way around CWM but that's about it...

So any roms fully functional?

So my upgrade is coming up on November 1st, and I will be looking into getting a new phone in the near future, and I am finally done waiting for this ICS update that isn't coming from HTC. I was wondering if there are any fully functioning roms for the Incredible 2, or if anyone can tell me the one that is closest to fully working. Of course looking for something ICS or above and appreciate any suggestions on where I should begin...

I have not tried Psycho's CM9 Global yet, but I hear it is pretty much fully functional except for the FFC is upside down or something...I have tried their CM10 Global and it is a smooth running rom, just a couple of little bugs they are working out. Mimicry CM9 based rom is almost fully functional...only thing not working that I know for sure is the FFC. Those are the only roms I have tried recently. I have also read that the Viper Sense rom is pretty good too, but it is Sense 4. I prefer the Paranoid Android, but there are some camera issues with it and a couple of other small bugs that don't affect me that much so I never notice them. Other than that I am out of suggestions, I have not tried UKB, MIUI, or any of the other roms that I hear are great roms.

I started with aeroevan's CM9 ROM and it was terribly slow and pretty buggy. I had to reboot it at least once a day. I'm now running Psycho's CM10 Global and it's actually been really great, aside from the nonfunctional FFC, graphic tearing with Chrome, and unstable Bluetooth. Also, the CM10 Global ROM has an issue where after locking the phone it will take 1-2 seconds before allowing you to unlock again.

Sorry, this is the only thread I ever check, so I didn't even think about it. Is there a way for me to move it? If not I guess I can just delete it...

IC Tazz has been flawless for me. I tried CM9 and CM10 for a few weeks, they work pretty good but are not 100%.

I'm using the new viper Rom. In the past I've always preferred sense tho. Viper is nice. But I prefer my own non sense widgets. So my phone basically looks the same as it did when running cm10. So I'm not sure what the point of staying on viper. Must say battery life is impressive, especially for a sense Rom. Battery life was one reason why I hated sense. But then my phone doesn't really look like sense anyways since I'm using all the same widgets as I did w aosp. *confused*

Haha, I can understand that. I've only been around this one for the past few months. Seriously, thanks for the reminder. I won't forget next time haha

for an ics rom, i gotta say viper sense is the most bug-free. both the ffc camera and rear cameras work fine, and you can shoot fine in 720p HD recording, a problem with many other roms.
this was one of the main problems i had with most CM's and aosp roms was that the stock camera sucked. it didnt even compare to the sense camera and pictures looked they were taken with a basic phone. the viper sense camera was great, maybe even better than stock.
as for bugs, i think the only thing was that taking a picture while recording didnt work, i dont think its supposed to though cuz the inc2 isnt designed for it? also for some reason after a reboot it changed from cdma to gsm, and i think the only way to change that it running the aroma installer again.

I'm no expert or developer but there is quite a few Roms that I have found a pretty stable that could be used as a daily driver with no problem. If you're not rooted I recommend trying it and giving some Roms a test run and seeing what you like before ditching your inc2 its a whole new experience.

Fully functional eh? Both dkstunna and Aerovans cm9 & 10 both run nicely. Just have to make some changes depending on your carrier but youll find the solutions by reading the threads. But don't forget most roms are like that woman in the red light district. She's pretty and fun and can do a lot but there is also something under that skirt that is fully functional.

Currently Running: Mimicry 1.5 w/ vivow-tiamat-ics-031412 Kernel, JB_ADRENO_DRIVERS_V2.ZIP.
It's been a pretty solid experience for a few months now.

Condemned Sense's Stock Build Odexed.

Depends on your definition of "fully-functional." For me that means everything that the stock ROM has including FFC, rotating softkeys, 720P camcorder, wifi-tethering, etc. Most of the ROMS listed (excluding stock ROMS) so far have issues with at least one of these things. I don't consider a mentality of "living with minor bugs" consistent with "fully-functional."
Personally my list would include:
- any of the the "standard" Sense 2.1 Gingerbread ROMs like GingerSense, SkyRaider Zeus, etc. (they all use the official 2.65 kernel specifically built for GB)
- Arctic Ascension 2.02 (aka IC Tazz 3.6) - Sense 3.6 using the leaked Chinese v3.x OTA kernel - everything including the stuff I mentioned works on it. It even includes features not even the stock ROM has such as automatic 3G switching when sending and receiving MMS messages.

Try CM 7.2, it was the first rom i flashed. the battery life is extraordinary and it runs fast like hell! only problem is its a bit old fashioned.
I'm currently running ViperSense 1.1, but its just slightly slow because its using a stock kernel

Thanks everyone for taking the time to give me this information. I have been busy but plan to look into these very soon! Much appreciation!

Miui 1.12.9 with Aerovan's 0.7 CFS kernel.

[Q] looking for a stable ROM

Hello I am looking for a stable ROM with ICS or any android 4.0+ version because I need a T9 dialer in hebrew which is built in any android 4.0+ version.
And why do I need it stable?
well... the phone is going to be belong to my sister and I am going to have the HOX+(maybe not quite sure yet) and she is not going to play with ROMs flash them during the night and look for the best for her and update the ROM every week so thats why I need it stable...
and guys dont worry our HTC is kind of old but still good but my sister is walking around with Samsung 514!!!
I really want her to be impressed with android (although it does not matter what UI he have as long its not AOKP because i didnt love it )
thank you for you help time, thinking and for reading this despite my bad english(i can wait 2 weeks tops)'
ho one last thing i know there are 3rd party apps at the store the provide the T9 dialer but its still 3rd party abit laggy and slow

Stable 4.0+ ha you must be new here.

All ICS+ ROMs are in a alpha / beta stage for the Desire... they can never be as stable as you would like them to be because of inherent device driver and resource limitations in our phone. Having said that, I use Sandvold http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660. It is a decent daily driver for me, but has a major bug once in a while. You would need to debug for your sister on such occasions.

what about the miui he is in beta level but he is there because it gets updated almost every week can any one recommend on that?
and do you guys think that even in 2 weeks no stable roms will appear?

OK, there's the thing. If you are looking for a stable ics+ or ics+ with sense, your out of luck. The htc desire will not be able to support it with help from htc's own engineers/developers. However, if you are willing to use a fairly buggy rom, just pick any and see how you like it. In short, stop asking and just do it. Enjoy flashing.

If you want her to be impressed with Android, don't flash any ICS/JB as they are filled with various problems that noobs keep on making threads about them. You don't want your sister to have that impression that Android is a crappy OS don't you?
Stable? Go with AOSP CyanogenMod7 or Oxygen roms or at least anything that is based on those roms. Yeah it's Gingerbread but it's a fully working OS. They aren't eye candy but you'll have little to no complaints coming from your sister about this or that not working.

[Q] Most stable ICS/JB Rom

I recently had to move back to my desire after my newer ICS orange san diego developed an overheating problem.
It currently has CyanogenMod7 on it but I would like to put a similarly stable and performant ICS or JB ROM on it.
It seems there are a number of ROMs still under pretty active development and I'm having a hard time in choosing between them.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a stable ROM with reasonable performance that I could stick on the desire?
I do use the video camera from time to time so would preferably like a ROM where this was working to reasonable standard.
My phone is S-OFF, rooted, unlocked, 2GB sd-ext, CM7r2 HBOOT (will likely be swapping this back for stock HBOOT).
Thanks in advance for any replies!

These threads arent really allowed, but ill give you some info.
Go with JB over ICS. I dont think there are any ICS roms actively developed currently, and overall JB has better performance. I havent had video recording work in any JB rom (its not that important for me anyways), but i think a few ICS roms have it working.
You wont have the same stability and performance as GB, but there are still a few good options that i have used as daily drivers:
Paranoid Android 4.3 by WoH
ChromiumROM (CM10.1) by me
Evervolv by nikez

Thanks very much for the reply and apologies for posting a 'not allowed' thread. *slaps wrist*
I have already DLed Chromium so will give that a try first. It was failing to install but then I realised that's cos of my HBOOT so going to sort that first and then get Chromium installed.

Yep, most jb roms need stock hboot to fit their large system sizes, however you can generally slim them down yourself to get them running on data++ hboot. I'll probably release a slimmed version of chromium ROM soon.

I noticed that you released build 11 last night so I flashed that and all looks to be working really great so far. Very impressed with the ROM, appears to be stable from my limited testing. Had one issue where it got stuck on the widgets screen and wouldn't show homescreen but was fine after a restart and hasn't reoccurred since.
Another mod I made was to set the pixel density to 200 which works really well on the desire, can get a lot more on the screen.
Is the issue with the video camera pretty fundamental and unlikely to get resolved?
Still amazed that JB can run so well on such an old phone.
Thanks for the rom, sterling work!

It's my orange san diego that is overheating, although my desire has previously over-heated but that was fixed under warranty. I might try taking it apart and cleaning the contacts as that guide suggests though in the hope of getting it working again.
Been running chromium for a few days now and it's been very stable. Only issue I've had is the error 'google text to speech engine has stopped' keeping on popping up. It is a bit sluggish but I expected that really and I do have a lot of apps installed.
