[Q] Which is the best ICS ROM for Desire?

Hi everybody!
I'd like to know which is the best ICS Rom for our HTC Desire...
At the moment i'm running Cyanogen7.1 and everything is fine, but i'm tired of gingerbread and don't want to wait Cyanogen9 to be stable
So, in your opinion, Which is the best rom for everyday-use?
I know there are camera issues, but this doesn't matter to me
What i'm looking for is good stability, good script for application to ext, and good (fast) browsing experience!
Also have a question:
What kind of Hardware Acceleration are ICS Rom using? Is it native support with latest Adreno driver or other?

The best ICS rom is to use the search function and try yourself.

I supposed that someone would answer this way
but i don't have the time to try all the ICS Roms... So i would be grateful if someone that have tried various roms will give me any suggestion

Oh my look what I've found here using the handy search tool.
Five pages full of replies as to what is the best ICS rom. How convenient. All I have to do is give a little bit of my time to read them all and take it from there. I don't have to create a new thread, wait all day for replies that ends up flaming me.

Whatever it uses, it is not up to the task. kite edit: uncalled for :/
Edited by moderator. Maybe best if I removed the whole post so someone wouldn't think I'm actually being helpful in these kind of threads.

There is no "best ROM", most ROM's are different and people like different things.. some people prefer "eye candy" and other AOSP highly customizable ROM's.
It's up to personal preferrence.

I think there are only three anyway, and one of them is miui. So, try bcm and sandvold and see which one you prefer. Sorry I cannot help you more, because I never flash beta roms on my phone. I am using it too much...

MIUI has now been cut from development.
AOKP dev has paused development for a week or two due to other commitments, so it's a bit behind the other two, but will be back soon.
I personally prefer BCM over Sanvold's/ Nickez's release.

I also prefer BCM over others but there is one big problem for me that in some games like Angry Birds or Temple Run sometimes touch doesn't reacting, just hardware buttons.

you can try ICS by sandvold or BCM both are in beta and close to stability.

IMHO:
It all depends how fed-up with gingerbread you are. There are currently no ICS roms for Desire that would match Gingerbread based ones in terms of speed and stability. That being said, BCM and Sandvold are at the stage where they can be used on a daily basis as long as you willing to accept that your phone might be unresponsive in critical situations.
AFAIK:
BCM is made from CM9 source soi if you come from CM7.1 this would be the smaller change in functionality (regarding mods). It's up to you whether it's a good thing or not.
Sandvold's rom is made from Evervolve source. (I'm not that familiar with that.)
I started ICS usage with Sandvolds rom a few months ago then I switched to BCM for the reasons mentioned above. These two roms' update rate is pretty muck head-to-head. Currently (AFAIK!) Sandvold's one has video recording and support for barcode scanner with higher instability while BCM only has photo capturing but more stable at that.
Both roms use Drewis kernel for HWA and not native drivers as when the drivers were made available most of the functionality they would provide were already ported by drewis and since he is more comfortable with his own source he keeps improving that.
Keep in mind that the official drivers for the chipset not for Desire in particular so official drivers wouldn't be answer for all HWA related problems. (I heard somewhere that HTC had a wierd way of implementing camera, but that might not be true.)

There's a new thread called COS-Bravo ICS by roalex. Haven't tried it yet but it seems very active recent days.
The project of Sense 3.6/4.0 porting looks very delicious, too.

Custom Rom Recommodation?

Hey guys, first i want to say i´m sorry for my bad english as its not my native language.
I think i´m ready to install my first Custom Rom, because i want to have ics after using gb such a long time. Also many games such as GTA 3 lag often.
I read that many ics roms have full touchpad support.
So I would like to ask you some questions, i would be very happy to get helpfull answers
1. Is it true that i can play every game that works on gingerbread with that ics roms?
2. What about the gaming performance in comparison to stock gingerbread?
3. Are there any ics roms that runs smooth and with no major bugs?
Thank you very much! I hope that this kind of threads are allowed

1. Some games don't work with the touch pads on ICS
2. Gaming performance sucks in ICS
3. Define smooth. As smooth as gingerbread, none.

Okay, so i think i´ll better stay on gingerbread then, right?
What ist custom rom with the best performance? both, games and overall menu?

i think glazed ICS with lupus kernel is worth trying

Well I'm using markphytonsics ROM and it's running just as smooth as gb for me. It also has the full touchpad fix. The only thing is a very few games don't work on it. You can try that one. Just make sure to do a nandroid incase you don't like the ics experience. Also be sure to titanium backup your apps if you don't want to lose them.

to complete this thread, i´ve finally installed this and it runs really smooth!

[Q] Fastest ics?

what is the fastest/smoothest ics rom?

Look and see, there is no definite smoothest ROM

I have never tried any ics roms but i can tell you that any roms smoothness, functionality etc etc all comes down to a number of factors. I.e.. Apps, memory, kernel, overclocking, tweaks etc etc the list is huge on what affects a roms performance, so the only thing to really do is trial each and see which suits your needs best. Regards slym.

for now i think that ligux and paraandroid :3

[Q] CM10 Gaming performance and Camera quality

To those who have tried CM10-based ROM either FXP, AOKP, or MIUI, I know CM10 has good performance and smoothness all-around,
but I'm curious about these 2 things
How is the gaming performance, mainly Temple Run which I play a lot when waiting or sitting around?
How is the photo quality from camera compared to stock ROM?
(I never tried CM-based ROM so I'm a little bit nervous about trying it, and also I heard that Titanium-backup doesn't work, so I can't restore applications data, which means there'll be lots of work to re-customize the apps .)

Yeah try Cm10 fxp142 or fxp143 (I think fxp143 will come out tomorrow).
Firstly, gaming is amazing! Best gaming ROM I've ever tried thanks to project butter and jelly bean. Modern Combat 3 runs smoothly, and temple run flawlessly.
Secondly, the camera is camera ics from play store. Download it and give it a go and make a judgement if that's good enough for you. Also adfree removes ads on camera ICS, so that's pretty much everybody's set up.
Conclusion: get cm10. Its awesome.
Hit the thanks button if I helped

CM10 sux at gaming bro. Idk about the camera quality but CM10 is too heavy and buggy. Use ICS Pureness. It's been the best ICS rom i came through so far.

for normal use even if in beta stage cm10 is much smoother and snapier than ICS. rest gaming is bit buggy but as more stable versions come it will also get better. for camera the libs are not available for jb so it has problems well most of the jb roms here use ics camera app.
i use paranoid android with fusion kernel 3.5 with no problems .

I've already tried most of Stock-based ROM on the forum, maybe I'll try that too, but I don't have performance issue or anything, even in my current setup in signature, everything (games and what not) runs smoothly,
I just wanted have a taste of Jelly Bean, and since Sony is not updating, I thought about CM10.

Gaming issue

hi guys,
i just wondering why when i using TW such as dn4, nemesis or eclipse, the fps turn very low and games become lagging. i am not sure whether got world of tanks online battle fans here. BUT, when i use CM or aosp rom such as paranoid rom, cm12.1 rom or cmx rom, the fps turn high and with good graphic no lagging at all. All this rom i will use agni kernel. already did to change some setting at agni but still lagging and fps low. but not for aosp or cm base. why? can someone explain how to make the TW rom compatible with gaming. please excuse for my english.

What's probably happening is the amount of RAM each ROM is using. TW is known to come pre-loaded with a crap tonne of bloat that you don't need (but might want) and more than likely is running in the background. AOSP on the other hand is the complete opposite, it come pre-loaded the basic necessities although they run in the background as well there aren't as many of them impeding your gameplay
