Even though I been a long time user here, and even work in a phone shop myself, I have yet to use CM7/CM9 or MIUI on my wildfire S, I have used the mentioned roms on other phones, how to they run on our wildfire S's????
I like to use Link2SD too, and mostly use my phone for browsing (a lot), dont play many games, and text a lot, and the odd picture
so with the above bits in mind, I want something what is pretty stable, with virtually everything working, Im htcdev bootloader unlocked, and wildfire S locked to 3UK network..
Who can advise what of the three roms works best, and if so, what versions???
THANKS!!!
CM9 is in development, CM7 is stable for some, not all, you'll have to check that for yourself, and MIUI, I've yet to try, as it looks like crap to me (for something that claims minimalism, it sure is gaudy). If you're bootloader unlocked, root your phone, then flash a custom ROM (I'd recommend m1ndh4x8r's ROM or Hensemod, as they're the most stable and most well-polished of the bunch). I'm currently running on m1ndh4x8r with a custom kernel (DUST Kernel 9.0), because of a touchscreen bug.
im using the 03122012 cm7.2 from alquez and i can say its stable though i only use the phone for calling/messaging/games and internet. i havent tried gps yet. now im on cm9 04282012 from ben/modponk and i liked it a lot although got problems for me like (video recording not working, deep sleep battery drain problem and sometimes the sim card reboot thing).
ive tried several times flashing mindhaxer/einsteinsfrat's roms but i always ended up stucked up on the white htc boot screen.i think the problem is my phone not compatible with his roms at all
It's probably because you haven't partitioned your SD card (I'm guessing you haven't, since those ROMs wouldn't work for me either, till I partitioned my card with Clockworkmod Recovery (had to add a swap partition)).

Since I bought my WFS, using every ROM in the development thread... so many times I have to comeback to unofficial CM 7.2(Gingerbread 2.3.7).
This is the best ROM (in own opinion) currently. If video recording is so important to you, use Gingerbread 2.35, u have plenty of flavors in the development forum. Use them and select the one mean stable to you.
MIUI is something look very good but not in it's operation though
But really again you will find CM 7.2 is best out of them.

Currently the most stable non-sense ROM is CM7. CM9 is on it's way and is close to completion (kind of). If you want a sense ROM then quite a lot of them are pretty stable.
what i really hate about cm7 is the adwlauncher. its so horribly glitchy slow. why would they keep that in cm7? cant they just change it to another one? wouldve been sweet if the default launcher that came from this roms development from dev isnt adw. launcherpro fits well on cm7. adwlauncherEX looks nice but from time to time, when you have widgets on homescreen, it tends to get glitchy.
@johnnyspitz
i did partition my sd card with 1024 mb ext3 and 0 swap using cwm recovery. wiped all the caches and still got the same problem. is it because i put 0 swap on it? how much space did put on the partition and swap? thanks
CM9 is on a good way now, but still with some bugs (battery life, camera, force closing apps), current best non sense i've tried was cm7...its not as good as sense roms (for me). When CM9 will be released for our phones, i'll totally go for it!
CM7
I have trid all of theme i think the more ended and working is CM7.CM9 work not really good , and MIUI don't have live wallpaper and other think it is not finished .
ending : CM7 is the best

Just add swap, any amount will do if it's above 0. That's what worked for me
Check modpunk's CM9. It's an alpha release but looking really good.
Using it already, battery usage is the main problem now. But he said he fixed it already, we're waiting for his latest build which he promised to release today or tom.

I just wanna know if there are any custom ROMs that are not bugged (I know that even official ROMs have plenty bugs) and can be used for daily usage.
If possible, is there a custom ROM that has/may contain:
1) Non-disturbing bugs. Bugs that doesn't bother and non-severe that may destroy my device.
2) Sleek black UI. Dark colored UI works, too.
3) Newbie-friendly.
Thanks again
try creeds v2 or chobits 1.6,
most if not all custom rom has some issues,
do a trial and error and see for yourself what ROM suits you best
Creeds rom
Creeds Rom 3.2 works great for me.. No bugs so far.. except for the signal icon.. (Something u can live with )
As I have said, I am a newbie. Well, I do know many procedures now, but I don't want to risk it.
@deathnotice01
Chobits 1.6? Is there a problem with 1.8 and 2? I almost flashed those, good thing I am still waiting for a stable one.
@Vikram3392
I need the signal bar. My home isn't the perfect place to get signal, so I look at in order for me to change position in order to get the perfect signal
Thanks anyway.
@All
I want to flash Chobits v2. Is it good to use? I don't plan to use any a2sd and other system related things. I just want a good ROM that fixes a lot of flaws from the stock and a ROM that supports init.d perfectly, as I want to use [email protected]' tweaks.

Chobits v2 is still new. But chobits v1.8 with merruk kernel will certainly satisfy your needs! Stable rom+tweaks!

I thought v2 was an improvement of 1.8. If it is, then new should be better, right?
sir the most stable rom you can get is modified stock ROM, in terms of stability and overall use
custom roms have their pros and cons in terms of speed,memory usage, etc
since you are a beginner try to remove bloatwares and ad some customizations,tweaks, etc..
you can also push apps to ROM to increase a little ur phone memory
the good thing about android is you can personalize based on your taste, so happy modding

You're right....but we need to wait for some more time, till we get lots of good feedback about v2....till then, i consider chobits v1.8 to be better...

Chobits v2, very stable..
If you can live with the dark themes its great
I wish he'd release one without the modded apps though..
most stable, fastest, reliable rom --> modified stock rom. with fine tune and good modification, odexed rom is always faster than deodexed rom.

Man so far i'v used-Creed's 2.0 and 3.1 CHOBITSDIGITALISV2 RELOADED(RAM about 230mb) and Termarom v2.0
THE BEST thing is Terma-fast,stable,RAM is about 150,160mb with all apps i use and its bug free believe me.
But UI is not dark
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520167
just follow the steps(i'v instal this two times)and it whill be OK.
My littlest sister just "inherited" a Wildfire S from my mother, who got a new phone.
Now, the stock ROM is completely useless beause of the lack of space. So I have unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM to work some magic on it.
I am considering installing a 2.3.5 Rom with Link2SD. But of course, if an ICS ROM is stable enough (modpunks CM9 seems to be the best?) and is pretty swift, ICS is better than GB.
Some questions though:
1: Is Link2SD a good choice amon the ther A2sd-options like Int2ext4+?
2: Is any of the ICS ROMs (like modpunks) an OK choice for a non technical kid after it's setup? Or if not, what GB ROM should I go for?
I live quite a few hours away, so it should preferably "just work" ones it's set up. Of course, it ill occasionally hang, reboot etc., but the less the better, and she won't be able to do anything techie to fix anything. Fixing permissions nd wiping dalvic cache from recovery is pretty much wht I cn expect to talk her through.
int2ext+ is best... and ICS is stable now... try paranoid android ICS, it is good for daily usage... If your sister found any difficulty using ICS then going for wildchild/hense mod GB roms ...
May I suggest miui or cm alpha 9 only by mod punk. Int2ext+ is a good option as she won't have to go into technicalities. It'll work in background and would be faster than data 2sd.

Thank you. modpunks alpha 9 seems to work well with the miui camera except for automatic back light - but with a toggle in notification drawer that is not a problem. is there any particular int2ext+ I should use? It seems to be more than one modified version out there.
edit: iI think I'll just use CronMod int2ext4+.

I use int2ext4+, Thats specially if you have a ext4 partition. There aren't more than int2ext+ version. They are either int2ext, ext(bla bla)...
So just find int2ext+ or int2ext4+...
Here's link for ext4 one : http://d-h.st/EVF
Thank you very much for your help. It seems to run surprisingly fast with Modpunks CM9 Alpha 9 and int2ext4+, especially after I changed the CPU settings to 768 or something max. Now she's playing some silly game or another,and is indeed very happy with her "new" phone. Now her parents will be afraid of what and who she'll be texting on kik or whatever with her smatphone, but with no credit card connected and mobile data turned of, at least she'll not ruin them.

Hi, sukhjut321, do you know which custom sense Rom can run int2ext+/int2ext4+ ? I am running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797588 sense 3,5 rom now but non of the int2ext is working. D2sd is slow and lagy for me. Any particular sense rom recommended for working int2ext?
hensemod, wildchild, alaadragon fire are sense 2.1 based roms that support int2ext scripts... supreme mod also supports it but it is little over themed, you can use it if that wont bother you..

I never tried any sense rom with int2ext. It'd be great if you post a new thread asking. I don't wanna give you any wrong suggestion.
Why don't you go for link2sd? Even I switched back to it gives me more freedom.

Hello again guys,
I sucessfully rooted my phone but now I have a problem. I have read through alot of forums and sites and I guess the next logical step is to get a new rom and kernel. Now I have done alot of reading about all this but I'm getting quite confused between the pair. From my understanding the kernel controls all the complex stuff like making your phone run faster/slower and increasing/decreasing battery life.... I'm stumped at what a rom is,it's like, the operating system but custom ones are more streamlined?
So what I'm asking for is a little information and some suggestions of what I should put onto my phone, I read something about a smartassv2 which is supposed to keep the phone more balanced, now im sure if it is a kernel or a governor?
Any help would be apprciated.
Have you put cwm or different recovery on your phone yet. Also do you have the CDMA or gsm version

Yeah, the utility I used to root it also installed cwm, I checked it out and did a backup which should be on my SD card now.
beleive it's gsm, it has a sim card and is on T-mobile.
Ive just installed link2sd and partitioned my sd card, was able to move over a game that I couldnt originally get over to the sd card, saving a bit of space.
Also with link2sd I was able to delete preinstalled bloat like twitter, friendstream, news, weather, stocks, etc.
So far a good day

smartassv2 is governer you can use cfq scheduler with it.
about suggestions:
after rooting you have two options:
use cyanogenmod roms:
cm9.1/cm10
(original modpunk cm9.1 ,speed droid,jelly king,miui etc)
use stock sense roms:
(wildchild etc,sense 3.5 etc)
these all are main roms after there are many variations like pacman rom,aokp build cm9 but they are not much stable at this time so.

Sorry to be a pain can you give me a little info about the listed roms? You put cm9.1/cm10 then the others in brackets, are they just like the same roms but with slight differences or is cynaogenmod a kinda name for those type of roms?
EDIT: Just looked up CyanogenMod.org, doesnt show that it supports HTC Wildfire S.

official cyanogenmod isn't support wildfire s.so dev made here unofficial cynogenmod which support cm9.1 and cm10 with some bugs.
that is jelly king cm10 based :

note:
cm=cyanogenmod
cm9.1 aka ICS 4.0.4
cm10 aka JB 4.1.2
ps there are many other roms based on cm10 like pacman,miui and also slimroms ,paranoid(its tablet ui rom you can change dpi of any app widget its benefit of this rom)
but i havent tried them but you can.
Personal oppinion
When I rooted my wildfire s I was exactly like you. I started wondering what I should do or where I could find it.
After testing a few roms I will tell you what worked for me: Test different roms till you find the one that suits you.
Anyway, I'll tell you my advice:
- WildJOY joyOS First rom I tested. No bugs found.
- Modpunk's CM10 As far as I've read the rom every one uses as the base for their own ones.
- JellyKing This is the one I'm using right now. Active development and really smooth.
Jelly King V2.0
I flashed my phone with Jelly King V2.0 4 days back. Its working very smoothly.
You get 69 MB of internal space to install things.
Panorma mode in camera etc. Try it. you'll love it.

I was v.happy with v1.3 dedoxed i had no problem with it till yesterday started to have problem with viber ''NO SOUND'' , skype signing out when i try to make a skype phone call.. i tried to many things re-flashing the Room without wiping data factory sittings No backup lool so today i flashed the V2.0 with full wipe but its kinda lagy!! not smooth like the older one !! Kantry 123 made amazing job i really appreciate his hard work :good:
I don't find it that laggy as you say. Maybe it's because i don't spect too much from my little device. If i were you i'd try the kernel to test if it goes smoother or not.

like i said v1.3 the best Rom i ever used better than any custom Room Running 4.1.2.. okay please let me know if v2 kernel is any better than newest one... Viber still having problem with communication !! i can`t hear anything am i the only one who have problem with viber !!
Hi! First of all, I speak french, so my English isn't perfect, I understand 99% of what you say, but you will probably only understand 50% of what I say...
My HTC One V is very slow and lags alot. I want a custom ROM that will makes it way faster! Which one?
There are many things that I don't use on my phone, so maybe there are some ROMs with ripped features? For exemple, I don't have a sim card, so I don't need to be able to talk, I only use my phone to go on the internet, use messenger and listen to music.
Once I find the ROM I want, I need to install it... but how?
Can someone give me a link or explain me step by step how to do that? I'm a nood with phone/android, but I'm very good with computers, so I will probably understand easily.
Thanks!
Interesting.. If you read a little in android and maybe extract a rom once in a while, you could come pretty far in removing the features you don't need. So you make your own slimmed down ROM.
I am currently running Ignorance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400633
But I think of switching to Shpongle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230656
Cheers
You could try shpongle, it is a fast ROM. Also you could use apps like greenify, lagfix & Seeder to keep your phone at peak performance. Personally I think it is a good practice to flash a ROM every 4-5 months to maintain optimal performance. You could use ease backup for backing up data before flashing.
ROM for daily use
I would suggest Ignorance ROM for daily use (as per your usage).
Also read and read more about rooting and flashing custom recovery and custom ROM before you jump into rooting.
That will help you not to panic
