Howdy folks
I say this is a guide, this is my experience recently with this ROM.
I have been faithful to this rom as I loved it in development and have never really found one to replace it. I also know dev ended for this early last year.
My main gripe with it was it was prone to lag during general use, transistioning screens, loading apps etc. One thing that annoyed me was the poor gaming performance, ( Temple Run was a waste of time trying to play).
I have tried updating many things to make it better, here's a summary of my current configuration:
desire Amoled
S-off
cm7r2 hboot (however the difference to stock in performance was none existant)
1gb ext4 partition (I never found any difference with the different types).
RunnyMede AIO v6.0.4.3 SE with int-sd.( not a given though, i bet it works on other A2SD set ups)
At this point the phone was alright. I tried pulling out loads of unused apps using titanium backup, cleared dalvik cache and rebooted, still no great change.
I then downloaded "System Tuner" from the app store by 3c.
If you intend to follow me any further, please do a full NAND before doing anything, cheers.
I then ran it up and gave it root,
IMPORTANT BIT
I selected SYSctl and set it to "recommended".
Seriously, dropped back on to the home page and my phone felt like it had stopped wading through mud!
I can now play temple Run 1 and 2 , which means my phone improved ( I can't be bothered with benchmarks, this is the difference between unusable and playable).
It still lags on the first run, but second go is very smooth.
If you aren't happy with the change reboot and it will go back to normal or do a NAND restore, else go into boot settings and set Sysctl to "on boot complete" and the setting will persist.
Sometimes the phone tries to lag, so I go back in the app and hit recommended again.
I have no affiliation to the app or the ROM, I am just a dedicated user of this ROM, and wanted to share my experience of this app. This has made me decide to continue with my old desire instead of upgrading for another 12 months.
Did u try different kernels? Also the v6.0.4.3 dont have INT2SD only v6.1.1 has it. If u have the v6.0.4.3 then ur probably using "ad2sdx" which lags after a while so i would suggest changing to the INT2SD-S version, its better imo, smoother and didnt lag for me and i was using a kernel by droidzone -
Kmods wifi_sensorplus
Plus RSK Team have just released a new sense 3.5 rom called
RSK Sattelite Rosie 8.0
And its very good, maybe worth a try out. Im like u, Runnymede aio was my favourite rom for a long time

That maybe it, I can't remember I know the dalvik is now on the SD card. I couldn't find that Kernel, I'm currently on the one it came with: 2.6.35.10 EBfixTP2WcLsSma. I couldn't see the Kernel you refer to on Droidzone's site, have you got a link?
I've tried RSK 5 or 6 times, but its just not quite right for my use ( something about the styling and usability just grates me), were as AIO was alwas spot on, I've also tried to force myself on ICS JB and MIUI, but they all fail in one way or another.
This is why I felt I'd share my findings with this app as I doubt I will ever come off this rom now, the only thing that was making me doubt it was the lag, but now I've fixed it I have no complaints with my phone bar the 5 minute boot time.
In my sig theres links there, the 1 im using is in "Kernel Repo" but have a look in "Droidzone" and make sure its sense 3.5 compatible.

Hi everyone!
In my pursuit of the ultimate rom i've settled for the insertcoin 0.3++......Took some risks to customise the phone and flash the cm7 hboot but now i'm there
I really like the new Leedroid 1.4 and the Auraxtsense 1.84 but i think this shades it!I want to chat in the developers area of the said roms but not enough posts....
Tried the Alpha revision custom sense hboot for leedroid and aurax but it would'nt have it,pity really but now on insert coin i have a load of apps and 175 mb internal memory!
Is there anyone who is using the same rom as me and would care to share their thoughts on the competition?
PS i've tried all the HD roms except starburst i think....Done the vanilla roms,oxygen,cm,gv etc
Cheers Simon
Haven't used said ROM myself, but I'm currently hunting for the right one for me. As great as it is and as appreciative as I am, little things are bugging me with the Oxygen ROM (I actually just came on to get some info on the stock 2.3.3 HTC sense for nexus s on my desire)
Out of interest what's made you choose this one?

I have been through most easily,even miui but i got to like insertcoin 1.8h,quick n slick with no memory leaks either.Went to 2.0 a2sd and data ext but thought it was laggy....this one you have to flash the cm7 hboot which just fits all the rom to nand flash...the hboot size is 130mb i think and the rom fits at 120mb so you get a load more internal memory considering the standard hboot is 250mb......used to like oxygen but gingerbread 2.3 isn't that good,i thought froyo oxygen was better.
This rom i'm using goes like [email protected] even while it's installing all the apps on the market upon installation
Then you realise it starts to slow down when you've installed your apps.

I'm a big fan of the data++ sensehd roms too. Rcmix densensensenised with launcherpro went like the proverbial off a hot stick. Did notice some slow down once all apps were installed but it is a seriously BIG improvement over other apps/data to sd. Flashing hboot was scary at first but now I dont hesitate at all. If anybody noobs are tempted then download fastboot commander. If there's any demand for it I'll do a walk through.
Having said all that, I'm currently playing with oxygen with custom hboot and found it again faster still. The only thing compares for me was the hiapk rom (based on cm7) which I tried briefly. Anybody else had a go on this one? miss the sense goodness though.
will be back on a hd ginger sense soon what with the ginger bravo leak.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
To be honest i have 43 apps on there ontop of all the ones which come as standard and the phone is fast...Again in all honesty it's not as fast as i thought it would be
I'd love to go back to a vanilla rom again but i keep missing sense.....Can't find a weather app as good as htc...that 90mb hboot flash might just be in the pipeline very soon and have a bit of oxygen this weekend.
PS I recommend fastboot commander also
Beetnubbin......I'm going to ditch this rom,it's not as fast as i thought....Leedroid 2.4 was faster i thought even though there's a few minor bugs.
Auraxtsense 8.4 went well for me too....is there any other rom you recommend mate?....Have'nt tried starburst classic yet,any ideas?
hey there guys, just wanting some advice currently i have mine and a friend i know using RCMixHD v3.6 i think its great, if a little problematic, but my friend whos phone i rooted and installed RCMixHD v3.6 isnt really any good at all this and if problems arise he has no idea how to fix it. So what im looking for is the best rom to get him using that is trouble free, but that also gives more space for apps, IMO the only problem with these desires is the lack of space for apps.
So guys you lot are the experts, whats the best desire rom that gives more space for apps, preferably i think without partitioning the memory card. cos i think thats whats causing the problems he gets.
If You don't want to partition SD card try one of AOSP roms, but the best way to get more spare for apps is to partition SD and flash A2SD+ rom.
Go s-off and flash either Oxygen or CM7 hboot then the corresponding rom. Personally I have CM7 because I find it better. Anyway, I'd you need to, you can setup A2SD later if need be but you do get 300+ MB of storage with these hboots.
I don't like to use A2SD because for 1, I have a slow card, class 2 and second, it can really **** up.

I'd rather go with Redux or Oxygen. and trick them out with apps.
I'm using RCMix S 1.6.1 A2SD+ and it's really fast and stable. I've got lot of, ~50 apps, and phone running without any lags. Updates are very often ~1-2 in a week. It's even work on s-on phones. Only condition is sd partition, but if you want a lot of space you need to have one.

If you want ROM with sense i would go with Leedroid 3.0.6 (stable, fast and has App2SD out of the box). If you want ROM without sense, i would go with Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. It doesn't come with App2SD by default, but you can easily install it.
Well, maybe you should just try out?
Start with oxygen or devnull, install apps, make sure sync all to cloud.
After that try other roms, everytime you flash new rom - get your apps and settings from cloud...
That's what I do when I'm bored and wanna try a new rom....

Might want to check on that, the RCMix team are responsible for some of the best, most stable, and most regularly updated ROM's on the HD/Sense3 side so they DO know how.
I would second RCMix, problem is it's by the same guys..
i go with reflextsense 2.05 by now, and downloading.
for me it's fast n stable.
thanks to Neo..
I have used cm, oxygen, insertcoin, leedroid, but my favourite of all is Reflex S by Neo. Currently using 2.0.5, but may switch back to 2.0.2 as I prefer the newer messages app.

AdamG's DevNull is simple small and stable.

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I rooted my Desire I think a month ago now.
Since then I tried Modaco R26, Cyanogen 7.02, Redux, Defrost and since two days I am using F1 Cyanogen.
I like Defrost very much, it's Froyo (love the froyo white statusbar theme) and it's small and fast. I also like Redux, Gingerbread, but also small and fast.
F1 is Cyanogen based, stripped from lots of stuff that you can dl yourself from the market afterwards if you want. Very nice too.
Some odd thing (to me), I have one or two apk's, like simple clock widget, in some ROM's (Defrost) it will install in English and I will see it in English in Market too, in others (Redux and F1) it's only available in Chinese and if I install the same apk it also turns up as a Chinese version on my phone..
Which one and why?

But did you use rcmixs?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I did on daily base... Insert Coin is great, I use v28 Nightly, but also love Robocik's work. The best thing is to try both of them and decide which one is best for you. InsertCoin seems stable and fast... but then again Baad... used RCmixHD as start point...
I'm kinda curious as to the differences too.
Yes I also try RCMix S rom, try them to have your own opinion, try InsertCoin Cm7 Hboot Version
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Well you wouldn't beleive but there are some differences. First of all depends which HBOOT u r using,,couse rcmixhd makes it pretty fast and stable on both stock & cm7 hboot. If u are stock u can try robo's new script x-a2sd and u get over 300 mb internal to start. But feels like InsertCoin somehow perfected cm7 rom ver, while stock is still stuck with some lags. Depends on lot's of things. I use louncher pro always, and it requires strong and stable rom to run smoothly. The differences you can feel...
Maybe i can ask different. What things made you choose one of them after testing them both?
Speed or stability or shiny stuff?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well I've been sorta switching between both of them for a while because they are in my opinion the two best Gingerbread Sense ROMs around for the Desire. There aren't in fact any major differences between the two to be honest since they both strive to do pretty much the same thing. InsertCoin gets updated more frequently I find than RCMix since custom ROMs are created by ordinary folk who have other commitments. Both ROMs have few bugs though what happened recently is I used the latest RCMix to find that the maps app kept crashing and then I used InsertCoin to find Paypal and the Collins dictionaries I bought had disappeared from the Android Market. My advice would be to try both and see which one works best for you. If you have Rom Manager Premium, you can also get OTA of InsertCoin which seems to be the most up to date one these days though Baadnews has now created nightlies for InsertCoin as well as a stable version which is also very handy I think. I reckon when the official Gingerbread Desire ROM gets leaked, there'll be less bugs. Anyway have fun!
The Insercoin 1.02 is perfect,
but i had got 1 problem, it's the TTS service can't use
Well, I am using InsertCoin 1.0.2 and I only encountered some minor problems: Facebook for Android does not work properly and the name of my operator changed back to the earlier one. Other than that, I like this ROM.
Agree with Iunoma. I keep flashing InsertCoin's Nightly ver for few days now and call me freaky but somehow feel that InsertCoin's even Nightly rom is faster than RCmixHD. My first choice speed, then stability, then extra stuff... So, there you are. I would rather flash perfected froyo then GB and Kingdom port if they gets slow. And I did at first, then flashed lots of rcmixes and InsertCoin's Nightly at the end... But the most helpful was flashing CM7 over stock HBOOT...

Hi,
After an about half year with insert coin 1.1.4 by Baadnewz I'm looking for a replacement mostly because I want to renew.
I know that many roms are great but wanted to hear suggestions from users that tried few and especially if someone already did the change from the insert coin rom.
I don't want to loose sense so only roms with it are acceptable for now by me.
The phone has stock h-boot 0.93 cwm and S-off.
Need calls recording kernel with it and ad hoc function working like I have now.
Thank you for helping

Hi. I changed from insertcoin rom because baadnewz no longer develops it. The first rom I've installed after insertcoin was Runnymede by Sebastiaan15. It's a great rom, but I changed it again when Seb announced he will not develop the rom for a time. I installed then RunnyRom and I can tell you that it's a good rom, with sense 3.5 , fast and smooth. Now i'm running runnymede again (because of the INT2SD feature), but you can try both of them. good luck
i suggest you Mild wild 3.7v
is best ROM for daily usage

+1, Cept I tried RSK 6.0 before it went crazy (instead of runnyrom 3.5 but same basic Rom). Runnyrom seems a bit snappier, but I'm abt to try runneymede with int2sd-s

If you want to install runnymede with int2sd-s make sure your card is at least class 4. For me, with a class 2 one, the rom has a considerable lag. Now I want to buy a class 6 (or 10) one for a better performance.
I also had Insert Coin untill yesterday. Switched to Mildwild. Not sure if this stays on for long... But i'm not sure which other rom I should try.
Miss pndedin
Switched from RunnyMede AIO to SuperNova 2.4.0.1! I now have (almost) infinite storage (thanks to data2sd) and the batterylife is outstanding! It's the perfect rom for everyday use
Runnymede AIO 6.0.4.3 with Droidzone #18 kernel. Very stable
I have Mildwild 3.8
im not too fond of the rom because of small aesthetic flaws but it seems to be working fairly well.
CM7 rocked a lot but since it didnt get updated anymore i switched to mw 3.7 and later to 3.8 cause its based on cm7
so far it works well,
if u want a small fluent rom there is dGB
if u want a sense rom and dont mind having to partition ur sd and stuff there is runnymede as ppl said before me
Try MIUI for change! its theme engine is great, pretty stable too, using it for nearly an year now. Download at miuiandroid.com.
Lol, thread is like a bunch of kids all screaming out who their favorite sports hero is!!
Mate, just look at which are the popular threads in the Dev section, pick two or three ROMs that seem to have the features you want and try each of them for a few days.
There is only one person that can tell you which is the "best ROM" for you, and that is yourself...
I have been away for some time from XDA, and have changed a few devices since. My wife has inherited the HTC Desire that I had long time ago, and it was working fine until all the space for installing apps was used up and the device became extrely slow and could almost never update apps due to lack of space(internal memory).
I have jumped to XDA to try to do something abt this and have pushed the learning curve as much as I could, but unfortunatly I have little time to spare to try all the roms and tweak them.
I have tried at least 10 Roms until now and tried to read through all the threads for those roms but as everyone knows it takes forever if one didnt follow up from the begining.
The help I am looking for is I am looking for a very stable rom with sense where the internal memory is at least 1gb. The rom should be stable and fast and almost require not much/least possible tweaking( since my wife doesnt know and doesnt have the patience to do this).
I have read the gingerburst rom, supernova, couldnt find the link to download them... tried runnymede AIO v 6.0.4 + A2SDX ( currently running this one, but having a lot of force close and performance is not so fast)
I knwo that people will tell me that i have to try the roms myself to find that suits my needs, but that is the point, if I was to choose a rom, then it would be to fix and tweak it all the time, but the phone is for my wife and she doesnt know how to fix things when the phone just hangs and acts weird.....
The type of rom I am looking is with sense( simple and easy, not necessarily the latest ones if they are buggy and slow) and fast and very stable android coreOS and most importantly is the big internal memory to install space demanding apps.
The suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thnks again for the help.
