Is the closest to vanilla (ie Nexus S)? I've noticed they seem all based on Cyanogen Mod 7. While I like the builds, and have the best luck with the GingerVillan's, I don't know which is the closest to a stock Vanilla Rom. I feel like every little tweak's been added etc. While I have no problem with that, I'm just trying to find the closest to a stock build atm. Thanks a lot guys, and keep up the hard work!
im also interested in knowing this. im currently on stock and wanna give GB a try
I am running GingerVillain and love it...everything works and runs flawlessly for me, some complain of battery life, but I am running a Mugen so I cant confirm
Running GingerVillain and it appears to be the most stable of them all.
I am also running gingervillian....and its awesome....everything works fine n smooth....n its super fast....if u want to know which one is closest to stock vanilla....I would say gingervillian as it has the stock launcher...on the other hand cm7 use adw launcher...everhything else is pretty same...by far m really happy with gingervillian...

Hi,
I'm usually a LG Optimus Speed user but my friend got a HTC Desire. He's not that much into updating ROMs and stuff and atm he is on one of the latest official cm7 nightlys.
Now that he is here we want him to get a new ROM but as I can see there are so much of them out there and I just wanted to ask you if you could give me an advice in what ROM could be good for him. It shouldnt be a build with lots of bugs and stuff cause he can't update it etc. It should be stable and working fine without difficult tweaks etc.
Thanks for your help!
What does he want from a phone?
What does he want from a User Interface? (Does he want sense?)
What are his disappointments with the phone so far?
lol..Psychoanalysis?
Yes.
OP, ask your friend if a tree falls down in the forrest, will there be any sound? The answer to this will determine whether miui is worth trying or not.
He already had MIUI once a few month ago and he (same as me) diskliked it. Cause of the missing App Drawer and stuff.
He want a stable phone. A working camera, if it is possible smooth scrolling. I think a modern ICS rom or something like that should be fine. He is not that of a hardcore user with benchmarks and stuff.
Stable and ics don't mix together.
ok lemme try that, ics looking but I think thats gonna be no problem with go launcher etc. He is used to CM7, perhaps something like that out there?
forgive me, I was being facetious. I dont like miui either.
Well IMHO, we're looking at AOSP / Sense 2.0 (or lower) Gingerbread ROM. What do you think DZ?
Quite agree. If he doesn't want to play with dialers and launchers, get him a stock sense ROM. Else let him try Sense and Aosp Gingerbread and decide. You can flash each, take recovery images and demo them.
Yep.
Well he is on a CM7 nightly, so he probably has a reasonable idea of the aesthetics of AOSP.
If I wanted to recommend an AOSP ROM (with obvious exception of course) I wouldn't necessarily say CM7 was the best rom to use as an example for smoothness and performance. Oxygen is usually a good place to start with AOSP. Or maybe even Mildwild.
different Launchers etc are no problem. We are just looking for some easy update. Like I said, its the latest official CM7 nightly (from november I think).
What do you think about Runnydroid or MildWild?
Once again ive just had a look at the brilliant desire index: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
and the best 2.0 or lower sense ROM imho is actually SuperNova Extreme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
or Cool IceCream Sense which is Gingerbread sense 2.0 but has an ICS feel to it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279016
I dont see runnymede being particularly fast, smooth or bug free. We're looking at a rom thats for a much newer device than the desire. Its close to the boundaries of what the desire can do.
Mildwild (Oxygen based one) has reportedly good battery life and if the theme is liked, probably a good choice. Lots of script tweaks in there. Or simply Oxygen that it is based on.
I haven't tried MildWild though, but if I were to, it would be the oxy version.
OP, I would recommend the roms of the first two people who replied to you. Droidzone for Sense rom and rootSU for AOSP, take your pick.

Haha. Neither of us have recommended our own roms. We try to be impartial
ok
I just installed the MildWild and its working fine so far! Just another question. Do we have to install a new kernel or adjust ril/bb settings somehow?
RIL and Kernel packaged in the rom should be fine. Shouldnt be any need to change. Infact its a _thalamus kernel. I dont think there is any better for oxygen (Assuming you went for the oxygen version?)
What is BB?

I'm not sure that kernel can be replaced there because of the camera.

Yep, AOSP driver. I would expect the kernel by gen_Sheiskopff would work, but not sure how its been developed recently. Dont see him around the desire forums much anymore
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268198
just a simple question what ROM should i flash.
Which is the best one.
I'd think blacknotes because it has eveything on it.
But Optimized Kezra V4 Final seems good because its claimed no lagg and stuff.
Hi
I am new to the whole rom flashing concept. However after trying all the galaxy w roms in the development section I reached a conclusion that the best rom around is stock rom. U just have to root, add busybox and then apply v6 supercharger and you will have a very stable and responsive device. All other roms had me facing some issue or another.
At least until arco finishes our cm9

It seems that the Cow Bionic rom have highest score from antutu
Are you sure???
What about using new kernel with stock ROM.
....And when you flash a new ROM can you just only restore Data in CWM to get my apps back. i dont want to use titanium back up because its annoying i have alot of apps.
cow rom is the best. most stable. I've tried all the others.
Just so i'm clear.
The roms are pretty stable until I add arabic support. After that I get force close bugs almost 3 times a day. It might be the arabic patch I am using. Anyway after that I went back to stock for UAE and with v6 super charger it's great. I hope to be able to use one of the roms cos I really liked bionic cow 2. But until someone makes it pre set with arabic read/write i'm gonna stick with stock
I also would like to pay respect to all MODers out there. I know they put lots of effort in making the roms and I don't want anyone to think that I don't respect them

how long does the battery last??? 9hrs
Let me share my experience..
I hope it will help.
- I use kezra ROM for my first custom rom and it's work well for me but it's quite laggy when I play hd game.
- And then COW bionic ROM is available. So I try it (non OC version ). Result: it's work perfectly for my daily use.. it's little bit laggy if for HD game but I didn't play much anyway so I use this ROM for quite long until
- hybrid 2nd generation is available. So I decide to try this new ROM.
this ROM is awesome. I didn't get laggy at all when I am play hd game. But unlucky, I encounter many FC if I use it quite a while without restart it.
- alpha 1 for CM9 is available. So try it.. camera didn't work but I didn't care about it.. it's awesome.. very smooth and also didn't laggy for hd game. But I got APN problem and I can't find the solution at that moment. So I m back to COW Bionic ROM.
- and then arco find APN problem solution. So I try it again. And it work perfectly. And I am use it until now (alpha3). So if camera issue is not major issue for you, i do recommend this awesome ROM.
Or just try spent your time to find your soulmate ROM. Life is a choice anyway. ^.^

for me normal use, it can last 17~19hours
i think bionic cow 7 v2 it's a stable rom..
currently using FAW rom..for me its the best rom compare to others (IMO)
previously im using hybrid, bionic rom v2 oso kezra v4..
all are great in normal usage..but when come to HD games such as shadowgun, asphalt 6 and others, my previous custom rom tend to cause laggy in the game..and sometime when it become so lag..suddenly it will restart by its self..
but im really glad that there are so many developers out there trying their best for the BEST rom..
and im here..always ready to try it!!thanks you all!!

Just a comment. FAW ROM is using stock XXLM8 kernel while others are using Cow kernel. So far, XXLM8/DXLM3 kernel gives better visual performance.
For England Value Pack
is there a rom for the value pack STOCK only.
Because i want just the stock rom because is good.
Where is the rom if there is one?????
i loved it
excellent yar good job.. keep it up...

i don't know if there was a stock value pack just for England region at the moment, but i suggest you to check it on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654643
or, you can search it on sammobile, on its firmware section (just goog it).
and also, AFAIK the value pack for europe region started from series xxlm6 and above (please CMIIW guys, )
and related with the topic of this thread, i think the bionic V2 still the best GB custom ROM for this device (IMO).
really stable and had many alternatives, such as choosing OC or non-OC kernel, smooth/fast performance, or turn on/off the zram with cow panel. All of that features are really innovative, because it give more options for the user to determine their best setting.

oops my bad thought i was in the forum >.<
Mods move this please
Whichever you choose, you won't be satisfied.lol
i offer to you install the revelotion roms ...
satiRM further
it really depends on what you want. lets say you want stock looking android GB so in that case your choice should "Android Revolution HD" 6.X.X I was personally using this rom for a while never had a single problem with it also battery life was very good. and also you might consider Cyanogen MOD 7.2 also GB rom with no HTC sense thats up to you Cyanogen is smooth and never had problems with it but ADW launcher which is used in Cyanogen is not that stable peace of software you would like it to be... anyway I think any GB based custom roms should be stable smooth and bugless... and its not that hard to try several custom roms and then choose your best...
now talking about ICS thats a bit different story there are lots to choose from and almost every ICS cutom rom states that its fully working but in reality I never found ICS rom which is really FULLY WORKING I would call them "almost fully working" because you can found small maybe not that important but still some glitches... Some camera effects may not work, some parts of HTC sense might be little bit buggy but of course nothing serious...
i did tried "blackout", "trickdroid", "sabsa prime" all of them was fine to use daily had some small glitches I mentioned before but no big problems keep in mind that memory "RAM" usage is a lot higher with ICS keep in mind if you multitasking alot but shouldn't be a big problem... actually tried to "break" my phone with intense usage like, listening to music, skyping, browsing web, runing games at the time, installing app from market but phone seemed able to handle all that just fine and thats good
and every ICS rom I tried had one annoying thing there was no "facebook for htc sense" so you must use that crappy facebook app to get your friend profiles synced... that really suck...
and you have an option to use "jellybean" i did tried "jellyTime" r16 had no problems with it but as much as I read about others expierence I would not consider "JT" to be stable and good choise for a new user who just wants to be sure his phone runs flawless...
I'm at moment using "sabsa prime 6.5" stayed with it because it was last rom I tried lol
sorry for my bad english
Now I need to figure out if I like sense or not I guess. thus far Jelly Bean has been my favorite on my play despite the fact that like half the stuff doesn't work >.< So we'll see...
Thx for all the places to start.
Sabsa prime best

Have you ever try CodefireX? The best ever!
iam using Cosmic Sandwich V2 after tersting Trickdroid and JellyTime. IMO its a solid experience for those who like a snappy UI (Miui) and some of the Sense goodies.
In my opinion, skip ICS and go to Jelly Bean. Google Now, some other fun things, you'll be glad you did.
Pick a flavor (there's many options these days). I'd go with CM10 - either codefireX or Jellytime with the KangBang-Kernel v0.1 (separate thread by synergye in the dev forum)
Try coredroid multy device sense 3.5 is the best rom everything works fine even the wifi ,camera are brilliant all rom is great

There appear to be a couple of ICS/sense roms on the forum for the DHD. Most appear to have bugs and issues for one reason or other. Is there a fairly stable ICS with sense rom good for every day use?
I've been loving JellyTime R19. Been up for days without any issues. It has been exceptional.
I have flashed quite a few roms till now and have had mixed experience. Among the ICS roms, I found Trickdroid, Blackout and Nik Project X to be the best. I loved all three of them and currently using Trickdroid. I did not try too many JB roms but like Jelly time.
If you are looking for a stable ROM I would recommend CyanogenMod 7 - it runs GB.
If you want to experiment and don't mind some quirks then I would say JellyTime - it runs JB.
I started on CM7 when I first got my HTC, tried LeeDroid, another one I don't remember, back to CM7 and most recently through several revisions of JellyTime.
Of course YMMV, if you ask 10 people you will get 10 different answers. So you just have to experiment - that's the reason I went through all those different ROMs. I found that I like the CM mods (JT is based on CM10).

XxXPachaXxX NERO XL Rom
My first rom after rooting was Blackout ICS Incredible v3.1.0 FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6] but my phone has frequent blackouts during calls and i tried IceColdSandwich. This ROM was stable but i did not like the camera - no touch focus, the zoom was strange.
The last ROM i've tried is XxXPachaXxX NERO XL Rom - is with a real sense camera and the sound is great.

Hello everyone
I think it would be time to try a newer version of android, But can not decide which, maybe you could help me and explain to what is better ics or jb. Which is faster. I need your opinions
Thanks for your help
jb.. better features.. almost same or better speed than ICS. Touchpads probs in JB more than ICS. but you can try different ROMS and check.
I've tried several roms in all my days with my PLAY and I can assure you ICS is the best IN THE ACTUAL MOMENT. Why? Some days ago I was with a JB on my phone and the touchpads still kind a lag a bit in some games, and this don't happen on ICS roms as far as I know.
true dat.. after writing my comment on top.. I also shifted to MIUI v4 ICS.. and yes.. touchpads run.. phone runs.. everything funs proper.. ICS is the best mix of GB and JB.
well i almost used all the roms over xperia play forum and too many ported roms but myself from arc
i can say that nothing can give me the experience of gb but if you can deal with video lags because of outdated graphic drivers
but if you want to switch to a higher android version i will suggest ics to you
all of the jb roms have some video related problem (i dont know why ) and games are not running well in jb
but jb is a little faster in ui if you choose a well tweaked rom like super jb
but if we get a 3.4 kernel we can have a great working kit kat with great speed in games (achotjan is getting the xperia play soon :victory: )
(even x10 has kit kat now :crying: )
KITKAT WOULD BE GREAT :d
