[Q] What ROM would you reccomend for me based on:

Hi, I have not changed ROMs in a while. I used to have Skyraider Vanilla and now I have Senseless Revolution. While I like my current ROM, after like 2 months of stableness, I got a boot-loop and had to restore (and I lost quite a bit). So, I now want a new ROM. But, there are soooooo many choices. While I would like to try them all, I was wondering if you guys could recommend me a few based on my preferences:
-Stability: I want a ROM that is very stable--no boot loops!
-Battery Life: I want a ROM/kernel that gets good battery life.
-Performance: I want something pretty fast, but speed is not a top priority for me.
-Features: I really am not into all of the fancy aesthetics. I don't use widgets and I use Launcher Pro. So, I guess I don't need/want a Sense ROM.
-Random: I really like a black notification bar, so anything that has the ability to have one is preferred.
Overall, I guess I just want something very simple with good battery life and pretty good speed. If you guys could recommend a few ROMs/kernels to try out I would be very appreciative. Thanks!

Honestly, I had skyraider 3.2 sense for months and I finally made the switch to Cyanogenmod 7 nightly and I've been so happy about it. Only a few kinks here and there but nothing a reboot can't fixed. RC2 just got announced as well for it and it's pretty stable. Battery life on it has been awesome as well, but I use set cpu for underclocking and screen off profiles.
Key notes: Very fast rom, no 720p camera.

I second CM7 for what your looking for.

Thanks guys, I was looking into those and they look good for my preferences! However, I am confused--what is the difference between Cyanogen Mod 7 and CM7 Nightlies?

CM7 = CyanogenMod 7, so no difference there.
Nightlies just refers to the fact that releases are pushed out (or I should say, were pushed out) every night.
If you flash the newest nightly then you are flashing the most recent upgrades/fixes/etc, but you also risk a slight chance that an instability has been recently introduced. For example, on a recent nightly, GPS problems cropped up, but then they were fixed a day or two after they were discovered.
The RC's are the Release Candidates. They are supposed to be stable releases that could potentially be the "final product." RC2, however, the last RC for CM7, had mixed results in the community. I'd say you're better off flashing the most recent nightly.

MAGNOLIA (Desensitized!)
With either the stock kernel or HeyItsLou's kernel (for stability/battery life)
I am running this desensitized (LauncherPro Plus user here) but with Ziggy's kernel (I like to overclock) and have NO bootloops. It is fast because it is re-engineered, and it is even faster after desensitizing!
Even with my overclocking habits, I consistently get 6 hours of UPTIME with heavy use, and 7 if you bump charge and turn the screen down a bit
Pros: It has 720p video recording, a redone "Matte Sense" theme, which means its not flashy, but very nice on the eyes!
CM7 is nice, but I had many, many bootloops on RC2 and the nightlies around that time.

I use a combination of CM7RC1 and incredikernel 2.6.37.4. I also use Go Launcher EX. ADW is just so darn slow for some reason. Plus I like the scrollable dock. It also reduces the need for an app manager and task killer cuz it does all those built into the app drawer. So far no reboots or freezes. And only so far PDANet was crashing, but I just reinstalled it and all was fine. Other than that this setup has been more smooth than OG Sense.

[POLL] Which ROM do YOU feel is best for everyday use

PLEASE READ BEFORE VOTING: Just wanted to see what the general consensus was about which ROM is best for everyday use, and for new guys trying out a new ROM, this is a good starting point on what to try first. I agree, most ROMs update often (sometimes daily!) and even though one update may break a thing or two, the general usability of that ROM usually maintains the same.
Now, when voting for this poll, remember to take account usability in an everyday environment, not full-fledged feature comparison. Some ROMs can't record 720p and most ICS ROMs have no (not even partial) HWA and can't use video camera. But these things are things most of us can live without. So when voting, please take into account the basics: If the phone works, if messages work, if you can use Wi-Fi properly, if 3G works, if phone reboots too often or not, if the ROMs runs stable and smooth or if it lags and locks up, battery life, photo camera works or not.
After taking into account usability, take into account features. For example, if you feel there is a CM9 ROM that runs as stable and usable as another CM7 ROM, choose the CM9
Please vote for ROMs you personally have tried, and not for ROMs you "heard" work well. More than one choice can be selected because you may feel more than one ROM was working well enough to be used daily.
Note: I started making the poll including only CM variations, and decided to include other ROMs in the mix (which I'm not sure are based off of CM material), so I just decided to leave CM7 for any Gingerbread based ROM and CM9 for any Ice Cream Sandwich based ROM
DISCLAIMER: This is by any means no reason to diminish some developer's work, but is instead intended for the average guy who doesn't have all day to be flashing new ROMs everytime a new build comes out.

Nice of you guys to vote, but unless someone posts anything, this thread will just get forgotten.. So I'll take the plunge...

I dont know why CM9 is getting many votes... is not good for every day use yet. Though is nice to experiment but is not stable enought.

Well, Quark's GB CM9 is my daily ROM. It is pretty stable AND usable since 0805 if you blacklist HWUI for some apps.
I really don't see any point why I should go back to stock or CM7.

Considering the rules of poll:
1-CM7
2-MS2Ginger
3-CM9
Since 0805 cm9 i think I'll never come back to a GB rom

CM7 - Euro Skank

Quarx-cm9 from May 11... seems very stable.

I'm using the quarx 120506 (May 6th) and it's pretty stable.
I was having some issues with previous CM9 versions from Quarx and Epsylon, like Bluetooth issues, crashing apps, slower camera, reboots and so on.
This is with no doubt the best CM9 so far (i didn't tested yet the versions from days 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 (may)).
When I have time I'll update to 11th may version to see what have been improved.

I´ve started trying ROMs since i did my register, and that´s a few things i could say about ´em
Gigglebread´s builds of CM7 are the best for me in terms of daily use.
- fast
- stable
- well customized
(i can´t remember of any bug or FC in a little while since i started using it)
120508_v2 Defy+ Quarx´s build of CM9 are the closest of a daily use ROM of all the ones i´ve been testing (so far)
- fastest CM9 i´ve ever tried (after installing Apex Launcher)
- stable (phonecalls, sms, wi-fi, 3g, sensors, camera, gps ...)
- still little buggy with camcorder, and the panomara doesn´t work for me
ps:I ALWAYS do a full wipe before swapping from cm7 to cm9 roms and i always flash my stock SBF before getting back to cm7.
I don´t use chrome, for me dolphin browser mini is enough.

euroskank cm7.2 FTW

cm7 euroskank!

WIUI stable
WIUI stable is the best rom

I'm getting no issues on Maniacs cm-7.2.0-RC1

I´m on Maniacs nightlies (CM 7.2) for quite a while now and my Defy is completely stable, fast and i go for more than 2 days without charging

White Rabbit ist the best for me!

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.

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.

ive found Trick Droid 3.0.0 to be the most stable and gives me decent battery life. im running it on the inspire 4g. i live in the US west cost and running the 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M radio.

Which room is everyone using?

Which rom are you using? What's your setup? Feedback? Reasons? Screenshots?
Development has slowed down a lot on our beloved G2, so it made me curious what everyone has decided to use as their daily roms.
I am using pyromod cm7. Looking to switch. I love Jellybean roms but my sipdroid calling cuts out too much on those roms. Sipdroid works perfectly on gingerbread however.

I stuck with Gen.Y VisionX R3 as it was the first one I installed and everything seems to work really well on it, and it's nice and quick. I didn't really feel like going CM as I like the Sense UI, and I always find that really simple things like calendar, contacts etc always have some sort of problem in the CM builds like the Facebook link to contacts breaking or the calendar randomly stopping syncing, but I do miss some of the extra customizability in the CM builds.

Im using blackice and it runs very well. Its 2.3.4, I love mimicry but for some reason it crashes my router. I personaly may try cm9 or the aokp rom.

I tried several ROM's but they would hang or reboot after running a day or two. Minicry even wouldn't start at all. TrickDroid is a nice Sence Rom, but it was very slow even using swap. Now I've switched to EliteMod & Kernel ICS and it runs fluently.
Unfortunately my beloved Dezire Z died last week.

Was using mimicry 1.5 for quite a time, but recently moved to Flinny's JB 4.2.2. Pretty much happy with it so far.

My DD is a fusion of gen y r3 and sense z lite. My kernel was based on virtous that I have re-configured for functionality. some of the rosie are was taken from desire x. bugs exist but nothing I cant handle and I dont intend to upload any of my work because some of it was taken from other devs work. When I started porting my rom I intended it for personal use only.

Currently I use ajhavery's Desire XZ 1.0 with APM mod (http://www.ajhavery.com/category/desire-xz/) and ckpv5's Tabbed Extended Quick Settings with battery percentage for myOnev 9.0 (here is his rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647052).
It is a very smooth Sense rom, the smoothest I think, just a pity that Rosie Lite can't get landscape mode.

I love tweaks and sense.
Venom ViperZ.
I tried almost all the recent roms, so far viperz is the most complete and stable one imo. With some tweaks, its fast as a fresh install of mimicry.
I ran mimicry for dd (4 months) before switching to viperz.

Flinny's CM10.1 ROMs. Once the phone gets going it runs pretty smooth for a two-year-old single-core phone.

Question regarding ROM's

Hello guys. I wanted to ask for your recommendation for a fast, snappy and fully/mostly fully operational ROM.
I've tried out plenty of the Latest KitKat, JB and other roms and they are all very slow operating on my HTC Desire phone, it really gets frustrating and boring after a while. I really don't mind how old the ROM is as long as it's fast and snappy I'd be more than happy to use it. What do you guys recommend ? Thanks!

Well, this is a tricky thing you ask, you must do some compromises when using a custom ROM. Since I've rooted my phone I've tried a lot of ROMs, but there are a few I've sticked to. Now I'm using Chromium's Beanstalk ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2651790), but the 4th release based on 4.4.2 (I didn't have the time to update to 4.4.4). It mostly works, but there are a few things that don't like MMS, Screen Recorder, VPN, Video Recording and so on, bugs that are present in all 4.x ROMs.
Before using KitKat I've been using Vijendrah's CM10 based ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070704) which was also pretty smooth, but with the bugs presented above.
If you want almost everything to work, you should definitely try a GB ROM. Here are a few ones I've tried and seemed good to me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432250 - one of the best GB ROMs, MildWild has done a great job for our Desires;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279016 - Sense based ROM, pretty good as well;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170633 - another Sense based which ran very smooth on my phone;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151765 - the official 2.3.3 Release for the Desire
Note that if you decide to go for GB, some of the newer apps won't run on these ROMs.
P.S: you can also try some of Spezi's 4.4 ROMs, he is doing a great job for our phones. I haven't tried any of 'em, so I can't say anything about them.
Good luck!

My vote is oxygen 2.3.2. Only ROM that makes my desire feel fast enough now that I've used a nexus 5 for a while. I'm using the desire as a work phone in a construction type setting. It's fast and stable.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I would stick to a gingerbread rom based on oxygen. The MildWild 5.0 rom listed above by Ciobby is what I have been using for the past year and it's fast and stable. It doesn't have as much customizations as CM, but for a phone this old, I just want something that works(camera included) without feeling bloated.

Problem is KitKat roms for HTC Desire can be quite unstable and some thing tend to not work eg video recording.
On my phone I had:
1. Stock Rom (obviously) for quite long...
2. CM 7.2 - it was my first choice for custom roms - and I liked it very much.
3. Oxygen rom 2.3.2 - when I passed phone to my wife - I wanted it to be simple and stable - worked great.
4. Now I test run KitKat roms, my son is now playing on it, sometimes it is just my backup phone. I tried beanstalk but had quite lot of problems with it, now it runs unofficial Carbon rom 0.9 which is quite stable. Some thing doesnt work and sometimes it crashes a bit, quite often on camera and sometimes in settings.
