coolexe has an alignment script that will convert ext3 -> ext4 just before flashing

that is a good place to start - although some of the links are incorrect and I think some are in the wrong categories which is a shame

lothaen, thanks i gave it a go, i have come to the conclusion that i hate sense, i love the way it looks and the customization, but when you get down to the nitty gritty things, i hate it lol

I like sense - but thats just my opnion

fair enough, i want to like it tho

Same with me.
Tried leedroid, oxygen, cm6, cm7, various HD ports and settled down to miui.us 1.7.22.

I love sense and I will go back to it at some point, waiting on Droidzone to update his gingerburst RoM. But at the moment am using MIUI data2ext and its bloody great, love everything about it, at first it looks abit iphoney but you can download alot of themes and change the look.
So try MIUI

No Sense no HTC. If you want no sense buy SG2
And BTW LeeDroid rox

Cool AceS Mix v2,very fast
but no chinese touch input

Beso your hardcore mate, if i can get a sgs2 for £150 of ebay i would mate, but to be honest i hate samsung stuff so it'd be an opx2 for me mate
actually i have tried the 2 hd senses, they feel very laggy to me, is the normal senses a bit faster, i might give them a go, just to spice things up, but even tho i hate apple stuff, i love the miui rom, so classy, i might find a sense rom for backup for when i have an urge for it

The only thing why I would consider miui is auto brightness which works fcuking awesome with it. Otherwise, I'm sticking to my Sense integration wrapped in my LauncherPro theme

im downloading leedroid 3.0.8.2, not the hd one, i'll give it a try, what would you say is the best sense rom? non hd? iv come from having a wildfire,blade and pulse, one thing i will say is that the dev community for the desire is amazing, so many devs, roms, kernels, the works, we are very lucky to be spoilt and have so much to choose from.

Can you Please Post Questions in the Q&A forum Thanks
Moving to Q&A

the first rom i installed was gingervillain 2.0
ive tried several roms, coming and going between them, they all had advantages/disadvantages. but i always keep ending up installing gingervillain. its does everything i need, its quick, it's sense-less (personally dont like it) and as yet, i dont think ive encountered a bug with it.
now running gingervillain 2.7

Redux 1.2, awesomely fast! original android 2.3 without sense or any other big additions. Clean and stable! no bugs so far!

Huh? Sense may be an HTC ui but its not like a Desire wont work without it! In fact it works better without it, have you seen the aosp ROMs out there?

All sense ROMs are a little bit laggy as they kinda bog down the OS.. if you want a very fast and stable ROM, try an aosp ROM like CyanogenMod7.. its awesome! I've heard Oxygen is also very good, its what I'll be trying next

[Q] ARHD Custom lockrings

Hi,
i'm using Android Revolution HD 6.3.1 with awesome success - thanks mike1986.
i was looking at leedroid custom rom and noticed you can have custom lockrings for his rom. i tried on ARHD 6.3.1 and the phone got to the lock screen but that was it.
i've searched the ARHD dev thread but found no answer, can custom lockrings be put onto ARHD, and is the a guide on how to make them, or a list of them?
thanks

That is due to the new base the rom is based off of. That version the coding changed and the older lockscreens don't work.

ahh, thanks, makes sense.
i'll wait and see what happens unfortunaltey coding does not run in my blood!

Yeah they changed the code for the HTC proprietary files that have not been cracked yet.

oh right, i thought it was just modifiying something, i guess with ICS in betas everywhere, this might not be looked it.

Oh no do t think that. There are those that don't use CM based roms. Me for example. Some really like sense. I use it as the OEM bases have better drivers then the AOSP. To be honest I have been able to get the old lockscreens to work on the new base but am looking to make sure there are no issues. I run a senseless rom for the most part so I am not sure if it works with all of sense still installed.

cool, i'll keep an eye out, see what happens.
thanks very much for your help

Keep the good working
we all wait for your work
thank you

hopefully soon...

[Q] Which ROMs have everything working?

I really wanna ROOT my phone in preparation of an official CM9 build. My old phone has a few apps that require ROOT and I'd like to continue using them, however, before I can install them, I need to be ROOTed and there's little point in me ROOTing and then giving up the full functionality of my phone. Thus I ask, which HOX ROMs have everything working?

I use

I use leedroid. i tried jdroid, cm9, HD rev, but none of them was satisfying. i find leedroid the best. everything works.
i'd like to have the cm9 keyboard tho.

you cant go wrong with charmeleon. everything and more working
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Arhd and charmeleon for sense roms
Jdroid or paranoidandroid for aosp or less sense roms.
I tried most of these
Typed with XDA Premium on OneX

I vote for ARHD and Team PkMn ROM - Charmeleon which will be upgrade this night..
For non sense ROM i really like the features on ParanoidAndroid..

I like jdroid as lessened sense. Keeps sense beats and sense camera.
Although ARHD and Charm are still my choices when going for sense roms

whats the most stable JB ROM?

hi,
i know asking what rom is better is not a good questions as it is different for different people. However, I just want to know what is the most stable, so once I flash it i dont need to keep re flashing.
I am ussualy a fan of CM and when they get stable releases I flash them and then dont need to think about it anymore. on my previous samsung galaxy S I used the CM9 RC for a long time until the stable CM9 came out and then used that.
currently there is not stable CM10 and when it comes out I will probaby use it perminently.
What JB rom can i install that will be stable to use for the next months until CM10 stable comes out?
im using stock JB right now.

stock.

ok i understand. but i guess the main things im lacking on stock is percent battery, ability to alter the navigation bar at the bottom, adding shortcuts to the lock screen slider, and themes.
is there any way to do that on stock? if not any other rams as clock to stable as stock

ok, what the heck is BAMF i searched that in the android development and dont know what rom your talkign about

Bugless Beast, 9-27 has to new binaries and is JRO03R.

Rasbeanjelly. Its the cleanest rom ever. Fast, amazing battery life and the latest aosp source. Also the nee binaries from jro03R. You should try it. It has the power widget, lockscreen targets and some more mods. If you dont like all the blue of the icons, simply flash modstorms white mod. Flash the rom + trinity/franco. The outcome is awesome performance, no slowdowns, everything just works. No reboots and sh!t. I highly recommend it.

I agree with this. Rasbeanjelly + trinity kernel. The rom is very clean. Here's the thread, but you should read the faq before doing anything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455874

i love watching these cute pandas slaughter themselves.. nothing but pleasure.

I'm using AndroidME with Stock Google Kernel, works perfect, stable, actually it's a stock rom with improvements. The only thing missing for me is T9 Dialer, but no problem to install MOD for it.

You've already got the most stable Jelly Bean software then

stock, are you jellin, cm10.
after those you get into roms with more features and and there tends to be little bugs that sometimes go along with them.
Nothing against the others Ive had good experiences on alot of roms but as for the MOST stable these in my opinion would be them.

Stock ROM.
Beamed from my Grouper.

ok looking into BAMF and rasbeanjelly.
another question that could help me dicide between the two. do either have the possibility to upgrade the rom on the device without a computer. so when i install it i can always have the latest version without having to keep resetting to factory settigns and wiping all the data and cache

all roms do.. that's why you have custom recoveries.. i strongly suggest you read efrants stickies before you flash anything.

Yeah, you should read up on some stuff before continuing anything Rom related. Just look for stickied topics, read them, and you will have way less questions left.

are you sure? becuase when i was running CM9 RC2 on my old captivate, then the CM9 stable came out. I kept checking for updates in the settings and it kept saying my software was upto date. I had to download the new file and flash it again in clockwork mod.

[Discussion]What ROM are you using and why? (Not a best rom thread!)

What ROM are you using and why?
This is not a thread about what rom you tink is best, but it's about what rom you use and why!
This is just to get alittle info and to help out us new people to choose our first rom.
Happy writing ladies and gents!
Looking forward to read all your comments and reasons.​

I am using AOKP by Task650 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748251
I use it because it is breathtakingly smooth, has great customizability, and nice AOSP features like lockscreen notifications and lockscreen ring built right in. I have also tried and like ViperOne and CM11, but AOKP is my DD.

On my main unit I'm debranded to got an stock rooted with s-off and having sense6toolbox installed via xposed framework.
Nevertheless on my secondary device I'm on ViperOne (M8) 2.0.1 and lovin' it. It's fast, stable and highly customizable, but still has Sense 6 and all my loved HTC apps installed. Just a great ROM for users who like the original Sense 6 feeling but want to have a maximum of customization option. Another very nice ROM I tried is ARHD 10.2.
