GinbgerBread roms not quite there yet?

I have been testing a few gb roms including RCM and reflex. I have found them to be slower when compared to Leedrioid 2.4.1. Are the latest gb roms not quite there yet due to there currently been no official 2.3 ruu?

I have been using InsertCoin since the beginning and it has just gone from strength to strength. Very very fast and faster than Leedroid v2.4.1

Thats one I havent tried, will give it a go.

I'm using LeeDroid 3.0.5 GB and it's freakin' awesome! Built-in task management is such a welcome addition, works really well IMO...

I also used LeeDrOiD v3.0.5. It is really nice. But now i use Redux v1.2 (it is an aosp-gingerbread v2.3.3). It feels so much faster and smoother. Seems to be more stable, too. It does not have Sense, nevertheless i like it much more than leedroid after a short time for adjustment.

insertcoin now is nice for me. v20 that is. tried v17 a week ago maybe and it was laggy at times. v20 is nice

Both Insertcoin and Reflex S roms are very fast and responsive roms. By the way, if you feel comfortable changing your partition tables (really easy with android flasher) You should give the CM7 partion table roms a go, they're even faster than the normal A2SD versions. (Insertcoin and RCMix have this for instance)

Hi, sorry for noob question.. hv never rooted/installed custom roms, but will do that very soon.
What are ext3 and ext4 partitions used for? in tutorials of the dev of InsertCoin seen that only ext4 created (so, why I am confused) & assume ext1 and 2 assigned already to the system, right?

NB: Everything i say here i say under correction.
Ext 3 & 4 are extended file systems, these are needed by ROMS which use A2SD (Apps2SD). These file systems mimic "internal storage" space as when you use a custom ROM that uses A2SD all the apps you install will install to the Ext 3/4 partition. Normally if a ROM says its needs Ext 4 the you need to partition your SD card with a Ext 4 partition or the ROM wont work. Whereas if the sat Ext2/3/4 then you can use either.
Hope this helped

I have decided to go back to 2.4.1, so much faster than the current gb roms, will look at gb when the official software is out and the developers can tweak it.

I tried Redux and Oxygen. Fast gb roms imo.

i like Reflex S v1.9.9
But now Videocamera is still a problem

I had MMS issues on GB roms, despite they are quite fast, they feel too buggy to me, that's why I reflashed a stock Froyo rom (that is bug free)

Going from Froyo to Gingerbread

Hi. Could you pass on a little information to me please? I have Leedroid 2.4.1(Froyo). I'm using A2SD with an ext3 partition. Not using Sense.
Would like to give a Gingerbread ROM a try.
Is there anything I need to do special/different when putting a GB based ROM onto my Desire as oppose to when I've upgraded a Froyo based one?
I'm thinking Radio updates or Nandroid backup or....?
Thanks

miui rocks and now its 2.3.4 check it out miuiandroid .com

Yes i can confirm that, im using cmiui. Its the best miui version. I think its the best because i cant find bugs ^^
In Addition: if u try it u will never have an other rom. Anymor, so many features its incredible and so easy to use

Thx mate.. and what about S-OFF ? is security-off a 'must' for custom roms? or just for some certain purposes?

DevNull, the fastest ROM I've had since rooting back in May last year.
20 Seconds to boot from completely off, and insanely fast to use.

Did you try insertcoin?

which rom should i use

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.

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..

Daily diver for non-tecnical little sister. Link2SD? GB? ICS?

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.

[Q] Which CM is best for Wildfire S ??

I have had rooted my device, Now i just want to select CM. which CM is more stable on wildfire S Cm 9.1 or Cm 10 ?
And if i partition the card with ROM manager app ,is it safe will it delete my data from the card ?

I haven't tried any other CM but CM10, so I cannot tell you wether it's more stable than CM7 or CM9, but I can tell you that it is fully satisfying! It's smoother thand the original sense 2.5 rom on your WFS and most problems that occured with CM10 are solved or are being solved thanks to the devs... So I would go for the latest CM, which is CM10...
I tested modpunk's CM10 Alpha 2 and ParanoidAndroid 2.54 JB and Jelly King 1.2 and I have to say that Jelly King is probably the best Rom I have ever used! Go for it!

Odp: [Q] Which CM is best for Wildfire S ??
I flashed Jelly King and I must say it's very good rom. Fast, smooth etc.
But in my case voice search and other voice service doesn't work. I don't know why is that Rom fault or gapps.

Thankx man

Since buying my wfs I stayed on stock only for a little bit. So for over a year I've been using various cm and cm- based roms.
Right now I've found cm10 builds to be somewhat snappier. Cm9 based roms a little more stable imho. (Still, the most stable for me have been cm7 based roms.)
To your second question now, if you're going to be partitioning your SD, do take the time to backup first, definitely.

You'll probably want to create an ext-4 partition because of the limited internal memory. You won't be able to install many apps if you don't.

You don't want to create a partition but you don't mind creating a partition?!?
Anyways, best ROM threads are not allowed on xda. Everyones idea of "best ROM" is different, so you should try a few out and see which one suits your needs. With that being said pretty much all of the aosp gingerbread ROMs are quite stable. My personal favourites are milwilds.

@Chromium I never used best here ! I asked for a stable and usable ROM ! And if I do create a partition which ROM performs well ! ?
The links to the ROM would be appreciated !

I use An-Droid for year and a half or so, and I'm always nitpicking about stability and I'll be using it for two moar days
If it is a favor u r doing for him, avoid Jellybean.

Tell you what, Evervolv's ROMs are the most stable and fastest. Slim them down, use jmcclue's smaller system-size hboot, and you are awesome

Im liking MildWild 5.0 for smooth and stable everyday use.

Suernova 2.4.0.1 is the one, and it also provides a memory extension, throuhg flashing data2sd.

MildWild MW 14 (Redux), super smooth, fully woking camera and userfriendly aps2sd implementation.

I am also using MildWild 14, it's stable, fast and smooth. Totally recommend it!

Mildwild rom are the more usable with android 2.x if you want a nice and simple rom with the ability to use a lot of apps and almost bug free.
For android 4.x ROM I think it's best to wait the evervolv team (aka Nikez) with kitkat which seems to be the fastest rom with all the latest improvements.

For the stability Mildwild rom rocks. But its gb. So you can not install some apps or you can not use the latest version (gmail etc.)
If you wanna 4.x rom on htc desire, for now 4.0.4 ics roms are is the best solution i think.
Give a try marius.a's qissme port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095658
or directly the qissme rom (without a2sd, intext support but u can use link2sd from market) http://desirecustomrom.blogspot.com/2013/04/qiss-me-rom-404rc-21005.html
Roms stock launchers is not good enogh but u can install nova/apex/aviate/milauncher etc. from market.
Edit: 210 mb hboot will enogh for qissme rom

Hi everyone
i've tried all the Roms for the Desire, but i'm a speed fan, so i suggest absolutely the Mildwild MW-14. :laugh:

I use Miui-XJ for everyday use and i think it's the best GB NONSENSE ROM for this phone.
Then i tried Mildwild-ROM = clean, stable and powerful and RSK Sattelite 3.5 = Sense ROM very stable and full of utility on it
The ROM based on ICS and JB it's heavy for the hardware. but the authors like evervolv team, vijendras and chromium make an excellent work for the life of this phone.
Greets!

Now, the most stable roms are the stock ones. So you can try that or most of GB roms. If you want to newer ones, try Chromium's or VJ's. But problems of these roms are camera and soft reboots.

For me, now it's most stable Evervolv KitKat rom (Nikez 4.0.0p2). No soft reboots or such things. No of JB roms is so great.

*Stock*
As with any thread of this type, each user need make the choice on their own. While this thread has survived, many end up in arguments claiming "this is the best".
As always, it's best to try some out and find which is "most stable" for you.
Thank you and thread closed
