[Q] Which ROM?

Hi all, I have HTC desire and I am constantly running out of internal memory I am going to root the phone to solve this. I am a complete noob to this so which custom ROM would be easy to install and stable out of the following Cyanogenmod7, LeeDroid 3.0.5 or MIUI ROM, Thanks

Id try the cyanogenmod or miui.

Cyanogenmod 7 or Gingervillain plus CMHBOOT(from alpharev.nl) can solve your problem I think

Thanks for replies jroc716 & plohoi. I will have closer lock at the ROMS ye have recommended

all these rom's r running fast and stable. internal-memory problems had gone by integrating ext-partition(s). so which rom u take is just a matter of ur personal favors.

I have had look at the ROMS suggested in this tread and I am going to flash MIUI Rom by xavierjohn22 but not sure which version is most stable. Should I flash the froyo version (2.2) or 2.3.4 gingerbread (latest version) or 2.3 gingerbread. . I be grateful for any help on this, thanks

1st of all you better obtain an SD Card at least Class4 then follow the guide with the link I will give below. This will help you move your applications to SD and have more space.

And as a ROM Choice, better use InsertCoin

Thanks alpivelopx for the reply. Ya I have class 4 SD card and I have carefully studied the noob proof guide just can’t make up my mind on which rom to flash.
I likr the look of MIUI have any experience using this rom? Which version is most stable?
I have had a look at InsertCoin and having the new Sense would be cool.
I use google maps a lot and assume this bug “compass doesn't always point north” will be a problem. Is there a stable Froyo version?

At first: One cannot say, which is the best rom. It's a personal feeling. You should read the posts where the authors describe there themes and then you should decide. If you cannot, just try one. If you like it, stay with it.
I think you should install the latest version of MIUI. It's usually the most stable version.
I cannot find a (stable) Froyo version of Insertcoin. Maybe ask the author (baadnewz) if he can upload it for you.

Thanks Matdroid, I think your right. I'll try a few roms and decide which is best for me.

I can recommend Leedroid 2.4.1.
A very good and stable Sense rom with A2SD+!

Like others have said... it's more of a personal opinion with ROMs as to their speed and usefulness but if you can get by with the compass issue until it gets resolved (hopefully shouldn't be too long as devs are working like crazy at porting sense 2.1/3.0 to desire) I warmly recommend InsertCoin.
The chef is pushing updates like there's no tomorrow an also makes time to answer people's questions (how he manages it I don't know...) and also you have all the info you need in the first 2 post of the thread.

PS: regarding speed, keep in mind that benchmark apps (Quadrant) don't tell the full tale. Try the ROMs for yourself.

I second leedroid 2.4.1..... fast and stable with a2sd+. I wouldn't bother with gingerbread yet still a bit buggy
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

+1 on leedroid 2.4.1

My first not-htc-rom was leedroid v.3.0.5. It was nice. But since a while i use redux v1.2. I like it much more than leedroid, although you have to readjust a little to use a non-sense-rom.

The best froyo sense rom is the InsertCoinHD 2.0.1 Data2Ext.
The best gingerbread rom is InsertCoin v25 CM7.

Keep in mind that Cynogenmod and Miui don't include Htc Sense on it.
I've been using on Leedroid (froyo) for sometime and it was great and stable.
I'm running now Insertcoin v25 (gingerbread) and it's also great. I got 2 issues that I can live with - the compass issue (not pointing north) and the camera makes my phone boot itself sometimes. but other than that it's great.
Both roms have a2sd+, and if you want something stable than I recommend Leedroid 2.4.1. After some time you can get gingerbread roms based on the official release from htc (something like mid-june or a bit later)

Hi
Hmm running out of internal Space *gg*
I Recommend you use InsertCoin, or an ROM Which fits on CM Hboot, Here is the System Partition smaller, difference space is added to userdata, so "more internal" Memory for you.
Pls. Think if you change your SD Card, or crash of it, your OS Cant booting because 1/3 of our System is stored on it. (sdext)
S-Off required.
If you don´t want to manipulate hboot (afraid of crashing bootloader), use any App2SD Rom.
I have many Problems with DATA2SD and DATA2Whatever Scripts.
App2SD is very good.
*I User Insertcoin GS_V26* and i´m happy with it.
Baadnewz is providing these Rom with STock or CM Hboot.
Just Look at a few Roms, (Download 2-3 Roms and test it) an fix install it, which you mostly like. ))
Sorry for my bad english, i´m from austria *hmp*

I recommend Oxygen or MIUI! Both very good and stable!

@MindVision1Thanks for the reply. I am right in saying the Hboot resizes the internal memory to allocate different amount of space to the system. You can get different hboot's from http://alpharev.nl/ so I am right in saying the cm hboot you recommend is the Bravo CM7 on alpharev site.
So If I go with the CM Hboot I have to get a custom rom that fits the 130MB system memory and will also have 300MB free for apps on the internal memory.
If some of the rom is on the sd card and I remove it or it gets damaged I will have a major problem?
How do you know what size a ROM is?
My desire is stock with no branding

looking for a rom

im new to rooting and flashing. im ready to root and flash a rom but i dont know what roms will work or not work.
i have a us cell htc desire 2.2 cdma hboot 1.06
gonna use revolutionary to do it.
could someone recommend a decent user friendly rom for a noob

First ROMs I used were the LeeDroid Froyo versions. Very straight forward and easy to use.
Most here would recommend the CyanogenMod ROMs, or Oxygen. MIUI is popular, but I read just as many bad things as good with that one. Of the GingerSense ROMs, you can't go past RCMix, InsertCoin or LeeDroid. There are also CrystalPyramid and CoolSensation, but I would consider those a little more advanced than the others listed.
In all honesty, most ROMs are pretty easy to use. Some require a little more setting up of partitions or the like, but there's not alot to be scared of.
Good luck!!

this there any roms that i can just flash and go?
is there a certain CyanogenMod ROM you could recommend?
i dont know how to do partitions on my sd. just want the easiest thing yo flash, i wouldn't mind a rom with ginerbeard..

you can use gparted, or minitool partition (I used it and it's simple as..)

after a lot of testing im now on latest leedroid. Stable and fast, any issues.
U should give it a try! Install with full cache, davlic, data wipe - and it will work without any probs

from what i found on google this afternoon theres not many roms that work with htc desire (bravoC)?

will this work?

what does this mean?"You must have an ext 2/3/4 partition on ur SD-Card (512MB - 1GB recommended)"

SGBS is for GSM Desire only ... sorry
That means that you MUSt have an second partition on your SD-Card, because some system files are there and A2SD+ needs the scond one.

damn is there one like that but for cdma ?

this there a rom like the one i posted the link for but cdma instead?
any of these work?

[Q] New to root

I am runnig cm7.1 .... I was wondering if some one can tell me which room is the smallest and stable and off course the coolest. I just have 81.17 mg left in my internal memory.. i also have a 32gb sd card ... I love cm7 but i have no idea if there is a better and smaller room out there ...thx for you help....
Somenthig close to ics...lol

Try dGB (just klick on my sig).
For nearly unlimited internal memory use a ROM in combination with DATA2SD / DATA2EXT-script.

I believe you have to decide what you think is cool... Check out what other people choose and their motivations in the other thread... here
Personally I left Sense 3.5 projects and went to stable and fast, and installed AN-Droid 2.1.0 data++, that gave me speed, space and (for me) a bug free ROM.

An attic would be very small and cool. hmmph

q?
Does any body know is there is a room for htc desire call skyrider.... and also i saw like a spinning cube when u change screen to screen can any1 tell me how to get that effect....thx so much ... for ur info i am running cm7.1 and go launcher ex.. please help.... I want to make my droid sexier.....lol thx

small and stable ? well you can go past aosop based roms such as oxygen etc , if you need more space for apps you could use droid zones flashable data2sd script .zip , does the job well and since you have a large sd card it should work well etc ,dont forget to partian your sd before flashing this script .

Thank u . I'll Try it

Go for MIUI rom by XJ. Very fast, great support and stable.

Miui is very different and you would want to test before using it daily... questions about ROM's are awkward because ithere is no best rom, its your opinion..

My 2 cents:
what ROM is the best it's hard to say, because it depends on what are you looking for.
Usually when it comes to HTC Desire we have 3 macro-families of ROMS:
1) AOSP ROMS - Like CM7 or Oxygen, they are based on the STANDARD Android OS, so there is NO SENSE interface. They are usually pretty stable and light, they are very small etc. but only you can say if they are cool
2) Gingerbread - Sense 1.9/2.1 ROMS - These ROMS are somewhat similar to the stock one, with a newer version of Android (2.3.x) and a version of Sense which is close to the stock one. Most of them feature scripts like A2SD+ of Data++ for storing applications on the SD card, so that you won't finish the space too soon as it happens with the stock firmware
3) Sense 3/3.5 or ICS4 - Here we go advanced, Android is usually 2.3.5 and you have a SENSE interface taken from the latest HTC devices, if you want my opinion these ROMs are the coolest, but since they are very different from what was planned for the Desire, you can get many different issues, some programs not working as they are intended to and so on. For sure the overall experience is slower, since the CPU and RAM are downsized for such an interface. ICS ROMS are based on the new Android 4 OS, there's no SENSE interface and they are mostly alpha or beta releases, so if you want something stable you better leave them alone
Here's the link to the desire index thread where you can find all the ROMS for your Desire:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
Hope I've been useful

If you enjoy cm7, I have an idea for you to get much more space for apps. First of all download GParted and make two partitions first will be about 30GB fat32 primary partition and second will be 2 GB ext4 (primary ofc). Then go to this thread and flash INT2SD script. After that almost all space from your ext4 partition will be free for apps (ext4 partition is recommended to be 1-2 GB).

So much info thx

[Q] Sense ROM for my noobish father

So time has come to switch my good ol' Desire for the One.. It's still in great shape though so I will give it to my father, who has never had a smartphone before. My mother has had a Desire for a while now too, so I'd like to pass the responsibility of teaching him how to operate on it to her.
As such, I need a Sense rom that is as close to stock Froyo as possible, very stable and with a good battery life(which will seem short anyway for a smartphone-newbie. I've tried MIUI and MW's Oxygen roms in the past and while I was very happy with those, I need a Sense one for this and I haven't tried any of them to be honest so I have to ask.. Which do you consider to be the most stable, fast, good battery Sense rom available?
So far I considered downgrading but thought it's too much of a hassle for nothing since there are a variety of Froyo ROMs but I have no idea which are the best in time.
It doesn't have to be the newest, as I said even an older Sense version is alright since I want it to look as close to Froyo as possible. Space isn't much of a concern either but since I can't take my card to the new phone a2sd is welcomed. And one last thing, though I don't know how feasible, if any of them have additional language support, Romanian in this case, that'd be swell.

Go to development section and theres a thread at the top for a rom called CoolSense, thats prob the best oldish sense rom there is. U will need to partition ur sdcard tho if u want a2sd, theres a guide in my sig.

I already have my card partitioned since I used a2sd/d2ext as well in the past. I assume you're talking about CoolDroid v3 being based on CoolSense? Or the older CoolSense 2.1, since CD seems rather new and bloated(for my needs) with GB/ICS themes etc.

Most stable ROM ? Usable ?

Hey ppl ! My friend has this phone ! And I just wanted to help him get the latest android version ! So what's the most stable ROM out here ? I don't want to create a partition in my SD card for the ROM to work ! Or if the ROM is real good I don't mind creating a ext4 partition

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.
Try VJ's CM10.1

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
