Thanks

Every ROM is different so is every Desire. There is no best ROM that suits all.
Try yourself all of them and settle with what's best for you.

If you want stability and speed, use gingerbread-based ROMs.
But if you want a newer android, jellybean is smoothest than ics.
As JB ROMs, there are many, some with more graphics and some other with more features... but I would suggest CyanoMod007 (best if installed with INT2EXT+ using a class 10 microSD card), which I consider the best one for balance between stability/speed and features/compatibility.
Otherwise, if you can also try SlimROM which is even more fast but contains the minimum of features.
Hope this helps a bit, however the best thing is always wipe and flash until you find the ROM that best suits your needs

Thanks, I've proven the VJ Cyanogenmod, but the camera didn't run and I had problems with some apps..

[Q] What ROM you use

What rom do you use?

MIUI. Best ROM I have ever used.

I think this question gets asked once a month. Best advice i have read is try out each ROM for at least a week, then decide. Make sure you give yourself pleny of time. Everyone here has their own preferences, but try them out yourself.

Your poll is flawed, what it should really say is 'What version of CM7 do you use'
InsertCoin 1.5 (Sense 2.1 + 3.0)

This is a question and therefore goes in the Q&A section. Please think twice before posting a question in the Android Development section.
To answer your original question, RemPuzzle is best when overclocked to about 672. It's smooth and fluid. And majority of people know what Sense looks like, but not AOSP. It will have a learning curve attached if you go for AOSP ROMs. CM9 is also unstable and not suitable for daily use if you're not a dev. I use it for my daily driver but the camera, video playback etc. doesn't work.
You could take a look at my reviews thread.
I recommend you CM7 cause it has many cool features and animations and is the most popular one on the web. And I also is very stable. I won't recommend you CM9 cause its under development, Many things aren't supported yet.

It's not the lightest or snappier though.

Rempuzzle is the best. Overclocked to 691Mhz keeps it very quick, wait for the 2.70 update to get a sense 4.0 look
She is very glad with using RemPuzzle. I check RemPuzzles topic every day for news ^^ But this rom has lags sometimes. Is a method for this? I want to make her happy with using Wildfire. I know wildfire isnt a good phone but maby there are tips or apps to make phone smoother and faster? Thanks

Except overclocking or tweaking some thing on the rom, don't really know any more things to do to make it faster or snappier.. maybe someone else knows tho.
I found kwbr Wildfire 4.0 as fastest and stable. In other sense ROMs had lags. This one fits me best. Added new kernel, overclock and it's best by now

Most are using Gingerbread. Some are on ICS. Any user who is still on Froyo at this point probably doesn't have any idea about rooting and or XDA or just wanna be left alone in the past.
No need for a poll or a thread really.

Ye.
Best rom thread with a flavor twist.
I'm on ICS now (miui v4)
MIUI 2.3 working perfectly
ICS too ! With the rom of dk_zero-cool.
Everything runs fast on my old device
would be interesting who is still on 2.1
I think that was the shipping version, right?
Still using xj miui 2.3
Currently on off GB, downloading runnymede's sense 3.5 rom

I'm on Miui ICS... !!! Best ROM ever
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
I'm using ICS from DK_Zero-Cool (v3.3u1). Most stable one i've experienced until now
MIUI XJ since New year, probably will try with some Sense ROM soon
I'm still using CM7.2 RC1. Very stable and fast.
Could anyone explain to me why everybody is so hyped about ICS? I mean I appreciate what the devs of ICS ROMs do and it's great that they make ICS possible on our old Desires.
I tried Sandvold's ROM and BCM. They're quite good and making good progess, but I always came back to CM7.
I actually don't see a point in switching to ICS (yet) unless you like flashing and testing new ROMs, because CyanogenMod 7 and other 2.3 ROMs seem more stable and faster and they have all the features ICS offers.
Is it the looks of ICS or just that it's new and you want to test it?
I'll probably switch over eventually, but at the moment I'm just curious what you like about ICS.

Best stable ROM (any version of android, for general usability)

I'm giving my old HTC Desire to my friend, but before I do I want to flash the best ROM for a laymen's use, in terms of stability, battery life and speed.
Personally, I have a Galaxy Nexus with JB and I love it - I think JB heralds a new era in which android finally shows that iOS is just hype and not god.
I've seen there are ROMs right the way up to Jelly Bean, which I find pretty amazing considering the age of the Desire handset - however, there must be quite a few issues to iron out, and I doubt that my friend, who will be more worried about his phone working than whether it's up to date with android, will appreciate these issues.
So which ROM would you recommend? Quick answers appreciated cause I need to give him the phone within two hours! Lol
Thanks for your help
CM or Oxygen. U wont have any problems with either

Stable Rom
I really enjoy Mr. mephisto and RSK team rom, the 3.5 sense is awsome and the AMAZE cam is.. well.. AMAZING.
I have it for almost 2 months now.
It gives the old Desire a great new look!
and with the aroma installer is super customized.

And is that stable enough without any freezes and bsod?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
No freezes, running smoother than any other rom i had.
you need S-off with CM7 and 4EXT touch recovery.

It's beautiful and stable, but it's too heavy (read slow) even on fast sd. If you have to sell the phone, just install stock rom (with sense), or an aosp like cm7 or oxygen.
No man, install stock Oxygen rom , create partition ext4 for a2sd. And that is it. Rom is completely bug free, and it has bedt battery life. Speed is great, and no laggs at all !

Cool droid v3 with primo theme.
I have to agree. Cool Droid v3 is the stable and cool GB ROM for me.
Stuck to this after trying many many ROMs out there.

U wouldnt happen to have a working link to COOL DROID v3 ?
The only reason I might even consider changing this rom I'm using would be somewhat poor multitasking. But I think I'll most likely need to finally upgrade to a better device.

Erklat, why don't you try cool droid? I find multitasking good on that one. I had the rom you're using before, and it's one of the best, but cool droid is even better.... I am sure you'll like it.

Oxygen 2.3.2 + thalamus r4 kernel. Use Oxygen r2 hboot. If You need more space, with GParted make ext3 or ex4 partition.
I've found it best combination (almost one year using it). It's not full of widgets like Sense roms, but You can install Fancy Wigdets or Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather similar to Sense.
I put the last stable version of miui on my dads desire, and it runs perfectly so far. Using the 2.3.7 os which is pretty stable.idk about battery life tho

What seems to be best GB ROM at the no ?

Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
There isn't one
Ask yourself, what is best for you, not what everyone else thinks is best for them.
Or search for 'best Rom' as there are already so many threads...
Install a few, find what YOU like, is always the 'best' way

The last one I liked was LeeDroiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB-R5. That's my default fall back option when an experimental ICS/JB screws up my phone right before a trip.
Or if you need something very basic keep CM7.2.0.1. Always the safest though barebones.
btw..I am on Stock H-boot and all these work great with it.
I recommend trying MildWild Redux 3. It's one of the best roms for the Desire.
