Hi all =)
I hope I am doing this the right way =)
I have gotten S-off and rooted my moms htc wildfire. Now I need the most stable and fast custom rom for her needs.
She uses her phone for ringing =) doh, texting and then she wants to enjoy some of all the new apps. She never had any free Space for apps before. I have made a Sandisk class 6 micro sd Card for her with ext4 partition 1 gb and 30 mb linux-swap and rest fat32.
So a custom rom that can use an ext4 partition for apps is a must.
I really hope you can help me out, I have to travel home the day after tomorrow, so I hope I can give her something usefull before I leave.
I have looked for other posts and I can see some mentioning cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-buzz. Do you think that would be a good choice for my moms needs?
Love :highfive:

Yeah Cm7 its great for your mom

I think a Sense based ROM would be better suited for your requirement. they are stable and modified ones are quite fast.
And they are more user friendly than aosp ROMs.
you could use your ext partition with them, as I know.
Kwbr and rempuzzle are good roms.
just suggesting.
Thank you for your answers. I would like to try the 2 Roms you recommend lakshan_456, what versions do you recommend for me to try of the 2 you mentioned?

Latest version of rempuzzle did have some issues, not serious ones though. Try kwbr first, then if you don't like it you could try rempuzzle. There are some more sense based custom roms out there. You also check them out if you like.
But I think those 2 roms are the best ones.
Cheers!

Thank you very much lakshan_456 I have just looked at the twbr rom, looks very promising. I am looking forward to try it out and maybe the rempuzzle if twbr is not the right thing for my mom

So that the sense rom will run faster try flashing the rempuzzle kernel from the development section.
I went with...
.....The kwbr, it seems smooth, fast and stable. I tried the rempuzzle but it had so many choices when installing, that I didn't know what to do of it and I had some problems with activating the a2sd in terminal. But rempuzzle also seemed smooth, stable and fast. It just had so many choices when installing and I don't have the time right now to go deep into it =)
Thank you for your help, lakshan_456, Mubz_C and Encang_Rojali.

Try DK custom froyo ROM. Currently using it. Better than kwbr I think.
edit - ROM got little laggy, not using anymore...

I am at home again, so she will have to do with the kwbr.
But next time I visit her, I might just try the DK custom froyo ROM you mention, but if she is happy with the kwbr ROM, then I won't =)

Hi everyone, i'm currently using Leedroid 2.2f and planning to update to 2.3b.
However, i've seen that there's some SenseHD rom in the dev section.
They look really great and i wanted to give one a try... Question is, which one is worth trying and keeping?
Anyone tried some and kept it (at least for more than a week ^^)?
Thanks for your help guys!
I've been using baadnewz's ROM for quite some time with no issues http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861690 I'm not one to flash every new ROM on the block - unless I see a killer new feature somewhere, I'm inclined to leave a working ROM alone.

been using it for a couple of weeks, alot faster and more stable than most of the others.
ReflexTSense 1.4.1 a2sd very nice and fast
I am using Robociks Z Rom v0.5 (came from v0.3), I just love the rotating rosie.
It is fast and without any issue, although people have reported many issues which I can not find on my Desire.
Add another vote for baadnewz's v1.3 - as fast as the stock ROM, no FC's, all fine.
Switched from leedroid to baadnewz too lately. Plan to switch back when leedroid goes hd/new sense/gingerbread.

I have tried loads, inc the new leedroid, keep going back to Baadnewz Rom myself, best that I have found so far.
Hi all! I'm thinking about flashing a new Sense ROM and I'm in between these two ROMs, Rempuzzle is hardly modified as I can see and DK has lesser modification. I'm not a big fan of modification but sometimes it's neccesary.
Here's my critteria:
Fastness, smoothness.
Not crashing often.
No noncureable "Win7 themed ****ing XP" ROMs. (some of the roms has so hardly customized that even the android itself is customized and cannot be cureable)
No silly apps that devs injected to earn dollars.
ext4 support.
I have eliminated some ROMs, Rempuzzle and DK Custom is my options. Now I'm asking for those who used them, what you like in these ROMs like/hate and why? Which one you like the most?
Thanks in advance!
Conclusion: RemPuzzle is a nice ROM, I haven't tried the DK Custom but it seems like I won't for a long time. RemPuzzle is a good ROM. There are some little things but they'll be solved in future versions.
Hi.. I have used both the roms for quite a lot of time...currently I'm using rempuzzle which has become my favorite roms so far...what i liked in it is the stability and looks... It's faster than dk rom ... I would recommend you for a rempuzzle rom.. No useless apps... Just the stock ones ....

Thanks for your answer, my only concern is ext4 support in Rempuzzle. Do you have any idea, should I format my ext to ext3?
Edit: ext4 is not a concern anymore since I reparted to ext3.
Yess rempuzzle is far better than dk..
Its newer version.will be uploaded soon..

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.

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

Hi there,
Since last December, I'm using last version of Oxygen, but during this time I have an issue with camera. Every time I'm started the camera an error "SDcard is unmounted" occurs. I had to unmount, mount again my sdcard and really fast switch to camera application, sometimes two or free times in order to take a photo.
Now I'm trying to find stable ROM for daily use, but I see that developers gone from desire device, only few ICS ROMS, and as I red there isn't enough stable ROM for daily use.
What do you recommend? It could be JB, ICS, GB, the first goal it have to be stable without any major issues and without Sense.
Is way to have a stable rom? I don't want to come back to stock.
Im using EUROSKANK CM 7 rom, no problems, all is working. For me this is best stable rom.

I highly doubt that Oxygen rom is the one giving you issues as I find it one of the most stable roms out there. Have you even considered reflashing the rom and start clean again?
Anyway since you are on the lookout for a new rom then you can try the suggestions the the commenters above.

Thanks everyone for answers,
I'll reading about ROMs mentioned in your answers, for now Nick's Phone looks the best.
About my issue, I reinstalled Oxygen in January, with _total_ wipe: STOCK -> ROOT -> S-OFF -> Oxygen. Now I'll try to check my SDcard (it is 4Gb ADATA class 6, and is old like a phone) I will try to dd if=/dev/zero on this card, maybe this is card issue not rom.

Thanks for your reply. Im using an-droid now for about two months. Its nice clean rom but since I installed much apps its laggy. It also crash two times a week. I think it will be worse when I install runnymede because all the extra eyecandies. Are there better alternatives?

Well I tried all the ICS and JB ROMs but trust me, they are not for daily use. Random reboots, phone freezing and many other little niggles are a pain.
Then I tried the eye candy Sense 3.5 ones. Though everything works in them stability is an issue. Freezing, bsod etc are few issues I faced.
Back on to the stock GB with app2sd support (made by nlooo) and am happy.

I heard about it too. Only issue I found was that the development on it was stopped and so was apprehensive of the support.
Also the OP of the ROM says few users are facing freezing issues while an incoming call. I had this issue earlier too on the RSK teams ROM.
Anyway will give it a shot over the weekend.

I've had good experiences with Runny Rom too. I've used Runnymede AIO for a long time and also had those freezing issues you mention, but it's not only caused by the ROM itself directly. Most likely it's caused by the SD card. I've used 2 different 16GB class 6 cards (Samsung and Sandisk) and they both caused problems. I'm using a class 4 32gb sandisk now I didn't have any single freeze yet.
But, like said before, those sense 3.5 ROMs are quite heavy, probably the most heavy for your SD card. For stable and lagfree sense I wouldn't advise them. It might work, but can also cause a lot of problems.
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

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 !

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.
