[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

[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

the best one is the one that's best for your needs, not what everyone else says is best for them.
try a few and find out...
but if you have already decided that leedroid is the best, i read the last page of the thread and found this link.
also, you should read the FAQ to set it up properly.

erm.. thats JB 4.2.2

I think the fastest is Mild wild sense ROM. But better try them by yourself because it depends what u need from the ROM etc. I personally use RSK 4.2.2 JB non-sense ROM because its the fastest JB (my opinion) and also I use it for about a week and didn't get any soft reboots. Good luck.

Hi
I'm new in rooting world! until now I read most of these ROMs threads:
GingerBread (AOSP):
==================================[Version]=================
MildWild GB-1 Based on Solstice ROM--------------------------------------->[v1.0.7/10th/March/2013]
MildWild based on CyanogenMod7--------------------------------------->[CM 8.0 JG Stable/27th/January/2013]
MildWild based on Oxygen 2.3.2--------------------------------------->[v4.9/23rd/January/2013]
MildWild Based on Redux2 TEST--------------------------------------->[v.MW-9.5/5th/March/2013]
Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) AOSP/SDK:
==================================[Version]=================
[ROM/MOD 4.0.4] Marius.a--------------------------------------->[v3.5/8th/March/2013]
And tested these:
MildWild Based on Redux2 TEST--------------------------------------->[v.MW-9.5/5th/March/2013]
&
[ROM/MOD 4.0.4] Marius.a--------------------------------------->[v3.5/8th/March/2013]
I like this ROM: "MildWild Based on Redux2 TEST" be cause It is fast/working all functions except GPRS in my case!! evrything work great and really fast! but after 2 weeks It get slow down!!!
"MildWild Based on Redux2 TEST" was simple at graphics and icons! but that was not important for me! in the other hand "[ROM/MOD 4.0.4] Marius.a" was better in graphics and have some small nice featuers too. but again my GPRS do not work under it and after some hours my WiFi do not work too and some reboot start ........ !!!
as all above friends said, better to test them yourself on your phone but in my opinion it will be wiser that first read most of the users posts/responses at those threads!

yeah,not a sense rom.

Until now best custom ROMs for my Desire /s
..are :
MildWild
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=169552817
Those roms are working for me the best way. Phone is stable and without crashes even thru the fact im apps and tuning maniac
Definitely worth to try them at least.

Hi again m8s
From my last post until now, I was installing and testing this great ROM "MildWild GB-1 Based on Solstice ROM" from MildWild.
For 7 days, It worx great!!! I'm really happy to see not only a Custom ROM work without any problems but also it is much much better than original OS on HTC Desire!!!!!!
Well done MildWild :good:
If @Tobster2113 you did not test it yet, please test it and tell me about your experience! All features are working great and I install some app from Google Play without any problem! (GPRS and WiFi worx without any problems!)

Old School - I've tried most of them, Mildwild makes good roms, used to love his Oxygen ones.
Newer Roms - the RSK one is nice but the open/close app drawer has an non-standard icon and not easily changeable. All of the other JB ones seem very laggy and sooner or later back to Euroskank or a CM7.2.
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm7&device=bravo
These are obviously my own opinions and others may, and are welcome to disagree
Regards,
Jim

leedroid is one the most stable i have used

I wouldn't really call it the best, but the fastest Sense ROM I have ever had is the one in my signature. I need a fast rom, so this is the best for me.

Recently Founded!
Hi again!
Recently I found this site http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/ . I was testing one of theirs Custom ROM for "ZTE Blade" mobile phone and It was so fast and stable.
Therefore, I will test this ROM http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Bravo_Info for "HTC Desire" too! If until now you did not test these ROMs, Maybe It will be help full!
Note: These ROMs use basic functions and features (To be fast and stable) so to do App 2 SD thing you may need to use this: [SCRIPTS]CronMod-INT2EXT (updated 02/28)
I hope this was helpful!
Good Luck

(ISO) rom recommendations - smooth, stable, memory

Hi,
I'm currently in search of a rom for my girlfriend. I'm anything but up to date with wildfire roms, that's why I'm asking for your recommendations
I'm looking for a stable and smooth user experience, which also offers some more space for apps. Ofc I won't expect any miracles, but she really loves her small device
Are ics roms in general more laggy?
Thanks for anything you can tell me

Yeah I think I will stick with that. On my previous device it was possible to install either another partition table (hboot) or use a2sd to get more space for apps.
there is probably something similar for buzz, isn't it? Gonna read some more topics as soon as I start with this device..
Anyway, thanks for your answers!

For that, you have to partition your sdcard to ext3 and fat32 using CWM
While formatting, your data on sdcard will be cleared so keep a backup of that.
After partition, you can flash a script or install an app like link2sd to move apps to ext3

Why not ext4?
I chose ext4 for my mom's wildfire and it seems to run okay..... so far
I followed a good guide from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125513
It said to chose ext4...
Why would you recommend ext3?

RemPuzzle ROM is the most stable and buttery smooth !! :good:

CM7 is the most stable. I'm currently using CM9.1, has a few bugs but it runs pretty smooth.

[Q] Recommendation for clean, fast and stable ROM

Hi to all.
After all, my Desire is sailing off to my friend.
But, my friend doesn't want 4.2.2., he wants stable ROM. So, I will put back some GB 2.3.X ROM on it.
So, please, recommend me some nice GB ROM. I didn't use them so much, so I don't know which one is good, better or the best.
I will put inside Transcend 4GB Class 4 card and make 512MB 4EXT partition, and Desire will stay on Stock HBOOT. Once I used Aurora ROM and it was OK.
Many thanks.

Oh no. It's another one of those threads. For future posters: Don't flame or rage about your opinion.

This question means nothing to any one user. Every rom has it's strengths and weaknesses. If this thread had stayed open, you would have received many different answers, getting you no further then where you are now.
Please do some research and make a choice by reading and making your own observations.
Thank you.
