[Q] Fast, lightweight ICS ROM - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
since I'm not an expert in ROMs etc. I wanted to ask if there are any fast and lightweight near stock ICS ROMs out there?
I have the MildWild ROM installed for quite a while now and now I thought it's time to migrate.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Well, under ics, marius.a roms based on Qiss are most likely to be stable, Cronmod ICS is quite stable too.
However, I'd advice you to take rather JB rom which work must better (as most ICS rom are discontinued).

Ok, I don't mind JB. I just want some ROM >4.0

I've been using nikez ics rom for a couple of days now. It is very fast, lightweight, takes very little ram and stable.

Then if you don't mind JB, it depends if you prefer AOSP, CM, PA, SlimRoms, MIUI and so..

Try the new pixeldroid carbon ROM its awesome.

I would say "Use p10 Nikez rom, its far more stable than any gingerbread rom" but I don't feel like trolling today lol
Nick's Phone Compiled From Oxy/Roalex With Mods, cm7r2 hboot
Very fast and stable
CM based roms seem to be stable and fast for most users.
Try them if you think "oxygen" is good but a little "naked".
On topic: I'm using MildWild 5.0. Fast, stable, looks good.
Troll-topic: Shaky's Sense 4.0 rom. Most stable I've ever seen.

Nikez?
I have tried Sandvold's ROM (ICS) for a long time but switched to Nikez. Stable, clean and fast.
If you want to try: install i.e. 4EXT as recovery and stick to install-instructions and partitioning.
Also on Nikez site.
Goog luck!
i never knew "Pre Alpha" means....

I think he was talking about nikez's ICS rom. Still not stable.

True, true, you're right: it's pre-alpha. And I was talking about Nikez JB P10.
As a 'normal user' of P10 I am very satisfied with this ROM and I do have some experience with other ROM's (not only Sandvold). Only a few things (thing?) does not work. Also, the forum-thread of Nikez JB P10 reads (almost) same opinions - if you filter the problems with installing 3d party scripts.
Even remarks as 'worht beta' can be read.
My suggestion is user-to-user (SeeZaar), from my point-of-view as a Desire-JB P10 user.
Cheers!

Latest SpazeDog ICS ROM, I'm using it more than month, imo it's fast, smooth and perfect for daily use.
You should try JB/CM10 Elk759`s, I like it.
I think nikez is very brilliant.

for stability and speed i would heartily recommend redux2-31.08-test which is a stripped gingerbread rom which i used exclusively for over a year. it has a wicked pull-down notification bar full of custom shortcuts. very stable despite the test title.
if you're looking for an ICS flavour i'd agree with earlier recommendations for spaze dog. i found it a bit more complicated to install successfully but once up & running it's been faultless.
hope that helps.
Coolexe's Cool Droid v3.
By reading those threads one could believe we have fully working & bug free ICS + JB. :silly:

Best Rom for Daily Use

Just looking to hear what peoples favorite roms are. My brother and I traded phones, he's been using stock and it kept freezing on him. Looking for the best rom for daily use with alot of features
hit me!
I think ice cold sandwich is stable for daily use.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
I currently use Ice Cold Sandwich as well and its great. You might want to also try Existz' AOSP in the Inspire forum. If you want a Sense Roms, then Sabsa Prime and Blackout are pretty good.
I am using jelly time r10.1. I have absolutely no issues with it. It is great. I set my DPI to 160, and it fits the phone excellent.

I use the LeeDroid HD v5.1.1. It's a very stable, smooth, and fast rom.

CodefireX. Tons of settings. Love the thread community. Helpful, polite, on-topic. Thread usually very good about updates on stability of the latest nightly.

I am also finding rom for daily use.
I tried about 20 roms last weekend to find a really stable and all balanced one.
If a rom has many cool feature like newest sense4 but runs laggy. => I won't choose.
If a rom runs super fast and smooth but hotspot not working. => won't choose either.
Here's what I tasted in those 20 roms:
For Jelly Bean:
JellyTime, CodefireX, Unofficial-CM are quite similar. They are all based on CM10.
CodefireX has more tweak function in settings.
But all these rom I got sensor issue.
Accelerometer, magnetic field, orientation sensors are not working for me. (But for some others working great)
So JB rom is still far from stable for me.
For ICS with Sense:
If you want all function working, you can try Nik Project X v4.1. But I feel all sense 4 roms laggy.
If you like a smoother one, you can try Sabsa Bliss v2.0. It's sense 3.6 from Incredible S and suits for DHD, The only bad is wifi hotspot not working.
I think we can have a perfect ICS rom with sense 3.6 in the near future, just looking forward to it
For ICS without sense (AOSP)
IceColdSandwich v8.7 is the best. It's fast, light weight and many tweak settings from AOKP.
If you are not a pefectionism like me...You can choose it.
But I use camera very often. And the Camera in Sense always have better quality than in AOSP.
HTC must do image enhancement in its camera app.
......so...After a long trip to JB and ICS, I go back to GB with sense 3.5 finally......
I choose Runny Xtreme Surprise by XxXPachaXxX.
It's fast enough, many features beyond stock rom, only tiny bugs and good camera
The only bad maybe is it's a GB rom lol...
At last, I still wish HTC will release an official ICS RUU to DHD. Or, at least, an offical kernel source.
Also sabsa blish is very stable but I can't find tweaks for this from.

Hi.. I've been trying the same for weeks .. tried many ROMs but looking for a stable sense 3.6 or 4.0 ROM (ICS). Currently on SABSA PRIME 6.0 .. only issue is its becoming more & more slow with time as I fill it up with apps & stuff .
I actually use camera a LOT so if any 1 can suggest a stable (sense) ROM with "PERFECT" camera .. I wud appreciate that. Doesn't matter if its GB even

IMHO and my experience, every ROM is like that, even stock. Android is like Windows in that regard, more sw you install, slower it gets.... I didn't come to the conclusion if it's because of the widgets or just because of number of installed programs...
Now I need to figure out if I like sense or not I guess. thus far Jelly Bean has been my favorite on my play despite the fact that like half the stuff doesn't work >.< So we'll see...
Thx for all the places to start.
Ice Cold Sandwich is stable ICS but is no longer being actively developed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450962
JellyTime is great for bleeding edge, R17 is stable enough for daily use. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202

I can also confirm that Jellytime R17 is very stable. It has had a few hiccups over the past few releases but it works great now.

Rom Lag!!New rom Advice/feedback

i ahve used ics and jb both
aokp and cm10 lags
so i want to know is any other ics or jb rom which does not hang or lag?
if no which is better acronium gb or cm7???
I can recommend the Xperia Ultimate HD rom in version 2.0.2 from jader, it's running so smooth, unbelieveable for a stock-based rom! You must try it!
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Simple answer: no
The smoothest i can think of would probably be ultimate hd or jj hybrid.
I've tried all the jb roms and, while they can be fast and smooth sometimes, they all suffer from pretty bad lag. atm, yhe best roms seem to be jaders ultimateHD or dinesh's beautiful ICS. I'm using dinesh's rom, but only due to getting my one X in a few days so no point in flashing anything new just now.

[Q] Which is the most stable JB and ICS roms on our Desire?

Been using Marange Miui ICS for over a year and have found it to be extremely stable but feel like its become slow in the latest releases so looking in to anything Stock Android Based Roms, something light like CM10 etc
which Rom would you guy's recommend with the least issues when it comes to either ICS or Jellybean?
I don't use camera so Don't care about that

Really smooth ROM?

I've tried a lot of roms, almost all of them claimed that it's a smooth rom, but most of the times it wasn't smooth at all.
So I'd like to use a really smooth rom. It doesn't have to be based on Android 4.2.2, I'm happy with ICS or even GB if it's really going to be smooth. I almost never use my phone, but when I do, I'd like it to be fast.
Latest Jelly King. It's smooth and quick as hell.

If you like smooth roms without bugs, you can try the latest cm7 by crossfire77. If you want the latest cm10.1 features, you could try the cm10.1 by JDevs both roms are nearly bugfree and smooth
