[Q] Which ICS ROM is the best?

And by that I mean most advanced. I'm the Sense loving guy, but I've heard a lot of good things about ICS. I'd like to try it out, but honestly I can't figure out which of the few existing ROMs to choose. I'm aware of that most of them are still in the alpha-beta phase, but I hoped someone could help me pick one. Or is it better to just wait for Sense 3.6 ROM?

I can vouch for the Sandvold ICS (Bet 0.3.6). I have been running it on my Desire for several days now. If you use Titanium Backup, be careful restoring too much of the system data (I successfully restored the SMS/MMS stuff, but didn't bother with anything else). I also had to restore my APN settings to default to get my mobile data to work (Settings->More->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names->Menu->Reset to default).
I can also confirm that partictioning your SD card to provide an sd-ext works along with a2sd (including the Dalvik Cache) - the the Desire has a ridiculously small amount of internal ram.
Haven't had any issues at all.

i can recommand BCM b0.3.3 (Bravo CM9) rom which you find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
using it for days now and semms to be very stable. i came from the sandvold rom. in my opinion the cm9 rom is a bit faster than the sandvold rom.
i deleted some apps to fit the rom in data++ hboot. but i think app2sd works fine with this rom

i'm using BCM too for a while now, very stable.
I have had a strange wifi problem (the wifi router on chanel 13 hasn't been seen by phone, the one on chanel 7 without problem) fixed with wifixmanager.
In my opinion, Sense is not needed dead freight.

Chromium v1.5 ICS custom rom with a lot of tweaks and much more,fast and stable.
Sent from my HTC Desire MIUI using XDA Premium

I've tried both Sandvold an BCM, and my favorite is BCM. Both roms works well on my phone, but I had an issue with the sound quality on Sandvolds rom when playing music. I also like some of the features that CM brings, but that is my personal opinion. Both roms are stable on my phone.

I only tried Sandvolds Rom until now but maybe Im going to try BCM

That looks interesting I'm getting my hands on a Desire phone that I will setup for my gf. Can't you make a thread here on XDA for the VQ on the Desire in English as my polish is non existent

There are more feedback between Sandvod and BCM ?

BCM-b0.3.4
Now i have an GPS issue, everything else seems to run without problem, or better, like a charm
I had this GPS issue before, than, after an update, it was gone, now it's back.
"stop-and-go" gps, reception every some seconds.

Hello!
I have installed the BCM b0.3.4 today. Although it makes a good impression, it seems to drain the battery. No idea what it is about, but the phone is hot and its CPU work with its maximum frequency.
Best regards!

New Sandvold build is the tits, I'm surprised at how far they've come, tried the bcm build as per recommendation of people here but battery died way too fast and wasn't as stable.

I am also on Sandvold. I have it running for 2 days now and haven't come across a single bug until now.
At first it was very slow and laggy, but after 2 hours or so (I really don't know why. 2 hours for everything loading at first boot?) it became all smooth.
The only thing that REALLY REALLY annoys me is that I am stuck with 5 homescreens, when I only need 2 or 3.
ATTENTION!
Sandvold's ROM came with data roaming enabled per default!
If you live close to the border you should check that setting before entering your SIM card PIN.

I've tried them both. Sandvod's version is much better, no bugs for me so far

I've been using Sandvold's rom for a while now. Newest version is excellent. Plus the gallery actually works with it!
Also you can change the battery indicator from this thread. I'm currently using v.4.

Now i'm using Miui-2.1.27 ICS, and it works very well . I like so much Miui customisation

Hello!
I found a serious bug: Obviously the VPN via IPSEC/L2TDP is broken in all Android 4-versions. For me this is a no-go and I reverted back to CM 7.

Hey,
I've been reading xda for quite a while now and I thought I would register and say hey. Then once I have done 10 posts, start contributing.
I have a 2 year old HTC desire, rooted, stock HBOOT, S-off.
I originally rooted so that I could save apps to the SD card (fed up of not enough space)
however I finally plucked up the courage to flash a new rom and I haven't looked back!
Roms tried so far:
Sandvold 0.18.2.1 (and a few earlier revisions)
Runny Rom 7.0.2
MIUI (short lived - missed the app drawer)
JB Paranoid Hybrid UI
HTC Desire AOKP Milestone 6
Unofficial AOKP Jelly Bean v1.4 - my personal favorite so far although a few niggles which mean I can't use it as my everyday rom. (niggles I would like to help out with, when I have my 10 posts)
Current:
Insert coin rom A2SD+ stable v1.14 - purely because of the stability and lack of niggles.
I'm stuck with my Desire until my contract renewal (May 2013). and then I will be upgrading (possibly a Nexus, maybe something else). Until then I will be milking my desire for all its worth with new roms just to keep my interest in it.
I really like what you guys are doing here and the developers are incredible. I would like to help where I can, but being a noob and highly de-motivated by the instructional video means I might need help helping you....
Thats about it,
Thanks

Hey there.
You should try lee droid's and cool's.

Hey, I had a look at leedroid and cool, and I might give them a go, but they don't seem too different to the insertcoin Rom I'm using at the moment, plus I like the plain sense3 lockscreen
I'm more excited about finding a jellybean or ics Rom that is stable and doesnt tell me that 'my device is not compatible' with my Natwest app or vouchercloud

Hey,
Which Runnymede rom do you mean?
Cool 3D?
Runnymedemod007?
Runnymede AOI?
etc,
I have tried Runny Rom, and I agree it is stable, but it was also quite slow and jumpy for me, I don't know if I was using the right Kernel, but I think I was. I even OC'd to 1132 MHz, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

I'm now trying runnymede aio as suggested and so far I'm quite impressed, seems to be stable and smooth, except the weather, but its livable with.

Might want to try Paranoid Android 4.11 Jelly Bean. From my experience it's the most stable Jelly Bean rom for Desire. The currently most stable ICS is this.

I personally would not recommend any ics/jb rom for everyday use.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2

Well, yeah, ICS/JB roms are not too stable, but they are gradually getting better and better. I haven't had any major problems with any of the roms, except some occassional reboots or freezes - so far zero of them with this rom. And to be honest, I'd say that the ICS/Jellybean features and HWA are worth some discomfort. If you need to use the phone for work I wouldn't suggest them too much. But if your phone is mostly a "toy"/tinkering machine, go for it.
Also just noticed that OP had already tested the Paranoid Android JB rom... My bad. No problems for me with it so far. I didn't even know that my Desire could be this smooth :l.

I agree, I have tried most of the ics/jb roms now, and for a daily Rom I would stick with gingerbread, I'm getting back to sense at the moment, seriously considering a oneX+ when I can upgrade, although the Motorola maxx HD looks promising...

[Q] Bluetooth handsfree profile not working on ICS or above

I'm trying to give my old Desire (GSM) to my mother as her first smartphone, but I ran into some trouble with her Bluetooth car-kit.
When I scan for Bluetooth devices on any other phone, I see that the Desire is not reported as a phone (while other phones are).
This only happens on ROMs for Android 4 or above (although I didn't test 3).
What I tried:
Stock (2.3) worked
CM7 (2.3) worked
AOKP (4.0) did not work
ICS for Desire (from sandvold) (4.0) did not work
COS Bravo ICS (4.0) did not work
This led me to believe that this was an issue with Android 4.0, so now I'm looking for any pointers that can help me fix this.
I could not find any similar problems, but I guess the Desire is kind of old now and Bluetooth is less used than it was.
Does anyone here have any ideas?
Greatly appreciated, thanks for your attention.

Am I the only one with Bluetooth peril?

Stock sense 2.1 or 3.5. If you don't like sense then WildChild 3.3 is best. It has amazing performance too.

thank you bro, i dont like sense, i will try wildchild 3.3 but waitin for your update to fix mobile network for epic rom miui based on cm7.2. it was the best for me but i dont use for only one reason that is network problem. i will try wildcihld but still will be waiting for your miui v3 with network fix

i have tried wildchild 3.3 its well but i had keyboard problem. when i touch any writeable screen, not opening keyboard, tried to flash stock keyboard same problem existed again. i'm turnin back to stock again..

This one looks promising: Marvellous CM10
However I don't know if it is overclock-able. I'm always weary of overclocking phones as they don't have that much heat dissipation to work with.

[Q] Camera for ics info

Hi there... Time for changing the rom again.
I've been using MildWild CM-8.0 JG Stable for some months now, and it was good, but old. I also tried other Oxygen roms long ago... and even a 4.0 from VJ.
But I think every 4.0 rom doesn't record video, and has lots of troubles with the camera, not for video just for taking pictures.
So my question is... how is the camera topic for ICS going? any progress?
I find it weird that other devices like galaxy mini can have 4.0 roms though they have worst hardware than desire.
Any one that has a good and fast app for taking pictures / record video that actually works in 4.0?
Android 2.3.7 seems so old now... do you guys advice any rom for 4.0 or 2.3.7?
Thx.

Most 4.x Roms have about the same camera capabilities. Try VJ's roms, or nikez. I have heard good things about both.
