I'm proud owner of both hTC Desire and hTC One V. I rooted and s-offed Desire some time ago, tried variety of ROMs and currently using it as daily driver with Evervolvs KitKat nightly installed.
I bought HOV as a replacement for my old Desire and was badly suprised when HOV started to lag. Placing a call or starting an SMS sometimes takes up to 2 minutes. Using it on daily basis is near to imposible. I didn't think of rooting HOV since I still have warranty. Now I changed my mind, which brings me to my question.
Should I go with that and root, etc. , or should I stick with Desire, which currently works more fluid than HOV? Will HOV get that much better with custom ROM, or should I just sell it and forget it? Any opinion is appreciated. Thanks.

HOV is better with a custom ROM.. the stock One V ROM is slow at times... it's one of the reasons why I rooted
@MameTozhio has right. My One V was really slow and I rooted it when it has 1 year and 3 months. Now this phone is really smooth and really fast but don't use ROMs like mySensev because it's like stock slow but really pretty(animations etc, full sense)

The problem with the One V is ram. You can be using something like slim bean completely stripped down to the bare minimum of system applications and data apps and it still fails on you. Just use the stock browser on one or two pages and the entire device will freeze up requiring a reboot. Horrible. In truth we need a way to move many apps out of the system partition to either true sd or at the very least to the data partition. And I do not suggest anyone purchase virgin mobiles version of the htc desire unless you want the same issues again. Best off buying something else.

But, as I understand, I can use some kind of SD-EXT to expand RAM? Or am I wrong? On Desire i have a2sd script and it is working like a charm..

I want to try to determine what is the best rom 2.09 Froyo - based for HTC Desire.
In the last week I've tried a large number of ROMs. I've really liked 2 of these:
- Roufianos V6 (It's the one that I'm using at the moment)
- OpenDesire 3.0.4 (I know that the 3.0.5 is out but I haven't tried it yet)
Obviously there are many other excellent rom but I haven't got the time to try them, such as:
- Alex V1.1 official OTA cooked by Paul from MoDaCo (I've not tried it yet but I thing it is good)
- Lambros Custom Rom r3.1 --- I've tried it: in my opinion it's the best. Very fast, stable, no problem, no crashes. The chef always helps you and give you what you ask him! Fantastic! (link hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745447 )
- Pays-ROM
- Others....
Well, I don't know what is better.... can you help me choosing a ROM please?
If you thing that there are better ROMs instead of the ones that I've written, please tell me about them.
Thanks to all.

IMO this comes down to the "SENSE UI",
you wanna have SENSE and all the HTC bells and whistles? LeeDroid 1.8 or Neophyte NextSense 4.0
you don´t give a damn about SENSE (like me)? OpenDesire 3.0.5 is just AWESOME.
Both options are really good but it´s a question of personal preference I think.

has Leedroid gotten rid of the SD card bug now? i found a lot of bugs with 1.7 in fact i would go as far to say it was the worst rom i have tried (and i have flashed nearly all within the last 2 weeks.
i use neophyte nextsense aswell its v good. i haven't used a non-sense rom since the defrost one which was using the nexus froyo (back in june i think).
however from looking at the 'post your screenshots' thread in the themes and apps section i'm tempted to go back to non-sense as some of the roms and mods make it look really cool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665991&page=106
what does everyone think is the coolest / sexiest looking setup?
Neophyte 1.6. You will not go wrong. If you think those other roms are good, you will ejaculate in your pants with a neo Rom. I think that first neophyte Rom comes down to a fluke of nature. His latest Rom nextsense is good and I enjoy playing. But the occasional bug. Still better than anything else I believe.
I prefer modaco official version.
Neophyte 1.6 as said. You will not find a more stable or better ROM imo.
why don't you give a go on my rom....i saw you haven't mentioned it....
the latest r3.1 version is as stable a rom can be and i have 2 versions.....one if you want all the HTC apps and one with HTC Sense but without the apps, just launcher, widgets and main apps (people,dialer,mail, calendar)

What about the battery? How often do you have to charge the phone? In every rom I've tried the battery sucks!
as for the battery i think you can't compare it just right when you flash the rom....myself i do one full charging cycle and then rate a rom's battery life in order to get the full idea....
flash the rom, charge it till 100% (unplug before discharge) and then see how it does

hi lambrospower. I am just downloading your rom and will give it a try mate. Going back to your battery comment, this is a question that i have been thinking about for some time, but never got around to asking anyone, i hope you may know the answer for me? Since i have had my desire (3 months) the only way that i have ever charged it is with USB. Maybe once i have done a full charge with the 240v adaptor, the rest of the time it is plugged into my PC either charging or as a disk drive, my question is, will that make a difference to my overall battery performance? because i havent been charging it with the mains adaptor will my battery be "weaker" than a person that has always used the in-wall charger? I seem to get really bad battery life with most roms that i have tried (and believe me, i have tried a lot!!) yesterday i went out for a few hours, around 3 hours, battery was at 100% when i left, 3 hours later 55%!! now in my eyes that is a hell of a lot of decrease...... This was with NeYophyTeNexTSense rom (but i cant fault NeYo, he is a good chef, hats off to the lad, this is why i think its me thats either doing something wrong (settings) or it is in fact a battery problem??
Hi guys, I really like OpenDesire, but it's stock Google ROM (or based thereon) so it's got no FM Radio functionality. A question to all users of stock ROMs: how do you guys cope with the absence of an FM Radio knowing that hardware-wise your Desire supports it but the software does not have it? As for me personally, I've been tilting back and forth between OpenDesire-like ROMs and SenseUI-like ROMs, and it's still bugs me. On the one hand, I love the stock ROM for its cleanliness and overall looks (without Sense bells & whistles), but that I don't have the FM radio keeps bugging me like hell. Can anyone share their experiences?
Hi,
I am in the fortunate situation that I can pick out any cell phone that I Want. The Phone I have as of today is a HTC Desire.
Before I choose out a phone I wonder if there are any Custom ROM that can compare with the "clean, smooth and fast" Oxygen Room by AdamG for Desire HD?
the Desire HD is the Desire much improved, but we don't have anything as clean as the oxygen rom in development yet, best you can do is CM6
i'm on the official sense rooted + buzz kernel 1.0.6 and its running like a dream
What is the big improvement? "Start-up from hibernating" ?
Isnt the big improvements software-wise, and not hardware?
4.3 inch screen very close to the surface, despite not being either IPS or Amoled but its just beautiful, simply use a classic desire after the DHD and you will understand
much better soft keys instead of hard to press hard keys
beautiful unibody design
50% more RAM
more efficient 2nd gen snapdragon, OCable to 1.5GHz
internal storage problem gone for good, you have around 1GB free internaly, you dont see a mention of A2SD or Data2sd around here
a GPU that can handle 800x480 games at last, runs quake2 at 60fps makes a laugh out of the old one
Genuine Four Point Multi-touch sensor, you will never loose a reckless racing match because the touch gone crazy and you wont have to explain it to your friends
better camera and flash, check here Desire HD Camera guide
all you need to do is make sure you can handle the size plus weight, also make sure the unit you purchase is clean of factory defects, more info here Compilation of DHD ISSUES
as for the battery, custom kernels and calibration will solve that for you
more info here Would you buy Desire or Desire HD?
any other question and it will be like asking me to buy it for your just kidding
good luck

Hi,
thank you for your reply
I have tried out a HD, but only with HTC Official Rom - and that ROM is lagging!
Great screen, yes ;-)
What do you mean about the problem with internal storage? Is the install location = SD as default, or is the internal storage expanded?
You may want to consider the battery before you buy, I tried every mod/kernel/custom rom/ 2g ect ect and the battery is terrible..1250mah is the reason why not matter how you look at it...When your out all day and some of the night without a charger then the phone becomes useless..
The main reason I sold mine, if that doesn't bother you then its a great phone..
Hd recording is pretty bad too, it becomes worse when compared to the SGS...a big difference..

Rooting the phone and installing the buzz kernel will eliminate lag in the stock rom. It will also improve battery life.
Internal storage is 1.5gb, which leaves about 1gb for apps, rest if for the rom.
If after the new kernel you find it still too slow you can try cyanogen mod. Its very fast and stable although battery life is a little less than stock rom for some people.
Sent with Christmas cheer.
the official rom lags because of the stupid /init bug, easily solved by enabling usb debugging mode check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826507
as an added speed i'm running Buzz kernel v1.0.6 with interactive governor and it never lags even if i try check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880573
HD recording is not bad as long as you learn how to adjust the settings, you can check the info in my camera guide
as for storage i meant with the classic desire you have very little 150MB internal storage, you have around 1GB with the DHD

Its not in the same league as the SGS...that goes for sound quality too..having had both phones and comparing them there is a big difference.

I just bought the SGS2, and my girlfriend is getting my old HTC Desire.
She tried it for a week, with Oxygen ROM and while generally happy with it, she was underwhelmed and annoyed with a few of the more obvious warts of stock android 2.3. The crappy dialer and the crappy keyboard, to name a few.
I then installed a lot of GO apps on it, GO Launcher EX, GO Dialer, GO Widget etc.
While these are in some respects better, they have other issues.
I am now considering if a ROM with Sense would be a good compromise for her. I will not give her the latest stock 2.2 ROM from HTC, I want her to have 2.3. So it would have to be a 2.3 ROM with Sense on it. And I don't even know which version of Sense. I have only really worked with the one in the stock 2.2 ROM from HTC. I think it is Sense 1.9?
So, can you guys recommend a 2.3 ROM with Sense or a 2.3 ROM and some good core apps (dialer, keyboard, sms/texting etc.) that is girlfriend-friendly?
Thanks in advance
I'd recommend one with the Sense 3.0.

why you pointing to external link when we have a development section full of nice a great ROMs?
I would recommend a ROM with Sense 2.1/3.0 (Hybrid) because the Sense 3.5/3.0 ROMs are a bit too much sometimes for the Desire as I read and heard (in case of lags and so).
But Runnymede is recommended very often.
So I would go with Revolution or InsertCoin which I self am using since a few months and i'm quite happy with it.

And I really dont get the point why you always have to bash the other Roms except Supernova's. Supernovas Rom sure is great but there also other good ROMs (even with Sense 3.0/3.5). They are maybe that not stable and so on but the Users also have different preferences. For some eye-candy is the most important feature, for other it is stability and speed.

Not that I don't bash just supernova, I don't bash either of the Sense 1.9 roms, aosp roms, or even roms which are broken and are advertised as such.
And I have no beef with roms or their developers, but with idiots that turn every rom recommendation thread into this. OK, you're free to do whatever you want, but you can't come and write "Sense 3.5/ICS :drool:, this, this, this and this doesn't work, but it's perfect".
As far as I'm concerned, the scale goes like this: unusable - bad - average - good - perfect. I hope meaning of perfect is self explanatory?
If the op states that he is giving away his phone, Sense 3.5 roms don't have nothing to look for here. Giving away phone with some of it's features severely limited is insanity.
It is you Sense 3.5 users who mixed up priorities here, not I. If the thread was titled "most eyecandy" rom I'd be silent.

I wasn't giving the OP a recommendation for a Sense 3.0/3.5-ROM, I was recommending him a Hybrid (2.1/3.0). And this I can do with pure conscience because the ROM I'm using right now (InsertCoin) is way faster than the Stock-ROM that was originally on the Desire and i havent experienced anything thats not working yet (no reboots, no failures, ... everything is working fine).
Yeah, maybe the Sense-ROMs you are not bashing are a bit faster than the ISC and Revolution Hybrids but there you have an uglier ui, so you have to balance.
Maybe you should testing a Hybrid for yourself because now you are just assuming things.

I want her to have 2.3, and there is no good official 2.3 ROM from HTC. So I guess I might as well try a girlfriend-friendly 2.3 ROM, preferably one that "just works" and that I don't have to help her with a million times. If you can recommend such a ROM, it would be great.
I agree with you that eye candy is not the most important thing here. Usability and stability is. Unfortunately, stock android have usability issues with simple things such as the dialer and the keyboard. And Android 2.3 is a must.
I will never buy her an iPhone, so that's not an option.

Who told you that? You have the one in my sig, baadnwz made his rooted stock GB rom and teppic74 has his.
Hey guys.. I've been a One X owner for a while now.. About a month or two. So far I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed ARHD 6.0.0 but im still sort of unhappy about how it works. Multitasking is still horrible and i know that's how its designed by HTC but I am a heavy multitasker and i cant handle that, plus my data limit is 1GB and constantly redrawing webpages on chrome eats my data.
So now im wondering what my options are... If I should leave sense 4.0 out completely. Update to ARHD 7..go CM9... Try Pokemon rom. Idk.
The issues I need sorted out are
1. Multitasking fixed
2. Camera noise/compression MUCH reduced (also the front cam is horrible compared to the S3, if that can be fixed)
3. Battery life. Recently I have no idea why I cant get more than 2-3 hours screen time during the day.. When using the came I barely get 2 hours. This is VERY inconvenient.
4. I prefer the stock ICS switcher. Not HTC's. Not a huge issue though.
So from you guys experiences, whats the best rom to go with? The MOST important thing is the multitasking and battery. Why I haven't been trying roms myself is because I am very very scared to flash again...
Thanks in advance for any input.. Ive done all the searching I can but id really like some advice.. System tuners memory values doesn't do it for me..
Thanks again!

Hey guys.. I've been a One X owner for a while now.. About a month or two. So far I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed ARHD 6.0.0 but im still sort of unhappy about how it works. Multitasking is still horrible and i know that's how its designed by HTC but I am a heavy multitasker and i cant handle that, plus my data limit is 1GB and constantly redrawing webpages on chrome eats my data.
So now im wondering what my options are... If I should leave sense 4.0 out completely. Update to ARHD 7..go CM9... Try Pokemon rom. Idk.
The issues I need sorted out are
1. Multitasking fixed
2. Camera noise/compression MUCH reduced (also the front cam is horrible compared to the S3, if that can be fixed)
3. Battery life. Recently I have no idea why I cant get more than 2-3 hours screen time during the day.. When using the came I barely get 2 hours. This is VERY inconvenient.
4. I prefer the stock ICS switcher. Not HTC's. Not a huge issue though.
So from you guys experiences, whats the best rom to go with? The MOST important thing is the multitasking and battery. Why I haven't been trying roms myself is because I am very very scared to flash again...
Thanks in advance for any input.. Ive done all the searching I can but id really like some advice.. System tuners memory values doesn't do it for me..
Thanks again!

I need to bug you on this. Works how well on one x?
To OP. Its best to read up on the dev forum and try out different roms every 2 days til you know where you want to stay imho.
Kernels and scripts will help you out as well as stated above

I know, typical question, but I haven't been keeping up with roms much for the past year or so. I have an old rooted HTC Desire and I thought I might as well give it some life. My primary concern is speed as the title suggests, I'm looking for the rom that gives the smoothest and snappiest experience possible, that is, the least amount of lag and highest frame rate that one can possibly squeeze out of the device, don't care what version of android it is and what features does it have, as long as it's crazy fast and stable enough to be a daily driver. What I should I be looking into? Cyanogen? Oxygen? some jelly bean rom?
Flashing a rom, partitioning the sd card, customizing it and install all the esential apps takes time, so I would rather do this once instead of trying a few roms and see what sticks, hence the question. Thanks in advance
I would say CM10 is the fastest out there for your Desire. I may not have an actual Desire but the phone I have, the HTC One V is almost identical specs wise to your desire and CM10 blows any ROM I've seen out of the water. Their Trebuchet launcher works hand in hand with project butter and even with my phone's ageing Adreno 205, it is much smoother than my friend's Galaxy S3 running Jellybean Touch wiz.

Well, HTC one v isn't the desire. Cm10 kind of sucks on the desire in terms of speed.
Any GB based ROM should be running smooth and snappy. My personal favorite is Cool Droid V3.
I am using Nikez JB 4.2.2. in my signature. Does the job fine for me!

Hi,
I used Mildwild 5.0 during more than 1 year, and all was smooth, fast, and stable.
Only problem i had was sometimes loosing data when battery low. (ok after reboot but a bit annoying).
Now testing 4.0.4 from Marius.a, quite satisfying even if it's only in English or Chinese (quite smooth), main functions work (a few bugs sometimes but nothing really bad).
The thing is it's the only 4.x with camera recording working fine, and i need this so...
Regards
