Hi, i was thinking to downloaded one of the sense 8 roms, since im a bit bored with stock rom, but i need your suggestions, cuz im not going to try all of them , so which one you guys think I should try ? :fingers-crossed:
What do you mean by "near to stock"? Sense 8 doesn't exist for this device, its ported from the HTC 10. So taking it literally, none of the Sense 8 ROMs for the M8 are anything close to stock. Aside from that, the ROM threads are mostly pretty clear on what mods (in addition to porting Sense 8) have been applied. As its not clear what you want or don't want; it may be best for you to just read the threads and decide for yourself what to flash.

Hi all, i have been searching for a while and cant seem to find my answer so hopefully someone can help. I have rescently rooted my HTC Desire and installed one of the roms off here (Psychosis 5.0) it has installed fine except i no longer have the android market on my phone, i am running 2.1 0.83. Can someone please tell me how to get it back?
Many thanks.
You can try to flash a stand alone new market or Gapps, but I think it's better to just flash a up to date rom.
Since Psychosis 5.0 is based of a old Leedroid rom I would suggest you install the newest Leedroid or find something else you like.
Ah ok pal, thanks for the help i will find a different rom
Any advice as to what rom to flash?
Depends on what you want, look around in development and this thread. See if anything there strikes your interest.
If you have no idea and what to stay as close to stock as possible but with the benefits of custom roms I would suggest to install Leedroid
If wanna have everything working and want to stay as close as to stock as said before than Leedroids ROM is the one for you.
If you like speed and no snick snack and no Sense, I want to suggest DeFrost 6.1a. See the rest Non-Sense ROM too.
If you like extra snick snack and the new Sense, try one of the DHD or Z ported ROM. I am currently using InsertCoin 1.8f.
If you are and advance user and like to experiment things, try one of the experimental Gingerbread (2.3) ROMs.
If you like to have something iPhone alike, try one of the MIUI.
Note:
For newbies, please stay away first from any Data2SD and Data2Whatever or any Gingerbread ROMs at the moment.
Stick with App2SD, learn more first!
I don't know how to get market back, but I also recommend Leedroid, AuraxTSense, or ReflexTSense. All good ROM's, in my opinion...
Hi,
i just got a Desire ,and im gonna root it put on a new rom...but i see in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328 ,that there are a whole lot of roms and was wondering what is the diff between them? I mean to go through all the faq of those roms would take all day,so plz help ? so basically im looking for a ROM suggestion (and an explanation for it)
There are few differences between each other in each section. Things like some have A2SD, some have DATA2SD and so on. Some are faster, some are smoother. To be honest, if you know what you want then just try each rom from that section. A rom is a personal preference. If you go for Non-Sense/Gingerbread, try Oxygen or CyanogenMod. Sense roms, I see a lot of people going for LeeDroid. Sense HD, I tried Cool-z. Try them out.
ohhh my godddddddddd.. another one eh.. and now not only you are asking for our opinion to base yours upon, but also telling us that you'd rather waste our time to save yours.. by the way, there is a forum search button, do lean to use it. Much apprechiated.
Feel free to troll away
Ive just got a HTC Desire GSM (from HTC Magic) and tried a number of Desire ROMS, incl Gingerbread, CM nightly, Oxygen, DHD ROMS. I was never a big HTC SENSE Fan, but I loaded this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818392 and so far stuck with it. I generally change ROMS ever 2 - 3 days, but this one has stuck. Its not lighting quick, but fully featured and very polished.
disclaimer - Its my opinion only and as other will tell you, flashing ROM is a personal choice. - cheers P
Tnx jelly and pp think ill try a rom per catagery
Is there a way to take the Rom I'm using and upgrade the sense to 3.0 myself?
Hey,
I am sorry to say this but no, rom building is not an easy thing to do you need the right tools and knowledge to put it together and different versions of sense run completely different and if you just try to change the files within the system they most likely will not be compatible and it will just fc! Best thing to do is just flash a sense 3.0 rom!
Being that it seems to me that you're interested in starting developing Roms why don't you start with this HERE and read thru all the guides and I hope you're on your way.
with repect to all rom developers... didnt mean to compare all your rom
i'd like to try all roms, ..just wondering how the newbies decide which rom you will go for
for example i will choose
1. roms which has the most pages of comment
2. the rom that shows highest benchmarks result
3. old chef from old mobile
4. updated frequency , many version, many fix ...
becuase every on of them seem to be very nice & with hard work... difficult to decide
I will fix your post for you due to showing noobiness and such.
1. No one does that, thats stupid
2. Benchmark results can be faked very easily.
3. True, but only if you liked his work before, you will like his work now. But if you seen that chef which didn't make such a good ROM before, I wouldn't go for them.
4. Doesn't matter if its updated or not, you're supposed to find what is best for you and your country's networks. Also most updated doesn't mean its the best.
BUT...
I'll answer them after being such a douche
I would go for these if I wanted the Sense UI:
Android Revolution HD or LeeDroid OneXtreme
If I wanted a Sense-less UI, I would go for these:
eXoDiZeD or CyanogenMod 9
In XDA, no one asks those questions, we try out what fits us best and what doesn't
IMO I try out all the ROMs .. Because each developer has his own set of tweaks included. We have some great developers who have amazing ROMs. To be honest it's more personal decision. I suggest you try out reach ROM and stick with the one you like the most. Personally i'm waiting for AOSP or CM ROM I hate Sense.
I've just bought my new HTC one x, and after unlocking bootloader and flashing a CWM, I've looked for a custom Rom but we have too many cRoms in our development section!!! First I flashed mike's android revolution, because I used it on my transformer and I wanted to check it on my phone, but I didn't enjoy it at all. So I flashed leeDroid cRom, and I love it!! I'm going to flash a senseless Rom now, wich one do you prefere?
i haven't flashed custom room yet. only update 1.28 stock. i might wait for cm9. or deciding to go for Romaur which had high benchmark result even the above post said its easy to fake at least some thing to look at rather than the feeling. or go for insert coin coz seen someone posted this rom is the best .. like going oversea wanna have good lunch and chose by looking to where people goes

Hi Folks,
sneaking around all the Forums and Threads about HTC-Desire I came to the conclusion that I urgently need a new ROM on my smartphone. OK, to be honest, it is more-or-less because off this permanent message that my memory is running low.
So I started to gain knowledge about 'root', 'S-Off', 'HBoot', 'Recovery' and all that stuff. It took a while by I managed to 'root' my Desire without any issue.
Bye the way I learned a complete new language and had to jump between several threads to understand all these abbreviations.
Now I struggle with myself as I am not able to decide on which ROM to choose. My favorites are MIUI and Oxygen. But, what confuses me most are the different versions of each ROM. Yes, I read all the threads of most every single ROM but that made the decision not easier.
Is there someone around who can provide some experience with MIUI and/or Oxygen ROMs.
What I really looking for is a nice looking, state-of-the-art, stable and fast ROM as I am not of that kind to flash updates every day.
Did I ever mentioned that my grandchild is laughing at me, so please help me proof that even someone not familiar with all that new stuff will be able to flash a new ROM.
Cheers !!
My suggestion for MIUI is this one:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/archived-miui-versions-desire-gb.16551/
It's stock version from MIUI England, without many modifications. You can also check out on MIUI Germany site.
In my signature you have something I made that's based on CM7 with just a few mods.
I'm using the MIUI ROM too, the response I get is way faster than the stock HTC rom. Although it's a shame that development stopped at GB (I really want the scrollable widget in ICS), but some of the guys here are working on ICS/JB ports, might jump onto one of those when they mature.
