But you will have to pay for it!
I mean in term OS stability, speed, reliable day to use. The one with the least problems or bugs.
In a nutshell, the one best closest to an original rom

I'm also wondering about that. Still haven't taken the plunge from stock HTC Android 2.1 ROM yet...
Considering the ROMs posted here from LeeDroid, SanderX and fridlack. Or maybe the "original" DJ DROID one... (which I just read is getting an update very soon)
I'm also looking for something reliable and not too modified/customized.
Btw, do they all include a swedish language option?
Cheers!
I've found Pays-rom to be quite good, although wouldn't mind giving Modaco a go again.
Would say atm leedroids Rom is. Ity is very stable and I am yet to have a fc or any other real problem with it. The Rom has been out for nearly 24hrs and bar a few teething problems on the install this should be fixed with ver 1.3.

You won't go far wrong with Paul's ROMs at Modaco (only the kitchen's paid by the way - he usually releases "pre-baked" versions free) but if I were you I'd go for DeVillain if you want a SENSE ROM or DeFroST/Open Desire for a vanilla ROM.
Paul's Modaco Rom are the best !!!!
do you really have to pay for Paul's Modaco ROMs ?
They seem to freely available at their forum . . .

What am i missing here ?
You have to pay if you want to use his rom-kitchen, where you can choose what app and what function goes into your personal rom, based on Pauls rom.
The free ones are "prebaked" by Paul.
I'm using VilliansRom and to be honest, It is very polished for a first release.
Only thing I don't like is the Market place is 2.1 not 2.2. however Flash 10.1 has been preinstalled. so it's not really an issue.
Speed is excellent, not sure if Defrost is quicker, but there is no lag.
Stability is very good, no FC yet
Battery life, no idea at the moment.
Widgets all working as far as I can tell.
leedroid vs devillain vs paul's rom (prebaked roms not yet alvailable)?
What do you choose? I was thinking to try it this weekend
I'm running DeVillain's ROM at the moment and it is very nice, but to me there just doesn't seem to be the community support behind it, e.g. the % and ring battery mod.
I'm about to try out LeeDrOiD's ROM.
Hello everyone!
I am new to android platform, and those days i was reading a lot about custom ROM's. Today i bought new HTC Desire, which comes with Android 2.1. I want to install some custom ROM, which is on Android 2.2. I readed a lot about openDesire, and i want to ask you, can you tell me which ROM is the best?
2.1. on my phone is fast, but i watched some videos on youtube, that is running 2.2, and it seems a lot faster than 2.1.
Btw i would like that custom ROM have HTC Sense.
Thanks!
First of all, OpenDesire doesn't have Sense. There really is no "best" rom. I like Pinky's rom, but others prefer LeeDroid or even different ones. There are a lot of roms with Sense and most are pretty good.

For me it has to be Pirate Rum rom (download through Rom manager). It has virtually no bugs I can see and a great battery life. A very understated rom in my opinion.

The best ROM ever !!! Arrr! )
There is no BEST ROM, only the MOST COMFORTABLE ROM for yourself
Undisputed best ROM for HTC Desire is MiUi
Over last year or more, I have tried several custom ROMs for HTC Desire, from LeeDroid, Cyanogen, ownhere, NeoPhyte and few others, but since I came across MiUi, I have not looked for anything else because this just simply is the BEST ROM for HTC Desire.
Have a look at it for yourself -
miui-au.com
Strange that Oxygen has not been mentioned in this thread, it is a really great stable ROM (Battery consumption is good too).
I suggest you to give a try on it.
Note that for the moment the camera recording is not working (have a look at the first 2 posts in the oxygen thread).
I really like the Cyanogenmod 7 (build 25)
Works really good so far.

I find that Oxygen isn't that stable at all or fast and a little laggy. No idea if it's just my phone but it seems that way with they others as well. I am going to try it again tonight to see if it has been improved since the last time I used it.
MIUI-Au is an extremely fast rom, faster than the other Froyo roms. I guess selecting a rom for yourself you need to test them and see which you like.

all ginger roms will remain laggy until right drivers come in.
who ever says its not lagging is blind or is used to lag by using sense rom
I used to use miui, then went to lee droid, then back to miui. I think I have.found perfection in insert coin by baad newz. Best battery for a sense based rom.
Just remembered: used alex hd also for a while but there were way too many lags after a few days. The rom might be in its infancy then
I am using NeoPhyTe Mod (1.8) and this fits the best to my needs and my taste...
I've said it before numerous times here, that I haven't had a very pleasurable experience with Gingerbread ROMs (i.e. those built off CM7 source). Every GB ROM I've tried has had their good and bad points, but many of those bad points span across them all since they're built off CM7. Not being able to play videos in portrait mode, Gmail not handling text properly in its margins, etc etc keeps me going back to ROMs built off Froyo. Specifically, I'm thoroughly enjoying Virtuous 1.0.1 (built on HTC Sense), as everything works perfectly in it.
Sadly, no one is making ROMs built off Froyo anymore. If you look back at any of the threads starting with [ROM], you'll notice there aren't many that don't have either "gingerbread" or "CM7" in their titles. ROMs that were built using Froyo have dead links or aren't supported by the developers anymore, so if you have questions or want to report an issue you can't. I wish I had the skills to develop my own ROMs for G2 owners, but I'm just not smart enough nor do I have free time to try learning how to do that. Are there any devs here who would consider building some Froyo ROMs? I know there are still some out there that we could use (Villision by TeamVillain, CM 6.1.1, etc), but they haven't been updated in quite some time.
Who here would prefer using Froyo over Gingerbread? I can't be the only one here who isn't totally sold on Gingerbread. Maybe once the source code is released so devs can build ROMs off it without using CM7 as a base, then I will really start to enjoy it.
/end_rant
You just might be the only one here looking for this, lol. Jk. Its the curse of moving forward with this tech. Noone wants to linger on old, they wanna be pushing into the future. Ive abandoned my froyo builds awhile ago. Deleted backups and everything. So sad.

PyroMod is pretty stable AND it supports actual A2SD. GO Launcher is also better than ADW and the stock Launcher.
If you like Virtuous you might want to give the Desire S ROM a try, it's the best ROM I've used on this phone so far.

I think you're missing the point of this thread. I don't want Gingerbread ROMs built off CM7 source (with PyroMod it's built off CM7-Nightly-31). I'm looking for more ROMs or more development of ROMs built on Froyo. Granted, that could be a really good ROM, but it's still going to have the underlying issues I explained in my OP since this isn't built off pure Gingerbread code. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
There are a few us that still prefer froyo to gingerbread... with CM6.1.1 is there any room for improvement though? I doubt it... when CM goes stable (very soon) and with the release of an official GB for the G2/Desire Z... it won't be long before all of us switch to GB for good.

That's so true... I forgot about that one. It's a pain to put the number in everytime you want to use the walkie talkie app or for looks on sms. I saw the name of the guy who supplied the fix for CM7 but am unsure of his user name on xda... if we could find that out, pm him, and add the fix ourselves to CM6.

The unknown phone number is the only bug in CM 6.1.1. Sure it's fine after you enter it, but you have to do that every time you reboot the phone. I would love to find a fix for that.

Because it's old and Gingerbread has everything Froyo has and more? I'm not sure why this is even a question.

You might want to consider the "Stock Gingerbread".
I totally agree with you. Froyo Roms are more stable, has less problems and everything is working. I too enjoy the Virtuous Sense Rom. Everything works, I tried switching over to GB Sense, not so great with the bugs and other faults that I can't easily customize. its pretty saddening that Froyo Roms aren't being supported and updated. Virtuous Sense was one of the greatest Roms I used during my experience with the G2 and when I try some other Rom I always come back to it. Just really wish I knew how to make my own Rom. But as of now, when I just try to compile a APK with XML edits, I can't compile it into binary . If only a the Villian Rom Devs would reopen their Froyo Roms.....

GingerVillain is a good GB ROM as it was built off an earlier version of CM7 (before CM7-RC2 was released). Are you having issues with Sense based on Froyo, Gingerbread or both? There are issues with the GB versions of Sense, but the Froyo ones (i.e. Virtuous) all work wonderfully with almost zero issues. I personally haven't experienced any problems with my phone running Virtuous, just the once-in-a-blue-moon unable to wake the phone with the trackpad.
I completely agree with the first paragraph of the OP. I swear, I could have written it myself.
The nerd in all of us wants the "latest and greatest", and that is fully understandable. But the fact of the matter is that GB has not been officially released yet for this hardware. All the custom GB ROMs are ports, and therefore buggy. I tried various CM7 builds for a while, at first I liked CM7. But eventually the minor bugs all got to me, and I'm on to Virtuous (but using ADW EX instead of the Sense launcher).
Aside from the bugs you mentioned, the camera button on CM7 is really laggy compared to Virtuous (or even the stock Desire Z ROM). And the GPS issue is a constant worry to me. I was able to fix it on RC1, RC2 was fine as-is. But the fact that some people have issues, others don't, and it seems to be radio related, has me thinking its a locational problem. And since I travel frequently for work, it has me less than confidant that I will have a working GPS when I really need it.
Also, there is really not a whole lot different in GB aside from some more consistent theming and a better keyboard. Sense already polishes a lot of the ugly theming in Froyo, and I use Swype anyway, so those GB benefits pretty much are moot for me. I'm sure there are performance enhancements and other small fixes in GB as well, but the performance difference seems to be negligible to me.
This is obviously a matter of personal taste. But I don't think the OP is anywhere near alone, judging from the still decent traffic on the Virtuous thread.

I'm sure that eventually there will be an official 2.3 release from HTC/TMO, once that's been made root-friendly that should be more like what you want. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it were already ready to go but is being held back until HTC gets their Sense 2.3 updates ready.
Members...can you please suggest some good & completely working ROMs for G2 (with Sense 3.0 preferably) ...
Havent tried them yet, since im still unrooted, but i've done some extensive research of the available roms with sense (reading through all the threads, and comments...) and have narrowed the list with a top 3 which im considering using:
in order of preference (from what i've researched of course...and this is personal):
1)MikRunny v1.01
2)RunnyDrOiD v3.0
3)BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid
Hope this helps, but again, havent tried them yet...

If you're looking for something with Sense I would recommend Virtuous or CoreDroid ROMs.
http://www.virtuousrom.com/
http://www.coredroidroms.com/site/
different releases of those you can find in the development section aswell.
so far I've tested Affinity and Unity latest releases from Virtuous and they seem fine.
If you would change your mind and rather want a smooth fast ROM instead a Sense one (that's pretty much the deal I guess, Sense ROM are propably always slower) I would tell you to go for Virtuous G-lite:
[ROM][12/12/2011] Virtuous G-Lite v2.0.1 :: GB AOSP HTC/G2 base 2.16.531.5
Running it atm, makes me really satisfied I rooted my phone
Ofc there are many other CM7 based ROMs around, you just have to try them out yourself to find what suits you best I guess.
Goodluck

Most every ROM in the development section is "good and completely working" aside from a couple listed as alphas, and the ICS ROMs (which still have some bugs, but many still use as daily drivers).
There is no "best" ROM. It depends on your personal needs and preferences. Asking what is "best" is an insult to the developers that put a lot of time and effort to get these ROMs to us. Threads like this are tiresome, since they get asked all the time. Just browse or search the forum, and you will find plenty of suggestions.
If you like fast and simple look go with CM7
It is a valid question

No need to be harsh; Not all ROM's are the same, there are some which perform better than others. We do appreciate the work being done by developers, but I think you were unfairly harsh to the person who asked that question. It is a valid question
Why Sense?
Far as ICS Roms go, the one in my signature has been my favorite of the batches (basically a customized Rom using the CM9 Kernel with AOKP user base and his own G2/Vision specific tweaks).
my favorite sense roms were Virtuous Primadonna v1.21.0 Alpha 3 and InsertCoin Vision v1.7.1. out of sense 3.0-4.0 roms that i tried only the primadona had a working camera but audio recording didn't work in some apps. those roms are pretty slow... if you really want sense i'd recommend InsertCoin Vision v1.7.1. it was the only one that had working camera and audio that i tested. in any event you'll eventually get annoyed with how slow all the sense roms are if you like tweaking your phone often. that's why i switched to ics. the adroma mimicry is the fastest rom i've tried.
Andromadus Mimicry (1.1.2) gives you ICS in CM9 flavour with some additional tweaks (V6 supercharger, OC daemon etc.) and customizations (boot animation). Some of them you can choose at install time. It's fastest and most stable CM9 based ROM so far. I'm using it as a daily driver and I am fully satisfied.
I agree with people suggesting AOSP ICS ROMs. I also liked Sense until I tried CM9 beta for the first time and now I don't think that I'll ever use Sense again. You can try this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687324) if you want something that resembles Sense 4, but is fully functional unlike current Sense 4 ROMs for DZ.
I'd suggest you try the one in my sig, though, that's what I'm using right now and it's really fast and stable, but I don't think you can go wrong with any CM9 based ROM, they differentiate only in details.
I want to flash my first ROM ever and ive been trying to read a bit and decide on the most appropriate ROM for me. I want something fast and with a good battery life and from what Ive been reading Absolution seems to offer both these things really well. One thing I dont think im willing to give up right now however is the ability to sync facebook images and information onto my contacts. Do Absolution and other Cyanogen based ROMS allow us to do that? Any one with any other suggestions that you think may be easier for me to handle for a first ROM? Also, is there a way for me to backup my current stock rooted ROM so I go back to it in case I dont like CM?
If you want cyanogenmod based ROMs, for me blackICE ROM is the best by far.
If you want to stick to official releases for our DHD, Android Revolution or wait for LeeDroiD to update his ROM
If your want sense 3.5, in my opinion SmartDroiD is my ROM of choice,it really is the best ROM I've ever used, but there is ER3BUS ROM and RcMiX Runny. Currently I'm on ER3BUS as I wanted to test it and I've ended up loosing my USB cable so I'm stuck atm but I will be returning to SmartDroiD soon as I can.

Yea, when you first install a custom ROM after making your choice, obviously you will have clockwordmod recovery on the phone. From here you can do backups (referred to as nandroid backups) you can also initiate this from ROM manager.
Good luck intrepid Modder.
Also my recommendations are
Sense - Android Revolution HD. It's stock Sense look and feel with good battery life and amazing support, practically 24hour.
AOSP - CM7 - Again amazing support and a great experience. It can link your FB profile pics, but don't expect and decent resolution.
Bleeding Edge - LC ICS Beta 4.5 - Great if you want to try the new flavour of Android but really not for the new modder.
Thanks a lot for the help guys. Knowing that I can back up my stock rom is particularly comforting. Im hoping il have enough time this weekend to get around to doing this. By then Il make sure to look around for some videos of each of those ROMs in order to better choose my first
I feel that Absolution and Blackice are roughly on par with each other, and both are excellent. I'm very curious about Wilkyyy's reasoning...
If your only serious criteria are speed and battery life, the Oxygen 2.3.2 port can't be beaten IMHO. It has far fewer "options" than the former two ROMs though, and there is no CM7-style theming. If you use an alternate launcher like Go, though, then this isn't really an issue or even very relevant.

Everyone will tell you what they think is the best rom out there. It is all a matter of opinion and taste. I would suggest watching the threads and see which ones are up to date with features that are appealing to you and try them each out for a few days/hours/minutes etc until you settle into one that makes you happy. There are tons of quality roms and many that are inactive as far as development too. Just be sure to back up your go to or stock rom before experimenting.
i would say virtuous affinity-v1.48.0 its fast and dont use much battery
i think you can use mybackup pro to backup your stock rom
but i think you need to root it first
Don't think twice, perfect ROM for DHD is Android Revolution HD™ 6.3.1.

How's that, chief? You can use launcher themes to change the look of your phone interface, if you're really "into" that kind of thing. Yeah, sure, your settings menu won't change, but if you're gonna lose sleep over that, then your problems run much deeper in my opinion.
Another alternative for Oxygen is the kitchen, which has already been done by at least one user.

I think you should try a whole bunch of them. Absolution is awesome IMHO.

Android Revolution and Absolution are my two favorites... Can't go wrong with either and you get a mix of flavors, Sense (ARHD) and CM7 based (Absolution). I randomly switch between these two but Absolution has more development and updates happening than does ARHD.
thanks i tried absolution ... amazing but the one true downfall has been horrible wifi ... will try a new radio and see if that fixes things though
