ROM choosing help - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I want to install custom ROM. Now i am using the stock one. I have tried Oxygen 6 months ago but somehow did not get use to it. I want my new ROM have:
1) Stable and fast
2) FULL RTL support (notifications, gmail, calendar etc...)
3) Good battery life
4) Sense ( may also be without i just don't want to mess with lunchers and milion 3d part programs)
I don't want million build in programs wallpapers, themes etc... In market there is everything i need.
About A2SD or Data++, stock Hboot or modified, ext4 or ext3? i don't know. i need the most reliable solution with maximum memory but without problems in installation of programs ( i heard there is a problem with modified hboot and data++ but there is a solution).
Please advice

Runnymede AIO V5.0.1 Special Edition
It's a SENSE 3.5 ROM and it's full offeatures but u can disable what u want over the install visual platform (chose Cuztumized Install and check/unckeck what u want to install)
It's really amazing how this ROM is running well so far!!!

AIO stands for "All In One." It essentially is a single install, with apps 2 sd, tweaking options and all sense 3.5 bits included. You just flash the Rom and you are good to go.

Definetly Sebs Runnymede AIO 5.0.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961) - the best Sense ROM nowdays. If you use CM7r2 HBOOT, you can use AD2SDX script (selectable during instalation) which is imho better then regular APP2SD (I use it and now I have 800MB of free "internal memory").

Personally I've been using This rom since I rooted it. Stable. Pieces of sense 2.1 and 3 in it and generally quite a nice rom

thank you all
any more suggestions? is not sense 3.5 a bit slow?

I would suggest you try tamirda 's RevolutioN 3.0 rom. After that everything else will seem slow to you.

ROM choose
i thought about RevolutioN ROM but i did not figured it out about all the versions and revolution 3d. What is the difference? what is the newest? i read in a hebrew forum that there is revolution v4. is it better? is there problem with overheat?

I wouldn't choose a Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM, if you want maximum Stability try Supernovas ROM, the other Sense 1.9 ROMS or the AOSPs.
If you want a very stable more eye-candy Sense Rom with maybe a bit less speed then the ROMs I mentioned before, try InsertCoin or Revolution. They are 2.1/3.0 Hybrids.
I myself am using InsertCoin for a few months now and havent experienced any failures yet.

Not 3d. Try the normal RevolutioN ROM. Difference: it's faster. Revolution v4: first time I've heard of it...

look at the toppic
iandroid.co.il/forum/topic41536.htm

any more suggestions
what about mildfire or miui

Tried Revolution for a month, but found it laggy various places.
I would recommend AN-droid, may only be sense 1.9 (original Desire) but very fast, stable and with apps2sd.

+1 for AN-droid.
For me, Runnymede AIO V5 is not good enough. I tried several version but after 4-5 days, the rom becomes very slow.

just flashed beta ics and is looking great no probs so far!

using couple days, works perfect!

can you post a link to this AN-droid rom?

what rom to choose? :S

hi all... i had recently the rcmixS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570
now i have the official android 2.3.
However, i would like to use some rom with, if not all, some sense 3.0 features (as in rcmix S).... stable and fast also!
as that rom was last updated in June, i wanted to know if you guys could sugest me some other rom.
Cheers
Just test. The rom you like depends so much on personal preferences.
Try revolution or Aurora.
Revolution v1.5 is one of the best Rom's I've tried so far, very fast for a modded sense Rom, my advice would be give it a try, but beware once you do, you'll struggle to find anything better

Does Revolution lag at all?
I'm using Tabasco's Silky ROM v2.0 at the moment, simply because it's as close to stock as I can get, and is therefore as quick as the official HTC 2.3 ROM.
I do miss some of the cooler Sense features of other ROMs, but they all lagged too much for everyday use (when doing things like opening browser, returning to home, dragging down status bar).
So does Revolution suffer the same lag?
I know it's not Sense, but...
MIUI roms are my favorite roms,
once I tried, every other rom is just boring.
thou i never really liked sense, MIUI was a true discovery for me.
FAST as lighting, very customisable, intuitive...
at least try it
and if you don't like...
go back to boring sense

Honestly Revolution is amazing, theres no lag what so ever, you should give it go m8, I know you will be impressed, V1.7 has just been released today, Not sure what it's like yet as I'm still downloading it
I tried Revolution too and I think it is the fastest sense Rom out there ...
I tried the Data++ 1.5 version with sense HBOOT and there was no lag whatsoever
the only problem I had was that programs kept installing on internal memory !!!!!
I find miui a very good choice. Performance is good. Update weekly.
try aurora with supersmooth rosie (semi 3d, transparent) and supercharger script you'll get full sense 3.0 very fast and stable
i recommend falshing aurora v03 first reboot make first settings and then wipe dalvik and cache and flash aurora v04 after that applie supersmooth rosie and supercharger script the reason for that is if you flash v04 first apps2sd isn't working and v4.1 doesn't include rctweaks
i second the revolution or Aurora... though nothing beats miui..
CyanogenMod or insertcoin
GingerReal2.
Nothing else

Nothing beats LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB - R5...........I go back to it every time.
insertcoin.....although sebastiaans runnymede 3.5 rom is getting there....gonna wait a few weeks for it to settle!
If you're limited to Sense 2.1 + 3.0, I would definitely suggest Revolution, or Leedroid HD. Revolution has custom UOT though. I don't know how that'll click on you.

[Q] Sense 3.5 for you

Hi,
i would just like to get some inputs on what is the most stable and smooth sense 3.5 rom today?
I flashed runnymede 2.1 today and i'm really satisfied with the smoothness. what i really like is the a2sdx script that give me 500+MB internal memory. but i think i can also flash the a2sdx script to other rom.
do you advice to try any other rom like BlissMod007 or Cool3D RunnyMede? or Runnymede all-in-one is better that the other?
Thanks!

For now RunnyMede AIO is the best Sense 3.5 Rom. (in my opinion) Also, I'm not sure that the a2sdx script can be used with other roms, the script writer said that its only for sebastiaan RunnyMede rom.

i have tried it with Coolexe Aces Sense 3.0 for atleast a week without any problem.
Too lazy to figure it out on your own? Or perhaps those countless "OMFG, this ROM ROCKZ" threads ain't enough for their majesty?

I am since yesterday on coolexe's cool3d aces v5 (sense 3.0, stock hboot with 1GB ext4 partition). I have noticed some lagging when having the weather as lock screen and generally some lagging when using the phone. Also another downside is the video recording. It is distorted somehow..:/ does it happen to all 3.0+ sense roms?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I think people with a decent SD card should go with the AIO rom, otherwise like me just stick with Cool's version, and flash snq's kernel (found in page 1 of sebastiaan's thread)

[Q] which is the best 2.1+3.0 sense rom?????

I have tried Insertcoin for a long time.... Used to like a lot...
But decided to flash cool3d v6 sense 3.5 Rom....
I found it a bit laggy... Also no 720p...
Btw I love playing hd games on my desire...
The point to be noted is, I required chainfire to play pes 12 using insertcoin....
But while using cool3d v6 the same game works smooth without chainfire...
So now I wanted to flash a 2.1+3.0 sense hd Rom with good performance...
Thus any suggettion about which Rom to flash that too with good performance for gaming????
I thought of Revolution, coolaces, etc... Pl advice me....
I have HTC desire, s-off, cm7 hboot....

SGBS-Desire v2.9.1 (Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 | Oxygen/Stock hboot) is the best
Revolution is the best Sense rom I have tried. Ive been using it for a few weeks and havent had a single lag.
Revolution is by far one of the best ROMS i've used with any Sense UI.
will give revolution a try.... thank u.....

It's a really really nice indeed, only 720p video lags for me Wish I could solve that problem.
I'd say out of what I've used so far, the latest version of Revolution is by far the best for performance.... Its snappy as f*** ... and pretty too

help on which rom ?

Hello guys,
I am currently running HTC desire with official HTC RUU gingerbread 2.3. Phone is rooted with super user access. I have tried the ice cream sandwich rom but will installt it permanently once it has been refined.
In the interim, is there anyway I can update my phone to using the lastest sense or sense 2.1 even ? I would basically like to stay as stock as possible but with the new htc sense without any compromise in speed. maybe I am asking too much. But could you direct me to a good rom please ?
many thanks
I'm currently on seb15's runnymede aio 5.0.4 with a2sdx and I realy like my desires speed and look. it's with sense 3.5 android 2.3.5 and many other usefull things.
So I recommend this Rom. its speedy and looks great.
thanks, will give it a go
wrong part of teh forum...
which one is the right part
Forget sense's roms try MIUI and you will not try another rom

Sense ROM

Hello!
This is my first thread on xda-developers so I'm going to be concise and on subject. I've been using Mildwild ROMs based on CM7.2 for over a year now and I want to try something new on my Desire, like ICS or JB. The thing is I want to return to a Sense 3+ based ROM, but I don't know what to choose.
I thought about flashing one of these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226332 (don't know what it's based on)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204681 (too old I guess)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431908 (I'm a bit skeptic about this one)

Or should I flash Vijendra's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070704 with Sense theme?

Runnymede AIO is also good. Try these on cm7r2 hboot. They're optimized better on it.

He wants sense based rom, NOT JB 4.2.2 and its not sense themed, its sense hboot that u can use. Suppose theres a data++ theme too? Eh..

Lol sorry I was just kidding about that. Sense and data++ are hboots (internal memory partition layouts), not themes. The guy above was suggesting that you should use vj's cm10.1 ROM, but it is NOT a sense rom. It says sense in the title because it can work on the sense hboot. Sorry for the confusion.
Oh, I understand. Right now I have the stock hboot, worked perfectly with Mildwild's ROMs, but I feel the need for a change. I have a class 10 4gb SD card and I want to try something different. In your opinion, what the smoothiest Sense ROM?
What I wanted to say about VJ's 4.2.2 ROM is that there can be flashed a Sense theme. Would it work good?

My favourite sense ROM is cooldroid. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279016
Sense theme can be applied to any jb ROM that has theme chooser. This includes pa, aokp, etc.
After I've tried all ROM's from above, I finally flashed Vijendra's Jelly Bean 4.2.2 (CM 10.1). It runs fine (with some of those little glitches reported on the main thread) and I'm pleased with it. The thing is that one day my phone went off when it was around 20% and today around 40%. Is there a way to calibrate the battery or I should considering buying a new one?
