I've currently settled down with CronosDroid 2.13 the last few weeks and it's been ok. A little unstable at times (OC to 670ish MHz) and keep having to kill tasks all the time but it's not bad I suppose.
I wanted to try Froyo out and was looking at FroydVillain and Cronos Froyo.
I will try them both myself, but I was wonder what you guys think of FroydVillain 1.4 vs Cronos Froyo 1.02?
Any particular positive or negatives?
Froyd over Cronos
Positives:
Active Development
Dedicated Support
Probably as simple as that really.
Just try Cronos once, then you will come to know !

and what exactly is he meant to do when (and it is definitely a when) something goes wrong?
I love you're argument - it is so based in faith that it is a superfluous statement. You haven't provided a single reason for the OP to use the rom aside from your own arrogance. Please provide something useful to the discussion or don't bother to post. (Edit: sorry to bash you but there are so many cronos users who have no idea what they are talking about and have never even tried another rom)
I would love to hear some genuine reasons for using Cronos (from users who have tried both, like myself) because I actually respected it as a rom, but I do believe with the most recent release of Froyo that the unsupported Cronos release is obsolete.

I think both are being actively developed and have dedicated support. The thing is all the roms are getting so good now that it really comes down to personal choice. Try both and see which one you like would be my advice.

What guys are you saying : Cronos = Hate, what's that ?
Try the 2 Roms and you will have your personal idea.
(Cronos have their site for support and it's very active)
O interesting news that the Cronos project is back. Just be careful as the developer hasn't released his source code (which is against the GPL agreement which the Android platform is a part of, and his linux code isn't available either - once again illegal...). But lets not get into that again.
If Feeyo is providing support on his site I would keep all discussion there as you won't find much favour for the project on XDA at the moment
Edit: I take that back, just seen info about his sources - will see how things work out, maybe Feeyo will come back to XDA in the future and things can move on
This new all makes my first post mostly superfluous now too. My advise is now to try them all (froyo builds) and see which one suits you the most.
Well I've had FroydVillain 1.4 installed all day.
Trying to get used to Launcher Pro... Its cool, but just different. The dock makes a lot of other short cuts obsolete! Maybe thats why it comes with 3 homes screens as default... no way you need 7 with that dock.
What a shame there aren't more icons for it.
I'll let you guys know what I think after a few days time.
Thanks for your input!
Boogwee try here:
http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/
try both and pick. i used cronos for longer as froyd seems to have constant fix-patches which may be good but seems bad.
that said, i'd recommend elelinux.

Doubt that. Personal opinion no real reason.

I agree which ROM is better has alot to do which what you like I personally like Cronos better but before there was Cronos I tried the Villain stuff but I PERSONALLY never really cared for their ROMs they always lagged with me but I haven't tried any of their newer ones so the problems I experienced are probably solved.

10char.....
I have only ever used the Cronos ones.
I thought about trying a villain rom once, but i don't like the way the devs waffle on like the wideboys of XDA, so i never tried it.
Before Froyo, i only ever used the SenseHero 5.1 roms, which after some previous searching, gave me links and messages from the VR team *****ing about Stickman,
Well I stuck with Cronos for a few weeks but the last update 2.14 slowed it waaaay down do instead of going back to 2.13 I thought I would try the new FroydVillain 1.5 and I have to say it's pretty awesome! SUPER fast.
I'm even getting used to Launcher Pro instead of sense..
Thanks for the link spamianspoon, that's an awesome site..
Hi guys,
my 2 cents:
I used Feeyos Rom from the beginning, cause for my felling they were the fastest.
Since Froyo is out, i tried both, Cronos and Froyd. Till release.. i thin it was 1.0.3 or something, i was not really happy with Cronos. So i tried Froyd, which was bette at this time, but not perfect. It's just a feeling that things in the Froyd Rom take a ( really just) little bit longer.
Since Cronos 1.1.0 my opinion is clear: Go and take Feeyos Rom. It's just as fast as no Rom before at my Hero. Everything is fast and responsive.
Ah but i know one thing i miss in the Cronos Roms: MORE THEMES If you want to have very much nice looking themes you should try Villain.
But since Computerfreak ported his theme to Cronos i'm happy again I think they will be more Themes in the future.
So my opinion: Cronos Froyo
Cheers
Froyd 1.5 would have to be the fastest rom. But then again I've never tried Chronos.
Gotta say ive found Cronos Froyo to be the fastest without lag.
Hopefully MrBang will release a froyo rom, as his 1.5 was the fastest rom ive used.
did someone try the cronos 1.1.1 and froyd 1.5?
bb.

What are your thoughts on the best sense roms at the min?
Threads about what is the better ROM are not liked much on XDA. This is because the quality of a ROM is about personal preference.
Also, debating what ROM is best can discriminate some developers that are working hard, just because some people like their ROM less. Other people won't try it out then, while maybe the ROM suits them best.
Besides that, it's just not nice towards the devs. It's like having two artists both comming to you with a painting and then telling to one his/her painting isn't good and to the other his/her painting is much better, while your knowledge about art isn't even so good (at least not so good as the artists).
I do get you want to know what ROM (if that is the case) to choose, but then just look at what the devs say about their ROM and the recent reactions from users. Then you get an idea what to expect. Also, it can't hurt to try them out .
Speaking honestly, when I first joined XDA, I too used to ask questions like the OP. However, my views have changed. Each "Chef" cooks his own rom in a different way, as their roms are aimed at different target groups. Thus each rom will have its own advantages, disadvantages and more, making each rom taste "unique". The only way you know what you like is by trying something new everyday or when the opportunity arises. The same goes with flashing. Download both roms (and more) flash them, spend a few days and see how it feels for you. If you like it, keep it. On the other hand, if you can't be bothered to even flash...why are you on XDA?
Good day, and I don't want to see another post where flaming could occur.
Agreeing with both of the guys/girls..presuming guys, while your intentions are good, its all personal preference.
So people won't answer because its not fair on the dev? I hardly think so, basing a question on personal preference wouldn't harm any support a dev would get from followers
If anything its a positive being compared
Its not like I'm asking for faults, one will have different features not necessarily better just different, all I wanted to know is what made people choose the rom
Maybe a better question would be - what are the main differences between LeeDroid and Revolution? Then you could make an informed decision as to which to try (or which to try first at least).
I'm using LeeDroid now, but I'm curious as to how Revolution differs and if I should give that a shot as well. Doing a bit of a scan of the Revolution thread doesn't show anything obvious, but I'm sure there are differences.
I myself have been browsing both threads as just rooted my DHD & unsure which to give a try first.
Gonna wait for their next updates & see which appears to be the most solid.
Not to sure if I wanna go Sense or NoSense, possibly the latter.
Yes please, i do agree with the comparison making devs feels bad and stuff...
But all some of us wants to know is what are the differences? like lees is targeted at what kind of users? Revolution is more for who... and stuff like that...
Its like some likes the PSP and some the NDS... PSP for more mature and action gamers while NDS is more for the kids and ladies... and of course there are exceptions and thats where flashing both roms comes... but first we just wanna know, what is what?. . .
Pretty please ?
LEEDROID no doubt about it
So what's better? Big Mac or Quarter Pounder? Well it depends who you ask.
Anyway you left out RcmixHD. Which is an equally good rom just different. Some people prefer vanilla ice cream.
Leedroid and Revolution are the most popular but that isn't strictly the same as being the best.
Someone swyped my idea.
Anyone who can explain what the main differences are between the 2 roms?
I am about to flash a custom rom for this phone (first time flash on my dhd)
And i looked at the threads but i dont see the differences.
though here i see there are differences but they arent mentioned.
anybosy wanne explain them?
(not looking for a "who is better" answer, just to know the differences so i can deside what would suit me better)
Thanks!
There is no major differences between ARHD and Leedroid because they both support the ideea of "close to stock as much as possible" ideea but with many optimizations and custom kernels which also gives more battery life and a very smooth experience.
The only thing i would say that differs is the kernels but no major differences i would say because ARHD uses Apache kernel and Leedroid uses his own kernel which has some things from Apache kernel but Apache has some things from lee`s kernel and so on.
Personally i am with Leedroid since 1.1 version and i`m more than satisfied, i found him more experienced but it`s just matter of prefference.
You're best bet is really just to test them
Flash one, make a backup in recovery, use it for a few days and see how you like it.
Flash the other, make another backup, use it for a few days and see how you like that one.
If you like 2nd one best you don't need to do anything else, but if you decide you like the 1st one best just restore the backup.
No one should ever feel tied into one ROM as it's so easy to flash and test others. I used to try 3 or 4 a week on my Hero back when chef's were knocking them out in quick succession
Personally I've only ever used ARHD on my DHD but am keen to try LeeDroid and VillainROM too (I was a big Villain fan on Hero). Problem for me is finding the time!
thanks!
i think i will go with revolution first because i found everything i need for that.
the site for leedroid is a little unclear to me..
I've been using Leeroid for a couple of days. I was hoping for better battery consumption over stock, but the difference isn't substantial. I also find that the auto-brightness is too low for my liking. And there seems to be a couple of transition glitches, as far as I can tell. I plan to use it for a week before trying out Revolution.

LeeDroid it s better for the look but Revolution it s faster than LeeDroid
I have tried LeeDroid only once and it is crap..
I really recommend Android Revolution HD 2.0.12, it is REALLY fast! And ARHD's developing speed is fast. You will get updates almost every week, some times twice... It will include much themes and if you don't like Sense, you can install NoSense mod. I recommend!

The reason I am writing this thread is because of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883222
The OP raised his concern regarding Cyanogenmod not being the biggest concerns for the Dev's. But I honestly think that during the times of CM6 the Dev's could have played a bigger role of bringing it to our Vibrant. I know Eugene tried to do something with it, but i think the release of Gingerbread 2.3 made his work not worthwhile because it was based on 2.2.I am aware that CM7 is in"heavy development cycle" due to Gingerbread 2.3, and most likely will be coming to our Vibrant. With that being said, I feel it is necessary because since we were not able to get CM6 to our phones then why not go for MIUI.
Honestly it is one of the greatest ROMS out there and sometimes i feel that our Vibrant should be getting some more love.Keep in mind that I am in no way bashing TW/Eugene or any other Dev's. Their work is nothing short of quality since I have been a very heavy user of both the Nero and Macnut Series. But I am sure that most people wouldn't mind having MIUI on their phones since its the best of both worlds. (Iphone/Android) Also, I wouldn't know the full process porting such a ROM because it is not an easy task and I am in no way a developer. Maybe it is being worked on with a 2.3 Base? Idk? I am just seeking for answers as I am sure most of other people are as well. I really hope that MIUI really comes to our phone and it becomes one of those projects where many Dev's were in the process to port the SenseUI (back in the day). Just trying to make our community better.
For Those who are unaware of MIUI ROM, here's a demo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0U8ISI8YXM
Flame me, Hate me, w.e.. I just think its a debatable subject.
Ty.
What is this? A new trend?
hopefullu for the good.
Here is why, in my opinion.
If 25% of the masses want cm or miui, 25% want 2.2.1, and the rest want 2.3 - 2.3 it will be.
I like miui, I even had a barely working version of it for a little while. But, the guys who use my releases know what they want, those who use TW want their roms bionic, etc for master, eugene et al.
Nowdays, with leaks once a week, I think it will be tough to get a dev to drop everything else and start a port like miui.
But, if I could do it, I would, I think.

Wow, that was the exact answer I was looking for. Like I mentioned before I am no Dev and you being here longer than me and more experienced I will take yourword for it. Your also right about these leaks coming very fast. Hopefully after a full port of 2.3 is done maybe just maybe we can get MIUI.
Thx Alot.
Yeah I Was Gonna Start Working On MIUI But I Need A Cyanogen Source, There Isn't One So I Kinda Hit A Wall
Maybe If Jellette Can Send Me What He Started I Can Just Port MIUI

Demo of the ROM.
I don't have enough posts yet to post on ROM specific threads. But I wanted to write to say a heartfelt thank you to the Einherjar Development team for making my Samsung Vibrant phone the exact phone that I dreamed it could be.
I don't have any development or coding skill, but I love to customize my phone by studying what's available and carefully following instructions. As a result, I've tried Bionix, CM7, Simply Honey, Axura, Nero and a few others. These are all great ROMs.
But nothing has ever given me exactly what I want as much as Trigger, and now Project V with the trigger theme. I am really picky about my technology, and most of the time I end up having to settle with not having everything exactly the way I wanted. But you guys at Einherjar Dev make deliver such quality, and these latest ROMs are so perfect that I even stepped back down from Gingerbread ROMs to keep using Project V.
Thank you for all of your hard work, and PLEASE keep it up!
I typically avoid these type threads, but I agree. Project V with the Trigger Theme is perfect. It allows you to have everything working and it does it well, while looking good.
I am now trying Asgard. 2.3.4 brings a LOT of features I like, but it's not the same as PV+Trigger (and that is at no fault to them, they don't have source).
Tonic_Acid made a great theme for Asgard also.

i flashed the sensation theme from EDT to the Asgard and it knocked me down to 2.3.3 and removed my voodoo lagfix.
Same here. Project V is sooo good. Im still holding from Gingerbread just because of PV. Thanks for all your hard work guys, we appreciate it.
Agreed!
While I'm sure they would prefer to be thanked in the form of donations I bet they enjoy just being appreciated as well.

While we're on the topic - I LOVED Trigger, and now I'm on Bi-Winning v3.0. I tried Asgard, and I was impressed, but as mentioned, since no one has source, GB ROMs can only go so far. I haven't tried Project V, and I'm curious as to why everyone is all ga ga over it. I read the description as basically just being the stock ROM with tweaks, and that didn't didn't sound that exciting to me. So what is it that has everyone so excited about PV?

Well, that other Sensation was actually a complete ROM. He's updated it to be purely a theme now.
love 2.3.4 rom
The things I care about in a ROM are as follows in order of importance from MOST important to LEAST important:
- Aesthetics
- Battery Life
- Stability
- Performance
Yes that's right, aesthetics are a deal-breaker for me. If I can't get a ROM to look and feel the way I want, I don't care how good the performance is, I won't use it.
- Project V with Trigger Theme has perfect aesthetics for me giving me exactly what I want across every aspect of my android experience (the themed MMS is the best.)
- It delivers the best battery life of any ROM I've used to date, particularly when combined with the Bali kernel (most geared toward battery life, though Bullet is an excellent 1.45ghz option for performance)
- It is rock-solid stable, smooth, crisp and lag free.
- It's performance, meets all my expectations and needs, though being Froyo it obviously lacks GB features.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to surf ROMS. I'm too excited by all the awesome development going on. I mean, CM7 is amazing. And there's several ROMs from developers I've never even flashed yet. But I think EDT delivers high, high, high quality, and I just wanted to thank them.
I was wondering which ROM is the best to install in my HTC HD2 there are plenty of ROMs out there but dunno I can't try them all I want a stable, fast and reliable one without any problems.

You aren't serious are you? Not only are there thousands of threads like this, but that is also a very stupid question if you think about it, as if there was a 'best ROM' everyone would be using it.
Having said that, I would advise sticking to a CM7 ROM for speed and stability, in my experience Sense simply isn't as fast as it's made out to be.
use a miui rom....

You didn't see a single thread remotely like this? Are you f**king kidding me? You clearly spent less than 5 milliseconds searching, otherwise you would have found (I would think literally) hundreds of 'best ROM' threads.
I think any reply to this can only be subjective. There can never be a 'best rom', only a personal favorite. I don't particularly like sense so I use Dorimanx's latest High End Rom. Someone who likes sense will disagree and someone else would say the latest ics build.
For me Dorimanx's rom is the fastest and most stable I've found...I'd recommend it.
Sign a contract and get a new phone...
The best rom is the rom do you like it most. Start installing different roms and see what is good enough for you. Cheers!
I think there is a rule that says not to post such posts...better read the rules before, or the sticky's...
Anyway, as bangorip said this is subjective and depends from lot's of parameters...
From my experience, use wp7 as the standard everyday rom and with dual boot try sd for android but not a sense rom ( it's not as fast in the sd as in nand-my opinion) also if you want only android in nand try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316632
Φιλικά...
Yes a little more searching would have showed you that you are hardly the first to ask this question. By asking what is the best rom for you that's like asking what is the best outfit for you, or the best car for you. It's impossible for anyone to tell you what is best for you.
Now there are a lot of options from Sense to AOSP to CM7/CM9 to MIUI to Touchwiz and so on.
Your refusal to sample them all speaks to your impatience, this is typically a developer forum so I suggest doing your own research and not asking anyone here to tell you what is best. Experimenting will be the only way to tell you what is best but I can list some things about the different roms
CM7: Fast and stable GB, everything works here.
AOSP: Same as CM7 but with not as many options, just straight Android to the core
CM9: ICS roms, still in the early builds but with almost everything working. A few issues arise here and there so you may want to wait until deveolpment furthers
MIUI: Huge options for customization and everything works (in GB of course, the MIUI ICS roms are at the same level as CM9)
Sense: You have Sense 2.1 Froyo with everything working (except 720p I believe) Or you can move to GB with Sense 2.1-3.5 with everything except video recording working properly. Sense naturally is slower though as it is pretty resource heavy. But the efforts of the devs have brought Sense 3.5 to near CM7 speed and usability.
Dorimanx's rom
New Dorimanx's rom is the best for you. Witch i tried...
@chrisrj28 that was an answer I was looking for.
First of all sorry to all you DEVs and Users. But I think it's worthy to ask this. I have searched it but haven't found any thread with satisfactory answer. So I am posting here.
I know many of you wont find it good. But this is important. I am new with HD2 device. There are many of ROMs out here from last couple of years. People actually can't flash them all to test or surf almost 10K pages to know it.
so I request you all of you guys as per your personal experience which ROMs are good to use. It is not necessary to be stable but yes it should be worthy.
Please share you experience with ROMs.
If u looking for an good cm gingerbread SD build look no further the AmericanAndroid hasn't been updated in a while but it is a smooth daily build.
If u looking for a good nand build, I would go with IcecreamTosti v1.1 everything is fully working in the rom, an too me its the best daily driver ics build i tryed to date. . .
Sent from my aokp tenderloin
I've tried a few, but I always come back to HyperDroid. It's smooth and fast and has an excellent cast of developers that are helpful. It is a huge thread and can seems a little bit overwhelming at first, but I think it's well worth doing the research.
The other two mentioned above are solid builds as well. I have not tried AmericANDroid nor the Tosti series, but I haven't read anything nasty or bad about the two.
If your looking for a good Sense based ROM you can try the Energy series. A very solid build, but it is a resource hog.
READ every page prior to installing the rom. You'll be glad you did. You can find out alot about what you're looking for in this way.
Good luck and happy hunting!
And welcome to the HD2 family!
You will never get a satisfactory answer on a thread like this, because your question is subjective. I don't know how many times I've had to explain this
Having said that, my recommendation is NexusHD2 (see, you have 4 different answers in 3 replies).

I've tried a few, but I always come back to HyperDroid. It's smooth and fast and has an excellent cast of developers that are helpful. It is a huge thread and can seems a little bit overwhelming at first, but I think it's well worth doing the research.
The other two mentioned above are solid builds as well. I have not tried AmericANDroid nor the Tosti series, but I haven't read anything nasty or bad about the two.
If your looking for a good Sense based ROM you can try the Energy series. A very solid build, but it is a resource hog.
READ every page prior to installing the rom. You'll be glad you did. You can find out alot about what you're looking for in this way.
Good luck and happy hunting!
And welcome to the HD2 family!

Yel. I agree too. Hyperdroid is the fastest, smoothest and the most stable build ive tried. But it doesnt really matter. One rom maybe functioning well on one HD2 and it may be messed up on another. So i guess you really have to use the trial and error method
Sent from my HD2 using XDA

Me too
its seems it gonna hard to decide which one is good. Every user has their own prospective. But still I am finding it quite usefull. And i believe people who are new to this device they can also be the beneficiary. Thx guys.
I think ill flash few builds by our awesome devs and then start building it by own...
Throwing in another vote for NexusHD2. Consistently a fast and reliable daily build.
I can still see the worth of threads like this. I just so happened to be looking for the most reliable ICS rom now that we have HWA
I am not an expert, just a regular user. I have used AmericanAndroid, Hyperdroid and JaguarMIUI. I like JaguarMIUI, it's pretty stable and light. GPS lock down took only a few seconds. That is important to me as I travel a lot. Also battery life seems to last longer. I only have problem with Hotmail apps when using JaguarMIUI, as I won't be able to add contact, other than that, all is fine.
True we wont get a definitive answer here, but will at least sort the wheat from the chaff.
I use NexusHD2 HWA Build by tytung - have had no problems what so ever since it became HWA.
I used to run AmeriCan Android GB build, and tbh found it buggy and slow, but probably wasn't the latest build, cant remember now, has been months since I used it.
Hyperdroid seems to be a very solid build, especially for us fans of CyanogenMod.
As I am a fan of Tytung's work I would likely try NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a, if I for some reason-such as needing to save space due to bad blocks, etc; though it is AOSP as opposed to CM.
Im new to this android world but im a fan of the hyperdroid. Cosmetically, im a fan of the coredroid..
Question.. is there a way to get the visual upgrades like on coredroid, but have them integrated into the hyperdroid. ????
Because I´ve WPH too , im must yuse SD builds. My favorite is the Tostidroid. But the last builds had many random reboots so I used MIUI ICS for a while (3 days ). The Nexus HD is goot too, but i love Tostidroid has more options...
And i think the MIUI rom was the most smoth and stable ICS ROM. But the b40 of Tostidroid is now very stable too... Before i Installed WPH I had NexusHD rom @ NAND and it was not bad.
If you are looking for a ICS build Nexus HD and MIUI ICS are the best for daily use...
If you don´t want WPH install the Nexus too Nand that you have a 100% working system for daily use and test the other ROMs as SD builds...
well i would personally recommend miui roms. it is a pain in the ass to solve all the problems that come with it( for me it is the ultra low internal storage and bootloops, but the newer versions doesnt have a bootloop) and for the low storage i am trying to make a ext3 partition. but after that.. WOW! beautiful like no other(even ios not and no, i am no apple fanboy) smooth, perfect build-in apps, good at multitasking, fast... just perfect.
Since November '11 I'm testing a lot of roms, but there was never a Rom which is the best for me.
But then I found myMIUI from the User 'Aternus'. This ROM is my favourite one, its stable, fast and very smooth. The only bad thins is, that it isn't multilingual, but Aternus said, it will come with Jelly Bean
Test the Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932), I love it :fingers-crossed:
To me the best rum is Pixeldroid Last Edition RC9 Rom with AROMA INSTALLER/HTC Sensation XL
But unfortunately there are a large drain on the battery

I am sorry guys but this kind of thread never leads to any positive end. ALready said a million times, "best" is subjective and only is "best" for you.
