ive tried a number of diff' DHD builds, & in my experience the desire z build by dandiest is noticeably faster than anything else ive tried, & yes the battery does appear to drain at a slightly slower rate with fewer spikes (observed in current widget log).
i guess the beauty of running android from the SD is it doesn't take too long to test,
this is only the 2nd day of using, but so far it has been v.stable, id definitely recommend trying that build.
thx I'll test dandiest rom soon now I have to test desire ram from lord darkstone, If things go bad with that i'll try dandiest
Theoretically the desire z build should be faster than desire hd builds. The desire hd uses a 1ghz processor and 768mb of ram compared to 800mhz processor and 512mb ram from the desire z. When development were in progress to fix the camera on the hd builds, I did bring up this point and ask if they should be concentrating on the desire z camera instead. I suppose the desire hd build is better for the hd2 because both phones have the same size screens. On the other hand both the desire z and desire hd run the new sense ui and with the specs of both phones and running android on the hd2 we don't use the full ram what the hd2 can do so the desire z should be better performance wise for our hd2.

Hi Guys,
So there are many Desire HD Sense build around now for the HD2. I've tried them few though most of the issues have been sorted out and are smooth also. They still don't feel as snappy as the regular sense and I don't see much advantages over regular sense...the flying animations are also there in MDJ Revolution build....Is it about the extra eyecandy only for which all this hype is...or am I missing something
Regards
Im on froyo hd 4.3 by mdeejay. AND IT ROCKS. Desire HD builds have latest gen sense which is highter resolution(Several elements are smaller so that they fit in the screeen) that Evo and everything just looks better.
For me the bigest advanced of HD builds, is the extended goodies in Browser, and for me is faster than other froyo's.
Well I don't use the inbuilt Android Browser Much...its mosty opera mini for me..becoz its faster and saves bandwidth...
One thing i liked though is inbuilt task list in notification bar...its definitely a cool feature..
The percentage battery bar, keyboard with arrows and revised font size are worth the using of the Desire HD Rom.

for me: 1)lcd density (displays more on the 4.3 inch screen, unlike before...it showed the same as a 3.2" device)
2)htc sense . com
3)customizable (skins, skins, skins!!!!)
3) improved camera
I agree with op, the desire hd builds lag.. This is no fault of the developers as it lags on a DHD...
Personally vanilla android wins my vote.

i liked the desire HD build until the superfast rom i got with quadrant score 2775 :S itz the fastest smoothest i had till now... no lags at all..using 2 memory cards now... one for desire HD one for JDMS ultimate

I like the fact that you can re-order your pages, which I've not seen in any other build (I don't think it's in the Evo build).
When you click home twice, it brings up the pages and if you long-hold on one you can drag it round to re-arrange them.
That's a very nice feature that I'd like to see introduced into other launchers.
I'm with FrAsErTaG though - vanilla Froyo FTW!
^^yes, ordering of pages is nice...but its mostly a one time thing...atleast for me..so once its set...its all set...
Funny, I'm not able to see higher pixel density or such...its appearing exactly like sense clean which i used earlier...i'm on core droid HD v0.2 btw

What are the benefit/downside for Desire versus Desire HD builds?
I read somewhere that Desire may boot up faster whereas Desire HD may look better on HD2? Any comments are welcome.
I have SD/RAM darkstone right now, which uses Desire base. What's a good comparison RAM build for Desire HD?

All you are going to get here is opinion. I would honestly suggest backing up your data, and trying both out. The only true way to make a decision is to try each one.
For my opinion:
I use Desire base, not HD. I believe it is more suited to our phones specification, it is less buggy, and does everything I need. Even 'stock' HD's have issues that HTC are trying to solve, so the devs here have no chance to fix some things, until HTC do. Also, I have a 512 HD2, so the space issue is a big player for me. If you have 512MB leo, you're probably better off with a desire build, if you're on TMoUS, sure, go ahead and try a build you like the look of.
HTH
Desire HD has some nice eye candy and some new HTC widgets..that's just it (also there HTC sense online services, but i don't use them)
Personally I use the desire HD/Z hybrid (CMYLXGO's 15Jan one) becoz I like the eye candy and it works fine for me without any hiccups. Initial DesireHD builds were laggy and buggy...but developer's have ironed out the bugs and phone feels as smooth as Desire build...you have to disable live wallpaper though...it has big performance penalty
Thanks. I may try it out since I have a tmo version. I assume the rom you recommended is non ram? I haven't tried an android sense yet either so it may be somewhat worthwhile.

Hi there,
currently I'm using a SD version of the Desire HD build from MDJ.
I'm going to change to NAND as soon as I find the (for me) "perfect" build.
I'm checking every day, what new builds has been released over night.
For the moment Nexus builds arent't an option, because I don't like the camera and some other optical stuff.
Anyway, I was looking for new Desire HD builds and found now a Desire Z one... After short testing of the SD version I can't find any differences
Does anybody know the differences relation with the HD2 (Leo)?
Thanks for your help
OK, for anybody who is interested...
it's seems that there are more ore less minor diefferences BUT since the Desire Z has an hardware keyboard, Sense UI can be used in landscape mode
Dudes,
I've been running Android on HD2 for a few weeks now and it's great so far - it's basically like a Desire HD for half the price. But I've been having a problem in regards to keeping the Sense UI running smooth after a few days, no matter what build I try (this is why I'm posting in general)
I've tried Imilka's Desire Z, Rafdroid HD 4.0.2, Rafdroid HD Light 3.2 SQ and CMYLXGO Light. So far, CMYLXGO seems like it's the smoothest, but I'm still experiencing significant slow down and jerkiness of the Sense UI after a few days.
Are there any maintenance routines or tweaks I can try to keep Sense running smooth?
I'm sure there's something in regards to
-cache cleaning
-ram cleanup
-reboot routines etc
that I could try, but I'm not sure where to start, and I'm kinda iffy about using a task killer
Any ideas would be great, especially if we can make this a resource thread for people with the same question
thanks,
zuka
Less apps installed
Less memory usage for micro sd
Keep the internal memory little used. Like eight hundred or more megabytes free
Just my two cents
That's a good idea in theory, but I've got an EU HD2 with 512mb of internal memory. With CMYLXGO Light installed and every possible app moved to the SD card, I have 20 megs of free internal storage.
Would creating an EXT3 partition on my SD card have any effect in speeding up the phone by allowing it to use it for internal memory, or does that not work in every rom? (Derp: Just checked and Cmylxgo DHD doesn't support data2ext. Sorry)
Well just to point out. Desire hd and z roms aren't really smooth. Unless there has been a significant improvement from the last time I tried, which was 3 weeks ago, yeah. So yeah, just pointing out that you can't ask for it to be something it isn't.
My point is that on first install, and even after installing all apps, the build is significantly smoother than it becomes over the next few days. I suspect there's some kind of way to clear out caches etc to make it run at a stable speed over time, so i'm just checking if anybody has any tips
As the sense version number increments it get more bloated and eats up more space and memory.
What I recommend is desire/bravo ( not desire hd or z ). It's an older version of sense that has some advantages in my oppinion:
- no htc hub, htc likes, htc crap
- timestamp on picture
- occupies less space
- runs faster.
- the battery is ok
So, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992430
The desirez and dhd builds are not smooth in general.
I use Skinks Clean Desire and ist very smooth. Only disadvantage is that it hasn't the new sense 2.1 features.
The nest best things to hope for are the new roms coming now. With Gingerbread and sense 2.1 based of the desire s or incredible s.
For now i can recommend Imilkas Vivo build. Almost everything is working.

Even if the general question "What's the best build" is asked very often, I think my question is more specific.
I am searching a good build for daily use with HTC Sense and I think the best is one which is based on the Desire HD.
So I found the MCCM 4.5 Desire HD build and the one from Rafroid.
But which of these two is the best, has someone tested it during a longer period of time ? Or is there another good HTC Sense build for SD ?
Sorry, I have only tested MCCM HD v4.5, but I can say that it is an extremely fast build, runs like my friend's Desire HD. The main problem I found with it was the high battery drain, although this may be due to any number of other factors, and eventually I rebooted and my battery drain was 60 m/a (compared to an already high 11 m/a I had earlier). This wasn't a reported bug though so it was probably a completely random glitch, which only happened to me . Currently using AmeriCanAndroid, and I would definitely recommend this too. I never thought I would like a pure Gingerbread build, but this one is perfect. I don't have any experience with Rafdroid, but it looks to be as good as MCCM's build, judging by the comments/reviews. Try both of them, and decide for yourself. SD builds are so easy to switch between, so it shouldn't be difficult (just use the provided 2gb MicroSD if you are non-US HD2). Hope I have been able to be of help in some way
I also just saw in the Q and A section of Rafdroid that there is wake up lag, which is not an issue in MCCM HDv4.5. I found that as long as I left at least one second between lock and unlock in MCCMs build, the device would unlock in 3 seconds at the most.
Hello
I have tested both , mccm and rafdroid for longer time. Speed is nearly the same. Battery drain is on rafdroid like on winmo and good for dayley use.
in the past 5 days since I started this Android roms on my hd2 I tested like 10 different roms. in my opinion all the desire hd ones have major lags, from refresh rate to screen delay sometimes it tests your patience =) but this one DL Desire Series does the work for me
