Hey guys, what would the best rom be to load on the dhd as of today?
[ROM][PNK14] Occasional & funky CM7 (Gingerbread) builds by phunkycow
Its the most buggfree and fluid Gingerbread build.. Almost flawless and doesnt suffer the lagg issue other Gingerbread roms have
There isn't a best one. It comes down to personal taste. Right now I am liking leedroid although myself I have some technical problems with it. Many people are running it fine though. It's a heavily tweaked sense rom.
My other favourite at the moment is rcmixhd. Unlike leedroid it isn't tweaked much at all, you just get a very clean and stable sense build.
Cyanogenmod 7 shows much promise too although it's still in heavy development so even the above mentioned pnk build has some buggy behaviour such as the weird and broken video gallery. Within a few weeks it should be great though.
Cyanogenmod 6 is much more stable but I find the stock froyo copy paste just too annoying without a trackball. All cyanogenmod roms are like AOSP on steroids.

So I desperately miss Hyperdroid and Shubcraft for their Sense and Cyanogen builds but I need more stable builds with newer updates on stability, battery drain, wi-fi, LED, GPS, etc. What builds do you find to be the most complete to date and which kernels and tweaks are you all using?
I'm not looking for perfection or a lot of detail, I just don't have a lot of time to test all of the different builds lately with my schedule and was hoping for some suggestions. For now it looks like HD2ONE for Cyanogen based and MDJ for Sense based seem to be the most complete but I keep running into little snags here or there.
Anyone have any recommendations? I know they are all great and I love working with all the different builds. Just wondering what seems to be the magic combination of build + kernel + tweaks (if any) that you have found. I'll figure out the rest.
Thank you for any input you can provide.
So here's what I'm thinking would work for me
Non-Sense
NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.7 PPP with Hastarin 8.5.1
Sense
MDJ Froyo HD 4.3 with included MDJ S7.5HD
Cyanogen Based
HD2ONE 0.3.3 PPP with Hastarin 8.5.1
Guess these 3 seem to be the best for what I'm looking for. I am not sure what the best kernels are for each but I'll keep messing with them. Anyone have any suggestions on what I may experience that I should know about or why I should use the oldcam vs regular, which ones really need to be OC'd or whatever?
Thanks and sorry for being so vague. I wish I had more time to mess with this and I just got spoiled with Hyperdroid and Shubcraft till they fled the scene to go work on improving their minds and making a difference in this world with their talents instead of working on Android builds all day. How selfish! /s
Non Sense: JDMS 1.6
Fastest build i've ever used and stable too, just try not to customize it much. :3
Sense: Mdeejay froyoHD 4.3
Well it's not the best, i'd prefer his revolution build over it cuz it's faster, but since mdeejay hasn't updated that build in a month and seems more focused on his hd build, the froyoHD will get better over time
Cyan: HyperDroid
It's the best cyanogen mod i've ever used, but it hasn't been update in a month so iunno.
Overall i prefer the JDMS 1.6 build best, stable and fast (quadrant score of 2300+ for me without overclocking the cpu). I'm having some problems with music skipping on it and it turning on party shuffling and itself randomly at time, but i suspect it's the winmo rom causing the problems since windows media player pops up randomly too when i use the winmo rom.

Thank you for the response. I know this is like saying "what's the best flavor of ice cream out there?" But we watch the Food Network for the same reasons. We sometimes just look for ideas.
So yes, I liked JDMS a lot but I just noticed the nightly builds of HD2ONE and it is rocking so I'm going to stick with that over JDMS or Hyperdroid. I'm pegging 1900s in quadrant and it seems like everything is working. I'll need to spin it for a day to make sure. I like it enough that I'm not going to use NexusHD as my daily any longer but of course I will still mess around with it as it's a very nice build. I would like to find MDJs CM nightly's wherever they are.
So I totally agree with MDJ4.3 for my sense build. I had to install setcpu and rock it all the way up to get the same quadrant scores but it was needed as it was a little laggy otherwise. Everything seems great in there too. I think the bluetooth audio controls aren't working in it if I'm not mistaken but I can deal without that... again, will spin it for a day or two.
So yeah, I hope that helps anyone else. I know the best method is just trying all of them out and seeing what happens. I'm sure there are others that may sway me but everyone here is so awesome that I'm sure it will only get better... as soon as Gingerbread drops, I'll be messing around with new ones again. Love this phone until some true innovative phones drop, I'm wicked happy as always.
Thanks again!
how about between Darkstone/MCCM FroyoSense 3.4 or MDJ Sense 2.4 as sense builds?
personally I havent tried the non sense and cyan.
i also have tried MIUI builds (Iphone interface) which still is in development however very fast and very responsive... just that I didnt want my HD2 to look like an Iphone, which defeats its whole point
Hello
Im new user with desire Z and now im seeking light weight + stable + fast rom.
I managed to root my phone nicely and now im looking the ultimate rom for me.
Any suggestions?
-S
If you like the stock 2.2 sense-based rom, you can always go for a stripped and deodexed version, which will have more space and arguably be a bit quicker than your stock rooted rom.
You can also choose to go with CM6 or CM7, these are basically 2.2 (CM6) and 2.3 (CM7) on steroids, with tons of enhancements and they've trimmed the fat at the same time. CM7 is extremely fast in my experiences, but is not in its final stable mod yet. There has been 1 release candidate (RC1) and several nightlies since then that have been working just fine for me. Although everyone seems have their own little issues with them because after all they are experimental builds.
I'm partial to CyanogenMod because they've been making wonderful software for me since I started with Android last summer, and its always been great. I'm sure there are also some great sense-based ROMs out there (similar to stock DZ roms + enhancements), as well as MIUI ROMs, this is up to you on personal preference, but I've given my suggestions based on what I've used successfully.
Read and experiment. =) I'm partial to CM, as I don't like sense, but that's me. You may find you like sense. Root + eng hboot + Clockwork pretty much sets yu up for fairly easy, pain free rom changes.
If your looking for lightweight and fast, I feel its best to avoid sense. Vanilla roms are slightly quicker and cleaner in my experiance.
Agree that CM is all around faster and smoother than Sense based. I used the stock Sense ROM for about 2 months. Sense seems to use lots of CPU and RAM. I have been using CM7 (RC1) for about a week, and its much smoother and faster. In particular, the Sense homepage and launcher are very sluggish in comparison. I don't think you can call CM7 "lightweight", it has lots of features cooked in (and very cool ones, at that). But it certainly fits the stable and faster requests.
Hi!
I honestly tried searching everywhere in the forum, no luck.
The question is: I need to find the most stable build, where stability is much more important compared to the functionality and all the bangs and whistles. I'll install it on someone else's phone and just don't want to have to upgrade/reinstall it every now and then.
If possible, I would like to hear about the most stable Gingerbread build and the most stable build in general.
I would love to hear about some user experience as well. I've been using
NRGZ Desire HD ROM. Beautiful and smooth but if I use it more than a few days
it tends to slow down and freeze on me. Anybody else out there care to share their
Experiences with stability?
the answer is simple: bauner's stock desire rom.
hardware wise desire is our hd2's closest cousin, hence great speed AND stability second to none. I use it with 1gb data.img on fat 32 and with use of multimount I had never any problems with data corruption, freezes, crashes or fc.
dhd roms are better as new sense is more advanced, but desire roms are also great plus speedier and butter smooth all the time.
what about gingerbread roms i have been running them off and on so far i thinks ginger runs better than froyo
i like to know toooooooooo
TycooN/MDJ
Been using Typhoon and its been ROCK STABLE to me and this is coming from a person that flashes new roms religiously.
Post your ideas on the best ROMS for the HTC Desire Z and why. I am open to suggestions so leave lots of details. I want to use a new ROM but I don't want to waste my time changing them over and over til i find one.
I'll say CM7. I've tried one other - can't remember the name - and CM7 just works well. I was doing nightlies but am now with RC4.
I like the responsiveness to problems, the size of the community, the organization of the community (through the CM website) and the confidence I have that no one has a better Android ROM than I do.
gv 1.5 if u want stable no issues
not sure I can recommend cm7 even with rc4 or "final" its not stable. I tried everything, wiped cache and dalvik and still had random reboots and no bluetooth pairing no matter what I did. I gave up and went back to stable old faithful GV 1.5, which is 90% based on cm7 but stable. No reboots, just works and works great.
It depends. Do you like Sense or vanilla Android?
There is a new thread created like this every few days, so you can get some more opinions if you just browse through this subforum, and the Q&A one.
you should try miui
If you want to use HTC sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042
> stable ROM based on the original HTC stock ROM with additional features and modifications from the Virtuous team. For me definitely the best ROM with Sense included.
or a ROM without Sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991254
> slim and stable Stock ROM v2.3.3 with some parts implemented from CM. It runs very smooth and without any noticeable errors. Great ROM without the Sense "rubbish".
I'm using CM7 Stable, it works well. MIUI's UI looks like IOS and I don't like it.
Lots of threads like this already but...
I've had no issues with CM7, its quite legit.
Hi
Currently Im on Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 nightly 414 and while OK, the other day it had a HORRIBLE (unbearable) slowdown period. Even multiple restarts didnt help. Finally it seems it fixed itself but Ive looking for something new. I use Go Launcher if that makes any difference. Im into speed but I think Im going to go with stable over speed this time.
What ROM do you recommend? Also nothing broken (automatically discards all CM9 ROMs)
If you are into Sense UI, go for Virtuous ROM, stock ROM tweaked + enhancements. If CM7 works if you are into vanilla ROMs.
I have been using virtuous glite 2.0.1 its stable I had no issues at all and I get great battery life, plus its slightly overclocked. Gslim1.6 is also very good but I had better battery life with glite. Both roms are based on GB 2.3.4. Here is a good rom index thread it lists all G2-Desire Z roms

You cannot say "Sense", "stable" and "speed" in the same sentence.

Yes, Im aware of the list but I wanted user feedback.
(Im not talking to any of you or anyone else Dont take this the wrong way at all as it is not a insult to any of you). Its funny: People ***** (a lot) when their ROMs go bad but when they are great, they dont say anything at all.
WOW G-lite is VERY old...
and i like ROMs with features; stripped down versions are not for me
sound like you will be most happy with elitemod, the cm7 based rom although i have been testing out nik3r's ics rom and like it better than most ics roms, i would go with his gingerbread rom. should be all you are looking for and great support from nik3r as well
Are you looking for a gingerbread or ics rom?

Damn I'm still happily running it! If it works great why worry how old it is. It's a testament to how well it works as it sits. anyways I'm waiting for a stable cyanogen 9. Then maybe, frankly I don't want to mess with it too much I want plain Android and I can customize it from there

I don't think you have tried much of the Sense ROMs back then, or maybe you were doing something wrong. I have had quite a few stable and fast sense ROMs. Of course they were not as fast as vanilla ones, but it works, knowing that you are the type who wants more features in ROMs.

Have you tried a CM9 Rom lately? Don't let the Beta name scare you, I have found the latest andromadus audacity extremely reliable, and everything works. I actually think it has less bugs then my stock htc GB rom.

Same, though I'm still tweaking my SetCPU settings and such, I like EliteMod's ICS rom the most right now particularly in terms of features and responsiveness. I was trying the unofficial CM9beta13 for a couple days and that thing was eating battery like no-body's business. EliteMod seems to be much more tweaked as it's the same setup Nik3r is using for his own personal Desire-Z.
But far as stability goes, I would agree that going with a Ginger rom would be the best bet, ICS right now is still too experimental in my opinion.
I've never tried the CM7 version of EliteMod, only the official CM 7.2.0 which was ok-ish for me. The EliteMod ICS Rom to me feels much faster and responsive than even the stock CM7rom, and I much prefer QuickPix app the EliteMod uses over that slow-arse Gallery app in CM7.
I would recommend andromadus mimicry (ics) its pretty stable and everything works (for me at least). It has the ics specific flaws like scrambled text in app drawer but launcher restart fixes it. Using this rom for 2 weeks and had this text issue 1 time. Battery is good also

You should try Elitemod cm7 it has never failed me, all the features you need, speed and stabiity plus amaizing battery life. If you wanna go ICS get the cm9 elitemod, but it is still a bit buggy.
I tried a lot of roms, and I always came back to ILWT CM7 (not new versions). Sense roms are quite good but not on Desire Z (too small amount of ram memory, multitasking on sense roms are poor - even on sense 2.1 roms with supercharger script). I waiting for stable CM9 (and yes i tried all versions of CM9 but text glitches and manually change apn to send/receives mms, makes me nervous).
That is only my subjective opinion
Anything CM7 based is very stable. Probably the most stable of all. Stay away from CM9 or anything ICS on this phone for another few months in terms of stability.

I can only vouch for my own experiences but I find cm9 very stable, perfect for a daily.

Going to install the Beta14 right now, the ALPHA 1 month ago had a lot of issues... but that was 1 month ago. Will post back...
Try Quadrasense! Not true that rom based on CM9 is not stable....
Quadrasense is very fast and stable
inviato da HTC Desire Z
For most stable overall rom I would recommend the latest ILWT CM7. For most stable ICS rom I would recommend the Andromadus Mimicry rom.
