What is the best custom rom?

I like the default theme and am not opposed to it, and most custom rom themes I do not enjoy. Nonetheless I want a faster system and the ability for live wallpapers.
Are there any reccomendations on the best custom rom for this situation?

Also looking for the same thing, an overclocked SENSE UI ROM? Currently running DD2.7
Any Help For US?
Thanx,
Tee Jay

The best help you're going to get is
"This is what I'm running, but you need to try everything"
The reason why there are so many ROMs is because there is no "best ROM"

For sense run fresh rom or dc
And flash the oc kernel on top

There were two versions of the kernel there. I found out that the Fresh and Damage version is NOT the correct version.

Well if you like stability, and your gps and accelorometer to work properly. Ie you want to be able to use geocaching programs, and exercising programs like cardiotrainer then I would choose a rom based of of the official stock rom like fresh

[REQ] Legend to Slide Froyo AND sense?

Since the HTC legend recently got Android 2.2 Froyo w/ sense, is there going to be someone to port the rom to the Slide?
I love the functionality of sense but I don't want to have to downgrade to eclair to get it.
So if anybody knows about work being done on that or if someone wants to volunteer, please inform me and anyone else who passes by this thread

Its gonna have the same problems as the 3rd sense rom because we don't have the official 2.2 kernel for mytouch slide! Which means I don't think anyone is going to port it! Check out 3rd sense though its stable enough and is the same sense ui

yep, and actually i think 3rd sense is based on a froyo sense rom for the legend called gratiend so thats your rom right there, at least thats what the credits on the thread say..

I am currently running cyanogen mod 6.1 stable for my slide with clockwork recovery. Do I need to flash/install anything else before flashing this rom?

Nope, all you need to do is a wipe before installing it so you dont get any weird errors

Okay thanks I will flash it, froyo aside, are there any REALLY good stable sense roms out there? Not espresso roms but original HTC sense? flash would be nice

this one has flash lite as well... and as far i know this is the best sense based rom you can find for the slide go ahead try it and tell us what you think

Oh man it works amazingly, I had to disable javascript for the browser to run alright though. Otherwise it is an amazing rom. I ran into some less than polite stuff when I posted in the thread, but I suppose I am a noob. Thanks for the suggestion.

HTC Sense 3.0

Just wondering if it's possible to download and install the HTC Sense 3.0 interface/widgets? I have a stock droid rom which is nice but I want the HTC Sense 3 widgets

There are some Sense 3.0 ROMs popping up, don't they have everything you'd be looking for?

Nope, but give this one a try: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free

I just rooted my phone today and flashed a rom with sense 3.0. It's pretty awesome, i think i am gonna stick with it for a while.
If you are not rooted, please do give it a try. Just make sure you make the appropriate backups.

Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum
Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.
Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf
Also this is not the correct section

Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.
You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.
The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it.

HTC Wildfire Custom ROMS

Yeah as 3xeno said there is only one and it's not complete, I tried it and it was pretty useless as SN everyday rom. Try wildpuzzle (its 2.2) but it's a very good sense rom

The ROM won't boot, but if you don't believe me, try flashing it and see for yourself. If DHD ROMs were compatible with the MT4G, there would be a whole lot of happy MT4G owners running those ROMs. There's a reason DHD ROMs have to be ported specifically for the MT4G (see RCMix Sense 3.5, for example).

Oh thanks buddy. I will port it then. Do you know which specific files need to replace in dhd rom? Since the spec is close i think its not necessary to replace all system/etc, bin, lib, etc

I don't personally, no, but someone will see this and let you know. As far as I know, it's relatively easy because of how similar to two devices are.

yes i'm using it. but the important thing is which files to replace and keep. i have read tutorial about porting sense to other sense device but it's too general. i think it doesn't need to replace all driver or libs because MT4G and dhd is identical in hardware.
any idea which files to replace? i have extract beatmod bliss sense (which is multi device rom) to find out the specific files for MT4G. but when i replace the files (and some rename from spade to glacier) with files in beatmod i got bootloop.

Well you need to get a MT4G compatible kernel first... that requires a Linux system to decompile the boot.img. then you need, of course, to edit the build.prop so that the device says Glacier instead of DHD...
Also, you can't use beat mod bliss sense files on flydom ROM because they are two different ROMs. One is Sense 3.5, the other is Sense 3.0...
Hope this helps
Also, please ask the dev (zfreak) before porting. Who knows? He might be able to help you out.

No, because like i said before, you need to change the kernel. And to do that requires a Linux machine...
Beat mod bliss sense ROM is Sense 3.5. This one is Sense 3.0.

alright, dsixda's kitchen has a feature to edit the boot.img,i'll search for the tutorial.
i thought difference between sense 3.5 and 3.0 only in app, framework, and some libs. i dont think that for fundamental files like drivers also different. so i use beatmod.

To port a rom from dhd you need to replace boot.img the wifi module a couple camera libs and the key layout and keychars in /system/usr I'm sure there's something else but can't remember off the top of my head

if you download that do you mind to share it to me the lib, etc, bin, build.prob, and boot.img? it will make the files smaller to download rather than the 500MB ROM.
