Which 1.6 ROM is better?

There are three main 1.6 ROMs that probably everyone knows about, so I just want to see what the majority of people are using and get some opinions.

I would have to say AOSP+ADP, although it isn't one of the choices. From those, I'd have to say Cyanogenmod.

Super D

I'll try and see if I can add that in.

I like HTCClays SuperFast a lot. It is a themed SuperD, fastest rom for me at least. Cyanogen used to be fast for me around 4.2.4 and then it just got really slow, especially on the dialer.
Although can't wait for Cyanogen to fix the camera and release the long awaited Eclair

[Q] Is MIUI coming to Aria?

Anyone know if Miui will be coming to the Aria?

I wouldn't think so. It seems to be an HDPI rom. I don't know if I would like it on the Aria tho. I've messed with it a bit on the N1 and my buddy ditched it for CM, its a major battery and resource hog.

Thanks for the reply, it does look like a battery hog, but I hope that they keep making ROMs for the Aria. I had no idea what a solid little phone this thing is.

Please can someone port miui

it looks like there is a chinesse rom that already did that here

This was brought up in another thread; it's a Desire HD ROM that that guy posted in an Aria section.

I'm guessing there's no development on this for the Liberty/Aria??

no.
<space filler>

I'm guessing our Aria is way underpowered to run the MIUI ROM.

From my understanding miui requires a armv7 processor at this time.

The guys in the hero forum are working on porting it, but it seems like the thread is at a standstill until an experienced dev picks it up.

By the time they make a usuable "port", your phone upgrade will be here.

I haven't had a contract in years. Personally, I prefer to stay off-contract, as I can't afford AT&T rate plans. If I want a new phone, I buy it outright.

What's the difference between roms???

What's the difference between CM7 rom and Virtuous rom???
Because I'm thing about updating from virtuous to cm7
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

One big difference is that CM doesn't have HTC Sense, but Virtuous does.
Also, CM is based on 2.3, whereas Virtuous is 2.2.1

Best thing to do is flash and see for youself! Look at the specs of the roms and flash! That's what I do.

I agree. I was doing the same thing as you trying to find the difference between two different ROMs and I found that it was just easier to flash and try them yourself. Plus it was fun flashing different ROMs

I really like Roto CM7 rom So far out of all of all the roms I have tryed and it seems more stable as well as fast. but I am flashing B#54 because it has the tethering in it. seems he has taken it out after that and since I do not have Internet at home anymore... Moved and have not gotten it.... I tether...

Hey,
Well Virtuous is based on the stock rom (therefore it comes with sense). On the other hand is CM which is build on top of vanilla android (therefore it can use 2.3).
If you like the look and feel and the bundled apps of the desire z with stock rom, you will love Virtuous because its just an extension.
If you think the stock one is overloaded and you like the vanilla android experience, CM is the way to go.
In both cases you get a custom kernel with a lot of nice features.
I use CM on my G1 and Virtuous on my G2. And I like both! well more the G2 but that has nothing to do with the rom

Best sense ROM?

Just curious and wondering what is the best sense rom in terms of batter life?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I have virtuous running on one of the phones in the house, it runs great.

Lol just try the roms for yourself my friend and see which one you like

I could do that.. but id like to hear what the general public says before adventuring into the world of sense roms. I'm running virtuous Rom right now. It's okay. Seems little laggy. Should be faster on the g2 then the evo which i have in front of me as we speak. Id like to say the G2 is much faster than the evo.

I use GingerSense 2.3 but thats just me

id say the best is TeamVillains new one!

Are you using the standard or advanced kernel, and if the latter what are you OC'ing your phone to? I'm using the standard kernel, and my phone doesn't seem laggy at all. There are the occasional moments of slowness, but nothing to the point where I would consider it troublesome to me.

I'm using the advanced kernel, overclocked to 1.0ghz. I like the TeamVillian Sense rom, cant stand the bugy landscape mode..

Does anyone know of a Sense-based ROM which has the Bluetooth A2DP bitpool size problem fixed?
Andre

Virtuous ROM 1.0.1 with Standard Kernel @ 1GHz for me. No lag what-so-ever and working great! lovin' it

The best Sense ROM is the one that uninstalls itself and loads CM7 or some AOSP variant

I'm using gingersense 2.3, so far so good

Id wait a few days as now Sense and Gingerbread work together so there are going to be alot of releases based on that.

does anyone know if there is word of a stock update to Gingerbread 2.3 for the Desire Z. and if there are going to be roms made with Sense and Gbread, will they be available in ROM Manager. I am very interested in this GingerSense. where is it available.
Thanks.

HTC said that the Desire family of devices would be getting an official update to v2.3 in June or July.

Ideas for roms??????

Anyone got any ideas for roms? Not ics.
Anything specific? I'm going to make one, but I need ideas
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Sense 3.5
Bliss base
Runny nav bar
No bloat
Runs perfect without swap
Or maybe u wanna port Android evolution or Runnymede desire rom by sebastian15? The latter is a great rom

Yeah, the DZ community has a love/hate relationship with 3.5 sense rom, so a one running smoothly without swap, no bloat, nicely themed (easy on the eyes ), is a way to go.
There are alot of sense 3.5 roms for the DZ. I've tried them all (literally), so far the Bliss sense and the NRG 3.5 sense roms are good, other I had trouble with (laggy, slow, crashes...).
MIUI, seen one seen them all, although popular you will be just one in a bucket of full pretty good and functional MIUI roms.
Stock g2 or AOSP also, there are alot of them for the DZ, there has to be yet an AOSP that can beat the awesome CM 7 rom.
If you make it really try hard to stand out, cause it will be burred soon under the mentioned ones.

You could try porting a weird obscure ROM that nobody has really seen much of. I remember using a ROM by SiulMagic called LiquidM_Villain, its basically an Acer modified version of Froyo. I used it for a few weeks before leaving because I missed Gingerbread, but it was quite a neat ROM. Theres a Gingerbread version around now that could be ported? Or maybe theres another modified version of Android that nobody really sees much of?

Lol or he could build cm7 for the acer liquid metal my wife has it, nice device but seriously lacking in the rom department. Taz if your interested fire me a pm, I have some background on the liquid and could help out you'd be a god on the liquid metal modaco forum
As for the g2 there isn't anything I can think of...we pretty much have everything except full ICS.
Taz I'm serious about the acer tho...pm me!

Also, will hopefully try my hand at that desire rom. Doesn't look too easy because of desire-specific things, but will try

Lots of similarities with the DZ taz, same cpu, ill have to check again. But they've been trying to port cm7 from the DZ to the liquid MT, they almost have it but I think you could blow it out of the water.

Honeycomb?
I noticed the HC SDK 3.0 uses the GB launcher so...
Some other folks built and compiled HC for their phones too, off the SDK I believe.

Honeycomb is a bad idea when we have ICS being ported at the moment (which if you check the dev page, there's a thread with an almost complete port) since honeycomb was designed purely for tablets and is not meant for phones. A LOT of quite possibly pointless work would have to go in it.

take any existing ROM - figure out how to make it have even better reception in weak signal areas - and you will be a STAR on XDA!!
and start with the ROM that is the fastest, leanest, and has the best battery life and most free RAM of any ROM.........yes I am talking about G-Lite 2.0.1

My idea is the latest stock rom with nice tweaks and addons but that's just an idea... And maybe nobody likes it

The ICS rom on Desire Z is out ? or it's still the alpha version ?
