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.

Hi!
Just a quick question please. I've got a Nexus one on CM6 and all happy with it. My mate's got a Legend though and has got loads of niggly problems and issues with it and wants me to root it, wipe it, and put a new rom on in for him to give him a fresh start.
So obviously not being so familiar with all the rom options on the legend, could anyone advise which rom is the best and most stable to flash? From looking around it seems the indigo bean rom looks like the best all rounder. what about the cyanogen one though?
Thanks a lot!
I'm using azure (0.5 version, don't wont to update just yet) (Froyo, Cynogenmod6.0)
Well, I really love HTC sense, just for most of the apps (mail, keyboard, browser), but now I'm on this CM6.0 mod for quite a while and I am starting to like it.
It's a bit faster (noticeable) and its quite stable, haven't noticed many issues.
I would definitely recommend this ROM.
(I've got the jonas htc 1.5 keyboard installed, just can't live without this one)
If you stick to sense, just make sure he gets the latest radio and version 2.... versions before 2. where noticeable SLOWER ...
Well there is no best in anything actually. Depends on what he's looking for in a rom. If its for speed go for Kyosa's CM, its the fastest rom so far on the Legend. Have some issues on it though, so not really practical for everyday use. Azure's CM on the other hand it stable, but a bit slower. I personally use the Azure's rom from ali ba, so I would recommend that one.
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
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.

I have tried pretty much every version of NAND gingerbread now and I am finding them all just a but laggy compared to Older froyo builds, anyone else find this, I thought ginger was supposed to have speed optimisations?
Just want a clean, quick Ginger, no frills or crap as I like to customise myself, I think I have tried them all but I might be missing one, anyone using a clean ginger that is nice and snappy?
NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.1 NAND [App2SD+][720p][Kernel: tytung_r2_oldcam] works well for me
found that a big laggy like the rest, note I say laggy but I am comparing it to the froyo builds, anyone else find froyo builds faster?
I can say that gingerbread is faster and smoother than froyo. Actually i use gpc_hd2_gingerbread_1.5. Every froyo was picked up with different tweaks and progs. Normally people want decide itself what needed and what is cool or fun.
I think it will be very good point for htc android development, to start make every rom plain or stock version. Then let users add itself what they want or cooker makes custom roms. Then when we have plain or stock roms we can talk about smooth or speed.
I dont fight, just my opinion.

found that laggy myself compared to cleandroid, have you tried cleandroid, smoothest I have found yet.
Yes i have, more twice. Freezes on different places and needs time at time reboot.
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.
