Which ROM would you recommend?

I'm currently using FroydVillain 1.5. The problem i have with it is it quite often seems laggy and slow. It also tends to stop responding sometimes when the screen is on and when the screen is off, both times meaning i need to remove the battery and put it back in again and restart the phone. FroydVillain also has numerous other bugs to do with the gallery app and camera app which are quite inconvenient a lot of the time. So i'm looking for a solution.
What's the fastest Hero ROM for Froyo, and which is most reliable? What do most people use these days?
I'm not a technical person so try and keep it simple enough please.

Floyo with flykernel for speed. But I am using cyanogen with that kernel on my hero

VR12 with Flykernel is fast and stable on my device.

Cronos 1.6.0 with gani's galaxy s theme, puckerrr

if you are looking for a sense rom i would suggest modaco custom rom.. i´m using it and it just works. no problems..

I have experienced all of the problems with FV 1.5, but recently I've tried FroydVillain 1.6 and the speed is SICK. And I really do mean WICKED SICK. Try it, you won't regret it.

I m trying Froydvillain 1.6 And works really good. Much better than 1.5

I tryed all Froyo Rom on my Hero and my choose was Floyo.
- Floyo 1.1.9 is the most stable for me. For a great experience you can add Launcher Pro and remove the included launcher with the "ReplaceSystemLauncher" utility (see Floyo post for more informations)
FroydVillain 1.6 (with 1.6.2 beta update) is very complete and amazing but a little bit buggy at the moment. I hope in future updates. Note: I found GPS works very very well in this rom.

I can suggest villainrom 12. I have tried numerous newer roms but they are laggy, especialy floyo.

Hello there
I'm currently using RCmix, which lately is getting more and more laggy.
I like sense, but I'm willing to test Vanila ROM's.
Checked 0.7 Froyo sense, but I frequently use camera, so that's out of the question.
So which ROM would You recomend ? Villain 1.6.1 / Floyo ? I think that others are quite old. Or perhaps nightly/CM rc1 ?
There is also Tegro , slide ROM.
I just want a rom that works
What do You recommend ? or should I just backup everything and test run everything for a week and decide ?
cheers!

I've been using Froyd 1.6 since it was released and its been great. Battery life is fantastic only dropping 20% on light usage days. Text/call/game 5 mins.
I'm not sure i'll even bother with the patches at this stage as its been so good.
I started on 2.1 stock which was quite nice but since purchasing the phone I wanted to root it and install custom roms etc and from the research the Villain roms seemed the best option. I had Villain Rom 12.0 and Froyd 1.5 before and have found 1.6 to be much faster.
I haven't tried any of the others though so don't have a wealth of experience as some other users might do. Really it depends on what you want from a Rom... There are always going to be trade offs with the Hero.
GLHF whatever Rom you choose and give some feedback on the ones you do try as I'm def interested.

Well I was using fv1.5 a while back. Switched to floyo 1.1.9, which is a great rom. speedy at 614Mhz, had only 2 FC's in a month. Battery life was good, getting about 16 hours with light-medium usage. Am currently testing fv1.6 now tho. Have calibrated my battery, so hopefully it will last longer than fv1.5 did. Speed Is also fast on 578Mhz. Haven't tried overclocking yet. But its best to try different ones yourself and see which one suits you

[Q] What is the better custom ROM based on Sense ?

Hi !
As you know, there are many ROMs for the WF, and I'm a bit lost in front of all those choices.
So, according to you, what is the better (faster and smoother) custom ROM based on Sense ?
Thanks a lot !

Easyest way is just to try them for a few days n c which is better

if you are just looking for a custom SENSE rom ... WildPuzzle is the best ... ) ... its stable ... by d way you still gotta overclock ... it smoothes everything ...

it all depends what you want, each rom has little things others don't, and thats part of the deal, finding which rom suits you best, i use wildpuzzle which i love and i've had a quick play with daddy spuds rom which is impressive too.
horses for courses, as the old saying goes
and remember nandroid backups are your friends

I have used leaf r3 and its prettty good. But wildpuzzle is definitely recommended.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Well as you can see from my sig i use SUnAaBh rom its very fast and smooth whether you overclock or not its nice and simple and it has an improved battery life is you ask me especially over the stock roms
But it you want a slightly more customizable rom wildpuzzle is good but i would go for v0.7 over v0.8 unless you want a transparent lock screen.
SUnAaBh link im my sig it includes the latest radio in it aswell which is a good thing

[Q] looking for an ideal ROM to try

Hey all!
So I've been with my NAM(Bell) Desire-Z for a few months now.
I've a fresh new 1800mAH battery and I wanna get the most out of it.
From what I've noticed, I don't really need any of the HTC widgets. I'm bound to find better replacements even if I do.
(Widgetsoid is an amazing widget alternative)
So I ask... do you think SuperVillainZ or maybe Virtuous might be better for me to try out if:
- I want better battery life
- I want a more responsive UI
- I want to stick with SenseUI without the bog-down effect
- I want to keep the SenseUI camera
- I like the SenseUI mail app.
??
Here's what I am hoping to get at as well....
-replace the HTC People app with the stock Google Contacts app
(HTC People + sync is driving me insane)
-replace the HTC dialer with "Dialer One" (an amazing Dialer replacement)
-retain 7 homescreens
-get wifi calling
-No huge need for overclocking, but definitely underclocking to save battery
-openVPN <-- i need this
I don't mind using a different UI/Launcher and I'm not pushing for 2.3,but it would be nice of course.

I'm using a bell desire z on rogers myself, I would suggest cm 6.1.1 for battery life as I ran it for a week and got rediculously good battery life on stock battery. I'm currently running cm7 nightly and have no complaints, battery isn't as good as 6 was but its still better than stock. as for all your extras your looking for I can't comment too much on as I'm still new to the desire z as well as cm. my main reason for suggesting cm is not only the customizability of it but I got sick of sense. yes it looks nice and its semi cool, but I find cm to be cleaner and less "busy". and adw ex let's me setup my homescreens just right.
sorry I can't help on the sense referral your looking for...just my .02 though and welcome to the desire z/g2 family

Same here i got a Bell Desire Z and the Battery life was Horrible ~ 12 hours max Sense.com, facebook were killing me.
Try MIUI its really smooth like a iphones but you might not like it as its like an new OS almost.
CM 7 RC would be best choice on cm7 nightly builds i got 24 hours with 2-3 hours use which is a lot coming from sense.

I would say Cyan Rc1 its really nice and stable
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

id recommend cm7 rc1 with flippys 1.8Ghz kernel.
I am running it at 1.4 and getting a really good battery life.(better than stock cm7)
but if you must have htc stuff id recommend virtouos rom.

Hmm... the only thing I really need from Sense is the camera/camcorder. Is it included in Virtuous? SuperVillainZ? other?

I too was thinking of going to CM7 RC1 because i think sense is one of the big reasons my battery is so poor because of all the things in the background, i was wondering though if i would be able to take the HTC touch input and camera from virtuous say and install them on CM7? And how good is the copy paste in gingerbread?
I just like the few little UI things in sense, only reason ive stayed with it
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I would try CM 6.1.1. I've been using it for about a month now and it's great. I've tried Virtuous 0.9.5 and come to the conclusion that Sense is just not for me. Way too busy, and the launcher/home just isn't customizable enough.
I tried CM 7.0 RC1 for a couple days, but was getting choppy performance switching between screens on LauncherPro. It was worse with ADW. Must be some performance tweaking that needs to take place on that ROM.

Unfortunatly htc apps will not work on any other rom unless the rom is based on htc sense . The only htc app that will work is flashlight . I am running cm7 just now but virtouos rom is very awesome. And it has a very good battery life .

Has anyone else tried GingerVillain or SuperVillainZ or Virtuous, and could drop in 2 cents?

tried virtuous and gotta say the difference between it and cm6/7 is clear..the latter being obviously snappier and a better performer. I could not deal with the laggier sense ui

What is the best ROm

Hey folks, what is the best ROM you have ever tried for Wildfire,and why?

CM7, very stable and because it's gingerbread. Also frequently updated and in my language (dutch)
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

CM7: rich in features, allows overclocking, activity in bugfixing and many more great features and community.

CM7.1 Nightlies all the way! They are stable and fast, especially after#149.

Really Depends if you want sense etc etc theres plenty of good roms.

Well CM7 runs quite slow after a day or even less, even if you overclock...it's because Gingerbread is quite demanding on this little fellow.
You could try Cm7 Nightly 151 and Rempuzzle (sense froyo with widgets+WIL script+cm7 kernel for OC) and see there is a big difference.
Personally, I liked CM7 a lot, and still do, since i've used it for half an year or so, but a stock android just can't bring what I need, nor market apps, but htc sense does.
I hope I helped. Good luck with your choice.

I do agree that CM7 is much better .......but there are some flows in it...
Like……… dialing pad is not much attractive, pathetic Radio app, SENSE is not much attractive .......etc.................that my point of view

thanks guys for you advice, I have tried CM7 but it was a little bit laggy, also I tried Wildbuzzle, but now I'm using original ROM I think it's more stable than the other ROMs.

I won a wildfire and I liked him with the CM7

Best Customs ROM for DHD

Hi
I'll like to know what custom ROM would be considered the best for DHD, what I'm particular about are the battery enhancement and enhancement in speed/performance. Would really love somn with a buttery smooth performance.
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA

It all depends on your personal taste.
Do you persé want sense, or is a AOSP ROM fine too?
Try some of them and decide after that.
Once you get the hang of flashing a ROM it's no big deal, and your DHD gives you a feeling of a new phone every time you change it!!!
Most ROM's give you a better batterylife than stock, look in the posts of your ROM of choice
And with a new ROM you can safely overclock for a buttery experience
Good luck

It depens on your preferences.
For sense based roms i like most RunnyDroid or Er3bus XL
For non sense give a try to MIUI or lastest CM nightly.
Regards.

Android revolution hd is best sense rom hands down. Cyanogen for stock Android and ice cold sandwich for stock ics

I'm on smartdroid-T since 3 months. Its based on sense 3.5 (sensation XL) and the best rom i ever had on my DesireHD. 2 days battery life and smooth as a sgsII and it has all the Tweaks and mods that I need already installed (rcmix tweaks etc). I'll stay on it untill official ICS custom roms are coming.

i want to say
smartdroid-T maybe adjust you i think

IMHO....Rcmix 4.0, Smartdroid and Energy are the best.
All work perfect and fast.
Sense rocks!!
Matt

Thanks guys, I'm really grateful for the help and insight offered by y'all! Appreciate! :-D

how about Coredroid by Sergio76?
i used is seems very good on my DHD....

My personal advice would be to stick with any sense 3.5 rom for a while until official sense 4 rom is leaked and devs adapt that rom then you will have no reason to stay on sense 3.5...but for now all 3.5 roms are great so you can just pick any...and if you want to go minimalism then get: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587249

i like this
HTC Desire HD ARHD 7.3

I prefer sense 3.5 roms. I tried them all and in my opinion the ER3BUS XL is the best. Very very fast and smooth and battery life is excellent
Sent from my Desire HD

in my opinion the moderator will close this thread cz there isnt a best rom it all depends on ur choice friend

i use ARHD for a long time , i think its offical rom battery life and smooth will be great !

I used to use ARHD from version 2 right up to version 6.x but since then i have been using Coredroid mainly because it looks nicer to me however like a few have said the ARHD does have a better battery life span but i can live with that as i have it on charge at night while on the xbox, its never charging when i sleep or during the day, a daily charge is fine for me
