Hi,
I got a new htc desire-S and intend to set it to OFF and than get root.
What shall I do next after that.
What do you recomand to do to get better performance and more? What are best apps and tricks for rooted phone?
thanks for advices
After root and s-off, I would flash a custom rom. Try cyanogenmod 7,I like it. You can also try doing bootanimations, and flashing themes. Cyanogenmod has crapware uninstalled so you won't have to worry about that. Also, you can download Setcpu, adfree, and free tethering.
Evo 4G
Cyanogenmod 7
ill give another vote to cm7. i spent some time checking out some of the custom roms with sense and then i tried cm7 and have never gone back. great rom
give my vote to cm7. super rom, fast, bug free and stable
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
yes cm7 but the battery life sucks. to prevent the battery life from draining try cm7 with a custom kernel (tiamat sbc or savaged zen) i use tiamat sbc with a rom based on cm7 and battery life is great.

Hey ,
guys what is the best ROM rigth now for SGS ( ROM + kernel )?
im looking for good battey and the fastest that can be xD
i dont care about the design
what u guys think?
the ROMs i have been told that good are
Simply Honey
CM7
what u guys think about this 2 ROMs ?
I think the best one is the stock JVP, with a fugumod kernel. Install a deodexed so you can install mods, like gtalk with video, a Gingerbread theme and you're good to go!

i dont like the stock ROM
but what if i will flash that kernel with simply honey rom?
its may work or its will make a problems?
Try juwe you won't regret
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
juwe's with semaphore kernel
(ROM) GingerCriskelo V7x
[KERNEL] DarckCore 2.7.3
2gether are flyin'
I'm using the Simply Honey since 3.5 but the last one 3.6.1 is very nice and stable.
@Elia: just try some ROMs and you'll find your favourite one.

Go for what's in my signature.. And i've tried lots of gingerbread.
juwe rom + dark core kernel for me. fast n nice theme
Tweaky's ROM, DarkCore kernel, Gingerbread launcher from Market. Best combination for me. Fast, stable and nice looking (stock glass screen, stock Gingerbread theme, 3D app drawer).
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S running Tweaky's ROM with XXJVP Gengerbread
The best rom that i've just found for my SGS after 2 months is:
Rom: RomKitchen jvp (all the basic stuff, you don't need all the crappy things for Samsung) with Modem JVP
Kernel: Semaphore_kernel_JVP_1.2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908).
New drivers, compatible with Tegra: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427).
I removed for caution software update process.
I OC'ed my phone to 1200 mhz and works very well. Only one freeze in 5 days.
The Quadrant score is ~ 2200 - 2750. (i know it's irrelevant but i had to mention about this)
The phone is really fast - i can compare with CM7.
The battery life is very very good.
Take a try and tell me if you like it.

Don't forget that while CM7 is a fully independent ROM, and MIUI is based on CM, all the others are based on stock.
So by taking a clean deodexed stock and patching it, you can get exactly what you want - but not the crappy themes and buggy mods we often find in stock - based ROMS.
Actually the best ROM is probably the one yoi generate from the kitchen, but I don't know if JVP is available yet.

I've tried various gingerbread stock roms and found JPJV6 the fastest and energy saver

Goatrip 2.0 for me, best ROM by far & I've been through a few
there is no one "BEST ROM" the question is what you looking for.
some have more battery time and some look better than the others.
so like isaid, the question is what you need and want
JVP with Tegrak under ONEnand Mode I suppose.

there are no such best ROM, but features u wanna have on custom ROMs. U need to know what is ur preference then choose ur own custom ROM.
Speed? definately CM7 but its still on beta.
Speed and features? Juwe's but a bit dull on the black and white.
SGS 2 apps? Tweaky ROM
Kernel? I suggest Talon 1200. Still on dev but still gives best performance and battery saving.
had darky, cyanogen, and now i'm trying Ryyu's EDB
i want the latest rom... like you not stock
All that matters to me is speed, stability and battery life.
I have been running Darkys 9.2 for a long time now, but the battery life is getting to be very poor, so looking to try out something new.
Appart from the battery life if has been rock solid to date.
Any advice is welcome

There are plenty out there and only one way to find out, happy flashing

In my opinion, there isn't a perfect rom in this world which matches your description. However, if I were to choose one, I would choose Cyanogenmod 7. It is currently on Nightly, but it is stable enough for daily usage. Battery life is not that good, but its speed complements it, combined with loads of customisations available.
I hope that helps, mate

This ^
Ive tried a bunch, I only flashed this ROM cuz Sam ported a theme I liked ended up liking the ROM since its a barebones ROM
Other then that ROM Id go with just a stock JVQ, Ive always fallen back to the stock ROMs after not liking something about the customs I installed
Thanks guys will give s.u.r.f.a.c.e a shot!
Just out of interest, does it have a lagfix like Darkys rom?
Cyanogen's battery issues are keeping me away from it for now.
I have it on my wife's wildfire and its a completely new animal since I flashed it.

no battery drain and smooth with galaxianEE2.4 kernel
GingerReal 7.1.4 , Semaphore 1.3.3. kernel, works briliant-e.
Search: Android Development topic
Stock is the best...
In the past weeks i tested several roms and kernels.
Roms: GingerReal 7.1.4, Surface 2.1, Juwe 5.2, CM7, Darky 10.2
Kernel: Speedmod, Galaxian, Semaphore
For me the best pair is Darkys Rom with the semaphore kernel on EXT4.
I never had such a smooth, speedy and long battery usage on any rom/kernel.
It's been a while since I have messed with Root on my phone since putting on Iced Glacier 1.6 for 2.2.1 Android for my MyTouch 4G.
So I need a little help or clarification.
Following this post directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175536
I updated to the 2.3.4 ROM and for some reason occasionally get the phone showing the "MyTouch" white screen after exiting an app.
Also get "MySense" failed to load or forceclosed when starting up the phone. I think that is what it says...
I re-installed my apps using Titanium Backup, but I think I am missing a few even though I made a full App and System back up the night before doing any of this new ROM rooting. I also did a "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager.
1: Is Footballs the most basic stable rooted ROM out right now?
Or what is recommended for battery length and smoothness?
2: How does Virtuous Unity compare in stability and speed and battery life compared to other ROMs right now?
I liked Iced Glacier for it's baseness and speed and lack of bloat-ware and I don't change ROMs often. I want one that works and is stable and I want to stick to it.
Not wanting to brick my phone moving to new stuff.
My other big question is:
After installing Footballs Rooted ROM, I still get the 2.3.4 OTA update reminder.
How do I remove that ????
And yes I did a lot of searching before posting this in order to refresh my brain but could not find a precise answer...
So thank you to anyone that can help with these questions and steer me in the right direction.......
I run virtuous unity on one of my my touch 4gas and it is stable and all functions work including tango,,, love the fact there is no bloatware.

It all depends on what you like actually. For a stable rom that you will stick with for awhile that is just like the update to 2.3.4 without the bloat. I would recommend GenerationX v5, its the most up to date rooted/debloated stock version. If you like sense, but not mysense. They Virtuous Unity 1.29 seems to be the favorite stable right now. Keep in mine there are AOSP roms out there like faux's and cm7 that people enjoy as well which are excellent speeds and awesome battery life over stock type roms.

Thanks for the replies so far.
I'm honestly not sure what the difference between Sense and MySense is since I don't keep up with this stuff anymore.
And if I flash one of the ROMs I of course need to make a full wipe and then install. will this erase the homepage icons and need to re-install all my apps again ?
Like i said before i'm not looking for flashy themes, just no issues & good battery life & speedy response when doing things on the phone.
Thanks again for the help....
My primary concern is with battery life and 4G. Thanks.

MIKG 3.0 Kernel that comes with it. I have had no issues with this ROM and you can add themes to it. It has Wimax working and have had no major issues with it. I go all day (work day) without a charge.
gonna agree with decks 1.3d
honestly i have been trying to figure out if the newer tiamat 4.1.0 and 3.3.7.
i like the smartass v2 4.1.0 seems to be ramp up a bit quicker and isnt a bad thing. 3.3.7 may have a little more battery life to it and i'll admit any lag may be just me lol
sidenote: the older tiamat doesnt have smartass v2 and i dont know the differences if any just saying im going off personal experienced
using stock launcher atm this time i've used adw and the newer kernel seemed to stay snappier if that makes sense. havent tried launcher pro plus yet but im sure that will be about the same since hell adw has been updated more than lpp.
i forgot to add to have a "partioned" sd card with at least 1024 in ext partition, then also to convert that from ext2 to ext3 (u can do all that in amon ra recovery) .
after rom settles flash dark tremors a2sd zip from recovery, go to market n get a2sdgui. inside this app choose to move dalvik cache to ext partition. also u can select to zip align on boot.
ps. this goes with my previous post above.

Thanks guys. I will try Deck's ROM and the suggested kernel.
I used to have 3 hrs (give or take) of battery life on stock HTC Sense. After switching to MIUI w/ a Tiamat kernel undervolted by -50V via viperMOD, my battery lasted for days at a time.
According to Green_Arrow's guide to the best GB and ICS ROMs, MIUI is described as having "the longest battery life" and is hailed as "very customizable." Green_Arrow goes on to say that "this rom is based off of CM7 and is an excelent rom."
I'd recommend MIUI to anyone looking for a fast, stable, energy-saving Gingerbread ROM as long as they stay away from the latest 1.12.23+ versions. A lot of people are reporting a lot of issues that shouldn't be issues on those builds; Most people would recommend MIUI 1.12.9. Happy flashing!
no 4G in miui...
it is very cool how u can customize the looks of it though!!
to OP: one last thing is to flash the "updated gps fix" zip file which is somewhere in these forums. will give u near instant lock.
pm me for any questions u have or if u need help!

Myn's Warm series have always been very smooth and stable for me. I'm not going to give you a link, you can find it yourself in the Dev section.
Energy 2/6/12 rom is awesome... nice and smooth pretty much bug free. can be a bit hefty on the internal storage, but with dt a2sd and dalvik on sd card its not bad.

I second this. Wife wanted an iPhone, I wasn't having that. She got an Evo and complained since day one....until this build of MIUI. She is overjoyed now. I've flashed a lot of stuff on mine and am very happy with the look and feel. Much better than any Sense based ROM I have tried by far and doesn't look like any other Android build without heavy customization. Just runs nicely out out of the box.
Doesn't have 4g but I never turned it on anyway.
